Apostle of Cthulhu

"Professor Si Wei? Are you waiting for me?" After walking out of Nidhogg's room, Eugene saw Si Wei leaning against the wall in a daze, as if waiting for him.

Si Wei nodded, "Yes, I have some questions that I would like to consult. I feel that I can't figure this out on my own, and I still need someone to help me sort out my thoughts."

"It's an honor to be trusted so much," Eugene said, "Then what kind of problem is it that stumps Professor Si Wei?"

After a few words, Si Wei asked: "Do you think that on the surface, Nidhogg and I have a pretty good relationship?"

Eugene was confused by this question, "Why do you ask that? I think you and Mr. Nidhogg have the best relationship in the apartment!"

The best feeling...

Si Wei didn't think that Nidhogg would give him certain preferential treatment just because he replaced Professor Si Wei and had the same skin. However, this is difficult to confirm. After all, when Nidhogg can think about words like a human being, its thoughts are as unpredictable as the human heart.

"Don't tell me, I really envy your relationship with Mr. Nidhogg. You have received guns and some whalebone bullets recently, right? Those were specially made for you by Mr. Nidhogg at the request of Mr. Alexander! "

It turned out to be them...

Guns and whale bone bullets did help Si Wei a lot. If the facts are really like what Eugene said, then Si Wei should indeed express his gratitude to one person and one snake.

"If possible, you can get to know the new residents. During the time you left Balem Apartment, a new resident moved in. It's just that his personality is difficult to deal with, but I personally think She should get along well with you."

The new residents...should get along well with me?

Si Wei was stunned for a moment, "Well... Okay, if I have time, I will definitely go and meet the new resident."

Eugene winked at him, not sure what the meaning was, but he walked down the stairs carrying a plate that was probably from yesterday.

Back in his room, Si Wei was just about to take a nap to relax his tense spirit, when he heard someone knocking on his door again.

He was not angry, but patiently returned to the door and asked loudly: "Who is it?"

"Me." The answer was brief, and with the familiar voice, Si Wei immediately confirmed the identity of the visitor.

When he opened the door, he still saw the expressionless face. Jia stood outside the door, holding a vermilion notepad in her hand.

"What's the matter? I remember you should have gone back to rest."

Jiya handed the notepad to Si Wei, "This is the information you asked Professor Miyiha to find before. I remembered it today, so I went to Professor Miyiha and got this notebook to give to you. "

Is this a request entrusted by the original owner before?

Si Wei took the notepad. The cover was a little rough, and cracks could be seen vaguely. It had probably been left there for a long time, and it had been rummaged out from somewhere for some unknown reason.

Opening the first page, there is a line of text on the title page.

[Gift to everyone who knows the truth of the world]

"This is..." Si Wei captured something vague from this line of text, but it did not take shape in Si Wei's mind.

Ji Ya expected that Si Wei would definitely ask this question, so she asked Professor Miyiha early in the morning why Si Wei wanted this information. A notepad of Professor Brandt. The language on it is a text that does not exist in our world. Even the best linguists in the empire today cannot decipher it.

"Logically speaking, this notebook should be placed in the museum, but as soon as I heard that you wanted to borrow this notebook, the other party readily agreed."

Does the original owner have such a great reputation... Why don't I feel that way?

Jia looked at Si Wei's confused eyes and explained with a sigh: "It's not because of your reputation or reputation. I'm personally curious as to why someone would approve such an outrageous proposal, but now it's up to you. In your hands, that’s what matters.”

Turning over the first page, Si Wei frowned. The original appearance of the words was indeed something he couldn't understand. But after he stared at it for a few seconds, the words twisted strangely and turned into his own. Identify square letters without any difficulty!

Wait...can you understand it?

Si Wei was startled for a moment and quickly turned to the second page.

The words on the second page were also words that did not belong to this world. Unfortunately, no matter how Si Wei stared at them, they would not produce any change.

You...can only understand the first page?

Seeing Si Wei's strange expression, Jia Ya asked aloud: "What? Can you understand it now?"

Hearing this, Si Wei pretended to be calm, slowly closed the page of the book, and shook his head, "No, but these strange words have aroused my strong interest. Maybe I can find an opportunity to study it. In addition... I I have some questions I want to ask, and I wonder if you can help me answer them.”

"I am your assistant, and of course I am obliged to follow your opinions." Jia said this, but in fact, the basic meaning is "you speak, I listen."

Si Wei asked: "Do you know...who is One-Armed Stone?"

Si Wei didn't have high expectations at first, but Jia's answer surprised him, "I know, is there any problem?"

"Oh? Do you know where he is now?"

When asked about this, Jia Ya began to shake her head, "I don't know. After all, this person is wanted by the empire, and the reward is still posted on the bulletin boards in the streets."

Wanted criminal... then it is indeed difficult to find him.

Since the identity of the other party has been confirmed, Si Wei did not embarrass Jia Ya and asked, "There is another question. Do you know... what is the Fool's Bone Fragment?"

Jia Ya was silent, or rather, she was stunned.

"Foolish... Fool's Bone Fragment?" She repeated Si Wei's words, as if to emphasize, "Are you sure you are asking about the Fool's Bone Fragment? And not something else?"

"I don't think I have anything else to ask."

Jia Ya's expression was strange, as if Si Wei had asked some very strange questions, and this question should not have come from Si Wei's mouth.

In fact, Si Wei really shouldn't have asked this question.

Jia's eyes wandered for a moment, and finally she chose to explain, "The Fool's Bone is a very magical thing. Some people say it is a puzzle, some people say it is an 'unknown' bone, but the only thing that remains unchanged is that the Fool's Bone is a spiritual ritual."

In order to prevent Si Wei from misunderstanding anything, Jia added, "This is Professor Brandt's conclusion."

"No one knows what the Fool's Bone is used for, or even the meaning of its existence in this world. But in the eyes of the Pantheist believers, it is a priceless treasure."

It sounds like some kind of cult item.

After learning this conclusion, Si Wei asked again: "Then are there any known Fool's Bone fragments now?"

Another point that has always troubled Si Wei is that when Nidhogg described the "Fool's Bone Fragment", he used "the second piece".

Since there is a second piece, there must be a first piece. If Si Wei can know what the first Fool's Bone Fragment looks like, the second Fool's Bone Fragment will be easier to find.

Unexpectedly, Jia suddenly pointed to her right arm.

"The Fool's Bone Fragment...isn't it in your right arm?"
