Restraint Card Creator

Well, I have time-traveled? Here?

Ever since Li Ming opened his eyes, the feeling of suffocation has not stopped for a moment.

In the gloomy and humid underwater prison, dim green lights emerged one after another outside the transparent walls, and the sparkling water color distorted everything outside the prison.

A long-dried skeleton was nailed to the surrounding walls, mixed with a strong rancid smell. He and another seemingly lifeless old man became Li Ming's only cellmates.

A few fish were wandering outside the water prison, but the next moment, a fish monster guard with a body length of nearly five meters suddenly attacked. It showed its sharp teeth and swallowed the group of weak fish into its stomach.

Afterwards, the fish monster glanced at where Li Ming was. Its eyes were red and deep, hiding horror and ferocity.

Just looking at him made Li Ming shiver with horror.

It's okay to travel through time, but what kind of start is this?

A few minutes ago, he was a myth researcher.

Today, he originally ordered a book of myths written in Latin online, but he never thought that he would be sent flying more than ten meters by a dump truck on the way to pick up the goods.

When he woke up again, he was already trapped in this weird water prison.

What is this called!

Being under the deep sea, the accompanying suffocation made Li Ming feel weak all over his body. The pain of almost suffocation hit his brain instantly, as if thousands of ants were gnawing at his brain nerves.

As the headache gradually worsened, memories that did not belong to him flooded in one after another.

A few minutes later, Li Ming, who was dying from a headache, finally figured out the ins and outs of the matter.

I see, I'm still Li Ming... My current body is my counterpart in this world in different time and space.

But the history of this world, why do you feel that there are billions of points outrageous?

According to my memory in this world, this planet is called Blue Star, and its historical trajectory is roughly the same as my previous life.

The only difference is that about two hundred years ago, a powerful consciousness merged with this world, and the history of this world was also deflected.

In the first hundred years, many mysterious secret realms appeared all over the world, in which many vicious and evil creatures lived.

With the gradual exploration of the secret realm, people found that if they defeated the evil in the secret realm, they could get a card containing energy, which was later the material card.

By integrating material cards into the sea of ​​consciousness, compiling stories, drawing card faces, and filling in settings, a variety of cards can be produced, and this profession was later collectively referred to as card maker.

In modern society, cards have already been integrated into all aspects of human civilization. Travel, work, and daily life are full of cards.

It is also for this reason that the social status of a card maker is extremely high.

But card creators are not without barriers. To make a card, you need mental power and imagination far beyond ordinary people, as well as enough material cards.

Then formulate rules for your own cards, set the background story, integrate materials, determine the system, supplement the settings, draw the card surface, and finally pass the approval of world consciousness to successfully create the card.

Therefore, world awareness is also dubbed card inspector by many people.

In this world, Li Ming is a student with the talent of a card maker, but because his family is poor and cash-strapped, he has no material cards to use after thinking up the story, so he has to go to the underground black market in Xingzhu City to try his luck.

As a result, the material card was not retrieved, but the mind was captured by the cult lurking in Xingzhu City and used as a sacrifice.

The day of sacrifice is tomorrow!

After reading the memories of his predecessor, Li Ming felt that his CPU was a little unacceptable for a while.

He would rather be caught and killed in northern Burma than be sacrificed to some evil god tomorrow! !

At this time, he was in an underwater prison, not to mention that he couldn't swim at all, even if he could escape, those fish monsters outside could tear him to pieces in an instant.

There is a letter written all over the body.

Little brother, if you come, you will be at ease. Anyway, there is still one day, otherwise let's chat before dying?

On the side, the old man covered in bruises suddenly opened his eyes and spoke, which really shocked Li Ming.

Good guy, it's a scam!

Just now, seeing that the old man was covered with wounds, and even the blood scabs had solidified, I thought he was already dead.

Didn't expect to be alive?

Li Ming seemed to be grasping at straws, and quickly asked, Mr., do you know how to get out from here?

If I knew, would I still be here?

The old man smiled and shook his head. His leg bones seemed to have been broken, and he simply showed a bearish look on life and death.

Don't even think about running away. Our cards have been taken away. You don't want to use the body of the card maker to fight those cult members who have cards, do you?

As he said that, he also revealed the injury on his chest. What was revealed was the broken chips that penetrated into the bone and the tear wound that had not healed, and he could even clearly see every movement of the internal organs.

Just looking at the terrifying crack in the old man's chest made Li Ming feel as if his heart stopped beating for a moment.

See, I've been labeled like this as a professional card maker. Judging by your appearance, I guess you're not even a trainee card maker.

Anyway, don't even think about escaping, why don't you come and chat with me.

Li Ming really couldn't learn that kind of attitude of wanting nothing and taking it indifferently.

Funny! ! !

Li Ming still didn't give up, and asked, What about the investigators in Xingzhu City? The cultists are offering sacrifices here, so they should send someone to rescue us, right?

Oh, I'm that investigator. The old man grinned.

Li Ming: ...

I am stupid! !

What a start! !

What the hell, I've only been in this world for a few minutes, and you told me that a traveler only has one day left in his life? ?

What a joke! !

He forcibly suppressed the uneasiness in his heart, sat cross-legged on the ground and sorted out the memories in his mind, thinking about the way to break the situation.

The problem of the water prison is easy to solve, the key is the few fish monsters outside and the cards in the hands of the cultists.

And the combat power of a card maker comes from cards. If he wants to escape from here, he can only make cards.

As a trainee card maker (not yet full), Li Ming has a good understanding of the card making process, although he has never made cards.

It was just making up a story. Originally, Li Ming was thinking that he had read so many novels and learned so many myths, so he could more or less sew a world view, and even just copied it.

But after confirming the card making rules, this road was basically blocked directly.

Those fairy tales that already existed in the human world cannot be used for card making, so for card creators, the most difficult thing is to make up stories.

As a card reviewer, the consciousness card review is extremely strict. If you want to make those original mythical characters, you will simply fail the review!

Even the original people in this world, most of the cards they made just dared to use those myths as the background to weave some small stories in them.

For example, some people will use folk tales as the background and make up some stories of their own to make cards.

This is a bit difficult.

Li Ming didn't want to let go of so much knowledge about myths in his previous life, but to make up those little stories himself.

Since there are two hundred years of different histories, there must be cultural deviations!

Although human beings are no longer fond of fantasy worlds since the Industrial Revolution, there may also be options available to Li Ming!

Fortunately, in order to avoid being judged for plagiarism and also for reference for inspiration, the predecessor has a good understanding of various mythological systems.

You only need to compare the world view that does not exist in the memory of your predecessor...

First of all, the combat power should not be too weak, at least it must be able to blow up the fish monsters outside, and it is best to exaggerate the ceiling combat power...

The myth of Nahuatl... no... there is...

Andean mythology... No, there are also...

At this time, Li Ming's brain was running fast, and one fairy tale after another flashed through his mind.

When human civilization was still ignorant, many earth-shattering myths were created.

But as humans become more and more aware of the truth of the starry sky, their imaginations seem to be lacking, and those earth-shattering myths and stories are much less.

But this does not mean that human imagination is exhausted.

Finally, after nearly half an hour of thinking, a myth system born in the Roaring Twenties emerged in Li Ming's mind.

Cthulhu Mythos!
