Apostle of Cthulhu

Si Wei opened his eyes and saw the mottled ceiling.

There was only a monotonous light bulb hanging from the ceiling, which was attached to the wall with simple transparent tape.

The blanket covering him was a little prickly. Si Wei touched the material and found that it was not prickly at all, because it was too worn out and had been washed to a white color.

However, there were no mites in it. The owner should clean it frequently. There were still some residual fragrance on it.

"How long have I slept..." Si Wei pulled his hand out of the blanket and looked at the watch on his wrist.

The current time was seven o'clock in the morning.

"Are you awake?" Georgina's hoarse voice came into Si Wei's ears. He turned his head and saw Georgina sitting next to him with newspapers on the wall as the background, fiddling with some clothes in her hands.

The place where Si Wei slept could not be called a bed or a kang. He slept directly on the ground, with some blankets under his body to keep out the cold.

Si Wei propped himself up and looked around.

The whole room was quite empty. There was nothing else except some garbage.

Rubbing his head, Si Wei asked Georgina, "Was I only unconscious for a few hours?"

Georgina nodded, not stopping the sewing in her hands, "About that, I haven't slept all the time, it's only about five or six hours."

"That's good..." Si Wei breathed a sigh of relief. If he woke up and found that he had been unconscious for almost half a month, he wouldn't need to stop the resurgence of the cave wound. It is estimated that others would have woken up and couldn't wake up anymore.

Seeing Si Wei sitting up, Georgina brought a porcelain bowl on a wooden table that was only about one square meter next to him and handed it to Si Wei, "Here, this is breakfast."

Si Wei took the broken porcelain bowl and saw what was inside, and his whole face darkened.

Few people can see Si Wei with such an expression. After all, this is the first time Si Wei has encountered such an outrageous thing since he came to this world.

The things in the porcelain bowl... are bugs.

Si Wei had tried those weird insect delicacies before crossing over, but the situation now was qualitatively different.

These things... were still wriggling.

"Excuse me, I want to ask, do you usually eat these things?" Si Wei rubbed his temples with a relatively stable mood. The worms in the porcelain bowl had begun to rub against Si Wei's fingers, giving him a sticky and disgusting feeling.

Georgina nodded seriously, "Don't worry, this kind of insect provides a lot of protein."

"Can you survive on protein alone?" Si Wei sighed and put the porcelain bowl on the ground, "We are still in Zhila City, right?"

Seeing that Si Wei didn't eat, Georgina put the porcelain bowl back on the shaky wooden table, "Yes, after all, apart from Zhila City... I have nowhere else to go."

"Where are your previous family members?" Si Wei asked, "Although you and your ex-husband are divorced, you can still go to your parents, right?"

Georgina shook her head and stood up with a tired body, "My previous family members are all dead, and I am the only one left."

"Where are the relatives?"

Looking a little melancholy, Georgina did not avoid the question, "I don't know."

The meaning of this sentence is very clear, who would want to carry a burden?

Georgina has become like this now, and it is obvious that she has been affected by something. Si Wei would never believe that a woman with hands and feet who can survive in this situation would fall into this situation.

"If it's convenient, can I ask you? What's the reason for your divorce from your ex-husband?"

"No divorce."

Si Wei was stunned for a moment, "Sorry... what did you say?"

Georgina emphasized her tone and repeated her words, "We, are not divorced."

"Then... why... you..."

Georgina raised her hand and interrupted Si Wei's words, "He has always been by my side, and I have been waiting for him. Because I know... he will definitely fulfill his promise.

"People in this city only see the appearance, and never see the secrets under the deep level. When those things that invaded our world at dusk suddenly broke into our world, they would realize the problem belatedly. "

These words actually reminded Si Wei of the previous letter.

Yes, the man also said at that time that those monsters invaded the normal world at dusk.

Is this also a hint?

But the Grim Reaper attacked himself in the early hours of the morning last night, and perhaps it was not the same type of monster as the one the man found.

The Grim Reaper will not leave footprints and let out a beast-like howl.

"I understand. "Si Wei stood up and bowed to Georgina, "What is the promise your husband made to you?"

Georgina glanced at Si Wei.

Then, she said: "He told me... he would definitely stop those monsters from invading our world."

Si Wei didn't think that an ordinary person alone could stop the wound of the cave.

But since they have reached a consensus on their goals now, Si Wei can provide appropriate help.

Because this is what he should do.

"What are you talking about? Now you want to go to the deacon of the Pantheon to settle accounts?" As soon as Joe heard the purpose of Kratos' trip, he knew that this would definitely not have a good result. "What are you going to do? Competing with her? Even though Hickey ranks last among the four great deacons, he is by no means better than you."

Kratos shook his head seriously. He avoided Bell specifically because he was determined to die. "I have raised Bell, and now he is qualified to face society. But my sin is not yet After redemption, the revenge of Mr. and Mrs. Clive has been the pain of my life, and I must take revenge!”

Joe knows that once Kratos decides on something, he will never give up. Although he didn't want to watch Kratos die, he certainly couldn't stop him.

"I don't want to stop you, and I can't stop you. I just want to know whether you are mentally prepared." Joe's tone revealed helplessness, "You are the current captain of the Filth Squad. Once you leave, the Dirty Squad will be here again." Who should lead the team?"

No one in the current dirty team can carry the captain's banner, even Kratos himself knows this.

However, he had reason to believe in Bell.

"I used to be called upon in times of crisis. I believe that Bell, who is the same kind of person as me, can do the same."

Seeing his firm tone, Qiao didn't know how to say "You just impose pain on others" in his throat.

Perhaps, only at the most critical moment can he wake up.
