Chapter 842: God from Slavic
Kirihota Onitsuka: "During this period, our people have joined hands with experts in religion, folklore, and mysticism to study and investigate the symbol left by Kazu Ezaki and appeared on the time scroll of the Utsushima Barbarian Woman. The specific research process is written in the report in your hand."
"Preliminary speculation screened out many possible related symbols, but after careful elimination and further discussion and research, the scholars finally gave relatively consistent reference opinions - they all believed that this symbol should be derived from the ancient Slavic mythology system, called Krovlat."
According to the story of the little witch, during the period when Kamiya Chuan spent most of his energy in the ordinary world to enhance the strength of his forces, the countermeasures room in the present world also did a lot of work.
Moreover, even Wu's future vision did not directly see through the true identity of the "Izumi Ugly Woman", but the countermeasures room concentrated its efforts to do things and found some clues and clues for reference.
While listening to Onitsuka's brief description, Kamiya Chuan continued to flip through the materials in his hand to obtain more information related to "Krovlat".
According to the information, the word "Krovlat" is a pure transliteration, which refers to the symbol itself and has no actual meaning.
It is also possible that the word "Krovlat" originally had a meaning, but due to its age, its true meaning has become impossible to verify.
This situation is related to the situation of Slavic culture and mythology itself.
Slavic mythology belongs to a dying mythology system -
The Slavs were one of the three major barbarians in Europe.
Before the 10th century AD, the Slavic nation had not formed a relatively unified centralized power, nor had a mature writing system, so the worship of gods was more in the form of word of mouth.
After the 10th century, with the strong invasion of Christian culture, the already fragmented Slavic gods system was shattered.
Even most of the Slavic native mythology materials that exist today were recorded and preserved by Christian missionaries who preached in Eastern Europe during this period.
In this way, the situation of Slavic mythology is similar to that of the Ainu mythology system in Japan, which was "dismembered" by Shintoism.
As for whether the fragmentation of the mythological belief system in the present world will have an impact on the gods behind it, based on Kamiya Kawa's personal experience, there will be some impact.
After all, the faith base provided by humans in the present world is huge and of high quality. The fragmentation and extinction of the mythological system in the present world means that the ancient Slavic gods have become unable to obtain this resource. Without the faith supply provided by the present world, the difficulty coefficient will definitely increase if they want to resist the invasion of the "God's Nest Projection" into the Slavic mythological world.
However, this kind of thing cannot be generalized.
For example, the Milk Sea myth belongs to a mythological system that still has a huge faith supply even in the present world, but from a practical point of view, the gods of the Milk Sea still died because they could not resist the invasion of the foreign nest.
"Anyway, if the real identity of the ugly woman of Quanjin is really a god from Slavic mythology, then the Slavic mythology world behind her must no longer exist." Kamiya thought.
Combined with the "Hypochondria Barbarian Woman" incident.
The image of the "Barbarian Princess" recorded in the incident is not an Asian face, so it is speculated that she may have drifted from Britain, Bangladesh or Russia. This point corresponds to the conclusion that the symbol "Krovlat" comes from Slavs.
Let's look at the data description of the symbol "Krovlat" itself.
The data in Kamiya's hand gives some reference images of Krovlat, a considerable part of which seems to be derived from unearthed ceramic artifacts, and there are some variant images.
For example, there is a central pattern with two overlapping crosses, and a left-turning line extends from each end of the cross.
But no matter what kind of variant, it cannot escape the basis of the "cross with left-turning spiral arms" in the center of the circular pattern. The only difference is the number of spiral arms.
As for the meaning of the Krovlat symbol, scholars who study Slavic culture today cannot reach a unified conclusion and there is constant controversy. There are currently three mainstream opinions and analyses:
Some people believe that this image represents the wheels of a chariot.
Some people believe that it represents the "air and water" elements in ancient alchemy.
Others believe that it symbolizes the cycle of life and rebirth.
Combining the information in Kamiya's hand, Onitsuka Kirihota continued to explain:
"At present, it can only be roughly determined that the true identity of the so-called 'Occult Hour Haishi' and the 'Impostor' is a god in Slavic mythology, or at least something similar to a god. After the destruction of the Slavic mythology world, he survived by chance, and by chance came to Japan with the help of the virtual ship, and then joined the forces of Huangquan, and then began to act under the new name of a god, that is, Izumizu Ushio."
"However, there is a contradiction in this speculation, that is, the virtual ship barbarian incident is recorded as occurring in the Edo period, but if Haishi is really Izumizu Ushio, he should have come to Japan much earlier."
"If the inference is correct, then there are only two explanations for this contradiction-"
"One is the incident of the Xuzhou Barbarian Girl. It actually happened in an older era. There are certain fallacies in the spread of this incident. In other words, the so-called story that happened in the Heian period itself is the later people's understanding of the older time. An allusion to the story.”
"The other is that maybe there is another Izumi Ugly Girl in Japan. And this Huangquan God itself fell and died in the subsequent God War. Later, when he arrived in Japan, he inherited the name of this fallen old god in some way. . For example, accepting the divine bones that originally belonged to Quanjin Chou Nu.”
From this, I have learned a lot about ordinary situations from Kamiya, and the summary of the little witch is quite comprehensive and clear.
"Well, judging from the current situation, it is indeed possible." Kamiya nodded.
He felt that Yingying's logical ability was always online, and she often hit the nail on the head when analyzing events.
Following this conjecture, let’s review the experience of Haishi——
Not only did he escape the destruction of his own mythical world, he also survived the subsequent fierce battle between gods in Izumo to this day...
What an ultimate endurance king.
He is so alive and his vitality cannot be said to be tenacious.
"Because the Kroflat symbol is obviously associated with Haishi, it is now speculated that this symbol is related to His former authority. Combining the current analysis of the three meanings of the Kroflat symbol, we can analyze His true identity Made some speculations——"
Onizuka continued speaking, and raised three slender white fingers and waved them gently in front of Kamiyakawa.
"First, the God of War, which symbolizes the chariot wheel. The supreme god Sventovit in Slavic mythology, as well as the 'three-faced' Triglav, both have strong beliefs in the God of War. However, considering the behavior of Heshi, I think it’s very unlikely that he was originally the God of War.”
"Second, the god of magic who symbolizes the alchemical element. There are only two related Slavic gods whose specific names are currently known. The prototype is Zanilcha, a black dragon who is also the source of magic, and the death and chicken-foot witch Baba Yaga.”
"Third, the goddess of fertility, Siwa, who symbolizes the cycle of life."
"In addition, it cannot be ruled out that He is an ancient Slavic god or mythical creature whose name has been passed down. Among the existing conjectures, I personally prefer that the true identity of Haishi is Siwa, the goddess of fertility."
"You said reproduction." Kamiyakawa thought about Onitsuka's words, and soon understood the latter's brain circuit, "Hai Toki changes the identity by opening the victim's abdomen from the inside... Hotaru, what do you think? The act symbolizes reproduction? Uh... He 'brought' himself out of the victim's body?"
"I do think so." Onizuka nodded.
Well, this interpretation of "reproduction" is really too scary and weird.
However, there is a certain possibility.
And compared to the supreme god Sventoveit, the source of magic Zanilcha, etc., these gods give people the impression that they are of extremely high style at first glance.
It really doesn’t match the tone of what Haishi did.
In comparison, the levels of "Baba Yaga, the witch of death and chicken feet" and "Siwa, the goddess of fertility" are more consistent with Haishi.
Also, Kamiya also felt just now that Haishi's vitality is extremely tenacious. His true identity may not be the most capable of fighting among the old Slavic gods, but he must be the most capable of surviving.
Thinking about it this way, the possibility that she is Shiva, the fertility goddess symbolizing the cycle of life, increases.
Kamiyagawa: "So, these are all the information related to Haishi that we have so far, right?"
Onizuka Kiriho: "That's right. The Countermeasures Room is investigating Shiva, the goddess of reproduction, but there are too few Slavic mythological records in existence. It is really impossible to confirm to what extent we can know exactly."
To grasp the true identity of Haishi or Quanjin Chou Girl, at least we can know ourselves and our enemies. If we are lucky, we might even be able to go one step further and find Haishi's current hiding place in advance.
Even though Satoru's "future vision" can't sense that place, it can't be said that it will never be found.
Kamiya unconditionally trusts Satoru, but he will not completely rely on Satoru.
In short, the investigation currently being conducted by the Countermeasures Room is beneficial and harmless.
"Firefaction, try your best to gather the personnel investigating these matters together. I will arrange manpower to guard and protect the relevant personnel." Kamiyakawa put down the information in his hand and said, "As soon as the matter progresses, we will contact you at any time. Contact me. Also, be careful."
As he spoke, he raised his right hand and made a weak gesture.
A thin and bright red thread floated out from his wrist and connected with Onizuka's wrist.
"I understand."
Onizuka felt the pulse-like beating sensation on his wrist and nodded seriously.
"Then next..." Kamiyagawa stood up from the sofa, "To be on the safe side, I want to check you out."
"examine?"
Onizuka watched Kamiyakawa lock the office door and tighten the curtains with a clang, feeling a little confused.
"Yes, relax. Now, turn around..."
"Okay... okay..."
In the dim room, the bright red rope that tied the two people tightened and loosened, fluttering.
However, Kamiya Kawa's personal "physical examination" level is not very high, mainly focusing on the spirit and breath level. As for the strength of flesh and blood, he has a more professional flesh and blood doctor under his command.
So, Onitsuka worked hard for a while in accordance with Kamiya's instructions.
In the end, the latter chose to spend more time and summoned the foot-selling old woman to the present world after several rounds of turnover... (End of this chapter)
