Chapter 183: The Keeper's Notebook
July.
The sun is blazing.
Miskatonic University, former Institute of Nuclear Energy.
The Institute of Nuclear Energy is located near the main entrance of the university, and in the fifties it was one of the most imposing buildings of the entire university. The Nathaniel Derby Pickman Foundation funded the institute, but after the end of the Cold War, the institute closed its doors.
Later, the university wanted to reopen the institute, but after a series of accidents caused by the Tsunami, the university froze the old house again and set its sights on supercomputers as protesters from Boston grew.
Today, the Pickman Institute for Nuclear Energy is a public exhibition hall that showcases the results of Miskatonic University's research in archaeology, medicine and geology β the kind that is harmless to humans and animals.
Gao Yangcheng was uneasy.
He and the entire "Kamen Rider" crew got a new investment, and the film version that was originally scheduled to be filmed in Dongying was also "generously" changed to be filmed in the United States, on the condition that the location must be designated by the investor.
In the trail after the Institute of Nuclear Energy at Miskatonic University......
"Mr. Chen......" Gao Yangchengsan, who took off his holster, was sweating profusely, and cautiously looked at the stunt group, wearing sunglasses and a fake beard, the distinguished uninvited guest.
Like Gao Yang Chengsan, the other staff members in the stunt team also looked at the half-way "assistant" with strange eyes. He did little work, but he always stared at the corners of the darkness with a wary eye, as if something lurked there. When everyone got the orders of their superiors, they naturally didn't dare to ask more.
Gao Yang Chengsan felt that Chen Qiang was almost the strangest big boss he had ever seen - he had never seen a big boss who had to travel and make up as an ordinary staff member to follow the "irrelevant" TV drama crew.
"It's finally the first of July," Chen Qiang muttered to himself, "I don't know how Xiaoxue's treatment is." β
Chen Qiang's eyes fell on Gao Yang Chengsan. He had just come out of his costume and was covered in sweat.
"You've got a hard job." Chen Qiang said.
"I'm going to retire next year." Gao Yang Chengsan said. He has been saying this since ten years ago, but he has never been able to make up his mind to say goodbye to the audience.
"Maybe next year, you won't have to work so hard," Chen Qiang said with a pun, "The progress of science and technology is changing with each passing day." β
Gao Yang Chengsan wanted to say, "How is that possible", but considering that the person opposite was Chen Qiang, he held back.
When the old stuntman was young, he was full of beautiful imagination about the future of technology, such as the popularization of private aircraft and the eradication of cancer, but the results were not as beautiful as no one imagined.
For Gao Yang, Mr. Chen may be an expert in the digital field, but in other respects, he is just a verbal satellite.
I hope that in my lifetime, I can meet the real "Kamen Rider", Gao Yangseisan thought to himself.
β¦β¦
Time goes back to half a month ago.
In a hot spring inn in Hokkaido.
"Okay, Is," Chen Qiang nodded to Iss, who was across the table, "I gave permission." β
"I'm going to behave well," Iss stood up straight, "and I'll ...... when the mission is over."
"I will let you learn from this lady," Chen Qiang nodded, and Helena Blavatsky, who was sitting on the side, also smiled, "The human knowledge system is very suitable for you. β
By the standards of the Iss, the intelligence level of this person is completely insufficient, but by the standards of humans, the Iss, who has three 80+ academic skills, is the level of a real master of three materials in human society. Her will is also as high as 85, which is higher than the average for the Is.
"If there's anything you can't decide," Mr. Chen said, "you can discuss it with Bai Shaobao." Remember, your mission is only to be a liaison, and if you find any other Isis, remember to report back to me. β
Iss nodded. She bowed to Chen Qiangshen and left.
[Mod: The Approaching Shadow of Time Completed]
The system prompt that sounded made Chen Qiang breathe a sigh of relief.
Sure enough, as long as Isis is completely allowed to work for himself, the mod can be achieved.
In fact, Chen Qiang doesn't mind letting this mod hang in his "taskbar" for a while: as long as the mod doesn't show completion, he doesn't need to activate the Secret Keeper talent "Secret Keeper's Eye" to see the dice verification results, which is quite convenient......
[You have been rewarded with the Investigator talent: Friend of the Is, your sanity will not be reduced by witnessing the Isis (non-human form).] γ
Cumulatively, Chen Qiang already has a series of investigator talents such as "Friends of Ghouls", "Friends of the Ancients", "Friends of the Is", "Burning Luck", "Restoration Luck", "Spiritual Solidification" (most sanity losses are halved), "All or Nothing" (on some occasions, you can take a second test with a certain risk, and if you fail, you will suffer a similar punishment for a big failure) and "Friend of the Gamer" (increase the preset reputation in the gamer community). Through the "distribution of talents" by the guardian talent, Chen Qiang can distribute some of his talents to the investigators.
The all-important Wisdom Pool is the accumulation of more than 170 points.
[Chen Qiang's psychology has increased to 73, speech has increased to 90, persuasion has increased to 43, stealth has increased to 29, and listening has increased to 73]
[Chen Qiang's speech skills have reached 90, reaching the level of human experts, and his sanity has recovered to 44]
ββ¦β¦ Ha. Because my ceiling is only 44. β
[You have completed a total of 10 modules, completed the hidden quest "Traversing the Myth", and obtained the random Secret Keeper talent]
Hey? Was it only a full ten?
Chen Qiang's two secret room modules, "Five-Color Door" and "Red Knife" (which the investigator withdrew halfway through), were not counted.
From back to front, "The Looming Shadow of Time", "Hit and Run", "Future Boundary", "Emerald Chaser", "Arkham of the Soul", "Christmas Carnival in the Ocean", "Sound Beyond Time", "The Curse of the Hanged King", "Strange Tales of a Summer Night", "The King in Yellow in the Board Game Club".
ββ¦β¦ Not. β
There are really 10 of them who have experienced it personally.
"Actually, you can ask the ISS agent network to help you." Helena on one side interjected.
The premise is that Chen Qiang is really an Is, she thought.
"I prefer to be hands-on." Chen Qiang shrugged.
This time the system's final prompt seems to be a little more stuck than usual.
It's a long-lost monster manual!
Chen Qiang was excited in his heart.
is still asleep, and the "hidden daughter of Cthulhu" Kehira may not be able to directly pull into the ranks of the investigators. With this feature, at least have a chance to take a look at her cards......
γHelena Psychology Test 34/98 Successγ
The occultist sighed leisurely. For a moment, she was sure that Chen Qiang was a secret Is, but many of his various behaviors were like a pure human being.
