my cthulhu game

Chapter 201 Who is stronger, humans or the skeleton eaters?
The handwriting on the ox bone is quite strange, it is not "engraved" on the bone, but integrated with the bone, as if it grew directly from the bone.

[Ancient Poetry Yin Cthulhu Mythical Check 39/35 failed]

[Ancient poetry sound biology test 11/79 success]

Gu Shiyin didn't know these words, but she knew what this phenomenon meant biologically.

"It's a bone tumor..."

The young ancient said slowly.

"what?"

"When the owner of these bones...was still alive," Gu Shiyin bit his lips, "these words grew alive on his bones."

"..."

【SC0/1】

[Chen Qiang failed sanity test 45/44, current sanity 43]

Chen Qiang shivered slightly.

He glanced around.

Sissy was still nibbling on her beef burger.

Why can Sisi avoid SC?Chen Qiang thought resentfully.

It seems that thick nerves also have the benefits of thick nerves.

"This is a disease called 'striate osteoma', which grows from the bone marrow from the inside out, but I don't know why...it grows into...the shape of words," Gu Shiyin said slowly, "As long as it is a creature with bones, suffering from this disease will be quite... painful, and then slowly decline and die."

"We carcass eaters don't like to waste," said the elder's voice under the mask with a smile, "We have made full use of the flesh and blood of this cow, and of course we will not let go of its bones. See, this is when it is alive X-rays of it. We guarantee that ... all the organs in it are used to the best of their ability."

Chen Qiang and Gu Shiyin looked at the photo.

In the X-ray, the poor, dying animal.

Its whole body, every inch of bone was covered by striated osteoma.

On the bones, countless words made the cow into a living "book".

[Helena Cthulhu myth check 32/40 success]

[Helena’s Chinese test is 5/80, a great success]

[Helena’s sanity check failed at 91/15, and her current sanity is 14]

On the ground, Helena, who shared the view with Chen Qiang, almost fell off the chair.

She wouldn't be too surprised just that the "naturally growing" bone tumors on the bones naturally turned into some kind of words.

The bizarre tricks of mythical creatures abound.Perhaps this is the unique spell of the skeleton eaters, they use this method to record important information.

However, Helena once followed the Yisi people to systematically study human civilization, including various glorious eras in Eastern and Western history.

The writing on the ox bone is indeed an important document, but it is not any ritual or incantation at all, and it is not even a work related to the occult.

However, at this moment it appeared on the cattle bone in the most peculiar form.

"Edit-Zhong-Small-Ban-Hui...Shang-Jun-South-Lv-Di..."

"This, could it be..."

……

"Mr. Chen," the elder said solemnly, "As you can see, all the 'remains' belong to the great god of the charnel house, Mordiggian. The concept of this 'remains' is not limited to living things. So do the 'remains' of the concept."

"You mean to say..."

Chen Qiang faintly realized something in his heart.

"Mr. Chen Qiang, what you hold in your hand is the skeleton of 'knowledge'." The purple-robed priest's voice was distant.

"The 'remains' of knowledge?" Gu Shiyin tilted his head.

In the long history, the ancients lost too much knowledge, and finally went to perish.

"What you are holding in your hand is not some great magic book," the elder said gently, "it is just an 'ordinary' music book. It is the lost "Book of Music" in the "Six Classics" of China a part of."

"..."

"Book of Music".Together with "Poetry", "Book", "Li", "Yi" and "Spring and Autumn", it is also known as the classic ancient books of Huaguo.However, since the Qin and Han Dynasties, the "Book of Music" has been lost, and some people even suspect that the "Book of Music" never existed in this world.

"We raise cattle not just for food, every time the 'knowledge' on this planet dies," the old priest said slowly, "Our ossuary family will use spells to make those scattered and lost words disappear. , to re-grow on the skeleton of the creature."

"The Book of Music... no longer exists in human society."

"But even if this knowledge is 'dead' in the world," whispered the old priest, "in the domain of our skeleton eaters, the remains of knowledge survive. Even if humans lose more than they create, in the end, All the bones that record lost knowledge will be collected by us in the great library underground."

"You...why do you do this kind of thing?" Chen Qiang asked softly.

"Our skeletal eaters guard the boundary between life and death," said the old priest with a strange gleam in his red eyes, "in our Pansi language, another meaning of 'sanctuary' is 'library' .We, the family of skeletal remains, are also a family of book collectors, my friend. Human beings are a family living in the present, and our family of skeletal eaters will always watch over the past."

……

ground.

"Ms. Helena," everyone looked worriedly at Helena who was kneeling on the sofa m(o__), she looked shocked by the three views, and she was in a bad mood, "What's wrong with you?"

"It's... okay." Helena raised her head with difficulty.

Even the great Yisi people have to pay a huge price if they want to study the ins and outs of a civilization from prosperity to decline.Through "consciousness exchange" to exchange Yisi's consciousness to the target race to collect information, not only the cost is extremely high, but it is also accompanied by great risk.

But the skeleton eaters...

A bunch of scavengers!
They actually mastered such a convenient magic?

Didn't it mean that they are not good at technology, and their magic power is average?

How could they squat in their own library and find out all the knowledge that has been lost throughout the ages?

The burning of books in the Qin Dynasty, the destruction of the Library of Alexandria...

Every loss of human civilization accumulates knowledge for the ghoul's library.

What have we been up to so far?What about archaeological research?

……

"So far," the old priest said mildly, "I and the purple-robed priests have only used livestock as the object of casting spells. For example, turning a calf into a 'knowledge base', when it is ready to be slaughtered, it will The ancient books from the bone marrow of the whole body are also ready to 'grow'. For the knowledge of human civilization, cow bones are enough. But..."

He took out his mobile phone: "Please take a look here. Here is the latest news from Arkham."

"Can the underground be connected to the Internet?" Cecilu muttered.

"We repaired WIFI," the old priest replied. "The signal is not good, so we are used to browsing offline. Mr. Chen, look here!"

Chen Qiang followed the finger of the old priest to see the title - "The orthopedic treatment center located in the south of Arkham, the former town of Salem officially opened, Arkham city officials sent a congratulatory letter"

"The Arkham you want to investigate..." the old priest said slowly, as if lost in memories, "is also an important place for our skeleton-eating clan."

"I heard it."

"Decades ago, a young member of the Pickman family helped build a nuclear energy research institute at the Miskani Tok University there. The Pickman family... is also quite famous among our skeleton eaters. Talented. What I want to ask you this time is related to their family members."

　The eye disease happened again, so I was sent back to order antibiotic eye drops and asked to rest more.
