Chapter 141 The Key to the Door
Chapter 141 The Key to the Door
Cthulhu Mythos (Cthulhu Mythos) is based on the novel world created by the American novelist Lovecraft, and is a myth system jointly created by many authors.
The common theme of the series is that human beings are worthless in the universe, and that all quests for the unknown lead to disaster.
It interprets the insignificance of human beings in the universe and explores fear.
Lu Fanqi gave you a brief introduction: "So far, the Cthulhu mythology system integrated by Chaos Elements Publishing House may be the most well-known system setting, including - old gods, old rulers, mythical creatures, mythological books , legendary historical chronology, etc..."
"The key to the door is Yog Sothoth, one of the three original gods."
Seeing that everyone looked confused, he had to add an explanation of the original god of the three pillars, "The gods in the Cthulhu mythology do not have their own duties like other myths. Most of them are indescribable and powerful beyond imagination. Horror, grotesque, and crazy impressions are collectively referred to as the Old Ones."
"Among them, the Outer Gods belong to the most powerful existence among all the Old Ones. Even because the level is far higher than the average Old Ones, in a considerable part of the area, the Outer Gods have been classified as a single category, which is far beyond the existence of the universe and has no purpose. , disorderly, great but blind and ignorant, high-ranking gods that cannot even be understood by human thinking."
Shen Yongle has already found the relevant information, so he read out this explanation: "Among the outer gods, the 'god of blindness and ignorance' Azathoth is the primordial chaos of the universe."
"Afterwards, the 'Black Goat of the Forest' that gave birth to tens of thousands of descendants - Shabu Nicholas, 'All things are one' - Yog Sothoth, and 'Crouching Chaos' - Nai Arlathotep is also known as the original god of the three pillars."
"The above four are the most important rulers among the Outer Gods, and the most important existence at the center of the Cthulhu mythology system."
Yan Ye interjected: "What does it mean that all things return to one?"
In the past few days, he has completed two dungeons in order to chase other people's points. It seems that he has exhausted too much energy, and the whole person is lazy. Look up at the blackboard from above the gold-rimmed glasses.
A pinch of naturally curly bangs slid from the corner of his forehead with the movement, giving him a desolate and decadent beauty.
Lu Fanqi was obviously taken aback by his all-time goblin aura, and he was taken aback before explaining: "It probably means the wisdom and origin of the universe."
"Yog-Sothoth is the ruler of all wisdom and knowledge, his body covers infinitely extended dimensions, and everything in the multiverse is its projection."
"Lovecraft's exact words are: This is a thing of infinite being and self, in which everything is, and which is in everything - that is not just in a space-time continuum not something in the body, but is connected with the ultimate source that animates all in the boundless sphere of all existence."
Shen Yongle was startled.
"Why... feels a bit like Akesha?"
Lu Fan spread his hands: "Actually, it is, but if you want to delve deeper, you will return to philosophical issues..."
"But this is normal, isn't it?" The beautiful boy shrugged, "It's already a B-level dungeon—when Messiah came out of the B-level dungeon, he said that he had vaguely noticed the essence of Aksha, maybe we cleared the level This dungeon can definitely feel something."
Shen Yongle was stunned, and his mind was that the master of metaphysics could say "clearing the B-level dungeon" so lightly and lightly.
Fortunately, he didn't open the barrage today, otherwise there would probably be a group of people who would change their nickname for Fanfan to "Versailles".
On the other hand, Yan Ye waved his hands rather dumbfounded: "Have you been in the virtual game for a long time, have you forgotten what reality is?"
"Myths are myths—because they are all human imaginations."
He glanced at Lu Fanqi, "Don't you believe in science? Yog-Sothoth is just Lovecraft's fictional god... Even if it really exists, it must not be the same thing as Aksha."
"Because Aksha does exist, and it's clearly targeting humans."
"Moreover," Mo Jue said, "Akesha won't directly set her own essence as the main line of the dungeon—it's just the main line of the B-level dungeon."
The few people sitting there paused for a moment, and they all understood in an instant.
It's too hard for players...or too easy.
If Aksha takes herself as the main line, cracking this dungeon is equivalent to unlocking the essence of the entire Aksha, knowing why the doomsday game started and how it ended...
Naturally, he should know how to shut down the game and rescue everyone trapped in it.
This dungeon will undoubtedly be extremely difficult, and it will probably take countless people to try again and again to find the right solution...
But in this way, it is equivalent to Akesha directly hiding all the most important things in this single copy.
Yu Jia's research direction can be simpler and clearer.
Yan Ye shook his head: "Impossible, at least B-level is not possible."
Everyone agreed with this judgment, and quickly turned their attention back to the main line of the instance.
Mo Jue thought for a while and confirmed: "As far as I know, the Cthulhu Mythos is actually a system that is constantly evolving. It can be regarded as a collection of interrelated stories. There are many settings that even contradict each other? "
Lu Fanqi nodded: "Yes, almost like that."
"Then," Mo Jue looked at the other two, "I don't think the Cthulhu Mythos needs to be too thoughtful, as long as you understand the 'Key of the Door' related content is enough."
Yan Ye and Shen Yongle also agreed with this idea.
It took several people two days to read all the relevant novels and materials related to Yog-Sothoth or the Key of the Door, and summarized several characteristics of it.
Yog-Sothoth is the ruler of time and space, and is usually regarded as the supreme being after Azathoth.
It is all-knowing and omnipotent, and everything in the past, present, and future is covered in his huge body, and sometimes it will give knowledge to those who he thinks are worthy.
"Besides," Shen Yongle looked at the display screen in his hand, "Yog-Sothoth is the portal through which the void things pass again, the labyrinth that knows time, and because it is connected with all time and space, it is also called the key and the door."
"It's worth noting," Mo Jue said, "Many novels have scenes where Yog-Sothos destroys mankind."
"Warlocks and wizards believe that it is the supreme god, and they will open the teleportation array for them to plunder and destroy the earth from a distant field. In return, Yog-Sothoth will give believers the ability to travel between countless universes." ability."
Yan Ye propped his head on one hand, and tapped the screen of the e-book in front of him with the tip of the pen: "My book, Key to the Door, is quite friendly to human beings, probably similar to some legendary guides before the abyss, who will help people explain confused."
Lu Fanqi explained: "That's because Yog-Sothoth has two incarnations-the one worshiped by religion is usually Avgomon, who is regarded as the god of the future and time, and will only appear in front of humans when he is provoked .”
"And the one Yan Ye saw was Tavel Yat Umr, sitting on the throne of the giant stone pedestal behind the first silver key gate leading to the ultimate abyss of the universe, guiding and helping to pass through with some kind of ceremony. The creatures who pass the first gate lead to the ultimate gate. Generally, they are more kind and merciful to human beings."
After Lu Fanqi finished speaking briefly, he quickly came to a conclusion, "In general, I feel that this dungeon will probably be related to time and space... I just hope that I don't need to face Yog-Sothoth head-on."
The four of them were the first team to enter the B-level dungeon after Yujia was established, which caused quite a lot of fluctuations on various levels.
Han Yuan and the others even spared time to hold a meeting for them. All the members of the Aksha research team, TT purple horse bosses, and the founders of the game "Strictly Forbidden to Collapse" came to the meeting, which can be regarded as the whole army. out.
Mu Jun told them about the specific situation when he passed the B-level dungeon.
"Actually, there is nothing to refer to," Mu Jun said. "The dungeon is called 'The Blue Danube'. It is about the two sieges of Vienna and the glorious Baroque era. I didn't pass it. I only managed to rely on a special card Out."
Mu Jun's card is [Edward Murphy], the inventor of the famous Murphy's Law (Murphy's Law).
Shen Yongle was a little curious: "Isn't Murphy's Law saying that things will get worse and worse? If things have the possibility of getting worse, no matter how small the possibility is, it will always happen."
Mu Jun nodded: "But Changhe and I did some research before entering the dungeon, and felt that this card should be able to use the specific four aspects of the law..."
"Long River" is Tang Yu, the main designer of "Strictly Forbidden to Collapse".
He nodded and said, "Yes, that is: first, everything is not as simple as it seems on the surface; second, everything will take longer than you expected; third, things that can go wrong will always go wrong ; and fourth, if you are worried about something happening, then it is more likely to happen."
The four of Shen Yongle looked at each other and understood instantly.
With these four points alone, many tricks can be used. From this point of view, this is indeed a very powerful item card.
In fact, the ranking of this card in the Aksha Forum is also very high, almost one or two below Shen Yongle's [Aksha].
The item card ranking on the forum is made by Yujia, mainly to help everyone better develop and use the cards in their hands. Players can freely choose to provide their own card information to Yujia, and the professional team of Yujiazhong will analyze it Evaluation, providing various ways of use for reference.
And Yujia will analyze, rank and publicize all the collected item cards.
The specific content of the card and the name of the holder will not be displayed on the leaderboard, and the holder can even refuse to disclose the name of his card, so that others will see a row of asterisks.
Tang Yu shrugged: "In terms of using item cards, you are better than anyone else, so I won't say more."
"But what I want to remind you is," Tang Yu looked at everyone present, "Aksha is best at using what you are good at in reverse."
"So, be vigilant at all times, and don't fall into the pit you dug with your own hands."
A few days later, under the attention of the entire network, the four of them entered this B-level dungeon.
However, as soon as he entered, there was quite a commotion.
Shen Yongle originally turned on the live broadcast in the holographic waiting area, but as soon as he entered the dungeon, the live broadcast was forcibly cut off.
Aksha had previously had dungeons that were not allowed to broadcast live. For example, Shen Yongle and the others experienced an unrated dungeon "Game of Strange Talk" before.
However, this kind of situation is actually not common. Even the amnesia-type copy of "Borgia's Dinner Party" did not forcibly prohibit the live broadcast. It was Shen Yongle and the others who took the initiative to turn off the barrage because they were afraid of collapse.
The most important difference between "Ghost Story Game" and "Borgia's Dinner Party" is that "Ghost Story Game" is a strictly competitive dungeon, that is, in the two groups of teams, one group must win and the other group will lose.
This is what caused many people to panic.
So this dungeon is also forbidden to live broadcast, does it mean that it is also a similar "life and death" type of competitive dungeon?
Four people, Shen Yongle, Mo Jue, Yan Ye, and Lu Fanqi... this must be an S-level terrifying fight, right? !
There was a lot of noise on the forum: [That's over, no one can beat Sir Alex? ! ]
[Grandpa can't be willing to do something to Leshen...]
[Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow...]
Yu Jia also held an emergency meeting to discuss this issue. Tang Yu frowned and shook his head: "Trust them for now. Wasn't it the same situation in 'Cosette' before? They also resolved it perfectly."
Yan Ning frowned: "Send someone to guard the holographic cabin 24 hours a day. If something goes wrong after the dungeon, send it to the emergency room."
Fortunately, Yujia's holographic cabin is equipped with a complete life monitoring system. Once the body is found to be in an abnormal state after leaving the holographic world, it will automatically open the cabin and call the police for help, saving them from having to pry the cabin door...
In any case, the four of them have already entered the dungeon, and everyone can only wait anxiously for the final result.
