Chapter 150: Schaugnar Fagern

"This 'Necronomicon' seems to be a pirated copy, and it's in simplified Chinese, printed no less." Liu Xing glanced at the 'Necronomicon' in Wu Wei's hands and couldn't help but comment.

As Liu Xing pointed out, the 'Necronomicon' in Wu Wei's hands was actually a printed book in simplified Chinese. Liu Xing even thought it looked like one of those pirated complete novels you find on street stalls.

"This must be for a joke. I remember the 'Necronomicon' should only exist in Arabic, Duriac, Greek, Latin, and English versions. Moreover, the versions in the latter languages are considered incomplete. Of course, there are some miscellaneous handwritten copies, but I've never heard of a simplified Chinese version of the 'Necronomicon'," Addison complained.

At this point, KP Ghost also spoke up, saying, "Um, well, this simplified Chinese 'Necronomicon' is indeed an official version of the 'Necronomicon.' After reading it, you can gain knowledge of the Cthulhu Mythos. However, the reason it's in simplified Chinese is just someone's quirky sense of humor. That guy had nothing better to do and translated this 'Necronomicon,' along with things like the 'Voynich Manuscript,' into simplified Chinese."

Liu Xing raised an eyebrow, vaguely guessing who that "someone" KP Ghost mentioned might be.

"Alright, you can choose to decipher this 'Necronomicon' now, but it will take a considerable amount of time and effort. I assume you're aware this is a time-limited module, right?" KP Ghost, unusually informal, remarked.

Liu Xing and Addison exchanged a glance, then smiled at KP Ghost. "KP, I have a question for you. How long do we have for this module? It would be nice to have an idea."

KP Ghost remained silent for a moment, then thoughtfully said, "Um, telling you the specific time limit for this module shouldn't be a problem. Since you don't have any timekeeping tools right now, well, I'll tell you. There are fifty-one minutes left until the end of this module. Please make the most of your time."

Liu Xing chuckled. Although they didn't have a phone or a watch on their side, the bowl of soup on the table served as a decent "timer." After all, they could estimate the remaining time by the steam rising from the soup. If the soup cooled down, it meant Liu Xing and the others were out of time.

"Alright, let's not worry about this 'Necronomicon' for now. We're using disposable character cards, so it's impossible to take this 'Necronomicon' with us," Wu Wei said, placing the 'Necronomicon' casually on the pile of books.

Liu Xing, 35/50, success.

"Lucky break. Liu Xing, you've found a book on the shelf without a label, and it looks out of place compared to the other books," KP Ghost said, and as his words fell, a black-bound book on the shelf emitted an eerie blue light.

Liu Xing reached out and took down this black-bound book, which turned out to be a thin booklet, seemingly only thirty or so pages. However, it was not light; Liu Xing felt like this small booklet weighed around ten kilograms!

"What's going on?"

Liu Xing, somewhat puzzled, opened the book and saw an illustration – a giant with an elephant head.

"Could this be Schaugnar Fagern?" Liu Xing said uncertainly.

The Horror in the Mountains—Schaugnar Fagern is one of the Great Old Ones, having an elephant head similar to the elephant-headed gods in Hinduism. However, Schaugnar Fagern's ears have tentacles and flaps of flesh, and its "trunk" is an organ used to absorb blood.

Schaugnar Fagern came to Earth in the Devonian period but has been in a dormant state like a stone statue. It can only awaken after absorbing enough human blood. However, in modern times, Schaugnar Fagern still slumbers beneath XZ's "Weave Plateau" (an area with channels connecting dream dimensions).

Although Schaugnar Fagern has been in a dormant state, it is the embodiment of time. Therefore, it can take away human time to extend its own lifespan.
