Suddenly, Dr. Morgan turned to look at Dr. Rice and asked curiously:
"Professor Rice, do you know the young man who greeted you just now? I don't seem to have seen him."
"Of course I don't know him. I haven't seen him either."
Dr. Rice frowned and said strangely, "Actually, I thought you knew him, so I said hello to him."
"Oh, well, that's incredible."
Dr. Morgan touched his hair, "I mean, the style of clothes that young man wore just now is actually very similar to what my father wore when he was a young student at Miskatonic University.
Well, maybe you haven't noticed, I mean... his dressing style is quite retro, a bit like the late 19th and early 20th centuries."
"Ahem~"
At this time, Dr. Armitage coughed twice and said:
"Gentlemen, we can talk about men's clothing later. I think we need to get to Dunwich as soon as possible.
The problem there is serious and cannot be delayed any longer."
As he spoke, he subconsciously took out a brass pocket watch and looked at it.
I saw the perpetual calendar above showing... It is August 1928.
In the library.
"Ah sneeze~"
Randolph Carter fell back into an immersive reading state. He had not been reading for long when he suddenly sneezed loudly.
Then, he keenly noticed that the library he was in... shook suddenly.
Randolph knew very well what this strange feeling, or knowledge of strange phenomena, meant.
This means that he has just unknowingly... entered a future scene in an unknown era.
"Oh my God, I'll 'travel' to the future from time to time without any warning. This is really annoying."
Randolph shook his head, a little speechless.
"Hey, it looks like those three professors just now..."
Feeling the trance as the information about those three people quickly disappeared in his brain, Randolph frowned and muttered, "Maybe... they are the people I will know in the future?"
Based on past experience, he knew that as long as he entered a certain future scene and met someone in that scene, he would also have various memories about that person in an instant.
Then it means that you will get to know that person in the future.
Because that memory is his own memory in the future.
But this wonderful process was only noticed by Randolph after the fact.
As for Randolph at the time, it was completely impossible to notice anything wrong.
To describe it, it is a bit similar to the sense of déjà vu, or an enhanced version of the sense of déjà vu.
The so-called sense of déjà vu, also known as "memory illusion", is a physiological phenomenon.
It describes that when human beings face a scene that they have never really experienced, they inexplicably have a sense of familiarity, or a sense of deja vu, that they seem to have experienced at a certain time and place.
The feeling Randolph Carter experienced every time he 'foreseeed' the future and happened to encounter a 'stranger' he would meet in the future was a bit like this sense of déjà vu.
It's just that it will be much more intense.
It was so intense that at that moment, he was unable to distinguish or detect the problem of his memory.
These are actually nothing.
Of course, in addition to the memory coming in and leaving inexplicably, this fact did make Randolph a little uncomfortable.
But what Randolph is more concerned about is that when he 'foresees' the future and enters a certain future scene... he can actually communicate and even have physical contact with strangers in the scene.
This is a bit incredible.
So Randolph had suspected a long time ago that when he was doing the so-called 'predicting the future'... he might actually have traveled through time and space to the future.
But if this is really the case, then why do all the people who had verbal exchanges with him in the 'future scene' wait for him to leave the 'scene' for a longer or shorter period of time before he once again or truly 'arrives' at that place?
After a while, that person no longer recognizes him?
And it is completely complete, with no memory of any communication with Randolph.
It was as if everything was just Randolph's unilateral fantasy.
Because he can't figure this out, so far, he still tends to think that he is 'predicting' the future rather than 'traveling' into the future.
"It's annoying."
Randolph shook his head and continued to flip through the ancient books in his hand.
I saw this written on the yellowed pages of this ancient book:
...We cannot think that human beings are the oldest and final masters above the earth and under the sky.
Nor can we think that ordinary life and matter will travel alone in the world.
The God who is over all things existed in the past, is present now, and will be present in the future.
He does not exist within the space we know, but outside it.
He walked silently at the beginning of time, unbound by the world and invisible to us.
Sometimes we can know His approach, but we cannot see His form. We can only get a glimpse of it from the appearance of the children He gave birth to mankind.
There are also many kinds of these descendants of gods and humans, ranging from the most realistic fantasies of humans to the most false nightmares to the invisible and insubstantial, all of them are different.
God, He only walks through the remote place where horrifying words are spoken and hysterical shouting is heard at certain times.
No trace left behind, leaving only decay and ruin.
The wind carries His voice, and the forest whispers His thoughts.
The gods distort the earth, the gods crush the world.
But neither the earth nor the world can see the hand that caused the disaster.
Cold ruins, desolate ice fields, oceanic islands, ancient capitals frozen in ice, and ancient seals and secret towers covered with seaweed and barnacles all passed by at the feet of the gods.
The great Cthulhu is his vassal, but Cthulhu can only vaguely peek at his figure.
Alas! Hyperion, you are the source of madness, you are the messenger of chaos.
You hold the throats of all sentient beings, but all sentient beings can only moan and never get a glimpse of you...
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Cthulhu~"
Randolph Carter put down his book, frowned and pondered.
He has heard this term.
On the campus of Miskatonic University, there is an investigation team with the prefix "Cthulhu".
But Randolph didn’t know exactly what ‘Cthulhu’ stood for, let alone which god the name ‘Hyperion’ in the book referred to.
Neither antiquities nor knowledge of ancient inscriptions and literature could provide him with an answer.
"Woo——"
Suddenly, a hazy and shrill cry of a dove came from outside the library.
This caught Randolph's attention.
He looked up and found that the library he was in had... turned into a low, damp cave.
At the same time, through the dim light coming from outside the cave, Randolph also discovered that the rows of bookshelves that originally stood around had now turned into plates of grey-green vines with different shapes and rugged twists.
"This is……"
He stood up slowly, looking surprised, "Which era?"
Yes, no doubt.
Randolph was very sure that at this moment, he had definitely entered a future scene that existed in an unknown era.
And it is very likely... that it is a future very, very far away from the end of the 19th century where he lived.
From ‘Jiuyuan’ to the library, everything turned into a cave.
After hurriedly walking for more than ten steps to the entrance of the cave, Randolph raised his hand, touched the rocky outline of the cave entrance that was only a head taller than himself, and thought:
"Due to the complexity of geological processes and plate movements...the duration of orogeny can range from millions to tens of millions of years, so this time...I may have arrived at 10 million AD or even
Much later."
So tens of millions of years have passed, will human civilization still exist?
Randolph didn't know either.
It is possible that he is extinct.
Because the time scale of millions of years and tens of millions of years... is really too big.
It's so big that Randolph can't even imagine how human beings have the qualifications to develop for such a long time.
Hua Hua Hua——
The sound of rain fell.
Randolph turned to look outside the cave and found that it was evening outside.
The gray sky was extremely cold and drizzly.
Through the thin line of rain, Randolph saw an unknown number of miles to the southeast outside the cave, stretching across a series of mountains.
Above the mountains, heavy dark clouds are slowly accumulating, getting thicker and thicker.
I don't know if it's rain clouds or some other strange thing.
Click!!!
At the end of the distant horizon, there was a faint dull thunder.
Immediately afterwards, a fork-shaped lightning flashed across the gray sky, shattering hundreds of dark clouds and turning them into even greater rain that pounded the earth.
After the thunderstorm that dazzled people's eyes, Randolph heard a vague and strange cry coming from all directions.
Wuwuwu——
Yeah yeah yeah——
Surrounded by these gloomy cries, Randolph felt in a daze that this future world tens of millions of years in the future... was as terrifying as a dark kingdom ruled by ancient nightmares.
What made Randolph feel even more horrified was that his unusual trance... suddenly became deeper and deeper under the strange cries around him, and he was almost about to lose his mind.
At the same time, in his hazy vision, Randolph vaguely saw... among the large expanses of dark green grass and strange shrubs outside the cave, there seemed to be densely packed dark green eyes looking over at him, looking at him.
At this moment, everything unusual suddenly disappeared for no reason.
The strange screams, green eyes, and trance... were all gone in an instant.
Randolph Carter is back to normal.
"Ho~ho~"
He staggered back a few steps, held on to the cold rock wall, and tried his best to breathe.
"Just...what happened just now?"
Randolph looked around blankly, and found that the shrubs and grass outside the cave that originally looked extremely eerie and weird now looked much normal, just a little dark.
Just at this moment, Randolph suddenly heard a rather flirtatious voice:
"If I were you, I wouldn't keep looking at those bushes."
"Who?!" Randolph looked shocked and turned around immediately.
Then, he saw a strange white man appear in the cave.
This man was wearing a peach-pink suit, with a thin figure and a mysterious temperament. He was currently sitting on the chair where Randolph had been sitting, with a joking smile on his face.
"This strange gentleman..."
Randolph frowned slightly and asked with some confusion, "Who are you?"
"An ordinary time traveler."
The man in the suit smiled and said, "Same as you."
"Wait, you can travel through time?! And I..."
Randolph raised his finger and pointed at himself, surprised and said, "You mean, I can also travel through time?!"
"yes."
The man in the suit casually took out his pocket watch and took a look at it, "It's now 480 million AD, well, if you stay in this era.
Then unfortunately, you will have no chance to submit your graduation thesis again."
Not paying attention to the other party's silly joke at all, Randolph held his forehead and said with a dizzy look on his face:
"Oh, sir, you revealed too much information. I was a little confused for a while. Do you mean that I have arrived hundreds of millions of years in the future?!"
"Uh-huh." The man in the suit shrugged and smiled.
"no."
Randolph shook his head and waved his hands repeatedly, "I don't know where you learned about me, but what I must say is that I can only predict the future, not really reach the future."
"Haha, there is actually not much difference between the two." The man in the suit said with a smile, "Also, you think that all the people or things you come into contact with in the future scene are illusions, but in fact... they are all real.
.
As for why in the subsequent time, the people you have interacted with have no impression of you anymore.
It’s because the future scene you arrived at before was not this timeline, but other parallel universes.”
"Parallel universe?" Randolph looked confused, "What is that?"
"Oh, my bad."
The man in the suit looked enlightened, then slapped his forehead and said, "I forgot that you were from the late 19th century. The so-called parallel universe theory would not appear for another fifty or sixty years."
"Uh... sir."
Randolph pointed to the chair where the other party was sitting, "I want to say, I should be able to go back, right?"
"Oh, of course, of course."
The man in the suit said, "You only need to think about it in your mind a few times, and you can go back easily. But don't worry, we can... have a chat."
…
Beyond infinite dimensions, beyond endless time, lies the pure white palace of Jordyn, the king of light and darkness, the antagonist of chaos, and the source of change in all realms.
In this huge palace where the cause and effect of the years have burned and the sky has collapsed, surrounded by countless waves of praises and songs, Yoko Deen, who is like an infinitely huge bright and swelling whirlpool, is quietly at this moment.
Suspended.
And in front of him, in the equally vast and vast void of the hall, there were three indescribable gods suspended in each shape and size.
If any of the old gods were present, they would be horrified to discover...these three extremely gigantic and extremely mysterious gods are none other than Shub-Nicholas, Nyarlathotep, and Yog-Sothoth.
But at this moment, the condition of these three pillar gods is obviously not very good.
Because they... have been dissected and dismantled into huge pieces by some infinite and majestic force.
