Chapter 96 "The Sacrifice of Cthulhu"

After watching the video, Zhou Ze hid the high-level spirit stone in his bedroom closet and began to breathe, setting an alarm clock for [-] hours later.

Calculated according to the time, in less than thirty hours, he could directly transform back into his original body without consuming meritorious deeds.

A day and a half was spent leisurely in breathing...

By noon on the third day, he finally returned to his normal form.

Taking out a few spiritual fruits from the secret realm and eating them to satisfy his hunger, Zhou Ze opened WeChat to check for new news.

There was no message from Li Xiaoming, probably because the test was not over yet.

Wen Siliu sent a message inviting him to have dinner at the hotel, and said that Zhou Ze would let her know if he was free, and she would accompany him anytime.

Finally, it was Lu Chujun's side. She sent a message yesterday, and the content was very brief: "Uncle, I'm fine, but I don't think I can go back in two days. Wait for me." '

"That little girl doesn't know what's going on..."

Zhou Ze was thoughtful: "The news sent is quite standard. Even if others see it, they will only think that I am a familiar friend of hers, and they will not think that I am a mysterious knight."

Turn on the TV and tune to the news station, and the program does not happen to broadcast such news.

He went back to the bedroom and turned on the computer, searched for the three words Lu Chujun, and soon a lot of web links and encyclopedia entries popped up.

'Man of Destiny', 'Cultivator', 'Reserve of Mysterious Organization', 'National Fairy'...

It was almost the same as when the Mysterious Knight first appeared. The entire Internet exploded with people discussing "The Destiny Guide" and Lu Chujun's voice. She was also given many weird titles. Her popularity was unprecedented. .

The country did not block the news this time, but spared no effort to report on Lu Chujun's desperation to stop the demon, and admitted in disguise that if the demon with devouring ability escapes, it will cause a great disaster that the country cannot deal with .

However, there was no mention of things such as breathing techniques, spiritual fruits and stones, and secret strategies of immortal techniques.

Nine times out of ten, the state agency took away the secret research.

Zhou Ze quickly found the video of Lu Chujun being interviewed by the news yesterday, watched it for a while, and after confirming that the girl's complexion had returned to normal, he turned off the computer with a slight smile.

This is where Destiny Leads the Way comes to an end.

"Time to play a new game."

Zhou Ze sat down on the sofa and opened the game box casually.

Since he got the world game, his daily life has become constantly playing games + being played by games. The plot of each game is different, but it feels a little boring after a long time.

Life is like an endless cycle of tossing and turning.

However, the honor, growth, and treasures he gained during this period are beyond doubt.

The whole world is saved, led, and sheltered by him.

In addition, I also met friends such as Lu Chujun, Wen Siliu, and Li Xiaoming. In the future, I may develop more intricate interpersonal relationships. Gradually, I will no longer just stay at home and play games, and my life will become rich and colorful...

What changes will society face after the introduction of cultivation methods?
How should human civilization respond to the resurgence of the Old Ones?

What kind of development track will the earth embark on after the spiritual energy is revived?
And what is the 'big world' that the world game has not yet unlocked?
He was curious.

I also feel that I have a responsibility on my shoulders...

And these curiosity and responsibility are the driving force for him to move forward.

'Small world, big difference. '

The ethereal boot sound woke him up from his reverie.

The game cover of "Rite of Cthulhu" is very depressing. It is a contrasting screenshot of the sea.

There is a large cruise ship floating on the calm and sunny sea, and in the darkness deep under the sea lurks a giant monster more than ten times larger than the cruise ship. It is stretching out dark green tentacles towards the bottom of the cruise ship, as if it is about to kill the ship. The ship is dragged into the deep sea...

Blood sacrifice?

These cult lunatics are really old-fashioned.

The corner of Zhou Ze's mouth twitched, but he couldn't laugh.

It would be fine if those cult guys were all spontaneous organizations.

But the problem is that he is still not sure whether the group of guys who believe in the old rulers are voluntary. Maybe, like others, they have been brainwashed by the old whispers and become crazy believers?
The results may be the same, but the essence is completely different.

In any case, they must prevent them from performing blood sacrifices to awaken Cthulhu, otherwise the world may really be completely destroyed!

"Three exclusive prizes for clearing the level, and up to 600 meritorious service. The game is difficult, and the rewards are indeed generous."

He understands 2-star skills, but he doesn't quite understand what a flawless holy artifact is.

The dress of the night and the twilight hat both sound like suits, and they must be worn on the body to have an effect. As for the effect, you can only know after entering the game.

The title 'The One Who Sleeps In The Old One' sounds very deep. If he can successfully complete this game and prevent Cthulhu from recovering, then he really deserves this title... Let the old days sleep forever!

"Although I have learned about some Cthulhu elements before, I still have to read the specific information carefully."

Before starting to play, Zhou Ze took out his mobile phone and searched for the word 'Cthulhu'.

The information on the encyclopedia is very comprehensive.

The main representative is: the Cthulhu myth created by the novelist Howard.

Cthulhu's full name is 'Great Cthulhu', 'Sleeping God', 'Lord of R'lyye', and it is one of the existences that symbolizes "water" in the elemental theory of mythology.In the Book of Eibon it is known as Ketuart.

Cthulhu is said to be a giant creature with the head of an octopus, a human body with green scales, and bat wings on its back.

However, there are also sayings that the existence of the Old Ones is indescribable. Mortals will lose their minds and go crazy just by taking a glance at them. No one can see the full picture of the Old Ones with their own eyes, so it is impossible to record their true appearance.

The more I search, the more I feel that these Cthulhu myths on the Internet are so mysterious.

"The myth of Cthulhu circulating today may be related to these evil gods in reality, but it is estimated that they are unlikely to be exactly the same. If those old rulers and ancient gods are really as invincible as recorded in the mythology settings, Human civilization is still playing around, and once a thing that can’t be wiped out by a round of nuclear leveling wakes up, it will be like the end of the world.”

Zhou Ze rubbed his forehead and muttered to himself: "Perhaps the people who created the Cthulhu myth were influenced by the whispers of the past, so part of the myth fits so well with reality."

But myths are myths after all.

Any myth is bound to be exaggerated.

In layman's terms, it is bragging.

The more awesome it is, the more hype it is, the more people are willing to watch it.

As long as there are not many existences in a myth that can destroy the world, it is embarrassing to say that it describes a myth system. Since it is a god, it is naturally a powerful living body shaped by human imagination. The more invincible the more attractive People's attention, widely circulated.

But even if it is not as invincible as in the novel, the strength of the Old One should not be underestimated.

In the world game, it is clearly written: 'If the old evil gods wake up, human civilization is at stake'.

What the 2-star+ game needs to do this time is to destroy the blood sacrifice and prevent Cthulhu from recovering early...or in other words, to delay the time for him to wake up.
