Cthulhu Fantasy : I Am The Great Old One

Du Kang compared the standard charms he had just drawn to the side with the brush and drew something on the paper in front of him.    

The complicated runes were disassembled into the most basic strokes. The blank paper was quickly filled with ink. From afar, it looked like rows of earthworms were drawn on the white paper.    

Looking at the strokes on the paper, Du Kang shook his head.    

He still could not understand how the runes worked.    

Although the shrimp man's charm looked like a ghost drawing, at least it had the most basic logic to follow. It also had a unique organizational structure. Although the three-step algorithm that matched the runes was somewhat awkward, it did not affect the identification and writing of the runes - of course, using the power of runes was much more difficult than understanding the runes.    

As for why it was a three-way system...    

In ancient times, the number of shrimp people with only two limbs could only be counted to two.    

As for the runes in front of him... Opening them up was just a bunch of strokes. When they were combined together, they were only words of praise for some fictional gods or the destruction of evil. Du Kang had no way to understand why he could use those mystical powers with just a few words of praise or a few words of scolding.    

Rubbing the paper in front of him into a ball, Du Kang casually threw the piece of paper into the brazier beside him.    

Du Kang still had no clue about the runes, so he simply took out his cigarette and smoked. But just as Du Kang lit the cigarette and took a few sips, he saw Abeino Seimei walk in anxiously.    

"Mr. Kang, did you really kill that fox demon last night?"    

"Huh?"    

Du Kang was a little surprised.    

"Of course. Didn't I tell you yesterday? I used the fox demon's brush to shoot me and directly slapped it into its head." As he spoke, Du Kang made a gesture of pushing his palm. "It was probably like that. If his brain was turned into mush, he would definitely die. Didn't you know? "    

" Er... "    

Du Kang's actions made Abeino Seimei's eyes twitch. Although he had used a lot of cruel methods to eliminate demons and ghosts, it was rare for him to stir his brain like he was eating and drinking.    

"I was summoned to the Palace in the morning." Abeino Seimei sighed and began to talk about proper business. "His Majesty the Emperor was entangled by ghosts. The Yin Yang Masters and monks thought it was because of the fox demon, so..."    

"Then that's not right." Du Kang spat out a mouthful of smoke," I killed the fox demon myself. Even if he had turned into a ghost, he should have come looking for me if he wanted to cause trouble. How could he find your so-called emperor? Did you admit your mistake? "    

"But recently, only that fox demon died." Abeino Seimei explained, "After Mr. Kang killed the fox demon last night, the flying incense house and the fox demon's corpse were burned by the Yin Yang Masters and monks on the scene, but not long after the fire was burned, his Majesty the Heavenly Emperor ran into a demon..."    

"It's none of my business. I don't care." Du Kang shook his head repeatedly. "That fox demon killed me without even looking at me. I used that pen to kill it. This matter has already come to an end. It's impossible for me to work for your Emperor. "    

"Alright..."    

Abeino Seimei smiled bitterly.    

Abeino Seimei did not understand why Mr. Kang seemed to have a big opinion about the emperor. After all, Mr. Kang had never even met the emperor. Since the emperor did not want to help, Abeino Seimei did not force him.    

"I'll do it myself."    

————————    

Palace City, inside the Qing Liang Hall.    

"Amitabha."    

The old monk put his palms together and chanted the Buddha's name. Then, he took out a string of Buddhist beads from his hands and handed it to the skinny middle-aged man sitting on the throne.    

"Your Majesty, I have already set up the barrier. With the Buddha's protection and this string of spiritual beads, the demons will definitely retreat. "    

"Thank you, master."    

The pale-faced middle-aged man took the beads and put them on his hand, instantly feeling relieved. Even his face had recovered some color.    

"Thank you for your hard work, master."    

The middle-aged man looked gratefully at the old monk.    

"I will definitely reforge the gold for the Buddha statue of Yanli Temple... Ah!"    

Before he could finish, the middle-aged man let out a miserable howl.    

"It's starting again! It's starting again! She's back! She's back!"    

" Your Majesty! He chanted the Buddhist mantra! Recite the Buddhist proclamation! "    

The old monk anxiously shouted, but all he got in return was the old monk's continuous screams, and the old monk's even paler face.    

"Sigh..."    

Being among the Yin Yang Masters and monks, Abeino Seimei, who had witnessed all of this, sighed helplessly.    

When he was summoned to the Palace in the morning, the Heavenly Emperor was still barely able to maintain his rationality. But now, the Heavenly Emperor had been completely tortured beyond recognition.    

No one knew what exactly happened, nor did they discover any clues. No demonic energy, no demonic energy. But the Heavenly Emperor insisted that he heard the fox demon whispering in his ear, cursing him to die. This caused all the Yin Yang Masters and magic monks in Peace Capital to panic.    

Abeino Seimei originally thought that he could ask Mr. Kang to come over and help. After all, Mr. Kang's senses were much sharper than his, and his eyes were much more useful than his. Perhaps he could find some suspicious points. But now it seems like... I can only rely on myself.    

He formed a secret incantation gesture and once again felt the unusual movements in the hall.    

There were no abnormalities, as if what the Heavenly Emperor had experienced was merely an illusion.    

Puzzled, Abeino Seimei couldn't help but raise his head and look at the panicking middle-aged man on the throne.    

In Abeino Seimei's impression, the Heavenly Emperor had always been very steady and steady, like a mountain. But now, he had fallen into such a state... What exactly was going on?    

If it was just a curse, could it cause the Heavenly Emperor to be so panicked?    

What did the Emperor hear... What could it be?    

————————    

"Don't forget who gave you everything you have"    

A gentle whisper rang in the middle-aged man's ear.    

"I can let you learn how to be an emperor, so naturally I can make you unable to be an emperor."    

Don't say anymore.    

The middle-aged man tightly held the Buddhist beads in his hand.    

Don't say anymore.    

"When you saw my corpse, were you very happy?"    

No.    

The middle-aged man's forehead was already sweating.    

No, listen to my explanation.    

"You've been despising my demonic body from the beginning, I can tell. Even if I tried to please you, you were only pretending to welcome me. I can see that too. "    

No, you misunderstood.    

The middle-aged man gritted his teeth.    

I really love you, listen to me...    

"I want you to take back your power like a man, but you want me to do it... Even this has to depend on a woman, are you worthy of being a king?"    

"Ah, right. Guess, who knows about your plan now?"    

- -kacha.    

One of the beads had already been forcefully crushed by the middle-aged man.    

"So... guess, will I come and kill you?"
