Doomsday Harvest of Cthulhu

Chapter 26
This desk is very big, but apart from the space for one person to work, the rest of the desk is occupied by books and some calculation papers.

Scott picked up the pile of calculation papers and looked at them carefully. There were many planetary orbit diagrams drawn on it, and some extremely esoteric physical formulas were used to calculate the travel time of celestial bodies.

Scott didn't quite understand these, so he handed the draft paper to Father Lynn. After taking it, Father Lynn shook his head and said that although he knew a little bit of astronomy, the knowledge involved here was too complicated to understand. One of the mysteries.

Then I started to start with the books on the table to see if I could find something useful.Unfortunately, after checking it, the books inside are all in ancient Latin, ancient Greek and ancient Egyptian.

Because he is a student of the history department, Scott once studied Egyptian for a while, but these words used ancient characters and grammar, and their history can be traced back to the second and third dynasties. unknown areas.

Father Lynn looked at Scott who was returning the things on the desk to their original positions while sighing and shaking his head, and comforted him, "It's okay, let's look for it again and see if there is anything else useful."

Scott nodded, then turned around the room and opened the bedside table next to the bed. There was only a palm-sized statue inside the cabinet on the first floor.

This statue looks the same as the Cthulhu statue given in Armitage's photo at that time, but the size is different.

Then the second layer was opened, and an open book was placed on the second layer. The book was made of the skin of an unknown creature, and the text on it was something Scott had never seen before.

Father Lynn came over to take a look, and said in disbelief, "This book seems to be written in Laleijawen!"

Scott took out the book. The book has four to five hundred pages, but its weight is surprisingly light, not as heavy as the flashlight in his hand.Then he asked, "Father, do you recognize what is written on it?"

"These are in Lalaiyeh. I only know a few words. I have seen it in some places when I was traveling. For example, this word means calling." Father Lynn pointed to a certain word in the book.

Scott closed the book, put it in his backpack and said, "Take this book away first, it seems to be very important to the enemy."

Father Lynn took out the palm-sized statue from the first drawer and put it in his hand. After looking at the statue carefully, he smiled and said, "I see."

Scott came up and asked curiously, "What's the matter, Father."

Father Lynn grabbed Scott's hand and shoved the statue into Scott's hand.As soon as Scott's hand touched the statue, he could feel his body trembling uncontrollably.

Then, Scott heard Father Lynn say: "This is a magic pot, which stores a huge amount of magic power. When the wizard's magic power is exhausted, you can hold this magic pot to replenish the magic power. It's a good thing, you Take it."

Scott was a little embarrassed, he scratched his head and said, "You also need to use spells, or you should take this thing."

Father Lynn waved his hand and said, "I have something similar, you can just take it, and leave this area quickly, otherwise it will be dangerous for the owner here to find out that the things have been taken away."

Seeing this, Scott did not shirk, and followed Father Lynn to leave through another door.

The passageway from this door is similar to the passageway you passed through when you came in. The only difference is that after walking about 50 meters, some rooms appeared on both sides. door.

Scott said: "This is probably where the Dagon Secret Cultists lived."

Just as he was speaking, he could hear someone's footsteps coming from ahead, and it could be seen from the shadows reflected on the wall that they should be six deep divers.

Just as Scott ran back with Father Lynn and hid in the house full of books, the door to the side room suddenly opened, and two pairs of powerful hands dragged Father Lynn and Scott into the room together.

The mouths of Scott and Father Lynn were covered almost at the same time, and a magnetic voice came from Scott's ear.

"If you don't want to be found out, don't make a sound."

In a dark passage, eight people who had just experienced a fierce battle were leaning against the wall, eating dry food and drinking water to take a rest.

Wimpson asked Britt: "Why did you two come here, didn't you go to Egypt?"

"After we sent Joel's group to Cairo, they went to find the ruins with the help of Orthodox people. We came back first, just as Professor Armitage asked us to come here to inquire about the statue." Ritter said.

Ren Xingzhi swallowed a mouthful of biscuits and said, "That relic seems to belong to the third dynasty. If it is found, Joel will be famous in history."

Britt smiled and said, "Isn't it? He also said that he would bring me a souvenir when he found it."

Allen interrupted their conversation and said, "Get down to business! You guys came here, Britt, did you find anything?"

Britt coughed twice in embarrassment, and said seriously: "Zoe and I killed two members of the Esoteric Cult of Dagon yesterday, and sneaked in here wearing their clothes. We have found the location of the statue, but there are too many people. We can only get out and figure out a way.”

Allen said: "Then why don't we go there first, we are slowly exchanging information on the way."

Ren Xingzhi echoed, "That's fine, Britt, please show me the way with Zoe."

Britt nodded, walked to the front of the team with Zooey and said, "No problem, leave it to us."

In a dark passage, Britt pointed at the exit ahead with a flashlight and said, "The statue is there."

Ren Xingzhi behind him pulled out his long knife and said, "How do you know the situation there?"

"The specifics are like this. The space is very wide, and the statue is in the middle. The distance from the front hole to the statue is about 100 meters." Britt drew a rough map on the ground and said: "But the problem is that the inside There are no less than [-] deep divers patrolling, and there are several passages connected behind the statue, there will probably be reinforcements there."

Ren Xingzhi said: "Even if we have guns, after two rounds of volleys, the deep divers will rush in front of us, and then we can only fight hand-to-hand."

Britt said: "Let's give full play to our advantages. I suggest that we can form a formation. As long as Arias is sent to the statue, our mission will be completed."

Ren Xingzhi nodded, and said to the crowd behind: "First suppress the firepower, wait until the deep diver rushes in front of me, Britt, Zoe, and two sailor brothers in the front against the deep diver. Melee, Wibson, Allen, and Arias take a chance to call them names."

The rest of the people expressed no opinion.Ren Xingzhi led the crowd to fumble for the exit.
