The rescued Hoover followed the two back the way they came, and while the scene under the ice was terrifying, it was at least much easier to face than a living Tindarus Hound.Arriving at the corner of the main entrance, Jobuterrand stopped."
Now you'll have a choice, follow me to explore the second fork, or run all the way to an open plain.""
It's all here, let's get to the bottom of it.I've already given up halfway through once, and I don't want to give up a second time. ”The rat confessed.Seeing this, Hoover nodded slightly, "I haven't been to any other place except the main cave."
Expectations are weak, but my child may be in it. ”Chobuterron opened his mouth when he heard this, and he was a little hesitant to say what he guessed.Hoover, sensing the slightest hesitation on Jobland's part, took the initiative to say, "Mr.
Jobland, if you have any ideas, you can tell me."
The child has been missing for so long, and I have long been mentally prepared for anything.Whether it's good or bad. ”"Let's talk as we go," Jobbutran sighed, and walked in front helplessly with the kerosene lamp that had just been re-lit in the room, "and since you are mentally prepared, Mr.
Hoover, I will boldly say my guess."
I'm sure you've seen the story of Katla in her diary, and understood that there's something hidden behind the legend of the witch Katra.And what lures you and the Bertha child out is the shady behind the legend.The High Priest in Katra's diary, the evil force that Rats and I once encountered, the Evil Eye Acolyte. ”"Evil Eye Attendant?"
Hoover asked, confused."
A human-transformed supernatural creature skilled in mind manipulation and hallucination.Since they have such abilities, it is easy to manipulate children into saying dream words that frame Katra; Even the mental protection of an adult after falling asleep is as fragile as paper, let alone a minor child. ”Jobuterrand mixed some of the information that could be revealed with his own speculation, and because Hoover had already been exposed to supernatural beings, there was no need to hide it."
I understand, but why Katla Volcano?
Iceland has all kinds of strange legends and dangers, why is it here?
”The mouse asked, confused."
It's a simple stake to blame.Katra's image has been stigmatized as an evil, man-eating witch, and legend has it that a young shepherd boy has died, so people naturally think that it was a witch who came out to do evil.Secondly, the real place where the children are can never be here, because there is something that the Evil Eye attendants fear.This is the result of what I said Hoover, and how I was hunted down by the Evil Eye Attendants.Whether it's the Ancient One or the Tyndalus Hound, one of them is something that can make them instinctively fearful, so we need the truth, and then we need the truth, and we can find the children. ”Jobuterrand's deduction has made the current predicament seem to be clear, and all the mysteries of Iceland seem to have been solved."
Then why do we continue to venture out to find the starfish, the things the ancients left behind?""
What would you do if you had three days left to live?"
Jobuterrand asked rhetorically."
If I were going to die in three days, I would definitely go to the Ice Flame Bar and party with a different girl in my arms every day, enjoy the last of my life, and then have a big funeral after I die."
The mouse shrugged his shoulders and said what was on his mind.Jobuterrand set his eyes on Hoover, who lowered his head and seemed to be assuming his final life."
What about you?""
I will do everything I can to get the child back, and if I can't, I will leave my best and most precious things to Bertha."
Hoover said with a solemn expression."
What do you think they would do if they were a highly intelligent race that was about to perish?"
Jo Buttrand asked with a smile.Hoover and the mouse looked at each other, and both saw confusion in each other's eyes."
At the extreme of despair, hope is born.I guess what the ancients left behind is the legacy of their civilization. ”The three of them chatted and chatted, and they had already reached the end of the fork.It was an empty, arc-shaped hall.The notches on the wall can tell that this is a new protection that was built by the ancients to hide from the Hound of Tyndallus.Unlike the previous walkway, the ice and rock formations on the walkway are beautiful, even rigorously designed, and each wall is an almost perfect geometric straight plane.The walls of the arc-shaped hall in front of him, although a little uneven, were all elegantly wide-angled, and even the floor connected to the ground was an arc, and there was no chance for the Hound of Tyndalus to appear.An ancient man lay in the center of the hall, and the ground around it was covered with traces of dried slime.From these traces, it can be inferred that it crawled all the way down the hallway to the middle of the hall."
Don't come near it just yet, Hoover encountered it a few years ago, and it's probably not dead yet."
Jobron admonished, stopping the rats from making a move.Jobuterrand looked around the wall of the hall and called out softly, "Mouse, come and see."
Is this the style you've seen under the glacial lake?
”The walls are painted with creative colors, and although some of the paint has peeled and faded under the inexorable flow of time, these pictures themselves have surpassed the artistic conception of modern human races, although they are very different from the level of artistic appreciation in human civilization.Joberrand understood that what was truly valuable was not the way in which the pictures were made, but the meaning of the pictures themselves and what was hidden in them.The rat first helped Hoover sit on the ground, and then walked over to Jobron's side.He took out a magnifying glass from his backpack, took a closer look, and nodded in confirmation, "That's right, although this one looks younger, it should be left by the ancients."
Whether it's the way it's painted or the bold colors, I'm 100% sure it's the work of an ancient man.You can see that these horizontal slabs of the same width, although they are bent, are the same geometrically symmetrical arabesques as I see under the glacial lake.These patterns show the ancient people's profound understanding of mathematical principles; These arabesques are made up of intricate counterparts and angles, and the number of each basic element is a multiple of five.The pattern on each horizontal plate has a special treatment for the three-dimensional pattern, and there is a three-dimensional sense whether you look at it from a distance or near it.Judging from the arrangement of these patterns, the order in which the ancients painted should be from right to left, so we should go to the first one on the right to see. ”"It seems that you like this job as a tour guide, and after the Icelandic Investigation Bureau is rebuilt, maybe I can let you find a job in one of the departments."
Jobuterrand quipped."
Bypass me.Yes, I'm a big fan of geological research and archaeology, but you want me to make this kind of thrilling day a daily routine?
I couldn't even think that it would be a disaster. ”The rat put away the magnifying glass and walked to the far right near the walkway.He looked at the picture in front of him and said in a daze, "I think, Master Jobutron, you guessed it right."
These murals are supposed to be their history. ”Seeing the strange appearance of the mouse, Jobron immediately stepped forward, covered his eyes with his hands, and said very quickly, "Don't look any further, turn around and go sit with Hoover to rest."
The Hound of Tyndalus can't catch up here.If you look at it any further, your spirit will break down and you will go crazy. ”The mouse nodded helplessly, turned around with Jobron's movements, and sat down next to Hoover.After Chobuterrand had settled down on the mouse, he walked alone to the mural on the right and studied it.These pictures tell the story of these ancient starfish-like creatures descending from cosmic space to the purgatory-like nascent Earth, as well as other extraterrestrial life that descended on Earth in the days that followed.They were initially able to travel through the aether in interstellar space with the membranous wings behind them, and when they descended on Earth, they began to transform the Earth into a habitable environment.At the same time, they brought water, the element on which countless lives depend, to the earth.Gradually, oceans and ice covered most of the planet, and boiling magma condensed, forming connected continents.That's Mu Continent.At that time, the Mu continent had not yet surfaced, and the ancients had built many strange-shaped cities on the bottom of the sea.The Black Ice Cave in Iceland is one of their cities, one of the communities they have created.They have a strict social system and class hierarchy, and at the same time have advanced wisdom and technology.Powerful and resilient biological tissues and organs, as well as their simple physiological needs, make them almost free from any natural predators.At the bottom of the sea, they used their knowledge and some of the elements available everywhere to create the first life on Earth, cyanobacteria.Cyanobacteria are present as their food.Later, they encounter an enemy from space, Cthulhu, the Old Ruler of Earth.He loved the water-filled environment because He was the embodiment of water.The always fierce Cthulhu is pitted against the Ancients, who have almost become dominant, and a terrible war is fought on the nascent Earth.Despite being technologically advanced, the Ancients were defeated by the siege of Cthulhu's many dependents, eventually falling into a position where they divided the Atlantic region into Cthulhu as a territory.After that, these intelligent beings used their technology to create a proto-straight, multicellular piece of flesh that could be used against Cthulhu, Shogues.At first, the hypnotic technique was used to make Shogoth obey all the orders of the ancients, so that he could use his shaping properties to form a variety of organs to cope with daily life and combat.These Shogues became slaves of the ideal, who did not need to be reciprocated, did not need to eat, and were almost a perpetual motion machine.After this, the Archaic allowed Hughes to evolve freely, whether it was animal or plant life.These are all modeled after the ancients.The ancients used these Shogoths as experiments, creating a large number of various lifeforms, and then releasing them on the continent of Mu that was gradually surfacing.Part of the life will be recovered by the Ancient, and the genetic structure of the individual will be analyzed after dissection, and the Ancients will use the relevant information to refine the next step of the Shogoth Shaping Project.Every Shogoth has a fear of the ancients in their hearts, which is the spiritual hypnosis implanted by Shogues when it was created.But Hughes, who has always evolved, occasionally shows a very dangerous ability to think independently - intelligence.The dangerous minds of Shogues led to their rebellion against the Creator Ancients.The Shogues in these drawings looked like adventitious lumps of sticky jelly, but in that battle, they secreted tentacles and eyeballs.The eyeballs can shoot rays made of energy fusion, and the tentacles on the body have strong physical strength and corrosive ability.They don't need to eat, but they can devour.Everything that is swallowed up becomes the energy of Shogues.This terrifying creature wreaks havoc on the remnants of the Ancients after the war, and hastened their demise.Although the Ancients defeated most of the Shogoths with an energy gun capable of breaking matter into molecular structures, a small number of Shogoths escaped, lurking in the sea or in the mountains.It wasn't until the Jurassic period that another invader from the universe, a half-fungal, half-crustacean creature, Migo, dealt a devastating blow to the Ancients.Migo has survived on Earth for too long, and the Ancients with degraded wings have all been driven to the cities they have built.A large number of Ancients have perished in the struggle against Migo, and a five-pointed necropolis is established in each city to honor their dead comrades.What remains is that it wanders in the ruined city, like a lonely ghost.The decay of the ancients is certainly worth lamenting, and it is simply embarrassing that such an intelligent and creative race has fallen because of its degradation, but what shocked Jobram even more was the mental shock.The beliefs I knew, the creation of the Light, were too different from the records of the ancients.The worldview, as it is known by human beings, completely collapsed after looking at these pictures.If he had gone into madness before he had even touched the mysterious, he would have been in a state of madness, but at this point he only felt incredible.Jobuterron understood why the mysterious black man Darry, Nyarrathotep, had arranged for himself to come to Iceland.Because that's the cruel truth
