[Top 4 Weird Investigators - Randolph Carter]
[It comes from the childhood that "I" can never return to in my lifetime, and it comes from the ideals and regrets that "I" have never fulfilled in my lifetime. ]
[Trapped in the confusion between reality and dreams, lost and regained in a bleak life, he will eventually cross the door of poverty. ]

Nick Fury said to Coulson in confusion: "Investigator? Coulson, you are also an investigator, right?"
"Chief, is it possible that we are just agents? After all, we only get one salary." Coulson said speechlessly.

Thanos wiped the long sword and murmured with interest: "Am I the man of destiny... Interesting."
Standing up with the knife in hand, Thanos looked at the endless galaxy and said confidently: "I am the man of destiny!"

Stealth, Nyako World
Nayako scratched his head: "The name Randolph Carter always sounds familiar to me."
Yasaka Shinhiro turned to look at Nyako: "Hey, Nyako, do you know Randolph Carter? I didn't expect our world to be on the gold list."
"Hashidou Sack!" Nayako suddenly slapped her head and said through gritted teeth: "I remember! That guy once played a trick on me!"
"Huh!" Yasaka Shinhiro was a little surprised.
"It's a pity that guy has a wide network of contacts and is very smart. I can't find any fun and I can't beat him. Woo woo woo..."

Rhode Island
Young Lovecraft awakens from his sleep.
When Lovecraft saw the man's name on the gold list and the description below, he always felt a little uncomfortable and foreboding.
He could feel that the "I" described by Jin Bang was exactly himself.
Shaking his head, Lovecraft prepared to go out and play. There were many happy things in a wonderful childhood. After having fun, he would look up at the gold list and feel so happy.
Lovecraft could never have imagined that this childhood happiness would be his only happiness.
That miserable life, the frustrated life, the childhood that can never be returned to, and the unfulfilled regrets will all come true in him one by one.

Taboo Advent Courtyard Salem
Abigail Williams, a blonde girl, felt something strange on her forehead.
When Abigail looked up at Randolph Carter's name and the Door of the End, the keyhole on her forehead glowed with a faint silver light, as if responding to something.
And in Valhalla, a man named Randolph Carter opened his eyes.
Childhood is beautiful, and it is interesting to see it and his wonderful adventures again.

Cyberpunk World
Afterlife Bar
The mercenaries gathered here were all discussing the legend, not paying attention to the investigator with the suffix.
After all, in their eyes, the only thing worth paying attention to besides money is legend!
A cyberpunk slammed his wine glass on the table and said in admiration: "It's really crazy to say that I am the man of destiny! But he must have his own ability to make it to the gold list!"
"That's right! The famous Randolph, hahahaha!"
On the rooftop of a building in Night City, Lucy stared at the moon in a daze.
"Reality and dreams? Yes, dreams are really beautiful. There is the moon and you there."

Collapse of the World
Otto seemed to have thought of something and searched in the Void Treasures, but he only found a girl named Edgar Allan Poe and some unknown myth collections from previous civilizations.
"Wow, the Old Gods and the Great Old Ones? Interesting."
But when he saw the introduction, Otto seemed to have thought of something, and his eyes looked a little downcast.
"Since you are the man of destiny, you must have conquered the so-called God, right? Randolph Carter, I am waiting to see your story."

Dimension Gold List Chat Area
Edgar Allan Poe: "Randolph Carter? Sounds familiar."
Lovecraft: "Hmm... It's quite a coincidence. I also feel that Randolph Carter is somewhat inexplicably familiar, as if I have an inseparable connection with him."
Nayako: "Randolph Carter! Secretly got on the gold list? You are so babyish!"
Abigail Williams: "I feel like Randolph Carter might have some connection with God. The Silver Spoon has moved. He must have met the One who made all things one."
Hokusai: "Don't be so serious upstairs. She is the daughter of that person (bushi) after all. However, if Randolph Carter were in our world, he would definitely be considered an out-of-bounds life."
Otto Apokalis: "It's hard to find a childhood and a lifetime of regrets... Yes, childhood is really beautiful. So as someone who has experienced it, I wish you to find your lost childhood and regrets."

Amid the discussion among the audiences of Ten Thousand Worlds, the picture began, but what was reflected in Ten Thousand Worlds was not Randolph Carter, but the infinite universe, three shadows beyond the dimensions of time and space that transcended everything.
Under the protection of the Golden List, madness did not spread, but that kind of unknown fear and some unspeakable meaning spread in the hearts of most of the people watching.

...
Let me ask you a question. In each chapter of my current content, what is the ratio of plot to character comments?
Should we continue with the status quo, or should we have more [ ] plot and fewer character comments?
Or [] keep the plot the same and add character comments?
Some friends seem to have said that I wrote too many character reviews, although I think the amount of information in a plot would be sloppy if there were few characters commented on.
Let's see what you think.
Chapter 471: Outer Gods: Silver Key of the Great Old Ones
[Screen start]
[The dark universe appeared in the eyes of the audience. Different from the other universes in the inventory, this universe was extremely dark, like an endless abyss.]
[Countless civilizations, advanced civilizations, and super civilizations exist in this empty and dark universe. ]
[And in this universe, there is a God~. ]
[It is not magic, nor is it physics, but a kind of existence that transcends shackles and becomes an existence that all spirits know exists to a certain extent, but cannot understand or peek into.]
[They are the embodiment of ineffable rules, and they are also beings that transcend and override the rules of the universe, and their status has an impact on the universe. ]
[These gods are called Outer Gods or Great Old Ones. They are beings whose essence cannot be understood. Other beings want to understand Outer Gods, just like two-dimensional beings trying to study a three-dimensional cube. They have no clue and cannot understand it, and then they go crazy because of their exploration.]
Ye Wenjie: "It's too cold, too dark… This universe is even darker and more dangerous than the universe I live in."
Luo Ji: "I can feel that this is a huge dark forest, but... hunters are not civilizations. All civilizations seem to be lambs to be slaughtered or pawns of the Chessboard Mountain."
Kyubey: "Yeah, this universe is very mysterious. And the fact that it can develop so many advanced and super civilizations is enough to prove that there are not so many wars in this universe."
Black Tower: "God? That makes sense. After all, no one can understand the essence of God. But it does transcend the universe... After all, God is also in the universe."
King of Ultra: "This universe is hard to describe... The existence beyond the universe itself is a kind of chaos."
Justice: "Too evil! No... its existence itself is a threat to intelligent life! How can the will of this great universe be so chaotic!"
Yakumo Yukari: "It's indescribable, hard to explain... Why does it look a bit like the evil god rumored in the outside world?"
Ge Xiaolun: "I already have goosebumps. I always feel like there is something whispering in my ear. This thing is evil!"
Null Reset: "Tower-like structure is not enough to describe this creature. They must be beyond some level of existence."
Tesla: "Two-dimensional study of three-dimensional... that's totally clueless! This Outer God is not something that can be completely incomprehensible!"
Ding Yi: "Why is Randolph Carter the protagonist in this universe? Could it be that he can even chat and laugh with the Outer Gods?"
[In addition to the Outer Gods, several hazy and chaotic shadows also appeared in the picture. ]
[This is the Old One bred by an Outer God. He understands the truth of the universe and is able to escape the great cycle of birth and death of the universe.]
[They come from various old universes, learn to adapt to new rules in the new universe, carry forbidden knowledge and truth, exist in the universe, and have thousands of incarnations.]
[But God is not untouchable. At least most civilizations and super civilizations believe in God. ]
[The scene changes to the universe, where countless low-level civilizations believe in and follow the Old Ones, or believe in their incarnations in each civilization.]
[Because of the knowledge gained from believing in the Old Ones, many civilizations leaped across the civilization level in one fell swoop and became more advanced civilizations.]
Singer: "An existence that jumped out of the destruction of the universe... Isn't this the Zeroer! The existence that started the Great God civilization!"
Luo Feng: "This may be the legendary leap out of the Three Realms and out of the Five Elements."
Gildre: "Wuwuwuwua ...
Liang Bing: "What the hell! What kind of god is so awesome that he can give birth to so many babies at once without fear of the destruction of the universe?"
Yokohime: "I think it can only be the one in the legend, the Black Goat of the Forest! One of the three pillars of the gods, the symbol of life, the mother goddess who nurtures all life."
Ruan Mei: "Is this universe a multiverse? Although it is shocking, is the difference between the Old Ones and the three figures that they will flee and adapt to the new rules because of the destruction of the universe?"
Death God Carl: "Knowledge... the truth of the universe? I see. No... I still can't understand it. But there is no doubt that believing in them can gain knowledge, but it is not necessarily good knowledge..."
Luo Ji (Artistic Painting): "Oh my god! I just want to know if it's true! Then why don't we believe in the Old Ones? Maybe we can directly make a civilization jump and crush the Trisolarans!"
The Trisolarian leader: "Stupid. Whether there are any Old Ones in this universe or not is not clear. Even if there are, I will be shattered and your Earth will be shattered too."
[The existence of the Old Ones and their legends and incarnations in various civilizations have spawned countless myths, and their incarnations have also widely appeared before people in various ways.]
[Some of the civilizations that believed in them may have obtained advanced genetic knowledge, and transcended by ignoring the nature of organisms and the laws of evolution, becoming powerful civilizations.]
[Some have obtained forbidden magical knowledge, and use summoning chants or supernatural methods to achieve results that cannot be achieved even at the end of technology. ]
[At the same time, the incarnations of the Old Ones or Outer Gods are all different. Some are kind and gentle, some are violent and indifferent, and some are moody. ]
[Because it is incomprehensible, no civilization knows what god it believes in, so advanced civilizations do not believe in those who can be called evil gods. ]
[Their moodiness can make a civilization stand at the top, or it can destroy a civilization in an instant. No one knows what the future will be like tomorrow.]
Ge Xiaolun: "I remembered something very scary. Could those gods of our China also be the incarnations of the Old Ones?"
Yang Huanying: "I remember now! Wasn't Gildre's book on Luoyan City's teachings from the previous inventory a book from the Xia Dynasty?"
Shangbai Ze Huiyin: "In the history of my world, the Xia Dynasty also included an ancient book called Xuanjun Qizhang. This strangeness is enough to prove that the Outer Gods are not exclusive to this world."
Heimerdinger: "How bizarre... Is it simply belief and following that grants them the knowledge of genetic ascension? Do the Great Old Ones ask for nothing in return?"
Aozaki Touko: "Yes, there is even the miraculous knowledge of reaching magic. This kind of gift should have a price, right?"
Constantine: "I guess the moment they believed in the Old Ones, their souls were no longer theirs."
Wendy: "This Outer God and the original one really have some similarities... Their incarnations all have their own consciousness and personality."
Holy Kesha: "These advanced civilizations are very wise. The incarnations of the Outer Gods are moody. This chaos and disorder is evil. Those who believe in them will not be able to escape destruction."
Hyōjinji: "If we are lucky enough to bet on a benevolent Outer God incarnation, wouldn't the whole civilization be delighted?!"
[In the universe, the understanding of super civilizations exceeds everyone's expectations. ]
[The universe will eventually end. Except for the Outer Gods and the Old Ones, no one can escape and everything will return to nothingness. ]
[After understanding the essence and truth of the universe being nothingness, super civilizations will choose to believe in and rely on foreign gods to gain more knowledge. ]
[The Outer Gods themselves are incomprehensible and indescribable existences. Ordinary people only need to look at them once to gain knowledge, and then they will be infused with unimaginable knowledge and the truth of the universe.]
[At the least, it will lead to madness, at the worst, it will lead to death. This characteristic of the Outer Gods is the way for super civilizations to seek knowledge.]
[Having become a super civilization, they are no longer constrained by survival and ethics, but choose to explore the truth of the universe, and relying on the outer gods is the best way. ]
Void Star God: "oO"
Dark Star Thresh: "They have a very good understanding of the universe. Everything will return to silence and nothingness, even us..."
Death God Carl: "Seeking life from madness... If it were me, I would make the same choice. After all, the knowledge brought by the Outer Gods from the other universe will surely bring me extra surprises!"
Otto Apokalis: "From the characteristics of the Outer Gods, if you look directly at them without permission, you will be filled with knowledge, just like I was filled with knowledge by the Honkai God."
King of Litang: "Learn a lot of knowledge!"
Nobita Nobi: "Doraemon! I want to look directly at the Outer Gods, too! Help me!"

Mebius: "The people upstairs laughed at me. The knowledge given by the Outer Gods depends on the Outer Gods. He will give you knowledge beyond your time, or he will only give you practical knowledge about bread machines."
[The scene changes to Earth.]
[In 1874, Kingsport, a seaport town in America, appeared in the eyes of audiences from all over the world.]
[Randolph Carter, a traditional white boy, was born here.]
[This is a beautiful town, surrounded by hazy fog, and the dense and steep streets form a harmonious and vibrant scene. ]
[When the night is almost over, the lights in the houses are brightly lit, and the lights of the universe are closely clustered together. ]
[There are many small boats on the sea outside, and the fluorescent light reflected by the lights of thousands of houses makes the sea look warm. ]
[As if the church has not been washed away by time, it stands on the cliff not far from the town. ]
Nick Fury: "Oh my god! I knew it! It's Earth again!"
Kuonji Yuju: "The protagonist has appeared. Is everything shown now what Randolph Carter has always dreamed of..."
Mitsuha Miyamizu: "But... this city is so beautiful! There is no hustle and bustle of modern American cities, only the peaceful and slow pace of the countryside."
Himeya Jun: "Yes, this seemingly ancient town has become lively and warm because of the lights of thousands of houses."
Elini: "That church... This city is similar to Saltwind City."
Skadi: "They do look very similar, but the aura of the people in Kingsport is much higher than that of Saltwind City."
Himeya Jun: "This atmosphere... is really good."
[Life in this seaside town is slow and peaceful, and little Carter, who has a lot of money, grows up happily here without any worries. ]
[The future and life are not what he worries about, only playing and having fun are what he pursues. ]
[Carter had a very happy childhood, playing and laughing with his friends in the town, fishing at the beach, going up the mountain, or chasing.]
