Giant of Light: I am the Old Ones

Chapter 52 Before the third night
Amanda thought thoughtfully and then asked:

"By the way, how much do you know about R'lyeh?"

This name may be the key to everything.

In the original "Ultraman Tiga" series, Raleye, also known as Luluye, is the last residence of the super-ancient civilization. In the theatrical version of "The Final Holy War", the dark giant sleeps in that place and, The bodies of countless monsters and giants killed by super-ancient civilizations.

The ruler of darkness, the resentment after Gatangee's death also remained there, and he combined with Carmilla, the warrior of love and hatred, to become the new ruler of darkness, Demogee.

That place is in the world view of Cthulhu, and it is also the place where the legendary old ruler Cthulhu sleeps.

It is a dream city that only a handful of human beings are lucky enough to visit in person.

No matter what world it is in, R'lyeh is a crucial location.

If Professor Abtis and his students, or even the entire academy, had a dedicated investigation team to deal with supernatural forces, it would be impossible for them to know nothing about R'lye.

But Qi Wen's face really showed a trace of doubt, saying:
"Raleye is a continent that has long since sunk to the bottom of the sea in the collection of an ancient Sudanese king in the [-]th century. The legend of Raleye near your Louisiana town is just a story after the sinking of this ancient continent. , legends scattered on coasts all over the world. In fact, there are already rumors about Raleye in many areas, just like that ancient country in the East. There are also legends about islands and mountains where overseas gods live, which are erratic. Even if that place really exists , its main part has also sunk into the sea, making it difficult for us to investigate."

After listening to this, Amanda had some new ideas. Maybe all the legends of R'lyeh all over the world are from the same place. That continent may have sunk, but the islands that inherited the name R'lyeh have moved around the world. With.

Maybe this is why many people couldn't find Raleye later. In the [-]th century, when navigation technology was mature enough, sailing around the world was not a problem. It would be strange to not be able to find an offshore island.

Forget it, I can't figure out these messy things for the time being. After solving the problem of the Kirialodians, I will follow the original plan, join the academy, and then look for opportunities to explore the strange power of this world.

"Okay, I know you hate me, but this time I saw the power hidden in your body, it was an unexpected surprise for me. I don't have to do some dirty work. I have to go back to find the teacher. The problems in the town Just study it slowly by yourself. When you join the academy, I will tell you the knowledge you should know."

Seeing that Amanda didn't speak for a long time, Qi Wen wouldn't stay here with a face.

He originally came here just to isolate a certain connection between Amanda and prevent this weak connection from being used by cultists and become a medium for communicating with evil gods to gain evil power.

This medium is called talent. If it can be used in the right way, it may be mediocre for the rest of its life, or it may awaken some extraordinary power, but it will always be to seek skin from a tiger.

Those with weak talents are more susceptible to the temptation of cults, giving up self-exploration, seeking external power, and eventually embarking on the terrifying path of flesh and blood sacrifice.If he has a ruthless mind, he might even become a villain.

If one's own willpower is not strong, one can only indulge in the false pleasure and power of flesh and blood sacrifice, become fuel for the belief in evil gods, and dedicate one's life to those so-called gods that mortals cannot see, hear, or describe.

The academy also has dedicated people who are responsible for stripping off these gifted people with weak mediums so that they can live in the world of normal people for the rest of their lives instead of becoming the prey of cult beliefs.

Qi Wen originally came here for this purpose, but he was mistaken. Behind the faint light, the power displayed by Amanda far surpassed many talented people who can obtain power in non-cult ways. In the academy, It can be regarded as an extraordinary existence.

Without waiting for Amanda to answer, Qi Wen stood up and left directly.

He was still a little confused on the way. How could he detect according to the academy's method? Amanda's medium was so weak, but where did those huge powers come from?

Forget it, I don't understand.

Anyway, this guy will enter the academy sooner or later, and become his own junior at that time, and then play with him well.

Amanda vaguely realized that Qi Wen's words opened another door for him to see the struggle of human civilization in this world where evil gods exist.

Unfortunately, I was still a little far away from the door and couldn't clearly see the scenery behind it.

However, the power within him is that of a giant of light.There is no need to explore the power system of the extraordinary beings in this world.

In his opinion, Professor Qi Wen and Professor Abtis did not show the ability to destroy the world like Superman or a superhero. Perhaps the extraordinary system of this world is just like those Western wizards from the ancient Chinese world in his impression. Alchemy is similar to some witchcraft.

Almost no one came to find her throughout the day, so Amanda went to find Madion, the clerk of the patrol bureau, who wore glasses and looked like a nerd character in the team configuration, usually used in movies Come and use the knowledge you have learned to sacrifice your life to solve a certain problem that is blocking the way.

When he found him, the latter was stuffing a lot of paper documents into a box and sealing them. They were all the information that Chief Black wanted to find. They had no use these days and had to be put back again.

Amanda noticed a photo of Daniels and Zussman on Madion's desk.

These two are patrol officers at the residence headquarters. Daniels will become the captain when Norris retires in two years.

But both of them were now dead at the hands of the Wendigo.

That was only a few days ago, but looking back, it seems like it happened a long time ago.

"Oh, it's little Amanda. I thought it was the police chief who came back. I haven't finished packing my things, so I'm going to be reprimanded again." Madien looked back at the person, breathed a sigh of relief, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and continued The files are sealed.

Amanda asked curiously:

"Mr. Madin, you don't seem to be afraid of the recent cultists at all. I noticed that although the other patrolmen respect you, they all think, well, you are a nerd. I remember you came back from college, You can even continue to apply to be a professor in the college, or stay in a big city to work. Why go back to your hometown to work? The terrain here is remote, there is no colorful entertainment life, and there are not even many beautiful girls of your age."

Madion was moving the documents, feeling a little embarrassed. He was an extremely shy person who could be questioned by children who seemed to be ten years younger than him.

He gritted his teeth, moved a large pile of folders in his arms, and put them on the table for support. Then he exhaled heavily and said intermittently and forcefully:

"Little, little brat, what do you know! I, I am, happy and free. Come and help me, and when the work is over, I will take you to have supper. Oh, damn, we are under martial law these days. Wait. A while has passed, I’ll invite you again.”
