Roughly flipping through the research notes left by the master, I found that most of the content of the notes was about the connection between the Cthulhu Mythos and the Four Directions, but there was no detailed explanation of the Cthulhu Mythos itself.

Master wrote in his notes that the author who built the Cthulhu Mythos system in the first place also suffered from a very serious mental illness, so it was speculated that this person might have also been affected by the Four Directions.

It seems difficult to conclude whether this author was inspired by the four heavens and used it to construct the Cthulhu Mythos, or whether people with ulterior motives based on the Cthulhu Mythos system made up the concept of the four heavens.

One thing is certain, however, that there is a mysterious power in this world that is not yet known to mankind, and that has the ability to distort time and space and cause people to hallucinate.

The existence of the Dark Passage is the best proof of this.

Since the content of Master's notes was quite complicated, I did not have enough time to read it carefully, so I could only quickly flip through it and come to the above conclusion.

Whether these conclusions are correct or not remains to be verified.

I closed the note in my hand, looked up and asked the little devil, "What is the Old Ruler?" ”

The little devil brought me a glass of water and said, "They are some gods who once ruled the world in ancient times, and humans are just dispensable ants to them, and generally speaking, they have no interest in humans, let alone treat them well. Oh yes, I suddenly remembered a sentence. ”

I picked up the glass and looked directly at the little devil, waiting for him to finish what he had to say.

The little devil frowned, as if trying to remember something, and after a short moment, he spoke again: "Lovecraft once said: 'Humans are meaningless compared to the universe, and if there really are gods, they will not be able to help such a small human being, unless ...... They harbor ill will towards humans. ’。 ”

I couldn't help but smile: "It's kind of interesting." ”

The little devil asked instead, "So, as a cultivator, what do you think of this sentence?" ”

I took a sip of water and said, "Human beings are inherently small, human beings are inherently great, and since we exist, we have the meaning of our existence. Don't say that we don't have any meaning in comparing ourselves to anything in comparison with the universe, but we also have infinite meaning in comparing ourselves with anything. ”

The little devil tasted my words with his heart, and in the end he could only shake his head helplessly: "It may be that my wisdom has not reached the level of yours, and I can't understand what you said." ”

"It doesn't matter if you understand or not, the important thing is that you hear this passage and it makes sense to you."

The little devil spread his hands helplessly: "Okay, I can't understand your words anyway, so I'll treat you as a fart." Okay, let's get down to business, when are you going to join the house? By the way, I don't have much say in Ymir's forces, and with my ability, I can only let you join alone. As for Yunshang and Lu Shengcai, it's better for them to stay in the tavern. ”

I nodded, "The sooner the better." ”

Obviously, the little devil himself proposed to take me into the gang, but when I said the words "the sooner the better", he showed a very reluctant expression.

But he didn't say much, just kept a sullen face and lay on the bar and was silent for a long time.

Since this guy has a very special personality, I can't figure out why he is like this for a while.

It wasn't until the magic mountain came out of the kitchen with the barbecue that the little devil sighed, looked up and said to me, "I'll take you to a place after eating." ”

"Where are you going?"

"You'll know when the time comes."

As he spoke, the little devil went to the kitchen sullenly.

What the hell is going on this guy's mind?

Then I called Yun Sheng and Lu Shengcai to the hall for dinner, and during the banquet, I told them that I was going to act alone for a while and let them stay in the hotel to concentrate on practicing.

Yun Sheng expressed strong displeasure at this, and she asked me if I felt that she had become a burden and was unwilling to take her with me.

Seriously, that's what worries me the most.

It took me a lot of effort to explain to Yunsheng that the reason why I didn't take her and Lu Shengcai to act together was not because I felt that the two of them were cumbersome, but because the little devil had a very limited voice in the gang and couldn't let the three of them join the gang together.

In the end, Yunshang finally accepted my statement.

After eating, the little devil changed into the black and red night coat and led me out of the tavern.

Before leaving, he deliberately asked me to wear civilian clothes to accompany me.

It was daytime, but the sky over the steel city was covered with a thick layer of fog, and the sun could not be seen at all, and the sunlight filtered through the fog, and when it was reflected in the street, it also became a little gray, causing all the illuminated things to disappear, as if light and shadow were mixed together without a bottom line, giving people an extremely chaotic feeling.

The little devil walked in front of me about ** meters, he seemed to deliberately make a look of not knowing me, once I quickly walked behind him and whispered to him, but he pretended not to hear, and quietly quickened his pace, and distanced himself from me again.

I followed him around a few alleys until I came to a small warehouse on the east side of Thousand Sails, when the little devil turned and beckoned to me.

The little devil knocked on the door of the storeroom three times, and he didn't use much strength, but the rusty iron door still trembled two or three times, and large pieces of rust slag scattered down the door shaft.

In a moment, someone pushed the iron door open a gap.

The light behind the door was very dim, and most of the other party's face was hidden in the shadows, only one eye was exposed, and this person's eyes were full of fierceness, and his pupils still reflected a bit of blood, and it seemed that he had killed a lot of people.

The man glanced at me a few times, then slowly lowered his gaze to the little demon.

"Why are you here?" The man behind the door asked, his voice very muffled as if it had been covered with thick grease.

The little devil pointed at me, "I've brought a new friend with me." ”

The man in the crack in the door glanced at me again: "Who is he?" ”

The little devil responded: "Gai Dong, the killer from outside, his methods are quite clever, you will like him." ”

The other party seemed a little uneasy: "How do you know him?" ”

The little devil's words were half-true: "Acquaintances introduced." ”

The man in the crack of the door stared at my eyes, as if trying to see some clues in my eyes, but after a long time, he could only sigh helplessly.

If you want to see something in the eyes of my dead fish, it's just hard to beat.
