Dice In The Darkness: Cthulhu Calls

Chapter 181: Speculations on the Clearance Method

After all the twists and turns, it turned out that Nyarlathotep had to shoulder the blame in the end. Dark Life and Eldritch God Taketori were creations of Nyarlathotep.

At this moment, Gu Jun expressed some doubts, "So, Yis People could calculate all of this. Why didn't they travel back in time and change everything, like preventing Taketori's ascension or stopping that young female Yis People from time traveling?"

Chen Wenbin shrugged and earnestly replied, "While Yis People can traverse time and space, it doesn't mean they can do whatever they want. Yis People are just a technologically advanced race in the Cthulhu universe. They don't have the qualification to intervene in the realm of gods. Moreover, in this matter, it involves Nyarlathotep. Yis People can only calculate the appearance of Eldritch God Taketori. As for other things, they dare not act because Taketori's will has twisted time and space, making it impossible for Yis People to traverse into this era."

After listening to Chen Wenbin's account, everyone fell into a brief silence, digesting the information.

"So, the plot of this module is quite clear now. Firstly, King Tindalos traveled to the Asuka Era in the Island Nation, established his kingdom, and planned to summon his daughter from another time. However, King Tindalos's daughter encountered Taketori, who quickly fell and became Eldritch God, incubating within King Tindalos's daughter and waiting for the right moment, which is when the world falls into darkness," Liu Xing speculated.

"As King Tindalos noticed something unusual in his daughter's body, he couldn't expel or eliminate Eldritch God Taketori. After considerable effort, King Tindalos calculated that, in this era, we players have a chance to prevent the birth of Eldritch God Taketori. Therefore, he brainwashed his daughter into Mian Gu Lu and sent her to us. Our current mission is to stop the descent of Eldritch God Taketori!" Liu Xing laid out his conjectures.

Gu Jun, as the only expert present, added his opinion, "Liu Xing is right, but the problem now is how to deal with Eldritch God Taketori. Even if he hasn't been born yet, his power is beyond our capability to resist. Unless we can obtain some artifact equipment in the upcoming plot, it's impossible to kill Eldritch God Taketori inside Mian Gu Lu. So, personally, I believe the key to our mission success or failure will be the solar eclipse seven days from now, or rather, six days from now. If Eldritch God Taketori is to be born in darkness, we just need to dispel the darkness."

Yin En raised an eyebrow and asked, "Gu Jun, are you suggesting we take Mian Gu Lu to the southern hemisphere since the eclipse will only happen in the northern hemisphere?"

Gu Jun shook his head quickly, "That's impossible. KP won't allow us to do that. If we dare to take Mian Gu Lu out of Ziwu City, the Dark Willow Gang will block us before we leave, and our mission will be doomed. Even if we go to the southern hemisphere, the eclipse will follow us, and we still won't be able to prevent the birth of Eldritch God Taketori!"

"However, since Eldritch God Taketori is supposed to be born in darkness, I think as long as we replace darkness with light during the eclipse, Eldritch God Taketori should be unable to be born in this world. I've checked the spell book of the Cthulhu RPG Game in the real world, and I've seen a spell that can change the weather and day-night cycle in an area. But maintaining this spell requires a large amount of MP. So, I believe that the key to this module is, first, obtaining this spell, and second, gathering enough volunteers to maintain it!" Gu Jun analyzed, and the others nodded in agreement.

At this point, KP Li Shunchan suddenly said, "Dear players, would you like to renew your Private Room time? You have half a minute left before your Private Room time expires."

"Yes, I want to renew my Private Room time, KP," Yoh Asakura hurriedly said.

Standing next to Yoh Asakura, Watanabe Jiang took out a map from his pocket and said, "Let's decide where to gather intelligence tomorrow. I think the locations marked on this map should be places where we can obtain information. However, Ziwu City's urban area is too large, and we can only go to two locations in one day."

Watanabe Jiang laid the map on the ground, and everyone squatted down to study it.

"First is Ziwu Shrine located directly south of Ziwu City. We must visit there because, without any accidents, Ziwu Shrine should have information about Killer Demon and Ghoul. We might even get the spell that can change day into night. Moreover, the Unseen Pool beneath Ziwu City is rumored to be related to Killer Demon Sawada Tomohiko, so we can also visit Unseen Pool while we're at it."

"Next is the Rose Graveyard southwest of Ziwu City. It's now confirmed as the lair of Ghouls. Though it's dangerous, I think it's necessary to visit Rose Graveyard because, according to current urban legends about Ghouls not harming people, I suspect there should be elder-level Ghouls in Ziwu City, responsible for controlling Ghouls in Ziwu City. Elder-level Ghouls are proficient in various spells, so the spell to change day into night might also be obtainable from the Ghoul elder. After all, there's no absolute justice or evil in the Cthulhu RPG Game."

Talking about the Ghoul elder, Liu Xing couldn't help but think of Jigu's romantic interest.

"Then there's the undeveloped area in the southwest corner of Ziwu City. It's obviously Killer Demon's hiding place. But for now, we shouldn't go there because we definitely can't provoke Killer Demon. After all, Killer Demon can deal tens of damage in one slash, and we're fragile. Also, I believe Sawada Family has guards stationed there. We basically have no chance of entering the undeveloped area unless Mr. Yin En, Miss Sawada's fianc, is willing to sell his charm to please Miss Sawada."

Watanabe Jiang started off serious but ended up joking and teasing Yin En.

However, Yin En had a good temper and replied with a smile, "I also want to sell my charm, but my character card doesn't allow me to do that."
