" I think that the human mind lacks the ability to connect known things. This is the kindest thing in the world. Humans lived on a small island called Ignorance in the dark ocean. The ocean was vast and contained endless secrets, but we should not sail too far and explore too deeply.”
- LOVKraft, Cthulhu's Call
In all the books that depicted the Cthulhu Divine System, there was a common theme: In the universe, the value of humans was meaningless, no matter how much humans praised life.
In front of a universe that was 4.6 billion years old.
In front of the 14 billion year old Milky Way.
In front of the vast universe, they were incomparably small.
Mankind's search for all the mysteries and unknowns would lead to disaster.
Just like how humans searched for those indescribable things, death and madness would be their final outcome.
Naoko Ogawa, who was frightened by Makoto Miyagu, ran home.
Then, she began to rummage through the cabinets to find something.
"I remember that my father left something here. He said that it was a taboo book that could not be touched. If it's that book, it will definitely help me!”
"That person must know that I framed Under the Snow. Damn it, it's been seven days, why isn't Under the Snow dead yet? If that person tells Under the Snow that I framed Under the Snow, I'll definitely be killed by the Under the Snow family!”
"Even if I have to go to prison, I'll play. No, I don't want to die, and I don't want to go to prison!”
"If it was that book, it would definitely give me power. Even if it was a forbidden power, it would definitely be better than this!”
"Found it! This is it!"
After searching for a long time, Naoko Ogawa finally found a secret compartment in the house based on her childhood memories. She pried open the floor tiles and took out a book wrapped in a scarlet cloth.
Just as she was looking at the book with a relieved smile, a voice suddenly sounded from the window.
"This is what contaminated your body with Cthulhu's aura.”
Hearing this, Naoko Ogawa's pupils constricted as she turned her head stiffly towards the source of the voice.
While he was frantically searching for something, Makoto Miyagu was already leaning against the window and watching her silently.
"You…you, how did you get in! Are you a human or a ghost?!"
Naoko Ogawa shouted as she pointed at the shrine in horror.
"How did I get in? Of course, I asked some cute little things for help!”
Makoto Miyagu said expressionlessly. After obtaining the Druid's Heart, he had the ability to communicate with any animal. The lower the intelligence of the animal, the easier it was for him to control it.
He first tamed a swift through communication and let it follow behind Naoko Ogawa. Then, he exchanged a piece of bread for the trust of a little white cat and let her enter Naoko Ogawa's house to open the door for him.
Hence, he swaggered into Naoko Ogawa's house and watched her silently until she found the item.
"What are you trying to do!"
Holding the book in her arms, Naoko Ogawa kept retreating.
However, her weak struggle was useless. Makoto Miyagu walked directly to her.
"Don't come over. If you come over again, I'll scream!”
Seeing the approaching Seigo Ogawa Naoko, her voice became more and more frightened, and even her expression became a little ferocious.
"Qiang!"
A cold light flashed, and Makoto Miyagu pulled out his katana and placed it on her neck.
Feeling the bone-piercing cold blade on her neck, Ogawa Naoko was sure that it was a real blade in an instant.
He will really kill me!
Naoko Ogawa thought in horror. The sorrowful cry that was about to come out of her mouth due to fear was instantly suppressed in her throat, and she did not dare to make any more sounds.
Ignoring her trembling body from fear, Makoto Jingu reached out and took the book wrapped in red cloth from her arms.
The moment Makoto Miyagu's hand touched the red cloth, a system notification sounded.
[Notification: You have come into contact with the Curse Book of the Cthulhu Divine System," The King of Yellow Clothes ". This version is the French version. The book records ambiguous and dreamlike plays. Be it readers, actors, or audiences, they will gradually be dominated by the dreams sent by Hasta.]
Reading will cause the loss of rationality: 1d4/1d8. Cthulhu Myths skill 6%. [Average time required for comprehension: 1 week.] [Average browsing time: 2 hours] [Warning: This is a book of curses depicting Hasta, the ruler of the Great Old Ones. Reading it may attract Hasta's attention.]
Hasta was a high-level Great Old One Ruler in the Cthulhu Divine System. His alias was the Unnamed One, or the Lord of the Deep Sea of Stars, who symbolized the existence of wind in Cthulhu mythology. He was a mortal enemy of Cthulhu, who symbolized water.
In fact, the Great Old Ones were usually called evil gods, but the concept of evil did not exist in all the Great Old Ones, including Hasta.
The so-called evil was only given to them by humans based on their own standpoints. Compared to them, humans were like ants and elephants. It was undoubtedly unrealistic to expect elephants to think from the standpoint of ants.
"Ha-you want power from this book.”
The " Book of Yellow Clothes ", which contained Hasta's script, was undoubtedly dangerous. It was something that would make one lose their rationality just by reading it. However, losing one's rationality in exchange for power was very much in line with Cthulhu's style, so it was not strange.
However, as long as they did not face those terrifying Great Old Ones, it was not too dangerous.
Tossing the red cloth in his hand, Makoto Jingu threw the Book of Yellow Clothes to Naoko Ogawa.
Naoko Ogawa, who had returned to his hands, looked at Makoto Miyagu in a daze. She clearly did not understand why he was doing this.
"Isn't this the book you wanted to read? Look!"
Makoto Miyagu waved his hand and said indifferently.
Naoko Ogawa was stunned for a moment. She tentatively opened the book in her hand. Seeing that Makoto Miyagu did not stop her, she did not care anymore. She began to read the King of Yellow Clothes in front of Makoto Miyagu.
And Makoto Miyagu was looking at her coldly. If she could look into his eyes, she would be able to tell that he was looking at her like a little white mouse.
As time passed, beads of sweat rolled down from Naoko Ogawa's forehead.
She flipped through the book faster and faster.
The sound coming out of its mouth was completely unlike a human's, but more like an octopus's cry.
Gradually, her expression became blind and crazy. The clarity in her eyes was replaced by twisted madness. She had completely ignored Makoto Miyagu, who was beside her, and only had eyes for the King of Yellow Clothes in her hand.
Even her skin began to become moist. Her hands and feet, which were originally five fingers, became twisted, as if they were transforming into octopus tentacles...
Just as Naoko Ogawa was about to complete the terrifying transformation…
A cold light flashed, and Makoto Miyagu cut off her head without hesitation.
Naoko Ogawa's body collapsed like a boneless mud. Her blood stained the King of Yellow Clothes and was quickly absorbed by the book. In the end, only her bones and skin were left.
Seeing this scene, Makoto Miyagu could not help but shiver. He looked at the King of Yellow in front of him with vigilance.
As expected of Hasta's horror book. Jingu was sure that someone like Naoko Ogawa would not be able to understand French. However, even if she could not understand the King of Yellow, she was still attracted by Cthulhu's knowledge and went crazy.
He silently picked up the " King of Yellow Clothes " with the red cloth again and sent it into the page space of the Book of Mystery. Makoto Miyagu felt that it was better for him not to read this kind of thing now.
