In the virtual space of the "Bastion of Sanity".

The silver peaks under the canopy of the sky are endless, standing between heaven and earth. The blue sky is like a wash, and the sunlight shines on this emerald floating city suspended above the top of the snow-capped mountain, which is a magnificent sight.

As the core of the "Fortress of Reason", this snow-capped mountain city is only allowed to enter the core employees of the "Fortress of Reason" and a few important guests.

Using the virtual helmet, Chen Qiang can meet Qin Lingxue in China every day (in fact, it won't take long to go back through the ghoul channel), and he doesn't have to endure the pain of long-distance relationships and phone porridge like other couples who are thousands of miles away.

But today, Qin Lingxue did not appear in the virtual space on time.

"Helena?" Chen Qiang looked at the short-haired woman lying on the recliner on the observation deck in surprise.

This heroic investigator is one of the very few employees of the Irrational Fortress who Chen Qiang has allowed to enter the Emerald City.

"Where's Xiaoxue?"

"Her psychic healing is in its final stages," said Helena, who was dressed in a white casual suit, fiddling with her straw hat, "and I told her to go to an early rest." The treatment went well, and when you see her again tomorrow, she'll be able to tell you what happened to Arkham back then. ”

"Actually, I can find out myself." Chen Qiang muttered.

"Her father's disappearance is her greatest concern," Helena lamented, "and I look at her, and I am afraid that as soon as her memory is restored, she will come to Arkham." ”

"I understand," Chen Qiang nodded, "as long as she can maintain calm judgment, I will not force her to leave Arkham." ”

The future world self has hinted that simply letting Xiaoxue avoid Arkham will not solve the problem.

"Honorable Lady Helena," Chen Qiang leaned against the jade lamppost on the side, "and you have come to me suddenly now, not just for this purpose. ”

Helena nodded and got up from her recliner.

"I've got what you wanted," said the occultist, the alchemical products of the Atlanteans and the Lemurians, right? ”

"That's right. Thank you very much for your help, Ms. Helena. Chen Qiang said sincerely.

A while ago, Gu Shiyin had completed a reverse analysis of the mythical transformation belt. The metalwork of the "Atlanteans" and "Lemurians" was a necessity for the Shapeshifting Belt, but the current fortress of sanity could not be made without Helena's assistance.

"And ...... Liao Dan," Helena paused, "When Xiaoxue's treatment is over, I'll send it to you too." ”

"Liaodan" can temporarily project the mind of the user to other planes, and can be used to fight against the pursuit of the Tyndaros clan.

"Liaodan" is needed as a way to avoid the Tyndaros clan, and Mr. Chen is by no means an Is, Helena thought.

The Isis often travel through time and space, and have a special way of confusing the Tyndaros. However, even if the device is given to humans, or even taught them the relevant principles, only a very small number of people will be able to use this power safely.

"The sooner the better. Please. ”

His phone rang.

……

Chen Qiang quit the virtual world.

On the mobile phone, there was an extra text message.

“…… Scold. ”

[Stefana Edelquet].

"It's Nyarrathotep."

In Chen Qiang's contact list, Stefana, the avatar of Naia, is one of the people who belongs to the "special attention". So far, however, she has rarely taken the initiative to contact Chen Qiang.

【I'm at the airport hotel. Can you come over? 】

Looking at Stepana's letter, Chen Qiang showed an expression of "sure enough".

Concise messages are no different from human communication.

But Chen Qiang knew better than anyone in this world that every move of this messenger of the outer gods could not be taken lightly. Perhaps, behind the seemingly ordinary requests, there are terrifying traps.

But he didn't turn down Naia's invitation.

I'll come. His brief reply.

"Take Qin Yat-sen and Ceci Lu and take a trip."

When he returns, it's not too late to interrogate Gep slowly.

Satisfying her wishes is also one of the tasks given by the system, but I don't know what the "chaos of ambush" is planning behind the scenes this time.

【Chen Qiang's Psychology Examination 1/73 Great Success】

“……！”

Chen Qiang is a spirit.

Humans cannot comprehend the psychology of the outer gods. But Chen Qiang still instinctively realized it......

Behind Naia's concise text messages, there is a hidden intention that may be more than she imagined.

"No...... I'd better go on my own. ”

If Naia insists on making a big news, then the "Fortress of Reason" side is not "mentally prepared" to face Naia's invitation except for himself.

Maybe there is more than one divine existence on the other side, Chen Qiang thought, but even with Miss Yi, there is nothing to be afraid of.

Naia's invitation?

It's enough to go to the meeting on your own.

Chen Qiang believes that when the psychology dice are successful, the speculation that appears inexplicably in his mind must be right.

[Qin Yat-sen's investigation verification 98/76 failed]

While the bodyguard Mao Mei went to the toilet (her stomach suddenly didn't seem to be very good), Qin Yixian and his fiancée were absent-mindedly on the phone, and Chen Qiang slipped into his black pickup.

……

Arkham was extremely silent in the darkness of night.

Compared to the big cities, Arkham's nightlife is dull and boring. Most of the shops closed early, and only a few of the 24-hour shops were still lit. Chen Qiang didn't see the bars with their doors open, maybe they were all hidden in a nearby alley.

Chen Qiang received a call from Gao Yang Chengsan.

"Khira...... Picked up by her 'aunt and uncle'? In the car, listening to the contact from the Kamen Rider crew, Chen Qiang was suddenly startled.

The ordinary people in the crew did not show suspicion about the identity of "uncle and aunt", and it was not until it was completely dark that they contacted themselves on the grounds of "just in case", and there was no news about the secret stake of "Green Delta......

Chen Qiang didn't think that any mortal would be planning to kidnap Kehira (if anyone dared to do that, they would be unlucky). It could be a powerful spell of bewilderment.

Chen Qiang replied to Stephana with a text message.

[Are you the one who took Khira?] 】

[Kehira is with me now.] When you go back, you just pick her up. Stefana's reply came quickly.

I thought that Chen Qiang was still thinking about "Kehira is addicted to online articles now, should I call her", but now Stefana has helped herself save effort.

[Chen Qiang's lucky test was successful on 11/58]

The car radio broadcasts local Arkham news. A madman has escaped from Arkham Asylum, but the name of the madman is not revealed on the radio.

“…… And there can be no clowns or penguin people. ”

Chen Qiang tightened his grip on the steering wheel, fearing that some strange guy would suddenly come out and attack. However, the road was calm.

At night, the airport hotel is getting closer and closer. It was a ten-story circular building, with only a few windows lit up, like a devouring monster.
