Apostle of Cthulhu

"Do you really want to know the meaning of this string of codes?" Heslett suddenly said, and Norris, who was sitting aside looking at his pocket watch boredly, raised his head.

"Why not? Does this string of codes symbolize some kind of curse?"

Regarding his statement, Heslett just smiled and said, "If your understanding like this can make you give up your involvement in this matter, that would be great. But I know that you are not this kind of person."

Norris nodded, responding to his statement.

"The person who wrote the code won't let me tell you the truth, but he can reveal some unknown information to you. Are you prepared?"

Norris questioned, "With only seven symbols, you can confirm so many meanings? Are you lying to me?"

"This is the art of codes. When the world complicates codes in order to hide their meanings, we extremely simplify the meaning of each symbol, causing each code to have different meanings when paired with different codes."

"This is really troublesome," Norris sneered at this, but did not deny the necessity of its existence. "Each decryption requires a lot of time and energy. It is really killing the goose that lays the egg."

Heslett shook his head and sighed secretly, thinking that these young people had really lost their patience, and said: "In short, you have to listen carefully to every word I say to you now. These are even related to whether you can survive or not." Come down."

The last sentence did not shake Norris. Instead, a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth, "I hope someone can come and kill me. I think I have lived long enough."

"Really, how long have you, a young man, lived? There are still too many unknowns in this world waiting for you to explore. Don't say this easily." Heslett corrected Norris's attitude, He continued, "The first point...at a certain time, Accra will usher in a ship full of 'knowledge'."

Norris raised his eyebrows, "Ship? Do I need to board the ship?"

"This is my second point." Heslett added, "That ship can only carry three people. When the fourth person comes on board, the son of disaster will rise. The Unknown will be furious, and for The foolish and filthy human beings send down the divine punishment of cleansing.”

As soon as these words came out, the ship was basically locked and only Si Wei, Norris and Qiao boarded it. The other party's purpose was clear from the beginning, to bring the three of them together and then solve this incident together.

"Second point, the leader of the Deep Sea is resurrecting, and the followers of the Deep Sea in the Pantheon are gathering there. You must pay attention, this matter is only related to you."

Hearing this, Norris immediately remembered Bros who had approached him not long ago.

I am really busy with my business, and I don’t even have a chance to take a breath. Incidents are coming one after another, and this time it’s the Pantheon Cult again...

Haha, that's really interesting.

"I understand what you mean, I will treat this matter with caution." Norris nodded, stood up, took back the note, and put it back in his pocket, "In addition, Mr. Heslett, the most important thing now is The right place for you is still the Royal Library, are you sure you won’t go back? Someone is still waiting for you.”

"It's not necessary," Heslett waved his hand, "I am no longer a member of the expedition team. If I return to the Royal Library, wouldn't I be asking for trouble?"

Although he said that, Norris still captured the panic and fear in Heslett's eyes at that moment.

He dared not appear in public.

This has always been a mystery, and even Norris has not investigated it clearly.

The once glorious expedition team now has some committing suicide, some hiding their names, and some disappearing from the world.

It seems that those who have a deep relationship with R'lyeh culture will not end well.

It's almost like... a curse.

Norris is naturally not afraid of things like curses. His personality is very similar to Si Wei. He never has a fear of the unknown, but is in awe and will never stop exploring.

This is why he sticks to his heart as a missionary.

Si Wei didn't know much about the missionaries. He was very rational, so the side effects of the missionaries were completely nonexistent to him. But for ordinary people, it's completely different.

They will experience inhuman pain every day, and the power of the gift wraps around them like a disease, causing them to have strong negative emotions at all times. People who cannot stick to their true hearts will eventually become degenerates and turn into a A monster with a SAN value of zero.

Joe and Norris are undoubtedly examples of sticking to their true intentions. The side effects of the power of gift are already very small for them now, but if they really want to enter the next stage of the power of gift... what will happen? They don't know the situation either.

After a few words of greeting with Heslett, Norris left this remote and lonely seaside house. Yorktown is not far from here, and it won't take Norris long to reach the basement just now.

But before that, he felt that he should have something to do.

——

"What's wrong? I think you don't look good?" Jia, who was sitting in the coffee shop, took her eyes off the lines and looked at Si Wei, who was sitting on the sofa opposite her, and asked, "What happened to you?" Is something wrong?”

Si Wei shrugged, "We have gained something, but the news is not good news. Don't wander around Yorktown or Accra alone these days, be careful of something happening."

"Is there another fallen person escaping?" Jiya's words hit the nail on the head, "I remind you that you have wasted three rounds of whale bone bullets. There are only six bullets in one bullet chamber, and now there are only three rounds. You Save yourself some money.”

Si Wei responded and then asked, "By the way, are these whalebone bullets still for sale? Let me see if I can add something."

Hearing this, Jia put the newspaper in her hands on her knees and looked at Si Wei with speechless eyes, "Professor, didn't you listen to us before? Whalebone bombs are expensive to make, and sometimes the supply exceeds demand. Do you want to buy a few casually? Do you think these things were picked up from the ground?"

"Really... forget it then." Si Wei scratched his head, "Is this whale bone bullet really made of whale bones?"

Jiya gradually became accustomed to Si Wei's questions and subconsciously answered: "Whales are very mysterious creatures, and their voices are often regarded as the chants of the 'unknowns'. Their bones are also the best in making guardian objects." Materials, whale oil can also provide very abundant energy.

"Accra is now the second largest producer of whale oil in the world, and can provide a large amount of whale oil every year. Whale hunting teams are also a popular profession, but these people are also often charged with 'blaspheming the unknown'. I do not recommend it. You will join the whale hunting team to make money."

"I wouldn't do such a thing," Si Wei knew very well that hunting at this level would sooner or later lead to species extinction, but this was beyond his jurisdiction.

After all, he is just a little professor.
