Doomsday Harvest of Cthulhu

Chapter 5 Suleiman's Dust

Ren Xingzhi was walking back to the dormitory, recalling what had just happened in his mind. He wondered whether it was an illusion or real. After all, the painting brought him a very real feeling, and it always felt like it happened in real life.And judging from the past few days and what he has experienced, it would not be surprising to see a flying baseball hockey stick.

However, going to the library this time was not in vain. Ren Xingzhi was thinking about a piece of information he saw in the book about Suleiman's Dust.

Suleiman's dust is the dust used by Professor Armitage to disperse those small spots of light in the valley.This dust is a gray-green powder that can harm unnatural creatures from other planes of existence.This means that Suleiman's dust can harm those non-earth creatures.

The powder requires dust from mummies that are at least 2000 years old. The raw materials also include sulfur, saltpeter, and frankincense. After mixing these ingredients for at least 24 hours, they can be used.

When these dusts are scattered on the non-earth native organisms, it will produce spatial fluctuations, and the non-earth native organisms will be expelled back to their original places, just like those small spots of light from Fomalhaut, which were sprinkled on Suleiman After the dust, he was banished back to Fomalhaut.But if the alien creature is powerful enough, it can resist this kind of spatial fluctuation.

The library is closed late at night, and the campus is a little cold at night.Ren Xingzhi trotted all the way back to the dormitory, opened the door, and there were three people sitting in the living room talking.

"Alan, tell Scott, am I right today? Ten rounds and ninety rings." Wimpson leaned on the sofa and said loudly with a glass of whiskey in his hand.

Allen looked at him a little drunk, and said to Scott: "He has improved his marksmanship very quickly now, so he is a little weaker than me."

"You two can die in one day, I really convinced you two." Scott shrugged his shoulders and replied as if he was used to the two of them bickering and joking with each other every day.

Ren Xingzhi looked at the scene in front of him, and those happy campus memories from the past came back to his mind, and he thought warmly in his heart: It's still the same as before, that's great.

Ren Xingzhi walked over, sat down next to Scott, picked up a piece of pizza on the table and ate it, and said while chewing: "You two went to the shooting range again today, and you don't want to bring Scott to practice. .”

When Wipson heard this, he also felt a little helpless and said to Ren Xingzhi: "Then you have to see if Master Scott is willing. He goes to Professor Wilmas every day when he is free. We all see him." Not to him."

Scott retorted: "Hey, hey, how dangerous are the swords, guns and sticks, it's too bloody. Besides, if something happens, don't you have to protect me! Hehe."

Allen looked at him with a rascal look and said, "I hope you can be so happy next time you are being chased by ghouls."

Ren Xingzhi was eating pizza, watching them chatting with each other, he felt a sense of warmth in his heart, and he wanted to say that the time would be fixed at this moment, but he knew that in a few days, there would be a crisis The great battle awaits them.

In the early morning, the sun was shining on the campus, and the four of them walked to the teaching building. There were some other students who had classes in the morning on the way, and the four of them talked and laughed along the way.

At this time, Ren Pingsheng asked the three of them: "Before, Professor Armitage and Professor Wilmas asked us if we wanted to join them. What do you think? After all, this choice is still very important, and I It has been decided to join."

Allen said: "My family has known about these strange religions and creatures before, and the University of Michigan has excellent investigators and a wealth of information, which can also solve some problems that my family did not understand. So I should be joining them. "

Scott echoed from the side: "I will definitely join too! As an excellent scholar, of course I want to find out all the truth and knowledge, and Professor Wilmas has many books that record that knowledge. I have never seen it before. So, I will also join for the sake of knowledge."

Wipson looked at Scott, put his thick arms around his neck and said, "I will join too. After all, if I don't go, I'm afraid that no one will come if I encounter any danger next time." Save this young master."

Ren Xingzhi was a little surprised, because in his memory, in the past, Wipsen was unwilling to be an investigator to investigate those strange creatures and things in the world.He just wanted to find a job honestly after graduation and get married and have children.

In the end, it was the three of them who talked about it and tried their best to kidnap him, so Wibson agreed to join together.

Ren Xingzhi thought, could it be that some things have changed the original trajectory after traveling back this time?It's like the butterfly effect.Ren Xingzhi thought in his heart: It seems that the previous memory can only be used as a reference, and some things still need to be adaptable, let's take a step first.

Ren Xingzhi said to the three people in front of him: "It seems that we will continue to fight side by side in the future. Let's meet in Professor Armitage's office that night."

All three agreed, and then walked into their own classrooms to start class.Both Ren Xingzhi and Scott are in the classroom on the second floor. This class is the history of ancient Egypt. This is an elective course in the history department. Scott’s archeology department also has this elective course, so he is also in this classroom .

Allen was studying Latin, and Wimpson was studying psychology.

The Indian teacher on the desk in the first class talked about the history of ancient Egypt for an hour and a half in curry-flavored English. It was probably the story of the second and third dynasties. Ren Xingzhi was too big to learn, not for learning. How difficult knowledge is, but it sounds quite strenuous.

He only had this class today. After Ren Xingzhi said goodbye to Scott who was about to go to another classroom for the second class, he left and went to the library to continue studying "Xuanzi Qiaoshu".

Ren Xingzhi first went to the cafeteria and ate some noodles with meat sauce to fill his stomach, and then went to the library.In the basement, he saw yesterday's administrator named Newt translating a roll of parchment at the work table. Ren Xingzhi walked to the table and said hello, and signed his name and time according to the procedure.

The administrator looked at him without saying anything, and motioned him to go in.There was no one in the basement today, only Ren Xingzhi came to borrow books to read.

Ren Xingzhi took out the "Book of the Seven Apotheosis of Xuanzi" and sat down at the desk, opened the page he wrote down yesterday, and began to read.

When Ren Zizi turned a new page, he saw a pattern, which was exactly the picture of a woman with a huge body that he saw yesterday, but the difference was that this pattern was not like yesterday It can move, and the huge body of the woman in this pattern is covered with many tentacles.

Ren Xingzhi looked at the picture and felt a nausea. He suppressed his feeling and looked at the introduction below the picture.

This is how the picture is introduced in the book. This picture is called the Swollen Daughter. It also describes this nauseating woman who is believed by many churches. way to sacrifice to the Bloated Daughter for her blessing.

Ren Xingzhi didn't read it carefully either, but just read through it hastily, cursed a few times in his heart that he was a cult member again, and continued to read after saying things like cult members must die.
