Chapter 32: Chen Qiang's plan
A little earlier.
Chen Qiang quietly left the banquet hall through the side door. The evening breeze blew on his face.
He looked up at the stars in the sky.
"I don't know where it is Hyades," he thought to himself, "which one is Adibaram (Aldebaran)." The city of Khalksa is located in double sunshine. ”
Chen Qiang walked to the central observation tower located in the middle of the hotel area, surrounded by three single-family buildings, A, B and C.
[Chen Qiang's credit rating failed 85/10]
Alas, I wish I could use 98% credit in this world.
"The observation tower is closed to the public today, young man," the gray-haired old security guard stopped Chen Qiang and glanced at his rented suit, "The press conference is in Building A." ”
"I'm not a fan," Chen Qiang shook his head, believing that on such an "important" day, the Yoshikawa brothers and sisters had replaced the doorman with their own, "Tell Yoshikawa Hideki that Chen Qiang is waiting for him here." He'll understand. ”
He was prepared for the guards to ignore him. His hand reached into his trouser pocket, where he had all the money on his body. When necessary, he can only pay his whole wealth to buy him.

The old doorman smiled. He nodded, walked into the observation tower, and through the glass door, Chen Qiang saw that he had picked up the microphone.
I'm not lying! Chen Qiang complained about the strict judgment of the system.
……
Not bad.
As early as the card writing stage, when others were either fooling or pursuing the truth to write the character background for their character cards, Chen Qiang, who was the only one who had read the synopsis of the mod, began his own plan.
[Name: Chen Qiang; Player: Chen Qiang; Age: 20 Occupation: International student】
[Power 65; Constitution 50; Body type 65; Dexterity 70; Appearance 65
Intelligence 75; Will 80; Education 70]
【Skills:

library use 51%; Listen to 70%; persuasion 35%;
Psychology 50%; Detection 66%】
【Character Background:
When "Chen Qiang" was a child, he came to the UK with his parents and met the brothers and sisters Hideki Yoshikawa and Sayoko Yoshikawa. Even when Hideki Yoshikawa was at his poorest, "Chen Qiang" encouraged the young man who dreamed of becoming a game maker not to give up, and collected all kinds of folk anecdotes for him to use as material for future games. Later, "Chen Qiang"'s parents took him back to his homeland, and the contact between him and Hideki Yoshikawa and Sayoko Yoshikawa was also broken.
Many years later, because of the failure of his parents' business, "Chen Qiang's" economic situation became difficult. Under the persuasion of his parents, through the connection of a British friend, "Chen Qiang" received a scholarship and went to Wales to study. At this time, "Chen Qiang" had already heard the news of Hideki Yoshikawa's fame as a game producer, and he was happy for his friend from the bottom of his heart.
Now that Hideki Yoshikawa has moved the company to the UK, it seems like a good time to visit Hideki Yoshikawa again. However, today, the economic conditions between Hideki Yoshikawa and himself have been reversed, and "Chen Qiang" does not know how to face him. Perhaps, an invitation received by a friend is an opportunity? 】
The background of the investigator is not a panacea.
If you say something like "I am a big cadre of the Yellow Seal Brotherhood" or "I am Scuffers lurking in human society", the system will immediately dismiss it.
But for the system, it's just related to Hideki Yoshikawa, an important NPC who is not a boss in the plot, and it's nothing at all.
As for the other investigators? Whether to inform them of the background of the story in advance is within Chen Qiang's authority.
……
Moment.
Chen Qiang thought that Hideki Yoshikawa would call him upstairs, but out of his expectations, he saw Hideki and Sayoko rushing out of the tower in a hurry.
"Chen Jun!" Without waiting for Chen Qiang to speak, Yoshikawa Hideki gave him a warm hug, "I knew you would definitely come back!" ”
【Chen Qiang's Psychology Examination 5/50 Success】
Yingshu's strength must be more than 70 - Chen Qiang felt his back hurt from being strangled. But he can still feel the friendship in Yingshu's words that cannot be erased by time.
Sayoko followed behind her brother. Tears welled up in her eyes.
[Chen Qiang's Psychology Test 91/50 failed]
Sayoko's performance was so real that Chen Qiang felt that Sayoko was almost as excited as her brother.
"Damn bastard," Chen Qiang heard Yingshu whisper in a low voice, "Where have you been all these years?" I'm worried about you; And Sayoko, you know how much she waited for you. ”
Hideki suddenly stopped talking. He took a few steps back and cleared his throat.
Chen Qiang glanced at Xiao Yozi on the side. She looked very thin and looked at Chen Qiang timidly, as if she was hesitating to go up and talk.
I have a dice reminder, change it to the "Chen Qiang" in the story, maybe I really believe in your performance, Chen Qiang said secretly.
"Sayoko." He walked over with a smile and touched Sayoko's head.
【Chen Qiang's charm test 10/36 success】
Sayoko cried as if she had suddenly burst emotionally.
"It's okay," Chen Qiang said softly, "It's okay." ”
He had a soft expression on his face.
……
"Ahem...... Hideki Yoshikawa, who didn't know the truth, realized that the scene was developing in an embarrassing direction for him, "Jun Chen, since you're back today, how about we go to the press conference together?" ”
"Brother, it's not time yet, people want to accompany Chen Jun for a while." Sayoko is coquettish.
"The press conference was done ahead of schedule," said Hideki Yoshikawa, "and we had time to talk to Chen Jun for a long time." ”
You said what I wanted to say, Chen Qiang thought. I just want the press conference to start early, and I can't let those guys who are super swimmers jump around in secret.
"Okay." Sayoko nodded reluctantly.
"Let's go, Chen Jun, let everyone get to know you!" Reuniting with an old friend who he hadn't seen for many years, Hideki Yoshikawa looked in high spirits and strode towards Building A.
……
Time comes back to the present.
In the banquet hall, the scene was filled with a feverish atmosphere.
In order to maximize the power of the fragmented fragment of "The King in Yellow", Miss BOSS, you really took great pains......
That's right.
Chen Qiang, who has read the description of the mod, knows very well that the boss of the mod "Curse of the Hanged King" is not his brother Yingshu......
It's my sister Sayoko.
The content of the fragment of "The King in Yellow" was not enough, so he fooled his brother to fill it by himself. There weren't enough people in the production team, so they put as much magic as possible on the invitations they sent to make them more susceptible to the influence of the King in Yellow.
If you haven't seen the synopsis of the mod, the first object of suspicion is Hideki. Hiding in the shadow of her brother is exactly what Sayoko is capable of.
Except for Chen Qiang himself, the others on the scene, even if they pass the will test, will not realize the hidden dangers of this game and leave. In terms of concealment alone, "The Curse of the Hanged King" may be more terrifying than the original "King in Yellow", which can be seen as weird and crazy after a skimming of it.
But......
Sayoko.
I, Chen Qiang, just don't like those who like to play "Plan Pass"!
Taking advantage of everyone's attention focused on the big screen, Chen Qiang walked behind Sister Qiu, who was playing the game with energy.
The battle of the teaching war is nearing its end. The enemy's health bar has bottomed out, and Sister Qiu's skillful operation has allowed her to achieve an absolute advantage-
Now is the time!
Syllable!
I saw Chen Qiang use an exaggerated, discus-throwing posture to push Sister Qiu the back.
