This ghoul named Pickman is very famous, Chen Qiang thought, he was very active in the original work of Luo Lao in his previous life, and later went to the dream realm. It is not known if this person and the elder are referring to the same person.

However, was he so rich when he was on Earth?

"The institute does not study nuclear energy, but collects dangerous objects from all over the world," the old priest muttered, "such as the fragments of the Yu-Nansha slate in Morocco, and the fragments of Lalaye in the Pacific—"

Kehira's gaze was wandering, and he suddenly looked at the old priest. The ghoul's red eyes, Kehira's green eyes, the two sides stared at each other.

Kshira: ( ̄_, ̄)

Elder:(⊙_⊙)

A second later, the old ghoul was intimidated.

He didn't know why he was cowardly, but as soon as he looked at Khira, he was instantly stunned......

“…… Forget it, it doesn't matter," he sighed, "hey, it's kind of fun to think about those days." ”

“…… Why the Nuclear Energy Institute? Chen Qiang asked curiously.

"We Skeleton Eaters have a famous saying, 'Curiosity kills you.'" Putting up a warning sign that says 'Radiation, don't come close' can at least keep idle idlers away from those things. ”

“…… Thanks for the suggestion. ”

Human curiosity knows no bounds, and that's a good idea.

"That's all in the past," the old priest looked away, "and then Pickman cut us off—and that's not unusual, the Nuclear Energy Institute was underfunded and had to be shut down." Hey, in fact, even if the funds are abundant, the institute will not last long. There is a handful of ambitious congressmen in the United States who have their eyes on those things. If we hadn't teamed up with Project Oath to stop it, a giant portal would have opened on Earth to a trembling black hole. You know what that means, right? ”

"It's not easy for us to stand here and talk." Chen Qiang complained. I don't know if the "Oath Project" at that time was infiltrated by Naia and Miss Yi - this universe is so dangerous, and the earth has not been blown up by any madman so far, which is really a miracle.

"I remember those dangerous items," Ceccilu interjected, "some of us Green Delta later took over, and some of them I remember were taken by the Eaters......

She finally finished her burger.

"Since then, our Eaters have evacuated Arkham, and Pickman, who once presided over Arkham's work, has disappeared with his tribe in the deepest part of the Dreamland," the old priest said calmly, "but now, he has returned, once again to the Arkham region. If you, the Fortress of Sanity, are to be stationed in Arkham, I hope to ...... You should keep an eye out for Pickman's movements. ”

[New mission for the campaign "Arkham Gods" has been unlocked, currently known for 4/7]

[Complete the commission of Mordikian, the god of the Hiding Place.] Current Status: Incomplete】

“…… Ha. ”

The prompt of the system made Chen Qiang smile.

……

"What is he still hesitating about?"

On the ground, Helena wondered.

……

The secluded underground passage is filled with an air of cold and dead silence.

In the workshop in the distance, ghouls toiled hard.

Some collectors collect rotting meat from animal remains, and once the bones and blood have been stripped away, the porters transport the bones with the writing written deep underground.

Other elders and priests are responsible for instructing newly "awakened" ghouls, educating them on how to maintain their human form and resist the mad urge to scavenge.

Chen Qiang thought for a while.

Very good......

At least Mordicgian, who is an ally rather than an opponent in this campaign, is a friendly NPC in charge of missions.

It is said that Mordicgian is a "subordinate old ruler", but it is clear that the hidden strength of this god of the Hiding House is much stronger than it seems. ŴŴŴ.BiQuGe.Biz

"I guess," Chen narrowed his eyes, "Pickman didn't say goodbye when he left, and he didn't say hello to you when he came back." ”

"By the time we noticed, he had already opened a lot of businesses around Arkham in his son's name," said the elder, "and as far as I knew, there was a gallery, an orthopedic treatment center in Salem, and a retirement retreat for college professors." ”

Chen Qiang clasped his hands to his chest. So far, Pickman's story sounds a lot like that of a wealthy businessman returning home normally.

"We doubt...... They are replacing livestock with 'human bones,'" the elder said, "collecting the knowledge left over from ancient civilizations on the bones of the living." ”

"Gathering knowledge through human bones?" Chen Qiang narrowed his eyes.

The bones of the whole body of the big living person crawled out of the "handwriting" alive.

It's so cruel that it makes people go crazy just thinking about it.

But since the bones of livestock can be used, Pickman doesn't need to take the risk of dissecting humans, right?

"The knowledge of human civilization can be reproduced only from the bones of livestock," said the high priest, "but if you want to reproduce a greater civilization......

He pointed to Gu Shiyin: "For example, to restore the glorious civilization of this one of our ancestors, livestock alone is not enough. The Ancients are more powerful than humans, and the bones of civilized races must be used to recover the knowledge they have lost. ”

Chen Qiang nodded slightly. That's understandable.

"Pickman is searching for forbidden knowledge," said the elder, "and we don't know his purpose." ”

"So what can we do as a 'bastion of sanity'? We're just a small startup, and you Eaters are powerful and outnumbered. ”

Little start-up, your sister! The elder slandered.

"Pickman and his gang have planted an enchantment, and the Skeleton Eaters will be discovered as soon as they get close to his estate. So, we wanted to ask the humans who are allied with us to help investigate. If it's you, you should be able to do it. ”

"Oh......" Chen Qiang's mind turned sharply.

System tasks are mandatory, however......

Without bargaining, how can you squeeze more benefits out of it?

Although he didn't know that the old man was the embodiment of Mordicgian, he was only a messenger of Mordicgian, and he was entrusting the "Fortress of Reason" with his affairs.

Just promised to come down, it's too cheap for them, Chen Qiang thought. They could have left the same thing to other organizations.

Chen Qiang pondered for a while, pacing back and forth in the corridor.

"Mr. Chen Qiang," Seeing that Chen Qiang was silent, the elder looked a little anxious, "Your 'Fortress of Reason' is the ...... of the emerging investigator organization of the human race."

"I beg your pardon for refusing." Chen Qiang said.

"What?" The old priest suspected that he had misheard.

"I beg your pardon for refusing," Chen said, "and the work of saving the world goes to Green Delta and N Network." 'Fortress of Sanity' is a gaming company with little experience in saving the world. ”
