Apostle of Cthulhu

The royal celebration was held in the main hall of the palace. Si Wei had forgotten the magnificent buildings he saw when he arrived here. His mind was now full of what he realized from the divination results of Galaha.

One-armed Stone might be in the imperial city. Maybe he sneaked in, or maybe he was caught!

In the main hall were state dignitaries, important business tycoons, and some nobles who had contributed to the construction of the empire in the early years.

Si Wei, a history professor at a university, seemed too small among them.

He was happy to be alone. He took a glass of red wine from the waiter's silver tray and walked in the main hall, observing everyone.

Before this, he really didn't expect to see two familiar faces.

When Si Wei saw Jia Ya in a dignified evening gown, he was stunned for a moment, then walked up to her and took a look at her new hairstyle - she tied her hair up behind her head, "You look beautiful today."

"Are you referring to the hairstyle?" Jia Ya mercilessly mocked Si Wei's straight male behavior of only paying attention to one point, "Before you praise a lady, you should thoroughly observe her style."

Si Wei was speechless, he really didn't pay so much attention to this aspect.

Shaking his head silently, Jia Ya said to Si Wei: "You received an invitation from the king, you should express your gratitude to the king. The king is in the garden now, you can go and talk to him."

"What about you?" Si Wei asked, "Where did you get your invitation from?"

Jia Ya replied perfunctorily: "It is a very ungentlemanly behavior to inquire about a lady's social circle."

Well, whether this sentence is true or not, I just don't want to tell myself anyway.

In this case, Si Wei will not inquire about anything more, and turned to walk into the garden.

Jia stayed where she was, pinching the earrings she was wearing today, her eyes always on Siwei.

——

"Hey! Isn't this Siwei!" With a familiar shout, Siwei turned around and actually saw Wafu.

"Mr. Alexander," Siwei rarely saw Wafu wearing normal clothes, and it was a valuable evening dress, "Did you also receive an invitation?"

Wafu nodded proudly, "Of course! I used to work as a scientist in the Imperial Agency. Although I am retired now, my previous status is still very important!"

So that's it...

Siwei nodded and asked, "By the way, Mr. Alexander, do you know where the king is? A friend of mine told me that he is in the garden."

Hearing this, Wafu looked at Siwei in confusion and pointed behind him, "Isn't His Majesty the King standing behind you?"

Behind him?

Siwei turned around and really saw a vigorous and handsome middle-aged man standing behind him. He has a slightly high nose bridge, fair complexion, and a height of about 1.9 meters. He is not very strong, but he can bring people an inexplicable pressure.

"Siwei, right?"

At the first moment, Siwei's mind popped up the etiquette that should be followed when meeting the king in film and television works. When he was about to kneel on one knee, he was lifted up by the king with both hands, "Don't kneel, what are you kneeling for?"

Why shouldn't I kneel...

But since the king himself said so, he would not be too hypocritical and stood up directly, "It is a great honor to meet you, Your Majesty."

"There is no need to be so distant. I still have something to talk to you." The king smiled and said to Waff, "Mr. Waff, I should be able to borrow Siwei, right?"

How dare Waff say "no" to His Majesty's request? He nodded quickly, "Of course, this is your right!"

"Then, Siwei, let's talk for a while."

Why did His Majesty the King treat me like this? He didn't let me salute, but he wanted to talk to me alone? Is it my fault or the original owner's fault?

Si Wei, who could not get an answer, could only follow His Majesty the King into the main hall, then turned upstairs at a heavily guarded staircase and walked into a secret room.

——

After rejecting the invitations of several rich second-generations, Jia Ya walked into the garden alone, looking at the shining stars and the bright moon in the sky.

Pinching her earrings again, Jia Ya closed her eyes, as if listening.

After a while, she opened her eyes, slightly parted her cherry lips, and conveyed some information.

"Si Wei has contacted the king, but I think you'd better not reveal your identity for the time being.

"On the surface, the royal celebration will only be guarded by the royal guards, but in fact, how could they let the king be alone in such an unguarded situation? The "availability" of this king has not yet returned to zero.

"I bet that there are at least two people from the filth team on duty here, and the Court of Inquiry cannot sit and wait for death, and there may even be more secretive agencies and senior officials who have sent personnel.

"And, with your current level, you are still a little short of being able to come and go freely in the royal celebration. "

She didn't speak, still listening to someone's words.

The other party finished his opinion, and Jia was amused by his opinion.

She just raised a sarcastic smile at the corner of her mouth, "Since you don't believe it, it's up to you. There are many astrologers in the Court of Inquisition. If you think you can kill people at the royal celebration and get away with it, I don't mind you killing Si Wei directly.

"This means that Si Wei's fate ends here, and you have greater value.

“But if you can’t do it, then during this period of time, you’d better not think about Si Wei!

“Believe me, even if I don’t do anything, you will die at the hands of Si Wei. This is destined.”

——

At the same time, Balem Apartment.

Al, who had drunk, had returned to normal. She dragged Alice, who had washed and changed into beautiful clothes, out of the bathroom, “What do you think?”

Gallagher and Eugene both sighed sincerely, “Sure enough, a good foundation is the foundation of beauty!”

Alice’s pretty face was red, and she almost buried her face in her chest.

Al sighed and lifted her hair behind her ears with her hands, “Although I don’t know why, my other personality seems to like this child very much. Since she is threatened, I think I also need to save the life in front of me. But I don’t understand, when did Balem Apartment become a relief center? "

What she was referring to was naturally the fact that Eugene let Alice live in a room by herself. She couldn't see any difference in Alice.

Eugene spread his hands, "Don't dwell on those things, they will only make you grow wrinkles!"

Gallah's mouth twitched. This sentence was simply too poisonous and extremely lethal.

Hiss hiss hiss--

The sound of Nidhogg spitting out the snake's tongue reached everyone's ears.

At the same time, it was also its voice that spread from upstairs to the lobby of Balem Apartment.

"Tonight, no matter what happens in Siwei's room, as long as Balem Apartment has not collapsed, none of you should intervene. Stay in your room and don't come out!"
