my cthulhu game

Chapter 276 The Cosmos and the Reef of Reason
Mild sunlight streams into the room from the windows.It's not far from the core of the battlefield, but the sky merged with the dreamland is still calm.

Old Chen smiled.

"Although you may be a little unbelievable, Helian is an emissary of the old gods," he said, "there are all kinds of old gods, and not all old gods will choose the 'emblem', which is the 'old seal' As a means of imbuing power. You see... you may be a little sick, but I'm used to it."

Old Chen, who knew that Chen Qiang was coming, used the power of several old gods to help him build an enchantment, so that the two people of different eras could meet smoothly.In the past, Chen Qiang only had the knowledge provided by the power of Daoloth, and compared to the old Chen who lived for 1000 years, his knowledge was still inferior. (Note)
"I don't care whether those old gods used test tubes or animal fur to make 'old seals'." Chen Qiang said peacefully.

Old Chen's smile froze.

"It seems that you have completed the Arkham campaign." Old Chen said deeply.

Chen Qiang nodded.

"Uncle Yuantu hopes to call on the power of the old god Ctanide to re-strengthen the seal on Cthulhu. However, seeing your appearance, I know this plan will not succeed."

The relationship between Lao Chen and the old gods is peaceful coexistence, but the old gods obviously did not intervene to support the "eternal war" of mankind.

The "Old Seal" of the Old Gods does offend most mythic creatures, and even has a noticeable effect on weaker mythological creatures.

According to legend, the old gods who can help human civilization resist the old rulers... What kind of existence is it?
"People always praise the legend of the war between the old gods and the old rulers," Old Chen Youyou said, "but to humans, this is meaningless. Since most of the old rulers are obviously 'evil forces', People naturally attribute the 'Old Gods' to the righteous side. But in fact, some of the Old Gods are just unknown incarnations of some alien god or old ruler, and the remaining ones do not care about human beings. fate. The Old Gods treat humanity as nothing more than the Outer Gods and the Great Old Ones did."

Chen Qiang was silent.

"When Cthulhu's elder brother, Cthulhu, whom we regard as the 'Old God', Ketanid sealed Cthulhu on the earth and caused the mass extinction of the earth's creatures," said Old Chen, "it was never for the earth's creatures Think about it. They don't care about us, they only protect their own race, or use mortal races to satisfy their incredible 'curiosity'..."

Old Chen looked out the window in a daze: "I have always tried my best to maintain an alliance with the 'friendly' old gods, but in fact, what the old gods do is only for their own purposes, just like the fragile alliance between humans Same."

"Then I'm relieved." Chen Qiang nodded.

After all, it is only human beings who can help human beings.

"It seems that you just came back from Arkham," Old Chen asked, "Did you receive the trial mission for the reward of that battle?"

"That's right." Chen Qiang said softly.As soon as Gu Shiyin and others completed the portal, he rushed back to the 20th century immediately, and used the system's server function to project his consciousness to the 1000 years after Lao Chen, of course only the player's identity.

The reward of the battle made him have to confirm something with Lao Chen.

Old Chen paced around the room.

"So, what do you want to ask?" he said, "Is it the reward you get after completing the trial?"

Old Chen made a choice that he regretted back then, but maybe, just as he expected, this Chen Qiang from a parallel world would not have to make the same mistakes...

Chen Qiang shook his head.

He leaned against the window sill, looking at Lao Chen's expression.

"No," Chen Qiang said calmly, "I probably already guessed the reward from the 'system'."

Old Chen raised his eyebrows.

"Then you," he said, "want to ask me what I did with this reward?"

"I guessed this too." Chen Qiang said.

No matter how strong the "fortress of reason" is, it is impossible to "naturally" and "smoothly sail" to occupy such an important position in the development of human civilization without the help of the system.

Old Chen pouted.

"Since that's the case, what are you doing here?" Old Chen complained, "Hurry up and help me organize the reinforcements..."

"What I really want to ask is the content of your trials back then," Chen Qiang said calmly, "You didn't remind the topics related to the trials—the trials given to you by the system are very simple."

Old Chen blinked.

"I guess our parallel worlds have gone on different paths, and the power of the 'system' is the same for us," Chen Qiang said, "I want to confirm...how big is the difference between our two parallel worlds. "

Old Chen looked directly at Chen Qiang and was silent for a while.

"Okay," he said, "once the power of the enchantment is exhausted, we won't be able to communicate directly like this, so let's hurry up. I'll tell you about my trial."

"The system asked me to go to Easter Island in the early 20th century," Lao Chen said, "'The Chaos of Fault' is waiting there. It showed me something..."

"...After the stars returned to their positions, many old rulers walked on the earth with their heads held high, while human beings were just raised livestock and hunted prey. Such a tragic situation." It took a lot of determination for Old Chen to say. After saying these words, it is obvious that witnessing this scene with his own eyes had a great impact on his reason.

Since then, he has been determined to help mankind obtain extremely strong force to counter those enemies that destroy mankind, even if this is a war that is doomed to failure, he will have no regrets.

"Is that all?" Chen Qiang asked indifferently.

"Isn't that enough?" Lao Chen showed a puzzled look, "Could it be that your test is different?"

"My test needs something more," Chen Qiang said succinctly, "Just wait now, the person you want will come within 24 hours."

After saying that, Chen Qiang disappeared from there.

……

Easter Island in the 21st century, the Hangaloa luxury hotel.

Chen Qiang took off his virtual helmet.

In the 30th century, this historic island was built by Lao Chen as a dreamlike base.

In the 21st century, it is a famous tourist attraction for the mysterious "Moai stone statue".

"How is it?" Qin Lingxue who came here with him asked concerned.

"It's okay," Chen Qiang said, looking at the beach in the distance, a group of tourists from all over the world were watching a stone statue by the water, "I seem to understand a little bit."

Easter Island... the island is 2000 kilometers away from the nearest inhabited island.

It is like a lonely reef, alone, in the vast waves of the South Pacific and accompanied by the endless sea, just like the earth in the sea of ​​stars, extremely small in the vast universe.

For Easter Island, its only "companion" in the boundless sea is the twisted underwater city-Raliyah.

　Note: In the setting of this book, the most famous old god Nodens is a special incarnation of Yog-Sothoth (a setting scheme in the TOC setting book).As I said before, even if the "system" stipulates that the same person from different eras cannot meet, other Outer Gods can create certain opportunities, but there is still a limit to exchanging a large amount of information for a long time. PS: It will explode in the past few days, and then the book will be finished...
