No.188 The call of Cthulhu

At around 1 o'clock in the afternoon, after accepting the commission of Megumi Juma, in order to have a more comprehensive understanding of the clues, Ye Yifan plunged into the archives of the deep-sea base alone, while Megumi Juma went to prepare for the final adjustment before the mission set off.

Perhaps because of the catastrophe in Shimmer City in recent days, most of the people in the TPC Deep Sea Base went to assist the Ministry of Construction in rebuilding Shimmer City, so there were only some people in key positions left in the base, some of them were deserted, and Ye Yifan was even more alone in the archives.

Checking the information on the computer, the screen is playing the final battle between Ultraman Tiga and Gatanjee, the Dark Dominator. When he saw that the former Ultraman Tiga was turned into a stone statue by Gatanjee, and then transformed into a shining Tiga with the help of people's brilliance, Ye Yifan's heart was greatly touched.

Shining Tiga's status can easily defeat an Old Dominator, and although Gatanjee is not strong among the Old Dominators, it can still defeat itself, let alone its father Cthulhu.

Thinking of this, Ye Yifan couldn't help but sigh, if only it could also master the power of Shining Diga, so that the erosion might be lifted, and there was no need to be afraid of the old rulers. However, the conditions for the appearance of Shining Tiga are too harsh, and it requires the brilliance of people's righteous hope. Not to mention whether the current people can play this, Ye Yifan is not sure whether he can accept their light.

In addition to this, my authority is a little insufficient. Everything about Luluye is confidential, and the only thing that can be learned is the battle between Gatanjee and Ultraman Tiga, but this bit of information is not classified either, because this battle is compiled into the textbook, as long as an earthling knows. Ye Yifan still remembers that in high school, the teacher told them to learn from Ultraman Tiga......

But Luluye...... When Ultraman Tiga and Gatanjee were fighting, those ruins had not yet completely risen from the Pacific Ocean, and Ye Yifan could only see scattered and deformed strange buildings. With the help of the wisdom of the ancients, Ye Yifan felt that he had the style of Laleiye, but it was not like Lalaie, whose architecture was more exquisite than that of Luluye, and he would lose his mind as long as he saw it.

But Luluye's position is exactly the same as that of Laleiye, as for whether Laleiye is Luluye, Ye Yifan still needs to be verified.

In addition to this, there are also the ultra-ancient giants that Megumi Kuruma said. Why did the Old Ruler get involved with Ultraman Tiga? What kind of secret is Luluye hiding? Ye Yifan didn't know this at all, because the authority was not enough, he didn't even know how Ultraman Tiga was born, but he knew that Tiga had a relationship with the super ancient giants.

Luluye, Laleye, Cthulhu, Innsmouth, Ultra-Ancient Giants.....

There is still some intelligence missing, and it needs to be alerted. In this event, there is something that must be known, and it is almost blank, and if the ability of the primeval is used to go back in time and space to get a glimpse of the truth, the erosion will be aggravated.

"It's hard to ......" Ye Yifan rubbed his eyes tiredly, and when he opened it again, he saw Megumi enter the archive room, and at the same time handed a cup of tea to his desk.

"Thank you." Ye Yifan picked up the tea and took a sip, the hot feeling spread throughout his body, and his mental fatigue was also reduced.

Glancing at the information played on the computer, Megumi Middlea leaned on the computer desk and asked with a smile: "Just such a little information, do you still want to find a little clue?" ”

"Well, after all, if this thing is left alone, it could be a global outbreak of delirium. I have to know a little bit more about it, and that might alleviate a lot of sacrifices. After drinking tea, Ye Yifan continued to search for information, and his focused appearance didn't even blink his eyes.

Megumi looked at Ye Yifan's intent, and remembered the scene of their first meeting. At that time, Ye Yifan was not very mature, and now it has grown too much. Fortunately, it was allowed to join Neo-GUTS at that time, and Megumi Kurama felt with some emotion that it was the right choice she made.

"Deputy Superintendent ......"

Hearing Ye Yifan call himself, Megumi Kuruma hurriedly broke away from his thoughts and asked, "Huh?" What's wrong? ”

"The place where Ultraman Tiga and the evil god Gatanjee fought for the last time, why is it called Luluye? How did you get this codename? Ye Yifan asked suspiciously, he felt that it was not a coincidence that he called Lalaye Luluye, and the pronunciation of the two was too close. If TPC doesn't know about Lalleye, it can call Luluye something like XX Island, but why is it called Luluye?

This matter was only known to the TPC executives at the time, that is, Megumi Juma.

Megumi was silent for a while, and finally told the truth: "Because this incident happened a long time ago. ”

"Huh?"

Ye Yifan was a little surprised, and then asked, "What the hell is going on?" ”

Megumi sighed a little annoyed, as if she was very reluctant to tell the story: "In 1928, the ruins of Luluye also rose due to an earthquake, and at that time, mass delirium broke out on the Pacific coast. A scholar named Francis Wieland Thurston had been on Luluye. ”

"Five people went there, but only two people came back. Francis sealed up all information about Luluer and what he had seen on its ruins, and he died mysteriously for unknown reasons. TPC retrieved the data he had sealed up, and learned that he had called the ruins Luluye. ”

Then Megumi Kurama sighed with emotion: "Speaking of which, the establishment of TPC also has a lot to do with this matter. At that time, after the disbandment of the Earth Defense Force UNDF, such bizarre events broke out all over the world, and Director Sawai lobbied countries to lay down their arms and was founded to investigate such anomalous events in order to defend against alien invasion. ”

Ye Yifan was a little shocked after listening to Megumi Juma's description. Francis may have died because of his low San rating, or he was assassinated by Cthulhu-worshippers. In short, those events continued to occur in the 20th century, but fortunately, there were ancient predecessors who broke the prophecy, otherwise Ye Yifan didn't know if he would be born.

"Deputy Director." Ye Yifan looked at Megumi at this time, "Can you show me the information of Francis, maybe I can find a clue to write it." ”

Hearing this, Meguma Mizuma's face became expressionless, she thought for a while, and said in a hoarse voice: "I don't really want you to see it, because these materials involve some dark things...... People with high inspiration see it, and the consequences are unpredictable, especially if you are a highly inspired person. I'm going to think about your form, after all, you're the ace of Neo-GUTS right now. ”

Megumi still remembers the answer that Ye Yifan wrote at that time, and the terrifying roar after knowing the answer. Now it has experienced many bizarre events, and its San value is immeasurable, perhaps as low as a point, as evidenced by its graying hair.

"Deputy Director, if you don't even dare to show me the information, how can you guarantee that I can still be sane when I go to Innsmouth?" Ye Yifan knew Megumi's concerns, and he also had words to move him. "And after so many events, I would have gone to Arkham Asylum if I had gone mad. Now I still have the sanity to read the information, which shows that I can withstand these things. ”

Megumi was unable to refute this statement. Indeed, if you don't even show Ye Yifan the information, how can you guarantee that it can go to Innsmouth normally? After thinking about it, Megumi decided to show it this information, a document called "TheCallofCthulhu".

Megumi inserted her terminal into the computer, and the authority of the director of the TPC Intelligence Bureau instantly unlocked all the information left by Fernancis. Strange pictures and hateful descriptions suddenly caught Ye Yifan's eyes. If it weren't for being an Ancient, it would have dropped a lot of San value.

Ye Yifan looked at those materials, and there were no waves in his heart. Whether it's a relief depicting an undersea city, a strange and intricate statue, or a cultist's crazy and dark ritual, it doesn't blink its eyes, and that's the benefit of being an ancient.

And Megumi Juma couldn't help but shudder when she saw Ye Yifan's expressionless appearance, even if she was affected by some mental influence, she would definitely be impressed after reading it once, and she wouldn't go to see it a second time! And Ye Yifan's concentration really made Megumi doubt that he was still human?

In the blink of an eye, Megumi saw that Ye Yifan had already seen the end of the information, which read:

[This is the document I read, and now, I put it in the tin box, along with the bas-relief and Professor Anjie's papers.] And with it came my records—these are proofs of my sanity, putting everything together, but I hope no one will ever put them back together.

I've seen all the horrors, the horrors that the universe has had to hide, and the spring sky and the summer flowers have been like poison to me ever since. I feel like I'm going to die soon. Like my uncle and grandfather and poor Johansen, I will die. I know too much, and the sect is still alive.

Cthulhu is still alive, I guess it's back in the cracks in the stone that sheltered the sun when it was young. Its cursed city sank again, for the Vigilant had sailed through the waters after the April storm; But its priests on earth still roared, jumped, and killed around idol-worshipping monoliths in some remote places.

He must have been trapped in his own dark abyss as he sank, otherwise the whole world would have screamed in fear and madness. Who knows what will happen in the end? What rises may sink, and what sinks will rise. Abominations wait and dream in the abyss, and decay spreads and expands in the crumbling human city.

An era will come – but I don't want to think about it, and I can't think about it! I pray that if I fail to destroy this manuscript before I die, my executor will be careful not to act recklessly and not let it be exposed to the eyes of others. 】

After reading this information, Ye Yifan let out a long sigh. Perhaps Francis didn't know that the information he didn't want the world to see was completely exposed to the world. But this did not spread among the human cities, but gave them the courage to face the darkness.

This information is not just him, but also his grandfather Chammel, as well as the records of the Alarm sailors.

The whole information is not difficult to understand, Ye Yifan simply sorted it out, and it is probably such a thing.

First of all, the story begins after the death of Francis' grandfather, Camelle. His grandfather, Chammel, was professor emeritus at Brown University, and he had obtained a relief and a statue from a sculptor.

The relief depicts a glorious underwater city, and the statue is a slimy head with tentacles, and a monstrosity with scales and underneath is attached to a monster with undergrown wings.

That undersea city is called R'lyeh and the image of the statue is called Cthulhu.

Ye Yifan can be sure that Luluye is the undersea city of Lalaye when he knows about it. Both are spelled R'lyeh, and as for why TPC refers to L'lyeh as Luluyeh, it is because the word R'lyeh has no fixed translation, just a syllable. TPC can only simply spell the word Luluye, but to really translate it is the undersea city of Laleier.

As for the statue, the family died soon after, in delirium, shouting "R'lyeh" and "Cthulhu" all the time.

Professor Gamer was then asked to help investigate a moorland cult, and according to the sheriff at the time, they saw a horrific scene during the raid.

Countless mutilated, deformed, naked infidel barked like cattle, writhing wildly around the boiling flames. Countless blood-drenched, blood-blurred human corpses hung upside down from the ceiling, and the statue of Cthulhu was on the Ring of Fire Rock.

They were begging and weeping, and they kept muttering the same phrase in their mouths:

Ia! Ia! Cthulhufhtagn! Ia! Ia! Cthulhufhtagn!

Eventually, the group of infidels was killed, and at the same time, the cruise ship Vigilance in the Pacific discovered a maritime city. Later, after the Alert returned, three people died, and the remaining sailor, Johansen, brought back an abominable statue. Later, in order to get to the bottom of the beach, the owner who wrote the record, Ferrancis, went to Johansen's residence and obtained his sea logbook.

The journal depicts the undersea city of Lalleyer, and it depicts the observations of the sailor Johansen.

They ascended to the undersea city of Lalaye and met the Old Ruler Cthulhu. Three of his companions were scared to death by Cthulhu on the spot, and only he and another sailor left by the siren, but Cthulhu chased him out.

As for the description of Cthulhu, that is, an abominable monster with bat wings and a giant octopus head. Johansen knew that he couldn't outrun Cthulhu, so he actually made an extremely crazy decision - he turned on the alarm and crashed into Cthulhu's body several kilometers away!

Ye Yifan thought he was crazy when he saw him doing this, but who knew that he really relied on a cruise ship to smash the old dominator. Although he knew that Cthulhu was not dead, he ran back at full speed, but died soon after...... According to the play Francis, he may have been killed by a pagan.

And Francis, because he was too deeply involved in the Laleier incident, got the same fate as Johansen.....

You can feel how terrified Francis was when he wrote this material, so much so that the fonts were as weird and blurry as an octopus's tentacles.

But fortunately, Johansen's information, and his courage to drive the ship into Cthulhu, so that the world was not destroyed, and Cthulhu did not wake up.

But then, Ye Yifan felt that he had to completely solve Lalaye. After reading all the material again, he closed The Call of Cthulhu and embarked on a journey to Innsmouth with Megumi Kurama......
