Chapter 263: The Straight Lines and Curves of History
The scene became tense.
In the end, it was Hong Zhou who relieved Gu Shun.
"Oh, I think he's a Gu ......."
Hong Zhou's eyes flashed with a faint blue light, and he said in a sad tone.
"Hong, show me the evidence." The majestic man sensed that Hong Zhou's tone was wrong.
ββ¦β¦ He is indeed Gu. But not necessarily the Gu of this era. β
Hong Zhou's gaze was fixed on the corner of the table, as if it was not an ordinary table corner, but a striking magic array.
"How do you know?" Mrs. Nahab frowned.
"What are you looking at?" Fat men are a little more perceptive. Only Hong Zhou was not a human being, and his senses were a little sharper than those of a human mage.
"Tindarus Hound," Hong Zhou said calmly, "is coming." β
ββ¦β¦β
In the smoke, an emaciated, dark-skinned monster waved its sharp claws and gradually emerged from the other dimension. Due to its relationship with linear time, this terrifying hunter can materialize through any angle in the real world that is no larger than 120 degrees.
Six Great Magicians, you look at me, I'll look at you.
"Solve your own troubles by yourself." The fat man said.
"Anyway, this is our territory," said the majestic man, "and we're not going to leave it alone." But Gu, you know. β
ββ¦β¦β
It's up to me to resist the damage, I understand, Gu Shun thought desperately. Ordinary attacks can't help the "hounds", but these great magicians have some methods.
"With your method of immortality," Anne said with a demonic smile on her face, "the Tindarus Hound shouldn't be dead, right?" β
β¦β¦
"Ahh
In the reception room of the old Arkham Psychiatric Sanatorium, Chen Qiang sneezed.
Someone must have been scolding me just now...... Chen Qiang sniffed.
The Lord of the Fortress of Reason didn't know at this moment that Gu Shun was in trouble with Silver Twilight at this time.
Being targeted by a hound is a probabilistic thing after all, and Chen Qiang would not think that the hound would "accurately" help him solve the enemy.
Relying on Mrs. Meghan's British accent, Chen Qiang didn't have much effort to meet the person he wanted to meet, the boy who was attacked in a suburban mansion in the newspaper report. However, the poor fellow could not even utter a complete sentence.
Lily stood outside the reception room. She had a relationship with the crazy boy on campus, but Lily had a bad impression of him.
Oily and bold, she thought that she did not deserve sympathy for making herself dead. Lily doesn't believe in the "haunted house" theory, the report says that the boy scared himself crazy in a big house in the suburbs, and Lily thinks he probably thinks he thinks the broken sheets in the basement and the like are ghosts.
A woman dressed in purple came from outside. She gave Lily a shallow smile.
"Is Mr. Chen Qiang inside?"
"That's right," Lily nodded, "You're the psychotherapist Mr. Chen mentioned?" β
Just now, Chen Qiang used the systematic words to ask Helena to come to the madhouse immediately. With the help of the Baiaki sent by Mrs. Meghan, it took Helena less than ten minutes to reach the insane asylum on the north bank from the hills on the south bank of the Miskatonik River.
"It's me." Helena said gently.
"Can you tell him what happened yesterday?" As soon as he saw Helena walk in, Chen Qiang immediately asked, "Be detailed." β
"Time is limited, I do my best." Helena said.
She placed a quaint incense burner on the table. However, a hundred years ago, Arkham Asylum was extremely dilapidated, and the reception room was not much better than the prison, and the crowd did not feel any more relaxed.
[Helena's hypnosis check with punishment 98/60 failed]
Chen Qiang sighed.
The boys' situation has not improved in the slightest. In addition to repeating his name over and over again, another word that keeps coming up in boys' speech is "camel".
[Mrs. Megan failed 86/80 in Psychology Test]
[Chen Qiang failed the Psychology Examination 74/73]
γBurning Luckγ
[Chen Qiang's psychology test 73/73 was successful, and he is currently lucky 57]
The word "camel" reminded Chen Qiang of Bigby, but no matter how much he asked, the boy couldn't say anything. Chen Qiang suspected that it was what the "camel" had done to him that made him like this.
"Looks like I'll have to go myself." Chen Qiang said in his heart.
At the door of the reception room, Lily watched the actions of the crowd and blinked.
Whether it's Mr. Chan, Mrs. Megan, or this new woman, these people seem to be very good, and I don't know why they are so interested in such strange and ridiculous things.
An abandoned mansion in the suburbs...... Lily thought, as boring as it sounds, maybe a good surprise to pass the time of a long summer night?
β¦β¦
In a mansion in Hamphill County, Massachusetts.
A plump lady is in front of a mirror, arranging her husband's clothes. The wife kept asking this and that ("Is this good?"). "Oh, how about this bow tie?" But her husband barely spoke, and even when it was time to answer, he answered almost all the questions in one or two words ("good", "yes").
In the distance, a message about Grand Commander Harding was playing on the radio. The Hardings are on a transcontinental trip.
"Maybe we should go back." The wife suddenly became uneasy.
There are rumors circulating in the noblewomen's circles of the capital: Mrs. Harding is fed up with her husband's lifestyle; She was close to some people from Innsmouth; And Mr. Harding is in poor health.
"I mean really," seeing that the husband didn't speak, and the wife was a little anxious, he must know more secrets, "Calvin, you're ...... after all"
"Their business is not ours." Calvin said mildly.
"But ......"
"Grace, there are cabinet members in the capital; We do our thing. Calvin said succinctly.
From a young age, he was a taciturn man. At the age of eighteen, he lost his sister Abigail, who was two years his junior, and it was only a few years ago, after he had made his way out, that his farmer father told him that his sister was still alive in the world and had run away with a Norwegian seafarer, which made him angry and relieved at the same time.
His unpopular Norwegian brother-in-law has died after a strange incident in the Pacific, leaving only a daughter named Lily. Grace, his wife, who had always wanted a daughter, treated her as her own, and Calvin acquiesced, and even Grace changed Lily's last name on the registry file to the same as the couple (though she still referred to herself by her biological father's last name).
"God will take care of the rest." After this happened, Calvin thanked God a lot more.
If history were a straight line, then the representative of the "Roaring Twenties" would have stayed at home, heard the news of his partner's death forty-eight hours later, and finally traveled to the capital to take office as the commander-in-chief.
However, because of some unseen influences, the reality is slightly skewed compared to the well-known reports......
"Honey, you're right," Grace breathed a sigh of relief, "well, let's go see how our Lily is doing." There's always bad rumors around Arkham that make me a little worried, Calvin. β
Calvin nodded, picking up the pocket watch on the dresser. The pocket watch is engraved with a striking line that reads, "To our beloved former governor, Judge of Massachusetts."
Calvin Coolidge and Grace Coolidge walked out of the house side by side. The driver was already waiting for them at the door.
"Let's go, go to Arkham."
