Chapter 214 Arkham, the Sunny Town
Pickman's office.

Pickman looked dissatisfied at the Shoggoth Lord in front of him.

You have also been doing business in Arkham for a long time, why didn't you see "Tekeli-li" when the dog in Mida yelled at you?
"Okay. Then give me the photo to be translated this time." The fat Shoggoth Master didn't care about Pickman's gaze.

As long as Pickman wants to continue translating the lost texts of the Ancients, the partnership between the two parties will be unbreakable.Oh, where are you going to find another shoggoth lord willing to cooperate?Not to mention the ancient ones.

Pickman walked towards the safe, and took out a dark brown envelope that was full; while Mr. Shani walked to the window of the office, looking into the distance boredly.

……

shoggoth.

Al Hasad, the author of the Necronomicon - correctly spelled "Abdul Al-Hazred" - strenuously denies its existence, arguing that it is nothing more than the product of a wild dream .

However, this terrifying long-lived species created by the ancients objectively exists on this icy planet, and for more than a billion years, it is still entrenched in the darkest corners of the earth.

To this day, underground, in the depths of unknown ruins, those explorers who go deep into the dark can still witness these mentally retarded amorphous swellings, emitting a terrible green glow, and their mocking , the cry of "Tekeli-li! Tekeli-li!"...

However, even more terrifying than these ancient monsters is that very few Shoggoths have evolved intelligence comparable to intelligent races.They mingle among deep one and human societies, as powerful as their bestial brethren and as cunning as the most cunning schemers among men.

Like the Old One masters who created them, shoggoths do not die naturally and have no strong need to reproduce.These obese monstrosities that produced intelligence are obsessed with infiltrating civilized society - and only civilized society can "understand" their power and terror.

Unlike those of the same race who only care about their own pleasure, Mr. Shani actively participates in the construction of human civilization and society, just like Dagon who taught the Philistines civilization, some ancient tribes and countries regarded him as walking The gods in the world.

However, no matter how close he is to humans, Mr. Shani is still a powerful Shoggoth Lord.Perhaps the scariest of all Shoggoth lords.

Eating when it is revealed is always its happiest time.The best objects to eat are those humans who are very curious and smart, and deep divers are also fine.The old ones are more delicious, but it is hard to find surviving old ones on the earth now.

……

Standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, Mr. Shani looked at Arkham Town in the distance.

Just north of the treatment center, a baseball team practiced at Miskatonic Stadium, which he financed to rebuild.On the east side is a reservoir, the sun shines on the sparkling water, and several old men are leisurely fishing by the edge of the reservoir.

In the past few years, there have been several mysterious disappearances and drowning incidents around the reservoir (this place hit by a meteor hides two outer space creatures "Star Color", one of which died after absorbing enough nutrition many years ago) left Earth, and the other was later disposed of jointly by Mr. Shani and Pickman), but has now regained its composure.

A nice, sunny town, isn't it?

Then, his gaze went downstairs.

Several visitors were walking up the steps, including a girl in a light green dress with braids.

"Tekeli-li!" Lord Shoggoth said with a cruel smile on his face.

Arkham is a wonderful town for us, Lord Shoggoth thought.

……

Gu Shiyin suddenly shivered.

Something is staring at her—like a prey being targeted by a hunter, even if the hunter cannot be seen, it can intuitively feel the danger is approaching.

But that feeling disappeared immediately.

……

"Didn't I tell you not to make noise?" In the office, Pickman said angrily.For a moment just now, he suspected that Mr. Shani would not be able to maintain his human form.

"Ah, my friend, I'm sorry," Mr. Charney said politely.His tone returned to calm, but he couldn't hide the greed and desire on his cheeks.

[Pickman psychology check 85/85 success]

This guy is hiding something from himself, Pickman thought.

And Shani didn't realize that Pickman saw through his emotions.

His long life has already endowed him with patience far beyond his peers.

However, when was the last time he ate an ancient person?ten years ago?a century ago?Ten centuries ago? 1 years ago?

Had it not been for Pickman's presence, he would have struck almost on the spot.

Finally Mr. Shani restrained himself.In addition to being worried that this is Pickman's territory, showing the true appearance of the Shoggoth on the streets with people coming and going will cause great confusion, and he doesn't want to give up the decent human identity of "Mr. Shani".

"Then I'll take my leave." Taking the envelope from Pickman, Mr. Shani bowed in a very gentlemanly manner, but because of his size, it was a bit ridiculous.

Mr. Shani's two subordinates were already waiting for him at the door.They were all as fat as Mr. Shaney himself: one was a young black man, the other wore a disheveled undershirt, breathing heavily, and looked out of place in the elegant hallway.

"Billy, you go there," Shani whispered to the guy in the messy sweatshirt, "catch the little tree downstairs. Don't be discovered by humans."

Billy let out a sharp, distorted flute-like sound.It is still in the stage between ordinary Shoggoths and Shoggoth Lords, and can understand human language, but it has not yet perfectly formed human pronunciation organs.

In Shani's view, that ancient man was very young, and his life span was estimated to be less than one-tenth of his own.Although Shani also likes to enjoy the fun of hunting by herself, for an opponent of this level, sending Billy is enough to flatter her.

Watching Billy leave in a hurry, Shani narrowed his eyes.

wonderful day.

The "dining table" can be eaten tonight, Xia Ni thought.

……

first floor.

Officer Barker, Officer Emily and Gu Shiyin stood in front of the medical guidance desk.

[Officer Buck's credit rating test failed 35/27]

[Officer Emily's credit rating test failed 43/30]

"Sorry, Mr. Pickman is very busy." The nurse on duty didn't give the two policemen any face. "If you want to see a doctor, register over there; if you want to see Mr. Pickman, you can contact his secretary."

The Buck brothers and sisters looked at each other helplessly.

"let's go."

The three walked out of the orthopedic center, and Billy, who had stepped out of the elevator, followed closely behind them with a weird smile on his face.
