Apostle of Cthulhu

Ding dong——

After ringing the doorbell, Si Wei and Nancy stood outside the door, waiting for someone inside to open the door.

The person who opened the door was a little boy who looked very afraid of strangers. He looked at Si Wei and Nancy with a pair of big black eyes, full of curiosity and exhaustion.

"Hello, kid," Si Wei waved his hand and looked approachable, "We are your father's former friends. I wonder if we can meet your mother?"

The little boy nodded blankly, then closed the door, rushed into a corner of the room, and shouted the word "Mom" loudly.

Not long after, a very wary and unhealthy-looking woman came to Si Wei and Nancy and opened the door, "Boy, what's the matter? I don't remember my husband's previous friendships. There are two of you in the circle."

Si Wei first bowed and saluted, and then introduced himself: "Hello, my name is Si Wei. I am a professor of history at the University of Nanyoku in Volingdu. I am currently specializing in Raleye culture."

Nancy also said: "I am his assistant."

The woman's frown deepened, "Raleye? What is that? I've never heard of it. If it's nothing serious, just leave as soon as possible! We will not receive any suspicious persons in our home during this period."

Bang——!

As soon as she finished speaking, the woman closed the door completely without giving Si Wei and Nancy a chance to react.

Nancy crossed her arms and said without any sarcasm, "It seems that this family doesn't like strangers very much..."

Si Wei said: "It's understandable. After all, my husband has just passed away, and there must be many related and unrelated people interacting frequently. This woman's approach of shutting us out is completely understandable, but... in this case, the action will be It will come to a standstill.”

"No," Nancy said suddenly at this moment, "Teacher, try covering your eyes with the power of grace and see if there is anything wrong around here."

Hearing this, Si Wei did as he was told and began to look around.

Sure enough, Si Wei soon saw something emitting a faint light on a book next to the woman's house.

It looked like water spread on the tree trunk, distributed very irregularly.

"What is this?" Si Wei walked to the tree trunk and released the power of his gift, then rubbed his finger on the pool of liquid.

A sticky, slightly warm colloid remained on his body.

Nancy explained: "It should be some kind of secretion that retains the power of grace, coming from a fallen person."

Has a fallen person ever come here?

The police station did not mention any relevant witness information, and the neighbors seemed not to have noticed this.

If such a big degenerate is allowed to roam the streets of Modo City, it will undoubtedly be a time bomb!

But the question also emerged, why did the fallen appear here? And it didn't cause any commotion? The Fallen are all guys who have fallen into madness and have no sense of autonomy. There is no reason for them not to attack the surrounding buildings, vegetation and pedestrians.

This doubt also lingered in Nancy's mind, but this time Siwei reacted faster than him, "The panacea mentioned before... can improve inspiration and sequence nodes, right? If it is The person who was fed the elixir had his inspiration forcibly elevated and eventually became a degenerate, and it was at this stage that he wandered here?"

Nancy immediately understood what Si Wei meant and summed it up in more concise language, "You mean, he left here while he was still conscious?"

Si Wei nodded, "In this case, the fallen person will not only leave this trace. Judging from the position of the secretion, it seems that the fallen person leaned against the tree trunk in the process of falling out of control. . Since he had to rely on tree trunks to maintain his balance in the beginning, there is no reason why he should not leave more traces when he leaves. "

"I see, this is indeed a possibility." Nancy laughed with satisfaction, "Sure enough, she is still a teacher. It seems that I still have a lot to learn in this regard."

Si Wei ignored his words, but quickly climbed up to the middle of the tree, found a commanding height, and started looking for other traces.

There were already some guesses in his mind, but finding the next trace was still a top priority.

Si Wei stood on the tree trunk, while Nancy wandered around the mansion to see if she could find any more clues.

Suddenly, Nancy noticed something.

Turning back to the tree, Nancy said: "Teacher, I have a brand new discovery here. I wonder if you have any ideas to observe it."

Si Wei didn't find any new traces on the tree. When he learned that Nancy had made a new discovery, he naturally jumped down from the tree trunk.

Si Wei calmly brushed off the leaves on his body and said, "What did you find?"

Nancy led Si Wei to the back of the house. This family still lives in a small two-story villa with a wall surrounding the house and a small garden.

In the wall behind them, a very small hole that could only fit through an ant appeared in front of them.

Si Wei covered his eyes with the power of the gift, but he discovered colloids similar to those on the tree trunks from around the hole.

Nancy said: "Now, I only doubt one thing, and that is whether people from the police department have conducted investigations at their home."

With a serious expression on his face, Si Wei asked in a deep voice, "You mean, you now suspect that the degenerate has returned to this woman's home and was just sheltered by her, right?"

Nancy did not answer, but said: "I am not worried about this family at all, but if it is because of the protection of this family, the degenerate finally caused the tragedy. Me, Bell, Kratos and you, the teacher, we Each of the four people may be blamed.

"I believe you don't want to be abandoned by the empire so soon, right?"

Si Wei frowned. Indeed, he was not yet capable of taking charge of his own business. It would definitely be a bad idea to be abandoned by Egbert prematurely like Kedis.

So, the handling of this matter is basically imminent.

"I understand, but to be on the safe side, we need to contact Bell and Kratos." Si Wei is not afraid that Nancy will not have the strength to deal with the hidden fallen one. As a vacillating chess piece, Si Wei needs the situation to be complete. Being in his own hands, in this case, Bell and Kratos would be very useful as trump cards to restrain Nancy.

Nancy naturally had no objection and nodded in agreement.
