Chapter 324 Shoggoth pretending to be a villager?!
Chapter 324 Shoggoth pretending to be a villager?!
In Liu Xing's opinion, the era when Sirius entered the Soul Box should have been during the first suppression of the Shoggoths, so there should have been some Shoggoths stationed in the Fisherman's Village at that time.
Because the cells of Shoggoths are extremely active, Shoggoths can be considered to have the property of immortality, and they have no problem surviving to this day.
As for the appearance of Shoggoth, it can be regarded as one of the more terrifying existences among mythical creatures, because Abdul Alhassad, the author of the most famous magic book in the Cthulhu mythology - "The Necronomicon", once
I have commented on the Shoggoths, saying that just thinking about the Shoggoths once existing on earth makes me feel extremely frightened.
Therefore, this is the reason why Panda Pig almost lost 20 san points at once when he saw Shoggoth.
And if you put it this way, then the hidden boss of this Fisherman Village module is very likely to be an elite-level Shoggoth.
This made Liu Xing feel a little panicked. If this elite-level Shoggoth ended up fighting, then players like him would basically have no power to fight back.
What's more, Liu Xing felt that there were at least two ordinary Shoggoths in this fisherman's village...
etc!
Liu Xing suddenly remembered one thing, that is, he once read the original novel of the master of craftsmanship, "At the Mountains of Madness", which was also the first appearance of the Shoggoths. He mentioned such a detail, that is, the human organization
The Antarctic scientific expedition team discovered a mural in an ancient city, which described the Shoggoths pretending to be human to please the ancients. This shows that the Shoggoths have the ability to disguise themselves as humans!
This means that the villagers in Fisherman Village might be mimicked by Shoggoths!
The more Liu Xing thought about it, the more likely he felt that this conjecture was very likely, because the behavior of the villagers in Fisherman Village was so strange, they looked like puppets on strings. But if these villagers in Fisherman Village were regarded as Shuge
From what Si saw, all this can be explained very clearly, because these Shoggoths who mimic humans are not good at acting.
And now, based on this conjecture, Liu Xing can already imagine the ins and outs of this module.
First of all, in the Fisherman's Village many, many years ago, the ancient Sirius and his tribe were attacked by the Star Familiar and the Deep Ones. Because they had no time to escape to the bronze gate to the Dreamland, Sirius could only die on the battlefield.
After his death, Sirius was forced to put his soul into the Soul Box, waiting for his companions to pick up his Soul Box so that he could regain a body.
At that time, the Shoggoths who were servants and construction tools of the Ancient Ones, because the first Shoggoth rebellion had failed, Sirius and other Ancient Ones strictly guarded the Shoggoths in their territories, and they may have been locked up in
In a certain underground secret room, as for why Sirius and other ancient ones did not command the Shoggoths to join the battle, it was because Sirius and other ancient ones were afraid that the Shoggoths would take the opportunity to launch another rebellion.
As a result, the Shoggoths who were locked in the secret room were lucky enough to escape, because the Star Familiar and the Deep Divers only eliminated the Ancient One and did not conduct any more searches.
Then came the changes in the world. I don’t know how many years passed, but an ancient tribe appeared in the current Fisherman Village. As for the race of this ancient tribe, it is impossible to verify it.
Because this ancient tribe discovered the bronze gate leading to the dreamland, and got in touch with the moon beasts in the dreamland who happened to be behind the bronze gate at that time, and began to cooperate.
This ancient tribe used the advanced weapons provided to them by the moon beasts and began to attack other surrounding races. They sold the captives of these races to the moon beasts as slaves, and the moon beasts provided more and more advanced weapons to this ancient tribe.
.
Perhaps by chance, this ancient tribe had discovered the ruins left by the ancient ones, and used one of the buildings as their holy place and held sacrificial rituals.
Next, it may be that the crazy expansion of this ancient tribe has attracted the attention of the Star Familia, or it may be that this ancient tribe triggered some kind of ancient facility or mechanism during the sacrifice, attracting the Star Familia. In the end, although this ancient tribe
There are advanced weapons provided by Moon Beast, but trying to use them against the Star Familia is simply a joke.
As a result, the Star Familia destroyed this ancient tribe, but at this time, the Star Familia may have broken through the secret room where the Shoggoths were imprisoned during the attack, allowing the Shoggoths to finally regain their freedom.
However, it is still possible that due to the attack of the Star Familia, the Fisherman Village has now become an isolated island. Therefore, the Shoggoths who have escaped the control of the Ancient One are naturally unwilling to return to the bottom of the sea and accept the enslavement of the Ancient One. Therefore, these
The Shoggoths decided to stay on this isolated island. After all, freedom is more precious than anything else.
Therefore, the Shoggoths live freely on this isolated island. However, although the Shoggoths have extremely strong evolutionary capabilities, the Shoggoths still need an imitator to evolve effectively, so these Shoggoths
They have spent countless years and have not evolved any abilities.
At this time, the villagers from the original Fisherman Village came across the sea and decided to build their own paradise on this isolated overseas island.
When these shoggoths meet the villagers of Fisherman Village, they may regard them as one of their own. After all, these shoggoths themselves can mimic the appearance of humans.
Therefore, these Shoggoths may coexist peacefully with the villagers of the Fisherman Village at the beginning, or they may secretly observe and use the villagers of the Fisherman Village as a reference to start a new round of evolution.
.
As a result, these Shoggoths have the ability to completely imitate humans.
But at this time, the Shoggoths may have noticed that the villagers in Fisherman Village are not their own race, but a brand new version that they have never played before...ah, one that the Shoggoths have never seen before.
A new race.
And the Shoggoths should also know a saying - those who are not of my kind must have different minds.
As a result, these Shoggoths launched an attack on the villagers of the Fisherman Village, killing some of the villagers in the Fisherman Village and eating all the villagers in the Fisherman Village.
In the worldview of the Cthulhu Mythos, human beings can basically be regarded as a "delicious dish" because many mythical creatures like to eat humans. Maybe the taste of humans is very suitable for the taste of these mythical creatures.
Therefore, the Shoggoths are no exception.
The Shoggoths who have eaten humans naturally know how good humans taste, so these Shoggoths are eager to eat more humans, but after all, the Fisherman Village is isolated overseas, and the Shoggoths
Through studying human beings, we also know the basic situation of human society.
In the Cthulhu Mythology, although the mythical creatures all look like ferocious monsters, these mythical creatures are not like the monsters in human movies. Although they are powerful, they do not use wisdom. You must know that the Cthulhu Mythology
Most of the mythical creatures in the game have average intelligence above that of humans.
Therefore, the Shoggoths know that it is impossible for them to break out of the fisherman's village and go to the nearest human gathering place to hunt and kill humans, because this will definitely attract the attention of the island country and even humans around the world.
Only those that are destroyed by humans.
Therefore, these Shoggoths thought of a good way, which is to use various means to attract outside humans into the Fisherman Village. In the eyes of the Shoggoths, the best method is undoubtedly a honey trap.
After all, Confucius said that food and sex are the same.
Ever since, Matsui Yui began to leave the Fisherman's Village, looking for suitable partners, and becoming boyfriend and girlfriend with them. Finally, under the pretext of going back to her hometown to get married, she brought those people who were kept in the dark to the Fisherman's Village, and left them behind.
The shoggoths in the Fisherman's Village can have a full meal, and after repeating this, these shoggoths also learned to perform tricks to confuse the humans who come to the Fisherman's Village...or in other words, their food
.
Liu Xing closed his eyes and meditated. Although his conjecture was very bold, the possibility had reached more than 80%. He only needed to confirm a few more details to prove this conjecture.
The first detail is, are there any humans among the villagers in Fisherman Village?
At present, Liu Xing believes that there should be many real humans in Fisherman Village, but the ones that can be confirmed so far are Matsui Ichiro and Matsui Yui, or it may be Matsui Yui, and the old man of the Inoue family.
All in all, Liu Xing believed that the Shoggoths launched an attack on Fisherman Village only after Li Yongjie left Fisherman Village.
In this case, if Matsui Ichiro is telling the truth, then the two letters are most likely to be the Inoue family deliberately forging letters to frame Matsui Ichiro in order to seize the position of village chief, so that the Inoue family can kill Matsui.
After Ichiro, if the island police discover this murder case, they can use this to portray Ichiro Matsui as a secret church missionary with evil intentions, and the Inoue family as heroes who successfully killed evildoers.
And if Matsui Ichiro is telling lies, then Matsui Ichiro should be a charlatan, and the value of Matsui Ichiro, a charlatan, to the Shoggoths will be much higher than that of the villagers of Fisherman Village.
So in the end, the Shoggoths decided to keep some humans who were useful to them. The two most important humans were Ichiro Matsui and Yui Matsui, because Yui Matsui was the "bait" and was responsible for attracting outside humans.
Fisherman Village; and Matsui Ichiro is the "fishing rod", responsible for determining whether these outside humans are safe to eat.
As for the other villagers of Fisherman Village, they were brainwashed by the Shoggoths and became "extras". Because there are not many Shoggoths in Fisherman Village, they cannot completely imitate a qualified village.
And the old man of the Inoue family may have regained a certain amount of sanity for some reason... Of course, Liu Xing felt that the old man of the Inoue family was just a distraction in this module.
The second detail is why the Shoggoths drew those composite magic circles in the villa?
As a mythical creature, Shoggoths can also learn many spells in the setting, so it is understandable that Shoggoths can outline these composite magic circles. As for the magic circle related to the Old Ones,
Liu Xing thinks it should be the Shoggoth used to worship Cthulhu, who is the enemy of the Ancient One.
As for why the Shoggoths would outline these composite magic circles, the best explanation Liu Xing can think of at present is that for the sake of safety, these Shoggoths decided to first determine whether the prey delivered to their door can be eaten with confidence, and then use these
After the prey has been brainwashed, he then disguises himself as the prey and uses various means to convey to the outside world that the prey is preparing to commit suicide, so that he can escape the investigation of the island country's police.
Thinking of this, Liu Xing couldn't help but sigh. He didn't expect that there were so many hidden elements in this module, and various interference options came one after another. In just a few days, he had changed his mind so many times. The most important thing
It’s because I feel that my ideas are probably right every time...
Liu Xing felt his face hurt just thinking about it.
"Although I just took the medicine that Rei Ishikawa gave me, whenever I think about that monster now, my heart beats faster, my blood pressure rises, and an indescribable sense of fear lingers in my heart, which makes me now
I still have lingering fears." Panda Pig said with a scared look on his face.
Although some people knew the origins of the previous Star Familia and Moon Beasts, no one knew about the Shoggoths this time. After all, in the modern context, the appearance rate of Shoggoths is still quite low, because
Most of the Shoggoths live in seclusion in various cities established by the ancient ones, while a small number of Shoggoths who live outside have basically become subordinate races or symbiotic races of other mythical creatures, or slaves of some powerful magicians.
.
Therefore, it is understandable that the character cards of all the players present do not know the existence of Shoggoth.
However, as a professional, Zhang Jingxu still wants to express his opinion here, "Hey, if we can communicate with the outside world now, I can contact my master. I believe my master should be able to know what you are saying about Panda Pig."
This way we can know ourselves and our enemies and be prepared to deal with these mythical creatures in advance.”
And Ishikawa Ling couldn't help complaining at this time: "If we can really communicate with the outside world, the most important thing we should do now is to send a distress signal to the outside world, let us leave the Fisherman Village, a place of right and wrong..."
The atmosphere became a little awkward.
At this time, Liu Xing knew it was time for him to come forward, "Well, I think I should have a way to know the specific situation of this mythical creature, because Sirius should know the existence of this mythical creature. After all, this place used to be Sirius'
territory."
PS: Thank you for the tip, I didn’t expect it to happen.
