451. Hunting Cthulhu Company 10 - Contents of the Book
"Close the door."
Tang Yuan and Wang Tianyi looked down at this man and blinked.
"No." Wang Tianyi replied.
Seeing that the two men were still making no move, he stretched out his bony hands and tried to snatch back the broken cabinet door.
Wang Tianyi raised his hand slightly and avoided it. Of course, he couldn't let such a weak guy snatch the cabinet door away.
Tang Yuan was sizing this person up at this time.
[Searching for this person's information from the company database]
[Hoff Jones: Originally an E-class citizen, he was promoted to A-class after joining the job. Job number 040302, a staff member of the Confidence and Security Center, disappeared two weeks ago. There was a record of borrowing the "Necronomicon" before his disappearance. 】
[The personality animal is the ostrich.]
"You are..." At the same time, he was also looking at Tang and Yuan seriously. "You look very normal, and you look much more at ease..."
"Why are you hiding here?" Tang Yuan asked. "Have you always stayed here?"
"This is the only place where I can feel safe." He said mysteriously. "There are things out there that can kill you. Didn't you see it when you came?"
Wang Tianyi shook his head and said he didn't see anything.
"Brother, you can't solve the problem by hiding in there. Why don't you come out and tell us if you have any difficulties. Maybe we can help you solve it." He stretched out his hand to pull Hov Jones, who leaned in.
Trying to avoid it.
"Huh, in this company, there are only two types of people who will take the initiative to help others: newcomers and liars."
"Ha, I'm the newcomer." Wang Tianyi said.
Tang Yuanze suddenly thought of the "Oxfam Charity Club". According to this logic, the people there were all liars.
He will not draw conclusions without evidence, but will be vigilant.
"Hmph, sure enough." Seeing that Wang Tianyi no longer forced him to go out, Hoff Jones relaxed a lot. "It's two poor rookies again."
Tang Yuan was thinking about other issues.
This man was a low-level citizen before, but was quickly promoted to a high-level citizen after joining the job. Combined with the fact that he had borrowed the "Necronomicon", Tang Yuan felt that he was also one of the employees of "Hunting the Evil God".
Maybe, that book is in his hand now.
"Hand over the Necronomicon."
"Are you so direct?"
"We are all colleagues. It is impossible for you to continue the mission like this, so just give us the book you found." Tang Yuan stretched out his hand.
Hough Jones also roughly guessed from previous conversations that these two people were the ones who would take over his job to hunt the evil god. However, he did not dare to say it directly before he was completely sure. This mission should be kept absolutely confidential.
As a result, the young man pointed it out directly, which seemed like he was being too cautious.
"Give me the book." Seeing that he didn't respond, Tang Yuan repeated it with a good attitude.
This man's eyes were dull and he had no voice when asking questions. Is he starving?
"Are you hungry? Let me cook you a bowl of noodles?" Tang Yuan asked tentatively.
"Here you go, wish you good luck." He came back to his senses, looked at them with pity, and then took out a heavy book from behind.
[You have obtained the mission prop "Book of the Dead".
Note: This "Necronomicon" is not the same as the "Necronomicon" mentioned in the echo database. It is just a special prop that exists independently in the world of this mission.
The "Necronomicon" in the echo database refers to the collection of novels written by Lovecraft, and here it refers to the mysterious witchcraft book (remnant copy) excavated in the ancient ruins that caused the Third War.
Note: The biggest practical effect of such a thick book is probably to hit people with bricks.】
"Thank you." Tang Yuan hugged the book. "As a senior, do you have any suggestions?"
"Suggestion? No, after all, I am a loser who can't even read a book." He waved his hand. "Give me the cabinet door."
Wang Tianyi helped him install the door, then turned and stared at the book in Tang Yuan's hand.
"Come on." Tang Yuan placed the book on the long table in the library, then sat down and opened the catalog first, looking for useful information.
The pages of this book are made of a strange metal, which is thicker than ordinary paper, but it is not as bulky as metal when flipped through, and feels more like gold foil.
There are some square patterns engraved on the pages of the book, which are not any known writing. In short, even Tang Yuan cannot read them directly.
"Is this the writing of the evil god?" Wang Tianyi frowned. "I found the book, but then, it doesn't seem to advance the mission."
"We're going to decipher this book."
"Deciphered? I can't understand it at all. At least there are rules to follow in Morse code. There are densely packed small squares in this pile of squares. It makes me dizzy." Wang Tianyi said.
Tang Yuan showed a strange expression.
"Do you have a way to decipher it?"
"It should be okay." As soon as Tang Yuan saw these patterns, he felt that they were very similar to "QR codes".
After all, it is something unearthed from the "mysterious ruins". It is not surprising that there is such a thing. If it is really a paper book, it will be too limited.

Tang Yuan saw a small house. It seemed that the information contained on this page was a picture. He turned to the first few pages. If he guessed correctly, one of the first few pages was a catalog.

[Title page: The eternal existence will not die, but in the weird eternity, even death will die.
Don’t think that humans are the oldest and last rulers on the earth, and don’t think that all the people walking on the earth are ordinary visible lives and forms. The old rulers existed in the past, exist now, and will exist in the future.]

The content of this book was too large. Tang Yuan casually browsed a few pages and found that it covered a huge amount of knowledge such as astronomy, astrology, history, philosophy, witchcraft, etc.
And this mission definitely doesn't require them to read the entire book first. At most, they will only use a small part of the knowledge in this book.
Based on what we have learned about the history of this world before, the outbreak of the Three World Wars originated from ancient ruins, and this ancient ruins were most likely built by a mysterious race in ancient times. The purpose of the ruins should be to worship an evil god.
After the war, a new type of sect emerged. They seemed to have inherited the will of this mysterious race and began to worship this evil god.
According to Tang Yuan's past experience, this kind of sect will definitely start thinking of ways to summon evil gods regardless of the cost.
Moreover, even if the history books say that the cult was wiped out in one fell swoop, there are always some fish that slip through the net.
"There are remnants of those cults in this company, and they are conspiring to summon evil gods."
Tang Yuan came to a conclusion.
"So the correct way to read this book is to just read the chapter on 'Summoning'. Then look for clues in the company to summon the evil god, and judge from it which evil god they want to summon.
Find a way to stop it."
Chapter completed!
