Apostle of Cthulhu

After returning to Balem Apartment, Si Wei first came to room 666. The door has been closed, but there is a key hanging on the door handle and a note sandwiched in the crack of the door.

Si Wei pulled it out, and it read: Spare key left for Si Wei.

Guessing that it was probably the key that Nidhogg asked Eugene to leave for him, Si Wei did not refuse, took the key off, and then opened the door.

As soon as the door opened, Si Wei saw a particularly shocking scene. If a normal person saw what was happening in front of him, he would probably start to doubt his life.

Nidhogg, a snake, was coiled on the sofa, stretching out his snake head and staring at a book intently.

It turns the page with its own snake's tail, which seems reasonable but is extremely irrational.

Si Wei didn't feel suspicious about the unconventional thing in front of him, and just knocked lightly on the door frame.

Nidhogg moved his gaze to Si Wei, "Fortunately, although he didn't knock on the door, he didn't choose to come up and disturb me directly when he saw me reading, which is quite well-educated."

Ignoring its words, Si Wei walked to it and sat down next to it, asking, "What are the Fool's bone fragments?"

"Yo? Listening to your question, combined with the familiar smell on your body... you should have met Clan Joy? How do you feel about her? Have you fallen in love with her?"

"Perhaps I should explain that except for the physical body, the original owner and I are two different people in terms of thoughts and actions."

Nidhogg smiled, just like a seasoned pimp, "Really? That's a pity. I thought you could help the original owner fulfill his long-cherished wish."

Si Wei said: "I don't want to talk to you about so many boring things. Now I just want to get an answer."

"Huh, answer? If everything in this world had an answer, then everything would be much simpler. It is precisely because some things never have an answer that there is a concept of 'unknown'."

Although Nidhogg's words were lofty and philosophical, he summed it up in one sentence, "I don't know."

Si Wei heard the meaning and said, "If you don't know, just tell me."

Shaking his snake head, Nidhogg corrected Si Wei, "I can only say that I don't know the meaning of the existence of the Fool's Bone Piece itself, but there is one thing I know, and that is why the Fool's Bone Piece is in your body." inside the body."

"Oh? The professor told you about this?"

"Yes," Nidhogg didn't hide anything. "Klan should have told you. Your arm should have shrunk to the point of necrosis. It was the Fool's bone fragments that kept your arm intact."

Si Wei nodded.

"Before you snatched the body of the original owner, he was kidnapped once by followers of the Pantheon Cult in Volingdu." Nidhogg immediately revealed a secret that most people don't know, "That time was The residents of the Balem Apartments rescued him, but the followers of the Pantheon seemed to have done some weird experiment with the original owner's body, and they put the Fool's bone fragments in. "

The original Professor Si Wei was once an experimental subject for followers of the Pantheon Religion?

Siwei immediately realized that if the Fool's bone fragments were inextricably linked to his possessing the professor's body, then it was very likely that the Fool's bone fragments were related to the old rulers!

According to this logic, Si Wei might be able to determine the identity and location of the remaining three apostles through the location of the next Fool's bone fragments, thereby taking a certain amount of initiative!

In this case, it was necessary for Siwei to know the location of the second Fool bone fragment from Nidhogg's mouth, so catching the One-Armed Stone and getting his blood was naturally a top priority.

"Would you like tea?" Nidhogg pointed at the warm teapot with his snake tail, "Pour it yourself, I won't do things for others."

With your body, there is no way you can serve tea and water to others...

Si Wei did not refuse, took out a porcelain cup from the tea set, picked up the teapot with both hands, and poured himself a cup of black tea.

"This is Inspector Vincent. If you need anything, you can go to him." In the Cross Church, Kratos showed Bell a photo of Vincent. "You should understand, the rights of the inspector." It’s still relatively big, and he still has some information about the Spider case.”

Within the police station, police titles are divided into six levels, namely: constable, commissioner, deputy inspector, inspector, superintendent and police chief. In Fulingdu, the inspector is considered a relatively high official position and has access to more internal intelligence.

This is the first time for Kratos to guide others. Other members of the team have never enjoyed such treatment.

The Filth Squad, this is the name of their team, and the list has the highest level of confidentiality within the empire.

Although the headquarters of their team is on the street of Volingdu's Lantern District, as the saying goes, the most dangerous place is the safest place!

Ignorant people often come to the Cross Church to confess their crimes to the wakers. Kratos is quite helpless, but he will receive these devout believers seriously every time.

Over time, he himself changed into a priest's costume and played this role.

So much so that he always carried in his hand a string of amulets from the wakeman's teachings, a triangle with a downward cone, beautifully carved with vines and suns.

The members of the Filth Squad would taunt him from time to time. When the squad disbands in the future, Kratos will become a real priest, not a crappy part-time job like now.

To a certain extent, Bell's devotion to the teachings of the Soul Keepers also comes from Kratos, the excellent captain and teacher.

Kratos is a standard Soul Keeper believer, but he is much more normal than the believers of the Pantheist. He will not rush up to preach to a guy who has a different belief from him or an atheist.

"As long as this inspector is easy to get along with, I believe we can get along well."

"I think you are kidding me," Kratos smirked, "Everyone who has worked with you tells you that you are a stubborn guy and it's hard to get along with you. How dare you say that to me?"

"That's just because they are too loose!"

Kratos knocked on his head, "Why don't you think that you are too serious and too stubborn? You should be smooth in dealing with people. If you are so sharp, people around you will be angry sooner or later!"

Bell can't argue with Kratos. He won't respond to what others say.

Of course, Norris is an exception. After all, Bell may just pull out his gun and shoot Norris to death without saying a word.

Like an old father, Kratos sighed and rubbed Bell's hair.

Bell didn't speak either. The two maintained a subtle silence and began to think about something with each other.

It's just that Kratos thinks about the past, while Bell thinks about things that have not yet come.
