Real Game: I Exposed the Old Ones

Zhu Zheng took out the silver dagger from his pocket again.

The silver dagger seemed to be alive at this time and was constantly vibrating.

And Zhu Zheng also discovered that as he continued to move around the study, the vibration amplitude of the dagger was constantly changing.

After trying it several times, Zhu Zheng concluded a pattern.

As he got closer to the south wall of the study, the dagger's amplitude increased.

And when he is far away from the south wall of the study, the amplitude of the dagger will become slightly smaller.

It was as if Dagger was attracted to something and made an impatient plea.

Zhu Zheng had a thoughtful look on his face.

The dagger was found in Nannan's mother's room. Its function is to prevent Nannan's mother from deepening her deformation.

The person who has the ability and motivation to do this is undoubtedly Nan Nan's father. So, the owner of the silver dagger is most likely Nan Nan's father.

Could it be that Nannan's father left something behind, and that something had a resonance with the silver dagger?

With doubts and curiosity, Zhu Zheng approached the south wall of the study.

There is no bookshelf on the south wall, but a table.

In addition, several decorative paintings are hung on the wall for decoration.

Zhu Zheng inspected it carefully.

Soon, he made a discovery.

He reached out and took down one of the decorative paintings.

A square hole was immediately revealed in the wall behind it.

The cave wall is uneven and it looks like it was carved out bit by bit.

Zhu Zheng looked over.

The hole is not deep, and there is a compass the size of a fist and a letter inside.

In the darkness, the compass was regularly emitting light fluorescence, seemingly echoing the silver dagger.

Zhu Zheng's eyes lit up, he reached out and took out the compass, put it in his palm and looked at it carefully.

This is a compass with a metal dust cover.

The compass is covered with unique and strange patterns, which look like twisted water, circling around and around.

On the dust cover on the front, there are groups of bubbles engraved on it, with a line of small words inlaid with rubies underneath.

[The guidance of Yog-Sothoth. 】

“This item is called ‘Yog-Sothoth’s Guidance’?”

Yog-Sothoth, such a familiar name, seems to have been mentioned in a certain report.

Zhu Zheng frowned and thought.

In his spare time when he wasn't playing games, he was immersed in the secret agency's data room, editing the investigation files that he had permission to view.

Therefore, I also learned a lot of secrets.

He had some impressions of the name 'Yog-Sothoth'.

After a while, Zhu Zheng finally recalled it with the help of the memory given by the Memory Palace.

It was an investigative report on a cult.

A few years ago, an evil cult called the All-Seeing Ones suddenly became active and carried out several shocking bloody sacrifices.

The secret agency takes it very seriously.

After a clear investigation, military and police forces were deployed to suppress the incident.

But at the final moment of the operation, the Order of the All-Seeing Ones suddenly disappeared.

No matter how the secret agency searched, no trace of them was found.

It was as if they disappeared out of thin air.

In short, the incident ended with the All-Seeing Order disappearing without any explanation.

Precisely because of the anticlimactic ending, non-staff personnel like Zhu Zheng are qualified to read this investigation report.

He vaguely remembered that the god worshiped by the All-Seeing Order was ‘Yog-Sothoth’.

Faith in Him is secret and ancient.

According to legend, He is the god created by the supreme being, omniscient and omniscient, possessing unparalleled wisdom, and connected with all time and space.

Finished thinking.

Zhu Zheng returned his attention to the compass.

The compass is heavy and feels very good in the hand.

Open the dust cover.

Different from ordinary compasses, this compass has four hands on the dial, which are white, yellow, red and black.

But no matter how he moved the position, the pointer did not move even half a minute.

It's like it's broken.

That's weird, how do I use this?

Zhu Zheng inspected him more carefully.

Then he made a new discovery.

The back of the compass is engraved with many bubble-like round protrusions, and these tiny protrusions form a paragraph.

Zhu Zheng read it involuntarily.

[Yog-Sothoth knows everything. 】

[The past is with Him, the present is with Him, and the future is with Him. 】

[For everything is in Yog-Sothoth. 】

[Oh, praise the omniscience, praise the omniscience. 】

[Oh, praise Him who unites all things past, future, and present. 】

[Oh, praise the One that exists in all time and space. 】

Just when the last word fell, Zhu Zheng suddenly felt his heart twitching and the pores all over his body stood up.

He raised his head subconsciously.

It seemed that just now, some indescribable and indescribable existence inadvertently cast an inadvertent glance at him.

Zhu Zheng stood stunned for a long time before the palpitations slowly dissipated.

What happened just now...

But his questions were destined to remain unanswered.

At this time, he noticed lines of text floating in front of him.

[Name: Yog-Sothoth’s Guidance. 】

[Explanation: Yog-Sothoth knows everything. If you can please him, he will give you the direction to gain knowledge as a reward. 】

[Note: Flesh and soul are common sacrifices to please the gods, but they are not the only ones. 】

[Level: five stars. 】

[Evaluation: Excessive pursuit of knowledge usually leads to disastrous consequences. 】

Zhu Zheng's eyes flashed.

“So that’s how it is”

Yog-Sothoth's pointer does not point to a direction in the usual sense, but to the direction of acquiring knowledge.

The four-colored pointers, white, yellow, red, and black, respectively correspond to wishes of different difficulty and intensity. Different sacrifices require different pointers that can be used.

And Zhu Zheng had a vague guess in his mind.

Nan Nan's father used this prop to make a wish for a solution to flesh and blood distortion.

But because the sacrifices were not enough, he ended up with a silver dagger.

Perhaps it is because of this relationship that the silver dagger is responsive to [Yog-Sothoth’s guidance].

This also led to Zhu Zheng finally getting this magical prop.

After thinking for a while, he took out the letter from the hole.

He had a hunch that the content of this letter might be able to answer his questions.

Zhu Zheng opened the envelope and took out the letter paper from inside.

The writing on it is very clear, but many of the writings seem to have been deliberately erased and cannot be seen clearly.

Turned on the desk lamp in the study room.

Zhu Zheng read carefully by the light.

[Daughter, as you can see, this is a suicide note from your poor father. 】

[I shouldn’t have recorded these things because I didn’t want anyone to continue to know about these things, but I had no choice. I had no one to talk to, so I could only record these things on paper. 】

[When you regain your senses and read this letter, I hope you will live bravely with our expectations. 】
