Chapter 53 The Piper of Azathoth
Municipal Second Hospital.
Police who could not find Parr Winkton's relatives and any information released a message in the news, hoping that citizens who knew the white man would contact the relevant departments as soon as possible.
"You are here." Chen Qiang, who learned the news, came to the hospital. The one who greeted him was Chen Qiang's cousin, Chen Jian, who was the policeman. This strange case is now under the responsibility of Chen Jian.
"elder brother."
"You stay up late again?" Chen Jian asked in a low voice looking at Chen Qiang's dark circles.
"I got used to it after I endured it," said Chen Qiang, "Brother, you are the same."
"I won't go around you," Chen Jian shook his head, "You know that strange foreigner?"
"I look very similar to a friend of mine," said Chen Qiang, "I'll see if it's him."
"Come with me." Chen Jian said.
...
On the intensive care unit's bed, Parr Winkton was dying. He was not completely out of danger.
【Mythical Interference】
The first thing Chen Qiang did when he met was to throw a myth without hesitation and interfere with the past.
[The race of the object is human, and "mythical interference" cannot be used.]
"He can't hear his ears now," said Chen Jian, "How is it? Is he your friend?"
Chen Qiang shook his head: "No."
Chen Jian sighed.
"Brother, you haven't tried it," Chen Qiang couldn't help asking, "Write or something to communicate with him?"
"He was in a coma most of the time," Chen Jian said in a deep voice, "and we tried it. He seemed to be unable to understand too complicated English sentences. In the end, he just wrote his name, Winkton's."
Chen Jian handed a note with scribbled handwriting by Parr Winkton.
"This looks like a German name!" Chen Qiang touched his chin, "My friend is also a German."
"Then we should find someone who can write German to communicate with him. Well, I'll contact you now..."
"No need to be so troublesome. The doctor will look for it, maybe there will be one?"
The two brothers discussed in a low voice, but Parr Winkton woke up. Suddenly, he screamed in horror.
"That voice, that voice!" He shouted in hoarse German, shocking Chen Jian, and Chen Qiang's ears buzzed, "That voice! It's it, it's coming!"
"Calm down!" Chen Jian shouted, and then he remembered that Parr Winkton, whose eardrum had ruptured, could not hear anyone else's speech now.
The nurses rushed in, but the crazy Parr Winkton had already pulled the infusion tube on his body and ran towards the nearest window. The nurses rushed over, but it was too late.
Chen Jian rushed forward, trying to hold down the violent Parr Winkton.
[Chen Jian's Strength Check Success 68/70]
[Pal Winkton Power Check Failed 90/60]
Neither Chen Jian nor Parr Winkton were investigators. Chen Qiang could not see the result of the dice contest, but he could see Chen Jian try his best to hold Parr Winkton down, and then the nurses rushed forward, making Parr Winkton unable to move any longer.
Suddenly Parr Winkton laughed wildly.
"I'm not him," he said, muttering complex German, "I'm not the person it's looking for. But it's here, it's here now, and he and I are going to go with it."
Just as Parr Winkton was spitting out the last word, Chen Qiang suddenly heard a sound like a scrambling glass. The sound was so sharp and harsh that everyone except the crazy Parr Winkton couldn't help but cover their ears.
【SC0/1D2】
[Chen Qiang's rational check failed 91/38]
【1D2=1, the remaining rationality 37 currently]
[Chen Jian's rational check succeeded 52/85]
Parr Winkton spit out a large mouthful of blood, and his body slowly fell down.
"Damn..." Chen Jian always kept calm, "What's going on? He can't bear more stimulation!"
Chen Qiang looked out from the window.
[Chen Qiang's investigation and inspection failed 93/66]
He only saw a blue shadow flashing through the alley.
It doesn't matter. This level of information is enough.
"Wait? Chen Qiang? What are you doing? This is the second floor..." Chen Jian exclaimed.
Chen Qiang climbed up to the nearby windowsill, which was open and ventilated. Chen Qiang looked at the nearby branches and jumped towards the treetops.
[Chen Qiang Jump Check Success 18/20]
He grabbed the branches accurately and then landed steadily.
Chen Qiang kept running towards the alley where the blue shadow disappeared. I hope he could catch up...!
[???Agility check failed 97/95]
[Chen Qiang failed to agility check 99/70]
Chen Qiang, who almost failed, almost fell to the entrance of the alley. The blue shadow had disappeared, and the sharp scratch sounded again-
Then Chen Qiang understood the true body of that mythical creature.
Chen Qiang did not hesitate at all.
"Mythical Interference!" Without asking the system whether it could do this, Chen Qiang stared at the void where the voice echoed.
4 points of sanity pool, pay.
[According to me, the living voice of Sgerhoe...!]
He finally thought of the name of the monster in the Cthulhu setting that could do such things.
Suddenly, the harsh and dizzying sound seemed to choke and ended abruptly out of thin air.
"Make it physical. I know you can do it." After wiping the cold sweat on his forehead, Chen Qiang gave an order to the "air" around him.
A few seconds later, my destiny will be the same as poor Parr Winkton.
Accompanied by Chen Qiang's order, a hideous and terrifying crawling creature appeared in front of Chen Qiang. This thin blue creature had huge eyes without pupils, its claws were as soft as boneless, and its skin was covered with wrinkled scales.
【SC0/1D4】
[Chen Qiang's rationality check was successful at 35/37]
It stared at Chen Qiang with resentful eyes, but it could not resist the system's ability to "mythical interference".
"So that's it. Sgerho's live sound waves, the sound that can be materialized... You are the messenger of the Oval of Azathoth."
...
Azathus.
The Demon King of Infinity, the Supreme God in Cthulhu mythology, and the Crazy Chief Commander of the External Gods.
This blind and foolish god has no mind. It is located in the center of the universe beyond ordinary time and space, eternally rolling and frantically biting.
Azathus is forever surrounded by the low, evil, ominous drum sounds and the disgusting monotonous tone of the flute. Countless low-level gods followed the beat and danced chaos around Azathus; and the commander of the crazy symphony is the outer god Truninbula, who was respected by the worshippers as "Royalty", and the great flute player of Azathus.
Truninbula's immortal consciousness wanders in the universe. It will select the most genius musicians among the civilizations, erode their will, and eventually bring their souls to the court of Azathus after their death, allowing them to play forever for the blind and foolish gods.
Just like Cthulhu, the deep-diver worshiper, Baiyaki trusted Hasta, Truninbula also had his own family, the living voice of Sgerho. Like their outer god masters, the residents of Sgerho also had a wise voice. When the Sgerho tribe became physical, this lizard form covered with blue scales would be formed.
Truninbula and its relatives are not very well-known in Cthulhu mythology. Even Chen Qiang, who is proficient in Cthulhu mythology, almost forgot them. It was not until the blue shadow flashed past that Chen Qiang connected the "outer god" and realized the true identity of the mastermind behind the soul of the great musician.
"Silly guy," Chen Qiang sighed as he looked at the blue lizard creeping at his feet tremblingly, "You got the wrong target. That's not the person your master is looking for. Now tell me all your plans. What do you think your master will do if you fail? Or are you ready to summon it?"
