In the mysterious world of Cthulhu, I am the Lord of the Gods

"No. 56 Black Knight Street, as fast as possible."

"I'll give you an extra 2 kt tip."

Crowley got on a carriage and urged.

The driver nodded and whipped the horse vigorously.

A carriage sped through the dark night and stopped at No. 56 Black Knight Street half an hour later.

A figure jumped off the carriage and walked into the Black Moon Detective Agency at an extremely fast speed.

"Claure, it's incredible to see you so late at night."

Delia at the front desk was surprised when she saw that the person coming was Claure.

"Is the captain here?"

Claure asked hurriedly, not wanting to waste any more time.

"Yes, can't you find it yourself?"

Delia said, no longer paying attention to Claure, and turned to read her newspaper.

Claure took a look and saw that it was "Women's Voice", one of the three most popular gossip newspapers among women in Kate's country.

"When did she start liking to read newspapers instead?"

Klauer muttered and quickly walked towards the entertainment hall on the second floor.

Three colleagues were playing cards at this time, two men and one woman.

That's Kiraji, who likes to cosplay as scary Allen and Dolly.

"Dong dong dong."

Klauer quickly knocked on Captain Ian's office door.

"Claude, you don't need to be on duty today. What happened?"

When Ian saw Klauer's hurried expression, he frowned and said in a deep voice.

"Captain, I seem to have obtained some clues about Shadow."

"He may be related to Archbishop Kaneris Hugen of the Church of the Lord of Elements."

"I suspect he's been contaminated."

Claure organized his speech and told Captain Ian about the abnormality he found in the landlord Field Henry when he met him tonight.

"The Dunston pocket watch from the bishop of the Suzhi Church is very likely to be a taboo object of great origin. Anyone who touches it may be contaminated."

After Claure finished speaking, he handed Ian a photo of a silver chain pocket watch held by a large hand.

"The New Lane Cathedral will reopen tomorrow and there will be a grand opening ribbon-cutting ceremony tomorrow."

"I was also invited to watch the ribbon-cutting ceremony."

"The Dunston pocket watch is worn at the ribbon-cutting ceremony."

Ian finished speaking and pulled out a pocket watch from his pocket that looked exactly like the one in the photo.

"Are you sure there's something wrong with it?"

Ian said with a serious expression.

"Captain, can you test it?"

"Do a deep pollution test on it?"

Klauer observed carefully for a moment and finally said.

"We need Mr. Lin's help, but he hasn't been here for a few days. Delia said he was sick."

Captain Ian said.

"Is Mr. Lin sick?"

Claure was a little bit surprised after hearing this. Could it be possible for a supernatural being to get sick?

Could it be that there is something wrong with Mr. Lin’s health?

Klauer had a bad feeling.

"By the way, Mr. Lin will also attend the ribbon-cutting ceremony for the opening of the Niu Lai Ni Church tomorrow."

"He has a pretty good relationship with Bishop Kaneris. He is a senior historian."

"Kainris is an authority on the history of the First and Second Eras."

Ian added.

"Perhaps, we should go visit Mr. Lin tonight."

After thinking for a moment, Klauer said seriously.

"To be safe, the sooner the better."

Ian nodded to Krall in agreement.

The two quickly walked towards the reception hall on the second floor.

"Kiraji, Alan, you follow too."

Captain Ian saw Kiraji and Allen playing cards, hesitated for a moment, and finally called Kiraji and Allen over.

When Kiraji and Allen heard that they were going to visit Mr. Lin, they readily agreed.

The carriage soon stopped at a small villa on White Oak Street in the university town area.

This is a relatively remote area in Southwell, close to the White Goose River.

Mr. Lin’s villa is not big, only two stories high, with a sloping roof. There is a small lawn in front of the villa and an external corridor at the entrance.

The lights in the villa were flickering, and it was obvious that the owner inside had not yet rested.

Claure felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere when he was within 10 meters of the villa.

He stopped.

Kiraji obviously sensed that something was wrong, and he opened his arms, signaling everyone not to come near.

The flickering firelight cast a thick black shadow on the window, and this black shadow stood in front of the hazy glass window like a real person.

The black shadow seemed to be carved on the window, motionless, and it seemed to be staring at the visitor with a gloomy look.

"Everyone, be careful."

Upon seeing this, the captain pulled out a shield-shaped badge from his bosom. The moment the badge was taken out, it emitted a soft white light.

Surrounded by white light, Klauer felt as if he was bathing in the warm winter sun.

Klauer knew that what Captain Ian was holding at this moment was a Level I abnormal item from the armory, and its name was "Holy Emblem of the Sun".

The badge is stained with a drop of golden blood of an ancient god of light.

Praising the sun has the property of purifying pollution and can also be used as a weapon against evil spirits and malevolent spirits.

However, its side effects are also very obvious, and the holder can only hold it for fifteen minutes at a time.

Once fifteen minutes have passed, the holder will be assimilated by the abnormal object and turned into a glowing idiot.

After the white light dispelled the shadows, everyone arrived at the gate of the villa.

"dong dong dong..."

Captain Ian knocked on the villa door.

"Who?"

A hoarse voice came from the villa.

The voice sounded like it came from the abyss of hell, cold and without any emotion.

Klauer was startled by the sudden sound.

"It's me, Ian. I heard that you haven't been feeling well lately and haven't come to work for several days."

"I just happened to pass by your house and came to see you."

Ian said in a calm voice.

"Captain, my body is...completely healed."

"You don't have to come in."

"Please go back. If you have anything to say, we can talk about it tomorrow..."

There came the extremely tired and intermittent voice of Mr. Lin.

"It's okay, Mr. Lin, I just want to see you."

"Please open the door. I don't have to come in and sit. I just want to make sure you're okay."

Ian continued in a calm voice.

At this moment, a violent roar came from the room:

"Ian, you're lying!"

"I know you came here specifically to find us and target us!"

Then there was the sound of hands hammering on the table.

Klauer was shocked by the sudden change.

"Captain, I know you are doing this for my own good, but I'm really fine."

"I just feel a little unwell."

"Tomorrow, just wait till tomorrow, and I'll be completely fine."

"Really, I beg you, please go back."

Then, Mr. Lin's tone returned to his usual calmness, and his voice was extremely peaceful, with a hint of begging.

"team leader?"

Klauer cautiously indicated to Ian that something was wrong.

Yin En waved to Claure, and then said in a gentle tone:

"Mr. Lin, you know that I have always respected you. We have been through so much together."

"You always stand in front of me at the most dangerous moment."

"Remember that time at Raphael Cemetery?"

"If you hadn't shown up in time, Carlis and I would have been broken by the zombie monster right there and then."

"Also, at the Danli Port Pier on the White Goose River, when we were chasing the out-of-control extraordinary person Carlley, we were attacked frantically by him. At the critical moment, you stood in front of me, Delia's father, Old Danny, and me."

"And you were chasing Ens Lee at the Crystal Palace Theatre. Between Xiaoyi and me, you chose to save me."

"That night, you lost your beloved daughter, Xiaoyi. The next day was Xiaoyi's birthday, so you specially prepared her the most beloved gift, a blue crystal flying sword worth 2 cat pounds."

......

Ian kept talking to Mr. Lin.

"Shut up, Ian, you bastard. It's all your fault. You killed Xiaoyi. If you hadn't taken her to see Romeo and Juliet, how could Xiaoyi have met the terrible Ens Lee?"

"It's you who hasn't killed Ens Lee in all these years. It's you who is incompetent..."

"Get out, get out now, I don't want to see you!"

"Not at all!"

Soon there were furious roars in the room.

Hearing this, Ian's eyes turned red, his fists clenched, and an angry and ferocious expression appeared on his face.

"Captain, Captain, calm down."

Seeing this, Claure hurried to comfort him.

Ian took a deep breath, exhaled slowly, and said after calming down.

"I'm fine..."

"Mr. Lin, you are right. I am incompetent. For so many years, I have not been able to kill Ens Lee. I should have died long ago."

"Mr. Lin, at that time, I really hoped that you would choose to save my beloved fiancée Xiaoyi instead of me. In this way, I would not have to live in pain and guilt forever."

Ian finished speaking, his eyes reddening.

"Mr. Lin, no matter what you say, I will see you tonight."

"Just one look, just one look at you. If you're okay, I'll turn around and leave immediately."

"Open the door, Mr. Lin."

“I really do care about you.”

Ian said in a begging voice.

"Hey~"

"All right..."

The room was quiet for a long time, and finally, a sigh was heard.

Then the door of the villa suddenly opened slowly.

A stream of crimson-black liquid flowed out from the hall.

Everyone turned their eyes to the villa.

I found a wooden table in the hall, which was filled with various glass containers of different sizes.

The container was filled with scarlet liquid.

On one side of the long wooden table, there is a bronze coffin.

Inside the coffin, there was a white skeleton.

The skull is filled with various human organs.

There is a heart, liver, spleen, kidney, stomach...

Countless straws connected the glass container and the bronze coffin, and scarlet liquid was continuously poured from the glass container into the bronze coffin.

At this time, Mr. Lin's eyes were dull. In his hand, he was holding a container with green transparent liquid, and inside this container was a human brain.

"Ian, you're here."

"Wow, wow, look, did you see it?"

"I'm fine, I'm not sick..."

"I don't have any problem, go back."

After saying this, Mr. Lin grinned, revealing his eerie teeth filled with scarlet liquid.

"Mr. Lin, are you...are you really okay? What are you holding in your hand?"

"What are you going to do?"

Ian lowered his voice and spoke hoarsely.

"What should I do?"

"Hohoho~ Of course, I want to resurrect my daughter, your fiancée~"

"As long as I put the human brain in my hand into the coffin and inject blood."

"Xiaoyi will be resurrected and wake up from the coffin."

"Ian, don't you want Xiaoyi to be resurrected? You must want it, right?"

After saying this, Mr. Lin grinned at Ian again, revealing his sinister and bleeding teeth.

"Mr. Lin, do you really think you are normal?"

"Who told you that Xiaoyi can be resurrected through this method?"

Ian's eyes were red, he held the glowing badge tightly in his hand, and walked towards Mr. Lin step by step.

"It's Shadow!"

"The great Mr. Shadow told me. He has been whispering in my ear. He said that as long as I follow His method and hold a sacrificial ceremony that is unique to Him, He will grant me great power."

"Ian, I swear I didn't hurt anyone. I bought all the materials I used for the sacrificial ceremony with my own money."

"I use my own blood, my organs, including... including my... brain!"

When Mr. Lin said this, he seemed to suddenly realize something?

He turned around and walked towards the corner where there was a floor-to-ceiling mirror.

He took a photo of himself now, without a heart, liver, spleen, kidneys, stomach or brain...

He now turned into a monster with a cannibalistic face, eight octopus legs, and a foul odor all over his body.

"Wow, wow, wow~ I can't believe I've become like this..."

"I've turned into a monster!"

"It's all your fault, it's all your fault!"

"I'm going to kill you all. No one can stop me from resurrecting Xiaoyi."

Mr. Lin suddenly turned around and let out a long, shrill howl at Ian.

"Quack quack~~~"

After the sound, Klauer and others felt as if their heads were hit by heavy hammers, and blood flowed from their nostrils.

"Ian, Little Claure, Alan, and Kiraji."

"Ah~ It's you..."

"I remember now, you are my colleagues, I...can't kill you..."

After the octopus finished roaring, it climbed along the wall and finally hung on the chandelier on the ceiling.

The man-eating clown's face turned back into Lin Lao's.

"Come on, follow me!"

Elder Lin's face was distorted and he looked painful.

"Try to control it. I need a moment to breathe."

Ian said in a hoarse voice.

At the same time, he held high the glowing badge in his hand.

"You want to kill me!"

"Hohoho~ You...actually want to kill me!"

"You all deserve to die!"

The moment Ian raised the badge in his hand, Mr. Lin showed an extremely resentful expression on his face, and then countless tentacles grew out of his entire face and attacked Ian, Claure, Kiraji and Allen.

"Restraint!"

At this moment, Kiraji waved his hand, and a black rag made of an unknown object flew towards the tentacles.

The moment the black cloth touched the tentacles, it exploded instantly and turned into countless black threads. The threads quickly weaved together, wrapping the man-eating monster like a cocoon.

"Light!"

At this moment, Ian chanted the spell of light in magic language.

"boom!"

An extremely powerful beam of light penetrated the roof directly from high above and enveloped the man-eating monster wrapped in a black cocoon.

"Boom!"

Countless lights rushed towards the carnivorous plant monster like a waterfall.

It lasted for half a minute. After the dazzling light disappeared, everyone found that the entire roof of the wooden villa was melted by the white light, and a huge hole appeared on the ceiling.

The man-eating monster had long disappeared, and under the ceiling, there was a dark mark of an octopus with eight tentacles.

And that strange black rag was thrown on the black octopus mark without any damage.

Seeing this, Jiraji walked over, picked up the black rag and put it back into his arms.

The others looked at the black dust on the floor in silence.

After a full 10 minutes, Claure said:

"Captain, what should we do next?"

After saying this, Klauer found that his voice had completely changed, as if he had a bad cold.

He was startled by the sound of his own voice.

"Alan, clean up the scene and destroy all the sacrificial materials."

"Klauer, Kiraji, the two of you come with me to search the room and see if there are any suspicious objects left behind."

Captain Ian's voice also sounded as if he had a bad cold, which also scared Claure.

---

"Captain, I found a notebook and the pocket watch."

Klauer found a yellowed notebook in the drawer in the hall.

When Ian saw the notebook, he couldn't wait to open it.
