At this time, Iheuti walked out of the oak house again and looked in disbelief at the direction where Nyarlathotep disappeared.
She tentatively called:
"are you still here?"
"You must be hiding, right?"
"Are you hiding somewhere to watch my jokes?"
But there was no response, and now she was sure that Nyarlathotep had really just left.
"Gone...actually gone..." she murmured in a daze.
She gritted her teeth and said fiercely: "Okay! Nyarlathotep, if you leave, don't come back!"
"See if I will let you into my house again if you come back!"
After saying that, she turned around and angrily entered the oak house again and slammed the door.
"This Nyarlathotep reminds me of an old friend." Jiang Lu showed a hint of reminiscence.
"Who?"
"Congratulations to Emperor Qiang."
Jiang Lu sighed: "The top of Diao is proud of the world. With me, He Qiang, there will be heaven."
"I don't know." Zeus shook his head: "I just think Nyarlathotep is a little ignorant."
"Who says it's not the case?" Jiang Luruo patted Zeus on the shoulder meaningfully: "But then again, didn't you just leave Hera alone to have fun? You are the eldest brother, let alone the second brother."
"Can this be the same?"
"Why is this different? Aren't you the one who ran out to steal people behind her back?"
Zeus's face turned red, and veins on his forehead popped out. He argued, "Picking flowers cannot be considered stealing... Picking flowers!... Can it be considered stealing for a refined person?"
There were words that were difficult to understand one after another, such as "no leaves touch the body" and "always clean and tidy", etc., which made Jiang Lu burst into laughter, and the inside and outside of the bush were filled with happy air.
It wasn't until Zeus threatened to have a life-and-death duel with Jiang Lu that Jiang Lu restrained himself.
"But the current situation is indeed a bit complicated."
Jiang Lu summarized the information obtained from the conversation between Nyarlathotep and Iheuti and analyzed:
"The two most important pieces of information right now are: one is that Ihewuti is an accomplice of the evil, and has actually always been Nyarlathotep's man. He just said that Ihewuti is the person he is pursuing. In this case, it will be difficult for Ihewuti to be a breakthrough.
The second is that the gods are imprisoned in the Sleeping Labyrinth.
If they don't have this relationship, we can go directly to the Sleeping Maze now and find a way to release those gods, but now it seems that although Nyarlathotep has left, Iheuti is still there.
As someone who has been here for many years, no disturbance can escape her eyes, and the place where the gods can be sealed must be very dangerous. There is probably some kind of alarm that can notify Nyarlathotep. layout.
I thought about it, and if I summon Nodens now, Iheuti shouldn't pose much of a threat, but a being like Nyarlathotep who can fight Nodens, if he can't face him head-on. If we hold him back, he will hide in the dark and pose an unimaginable threat to us.
Judging from his contemptuous attitude towards the gods, the limitation he faces is that he is not easy to kill, and he has many incarnations. It is difficult to ensure that he will not become angry because of the failure of his plan and transform into some inconspicuous person or something. Things ran into Hybril and caused disaster.
We must reduce this uncertainty and threat as much as possible, and do not let him find traces of interference by people other than Nodens. Even if he wants to retaliate, let him take revenge on Nodens, not us. "
"So what happens now? Do you have any good ideas?" Zeus asked.
"Hmm..." Jiang Lu thought for a while: "After thinking about it, I still have to use Yihewudi as a breakthrough point."
"Ah? Didn't you just say that she can no longer be a breakthrough?"
"No." Jiang Lu corrected, "I said it's difficult, not impossible."
"Okay, I'm not good at wording, so how are you going to get in?"
"You just saw it. As I said, Iheuti has a bit of a princess's arrogance in her body. Even an evil god with the status of Nyarlathotep will turn her back if she says so. .”
Jiang Lu said: "This kind of people tend to be more self-centered. Most of the time they are not too rational and follow a more emotional way of thinking.
So whether she is angry or acting coquettishly, she will definitely do something to anger Nyarlathotep out of dissatisfaction, in order to gain more attention.
I think we can approach it from this angle. "
"I understand." Zeus nodded: "We need to pretend to be Prince Charming like you said, appear next to her, care about her, and warm her. In this way, whether it is out of our own preferences or out of We can easily take revenge on Nyarlathotep."
"Zeus, alas, Zeus." Jiang Lu shook his head regretfully: "Where have all your years of experience gone? Do you just follow the rules? Don't you have the ability to think divergently?"
"What do you mean?"
"All I can say is that Nyarlathotep is on the first floor, you are on the second floor, and I am the only one on the fifth floor."
"Just tell me." Zeus, who was rejected for no reason, said impatiently: "What is your good idea? Tell me and let me learn from it."
"If you want to talk about cheating, you can't just talk about cheating; you have to talk about discipline, you have to talk about evil and falling; you have to talk about neighbors whose husbands are away on business, you have to talk about the wives of the housekeepers; talk about Wang Po's scheme to seduce Ximen Qing, Jinlian's medicine to poison Wu Dalang; talk about Yan Po's riot in Yuncheng County, Song Jiang's angry killing of Yan Poxi; talk about..."
"Okay, okay, speak human language."
"That is to say," Jiang Lu explained, "you can't just think about how to pout, you have to think about how to maximize the impact of the pout."
"How should I put it..." Zeus understood what Jiang Lu meant, and said unnaturally: "I think you are a little too dark."
"Don't worry about it, just do as I say."
“So that’s come full circle, what is your plan?”
Jiang Lu said seriously: "Arrange a story for her that can only appear in fairy tales."
"Uh..." Zeus expressed confusion: "Is this different from what I said? Prince Charming isn't fairy tale enough?"
"It's smaller, the layout is smaller."
Jiang Lu smiled mysteriously: "There are more than just prince charmings in fairy tales."
......
"It's too much! It's simply too much!"
Ihewuti punched the dough, venting his anger.
She couldn't figure out how Nyarlathotep, a master at playing with people's hearts, couldn't figure out her own thoughts.
I have done so much for him, even betraying my friends who used to live together in Hybrier. Why can't I just ask him to spend more time with me?
The more she thought about it, the angrier she became, and she smashed the dough harder and harder.
"I only know how to ask for it!"
Boom!
"I don't know the reward!"
Boom!
"You don't even know how to take me to heart!"
Boom!
"Call me baby when you need me..."
Boom!
"Kick me away if you don't need to!"
Boom!
"What a bastard! I will never be with you again!"
Boom!
"I must make you regret it!!"
Boom! Click!
The extremely hard diamond tray used to place the dough collapsed under Iheuti's angry beating. The crumbs flew and the flour was scattered. The kitchen was instantly in a mess.
It was at the moment when the plate with hazelnuts was knocked over and there was a crackling sound all over the floor that she realized a problem.
Maybe it wasn't that Nyarlathotep couldn't guess what he was thinking, but he just guessed it, but chose to play dumb and dismissive.
To put it bluntly, I don’t love it anymore.
Yihewuti was stunned for a moment, and finally couldn't bear the grievance in his heart. He squatted on the ground and cried emotionally.
The real disappointment is not making a fuss, real disappointment, nor bursting into tears, but the lack of initiative and heart-to-heart talk.
If I say it, you will be indifferent and indifferent, and I will no longer care about your affairs.
Jiang Lu records the emo moments of every heartbroken girl.
Boom boom boom!
There was a knock on the door.
Iheuti was startled, thinking that Nyarlathotep had found his way back, so he wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and stood up to open the door.
"You still have some conscience..."
But when she reached the door and was about to open it, she thought of something again and took back her hand.
"No... No... It shouldn't be like this."
"I can't go on like this."
"I don't want to be that fool who can forget everything with a slap and a sweet date."
"I don't want to be attached to this bastard anymore."
"I want to improve myself! I want to be a heroine!"
She murmured to herself, her mind awakening at this moment.
Thinking of this, she suppressed her smile, put on an indifferent expression, and opened the door.
The moment the door was opened, she asked in a distant tone:
"Is there anything else you want?"
However, as soon as the words came out of her mouth, she froze on the spot.
Standing outside the door was not Nyarlathotep, but two men hidden in black robes.
"Who are you?" Ihewuti asked warily.
"Oh... beautiful Ihewuti, it's nice to meet you."
