my cthulhu game

Chapter 275 Chen Qiang's Final Mission

Qin Yuantu's eyes were far away: "I plan to interfere with the ceremony like Sailor Johansen, or try to get help from Ketanid. If I fail, Cthulhu will be resurrected, and human society in this parallel world will also be destroyed .”

A long silence.

The candle was about to burn out, and the dim candlelight flickered a few times at last.

"Leave this era," Qin Yuantu said, "This parallel world is a ship about to capsize. Get out of here."

"dad!"

Xiaoxue stretched out her hand to Qin Yuantu.

However, Qin Yuantu's image burst like a soap bubble.

Everything disappears.

……

Chen Qiang and others broke away from the image space.Chen Qiang's forehead was slightly sweaty.

From a certain point of view, he did find Qin Yuantu's trace according to the system mission.

but……

"We must find Dad," Qin Lingxue blurted out, "take him back to our safe world."

But this means that we give up the world here, Qin Lingxue thought with some pain.

"Uncle Yuantu..." Qin Yixian shook his head.

Of course he knew that Qin Lingxue's proposal just now was a "wise" choice.

But will Qin Yuantu agree?He has been living in this parallel world for several years.

With Qin Yuantu's character and sense of responsibility... even if it is only a one in ten thousand possibility, he will choose to fight to the end with those lunatics who want to destroy human society.

"..."

Chen Qiang remained silent.

He understood Xiaoxue's thoughts.Of course he can think of ways to take Qin Yuantu away forcibly, but this is only a temporary solution, not the root cause.

"...Is there no choice?"

Staying here, investigating "Silver Twilight" and completely ending their conspiracy is the best and almost the only choice for "Fortress of Sanity" right now.

"Ugh."

Although he possesses "super acceleration" and "other gods", which are terrifying powers even in mythical biological clocks, Chen Qiang still feels a little powerless.

Even if this time can help the world get rid of the crisis, one day, "the time when the stars return to their place" will come again; Cthulhu, Hastur or other horrible gods will eventually recover and destroy human civilization indiscriminately.

"Ugh."

From a certain point of view, human civilization can survive until now, relying not on real power, but on luck like "the brave Captain Johnson accidentally interfered with the ceremony and smashed Cthulhu".

"It's always like this." Chen Qiang sighed.

The lives of mortal creatures are always limited; but the gods, no matter how absurd and beset with difficulties, their eternal existence extends infinitely at the end of time.

"Finite" cannot compete with "infinite".

Humans who have only one life and will die if they are killed VS the old dominator who is always resurrected and can continue indefinitely...

This game is not playable at all...

No matter how strong the "fortress of reason" is, one day, Chen Qiang will no longer be able to protect people's reason.

[Mission: Find Qin Yuantu under the threat of Cthulhu, the Lord of Raliyah, completed]

[Campaign "Arkham Gods" has been completed]

【Complete the campaign module for the first time】

[Now, you can choose to receive rewards normally, or you have another option, to accept the "special trial mission". 】

【Accepting special trial tasks will not be able to receive rewards immediately, but the rewards will increase accordingly after completion. 】

[There is only one chance to smash the veil again]

【Whether to accept? YES/NO]

Chen Qiang was stunned.

This is the first time he has completed the "campaign", but the reward he received is also slightly different from what he imagined...

"A mere 'power'."

When activating the system for the first time, it also pretended to give YES/NO in this way.

"Obviously the 'system' already knows the answer," Chen Qiang said as if talking to himself, "but it's still unnecessary to ask."

"I choose YES."

[Complete all missions in the mission hall, remaining: 1 (recruited 300 players for the "Eternal War" game)]

【分别前往20世纪、21世纪、30世纪（可意识前往）的南纬27度，西经109度（南太平洋海域）巡游，剩余：3】

[In the 20th century, at 27 degrees south latitude and 109 degrees west longitude (South Pacific Ocean), accept the test of the outer gods]

【Complete all tasks to activate the final reward】

Chen Qiang smiled.

He didn't know what was at 27 degrees south latitude and 109 degrees west longitude, but he had the impression that this was not the latitude and longitude of Raleye...

"How long until the portal is completed?" Chen Qiang asked after leaving the room.

……

After a while.

30st century.

27 degrees south latitude, 109 degrees west longitude——

In the endless waves, there is a lonely island.

It has been several months since the "Eternal War" broke out.The Migos' attacks from the Pluto circle made the human troops shrink their defenses again and again, gradually consuming the human's vitality.

And on the Earth itself, facing the army of deep divers using "biological mechs", the entire Pacific Ocean has become a hellish front line.Under the desperate resistance of countless human soldiers, the troops of the deep divers were tightly compressed around R'lyeh.

Humanity's frontline headquarters is located here.

With the help of the "Fortress of Sanity" and the friendly mythical race, human beings successfully assimilated the ancient ruins on the island and the "Dreamland", creating a natural supernatural barrier to resist enemy attacks.

In the northeast of the island, a beautiful honey-colored agate castle stands on the hills of the island.This was built by the residents of the Dreamland to imitate the castle of the dream gods for the leader of the "Fortress of Sanity". Although it is not as strong as the real residence of the gods, it is also difficult for ordinary creatures to destroy.

The heroine Ocia Syndor walked out of the castle.In recent days, in order to boost morale, Chen Qiang, the general boss of the "Fortress of Sanity", who has seen the dragon from head to tail, has been in the castle to encourage the human soldiers who are fighting bloody battles.

"Ok?"

A slightly younger Chen Qiang passed her by.

"Wrong, wrong." Ossia Syndor felt incredible.

With the security of this castle, it is impossible for suspicious people to sneak in...

……

The future Chen Qiang—in Lao Chen's room.

This is a room decorated like a medieval castle bedroom.There are ancient swords hanging on the wall, and a brown fox is lying on the window sill, playing with a crystal test tube containing a mercury column with its claws with incredible dexterity.

"I thought it was a dangerous place, but who knows it is a tourist attraction in the 21st century..." Chen Qiang muttered, "Easter Island."

He still doesn't know the purpose of the system asking him to visit "Easter Island".

Thousands of strange half-length stone statues with human faces stand on this island, gazing at the endless sea in the distance, as if in thought.

"You are finally willing to come again."

Old Chen looked at Chen Qiang in front of him with satisfaction.

"How about the reinforcements?"

"The first batch of 'guests from the past' will arrive soon," Chen Qiang said, which is also part of the system mission. "As I said before, I will do my best to support this world. But this time, I have other questions to ask you."

Old Chen nodded.

"Go down, Helian." He said to the fox on the windowsill.

The fox let out a few chirps of dissatisfaction, but left obediently, still holding the wonderful silver test tube in his hand.

　Under normal circumstances, Chen Qiang and Lao Chen cannot communicate face to face. Here, the feature of the fantasy-like Easter Island under the influence of a certain god, or enchantment, is used. PS: It is difficult for the author to write a complete module with introduction-investigation-results due to his not-so-optimistic physical condition. Consider a carnival-style broadcast at the end.
