"Ah......h

Xia Ren was stunned on the spot.

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

"You say I have the ...... of the old gods flowing through me Blood?

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

For some reason, he tried desperately to defend himself.

"You should be aware of it yourself."

The Doctor interrupted him and said, "At the moment when Itacua was about to kill you, the power that surged out of you could be clearly perceived even by me in the distance, it was a mysterious power from the deep sea, exactly the same power I felt on the statue worshipped by the Cthulhu cultists, and there could be no mistake. ”

"The existence of the great Cthulhu is recorded in many of the Grimographies, but most of them are ominous, as if a little more description would have a terrifying effect on the author.

The most detailed of these, as far as I know, is the Lallaye Text, which is rumored to depict the inadmissible figure of the great Cthulhu and the location of the city of L'Lallah, but the Lallaye Text is kept by the Xenos and divers who believe in Cthulhu and cannot be consulted. ”

"The Great Cthulhu is one of the few old gods who has not been sealed in the River Styx, and he sleeps in a deep sea of the Blue Star with his own city of Lalleye, but even if he is sealed, and the sea blocks his power, his mental fluctuations while sleeping can sometimes be heard.

Gifted or extremely sensitive, some people occasionally catch this wave and enter into his dreams to see the true face of the great Cthulhu and his magnificent city hidden in the depths of the sea, but the price of seeing these scenes is usually complete loss of mind or twisting into terrifying monsters. ”

"Since Cthulhu is so powerful, if I have his bloodline, it should be even more powerful, how can it be so weak as it is now?"

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

The Foundation's goodwill to itself is due to the fact that he is still on the side of humanity for the time being.

But once he admits that he has such a close relationship with the old gods, then his position will immediately fall to the side of the abyss, and the Foundation will become his enemy in the blink of an eye, and it is foreseeable that even if he is not killed on the spot by the doctor, the best outcome will be 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 it is pretended, it must be pretended to be the most like.

Even though he already knew that the Doctor could see that he was pretending, he still had to pretend.

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 bloodline of the old gods, and even accepted it calmly, then although his position could not be said to fall directly to the side of the abyss, it was at least certain that he was still neutral.

Being neutral means that he can join one side at any time, whether on the side of humanity or on the opposite side of humanity.

And a character with strong growth and uncertain position is a time bomb, even if there is only a one percent possibility, Xia Ren joined the ranks of the abyss, which is intolerable to the doctor.

Xia Ren, who didn't lose his memory before, had a strong power, and the doctor was jealous, so he couldn't do anything to him.

But now Xia Ren has long lost his previous strength, he may be strong in the future, but he is really weak now.

The doctor just wants to take advantage of the present to test his attitude and force him to make a choice, and even this is the main reason why the doctor wants to bring Xia Ren in front of him.

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

If you don't pretend, you'll die.

Pretended, 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 does he not have to die, but he will even make a small profit.

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

Xia Ren's heart was beating wildly, but on the surface, he still had to maintain an expression with a little unwillingness, a little shock, a little surprise, a little self-deprecation, and a little fear, even if he usually performed again, it was a bit difficult to make such a complex expression like a palette on his face.

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

"You feel weak?"

"yes, it's just too weak."

Xia Ren recalled that all the way he came to the headquarters, none of the enemies he encountered could fight.

The doctor didn't know what to think, and the corners of his mouth leaked a trace of curvature, as if he was laughing.

"Someone who can kill ghoul cubs, take Shogux with them, go into a dreamland alone, read and understand The Underground Borkers in its entirety, fight the Children of the Wind, and confront the Old God Itakua without going crazy...... Actually said that he was weak?

Did you know that even our S-Class investigators may not be able to do what you did? ”

"It's really ......"

The doctor shook his head slightly, and smiled dumbly.

Seeing his reaction, a boulder pressed in Xia Ren's heart finally landed.

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

But hearing what the doctor said, Xia Ren thought about it for a while, and he seemed to ...... It's a little bit powerful.

If you think about it carefully, what he thought before that he couldn't defeat actually meant that he couldn't defeat an old god-level enemy like Itakua.

If nothing else, almost no one can do that just because they can naturally regard the Old Gods as their opponents.

This is tantamount to subconsciously putting himself in the same position as the old gods, and as a small human being, this thought is inevitably a little too inflated.

"There's one more question."

Xia Ren asked, "Who is the Abyss Apostle Faceless?" What does he have to do with me before me? Where is he? ”

"You've got more than one problem."

The doctor reopened his empty eyes and said, "Abyss Apostle Faceless, I have never heard of the existence of this person, as for what he has to do with you before, you need to find out for yourself, and I have no way of knowing where the Faceless One is. ”

Xia Ren lowered his head, slightly regretful.

The masks of himself and Zhao Mingyue were made by the Faceless One, and it is speculated that the time was before Zhao Mingyue disappeared, so if you find the Faceless One, you may be able to know what happened between yourself and Zhao Mingyue in the first place.

But even the doctor had never heard of each other, and the hope of finding each other was very slim for the time being.

"That's all for your main questions, and the rest are trivial, so you don't need to ask me."

Xia Ren nodded, the other party was right.

"Your magic power is exhausted, you can't recover it for at least half a month, and your strength is only slightly stronger than ordinary people, let's go and recuperate for two days first, and then I will let you enter the Serraino Great Library, and I will also find a way to help you cover up the breath of the old gods on your body, so as to prevent you from being hunted down by the Brotherhood of Beasts again."

Xia Ren thought to himself that this should be compensation for what he had just said.

As soon as he finished speaking, the familiar feeling of weightlessness hit, and the air in front of him emitted a brilliant light, and 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, and when he saw Xia Ren reappear, he subconsciously reached out and wanted to pat his buttocks.
