After Mr. Michael understood the important relationship between the "old seal", "crowbar" and "friend", and not only understood its importance, but also deeply grasped the formula of flexible use between them——

Therefore, when I understand the truth of the simplicity of the avenue, I can't help but feel that my spirit is uplifted, and I feel that the seven meridians and eight veins are smooth, and the seven orifices are also opened six and a half, and even the ideological realm has been sublimated to a new level.

As a result, he broke through the first realm and entered the second realm, when he became a full-fledged investigator from a trainee investigator.

At the same time.

The United States was finally busy in the middle of the night, and I don't know what a huge amount of terror it had unleashed, and countless manpower and material resources were turned around with the will of the country as the core, and finally got what it wanted.

The speed is quite fast, but it is also understandable, after all, the orders issued from the top to the bottom are naturally a green light, even if someone really wants to make some small moves, Yang Feng Yin or open confrontation, will be directly run over by violent organs.

Then he would despair to find out what he had, including all his hard work, the connections he had worked so hard to manage, the faction he had grown, and the family background that he had inherited to this day...... And so on and so forth, and all of them will come to naught.

Maybe even he won't be seen again, never.

However, getting the result does not necessarily make people feel reassured, and perhaps it should actually be said that it is shocking or uncertain-

……

……

"According to the investigation, 13,272 different records have been uncovered so far, and the owners of these records have claimed to occasionally have some disturbing vague dreams at night, but no clear impressions......"

"There are also dreamers who admit that they have seen a very indescribable behemoth in their dreams and have felt extremely intense fear...... The main part of the dream is always some magnificent and terrifying scenery made of dark, damp stones......"

"But many more people are describing all meaningless gibberish, and we have extracted only the two most frequently repeated syllables, which are "Cthulhu" and "Lalayer" if we put them into words."

The secretary sat on the side, reporting so quickly.

He was picking out important and crucial words to help his boss better understand the file he was reading.

Sitting in the speeding car, MacDonald did not speak, but lowered his head to read the file in his hand with the help of the bright light, and the old man's expression became more and more strange and ugly.

Thirteen thousand two hundred and seventy-two different records! It's a five-digit number!

And this number is just a summary, and there are an astonishing amount of relevant materials involved behind it, and the sources are all over the United States...... And even that's far from the real number, because it's not been two months since the special agency on the mysterious side was revealed to the public.

Such a short period of time is not enough to establish a complete and perfect system, and it is impossible to say that it is seamlessly connected with various official institutions and channels large and small across the country.

Therefore, the number of reports, which seem to have come from a large-scale investigation, must be very inaccurate and have a considerable degree of omission...... But that's scary enough.

And it's only on a U.S. scale, not on a global scale, and it is conceivable that there are definitely not a few people who are affected by a certain evil god who is said to have died for eternity......

- However, it is also said that people with high inspiration may receive terrifying dreams of evil gods.

So no matter what the definition of this concept of "inspiration" is, and what the criteria for defining it are, when the base number of groups applicable to it reaches more than 7 billion, no matter how low the probability is, it will give rise to a surprising enough number.

MacDonald rubbed his forehead, closed the file in his hand, and let out another long sigh, feeling more and more powerless and heart failure.

The world is changing so fast that human beings really can't catch up!

Let's see what all this is all about—

In the past two months, more than a dozen artists of some fame have been found to have suddenly fallen into a frenzy, screaming that they had escaped some hellish thing and regained their freedom, and then were arrested in a mental hospital for doing so......

Many people suffer from a mysterious fever, sometimes unconscious, sometimes gibberish, and always alternating between these two states, and the feverish mind is full of strange imaginations, and when those things are spoken, the doctor involuntarily trembles all over his body......

Even some people who are engaged in scientific research, who are obviously quite rational, but are also affected, have dreamed very grotesque things, and during the time of their insanity, these dreams have become extremely intense......

What's more, madness to claim that he predicted a terrible future based on the hallucinations he had seen;

Others claimed that they had received the apocalypse, pulled up a large group of people, and organized a cult that only existed for three days before being suppressed;

There is also a certain Theosophical group, all of which have changed into white robes for the sake of a certain "glorious consummation" that will never come, and then they are targeted and struck.

All in all, it's all on the record.

Because they are scattered and unconnected, they have been noticed even before, but no one cares too much. After all, it's all treated as normal, and no one thinks there's anything wrong with it.

Just like the great change in the sky and the turn off of the lights of the sun a long time ago, didn't it also cause various phenomena of social turmoil, disorder, and the collapse of human civilization?

In the same way, the world has changed, the three views have been shattered, and various mysterious elements that were once considered feudal superstition and nonsense, magic, voodoo, angels, gods, ...... All of them appeared on the stage, and the grand announcement -

The phantom of knowledge is nothing but the morning mist. And the mystery of creation is like the darkness of the night.

Of course, this is not easy to accept, and it is not so quick to accept.

Someone is stimulated and has unstable mental symptoms, or someone sees an opportunity and wants to take advantage of the opportunity to fish in the water, these are all normal things, so not many people pay attention to this.

Perhaps there are countless troubles in the psychiatric hospital, and only a miracle can blindfold the medical staff and prevent them from noticing the bizarre similarities and the horrific dreams told by the patients.

However, they are confused and clueless about what is happening, but they also know that the best outcome is not to explain and explore.

It is only now that the official took the initiative to connect these things together according to the two clues of "Cthulhu" and "Lalaye", and discovered the terrible secret, which is enough to dwarf the speculation of Theosophists, and make them shudder.

- The deep ocean is filled with a primordial secret that not even the mind can penetrate, but the memory never fades, and when the stars move in the right place, the city rises again.

Shaking his head, MacDonald tried not to think about these things, he hadn't forgotten the young man's warning.

When you gaze into the abyss, the abyss will gaze back...... Knowing the truth of the ancient gods, you are also close to the ancient gods...... It's not a good thing to think too much or know too much, and he still wants to live a long life and continue to live, and even pursue greater possibilities.

And I definitely don't want to be called by that great and profound existence inexplicably.

"How's the operation in the Ghost Swamp?" He looked at the time, felt that there was still a little more, and asked the secretary.

"Already...... It's a happy ending. The last things prepared were not used, and those black-winged demons didn't seem to have any intention of leaving the swamp......"

The secretary hesitated for a moment and said.

"The military means to directly eradicate the ecological area, but the above still hopes to continue to keep observations, and wait until they find out that they are really in danger of spreading outward, and then it will not be too late to do ......."

MacDonald nodded, expressionless, and didn't say anything.

Soon, the car stopped, and the old man got out of the car and walked straight to the blockade with his file bag. It seems that things are going in the best direction, and the two are still observing the situation and have not left yet.

"MacDonald!"

The angry voice sounded, and the angry bigwigs waited beside them for a long time, and now they saw that the culprit was coming, and they were all angry and wanted to come over to settle the score.

However, the cunning political creature had long anticipated this possibility, and the bodyguards around him quickly blocked those people and opened a way for him...... As he walked briskly through the door of the restaurant, he could hear an angry roar behind him.

Contains all kinds of complex emotions.

But the old man turned a deaf ear, and he was quite nervous now, as if he had been on the stage for the first time many years ago to give a speech and compete for a certain seat...... He forgot what the competition was, but that mood was unforgettable.

With a proper and stiff smile, MacDonald went upstairs, met the two distinguished guests again, and then slowly said what he wanted to do, and then slowly said what he was trying to do, and the plan that had been finalized with the help of the think tank.

The old man first seriously asked about Cthulhu and Lalleyer, to show that he really had something to do and came to ask for advice, not to bother for no reason. Then he got some answers, but they weren't detailed or in-depth—

The other party said that it was about the old ruler and the outer gods, and he only needed to know a general idea, and if he knew more, he would definitely suffer from the disaster of innocence.

So MacDonald sensibly didn't ask, he stopped at the point, he knew that some people didn't believe such a statement, felt that it was a pretext, and wanted to continue digging deeper. But those people came to say hello themselves, and it was none of his business.

The next question is about how to deal with the cultists, and how to deal with those who have been influenced by their high inspiration, and finally the euphemism of suggesting the possibility of cooperation and so on, to test the tone of the other party.

As the old man thought, the young man seemed to have a little higher qualifications than the demigod lady, and he was the one who made the idea.

The young man groaned for a while, and didn't say yes, but he didn't deny it on the spot, he just said that he would consider it...... And this answer is surprising enough, MacDonald thinks there is a chance, or will the other party also report to the mysterious king who rules southern Europe?

Then, after the business talks, it will be a private matter.

Probably worried about the recurrence of the previous situation, he was ordered to retire in a daze, and this time the old man stammered directly and said his request.

“……”

“……”

The atmosphere fell silent.

The young man looked at the old man, who had been standing by the table all along, refusing to even sit down, and was quite restrained and respectful, stretched out a slender and powerful index finger and gently tapped the table with his knuckles.

MacDonald couldn't help but breathe, didn't dare to look at him, didn't even know where to put his hands and feet, it seemed that it didn't fit anywhere.

In a second by second, he felt as if time had been stretched out all of a sudden, and he had never been so worried and scared even when he faced his strict father before.

But—

The young man didn't let him suffer for long, and with a flick of his wrist, he took out a bright red potion, and I don't know where it came from, as if it was magic.

"This ...... This is ......" MacDonald was shocked, with an irrepressible ecstasy and excitement, and he couldn't speak, trembling.

"This is the No. 1 potion after three dilutions, the blood of the dragon king......" the young man said lightly, "It's impossible to make you immortal, but it's still okay to regain a certain amount of vitality......"

How easy it is to achieve your goals? Gifted?

Is it really like the think tank says that the more great the big people, the less they care about these things, because the things that mortals dream of are not worth mentioning in their eyes?

It's like an emperor's random reward, which he forgot about later, and has no value to be remembered, but it is an unimaginably huge wealth for the person who is rewarded?

The old man picked up the potion with trembling hands, and when he pulled the stopper, he immediately smelled a strong smell of blood, and he seemed to vaguely see a pair of majestic and terrifying vertical beams, as if some behemoth was staring at him in front of him.

He gritted his teeth and poured the potion down, fearing that it was all an illusion or that the young man would suddenly regret it and take it back.

The next moment, the old man's whole body trembled, because he felt the hot current pouring down his throat and quickly surging all over his body, which made him feel intense pain...... And joy.

He could feel that his body was undergoing drastic changes, and his whole body was being rejuvenated and rejuvenated under the baptism of a huge and pure vitality.

The wrinkles on his face and the calluses on his hands are gradually receding, his gray-white hair is beginning to turn black, and his lean body is becoming stronger...... The intense pain made his muscles and nerves tense to the extreme, and his body stiffened and he couldn't move.

But MacDonald was so agitated that he knew that the nightmare of death that had been haunting him was far away, and he couldn't say a word, except for tears streaming from his eyes.

He stared at the young man with red eyes, as if he had seen his own god, and he wanted to bend down and kiss the floor in front of him......

……

……

No one knew what was going on, but when MacDonald came out, everyone was taken aback.

Obviously, when he went in, he was still a drooping old man, but now when he came out, he was actually a man with black hair who was young and I don't know how much, as if he had returned to the prime of life in his forties, full of spirit, full of energy, and full of red light......

This shocked all the big people who were waiting outside to settle the score, and they were so jealous that their eyes were red and their blood was rolling, and they wanted to take their place.

The situation at the scene was a little out of control for a while.
