Thirty minutes later.

Because the female clerk was reluctant to bid, Chen Qiang left with his suitcase after leaving his contact information.

"We're being targeted."

Cescilu, the bodyguard who met Chen Qiang on the street corner, said in a low voice.

"I noticed." Chen Qiang said softly.

Elizabeth, the female clerk, photographed only the first few pages of the ancient books. If Pickman could understand the "meaning", he would soon be trying to find a non-existent figure like "Chen Jian" in Arkham Town......

The lost work of the ancient Greek philosopher Democritus, The Great Cosmic Order. Chen Qiang chose it because it has a coaxing name and, to a little, it involves a trembling black hole at the center of the universe.

It was one of the ancient lost books he had unearthed from the Skeleton Eater's library, transcribed by Helena herself, and then processed by the staff of the N Network, which could be described as a forgery of human ingenuity - in fact, it was similar to the real thing.

Pickman was able to easily tell that the contents of the book were genuine. Whether Pickman recognized Chen Qiang, a mysterious visitor to the East, as a member of the Skeleton Eaters, or a human seller who genuinely sold treasures, he would not easily "let go" of Chen Qiang.

To Chen Qiang's surprise, as soon as he left the pawnshop, the strong man who was sitting in the café across the street and monitoring the pawnshop door secretly followed him.

【？？？ Tracking check failed 47/10]

However, Chen Qiang and Sai Qian, who were extremely vigilant, had already seen his movements.

"Get in the car."

Chen Qiang and Ceci Lu got into the bulletproof pickup truck parked at the intersection. Old maps indicate that it was once the site of the "House of the Witches" – after the collapse of the House of the Witches in the thirties, apartments were built on the site for blacks and Puerto Ricans, but Oriental people are still extremely rare.

Qin Yat-sen was sitting in the driver's seat of the pickup truck.

Uncle Xu and the other ghouls made a lot of effort to get Chen Qiang's car out of the underground tunnel. Green Delta got a temporary license plate for it.

"Dump him." Chen Qiang pointed to the big man behind him, concise and to the point.

The Qin family master glanced at the hurried tracker from the rearview mirror and stepped on the accelerator.

"It's a layman. Feel relieved. Qin Yixian said lightly.

The Qin family originally planned to stay with his sister, but Xiaoxue sent him to support Chen Qiang as much as possible. So Qin Yixian did so.

Qin Lingxue's psychotherapy is crucial, and her pressure should be reduced as much as possible at this time, isn't it?

【Qin Yat-sen Automobile Driving Examination 25/75 Success】

Apparently, the stalker didn't expect that the shabby gentleman, who had just left the pawnshop, would suddenly get into a car and go away at almost speed.

【？？？ Lucky check 95/60 failed】

By the time he finally pulled down a taxi and tried to follow, it was too late.

He could only watch as Chen Qiang's car disappeared into the dark streets of Arkham.

"It's a conspiracy," said the burly man, sitting in the cab, with an ugly face, "an Oriental with a raw face...... There are some new forces planning to play a role in Arkham. ”

"Where are we going, sir?" The taxi driver asked.

"Go to the police, I have to report it...... No," the burly man changed his mind abruptly, "go to Mita." ”

He paused, and took out his police ID: "I'm a police officer." Don't tell anyone about my ride. ”

Historically, Arkham police officers have learned to turn a blind eye to petty cases on the streets, and have hardly dared to provoke the strange groups in town.

However, after the advent of the information age, the Arkham Police Department has investigated several old cases in a row, which have won universal praise from the citizens.

Chen Qiang and Qin Yat-sen judged that the local police organization was likely to be in collusion with the mysterious forces, so they did not take the initiative to contact them.

However, the town of Arkham has been able to maintain basic order for so many years, and the police officers who have been doing the aftermath work have indeed contributed a lot......

"Mita. Okay," the driver repeated, "Officer Barker." ”

He saw Buck's name on his police badge.

[Buck Investigation Test 92/85 Failed]

The absent-minded Buck didn't notice that not far behind him, a woman wearing a helmet and riding a blue motorcycle quietly followed from behind. M.biQuge.biZ

"I've got on track." Sayoko on the motorcycle calmly sent a report to Chen Qiang through the walkie-talkie.

At present, the "Fortress of Reason" is strong and strong, and of course it will not be only Cecilu and Qin Yixian who are responsible for receiving Chen Qiang. Once the situation changes, according to the predetermined plan, when Chen Qiang gets rid of the tracking, it will be the turn of the unfortunate tracker to be counter-tracked.

……

Chen Qiang's car.

"Did you say Pickman would take the bait?" Qin Yixian, who drove the car back to the Miskanitok Hotel, asked boredly.

"It's hard to say," Chen Qiangwei groaned, "but compared to hospitals and convalescent centers, pawnshops are already our best choice." ”

"Doesn't he still have a gallery?" Qin Yixian, who had always been steady, whistled rarely.

"Do you know art?" Chen Qiang rolled his eyes.

"I don't understand," Qin Yixian said simply, "but I understand those painted models." ”

Pickman's work depicts the life of a ghoul race, filthy, hideous, and disgusting. He also depicts the history of Arkham and Salem, as well as other unspeakable and eerie landscapes.

Now, all sorts of mythical creatures will become his models.

"I'm not going to let my staff be models for the old ghoul Pickman." When he thinks of Pickman's painting, Chen Qiang can't help but feel a chill. Pickman rarely portrays normal human bodies, but perhaps the ontology of Gu Shiyin and Iss will be his targets.

"Actually, I secretly went to the gallery to see it," Qin Yat-sen said, "I can only say that the art world in the 21st century is far more tolerant than it was a hundred years ago, especially in the 'ugliness' has made great progress." A hundred years ago, these deviant works caused many of his relatives to leave their homeland, but now, there are fans who come from abroad to 'admire' his works. ”

"How can there be foreign fans?"

He put on his 'Attack on Ghoul' last month...... Ahh Want to see more of the author's work? Come to Arkham'. That's what it is. ”

"Isn't there anyone in charge?" Chen Qiang complained, "This kind of thriller picture...... It didn't even cause social news. ”

"After all, everyone is talking about the 'fortress of reason'," Qin Yixian said gently, "except for art lovers, who would pay attention to the inconspicuous old painters in the small town of Mi Guo?" When I was having a meal in Arkham's restaurant, I could hear the next table talking about your company with great interest. Dude, I think sooner or later you will become the engine of the world economy. ”
