The Indescribable Diary - Chapter 37

“Before escaping from here, the investigator needs to pass a Willpower check every day. If the check fails, he will have to pass 1d6’s Injury check and an SC.”

Looking at the system prompt in front of him, Yu Yi was speechless. How did he get all caught like this? What the heck was in there? Was he in on-hook mode? Fortunately, the 1d6 casted a 1. He could wake up tomorrow; if the cast was six, then he would be regarded as a torn card and could only wait for the group to save him.

“Hey, Yu Yi, what’s going on over there?”

Soon Yu Yi received Huahua’s inquiry. No death message was received, that was to say, Yu Yi’s card was not torn yet.

“Ah, I was mentally shocked and fainted. It will last until tomorrow.”

I thought it was a device, just like a landmark; there should be no extra information. Why am I suddenly taken away? Also, what is this bunch of invisible tentacles? Damn it. Fortunately, it is invisible. Otherwise the SC before fainting will probably cause me to be in a permanent insanity state. Um, fainting is okay. Dizziness is fine.

“I see. I’ll text them and share the information first.”

“OK! We have received information here, but it is really an ordeal. The Star Color is all right. Ghroth is all right. We did nothing yet, but our group is reducing size now. If we do not want to tear up the card, we have to go back to save Daocao. However, since there is no direct judgment on the death of Daocao, then maybe this is also a certain plot, Daocao.”

It was a message from Juzi. Players could use the friend system to talk. Yu Yi could tell them all the news even not by sending text messages, but that would break the rules. Even if they knew what they were facing when they moved there, because Yu Yi did not share information with them “in the game”, the information they obtained would not be judged by KP. Even if they all knew about it, KP would decide that they did not know about it.

Sharing of information anytime and anywhere was also necessary in the game. If they were separated, they should not forget to exchange information.

But… Well, breaking the rule and knowing something that was not supposed to be known were also part of the TRPG, but most of it was just a subconscious message gained by investigators, such as seeing Laleier’s text and knowing what was going to happen. But the players’ investigator role was actually the role of Cthulhu’s mythology. That was ordinary people who did not understand Cthulhu’s dark worldview. It was absolutely impossible for them to know what Lalaier’s text represented. Therefore, it was normal to break the rule in TRPG, and most KP would acquiesce to some information. But at the same time, there would also be some inducement, for example, to make the unruly people choose the wrong option.

For example, after the Intelligence check, KP acquiesced that Yu Yi smelled ozone in order to remind Yu Yi what was here. However, the ordinary role they played had no knowledge of this, and they didn’t know what ozone represented. But at that time, KP rolled a hidden dice, which should be the point of Cthulhu mythology. Yu Yi’s Cthulhu myth had 10 points. He didn’t know if it had passed or failed. Anyway, Yu Yi already knew that there was Star Color in the church ruins, and the Star Color was very difficult to deal with.

Star Color could only be expelled and was almost impossible to be killed. As a superior independent race, it had the characteristics of physical immunity and then… The HP of Star Color was N/A. That was infinity. To put it simply, this mythical creature locked its blood bar. As we all knew, the guys who didn’t show the blood bar in the game were all BUGs…

“Do you think we will find a thousand-year-old mummy when we go to the cemetery?” Fengye proposed a possibility.

“I think you might find millennium ghouls.” Yu Yi replied angrily. The existence of the Star Color was completely KP’s. Besides Star Color, he also saw Ghroth after the inspection’s great success. One was physically immune and one was thousands of light-years away, which locked its own blood bar. The future was uncertain.

“And even if we found the mummy, we don’t have the spell or the material to make the potion. We do not have knowledge about how to make pharmaceuticals. KP is not going to let us find a way to deal with Star Color at all.”

Although the script was written by someone else, the game host was KP, who could actually make appropriate changes to the script as long as the main body of the script and the plot stayed the same. This also gave KP a lot of authority, such as putting a brilliant Tetragonal Trisoctahedron in the treasure. For example, when one looked back, one was targeted by something. For example, BOSS was actually the cub of a black goat, but it was easily replaced by KP. Although it was already way too much to place the cub, at least it still had a blood bar!

Waiting for the faint time to pass, Yu Yi could only quit the game to give himself a rest. One day in the game was an hour in reality. He logged out, thought about what should be done next, had a glass of water, and took a rest.

“The magic gained in the King Huang Yi is a double whammy of spirit and physics, which can interfere with the Star Color, but Lizi’s profession is fanatic and his sanity value is tight. I feel that magic should not be used.”

Yu Yi sighed as he thought about what to do next. With the game’s progress, some things had gradually surfaced, but there were still many unsolved mysteries.

The plot began with the death of the priest. Apart from that, no one had died in these two days. NPCs had not died either. Or some NPC died that they didn’t know about… For example, at the beginning of the plot, the man that he inspected was hiding and laughing in the crowd. There must be something wrong with that NPC. He didn’t know if it’s too late or something.

Then the priest’s death was obviously strange. He seemed to be a sacrifice for the ceremony. He had no blood left. His limbs were pulled and broken by great force, and there were signs of being bitten by creatures. It was obviously not done by Star Color, which only absorbed the vitality of its prey. The victims who were preyed on by Star Color were left basically skinny and old.

Then, there must be other mythological creatures besides Star Color.

And about sects… The missionary believed in the words of Yogg, and the Yogg believers were almost a group of crazy people in pursuit of knowledge. Although the warlocks were crazy, they would never deal with things they were not interested in, and the only thing they were interested in was unknown knowledge. It was the local church that seemed a little suspicious.

“It’s really troublesome. Two days passed and we still don’t know who the enemy is and what he wants.”

He reached out and rubbed his forehead. Yu Yi reactivated his watch and put on his glasses. He lied on the bed and closed his eyes.

He logged onto the game again, and there were still a few hours left before he woke up.
