Chapter 220: The Feast of the Demons: Madness
In the temporary base of "Green Delta" and "N Network".
At first, in addition to self-blame ("The duty of a bodyguard is to protect the employer at all times!"). Cecilu, everyone didn't worry too much about Chen Qiang's solo attack. He left a text message saying "I'll go out and lie down", and it is well known that Chen Qiang likes to act alone.
However, an hour has passed, Chen Qiang doesn't say back, and he doesn't make a phone call (everyone is afraid that Chen Qiang is in a crisis and dare not take the initiative to call him), and the location can't be found, which is very worrying.
Unbeknownst to everyone, the sinister Stefana had turned on the signal blocking in the hotel......
Considering that Qin Lingxue's spiritual treatment was about to end, maybe Chen Qiang sneaked back to Qin Lingxue's side through the ghoul passage. Thinking like this, Qin Yixian dialed Helena's phone.
……
It is night in the rice country, but it is morning in the land of China on the other side of the ocean.
"You said Mr. Chen Qiang?" Helena shook her head, "No, he didn't come here. I just called him again, but I couldn't get through. However, Xiaoxue's treatment is over. ”
Qin Yixian sighed.
"I know," the Qin family muttered, he had already seen Chen Qiang as his brother-in-law, and couldn't help but be very worried, "I hope he's okay." What about Xiaoxue? ”
"Her mental condition is much more stable than expected," says Helena gently, "and the treatment is very good." Now, she'll sleep peacefully for a while. ”
"So, her memory ......"
"I wanted to be the first to tell Mr. Chen Qiang – I think she would be fully recovered when she woke up."
"Thank you very much, Ms. Helena. As for Mr. Chen, we are also looking for him," Qin Yixian's face became more and more solemn, "Arkham is so big. It doesn't matter where he goes......"
"You should trust Mr. Chen Qiang," said Helena, "but you, Erika has complained to me more than once these days, saying that she can't see you." Anyway, you can also learn from Mr. Chen and use a virtual helmet to meet her. ”
Qin Yixian smiled awkwardly. In the past few days, his fiancée Erika Fujiwara, as Helena's assistant, has been taking care of Xiaoxue, and he makes a routine phone call every day.

"When you find Mr. Chen, you can go and accompany Erika," Helena read his thoughts from Qin Yixian's voice, "Now Xiaoxue doesn't need me here, I will also go to Arkham's side." I heard that it is a town with beautiful mountains and rivers, and maybe I can build a branch of the Theosophical Society there. ”
"It couldn't be better that you'd be willing to help." Qin Yixian said sincerely.
"You should have more trust in Mr. Chen Qiang. On the bright side, he may be having a big dinner with a group of new friends in a lively hall. ”
……
Arkham Airport Hotel.
Banquet hall.
Dean Gu Shun was very depressed and drank all the red wine in his hand.
Originally, he was the protagonist today: he was supposed to arrest Bigby and Michael in one fell swoop with the full support of the people of the city, proving that the madhouse is capable of dealing with any crisis; He also got a sample of the "Projection of the Power of Quache Utaus" that he had in mind.
It's obviously two happy things that overlap together...... But why? Why is this happening?
The press conference was forcibly cancelled. All of the human staff of the asylum were turned away - the damned hilichurls had no respect for themselves. In the end, Dean Gu Shun only brought a tall and mighty Kunyang bodyguard and a Leng clan manservant and hurriedly entered.
Stephana leaves, and the divers who have hurried from the river and the ghouls who arrive first have a small clash over the position of waiter.
The Kunyang bodyguard with bronzed cheeks protected Dean Gu Shun behind him.
"Don't bother." Gu Shun said arrogantly, watching Xu Dra, and Pickman stop the quarrel between his subordinates.
He took a glass of cold red wine from the hands of the diminutive Leng servant and drank it down. In the scorching summer, the Leng man wore a fat robe to hide his horns and hooves, which were very different from normal humans.
"At least I'm eligible for a seat." Sitting on the hexagonal dining chair, Gu Shun was satisfied.
A large banquet hall that can accommodate nearly 100 people at the same time, but at the moment there are only twelve seats. There is a separate dining table in front of each seat.
Centered on a stereoscopic projector placed in the center of the ballroom, the twelve thrones are connected in a strange arc that is neither semicircular nor elliptical, or parabolic and hyperbola. Gu Shun sat on the seat closest to the entrance, literally accompanying the last seat.
"Someone's coming." Gu Shun's heart moved.
Two figures walked into the banquet hall one after the other.
"It turned out to be ...... The boss of the Fortress of Sanity? Gu Shun, who has been active in human society all year round, recognized Chen Qiang at a glance, and couldn't help but widen his eyes.
……
Those two are naturally Stifhana and Chen Qiang.
In the spacious ballroom, twelve spacious hexagonal chairs were connected in an eerie arc, and most people could only stand. To Chen Qiang's surprise, although the people in the hall were ugly and deformed, what caught his attention at first was not those creatures with two hands and feet and facial features, but the three-dimensional projection device located in the center of the banquet hall.
In the center of the dark background, a cube shimmers with magnificent light, tumbling from the inside out. At a certain moment, Chen Qiang was very sure that it flashed a seventh plane that it could not exist geometrically.

【1D6=1】
“……”
Chen Qiang decisively gave up trying to continue to count how many facets there were in that thing.
The eyes of the entire hall were focused on Chen Qiang and Stefana. Not far away, a group of men with prominent "Innsmouth looks" bowed to Chen Qiang and Stephana: the bulging heads of these half-human, half-fish creatures were unpleasant, even in human clothing.

[Chen Qiang's sanity test failed 94/43]

[Due to the influence of "spiritual solidification", the actual loss is 2 points, and the current sanity is 41]
After being mentally prepared, the appearance of these deep divers is not too scary, but the pungent smell on their bodies is still unbearable.
“……”
Resisting the urge to spit out on the spot, Chen Qiang silently added his reason back to the full value of 44.
[Current Wisdom Pool: 132]
All eyes were on Chen Qiang—apparently, everyone was curious about the guest that Stefana had personally greeted.
Chen Qiang noticed that the hexagonal chairs had three different sizes: the four seats closest to the unspeakable polyhedron in the center were the largest; The middle two are second; The outer six sheets are the smallest.
A one-eyed old man with the appearance of an Indian country sat on the deepest throne, looking at Chen Qiang kindly. The second and third thrones are left blank, and on the fourth throne is Miss Yi.
Below, the fifth seat of the second largest seat was left empty, and in sixth place was Khira, who was staring at her phone and refused to let go.
The seats on either side of Kehira were empty. On the eighth and ninth seats sat a man and a woman with a distinctly Innsmouth appearance. The obese Mr. Shani — Mr. Chen saw his picture from Gerp's phone — sat in tenth place, and the eleventh was Pickman, whose real person was thinner than he looked on the TV camera. In the end, the twelfth person sitting was a Chinese, and Chen Qiang guessed that he was Mr. Gu Shun, the director of the madhouse.
