I Became a Genius Mage in the Cthulhu Game - Chapter 461
Only Ranovel
Chapter 461
Episode 461: Easy and simple method
I almost fell.
“W-Whaaaat?!”
A scream that comes from both the snake and the snake simultaneously.
“hey!” “Ugh-” “Eh!?” “wait for a sec!”
The initiative of the body going back and forth in a dizzying manner.
“I understand-” “I understand!” “okay!”
What kind of crazy is this? In the end, it was agreed that I would take the lead, and I cast some magic and simultaneously moved my tentacles to anchor myself to the tree branch.
Once my condition stabilized, I could see my surroundings.
“Ugh. shit. “What the hell?”
My body was on top of a tree at a great height. It is not a tree of ordinary shape.
A tree that could serve as a foundation for any mountain.
A thick gold string and a piece of five-colored cloth wrapped around a tree. And a talisman. My magic contained in all of that.
“Why were you in a place like this?”
This is still Jangmyeong Mountain. To be exact, on the outskirts of Jangmyeong Mountain.
It is one of the trees that served as the core of the wide-area barrier installed to prevent people living nearby from accidentally accessing the area around the mansion.
“Then where are you going? Kongsuni and her subordinates are still wandering around the mansion.”
Well, no matter who controls the body, there won’t be much change in the charm stat itself.
“Can I just go home?”
“I don’t really want to go in… … .”
What does this mean again?
This is not an issue that can be overlooked. Maybe my symptoms are also contagious to snakes.
There is no need to say it again. I asked the snake that question directly.
“No, it has nothing to do with that. “I just don’t want to see Heo Sang-hyeon and Jang Hyeon-deok for the time being.”
“so why? “You have to tell me the reason so I can make a decision.”
If you don’t like it for no reason – it’s most likely due to insanity.
“… … I don’t want to talk. But it’s definitely not because of your phobia. I can go in there. and… … You in the first place. “Wouldn’t it have been difficult if I had stayed home?”
“If you were home… … ? “What happens when you go home?”
“oh… … . Shinhwa Kim, listen carefully. I mean, it’s called home. To isolate oneself from the external environment-”
The snake explained in a tone that was closer to ‘listen carefully, you idiot’ rather than being kind, and I hastily ended the conversation.
The discomfort caused by madness to others was not important. The inside of the mansion is a closed space.
“Ah, damn it. “It’s creepy, so it’s okay if you don’t explain any further.”

[Green: Dreaming from the depths.]
The [Mansionphobia] you mentioned is included in the madness that can be given to a feast sacrifice.
However, please understand that by asking me directly you will not be able to determine what madness has been granted to the current feast sacrifice.
[Green: Dreaming from the depths.]
Yes, because this is a different rule from last time. The offerings at this dinner will be conducted according to the revised rules.
* * *
I carefully flew to the mansion, activating a spell to lower my presence.
Ae-ong- Iwewoong-
Nyaa-
There are a significant number of cats spread out around the mansion. In the past, there were cats that often came and lounged around the mansion, but now… … .
Weik- Aung-
Way-way-way- mya-
A strangely large number, to be sure.
Why are you hanging around because you want to have a better relationship with me? … . My head hurts in many ways.
“Luckily there is no Kongsuni.”
In [Cthulhu World], there is no concept of [ordinary cat]. Because all cats are descendants of the [King of the Cat Country]. But even so, those guys can be easily avoided.
“Are you really okay?”
“what?”
“When I get home-”
“Oh, you remember that?”
And I’m not doing this to get into the house. All you need to do is take a few items from home. I also have something to say with Heo Sang-hyun and Jang Hyeon-deok.
“How can you be confident when you’ve even forgotten what day is?”
“Not to that extent this time. I haven’t forgotten the concept itself. “Conditions related to the airtightness and system are clearly emerging.”
[Cthulhu World] has a system to check whether a specific place is sealed, the light source, and the time of day of the NPC. There must be such a standard in order to refer to the occurrence of hiding or confusion of a specific target.
“okay? Why can I remember this time? “Is this a completely new pattern?”
Actually, [sunphobia] must have impressed the snake the most.
“That’s not right. Even when I had rat phobia or 13 phobia, I knew what it was.”
It’s just that it’s become difficult to remember where and when it appears.
“Maybe this time it’s better because it’s not a delirium that causes amnesia.”
When I had fish phobia, it was clearly [confusion – amnesia]. When you have solar phobia… … . It doesn’t exactly match the situation, but it would have been [Confusion – Multiple Personality].
“Is that any different? “Multiple personalities have been around for a long time, right?”
[Confusion – Multiple Personality: Control of the body is lost to another personality for a certain period of time. I can’t remember what happened while the initiative was taken away.]
“I’ve had the initiative taken away several times before-”
“… … But there was no one who could have taken it away as easily as you. And what about now?”
“hmm… … .”
Why was I able to entrust my body to a snake?
Because the current snake does not have that much influence. Now I can take the initiative from a snake without much effort.
“But that alone doesn’t fully explain what happened to you.”
“Huh, I agree with that. But let’s move on from that for now. “Because the game’s information has never been 100% reproduced anyway.”
There might be a secret I haven’t discovered yet.
I was lost in thought for a moment, and in the meantime, the snake began to freely say what it wanted to say.
“Okay, now that I think about it, there’s a simple solution.”
“solution?”
“Kim Shin-hwa, hurry and enter the mansion. Then I will immediately get rid of the madness that has arisen.”
Just a little while ago, they told me not to go in, but now they are starting to tell me to go in again.
“I want to hear what you think before making a decision?”
“Whether the pattern changes or not, there are parts that remain, right?”
“For example?”
“If I, instead of you, destroyed the sun – think about how your madness would be unleashed.”
“aha?”
“So, first go into the mansion. If you go mad, I will destroy the mansion. “It’s simple, right?”
* * *
[Green: Dreaming from the depths.]
You don’t have to worry about that. It won’t be resolved that easily.
* * *
I hurriedly landed on the roof, but not to follow the snake’s suggestion.
An overwhelming feeling of nausea and disgust. Dizziness.
Because it was no longer possible to maintain flight status. However, the snake seemed to not be able to sense my condition and continued saying terrible things as if it was excited.
“Why didn’t you use this method earlier? Well, there was no one I could trust. Come on, come on in. I think it would be a good idea to go to the basement just to be sure. You might lose your mind in the flow – trust me. “When you open your eyes, everything will be fine.”
An ominous and terrible sound. Mad joy. Illogical. gibberish. evil plan. Malicious intent to leave me defenseless and then take over my body.
“that… … . “Are you saying this in your right mind?”
“what?”
Someone once said he would cut off my limbs for exactly this feeling. He was clearly trying to help me in good faith, but it was an offer I couldn’t accept.
“Are you sure that your judgment is completely your own, free from external contamination?”
“What are you talking about? This madness has nothing to do with me. And this time, there is still no personality taking on the aftermath of madness on your behalf. So this madness is still yours alone.”
“… … .”
“Ah, I understand why. Well, it won’t be easy to approach. I think it would have been the right decision for me to move in while you were away. Then hand the initiative over to me. I-”
I took control of my mouth.
‘What are you doing? The thought ‘Kim Shin-hwa?’ rang in my head, but only for a moment.
“I’m sorry, but I’m going down for a moment.”
And I-
* * *
[Green: Dreaming from the depths.]
I’m glad you’re happy.
All the good intentions that come to you will seem like malice aimed at destroying you, or foolishness caught up in wrongful desires.
The real [isolation] starts now.
[Yellow: Stroking the mask.]
Yes, you can do that.
* * *
Jang Hyeon-deok suddenly remembered a certain memory.
A little old memory.
House of Hope. Beautifully fluttering flower petals. Shoes left on the floor without an owner. A place that was eerily quiet.
A place where everything you thought was precious was destroyed in an instant.
And again, Jang Hyeon-deok suddenly remembered a certain memory.
A little more recent memory again.
Osong. A collapse that felt like heaven and earth were turning over. Madmen running wild like hungry ghosts. Surreal monster. And Kim Shin-hwa, who was buried among the trash in a miserable state.
“why? why? Why is this happening to me? Why? Why does this happen? why? Just for me? Why? What’s wrong with me?』
Is this Jang Hyeon-deok’s idea? Or is it someone else whispering to Jang Hyeon-deok?
It’s hard to tell.
Jang Hyeon-deok has long been unable to distinguish between his own thoughts and the thoughts of others.
Most children from House of Hope are like that. They were taught not to refuse suggestions and requests from others. Oh, they usually call it brainwashing, not education?
Rattling- rattling-
Jang Hyeon-deok suddenly heard a strange sound somewhere in the house.
『I feel better when I hear that sound. I want to get a little closer.』
Jang Hyeon-deok gets up from his seat according to the thoughts that come to his mind. For a moment, Heo Sang-hyun is seen holding his head in the restaurant, but he ignores it and slowly goes up to this floor.
『As expected, I have a problem. I know very well what the problem is. I am cursed. I attracted the beings of the abyss. Because of me, the house of my hope disappeared.』
This level of direction is sufficient.
This is a problem that Jang Hyeon-deok himself has been thinking about for a long time.
The light doubts that started rolling around in my head soon grew at an incredible speed, swallowing up other memories as well.
‘Okay, if you think about it… … . I dragged the wizard into Tanhyeon.’
『It was. There, Kim Shin-hwa met a monster. at that time-”
‘The wizard almost died.’
『What was it like in Sejong City?』
Those monsters were brought in by Kim Shin-hwa, and Sejong City was also destroyed by Kim Shin-hwa –
‘Giant monsters followed me and destroyed Sejong City.’
Jang Hyeon-deok’s memories are so easily distorted.
『In Busan?』
‘Something terrible happened in Busan.’
“I remember? “I was the one who brought you to Busan, right?”
‘I?’
“okay. You asked Kim Shin-hwa for revenge, right? Because of that, Kim Shin-hwa almost died several times in Busan.』
Rattling- rattling-
『But what about me?』
‘me?’
『Okay, what about me?』
‘I-I’m kind of handsome…’ … .’
A green laugh is heard from somewhere. But the bright yellow whisper continues patiently.
『I couldn’t do anything in Osong. Everyone there did amazing things, but I couldn’t. I couldn’t use magic properly. It caused a lot of problems. If I hadn’t done that, the wizard wouldn’t have been hurt. it is not so?”
Rattling- rattling-
‘Yes, that’s right. The wizard taught me magic and gave me artifacts, but I couldn’t do anything.’
『Do you need strength? Do you want to become stronger? With powerful magic, it can exert enormous influence on the world, destroy everything that gets in its way, overwhelm even the beings of the abyss, and have the power to surprise even Kim Shin-hwa.』
It’s a common cliché, but it’s a method that has worked so well that it has become a cliché.
Rattling- rattling-
Before we know it, Jang Hyeon-deok is in Kim Shin-hwa’s room.
Masks of strange shapes. Among them, a very attractive mask catches the eye.
‘uh… … . That… … .’
This is a mask used by Heein, one of the judges of Hwangrim Church.
An object containing the influence of the [King in Yellow Clothes].
『It’s attractive. I think I will be able to gain great power if I wear this mask.』
Again, Hyeondeok Jang has poor ability to distinguish between his own thoughts and the thoughts of others.
The House of Hope is an infrastructure that exists for the convenience of beings of the abyss. We provide pre-processed tools so that the beings of the abyss can easily use them at any time.
In the end, Jang Hyeon-deok slowly stretched out his hand without much resistance-
At that moment, with a loud roar, the mansion… … ?
separately… … ?
* * *
A mansion divided into left and right sides like a large toy house. And inside, Jang Hyeon-deok is looking at me with a surprised expression.
I screamed without stopping.
“Jang Hyeon-deok, you idiot! “Don’t touch my mask!”
