Darkness level: ＊＊＊＊＊Background knowledge : The so-called COC (Call of Cthulhu), also known as the Myth of Cthulhu, is a type of science fiction novel created by American science fiction writer Howard Philip Lovecraft. Unfortunately, Lovecraft did not have any influence when he was alive. After Lovecraft's death, his fanatical fan August William Derleth organized and developed it, and finally developed into a major genre of science fiction and horror novels. Many outstanding writers, including Stephen King, have written COC-themed science fiction and horror novels. There are a number of terrifying and powerful ancient gods in the Cthulhu mythology. Before dinosaurs appeared and the earth was still in its infancy, they had already come to the earth from distant outer galaxies. They became the rulers of the earth and brought their own religion, culture, etc. With them. But at a certain period in ancient times, these ancient gods all fell into a deep sleep for some unknown reason, until today. Of course, this is by no means the final outcome of the ancient gods. When Cthulhu, the priest of the gods, awakens from his tomb at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean, the gods will return to the world following Cthulhu's prayers, destroy all life on earth, and recreate their own kingdom! In my personal opinion, the reason why the Cthulhu Mythos attracts so many fans is that it pioneered the "abstract school" in horror novels. In Catholic philosophy, there is the so-called "believe because it is absurd" view. This view, which at first glance appears to be quite absurd, actually makes some sense. Because compared to God, human beings are too small and inferior. With the ridiculous wisdom of human beings, trying to understand and guess God is impossible. Therefore, in the Cthulhu mythology, there is almost no description of the image of the ancient gods. "Ineffable" is a common word among them. Just imagine how a two-dimensional creature would react if it saw a three-dimensional creature. Therefore, even if a mortal hears the words of the ancient god or just glances at the ancient god, he will fall into complete madness. It is precisely for this reason that the subject created by Lovecraft in the era when "realistic" horror novels were prevalent was completely unacceptable to readers when he was alive. The magazine that published his short stories received many complaints from readers. Angry readers asked the editor why he would publish such a novel in which even the author himself could not describe the appearance of a monster. ! However, COC is not entirely supported by an "ineffable". On the contrary, COC has a richly imaginative system of gods, which contains a large number of ancient gods with different characteristics, and their main god Azathoth is even more unique: Azathoth is located at the center of the universe. There is no shape at all. This idiot god without any intelligence operates entirely on instinct. Around him are countless waiters who also have no fixed shape. These waiters constantly play invisible flutes, beat invisible tambourines, and use various chaotic and crazy timbres to keep Azathoth calm. In my opinion, Azathoth is less a god than a symbol of the chaotic nature of the Old Gods.

How should I put it? Gao Sen has always had this style. He is a very reputable person with guaranteed updates (unfortunately, I am not)
