"Are you going to tell the committee about me?" Zhang Heng asked.
Miss Succubus did not answer his question. Instead, she asked, "Have you found a solution?"
"Not yet."
"How much time do you have?"
"About one to two weeks. Of course, if you are willing to help me, I might be able to hold on a little longer," Zhang Heng said.
Miss Succubus frowned. "You asked me if I can send someone erotic dreams. Are you trying to use this to resist the mental attack of the master of R 'yleh?"
"Yes."
"To be honest, I don't think it will work. The difference in strength between us … is too big."
"It doesn't matter. I'm just giving it a try anyway." Zhang Heng remained calm.
Miss Succubus, on the other hand, looked a little annoyed. She took out a pack of cigarettes and lit one. The waiter next to her seemed to want to remind her that smoking was prohibited here, but she glared at him.
"Sai Ji said that the only way to exchange blood is for you. Fortunately, a small character like me is not qualified to exchange blood with you. Otherwise, I'm afraid you will kidnap me." Miss Succubus took a puff of her cigarette and laughed at herself.
"Didn't Sai Ji say that only if both parties are willing to exchange blood?"
"Then, do you have a goal?" To be honest, the succubus felt a little ridiculous when she asked this question. How could there be a god in this world who was willing to sacrifice his own power to save an irrelevant mortal, not to mention that it was at the critical moment when the New Gods and the Old Gods were at war. Didn't the powerful Thor and Cupid get injured one after another? The latter had no choice but to find a place to live in seclusion.
Every ounce of power seemed particularly precious at this time.
But to her surprise, Zhang Heng said, "I know someone who might be willing to exchange blood with me."
"Who?"
"An old friend who has known me since I was very young. He always claims to be my guardian angel, silently protecting me from behind," Zhang Heng said.
"So … do you want me to help you find him?" Miss Succubus perked up.
"No need. He will come to me when I need him."
"Then, all we have to do is wait for him?" Miss Succubus breathed a sigh of relief, but immediately asked, "He won't encounter any trouble on the way like Cupid, right? Now that the war between the New Gods and the Old Gods has begun, it's not safe anywhere."
"With his strength and intelligence, I don't think anyone can threaten him." He then looked into the succubus's eyes. "You haven't answered my previous question."
"What problem?"
"Are you going to report my matter to the committee?"
"If Gaim was still here, I'd probably do it." Miss Succubus took a long drag on her cigarette. "You don't understand the committee. Although there are many departments in the committee, and even many New and Old Gods are working in it, the only one who can bring them together and work well is Gaim. Don't be fooled by his absence. It seems like the committee can run on its own without him, but this is just an illusion. Once the news of his disappearance is known by all the gods, it's only a matter of time before the committee splits. Who knows what will happen next?"
Miss Succubus sighed. "I'll stay with you for the time being. No matter what, it's safer than me being alone. But if you really can't hold on anymore, remember to tell me in advance and let me run. I don't want to be the first person to witness the return of the Lord of R 'yleh. I really don't have the fortune to enjoy this honor."
"Don't worry. I told you that I won't drag you down with me," Zhang Heng said.
…
Sex and the City Bar.
In the lounge on the second floor, the bartender lady was wearing a cheongsam for the first time today. She did not hide behind the bar, flipping through her manga or watching dramas. Instead, she carefully wiped every glass and put the bartending tools back in place. After that, she looked back at the place where she had worked for almost a year and threw a key on the bar.
Just then, the lounge door was pushed open from the outside, and a figure walked in.
The bartender lady did not look back, but as if she knew who it was, she said, "You're later than I expected."
"But no matter what, I finally made it in time to see you off, right?" The man said. "After today, you will be free. From now on, you don't have to work here as a receptionist anymore. To be honest, with your temper, I didn't expect you to stay here for so long."
"It's worth it," the bartender lady said solemnly. The bartender lady said solemnly, "I've finally found what I've been dreaming of. This day is coming, and it will return to this land. When that time comes, both the new and old gods will be shrouded in fear of it."
"That's right. It sounds very exciting." The newcomer echoed, "I can't wait to see this scene."
However, the bartender lady just sneered when she heard what he said. "Forget it, Kronos. Do you really think I will believe all your nonsense? I knew you were up to no good since the first day you came to me. The reason why I didn't expose your lies was because, at least before today, we wanted the same thing. "
"The great Hydra, the overlord of the deep sea, has learned those dirty political tricks and begun to pretend to be polite to others?" Kronos smiled. "You suddenly don't trust me. Is it because Nyarlathotep came to you and said something bad about me?"
"Nyarlathotep did come to me, but it has nothing to do with her. That guy is as annoying as you are. He always thinks that he is the smartest person in the room."
"I can't refute that." Kronos sighed. "So, does this mean that our cooperation is over?"
"Yes," Hydra said. "If you didn't come to me, I would have been happy to drag it out for a few more days. But since Gaim has disappeared, our cooperation has lost its last reason."
"Are you going to look for him?"
"Yes, there are only a few days left. I don't wish for any more accidents to happen. I will bring him to a safe place and let him finish reading this book." The Hydra waved the "Cthulhu Mythos" in its hand.
"What a pity." Kronos shook his head when he heard that.
"What's a pity?"
"I thought that after spending so much time together, you had developed some feelings for him. In the end, you just watched his body be occupied by the master of R 'yleh, and you didn't forget to give him another push."
Hydra was silent for a moment, which was rare for her. "Each of us has a purpose of existence. The purpose of his existence is to become my master's vessel, and the purpose of my existence is to ensure that this matter can be carried out smoothly. The rest of the matter is based on this."
