Apostle of Cthulhu

Although it was lunch, Siwei chose a fast food restaurant to make do with the other party's mood and urgency.

For Ivana, who often accompanied Isaac to the sea, even a fast food restaurant was a good enjoyment.

After eating a few sandwiches and drinking a cup of pretty good hot coffee, Siwei and Ivana set out to find the Pantheist believers.

But before that, Siwei had some "bad ideas" in his mind.

——

The police station next to the Pirate Hotel.

In the briefing room, a young policeman named Joseph was yawning.

Bang——

His boss hit him on the head with a stack of newspapers, but there was no anger on his face, "Joseph, you are getting more and more sleepy recently? I know that the security situation in Chadriel is not good, but you should also pay attention to adjustment, otherwise it will be difficult for you to adapt to the fast-paced work here."

"Okay, boss." Joseph responded listlessly. He just joined the team not long ago this year and can only be regarded as a newcomer. He was sent to Chadriel because of the shortage of manpower and was used to fill the number.

However, if he can complete all tasks perfectly in Chadriel, then it will naturally be a rebirth for him, and there will be endless opportunities for promotion.

The atmosphere in the police station these days is still good. After all, the imperial force has deterred the pirate group, and the only remaining four-star core is also taking all the pirates to hide from the limelight. The workload will definitely be reduced in the next few days.

The only thing that made the atmosphere of the police station depressing was that a policeman named Gary Leo died inexplicably.

That's right, it was Gary Leo, who accompanied Si Wei to sneak into Victor Mansion and eventually died from the indescribable gift bug.

No one knows when and where he died. Even Gary's body had been buried in the cemetery in advance, and then someone sent an anonymous letter to the police station.

They didn't have time to hold a grand funeral for Gary, nor did they have time to waste on him, so they could only take turns to see Gary's tombstone and then return to their work.

It's ridiculous. It was obviously a police officer who died, but they didn't have time to find out the cause of death and track down the real culprit.

This incident has been lingering in Joseph's mind, causing him to have a bad sleep these days, otherwise he wouldn't have dozed off in the briefing room.

"Joseph, I have something for you to handle," the boss threw a stack of documents on the table in front of Joseph, with a special seal on it. This task is related to the Pantheist Church. "You have to handle this task properly. We don't want to alert the enemy. There may be some very important clues."

Joseph opened the file bag and browsed the summary of the content.

In short, in Chadriel, there are currently a group of Pantheist missionaries conveying the Pantheist ideology to ordinary people. This kind of thing is done under the nose of the Holy Cross Church. It is simply an insult and a great provocation.

This can also explain why, under such a busy situation, it is only an investigation task, and the priority is so high.

If the priority of the tasks related to the Pantheist Church is not high enough, some people in the upper echelons of the empire will definitely make a fuss about these things, not to mention Chadriel, where the Holy Cross Church was established?

"Hmm... Are you going today? I see. Is that the only thing?"

His boss replied: "This alone will keep you busy for several days. The believers of the Pantheist Church are very cunning. I don't want you to become a believer of the Pantheist Church when you come back."

Joseph smiled and lifted the necklace of the spirit-keeping doctrine from under his collar, "Don't worry, I am a firm believer of the spirit-keeping doctrine! The spirit-keeping man is the salvation!"

The boss glanced at him, "It's better to do so. I don't want to do such a thing as killing my subordinates..."

In the Salem Empire, whether to believe in the spirit-keeping doctrine is directly related to your future prospects, because in their hearts, the issue of faith is deeply rooted.

As for the reason, Si Wei is not clear.

Perhaps it is precisely because of this deep-rooted thought that the birth of an organization like the Pantheist Church has become strange.

Why? Is it that there is something wrong with the spirit-keeping doctrine that makes a small group of people have the idea of ​​establishing a new faith?

Or, in fact, the gods believed in by each faith really exist? Otherwise, the Pantheism would not have gone to such great lengths to find the whereabouts of the Goddess of Chaos.

Similarly, Joseph did not know why. He only knew that he needed to believe in the doctrine of the spirit-keeping, which was enough. As for the Pantheism... it was just a cult.

Before leaving the police station, Joseph changed into casual clothes. He did not want to be alerted by the Pantheism because he was wearing the professional clothes of the police station.

According to the description in the archives, the missionary point of the Pantheism believers was fixed, in a bungalow at No. 37, Mulan Street. The bungalow had not been inhabited for a long time and had always been a place for homeless people. Unexpectedly, it was used as waste by the Pantheism believers today.

Mulan Street was not too far from the police station, but it took a long time to walk there. The public tram received an inexplicable suspension notice a few days ago, and the carriage driver rarely showed up because of the rampant gang members and pirates.

Joseph had no choice but to borrow a bicycle from the police station. Fortunately, there was no special sign on it, only some graffiti by the police officers themselves, which generally would not reveal their identities to outsiders.

Gurgle...

Hearing this sound, Joseph remembered that he had not even eaten breakfast and lunch. If he kept this schedule, he would definitely get sick.

He stopped at a fast food restaurant at random, ordered a hamburger and a serving of fries, and quickly filled his stomach.

Joseph was not in a hurry, because the files said that the preachers' preaching time would start at around two o'clock in the afternoon. It was just past one o'clock now, and the distance was not far, so even if he walked slowly now, there would be no problem.

"Hello, sir."

At this time, a person's voice disturbed Joseph's thinking.

He turned around and saw a stranger looking at him from behind.

This man was quite handsome, but not outstanding. He wore a pair of black plain glasses on his face, and there were some freckles that were not too obvious.

His suit can only be considered cost-effective, not cheap, nor expensive. It can be seen that he deliberately did so to show his identity.

"Uh... who are you?" Joseph always felt that he didn't know this person, but if that was the case, why did he still greet him?

The man smiled, he bowed slightly, and introduced himself, "Hello, please don't be wary of me, I have no ill intentions, I am just an ordinary person named Shuke."

Shuke?

Joseph looked this man up and down, but only found that the ring on his right index finger was unusual, and there was no difference from ordinary people in other places.

That's right, there is a ring on the right index finger.

This person who calls himself Shuke is actually Si Wei in disguise!
