Apostle of Cthulhu

Alice glanced at the apartment building in front of her and swallowed.

She had never entered any apartment building. Every time she entered, she would be kicked out directly by the security guard or administrator because she was dirty and a dirty guy from the bonfire area.

Administrators and security guards have a habit of resisting children of their own kind, because this kind of people never do good things, are very reckless, and easily damage valuable items in the apartment building. Moreover, they rarely clean their bodies, which is very uncomfortable for residents in the apartment building to see.

Today, she will walk into this apartment to find her "employer".

The passers-by around looked at her standing at the door with various eyes, without exception, with pity or ridicule in their eyes.

She hated this feeling, as if the people in the campfire area were inherently inferior. This chain of class contempt is rooted in the hearts of this group of people, making them mistakenly think that they are superior to others. In fact, everyone has faded away from their glamorous appearance, but they are all the same kind of people on the inside.

Even, their hearts are dirtier.

The most important doctrine of the wake: everyone is guilty, everyone is bad, and everyone needs to atone for his sins!

But Alice doesn’t understand why these people, who are clearly believers in the wake, still wear tinted glasses to see others, why this society cannot even guarantee them the most basic medical insurance, and why the police will always think of crimes when they see them. They couldn't dine in the same restaurants as the people in the Lantern District or the Borough River.

Rats are like synonymous with them, with complete derogation and insult. No one cares about them, no one pays attention to them, and the weight of the class system makes Alice unable to breathe.

She hated this feeling and wanted to stay away from here.

Giving up on herself is not her character.

So, Alice raised her head, holding the hundred-lum note that Siwei gave her in her hand, walked to the door of Balem's apartment, and opened the door with an uneasy mentality.

——

Eugene yawned. Gallagher had just gone out not long ago. He seemed to have gone out more often in recent days. It's really strange. Could it be that because his job as a fortune teller was out of business, he went out to promote himself, or found a club to relax?

The few remaining residents are still the same, and Al orders a whole bottle of good red wine at the bar every day, which is enough to show that her family is well off.

It was also by chance that Al came to Barlem Apartments. At that time, she was suffering from her dual personality and was looking for a solution. She happened to find out about the reputation of Barlem Apartments.

With Eugene's recommendation, Al, who didn't know where to go for a while, stayed here until Si Wei returned.

Nidhogg rarely left his room on his own initiative. At most, he would wander around Siwei's room for a while and then return to the incubator.

Waff has been tinkering with his psychic rituals during this time. Although Eugene did not suggest that he get involved in this aspect, seeing how devoted Waff was, he was too lazy to bother with it.

As for Si Wei...

Just as he was recalling this, someone pushed open the door of Balem's apartment.

Wearing loose clothes that didn't fit her figure, Alice stood timidly at the door and was dirty. Holding a hundred rum bill in her hand, she asked in a low voice and without confidence: "Excuse me...this is Balai Mu apartment..."

If it were Si Wei, he would never put that hundred lems on his chest. If Eugene wasn't the kind-hearted person, he would definitely try his best to defraud the banknotes in her hand when he saw them.

Fortunately, Eugene is not that kind of guy.

Eugene heard the uneasiness and fear in Alice's voice, and smiled kindly. He pressed his upper body on the table, barely making up for the height difference between the two, "Little girl, what's the matter?"

Alice was afraid that Eugene would suddenly change his attitude and kick her out. She has experienced this kind of thing too much, and she has also heard from those in the bonfire area that some apartment owners will kidnap residents and then buy their body organs to criminals to use as materials for spiritual rituals. .

If the guy in front of me is like this, what should I do?

"That... that..." There was a hint of crying in Alice's voice, which made Eugene a little embarrassed, "I'm here to see... Mr. Si Wei..."

Looking for Si Wei?

Eugene suddenly remembered something and replied: "Oh! You are the Alice Medel that Professor Siwei mentioned, right?"

He knows Si Wei! Then I must have found the right place!

Alice nodded quickly, "Yes! Yes! Is he here?"

"I'm sorry," Eugene honestly explained Si Wei's whereabouts, "Professor Si Wei has an appointment today and he won't be back until tomorrow. What can I do for you?"

not here……

Alice was a little disappointed, but thinking about what happened last night, she cheered up again and said to Eugene: "I was attacked last night. Please tell Si Wei that I have something very important." Talk to him."

Got attacked? Is there anything important you want to tell Si Wei?

Eugene nodded silently and replied: "Okay, I understand. When Professor Si Wei comes back, I will definitely tell him. Please pay attention to your safety in the past few days."

After explaining these words to Eugene, Alice breathed a sigh of relief, bowed over ninety degrees to Eugene, and prepared to run out in a panic.

"Wait a minute, little girl." Eugene suddenly called Alice.

The latter's body trembled, and half of the footsteps that had been taken out were taken back directly.

She turned her body stiffly, thinking whether she had angered the other party or accidentally damaged something, and said: "Yes, what's the matter?"

Eugene looked at Alice's eyes, and after a while, he asked tentatively: "Little girl, do you want to live in Balem Apartment?"

Live... live in Balem Apartment? Such a luxurious apartment?

Alice was stunned, and subconsciously used the worst thoughts to guess Eugene's purpose, "Sorry, I really don't have money to pay the rent!"

"No, no, no, I don't charge rent, I just want you to live in." Eugene made a gesture of pressing his hands down, indicating her to calm down.

Alice must not dare to believe that pie in the sky, but at this moment, something suddenly wrapped herself up.

"Wooah!" A slightly childish cry came from behind Alice, and a pair of white arms held her from behind, and softness and warmth came from behind, "What a lovely girl!"

Eugene was so shocked that his jaw dropped, "Ms. El! You didn't drink!"

At this moment, it was El who suddenly attacked Alice from behind. The latter had a beautiful smile on his face, and his already beautiful face added a bit of attraction, "I want to come out for some fresh air!"

Alice was frightened and unable to move at first, but there was no hostility from behind her, which also made her calm down.

Turning her head, she saw the delicate face that made her feel a little inferior.

When she saw Jiaya yesterday, although she didn't say it, she still felt that rich people like Siwei would have such beauties around them.

Unexpectedly, she actually saw another beauty who was as beautiful as Jiaya in Balem Apartment today, which greatly hit her self-confidence.

El hugged Alice tightly, seemingly not caring about the odor and the dirty dust and dirt on her body that had not been washed off, with a smile on his face, "Little girl, what's your name!"

"Ah... Alice Madeleine." Alice didn't know why she answered El's question honestly.

El rubbed the side of Alice's cheek with burn marks with satisfaction, "You are so cute, and your name is also very nice. Do you want to live with your sister? You don't have to pay rent. The manager here is very good~!"

Eugene's face turned red and scratched the back of his head, "Hehe, it's not that good."

Live... live here?

Live in a place that has no prejudice against you?

Live in a place that doesn't despise you?

Even if you are not clean?

Am I dreaming?

If so, I hope I won't wake up from this dream!

Eugene smiled and still looked into Alice's eyes.

"This is enough."
