Apostle of Cthulhu

Chapter 116 The Right Keywords

"One-armed Stone? I don't know this wanted criminal," Alice looked at Si Wei with a rather strange look, "Your question seems very strange, why do I know a wanted criminal? Although I am indeed a petty thief who steals things, I also have a basic bottom line!"

Si Wei replied: "No, I'm just curious... After all, many people are now wondering if One-armed Stone is a guy in the Bonfire District. I see that you also live in the Bonfire District, so I want to ask."

He must have lied, and even made up a lie temporarily, but he said this when he knew that Alice lived in the Bonfire District and had no idea about the police investigation process.

Jia glanced at him and felt a certain degree of admiration for this guy's behavior of lying without blushing and speaking without hesitation.

With this reasonable excuse, Alice narrowed her eyes, "Hmph, are you also from the police station?"

"Unfortunately, not." Si Wei said, "If I were really, I would have arrested you a few days ago when you stole my things."

Since the direction of the one-armed Stone was wrong, Si Wei could not easily say the concept of the Fool's Bone Fragment, otherwise Jia would also suspect something. In this way, he didn't know what to say to this little girl for a while.

Suddenly, Si Wei remembered something particularly important, "Alice, can you give me a drop of your blood?"

Jia frowned, Si Wei suspected that this little girl was a missionary?

"Blood? Sure," Alice didn't care about getting hurt. Living in the bonfire area, there would always be a little blood disaster in life, and it was not a big deal to ask for a drop of blood.

Si Wei didn't have the habit of carrying test tubes with him. Fortunately, before coming to Balem Apartment, Jia helped a professor of the Department of Chemistry in Nanyoku University to move some things, and coincidentally got a thin and long test tube.

After collecting some of Alice's blood, Si Wei turned his eyes to the Versailles Grocery Store and asked, "How are the results of your recent surveillance?"

"Uh... Does this count as completing the task ahead of schedule?"

Si Wei heard the worry in her words, probably because he was afraid that Si Wei would take back some of the reward if the commission was insufficient.

"Don't worry, I won't take back the 100 lem. If you complete the task well, I will even help you with some things."

In fact, if it was really just a good task, Si Wei would at most give her a little more reward, but once Si Wei confirmed that Alice was a missionary, he would have to "help her do something."

There are not many cases of people like Alice becoming missionaries at her age, and most of them will become degenerates because of the immaturity of their own souls. Those who can survive later become high-level missionaries.

If Alice is indeed a missionary, Si Wei can consider training her and make her a good chess piece in his hands.

Jia, who has similar thinking ability, also vaguely guessed Si Wei's thoughts, but did not say anything.

Alice was relieved after receiving Si Wei's affirmative answer, and replied: "Nothing special, the owner of that store basically never steps out of the store... Of course, if there is a secret door in the store, it is another matter. No one has entered this store in the past few days, and the business can only be described as bleak.

"But there is one very strange thing, every day an animal appears near the door of this store, and stays there for a whole day. The day before yesterday it was a bird, yesterday it was a cat, and today it is a dog. "Alice pointed to the yellow wild dog lying on the street covertly.

There is one animal every day? Is this some kind of surveillance? Or is it Jack's precaution against the outside world? As long as someone tries to enter the store, those animals will tell Jack in the store?

Is Jack the beast tamer among the missionaries?

Si Wei only roughly inferred his ability from the name of the missionary, and cannot directly quote it as a conclusion. But this is indeed very confusing, maybe someone is really monitoring Jack.

Jack cherishes the pendant of the Star Foundation so much, what is the Star Foundation? Could it be that a hostile organization is monitoring him? Is the Star Foundation related to the expedition team?

A lot of questions filled Si Wei's mind again, making it difficult for him to draw a conclusion for a while.

"I understand, you continue to monitor." Si Wei said, but he hesitated and reminded, "If you encounter a similar situation again today, and you know it in advance, you can go to Balem Apartment, report the name of "Professor" to the owner there, and then explain your difficulties. "

Siwei will definitely explain the situation to Eugene later.

Alice must have heard that Siwei was doing this for her own good, and she felt a little grateful. If Siwei hadn't come to this place by accident today, she might have been robbed, or she might have had a more tragic ending.

Siwei was just about to turn around and leave here with Jia, who didn't say a word, when he suddenly remembered a crucial thing.

What he saw in his dream was a spider, and the result Galaher got from divination was also a spider. Could it be that he asked the wrong keyword?

"Alice."

"What's the matter?" Alice's tone unconsciously became much more friendly, which was also the mentality of children like them who had not grown up completely.

Siwei frowned, he rarely made such an expression, "Do you have any impression of the word spider...?"

"Spider?" Alice was stunned for a moment, her pupils dilated to a certain extent, and she fell into silence for a long time.

With this one action, Siwei could be sure that she must know something about "spider"!

"No... sorry..." Alice's voice trembled a little, she covered her throat, seemed to be retching, and some bad memories burst out of her mind, "I... I don't know..."

Jia, who had not spoken all the time, suddenly whispered: "There are traces of the power of grace on her body, and her memory should be affected, similar to the hint used by Joe Rupert before."

Someone sealed or eliminated Alice's memory of the keyword "spider"! But why didn't that person kill Alice? Would the other party still care about the life of a little girl in the bonfire area?

So many people die in the bonfire area every year, but no one cares about the safety of a girl. In this case, why is Alice alive?

Is it because Alice is a missionary that she survived? Or is it because she became a missionary that she survived?
