Chen Qiang woke up.

“……？”

The cold voice of the system sounded.

[Due to the number of people entering the module is more than one, respected Secret Keeper, in this mod, you will not be able to assign any investigator talents to other investigators.] Other investigators can continue to use their own investigator talents after entering the module]

"......" and so on.

[You will not be able to choose the original intent/popular mode, nor can you change the mode in the game, you can only use the original intent mode, that is, use your own real attributes as a character card]

Wrong......

You will not be able to participate in the prep survey.

[Other investigators will enter the module in five minutes]

Can anyone tell me......

Chen Qiang shook his body vigorously. However, his limbs were chained to the sturdy bed, and he could not move at all except to stare at the ceiling with his eyes.

"What the hell is going on!"

……

Arkham, St. Mary's Spiritual Retreat Center.

In the 21st century, St. Mary's Hospital, located southwest of Miskanitok University, was renovated on the site of St. Mary's Hospital, a modern medical institution that integrates advanced technology and humanistic care.

St. Mary's Psychiatric Retreat inherited all the patients of the old psychiatric hospital. Massachusetts, where even the toughest cases in the whole meter were sent here. It has some of the best medical facilities in the country, and many well-off patients choose to be hospitalized at St. Mary's Psychiatric Retreat.

But for some reason, whether it is the ordinary townspeople of Arkham Town or the students of Miskanitok University, there will always be only one name for this hospital.

Arkham Asylum.

Arkham has only one madhouse. One is enough.

……

The nurse who patrols the ward walks past a row of wards.

The people who live in these rooms are people who suffer from severe paranoia...... It is dangerous.

She looked down at the records in her medical records.

[Ward 1.]

Patient: Mr. Bigby.

Symptom: Delusion that he is a legendary great magician. He would often make strange poses, chant incantations that had no real meaning, and sometimes shout "Take!" Invisible force field grappling! "Demon Duncan's Great Cleavage!" "Extreme Delay Burst Fireball Technique!"

Danger: Low. The person was old and frail, severely hunchbacked, and severely lacking in physical strength. 】

"Avada suo!" As the nurse walked by, Bigby pointed a chopstick at her from nowhere, and was glamorously ignored by her.

[Ward 2.]

Patient: Mr. Michael.

Symptoms: Delusional belief in being a member of an alien race. In the patient's delusions, the race is known as "Mi Go", lives on Pluto, and Mr. Michael on Earth underwent a brain swap operation, and was trapped on Earth with no return due to the loss of communication with the people.

Danger: Medium. The person must be denied any requests for tools to avoid escaping the asylum. Except for comic books. 】

The nurse looked through the small window, and Mr. Michael was reading a decades-old superhero comic, muttering to himself, "This penguin man is also in this madhouse?" I have to find it in the alliance" and so on.

[Ward 3.]

Patient: Mr. Walter Phillips (tentative name)

Symptoms: This person claims to be the founder of Miskanitok University, Walter Phillips (real name unknown). Historically, Walter Phillips donated a number of books to Arkham in 1693, which laid the foundation for the later establishment of the University of Miskatonik and its library. This man claims that this is not his first time travel in time, and that he met a friend named "Randolph Carter" in the early 20th century, but there is currently no evidence that this person actually existed.

Danger: Indefinite. He maintains a 17th-century lifestyle, with a negative attitude towards contemporary technology, and does not expose him to any inventions made after the mid-20th century. 】

As luck would have been for today, there was no sound in Ward 3.

Maybe the master of imagination is dreaming again, the nurse thought lightly.

Ward 4......

The nurse stopped. She read the medical records very carefully.

[Patient: Chen Qiang]

Her impression was very clear, it was that strange Chinese ancestry.

[Symptoms: Variable.] The most common are claims that this world is a game world, an alternate space that describes the possibility of paralleling the real world, and an unclear term for "Earth's last keeper". 】

Compared with other patients, this Mr. Chen is the most normal one.

[Danger: Low.] He is expected to be discharged from the hospital in the near future. 】

The nurse blinked. This afternoon, his friend should come back here to pick him up.

Alas......

The head nurse sighed.

I'm sorry for you, but I have to do what the dean tells you.

The nurse picked up a pencil and crossed out the last sentence "expected to be discharged from the hospital in the near future" and changed it to "need to continue to stay in the hospital for observation"

"Who made you the one who was taken care of by the dean," the nurse sighed, "Forget it, you have no worries about food and clothing if you are locked up here anyway." ”

But before tonight, the nurse glanced at Chen Qiang, who was locked in the bed and couldn't move, so you can stay here honestly all day first.

Ignoring Chen Qiang who was struggling, the nurse walked away.

……

And on the other hand, outside the Arkham asylum, in the parking lot.

Qin Yixian patted the steering wheel of his modified Cadillac.

As he wrote in his purchase request, it was exactly the same as the one in his real world.

A bewildered Dr. Todd sat in the passenger seat of the car. Gu Shiyin and Cecilu are in the back seat.

[Mission: Take Chen Qiang out of the "St. Mary's Spiritual Retreat Center", explore the truth behind the events he encountered, and protect him in the game for 48 hours]

The sound of the system's machinery echoed in the ears of the four people.

If Chen Qiang could hear this prompt, he would be shocked. This is the first time that the system has explicitly issued such an "order" to the investigator within the module.

But Qin Yixian and the other four didn't know about this situation......

Qin Yixian calmly glanced at his phone: the date on it was the same year in the real world, three months later, that is, August.

If Chen Qiang can see this time, he will immediately start reasoning, thinking that this may be an important clue, because this is the first time that the system has put the time point of the module in the future.

But Qin Yixian and the other four didn't know about this situation......

"Damn, we have to hurry up and save Mr. Chen," said Dr. Todd, who finally reacted, "Mr. Qin......"

"You're right," Qin Yixian narrowed his eyes, "By the way, my current identity is Ian Qin, an actor from the United States." In front of the NPCs, you remember to call me Ian, not Yat-sen. ”

Qin Yixian opened the car door.
