Apostle of Cthulhu

"Are you ready?" Gallagher came out holding a transparent crystal ball as big as his head, with a soft red cushion underneath to ensure it would not break.

Si Wei was called back by Gallagher's words, put away the notebook, and made enough space, "I'm ready."

Placing the crystal ball in the middle of the table, Gallagher took out some small gadgets and placed them around the crystal ball.

Such as leaves of strange plants, dead insects that have become specimens, and even a pile of animal feces without any odor...

Gallah saw that Si Wei was calm and did not show any surprise or disgust because of these strange things, and couldn't help asking: "Oh? Do you see these things often?"

"No..." Si Wei replied, "Maybe it's because I am born indifferent to these things. Even if you pile them all in front of me, I don't feel anything."

"Well... It's really strange, but people like you are very suitable for things related to mysticism! No wonder you can become a distinguished professor of a university at such a young age."

Si Wei did not respond to this speech, but just asked, "Is there anything I need to do?"

After making preparations, Gallaher also sat on the side of Si Wei. At this time, he glanced at Si Wei's position and pointed to Si Wei's right, "You sit a little over here."

Si Wei did as he was told.

After being fully prepared, Gallagher took a deep breath and said to Si Wei: "Put your right hand on the crystal ball first. No matter what happens, what you hear, or what you see, you don't need to pay attention to it. You just need to quietly start asking the questions you want to know in your heart, and the crystal ball will respond.

"During the divination process, many unknown situations may occur, but no matter what happens, don't move your hand away from the crystal ball unless you hear a sentence.

"As a servant serving you, I beg you again to let go of this poor man's last thought and let him return to reality."

This sentence sounded very meaningful to Si Wei, but in order to show respect, Si Wei did not raise any doubts, but just followed what he said and put his right hand on the surface of the crystal ball.

"Now, look at the crystal ball and silently ask the questions you want to be answered."

Si Wei's eyes were on the inside of the crystal ball, and he thought to himself: "The location of One-armed Stone."

At the same time, Gallagher began to murmur slowly. Because his voice was very soft, Si Wei could not hear what he was saying clearly, and even could not clearly capture every syllable.

In just a few seconds, Si Wei began to feel that the air around him became heavier.

Something was pressing on him, and Si Wei began to feel that breathing became difficult. Some incomprehensible murmurs echoed in his ears, like men and women, old and young... Thousands of voices intertwined and mixed, and the magic sound filled his brain.

The air flow around him changed, and there was wind blowing on Si Wei's face.

But the divination room was obviously a closed environment, and there was no fan. How could there be wind blowing on his face?

Si Wei did not rashly move his eyes away, but strictly followed Gallagher's words, staring at the gradually hazy and blurred inside of the crystal ball.

At this moment, a pleasant female voice echoed in Si Wei's ears.

"Don't be confused..."

When Si Wei heard this voice, his body trembled, not because of fear or panic, but because he had heard this voice before!

In Akra, on the Haleiya that led them back in time! The vague woman who appeared in the fog... this voice belonged to her!

Even so, Si Wei still did not move his eyes away.

No matter how the desire for knowledge tortured him, Si Wei maintained the most basic calmness. All that echoed in his ears were whispers that were enough to make people scared and crazy, but Si Wei was still not affected.

"Someone is guiding you, don't be confused..."

Or this sentence, who is guiding himself? Is it the bishop on Oxins Street? Or this mysterious woman who appeared on the Haleiya? Or the old parliament? There are too many objects that this sentence can refer to, and even Si Wei can't make a judgment at the first moment.

At this moment, there are finally some patterns in the crystal ball.

Golden light suddenly appeared inside the crystal ball, and was stripped out and dotted in every corner, creating a blurred but moving picture.

There was a magnificent building in the picture. Si Wei had the honor to see it on the train when he came here. It was the core of Fuling City: the imperial palace of Fuling City!

What does this mean? Could it be that the wanted one-armed Stone was hiding in the imperial city? Or was the one-armed Stone already arrested? The bounty order from the outside world just had not been torn off in time?

Just as Si Wei was thinking, a scream pierced his eardrum and echoed in every corner of the space!

A slightly blurry hand stretched out in front of him.

It was a right hand with smooth skin, like a young man's hand.

However, on the back of the hand, there was a pattern of the Pantheon!

It was another familiar voice to Si Wei, "If I tell you in advance that the truth you are pursuing makes you disappointed, will you choose to give up the truth you have always wanted to pursue?"

This voice was old but steady, and the object came from the guy who stretched out his hand to him.

Si Wei remembered this voice, and the owner of the voice told him that his name was Bishop.

How is this going? Is everything around me now an illusion? Or is it the revelation that will be brought to you during divination? Why did I hear the voice of that woman and the bishop? What's going on here? !

"As your servant, I beg again to spare this poor man's last thoughts and allow him to return to reality."

Gallagher's reminder reached Si Wei's ears, and he hesitated a little. If this was really the revelation given to him by someone, maybe he shouldn't give up this opportunity.

But Gallagher has already announced the end of divination. If he continues to maintain this state, will there be any backlash?

After quickly weighing the pros and cons, Si Wei chose to let go of his arm and set his sights on Gallagher, who was sitting opposite him with a serious face.

"What's wrong?" Si Wei saw that he looked wrong and asked, "Is the divination result not good?"

Gallagher shook his head, "No, the results of divination do not have pictures, only words.

"Because we don't have enough information and clues, it would be great to have a text clue, but this text clue should have nothing to do with the person you are looking for..."

Si Wei realized something was wrong. He clearly saw the palace of the empire in the crystal ball. Could it be that it was just an illusion?

Gallagher said: "The text prompt only has two words...

"spider."
