The days of being a spiritual mentor in Meiman

Chapter 3217 The Shadow of Faraines (XIV)

Batman's willpower is absolutely impeccable, but it's another matter in this kind of game. Although Schiller thinks he should give himself enough willpower points, it's useless if he fights monsters above his level.

Looking at Batman's appearance, he must have come into contact with some high-level existence, at least higher than the Deep Diver, and accidentally fell into his trap.

But Batman must not be defenseless and powerless to resist, otherwise he wouldn't show abnormality frequently, causing Schiller's vigilance.

If Batman really behaved normally, Schiller really didn't dare to say that he wouldn't be fooled by him, but Batman's behavior was really wrong, as if the words "I have a problem" were written on his face. Schiller felt that he should not be controlled by someone, but might be affected by something.

This reminded Schiller of the little girl with strange behavior, Jeff's little daughter. She also looked fine on the outside, but she just revealed a kind of weirdness.

Schiller thought of the book of the water god he had found in Jeff's cellar. The boxes on top of the book were empty, except for a little grass debris in the top box.

The feed piled in the cellar was used to feed animals. Although Schiller had never been involved in animal husbandry, he roughly understood the principles of breeding. These livestock raised for food were often not just put on the mountain to graze.

Generally speaking, no matter how abundant the grass is, ranchers will definitely stock up on feed, because sometimes the weather is bad, and sometimes the grass cannot provide enough nutrition to make the livestock reach the weight standard, and additional supplements are needed.

Schiller calculated the date. It was not long before the day when Jeff's sheep were lost as mentioned in the diary. It should also be winter. Although goats can eat grass roots, there is no fresh grass after all. Jeff may have to use feed to supplement their nutrition.

The boxes placed above the Book of the Water God were obviously obstacles that Jeff used to cover up the traces of the book. He deliberately did not put feed in it, perhaps because he was worried that the book might affect the feed.

But Schiller found that there were traces of feed in the top box, which means that someone put feed in that box.

Although the book does not look poisonous, it is really hard to say what kind of horror it is. No one knows what effect it will have if you put the entrance on it.

If there is really a problem with these feeds, then the goat that suddenly went missing may have an explanation.

Batman is like the goat, and also like Jeff's little daughter. They look normal, but that is just a disguise. They use seemingly normal behavior to lure people into the trap step by step.

To be honest, this does not look like the style of Cthulhu Mythos, but rather like the style of the devil.

"There are no demons in this game." The Transcendent said, "There is no heaven or hell, no real magician, you can directly rule out this inference."

Schiller understood that this was obviously not a copy of sword and magic, and it was definitely impossible to have a battle between heaven and hell or a magic duel.

Then this is a bit like a human.

Except for Naa, the high-level existences in the Cthulhu mythology system have basically nothing to do with cunning. They don't engage in conspiracy, and they won't deliberately murder anyone. They just exist quietly. Everything that collapses because of them is just unable to restrain their greed for taboos.

Schiller doesn't think Batman is a greedy person. He can control his desires well, so he may be in trouble.

Schiller checked Batman's body and didn't find any suspicious objects. Instead, he found a wound on his right hand. It seems that the bloody spells in the study should be written by him with his own blood.

Recalling that Batman had clicked on psychoanalysis, it was probably because his mental health value was exhausted, so he had to click on this skill to try to turn the tide, but failed, so he went crazy.

No, it is also possible that it was not a failure, but it was this psychoanalysis that caused his mental health value, which was already low, to drop rapidly.

Look, what did he say? This thing is not reliable at all. Anyone who uses it will die except Schiller.

Schiller sighed in his heart, but he still had to find a way to save Batman.

Just as he was thinking about where to trigger a few battles, let his skills cool down, and restore some sanity to Batman, Batman lying on the ground suddenly groaned.

Schiller was startled, he didn't forget that Batman was still in a crazy state, he was not sure he could beat the crazy Batman.

Watching Batman slowly get up from the ground, Schiller held the crowbar in one hand and touched the pistol in the other hand. As long as the other party showed any wrong, he would immediately take action.

But Batman just turned over and lay down again, and Schiller heard him say, "I'm fine."

"What's wrong with you?" Schiller still couldn't trust him completely, so he stood two meters away.

He saw that the wound on Batman's head was gradually healing, and guessed that he should have used the healing skill, but he felt that the other party's mental health value had not improved, because he also knew that there was no skill in the skill list that could directly restore this value.

"Something's wrong." Batman said, "Have you ever thought about why we go crazy when we are mentally unhealthy?"

Schiller was stunned by his question. He said: "You might as well ask directly, why do we go crazy when we go crazy?"

"I mean, why do we go crazy when we hit rock bottom? Is that who we are?"

Now that there is no battle triggered, they cannot directly say some words related to skills and numerical values, but can only hint in roundabout ways.

Schiller isn't stupid either, he took the hint from Batman, who was actually asking why they went crazy after their mental health hit bottom.

Schiller has always felt that this is actually a setting. Game settings, don’t worry so much. If any value reaches the bottom, there must be a penalty. If the blood volume reaches the bottom, won’t you also die?

But Batman seems to have a different opinion.

"Someone told me that I was cursed." Batman said: "An indescribable magical existence. Contact with him made my spirit completely fall to the bottom, but just when I was about to go crazy, he helped me break free. Some, and told me the truth.”

"who is he?"

"He said his name was Dagon."

Schiller was shocked. Sure enough, Batman had really come into contact with the Old Ones. Dagon was the god believed by the deep divers.

However, as far as he knew, Dagon was very mysterious. Mr. Ke would occasionally catch two boats, but this guy seemed to have been living on the bottom of the sea without much movement. He had never heard of anyone he communicated with, and most sailors did not I just dreamed of such a monster and saw some vague shadows, but Batman actually contacted him?

"Why would he help you?" This is what Schiller is most puzzled about. Dagon is the fish god. He should not have a good impression of humans, and he is less likely to take the initiative to help humans.

"It was a novelty for him."

"What?"

Check out the 16-9 book bar to see the correct version!

"I said, I found the correct application of psychoanalysis." Batman said: "He was very shocked by what I saw. He thought I was the same kind as him."

Schiller was stunned.

He seemed to understand what Batman was saying, but it felt ridiculous precisely because he understood.

Schiller himself knew that when his mental state deteriorated to a certain level, his psychoanalytic talent would gradually emerge, but it was more like some bizarre and seemingly unfounded hallucinations than a talent.

But these hallucinations can accurately foreshadow many things, and can even serve as his senses, allowing him to understand the world more clearly than before.

The Transcendent has said before that the third-level psychoanalysis method is actually to connect one's own talents. In other words, people who click on this skill may also see more things as their mental state worsens.

If Batman really has this skill maxed out, and he happens to be at extremely low mental health, the hallucinations he sees must be astonishing.

If he communicated with Dagon mentally in this situation, what would Dagon think of the hallucinations in Batman's mind?

According to Batman, Dagon was also shocked.

This world is so crazy that humans can mentally pollute the Old Ones.

However, it seems that it was precisely because of this bizarre mental state that Dagon did not feel that Batman was a human being. He may have thought that Batman was an old ruler similar to him, so he simply helped him.

Schiller suspected that it might be these hallucinations that gave Batman the ability to communicate with Dagon. After all, the Old Ones did not speak human language, and the messages they transmitted spiritually were polluting, and special tools had to be used. Only by using methods can you communicate with them, and Batman probably doesn't know any special methods.

Schiller's gifted senses, which happen to be fully powered, are confused. All the ways he perceives the world are through illusions. Instead, he transforms Dagon's language into illusions that he can understand.

This is true that times are progressing and society is developing. Human beings are no longer satisfied with accepting gifts from God, and have begun to directly use the black tiger to dig out their hearts.

But it may be this coincidence that saves Batman and pulls him back from the brink of complete madness.

"What's the curse?" Schiller was shocked for a while and then remembered to ask.

"It's a curse that literally makes us go crazy when our mental state deteriorates," Batman said.

This made Schiller think. He originally thought that this was actually a game setting. After all, the Beyonder had emphasized it, but even though it was a setting, it didn't mean that he couldn't make up a story, or that it would be included in a relatively careful script. Wearing stories about players' special abnormal states can enhance the sense of immersion, rather than thinking of settings as soon as they encounter this state.

It's quite abnormal when you think about it carefully. Batman's experience shows that going crazy after losing all his mental health is not about attacking everyone indiscriminately, but actually setting up a trap carefully and leading people through it.

It's not like he's crazy at all, but like he's being controlled by something. If you have to say it, it's a bit like being possessed. He's completely irrational. It's really strange that he can do such a thing.

Schiller thought for a while and said: "Although we all have our own reasons for coming here, it can also be said to be a kind of fate. Perhaps it is because we have the same curse that we came to such a remote place at the same time."

"Where do you think the curse will come from?" Batman looked at him and asked.

Schiller didn't speak, but turned his head silently and set his sights on the towering cross beside him.
