This is also in line with the setting of the Cthulhu mythology. Neither the Old Ones nor the Outer Gods intentionally killed the sailors. It was more that the sailors brought madness to the ship after being exposed to forbidden knowledge.

The way to deal with some monsters in the Cthulhu Mythos is indeed to not listen or see or feel. As long as my intelligence is low enough and I can't read any words or understand any forbidden knowledge, my sanity value will naturally not decrease.

Schiller would like to call this genre the "Aba Aba mentally retarded school".

The chronological order of the whole thing may be:

The fleet of a sailor named Peake unfortunately encountered a disaster related to the Cthulhu Mythos. Peake and his friends escaped from the disaster by accident and recorded their experiences in this diary.

.

Later, the diary was transported to the UK as a cultural relic by Jeff's team. It happened that the fleet encountered a similar disaster. Jeff was jealous of losing money in gambling and wanted to steal the ancient books and files to pay off the debt, so he happened to get this diary.

, and at the critical moment, he speculated on how Peake could survive the disaster, and used this method to successfully survive.

After Jeff returned, because he became the only lucky man to survive the shipwreck, people thought he might be a monster resurrected from the dead or the source of misfortune. No one was willing to hire him again, leaving him impoverished.

The old Siltek, who was investigating the matter, approached Jeff as the owner of his own fleet and offered to help him solve his difficulties and rehire him, thus obtaining the diary from him.

Jeff was not stupid either. In order to have enough chips in his hand, he tore out the key contents of the diary. However, he did not expect that the cunning old Siltke had already guessed the way to survive the disaster from the conversation with him.
