Apostle of Cthulhu

By the time Siwei, Jiaya and June had packed their belongings, it was already dusk.

After taking a nap in bed for a while, Jiaya waited in the next room to wake Siwei up on time, while June... ran to the street to appreciate the "local customs" of Chadrielle now.

As the moonlight gradually brightened, Jiaya came to Siwei's room, woke him up, and then returned to her room.

Siwei did not let anyone accompany him, and Norris, the only one who might be able to help him, was missing, so he could only go to the dock alone.

Fortunately, the dock was not far away. From the time Jiaya woke Siwei up, plus the time he walked there, it was almost exactly around midnight, which was consistent with the time when the crying was rumored.

The streets of Chadrielle at night were even more deserted than those in Akra, and basically there were no shops that continued to operate. In the mist, you can still hear the sound of someone being beaten, and the low gasps between the opposite sexes.

Si Wei ignored any of these things and focused on the difficult and complicated problems he was about to face.

Before he reached the lighthouse, he could only see the searchlight of the lighthouse from afar through the mist, and he had already heard the low, continuous crying.

"Woo... woo..."

The crying was strange, not scary, but it sounded like the crying of a spoiled child, which made Si Wei a little strange.

His eyes swept across the street next door, where there were one or two wooden barrels for beer. Behind them was a man squatting with a sneaky look, as if he was investigating something related to the crying.

But within nearly ten seconds of the crying, he began to hold his head, and his mouth uttered an ominous language that did not belong to this world.

His seven orifices began to flow with crimson blood. Something was affecting his mind, and golden lines began to appear on the blood.

It was still a simple text, "Why did I come here?"

This was probably self-blame in some situation. If he hadn't come here and heard the crying, he might have lived a few more days.

However, his appearance confirmed Si Wei's conjecture that this cry was related to the "unknown", otherwise it would be impossible for a grown man to go crazy just by crying.

Si Wei stepped forward and gently knocked on the man's head to help him get rid of the crazy state just now. Although the golden text gradually blurred, judging from his condition, it is estimated that he will be crazy for the rest of his life and have certain sequelae.

Unfortunately, this is his own choice, and Si Wei can't go back to the past and change his choice.

There are many reefs next to the lighthouse, but there are not many reefs that are big enough to hide a human body. Si Wei quickly locked one of the reefs through his gift power and crying, and approached the reef steadily and carefully.

It is now early morning. According to the time calculation of this world, it has just started to recede. The reef is slippery. If you are not careful, you may fall into the sea and may get hurt.

Si Wei didn't even bring a flashlight, and he observed the appearance of the reef purely with his naked eyes.

Eyesight is also part of physical improvement. If Si Wei had not already reached the third node, he would definitely bring a flashlight.

However, the light might alert the source of the crying sound. After weighing all the options, Si Wei finally chose to take the risk.

The crying sound was getting closer and closer to him, and Si Wei felt that the crying sound was becoming more and more strange. It was not only crying, but also sobbing. The intermittent crying reminded him of the crying of a child.

Soon, he arrived at the front of the reef, and the crying sound came from the back of the reef, and the two were only one meter apart!

Just when Si Wei was about to take action, the crying sound suddenly stopped, and a crying voice said to Si Wei: "I... I know you are behind... Woo, come out, I... I won't eat you..."

Has he been discovered?

Si Wei didn't know when he was discovered, but since the other party had said so, and even kept this distance from him and didn't leave, Si Wei could only choose to show up.

He slowly raised his hand, then straightened his body, revealing his upper body from the reef, "Well... I hope you can forgive my peeping... behavior."

The reason why Si Wei's voice gradually slowed down was because the guy who appeared in front of him was a little unexpected.

A beautiful face, but there were some fish scales on the neck and cheeks that looked green in the moonlight. She didn't wear any clothes on her upper body, revealing her perfect body that could be called the power of the creator. Her long blue hair exuded the smell of sea water and an unknown fragrance.

But her lower body was a fish.

Isn't this the mermaid rumored in Si Wei's previous world?

"Are you... a human?" Her voice was very nice, but with a crying tone, which made people feel pity involuntarily. But Si Wei didn't react at all.

Si Wei looked around and confirmed that the one crying was the mermaid in front of him. He asked, "Are you a mermaid?"

"Mermaid?" She shook her head. "You humans all call us that, but there is a woman who likes to call us Siren..."

Siren?

Si Wei guessed that it was another good deed of Cotice, but she might have remembered it wrongly. Isn't Siren a sea monster with a human head and a bird body?

I didn’t expect that a professor of R’lyeh culture who is well-known in the academic world would get this wrong…

“Let’s not talk about whether you are sirens… why are you here?”

It would be fine if she didn’t mention this matter, but once she mentioned it, she looked like she was about to cry, “Woo woo woo, I don’t want to cry here either, but… but… I want to drink!”

Drink… drink?

Si Wei was stunned for a moment, “Are you kidding me?”

“Who is kidding you! I’m here because I want to drink! I was originally shouting, but no one listened, so I gradually turned into crying.”

Someone almost died because of your crying just now. And don’t you know how high the price of mermaid brain is on the market? You actually dared to call humans over. If it weren’t for me who appeared here today, you would have been separated from your fish head long ago.

Si Wei rubbed his temples, "I'll ask you a question. If you answer honestly, I'll consider bringing you some wine tomorrow."

The mermaid immediately showed joy, "Okay, okay, you ask, I promise to answer you honestly!"

"What's your relationship with Jennyan Doti?"

The mermaid's eyes lit up, "She told me I could find wine here!"

So that's it, it was a trap that was prepared early in the morning. Jennyan knew that I was coming back here through someone's channel, and then set up such a trap in advance for me to jump into... Is the purpose to let me go to the meeting of the four-star core with her?

So...what is the reason that I need to accompany Jennyan to attend this meeting of the four-star core?
