Apostle of Cthulhu

"Siwei? Why did you come back in the rain?" Eugene looked at Siwei, who was soaked all over, and walked silently into the door of Balem Apartment through the rain curtain, and asked with concern, "Didn't you bring an umbrella when you went out?"

Siwei shook his head, "I didn't expect it, and it's not convenient to carry an umbrella with you."

Eugene took out a towel from under his bar and handed it to Siwei, "Wipe the rain on your face and head first, then go upstairs and take a hot bath to avoid getting sick."

Siwei took the towel, wiped his hair and face briefly, and returned the towel to Eugene, stepped on the stairs, leaving dark footprints, and walked all the way to the door of his room.

Opening the door, Siwei saw Jia sitting in his room, looking at him.

"Why are you here?" Siwei asked, "Shouldn't you be in school?"

Jia's answer also made sense, "The final exam is over, I don't think I need to stay in school anymore, so... I came here."

Eugene didn't let Jia live in, and Siwei was still very clear about this. If Eugene wanted Jia to live in Balem Apartment, he would have invited her the first time he saw her, just like Alice.

In Siwei's opinion, Jia should also be a missionary. Even if she is not a missionary, she is also a person who has studied the culture of R'lyeh very deeply. Why didn't Eugene let her live in?

Siwei did not ask Eugene this question, but it does not mean that he does not care.

"Go take a bath first," Jia picked up the black tea on the table. She seemed to have figured out the location of the objects in Siwei's room long ago, and everything was so familiar. "If you fall ill tomorrow, many people will feel at a loss."

Siwei said "hmm", walked into his bedroom, prepared a change of clothes, and then went into the bathroom and took a hot bath.

After washing, Siwei put on a plain shirt and trousers. His hair was still a little wet, and a little heat rose up, ready to go out.

"Where are you going?" Jia asked, "It's so late and it's cold outside. You're wearing so little, it's the same as not taking a shower."

Si Wei didn't even turn his head, "Don't worry, I'll find someone in Balem Apartment and come back soon."

Jia didn't respond, just drank her own black tea while watching Si Wei's back as he left.

Balem Apartment, Room 402.

Si Wei knocked on Gallagher's door, but there was no response from behind the door, but after a few seconds, the door was opened from the inside.

Gallagher had a gloomy face, lowered his head, and looked up, meeting Si Wei's eyes, "You're here."

"From your tone, you seem to have known I was coming a long time ago?"

"I have divined, and the result shows that you will come to see me at this time today." Gallagher made way for an aisle, "Come in first, I think you are still normal now, and we can still communicate normally."

Si Wei passed by him, "I would like to know what the 'abnormal' communication you mentioned is like."

Gallagher gave his answer to his question seriously, "I believe you don't want to know this."

Walking into Gallagher's room, Si Wei found a photo among a pile of mystical objects in the living room.

The photo lay quietly on the coffee table, and it seemed to be a photo of Gallagher and a woman, with a background full of flowers and spring.

Gallagher didn't notice that Si Wei saw the photo, but walked to the sofa, clasped his hands together, rested his elbows on his thighs, leaned forward, and looked very depressed, "Why did you come to me...?"

Si Wei sat down on the single sofa next to him, "Since you did divination, don't you know why I came to you?"

Gallagher didn't answer his question. Although he did divination, he only divined whether Si Wei would come to negotiate with him, but didn't divination the specific content.

If he accidentally revealed something important that Si Wei didn't know, it would be more trouble than gain.

Seeing that Gallagher didn't respond, Si Wei took the initiative to tell him the purpose of looking for Gallagher, "You know Nancy, right?"

Hearing this, Gallagher understood that the reason why Si Wei came to him was indeed for this matter.

Although he saw the exchange between Si Wei and Bell in front of the Balem Apartment last time, he didn't expect that the two had such a good relationship that they could share such clues with each other.

"Knowing...it's hard to say," Gallaher said with a bitter smile, "I was at most used by him."

"What do you mean?"

Gallaher cast his eyes on the photo on the coffee table and said, "Do you know the woman in the photo?"

Si Wei was stunned and shook his head, "I don't know her."

"That's my sister. When we were young, our parents abandoned us, and only my sister and I depended on each other. Fortunately, my sister is very smart. While working and studying, she was admitted to the best university in our city.

"Then...since she joined the CTHULHU expedition team, I lost contact with her..."

"Wait a minute!" Si Wei interrupted Gallaher at this moment, "What did you say just now?"

Swei suddenly interrupted him, and Gallagher was stunned for a moment, "What did you say just now? I said that since my sister joined the CTHULHU expedition, I have lost contact with her."

"Is your sister a member of the CTHULHU expedition?" Siwei never expected to encounter such a thing. The members of the expedition who had either disappeared or committed suicide have now sprung up like mushrooms after rain, all pouring into his vision!

"Is... Is there a problem?" Gallagher was puzzled by Siwei's surprise.

Now, Siwei may know why Eugene did not let Jia live in the Balem Apartment.

Alice, her father is a member of the Star Foundation.

Al's mother is a member of the CTHULHU expedition.

Gallagher's sister is also a member of the CTHULHU expedition.

The original owner of Nidhogg is most likely Curtis Brandt, the leader of the CTHULHU expedition.

Waf knows Jack McHauden, a member of the original CTHULHU expedition.

If we want to find some connections... Siwei can make a guess, that is... the Star Foundation may be related to the expedition team, and Eugene knows all the members of the expedition team and can distinguish those who have close relationships with them!

So, was Eugene also a member of the expedition team? Or even a believer of the Star Foundation?

And if you want to live in the Balem Apartment, you have to have a relationship with the Star Foundation or the CTHULHU expedition team?

So what kind of relationship do I, the former Professor Siwei, have with the CTHULHU expedition team and the Star Foundation to get the opportunity to live in the Balem Apartment?
