Chapter 3223 The Shadow of Faraines (Twenty)
Schiller thought to himself, how could I not notice your behavior of working for three days and drying the net for two days, speaking sometimes and not speaking the next?
In fact, when he was fighting those hounds, he discovered that there was something wrong with the battle report.
At first he speculated that there might be a broadcast when attacking players but not when attacking ordinary monsters. However, later he had conflicts with players, and sometimes there was no broadcast, but there was a broadcast when attacking monsters.
Isn’t this battle broadcast a bit too arbitrary?
And ever since Pride brought him here, the Transcendent has been busy explaining himself and hasn't spoken for a while.
Later, when I spoke again, my tone of voice had completely changed. My style was totally different from before and it was so different that I was afraid that others wouldn't be able to hear it.
Also, when the Joker was not dead yet, he was chased by Reed in an underground cave, and the results of several Batman's dice were not good, which also caused the main universe Batman to be seriously injured. This should be the work of the Joker.
But then the dice turned black and gold, and no matter how you threw it, it was a big failure. It seemed like it should be the clown's skill, but in fact, the clown can only have one skill.
In other words, you can only choose to control the numbers on the dice or change the colors of the dice and directly throw them to cause a big failure. It is impossible to have both.
And the latter skill is too outrageous. Even if it can directly release the wind blade of greed, the lethality of that thing is not that great. It can only cut a person in half, and after a certain distance, it can only leave a shallow mark on the wall. It is more of a melee auxiliary skill than magic.
The strength of other people's skills is also similar, but if the Joker really has a skill that requires everyone to throw a big failure, then the balance will be too outrageous.
Schiller suspected that the black and gold dice at the back might indeed be the clown's doing, otherwise they wouldn't turn normal as soon as someone shouted at them. However, he might not be using any skills, but might have reached a deal with some being.
And this being is most likely Nyarlathotep.
It may not be that the Transcendent came to him, it is also possible that he has long been eyeing the Transcendent, or to be more precise, he has long been eyeing the Fighting World.
This thing is very popular. Anyone who knows its nature will be interested in it. Who doesn't like electronic cricket fighting? It's normal for Naya to be interested in it.
Especially since he was the creditor of Schiller, the major shareholder, and seeing that the debt could not be recovered, it was not excessive to charge some interest.
Probably for this reason, his arrogance did not stop him. After all, he might be useful in the subsequent restrictions on Barbatos, so it would not be a big deal to give him a little benefit now.
But just think about it and you will know how unreasonable this cunning Outer God is. He will not be happy just to be left watching from the sidelines. Since the Transcendents have invited him here, and the script of the game happens to be related to this group of Outer Gods, how could he resist?
It is estimated that he used this reason to convince the Transcendent to hand over the game to him. After all, the God of Stories does not like to interfere in stories, and Walter may not have knowledge in this area. Basically, only Naya is professionally qualified. Anyway, it is just a report and a roll of the dice. The Transcendent must think that it will not cause any big trouble, so he just handed it over to Naya.
Who is Kanaya? If there is fun, he wants to watch it. If there is no fun, he will create fun to watch it. So he deliberately made the voice of the new announcer completely different from that of the Transcendent, just to attract the attention of these players.
Just like the Transcendent said, there are three Batmans, two Jokers, and two Schillers in this game. None of them has a stupid brain. Each of them is very smart and will definitely notice the difference in the announcer's voice at the first moment.
Naya threw down a bait, and naturally someone was willing to take the bait. The clown was the first fish to take the bait.
The Joker may have some knowledge of the Cthulhu mythology, but not enough, otherwise he would know that anyone who makes a deal with Naaah will not have a good ending.
Of course, the transaction must be completed. Those who refuse to pay will not count.
Although Naa mostly plays a background role in Cthulhu mythology works, and the ones that have a little bit of screen time are his incarnations, almost all authors have very negative opinions about him, and all transactions with him will end in tragedy.
Like the Joker.
Among the players who died so far, only the Joker died the most miserably. The others were basically shot to death, but the Joker was different and just electrocuted an acquaintance.
Of course, this is due to Bruce's lack of knowledge, but assuming that the Joker had already reached a deal with Naya, it would not be surprising that he died in this way.
Bruce's debugging equipment must have passed the inspection. His so-called slip of the hand might be that he missed the dice. Judging from the results of the nine thunder tribulations, it is very likely that he had failed miserably.
The content of the deal between the Joker and Naya was related to dice. He asked Naya to make a dice that could only throw out big failures, and eventually he died from the big failure of the dice. This kind of echo with black humor was simply a sign of Naya's crime.
Schiller didn't know how Naya treated the clown, but he felt that he should not have used such a nagging tone as he did now. Schiller rolled his eyes in his heart. He didn't just realize it now, he just dared to do it now.
If it weren't for exploring those three ships that looked so bad, Schiller would not have resorted to such a desperate measure. Looking at the situation, he had to find an Outer God to cooperate with, and find Naaia. Even if the end was miserable, at least the strength was high enough. No matter whether it was Ktayat or Ibo-Zter, they should not be able to defeat Naaia.
Although he complained several times in his mind, Schiller still slowly closed his eyes and asked in his heart, like a person who had just come into contact with forbidden knowledge.
"who are you?"
In fact, you should answer "My name is xx" at this time. This is the normal process of communicating with outer gods. After all, there are many ways to contact them, and no one can guarantee that their phone number is correct. You must ensure that the real person answers your call.
But Naa is clearly not a normal god.
"Given the relationship between us, there's no need to go through those procedures. You can just call me Nyarlathotep."
Naya used Brand's voice, and Schiller was instantly distracted. His mind was now filled with the image of Schiller and Brand playing cards at the club in the afternoon.
By the way, Naya is really bad at playing cards, and he really can’t stand losing, so when he’s about to lose, he secretly confuses his opponent and makes him play badly as well.
"Change your voice," Schiller said.
"Okay, tell me what you need me to do for you."
Schiller covered his forehead, because this time Naya used the voice of the hotel manager, you might as well not change it.
The other party seemed to have noticed that Schiller was not satisfied with this voice either. After adjusting it for a long time, he finally changed it to a smoky voice that was very consistent with the public's stereotype of a big devil.
"Can you ensure that I will not be corrupted by the forbidden knowledge in this book?" Schiller asked, holding the book in his hand.
"Is that all? I can even let you take those three ships away."
"Drive to R'lyeh?" Schiller said with disdain, "The more conditions I have to offer you, the more miserable my death will be. This is all I want. Can you do it?"
"You can actually do it yourself," Naya said. "This book sweats because the previous owner used his own skin and soul to turn it into a living thing."
Schiller paused slightly as he pressed his hand on the book cover. What did Naya mean?
"Your talent is unparalleled. When you fall into hallucination, you can naturally see the mystery of this book without having to open it." Naya explained patiently.
Schiller understood immediately. He looked down at the Book of Water God in his hand. The fact that this thing had a human skin and soul proved that it could also be psychoanalyzed.
It may sound ridiculous, but Schiller's hallucinations are even more ridiculous and unreasonable.
In other words, as long as his mental health value hits rock bottom, even if he doesn't open the book, he may be able to use his talent to directly understand the secrets in the book.
Naya is indeed difficult to deal with, and Schiller admits that he is moved.
Trading with Naya is not as simple as trying to get the skin of a tiger. Even if it is just a game, Schiller does not want to die miserably.
Anatoly can blame Naia, mainly because they are in the DC universe, and Naia is just an incarnation here, equivalent to a diplomatic ambassador, not the emperor of his own country, and the power he can mobilize is limited.
Although the power he lent to Anatoly was not a small amount, Anatoly obviously understood that one cannot pull all the pieces at once, so he borrowed a little from here and a little from there. This amount of power was not a big deal for Naya, so he could take it or not.
But now, the game Schiller is in is based on the Cthulhu mythology. Although it is fictionalized by the God of Stories, it is also the hometown of Naa.
If you offend Naija in the comic universe, you can still look for Lucifer or God, as they are the big bosses in the comic universe. But if you offend Naija in a universe with a Cthulhu background, it is basically equivalent to offending the vice president, and it is only a matter of time before you say goodbye to the beautiful world.
Even when facing the Old Ones, Schiller was extremely cautious, otherwise he would not have dared to read the book. He was also extremely unwilling to make a deal with Naya.
But now there is a way that allows him to avoid making a deal with Naya, but still understand some of the contents in the book, adding an extra layer of protection to his future exploration. Schiller can't help but be tempted.
He took a deep breath and weighed the pros and cons of the two in his mind.
When making a deal with Naya, you have to be prepared to die miserably even if he wins the game. Although death is just a way to exit the game, Schiller is not sure who is watching this scene. What if a few of them go crazy? Who knows how much trouble he will get into after exiting the game.
If you lower your mental health value, you may not see anything by yourself, and what Naya says may not be credible, but if you can succeed, and use Schiller's skill to restore your mental health value, it can be said that there is almost no loss.
All I can say is that if he had any other personality traits, he would definitely choose the latter.
But unfortunately, the agent hated mental disorders, so after a long silence, he said: Tell me your conditions first, Naya.
