Apostle of Cthulhu

Balem Apartments, Room 666.

Nidhogg climbed out of the incubator, looked at Siwei who was sitting on the sofa attentively, and asked, "What are you doing?"

"Verify a conjecture of mine." Si Wei dripped blood on the Balem stone slab and watched the drop of blood climb along the trajectory of the nodes.

Alice is indeed a missionary, and a mystic at the first level.

Although Si Wei did face the Mystic directly, Fury did not show much of the Mystic's power at that time, so Si Wei's understanding of the Mystic was limited to introductions.

"Nidhogg, do you know the abilities corresponding to the nine types of missionaries?"

Nidhogg glanced at Si Wei with his vertical pupils and replied: "Except for your own abilities, I will not reveal other powers to you. Only when you peel off the cocoons bit by bit, will it be useful to you." the best."

Si Wei was not surprised to get this answer, so he changed the question, "Then can you tell me how to use my abilities reasonably in battle? I also want to know how to improve my own sequence nodes."

"Let me answer your second question first." Nidhogg climbed out of the incubator, squirmed to the sofa next to Si Wei, and crawled along his knees to the open space on the other side. He coiled himself up and raised his snake body, "What prompts the missionary to improve his sequence node comes from the missionary's own 'desire for knowledge', his 'degree of peeping' towards the truth, and his 'knowledge' of himself."

"The more powerful the missionary is, the stronger his thirst for knowledge and the clearer his understanding of the truth. He also knows very well what kind of existence he is and will not easily act arrogantly." Nidhogg Slowing down his speaking speed, "At the same time, losing the desire for knowledge, becoming more confused about the concept of truth, and unclear about one's own cognitive positioning will lead to the degradation of missionaries and become degenerates who endanger everyone."

Si Wei listened carefully to Nidhogg's words while recording all the details in his mind. After Nidhogg had finished speaking, he asked, "Has this subject been thoroughly studied before Professor Brandt disappeared?"

Since Kotis had been researching this matter before she disappeared, he only had this doubt after Nidhogg gave such a clear answer.

Nidhogg said: "Let's not talk about how far Curtis Brandt studied this matter before she disappeared. The most important thing is that I know the truth, and that is enough."

Does it mean it knows more?

Just when Siwei was about to ask a question, Nidhogg changed the subject, "How about we talk about the first question? You want to know how to use your gifted power properly in battle. What if You are the first node, I should let you give up."

The reason is also very simple. If it cannot be used in battle at the first node, it means that Si Wei’s gift power should be an auxiliary such as Dream Eater. These gift powers cannot be used at the first node. Help Si Wei fight.

"My gifted power is the Dream Eater, and it is not the first node." Si Wei did not identify himself as the missionary of the second node. The relationship between him and Nidhogg has not yet reached the point of being honest with each other. , easily exposing this information is not necessarily a good thing.

Nidhogg nodded. Siwei would ask this kind of question at this time. It was probably at the second or third node. Otherwise, even if he was a Dream Eater, the fourth node would be a qualitative leap.

"First of all, as long as your sequence nodes are improved, your physical fitness will also be enhanced to a certain extent. Because the power of grace is not only an exercise for the soul, your body also needs to better carry your own soul.

"The use of Dream Eater allows you to disrupt other people's consciousness and sanity during battle. During a surprise attack, you can even directly pull the other person into a dream, and then kill the other person in the dream!

"I don't know the abilities of the Dream Eaters at high-level nodes, but now it's better for you to learn 'how to correctly use your gift power' first, and then study how to use it in battle.

"I can be your teacher of gifted power, but I don't know if you will accept an inhuman animal to teach you."

Si Wei would definitely not hesitate at all, "I do!"

8:57 p.m.

It’s still night in Volingdu.

Alice has ended her surveillance work, the door of the Versailles grocery store has been closed, and even the dog has left here, which basically means that she no longer needs to monitor.

And there are other reasons urging Alice to leave here.

After Si Wei left, Alice always felt that someone's eyes were focused on her, which made her feel very uncomfortable. And as the night got darker, the sight became more real, to the point where she couldn't help but shiver!

Alice's home - or hiding place, is a bit too far away. Although the market is at the border of the Lantern District, it would still take close to an hour if she wanted to walk back to her hiding place!

For this hour, she would keep feeling this gaze that made her breathless... This was too terrifying.

"Miss Midel..."

A low and lingering voice lingered in her ears and could not go away.

Alice was so frightened that her hair stood on end and goosebumps appeared on her skin. Even though the weather was getting cooler, it never gave her goosebumps.

The call was far away and near, loud and soft, making it impossible for Alice to determine the location and distance of the other party. The fear born from the unknown tightly restrained her neck, making it impossible to breathe.

aphrodisiac~

Strange sounds.

Alice stopped her hurried steps, and there was already another person wherever she looked.

He had only one arm and was wearing a black tuxedo. The sleeve of his right hand was empty and he was held up by the cold wind.

He covered his face with the brim of his comical top hat, preventing Alice from seeing his face clearly.

"You...who are you?" Alice's voice trembled, and fear enveloped her. Her legs were trembling as she moved slowly towards the back, ready to run away at any moment!

"You don't need to know who I am, anyway, your memory is gone," the man said, the only lips exposed outside the brim of the hat raised high, exposing his teeth and gums, "I came to take away your only The rest of my life."

Before Alice even had time to scream, the man in the tuxedo had already sprinted towards her, and Alice couldn't capture his body with her dynamic vision!

Ouch——!

A wolf howl that resounded through the sky replaced the nine bells of the Wuming Tower in an instant. A bright black shadow galloped past Alice, biting the man's wrist and dragging him tens of meters away!

Alice hadn't reacted yet, she still closed her eyes tightly, trembling all over, curling up like a poor little animal.

Until, a warm but not too big hand gently touched the top of her head.

Alice opened her eyes and saw the person in front of her. With soft blond hair, beautiful ocean blue eyes, and a young face, paired with a formal suit, he looks like a prince from a fairy tale!

"I wonder who you are?" The ferocious wolf biting the man's arm disappeared, and he was finally able to get up from the ground. His top hat always covered his face like magic, preventing Alice and the people around him from seeing his appearance. "There is no enmity between us. Do you also want to play the role of a hero?" ?”

The young man smiled back, "My name is Joe Rupert, a painter."

"Painter? You are not like an ordinary painter when you drive creatures to attack me...a beast master, right? And judging from your appearance, the sequence node should not be low..."

Qiao ignored his words, "I'm not interested in the affairs of your Pantheon Cult at all, but this little girl is what a friend of mine needs, and I can't just watch you kill her."

The man still smiled, "This is the contract between her and the spider. Now the time has come... I must fulfill the agreement."

spider? Spider again?

As soon as she heard this term with a clear purpose, Alice began to feel her stomach churn again. Why is everyone mentioning this today? What is the relationship between myself and that spider?

"I know, but I don't care." Joe's words gradually became colder. "If you are still stubborn, don't blame me for my ungentlemanly behavior."

The man showed great patience, "Really? Are you preparing to become an enemy of the entire Pantheon Religion?"

"No," Qiao narrowed his eyes, raised the corners of his mouth, and suddenly smiled, "It's just you."

He placed his right hand in front of his abdomen and his left hand behind his waist. He put his right foot back slightly, and then... bowed.

The next moment, countless ferocious wolves came out from behind him, opened their terrifying bloody mouths, bit into the intimidated man, and dragged him into the darkness of the shadow of the building!

Another soul is about to die.
