章節 138: Chapter 138: Successful Promotion!

Aughra?!

Liu Xing looked at Aughra in surprise. He hadn't expected Aughra to personally intervene.

In Liu Xing's plan, Aughra was supposed to directly possess Jigu or Ghoul Elder and then resolve the relevant issues.

But now, Aughra had come directly here, clearly intending to cause trouble.

"Who are you? How did you get in?" Caesar asked Aughra, a bit surprised, considering the church entrance was blocked by over a hundred Ghouls.

Aughra shrugged, smiling, "I'm just a delivery person, so I came in directly."

Caesar was irritated by Aughra's words, completely ignoring the handguns pointed at him. He pushed aside Silvia and Ai Mei standing in front of him, walked up to Aughra, and said, "What's with your attitude? I'm asking you a question, not joking."

Caesar was about to get into trouble.

Liu Xing sighed helplessly; Caesar was too impulsive. He dared to confront Nyarlathotep's incarnation, Aughra, directly. Even if Caesar couldn't recognize Aughra's voice, he should have known that Aughra wasn't an ordinary person. After all, Caesar knew there were over a hundred Ghouls outside the church. Now, Aughra could walk into the church unharmed, indicating that Aughra was not someone to be trifled with.

However, at this point, Liu Xing suddenly noticed that Silvia and the others had lost their vitality in their eyes. They stood motionless, not even a strand of their hanging hair moved.

Clearly, Aughra had started "maintenance mode" again.

"Hehe."

Aughra chuckled lightly, and Caesar instantly vanished!

Liu Xing's mind shook; he knew Aughra was using this to warn others.

"Alright, the annoying guy has disappeared now. Dear players, it's time for us to have a good chat," Aughra said, walking over.

"You should know my name—Aughra. You should also know my true name—Nyarlathotep. So, I hope you can call me Nyarlathotep. After all, according to your human customs, when addressing deputy directors, assistant managers, and similar positions, you like to omit the 'deputy' to show respect." Aughra gestured casually, and Silvia and the others silently left the church.

But come to think of it, Liu Xing felt that Aughra was breaking the game's rules?!

After all, Liu Xing knew that Aughra was the incarnation of Nyarlathotep, but "Liu Xing" didn't know that. So, logically speaking, Aughra's words were bordering on breaking the game.

"Hehe, what I just said did indeed break the game's rules, but so what? I am Aughra, the incarnation of the Outer God Nyarlathotep. Some rules don't apply to me, so rest assured. Now, you can consider this promotion game over; you've all successfully cleared it," Aughra said, approaching Liu Xing's group with a smile.

"KP, Aughra, oh no, it should be Nyarlathotep. Is what it said true?" Pei Si contacted KP Luo Luo with doubt.

"Of course, Aughra's rank in the Cthulhu Role-Playing Game Hall is much higher than mine. It has the complete authority to decide whether a game continues or not. So, since Aughra has said so, congratulations to all players for successfully passing this promotion game. You have officially advanced from the Ghoul area to the Shoggoth area. As for the rewards for completing the game, they will be distributed after you have finished interacting with Aughra."

Liu Xing could sense a hint of helplessness in KP Luo Luo's tone.

"Haha, Luo Luo, you're being a bit too particular. Although I ended the game you were hosting prematurely, I will definitely compensate you. After all, you know I'm Aughra, a straightforward person, different from Black Pharaoh and the others." Aughra said with a smile.

Black Pharaoh, also an incarnation of Nyarlathotep, is portrayed as an arrogant pharaoh in ancient Egyptian attire.

"Uh, Mr. Nyarlathotep, is there something you're looking for by coming to us now?" Ai Mei asked cautiously.

Aughra pointed at Liu Xing and said, "No need to be so tense. Just call me Nyarlathotep directly, without adding any formalities like 'Mr.' As for why I personally intervened, you should ask Liu Xing. He's the one who forced me to come out."

Liu Xing chuckled, knowing he had made the right gamble this time. "Mr. Nyarlathotep, you're overestimating me. I just stumbled into this situation."

"Oh, forget it. Call me whatever you want. Since Liu Xing is so modest, let me explain. Originally, the plot between Jigu and Ghoul Elder was a bug. They weren't supposed to have much interaction, but due to my momentary mistake, this absurd plotline emerged. It severely affected your upcoming plot, so I planned to control Jigu to end this subplot. Unexpectedly, Liu Xing played a hand, forcing me to intervene personally and conclude this promotion game." Aughra still had a smile on his face, but Liu Xing's back was already soaked.

Liu Xing felt a bit lost now. When he schemed against Aughra initially, he hadn't considered that Aughra had the authority to directly end the promotion game. According to KP Luo Luo, Aughra's permissions were even more extensive.

For example, directly erasing him!

Aughra looked at Liu Xing, saying with a smile, "Liu Xing, don't overthink it. I'm not like Blood Howl, an unreasonable incarnation. It's a good thing you pointed out my mistake. How could I possibly retaliate against you? Besides, I have a little gift for you. Receive it from the gift center after you exit the game."

Upon hearing Aughra's words, Liu Xing felt relieved. After all, as an incarnation of Nyarlathotep, Aughra wouldn't deceive a mere human like him for no reason.

But speaking of which, Liu Xing found Aughra quite interesting. He seemed to enjoy teasing his "brothers" — Aughra, Black Pharaoh, and Blood Howl are all incarnations of Nyarlathotep and, logically, should be considered brothers.

"Alright, I won't waste your time any longer. Let me summarize. Due to my negligence, the players' gaming experience was extremely poor. So, in addition to the regular rewards, I'll compensate each player with a one-time random spell card. I hope you all like it." As Aughra finished speaking, a small black card appeared in Liu Xing's hand.
