Apostle of Cthulhu

The next day, Si Wei woke up because of a knock on the door.

I glanced at the time, it was already nine o'clock in the morning. Si Wei had some insomnia last night, probably because of yesterday's conversation with Egbert, which caused him to have random thoughts even while sleeping, affecting the quality of his sleep.

First, Si Wei simply put on his underwear and then opened the door of his room. But it was not Jia who came to the door today, but Gallagher.

"I have something to ask you, is that okay?"

Si Wei rubbed his temples and nodded: "Of course, I've been very free in the past few days."

"You know, as an astrologer, I often broaden my client base and help some people predict their future. Over time, my reputation has grown. But the commission I received today... I feel like it may not be So easy to deal with.”

"Commission?" Si Wei was confused, "Aren't you a fortune teller? Why do you still accept commissions? Do you need to make an appointment even for divination now?"

Gallagher shook his head, "No, I may be considered by those people to be an expert in dealing with abnormal events, so they entrusted me with this. Although I agreed, for the sake of safety, I think I still have to take you with me. "

"When do you need me?"

After thinking about it, Gallagher replied: "The sooner the better, I think it is necessary for me to take you to meet the client. Because the content of the trust is difficult for me to explain."

"Okay, please wait a moment and give me some time to wash up and tidy up." Si Wei took off his woolen coat and black knitted hat from the floor-standing hanger and threw them on the bed so that he could put them on later.

After a quick wash, Si Wei put on his clothes, pants and shoes, and arranged his buttons and cuffs. He walked out of the room, closed the door gently, and said to Gallagher, "Okay, let's go."

Following Gallagher down the duplex stairs, Si Wei happened to bump into Al who was going upstairs and said hello in a friendly way.

"Are you going out?" Al asked.

Gallagher answered on his behalf, "Yes, we have some things to take care of. We will be back around the afternoon. Please tell Mr. Eugene that there is no need to prepare lunch for us."

"no problem."

Farewell to Al, Eugene did not appear in front of the bar today, and he did not know where he went. He probably went to purchase ingredients.

Gallagher had prepared the carriage early in the morning, and he seemed to have come prepared, guessing that Si Wei would definitely agree to his request.

Si Wei didn't pay attention and followed Gallagher into the car.

"Can you briefly explain the entrustment?" Si Wei asked while taking a nap with his eyes closed.

Gallagher explained: "There is a couple whose child is eighteen or nineteen years old, but for some unknown reason, they have locked themselves in their room since a month ago. No matter what the couple is using There was no way to get the child out of the room using any of these methods.

"Starting half a month ago, they couldn't even open the door to the room, and even violent attempts to open the door had no effect. They also tried to break the windows outside the house, but even with guns, they couldn't. "

Si Wei looked at Gallagher, "It sounds like the missionary's power is at work."

Even the windows have bulletproof glass. As long as the couple did not exaggerate the facts, it could only be the work of the missionaries.

After hearing Si Wei's guess, Gallagher agreed, "I doubt it too, but we still have to base our words on the facts. When you get to that place, you should be able to understand what happened."

After learning these details, Si Wei changed the topic and asked something he was more concerned about, "How is the remuneration for this commission?"

"The reward...the couple offered 30,000 rum, but I think it is already a very high price. For an ordinary family, 30,000 rum is not a small amount."

From what he said, Gallagher might have thought that the other party was overpaying, but Si Wei didn't care about these things.

The carriage quickly arrived at its destination. The other party's address was in the Lantern District, and his living standard was not low, so he was able to give him a reward of 30,000 rams.

The couple's address is a small villa on the outskirts of the Lantern District. It has only two floors and a small garden, but it is very delicately maintained and looks pleasing to the eye.

Gallagher paid the driver some tips, straightened his collar, and rang their doorbell.

Soon, a haggard-looking man opened the door.

His hair was greasy and dry, and his eyes were bloodshot. His stubble is a little long, and he looks neglected, or he doesn't care at all about how he looks.

The man walked to the iron door with a hunched back and stiff steps, opened the door for Si Wei and Gallagher, and his voice was very dry and hoarse as soon as he opened his mouth, "What do you two...do you want?"

"I am Gallagher Morinson, the fortune teller who accepted your commission." Gallagher introduced himself politely, "This is the history professor at South Yoku University. "

Hearing this, the man's expression suddenly relaxed a lot, "Mr. Molinson, you are finally here. My wife and I have been waiting for you for a long time!"

"Sorry, we were delayed by some trivial matters on the way, but it still does not hinder our determination to try to save your child. Now please lead the way for us." Gallagher's response was perfect.

The man then remembered that he had not introduced himself yet, and quickly added, "Excuse me, my name is Ale Van Dijk, and my wife is Kurt Van Dijk. Recently, she is not in a good mood because of the child. Please forgive me if I offend her."

Si Wei gave a perfect smile at this time, "It's okay, Mr. Ale, we can understand your eagerness to love your son. Now please take us in and let us understand the whole picture of the matter."

Ale nodded repeatedly, like a newcomer in the workplace, "Okay, please come in with me."

Walking through the garden and into the first floor of the small villa, a warm air that was even a little scorching came to our faces. Si Wei raised his eyebrows and looked at Gallagher, but the latter did not show any expression.

It was as if he didn't notice the abnormality at all.

What's going on? Did Gallagher really not notice it?

This scorching heat...where does it come from?
