In the base on the outskirts.

With Helena's knowledge of the Is, the construction of the portal between Gu Shiyin and Michael went very smoothly. Gu Shiyin estimated that in a few days, the portal connecting the two centuries would be completed.

However, Chen Qiang and Qin Yixian couldn't be happy anyway......

"What the hell is going on?"

【Qin Lingxue's Psychology Examination 10/49 Success】

Chen Qiang and his brother were hiding something, Qin Lingxue thought suspiciously.

However, she tried not to allow herself to show her deepest worries in front of Chen Qiang.

[Qin Lingxue's acting skills failed 95/91]

“……”

Chen Qiang shook his head helplessly. At first, neither he nor Qin Yixian wanted Xiao Xue to put too much pressure on him, but Xiao Xue did have the right to know the news left by his father.

In particular, after contacting the future, Qin Yat-sen confirmed the fact that the image hidden in the candle by magic could only be played once.

"Come with me." Chen Qiang sighed.

……

In a quiet room.

Helena, who was a magic advisor, carefully examined the candle that was suspected to be left behind by Qin Yuantu.

[Helena Cthulhu Mythos Check 19/40 Success]

"No problem," Helena said, "I haven't seen the exact same spell, but just the 'light the candle' step shouldn't be an unmanageable trap." ”

"I see." Chen Qiang nodded.

"Dad." Qin Lingxue muttered to herself in a low voice.

After several years of separation, her father's voice and smile will still appear in her sleep.

Father he...... Still alive?

If he is still safe and sound, why use such a stealthy method to convey information?

"Well, then, I won't bother you."

Helena stayed outside the room for the time being, just in case.

Chen Qiang glanced at Qin Yixian and Qin Lingxue's brother and sister.

The two nodded at Chen Qiang. Chen Qiang took a deep breath and lit the half-burned candle.

……

Chen Qiang and the three found themselves in a void.

There was darkness beneath your feet, and stars overhead.

A middle-aged man in a trench coat stands in the distance. He has a majestic appearance and a piercing gaze, but his sideburns are already gray.

"Dad!" Qin Lingxue couldn't help but exhale.

"Mr. Qin Yuantu." "Uncle Yuantu." Although they knew that the opposite side was only an image, Chen Qiang and Qin Yixian still bowed slightly.

Qin Yuantu's influence showed a gentle expression. His appearance is elegant, but his eyes contain a knife-like momentum.

"Yat-sen, I know you're watching," he said, "I don't know who else is ......"

He paused.

Qin Yuantu didn't know, whether Qin Yixian and his party were lost in this era like him, or did they have a means to return to the future? In Qin Yuantu's view, the latter is more likely.

“…… Tell Xiaoxue that I'm fine," Qin Yuantu said slowly, "I've been looking for an opportunity to establish communication with you in the future." ”

He grimaced.

"Yat-sen, as long as possible...... Leave this era as soon as possible. The history of this parallel world has gone astray. A crisis is coming, which has never happened before in history as we know it. ”

"Dad, what's going on?" Knowing that Qin Yuantu in front of him was just an image record, Qin Lingxue couldn't help but speak.

Qin Yuantu paused for a few seconds and continued his story.

"You may have seen the term in the records of an organization or family...... 'When the stars return to their places.'"

“……”

Qin Yuantu's eyes flickered: "At a certain moment when the position of the stars comes, the city of Lalaye, which is hidden in the deep sea, will rise again, and the lord of Lalaye, who once ruled this planet, will be resurrected and once again occupy the sea and the earth. ”

"Cthulhu." Chen Qiang whispered the name.

"The legend is true," Qin Yuantu said, "I don't know if Xiao Xue told you or not, but Xiao Xue and I have witnessed the clone of the Lord of Lalaye at sea, and I have known it since then...... What we are confronted with is far more terrible than what is written in the book, beyond the limits of our minds. ”

Xiaoxue's body trembled slightly.

Qin Yixian was silent.

"I know I have to fight," Qin Yuantu said, "All I see is an incarnation or projection of that Lalaya Lord who lacks strength, and if it were its original deity, we wouldn't be so lucky to escape." For hundreds of millions of years, the lord of the Ralaye reigned ...... The deity called 'The Great Cthulhu' was ...... by another."

Qin Yuantu showed a thoughtful expression: "...... The god of Cthulhu, known as the 'Kthanid the Supreme Being', is sealed in the depths of the ocean floor. Until the stars run in the right position, they can't break free from the cage of the bottom of the sea. ”

Ketanid ...... Chen Qiang meditated on the name of an old god, rumored to be Cthulhu's "brother". It has a similar form to Cthulhu, but it is covered in jewels and has bright golden eyes. Witnessing the fate of Kthonid is no better than witnessing Cthulhu.

The Old Gods rebelled against the will of the outer gods and were enemies of many of the Old Rulers, and their emblems were also resistant to mythical creatures, so they were considered righteous and "on the side of humanity." M.biQuge.biZ

It is said that Laleier sank because of the "movement of the earth's crust", but if there were no other gods involved, how could ordinary changes in the natural environment get the great Cthulhu?

"In the original history," Qin Yuantu said, "in 1925, the position of the stars reached a suitable place for a time, and Cthulhu took the opportunity to break away from its seal. However, an accident happened, and a ship that deviated from its course broke into the area, disrupting the ritual of the followers, and causing Cthulhu to not be resurrected in its full form......"

There was silence.

Chen Qiang stared at the man in front of him. Is this the reason why Xiaoxue returned to the future alone, but you stayed alone in this era, Uncle Yuantu? He thought silently.

Qin Yuantu paused: "...... You can still find the record of the 'Call of Cthulhu' event in the documents of the Qin family and the 'Green Delta'. The revived Cthulhu power was incomplete, and was eventually defeated by a sailor named Gustav Johansen in a steamboat, and the consciousness of the Lord of L'Alaye returned to the bottom of the sea. ”

Johansen steered his ship and pushed the weak avatar away. Chen Qiang said softly.

Just like he did with the Haneda in the "Christmas Carnival in the Ocean".

"After being stopped by Captain Johansen, the next 'time the stars return to their positions' will have to wait a long, long time," Qin Yuantu said, "History should be like this." But...... This era has come to a fork in the road. ”

Qin Yuantu's voice was low: "The followers of Cthulhu in this era have mastered a method similar to 'space-time observation'. They had access to future records and knew that Johansen and his party had interfered with the ritual of Cthulhu's resurrection. As a result, they caused an accident and killed Gustav Johansen and his companions prematurely, ensuring that what happened in the history would not happen to the rest of the story. ”

Qin Yixian's eyes widened. Qin Lingxue also showed an incredible expression.

Even Chen Qiang was a little moved. Before Johansen rammed Cthulhu with his steamboat, he and his companions did "disturb" the ritual of Cthulhu's resurgence.

Indeed, there are many powerful wizards among the followers of Cthulhu. If Johansen's sighting of Cthulhu in 1925 accidentally interfered with Cthulhu's recovery, it is indeed possible that the followers of Cthulhu, who were informed in advance, took action to avoid this "unfortunate accident......

"Now," Qin Yuantu's voice was thick with tiredness, "the chance to avoid Cthulhu's resurgence through 'coincidence' has been lost. The only one who can stop this is me. Through disguise, I was able to gain the trust of several enemy cadres and manage to infiltrate the organization known as Silver Twilight. Among the strongest followers of Cthulhu, I await the opportunity to turn the tables ......"
