Man in the old days, Lord of the Seven Sins

Chapter 118 Cthulhu's Daughter (4k)

Old calendar April 1588, 4, rain.

The black rain covered with a lot of smoke and dust poured on the land of old London.

Authority staff began restricting movement in some areas today.

Although most of the people are not very clear about what happened, but there are also some people who are said to have inside information and spread gossip.

It is said that a group of Glaaki missionaries came from Old London, and the Authority is arresting them.

Rhodes sat on the sofa by the fireplace, looking at the "Old London Morning News" in his hand.

"John, the Acting Director of the Authority, issued a relevant announcement today. Please don't be nervous. People in the restricted access area, please stay at home and don't walk around at will. The announcement of the lifting of the restricted access will be broadcast in real time through the radio."

Rhodes put down the newspaper and took a sip of the black tea that Xiuji handed over.

The rich tea scent dissipated the haze that filled his heart.

After hearing the news of the sunken city last night, Rhodes wrote a letter overnight, and sent it to the address of his friend left by Robert through the post office this morning.

Although he didn't have much expectation for whether Robert would be able to return to old London in time, Rhodes still had to let his little grandpa know what happened recently.

Of course, judging from the current position of the deep sea in the sky that is intuitive to the naked eye, there is still some time before it reaches Old London, and Rhodes still has some preparation time.

Although there was a tall man supporting him when the sky fell, Rhodes didn't need to worry too much about the safety of Old London, but for the safety of some people around him, Rhodes also felt that he had to be fully prepared.

At least the attribute points must reach 50 points first, unlocking one of the powers of sin among the seven sins, so that he has a hole card for self-protection.

Rhodes looked at the attribute panel in sight.

[Name: Rhodes]

【Physique: 20】

【Spirit: 10】

【Perception: 2】

[Attribute point: 7]

[The Power of Sin: Unlocked (unlocked after the total attribute reaches 50)]

After the actions of the Dagon Church, his attribute points increased by another 7 points. Counting the 32 points he owns, the total attribute points have now reached 39 points. He only needs to get 11 more attribute points to unlock it. The power of sin.

And what he still needs to deal with now, there is a patient of Robert who needs to visit on the 23rd.

John has something about the "Apocalypse" and the Church of Graaki. In the morning, John also called himself, saying that he would notify himself as soon as he had news.

On the other hand, Margaret is about helping Cindy's granddaughter with treatment. During the phone call last night, she explained the latest findings to herself in detail, and she will come over tomorrow to discuss in detail with herself.

There is also something about Fat Orange's legend about the cat god. Margaret found an ancient book in the library of the Imperial College that recorded the legend of the cat god. Rhodes plans to take time to find out after the end of the sinking city .

"Great master, the information you need to know about Dagon, I just searched the temporary memory carefully and found some interesting things."

Lazily lying by the fireplace, Aesop squirmed his body and came to Rhodes.

It waved its tentacles and seemed agitated.

Rhode rubbed his chin, and took out the pink octopus head rune from his bosom. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't understand why the black mist demon, who seemed to be full of violent factors all over his body, would hand it over. Get yourself a pink rune.

Is this the so-called macho fan?
Rhodes mouth twitched, and he put the M500 on the coffee table.

Since the last communication, the black mist demon seemed to have disappeared. Of course, Rhodes knew that it definitely had its own thoughts, so it didn't come out to meet him.

Rhodes glanced at Aesop and said in a low voice, "You can tell in detail what you know about Dagon."

"Aesop will sort out some legends about Dagon for you,
Dagon, as a loyal servant of the great demon Cthulhu, once followed him to live in Raliyah, and later accompanied by the deep sleep of the great demon Cthulhu, Dagon and another servant of Cthulhu, Hydera, took Cthulhu's daughter left R'lyeh.

Later, the news about Cthulhu's daughter became vague.

After all, you know that I am just the clone of Isogda, the Lord of the Abyss, and Isogda, the Lord of the Abyss, as the heir of the Great Demon Cthulhu, is also in a deep sleep. "

"So, what do you mean, the black mist demon is very likely to be Cthulhu's daughter?"

Rhodes narrowed his eyes, and according to the logical reasoning of the information provided by Aesop, this is indeed the case.

But the problem arises, based on this theoretical basis, one thing is very outrageous.

What my own grandfather did in the beginning, and even what level his strength has reached, are all worthy of scrutiny.

After all, Dagon and Hydera who followed the daughter of Cthulhu are both at the level of great demons.

If the black mist demon is the daughter of Cthulhu, then what my grandfather did was to take out the demon core of Cthulhu's daughter after defeating the two big demons, and stuff it into the M500. middle.

Why does this kind of thing sound like a legend?

Rhodes pressed his temple.

"Yes, the great master, the true identity of the black mist demon, is very likely to be the sister of the master of the abyss."

"That is to say, for me, Aesop, that black mist demon and I also have a blood relationship."

Aesop waved his tentacles, and suddenly found that there seemed to be another backer for him.

"I'll tell you why when I first saw it, I felt a sense of intimacy, which made me subconsciously choose to surrender to you."

Aesop's shameless voice came from his consciousness, and the corner of Rhode's mouth twitched.

This tool tentacles have become more and more floating recently.

Rhodes glanced at M500, but the black mist demon didn't respond, so he decided to put the matter aside for the time being.

Prepare to wait for the possible sinking city incident to be completely dealt with before studying it carefully.

I just don't know who the great demon that exists in the deep sea above the sky will be.

"knocking"

Suddenly there was a knock on the door.

"Is anyone there? I'm Rose from the old London News."

Rhodes narrowed his eyes, why did this woman, Rose, suddenly find his home?

Rhodes opened the door, looked at Rose standing at the door, wearing a white shirt, gray overalls, and a gray newsboy hat, and asked in a low voice, "Miss Rose, what's the matter?"

Rose looked at Rhodes with charming eyes, and his attitude obviously did not welcome her.

"Mr. Rhodes, don't you want me to come in and sit down?" Rose said with a shy smile, "There is something very important that I want to tell you."

Rhodes squinted.

Get out of the way for half a body.

"Come in, is there anything worthy of you, a big reporter, coming to tell me in person?"

Inside the living room.

Rose carefully looked at the furnishings in the house, it didn't look like there was a hostess.

The smile on her face grew stronger.

Rhode looked at the woman's back suspiciously. Could it be that she discovered that he was a plague doctor?

"Sit down, what would you like to drink?"

"Give me a cup of coffee."

Beside the sofa by the fireplace, Rhodes handed a cup of coffee to Rose.

"Miss Rose, what is it that you want to tell me?"

Rhodes prefers to go straight, and he looked at Rose with a serious face.

Rose took a sip of coffee, and there was an emotion in her big eyes that you don't understand.

Rhodes shrugged, took out his pocket watch, and pointed to the time on it.

"Sorry, I don't have much time, and I have something to go out later."

"Okay then, if that's the case."

Rose stood up suddenly, and took out a fairly clear photo of Rhodes standing on the mechanical guard in the form of a plague doctor during the night attack from her small bag, and put it on the coffee table.

Rhodes looked at the photos on the coffee table calmly.

"I've seen this picture, in a newspaper, but it's not as clear as yours."

Rose looked at Rhodes' calm eyes, and a hint of disappointment flashed in her heart.

In the past few days, the figure of the adult and Rhodes in her dreams has been overlapping more and more, making her a little insomnia. In the dead of night, she kept taking photos of Rhodes and the adult that she secretly took. Comparing, but found some things that are difficult to find without looking carefully.

These things reminded her of a possibility.

And this may have made her sleepless.

The adult I think about day and night is very likely to be Rhodes.

For this reason, Rose took a day off and asked Fran to accompany her to Rhode's house, and she wanted to verify it.

If that adult is really Rhodes, she doesn't mind sending Fran home, and she stays to have a more in-depth communication with Rhodes.

"Look carefully, don't you find something different?"

Rose moved closer to Rhodes, leaning half of her body against Rhodes. At this time, she was not hinting, but expressing it.

Thinking day and night almost made her integrate that adult with Rhodes. At this moment, she even just wanted to communicate in depth.

Rhodes narrowed his eyes.

This kind of woman is the most troublesome.

Once touched, it will become unlucky.

He avoided Rose's harassment calmly, and said sharply at the same time:

"Miss Rose, please be respectful. Your behavior has already troubled me. If you don't want to be complained by me and you have nothing else to do, you can leave."

The scolding sound rang in her ears, and Rose blushed at this moment.

But an inexplicable emotion suddenly surged from the bottom of her heart, and a strange feeling made her subconsciously want to kneel at Rhodes' feet.

She was just about to take the next step when suddenly there was a hasty knock on the door.

"Knock knock knock!"

"Rose! Come out quickly! I discovered something very important!"

Fran's voice suddenly sounded from outside the door.

Rose's face pulled down at this moment.

She felt that bringing Fran over to cover herself was a bad decision.

"Miss Rose, your colleague seems to be looking for you."

Seeing Rhode's expression of seeing off the guests, Rose secretly scolded Fran, an idiot, for really picking the time.

"Mr. Rhodes, I will visit you again when I have time next time."

Rose made an excuse for herself to see her next time, and without waiting for Rhodes to refuse, she picked up her bag and stomped out the door.

Outside.

Rose glared at Fran angrily.

"What's the matter? If you don't know, I almost got important news from Rhodes!!"

Seeing Rose's angry expression, Fran suddenly felt apologetic when he heard the other person's words.

"Sorry, I shouldn't have bothered you, but"

"But what!? Obviously you are wrong, you shouldn't bother me when I'm working!"

Rose scolded Fran mercilessly.

The apology in Fran's heart deepened.

"Sorry, I was wrong, I was."

Halfway through speaking, Fran looked at Rose with a guilty conscience.

"What are you looking at? Isn't there something wrong? Tell me quickly!"

Rose said impatiently.

"Actually, I saw a person. Didn't a dozen people die in the villa fire case we were tracking before? The eyewitnesses at the scene said that they saw an old man coming out of that villa. The portrait of that old man I saw I drew it specially, you see."

Fran handed the notebook in front of Rose as if offering a treasure.

Rose glanced at the portrait of the old man in the notebook.

"and then?"

"That old man is right there!"

Fran's finger pointed not far away, and Rose looked in the direction of Fran's finger, and saw a lame old man with a red nose who was sitting on the carriage, holding a tin can and drinking.

Rose's pupils shrank.

According to the information she obtained from Sheriff Paul, the suspect has actually been locked, that is, the old man who came out of the villa.

But for unknown reasons, the bureau withdrew the arrest of the suspect.

The incident was deeply divided within the news agency at the time, with some conspiracy theorists linking the incident to rot within the Authority.

The other part, including Rose, felt that there must be a deep incident that could be dug deeper.

In connection with some news recently obtained from informants within the Administration Bureau, the mechanical guards of the Operations Section have been dispatched recently, and there is inevitably some big news hidden in it.

"Rose, I want to interview that guy, maybe we can dig out big news from it."

There is light in Fran's eyes, and he already feels his future is shining.

Rose forcibly suppressed her restless heart. The interview must be done, but the key point at the moment is that the other party is likely to be a criminal, and dealing with criminals is the most troublesome.

The first thing to do is to find out the other party's ways and preferences.

Only in this way can it be possible to get the desired news from the other party.

This kind of thing is difficult.

"Let me think about it."

A moment of hesitation.

The door of the villa next to it was opened.

Rhodes came out of the house.

After greeting Rose and Fran with a smile, he walked across the street.

Fran looked at Rhode's back with envy in his eyes.

If he had the appearance and background of the other party, maybe he wouldn't have to be so miserable and busy with work all day, and a goddess like Rose, maybe he could easily be infected with it.

Rose looked at Rhode's back, and there was a flash of surprise in the letter. It turned out that the other party didn't have much time to say, and there was something really going on, not to shirk herself.

However, when Rose saw the criminal called Crazy Old Moore respectfully salute Rhodes, her strange brain structure made her have some strange associations.

Could it be a dispute between the remnants of the old days?

The Administration's sudden withdrawal of the arrest of Old Moore may also be the reason why this Mr. Rhodes is behind the scenes.

Watching Rhodes ride away in the carriage driven by Old Moore, Rose, a woman who is full of desire for power, at this moment has deepened her obsession with Rhodes by three points.

"Rose, what should we do now?"

Fran was equally astonished at what he had just discovered.

"Shut up, this matter is not something we can participate in, otherwise you and I may not even know how to die. The only thing we can do now is to seek a breakthrough from Rhodes, but today, I have some advance knowledge. back home."

Rose decided to go home and study the photos she had taken.

Watching Rose get on the steam bus and leave.

Fran was confused again.

Didn't you promise yourself to go shopping?

Why did you go home suddenly?

Maybe, Rose is for work?
Fran comforted himself in his heart.
