I really don't want to be a novelist

Chapter 24 new book update in progress

"Crackling..."

The repetitive and boring sound of keyboard tapping is accompanied by the birth of the story on the computer screen,
Lines of words and descriptions outline a novel world, and at the same time gradually fill up the blank pages of new chapters on the code word software.

Ji Zhuo coded in front of the computer,
The sun outside the side window is slanting westward,
The sunlight that swayed down was reflected on the top of the tall buildings in the distance, and reflected on the pieces of reflective glass.

It also passes through the gaps of the dense branches and leaves in the neighborhood, and falls on the ground,
Reflected into the window, reflected at Ji Zhuo's feet.

Ji Zhuo is typing.

very serious.

Learning from the experience of the previous failure,

He didn't mess with the text any more,

Anyway, the upper limit of his attributes is here, so it's better to write it well, so as not to be self-defeating.

Of course, the most important thing is that the choice of subject matter is enough to drive away most readers.
There is no need for him to make any fuss about the plot,
It is also suitable for readers of this niche subject matter.

on the computer screen,
Ji Zhuo continued to write the five chapters that had already been published,

In the previous five chapters, the protagonist archaeologist Howard, because of his previous archaeological experience,

Joined the Night's Watch organization of the Church of the God of Steam and Machinery, also known as the Tungsten Wire Organization.

This organization is mainly responsible for the handling of special events and extraordinary events in the Church of the God of Steam Machinery,

It will also absorb some people who have been in contact with extraordinary events but have not died.

The protagonist Howard joined the Night Watchman by virtue of this,

At the same time, the bearded and sloppy man Umpton who led him into the Night Watch organization also revealed a corner of the true face of the world for Howard.

This is a chaotic and dangerous, disorderly and even absurd world,

There are people with supernatural abilities who are polluted by contact with evil gods,
There are also things related to evil gods, and even those indescribably great beings, which may allow people to obtain some dangerous abilities, and at the same time produce some dangerous side effects.

People are too weak to bear the great power of those great beings,

So it will collapse, it will go crazy, it will deform, it will die, and all kinds of weird and weird phenomena will happen.

Further down the plot,

Naturally, it still revolves around the protagonist Howard,

After joining the Night's Watch,
Howard got a meditation method, which is a more perfect version of the meditation method that Ampton asked him to do in the previous chapter.

The only function seems to be to strengthen his spirit and try to maintain his fragile consciousness and sanity under various shocks.

But the power against evil gods can only be the remnants and reflections of your great existence.

Therefore, Howard, like other night watchmen, can only use the power of other evil gods or other existences to fight against some special events.

After joining the Night's Watch,

In addition to getting the meditation method, Howard also based on Ampton's suggestion and his own ideas,
Choose two spells, which are also extraordinary items that the night watchman once obtained,
It's just that the side effects are relatively small and the requirements are low, so it is reserved for the night watchman to fight against other vicious extraordinary events.

After getting these two incantations, Howard found that they were incantations, more like two prayers pointing to unknown evil gods or gods,

There will be side effects when used at the same time.

One is that after chanting and performing the ritual, it can restore body injuries, improve resistance to some extraordinary pollution and resistance to extraordinary damage.

The ceremony is simple, and the prayers are only two or three sentences, no medium is needed, or when you are injured, the wound blood on your body is the medium,
But when using it, there will be some strong pain.

If you are not used to it in battle, you may lose your ability to resist,

So Ampton asked him to get used to it first.

And the other one is a spell that can release fire,

But the side effect is that the flame is released from your hand, and your hand may be burned to a certain extent,

The most important thing is that it will affect your emotions, making you more prone to anger and irritable, if you do not pay attention, you will lose your mind,

In the end, he burned himself to ashes.

Then, Howard tried to use these two spells,

However, he found that after using these two incantations, he didn't feel too uncomfortable.

After chanting the mantra to restore the wounds on my body, I didn't feel so painful, and the pain was bearable.
The spell of releasing the flames did not affect Howard's sanity too much, he just felt a little irritated.

But at the same time, he also seemed to feel the raving voice faintly ringing in his mind.

This feeling,

It seemed as if he was marked by a greater being, to whom these lower prayers were directed, and less daring to provoke him?

Maybe this is a fox pretending to be a tiger?

Spend some more space,
Let Howard obtain these two abilities, and at the same time reveal some functions of Howard's special ability-relying on that babbling reduces some side effects when borrowing the power of other great beings.

Then, Ji Zhuo continued to write,

Continue to unfold the plot,

took some space,

Briefly describe the University of Morley where Howard worked.

Morey University adopts a system where there is only one full professor per department.
So Howard, an associate professor who is only 27 or [-] years old, is already considered an outstanding achievement.

At the same time, it also introduces the Association of Archaeologists of the Kingdom of Lanxi, which Howard joined.

This time, Howard also vaguely discovered that the Association of Archaeologists also has some mysterious places, and there may be some personnel with mysterious powers, such as night watchmen.

Describing these is mainly to let readers have a clear and intuitive understanding of the world.

At the same time, it also facilitates the development of subsequent plots.

Then, when Howard came to the place where the night watchman was stationed,

Found that Umpton, the captain, looked for him again,
Because in the previous attack on the crazy activities of a certain evil god organization,
Obtained something like a badge, which seems to be an antiquity,
Before he died, the leader of the evil god organization was still madly holding it in his hand, praying non-stop.

The night watchman suspects that it has something to do with an evil god.

But I can't confirm the function of this badge, but as soon as Ampton gets close, I feel a strong feeling of palpitation and confusion.

This time I called Howard over, just to use his professional knowledge to see when this thing belonged to, so as to judge what period it was.

Howard followed Umpton to see,

But before he got close, he felt a raving sound in his mind,

It constantly stimulated his nerves and challenged his reason, as if roaring in his mind, much more than when he released the spell before.

This dangerous reaction made Howard only look at it from a distance in the end,
I saw a weird and distorted pattern engraved on that badge, which was formed by intertwining messy lines.

It seems that there is an inexplicable divine power that makes him sink into it just by taking a glance at it from a distance, and he can't help himself to move forward.

In the end, it was the babbling stimulation in his mind that made him wake up again, and turned his head hastily,
Que found that Captain Upton was beside him,

Just like when I introduced him to the real corner of this world before, one eye was scarlet and frenzied, the other eye was cold,

looking at him.

At last,
Howard only roughly judged that this badge might be a relic from the previous era, and might have something to do with some churches in the previous era, so he left in a hurry.

"……call……"

"Crackling..."

Ji Zhuo let out a long breath as he looked at the several chapters on the computer,

Three more chapters were coded today, and the plot flow of "Resurrecting Cthulhu" is written here.

It was already dark outside.
