Ultraman in the world of grams

Miskatonic University is also so quiet today.

Curator Armitage didn't go back to sleep at night, but stayed in the library's office, studying the wooden sign in his hand with a serious expression.

This plank is just ordinary woodwork, it seems to be broken from the cargo box in the hold, and it is unremarkable.But the written records depicted on it are extremely precious, and can even be said to be the key to a certain mysterious corner of the world.

The dark brown lines are deeply engraved on the wooden board, and there are even strange corpses between inorganic and organic matter, which seem to be a combination of calcium carbonate and blood, an extremely unimaginable and disgusting way Combined.

The pattern on it is extremely amazing, just by looking at it, you will be attracted by the bizarre and bizarre recorded on it, it is like the aura in the universe, with a shocking vastness, no matter who you are, you will Be captivated by the portrayal of despair and fear.

The handwriting on it was scrawled and crazy, but he still tried his best to express what he saw in words.Through this simple text, I can only vaguely glimpse the corner of despair that night, but I still cannot fully describe all the events.Even if some patterns are added, it's just a blank peep from the perspective of a stupid human being.

Obviously, the person who wrote the record on the wooden board was writing in an elusive and desperate situation. Even though his consciousness has been scattered and confused, he still has an unyielding will before he dies, vowing to take what he saw Everything that comes is recorded and used as a warning to future generations.

Two days ago, when he saw this board for the first time, Curator Armitage even thought that somewhere in the world, another poor investigator died in obscurity, leaving only a record of his The truth of the last witness of life.

He originally wanted to say his condolences to the members of the expedition team who gave the wooden sign.

But he didn't expect it, and the expedition team then gave him a thick envelope:

【Dear Director Armitage:】

[Hello, I'm sorry that I didn't have time to visit you when I came back last time. After a few days of rest, I was assigned by the principal to perform a new task.For some reason, I'm sorry I can't reveal it...]

【...The mysterious giant of light...His name, Ultraman Tiga, comes from Professor Wilson...He saved us who were confronted by the Lord of Rot...The team members I sent back last time in these situations should I have notified the school of these in detail, so I won't talk too much nonsense here...]

[...After we came out of the small town of Feld where we summoned the Lord of Rot, we had no choice but to come to Boston and take the cruise ship of the Ellis family, but on the cruise ship, we once again encountered a horrible incident. Before the darkness came, I Desperately recorded these...]

【...It's amazing, it's like a miracle, none of us sacrificed, and we all survived!It is obvious that our pollution has reached the level of mutation, and it should be too late for this level! 】

【...The memory at that time is already blurred. Maybe it was due to the self-protection mechanism of human beings, or what those existences did to us. In short, the only thing that can reproduce the situation of that night is probably The wooden sign, I wrote a little analysis based on my vague impression, it's on the back of the envelope...]

【...You are an outstanding mystic expert in our school, maybe you can analyze more useful information from it...】

[...And the situation of Professor Wilson, I can't confirm whether he is still him now, or that the evil god embryo replaced him...]

【...His performance has been normal recently, but he seems to be lethargic a lot, maybe it's because of his pregnant wife? 】

[...In short, since I can't guarantee whether there is some kind of pollution or other abnormalities, I can't leave Innsmouth for the time being. The clues are given to you...]

【...Although Innsmouth is also very weird, it may be a good thing to be able to confine the weirdness here...】

【Your faithful】

【Lionel M. Linden】

After carefully reading Captain Lyndon's letter, Curator Armitage's brow became more furrowed, and all he wanted was a long sigh.

Since the wooden sign was delivered, Director Armitage has been staying in the library almost non-stop for the past few days looking for relevant materials.

Not only Latin manuscripts of the Necronomicon.It was written on parchment by the mad Arab poet Abdul Alhazad.The book talks about various alien gods such as the Great Old Ones and the Elder Gods, as well as the sects that believe in them and the secret rituals that worship them.

Curator Armitage is also a loyal researcher of this book, but as far as he knows, there is no existence similar to that described on Captain Linden's wooden board recorded in this book.

Is the weird blue ball and the spiky monster an ancient secret or an interstellar nightmare?

Director Armitage couldn't be sure, he could only feel a spontaneous shudder.

He went to look for the "Analysis Report of the Old Ones' Camp", which is an academic paper written by the famous scholar Augustus Dreis in this school, which has been cited by many people.But there are also many disapproving voices, thinking that he is looking at the great old ruler with superficial human thinking.

In recent years, Professor Dreis and those opponents have launched fierce confrontations in many academic journals.But there is no doubt that Professor Dreis is still an authoritative master, and the research on the old rulers is also advancing by leaps and bounds amidst these exchanges.

No matter how loud those trolls are, they still can't change Professor Dreis' status in the academic world. I have to say, this is quite interesting.

After all, Professor Dreese has developed the research methods of the Old Ones by himself.

Although factions say that it doesn't sound like a complete description of the Great Old One, it can provide a starting point for stupid humans to figure out the greatness of the Great Old One.

Director Armitage does not fully agree with Dreese's point of view, but there are many places worth learning from.

"So... the ball of light, the giant, and that devil may belong to different camps?"

Curator Armitage kept writing and recording with a pen and paper, with densely packed text marked on it.

But these clues are still pitifully few.

It made him frown, but he had no choice but to search for information again.

"I remember that Principal Lovecraft once wrote a book about the Outer Gods..."

In a corner, Director Armitage found a dusty tome bearing the headmaster's name in gilt letters.

"That's right, it's this one—"Nyarlathotep."

----

"Nyarlathotep" is a short story written by Lovecraft around November 1920.
