The next day, in the evening.

Arkham Town, business district.

It's the busiest part of town: the central square is surrounded by department stores and restaurants, the mayor's office and police station are just a short distance away, and the tram company, gas company and fire station are also located.

With the official opening of the taxi company last year, this old town has become more and more modern...... Probably.

Crossroads, Crawford Restaurant.

The restaurant is the oldest and most upscale restaurant in Arkham Town, and the owner has proudly claimed on more than one occasion that the location and menu have not changed since before the Civil War. He even erected a conspicuous bronze nameplate in front of the store to commemorate "an emergency meeting of a group of senior commanders here during the war."

Of course, no one can prove it......

The restaurant's private rooms serve a ten-course meal for distinguished guests, which, of course, is scoffed at by ordinary citizens: only rich people who have enough money to feed and have nowhere to spend will eat in such places......

"That's just because they don't have the money," said Mrs. Agatha Pickman, gracefully putting a piece of vanilla ice cream she bought from the ice cream parlor next door into her mouth in one of the private rooms, "if anyone has a treat......

Then they will feel "really fragrant," said the Oriental man, who sat opposite Mrs. Agatha Pickman. He was about fifty years old, and his eyebrows were somewhat similar to Qin Yixian.

“…… Weak-willed people are always duplicitous," he said, "and they try to denigrate what they can't get." ”

"This is also the so-called 'wisdom of the East'?" Mrs. Agatha Pickman raised an eyebrow.

This man has extraordinary perseverance and intelligence, but he is always quietly doing insignificant things, and he doesn't mind even sending him to do errands like buying ice cream.

"Just my personal opinion." Just listen to him gently.

"That's it," Mrs. Agatha Pickman said she could focus on food again, "and while Hong and Gu are away, it's just the two of us here, and I'd like to ask: Why did you join Silver Twilight?" ”

"It's just for self-preservation." The man sitting opposite, Qin Yuantu replied lightly.

……

across the street.

Chen Qiang and Qin Yixian hurriedly passed by the door of the ice cream shop. Not far away is a high-end restaurant, and across the road, a Chinese-looking shopkeeper is cleaning his tattoo shop.

"Are you convinced?" Chen Qiang asked, "The message from Uncle Yuantu is around here." ”

"Ah, that's right," Qin Yixian said in a deep voice, "My Qin family's communication code...... There can be absolutely no mistake. ”

In the former Arkham incident, Xiao Xue's father and Qin Yat-sen's uncle Qin Yuantu disappeared in this era, and only Xiao Xue, whose reason was on the verge of shattering, returned safely to the 21st century.

However, the task of the system clearly told Chen Qiang that Qin Yuantu was still alive in this era, and he was still under the threat of Cthulhu and its minions.

Now, the "Arkham Gods" campaign has entered its final stages. [Cut off the power channel of Kache Utaus, the one who walks through the dust in this world] [Decipher Idhela, the evolution plan of the Dream Witch] [Fulfill the wish of Nyaratotip, the chaos of the ambush] [Stop Yog Sototh, the deity of the One of All Things from causing irreversible damage] [Stop Msisha, the arrival of the Overlord of Tyndaros] and [Complete the commission of Mordigian, the god of the Hiding Place] The six major tasks have been completed.

In the task list, only the last task remains:

[Searching for Qin Yuantu under the threat of Cthulhu, Lord of L'Eleye: Unfinished]

……

[Chen Qiang's investigation and verification 5/72 was a great success]

Chen Qiang looked around.

The streets are full of people. In front of the department store, the radio played at a loud volume the news that Grand Commander Warren Harding had died of a stroke while traveling, and that his former deputy, the new Grand Commander Calvin Coolidge, had been sworn in in the capital.

Coolidge once served as the governor of the local area and was quite famous among the common people. Many of them thought that their beloved Mr. Coolidge was in any case more trustworthy than some of the wasted Warren Hardings, who had been obsessed with poker and pickling all day long.

"Don't worry," Chen Qiangdong looked around to confirm the safety of the two, "no one noticed us." ”

Qin Yixian nodded. He and Chen Qiang walked into the alleyway behind the tattoo shop.

"When I was on guard in Dunwich," Qin Yat-sen said slowly, "I noticed that someone was secretly watching us. I initially thought it was Little Waterley you were talking about, only to find out later that it wasn't......"

He paused: "I followed the man half the village...... As a result, next to the ruins of that house, I saw a secret message I left with the ancient method of the Qin family. ”

"Are you sure it's Uncle Yuantu?" Chen Qiang was suspicious, "If it's really Uncle Yuantu who sees you, why don't you just come out and recognize you?" Why leave a message around the bush and then choose to meet in a secret place? ”

"For outsiders, it's just casual graffiti," Qin Yixian frowned, "but that special signature shouldn't be wrong." Uncle Yuantu asked us to meet here at this time. ”

The streets of Arkham are fairly smooth and clean, but the alleys and alleys all exude a gray atmosphere. ”

Chen Qiang is wearing his belt and is ready to enter the transformation state at any time. Qin Yixian held his gun tightly. As the sun sets, the dark and gloomy feeling in the alley intensifies.

"This is it." Qin Yixian whispered.

The time and place mentioned in Qin Yuantu's message in Dunwich have arrived. But where is there a third figure in the alleyway?

[Qin Yat-sen Investigation Verification 46/76 Success]

"Wait a minute." Qin Yixian suddenly discovered something else.

It was a white candle, half-burned, standing alone in the shadow of the corner, and at first glance it looked like a piece of debris that had been casually discarded here.

Qin Yixian walked over slowly.

"It's the 'Candlelight Technique,'" he whispered, "It's a spell created by my Qin family's ancestors to improve the 'Candlelight Communication Technique' to preserve images and sounds. However, in modern times, with the advent of tape recorders and video recorders, no one uses this kind of magic, which is extremely mentally taxing. ”BIquGe.biz

"Could it be a trap? Not ......"

Qin Yixian put the candle up through his gloves.

"We'll go back and study it slowly."

……

"Speaking of which," Mrs. Agatha Pickman looked at Qin Yuantu in front of her with a smile in the private room, "when you just went out to buy ice cream, it took a long time. Did you go and do something? ”

[Qin Yuantu's acting skills test 36/99 success]

"No, I'm just listening to the news about Commander Harding." Qin Yuantu said lightly.
