Apostle of Cthulhu

As soon as Siwei rushed back to the door of Balem's apartment, he saw Al standing at the door wearing a long black dress, holding a small handbag in his hand, and a black piece of paper similar to a letter was exposed inside. A corner.

As soon as he saw Al, Si Wei instantly remembered that he had almost forgotten about Al. Aier told herself yesterday that she would meet with her father today and hoped that Si Wei could accompany her, and he agreed to it at that time.

If he hadn't happened to bump into Al, the chaotic information during this period would have been enough to make him forget this inconsequential but important promise.

"You are here," Al spotted Si Wei among the crowd at a glance, stepped forward, took out the black invitation letter from his handbag, and handed it to Si Wei, "This is the invitation letter. , 9 o'clock tonight, Pierre's Restaurant in Boluo River, I hope you can make it on time. "

Si Wei took the invitation and took a look at the exquisite lace decoration. It was actually made of pure gold. With the alchemy technology of this era, he could probably spend a lot of money on it.

But of course he wouldn't be so obsessed with it. He just raised his head and put the invitation away close to his body. "Okay, I will go to the appointment then."

Al hesitated for a moment, then added what he was thinking, "If you really don't want to come... it's okay. I will explain many things clearly to my father today. Even if you are not present... I will Work hard to do it.”

Are you worried about my stage fright?

Si Wei made a suitable smile and deliberately calmed Al's uneasiness with a gentle voice, "Don't worry, Miss Al. That's your father, not a demon that devours people. I won't have stage fright. It’s just that I’ve been a little busy lately, so you can see that I’m always in a hurry, but that doesn’t mean I’m in a mess.”

Hearing this, Al just raised his eyes slightly, without making too much eye contact with Si Wei, and left a word, turned around and left, "Okay, I'm looking forward to your arrival tonight."

After watching Al leave, Si Wei stepped into Balem Apartment. Eugene sat in front of the bar and witnessed everything that happened at the door. He asked with a smile: "I failed to help her on the physical level, so I finally chose to deal with it on the spiritual level?"

"Although what you said is right, the statement is a little strange." Si Wei replied, "For Al now, the most serious thing is her heart disease. The heart disease is incomprehensible and the serious illness is difficult to cure. Maybe it has something to do with her. The key to disintegrating her dual soul is for her father to calm down and have a good conversation."

Listening to Si Wei's words, Eugene nodded and suddenly asked a question that Si Wei had never thought about, "Which soul of Al do you think is the real her?"

"Which soul...is the real her?"

Siwei had never thought about this problem, because whether it was Al or Eugene, what they said seemed to indicate that Al with a "mature personality" was the real Al, and that "innocent personality" was the gifted one Created by force.

But what if the "innocent personality" existed in the beginning? What about the so-called "mature personality" that is created at birth to protect the "innocent personality"?

In this case, if there is really a situation of choosing between dual souls, should the "mature personality" stay, the "innocent personality" stay, or the two merge into one and become an individual?

This choice was difficult. Even Si Wei couldn't come to an appropriate conclusion for a while.

"Did I say this too early?" Eugene scratched his head and smiled awkwardly, "Forget it, this matter hasn't been settled yet, so let's not consider this situation for now."

No, you are right. You will have to face this kind of thing sooner or later. Why not think of a way to deal with it as soon as possible?

Si Wei secretly thought in his heart that everyone would have a different opinion on this matter, and it might be the best choice to give his own answer before making the final decision.

But it's a pity that no matter which personality stays in the end, it won't have much impact on Si Wei, so he doesn't care about it.

"By the way," Eugene asked, "I see you are in such a hurry. Did something happen again?"

Si Wei shook his head, indicating that nothing serious happened, and said to Eugene by the way: "Eugene, if you see Alice later, can you ask her to help me get a skull from my old hiding place?"

Eugene said no problem.

Afterwards, Si Wei came to room 203 and knocked on the door.

"Here, who is it?" Waff's voice came quickly from behind the door. The door opened, and Waff, who was still greasy-headed, smiled, showing his white teeth, and asked, "What's the matter? Or do you want to come and help me test my new invention?"

Where do you come from with so many new inventions in your mind...

Si Wei didn't mention this matter to him. If he asked about this kind of thing, Waf's chat box would probably be opened and he would never be able to stop. "Do you still have the notebook you had before? I want to see what's inside." content."

"Look at the content? Well... that's no problem, but did something happen? I see you are in a hurry." Waff turned around, ready to help him get the notepad.

Si Wei followed him and answered his question casually, "No, I'm just curious about some of the contents in your notebook. You know, R'lye culture and psychic rituals also need to be studied."

"I see, it's a reference, isn't it?" Wa Fu said something that was out of reach, while he excitedly dug out the red notepad from a pile of debris and handed it to Si Wei, "Here ! You must take advantage of it!”

Si Wei took the notepad, and sure enough, Yaweng's name was written on the side.

After confirming the authenticity of the notepad, he couldn't wait to turn to the first page.

The whole notebook only recorded one psychic ritual. Si Wei didn't know much about these things. Just by looking at it, he could tell how huge the entire psychic ritual system was. Therefore, he chose to go to an "expert".

This "expert" is Nidhogg.

"Look, what is the driving effect of this psychic ritual?" Si Wei handed the notepad to Nidhogg, who wrapped the entire book with a snake's tail and placed it in front of him.

Nidhogg silently turned the pages of the book, and Siwei could hear its dull murmur echoing in the room every time he turned a page.

"This thing is very dangerous," Nidhogg finally responded after turning the last page of the book containing the text. "Theoretically speaking, under this psychic ritual, everyone affected People will become wandering ghosts.”

Si Wei raised his eyebrows, "Become a ghost?"

Nidhogg nodded, "Didn't you ask me before? Whether the power of the gift only affects the soul, you didn't need to know this at the time, but now... the time is ripe.

"Creatures are divided into two parts, body and soul. The process of climbing to the top of Balem's Web is the process of gradually abandoning the body and purifying the soul. Ordinary people who do not have the power of gift have the same body and soul. Close. Once such a person is forcibly stripped of his soul, he will die quickly and become an unconscious soul."

Si Wei realized the role of this psychic ritual, "In other words... this psychic ritual is to forcibly strip out the souls of ordinary people? And it is also quite large-scale?"

Nidhogg gave the exact number, "Number of people involved, one thousand nine hundred and twenty-seven."
