Chapter 1228 Investigation(1/2)
The organization wants to revive Cthulhu...?
When he thought of this, Qin Zhibo, who was sitting on the toilet, felt his stomach churn.
"Ahem..."
He retched several times before the nausea that arose spontaneously in his stomach subsided.
The sight of his eyes refocused, and he couldn't help but think about it.
Since the organization hopes for the resurrection of Cthulhu, is Karasuma Renye a believer of Cthulhu?
Is he from Innsmouth too?
No……
Qin Zhibo read the diary written by "Xia Gai" in the basement of the Dusk Villa. It said that Renye Karasuma had been a British noble since he was a child, and he was in no way comparable to a sinister fishing town like Innsmouth.
If so, why do this?
Qin Zhibo thought deeply, but he couldn't think of any answer.
Even his subordinates probably don’t know the true thoughts of the organizational boss.
Most members of the organization just think that the black organization is a simple large-scale criminal organization.
However, Belmode is most likely the important person who knows the organization's boss plan.
Because she once expressed the purpose of the organization to Itakura Taku using the code phrase "We are both God and devil...".
Whether she did it intentionally or not, Belmode must have known something.
In addition, what method does Karasuma Renye plan to use to revive Cthulhu?
Is making software for cyber recovery?
What about medicine?
What is the real purpose of APTX-4869?
With the intelligence collected so far, it is very difficult to gain insight into the true intentions of the organization's boss.
But the problem is that time waits for no one.
Even now, the organization boss is definitely executing his plan unswervingly.
And now I don’t even know the specific location of Cthulhu...
Since it is a resurrection, it means that Cthulhu is now located somewhere on the earth, right?
Just like the Toad God…
Qin Zhibo frowned and thought repeatedly, and suddenly thought of someone.
When it comes to Cthulhu, Walter Marsh Jr., who was born in the Marsh family of Innsmouth, must be familiar with it.
Moreover, Cohen, the ace sniper in the organization, is still an undercover agent sent by him. Perhaps he has obtained some key information...
It seems that after I finish my work here, I will go to the United States.
…
The next day, noon.
Qin Zhibo woke up quietly from the bed and rubbed his somewhat messy hair.
Yesterday, I dropped Yamada near Shinjuku area and came back. It was already 12 o'clock in the middle of the night.
He sent Yamada to a bush in Okubo Park and didn't leave until he watched him wake up.
Theoretically speaking, this "Yamada" who wakes up should be Yamada in the parallel world.
The Yamada of this world is still in the ancient era of the earth where the Yith race lives.
After returning home, he entered the dreamland again for the first time in a long time.
In the dreamland, Kuroba Kaito has boarded the black three-story multi-oared sailing ship at the port of Delas-Lin.
This dreamland seems to have a character switching mechanism similar to that in the game.
That is to say, most of the time in many games, players can only control one character, and other characters follow them as team members and can switch when they need to fight.
In the fantasy world, as long as a few dreamers enter the reality and form a team during the adventure, if one of them acts, it is equivalent to the others acting.
Kuroba Kaito boarded the ship while Qin Zhibo did not enter the dreamland. When Qin Zhibo entered the dreamland again, he would also wake up on the ship.
This explains why Conan was still able to reach Dilas Lin without following the caravan in Ulsa Town.
However, during this period of time, Conan did not enter the dreamland again.
After all, in Conan, the fantasy world is just a dream, and subconsciously I think there is no need to come in every day.
According to Kuroba Kaito, the black ship sailed extremely fast on the sea, and the sailors and oarsmen below the second-story cabin were gliding almost non-stop day and night.
And no matter it was day or night, sailors were never seen coming to the deck for activities.
Qin Zhibo advised him not to worry too much and to get off the ship when he reached the mainland north of Fantasyland.
As long as you find the underground passage in the northern continent, you can go to the Tombs of Sin where the ghouls live.
Then use the Night Dire controlled by the ghoul to go to the legendary secret realm of Kadath, and maybe you can find the Black Feather Thief.
…
One day later, it was another ordinary morning.
Behind the office desk on the second floor, Qin Zhibo was staring at the computer in front of him seriously, rolling the mouse wheel with his right hand from time to time.
At this moment, he was searching the Internet for relevant legends and information about "Cthulhu" and the "Old Dominators".
As for the title of Old Dominator, Qin Zhibo had previously searched it on the "Noah Knowledge Website".
Noah's Knowledge website is a variety of knowledge summarized by artificial intelligence Noah's Ark by learning big data on the Internet.
This knowledge was originally the database of Noah's Ark.
But Noah's Ark made this knowledge open to the public for search, which can be regarded as satisfying Hiroki Sawada's wish to benefit mankind.
This is a bit like the Wikipedia of the future, but the artificial intelligence version.
However, with the exposure of the "Cocoon Press Conference" accident, people realized that the development of artificial intelligence poses a serious threat to human beings, so they began to boycott the technology.
The already large-scale Noah Knowledge website was also banned as a result.
However, Qin Zhibo still remembers that before this website was banned, he called the King in Yellow, Cthulhu, Cthugha and a series of other gods "Old Dominators".
Qin Zhibo also asked Sawada Hiroki how he obtained this knowledge.
Sawada Hiroki said that this kind of knowledge is rarely circulated on the Internet, but in some private forums, a small number of people are still discussing these myths.
The program of Noah's Ark is the knowledge summarized based on the discussions of these people.
It's just a pity that Hiroki Sawada doesn't dare to easily connect to the Internet to conduct large-scale searches, so as not to attract a "green signal".
Therefore, Qin Zhibo could only search one by one.
After a whole day of investigation yesterday, Qin Zhibo really discovered some interesting content.
First of all, the full name of Cthulhu is "Great Cthulhu", which is "Great Cthulhu" in English.
Some people also call him the "Sleeping God", "Poseidon", and "Lord of R'lyeh".
Secondly, Cthulhu sleeps in a place called "R'lyeh".
R'lyeh is a huge city under the sea, built from extraterrestrial rocks that do not belong on earth.
Some people claiming to be "esoteric cultists" claimed on the Internet that their consciousness was once connected to this city, and they even saw the indescribable huge shadow.
In addition to human followers, Cthulhu also has followers of non-human creatures.
Among them, the most numerous and loyal ones are the Deep Divers.
Deep Diver is an old friend to Qin Zhibo. He has fought several battles in the sea. It is a creature similar to a fishman.
In history, deep divers once almost occupied a town near the seaside and built a reef city on the seabed near the mouth of the sea.
However, the authorities later dispatched the army to suppress the incident and blocked the news. It is now difficult to find any evidence of the existence of this creature.
But Qin Zhibo knew that this town was Innsmouth in the United States.
Finally, Cthulhu is not a "lonely god".
Cthulhu has his own father, mother, wife, brothers, and children. In theory, he is a god with a relatively rich family life.
Not only Cthulhu, but most of the powerful Old Ones have their own "families".
Even when a large enough number of the Old Ones are grouped together, a grid similar to a "family tree" can be formed, as if anyone can have a family relationship with anyone.
This is quite different from Qin Zhibo's imagination.
At first, Qin Zhibo thought that gods like "Zeus" with corrupt private lives were just the obscene imagination of ancient people.
But I didn't expect that these old rulers would also come for real.
Of course, the so-called "family tree" may also be some interesting secondary creations by mythology lovers.
