Cthulhu?

Penelope felt a strange chill, as if this word that had never been heard before was said in such a straightforward way, would be enough to make the listener feel cold and creepy.

She wanted to dissuade her father, but she opened her mouth but didn't know what to say.

After all, she could not object because she felt inexplicably and without reason. Besides, she did not forget what kind of plan she had for coming back this time, that is, to see what kind of person her father was.

Is it really that his own spirit has had problems a long time ago? Or has he discovered the reality of the world a long time ago?

Is it his mistake that made him and his mother so painful? Or is it that he and his mother actually didn’t understand him at all?

This has always been a thorn in Penelope's heart. From the divorce of her parents in childhood, to the teenage years, to the adulthood, to the departure from her hometown after completing her studies, this thorn has been deeply rooted in her heart.

But after a long time, she gradually felt no pain and felt numb.

But it does not mean that the thorn no longer exists. And if she touches it occasionally, she will even care more about it than before. Moreover, people will have some commonalities and always want to think about things better.

It’s like a girl discovering that her boyfriend hasn’t contacted her for a while, of course she will have some ideas, right?

What changes in mind or cheating are normal speculations, but I can't help but think about the better...or is her boyfriend just dead? In this way, isn't she just thinking too much?

The other party is not really bad to him, nor is he really changed his mind, cheated on him, but died, so he hasn't contacted him for so long... In a sense, this is really gratifying! Greeting!

Although this example is a bit subtle, it seems that something is wrong.

But the truth is indeed this, just understand it.

The same is true for Penelope. Professor Anthony is her father at least. She hopes that in her heart, she has always misunderstood and her mother has also thought it was not that his father ignored this family, but that he and others have not understood his fears.

That's why she emerged from the mysterious world, and showed her holy presence in front of the demon king and god. After a series of major events of the century shocked the eye, she was confused for a long time and suddenly realized that perhaps her father was not a pure madman either.

Just as I saw the email again, she found that her father was about to start another research project that was just a whimsical or even a nerve-wracking research project in her past, so she simply took this opportunity to run back.

——This time, she has to verify her guess with her own eyes and see who is wrong.

Professor Anthony didn't think too much. He was always obsessed with his research and exploration, and thus ignored other aspects. In fact, the truth is not that tortuous and bizarre, and it is quite simple.

He just has paranoid symptoms and is just a mentally paranoid guy. He has only recently become the lucky one chosen for some reasons, and has really made some breakthroughs.

Strictly speaking, he still had paranoia attacks, but this time it was unfortunate that his delusions were likely to become reality for some reason, and would turn from non-existence into existence...

...

...

After dinner, Professor Anthony began to plunge into his study and began to focus on his own research.

However, this time, his daughter no longer watched or sarcastically, but also silently began to help, sort out the information or help record some key quotations.

During the particularly late dinner time, after a long-lost heart-to-heart talk between father and daughter, she is now equivalent to Professor Anthony's assistant.

In this way, she wanted to witness what kind of results her father's research would get in the end... After all, there must be an explanation. No matter what the final result is, she is ready to fully accept the facts.

"...According to my speculation, we can only define a rough range in the South Pacific. In addition to Ponape Island, the nearest city is also 5,100 nautical miles away. It will take about ten days for a fast ship to arrive..."

Professor Anthony no longer buried everything in his heart and kept silent, but started talking nonsense.

But Penelope couldn't help rolling his eyes. Such an outrageous statement... No wonder he could not get the support of the official project. Even the private investment of the unknown rich man only gave him one million US dollars in the early stage. If the other party continues to invest additionally, he needs to come up with more results to convince the rich man.

After all, no one's money was blown by the wind, especially after hearing such unreliable remarks from Professor Anthony, it was a pretty good and perfect start.

Archaeology does not mean digging everywhere. To put it bluntly, even if you are tomb robbers, you must really determine the specific location and value of the tomb in order to start!

Who would be stupid enough to carry a Luoyang shovel all day long and dig it hard as long as it is a piece of land? If the bucket is not over, people will be exhausted first.

This is true on land, and if it is in the vast ocean, such behavior will be even more unreliable.

Think about it, why are so few high-value things in the seabed salvaged? Compared with the number of shipwrecks, the tip of the iceberg of the ships found is not considered a drop in the bucket.

Didn’t everyone be moved and didn’t think about going to salvage it?

After all, you have to know that there are indeed sky-high treasures on the bottom of the sea. According to historical materials, navigation logs, legends and other statistics, there are millions of ships in the waters around the world, including ships carrying gold, silver or various cultural relics.

They are buried deep under the water and are unknown. Once they sink, only clues from historical materials are left, which seem very mysterious.

Because of frequent sea dangers, it was difficult to predict in ancient times. In addition to war, there were indeed countless sunk ships. During World War II alone, there were more than 100,000 wrecks, including not only warships, but also many merchant and cargo ships loaded with materials and treasures.

Therefore, it is impossible to estimate how many treasures are buried under the sea.

However, just by confirming its existence, but not knowing the specific location, situation, etc., it is of no use at all.

If you can only guess the general direction and then search in a large area of ​​water, it will take several years or even decades to find it, which is normal.

Even if you find it, salvage itself is a huge problem. It may take a lot of effort to clean it up, and take a few years or decades to carry out it, which requires huge costs...

It can start with hundreds of millions of dollars, and it is often very likely to lose all your money in the end.

It is even more difficult to trust if Professor Anthony is too excessive. The information he gave is too difficult to determine. In addition to the fact that the South Pacific positioning is relatively accurate... Isn't this a cheating father?

Not to mention a rich man, even if the financial resources of a country are used as a backing, I would not dare to play like this!

——Even Professor Anthony himself dared not guarantee whether there was really any ruins of Lalayer under the large area he had designated?

"A million yuan of funds can't do much. We can only go to New Orleans first, then recruit some people, and form a small team first..."

Professor Anthony wanted to go to the South Pacific immediately to explore the traces of Mu Continent or Lalaye, proving that his long-standing concerns were right.

If the funds he had were not one million dollars, but more than one million, he would have done so. But now, he could only be more pragmatic and prepared to go to the Louisiana swamp first to get in touch with the local Cthulhu Order.

In any case, it is always good to obtain more useful information, and perhaps it can also help him further lock in the specific location of the sunken city in the South Pacific, preferably to be accurate to the latitude and longitude.

Penelope was quite uneasy, but he only felt that it was the first time he had come into contact with these divine aspects, so he was a little uncomfortable and would subconsciously think about it.

Another thing is that as an assistant, she needs to sort out the information collected by her father—

It includes various newspaper clippings and various manuscript documents, some are short notes, such as discoveries and inspirations before Professor Anthony, or citations excerpted from some theosophical books and magazines, as well as materials about long-standing secret societies and concealed corpses.

Most of the newspaper clippings are related to the collective blind faith that broke out in history and madness, such as the Virgin Mary in Portugal in 1917, and the dance plague that broke out in Strasbourg in the Holy Roman Empire in the summer of 1518...

And many other similar collective hysterical events, such as there are no poisonous insects at all, but people collectively have symptoms of being bitten by "toxic insects", as if through hearing, visual infections, and there are some heterogeneous horrors that can be transmitted through the spiritual level...

It is difficult for people to give a reasonable explanation of this, and it can only be said to be caused by religious fanaticism and collective hallucinations.

However, so far, doctors, anthropologists, and sociologists who have studied the phenomenon have not been able to come up with a clear explanation for this "contagiousness".

Because all the symptoms are not fantasized by patients, nor are they pretending to be sick. Through modern neuroimaging technology, it can be confirmed that their brains are indeed abnormally active.

These are not available to patients who deliberately pretend to be sick, so it can be concluded that they have a series of symptoms, but the source of the disease is still undetectable... It is like a "poisonous insect" that the police cannot find any signs, which is actually a real danger to them.

In addition, there are passages excerpted from books on mythology and anthropology, as well as some strange books, such as "The Witch Order of Western Europe", "Atlantis and the Lost Lemoria".

When Penelope put these notes, clippings, and books together, it felt like he was pieced together some separate puzzles-

The terrifying glance suddenly appeared in front of her.

It almost made her breathless.
