Pollution throughout the territory

"Ah this..."

Xia Ren was stunned on the spot.

The information contained in this sentence really had a big impact on him.

“You said that I have the blood of the old gods flowing through me?

It’s simply outrageous, how could I…”

For some reason, he tried so hard to defend himself.

"You should have noticed it yourself."

The doctor interrupted him and said: "The moment Itakua was about to kill you, the power that emerged from your body could be clearly detected even by me from a distance. It was the mysterious power from the deep sea. There is no mistaking the same power I feel in the statues worshiped by Cthulhu followers."

“The existence of the great Cthulhu is recorded in many grimoires, but most of them are unclear in words and are passed over in one brush stroke, as if just a little more description would have a terrifying impact on the author.

Among them, the most detailed record, as far as I know, is the "R'lyeh Text", which is rumored to describe the invisible figure of the great Cthulhu and the location of the city of R'lyeh, but "R'lyeh Text" The Jeremiah Text is kept by the heretics and deep divers who believe in Cthulhu and cannot be consulted. "

"The Great Cthulhu is one of the few old gods that has not been sealed in the River Styx. He and his city of R'lyeh sleep in a certain deep sea on Blue Star, but even if it is sealed, there is still sea water to block it. His power, but the mental fluctuations during his sleep are sometimes heard.

Some people who are talented or extremely mentally sensitive will occasionally catch this fluctuation and enter his dreams, seeing the true face of the great Cthulhu and his magnificent city hidden in the deep sea. , but the price of seeing these scenes is usually to completely lose one's mind, or to be twisted into a terrifying and ferocious monster. "

"Since Cthulhu is so powerful, if I had his bloodline, I should be even more powerful. How can I be so weak now?"

Xia Ren was still unwilling and began to doubt himself several times, but he still had to pretend to resist.

The reason why the Foundation maintains goodwill towards itself is that it is still on the side of humanity.

But once he admits that he has such a close relationship with the old gods, his position will immediately shift to the abyss, and the Foundation will become his enemy in an instant. It is foreseeable that even if he is not killed by the doctor on the spot , the best result is to be imprisoned here for a long time.

So he wants to deny it, the more intense the better, the more real the better, even if he is pretending, he must pretend to be the most like him.

Even he knew that the doctor could tell that he was faking it, but he still had to keep faking it.

Both of them knew very well that this was a matter of attitude. If Xia Ren didn't care about the fact that he had the blood of the old gods, or even accepted it calmly, then although his position could not be said to have directly shifted to the abyss, it could at least be said that To be sure, he is still neutral.

Being neutral means that he may join one of the sides at any time, whether it is the side of humanity or the opposite side of humanity.

And a character with a strong growth potential and an uncertain position is a time bomb. Even if there is only a 10% chance that Xia Ren will join the ranks of the Abyss, the doctor cannot tolerate it.

Before losing his memory, Xia Ren had tyrannical power, which the doctor was afraid of, so he couldn't do anything to him.

But today's Xia Ren has long lost his previous strength. He may be strong in the future, but he is indeed weak now.

The doctor wanted to take advantage of this moment to test his attitude and force him to make a choice. This was even the main reason why the doctor wanted to bring Xia Ren to him.

Xia Ren had to pretend and deny that he might never get out of this room.

Pretend or die.

Just pretend, since the doctor values ​​himself so much, he must make corresponding compensation after using such a strong method to force himself to express his position. Then not only will he not die, but he will even make a small profit.

Between the two options, it’s clear which one to choose.

Xia Ren's heart was beating wildly, but he still had to maintain an expression that was a bit unwilling, a bit shocked, a bit surprised, a bit self-deprecating, and a bit scared. Even if he could perform again, he would still have to treat his face as a tune. Like the color palette, it is really difficult to make such a complicated expression.

Just when he could no longer hold on, the doctor finally spoke:

"You feel like you're weak?"

"Yeah, it's simply too weak."

Xia Ren recalled that all the way to the headquarters, he encountered no enemy that he could defeat.

The doctor didn't know what he thought of, but there was a curve in the corner of his mouth, as if he was smiling.

“A person who can kill a ghoul cub, take a shoggoth with him, enter a dreamland alone, read and understand the complete "Digger", fight the wind child, face the old god Itaqua without going crazy... ...You actually said you were weak?

Do you know that even our S-class investigators may not be able to do what you have done? "

"Really are……"

The doctor shook his head slightly and laughed.

Seeing his reaction, a huge stone weighing on Xia Ren's heart finally fell to the ground.

If the other party continued to press, he would have no way to explain the tentacle on the back of his head.

But after hearing what the doctor said, Xia Ren thought for a moment and realized that he seemed... indeed a little bit powerful.

Thinking about it carefully, what he thought he couldn't beat before actually meant that he couldn't beat an old god-level enemy like Itakua.

Not to mention other things, just being able to naturally regard the old gods as their opponents is something that almost no one can do.

This is equivalent to subconsciously placing himself in the same position as the old gods. As a small human being, this idea is a bit too exaggerated.

"still have a question."

Xia Ren asked: "Who is the Apostle Faceless Man of the Abyss? What is his relationship with me before? Where is he?"

"You have more than one problem."

The doctor reopened his empty eyes and said: "The Apostle of the Abyss, the Faceless Man, I have never heard of the existence of this person. As for his relationship with you before, you need to find the answer yourself. Where is the Faceless Man?" I have no way of knowing.”

Xia Ren lowered his head, feeling slightly regretful.

The masks of himself and Zhao Mingyue were both made by the Faceless Man, and it was speculated that the time was before Zhao Mingyue disappeared, so if the Faceless Man was found, he might be able to find out what happened between him and Zhao Mingyue.

But even the Doctor has never heard of the other party, and the hope of finding the other party is slim for the time being.

"That's probably all your main questions. The rest are all side issues, so you don't need to ask me."

Xia Ren nodded, the other party was right.

"Your magic power has been exhausted and will not be restored for at least half a month. Your strength is only slightly stronger than ordinary people. Go and recuperate for two days. After that, I will let you enter the Serrano Great Library. The old god in you will I will also find a way to help you cover up your aura to prevent you from being hunted by the Beast Brotherhood again."

Xia Ren thought that this should be compensation for his just statement.

As soon as he finished speaking, the familiar feeling of weightlessness came over him, and the air in front of him emitted a brilliant light. A few seconds later, he returned to the empty eighteenth floor.

"Hey, it came out so quickly."

Dr. Liao was waiting nearby. Seeing Xia Ren reappear, he subconsciously reached out to pat his butt.

The screen of my previous mobile phone was scrapped. I replaced it with a new one and all the reward records were gone. QAQ
