my cthulhu game

Chapter 224 Etiquette of the Trembling Court

There was a small band: led by an old man in a black suit with a goatee, the band played a strange rhythm of jazz.

【SC0/1D4】

[Chen Qiang succeeded in sanity test 35/41]

Perhaps it was a mental illusion, but Chen Qiang thought the music was quite pleasant.

"Ha. He's here too."

A hunchbacked old man was almost dragged by the guards and stuffed into the seat between Miss Yi and Keshila.

"It's Bigby." Although his figure was different from that in the virtual world, Chen Qiang still recognized Bigby's appearance at a glance.He was wearing a tattered hospital gown full of holes, and he looked exhausted.His patient Miguel was not far away, looking at his friend with wide eyes.

"You're here too?" Bigby forced a smile. His treatment was much worse than that of Chen Qiang. Chen Qiang was invited, but he was arrested.

"I met a nice guy," Miguel replied.

"Migaol, would you like to sit in my seat?" Realizing that Dean Gu Shun was staring at him in the distance, Bigby panicked, "It's very comfortable."

Miguel blinked.

"Don't sit," Miguel was not fooled at all, "I am a little Yuggoth star scientist, how dare I sit in your seat, you should invite someone wiser."

"I told them they could change their seats at will," Stepana smiled, "but no one was willing to change."

Chen Qiang: "Hehe."

For some reason, seeing the few thrones that were still vacant, Chen Qiang had a feeling of "imperfection", as uncomfortable as the symptoms of a patient with obsessive-compulsive disorder.

"Let me introduce you." Stephana said enthusiastically, leading Chen Qiang to the center of the banquet hall, and began to introduce Chen Qiang one by one.

"This is 'Mr. Chagura Pusha.' His other name is Umr Yat Tawil, and you may have heard of...his name."

Of course I've heard of it—this old man is the incarnation of Yog-Sothoth, the Outer God, "All is One".

"The Immemorial." Chen Qiang immediately bowed to the great Yog Sothoth.And Umr Yat Tawil—who obviously wore a mask to conceal his true face— nodded kindly to Chen Qiang.

"There was once a human traveler who came before my throne, and his name was Randolph Carter," said Umr al-Yat-Tawil in Chinese, "and in return for his courage and curiosity, I behind the gate Got a spot for him. You remind me of Randolph Carter, young man. But you might have a chance to do better."

Stephana smiled slightly, and continued walking with Chen Qiang, stopping in front of the fourth throne: "Miss Yi, you have already met."

"Dream Witch." Chen Qiang also briefly saluted Miss Yi.Miss Yi just nodded arrogantly to Chen Qiang.

Chen Qiang and Stephana continued to move forward.A certain hunchback wanted to huddle himself in a chair to avoid being noticed, but it was clearly a futile effort.

"It's Mr. Bigby." This time, Chen Qiang called out Bigby's name without Stephana's introduction.

"It's me." Bigby trembled.He still can't control the power of the "passer-by" very well, he just feels that anyone who comes to the scene can destroy himself.Under the watchful eyes of everyone, he didn't even have room to grease the soles of his feet.

But Chen Qiang just smiled at him and walked straight down without saying anything.The next seat was Keshira; from the moment Chen Qiang appeared, Keshira seemed flustered.

"Xila," Chen Qiang couldn't laugh or cry as he looked at the "Secret Daughter of Cthulhu" who was frantically hiding her phone in her pocket. She knew that being addicted to a phone is not a good thing, "I've seen Uncle Chen. It's no big deal of."

Kexila lowered her head, Chen Qiang stretched out his hand, and touched her little head.

"These two are Dagon and Hydra, the patriarchs of the deep divers." Next, Stephana pointed to the two people who looked like mixed-race deep divers and said, although Dagon and Hydra did not look quite right. I was happy, but when I saw Chen Qiang walking towards them, I still stood up from the chair and shook hands with Chen Qiang (none of the previous few got up).

"If you want to do marine business, they are very good partners." Stephana said.

Dagon and Xu Dela looked at Chen Qiang.

...What kind of magic did this guy use to make the young lady obsessed with that little black box?Maybe they've been in the deep sea for too long to keep up with the changes in human society in the last 100 years.

"I am Albert Shani, and this is my friend Richard Pickman." Next, before Chen Qiang approached, Mr. Shani, who was sitting under Dagon and Xu Dela, took the initiative stand up.

The successive disappearances of Billy and Garp disturbed Mr. Shani, but he was cunning and didn't want anything to go wrong at today's banquet.

[Mr. Shani failed the psychology test 60/15]

"Dear Mr. Chen Qiang, hello," said the potbellied Mr. Shani, unaware that the person standing in front of him was the man behind the scenes who took away his subordinates. "I am an investor, and Pickman is also a philanthropist. Artists and artists. I think we will be full of common language."

That's right, your subordinates are already mine - Chen Qiang said in his heart.He smiled and shook hands with Shani.

Pickman on the side frowned.He always felt that there was something hidden in Chen Qiang's smile...

[Pickman’s psychology test failed 96/85]

delusional...

Mr. Chen Qiang should be one of our comrades, Pickman thought.

He naturally followed Shani and stood up to shake hands with Chen Qiang, with a businessman's standard smile on his face.

"It will be our great honor if we have the opportunity to cooperate with your 'Fortress of Sanity' in the future." Pickman said politely.

Chen Qiang casually said a few words of "admiration for a long time".

"This is Mr. Gu Shun." Finally, Stephana and Chen Qiang came to Gu Shun, the director of Arkham Asylum.

"President Gu. I heard that you have a lot of experience in improving the treatment of lunatics." Chen Qiang held Gu Shun's hand hard, and it hurt to hold Gu Shun's hand. "We must have a good communication when we have time." .”

Is it you, the culprit who imprisoned me in the ward in the virtual world?Chen Qiang narrowed his eyes.

[Gu Shun's psychology test was 45/75 successful]

Gu Shun always felt that Chen Qiang looked at him with malicious intentions, but he knew very well that this was the first time he saw Chen Qiang.

Did I provoke this guy?Gu Shun sat down again full of doubts.

Chen Qiang glanced at it.Three of the twelve seats on the scene were empty, from the center to the edge, followed by Yog Sothoth—the empty seat—the empty seat—Idhra—Bigby (Kwache Utao Si) - Keshela - Empty Seat - Dagon - Hydra - Shani - Pickman - Gu Shun.

Chen Qiang guessed that the outer gods should be the first, then the Old Ones or the existences using the powers of the Old Ones, and finally the only special existence in the race. This should be the order.

　The sparkling Tractohedron, related to Nyarlathotep, is in the form of "a spherical object about 4 inches in size, an almost black polyhedron with red stripes and many irregular planes"; A Cube with Five or Seven Faces", a more minimalist image than a square octahedron, from Robin D. Rouse's Scary Tales, featuring the Trembling Court of Azathoth possible; the hexagonal throne and placement curves are from the original work "Crossing the Silver Key Gate" by Lovecraft; the module of the power channel for mortals to become godheads can be found in the module collection "Fear's Sharp Little Needles".
