It's outrageous, how could I..."

For some reason, he tried to justify himself.

"You should have noticed it yourself."

The doctor interrupted him and said: "At the moment Itakua was about to kill you, even I, who was far away, could clearly perceive the power that emerged from you. It was a mysterious power from the deep sea. Exactly the same power I felt on the statue worshiped by the followers of Cthulhu, can't be wrong."

"The existence of the great Cthulhu is recorded in many grimoires, but most of them are vague and briefly mentioned, as if if there is more description, it will have a terrifying impact on the author.

The most detailed record among them, as far as I know, is the "Lalaye Text", which is rumored to describe the figure of the great Cthulhu who cannot be seen directly, and the location of the city of Lalye, but "Lalaye The Yeben is kept by the sects and deep divers who believe in Cthulhu, and cannot be consulted. "

"The great Cthulhu is one of the few old gods who have not been sealed in the river Styx. Together with his own city of R'lyeh, he sleeps in a deep sea in the blue star, but even if he is sealed, there is still sea water blocking him. His power, but sometimes the mental fluctuations during his sleep can still be heard.

Some gifted or extremely spiritually sensitive people will occasionally capture this fluctuation, and thus enter his dream, see 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 completely losing their minds, or twisting them into terrifying and hideous monsters. "

"Since Cthulhu is so powerful, if I have his blood, I should be even more powerful. How can I be as weak as I am now?"

Xia Ren was still not reconciled, he began to doubt himself several times, but he still had to pretend to resist.

The reason why the Foundation is being kind to itself is that it is still on the side of humanity for now.

But once he admits that he has such a close relationship with the old gods, his position will immediately fall to the abyss, and the Foundation will become his enemy in a blink of an eye. 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, the more intense the better, the more real the better, even if it is pretending, it must be the most like it.

Even he already knew that the doctor saw that he was faking, but he still wanted to pretend.

Both of them are very clear that this is a matter of attitude. If Xia Ren doesn't care about the fact that he has the blood of the old god, or even accepts it frankly, then although his position cannot be said to be directly on the other side of the abyss, at least he can Sure, he's still neutral.

Neutral means that he may join one side at any time, whether it is the human side or the opposite of human beings.

And a person with a strong growth potential and an uncertain position is a ticking time bomb. Even if there is only a [-]% chance that Xia Ren will join the ranks of the abyss, the doctor cannot tolerate it.

Before losing his memory, Xia Ren possessed tyrannical power, and the doctor was afraid, 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 this opportunity to test his attitude and force him to make a choice, even this was the main reason why the doctor brought Xia Ren in front of him.

Xia Ren had to pretend, denying that he might never be able to get out of this room.

Pretend or die.

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

It is clear at a glance which one to choose between the two options.

Xia Ren's heart was beating wildly, but on the surface he still maintained an expression of unwillingness, shock, surprise, self-deprecation, and fear. Like the color palette, it is really difficult to make such a complicated expression.

Just when he couldn't hold on anymore, the doctor finally spoke:

"You feel yourself, weak?"

"Yeah, it's simply too weak."

Xia Ren recalled that during his journey to the headquarters, none of the enemies he encountered could be defeated.

The doctor didn't know what he thought of, and there was a curved arc at the corner of his mouth, as if he was smiling.

"A person who can kill a baby ghoul, bring Shoggoth with him, enter the dreamland alone, read and understand "The Underground Digger" completely, fight with the Son of the Wind, and face the old god Ithaqua without going crazy... ...to say that he is weak?

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

"Really are……"

The doctor shook his head lightly and laughed dumbly.

Seeing his reaction, 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 behind his head.

But after hearing what the doctor said, Xia Ren thought about it for a while, and it seemed that he...was 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, almost no one can do it.

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

"still have a question."

Xia Ren asked: "Who is the faceless apostle of the abyss? What is his relationship with me before? Where is he?"

"You have more than one question."

The doctor opened his empty eyes again, and said: "Abyss Apostle 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 a little regretful.

Both his and Zhao Mingyue's masks were made by the Faceless Man, and it was speculated that the time was just before Zhao Mingyue disappeared, so if he found the Faceless Man, he might be able to know what happened between himself and Zhao Mingyue back then.

But even the doctor has never heard of the other party, and seeing the hope of finding the other party, it is very slim for the time being.

"There must be so many of your main questions, and the rest are side issues, so don't ask me."

Xia Ren nodded, the other party was right.

"Your magic power is exhausted, and you won't be able to recover it 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 Great Library of Seraino. I will also find a way to cover it up for you, so as to prevent you from being hunted down by the Brotherhood of Beasts again."

Xia Ren thought to himself that this should be the compensation for his statement just now.

As soon as he finished speaking, the familiar feeling of weightlessness hit, and the air in front of him shone brilliantly. A few seconds later, he returned to the empty eighteenth floor.

"Yo, it's coming out so soon."

Dr. Liao was waiting by the side. Seeing Xia Ren reappeared, he subconsciously reached out to pat his butt.

Chapter 378 Legendary Investigator

Xia Ren stared blankly ahead, still sorting out what the doctor said just now in his mind, but raised his arm unconsciously, blocking Dr. Liao's movements.

Dr. Liao was stunned for a moment, Xia Ren finally stopped thinking and looked back at him: "How long have I been in?"

"Four 10 minutes."

Dr. Liao withdrew his hand and replied.

He looked at the other person with some doubts. Compared with before meeting the doctor, he always felt that Xia Ren had some inexplicable changes in his temperament now.
