Chapter 703 Cthulhu Cult (I)

Chapter 703 Cthulhu Cult (I)

At the same time, in the Church of the Stars, Pope Lady Lisa heard the oracle again.

"What kind of organization is the Cthulhu Cult that deserves the gods to issue an oracle?"

Lady Lisa only thought about it for a moment, and then went to faithfully execute the oracle.

That night, a piece of information about the Cthulhu Cult was delivered to her desk.

In a room illuminated only by the light of the starry sky, Lady Lisa bathed in the starlight and quietly flipped through the only three pages of Cthulhu Cult information.

The information mentioned that the Cthulhu Cult was first discovered near Sonia Island.

At first, it was a merchant ship that sailed there. Because of the storm, it deviated from its direction and accidentally came to an island that had not been discovered and developed.

On this island lived a group of indigenous tribes who had obviously not been exposed to civilized society. They spoke words that did not belong to all known language systems.

They were brutal by nature. There were originally 23 crew members alive on the merchant ship, but when they encountered the natives on the first day, they were killed and only three were left. One of them was the captain, one was the first mate, and the other was a pale young man who was usually weird.

Although the crew had weapons such as pistols, the natives seemed to have some extraordinary ability to interfere with the mental state, making it difficult for their weapons to play their due effect.

After being imprisoned for four or five days, on a full moon night with calm tides, the natives held a grand sacrifice, with more than 200 natives participating.

What they sacrificed was a clay statue. At a glance, it was a life form that combined the characteristics of an octopus, a bat and a human. Its body was like a jelly covered with scales, with giant claws and teeth, and a pair of tattered and unformed small wings behind it.

The poor first mate was unfortunately chosen as a sacrifice, and his head was chopped off by an aboriginal holding a stone machete. The blood looked particularly sad and beautiful under the moonlight.

After offering human sacrifices, more than 200 aborigines divided into two circles, one inside and one outside, and began to call for prayers around the bonfire and the statue.

The words they shouted could not be heard clearly, because they were not any existing language. If they had to be transliterated, Cthulhu and R'lyeh were two words that they often mentioned that were relatively close.

When the sacrifice was about to end, the captain tied to the wooden frame was also used as a sacrifice to be offered to the gods believed in by the aborigines.

At this critical moment, the young man who was also tied to the wooden frame, with a trance and pale face, suddenly seemed to be possessed by evil spirits, swaying his body crazily, and finally broke through the restraints of the vines on his body and rushed madly to the mysterious statue in the center of the altar.

When he held the statue high in the moonlight, all the aborigines around him seemed to be frightened, and they all knelt on the ground, their trembling bodies and unclear sentences seemed to be communicating with an ancient existence, hoping that the great existence would not be angry with them because of such a change.

The captain seized this opportunity and kicked down the aboriginal who was about to execute him. With the help of the bonfire, he endured the severe pain and burned the vines wrapped around his hands, thus regaining his freedom.

When he completed this series of actions, the aboriginal who was executing him had been crawling on the ground, his face full of panic and fear, and he did not dare to make any other movements.

Although the captain felt strange when he saw this scene, he did not have time to think so much. He came to the young man who was still holding the statue high and shouted at him to follow him and leave the island.

The young man did not speak, but held the statue tightly with both hands and put it next to his right ear, as if he was listening carefully to something, and occasionally made a weird silly laugh.

The captain had to pull the young man's shoulder with one hand and forcibly pulled him away, while the aboriginals still knelt on the ground, allowing them to leave freely.

Arriving at the seaside, he drove the aboriginal fishing boat and quickly left the island.

When the captain looked at the island after leaving it for a distance, he seemed to see a huge and bloated life form, entrenched on the island, hidden in the sea and layers of fog.

"Cthulhu." The young man who had been stupid and crazy suddenly spoke, pointing his right index finger to the depths of the sea, shouting another word in a voice similar to the roar of a beast, "R'lyeh!"

This is the earliest record of Cthulhu and R'lyeh. As for the captain and the young man who left with the mysterious statue, what kind of follow-up and ending did they have, the intelligence never mentioned it again.

After reading it, Mrs. Lisa read the story again, trying to find something, but in the end she didn't get anything.

Today's Cthulhu Cult has gradually become known to the outside world because it has begun to frequently appear in coastal areas.

The believers of the Cthulhu Cult do not shy away from their beliefs. What they believe in is the great existence called Cthulhu.

As for R'lyeh, it is the underwater city where Cthulhu sleeps.

It is said that if a person is lucky enough to enter the city of R'lyeh under the sea, he can obtain endless wealth and power.

But the believers of the Cthulhu Cult do not believe in this great existence for this reason. Their biggest goal is to welcome the awakening of Cthulhu.

As for why they want to welcome the awakening of Cthulhu and what the purpose of doing so is, the intelligence did not mention it in detail, but only said that all the ultimate secrets pursued by the Cthulhu Cult may be hidden in a book called "The Book of Ebon".

In addition to these materials, the influence of the Cthulhu Cult is also mentioned.

It is said that the great existence Cthulhu will have a certain overlapping connection with a specific group of people through induction.

In the dream, he will invite the spiritual inspirers to visit the underwater holy city of R'lyeh, or stimulate those spiritual inspirers to look at the world again with a different dimension of vision, and perhaps teach some taboo knowledge that does not belong to this world and should be heard.

But when the dream ends, the spiritual inspirers will forget the memories in the dream, and some lucky ones can barely remember some fragments of the dream.

But without exception, they all become crazy, because this should not be a world they can touch, beyond the knowledge they can understand, and tear their spiritual world into pieces.

But there are also rumors that they will gain wisdom and understanding beyond ordinary people, and easily become painters and artists with rich imagination. Special talents.

Half a month ago, a very special architectural painting appeared in Pritz Harbor. It was from an ancient relic deep in the sea.

Unfortunately, the ancient underwater ruins in the painting are only the tip of the iceberg of the overall building, and people cannot get a glimpse of the true appearance of the underwater temple.

There is also a mysterious incident surrounding that painting. When the painting appeared in front of everyone at the exhibition, that night, everyone who saw the painting dreamed of a mysterious sea ruins, but when they woke up, they could only vaguely remember that they had gone to the depths of the sea and saw an ancient mysterious ruins. The specific appearance of the ruins was different, and it was impossible to piece together a complete underwater holy city from the fragmented description.

After that, a series of paintings about the ruins of the underwater holy city appeared on the market, which affected more people.

Before the second round of dreams began to erupt, the Church of the Stars and the Church of the Goddess of Night joined forces to take away all the underwater paintings that would emit influence, and control all the people who claimed to have seen the underwater holy city in their dreams.

So far, this underwater dream event has come to an end, and this is also the first event in which the Church of the Stars came into contact with Cthulhu and the Holy City of R'lyeh.

In the following days, a mysterious organization called the Cthulhu Cult began to gradually appear in the vision of major organizations. Apart from promoting its own doctrines and recruiting believers, it did not make any other noise.

As for the "Book of Eibon", the Cthulhu Cult seemed to have been searching for it.
