Chapter 3250: The Shadow of Faraines (Twenty-One)
Chapter 3224 The Gloom of Faraines (Twenty-one)
Naya's silence revealed surprise.
This is an emotion that can be felt without psychoanalysis. He did not seem to have thought that Schiller would choose him.
But followed by a feeling of joy. Schiller was even disturbed by his emotion. He sighed and said, "I advise you not to be happy too early. Although I am not the kind of person who borrows money and does not pay it back, whether I can pay it back is another matter."
"Okay." Naaya said, "My conditions are actually very simple. I put a box deep in the underground cave. I hope you can help me find it."
"... Is it that simple?" Schiller's tone was full of doubt.
"Your request is not difficult to fulfill." Naiya said in a seemingly fair manner: "It does not necessarily drive people crazy. Even if you read it with a resistance mentality, nothing may happen. Otherwise, how did those crazy people in Arkham study the spell?"
Schiller's mind moved, and he asked: "Is there Arkham in this universe? Is there Miskatonic University?"
"Maybe, but it's far away from here."
Naya gave an ambiguous answer, but Schiller felt that this might be an important clue.
Because he remembered that the famous University of Michigan is located in Massachusetts, and the distribution range of the Siltek family's insurance business is Connecticut and Massachusetts. Is this a coincidence?
Connecticut and Massachusetts are both located in the northeastern United States. They are two adjacent states. The border area between the two is very large, and it can be said that they belong to the same region.
These two states are not very noticeable because of their small area, but they have one thing in common, that is, very good educational resources. One has Yale University, the other has MIT, and there are many famous universities in addition.
The town of Arkham, where Miskatonic University, the most famous fictional university in the Cthulhu mythology system, is located, is located in Massachusetts.
Combined with the climate conditions of Faraines, Schiller can probably judge that this small village should also be located in the northeastern United States and is also by the sea. Even if it is not in these two states, it will not be too far away, possibly in southern Maine or northern New Jersey.
Schiller does not think this is a coincidence. Since they are placed so close to Miskatonic University, there should be a map that can be explored, but Arkham Town is not peaceful. With Schiller's current level of knowledge, it would be a death sentence if he went there.
Could Naya be trying to seduce him to go there?
Schiller certainly would not be so easily fooled, so he also wanted to see the legendary Miskatonic University, but now it is obvious that no conditions are mature. When it is difficult to deal with a deep diver, it is too early to compete with the legendary investigators.
"Okay, I promise you." Schiller said, "You know this won't be the last deal."
"Don't worry, you won't die easily."
As Naya's voice fell, Schiller felt a shadow covering his vision, his mind became very clear, and the cover of the Water God's Book in his hand showed a bizarre color.
Schiller opened the book. Latin reading was a little difficult for him, but after all, he had the skill and quickly understood the content.
In fact, it is better to say that this is a travel book than a spell book. It records all kinds of strange stories about rivers and lakes. It is very good from a literary perspective.
But whenever it introduces the gods and monsters that may exist in these water systems, the introduction will become very detailed, and there are some hand-painted pictures, and there will be a lot of spells and texts below.
These things make people dizzy at a glance. Schiller felt that the shadow in front of his eyes was gradually fading. He understood that this was too much taboo knowledge that was impacting the barrier that Naya gave him, and he hurriedly turned back.
Although the contents of the book did not cause him any real harm, he still remembered almost all the names and spells. Although many of them were what he had known before, if he knew them again in this world, he would have a legitimate reason to share information with other teammates. His teammates were Batman, which was very important.
Schiller quickly finished reading the whole book and successfully found a distorted five-pointed star-like pattern on the penultimate page of the book. This was the legendary famous old seal.
In Schiller's vision, this pattern exuded a soft light that was completely different from the whole book. There was neither the frivolous color change nor the terrifying shadow. Just looking at it was refreshing.
Schiller put his hand gently on it.
Suddenly he felt a pain in his palm. When he took it back, there were some intermittent ink marks on his palm. Although it also emitted light, it was a little weak and seemed to be only usable once or twice.
But this is also good news. It means that Schiller will not be eroded by forbidden knowledge in a short time, nor will his mental health value drop because of seeing something distorted.
The old seal on the book still glowed, but Schiller didn't dare to move. Although he thought he could draw power from it again, it would be even more troublesome if the old seal lost its power and the book escaped.
Although this book has no arms or legs, it is a living thing that Naya has personally certified. This cursed thing has many ways to bring you bad luck, so that it can fall on a more careless person and spread this forbidden and filthy knowledge.
The previous owner of this book was probably a cultist who preached crazily, otherwise he would not have devoted his body and soul to this book.
After getting what he wanted, Schiller closed the book, put the book and the Bible in his arms, and walked towards the street again.
Batman came back at the right time and happened to meet Schiller who was walking out. He was holding something in his hand, which was obviously what he had prepared.
"I made some homemade gasoline bombs, and used the flour in the kitchen of a house not far away to make a dust explosion device and an igniter. In addition, I want to go back to the lighthouse and improve the electric shock device made by the Joker, which should be useful."
The two returned to the lighthouse together. This time there was no need to cover their whereabouts. They found a car on the side of the road, put the things on it, and drove towards the lighthouse.
There were also deep divers blocking the road, but Batman had good driving skills and left them all behind. It didn't take long for them to reach the lighthouse.
The two of them made some last supplies here. They ate some food first and treated their wounds. Batman improved the electric shock device made by the Joker and made two simple electric batons, one of which he gave to Schiller.
Schiller actually didn't want to use such a dangerous weapon. This thing looked like a detonator in his hand, ready to explode at any time.
But he had to admit that the lethality of electric current to carbon-based creatures was too great. If he used this thing to electrocute the deep divers, he would be electrocuted to his knees. If it weren't for the poor power storage capacity, he could have killed seven in and seven out of the ship.
Before they set off for the dock, Schiller gave Batman the cross necklace he found in the old Siltek safe. He said: "This thing should have the effect of resisting mental pollution, but it is not used many times, so it's best not to take risks."
Please Collect it_ (Six \\\ nine \\\ Books \\\ Bar!)
Batman didn't say anything polite to him, and didn't ask any stupid questions like "what are you going to do", because he knew that Schiller gave him this thing, and he must have other ways.
Neither of them is the kind of person who would sacrifice himself for others at any time. Even if Batman is a good person, he knows his importance and will not make meaningless moves to block the knife. Schiller is naturally the same.
Having such a teammate is really worry-free. Both of them think so. There is no need to explain anything. Just move towards the goal.
They headed towards the dock from a path on the southeast side of the lighthouse and encountered two or three waves of patrolling deep divers on the way.
But this kind of creature with two feet on the ground obviously prefers to walk on the road built by humans rather than shuttle through the woods, so Batman and Schiller walking in the woods were not discovered.
The sun was shining at this time, but the dock was shrouded in a thick fog. It can be said that there was no sunlight. Compared with the previous night, it was only slightly brighter, and the visibility was still very poor.
Schiller and Batman climbed over the fence of the dock and, with the cover of the goods piled on the dock, touched the pier near the first large ship.
There was a guard at the entrance of the ship, and Schiller was a little hesitant about whether to kill him, because he was not sure how many people were in the ship. If they went over to drag the people away, it would alert the deep divers inside, which might cause big trouble.
But Batman had already squatted down and was ready to go, so Schiller could only follow him.
The moment the deep divers turned around, Batman grabbed his throat beautifully and dragged him directly to the stern of the ship. With a force of his arm, he broke the deep divers' neck.
Schiller dragged the body to the side and threw it into the sea.
He didn't know whether the deep divers would be resurrected after returning to the sea, but obviously the body couldn't be thrown here. After all, if a patrol came, they would know that there was an intruder.
At this time, Batman had quietly walked to the door and waved to Schiller. Schiller raised his eyebrows and gave him a look, and Batman nodded.
It was high tide, and the ship was floating higher, which allowed them to enter directly from the lower loading area instead of the most heavily guarded deck. The two entered the door carefully.
After entering, it was pitch black. Schiller put on night vision goggles. Batman didn't wear any equipment, but walked calmly.
Schiller finally couldn't help it. He whispered, "How did you do it? Turn on the perspective?"
Batman turned back and gave him a slightly puzzled look.
Schiller remembered that Batman seemed to have maxed out his psychoanalysis skills, and his mental state was very bad now, which meant that he was in full firepower mode, and Arrogance might be guiding him next to him, which was equivalent to turning on the perspective, wasn't it?
Thinking of this, Schiller was relieved. He didn't care who went crazy, as long as it wasn't him.
While moving forward in the dark, Schiller couldn't help but start thinking. Naya actually put his own things deep in the cave. Did he add the plot when the Transcendence was away?
What would be in the box?
I had barbecue today, it was delicious
