Chapter 59: The once mighty old one

"A madman from ancient Shibo once actually became a magic apprentice"

Coulson felt that his mind couldn't turn around, this was a lunatic, and it was magic, and there was some incantation, which sounded very mysterious.

But think about it carefully, what happened recently, which one is not mysterious? Is the sculpture of Cthulhu mysterious? Is Baster, the goddess of cats, mysterious! The ancients in Antarctica are mysterious! The sudden appearance of mountains is mysterious What a mystery! All of this may or may not be explained by science.

Colson isn't a senior scientist after all.

There is no way to explain these things scientifically...

The same is true of Agent May, because what Louis said, in Agent May's eyes, looks like some feudal superstitious people, but what makes people feel very contradictory is..., these parchments seem to be There's really something special about it.

That's what makes Agent May very contradictory, a mad poet of old.

In an abnormal state of mind, he wrote a strange book.

As a result, the book has survived to this day.

And the book itself seems to have... a magic that no other book has.

Agent May tried his best to keep his eyes from looking at the parchments, and muttered to himself in his heart: "This friend of Coulson seems to be in such a mysterious state, why does he have such a strange state? Weird stuff A few pieces of parchment can affect an agent's mind."

"It feels like, a bit similar to being influenced by the Cthulhu sculpture.

If I don't think it would be rude, I really want to ask his identity."

"If it wasn't for worrying about offending someone who shouldn't have offended, I would really like to know what he did before."

There was a bit of solemnity in Agent May's eyes, but of course it was only solemn.

say "scary"

or "watchful"

, that might be too much.

After all, Agent May also knew that Louie, no matter how mysterious... no matter how strange, was Coulson's friend.

A person that Director Fury values ​​very much.

In other words, this mysterious Louis, strictly speaking, is also a S.H.I.E.L.D.

.....

....friend.

All in all, not the enemy.

Agent May couldn't help but shook her head, swept away the miscellaneous thoughts in her heart, she couldn't help but asked curiously: "This...this lone copy of the Necronomicon, how many other pages does it have? Pages, are they lost in every corner of the world?"

Louis nodded slightly and said, "It is indeed lost in many unknown places."

"As for how many... pages"

Louis smiled: "No one really knows yet."

"There may be hundreds of pages, it is said that the Necronomicon..."

"It's so heavy that a child may not be able to carry it."

When he said this, Louis pointed his finger to an ancient parchment. The very rough feel of parchment was not very comfortable, but one could clearly feel that the parchment was very tough.

He pointed to some words on the parchment, all of which were in Burgundy.

Coulson and Agent May, although they are S.H.I.E.L.D.

.....

....very elite agents.

Generally they are proficient in more than one language.

But let them see this ancient Arabic.

That really embarrassed them both.

Louis' incomparably calm tone resounded in the store, the tone remained the same, as calm as ever: "According to the records in the Necronomicon, the ancients are a very ancient race that once existed on the earth.

Strictly speaking, they are not natives of the earth, but ordinary alien immigrants."

"But the ancients have already lived on the earth. The time of year may be tens of millions of years, or it may be hundreds of millions of years, or even 10 billion years."

"They have had deep dives with Cthulhu's family, flying hydra, the great race of Iss, etc... Many races have had a long-term battle."

Louis's tone paused for a while, but he didn't make a fool of himself, but continued to translate the ancient Arabic on the "Necronomicon": "It is quite unbelievable that..., the Cthulhu faction at that time The family, actually gave in.

You must know that the original Cthulhu is still in a state of awakening."

"The ancients were very powerful back then, and they must be able to make the Cthulhu faction retreat.

Perhaps behind the ancients, there is an ancient god, an outer god, or an old ruler."

"It's also possible that they used some benefit to make the clan of Cthulhu regress."

"In the end the Old Ones took Antarctica as their center of activity..."

"The Cthulhu faction will retreat to the Pacific Ocean."

"It was still land at the time."

When he came to this point, looking at Coulson and Agent May who looked confused, Louis explained with a smile: "The records in the Necronomicon are very obscure and difficult to understand, probably because of the writing of his The reason why a person is a poet, most poets always like to do some obscure things."

"I translated the content above into the current words. I think you should be able to understand what is recorded on it. Whether it is true or false, no one actually knows."

"Probably not even the author of the mad poet Abdullah Al-Hassad."

"After all, there are all kinds of taboos involved."

"It's logically inaccessible to humans."

After Louis said these things, he opened a bottle of mineral water in a hurry and took a sip.

"I believe it is true!"

Coulson swept away the blankness and confusion in his eyes, and said to Louie with a serious look: "The more absurd things are, the more likely they are to be true! After this period of experience, I understand such a reason."

Indeed, in Cthulhu's worldview, the more ridiculous something is, the more likely it is to be true.

The more bizarre the crazy talk, the closer it is to the truth of a certain fact.

Coulson believed Louis's words and believed what was written in the Necronomicon.

It is because he has been through too much in the past few days.

These experiences made him have to believe the absurdity.

And that's what Louis said.

A very mysterious existence like Louis... What he said, no matter how absurd.

That's the authoritative kind too! It's like a billionaire.

Random nonsense about getting rich.

But this is also authoritative! Much more reliable than experts.

And there is... The relationship between Coulson and Louie makes Coulson very clear that Louie doesn't make any jokes to make fun of himself, which means that all the things that Louie said are very true. s things.

Perhaps on a very distant earth, in that very distant age and era.

This kind of thing has really happened, and there really are such ancient creatures on the earth.

A creature on the edge of the Ancient Era that no one has ever discovered.

And this ancient creature also involves the more mysterious old ruler.

What other ancient gods, and what outer gods.

These... are all very mysterious and grotesque.

At this time, Louis said: "The... private exploration team in Antarctica should encounter the sleeping ancients, and they are also very degraded ancients."

"degenerate"

Agent May seized a point and asked in confusion, "What does that mean?"

Louis smiled and explained: "It means that the ancients are special life forms, their body mechanisms have produced various degradations over the long years.

All other creatures are evolving, but they are degenerating."

"And in the long years, they also encountered the betrayal of their servant race, the Shoggoth, which accelerated the decline of the ancients."

"It is said that the only city of the ancients, a city that has spread to modern society."

"It's...in Antarctica, a mountain range!"

"A huge, crazy mountain!"

When referring to the mountains of Antarctica, Agents Coulson and May were clearly... stunned.

Because the purpose of their visit this time, or the reason why they came, is because of the... inexplicable huge mountain range in Antarctica.

And it was obvious from Louis's tone that he only knew about this mountain range.

Even from that...understated tone, I could vaguely hear it.

When Louis used to be, it was as if he had been to that crazy mountain.

This made Coulson and Agent May's spirit instantly shaken.

At the same time, it also made them endlessly curious.

Curious about what Louis did in the past, he knew about Cthulhu, Bast, the Old Ones...these...the hidden existences are fine.

Now even that mountain in Antarctica.

He seems to know everything about it! Even Coulson, an old friend, has begun to be extremely puzzled and curious about this.

And Louis, it seems, can also see this kind of curiosity on their faces.

Louis explained this sentence with a smile: "I used to go to that place when I was a private investigator.

If you want to divide the earth into a few forbidden places that no one can get close to, the crazy mountains of Antarctica can definitely be divided into them."

"It's not just the super ancient city where the ancients used to be, there are more unknown dangers there."

"If you S.H.I.E.L.D.

.....

..., if you want to go and investigate."

"I guess you need some preparation."

"At least be prepared to die."
