Chapter 249 The Reality Under the Veil·Chen Qiang
Lily lying on the hospital bed could not sleep all night.
[Lily's physical examination failed 96/50]
Her spirit was high, and her eyelids were so heavy that she couldn't lift them up, but once she closed her eyes, a terrible experience appeared in front of her eyes, her hands and feet were cold, and the things in the temporary dormitory that were beyond her cognition at that time also made her a little uneasy.
Mr. Chen is a kind gentleman, but he must have been involved in a horrible incident.
Suddenly, an explosion in the distance caught Lily's attention.She wanted to go out to check on the situation, but as soon as she got off the bed with weak legs, she almost collapsed on the ground.
"What happened?"
……
Hundreds of meters away from the explosion center.
The explosion has subsided.
A shiny black substance the size of a fingernail, this is the last thing left of the mighty Shoggoth King.This piece of slime flowing outside the hall saved its life: after being separated from the main body, it took a while for the slime on the King of Shoggoth's body to completely lose its activity. Before that, it was still a part of the main body.
The body tissue at the center of the explosion is completely destroyed, and the remaining part is also self-destructed under the intervention of the spirit. Only this small remote part escapes the catastrophe because of the slow self-disintegration.The fear of losing most of his body accelerated the speed at which the Shoggoth King overcame his suicidal urges, and his last part disintegrated from the size of a fist to the size of a fingernail, finally regaining the ability to control himself.
"TIKI..."
Along the gap between the building and the soil, the last remaining organization of the Shoggoth King retreated into the distance.
It's not clear how long it will take to regain its heyday -- 1000 million years?[-] million years?It survived anyway, but for a slow creature like a shoggoth, recovery alone would take a long time.
[Xiani failed the lucky check 84/1; under the influence of the curse, a success in this check is considered a failure, and a general failure is regarded as a big failure]
There was a sound of footsteps.It was a woman with a delicate face like a porcelain doll, with slender braids, and a black dress swaying calmly.
"Ah. Shani..."
Miss Yi held out her fingers with sharp nails.Shani screamed sharply, but he couldn't resist.
"It's a pity...you didn't complete the task."
The king of Shoggoth, which was left a little, was held in her palm.The small lump of black slime trembled in fear.
No, great witch of dreams.forgive me...
"However, I am very satisfied with your final performance. You have shown a tenacity far beyond ordinary life. It is amazing."
The trembling of the black and bright jelly seems to be slightly lighter.Maybe... maybe it's still alive?
"So I changed my mind."
Miss Yi sighed faintly.
"Come back to me, King of Shoggoth. The genes I entrusted to you have completed evolution, and now, you are eligible to become a part of me again."
The mucus twitched violently, but Miss Yi didn't give it a chance to escape.She crushed Shani with her palm, and the Shoggoth King let out an unwilling roar, and it was completely shattered into a puddle of black thick water, which then penetrated into Miss Yi's frighteningly pale skin.
【SC0/1】
[Chen Qiang failed sanity test 94/41, current sanity 40]
"No matter how many times I watch it, it's still so disgusting." Chen Qiang, who had just released his transformation, came over.
Yidhra, witch of dreams, buryer of all living things.She will absorb the genetic material of other beings to satisfy her endless desire to evolve, sometimes, the process will be extremely evil and grotesque...
"It's obviously the first time you've watched it." Stephana approached from a distance, "This is already a very gentle way for her."
[Task: Deciphering the evolution plan of Yidhera, the Dream Witch, completed]
The system's notification sound calmed Chen Qiang down.
Sure enough, just to complete the task, the system requirements are not high, as long as you witness it once.
[The task exploration rate reaches 50%, and the following spells related to Shoggoth are automatically acquired: Shoggoth Summoning, Shoggoth Command, and Shoggoth Binding. 】
[You will not consume sanity for acquiring these spells, but you still need to consume sanity and MP as usual to cast these spells.For example, Shoggoth Binding requires 5 points of mana and 1D8 points of sanity]
...Don't use it lightly, maybe it can be transferred to the mythical creature investigator.
[Accumulatively complete two mission objectives in the "Arkham Gods" campaign to get an additional reward: Spiritual Recovery (please use it within 1 hour)]
[You can designate any investigator in the APP to eliminate one of the subject's symptoms of madness.If the subject has multiple symptoms of madness, one will be randomly selected to be eliminated, and it will not work if the subject is mentally healthy.Notice!Investigators themselves may not be aware of these symptoms, and the ability to instantly recover from mental illness has indeterminate effects]
Chen Qiang couldn't help showing a smile.
In the east, the sun has risen.
It's been a long night, but it's dawn at last.
……
[Chen Qiang failed the physical examination 60/50]
Probably because the transformation was timed out for a few seconds, Chen Qiang was enveloped in unprecedented fatigue.However, he still exerted himself to communicate with the two outer gods.
"Sure enough, the two are still the two after 100 years." Nyarlathotep and Idhra are not gods in terms of time, but it seems that a short time disorder cannot affect their consciousness.
"Hurry up and give Miss Yi the agreed reward." Stephana gestured.
Chen Qiang shrugged.
Strictly speaking, Shani was calculated by two foreign gods and herself: while Miss Yi asked Shani to get the belt, Stephana also conveyed to herself in advance that Shani was coming after getting Miss Yi's consent. Information.
Because of this, Chen Qiang was able to keep an eye on the "myth map" in time, and set up a net in advance to wait for Shani to take the bait.I have to say that Shani was very nervous and plunged into the prepared trap, just as Chen Qiang, Miss Yi and Stephana expected.
As a reward, Chen Qiang wanted to lend a belt.Fortunately, Chen Qiang will be able to mass-produce this thing sooner or later, and supply it to the mythical creatures in large quantities, so he doesn't feel very distressed.
"……All right."
Chen Qiang handed one of the mythical belts to Miss Yi, but Miss Yi didn't intend to take it.
"To 'Crouching Chaos,'" she said coldly, "it's the toy she wants. I'm not interested in technological creations."
"... Poor Mr. Shani really died unjustly." Chen Qiang couldn't help but rolled his eyes.
"Can God's deceit be called deception?" Stephana said with a smile.
"What else do you want?" Chen Qiang asked carefully. The task of "satisfying Naia's wish" is still not completed.
"Oh, you just have to do what you should and want to do," Stephana said with a charming smile.
……
After sending the two foreign gods away, Chen Qiang yawned.
After working hard all night, it's time to take a break.
Suddenly, his footsteps stopped.he remembered...
[Spiritual recovery].
...Yes, there is still this thing that can be used.
Chen Qiang took out his phone.
Applying it directly to Cecile or Lily can cure their temporary madness, Chen Qiang thought, but leaving their symptoms alone will heal quickly.
"Is there anyone else who can use it? Everyone's mental outlook is very healthy. You can't save the number of times."
Chen Qiang browses his list of investigators.Suddenly, what she said when he first met Stephana came to his mind.
"Is there a disease in my heart...? The character's condition here is quite healthy. Just give it a try."
It won't work after 1 hour, waste is waste, Chen Qiang thought indifferently.
He turned on the [Spiritual Recovery] function, clicked on his name, and clicked OK.
Today in Arkham, the sky is still cloudless.
