Before Schiller could curse, he noticed that the surface of the originally red blood began to flash with green light. Blue and green intertwined and merged, becoming like the last point of the ocean's light disappearing into the deep sea.
Horrible whispers echoed in the small space, and Schiller heard a slight friction sound in his ears, like the soft sound of moist, smooth skin passing through water plants, which made him feel dizzy and nauseated.
The book in front of him cracked, the pages melted into the water, a complete lake unfolded, and a huge thing was gradually rising from the bottom of the lake.
Schiller endured the severe pain in his head and remembered the name he just heard in the whisper - the knight of Cthulhu "Otum".
Tentacles stretched out from the lake, and a huge head with countless tentacles on both sides was floating from the lake. The skin was grey-green with holes and protrusions, and there was a big golden eye in the center that kept rotating.
, the vertically split mouth below has layers of tiny tentacles and teeth.
This was not a cultist at all, Schiller realized, this was the knight of Cthulhu, the Great Old One, Otum!
"Oh." The voice of the Transcendent sounded in Schiller's ears, "Didn't you all come out of that room? Why did you still summon it?"
Due to the severe headache and dizziness, Schiller could not speak at all. Human beings could not face any of the old rulers directly, and the effect of the old seal was minimal.
Fortunately, the first round soon entered, and Schiller was finally able to escape from his original feelings.
He took a deep breath, resisted the urge to yell at Naiya, and asked the Transcendent: "The final BOSS you designed is Autumn?"
"Yeah, we can't really let you fight Cthulhu, right?"
Schiller suddenly recalled that he thought that the evil spirit of a cultist was attached to this book. In fact, it was because Naiya told him that the book was alive and said that a cultist sacrificed all of himself to form the book.
This book.
Naiya is such a liar!
Schiller felt that Naiya might not be lying, but that he did not tell the whole truth. There might indeed be a cultist who sacrificed himself and sewed his own skin into this book, but the biggest secret hidden in the book was
The danger is not the cultists at all, but Autumn!
When certain conditions are met, Autumn, the ruler of the old days, will be summoned. The final BOSS battle designed by the Beyonder is also about fighting this Cthulhu Knight.
There is very little information about Otum, except for a mention in the book that Cthulhu occasionally communicates with the Old One, especially when he is angry.
Schiller understood that Autumn was Cthulhu’s secretary and best friend, and Cthulhu would complain to him when something bothered him.
But the above records are all. They only record Autumn's private life and say nothing about his appearance and abilities. This caused Schiller to fall into a very dangerous situation.
"What do you think my odds are of winning this fight?"
"Haha, Zero." The Transcendent was very straightforward.
But as if he was afraid of being misunderstood as gloating, the Beyonder still explained a few words, "In this case, after all of you are here and collect more than 80% of the important props in this game, there is almost a 70% chance of winning.
"
"What do you mean by winning?"
"Expel him."
"What's the probability of attrition?"
"100%."
The Transcendent paused for a moment and then said: "According to the style of the Cthulhu Mythos, humans are unable to fight against the terror deep in the stars. Otum is a secondary old ruler who can barely fight against it, but can only expel it.
, and someone needs to make sacrifices.”
"What does sacrifice mean?"
"Dedicate your soul and become Autumn's dependent. This will help you delay some time, and then use the old seal to drive him away."
Schiller probably understood that they should find the old seal and the method of using the old seal in the process of the game, and then in the final battle, one person would stand up and sacrifice himself to delay time, while the others arranged the formation and put the Austrians away.
If Tumu drives away, he wins.
Now Schiller has obtained the old seal, but his method of using it is obviously relatively simple. It is okay to disgust the deep divers, but it is ineffective for Autumn.
But now he is alone and cannot sacrifice himself to delay time. Besides, he has no better way to use the old seal. Even if he delays time, he cannot drive away Autumn.
Schiller sighed.
But fortunately, although they didn't follow the process, they got the customs clearance treasure chest in the captain's room without clearing the level, which was the small sculpture weapon and golden mead.
Schiller looked down at the wine bottle in his hand, uncorked it without hesitation, raised his head and swallowed the golden wine.
In an instant, the effect of golden mead was activated, and Schiller felt a warmth burst out from his chest.
The colors that represented terror faded away and turned into dreamy colors, with orange, red and yellow intertwined like a sunset on the West Coast.
In just a few seconds, Schiller seemed to have seen the entire development process of the earth from a desert to a modern society. He saw alien flying saucers, dancing dogs in skirts, Broadway theater performances, and all kinds of things in his ears.
Such dance music, cheerful and lively.
The symptoms of dizziness and tinnitus completely disappeared, and breathing was no longer so difficult, as if I was drunk in a beautiful dream.
After an unknown amount of time, Schiller felt someone shaking him.
"Schiller! Schiller! Wake up! Are you okay?"
Schiller suddenly woke up and saw Batman crouching beside him, shaking his body.
Schiller's consciousness was still a little hazy, until a trace of the smell of blood penetrated his nose, causing him to wake up completely.
He sat up from the ground, feeling that he smelled of alcohol. He looked down at the bottle in his hand, and it took him a few seconds to realize what had happened.
"I'm fine." He said, feeling his voice was a little hoarse, and cleared his throat again.
"What happened to you?"
"Old Dominator...forget it, when did you come here?"
"Just now, I saw you lying on the ground, holding this bottle of wine in your hand, and throwing the book over there."
Schiller followed Batman's gaze and discovered that "Water God Kthayat" had not been destroyed. It was just lying on the ground quietly, as if everything just now was just his illusion.
But Schiller knew very well that no, the two disasters that destroyed the fleet were the arrival of Autumn, the ruler of the old days.
Schiller sat up straight, took a deep breath, and allowed his brain to resume functioning. He said: "Something happened just now. The ruler of the old days came. I drank to protect myself. What are you doing over there?" Sample?"
"I evacuated a little late and had a conflict with several people from the church. I was slightly injured, but not seriously."
Then Batman brought a bag, and he gave Schiller's gun back to him and said: "I have modified this gun. You can load it from here and you can aim and fire normally."
"I modified the electric baton, and its safety was significantly improved. I tried it on people in the church, and the lethality was pretty good."
"Are you hurt?"
"Yes, they are professionally trained and have guns." Batman nodded and said, "I was shot in the calf, but after getting out of danger, I took out the bullet and bandaged it. Question Not big."
Batman took out some more food and water from the bag, and they were replenishing supplies on the spot. Schiller said while eating: "Naya, come out and let's talk."
Please collect the book!
Naiya said nothing.
"You should know that anyone can write novels." Schiller's tone contained a threat. "If you continue to remain silent, I will take it as your acquiescence that I have sent out our chat history."
"I just didn't expect you to be so straightforward." Naiya said: "It seems that you really hate being insane."
"I do hate being insane, but in this case I don't drink. It's not a matter of insanity. I will die in an ugly way. It's all thanks to you."
"But all this could have been avoided. Reading a novel is not that difficult for you."
"But this novel was written by Constantine, and it's about you. The combined destructive power of the two is almost more than that of Bruce's paper. It's only normal that you don't want to read it."
"You are extremely prejudiced against both the author of the novel and me."
"And your actions just confirmed my prejudice."
"So you're not going to watch it yet?"
"If I don't watch, are you still going to continue your actions?"
Naia was silent again.
At this moment Batman suddenly said: "Maybe you can take a look."
"Why?"
"I can't stand the two of them saying bad things about you in my mind." Batman said: "They said you were incompetent and unreasonable..."
"Is this the attitude of asking for help?"
"You said it was a fair deal." Naiya replied.
"Is this your business?"
"I don't intend to have a verbal confrontation with you. You will only see what happens after you tell me."
"It's because you are always at a disadvantage when it comes to words." Schiller snorted and said, "It's not that easy for you to plot against me."
"I can give you some compensation."
"What compensation?"
As soon as Schiller finished speaking, he heard a crisp sound coming from behind. When he looked back, he found that it was a bottle of red wine.
He picked up the red wine and handed it to Batman. Batman turned the bottle, looked at it, and said, "It's a good bottle of wine."
"Is that the only thing? I'm not as arrogant as I am easy to fool."
"You can identify it."
Schiller was doubtful, so he picked up the red wine and activated the Cthulhu Mythos skill, and soon learned the information about the bottle of red wine.
"Naiya's compensation gift: a bottle of golden-year red wine, exuding an alluring aroma. After drinking it, the mental health value will be reduced by 100%, and you will fall into an endless hallucination state that cannot be awakened."
Schiller opened his eyes slightly, "Good guy, it's pure poison, I can't even pretend anymore."
He told Batman about this effect, but Batman said: "It's poison to others, but not to you."
Schiller also came to his senses at this moment. Also, normal people go crazy immediately after their sanity reaches the bottom, but after Schiller's sanity reaches the bottom, there is still a second stage.
For ordinary people, falling into an endless state of hallucinations is basically equivalent to taking a direct train to heaven. However, after Schiller loses all his sanity, he will fall into hallucinations, so this negative state is about the same for him.
No.
In other words, this is a bottle of special poison that Schiller can drink, but no one else can.
Schiller immediately thought of the use of this thing.
From the few words of the black man before and the inference of a series of clues, Schiller felt that this so-called great prophet Gad should be a fake.
Which pretender can refuse to share a drink with his enemy?
