Apostle of Cthulhu

"Is what he said true?" After Nancy was expelled by the Sea of ​​Void, Si Wei looked at Jia and asked this question.

Jia still twirled her hair around her ears and avoided Si Wei's eyes, "He's right."

"So, can you tell me something?"

Jia was silent for a moment and gave her own answer, "You don't need to know these things yet, because you have not been confirmed as the only candidate. As long as the selection is still going on normally, the candidates have no right to know these things. "

Hearing this, Si Wei did not make any expression.

Jia looked at him and asked: "After knowing this answer, will you choose to change the messenger? You can do it at any time if you want. I can also take off this ring."

As she spoke, she raised her right hand and looked up at the plain diamond ring on her index finger.

"No," Si Wei shook his head, "I won't feel disgusted or angry just because I concealed it. From the time I traveled to this world to now, I have slowly learned too many secrets. Now that we have reached the current situation, I definitely won’t be in a hurry.”

Jia was already very satisfied to get such an answer.

At this time, Si Wei brought the topic back on track, "What do we need to do now?"

When it came to business, Jia immediately returned to her assistant mode, with a serious and serious tone, "Before dealing with the most important matter, I must know what you think. Only when I understand what expectations you have, I Only then did I understand how to deal with it next.

"The other three candidates must have told you that the 'Reset Day' of this world is not far away. In the previous era, it was because of the existence of Halea, a man with great dedication and heroism, that humankind Civilization is not completely cut off. The three candidates at this time are completely inactive. You are the only one who can save the world before the 'Reset Day'."

The burden related to the entire human civilization had fallen on Si Wei's shoulders without him knowing it. However, he did not feel any substantial weight. He could only say that those higher beings had never put pressure on him.

"Is promotion the only thing I can do?" Si Wei asked, "Is this the only way to prevent the 'Reset Day'?"

Jia was silent for a moment, and then said: "Maybe... no, this is the only way you can go now."

Maybe?

Si Wei wrinkled his eyebrows, there was obviously something in Jiya's words. But if he pressed her, Jia would definitely not give an answer, so Si Wei was more willing to find out the truth later.

"All in all, I definitely don't want to see human civilization cut off. In addition, I still need to resolve some of the chaos caused by me. Now I don't know much about the major events that happened in the Salem Empire. Can you tell me? ?”

Jia nodded and began to recount everything that had happened in the past three years from the beginning, "Since the Zhila City incident, because they kidnapped you, the core members of the Pantheon Cult have focused all their attention on you. The peripheral members have gradually fallen silent. , did not cause any big confusion.

"The Dirt Squad, that is, the secret team of Bell Clive, Kratos Eisenhower, and June Bellina, has been disbanded. The vice-captain has taken all the charges and has been executed.

"More than two weeks later, it will be the final decision that Egbert can continue to serve as king. Some nobles are trying their best to win some honors, so the number of followers of Pantheon has begun to decrease sharply recently. Most of them have been arrested and then dealt with secretly. Lost.

"The Star Foundation is collecting information related to the Academy of Life Sciences. It seems that it wants to control the last trump card in Egbert's hand."

Si Wei was a little confused when he heard this extremely unfamiliar term and asked, "School of Life Sciences? What is that?"

Jia explained: "The Academy of Life Sciences is an institution established after the expedition team was disbanded, focusing on the research and investigation of gifted things. Joe Rupert is their most successful man-made product."

Qiao, is he actually a gifted life created by man?

Si Wei really didn't know this. In a sense, all outsiders were gifted lives created by higher beings.

They have a certain similarity with humans, but have a stronger affinity for the power of grace, so the sequence nodes are often higher than ordinary missionaries.

Therefore, in a sense, Joe is not only a beast master, but also half an outsider.

Also thanks to his artificial attributes, Joe is different from ordinary outsiders. He can improve his sequence nodes, but ordinary outsiders cannot do this.

Even Nancy is still trapped in the eighth node.

"According to some of my prior investigations, there is an opposition force that has received Egbert's secret order to find all the creations of the Academy of Life Sciences and prepare to stage a temporary show when the final decision falls short.

"The content of this scene will ultimately affect the direction of the ruling through Egbert's decisive decision-making and execution."

Si Wei listened and gave his own opinion, "What a hasty plan and script. There are many opportunities to take advantage of."

Jia and Si Wei had the same opinion, "Yes, so I think we can take advantage of this opportunity and maybe make the result of the ruling go in the direction we want."

After saying this, Jia looked at Si Wei very seriously, "So, I want to know, as the god worshipped by the Truth Church, what is your opinion? What result do you want to see?"

Si Wei waved his hand and corrected Jia's way of calling, "Don't call me a god. Anyway, the other three candidates have their nicknames. Don't call me the Lord of Truth. I am not worthy of it."

"Then...what should I call you?"

After thinking about it, Si Wei said, "Just call me the extraditionist. The title of professor is not suitable for me."

Jia knelt on one knee respectfully and saluted Si Wei, saying, "Yes, the extraditionist."

Ignoring this extremely uncomfortable scene, Si Wei thought about what kind of ending he wanted.

However, before thinking about this answer, Si Wei had a new idea.

Perhaps...this result is very good.

——

The rain was heavy and the thunder was continuous.

Today's Fuling City seemed particularly uneasy.

Climbing up from the muddy road, Nancy seemed absent-minded.

He had never been so embarrassed, nor had he ever been so heartbroken.

His goal was still a failure. The teacher gave up on him, so what was the point of living?

The air was filled with the fragrance of rain, but Nancy didn't feel comfortable at all. He just felt... there was no need to stay in this world anymore.

"You seem very lost."

A voice that had never been heard before came over the harsh and chaotic rain.

Nancy raised her tired eyes and saw the woman in front of her.

He had never met this woman face to face, but because he had been concerned about Si Wei's movements, he knew this woman.

"I know you, you are the last human left of the Haleiya civilization, right? Your name is... Celia?"

Celia was holding an umbrella, standing a few meters away from Nancy, looking at him with her pitying eyes through the heavy rain curtain.

"Don't look at me with that look you have." Nancy looked at Celia with hostile eyes like a wounded beast.

"You haven't been completely abandoned by Siwei," she held a book in her hand. That book... was Haleiya's all-knowing book. "You still have a chance. Do you want to know what it is?"

Nancy was stunned. Do I still have a chance?

Celia turned around, leaving him with only her back. "If you want to know, come with me."

Hearing this, Nancy, who was still in a daze, had already discovered that Celia had walked hundreds of meters away.

In a panic, he staggered with his weak legs and caught up with Celia in the haze of the heavy rain.
