"Cthulhu comes from another world? Then what is this? Alien invasion?" Lin Qiye asked puzzledly.

"I don't know. These are just my guesses. After all, I can't think of any other explanation besides this theory." Ji Nian shrugged and said, "But what is certain is that these monsters that came out of the novel are definitely not the gods and myths we know. The information we have about their combat power levels, abilities, laws, etc. cannot be applied to them.

Their existence itself is a kind of 'unknown'."

Lin Qiye's eyes swept across several of the booths. "Besides that? Are there any other clues?"

"have."

Ji Nian nodded solemnly, "See that broken volcanic rock in the middle?"

Lin Qiye walked to the exhibition stand mentioned by the memorial, his eyes penetrated the glass and fell on a broken rock more than one meter high. On the rough surface of the rock, dense and twisted lines could be vaguely seen, like some kind of ancient picture.

"What is this?"

"It is an ancient inscription excavated around one of the Cthulhu ruins. It is no longer possible to tell the exact era it was from, but after the technical restoration of the Second Research Institute, we can roughly interpret its meaning."

Ji Jian paused for a moment, "This inscription should record the history of the gods of the Ksitigarbha being sealed on the moon."

Lin Qiye raised his eyebrows, "But, aren't we already very clear about this history?"

"No, it's not that simple."

Ji Nian stretched out his hand and pointed to a certain area, "Look at this painting."

Lin Qiye looked in the direction of her fingertips. On the ancient picture, twisted lines flew up and gathered in a round sphere in the sky, hanging high at the top of the picture.

"Is this the Cthulhu gods landing on the moon?" Lin Qiye roughly guessed the meaning of the picture.

"Yes, look here again."

Jin Ji moved his finger to the bottom of the screen.

"This is..." Lin Qiye narrowed his eyes slightly.

On the black rock surface, three twisted lines with dark red strokes are crawling below countless ascending lines, as if they are dormant in the deep underground, motionless.

"From the meaning of this picture, there are three more gods of the Ke system who are not sealed on the moon." Ji Nian looked into Lin Qiye's eyes seriously and said word by word, "They... have been hiding somewhere on the earth."

"Are there still gods of the K-type on Earth?!"

Lin Qiye's expression suddenly became serious.

"After we discovered this possibility, we dispatched a large number of people to conduct a more in-depth exploration of the existing remains of the gods of the Cthulhu clan. Through technical restoration, countless inferences and speculations, and combined with the relevant content of the Cthulhu Mythos, we can roughly identify the identities of these three gods of the Cthulhu clan."

Ji Nian took a deep breath and said slowly:

"They are: [Black Goat] Shub-Niggurath, [Key of the Gate] Yog-Sothoth, [Chaos] Nyarlathotep. In some novel settings, they are also defined as the three pillars of the Kr mythology."

"【Black Goat】, 【Key to the Gate】, 【Chaos】..." Lin Qiye muttered these names.

Suddenly, he felt like he had heard the name [Black Goat] Nicholas somewhere before...

Anqing fish?

After a moment of thought, Lin Qiye recalled the future An Qingyu who appeared at the end of the long river of time when he was judged by angels in hell.

At that time, An Qingyu looked at the Seraphim Uriel who was controlled by the red bug and said, "I didn't expect that our meeting again would be in this form... It seems that I still have to thank Nicholas."

So it seems that the future An Qingyu also knows about the existence of [Black Goat] Shub-Niggurath? Or... are they originally in the same camp?

Why should he thank the Black Goat?

Because it facilitated the meeting between the two across time and space? It, or part of it, was the red bug that manipulated Uriel to trigger the future judgment?

While Lin Qiye was thinking, Ji Nian continued:

"According to our speculation, of the three Ksith Pillar Gods left on Earth, at least two have awakened."

"According to the K-series mythology, one of the characteristics of the Black Goat Shub-Niggurath is that she possesses a super strong reproductive ability. That is why she is called the Supreme Mother Goddess, the Black Goat of the Forest who gave birth to thousands of offspring.

The red bugs and tumors that controlled the bodies of angels and demons that you encountered in hell before, as well as the group of bugs that formed Odin's eyeball some time ago, are probably all its offspring and are controlled by it."

"The second one is [Key to the Gate] Yog-Sothoth. The nameless fog that destroyed the world a hundred years ago is inextricably linked to it. It can even be speculated that the fog is a part of its body."

Lin Qiye’s brows furrowed tighter and tighter.

According to Ji Nian, the [Black Goat] and [Key to the Gate], the former controlled heaven and hell, attempting to build a unique kingdom belonging to the gods of the Ke family, while the latter single-handedly created the current tragic situation on Earth and was also the fundamental reason why the gods of Da Xia fell into reincarnation... Their power and intention to subvert the world far exceeded Lin Qiye's imagination.

"What about the last one?"

"One of the most important characteristics of Chaos Nyarlathotep is his love of deceiving and seducing humans, and his greatest pleasure is to drive them into terror and despair until they become insane.

We have not discovered any events related to it, so we temporarily classify it as not awake yet... or in other words, it is just waiting for the right time."

Lin Qiye nodded thoughtfully, "I really didn't notice that."

"In short, we must always be on guard against these three Ksitigarbha gods lurking on Earth... Otherwise, things will get very bad." Ji Nian licked his chapped lips and said,

"I have already reminded you what I should have reminded you of. If there are any new discoveries at the No. 2 Research Institute, I will update you.

If you want to find information about Sumerian mythology, take your time. I will go do something else first."

After saying goodbye to Lin Qiye, Ji Nian walked straight out of the castle.

Lin Qiye took one last look at the collection hall of the Cthulhu ruins, took a deep breath, and exhaled slowly, as if he had not yet recovered from the bombshell news.

He returned to the third floor of the castle, picked up a Sumerian mythology investigation file, sat down and began to read it carefully.

Although, as Ji Ji said, there are few archives on Sumerian mythology, it is a huge project to extract useful information from these fragmentary fragments.

Time passed by minute by minute, and by the time Lin Qiye finished reading all the files and left the castle, it was already late at night in Utopia.
