Chapter 1228 Investigation(2/2)
After all, most people do not believe that the Old Ones are real and regard them as a subculture, thus creating various creations with personal intentions.
For example, some people say that Cthulhu and Hastur are brothers, which makes Qin Zhibo feel ridiculous.
These two have nothing in common in appearance, color, etc. How can they be brothers?
The only similarity between the two is that they both have tentacles.
In Cthulhu’s own family, Qin Zhibo found the most widely circulated version, which is——
Cthulhu has four spouses, and these four have given birth to countless offspring for Cthulhu.
Among all the descendants, the most powerful and special ones are three sons and one daughter.
The reason why Qin Zhibo believes in this version is because one of the four descendants of Cthulhu is really familiar.
The eldest son of Cthulhu - Ghatanothoa.
During the Twin Towers Incident in Nishitama City, Qin Zhibo found the fragments of the "Ratan Castle Textbook" in the home of the Japanese painting master Kisaragi Hosui.
After giving it to Koizumi Anko for translation, I came up with the name of Gatanothoa.
Gatanothoa is the king of volcanoes. Once summoned successfully, it will trigger a series of disasters such as volcanic eruptions.
Because Kisaragi Hosui had painted Mount Fuji all his life, but had never painted the scene of Mount Fuji erupting, he summoned Gatanothoa to fulfill his wish.
In the end, Mount Fuji did erupt for a while, causing a major shift in Nishitama City.
However, the magma in Mount Fuji soon subsided, and Nishitama City is gradually returning to its former prosperity.
This is not the only ability of Gatanothoa.
But Qin Zhibo remembered that there was a yellow light in the sky at that time, shining on the volcanic ash erupted from the crater...
This is enough to prove that Ghatanothoa is real.
The second son of Cthulhu is called Isogoda.
The third son of Cthulhu is called Zoth Ormog.
There are different opinions about the images of the above three descendants. Each of them is very abstract, and it is even difficult to describe and define their existence in terms of earthly creatures.
However, Cthulhu's youngest daughter, named Xira, is clearly described as an octopus.
Of course, this octopus also has three pairs of eye stalks and hook claws, as well as an octopus monster with wings behind it.
But this is much more concrete than the previous three descriptions.
Compared to the first three eldest brothers, Keshila is not very powerful, but he is an extremely special one.
According to rumors on the Internet, most of Cthulhu's descendants are in a sealed state like their father.
Only Xila, perhaps because she is too weak, still has freedom and is closely protected by Cthulhu believers...
Some people claiming to be insiders revealed that the flood that occurred at Miskatonic University 16 years ago was related to Ksheela.
Qin Zhibo did some calculations and found that the original owner of the body happened to be studying at the University of Michigan 16 years ago.
It's a pity that I don't have the memory of that time.
Of course, these are the more noteworthy contents that Qin Zhibo found online, and they are not necessarily true.
But it can also be seen from this that Cthulhu's influence is indeed more profound than imagined.
In ancient times, the legends of these old rulers could only be spread through paper books, which was very inefficient.
Sometimes they were sanctioned by those in power at the time for promoting heretical gods and ideas.
But in modern times, people generally believe in science and no longer believe in these myths about gods and ghosts. Naturally, such thoughts are dismissed as "legends and stories."
Coupled with the help of the Internet, some knowledge that should have been very secret has gradually become publicized.
It's just that the characteristic of the Internet is that it is difficult to distinguish between true and false, and the source of information is not transparent.
…
As he watched, Qin Zhibo's eyes gradually fell into fatigue.
He put down the mouse, placed his hands neatly on the table, and started doing eye exercises.
Just when he was about to scratch his eyes, the phone next to the table rang.
Qin Zhibo could only pause his movements and pick up the phone.
"Hello?"
"I am Shui Wulian."
"Eh?"
Qin Zhibo was stunned. He didn't expect that Shui Wu Liannai would take the initiative to call him.
Could it be that the cruise ship, the organization she was asked to investigate last time, had news so quickly?
But the next second, Shuiwu Reina gave a negative answer.
"I'm calling to tell you that the kid named 'Conan' who came to my house last time came to my house with a dark-skinned boy..."
Dark-skinned boy?
Qin Zhibo frowned and immediately recalled Conan's interpersonal network, which boy had dark skin.
Could it be...
"That boy's name is Hattori Heiji, and he is a famous high school detective from Kansai."
"Conan convinced Heiji Bei to be a fan of mine, but the two of them kept asking me questions. It felt like their real purpose was to test my identity..."
"I'm worried that Conan might have overheard our conversation in the bathroom that night?"
Reina Mizuno on the other side of the phone spoke a little quickly, but her voice was not low.
Qin Zhibo judged that Conan and Hattori Heiji had already left Rena Minami's home.
But why did these two people suddenly go to Shuiwu Reina's house?
Something is wrong with this matter...
"okay, I get it."
"But is it okay for you to make calls like this now? Aren't your residence and phone numbers bugged by the organization?"
Reina Mizuna on the other side explained: "Since Gin's death, I haven't been monitored for a while."
