my cthulhu game

Chapter 198 Pretending to be... No, Safety First
When Kuroda recovered from his panic, Fuyuki was no longer by his side.In extreme panic, he turned around and ran wildly for an unknown amount of time. When the smoldering flames of reason returned to his mind, he no longer knew where he was.

what is that?
Kuroda's memory of how he escaped from there was vague.His lungs felt like they were on fire.The last scene in my memory was the terrifying scene that could not be described in any words after Fuyuki opened the door.

"Gods and Buddhas bless you..."

The space opposite the gate is empty, but it is filled with colossus-like shadows that are not cast by any light source.The bone-piercing coldness like death and void filled the entire space, and then, the "one piece" of dark void that seemed to be solidified moved, and the invisible dark vortex jumped and stretched, letting Kuroda understand that it is alive.

Everything was dark.The mobile phone has long been lost in the depths of the mine, and all I can see is the boundless darkness.

Is it the cause of night blindness, or is it just a temporary blindness caused by a pseudo-psychological disability? Kuroda can't see anything.

"Fuyuki-kun? Fuyuki-kun!" he yelled hastily.

No one responded to him.Fuyuki-kun, who was always cunning and talking about various topics, seemed to have evaporated directly from this world.

Kuroda sat on the ground in despair.Like Fuyuki, he relied on his father's reputation and connections to obtain a stable and decent official position. Now that he has fallen into a state of isolation and helplessness, he doesn't know what to do.

I don't know how long it took—maybe it was a few minutes, maybe it was a few hours—Kuroda found that his eyes seemed to be able to see things again gradually.He could vaguely make out the stones on the soles of his feet, and the shape of his own hands.

It can't go on like this, Kuroda thought.If you continue to stay, even if you don't encounter the monster just now, you will definitely die of hunger and thirst.

He must have gone deep into the deepest part of the mine.The maze-like lanes extend deep underground. Kuroda can't tell where he's coming from, and he doesn't know which way leads to the ground. He can only use the rock wall to support his body and groping forward.The only thing that comforted him was that the rock wall was extremely smooth and had obviously been artificially processed.

finally--

He saw light.

It doesn't matter if it's an underground organization, Kuroda thought ecstatically.Anyone, he thought, just a human, get me out of this damn place!

He ran towards where the light was.

"..."

In the middle of the alleyway, four ghouls with blood-red eyes were carrying a blood-stained, complete cow bone that had just been eaten and wiped clean, and Kuroda stared at him with big eyes.

Kuroda could see that the deformed cow bones were densely printed with strange black patterns, as if they were born on the bones.

Ghoul: ⊙▽⊙

Kuroda: (ΩДΩ)
"Hey, you..." The leading ghoul straightened his bent body.

What's up with this stupid intruder?Even the skeleton eaters dare not run around in the underground passage here.

【SC0/1D6】

【黑田理智检定91/17失败，1D6=5，当前理智12】

Kuroda, who had not really come out of his crazy state, was once again stimulated, yelled, and ran behind him.

"Ahead is..."

The four ghouls watched helplessly as he slammed into the rock wall straight up, losing his vision due to excessive psychological shock, and passed out.

……

at the same time.

Another part of the underground labyrinth.

Chen Qiang walked along the long alleyway with Kexila, Gu Shiyin and Cecilu.An elder of the skeleton-eater clan led the way ahead.

As for why these people?

Under Chen Qiang's instructions, the priestess woke everyone up from their sleep.Afterwards, the investigators who woke up had a dispute over whether to continue to cooperate with the ghouls, and in the end the cooperative faction barely gained the upper hand.

The people were divided into two groups—one group stayed on the ground, stayed on the ground with the priestess, and the other group explored the underground space under the guidance of another elder.

Chen Qiang originally wanted to go to the meeting alone - but he thought about it and brought the technical Gushiyin (an ancient man has the ability of night vision, and does not need to make a sanity check) with him.

After realizing the shame of her fall, Cecilu insisted on staying with Chen Qiang and performing her duties as a bodyguard.

"What? You said I was injured?" She said stubbornly, "I'll be fine with a glass of vodka for such a small injury!"

Of course, there was no vodka in the camp.However, considering that Sisi's sanity was in good condition (her will was 70 points, but her sanity was at 71 points due to the reward), Chen Qiang agreed to her request.

Xiaoxue also wanted to go with Chen Qiang, but was stopped by Helena.Xiaoxue's spiritual treatment has not been completed, and the old mystic does not want her spirit to be further stimulated.

Helena herself had other plans.

"Take this." Helena said, carefully taking out a monocle from her small bag and putting it into Chen Qiang's hand.

"After wearing it, you can share your vision with me on the ground," she said.

As a hero investigator of the Knowledge Department, Helena still has a lot of magic methods.In the underground world used as a base by the skeleton eaters, normal communication waves are difficult to connect, so spells are very important.

Even though Chen Qiang could use the system's built-in messaging function to read to the investigators (you can still hear it even if your ears are blocked, as if he was speaking directly to the target), Helena still hopes to receive real-time visual information.

Many people expressed doubts about Chen Qiang bringing Ksheela.Even with the explanation that "she is a modified person with night vision and the ability to breathe underwater", Mrs. Megan still questioned the necessity for Chen Qiang to bring "twelve or thirteen-year-old children" into the underground world.

Gu Shiyin looked very young, but in Mrs. Megan's imagination, Gu Shiyin's actual age should be a little older than her appearance.

Finally, under the direction of Chen Qiang's eyes (Kersila will only respond to Chen Qiang's order, provided that it is not too difficult to understand), Kirshea silently performed a show with two hands holding the safe and the desk respectively, from With the great strength to walk from one end of the room to the other, and the agility with which everyone rushed forward without touching the corner of her clothes, the speechless Mrs. Megan reluctantly agreed to Chen Qiang to take Keshila.

In fact, Chen Qiang has something he really wants to say——

Don't be fooled by appearances.One of the deities of these two is a long-lived species, and the other is the old master.The age of everyone added together is not a fraction of the age of Gu Shiyin (910 three years old).

And Keshila was born before Cthulhu came to the earth, and her real age is much older than Gushiyin...

"Safety comes first, pretense comes first... friendship comes second."

Chen Qiang didn't take Keshila with him to fight.

If you bring the daughter of the Cthulhu family, even if the negotiation collapses, you can let the ghouls be cautious when necessary, and dare not do it easily.Maybe ordinary ghouls can't recognize it, but presumably the old ruler behind the ghouls should still "know the goods".

　I originally wanted to make two changes today... but the power was cut off for most of the day.Is it so unlucky recently... Should I find a way to transfer... PS: There seems to be a problem with the system of the starting point recently. Sometimes the update will show a delay, but it is actually a new chapter.
