In the quiet study room, Qin Zhibo thought to himself.

The software developed by Taku Itakura is related to Cthulhu.

The intriguing code words left by Belmode, coupled with the "green signal", will appear in the shape of an octopus head on the electronic screen, affecting the minds of those who are not firm-minded.

In addition, according to Elena Miyano's recording, part of the research on the predecessor of APTX-4869 was to combat deep dive syndrome, which was the result of research by Shiroji Pharmaceutical, a subsidiary of STK Group.

The Deep Diver Syndrome is related to the loyal followers of Cthulhu - the Deep Divers.

There was no computer technology a hundred years ago, so Renya Karasuma went to Enkai and met with Satogya, probably in order to survive until the era of computer technology appeared.

If all this is planned for something, then it is most likely the legend that believers have always believed in - the resurrection of Cthulhu.

It's just that in the "legend" mentioned by Yasuharu Haneda, there is no mention of computer software, drugs and other conditions for resurrection.

What do they have to do with the alignment of the stars?

…

"This is the only way to revive Cthulhu?" Qin Zhibo asked again.

Haneda Yasuharu thought for a moment and shook her head in ignorance, "This is not very clear, but this is the most widely circulated statement among believers."

"Looking at you, have you thought of something?"

After Qin Zhibo considered it, he said: "I don't know if there is an absolute connection, but is it possible that the black organization is preparing for the resurrection of Cthulhu?"

"But when it comes to the stars aligning, I remember the Beast Brotherhood people once saying the term 'the stars align.'"

"They once said that 'that lord' of the Beast Brotherhood will use Pandora's Stone to perform a certain ritual when the stars return."

"Do you know what ceremony they are going to perform?"

Haneda Yasuharu's expression changed slightly, it was obvious that he knew about this.

After a few seconds of silence, he breathed a sigh of relief, "Logically speaking, I shouldn't tell you this, but now... who cares?"

"Actually, the Beast Brotherhood is an ancient organization that existed a long time ago. Their organization believes in legendary creatures called 'Beasts'. But in fact, the Brotherhood worships the ancient Egyptian high priest, the Black Pharaoh Nevron Ka

prophecy..."

"That is, Nevren Ka's soul will be reincarnated in a human body in a certain era in the future, and this person will bring boundless chaos and darkness to the world."

"So the so-called 'ritual' you heard should be Nevren Ka's reincarnation ceremony."

"The reincarnation ritual requires three conditions: the 'correct' time in the prophecy, the body of a descendant of Nevron Ka, and the magic stone of life - Pandora."

"This Life Magic Stone has many names in history, such as the most famous 'Philosopher's Stone' in the world."

"As far as I know, the last time this stone appeared belonged to an organization calling itself the 'Magic Eye Alliance'."

"Magic Eye Alliance?" Qin Zhibo repeated it again.

"Yes." Yasuharu Haneda stood up and walked behind the desk, opened the drawer, pulled out a photo from it, and handed it to Qin Zhibo.

Qin Zhibo took the photo, which showed a symbol painted on a yellow stone slab, somewhat similar to a human eye with tears dripping from the corner of its eye.

Yasuharu Haneda explained: "The one on this photo is the former mark of the Magic Eye Alliance. This so-called Magic Eye is the Eye of Horus in Egypt."

"According to legend, the Black Pharaoh Nefren Ka once implemented a brutal rule in Egypt, and blood sacrifices of thousands of people became the norm. It was the Magic Eye Alliance that summoned the people to resist the rule until Nefren Ka died, finally overthrowing the Third Dynasty of Egypt."

"In order to prevent Nevlen Ka's reincarnation prophecy from coming true, the Magic Eye Alliance has been guarding Pandora's Stone."

Listening to Yasuharu Haneda's words, Qin Zhibo suddenly remembered that such a scene had happened when he was reading "The Secret of Worms".

The author of "The Secret of the Worm", Ludwig Purin, summoned the Lord of the Dead Tombs, Baron Samedi, on the condition of a cigar and a cemetery, and asked a question.

Ludwig Purin asked Baron Samedi whether the Black Pharaoh of ancient Egypt was one of the incarnations of Nyarlathotep, the God of Many Faces.

And Baron Samedi wrote an affirmative answer on the sand.

The Black Pharaoh is one of the incarnations of the God of Many Faces, and Nevron Ka should be just the spokesperson for Nyarlathotep's support in the world.

After all, Nyarlathotep has had a thousand incarnations, and no one knows what his true origin is.

In other words, the purpose of the Beast Brotherhood, the zoo organization, is actually to resurrect the gods?

Why are these organizations so keen on resurrecting gods?

What is happening to this world?

Qin Zhibo was silent for a moment and then asked: "This information was all investigated by Chunjing Fengchuan?"

"Yes, it's a pity that he was poisoned by the Brotherhood after the investigation was completed..."

Harujing Fengden is the grandfather of the murderer in the previous case of the magician lover.

He was a master of escape magic and a Class B agent of the Nine Angels. He died in an accident during a performance, but was actually assassinated by the Beast Brotherhood.

The magicians who were also assassinated by the Beast Brotherhood were the former Kaitou Kidd and Kuroba Toichi.

However, the Black Feather Thief knew early on that he would not escape death. In order to avoid harming his family, he took the initiative to die and relied on the physique of the dreamer to still live in the dreamland.

The real Pandora's Stone is actually the "Crimson Tears", a gem in the hands of the flame magician's granddaughter, and a secret that Kuroha Toichi has always kept.

In other words, Kuroba Toichi and the flame magician should be members of the "Magic Eye Alliance".

…

After collecting a lot of secrets, Qin Zhibo felt inexplicably more satisfied.

However, Qin Zhibo did not know whether it was the core specific plan of the black organization or the plan of the Beast Brotherhood.

Regarding the Beast Brotherhood's plan, maybe we can get some idea of ​​it when we find Black Feather Thief in the Dreamland.

But the black organization's plan remains a mystery.

I just know that the black organization has completed basic research on the software. Although Itakura Taku refuses to cooperate for the sake of human welfare, the boss of the organization obviously knows that eggs should not be put in one basket.

At the "Cocoon" press conference, the accident caused by the "green signal" may have been an organizational experiment.

However, the research on APTX-4869 has no specific results for the time being. Apart from causing death and a small number of people being able to shrink in size after taking it, I don’t know what other uses it has.

But these two things still cannot be connected with "the stars return to their alignment"...

While Qin Zhibo was thinking, Haneda Yasuharu handed over a piece of paper with a series of numbers written on it.

"This is Mary's number. She is now settled in England with her daughter."

"You can contact her after arriving in the UK. Since Akai Mutake's incident, she will not trust anyone's phone calls. You can only meet and chat with her."

Qin Zhibo glanced at the number above and put it away silently.

Haneda Yasuharu added: "What Hideyoshi said, it's not too late to wait until Mari comes to Japan to tell him, otherwise if you tell him now, this child will also..."

"well……"

Haneda Yasuharu groaned, then shook her head, "Forget it, it's up to you to make the decision."

"Actually, Hideyoshi is currently competing for the 'Seventh Crown'. 17 years ago, Koji was the closest chess player to the Seventh Crown. Unfortunately, he was in the United States..."

"So I have placed too many wishes on Hideyoshi, hoping that he can complete Koji's unfinished business."

"If I tell him about Shuichi, Hideyoshi will definitely be distracted and affect his chess game... But it's still too selfish of me to think this way."

"Hideyoshi lives in the castle apartment in Yoneka Town. You can find him at any time."

After saying that, Yasuharu Haneda sat on the chair with a heavy expression.

At this time, Qin Zhibo finally knew the name of Shuichi's younger brother. It turned out to be "Hideyoshi" and he lived in Mihua, Japan.

Bah... This place is not pleasant to live in.

However, Qin Zhibo did not intend to find Hideyoshi immediately. After all, Yasuharu Haneda said so, and he still had the courage to look for it. He really did not understand the ways of the world.

After Britain finds "Mary", let the family make their own decisions and avoid sticking their own pans.

Eh?

Mary? It’s such a familiar name. I feel like I’ve heard it somewhere before?

Qin Zhibo frowned slightly and thought for a few seconds, but he couldn't remember it and had to give up.

Before leaving, Qin Zhibo asked Haneda Yasuharu one last question.

"Have you ever heard of the name 'Wakasa Rumi'?"

Haneda Yasuharu was startled for a moment and shook her head.

"I don't remember, probably not."

"Oh, that's okay."

Qin Zhibo turned around and walked out of the study.

…

After leaving the Haneda family's mansion, Qin Zhibo drove to Mihua Town.

After getting first-hand information about Akai's family, I must tell Akai Shuichi as soon as possible, which can be regarded as a reassurance for people who have lost their memory.

Otherwise, with Akai Shuichi's speed of recovery and vigilance, coupled with Toru Amuro who often doesn't deal with him, Qin Zhibo is really worried that Akai Shuichi will suddenly leave after recovering his health.

By the time we arrived at the Mokuba House in Mikka Town, it was already dusk.
