Azathoth originally wanted to catch it back, but the dagger's desire to survive was extremely strong, and the content he wrote was inconsistent, which successfully aroused his curiosity, so the outstretched hand stopped in mid-air , After thinking for a moment, he retracted his sleeves and said calmly, "What are you going to do?"

Coffey was dumbfounded, his eyes widened, and he opened his mouth to say something, but after glancing at Wendy who completely ignored him, and Igor who was expressionless at this moment, he finally suppressed his doubts.

Maybe... Maybe it's the same dagger as the one that Bishop Gilbert carried before...

As for the familiar spirituality, pattern, and red light that flickered between the daggers, Coffey just pretended not to see them.

The dagger was afraid that Azathoth would press it back, and the written gestures were scribbled, and the content could barely be read: "There is something in this cave! They didn't find it!"

Hearing this, Igor took a deep look at Kofi who was standing beside him.

The black-haired boy felt aggrieved when he saw it: I really don't know what else is there besides bones and mounds of dirt!This dagger hurt me!

Dagger didn't know if he knew Kofi, but anyway, his behavior was extremely indulgent, and he didn't seem to intend to show mercy to his old club at all.It just finished writing the first few words when its body jumped up, and its sharp and bright tip instantly plunged into the edge of the one-meter-high stone slab.There is an inconspicuous groove there, which seems to be the result of years of water dripping through the stone, and it has been polished to a bad shape.The dagger pierced in like cutting tofu, and twisted from side to side in a humane manner. I don't know where it touched, and the wall against which the stone slab was backed suddenly vibrated.

A few seconds later, the amplitude of the vibration became stronger and stronger, and the entire cave was rattled, and clods of soil continued to fall from the artificially excavated roof.This could easily lead to landslides, but all the people present were bold and talented, and no one showed any signs of panic. Azathoth's calmness still had the feeling of 'I'll just watch you pretend to be x'.

Dagger lived up to the hype.About 1 minute later, people thought that it had been integrated with the cave wall for many years, and there was a large stone tablet around the stone slab, which was closely connected with the exposed stone slab. It turned out that it was not a stone slab covered with soil Buried, but the strong wind and dust flooded this forest of steles!

The content on the previous slate is still unclear, but those buried under the soil are well preserved, not only densely packed unknown characters can be seen, but also many suspected illustration patterns.

Kofi was still young, so he was already speechless. If he hadn't been trapped in the 'enemy camp', he would have sent a message to the headquarters to inform him of this unexpected change anyway.

But there are too many bosses around now, as soon as he put his hand in his pocket and put it on the mobile terminal, the little black-haired boy beside him turned his head and looked at him with a smile in his empty eye sockets.

Coffey's heart skipped a beat, and he subconsciously let go of the communication device.

At this time, Azathoth had already walked to the position of the first stone slab on the far left with great interest. There were far more characters than patterns on it, and it was difficult to understand the meaning that the writer wanted to express when he was unable to speak the language.But this is not a problem for Azathoth at all. In his opinion, any civilization in the universe has something in common. Some 'common sense' is still understandable.

For example, the core of language and characters.

A tentacle stretched out from under his cloak, shook off the hem of the outer robe, and gently stroked the engravings on the stone slab, feeling the spiritual imprint left by a certain intelligent creature thousands of years ago.

After two or three minutes, he nodded thoughtfully, took two steps forward under the gaze of the others, and began to read the next slate.

"..."

There was silence in the cave, only the sound of Azathoth moving.

After a while, Hugo asked, "How is it? What does it say?"

Relying on its huge computing power, it can easily crack a brand-new language with sufficient samples, but these are obviously not compatible with "sufficient samples", so at this time, it can only be a bored audience.

"Wait a minute." Azathoth made a calm gesture.

Dagger jumped down from the very beginning of the stone slab, triumphant and unable to restrain himself, followed Azathoth with twists and turns, like a puppy waiting to be fed by its master.After waiting for a long time for a response, it walked two steps to Azathoth and wrote impatiently: "I just said there is something else here? A great god who never bothers to deceive believers My lord, can you put..."

Azathoth bent down to pick it up and put it back: "I'll talk about it later."

"..."

Coffey suspected that he heard the scolding sound of the dagger, but somehow felt that it was too cowardly to say anything.

After another period of time, it seemed that the rain outside hadn't stopped. The terrain where the cave was located was very high, so the ground began to accumulate rainwater.Igor saw that Azathoth was advancing faster and faster, and finally moved on to the next place almost in a glance, and asked, "Did you find anything?"

"Hmm..." The god in the black cloak didn't reply to his family members immediately, but seemed to be a little unspeakable.

what happened?

A trace of doubt flashed in Igor's mind. During this period of time, he didn't just stand there in a daze. Although he couldn't read the words, at least there were images on the stele for reference.In the worst case, I would just pretend to be an illiterate child playing with pictures and talking. With this mentality, Igor also studied it a little bit.

Well, there are a group of grotesque creatures in this painting, all of which do not conform to human aesthetics. They look like a combination of birds and lizards, lying in front of an unclear-faced existence that is probably a god or a monarch. worship.

The painting might be of the group of creatures swimming...?It may also be hunting, the posture is very strange, and it is hard to understand without a written description.

The other painting is easier to understand. It shows a lot of dead bird-lizard combinations. Their limbs are scattered everywhere, which looks very tragic.

There is also a painting that depicts a monster, which is more abstract than a combination of birds and lizards. It is so ugly that it is indescribably ugly. A rough description is probably a mass of black entangled tentacles covered with messy growths. Organs appear to be both chaotic and unified.The monster in the painting floated in the sky, rubbing against the ground the existence that was unknown before, whether it was a god or a monarch, and the other combination of birds and lizards fled in all directions in shock and panic.

Igor always has an inexplicable feeling in his heart when he sees this place.He simply skipped the many murals in the middle, and went directly to the last few stone slabs, and found that even if he didn't understand this kind of characters, he could see the confusion of the sculptor at this moment.Where the previous texts were of moderate size and neatly aligned, these last ones are overstretched and razor-sharp.

The sculptor repeatedly wrote many lines of the same content on the last stone slab, each line was carved deeper and each line was larger, revealing a faint aura of frenzy.

And in the last painting, the one with the same blurred face and a very high and sacred status, but obviously not the same one who was pressed and rubbed on the ground before, led the surviving combination of birds and lizards to use a certain A scene where a machine moves away from the land.

... Igor always felt that this ending was not just as simple as moving another house. Judging from the previous research results and reports of the Federation, if this intelligent race hadn't been wiped out during the process of leaving, then I'm afraid it would have just traveled thousands of miles. In other galaxies, the project is as large as the history of human relocation.

But human beings were forced to leave because the earth was no longer suitable for habitation. What is the purpose of this race?

"I probably know what happened." At this moment, Azathoth said solemnly.

While speaking, he turned his head and glanced at the direction of the cave entrance. It was too far away from where the few people were now, and there was no light from the outside world at all.But at this time, it should have been dark outside, and it was still raining heavily. Even if he went out, he would be half-deaf and half-blind.

Igor felt that Azathoth was a little distracted.

From his understanding, Azathoth seldom loses his mind when he really decides to do something, and he still has mild perfectionist obsessive-compulsive disorder, so the pause and evasion at this time obviously represent one thing: the stone on the slate The records are not only difficult for the other party to describe, but they also don't want to tell others.

Sure enough, after pausing for a few breaths, Azathoth said slowly: "I think the humans outside seem to be in trouble. It may have something to do with what the Holy See and the Federation are studying here."

With such a blatant way of changing the subject, even Wendy felt something was wrong.

Only Kofi didn't know much about Azathoth because he had never been with Azathoth. He thought he had really noticed some dangerous changes, so he reflexively asked, "What happened outside? Is there an enemy?"

"It depends on what results you have researched." Azathoth actually answered his question, "But, if we don't go out now, everyone on this island may die."

"I saw... some creatures that I don't know how to describe." The things that can make Azathoth feel strange are basically not evolved little by little following the process of history. "They ran out of the research institute and shut down. The siren is off. It should be because of the heavy rain and the dark sky. The human male who weighs three Igors has not been found yet, but his IQ is only one-third of Igor’s, so it should not be found. That's normal too."

"Those creatures first ate a few pigs, and then ate a few chickens."

"They don't seem very satisfied now and are starting to wander around in the heavy rain."

What Azathoth didn't say was that ever since he read the records on the stone wall, he always felt that the creatures outside the cave gave him a familiar feeling.

They are definitely not the aboriginals of this planet, but they unexpectedly carry a bit of aboriginal aura.
