Chapter 128: The Archaeologist Not To Be Left Behind
Although the magic circle in the center of the church was already incomplete, with the help of Gao Inspiration, Liu Xing quickly successfully compared the incomplete magic circle on the thigh bone with the magic circle in the center of the church. To put it simply,
, the magic circle on this thigh bone is the lower left part of the magic circle in the center of the church.
"It turns out that the magic circle in the center of the church was divided into four parts, which were carved on the limbs and bones of the sacrifice." Liu Xing said to Ji Wu and others.
Ji Wu touched his chin and said, "In this case, we only need to find another thigh bone and two hand bones to recreate this magic circle."
Liu Xing raised his eyebrows, and could only say in his heart that it was terrible. Now Ji Wu, the occultist, was in death-seeking mode.
While Liu Xing was still thinking of ways to stop Ji Wu from committing suicide, Zhuo Jue, who "didn't know the truth", came over and said: "It seems that this magic circle is an important part of uncovering the secrets of the church. No wonder there were so many in the past."
People came to the church and searched for a long time but found nothing. It turned out that they had not noticed these bones and used them as props to enhance the atmosphere."
Zhuo Jue's words completely inspired Ji Wu, the occultist, to commit suicide.
Ever since, Ji Wu said with a smile: "That's true. I am a mystic. I have quite a lot of experience in magic circles, sacrificial rituals, etc. So when I entered this church just now, I knew that this church had been
A terrible sacrificial ceremony was held, and the owners of these bones were the poor sacrifices in the sacrificial ceremony, so I wanted to use these bones to try to deduce the purpose of this sacrificial ceremony, and then I discovered this
Strange thing on the thigh bone.”
Liu Xing nodded, but he was already sighing in his heart, because Liu Xing knew that he had no way to stop "Ji Wu" from committing suicide.
"Oh, oh, it turns out that Ji Wu, you are also a mystic. I thought that only our European and American regions had mystics. I didn't expect that Ji Wu, you are also a mystic." Zhu Jue said with a surprised look on his face.
.
Just like what Zhuo Jue said, Liu Xing has always felt that occultists are a profession with Western characteristics.
"Haha, how should I put it? There are indeed relatively few occultists in China. Most of them call themselves Taoist priests, Feng Shui magicians and the like. There are even fewer people who call themselves occultists, and I am one of them.
Well, I was actually an archaeologist at first. Once I got a piece of parchment with strange patterns on it. It was also to study this parchment, so I changed my profession and became an occultist. But occultism is
This subject is quite interesting, and studying the materials is like reading a novel." Ji Wu said with a smile.
Zhuo Jue nodded with great interest and said with a longing look on his face: "Actually, I also planned to be a mysticologist before, but my parents did not agree with me, saying that if I study mysticism,
Sooner or later I will become a madman, and if I can return to the real world in the future, I will definitely become an occultist."
Okay, another one is crazy.
Liu Xing sighed helplessly and said: "Okay, let's not talk about this for now. Now I want to ask Ji Wu, can you guess what this magic circle is used for?"
Since there is no way to stop "Ji Wu" from committing suicide, Liu Xing can only guide Ji Wu to try not to commit suicide.
"Well, let me think about it. Now I can actually confirm that this magic circle is either used to sacrifice to evil gods or to summon evil gods. However, I am more inclined to the former, because judging from the size of the magic circle, this
The magic circle can only offer one sacrifice at a time, and generally speaking, if you want to summon the evil god, you will definitely need more sacrifices." Ji Wu, as an "expert", put forward his own ideas.
Liu Xing nodded silently. This is a floating island in the sky, the territory of Nyarlathotep. It is very normal to have a place to worship the evil god, or to worship Nyarlathotep, and maybe this is also a place.
There is a way to clear the level. As long as you sacrifice a sacrifice, you can clear the level directly.
Thinking of this, Liu Xing looked at Ji Wu thoughtfully. After all, Ji Wu is the only occultist among the players, and the only player who can use this method of clearance!
After all, in some Cthulhu running games, there is not a unique way to clear the level, especially for some modules that cause trouble. Each player will have their own special way to clear the level.
So Liu Xing began to suspect that in this promotion game, each player would have a unique hidden way of clearing the level, and completing the sacrificial ceremony was Ji Wu's unique way of clearing the level.
At this time, Liu Xing suddenly heard a strange noise. Liu Xing turned around and saw that the magic circle in the center of the church had lifted up, about one meter high.
"As expected, this magic circle is actually an altar. It seems that this church is a place for worshiping evil gods." Ji Wu said in a deep voice.
However, what Liu Xing is more concerned about is who turned this magic circle into an altar... In fact, there is no need to think about it, Liu Xing is definitely Pease!
After all, when it comes to the ability to trigger mechanisms, if archaeologists say they are second, then no one dares to say they are first.
Liu Xing looked up in the direction of Pease and saw at a glance that Pease was holding something like a remote control in his hand, with a confused look on his face.
Next to Pease, there was a helpless Ai Mei. It was obvious that Ai Mei originally planned to stop "Pease" from committing suicide, but like herself, she failed.
"Let's go over and take a look, and tell Sylvia and the others what we discovered." As an NPC, Konojue began to forcefully promote the plot.
Liu Xing and others had no choice but to refuse, so they had no choice but to follow Zhuo Jue to meet Silvia and the others.
After Liu Xing and his party met with Sylvia and the others, they exchanged information with each other, and Liu Xing finally knew how Pease succeeded in committing suicide.
After entering the church, Pease activated his soul of seeking death as an archaeologist and began to study the murals around the church. Then he suddenly gained something. On the wall on the left side of the church, Pease discovered a hidden grid.
, then he found a stone slab from the secret room, and there was a sharp protrusion on the stone slab. Pease touched this protrusion "as expected", and then was "as expected" by this protrusion.
He cut his finger, blood dripped on the stone slab, triggered the mechanism, and raised the magic circle into an altar.
