Schiller has returned to the ground. He found a map of the village in the laboratory. Old Siltke marked some important locations, including his target Jeff's home. Schiller decided to go there to see
look.
He has always been worried about the curse spoken by old Siltek. If Jeff really mastered that curse and used it to attract the Deep Ones, then the effect of this curse must not only be to attract these half-humans.
The half-fish monster is not the whole disaster, but just some omens.
In order to find out what the curse was about, Schiller had to go to Jeff's house and take a look. He felt that this guy would definitely leave some clues.
While walking on the road, Schiller suddenly felt that there were far fewer deep divers. He had already walked two streets and didn't encounter any patrols. Moreover, there were some scorched tire marks on the corners of the street.
What happened? The Deep One started playing go-karts because he was too idle?
Jeff's home was not very far from Siltek's home, and Schiller arrived after a short walk. It was an ordinary two-story building that looked very shabby, and might not have been renovated for decades.
After he walked in, he only found some ordinary daily necessities, but at this moment, he saw the lamppost of the car light shining from the corner.
That direction is Siltek's home.
Schiller stood on the second floor for a while. When the car stopped at the door, he saw old Siltek wearing a gas mask sitting in the driver's seat.
He knew that this guy was not that simple, but he didn't expect him to actually run out.
Old Siltke also saw Schiller.
"You can continue to stay here, great hero. I'm going back to Sigelturk." Old Silturk grinned and said, "Troubles that even the church cannot solve are about to happen all over the world. I'm here to help.
There is something they want in it, and soon they will be begging me."
Schiller stood at the window and looked at him silently.
He knew that the Sigeltek mentioned by Old Siltek was the place where the detective came. It seemed to be the nearest town from here, and it should at least be a city with an airport.
Schiller suddenly realized that the name of this city was somewhat similar to the name of old Siltek. Basically, there was only one pronunciation difference. Could this be the headquarters of the Siltek family?
If this is the case, Old Siltek can be regarded as a dragon entering the sea this time. On his own territory, even the church may not be able to do anything to him. No wonder he came here to remind himself.
Schiller guessed that Old Siltek had information that the church didn't know. It might be the technique that makes you immune to madness when you lose consciousness. It might be the cursed message, or it might be the source of the Deep Ones.
In short, he felt that the church was a liar. They could only solve the troubles they deliberately unleashed, but were powerless against real disasters such as the Deep Ones.
This means that another turbulent era will follow, and he seems to be sure to use the chips in his hand to go further.
In the last chaotic era caused by the church, the old Silturk made a lot of money by relying on the insurance business against weird events, and this time he seemed to feel that he would still succeed.
Even if this disaster is beyond anyone's control.
Schiller didn't argue with him, just watched his car drive away. He knew very well that in the Cthulhu mythology, the more you know, the faster you die.
And someone like Old Siltek, who desperately wants to make money by taking advantage of the information gap, will only feel that the information advantage he has is not enough, so he will explore more, and what is waiting for him is something more terrifying than death.
Schiller found the cellar in Jeff's house, where feed for sheep was stored, and there were also some souvenirs that Jeff brought back from the sea, including an old rudder, sailor pattern cloth, and a
A torn sail and a tangled mass of nets.
There were a lot of boxes piled up in the corner, but what made Schiller feel a little confused was that there was nothing in the boxes, but in another part of the room, the feed was piled so full that it could hardly be placed.
Schiller saw only a tiny bit of feed at the bottom of the top box, which seemed to have been dumped recently.
Schiller immediately thought of the lost sheep.
Schiller moved all the boxes away, and then saw that the floor tiles directly under the bottom box seemed to be loose.
He peeled off the floor tiles and found that the soil underneath was abnormally moist and emitted a peculiar smell, which smelled like human decay.
Could there be human fragments buried underneath?
Schiller thought for a while and started digging with a crowbar, but soon the smell of decay began to be mixed with some moisture.
The bottom of the crowbar hit something soft.
It's not that the touch of a human corpse is so soft and sticky, but rather solid.
Schiller didn't dare to touch it with his hands. He continued to dig down with the crowbar and pried the thing out.
The moment he saw the cover of the book, Schiller froze in shock, because the cover of the book said "Water God Kethayat".
Why are you the old man??!!
Schiller was really shocked, but he was more shocked than anything. He immediately backed away two meters away. He was thinking that if he pretended not to see it and buried the book back, would he treat it as nothing?
Anyone who is familiar with the Cthulhu mythology must have heard of the "Necronomicon", which is also the most famous book. Schiller also wrote a fake "Necronomicon", but he wrote that thing
In fact, it is equivalent to the Cthulhu Encyclopedia and has nothing to do with the real "Necronomicon".
But as long as you have a certain understanding of the Cthulhu mythology system, you must have heard of this book "Water God Kethayat", because it records the horrors in major rivers, lakes and water systems. As we all know, Cthulhu
Lu is sleeping in the ocean.
It clearly records the methods of communicating with many real Old Ones, and even summoning spells.
In the team-running game, this thing can be called a team-killing engine. As long as everyone has the reading skill, everyone wants to read it, and everyone who has read it wants to summon it. If it is summoned, it will definitely not be defeated, and of course it means that the person who is dead cannot die again.
What's even more outrageous is that there is a spell in this thing that can directly summon an alien god named Ibo Zitor.
When many people stack boxes of characters from the Cthulhu Mythos, they feel that, except for characters like Azathoth, Yog, and Black Goat, they are all scum.
But in fact, at least in the world setting of Love Craftsmanship, the upper limit of human contact is basically the level of the Old Ones. Even except for the legendary investigators, most people are difficult to deal with a deep diver, and the Outer God is
Pure background board.
Even though many group games are full of excitement against Naija, in fact, those who are fighting are not the real Naija at all, but some clones or images, or simply the family members.
Let's put it this way, the level of fantasy in The Hobbit's setting is almost as high as that of Mr. Ke. If it's higher, you have to go to "Journey to the West" to find it.
Check out the correct version one by one!
But this broken book can directly summon foreign gods. Let’s not talk about the success rate. If he dares to write this spell, he already has a sense of beauty that does not care about the life and death of human beings.
Let's talk about this Ibo Zitor, he is called the "Great Dark One", he is a humanoid demon who wears a cloak, has countless breasts, and black bat-shaped wings.
Schiller was reviewing his information in his mind, and suddenly remembered that there was something very special about this alien god, that is, he used his own blood as a weapon.
It is also recorded in the "Book of the Dead" that as long as you speak the spell to summon him, you can summon the blood of Ibo Zitor, which can leave your body, swallow your soul, and suffocate you.
The only way to escape the fate of drowning is to hide in the water.
If the Prowler is also hidden in the blood, isn't the overlap between the two zodiac signs a bit too high?
But according to Old Siltek, these so-called weirdnesses should all be created by the church to scare people. Even if they really exist, they are a kind of weird man-made disaster and should have nothing to do with outside gods.
The church creates weirdness in order to reshuffle the world's forces and gain a place for itself. It can be said that it is dazzled by fame and fortune.
But what if someone really wants to go public through a backdoor listing?
There is indeed an essential difference between the weird things created by humans to attract attention and the tragedies caused by alien gods, but in fact, if weirdness is defaulted to a common phenomenon in daily life, then the disasters caused by some alien gods mixed in it
Is it not so easy to distinguish?
Schiller realized that the situation in the church might be more complicated than he imagined. These monsters that surprisingly overlapped with some of the attributes of foreign gods might not be completely man-made disasters. The church might have been infiltrated by cultists long ago.
But this is not what Schiller wants to consider now. He is hesitating whether to pick up this book "Ktaiyat, the Water God".
This thing has no effect on Schiller, because he has no intention of reading it at all, let alone summoning any external gods. The main reason why he wants to hold this book is that he is afraid that the book will be picked up by others.
.
In fact, this cellar is not particularly hidden. Someone might be able to find it, especially old Siltke. It seems that he has left, but what if he comes back with a kill?
It would be really troublesome if he got this book.
Schiller guessed that the ancient book Jeff stole might be this "Latin Volume". This thing is very rare. There are only three copies in existence, two of which are still in the hands of private collectors. If this copy is successfully shipped to the UK,
It should be hidden in the British Museum, but unfortunately Jeff cut it off halfway.
This thing is very dangerous, but it is also very valuable. Assuming that he can bring this book back to the church, he will definitely have the capital to negotiate with the Pope, especially if a disaster has already broken out.
In other words, even if he is really a traitor who was expelled and hunted by the church, he can still use this book to borrow the power of the church and definitely disrupt the negotiations between Huang Lao Siltke and the church.
After thinking about it, Schiller decided to bring the book with him.
He had no intention of actually giving the book to anyone. Destroying it would be the best option, but before that, he had to let the book maximize its value, other than summoning the alien gods.
After finding this thing, Schiller no longer dared to stay in the village.
Although the deep divers are troublesome, they are far from reaching the level of destroying the world. However, the appearance of "Water God Ketayat" and the emergence of a way to directly communicate with the old rulers mean that this disaster will never only affect
A small village and port.
Schiller looked at the map and decided to visit the important buildings in the village as soon as possible.
