The secretary to the president of Miskatonic University dutifully handed over the report of Captain Lyndon's expulsion in those days to President Lovecraft.
The report was a thick stack with densely packed letters.
Even if you casually glance at the few words in it, you will be shocked by the unbelievable horror and strange records, and you can't help but feel jealous. Yong Wan Zhidong consciously regards it as the most ridiculous thing.
joke.
Even if there were no horror stories published in "Weird Tales", none of them would be as shocking as this pile of records.
From the simple words, you can feel the deep despair that morning.
"Well, thank you."
Principal Lovecraft, who wore crystal round glasses and had melancholy and deep eyes, did not express any further opinions. He silently took the stack of reports, scanned them line by line, and read them carefully.
Lionel Linden is an experienced investigator.
His past experiences can even be said to be legendary.
And what he encountered that time was much more magical than all the experiences he had experienced in the first half of his life combined.
The principal moved his eyes to one of the lines about the mysterious person who first appeared in Field Town, and he noticed the wrong description of the person... dark skin, with a hearty smile.
Especially when the principal noticed that he was holding the bullet provided by the unknown life form Soth behind him and shot through the head of the dark man, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
An ordinary man killed Nyarlathotep's clone alone.
How ridiculous that sounds.
When he saw that, the corners of Principal Lovecraft's lips slightly curved upward.
Even with the help of outside power, the perseverance and legend of Lionel Lyndon cannot be concealed. He is indeed a qualified captain and investigator.
Everything you do should be done to the best of your ability.
What's even more amazing is that after their group encountered three sniper attacks from Bu Dong, they were able to come back alive without even losing a single person.
That's simply unimaginable.
Captain Lyndon also showed his confusion and confusion in his report.
Although he tried his best to maintain his objectivity and impartiality, he tried to calmly describe the causes and consequences of what happened.
To be honest, from a human perspective, it is completely impossible to understand the full picture of all those events.
In the beginning, they all came back alive intact, and even the twisted ship returned to its original appearance. Even the crew and passengers who had been assimilated and fused together did not have much impression of this.
No one doubted that he had had a nightmare.
After waking up, Linden once thought that he had had a terrifying nightmare, because even the traces of destruction in the morning seemed to be gently smoothed away by the light of miracles.
If later investigation revealed that the cultists and truly twisted deep divers who participated in the strange priestly rituals had disappeared, it would really be like a crazy dream.
However, the reality is even crazier and more difficult to understand.
Even fairy tales are not so unreasonable miracles.
Reason kept reminding him to stay vigilant and highly alert. But sensibility made him continue to admire that light.
The intertwining of reason and emotion is complexly present in the report.
Whether it was intentional or not, Captain Lyndon mentioned the new giant that was completely different from the previous ones and the strange things about Professor Wilson at the very beginning.
The focus of the entire report is not on those twisted and alienated monsters, and the various signs of their presence.
And...in that crazy and chaotic dream, the R'lyeh that Elizabeth Ellis saw...
The eyes behind the crystal lens are deep. Principal Lovecraft seems to be thinking or recalling something.
He moved his legs and pointed at the thick calluses left from writing.
"Principal, were they really lucky that time?" Mr. Ball, as the principal's secretary, took the initiative to break the tense atmosphere. "At least he didn't think they could survive unscathed after encountering those horrific beings."
Come east, unless there is a more terrifying secret hidden inside."
"I wonder if they were replaced by something?"
Principal Lovecraft was quite interested in what Ball said.
"No." Mr. Bauer's expression was particularly solemn, "That is simply not true. They saw the belief of the deep divers, the terrifying existence of Dagon in the deep sea, and they even experienced terrible changes.
Evil God!"
"Even if a normal person takes one look at Yuanji, they will be carried away by the absolute chaos and madness. Those people don't even show any mental abnormalities!"
"Those of them did not die when despair came, but they were resurrected like a miracle."
"That is simply unreasonable. On the mystical side, resurrecting the dead has always been a crazy and crazy behavior. Only the craziest cultists can do such amazing things. And there is no price for resurrection."
"If you disturb the sleep of the dead at will, you will probably summon terrifying monsters. But they are safe and sound!"
"If there is no abnormality, wouldn't it be the biggest abnormality?!"
Mr. Bauer said with great solemnity, according to his understanding, those people are hidden disasters or souls returning from hell.
The so-called miracles are not disguised as evil gods and demons. If you are not careful, they can cause great harm to human society.
So he was a little unclear about Principal Hong's attitude.
"I'm right." Principal Lovecraft nodded slightly, "Generally, this is indeed the case. The gifts of fate are never free. They are resurrected by unknown forces and will eventually be destroyed by that force.
Devoured by terrible power."
"Then should they control them?" Ball asked hesitantly, "or ask Director Armitage to see if they can find any solution."
"He said it, but that's not normal."
The principal shook his head and raised the corners of his lips slightly, "Nothing will happen to them."
That……
Bauer looked at the principal with some confusion.
Principal Lovecraft did not explain anything wrong, but regretted that he had put the manuscript aside.
That piece of writing had large sections of blacked out handwriting.
