Apostle of Cthulhu

After Siwei and Bell said goodbye, they returned to Balem Apartment and found Alice in Al's room.

"Al, I want to talk to Alice alone. I hope I won't disturb you."

Fortunately, Al is drunk now, otherwise he would definitely not let Si Wei take her away. "I don't mind. You should ask Alice for her opinion."

Alice looked at Si Wei and stared at him for a short while.

Seeing that she didn't move, Si Wei calculated the time, took out a hundred-lum bill from his pocket, and handed it to Alice, "Here, paid leave."

"Hehe! Thank you for your generosity!" Alice's face flashed with a sly smile unique to children, and she took the one hundred rum bill from Si Wei's hand.

"You know what? If I record this scene, your name will probably appear on the headlines of the newspaper the next day." Al took a sip of red wine. Due to her physical condition, she also has a good drinking capacity. "'Young professors stretch out their evil claws, young girls are persecuted'."

Siwei was too lazy to pay attention to Al's complaints and took Alice out of her room to room 666.

Nidhogg closed the book. In the apartment, reading was Nidhogg's only pastime. You can't possibly let Si Wei take this guy out for a walk, right? Such a big creature is eyeing the people around it, and maybe the police station will come to investigate!

"What are you doing again?" Nidhogg asked first, and then he saw Alice behind Si Wei and suddenly realized, "You are finally ready to officially deal with the spider matter..."

Si Wei said: "No, actually I have been doing work in this area, but you don't know it. In addition, she is the mystic I found. Jack told me that I needed the help of mystics and astrologers, and she How should I help?"

Seeing Si Wei and Alice sitting next to him, Nidhogg put the book on the table, "This child doesn't know how to use her own abilities. Now you let her use the power of the mystic rashly. To force her to lose control and fall."

"I know, that's why I brought her to you." Si Wei said plausibly, "You are the person who has the deepest understanding of the power of gifts that I have ever seen. I think with your guidance, Alice will be able to grow rapidly. , help me catch the spider."

Nidhogg shook his head slightly, turned to look at Alice on the other side, "Don't move, I'll observe you."

Alice nodded obediently.

His eyes wandered over Alice's body, but the latter did not feel any discomfort. Nidhogg's gaze on her was gentle, not aggressive or hostile.

In less than two seconds, Nidhogg's tone suddenly turned serious, "Alice, have you ever signed a contract with anyone before?"

"Contract? What is that?" Alice didn't have any understanding of this aspect.

Nidhogg explained: "This contract on your body is mandatory and will lead to certain results after reaching certain conditions. Is there anyone you know who has dropped his blood on you in front of you? ?”

Alice shook her head blankly, but suddenly remembered the conversation between Joe and the followers of the Pantheon on the night she was attacked, "By the way! The person who attacked me before said that he wanted to fulfill the obligations between me and Spider's contract is why he came to kill me!"

Fulfill the contract? Si Wei realized that the relationship between Alice and the spider was definitely not as simple as he thought. To be able to sign a contract with a high-ranking missionary like the spider... Could it be that the spider was actually hiding in Alice's body now?

But this cannot explain why the Pantheon wants to kill Alice. In this case, wouldn’t the spider have no way out?

Or is there a conflict between Spider and the Pantheon Cult, causing the Pantheon Cult to want to kill people and silence them?

All kinds of confusion permeated Si Wei's heart again. Nidhogg saw that Si Wei was troubled by some problems and said, "Don't be fooled by superficial things."

Si Wei raised his head, "Based on what you said, does it mean you already know something?"

Nidhogg denied this, "No, but I can't let questions of this level interfere with your judgment. Indeed, the spider may have some kind of contract with Alice, but the other party also said that this is And 'the spider fulfills the commission', that is to say, it is the pursuit of the spider on its subjective will. "

"What if it's misleading?" Si Wei interrupted the exchange between himself and Nidhogg at a critical point, "No matter what, we will definitely have our own opinions. Don't disturb others until everything is concluded. Logic."

Alice looked at the man and the snake in confusion. The exchange between them was beyond the scope of her thinking for the time being.

"Uh...so, what exactly do you need me to do?"

With a sigh, Nidhogg said with a little helplessness in his tone, "I will give you a day and a half. You must master the most basic things and learn how to use the power of your gift."

Obviously, everyone in the Balem Apartment had told her that Alice was a missionary. However, since she was not required to do anything for the time being, Nidhogg never guided her on how to use the power of the gift.

For a child with a pure heart, using the power of the gift is equivalent to polluting his own heart. This is really cruel for a child who has not yet developed his own complete outlook on life.

But they can't find a suitable candidate for the mystic now. If Alice doesn't learn to use her power, she will only fall into danger. So in this dilemma, Nidhogg decisively chose the one with the lowest risk.

Si Wei asked: "Do I need to prepare something for her? I'm not sure what Alice should do."

"Mystics can do a lot of things, such as enhancing the power of other missionaries, creating some items with the power of gifts, making some potions with extraordinary power, and even disrupting spiritual rituals." Nidhogg's snake eyes shrank suddenly, "Now the spider wants to 'resurrect', so Alice can 'stop' his resurrection. Then you can find him through the power of the astrologer, this is your task.

"If the power of the astrologer is interfered by some external force, Alice can also clear that part of the interference. So... you should know that Alice is very important now, right? Don't let her appear in front of people you are not familiar with easily. "

Si Wei nodded, indicating that he understood.

At the same time, Nidhogg used his snake tail to roll up a pen and began to write something on it, "You have to help buy these things. When the mystic uses his gift power, it usually consumes some materials. You should prepare them in advance in case of emergency."

Taking the note, Si Wei, who was not familiar with the materials in this world, just nodded calmly, not realizing the seriousness of the problem, "Okay, I will buy it as soon as possible. "
