Apostle of Cthulhu

"It seems that none of you are willing to help Egbert Bader clear his name, so let's move on to the last step as soon as possible. Let today's farce end early, and we can get off work early." Sutton called again. He yawned, it seemed like he didn't sleep very well last night.

After...get off work?

Everyone looked at each other and expressed surprise at Sutton's inappropriate choice of words.

This guy must have taken the wrong medicine today. Why is he talking about everything?

"The last link is the voting link. Everyone has the opportunity to give up voting, but please think carefully before voting or choosing to give up voting. After all... this is related to the future of the Salem Empire."

Sutton put down the inscription paper in his hand and said: "And before the voting begins, we will let Egbert Bader make a statement in front of everyone. This is his last chance to get the vote, but you also Be careful to discern the authenticity of his words, and don’t believe every word he says.”

No one responded, which was the best response.

"Well, let's ask the guard responsible for guarding Mr. Egbert Bader to welcome him in. After all, he is still the current King and should be given due respect."

The two guards outside the door of the trial hall heard this and quickly opened the door.

Outside the door, three heavily armed guards stood, flanking Egbert, whose head was covered, and sent him into the trial hall. They seemed to be very worried about Egbert's escape.

Egbert's current position is on the floor of the trial hall, looking at the other people sitting in the seats at an angle that must keep their heads upward.

He also said that he should show due respect to the king. Looking at this attitude of the Privy Council, in fact, he did not take Egbert seriously at all.

Including today, they all think that everyone is on their side. God knows there are two guys from the Inquisition Court and the Divine Inquisition Court who come out to cause trouble!

Egbert, who was wearing a flaxen hood, was roughly pressed on the wooden chair in the center of the trial hall like a prisoner.

To tell a joke, the three guards who had been staying outside the trial hall thought that the final outcome would be Egbert's defeat, so they didn't take Egbert seriously at all.

But now, people from major institutions are terrified when they see the behavior of these three idiots.

After all, the ending is now unclear.

"Please remove his hood and let Mr. Egbert Bader make the final statement." Sutton just sat down, as if he didn't care about the outcome.

Hearing this, one of the guards quickly nodded his head, then untied the loose rope around Egbert's neck and lifted his hood.

The midday sun shone on Egbert's face, but there was no trace of haggardness.

At least no one can see it.

Wait a minute...is there something wrong?

Except for Mr. S and Qiao, everyone felt that something was not quite right...

Egbert Bader...does he really look like this?

At this moment, a person screamed because he recognized who this person was!

"He is not Egbert Bader! He is the wanted Siwei!!!"

The whole place was in an uproar! Si Wei, who was pushed in by the guards and treated roughly, raised his head, and his eyes fell on Mr. S and Qiao directly in front of him.

The three of them looked at each other and smiled, as if they had anticipated this outcome.

"Si Wei!" Oweijiu was the first to jump up from his seat, pointed at the back of Si Wei's head, and roared, "What do you want to do? You are wanted by the entire Salem Empire, and you have no right to step in now." Enter this sacred place!”

Si Wei slowly turned his head and said: "Really? But I think you want to replace Egbert. In this case, as a person wanted by Egbert using his personal rights, Am I really wanted?"

Another decision-maker, whose IQ was still online, immediately pointed out the error in Si Wei's words, "But Egbert Bader is still in power now, so your wanted status is still valid! Si Wei, now our Privy Council will Arrest you here!"

"Really? Egbert's power is still online, right?" Si Wei yawned, "Then ask, am I still wanted?"

Owejiu immediately turned his attention to the police department responsible for this matter, and the latter's representative shrugged and said helplessly: "About this matter...A week ago, Mr. Egbert Bader All the arrest warrants he has issued so far have been withdrawn... that is to say... including the arrest warrants for Mr. Si Wei, Miss Kitty Brandt, Norris Anderson, and even the entire CTHULHU expedition team. ...It’s all invalidated.”

"Did you hear that? Norris Anderson." Sutton sat in his seat and suddenly spoke without any warning, "You are no longer a wanted person and can reveal your true identity."

After a moment of calm, almost everyone in the room turned their attention to Mr. S.

Then, in front of everyone, his face changed from the look that looked familiar to everyone at the beginning but could not be recognized by anyone, to... the Norris Anderson that everyone knew.

"First meeting, hello everyone, my name is Norris Anderson, I am an ordinary tomb robber."

The entire trial hall fell into a deathly silence.

Two former wanted criminals swaggered into the courtroom.

They even pretended to be someone else and staged such a dramatic performance under the gaze of everyone, attending the final judgment on behalf of Egbert Budd!

"It's my turn to speak, right?" Si Wei pointed at himself and asked, "Can I speak normally?"

Sutton made a gesture of invitation. Although he hated Si Wei, since he was Norris's friend, Sutton would respect him.

Si Wei stretched his body first, and then said, "I don't care about the charges, but if you want to control the entire Salem Empire with a puppet king, it will make some people unhappy, so... I will stop these situations from happening. Of course, I look forward to your voting results."

As soon as the voice fell, except for those who had a close relationship with Si Wei, all the others had some kind of weapon on their necks that could kill them instantly!

Some monsters lurking in the shadows appeared at this moment when Si Wei took the stage.

"These are the monsters born from Egbert's life science project. I present them just to tell you what Egbert did. But overall... I don't want to manipulate the vote."

Don't want to manipulate the vote? What a joke! The knife is already on our necks!

"Then, please vote, everyone." Si Wei leaned back in his chair, crossed his legs, put his fingertips together, made a pyramid gesture, and placed it on his knees.

"Regarding the final ruling, your vote will determine the direction of the entire Salem Empire."
