Chapter 325: The Star Chart of the Ancient One Seeking Sirius seemed to be the best course of action for Liu Xing and his companions, as they felt it necessary to gather information about the Shoggoth. Ling Ishikawa and the others understood this and nodded in agreement. "Oh, by the way, any thoughts on Matsui Ichiro’s recent statements? What intrigues me the most is the travel writer he mentioned. Could it be Li Yongjie?" Miyako Goudong spoke up. Ling Ishikawa raised an eyebrow and said seriously, "Miyako Goudong, are you suggesting that there might be issues with Inoue Kenjiro’s two letters?" Miyako Goudong nodded affirmatively, "Exactly. Just like we discussed this morning, we might have jumped to conclusions initially and added some details to Alice. So, I started observing Alice and Matsui Ichiro after entering the Ancestral Hall of Fisher’s Village." "Therefore, I’ve reached a conclusion. Unless Alice and Matsui Ichiro are exceptional actors, we might have misjudged some things. Alice and Matsui Ichiro aren’t the people we imagined... Of course, the fact that Alice is a high-ranking member of the Deep Sea Gospel Society has been confirmed by Watanabe Ryuusei and Ling Ishikawa. So, that part is certain." "So, now I think Alice is just an ordinary person like us who accidentally entered Fisher’s Village. As for Matsui Ichiro, he might indeed be the Village Chief of Fisher’s Village. Of course, I’m not saying Matsui Ichiro is a good person. There are still many unanswered questions, such as the issues with the two letters, the Composite Magic Array, the relationship between the Inoue family and Matsui Ichiro, and the hypnosis Matsui Ichiro used while reciting the ritual text." "The most crucial question, however, is why the villagers of Fisher’s Village have become the way they are now," Liu Xing interjected suddenly. Though Liu Xing wanted to share his latest thoughts, "Watanabe Ryuusei" lacked information about Shoggoth. So, Liu Xing had to keep his thoughts to himself for the time being and wait for a suitable opportunity. However, Liu Xing could still drop some hints to Ling Ishikawa and others, "I still believe Matsui Ichiro might not be the big boss of Fisher’s Village as we initially thought. He might just be an executor, assisting the behind-the-scenes boss in Fisher’s Village, who is probably the owner or leader of those mythical creatures." Zhang Jingxu furrowed his brows at Liu Xing’s words, evidently understanding the implication. "As far as I know, apart from individually powerful mythical creatures, most of them are communal. If you find one mythical creature, you can be sure there are more of the same kind nearby. The communal mythical creatures likely have a leader," Zhang Jingxu explained. "So, as Liu Xing mentioned earlier, in the old site of Fisher’s Village, those houses sealed with cemented doors and windows might contain more mythical creatures similar to the one Panda Pig saw earlier. And these leader-level mythical creatures probably have higher intelligence than us," Zhang Jingxu added. Liu Xing nodded, reluctantly saying, "So, I estimate there are at least five or more of these mythical creatures in Fisher’s Village, with one being a leader-level mythical creature. But the most important thing is, we probably can’t defeat any of them..." Liu Xing’s words left everyone silent, as, except for Lu Tianya, who was an NPC, everyone else knew these mythical creatures were Shoggoths. Understanding Shoggoth’s combat capabilities, the group realized that even if they combined their strength, they might not be able to defeat one Shoggoth, especially considering they seemed to move in groups. However, Liu Xing believed he still had an ace up his sleeve – the items Sirius left in the Underground Ruins. Hoping to find something useful among these items, Liu Xing decided it was the right time to go down and look for Sirius’s belongings. Now that he knew the location of Sirius’s room, he estimated it would take him only ten minutes to find the items and then explore other areas for potential discoveries. Thinking so, Liu Xing said to Zhang Jingxu, "Mr. Zhang Jingxu, is your condition fully recovered now? If so, please use Wall-Passing Technique on me now. I’ll go to the Underground Ruins to find some useful things." Zhang Jingxu closed his eyes, contemplating for a moment. Liu Xing guessed Zhang Jingxu was calculating his remaining MP and how much using Wall-Passing Technique this time would consume. After a while, Zhang Jingxu nodded and said seriously, "OK, no problem. I’ll cast Wall-Passing Technique on you now, Ryuusei. I believe you’ve mastered the basics of Wall-Passing Technique, so I won’t waste words." Upon hearing Zhang Jingxu’s words, Miyako Goudong and the others quickly removed the table and the brazier, cooperating well. Facing the entrance directly, in a place Liu Xing had previously overlooked, a massive bookshelf was installed after the wall was hollowed out. It held numerous bamboo scrolls, paper books, and various trinkets. Due to the distance, Liu Xing couldn’t see everything clearly. On the surrounding walls, besides the "branches," Liu Xing noticed many decorations, such as shells, stones of various colors, and some individual weapons and armor. It seemed to be the Ancient Tribe’s decorative work. Liu Xing couldn’t help but think it looked quite poorly decorated. However, at the top, Liu Xing saw a huge mural, or rather, a star chart. In the center of the chart, he saw the words "Earth." Wait a minute. Liu Xing raised an eyebrow; the writing on this star chart was clearly neither in Island Nation nor Chinese characters. It was a type of writing both "WatanabeRyuusei" and Liu Xing had never seen before. So, this should be the language of the Ancient One, as the Ancient Tribe lacked the ability for interstellar travel and wouldn’t have been able to create such a vast and detailed star chart. "So, have I learned the language of the Ancient One now?" Liu Xing muttered to himself. In the skill section of "WatanabeRyuusei’s" character card, he indeed found the words "Other Languages: Ancient One Language 60." Rubbing his chin, Liu Xing finally understood. During his soul communication with Sirius last night, in order to overcome the language barrier, Sirius used some advanced technology to teach him the language of the Ancient One. Although aware of the limited time, Liu Xing couldn’t resist looking up at the star chart again. He was very curious about the unknown dangers surrounding Earth in this world of Cthulhu Mythos. In this star chart, drawn by the Ancient One tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions of years ago, Liu Xing found that many planets around Earth were occupied by other mythical creature races. Most of these planets were held by powerful mythical creatures such as the Star Kin, Yis People, and Mi Ge. The Ancient One occupied very few planets, perhaps having been plundered by other mythical creature races. Far from Earth, Liu Xing saw a massive red dot labeled "Mother Star." This seemed to be the birthplace of the Ancient One. Near this "Mother Star," a large area of planets belonged to the Ancient Ones. Seeing this in the star chart, Liu Xing took out his phone and took a photo for future study. Then, Liu Xing moved to the center of Sirius’s room, also the center of the magic array drawn by the Ancient Tribe. Because Liu Xing could now feel it – the items left behind by Sirius were right under his feet. When Liu Xing stood in place, a stone platform suddenly emerged in front of him, making him take a step back in surprise. But Liu Xing quickly realized that this stone platform was probably a unlocking mechanism. Approaching, Liu Xing saw a "keyboard" appear on the stone platform. Without hesitation, Liu Xing entered "Sirius," and the ground beneath him started to descend.
