Apostle of Cthulhu
Chapter 144: Deal at the Party
Wai Mao Lane, a slightly remote and simple house. The roof is broken bricks and tiles. If it rains, there will definitely be a hidden danger of leakage.
Wa Fu still held Si Wei's hand and whispered: "Are you sure you are on the right path now?"
If, as Si Wei thought, this ghost is a screening level for missionaries and ordinary people, then he and Wa Fu should have passed. Knowing that he has an invitation letter, the other party should not do something unkind to him.
So when the ghost stopped next to this building, Si Wei took out the invitation letter and showed it to the ghost.
"Please come in, both of you." The ghost said so, and gently pushed open the wooden door in front of him.
Wa Fu opened his eyes wide, watching the mottled wooden door in front of him being pushed open by an unknown force, and couldn't help but sighed: "Is this the power of missionaries?"
Si Wei led Wa Fu into it, and a scent of sandalwood came to his nose. In Si Wei's memory, the smell of sandalwood in his original world was so pungent, but he didn't expect it to be the same in another world.
However, when he smelled the smell of sandalwood, Si Wei's mood was inexplicably calmed down, and his nerves, which were originally tense due to suspicion, also relaxed unconsciously.
Before entering the door, there were two iron masks on the shoe cabinet in the entrance hall. There was no special shape or style, just a simple facial wrap, cold and heavy.
"Put it on." Si Wei put one on himself and handed the other to Waff.
He knew that in such a missionary gathering, there must be someone who didn't want to reveal his true identity. Similarly, he didn't want others to know that he had been here, except for Waff who accompanied him and Nancy who induced him to come here.
The sound of burning firewood crackled, and as soon as he entered the room, a wave of heat hit him, and the flames in the fireplace emitted orange flames, illuminating the entire room.
There was no coffee table, only four identical long sofas, forming a square. There were about eight people sitting here, wearing silver-reflective silver iron masks, watching Siwei and Wafu who had just walked in.
At this time, Wafu had already let go of Siwei. If he wanted to pretend to be more like a missionary, hiding behind Siwei all the time would not be like a normal missionary.
"You two, you are the last invitees." A man who was dressed gorgeously and looked like the organizer of the party spoke, and stretched out his hand to signal the two to sit down, "I have been waiting for you for a long time."
Not knowing the rules, Siwei did not speak easily, and sat on the sofa on the side with Wafu.
"This is our first gathering, but I don't want any barriers between us. At this gathering, everyone is equal. We will discuss the 'truth' here, exchange information, and trade items, but I don't want anyone to leak the existence of this place. Can you do this?"
Everyone answered in unison: "Yes."
The man nodded, "That would be the best... Then, without further ado, let's officially start our gathering."
"I want to know something and can give an equivalent reward." A woman in revealing nun clothes said, "There should be a wandering missionary in the Lantern District of Fulingdu now, and he is targeting women in the Lantern District. I need to know information about that person."
Si Wei glanced at the woman through the mask. Isn't this the case that he and Bell are tracking together? Could it be that this woman and Bell are from the same organization?
"Miss," another masked man said, "I wonder what kind of reward you can give?"
The woman in nun clothes answered decisively: "You just need to speak, and then I will think about whether it is equivalent, that's enough."
It means that there is actually nothing missing, right?
Si Wei could tell from her arrogant tone that this guy's identity would not be too simple, at least the materials behind him were sufficient.
In this case... could he get some benefits from this woman?
He still had some information that he had not shared with Bell, and sooner or later someone would share it with him. If this woman and Bell really belonged to the same agency, then he might be able to get some benefits first!
When Bell tried to test Si Wei's ability in the factory before, he basically had no good feelings for Bell, and naturally there was no psychological burden in doing such an unethical thing, "I have some information, but I don't know if it can meet your needs."
The answer of the woman in nun uniform was still arrogant, "As long as it is relevant information, as long as there is information, I can pick out useful information from it."
Si Wei could not use his existing information to exchange for the urgently needed mermaid brain, even he knew that it was not equivalent at all, "I need a skull of the fallen."
The skull of the fallen is not actually a rare item for some missionaries. In a person's life, there will always be one or two times when they encounter a fallen person, not to mention a missionary. The skulls of fallen people are of certain value, so many missionaries will collect them.
As for why the academy didn't have one... it was because the skulls of fallen people had a bad meaning, so most academies kept their distance from the skulls of fallen people.
Even though the information Si Wei gave at the end was not very useful, the woman in nun uniform thought that the deal was acceptable, so she nodded, "Okay. How do you want to tell me the information?"
This is indeed a problem. If you tell it in person, the surrounding party participants will hear it, which is basically a waste of money. This is obviously not cost-effective.
If it is a private conversation, many problems may arise, so a method is still needed to solve it.
At this time, the organizer took out a few pieces of stationery and placed it on the table. "If you can trust me, you can use these pieces of stationery for these transactions."
Do you think I will believe you?
Si Wei glanced at the organizer. Not to mention who he was, his purpose for holding this banquet was very strange. Is it really for the so-called "exploring the truth"?
But seeing that the woman in the nun's uniform had no objection, Si Wei didn't bother to say anything. Anyway, the loss in this regard belonged to her.
Taking the letter paper, Si Wei wrote something on it with a spiritual pen. Unless the name is specified, the Lingxun pen is really just a pen, and the ink never seems to run out.
After writing down the information he currently had and the delivery address of the fallen skull, Si Wei covered it downwards and then pushed it to the woman in nun uniform sitting opposite him.
The woman took the note and briefly browsed the contents. Her body stiffened, as if she was shocked. "It seems that your message is quite useful."
Si Wei was confused by her words. Did Bell and her not belong to the same agency? Or did Bell not tell this woman the information he now had?
Regarding the delivery address of the fallen skull, Siwei certainly did not take it so lightly that he directly wrote down the location of Balem's apartment. Instead, he sent it to Alice's former hiding place.
And Si Wei might not even get the skull until he gets the mermaid brain.
If the other party wants to investigate his identity and has someone specially monitor him there, he might be exposed, which is a situation Si Wei doesn't want to see.
