Dice In The Darkness: Cthulhu Calls-Chapter 665: A Different Yellow King
Chapter 665: A Different Yellow King
Liu Xing furrowed his brow, knowing he had been outsmarted by these Deep Ones.
It was clear that these three Deep Ones were the true backup of the Deep One leader.
Moreover, the most critical thing was that Liu Xing was now only about 10-13 feet away from these three Deep Ones, so Liu Xing knew he couldn’t escape anymore.
As for the biological handgun in Liu Xing’s hand, Liu Xing felt he could only load two bullets at most, and even then, the last Deep One could still easily kill him.
To put it simply, there was no room for operation at all.
Thinking of this, Liu Xing could only sigh and shake his head, it seemed he was going to be eliminated this time.
One misstep, and the entire game was lost.
At this time, the three Deep Ones also began to slowly approach Liu Xing.
Liu Xing let out a sigh and directly chose to give up resistance, after all, from the current situation, he was already doomed.
Then, Liu Xing heard three miserable cries!
The sound seemed to come from the Deep Ones.
Liu Xing opened his eyes in surprise and saw a familiar figure - the Yellow King!
The Yellow King’s yellow robe was indeed too iconic.
At this time, the Yellow King waved his left hand, and the surrounding Deep Ones, who had been frightened out of their wits, instantly turned to ashes and were blown away by an invisible wind.
Then, the Yellow King turned around and silently looked at Liu Xing.
Although Liu Xing still couldn’t see the Yellow King’s face clearly, Liu Xing’s intuition told him that the Yellow King must be looking puzzled at this time.
After a moment, the Yellow King spoke up: "Who are you? Why is it that on your body, no, I should say, why is it that your soul has my aura? I should have never seen you before, right?"
So that’s how it was.
Liu Xing suddenly realized why the Yellow King had appeared here, it was because the Yellow King had "recognized" him.
However, because the Yellow King was only an avatar of Hastur, the Yellow King couldn’t know the truth of this world like Aughra did.
In the end, the Yellow King was just a high-level NPC and not like Aughra, the game master.
So, Liu Xing couldn’t communicate with the Yellow King as a player and had to continue playing the role of "Chris".
Therefore, Liu Xing could only pretend to ask in surprise: "Who are you? Why did you save me at this time? I don’t know you now either."
Liu Xing intentionally emphasized the word "now".
The Yellow King was indeed the Yellow King, and he instantly understood Liu Xing’s meaning.
The Yellow King circled around Liu Xing with interest and then spoke: "So that’s how it is, no wonder I only sensed my aura on your soul, it turns out you’re the legendary Reincarnator." Ɽ𝓪Ν𝔬BĘṤ
Reincarnator?
Liu Xing was taken aback at first, then realized that the Yellow King’s "Reincarnator" must refer to the player, but because the Yellow King’s level was not high enough, he didn’t know about the existence of the Cthulhu Role-Playing Game Hall, so he used the term "Reincarnator" to refer to the player.
However, this term "Reincarnator" was quite fitting, as Cthulhu RPG players generally had multiple character cards and played games in a cycle, which could be seen as a kind of reincarnation.
Of course, Liu Xing felt like he had heard the term "Reincarnator" somewhere before.
At this time, Liu Xing still maintained a puzzled expression and asked: "What does Reincarnator mean?"
The Yellow King chuckled and said seriously: "It doesn’t matter if I tell you, anyway, you Reincarnators will forget all your memories every time you leave your current body; in fact, I hadn’t seen a real Reincarnator before, I only heard about their existence from a friend, simply put, Reincarnators are a kind of mysterious creature similar to the Yis People, but unlike the Yis People, you Reincarnators can transcend time and space in a spiritual state, obtaining human or Deep One bodies through possession, but your memories will be completely reset every time you possess, and you’ll only have the memories of your current body."
"However, the origins of you Reincarnators are also very mysterious, even my all-knowing friend doesn’t know what you’re all about, and what’s strange is that you Reincarnators always seem to be at odds with mythical creatures like Deep Ones, and you can even find those great existences hiding in the shadows, although most of the time you Reincarnators will die without a complete corpse due to your human bodies’ weakness, but sometimes you can do some miraculous things, so my friend has been observing you with great interest, unfortunately, he still hasn’t gained anything."
"As for why your soul has my aura, and I can sense a kind intention in that aura, there can only be one explanation, that is, you will meet me in the future, and I should have become your god, no, I am the god of legend to you Reincarnators, my power surpasses your imagination, so according to your current host’s human perspective, a great existence like me doesn’t need to show kindness to humans, unless those humans are willing to become my followers."
"I have many followers in this world, including some humans, such as a movie director in the United States of America who is my follower, he’s now preparing to direct some movies related to me to spread my greatness to those ignorant humans; in the Island Nation, I have a follower from the Byakhee tribe, it helped me establish a secret cult composed of only humans, to be honest, I’m quite willing to help it get rid of that cult, because I have to admit that there are more powerful existences in this world, and I don’t want to provoke them because of those humans who know nothing, so I’m preparing to find an opportunity to eliminate that secret cult."
Liu Xing looked at the Yellow King with a surprised expression, never expecting the Yellow King to be such a chatty "person", it seemed that people really couldn’t be judged by their appearance.
However, this is also very normal. After all, Wozki Sod once said that people have three faces: one for those close to them, one for strangers, and one for enemies.
So, at this time, Yellow King might think that when he switches to the "Watanabe Ryuusei" character card, he won’t have these memories, and therefore, Yellow King feels no need to put on a show in front of himself, as it won’t affect his majestic image in front of "Watanabe Ryuusei".
At this time, Yellow King’s words were coming to an end. "No matter what, since you can become my messenger in the future, it means you’re very important to me. So, I still need to save you. After all, you reincarnators sometimes can escape death by turning into a spiritual form, but sometimes you’ll suddenly die. If I didn’t act just now, you would have likely died at the hands of those Deep Ones."
Hearing this, Liu Xing pretended to be shocked, which was the normal reaction.
After all, if someone suddenly tells you that you’re not human, but a forgotten alien, you’ll only have two thoughts: "Are you crazy?" or "Am I not human?" If that person isn’t human either, then your thought is probably the latter.
So, Liu Xing needs to act out this state.
However, what Liu Xing didn’t expect was that KP Time suddenly appeared, saying, "Because you’ve heard something beyond your imagination, you’ve lost 4 sanity points And you’ve gained a temporary debuff - doubting life."
This time, Liu Xing was really shocked.
Looking at Liu Xing’s expression, Yellow King laughed and said, "I knew you’d react like this. Who would have thought they’re not themselves? But you don’t need to worry too much. You’ll still live a human life until you leave this body, so don’t think too much."
Liu Xing then came back to his senses, shaking his head and saying, "I see. But how should I address you?"
"Yellow King," Yellow King replied. "The humans who believe in me call me Yellow King, so you can call me that too. Names are just codes, anyway. By the way, you should know where this place is, right? You had the courage to use that Migo-made biological handgun to kill those Deep Ones, which means you know more than ordinary humans."
Liu Xing nodded, saying seriously, "Yes, I know this is Cthulhu’s dream realm, but I don’t know how to leave."
Yellow King sighed, looking at the distant Fort and saying, "Cthulhu and I don’t get along, so I’m taking a huge risk by saving you. You can’t disappoint me in the future."
"Of course not!" Liu Xing replied immediately.
Yellow King nodded in satisfaction, handing Liu Xing a small yellow pill and saying, "This is Cthulhu’s dream realm, so if you eat this pill, you can wake up. I have to go now. If Cthulhu detects me, it’ll be troublesome."
After Liu Xing took the pill, Yellow King disappeared.
However, before leaving, Yellow King released Dio and the others who were tied to the stone pillars, which saved Liu Xing some trouble.
After all, Dio and the others were tied to pillars about 16-20 feet off the ground, and without any tools, it wouldn’t be easy for Liu Xing to rescue them.
At this time, Dio and the others also woke up.
"I knew I wasn’t wrong about you, Chris. You came to rescue us," Dio said weakly.
Liu Xing helped everyone up, saying seriously, "Let’s go quickly. Those Deep Ones were temporarily led away by the rescue team’s Bentker, but they might come back anytime."
Dio and the others nodded, following Liu Xing to their temporary shelter.
The journey was uneventful.
After returning to the shelter, Dio called Liu Xing aside, saying, "Chris, what happened at the wedding scene? I only heard the sound of an engine roaring after Locke disappeared, and then I lost consciousness. When I came to, I was locked in a place that seemed like an abandoned warehouse."
Liu Xing sighed, saying helplessly, "You were taken away by Ithaqua. After Locke disappeared, Ithaqua’s subordinates arrived at the scene in a helicopter, occupying the air and using rifles to attack the wedding, causing the deaths of dozens of guests and staff. Now, the entire London is in chaos. The most important thing is that Ithaqua framed Miss Wang from Chinatown for this, so I’m now being marginalized by the London police."
Dio’s eyebrows furrowed in surprise, saying, "What? Ithaqua took me?! Why did he come to take me at this time?"
Liu Xing shrugged, saying, "Ithaqua told me you’re the best host for Crimson Ghoul, so I think Ithaqua took you to let Crimson Ghoul take over your body. But don’t worry, Dio. The Crimson Ghoul statue is still in the hands of the Cult of the Cadaver."
Dio looked surprised, saying, "What do you mean Ithaqua isn’t from the Cult of the Cadaver?"
Liu Xing nodded, saying, "From the current situation, Ithaqua isn’t from the Cult of the Cadaver, and he might even have a grudge against them. That’s why he took the opportunity to launch an attack. But anyway, Dio, do you know where you were held? I’ll go rescue you when I return to the real world."
Dio thought for a moment before saying seriously, "The warehouse where I was held should be an old, abandoned textile factory. I noticed some old textile machine parts and a box of possibly discarded fabric scraps in the small room where I was held. The surroundings were very quiet, and I could even hear the sound of running water."
Liu Xing nodded, knowing that Dio was indeed held in an abandoned textile factory on the outskirts of the city, near a river. Old textile factories require a lot of water, so they’re usually located near rivers. In a densely populated country like England, only the outskirts would be as quiet as Dio described.
