Elizabeth seemed to be in the universe, and in the distance, the light of the stars was rapidly fading away, falling into darkness.

Dean Gu Shun's entire body was empty, and there was nothing under his human skin. On the body of the Pickman Shiba Inu, there are densely carved gelatinous faces, each with a different expression. Mr. Shanee is a slime monster the size of a hill, with a turquoise torso containing human organs large and small. Dagon and Xudra were giants, with scaly blue skin and several asymmetrical arms beneath their misshapen heads. The musician has no physical body at all, just a sound – or a wave – that travels through the universe?

"You ......," a voice seemed to sound from a long distance. In the faint and eerie sound of the flute, this voice seemed particularly intellectual.

But Elizabeth still couldn't look away. Her gaze was on the girl in the dark green dress, Khira's body was huge and pitch-black, with countless blood-red tentacles growing on the back, each with a retractable claw hook on the back. Not far from her, Quache Utaus was like a mummy wrinkled by countless years, with a shriveled head, jagged limbs, and bony hands that remained straight forward.

However, just as her gaze swept away deeper into the darkness, those more majestic existences, Chen Qiang stood up from the throne.

The picture of perfection is shattered, and the illusion is interrupted. She was back in the noisy ballroom.

[Elizabeth sanity test 99/56 failed]

"A mortal who wasn't ready." The primeval Eternal, umr Yat Tavel, looked at Elizabeth with pity.

"You said that," Chen Qiang's face sank, "it's not magic. ”

"What does the poetry of mankind say?" Stephana glanced at Chen Qiang with a smile, "'I don't know the true face of Lushan, only because I am in this mountain'." ”

Your power is also part of the picture, and you yourself are not aware of it.

"Just as children imitate adults, we imitate the real trembling court," says Stepana, "and it's a work of art, not magic." ”

[Elizabeth Miller's Remaining Sanity 5]

【Current Secret Keeper Wisdom Pool 186】

The pool of reason rises violently, while Elizabeth maintains the shooting pose and does not move. The camera recorded the banquet hall as usual, but the reality of the darkness of the universe was permanently imprinted in her mind.

Elizabeth Cthulhu Mythos Skill Up 5

"Very timely judgment," Miss Yi said coldly, "Mr. Chen, if you stay in your seat for another five seconds, this woman's brain will be hopeless." ”

Chen Qiang walked up to Elizabeth and took the phone out of her stiff hand. Elizabeth then began to tremble violently, and then wept.

Chen Qiang put Elizabeth's phone back in her pocket and patted her on the shoulder. Elizabeth curled up at Chen Qiang's feet like a child.

"Temporary 'dependency,'" said Stephana with interest, "you see, it was you for the first and the last time she just saw her. Probably to her, you're the most amiable person here. As a clinical psychologist, I suggest that you should encourage her. ”

Chen Qiang glanced at his own sanity pool.

Elizabeth provided him with over fifty points of the Wisdom Pool Harvest. Even if you can't do it, you should try to comfort her.

"It's okay," Chen Qiang said gently, "what you just saw was nothing but an illusion. You're just overworked. You are here now, a safe place. The 'Fortress of Sanity' will help you get better. ”

[Chen Qiang's Psychoanalytic Examination with Rewards Succeeded on 8/21]

The "psychoanalytical" skill covers a variety of emotional healing. This skill does not immediately restore sanity, but it is enough to help the patient distinguish between illusion and reality.

Probably because of the trust in Chen Qiang and the role of the word "fortress of reason", Elizabeth's completely gloomy eyes looked slightly brighter.

"She should be treated in my nursing home." Dean Gu Shun narrowed his eyes.

"No, she's my staff," Pickman was a little curious about how she got in, "and I'll be in charge of the staff's treatment." ”

If you put people in your hands, I am afraid that you will not see the sun tomorrow, and your sanity will be completely reduced to 0, Chen Qiang said in his heart. Elizabeth's initial sanity is 59, and she does not have a Cthulhu Mythos level, which is enough to show that she is not completely in the same boat as Pickman.

"She is temporarily taken over by the 'Fortress of Reason,'" Chen Qiang said in a loud voice, "Everyone, buy me face." ”

[Chen Qiang's credit rating with punishment was successful in 63/79]

Chen Qiang felt that the "credit rating" was useless in the existence of myths, but the system told him that his "credit rating" continued to take effect after eating the punishment, and I don't know if it was because Gu Shun and Pickman had a decent status in human society, or because Chen Qiang's seat in the hall gave them a great psychological impact.

"Since you say that," Pickman said indifferently, "I'll leave this useless employee to you first." ”

Gu Shun hesitated for a few seconds and nodded.

"Everyone is gathered today," Stephana also stood up, as if she had planned everything, "it's been a long time since Arkham's wizarding gathering was destroyed. ”

Pickman, a native of Arkham, bowed slightly. As a descendant of the Wizards of Salem, his family has been present throughout Arkham's history. Arkham in the 21st century has been relatively calm compared to a hundred years ago, and it is only recently that it has suddenly become extraordinary again.

"I know you have a lot of questions......"

Stephana raised her glass.

“…… Having come all the way to Arkham, there are many thoughts and plans," said Stepana, "and I will not interfere with your actions. I ask only one thing, unless you are ready for the last moments, and do not rush into the assault on 'human civilization' as a whole. ”

"I believe that only Mr. Chen Qiang and his 'bastion of sanity' are doing this, thank you." Gu Shun said.

"I warn you," Stephana's smile grew, "that I know that you are friends and enemies. In Arkham, you can settle your grudges in private......"

She paused: "...... But if any of you decide to turn the chessboard off and everyone rushes to attack it, then I don't need to say more. ”

"It's nature." Mr. Shaney agreed with a smile.

"Today is a day of rejoicing. From now on, until the first rays of the morning sun fall on Arkham, it is forbidden for you to attack each other, or to prepare for an attack, including stalking," Stephana said calmly, "and that's the last point I want to make. After the first rays of sunlight in the morning, you can act as you wish. Remember...... It was the first rays of sunshine in the morning. ”

[Chen Qiang's Psychological Examination with Punishment 51/52 Success]

…… Although he couldn't think of any other possibility than the literal meaning of this statement, Chen Qiang felt that it was strange to say this—he was ready to escape with a transformation super-speed, and Naia's order helped him a lot. In particular, the repeated emphasis on "the first ray of sunshine in the morning" made Chen Qiang feel that Stefana seemed to be looking forward to something.

"Cheers to Arkham!" Stephana raised her glass.
