Chapter 673: Chapter 499 Miskatonic University_1 Chapter 673: Chapter 499 Miskatonic University_1 Miskatonic University.
In this world, this is a university that enjoys a great reputation among the players. It boasts world-class majors in fields like archaeology, mysticism, history, and psychology. Not only that, in the library of Miskatonic University, there are the most famous sorcerer books, including the most original version of the “Book of the Dead” that the players covet.
Besides, the museum of Miskatonic University also carries treasures of incalculable value, including jewels from R'lyeh, oddities from the Dreamlands, and even artifacts from Egypt related to Nyar.
For players, Miskatonic University is not just a university.
It's more like a treasury, a bank!
All those treasures hidden inside, just waiting for them to explore!
Yes, for the players, a university like Miskatonic University, which serves as a bank and treasury, is indeed the treasure they long for the most!
Apart from anything else, just the library of Miskatonic University has made a bunch of players drooling.
Do they want the “Book of the Dead”?
Do they crave the “King in Yellow”?
Are they after the “Secrets of the Worm”?
Do they desire the “Necronomicon”?
Do they yearn for the “R'lyeh Text”?
…… enough, they can't go on. Just seeing these book titles makes them drool.
To an extent that they can't control.
Normally, such a place would surely attract players like bees to honey, causing more havoc than in Innsmouth. But this isn't the case. There are two reasons for this.
First, the security at Miskatonic University is extremely tight, once the average person enters, they can't get out.
Second, you risk your life to get these books, and you risk your life to use them!
Of course, this wouldn't be a big problem for Duanmu Huai. After all, he possesses the genetic traits of the Shadow Crow Guard and even bears the Heart of the Blood Raven.
What's that saying?
Knowledge is power!
Let us guard it!
Yes, as a Judge who has inherited the Heart of the Blood Raven, what's wrong with Duanmu Huai borrowing a few books?
Can the Judge's actions be considered stealing?
However, Duanmu Huai doesn't plan to take any action.
The reason is very simple. You risk your life to get these books, but you don't necessarily have the life to use them!
You must be aware that the judges have enough trouble dealing with the Subspace Evil Gods of the Milky Way, so to take these evil books to provoke the Outer Gods of the universe is just looking for trouble.
Of course, it's not that no Judge has contemplated controlling wolves and tigers, such as pitting Cunning Deception against Nyar… However, for most Judges, they would rather consider this as a last resort.
After all, it wouldn't be a good thing for humans, no matter who wins.
And furthermore, strictly speaking, quite a few players feel that Evil Gods have little chance of victory against Outer Gods.
Although the two sides have never directly confronted each other, many investigators who are also Judges think so.
The reason is simple.
The Evil Gods are ultimately Subspace Creatures that can only “indirectly” affect the creatures in the real world through the Subspace. In simple terms, all the disciples who believe in the Evil Gods are only corrupted by them in the real world, and they begin to perform some evil blasphemous rituals on their own, which then weakens the boundary between the real world and the Subspace, allowing the Evil Gods to send their minions to party.
But the Outer Gods are different. Their bodies exist simultaneously in the Subspace and the real world. This is why many people can sense the thoughts of the Outer Gods through dreams or unintentional mental encounters. Also, the Outer Gods aren't too bothered about having disciples because their power is strong enough already. They don't need to entice and temp mortals into depravity to collect their souls and strengthen themselves, like the Evil Gods do.
In addition, the mental cues of the Outer Gods are more like mental pollution. They don't convert steadfast disciples into depravity, but directly destroy their sanity, turning them into fragments of madness.
As everyone knows, destruction is much easier than construction. You as an Evil God can certainly try every means to corrupt humans and have them bow at your feet as your disciples. Then maybe your disciple looks at an Outer God and goes mad on the spot. They don't need your disciple, but simply drive them into insane collapse, what can you do about that?
So compared to the Evil Gods, everyone is more afraid of the Outer Gods.
Though there once was a Judge who let out harsh words, stating that if humans can't defeat the Evil Gods, he would go to the Eye of Chaos to summon Azathoth…
Of course, it was just a statement. If you fight the Chaos Evil God, you still have a glimmer of hope. If you really summon Azathoth, then everyone can just wait for their doom.
Therefore, Duanmu Huai behaves very obediently in this prestigious university. Even when he sees the library of Miskatonic University not far away, he doesn't plan to have a look around–it's not the time yet.
Not to mention that the Miskatonic University library has a dog guarding the door that can bite off the offspring of Outer Gods… it's better not to provoke them.
After the incident at the museum that night, Anthony first called for someone to remove the bodies of those creatures, then thoroughly cremated them. Afterwards, he and Duanmu Huai came to Miskatonic University in Arkham City to investigate a person named Kristin.
“Ah… Kristin… I remember her.”
Sitting in front of Duanmu Huai and Anthony is the Director of the Art Department of Miskatonic University. He appears very prosperous, with a smooth, bald head. The pipe in his hand gives him some of the aura of an artist.
