Evening Bell Church

The three of them sat down, and Su Ge asked calmly: "Where is that statue?"

Duke waved to the bodyguard on the side. The bodyguard walked to a nearby room and brought over a statue the size of a fist in less than a minute.

The statue seemed to be carved from ancient bluestone, and the whole body was turbid green. The dust and dirt on it had been wiped clean, and even the gaps were spotless, which was enough to show that Duke was interested in this statue.

The statue looks like a monster, with a huge octopus head, a body similar to a human, and a pair of bat wings.

The technique of the statue does not look very clever, and the overall lines of the statue are very rough and simple, as if it is a newly polished prototype.

But the moment Su Ge looked at this statue, he felt an indescribable terrifying and mysterious aura, and it gave people an uncontrollable fear.

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

The deformed octopus head behind the tentacles seems to be a shape that does not belong to this world. It makes people vaguely feel the deformity of the water filling the skin and constantly crawling and flowing, like a pustule, like a herpes, like a pus-filled wound.

"Hiss!"

Su Ge suddenly came back to his senses, took a breath of air, and looked a little unhappy.

Sheryl looked very disdainful at Su Ge at this moment and looked down at her nails.

Su Ge didn't dare to continue looking at that deformed head with his eyes.

His spiritual vision has now reached 55 points, which is a relatively high value among humans. He is afraid that his spiritual vision will allow him to see something he shouldn't see.

The eyes fall on the body of the statue.

Compared with the ferocious head, the statue's body has a strange and peaceful look. It seems to be meditating, with its legs crossed and its hands placed on its lower abdomen in a vague gesture that Su Ge can't understand.

The wings on his back were attached to the sides of his body, protecting it like an eggshell in the middle, as if protecting his body.

Looking back from the statue, Duke said seriously: "You should also be able to feel the difference in this statue, right? According to my estimate, this statue is at least three thousand years old. Although the workmanship is relatively rough, it looks like some kind of The statues placed on the bows of ships when the island country goes to sea have great research value and historical significance.”

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

Duke's face became a little solemn when he heard Su Ge's tone. Then he thought about it carefully and nodded: "He had been keeping this statue before. The thief had already obtained the statue yesterday and it was snatched back by him. It seems...he When I went out in the rain, I was still holding this statue.”

Hearing this, Su Ge said directly: "That's right. This statue is no accident. It should be an artifact used by a certain cult, or even a statue of an evil god."

"The statue of the evil god!?" Upon hearing this, Duke suddenly turned very pale.

Su Ge pointed at the vague marks on it and said: "It can be seen from these marks that the craftsman who carved this statue is a very skilled craftsman. He should have been able to make this statue lifelike, but why is this statue so beautiful?" Will it look like this?"

Duke shook his head and said he didn't know.

Su Ge said seriously: "Because, gods cannot be looked directly at."

Hearing this, Duke suddenly remembered this ancient law. Mortals cannot look directly at gods.

Su Ge looked at the statue and said: "The craftsman should also be a cultist. He longs for others to see his Lord. However, if the carving is too realistic, everyone who sees it will go crazy. At the same time, this statue will not be affected by the will of the world." allowed.”

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

After listening to Su Ge's words, Duke carefully looked at the tiny carvings, his face suddenly became paler, and he asked with a trembling voice: "Mr. Black Mist, then... what should I do now? Will I be killed by the evil god?" Are you following it?"

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

But it was different now. He knew deeply how sensible and determined his butler was. It was incredible that such a wise man suddenly went crazy.

Coupled with the crazy posture and resentful eyes of the person who was pestering him before, it immediately made him even more frightened.

Su Ge touched his chin and looked at the statue. He had clearly recognized that this statue was a statue of Cthulhu.

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

When Duke was in fear, Su Ge suddenly asked: "How did you bring this statue in? I remember that a cruise ship of this level should have strict control over what guests carry, right? Anything suspicious is Not allowed to be brought up.”

Duke came back to his senses and said: "This thing is relatively precious. I carried it with me personally at the time. Moreover, our family's reputation is very good, so we can use special channels and the inspection is relatively loose."

Su Ge suddenly thought of a possibility and continued to ask: "Then when did you bring this statue up?"

"It was the day before we boarded the ship. We planned to leave Ocean City the next day, but something like that happened so we changed our route temporarily," Duke said.

Su Ge had roughly understood some of the situation and fell into deep thought.

This immediately 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 have become an accomplice to help them transport goods. Even this statue was carefully designed by them for you to take on board. After all, they don’t have the ability to bring this thing up.”

Hearing this, Duke's face turned very ugly. He recalled the down-and-out old sailor in his mind. In terms of his speech and behavior, he really didn't look like that kind of poor sailor.

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

Su Ge leaned on the sofa and said nothing, giving Duke enough 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?"

Su Ge calmly replied: "This requires additional fees."

"The cost is not a problem. As long as you can ensure my personal safety and prevent me from being entangled by evil gods and persecuted by cults, after arriving safely at home, you will receive the most pure and harmonious friendship from me, Duke Hausman." Du Although Ke was a little panicked at this time, his tone was still calm, his words were clear, and his eyes were bright and solemn, giving people a very trustworthy look.

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

Duke said seriously: "That's for sure."

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

After hearing this, Duke was silent for a few seconds and said truthfully: "I don't really trust him."

"I appreciate your honesty. Because honesty is the first step in cooperation." Su Ge said with approval on his face.

Duke forced a smile: "Our family started with integrity. Integrity is the principle of our family."

Sugar continued: "You should be able to feel something. I am not an ordinary psychiatrist. At the same time, I have a certain cooperative relationship with the captain of this ship."

Duke recalled Sugar's attitude towards the arrogant vice-captain, and nodded in affirmation: "Yes, I can feel it. If my estimate is not wrong, you should be a mysterious person."

The two bodyguards were shocked when they heard this. They watched Su Ge's expression gradually become tense, his hand slowly stretched out to his lower back, and he carefully held the weapon placed there.

Snap!

Su Ge snapped his fingers, nodded slightly and said: "Your feeling is not wrong. Since you can recognize us by our features, you should have heard of our reputation. We can traverse so many ancient tombs and still be alive without being contaminated. We as a couple naturally have strong enough means to protect ourselves from any vicious curses and troubles.”

Duke said seriously: "You are very frank and bold. You are the first person I have ever seen who dares to admit that he is a mystic so openly."

Su Ge said with a casual smile: "The mysterious person is not a cultist. Although the church has been restricting the contact between the mysterious person and ordinary people, in fact, there is not much difference between the mysterious person and ordinary people. A gun to the head will kill you." "

Hearing this, Duke showed a relatively relaxed smile and asked tentatively: "What plans do you have now that you need my help with?"

Su Ge nodded and said bluntly: "Captain Macock is an upright soldier. He knew that there were cultists on this ship, so he invited me to help him find all these cultists. And what a coincidence..."

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

Upon hearing this, a chill suddenly appeared in Duke's soul and spread to his whole body in an instant.

"This... what do they want to do?" Duke was very smart, and he had already vaguely felt the seriousness of this matter.

Su Ge said: "I don't think you want to know what you are doing. You just know that the statue in your hand has become his target."

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

Su Ge looked down at the statue in front of him and shook his head: "I have no interest or need in this statue, because I need you to continue to hold this statue with your own hands, and then hand it to someone who needs it at a critical moment."
