roar--!!!

The angry and manic roar sounded like thunder, and seemed to be rapidly swimming around the temple.

Lin Qiye suddenly opened his eyes.

The scarlet moonlight shone through the open door of the temple and fell into the dim temple. He stared at the red moon in a trance for a long time and slowly sat up from the ground.

He could clearly feel that his body was much lighter than before. Although he had not grown any muscles, he could feel an unprecedented sense of strength in every move he made. His skin seemed to have been washed with jade, warm and resilient, like a masterpiece of nature.

He suddenly felt a warm and soft touch coming from his right palm.

"Are you awake? How do you feel?"

Looking in the direction where the voice came from, he saw Galan sitting quietly on the threshold beside him, with the hem of his dark blue Han robe draped on the ground like a folding fan, and his long black hair tied up with a red rope, swaying in the wind along with the wind chimes outside the door.

The red moon hung in the dim sky. Galan's eyes flickered. He held Lin Qiye's hand with one hand, with a worried look on his face.

"It's okay... I just still have a headache." Lin Qiye shook his dizzy head, "How long have I been unconscious?"

"Ten minutes."

Merlin, wearing a magic robe, walked slowly over in the distance. He carefully looked at Lin Qiye for a moment and nodded with satisfaction. "Well, the seal is perfect, but your spirit has not fully recovered from the impact of the power of faith, so you will still have a headache and some dizziness."

"It's okay, it's not serious." Lin Qiye sat on the ground and took two deep breaths.

"Really?" Merlin raised his eyebrows and walked to the threshold in front of him and sat down. "Then I'll give you a few questions to test whether you are still conscious or not."

Lin Qiye was stunned.

"What is the activation method for the last magic node of [Yan Yan Fu Tian Shu]?" Regardless of Lin Qiye's puzzled look, Merlin slowly asked the first question.

[Yanyan Futianshu] is the top-level killing forbidden spell recorded in Merlin's secret book of forbidden spells, and all the information about these forbidden spells has been engraved in Lin Qiye's mind by the mental hospital. He can't forget it even if he wants to.

Lin Qiye thought for a moment and replied, "Gravity-triggered. When the weight on the surface of the array reaches the set value, it will automatically activate, just like the principle of an anti-tank mine."

Merlin nodded slightly and asked the second question:

"As the strongest single-target killing forbidden spell of the lightning system, what is the maximum killing range of [Alfred's Lament]?"

"Forty-two kilometers."

"Among the sealing forbidden spells, there is one that requires the calculation and arrangement of star traces in advance, which instantaneous forbidden spell can activate the power of the starry sky to seal. Which one is it?"

"【Star Track God's Coffin】."

Lin Qiye answered the three questions fluently.

Merlin's mouth curled up slightly. He stood up from the threshold and patted Lin Qiye on the shoulder. "It seems that you are still conscious. Get in the car. It's time for you to leave."

Jia Lan helped Lin Qiye stand up from the ground. After hearing the last sentence, Lin Qiye stood there in a daze.

"We? Where to?"

"Leave Takamagahara." Merlin said calmly, "You already know the truth about Takamagahara, and you have received my gift. The validity period of your three mind spells will also expire...

You should go now.”

"What about you? You won't come with us?"

"Your journey is over, but mine... has just begun." Merlin said with a smile.

Lin Qiye frowned tightly, "Where are you going?"

"I can't stay by your side forever, Lord Qiye. This will only hinder your growth." Merlin's voice was extremely gentle. "After Lord Nyx left, he chose to return to Olympus for revenge. I also have things I want to pursue..."

"What?"

"Truth and truth."

Lin Qiye thought for a moment, "Is it still a question about the nature of the world?"

Lin Qiye clearly remembered that the reason Merlin entered the Gods' Mental Hospital was because he was looking for the truth of the world, and then he accidentally entered a different dimension and was occupied by some kind of existence...

Merlin sighed, "I have to admit that I can't find the answer to that puzzle yet... What I want to explore is another puzzle, a truth that has existed in the world for countless years but has never been discovered."

Merlin stretched out his hand and pointed at the scarlet blood moon above his head.

"You want to trace the origin of Cthulhu mythology?" Lin Qiye asked in shock.

Merlin nodded, and his eyes closed gently. The two faint magical lights dissipated, and when he opened them again, his eyes were already red!

Lin Qiye's heart trembled slightly.

The appearance of Merlin in front of him was too similar to Chen Yangrong whom he saw in the body of the whale in the deep sea. His red eyes reflected the shadow of the red moon, full of hideousness and pain.

The difference is that Merlin's expression is extremely calm, and he is not as fanatical and demented as Chen Yangrong.

"You have been contaminated by the Red Moon?!"

"I was the one who allowed it to be polluted. If you want to get closer to the truth, you must listen to their voices." Merlin pointed to his ears. "Now, I think I have heard something..."

"But……"

Lin Qiye wanted to say something, but Merlin interrupted him with a smile, "Don't worry, I'll be fine. I'm Merlin, the great god of magic and prophecy."

Looking at Merlin's confident and sparkling eyes, Lin Qiye opened his mouth but still didn't say much.

Merlin waved his hand gently, and several ghostly white horses pulled a silver carriage to Lin Qiye and Jia Lan. Merlin opened the carriage door, took off his hood with his right hand and placed it on his chest, and bowed slightly like a gentleman:

"Sir Qiye, let's say goodbye now... one day, fate will arrange for us to meet again."

Lin Qiye sighed, put one foot onto the carriage, hesitated for a moment, and then stepped back.

"Uncle Merlin, even if you want to find the truth about Cthulhu, you have to leave Takamagahara first, right?"

"I have some small matters to attend to. I will leave after I finish them." Merlin said with a smile, "If you stay here, you might be affected."

"……I see."

Lin Qiye faced Merlin, and after a moment of silence, he bowed deeply, "Uncle Merlin, have a safe journey."

"Um."

Lin Qiye brought Galan and stepped onto the silver carriage. Merlin closed the door and tapped the carriage lightly with his knuckles. Several ghostly white horses then galloped forward, dragging the carriage out of sight.

When Lin Qiye and the other two walked away, the smile on Merlin's face gradually disappeared, replaced by an unprecedented solemnity.

The moment the carriage drove away from the magic circle that concealed the aura, a roar sounded again!

roar--!!!

The roar was approaching rapidly from a distance, blood-colored dust was flying all over the sky, and the murderous intent as surging as the sea swept across, rushing straight towards the departing silver carriage!

Merlin narrowed his eyes slightly, raised the magic circle in his hand, and his body turned into a shadow, blocking the direction of the roar!
