This was an emotion that did not require psychoanalysis to be felt, and he did not seem to have thought that Schiller would choose him.
But what followed was a feeling of joy. Schiller was even disturbed by his mood. He sighed and said: "I advise you not to be happy too early, although I am not the kind of person who borrows money without paying it back."
People, but whether they can pay it back is another matter."
"Okay." Naiya said: "My condition is actually very simple. I placed a box deep in the underground cave. I hope you can help me find it."
"...Is it that simple?" Schiller's tone was full of doubts.
"It's not difficult to fulfill your request." Naiya said seemingly fairly: "It doesn't necessarily make people crazy. Even if you read it with a kind of resistance, nothing may happen. Otherwise
How do those lunatics in Arkham study spells?"
Schiller thought about it and asked: "Is there Arkham Town in this universe? Is there Miskatonic University?"
"Maybe, but that's a long way from here."
Naiya gave an ambiguous answer, but Schiller felt that this might be an important clue.
Because he remembered that the famous University of Michigan is located in Massachusetts, and the Siltek family's insurance business is distributed in Connecticut and Massachusetts. Could this be a coincidence?
Connecticut and Massachusetts are two adjacent states located in the northeastern United States. They have a large border area and can be said to belong to the same region.
Because of their small size, these two states do not attract much attention, but they have one thing in common, which is that their educational resources are very good. One has Yale University and the other has MIT. In addition, there are also many famous universities.
.
The town of Arkham, where Miskatonic University, the most famous fictional university in the Cthulhu mythology system, is located, is located in Massachusetts.
Based on the climate conditions of Faraines, Schiller can probably judge that this small village should also be located in the northeastern United States and is also close to the sea. Even if it is not in these two states, it is not too far away. It may be Myanmar.
Southern Indiana or northern New Jersey.
Schiller doesn't think this is a coincidence. Since they are placed so close to the University of Michigan, there should be a map that can be explored. However, Arkham Town is not peaceful. With Schiller's current level of knowledge, going there will be a loss.
.
Could it be that Naiya wanted to seduce him there?
Of course, Schiller would not be so easily fooled, so he also wanted to see the legendary U-M, but obviously no conditions were mature now. It would be difficult to deal with a deep diver, and he had to fight with the legendary investigators.
It’s still too early to compete on the same stage.
"Okay, I promise you," Schiller said, "You know this won't be the last deal."
"Don't worry, you won't die easily."
As Naiya's voice fell, Schiller felt that his vision was covered with a shadow, his mind became very clear, and the cover of the Book of Water God in his hand showed strange colors.
Schiller opened the book. Reading Latin was a little difficult for him, but after all, he clicked on the skill and quickly understood the content.
In fact, this is not so much a spell book as it is a travel diary. It records all kinds of anecdotes about various rivers and lakes, which is very interesting from a literary point of view.
But whenever the gods and monsters that may exist in these water systems are introduced, the introduction will become very detailed, with some hand-drawn pictures, and there will be a lot of spells and text underneath.
Just looking at these things made people dizzy. Schiller felt that the shadows in front of his eyes were gradually fading. He understood that this was too much taboo knowledge that was impacting the barrier Naiya had given him. He hurriedly turned back the page.
.
Although the contents of the book did not cause him any real harm, he still remembered almost all the names and spells. Although many of them were things he had known before, he would have a legitimate reason to know more about this world.
It is very important to share information with other teammates. His teammate is Batman.
Schiller quickly read the entire book and successfully found a distorted five-pointed star-like pattern on the penultimate page of the book. This was the legendary and famous old seal.
In Schiller's vision, this pattern exudes a soft light that is completely different from the entire book. There is neither the frivolity of the changing colors nor the scary shadows. Just looking at it is refreshing.
Schiller gently put his hand on it.
Suddenly he felt a pain in his palm. When he took it back, there were intermittent ink marks on his palm. Although it also emitted light, it was a little weak and it seemed that it could only be used once or twice.
But this is also good news, which means that Schiller will no longer be eroded by forbidden knowledge in a short period of time, nor will his mental health be lost due to seeing something twisted.
The old seal on the book still radiates light, but Schiller dare not move anymore. Although he thinks he should be able to extract the power from it again, it will be even worse if the old seal loses its power and the book escapes.
trouble.
Although this book does not have arms or legs, it is a living creature that Naiya has personally certified. There are many ways to make you unlucky, so that they can fall on a less careful person, thus
Spread this taboo and dirty knowledge.
The previous owner of this book was probably the kind of cultist who preached crazily, otherwise he would not have dedicated his body and mind to this book.
After getting what he wanted, Schiller closed the book, put the book and the Bible in his arms, and walked towards the street again.
Batman came back at the right time, and happened to meet Schiller walking out. He was carrying something in his hand, which was obviously his preparation.
"I made some homemade petrol bombs, and used the flour in the kitchen of the house not far away to make a dust explosive device and an igniter. In addition, I also want to go back to the lighthouse and improve the electric shock device made by the clown. It should be usable.
Worth it."
The two of them returned to the lighthouse together. This time there was no need to cover up their whereabouts. They found a car directly on the roadside, put their things in it, and headed towards the lighthouse.
There were also deep divers blocking the road, but Batman's driving skills were good and he left them all behind, and he arrived at the lighthouse in a short while.
The two of them made some final supplies here. First, they ate some food and took care of their wounds. Batman improved the electric shock device made by the Joker, made two simple electric batons, and gave one to Schiller.
Schiller actually really didn't want to use such a dangerous weapon. This thing looked like a detonator in his hand and was about to explode at any time.
But he also had to admit that electric current was too lethal to carbon-based organisms. If he used this thing to electrocute deep divers, he would be able to electrocute one by one. If the power storage capacity was not good, he could kill seven in and seven out on the ship.
.
Before they set off towards the dock, Schiller gave Batman the cross necklace he had found in the old Siltek safe. He said: "This thing should have the effect of resisting mental pollution, but it is not used often. In the end,
It’s better not to take risks.”
Please collect_(Six\\\Nine\\\Books\\\!)
Batman wasn't polite to him, and didn't ask stupid questions like "What should you do?" because he knew that Schiller must have other ideas when he gave this thing to him.
Neither of them are the kind of people who would sacrifice themselves for others at any time. Even if Batman is a good person, he also knows his own importance and will not make meaningless moves to block the knife. Naturally, Schiller is the same.
Having a teammate like this is really a peace of mind. Both of them feel the same way. There is no need to explain anything at all, they just need to move towards the goal.
They headed towards the dock from a path on the southeast side of the lighthouse, encountering two or three waves of patrolling deep divers on the way.
However, this kind of creature with two feet on the ground obviously prefers to walk on the road built by humans instead of walking through the woods, so Batman and Schiller were not discovered walking in the woods.
The sun was shining right at this time, but the pier was shrouded in thick fog, which could be said to be completely invisible. Compared with the previous dark night, it was only slightly brighter, and the visual conditions were still very poor.
Schiller and Batman climbed in through the fence of the pier, and using the cover of the goods stacked on the pier, they reached the trestle near the first large ship.
There was a guard at the door of the ship, and Schiller was a little hesitant to kill him because it was unclear how many people were inside the ship. If they dragged people away in the past and alerted the deep divers inside, it might cause
Big trouble.
But Batman had already crouched down and was ready to attack, and Schiller could only follow behind him.
The moment the deep diver turned around, Batman performed a beautiful chokehold and dragged him directly to the stern of the ship. With a force of his arm, he broke the deep diver's neck.
Schiller dragged the body aside and threw it into the sea.
He didn't know if the deep divers would be resurrected when they returned to the sea, but obviously the bodies couldn't just be thrown here. After all, if a patrol came over, they would know that there was an intruder.
At this time, Batman had quietly walked to the door and waved to Schiller. Schiller raised his eyebrows and gave him a look, and Batman nodded.
The tide was high at this time, and the ship floated relatively high, which allowed them to enter directly from the loading area on the lower level without passing through the most heavily guarded deck. The two of them entered the door carefully.
It was pitch dark after entering. Schiller put on night vision goggles. Batman didn't wear any equipment, but he walked very calmly.
Schiller finally couldn't bear it anymore and asked in a low voice: "How did you do it? Did you turn on X-ray?"
Batman turned around and gave him a slightly confused look.
Schiller then remembered that Batman seemed to have maxed out his psychoanalysis skills, and his current mental state was very bad, which meant that he was in full-fire mode, and Arrogance might be there to guide him.
Is it equivalent to opening a fluoroscope?
Thinking of this, Schiller felt relieved. He didn't care who went crazy, as long as it wasn't him.
As he advanced in the darkness, Schiller couldn't help but start to think. Naiya actually put his own things deep in the cave. Was it a plot he added while the Beyonder was away?
