"It's not the music and the incense in the house that make people drowsy. It's the smell you released. If I'm not mistaken, the smell of seawater that we smelled along the way was your doing. You even cooperated with Alan's psychological suggestion. Even if someone smelled it, they would only think that it was Alan's psychological suggestion," Zhang Heng said. "That's too insidious."
"I can't help it. You are the one I want to deal with." The monster in the black fog was not ashamed at all. "Unfortunately, I didn't succeed even after doing all that. What I can't understand is that five minutes have passed since I released the smell of seawater and went to the kitchen to get the knife. Why did nothing happen to you?"
"Because I have practiced holding my breath," Zhang Heng said.
His ability to hold his breath was also trained in the Black Sail quest. He could stay underwater for seven to eight minutes, but ever since he awakened the ability to breathe underwater, this ability was no longer useful. He did not expect it to come in handy during this trip to Greenland.
"…"
"I hate guys who have no shortcomings at all," the monster in the black fog said unhappily after a moment of silence.
Zhang Heng raised his eyebrows, "I thought you were from this island, but now it seems that you are very familiar with me. Do we know each other before?"
"Hehe, you can take your time to think about it. It's best to think about everyone around you and see who is more suspicious," the monster in the black fog provoked with interest.
"There's no need to go through so much trouble. I'll just kill you and see who is missing," Zhang Heng said calmly.
"If you want to kill me, the remaining three bullets of your XM109 aren't enough. It's a pity that the saber isn't with you. Otherwise, you might have a chance of winning," the monster in the black fog said regretfully.
At this point, Zhang Heng was sure that the monster in the black fog was indeed someone he knew. The monster in the black fog revealed its true form in the living room, but Zhang Heng did not see it. He only caught a glimpse of it when they fought. Although it was only for a second, Zhang Heng saw a lot of things.
It was an extremely ugly and deformed monster. It was the complete opposite of the Song Jia that it had disguised as before. However, it didn't match the two monsters that Sartus had encountered on the ice sheet and in the city under the ice, but the three had a lot of similarities in terms of appearance and style.
Zhang Heng was sure that there must be some kind of connection between the three, but from what it said to itself in the living room, it did not seem to be on the same side as the master of the city under the ice. Other than that, it was also wary of Kronos.
Seeing that Zhang Heng did not speak, the monster in the black fog said again, "Why? Don't you believe me?"
Unexpectedly, the latter suddenly said, "You're Nanako Mukaiji."
The monster in the black fog was really shocked this time. After a while, it said, "Did you awaken some kind of prophecy ability? You can even guess this?"
Nanako Mukaiji, Hayase Asuka's junior, was an exchange student from Japan who came to China this semester. She was very cute, and Zhang Heng introduced her to Chen Huadong as a study partner to practice their language skills.
Zhang Heng did not have much contact with Nanako until Chen Huadong asked him to help him choose a book from the bookstore. As a result, Zhang Heng found a book on the bookshelf that did not belong there. Just when he was about to pick up the book, Kronos suddenly appeared and snatched the book away. After that, the bartender lady also warned him to be careful of a person with ahoge on her head.
It was also at that time that Zhang Heng realized that Nanako Mukaiji's identity was not ordinary, and since she could alarm Kronos and the bartender lady, she was definitely not a player. It was more likely that she was a supernatural creature. Considering her attitude toward Kronos, it was not difficult to understand why Zhang Heng regarded her as the number one suspect.
But soon, the tone of the monster in the black fog relaxed again. "It doesn't matter. Anyway, I have thousands of clones. It's no big deal if you see through one."
"Who are you? Why are you approaching me?" Zhang Heng asked.
"I am the God of a Thousand Faces, the messenger of the foreign gods, Nyarlathotep, and the only one among the foreign gods who can communicate with humans normally," the monster in the black fog said. "You should be glad that you met me because there are fewer and fewer people who are willing to be reasonable these days."
"I've never heard of your name."
"Of course you haven't heard of my name. Because you are like a piece of … porcelain that has been carefully fired. It has been carefully taken care of before it is taken out of the kiln. Temperature, oxygen … Every process has been set by people. There can be no mistakes in the process because only in this way can a perfect piece of porcelain be fired," the monster in the black fog said.
"So, are you going to tell me that the last time we met, you actually wanted to save me from the kiln?" "I'm not that kind," Nyarlathotep sneered.
"I'm not that kind," Nyarlathotep snickered. "I originally planned to destroy you before the porcelain is done burning. That way, the surface of the porcelain will be covered with cracks, and when it is filled with water in the future, it will completely explode. But I didn't expect Kronos to keep a close eye on me, and his time ability is so annoying. We have only been apart for a month, and you are almost done burning. It's impossible to destroy you now, so I have to think of other ways."
Speaking of this, Nyarlathotep sighed, looking a little distressed.
"Do you have any grudges with Kronos?" Zhang Heng asked.
"Grudges? No, I have nothing to do with that old man. If he didn't insist on getting involved in this matter, I wouldn't have bothered with him at all. And I'm not targeting him, but the owner of the city under the ice. "
"Is it your enemy?"
"No, no, no. We are not enemies. In terms of strength, it should be the current boss of our group. And the stronger it gets, the stronger our group will be. So in a sense, I hope it will continue to grow stronger," Nyarlathotep said.
"But the problem is that Azathos' position will be shaken. He is our real boss, the great God of Blind Stupidity, the Core of Chaos. He is omnipotent, but now his power is completely incomparable to the owner of the city under the ice. As Azathos' most loyal follower, I have to do something for my boss."
