Chapter 186: The Road to Arkham

Robin Selman didn't know that even though he had been cautious and was the only one who didn't sign the "cooperation contract" (hidden investigator clause) provided by Chen Qiang (from the occultist's point of view, this contract could not have anything to do with the mysterious phenomenon, but from the lawyer's point of view, even if the contract itself was impeccable, the act of "getting people to sign" itself was suspicious), Chen Qiang still pulled him into the ranks of investigators.

His sanity is only 5, and Chen Qiang only needs to consume 5 points of sanity pool to forcibly see his card......

By the standards of a normal investigator, Robin Selman is very "professional".

However, in Chen Qiang's eyes, he can only be regarded as average - first of all, his reason is too low, and his ability is not so strong that Chen Qiang sacrifices his reason pool to pull his reason up; Secondly, at this moment, there are only "hero investigators" in the house, including Chen Qiang, Helena, and Beethoven, who are so strong that they don't know where to go......

Following the trail in the back mountain, Robin Selman walked up to a small Jizo Bodhisattva on the side of the road. This is a stone statue that can be seen everywhere in Dongying, and there are faint wild dog-like footprints nearby.

"Come out," said Lawyer Selman, "I know you're there. ”

Two rickety figures jumped out of the grass on the side of the road. They have rubber-like skin, dark red eyes, and pointed ears, like two large dogs that can walk upright. Both "men" were dressed in clothes, especially the taller one, dressed in a rich purple robe, with a silver mask covering his face, which on closer inspection revealed to be made of the bones of some kind of creature.

"Salute to the two emissaries of the Skeleton Eaters," Lawyer Selman bowed slightly, "thank you for keeping vigil for us." ”

Naturally, these two are members of the ghoul clan. All over the world, in graves, in dark corners of the earth, these creatures feed on corpses.

"It's okay," the purple-robed priest said indifferently, "my clan will live here forever, and I am willing to ...... Do an old friend a favor. ”

"You owe me a favor," said Robin Selman grimly, his turquoise eyes glinting, "you promised me three times in total, and this is the second time. ”

Robin Selman took a big risk in the Egyptian desert to make these skeletal creatures owe him a favor. Standing at the apex of these creatures are the priests of Mordiggian, the "god of the hiding place", who are the rulers of the old days, and the purple-robed man in front of them is one of them.

Mordicgian forbade his members to kill or feed on human corpses for no reason. Even so, there are still some crazy creatures who do not hesitate to rebel against Morkidian and secretly attack humans. The priests of Mordiggian have been hunting them down, sometimes seeking the alliance of humans. Robin made a promise from them that if Robin spoke, the ghouls would help him three times......

Nothing happened tonight, and lawyer Robin was both happy and distressed. Fortunately, I am safe, and I am distressed that I wasted this favor in vain.

If I had known, I wouldn't have called for a vigil......

"We'll only help you three times in total, and this is the second time," I heard the purple-robed priest say indifferently, obviously in Dongying, but his English had a thick British accent, "This time it's over." And ......"

"What?" Robin glared. Could it be that this old guy wants to swallow it for the third time?

β€œβ€¦β€¦ I have a condition, if you do it," said the purple-robed priest leisurely, "this time it will be free, and the next time it will be counted from the second time." ”

"What?" Robin Selman was overjoyed. Could it be that the other party's rancid brain suddenly opened up and realized his own importance?

"I want you to introduce us to Mr. Chen Qiang Chen," the purple-robed priest said, unable to see the expression under his mask, "If you can do it, my clan won't mind helping you one more time." ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Go to him for that kind of thing! Isn't there also your members in Huaguo! I don't know him well! Robin said to himself.

"If he refuses to come, tell him," admonished the old priest, as if he was not at ease, "my people have a secret way of entering Arkham. He'll come. ”

When they met, they were using Lao Xu's relationship to pull family life, and the priest said in his heart.

"You guy, do you understand?" The young ghoul who accompanied the priest said that he spoke typical "Japanese-style English".

"I will do it," I saw lawyer Robin Selman bow politely, and a perfectly standardized smile appeared on his face that he had cultivated over many years of legal career, "Mr. Chen Qiang and I hit it off at first sight." Please wait for my good news. ”

……

Moment.

In a hot spring inn.

"I'm against that," Sayoko said, "and we're going to have as many ways of transportation as we need to get to the country." There is no need to resort to ...... Suspicious people. ”

As soon as the group was about to hold a meeting on the Arkham issue, Robin threw out this suggestion.

"My friends aren't suspicious," Robin Selman smiled, "and they're really capable of helping us." If we want to secretly enter Arkham to investigate, their power is indispensable. ”

Chen Qiang pondered for a while, and the Eye of the Secret Keeper silently activated.

The lawyer apparently believes in his friend, but the problem is that even if the lawyer himself is "well-intentioned", it does not mean that he has not been deceived by others.

However, now that he is strong, it doesn't hurt to meet his so-called friends.

"Xiaobai, you stay," Chen Qiang said to Bai Shaobao, "stay with Shi Li." ”

"I'm staying with Yat-sen too," said Erika Fujiwara, "I've discussed it with Yat-sen, just in case, let's not get together." ”

"Xiaoxue, are you okay?" Chen Qiang looked at his girlfriend.

"I'm fine." Xiaoxue gestured and made an OK gesture.

Chen Qiang took a deep breath.

"Then divide the left-behind group and the exploration group like this," he said, "let's go, without further ado, let's get as soon as possible." We'll talk about the rest as we go. ”
