Thirty minutes later.

Chen Qiang used a pickup truck to return to the chemical plant in the temporary base with the two newly harvested investigators, Michael and Elizabeth. Elizabeth slept soundly in the back seat, while poor Michael was once again stuffed into the crate.

As soon as the car stopped, a familiar silhouette came into his eyes.

"Xiaoxue!"

The sky was full of stars, Qin Lingxue was wearing a white dress and black stockings, standing at the gate of the chemical factory waiting for her. Without waiting for Chen Qiang to say anything, Qin Lingxue gave him a warm hug. Chen Qiang stroked her hair.

"Ahem!" Qin Yixian, who was not far away, coughed, reminding the two that there were still many "audiences" present.

Qin Lingxue blushed and separated from Chen Qiang. Not far away, Helena, dressed in a lilac dress, made a gesture of "everything is complete".

"Do you know how many times I've called you!" Qin Lingxue suddenly started her chatter, "You know, if you're also in danger, I'm ......"

"Okay," Chen Qiang put his hand on Xiaoxue's shoulder, "Look, I'm not fine." ”

Qin Yixian touched his chin.

"Xiaoxue she's really worried about you," he said, "she almost lost her father in Arkham and can't afford to lose you again." ”

"Almost." Chen Qiang immediately captured the point in Qin Yixian's words.

Two years ago, the detective team that disappeared in Arkham, except for Qin Lingxue, a survivor whose sanity was on the verge of collapse, should be defined as "completely wiped out".

"Uncle Yuantu...... He's alive? Chen Qiang asked in surprise. Qin Lingxue rarely mentioned her father, Qin Yuantu, to Chen Qiang, while Qin Yixian described him as a taciturn warrior.

Perhaps, Qin Lingxue, who has recovered her memory, has found the possibility that her father is alive in the depths of her memory?

"I can't say either...... To be exact, when Xiaoxue returned, Uncle Yuantu had indeed not died in the mission," Qin Yixian said, recalling Qin Lingxue's briefing, "But you see, the reality is not Dongying anime. The situation is a bit peculiar......"

Qin Yixian hesitated, but Qin Lingxue bravely opened her mouth.

"Dad, he's gone," Qin Lingxue said, "and stayed in 1920 to carry out the last mission." I think...... He ......"

Her voice was a little stiff, but she finally held back.

"1920?" Chen Qiang faintly understood the facts contained in Qin Lingxue's words.

Maybe that sounds incredible. Two years ago, Uncle Yuantu and Xiaoxue's team traveled back a hundred years ago, the early 20th century Arkham in Arkham Town," Qin Yixian said solemnly, "They have only been missing here for a few hours, but they have spent a few months on the other side." ”

"Xiaoxue's consciousness was protected from being targeted by the 'hounds,'" Helena said, "but that protection also took its toll: her memories were blurred, only intermittent fragments. ”

Chen Qiang was speechless for a long time. Qin Yuantu is still alive is the best ending, but a century of time makes people despair.

Even if Qin Yuantu had survived the danger, he would have passed away by now.

"But...... There's always a way to ......" Chen Qiang recalled that Gu Shiyin had fiddled with portals that were enough to travel through time, and there were experts like Is, who transcended time.

No new prompts pop up.

"It's hard." Helena shook her head.

Time is not a simple one-way line, and the great race of Isis can go back in time, but there is no guarantee that a specific person will be brought back from a specific point in time.

"We can't go back," Qin Lingxue took Chen Qiang's hand, "but at least, Dad, he may still be living peacefully in the distant time, away from those nightmares in the water." ”

"Wait. Xiaoxue," Chen Qiang keenly captured the key words in Xiaoxue's words, "a nightmare in the water." What exactly did you encounter in 1920? Enemy...... Who exactly? ”

……

It was three o'clock in the morning.

Pickman Orthopaedic Treatment Center.

"If I were you," Pickman sneered, "I wouldn't have interfered with the 'Fortress of Sanity'. Their power is greater than we can imagine, but as long as we don't fall into their hands, they can't help us. ”

"It's my men who are missing, not yours," Mr. Shaney growled, "and you owe me credit for hiding a lot of truth for Arkham all these years." Two years ago, that Delta squad disappeared here, and if I hadn't covered up your secret, they would have dug your family's bottom into the ground. ”

"Maybe." Pickman didn't bother to pay attention to him. Shogoth is Shogoth, and after living for hundreds of millions of years, this IQ has basically bid farewell to the dominion of the earth.

Compared to Mr. Shani, who is an outsider, the Pickman family has a deeper understanding of Arkham's ancient secrets.

Suddenly he stopped.

"Wait," Pickman walked to the window, "what is this?" ”

……

In front of the chemical plant.

"Before I saw that unspeakable monster with my own eyes, that name was mentioned in the ancient documents of the Qin family, the reports before the establishment of the Green Delta, and the ruins of the Pacific Islands," Xiao Xue didn't know that Chen Qiang knew far more than her, "I can't tell the exact pronunciation of that name, and many documents mention it in different ways." Sounds a bit like Ksu-"

"Let's go in and talk about it." Chen Qiang said.

Regardless of whether or not Qin Yuantu and others who were stranded in 1920 were rescued, Arkham had too many things waiting for the investigators to deal with one by one.

Suddenly, Qin Lingxue looked up at the sky - a frightened expression appeared on her face. However, Chen Qiang did not hear the hint of SAN value deduction.

"Aurora?" Following Qin Lingxue's gaze, Chen Qiang raised his head and saw the colorful aurora floating above the chemical plant.

"Aurora?"

"Not true. How can Arkham have an aurora? Qin Yixian also reacted.

"Impossible." Helena, who was basically equivalent to the elite of the Is, gradually froze in her expression.

“…… It's it. Xiaoxue shuddered and pointed to the aurora swirling in the sky. The magnificent aurora seems to be slowly descending towards the ground.

You can't go wrong.

She would never be mistaken......

Two years ago, it was the same light that sent her and her father back in time.

……

Madhouse.

Gu Shun looked up at the sky.

"Aurora?" The director of the asylum was stunned. The guards stared equally uneasily at the light curtain above them.

……

"Bastard, why did it come to us!" Pickman scolded.

"What kind of magic is this?" Mr. Shaney let out a flute-like curse.

"We've been absolutely calculated," Pickman growled, "and now, you'd better remember where you were a hundred years ago." ”

……

Bigby was lying in the grass, and not far away was a rotten house.

"I knew it wasn't over." Staring at the rain of light that was gradually enveloping him, the old magician whispered.

……

"It is this light that sends us back to the past!" Qin Lingxue shouted.

The light is getting stronger and stronger, and the system's prompt finally sounds.

The seventh, and last, hidden mission, finally reveals its true nature.

[Mission: Find Qin Yuantu under the threat of Cthulhu, opened]

"Damn." Chen Qiang instantly understood why Naia wanted to bring up the topic of "morning sunshine".

The sun still rises, but what everyone sees is not the next day.

……

Stefana's red Porsche Mercedes on the highway.

"Is this also in your plan?" Miss Yi raised her eyebrows.

"Oh, don't say as if I'm interfering," Stephana smiled, "It was Arkham Wizard a century ago who caused the space-time phenomenon. People who have already been summoned once are easily summoned again, and I am just getting the right people in the right place at the right time, and that's it. ”

"Their magic can only summon one or two. Last time, you amplified the power of your entire magic, and this time it's even bigger. A crappy human wizard alone can't make such a big impact. ”

"Don't say that. Amplifying the power of the magic is our gathering itself, and Arkham at this point in time turned into a beacon of time and space, allowing the summoned spell to gain ...... Unexpectedly, it was a huge success. ”

"So how many guys did you send back?" Miss Yi squinted.

The successive aurora lights in Arkham City are like fireworks.

"It was beautiful. Isn't it? Stephana replied.

Porsche is gone.

……

In the distance, the fiery red "Tindarus Falcon" lingered beyond the aurora, and then suddenly disappeared.
