How many character cards do you have?

Acton managed to escape Akutagawa Ryunosuke's pursuit and returned to the underground waterway.

At this time, the data seen by the system finally calmed down, and Karasawa Taki's sanity value finally maintained at 21 points after various ups and downs.

Dropped 3 points, but seems acceptable.

The system finally breathed a sigh of relief, seeing that Acton's mental state seemed to have calmed down again, and tentatively asked 【Are you okay? 】

'Um?I am fine. ' Acton replied, and then asked casually, 'The character card you prepared...'

【Um? 】

'Are they real people? '

【Why do you ask that? 】

"Memories that don't belong to me appeared in my mind just now," Acton said, "I don't have a sister, but just now I saw memories about her, and her death. '

【You mean you saw the past of this character card? ] The system froze, 【This kind of thing has never happened before. 】

'You don't know either?Isn't the character card prepared by you? ' Acton wondered.

【No... This kind of thing that can rewrite reality is provided by the evil god. We are only responsible for making the body described on the character card. 】The system said, 【At first we were also surprised that the character background written on the character card can even affect reality, of course the premise is that the history of this world cannot be changed. 】

Acton thought for a while: "What if someone fills up all attributes and skill points?" '

The system is silent [Someone tried this, but the body made...is not human. 】

'What about approaching the limit value? ’ Acton looked curious as if he was a jerk.

[Yes, but it’s useless,] The system’s voice is calm, [In the end, he lost three times in one battle and tore the card. The more outrageous the value, the easier it is to fail. I don’t know why...]

Fine.

In the end, Acton couldn't get the answer he wanted, which may be related to his inspiration. The system didn't seem to want to say too much about the character card provided by the evil god.

The current information can only know that the so-called character card is provided by the evil god. As long as the character information is written on it, the reality can be rewritten, and there will be an extra person in this world out of thin air. It was found that the system is responsible for providing the body, and the player controls the character to play the game.

Acton didn't ask any further questions for the time being, and lowered his head to look at his injury again.

I didn't know if it was because of the adrenal hormones. He didn't feel any pain during the whole battle. It wasn't until now that he realized that he had been poked several holes in his body.

The blood soaked through the clothes on his body, and some of them were still stuck. He walked all the way and dragged the blood all over the floor. Fortunately, the sewer was so muddy that it was not obvious.

He glanced at his character card, hp, that is, he had 7 points of blood left, and he almost had to go into a coma judgment when his blood was more than half.

Needing emergency help, Acton randomly chose a barely clean place to sit down, and then began to try to bribe the system.

'System, give me a bonus dice, I don't have first aid for this card. '

【...It would be fine if I didn't give you a penalty dice, in this environment. 】

The reality is that this is not good.

If it was in the game, after finally defeating the big boss, it would be a smooth road afterwards, but the reality is that now Acton's biggest enemy has become the risk of blood loss and bacterial infection.

Two penetrating injuries to the shoulder and abdomen. The good news is that no internal organs were injured. The bad news is that the blood seems to have no tendency to stop by itself.

Acton has already shown some blood loss symptoms, his eyes are black, his thinking is slow, and his limbs are weak. If he does not give first aid, he will die of massive blood loss if he does not die in Akutagawa's hands.

'Early death and late death are death, fight hard. '

First Aid: Failed

This character card has no first aid related knowledge, 30 points are the initial value, he exchanged the remaining points for a simple medical kit in the mall, wrapped himself in a bandage, but failed, the bleeding did not stop .

There are three wounds, and there are two opportunities for first aid.

Second aid.

First Aid: Failed

"The system..." Acton looked pitiful.

System [... You take some disinfectant alcohol. 】

Acton immediately understood the hint, and disinfected his wound and bandages.

[A bonus dice. 】When the system said this, it felt like it had deeply violated its conscience.

ordinary success

The bleeding finally stopped.

Acton breathed a sigh of relief.

At this time, there was a sudden rustling sound not far away, and then a pitch-black semi-liquid tentacle emerged from the corner.

Repair probe.jpg

Acton was instantly annoyed: "You still know how to come back?"

Xiuji:?

Acton is not worried about whether Shoggoths will not understand. Creatures like Shoggoths are actually not low in IQ, and they are extremely rebellious. Even if a bad person occupies a high position, they may be overthrown by them, such as Didn't the ancients who created them get kicked off the throne by the Shoggoth uprising?

Of course, he has no plans to drive the Shoggoth for a long time, and he doesn't have to worry about overturning the car for the time being.

With Shoggoth on the side, at least Acton didn't have to worry about being chased by Mafia's people, but he didn't relax completely. First aid is only a means of emergency treatment. If it can't be treated in time, the wound may still deteriorate, especially In this environment full of bacteria.

Of course, it is impossible to go to the hospital, and it is very likely that you will be blocked when you go outside.

'Let me see what healing spells are available in the mall. '

The system quickly listed the directory, all of which recorded ancient books about healing techniques, and dutifully popularized science.

[Spells can only be read and learned from ancient books. There are two ways to master magic. The first is to learn by yourself. The advantage of this is that you can use it no matter which character card you equip. It is the most cost-effective, but the learning cycle may be very long It is long and there is a risk of not being able to learn it. The second is to use dice, roll according to the procedures in the running group rules, and check the intelligence and willpower of the current character card in turn. After rolling the character card, magic will be mastered automatically, and only the character card If you use it, you need to learn magic again if you change the character card. 】

[I recommend this one the most. It is a note made by my last host. Although there is only one spell, the healing method, it contains detailed spellcasting experience, and it is very cheap. It only needs 3 San points. 】

Perhaps knowing the urgency of the situation, the system tried to briefly explain [Let’s roll the dice at this time, as long as you succeed, you can learn it within an hour, which is the most cost-effective. 】

Acton glanced at the exchange notes, without raising his head, he said: "It's too slow. '

system:?

Acton found that the notes contained detailed key points for learning magic, which were very simple and clear.

Very good, easier to understand than he imagined.

In the world view of the running group, the aptitude to learn magic is about equal to will, and whether it is Karasawa Taki's body or this character card, the attribute of will is not low.

therefore……

Two 10 minutes passed.

When Acton began to chant the mantra, the system couldn't help but tense up.

Not passing the dice means that Acton, no, Karasawa Taki, who is the main body, learned to release by himself, and I don't know the result.

Seeing the white warm light shine from Acton's hand.

Healing technique, one-time success.

As the warm light permeated the whole body, the bleeding wound under the bandage gradually healed, the pain eased, and the wound was a little itchy. Acton took off the bandage and saw that there was only a scar that was almost scarred on the skin.

When the hp is full, the san value of the character card is still 0.

The most important thing is the san value of Karasawa Taki's body...

All the spells in the restraint world are taboo knowledge.

In other words, the process of using them and learning them is walking into the abyss.

San: 21

Seeing this, the system gradually relaxed its tense nerves, and said with a sense of regret [I really don't need to pay san value...]

The problem that has plagued so many hosts in the past is so self-defeating.

In this world that is gradually going crazy, it is hard to say what kind of shock this blackjack rationality has brought to the system.

This is probably a miracle that cannot be replicated a second time.

"Magic is really miraculous." Acton touched his healed scar, quite novel. After removing the side effect of losing san, the price-performance ratio of magic in the restraint world soared again in his eyes.

Although only character cards with a san value of 0 can be used at will, it's not bad.

This world is indeed very dangerous. If you encounter a powerful person with supernatural powers again, your luck will not be as good as it is today, so the necessary strengthening is also needed.

The system told him before that his san value points had risen to 31 points again, minus the 7 points spent on the shock bombs and flash bombs exchanged from the system mall, there were still 24 points left, and he had to carefully consider how to allocate them.

Acton opened the system mall.

The magic in the mall is not listed one by one like in the Spell Encyclopedia. Instead, it lists many books, such as "Necronomicon" and "Book of Eibon". There are many different versions, and of course the exchange prices are also different. Before Acton read the list, a book appeared in front of him.

The Rituals of Resuscitation (Reedited Edition by Miskatonic University)

The exchange points for this ancient book are 20 points, and if you exchange this book, there are only 4 points left.

【Trust me...it's worth the money. 】The system said.

Acton raised his eyebrows and confirmed the exchange. Soon, an ancient book appeared in Acton's hands out of thin air.

System explanation [Same as before, there is no way to teach spells directly, I can only confirm that this book contains what you want, but the learning process is unavoidable, and the side effects are the same as in the running group...]

Acton quickly realized: "During the reading session, knowledge of Cthulhu Mythos will be increased, and the upper limit of San will also be lost?" '

The system didn't say anything, it's the default, this is the second test, since using magic won't drop the san value, will reading ancient texts drop the upper limit value?

Acton opened the book with great interest and glanced at it. Fortunately, the language used in this book is English, which is the mother tongue of this character card. Otherwise, it would be difficult to deal with other messy languages.

The book is not thick, but it seems that it will take some time to read. Acton opened the foreword and saw such a paragraph written on it.

This book is not the original version, and some dangerous content has been removed. Even so, it is still not recommended for beginners to read. If you are trying to find a way to communicate evil with malicious intentions, you will undoubtedly be disappointed, because there is something about sacrifices in it. Everything was cut out, and we rewrote the book in the hope that it might one day be useful in the fight against evil.

Acton looked towards the end of the foreword, the name of the editor.

— Randolph Carter

'Wow. ’ Acton let out a small exclamation, ‘Really? '

[Of course, since the world of the restraint system is real. 】The tone of the system seems to contain a bit of complexity of unknown meaning,

Acton turned over a few pages with great interest, and found that there were notes and some notes on it: "This is also left by your previous host?" '

[Well, I think the notes are useful so I keep them, of course you can also choose to remove them. 】

Acton was flipping through the magic book in his hand. There are indeed many spells recorded in it, but unfortunately most of them are small magics that are not very powerful or expensive, but they can be used in a wide range of ways, very suitable for investigators to use... ...Eh, wait a minute.

Acton's eyes suddenly stopped on one of the spells, he pondered for two seconds, and suddenly asked: "Is the new character card ready to be made?" '

【Eh?Ah, it is possible, but isn't your card still usable? 】

"Hmm..." Acton smiled as he looked at the spells in the book, "Sure enough... a countermeasure is still needed. '

soul splitting

Consumption: 10 mp (mana), 1~7 sanity and 1 liter of human blood

Effect: The split soul enters another body. If the parasitic body originally has a soul, a will test is required to fight it. The magic takes effect for one natural month. After the time is over, the split soul will return to the original body again.
