Arkham Asylum.

In the afternoon, the patients were crowded into the small courtyard. The weather was hot and dry, and a small clash broke out between the crowd fighting for shade under the shade of the trees, and the guards shouted loudly, and several people were beaten to the point that their noses were blue and their faces were swollen.

People with a sense of justice may find it absurd that this scene, which was still unpleasant a hundred years ago, can appear in the United States in the 21st century.

Oddly enough, every patient who has left Arkham Asylum has so far praised the hospital's service, and even expressed some nostalgia, as if the asylum was their true home.

Chen Qiang's patient in the virtual world, Bigby, crouched on the ground, curled up in a corner of the courtyard. His back was hunched, and his face looked like a shriveled mummy, old enough to sink into the grave at any moment.

No one wanted to go near this shriveled little old man, even the madman in the asylum.

Mr. Michael, with his unkempt hair, was one of the few people willing to approach him. Even Chen Qiang, who had seen Bigby in the virtual world, now had to work hard to recognize him as so decadent in the real world, but Michael's appearance was exactly the same as in the virtual world.

"Bigby."

Bigby glanced at his old friend and didn't speak.

"It's almost time," Michael whispered, "it's time to tell me—what happened after they took you away?" ”

Michael knew that every patient who leaves an insane asylum cannot have his brain intact. Memory loss is the treatment of the lucky ones, and some people have become no longer their former selves inside.

And Bigby, who was taken away and sent back, still looked in his normal mind, but his whole person became older and decrepit, almost a different person. Strangely, with the Migo's extensive experience in human dissection, Michael was able to conclude that Bigby's life was tougher.

"What duty do I have to tell you," Bigby scoffed, "I'm the Great Magician. Even if they want to do something to me, they have to weigh their own pounds. ”

"I had a dream yesterday," Michael whispered, "that we had a new patient. He was a sage of the ancient kingdom of Hua, Xuanjun, and the national teacher of the Great Xia Dynasty, possessing extraordinary wisdom and powerful allies. With their answer, the three of us escaped from the asylum together. ”

"How could Xuanjun be caught."

"That's what I said......"

"Not necessarily. Look, how did you and I get caught? I'm still Merlin. ”

"You're just an impostor."

"Then you're Migo's shame."

"I was just framed. When I get out, I'm going to kill them all......"

Neither of them noticed that directly above, in the dean's office, with a clear window, a strange man in a top hat and an old-fashioned suit, dressed like a nineteenth-century English gentleman, was overlooking everything in the courtyard.

The sun was scorching, and the air conditioner was not turned on in the office, but there was not a drop of sweat on the man's body.

"The 'Old Dominator's Passage of Power in the Living World' has not yet been achieved," he frowned, fiddling with the yellow seal pendant embedded in the jade around his neck, "There is still a little fire left before it can be used as a weapon. Need...... More time as well as ...... Stimulate. ”

……

A black pickup truck drove slowly down the road on the outer wall of the madhouse. After getting rid of Officer Barker, Chen Qiang and the others went around the city in a circle, and then wandered around the madhouse.

Chen Qiang, Qin Yat-sen, and Ceci Lu all remember very well: in the virtual world, it was on this street that they witnessed the endgame of the arrival of the two gods. However, at this moment, everything seems extremely calm. Sunny.

Chen emphasized the "mythical map" on his mobile phone to expand the search range to the maximum.

If he appropriates the "glass altar" (mythical monitor) set up in D City, or enters a carpet search of the streets and alleys of Arkham, Chen Qiang is confident that he will use the mythological radar to dig out all the mysterious elements of Arkham.

However, since the police of Arkham have already alarmed the local snake, it is better not to be too ostentatious. The glass altar is too large to be carried from the ghoul's underground passage, which will inevitably attract some people's attention.

Chen Qiang didn't want to be regarded as a "despicable foreigner" in the eyes of the local citizens, wasting the advantage of the enemy's open and dark in vain.

On the "Mythical Map", several points of light are quickly displayed.

Double-digit white dots of light that Chen Qiang guessed were asylum guards and nurses, pacing back and forth in the corridors and yards. There are also two green dots of light (one of which is only a wall away from oneself), and both of them are extremely bright, belonging to a very powerful "superior race".

But Chen Qiang stared at the corner of the courtyard nested in the courtyard, motionless and dazzling.

It is the purple color that represents the "Old Dominator".

“……”

There is a green spot near the purple dot and a few white dots a little farther away.

However, it was as if the purple dots were not visible for the other spots. Chen Qiang judged that they were still focused on doing their own thing.

Chen Qiang looked at the sky—the sky was clear, the wind was smooth, and there was no sign of darkness like when the old ruler came.

"Boss, what are you looking at?" Cecilu looked at Chen Qiang suspiciously, and Chen Qiang stared at the purple corner of the map with monster-like eyes, even though there was actually only a wall and air.

“…… It's nothing. ”

There is no sign of anything being there.

Either an old ruler with stealth abilities or an unrecognizable eye, or an item with divine powers.

Just as the books that change from The King in Yellow will also be identified as purple, it is possible that other important mythological items may have similar treatment.

Chen Qiang suddenly had an impulse to climb over the wall and see if there was really a super short old ruler on the other side of the wall.

Then, as if reading his thoughts, yes, the system automatically pops up a prompt to discover a new mission objective.

[Control or cut off the power passage of Quache Utaus, the one who walks through the dust in this world: incomplete]

……

Kache Utaus, a mysterious ruler of the old days, resembles a dwarf, dwarf mummy, a shadowy ghost of decay, antiquity, and desolation.

However, except for Chen Qiang, who has read the "treatise" of the setting book, the description of Quache Utaus is extremely rare, and there is no record of it in the famous "Book of the Necromy", or "The Seven Chapters of the Secret Book of Xuanjun", "Graki Apocalypse", and "Codex Nakot".

The only surviving book in the world that records the name of Quache Utauus is the Testament of Canamargos.

Kwache Utauss is an indifferent and terrifying deity. Those who come into contact with the Quache Utaus deity will immediately age and die, after which they will scatter into a pile of dust.

Walking through the dust, all things are decaying.

It is said that a human was able to make a pact with Quache Utautaus, who would gradually twist his spine into an arch and give him unimaginable strength.
