Chapter 216: Who's the Enemy, Who's the Boss, Who Is the Friend?

I, Gepp, semi-Hugues.

When I saw the other person's face, I realized that I might be in big trouble.

"Mr. Chen?"

The "Fortress of Reason" is all too familiar to me.

I secretly filled out the "Bastion of Sanity" playtest qualification application form (in order to increase the probability of being selected, I used multiple identities that I hid so that I could change my face at will; The Witch of Dreams is above, and Mr. Shaney doesn't find out about it) can't help but think: perhaps, like us, they have the ultimate ideal of the return of many of the old rulers.

Boss Shani has said that the mysterious "bastion of sanity" is likely to be the same as our Shogoths, relying on a human company that is operating normally, and that the company is actually dominated by a powerful non-human being.

According to the intelligence analysis we have, the race behind this scene may be the Is. But the high-profile style of the "Bastion of Reason" is very different from that of Is.

Mr. Shani believes that the virtual reality of the "bastion of sanity" may be aimed at spreading more occult knowledge.

In this way, we can now coexist peacefully, and my actions are not considered to be collaborators.

However, now, I suddenly feel that things are not as simple as I imagined......

"It's me. Hello. Mr. Chen Qiang said.

…… If it weren't for seeing him in this situation, I really wanted to shout "Mr. Chen, I want to play a game"!

Calm down, Gep, calm down.

The fortress of sanity hid the ancient one. But Chen Qiang, the boss on the table, I didn't feel the breath of the ancients from him.

Is the entire "Bastion of Sanity" under the control of the Ancients, or is the Ancients just one of their technicians?

If it was the former, then Mr. Shaney would have a headache; But if it's the latter, then there's room for maneuver between us Shogos and the "Bastion of Reason".

In Shani's opinion, all remaining Ancients must be disposed of by the Shogues.

I don't think there's any point in doing that—maybe because I haven't lived hundreds of millions of years......

I don't know if Billy is still alive. I even began to pray in my heart that Billy was dead—so that I could negotiate with the "Fortress of Reason" in the open, and on the condition that we would not pursue Billy's death, they would hand over the Ancients they had sheltered.

But if Billy is captured by them, then it will be difficult for us to make a condition, after all, in their opinion, we are the first to attack.

……

"Gep?" Seeing that the black brother's expression changed in place, that is, he did not change his body, Chen Qiang tentatively called out his name.

What is this guy thinking about Mao?

[Chen Qiang's charm test with punishment 20/33 success]

???

What the hell is this test for?

Dude, your brain...... Well, Hughes doesn't seem to have a brain. What is your Shogues colloidal pondering?

……

"Gep."

Mr. Chen called out my name. His approach was both indifferent and confident, just like Mr. Shanney's usual shouting, with the temperament of a superior who knew everything well.

At this time, I was convinced that the other party must not be an ordinary human, but an existence as noble as Mr. Shani.

"Mr. Chen." I obediently bowed my head.

Our world is also a world of the jungle. Even the lords of Shogues can clash with each other over territory, not to mention alien races.

The "Bastion of Sanity" has extraordinary technology. As the biggest boss of the fortress of sanity, Mr. Chen must also have terrifying power. In front of Mr. Chen, I still have a good strategy.

We Shogoths are good at saving lives (in my favorite game terms, they're meaty and have a lot of defense), but the speed of the Shogues has made us never good at escaping.

The full moon hangs high.

To my surprise, Mr. Chen posed for a weird pose. When I was working to fish (Mr. Shani didn't know), I once watched an anime called Lelouch, and he is now acting very much like the middle school disease named Lelouch.

……

Chen Qiang's face was indifferent.

Mr. Shani, my employees are still mine, and your employees will soon be mine with the secret.

Dice verification alone is unreliable. For the most part, charisma skills don't work on creatures that are completely hostile, and while it's unknown why this is the exception, Chen Qiang doesn't want to bet the opponent's loyalty on a charisma check.

The Mind Pool consumed by the move "Farewell to the Gods" is related to the Mind dropped by witnessing the mythical creature, and unlike his terrifying compatriots, it only takes 10 Mind Pool to control Gep.

"Order in the name of Chen Qiang—" Chen Qiang, who was wearing a translator's headset, said in the language of a flute. After the processing of Gu Shiyin, now Chen Qiang only needs to whisper into the translator's headset, and his mobile phone will instantly "translate" his words loudly.

Gepp, who was successful in psychology of "Wait ......", suddenly had a very bad feeling, and the invisible aura on the other party even surpassed that of his master, Mr. Shani.

What to do?

First strike?

Gepp's choice was decisive.

Qin Yat-sen and Mrs. Megan were dumbfounded.

Chen Qiang and the black man suspected of being Rutgers looked at each other for a few seconds, called each other a few times, and then the black man turned around and ran away like a mouse seeing a cat!

But unlike Lelouch, the system gave Chen Qiang's "other gods" without looking at the eyes to work......

[Current Wisdom Pool: 147]

“…… Surrender to the bastion of sanity. Gepu clearly heard Chen Qiang's words.

……

Ghoul night school.

Mr. Pickman is also explaining to his ghoul cadets what it means to "save grandpa from a gourd baby."

"Who is the gourd baby?" A particularly short ghoul asked.

"The gourd baby is ...... You can understand it as...... Some of the messengers of the Old Gods," said Mr. Pickman, in order to make it easier for the students to understand, "there were seven of them, but when their summoners were kidnapped by the enemy, they went to save them one by one, and were defeated by the enemy one by one. Later, the seven of them swarmed up, and the enemy was quickly defeated. ”

"Oh......" The ghouls seemed to understand.

"This story teaches us: to deal with the enemy, we must go up together, not one by one. In short, this is just a metaphor, Huluwa is just an animated character, don't pay special attention. ”

"What is animation?" A ghoul asked timidly.

Just as Pickman resisted the urge to continue explaining, a text message rang on his phone.

"Is it Elizabeth again?"

Pickman remembered that a few hours earlier, the store's female clerk had just called back. Elizabeth finally contacted the man who called himself Chen Jian (Chen Qiang was still escorting Billy at that time), and "Chen Jian" chose to contact Pickman himself on the campus of U-M. Hawkman, and no one else was seen.

It was a text message from the official Arkham City.
