Apostle of Cthulhu

Bell returned to the police station. After killing Gondrick, he needed some time to calm down. After all, the amount of information Gondrick brought to him was too great, and he had to calm down and think carefully to clarify all the key points in it.

"Hey! Bell, I've got you back!" Inside the police station, a police officer who usually works with Bell appeared from the side and patted Bell on the shoulder, "Can you do me a favor? "

Bell hesitated for a moment and chose to ask first, "What is it?"

"There is a case. I hope you can help me go through the procedures." The police officer sighed, "The director was furious in the briefing room today, saying that we were not efficient and deliberately shelved the case... He should You know we are very busy during this time, right?"

They say they are extremely busy, but in Bell's opinion, they spend most of their time wandering aimlessly on the street, thinking they are very busy, but in fact they are not efficient at all, just like a student.

Bell interrupted the police officer in time, "Okay, just talk to me about the business. It's getting late, and I want to finish my work and go back to rest."

The police officer nodded and handed a file bag to Bell, "This case is very simple. All the clues indicate that it is a suicide case. It just needs to be done once. I hope you can help me take a look."

After taking the file bag, Bell untied the rope wrapped around it and pulled out the documents inside.

Name of deceased: Hall Robes.

The sun has disappeared.

Instead, the moon exudes its own borrowed brilliance, blooming with a beauty that does not belong to it.

Stars surround it, it is false, and I don’t know whether it knows it or not.

Arnold glanced at the address on the provocation book one last time, and then looked up at the factory in front of him.

This factory has been ordered to stop production since the city of Manburg was closed down, but it seems that it still secretly hires child laborers at night to help with production, which is not too blatant.

The main reason is that the police department is too busy and has no time to take care of the affairs of these capitalists. As long as they don't go too far, the police department basically turns a blind eye.

The guards don't care about these things, or... they don't know about these things.

Tonight, there was no sound in the factory. This was very strange. Given the character of those capitalists, it was not like they would give all workers a holiday tonight.

Arnold crumpled the provocation letter into a ball and threw it on the ground. Arnold touched the hard and cold thing on his side, and then walked towards the door of the factory.

Stepping on the hard concrete floor, Arnold reached out and pushed the heavy steel facade. The strange thing is that the door is not locked, but leaves a certain gap, as if it was deliberately left for Arnold's entrance.

"It's so obvious, are you underestimating me?" Arnold has long been used to this kind of trick to invite the king into the urn. There are also some empty city strategies mixed in, but every time Arnold will deliberately walk in.

There is no other reason. Arnold has this confidence and can handle properly no matter what situation he encounters.

squeak--

When I pushed open the heavy dark iron door, I was greeted by a disgusting metallic smell. Arnold put his hands behind his back and moved his upper body forward and back, like a primary school student on an outing, "Where are you? Or... you guys?"

The words were full of ridicule and contempt, and Arnold even closed his eyes and turned in a circle as he moved forward.

The factory has three floors in total, but there is no floor in the middle between the second and third floors, so that the boss on the third floor can directly see the working status of the employees on the second and first floors.

Some debris was piled up on both sides, and the tall, out-of-work machinery was crawling on both sides like a giant guarding beast of the palace, staring at Arnold walking in the middle of the first floor with his ferocious eyes.

The provocation letter was the same as what Arnold usually received. Even the words were almost the same. It even made him suspect that these provocation letters from different gangs were all handled by the same outsourcer. Otherwise, this level of similarity would not be possible. It's really weird.

That one photo was the only thing that attracted him here. But the current factory does not give Arnold the same feeling when he saw the photos.

Maybe... there's something wrong, but I haven't noticed it yet.

Bell~

The crisp sound of a string of bells suddenly rang in the eerie environment. Arnold moved his eyes slightly and looked at the source of the sound.

There was some faint green light emitting from behind the heavy textile machine, which was definitely not normal.

Arnold took a few steps back, but it was not because he was afraid. He just found a wall that he could rely on and took out a cigarette from his pocket. "Are you going to let me invite you out?"

The factory itself does not occupy a large area. The location on the first floor from where Arnold is to the green light is only a few dozen meters away. The other party must be able to hear Arnold's words.

But it's the other person's choice whether to do it or not.

Arnold was certain that the person behind the textile machine must be a human being, and he could tell through the power of his gift. But he didn't know the reason why the other party didn't come out.

If it was because he felt that he was too strong, Arnold had restrained his anger and murderous intent. It was impossible for missionaries to judge each other's sequence nodes with the naked eye and feeling, so why did they appear so scared?

After lighting a cigarette for himself, Arnold took a deep breath. Seeing that the other party still had no intention of coming out, he chose to talk, "What are you afraid of? Since you have the courage to send me a provocative letter, why are you still hiding there?"

At this time, the voice of that person suddenly came from the shadows.

Very immature, a child.

"Because, I saw Him behind you."

Arnold's pupils suddenly expanded, and he buried his head with instinctive reaction! In the dark factory, something invisible attacked the place where Norris's head was originally!

Crack!

Only a muffled sound was heard, and the area where Arnold's head was located strangely collapsed towards a singularity, and then disappeared!

Some rubble from the missing part of the wall fell down and hit Arnold's scalp, like some kind of reminder, reminding him that he should not take it lightly.

If Arnold had reacted a little slower just now, half of his head might have been annihilated directly with the wall!

"This is a warning." The voice came out again, "If you continue to treat the next event with this playful attitude...'Unknown' will take your life personally. Arnold Griffin, you are not qualified to be a fallen person. What awaits you is either death or... eternity."

Arnold exerted force with his right hand, not realizing that he had extinguished the cigarette in his palm, "Who are you? Why did you send that photo to me?"

"I am the ninth disciple of the great Malachi Mubai Haleiya! I will convey the instructions of the 'Unknown' on behalf of Haleiya and guide the people of the chaotic world to the 'truth'!"

Just as Arnold was about to rush to the direction where the voice came from, a force that even he could not stop acted on Arnold's body, and he was directly flipped out!

"You are not qualified to witness my existence!" said the guy hiding in the dark, "When you find the entrance to the city of Haleiya, it will be the time for you to witness my true appearance!"

"Tsk, is it something related to the city of Haleiya again..." Arnold got up from the ground in a panic. There may not be many missionaries in the world who can suppress him. But if he is facing a kind of "God's messenger" who conveys the "unknown" will, then it is understandable that he suppresses himself.

However, he had no idea that there was a so-called Malachi Mubai Haleiya, and he didn't know that this guy had disciples, and he appeared directly in front of him!
