Dice In The Darkness: Cthulhu Calls-Chapter 573: Earthquake

Liu Xing raised his eyebrows, he didn’t expect the Mirror World to have this kind of effect.

At this time, the Yellow King continued to explain: "Although the mist of the Mirror World looks endless in the eyes of you humans, but from the perspective of God, the mist of the Mirror World is only about ten meters thick, and those humans who have consciously or unconsciously entered the mist will be affected by the rules of the Mirror World and keep circling in the mist, and without the help of external forces, those people can only wander in the mist forever, while those with the ability to break the rules can use the mirror point for free transfer."

Hearing this, Liu Xing suddenly remembered the ending scene of the Bountiful Shrine module, when the Mysterious Elder parted the mist, the thickness of the mist was indeed about ten meters.

However, to return to the topic, Liu Xing suddenly remembered that he had also dreamed of walking in the mist before, so could the mist he dreamed of be the mist of the Mirror World?

Thinking about this, Liu Xing wanted to ask the Yellow King this question.

But before Liu Xing could speak, the Yellow King spoke up and said, "I know what you’re thinking, the mist you dreamed of back then was indeed the mist of the Mirror World, and the R’lyeh city you dreamed of was the R’lyeh city of the Mirror World. As for why I came to you, it’s because I saw you in the Mirror World, and you just happen to be my believer, so I decided to help you."

Liu Xing nodded, so this is how he was chosen by the Yellow King. fɾēewebnσveℓ.com

But Liu Xing is actually more confused now. When the Yellow King freed him from that strange dream before, he did not mention anything about the Mirror World, so Liu Xing thought at the time that he was haunted by Cthulhu, but from the current situation, his strange dream seems to be related to the Mirror World.

Liu Xing suddenly felt his head starting to hurt again.

Of course, this time the headache is not an illusion of Liu Xing.

"Because playerLiu Xing, you have heard something surprising, so you will now lose 1 sanity point directly," said the KP Bamboo Rat.

Liu Xing rubbed his temples, he didn’t expect the Yellow King to make him lose 1 sanity point with just a few words. He would not have asked this question if he had known.

After all, he had already lost 4 sanity points this morning, so he is now on the verge of going crazy, constantly testing the boundaries, because although his sanity points are all question marks, from the current situation, it seems that it won’t exceed 50 points, so if he continues to lose sanity points, he may directly enter an indeterminate state of insanity.

But to return to the topic, Liu Xing feels that if he can enter an indeterminate state of insanity, it would also be a good thing, because he can finally figure out how many sanity points this character card has.

From the current situation, his character card’s sanity points should be above 25 points... Of course, in normal cases, a character card with sanity points below 25 points is basically a lunatic.

So now Liu Xing is thinking about whether he should find an excuse to send the Yellow King away, because Liu Xing feels that if he continues to chat with the Yellow King, he may lose more sanity points, and then he will really go crazy.

Thinking about this, Liu Xing’s survival instinct is still high, but he really can’t find a suitable excuse, after all, the identity of his character card is the fanatical believer of the Yellow King, so "he" still wants to chat more with the Yellow King, how could he possibly want to send the Yellow King away just because of a little physical discomfort?

So, Liu Xing can only choose to go straight to the point, just like ending his conversation with the Yellow King prematurely, "I see, I didn’t expect my dream to be actually connected to the Mirror World, I thought it was happening in the Dreamrealm..."

Before Liu Xing could finish, the Yellow King suddenly interrupted, "At this point, let me tell you the truth, you were not actually dreaming, but in your sleep, your soul was drawn to the Mirror World, so everything you experienced felt so real, you could even smell the fishy smell of the Deep Ones... And I was a bit hesitant about whether to save you at the time, because I was curious why your soul was drawn to the Mirror World alone."

Liu Xing frowned, feeling that his head was going to hurt even more, because he would definitely lose some sanity points because of the Yellow King’s words.

Sure enough, the KP Bamboo Rat popped up again and said, "Haha, because playerLiu Xing, you have heard some shocking news, so you have lost another 1 sanity point."

Liu Xing is now looking at the Yellow King with a smile on his face, but in his heart he is cursing MMP.

In the past, Liu Xing still thought the Yellow King was quite nice, being so good to his believers, and becoming the Yellow King’s believer was not a bad thing; but unexpectedly, the Yellow King is now bullying him without any hesitation, this successive sanity point strikes have left Liu Xing speechless.

But to return to the topic, Liu Xing is now also very curious why his soul was drawn to the Mirror World alone, and from the Yellow King’s words, it is not difficult to analyze that Liu Xing might be the only human whose soul was drawn to the Mirror World alone, and if he was not the Yellow King’s believer, the Yellow King might have chosen to stand by and watch what would happen to his soul when attacked by the Deep Ones.

Of course, Liu Xing now definitely knows what will happen next, it will be nothing more than running a single-player module, hiding from the pursuit of those Deep Ones in the ruins of R’lyeh in the Mirror World, and if he can clear the module, his soul will return to his body, and if he fails, his soul will dissipate and he will tear up the card again.

But what Liu Xing is most concerned about now is, who is the one who is guiding his soul to the Mirror World, and even bringing his soul to the "hell-level dungeon" of the R’lyeh ruins?

Now we can first exclude the possibility of Cthulhu, after all, Ke Zong should now be sealed in the real world’s R’lyeh city, sleeping, and it is impossible for him to appear in the Mirror World and come to bother a ordinary person like Liu Xing, even though Liu Xing is a believer of the Yellow King, his arch-enemy.

But apart from Ke Zong, Liu Xing really doesn’t know who he has offended to the point that they can draw his soul to the Mirror World, after all, to be able to draw his soul to the Mirror World, the being must be at least at the level of the Yellow King.

Could it be Aughra?

Liu Xing couldn’t help but think of that smiling black man.

As the incarnation of Nyarlathotep, Aughra must have the ability to draw his soul to the Mirror World, but what is Aughra’s purpose in doing so?

After all, although Nyarlathotep likes to stir up trouble, Nyarlathotep still has a reason for doing anything... even if the reason is just wanting to see the excitement.

So could it be that Aughra is just bored and wants to see him being chased by the Deep Ones?

Aughra might as well just show up and knock him unconscious, then throw him into a fishing village full of Deep Ones, and then put the "Yellow King" book next to him, so that when he wakes up, he can call all the Deep Ones in the village, and then guarantee that he can be chased by those Deep Ones who want to kill him to the ends of the earth...

Moreover, his previous encounters with Aughra were quite pleasant, and he didn’t provoke Aughra, so Aughra shouldn’t be looking for trouble with him.

Seeing Liu Xing’s brow furrowed, the Yellow King spoke up and said, "Alright, don’t dwell too much on why your soul was drawn to the Mirror World, because it was most likely just an accident."

"An accident?"

Liu Xing looked at the Yellow King with a surprised look.

The Yellow King nodded and said seriously, "After I entered the Mirror World, I conducted some investigation on it, and I found that although there are many powerful beings in the Mirror World who can ignore some of the rules of the Mirror World and freely open the mirror point to enter and exit the Mirror World, they cannot change the rules of the Mirror World, so they should not be able to have the ability to draw your soul to the Mirror World. Therefore, I now have only two guesses about this. The first guess is that you were targeted by the creator of the Mirror World, because only the creator of the Mirror World would have the ability to draw your soul to the Mirror World."

"Of course, the possibility of this guess is almost zero, because to put it bluntly, you don’t have anything worth the creator of the Mirror World to notice you, after all, you are just an ordinary human, and when I helped your soul escape from the Mirror World, nothing significant happened, so I think my second guess is correct, that is, all this was just an accident, you might have been marked with the wrong sign by the Mirror World for some reason, so your soul was randomly transported to the Mirror World and then suddenly sent back."

The Yellow King’s words are quite reasonable and convincing, leaving Liu Xing unable to refute.

However, this also explains why Liu Xing’s physical body did not enter the Mirror World when he entered it today.

Wait.

Since only his soul entered the Mirror World today, that means the Yellow King did not completely erase the Mirror World mark on him!

Thinking about this, Liu Xing brought up his doubts tactfully, "My lord, I entered the Mirror World today, but it was only my soul that entered, wasn’t it?"

The Yellow King naturally understood the implication behind Liu Xing’s words, so he nodded and said, "You’re right, it was indeed only your soul that entered the Mirror World today, because I did not completely erase the Mirror World mark on you, after all, I said that the rules of the Mirror World are not easy to break, so I could only shield the influence of the Mirror World on you to a certain extent, but today you just happened to encounter the opening of the Mirror World, so my efforts were naturally powerless."

Liu Xing suddenly felt a bit relieved, at least he encountered this incident today, otherwise the Yellow King would have kept deceiving him.

It seems that even a superhuman being like the Yellow King will deceive people for certain reasons.

But come to think of it, the Yellow King, in terms of setting, is more like a human, or the leader of a secret cult, than a Great Old One.

At least in these few interactions with the Yellow King, Liu Xing always felt like he was facing the leader of a secret cult, rather than a god, because the Yellow King still has a human touch.

So, Liu Xing forced a smile and said, "I’m still grateful to my lord for your assistance, but by the way, I just received some news about Thousand Face..."

This time, the Yellow King seemed to be practicing his interruption skill, as he cut off Liu Xing before he could finish speaking, "As for the matter of Thousand Face, you’ll have to handle it yourself, I can no longer provide you with any other help, so I can only hope for good news from you."

Liu Xing nodded helplessly, it seems there’s no way to confirm the latest news about Thousand Face with the Yellow King this time.

At this moment, the Yellow King suddenly stood up and said, "I originally thought you would encounter some unexpected events with that great being, but now it seems I was overthinking, and you don’t need to worry too much, that great being has just passed through the Earth of the Mirror World, so it will not have any impact on the real world’s Earth."

As soon as the Yellow King finished speaking, Liu Xing suddenly felt a violent shaking, almost losing his balance and falling down.

Earthquake?!

As an Island Nation person, "WatanabeRyuusei’s" subconscious immediately reminded Liu Xing that this was a high-magnitude earthquake.

After more than ten seconds, the earthquake stopped.

Liu Xing couldn’t help but look at the Yellow King, but unfortunately he still couldn’t see the Yellow King’s expression, as the Yellow King’s face was forever shrouded in an unknown darkness.

Of course, Liu Xing could now guess that the Yellow King’s expression was probably not too good, after all, his words had just been refuted directly, which would not feel good for anyone.

Ghatanothoa’s ability to destroy the world is not only because it can awaken the sleeping Great Old Ones, but also because Ghatanothoa can make natural disasters such as earthquakes, tsunamis, and volcanic eruptions on Earth become more and more frequent, ultimately turning Earth into a planet unsuitable for human life in a short period of time.

Of course, the possibility that this earthquake was a normal occurrence cannot be ruled out, after all, the Island Nation is a country prone to earthquakes.
