My Liver Experience in the World of Cthulhu

Chapter 39 Situation

Rhine City, Holy Fire Cathedral.

This is a complex of Gothic buildings. The top of the church is a burning torch sculpture, hence its name.

Rhine City is the most important diocese of the Church of the Flame in the north of Faruk Kingdom. The person in charge of church affairs is Cardinal Flanders MacLean.

Flanders was speaking in the conference room at the moment, and on both sides of him sat the bishops of nearby dioceses.

His tone was heavier: "When the stars return, R'lyeh rises from the bottom of the sea, and the old rulers will return to the world. Although I don't want to admit it, the words of the cultist do tell a fact. .”

"163 years ago, the red moon reappeared. With the activation of the spiritual plane of the world, a thick gray fog began to fill the center of the Endless Sea. Even with the scorching sun in the sky, visibility was still not high. When night came, these thick fogs became even more... It is pervasive and spreads outward."

"The Pope sent news that gray fog has begun to fill the Aegean Sea. It is winter now, and the wind direction is southward. Otherwise, the gray fog will spread to the northern continent in the budding moon. However, our situation is not optimistic. It only lasts half a year. Less than enough time to prepare.”

"The situation has become very serious, and the sanctuary plan has been officially launched."

"We need to notify every church before the gray fog completely spreads. Bishops, do you have any other questions?"

Seeing that no one asked questions, Flanders waved his hand: "Everyone, go back and prepare. May the Lord of Fire be with us."

"May the Lord of Fire be with us."

When all the bishops left, Flanders looked tired.

The more you know, the more you understand what kind of monster you are facing now.

The true situation of the previous era is recorded in the church's secret book.

Those Old Ones are evil gods who spread fear and madness. The most famous among them is Cthulhu who is entrenched in the city of R'lyeh.

The evil gods spread fear in dreams and distort people's souls. The more spiritually sensitive creatures are, the more they can sense the madness.

Now, you can only feel that kind of evil dream on the night of the red moon, but when the gray fog completely fills the world, you have to face that kind of despair every day.

After the evil gods are fully revived, mortals will fall into madness and be transformed into evil dependents just by seeing their true bodies.Extraordinary people cannot be exposed to the gray mist.

The Bible records that the evil gods were defeated and sealed by the gods. In fact, many of them were beautified, and only a small part were sealed.

After the departure of the red moon, the spiritual concentration in the world dropped. This environment reduced the physical activity of the evil gods, and they would fall into a deep sleep like frogs spending the winter.

They were not defeated, they just found a place to sleep.

R'lyeh is the largest city established by the Old Ones. There are also some small evil cities scattered in other parts of the world.

As the concentration of spirituality in the world continues to grow, these cities will all reappear in the human world, and unspeakable terror will completely descend.

If the various churches had not fully cooperated to develop methods to fight against the gray fog after the arrival of the red moon, this time, humans would have been hiding in various shelters, trembling and praying in despair, just like they did in the last era.

. . . .

Andes Mountains, Sunset Peak.

This is the second highest peak of the mountain range. It is located on the westernmost side of the mountains. Further west is the Qianren high cliff.

If someone looks down from above, they will find that the snow on the mountain peaks gradually melts away, revealing a fortress built of green boulders.

The buildings here are all kinds of strange and completely inconsistent with human aesthetics. The spatial structure and size displayed give people a strong sense of disgust.

The cold wind howled in the fortress, but once it entered a certain range of the fortress, the strong wind became gentle like a tamed wild horse.

When the sun reached its highest point, wisps of gray mist rose from the tallest building in the fortress.Riding on the gentle wind, the gray mist flew out of the castle.

The wind became stronger and stronger, the gray fog became lighter and lighter, and finally completely dissipated in the air without a trace.

. . . .

Crown sat on the chair with his eyes closed, and his consciousness came to that magical space, which he named the Sea of ​​Consciousness.

In the conical flask above the hourglass of time, the sand of time has accumulated half of its volume.

In the crystal ball, the silver moon dew is nearly overflowing, and one-third of the golden sun-fire liquid has accumulated. These are the materials for making the Pure Heart Talisman and the Golden Light Talisman.

His consciousness returned to his body, and Kroun thought that the production of Taoist talismans should also be put on the schedule.

If the sun-fire liquid and moon dew are overflowing, no new material will be produced during visualization, and it will be a waste.

Taoist talisman paper needs to be specially made. The eggshells of eggs are washed with distilled water, then dried and ground into powder.

Take the white and clean part of the straw and grind it into powder as well.

Use egg white to mix the eggshell powder and straw powder together, install it in the prepared mold, apply it about one millimeter thick, then close the mold and press it with a heavy object for three days.

When the talisman paper is ready, it needs to be dried in the sun and moonlight respectively.

The talisman paper dried in the sun is used to make the golden light talisman, while the talisman paper dried in the moonlight is used to make the pure heart talisman.

Since he had been working hard to gain proficiency in the Liver Golden Light Curse and had no need for Taoist talismans, he had not wasted time making these talismans and seals.

Now that the crystal ball in the Consciousness Sea was overflowing with moon dew, he had to make some Taoist talismans.

The materials for talisman paper are all common. He quickly prepared everything and made a piece of talisman paper about one square meter.

After making the talisman, Crown rushed to the church.

. . . .

In the church, Nick's room has an extra guest.

"Old friend, the church you are responsible for is a bit crude." A priest with fair complexion and warm eyes looked at the layout of the room and shook his head slightly.

"Hamfa, even in the most difficult place, we must have the glory of holding on to the Lord of Fire."

"Come on, old friend, there's no need to talk to me like this. We've known each other since we were selected as exorcist priest apprentices. I don't know you yet."

Nick glanced out the window and shook his head: "It has been seven or eight years since I became an exorcist priest, and it will be almost four years since I became a priest in the church. When I first came to this desolate little place, of course I was not reconciled. "

"But now that I'm 30 years old, I'm looking away. The bishop has his own arrangements and has been unable to provide me with an assistant, so I'll train myself. It's better to ask for help than to ask for help from others."

Hamfa stared at the white hair on his old friend's forehead and his firm eyes, feeling a little unsatisfied in his heart.

When my old friend graduated, he was one of the top exorcist priests in his class, but he was assigned to a place with the worst conditions. Crusader assistants were not dispatched for a long time. He must have had a very difficult time these years.

"What kind of look are you looking at, pity?" Nick laughed loudly, "You have the identity and promotion materials I applied for for Crown, right?"

"Yes," Hamfa nodded, "Did you start training this young man as soon as you came here? Did it cost you a lot of effort and money?"
