Apostle of Cthulhu

The dark and narrow passage did not last long. When Si Wei and Gary had walked in the passage for almost ten seconds, Gary suddenly asked, "Mr. Si Wei, I feel something is wrong. How long have we been walking?"

Si Wei was stunned for a moment and replied, "Ten seconds, is there any problem?"

"Ten seconds?" Gary was a little shocked, "This... shouldn't be..."

Si Wei realized something. This passage must have a barrier set up by some kind of mystic, and Gary was affected, but he was not!

What he didn't know was that from the moment he stepped into the passage, Gary had lost the concept of "time". Now his mind was a little confused about "time" and he couldn't tell whether ten seconds was long or short.

"Don't worry, I'm behind you, go forward boldly." Si Wei's words were a reassurance to Gary, and strengthened his belief in moving forward.

Si Wei began to estimate in his mind. The wailing just now was relatively weak, which meant that there was still some distance. And the passage was tilted slightly, which meant that this passage led to the ground.

Si Wei, who was secretly thinking about how to deal with it after entering the basement, followed behind Gary and had already put his hand on the gun bag under his armpit, ready to draw his gun at any time.

Soon, Gary saw the light.

He was lucky. If there was no Si Wei who ignored the barrier behind him, he would not only lose the concept of "time" in the dark passage, but also doubt his own existence and finally commit suicide.

The faint candlelight reflected in Si Wei's eyes. Gary was more radical. He took out the pistol on his waist, rushed out of the dark passage, and pointed the muzzle of the gun at everything he could see, "Don't move! Police!"

Si Wei walked out of the dark passage slowly, but saw a very distorted scene in front of him.

The basement was square, and they walked out from one corner of the square. A pit several meters deep was dug in the center of the basement, and the length and width were the same size.

In the center of the pit, there was a bracket, holding a girl in the center of the pit, and a lot of blood flowed into the pit from the four sides of the bracket.

In the pit, countless gift worms, as numerous as black pools of water, wriggled in it, desperately raising their "heads" from a biological perspective, as if they were begging for something.

The girl wailed, her white dress was stained with blood, and her fair skin was also covered with large and small holes and a lot of blood, but those holes were healing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Next to the pit, an elegant man in a black tuxedo stood there, with his hands in his trouser pockets. He was about 1.8 meters tall, with a big back hair, slightly high cheekbones, a thin face, and clearly visible dark circles around his eyes.

This man was called Isaac Victor, one of the four-star cores and the captain of the Black Raven.

Isaac turned his head and saw Siwei and Gary, with a little smile on his face, "Oh? You two can actually get in here? I really didn't expect it."

"This...what is this..." Gary's pupils trembled like an earthquake. He stared at the twisted and squirming gift insects. This gift creature gave him an incomparable shock, shattering his reason in an instant!

Siwei patted Gary's shoulder, but this did not awaken his reason. From his vision, the colors of the whole world began to fade, and glass fragments reflecting the evil of the world fell from mid-air, even reflecting his own ugly face.

"No... No! This is not me!" He held his head, tearing his hair with his free hand, blood flowing from his scalp, "This can't be me!"

Si Wei was about to wake him up, but Isaac woke him up with the attitude of a bystander, "Are you sure you want to save him? Ordinary people can't bear to look at such a large number of gift insects."

Hearing this, Si Wei saw the blood flowing from Gary, and the golden words were becoming more and more obvious, with only one sentence on it, "This is not true!"

Bang——

The smoke was filled, and the blood-stained muzzle emitted residual heat, burning the blood stained on it.

Gary committed suicide after facing these unspeakable things.

"So... who are you?" Isaac cast his eyes on Si Wei, who was not affected at all. "Are you another high-node missionary that I don't know about?"

Si Wei did not answer his question directly, but looked at Siti who was in great pain, "What happened to this child?"

Isaac did not mind, and turned his eyes back to Siti, "Can't you see? She is now a breeding ground for gift insects."

"No, I'm asking why you do this." Si Wei does not believe that gift insects can be born on their own.

Isaac said: "This has nothing to do with me. You must ask the first family who adopted her about the gift insects. I am just helping her. Unfortunately, the ending cannot be changed."

It has nothing to do with Isaac?

Si Wei frowned and looked at Siti who was groaning in pain, "How long has it been going on?"

Although there was no reason, Isaac still explained the matter to Si Wei, as if he didn't care about Si Wei's invasion of his mansion at all. "When I adopted this child, the influence of the gift worm was not very big. At that time, I could still help her suppress the gift worm, but as time passed, her sequence node increased, and the power of the gift worm was also enhanced."

Isaac showed a look of pity, "Now, I can't help her suppress it. It has deteriorated sharply tonight. A new batch of gift worms will be born every hour, and then disembowel her. I can only use some drugs to barely maintain her life."

Every hour, she has to experience the feeling of being disemboweled?

Si Wei couldn't imagine that feeling, because he had never experienced it. The only similar experience was when Ya Weng stabbed his abdomen with a knife, which was painful enough.

"Are you sure there is no way to help her?" Isaac had no intention of conflicting with him, and Si Wei would naturally not take the initiative to provoke him.

Isaac shook his head silently.

Si Wei gritted his teeth, pretended to take out the All-Knowing Book from his pocket, and turned a few pages.

"What are you doing?" Isaac asked.

"Looking up some information." Si Wei answered without raising his head.

He asked silently in his heart: "All-Knowing Book, how can I help this child?"

The answer given by the All-Knowing Book was very simple, "Except for using my power, you can't save this child."

The answer was quite straightforward, and it basically made Si Wei give up this idea.

First, he couldn't confirm whether Siti and Isaac really had such a deep bond, and whether he could make friendly friends with Isaac after saving him.

Second, he didn't know what would happen after using the power of the All-Knowing Book this time.

Si Wei looked at Siti, whose face was twisted together. This child was originally very beautiful and cute, but now these gift insects tortured her to death.

If it was Si Wei, he would definitely ask others to free him in this situation.

But this girl hasn't said this yet, obviously there are two people in front of her.

Under such pain, the child still wants to persist and live.

Is this determination to survive related to some kind of emotion?

Si Wei glanced at Isaac, whose eyes not only hid pity, but also a little obvious loneliness.

Si Wei couldn't verify the authenticity of his eyes, so he could only sigh and ask, "Can I try?"

"Try? Try what?" Isaac was puzzled.

Si Wei didn't answer, but walked silently to the front of the pit.

He is an apostle of Cthulhu. If these gift insects are the product of "unknown", they will definitely avoid him.

He wants to take a gamble, betting on the authenticity of his identity.
