Schiller regretted it. He really shouldn't have seen it.
Before, Naiya kept hinting him to read this novel, and he felt something was wrong. But at that time, he thought that Naiya had tampered with the book, and that if he read it, he would lose all his mental health points.
At that time, Schiller felt that Naia would not adopt such despicable methods. As Constantine said, every time Naia played tricks on humans, he followed a subtle pattern of echoes and was full of black humor.
He rarely stuffs people's brains with a lot of knowledge directly like other outside gods. He is the only clone night demon who can attack indiscriminately. The conditions for summoning are very harsh, and he doesn't even mention finding the third recipe.
How difficult is it to create an octahedron? How many places in the world can you find that don’t have any light at all?
This proves that Naija is not a physical damage player at all, and what he is best at is mental attacks.
Good, he succeeded, Schiller thought, he succeeded in attacking himself with this crap that Constantine wrote.
Who can tell him! Why is it Bruce again? Why is it master and apprentice again! Why is it this kind of mutual torture drama again!
Schiller really wanted to grab Constantine by the collar and ask him if he was awake.
But thinking about it carefully, Constantine must not have known that Pride would pull him over halfway. He probably thought that the last two people to read this novel were Bruce and Pride. They were not merciless in making up this kind of story. The main theme is
A black history reveal that kills two birds with one stone.
But I'm sorry, the agent can fight against Congress at the top and work at the grassroots level at the bottom, but he really can't bear the hardship of being Bruce's teacher.
The detective escaped.
Schiller's expression was dull for a moment. When his consciousness returned, he gently raised his eyelids and looked at the surrounding situation. After all, one second he was discussing the plot of the game with Batman, and the next second he
Coming to another room, he needed some time to adapt.
He looked up and saw Bruce's blue eyes.
Bruce also saw him, and realized the moment he saw him that something was broken.
Bruce quietly walked out from behind the wheelchair where the Pope was sitting, sat down at the table, and pretended to casually reach for the book in front of Schiller.
Just when his fingertips touched the cover, his other hand also pressed on the book.
Arrogant lowered his eyes, looked at the gilded text on the cover, and said: "I was just discussing with others about the cult-like behavior mixed with weird events. We think the Pope should have been
He was deceived, but the ones who deceived him were not necessarily those indescribable beings, or rather, it was not just."
"Yes." Bruce pretended to pull back his hand unintentionally and said: "Blind and ignorant people rarely respond to the requests of believers, but some of them do pay attention to human beings. It is not complicated to communicate with these beings. You only need to read
Recite a mantra."
"It seems you have done a lot of research on this." Schiller glanced at the Pope. When his eyes were averted, Bruce wanted to reach out again, but Schiller quickly picked up the novel.
"I got this novel accidentally, but found that the things recorded in it seem to be related to us. Do you know this author named Constantine?"
"No, I don't know him." Bruce had to say.
"It seems that he may have learned about what happened here through some mysterious power. The last time I read this novel, he was only halfway through the story. I think it's time to see what the ending is."
"Maybe that's just his gibberish." Bruce said: "It's just a sleep talk written by a drug addict. It really shouldn't be taken seriously."
Schiller frowned slightly and said, "Really? I thought you would speak highly of this novel."
"Well, my literary appreciation level is very average."
"Then don't worry." Schiller also sat down across the table, opened the book and said, "Let me see how this crazy author wants to end our story."
"It's over, it's over, it's over!!!" Bruce shouted in his heart: "Naya! Naiya!! Isn't this arrogance?! Didn't you say I can add some plots to it?! What should I do now!!"
"If you are willing to pay for the publication of this novel, I will naturally provide you with the right to modify the plot, but I will not let you falsify your academic qualifications." The smile in Naiya's tone was almost overflowing.
"You did it on purpose!" Bruce shouted: "You bastard, you deliberately mentioned Miskatonic University in front of me! You are inducing!"
"No, no, no, I think you misunderstood. I mentioned this university to every player who contacted me. I asked the God of Story to help me build a map of Massachusetts. If you drive there now, you can indeed enter.
This university, this is not some empty talk."
"you……"
Bruce punched the table in his heart, and then said: "Why is the arrogance back?!"
"Can I still stop him?"
"You damn liar!" Bruce took a deep breath and said, "You knew this would happen! And you still laughed!"
Naiya indeed smiled happily. This was the most brilliant plan he had come up with recently. After a long period of planning and waiting, he could finally reap the rewards.
And Schiller has reached the end.
His eyes suddenly paused on a few lines of text.
"Double major in psychology and sociology from Miskatonic University?" he repeated, and then said: "The outstanding graduate who obtained a degree in the shortest time in history?"
Schiller raised his eyes and looked at Bruce.
"Listen to me, I can explain. It's not my fault. Nyarlathotep came to me and said..."
"He took the initiative to find me." A dry and hoarse voice appeared in the room. Schiller followed the source of the voice and saw the mouth of the face on the Pope's head opening and closing.
"It was Matthew who summoned me. He proposed to make a deal with me. If I could give him forbidden knowledge and let him use this knowledge to successfully graduate from the University of Michigan, he would spread this knowledge through novels and make me
His name is known to more people.”
Bruce turned to glare at the Pope and said, "It's obviously you..."
"I have the receipt."
The Pope had already become like that, but he could still raise his arm and took out a piece of paper from nowhere.
Schiller stood up, picked up the piece of paper and looked at it. It was a very standard cash receipt in duplicate. The one in the Pope's hand was a carbon paper version, with the words "$50,000 for the initial printing fee of the novel" written on it.
.
Bruce was shocked. He stood up and yelled at the Pope: "Nyarlathotep, do you still remember that you are an outside god? What is the receipt???"
read
"It has both of our signatures," the Pope continued.
Schiller looked down and saw that there were indeed two signatures under the receipt, one was Matthew and the other was Nyarlathotep.
Just as Bruce was about to say something, Nyarlathotep continued: "I have receipts for all his sacrifices."
After saying that, a lot of parchment fell from the sky. Schiller picked up a piece and looked at it. In addition to the interpreted words and symbols, it was the names of Nyarlathotep and Matthew.
"You should have sent the novel I gave you to old Silturk, right?" The dry voice continued: "He suffered heavy losses from the church. With the opportunity to discredit the church and expose the truth, he
I will never let it go, and the novel may be published soon."
Bruce opened his mouth and said, "Yes, so what? Isn't this doing a good thing?"
"Is it considered a good deed to tell the world about your false academic qualifications?"
"Naiya, what's the matter with you? Do you still remember who you are on the same side with?!" Bruce said angrily: "You are the alien god I summoned, I am the believer who summoned you, and he is
The spoiler who came to ruin our two plans! Is it ridiculous for you to complain to him?!"
"So you graduated from Miskatonic University by relying on the forbidden knowledge given to you by the alien gods you summoned?" Schiller asked.
"He didn't graduate. Once he graduated, it wouldn't be considered a falsification of academic qualifications." The Pope said, "He just wrote his academic qualifications into this novel. After the novel is published, everyone will know that he is a genius who was wrongly accused. In this way, he
We can successfully take over the remaining power of the church."
Schiller frowned and looked at the end of the novel.
"...Through a confrontation, Matthew finally realized that his teacher Rodolphe was not wronged. He was expelled from the church for summoning the evil god.
Matthew felt that the studies he had done at Miskatonic University were not in vain. He recognized the blasphemous symbol. This was the strongest evidence. Although he did not want to believe it, he had to admit that his teacher had become
The puppet of the evil god..."
Schiller thought for a moment and then commented: "Not a bad reversal."
Almost all the previous content is narrated from Rodolpho's perspective. Even from Rodolpho's perspective, Matthew has been studying taboo knowledge and even found the incantation to worship Nyarlathotep.
Like a cultist, this can easily lead readers to think Matthew is a villain.
Finally, it suddenly switches to Matthew's perspective, and readers can discover that Matthew has actually been studying forbidden knowledge because he thought his teacher was wrongly accused and wanted to prove his teacher's innocence.
But it wasn't until the two confronted each other on the top floor of the lighthouse that Matthew discovered that Rodolpho was not wronged. He was the one who summoned the evil god.
In terms of specific content, Rodolpho, the best personal guard among the Pope's Guards many years ago, was kicked out of the Guards because of a case, and his student Matthew always believed that his teacher was wronged, so he went to
Studying at Miskatonic University, hoping to find evidence.
Many years later, the master and apprentice reunited again in Faraines, but after the confrontation, Matthew discovered that Rodolpho was not wronged, and that he was indeed a cultist.
And he planned to kill the pope and the great prophet here, and pin the blame and the identity of a cultist on Matthew's head.
After a battle, Matthew defeated Rodolpho and successfully left here, and the story of Faraines also came to an end.
But there is a fatal problem - it was Matthew who walked out alive from here, and it was also Matthew who published the novel. So is the fact really what is written in the novel?
Of course not, Naiya took out the receipt, and Matthew's name was written all over it, proving that he was the cultist.
It's just that history is written by the victors. Matthew walked out of here alive, so the ending of the novel will naturally be how he writes it.
So once Matthew leaves the lighthouse alive, the game will immediately reach a bad ending - not only does the real cultist walk out alive, but he also blames all the evil deeds of the previous church on another person, and he can monopolize power with no guilt.
.
Naiya revealed all this just to let Schiller know that if Matthew is not killed, the game will fail.
This is indeed an interesting trick, Schiller thought.
