Dice In The Darkness: Cthulhu Calls

Chapter 137: Nyarlathotep Makes a Formal Appearance

Ji Wu's confidence instilled assurance in the others, leading them to finalize their upcoming plan.

The plan was rather straightforward. First, Silvia would act as a representative and approach Caesar, attempting diplomatic means to release Jigu from the state of control. If unsuccessful, Silvia would initiate a propaganda war, accusing Caesar of collusion with the Ghoul Elder, jointly manipulating Jigu. Regardless of whether their side gained the upper hand in public opinion, Liu Xing and the group would seize control of the situation, with Ji Wu taking the opportunity to cast spells on Jigu.

With their decision made, Liu Xing and the others began their actions.

Ai Mei went to find Silvia, and together they sought out Caesar for a conversation.

Liu Xing, accompanied by Zhu Yan Yu, took the responsibility of protecting Ji Wu, standing on either side of him.

He Wei, alongside Luo Cong, approached Caesar. Their plan was to cooperate with Ai Mei and Silvia to control Caesar promptly in case the conversation failed.

As for Komatsu, together with Luo Luo, they located Second Auntie. Cooperating with Second Auntie's subordinates, they set up a formation, aiming to divide Jigu's team on the outskirts.

"Caesar, you should be well aware that the situation with Jigu is clearly abnormal now. I am certain that the Ghoul Elder has used spells to control Jigu!" Silvia's voice suddenly raised, echoing in the church.

Liu Xing understood; Caesar indeed had ulterior motives, intending to hand Jigu over directly to the Ghoul Elder.

"Damn it, Silvia, can't you keep your voice down a bit?" Caesar, sensing trouble, whispered to Silvia.

At this moment, Liu Xing also noticed that the members of Jigu's team, upon hearing Silvia's words, had their expressions change. They began to gather in groups of two or three, discussing the matter.

Silvia was well aware of this and decided to press on. Her voice rose a few decibels more. "What? You want me to speak more quietly? Why? Are we discussing something we shouldn't be talking about?"

With this statement, Silvia backed Caesar into a dilemma, and the discussion inside the church grew louder. Liu Xing even heard keywords like "betrayal," "abandon," and "usurpation."

"Damn it, I am well aware of Jigu's current situation. He is now ready to sacrifice himself, submit to the Ghoul Elder, just to ensure we can leave Graveyard alive. But when he thinks about turning into a Ghoul soon, Jigu feels a bit sorrowful, which is why he looks like this now." Caesar fell silent for a moment, finally coming up with a somewhat plausible explanation.

Of course, this time, Caesar's voice could finally rival Silvia's.

Caesar's voice managed to suppress the discussions inside the church.

However, Silvia had no intention of letting Caesar off. She sneered and said, "Hehe, Caesar, stop spouting nonsense with your eyes wide open. Take a look at Jigu now. He has no vitality, just like an lifeless sculpture. This is clearly the appearance of someone, or rather, Jigu, being controlled by the Ghoul Elder. And you, Caesar, are now aiding and abetting the Ghoul Elder, helping him manipulate Jigu. What are your true intentions, Caesar?!"

Caesar found himself momentarily speechless under Silvia's scrutiny, and Silvia had no intention of allowing Caesar time to formulate a response. "Hehe, I think, Caesar, you want Jigu to become a Ghoul so that you can replace him."

With these words, the church instantly became lively, with everyone discussing whether Caesar truly harbored such intentions.

"Damn it, Silvia, how can you accuse me without any evidence?" Caesar retorted, his embarrassment turning into anger.

Silvia, well-prepared in her arguments, knew she couldn't push Caesar too hard at the moment. Smiling, she said, "Well then, why not let Ji Wu use his Occultist skills on Jigu? After all, Jigu is an Occultist and is most familiar with these situations."

Caesar, feeling cornered by Silvia, started to speak recklessly, "Heh, just because you say Ji Wu is an Occultist, does that make him one? I could also claim to be Emperor Caesar. I believe you are concocting a conspiracy to sow discord among us for your own gain. Perhaps you even want to take advantage of this situation to kill Jigu!"

"Hehe, Caesar, you seem a bit panicky now. Don't forget that the Ghoul Elder and a group of Ghouls are waiting outside the church. What benefit do we gain by sowing discord among you now? Also, if Jigu dies, how can the Ghoul Elder spare us? Everyone knows that to transform a player into a Ghoul, it must be done while the player is alive. If the player dies before completing the transformation, they will disappear directly," Silvia said with disdain.

Caesar was left speechless by Silvia's retort. After a moment of silence, he sighed in resignation and loudly admitted, "Fine, Silvia, you win. I admit I planned to hand Jigu over to the Ghoul Elder. But I can tell you and everyone present clearly, I have no intention of taking Jigu's place. I'm doing it to ensure everyone survives. Regardless of the Ghoul Elder's abilities, just the hundred or so Ghouls are beyond our capability to handle. So, let me ask you all, do you want to leave Graveyard alive or not?"

Caesar's words rendered the church silent, leaving Silvia's side without a response.

"It seems the situation is getting out of control," Liu Xing sighed silently. It appeared that it was time to resolve this matter with force.

Silvia shook her head and said, "No one has the right to arbitrarily deprive others of the choice to decide for themselves. We cannot let Jigu become a Ghoul without a clear understanding. I'm sorry, Caesar."

As Silvia finished speaking, Liu Xing and his group took out their guns, pointing them at the nearest enemies.

Having seized the initiative, Liu Xing's side completely suppressed Caesar's faction.

Facing the guns pointed at him, Caesar, instead of getting angry, laughed loudly and said, "Silvia, do you really want everyone to be buried with Jigu? I know Jigu well; he would never willingly become a Ghoul!"

"How interesting."

At this moment, the church doors suddenly swung open, and a black man in a coat walked in, holding a large bag in his hand.
