Apostle of Cthulhu

Feeling a chill on his forehead, Si Wei opened his eyes. What came into view was a ceiling with mottled paint.

A simple light bulb hung from the ceiling, emitting a slightly orange light that shone directly into Si Wei's eyes, but it did not make him feel dazzled at all.

The cold thing on his head was a rag filled with water, folded into a rectangle and placed on top of his head.

"Are you awake?" A familiar voice came to Si Wei's ears. He turned his head and looked at the woman sitting next to him.

Siwei recognized her. Her name was Clan Joy, and she was a doctor in the Bonfire District of Volingdu.

She was also the woman that the original Professor Si Wei loved.

Si Wei then remembered that he still had a ring that belonged to the former Professor Si Wei. He had placed it in the Balem Apartment and kept it well.

"Why are you here?" Crane felt very strange. "You disappeared in Zhila City, but this is already Holai City, which is hundreds of thousands of miles away from Zhila City. How did you get here?"

It was impossible for Si Wei to answer that he was kidnapped by people from the Pantheon Cult, so he could only change the subject, "Then why are you here?"

Crane said: "There is no way. The competition among the factions in Fulingdu is getting more and more intense. Now everyone wants to achieve some actual results, so they are abusing their power, just for fear of uncovering a strange person. Believers. Although I am considered a semi-atheist, according to the execution intensity of those nobles, I am afraid that I will also be imprisoned.

"In addition, the final decision on the king's position will be made in three weeks. Before causing a big mess, it is better to stay as far away from Fulingdu as possible."

Is Fuling already like this now...

Si Wei himself didn't know that he had been locked up in the dungeon for three years. When he glanced at the calendar on the wall just now, he thought he had read it wrong.

Crane's face looked a little more haggard, but it still couldn't hide her former beauty.

The whole house is very simple, but it is neatly kept, which is enough to show that Crane is very attentive and is not just looking for a temporary place to take care of.

"What about you?" Kelan brought the topic back to Si Wei, "You have been missing for three years, and now I have finally caught you. What are you going to do?"

Si Wei rubbed his temples, "If I said... I've been sleeping for three years, would you believe me?"

Crane was silent for a moment and showed a gentle smile.

"If that's what you said, I want to believe it."

Si Wei glanced at Kelan.

The latter suddenly spoke again, "You know? A few years ago, before you did academic research with Miss Grenville, I could see that you were slightly attracted to me. I also fell in love at that time. You, I want to wait until you come back to discuss this matter with you.

"But after you returned to Volingdu, I noticed that your eyes had changed.

"You used to stand in front of me, as shy as a child, unable to hide any secrets of yours. But when you came to my clinic last time, I couldn't understand what you were thinking.

"Including the fact that you have been missing for three years and were wanted by the empire. Only then did I realize that I actually know nothing about you. This may be the beginning of the tragedy."

In addition to tenderness, there was also a bit of sadness in Crane's eyes, "I don't know what happened to you Siwei. I don't know what made you change so much, but the only thing I know for sure now is That is, I hope that I still love you, and my love is being worn away by time.”

No, Miss Crane, it's not that time has passed away, it's just that the person you love is not "the current Si Wei".

Si Wei sighed silently, vaguely guessing what Crane wanted to say next.

"I don't know what you are going to do now, but Volings are all in danger. Si Wei, can you stay here? Come with me."

Si Wei looked at Kelan, whose eyes were full of pleading and humility.

In order to save Si Wei's life, she could only do this.

In the bonfire area, the poor regard her as the messenger of God who saves the common people. Everyone respects her very much and will never fight in front of her clinic.

Now, in front of Si Wei, she didn't care about anything and wanted to use her begging in exchange for Si Wei's life.

"I'm sorry, Miss Crane." This was what Si Wei said.

I'm sorry, Miss Crane. This is what he said in his heart.

"Forgive me for not being able to keep you company, because I still have things to do."

Because the person you love is not me, this love belongs to others. No matter how long we stay together, your love will eventually be in vain.

"If there is a future, I might consider it again."

However, this is always impossible. Theoretically speaking, the original Professor Si Wei is dead, and what is lying in front of you now is just an intruder.

The expression on Crane's face hardened.

Taking the rag off his head, Si Wei lifted off the blanket on his body, got out of bed, and tidied his clothes.

"Is it true?" Crane still refused to give up, "Now there is a belief called the Truth Sect in Volingdu, which has begun to spread, and everyone says it has something to do with you. Now you are the most wanted target of the empire, even though you know this , Do you still want to go back to Fulingdu? "

The Sect of Truth?

As soon as he heard this name, Si Wei knew that it had something to do with him.

"Yes." Si Wei took his clothes from the hanger and put them on. With his current physique, he would have no problem even if he went directly into a sub-zero environment.

Just as he was about to leave, Si Wei seemed to have thought of something and added to Kelan: "If you want to help me... you can also believe in this Truth Church."

Kelan didn't understand the reason, "Why?"

Si Wei turned half of his face to the side, and there was no emotional fluctuation in his words.

"Because, I am the extraditionist of the Truth Church."

"Where are you going?" On the outskirts of Modo City, Bai Fuli saw Norris who was about to go out and stopped him halfway.

Norris lit a cigarette for himself and said, "Can't you go out for a walk?"

"When you said this, you actually didn't want to hide it from me, right?" Bai Fuli was very smart, "You are going to Fulingdu?"

Norris really didn't want to hide anything, "A bastard gave me some very troublesome tasks, and I have to go back to Fulingdu to handle them. Otherwise, I also want to continue to enjoy this retirement life."

Bang——

Throwing all the purchased ingredients and daily necessities on the ground, Bai Fuli took out her hand axe from behind, showing a threatening expression, "You have been eating and drinking for free here for so long, it's time for some substantial rewards, right?"

Even if he didn't listen to what Bai Fuli had to say, Norris could guess it almost right.

"Alas," he sighed, "Okay, just don't make trouble."
