Cthulhu Corrosion: Another World Rescue Plan

"That NPC is too unplayable!"

"It's just that, just halfway through the game, he ran away with the project!"

Amid the complaints from the players, Mo Yu took the project card handed over by Rama. There were a bunch of golden treasures drawn on the card. He raised his eyebrows. This was the first card he had received that was related to the project. Project cards unrelated to Tarot and Arcana.

The cards currently recovered by Mo Yu from players include the Hanged Man, the Magician, and this treasure card. The 13 project cards have not yet been collected, and he still does not know what the puzzles hidden in the cards are, but these cards have already caused him some doubts.

Ozelia is a parallel world that is similar to the original world but has many differences. Although the Arcana cards here are very similar to the Tarot cards, they also have many differences.

As far as Mo Yu knows, the Tarot cards of the original world are a pair of cards that have been mixed with the cultures and myths of different religions over many years of evolution to represent all things in the world, which contain the sun, moon, stars and other natural elements. Creation also has religious-related cards such as Pope, Temperance, Demon, Tower, etc., as well as the Hanged Man card that incorporates the legend of Odin from Nordic mythology...

These religious myths are unheard of in Ozelia continent.

More importantly, there is no moon in this world.

The word "moon" here does not refer to a satellite that revolves around Ozelia and can reflect sunlight, but a fluorescent grass that blooms every thirty days.

Even in Leah's translation, the customary expression "month" is still used to refer to the month, but in the language of Ozelia, it refers to the flowering cycle of this fluorescent grass, not the waxing and waning of the moon. The time it takes to orbit the Earth.

This was what Mo Yu asked Leah when he heard the name of the mount, 'Quanqi'. In the language of Ozelia, the Qinqi actually refers to a fluorescent horse-shaped creature.

Therefore, in the Arcana cards of this world, the moon became a dragon, and the Hanged Man card, which meant hanging Odin upside down, became a sacrifice card.

But there is no counterpart to the pattern of treasure in either the Tarot or the Arcana.

"Sacrifice, magician, treasure..." Just as Mo Yu was thinking, another group of players brought a new trophy. This time it was a card depicting the turbulent waves of the sea, which also did not belong to Tarot. Cards or any of the Arcana cards.

"We got this in the underwater survival game in the aquarium." The players on the team were still dripping wet. "It's so fun to turn into an octopus and chase each other under the sea!"

Mo Yu curled his lips and showed a gentle smile to the players: "Just have fun."

After sending the players away, he called several NPCs except the dwarves to his side and showed them the cards in his hands: "What do you think this means?"

Xiang Yang, the only professional who corresponds to the divination profession, took the cards and shook his head: "It's not the Arcana card. This is the only card that looks like a magician simply based on the drowned man's attire, but based on the pattern, From the looks of it, if you don’t have any preconceptions, it’s okay to interpret it as drowning or death.”

Xiang Yang thought for a while and then said: "The Arcana card is a card that encompasses everything in the world. Its direct imagery and extended meaning can encompass almost everything in the world. Therefore, it is normal for similar elements to appear in other things."

Mo Yu understood what he meant. For example, the world can refer to Leah, world consciousness, or everything in the world. It is also the last card of Arcana, but the elements and meanings overlap. .

"So, what would include sacrifices (or hanging men), magicians (or drowned ghosts), oceans, and treasures at the same time?" Mo Yu murmured to himself.

Everyone was confused, Rama said: "Perhaps, the puzzle is not hidden in the cards, but will be displayed after collecting 13 cards? There are 22 items in this amusement park, right, and as long as you randomly collect them Can the puzzle be unlocked by playing 13 cards?”

"It's possible." Mo Yu nodded, "But I always feel that there is some connection between these cards."

"Perhaps..." Ialien pondered for a moment and divided the cards into several piles: "Do these cards refer to authority?"

His slender fingers pointed at the ocean: "The ocean is under the authority of nature and is currently owned by the God of Raging Waves and Ice and Snow."

His finger moved to another card: "Treasure, or luck and wealth, is one of the powers belonging to fate and is controlled by the goddess of fate, Janus."

"What about the magician?" Rama also thought along this line of thinking: "If it is a magician, or based on what the adventurer said about the game content, it is a counter-killing show that uses and defies fate, then it should also be fate. Category... But if it refers to the drowned ghost, it is the category of the God of Raging Waves."

"I think the meaning of these cards may also be related to the project itself." Xiang Yang said, "This magician may actually mean the 'variable' of fate, that is, the power of the goddess of fate."

"If you follow this line of thinking, you can guess one life for one guessing opportunity. It can be a sacrifice or a price or an exchange. This is the domain of the Demon Lord." Rama said.
