Apostle of Cthulhu

At night, Si Wei pulled Gallagher out of the warm bed, asked him to change out of his pajamas, and then came to room 666.

Si Wei's room was not suitable for too many people. Only Nidhogg's room was not afraid of being spoiled, and the space was wider, making it easy to "draw symbols" on the ground.

"It's late at night... I don't want to sleep anymore..." Gallagher rubbed his eyes, feeling sleepy. "Even if I am a missionary, it is still important to get enough sleep."

On the other side, Alice, who was in high spirits, was arranging the materials collected by Siwei according to Nidhogg's instructions, and then using white chalk to draw some hideous and terrifying patterns on the ground.

Si Wei had already moved the coffee table to another place in advance, leaving plenty of space for Alice to create her own creations.

"Don't worry, I haven't slept well these past few days." Si Wei helped throw some gift materials into the boiling water. The originally clear water became turbid, and even the water itself began to become viscous. Continuously, it emits an unpleasant smell.

"Your Majesty the Keeper..." Gallagher pinched his nose and frowned, "Are you cooking shit? Why does it stink so much."

Si Wei explained: "I just added the mermaid brain and wind wolf's spinal fluid. It's not as bad as you said."

"Mermaid brain? Have you really found it? It's incredible." Gallagher replied in a surprised tone, "In inland cities, this is one of the most difficult gift materials to buy. Now the number of mermaids is already high. It’s so rare that you actually bought it in a little more than a day... Are you actually rich? "

"No, it's just good luck..."

Siwei quickly brewed the potion. After adding the Mermaid Brain and Wind Wolf's spinal fluid to the original large pot of tap water, there was only the output of one test tube, just like Siwei's rapidly shrinking wallet.

Nidhogg took a look at the finished product and said in a slightly surprised tone, "Perhaps you are very suitable for mixing the gift potion... I can't believe this was made by someone who made the potion for the first time."

"It's a shame that you gave me such a precious gift material to waste," Si Wei handed the test tube to Nidhogg, "What are you using this for?"

Before answering Siwei's question, Nidhogg asked Gallagher: "What divination method are you going to use?"

Gallagher quickly answered, "Astrological crystal, this is the method I am best at."

"Oh? Did you study it yourself?" Nidhogg asked.

Gallagher nodded without explaining too much in this regard, "This method is to use the brain of another subject to generate a concrete pattern, which means that all the information will be presented in Si Wei's mind. Maybe I am here You can also see some information in the crystal ball, but it is usually clues that the other party already knows. "

Si Wei raised a more critical question, "What if there are some images in my mind and I don't remember them... What should I do?"

"Impossible," Gallagher denied Si Wei's conjecture, "under my divination technique, you will have a clear memory of the pattern in your mind for at least ten minutes, and the memory will gradually dissipate only after ten minutes. So you don’t have to worry about these things at all.”

Seeing that Gallagher was so confident, Si Wei and Nidhogg had no other problems.

At the same time, Alice had finished her creation and said to Nidhogg: "I'm done! Is there anything else I need to do?"

At this time, in Room 666, the entire living room floor was painted with a pattern. You may not be able to tell much from a close angle, but as long as you look at it from a distance, you can see that this is a huge crawling monster with wings and many tentacles growing on its face.

Si Wei rubbed his temples. Isn't this the most widely circulated image of Cthulhu in his original world?

"Gallach and Si Wei stand in the center of the pattern and start preparing for divination. Alice, you are outside, ready to use your gift power to activate this secret ritual. Also... Si Wei, drink that pot of potion ”

Whether he drinks the potion or not is not an important matter to Siwei. He is more concerned about whether the act of directly drawing other people's patterns on the floor will lead to the consequences of Gallagher, Nidhogg and Alice. The three guys were targeted by the old rulers.

Even if he is an apostle of Cthulhu, the three of them are just ordinary missionaries...

Si Wei could only pray silently in his heart that everything was safe, then drank the potion, swallowed the viscous liquid, and sat at the center of the pattern with Gallagher.

Gallagher placed the crystal ball in the middle of the two of them and warned: "It's still those words, and the last warning to let you go is still the same. I believe you still remember it."

Si Wei nodded, placed his palm on the crystal ball, and began to silently recite in his heart the answer he was looking for when he first performed divination.

The whereabouts of the spider.

Gallagher's gibbering voice echoed in Si Wei's ears, and the cold tide enveloped him, but Si Wei's eyes still stayed on the crystal ball, undisturbed by any fluctuations.

At this moment, a child's cry that seemed to come from afar reached Si Wei's ears. Listening carefully, it seemed to be the cry of a girl, mixed with heart-wrenching sadness and despair.

The flames spread across the field, the scorching heat hit Si Wei's face, there were flames burning around, the orange light almost deprived Room 666 of the original light!

The man's screams, the woman's cries, two more voices pierced Si Wei's eardrums, he seemed to hear someone begging for mercy, begging for forgiveness from the gods!

Click.

The sound of a broken wood being crushed by a foot reached Si Wei's ears, and the familiar voice sounded, it turned out to be Spider, "Dear Mr. Gardner Charles, this must be the first time you kneel down and beg for mercy from someone? This feeling should be very bad, right?"

"Please... don't kill my wife and daughter," the man begged for mercy, kneeling on the ground, giving up all his dignity, "They have nothing to do with the Star Foundation, and have nothing to do with our research!"

Star Foundation? Spider once killed a believer of the Star Foundation?

Spider laughed loudly, just as recklessly as he did when facing Si Wei, "It doesn't matter, right... Yes, I can agree to your request, but in exchange... you must tell me where the Chaos Goddess you believe in is now."

The man choked and didn't know how to start. This was the deepest secret in his heart, and also the deepest secret of the Star Foundation!

"You won't tell me, right?" Spider waved his hand, and the sound of blood splashing filled Si Wei's ears. He had already killed a person.

"No!!!" The man screamed desperately, "You bastard!!"

The spider still smiled, "I am a bastard, but if you don't say something, your daughter will be killed by this bastard?"

"Wait...wait!" The man's knees rubbed against the ground and hit the broken wood around him, "I...I promise you! But you are not allowed to touch my daughter!"

The spider's tone was very casual, "Then you say it."

Even though his wife was dead, the man still kept his only rationality for his daughter, "I can't believe you...you must sign a contract with my daughter...otherwise I won't tell you anything!"

The spider sighed silently, and then there was a period of silence. Since the source of these sounds was on the side of Si Wei, he couldn't see them, because he was looking directly at the things in the crystal ball, fearing that he would miss any clues.

"Okay," said the spider, "but if you lied to me, don't worry, even if your daughter is dead, I will hunt her soul."

"Have you modified her memory? As a father, I don't want this memory to remain in her mind."

The spider was impatient with his request, "I have modified it, and she will only remember that her name is Alice Madeleine and she has an irresponsible pair of parents. Are you satisfied?"

Alice Madeleine? Is this the source of Alice's contract? And her father is also a believer of the Star Foundation?

Judging from the spider's actions to hunt Alice, was it her father who deceived the spider at a critical moment that led to this outcome?

Just the divination that has not yet come to a conclusion has allowed Si Wei to obtain so much information, which is simply an unexpected gain!
