The three of them sat down, and Su Ge asked calmly, "What about the statue?"

Duke beckoned to the bodyguard, who walked to a nearby room and in less than a minute brought over a statue the size of a fist.

The statue seemed to be carved from ancient bluestone, and its entire body was a cloudy green, and the dust and dirt on it had been wiped clean, even the crevices were spotless, enough to show that Duke liked the statue.

The statue looks like a monster with a large octopus head that resembles a human body, as well as a pair of bat wings.

The technique of the statue does not look clever, and the overall line depiction of the statue is very rough and simple, as if it has just been polished.

But the moment this statue made Suge look like it, he felt an indescribable terrifying and mysterious aura, and it made people feel an uncontrollable fear.

The vague and rough tentacles on the octopus's head spread out in all directions, with an indescribable twist and ugliness.

The deformed shape of the octopus's head behind the tentacles is even more like a shape that does not belong to this world, and people faintly feel the deformity of the water flowing under the skin and flesh that is constantly wriggling and flowing, like pus, like a herpes, like a pus wound.

"Hiss!"

Su Ge suddenly came back to his senses, gasped, and his face was a little not good.

Shiryl looked down at her nails with disdain at Suge at this time.

Suge didn't dare to continue to look at the deformed head with his eyes,

His vision was now 55 points, which was a relatively high number among humans, and he was afraid that his vision would allow him to see things that he shouldn't see.

The eyes fall on the body of the statue.

Compared to the hideous head, the statue's body has an eerie peace, as if meditating, with its legs crossed and its hands resting on its lower abdomen in a vague gesture that Suge could not understand.

The wings on his back were attached to his sides, protecting him in the middle like eggshells, as if protecting his body.

Looking back at the statue, Duke said seriously: "You should also be able to feel the difference of this statue, right? According to my estimates, this statue is at least 3,000 years old, although the handiwork is relatively rough, but it looks like a god statue placed on the bow of a ship when some island country goes to sea, which has great research value and historical significance." ”

Su Ge's face was calm, and he asked with some solemnity in his tone, "Mr. Stephen, your butler, has you ever been in contact with this statue for a long time?"

Duke heard Su Ge's tone, his face was a little solemn, and then after thinking about it seriously, he nodded and said: "This statue has been kept by him before, and the thief has already obtained the statue yesterday, and then he snatched it back, it seems to be ...... When he went out in the rain, he was still holding the statue. ”

Hearing this, Su Ge said directly: "Then there is nothing wrong with it, this statue is not unexpected, it should be an artifact used by a certain cult, and it may even be a statue of an evil god." ”

"Statue of the Evil God!?" Hearing this, Duke's face turned very pale.

Su Ge pointed to the vague marks on it and said, "From this trace, it can be seen that the craftsman who carved this statue is a very skilled craftsman, he should have made this statue lifelike, but why did this statue become like this?"

Duke shook his head, indicating that he didn't know.

Suge said seriously, "Because the gods cannot be looked at directly. ”

Hearing this, Duke suddenly remembered this ancient law, that mortals cannot look directly at the gods.

Suge looked at the statue and said, "That craftsman must also be a cultist, he longs for others to see his master, but if the carving is too realistic, everyone who sees it will go crazy, and this statue will not be allowed by the will of the world." ”

That's why he deliberately carved the statue like this. ”

After listening to Su Ge's words, Duke carefully looked at the subtle nicks, his face suddenly turned even paler, and his voice trembled a little and asked, "Mr. Black Mist, what about it...... So what am I going to do now? I don't think I'm going to be targeted by the evil gods!?"

If someone else told him this, he would most likely think that guy was a liar who wanted this statue.

But now it was different, he knew very well what a sane and determined man his steward was, and it was incredible that such a wise man suddenly went mad.

Coupled with the crazy posture and resentful eyes of the person who pestered him before, it suddenly made him even more afraid.

Suge touched his chin and looked at the statue, which he clearly recognized as a statue of Cthulhu.

He was not thinking about the authenticity of the statue at this time, but why it appeared in Duke's hands.

When Duke was in a state of panic, Suge suddenly asked, "How did you bring this statue in?" I remember that on a cruise ship of this level, there should be strict controls on the belongings of guests, right? ”

Duke came back to his senses and said, "This thing is more precious, and I carried it with me at the time. Moreover, our family has a very good reputation, so we can take a special channel, and the inspection is relatively relaxed. ”

Su Ge suddenly thought of a possibility, and continued to ask, "Then when was this statue brought by you?"

"It was the day before we got on the ship, and we were going to leave Ocean City the next day, but we encountered that kind of thing, so we changed our course temporarily. Duke said.

Suge had already roughly understood something about the situation and fell into deep thought.

This suddenly made Duke even more uneasy: "Mr. Black Mist, did you think of something?"

Su Ge came back to his senses and nodded slightly, and said, "According to my experience, you have been targeted by the cult and become an accomplice to help them transport their goods. Even this statue was carefully designed by them for you to bring on the ship, after all, they are not capable of bringing this thing up. ”

Hearing this, Duke's face was very ugly, and he thought of the down-and-out old sailor, who really did not look like a destitute sailor in terms of speech and demeanor.

"Damn, I was careless. Duke said with a very ugly face.

Suge leaned against the couch hill and didn't speak, giving Duke plenty of time to think.

After more than ten seconds of silence, Duke asked in a low voice, "Can you find out which cult is using me?"

Suge replied calmly: "This requires an additional fee. ”

"The cost is not a problem, as long as you can guarantee my personal safety, so that I will not be entangled by the evil gods and persecuted by the cult, and after arriving safely in the family, you will receive the purest friendship of my Duke Hausman. Although Duke was a little flustered at this time, his tone was quite calm, his words were clear, his eyes were attentive and solemn, giving people a very trustworthy look.

Hearing this, Su Ge nodded and said: "I like refreshing people, I won't guarantee the price for the specific amount of money, I believe you can give me a satisfactory price." ”

Duke said, "That's for sure. ”

Suge nodded, then looked at Duke and asked, "Mr. Hausman, do you trust me?"

Duke was silent for a few seconds, and then said truthfully, "Not very trusting." ”

"I appreciate your candor for that. Because honesty is the first step in cooperation. Suge said with approval on his face.

Duke squeezed out a smile: "Our family started by relying on integrity, and honesty is our family's criterion." ”

Suge continued: "You should be able to feel something, I'm not an ordinary psychiatrist, and I have a certain relationship with the captain of this ship. ”

Duke recalled Suge's attitude towards the haughty vice-captain, and nodded affirmatively, "Yes, I can feel it." If my estimate is correct, you should be a mystic. ”

The two bodyguards were taken aback when they heard this, watching Su Ge's demeanor gradually tense, his hand slowly stretched out to his waist, and carefully held the weapon placed there.

Syllable!

Su Ge snapped his fingers, nodded slightly, and said, "Your feelings are not wrong. Since you can recognize us by our characteristics, you should have heard of our reputation, and if you can crisscross so many ancient tombs and still be alive, and not tainted with any vicious curses and troubles, we husband and wife naturally have strong enough means of self-preservation. ”

Duke said earnestly, "You are very honest and bold, you are the first person I have ever dared to admit so openly that you are a mystery. ”

Su Ge smiled casually and said: "Mystics are not cultists, although the church has been restricting the contact between mysteries and ordinary people, but in fact, there is not much difference between mysteries and ordinary people, a gun through the head, will also die." ”

Hearing this, Duke showed a relatively relaxed smile on his face, and asked tentatively, "What plans do you need my help with now?"

Suge nodded, and said bluntly, "Captain Malcock is an honest soldier, and he knows that there are cultists on this ship, so he invited me to help him find out all these cultists. And coincidentally......"

Su Ge said, looking at Duke with interest: "This thing in your hand is the statue of the evil god that those cultists believe in. ”

Hearing this, Duke suddenly felt a chill appear from his soul and instantly spread to his whole body.

"This ...... What are they trying to do?" Duke was very smart, and he had already vaguely sensed the gravity of this matter.

Suge said: "I don't think you want to know, you just know that the statue in your hand has become his target." ”

"Then I'll give you this statue now!" He cherished his life more than money.

Su Ge looked down at the statue in front of him and shook his head: "I don't have any interest or need for this statue, because I need you to continue to hold this statue with your own hands, and then give it to someone who needs it at a critical moment." ”
