Chapter 273 Invisible Guardian

The next day, evening.

Arkham Township, Business District.

This is the most prosperous area of ​​the town: the central square is surrounded by large and small department stores and restaurants, the mayor's office building and the police station are not far away, and the tram company, gas company and fire station are also located here.

With the official opening of the taxi company last year, this ancient town has become more and more modernized... probably.

Crossroads, Crawford's Restaurant.

This restaurant is the oldest and most upscale restaurant in Arkham Town. The owner has proudly declared more than once that the location and menu of the restaurant have never changed since before the Civil War.He even erected a prominent bronze plaque on the door of the store, commemorating "a group of senior commanders once held an emergency meeting here during the war".

Of course, no one can prove this...

The private room of the restaurant serves a ten-course meal for those distinguished guests. Of course, ordinary citizens scoff at this: Only rich locals who have a lot of money and are full and have nowhere to spend will eat in this kind of place...

"It's just because they have no money." In a private room, Mrs. Agatha Pickman gracefully put a piece of vanilla ice cream bought from the ice cream shop next door into her mouth. "If someone treats you..."

Then they will feel "really fragrant", the oriental man sitting opposite Mrs. Agatha Pickman thought.He is about 50 years old, and his eyebrows are somewhat similar to Qin Yixian.

"...a weak-willed person always says what he means," he said, "and tries to discredit what is not available."

"Is this also the so-called 'Eastern Wisdom'?" Mrs. Agatha Pickman raised her eyebrows.

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

"It's just my personal opinion." Just listen to him say gently.

"Forget it," Mrs. Agatha Pickman let herself focus on the food again, "Since Xiao Hong and Xiao Gu are not here, and there are only two of us here, I would like to ask: Why did you join the 'Silver Twilight' ?”

"It's just for self-protection." Qin Yuantu, the man sitting opposite, replied flatly.

……

across the street.

Chen Qiang and Qin Yixian hurried past the ice cream shop.Not far away is a high-end restaurant, and across the road, a shopkeeper who looks like a Chinese is cleaning his tattoo shop.

"Are you sure?" Chen Qiang asked, "The message from Uncle Yuantu is near here."

"Ah, that's right," Qin Yixian said in a low voice, "My Qin family's communication code...is definitely not wrong."

In the previous Arkham incident, Xiaoxue's father and Qin Yixian's uncle, Qin Yuantu, disappeared in this era, and only Xiaoxue, whose sanity was on the verge of being broken, returned safely to the 21st century.

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

Now, the "Arkham Gods" campaign has entered its final stretch. 【Cutting off Kwache Utaus, the power channel of those who walk through the dust in this world】【Deciphering the evolution plan of Idhra, the witch of dreams】【Fulfilling the wish of Nyarlathotep, the crouching chaos】 [Stop Yog Sothoth, the deity of the one who returns all things to cause irreversible damage] [Stop Msisha, the coming of the overlord of Tindalos] and [Complete the commission of Mordiggian, the God of the Ossuary] 】The six major tasks have entered the completion state.

In the task list, only the last task remains:

[Looking for Qin Yuantu under the threat of Cthulhu, the Lord of Raliyah: Not completed]

……

[Chen Qiang's detection check is 5/72 big success]

Chen Qiang looked around.

People come and go on the street.In front of the department store, the radio was playing the news that General Warren Harding had suffered a stroke while traveling, and his former deputy, the new General Calvin Coolidge, had been sworn in in the capital, which attracted a lot of attention. Citizens of current affairs stop and listen.

Coolidge once served as the local governor and was quite famous among the common people.Many people whispered to each other that their beloved Mr. Coolidge was more trustworthy than some useless leader Warren Harding who was addicted to poker and picking up girls all day long.

"Don't worry," Chen Qiang looked around to confirm the safety of the two of them, "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 Yixian said slowly, "I found someone watching us secretly. At first I thought it was the little Whateley you mentioned, but later I realized it was not the case..."

He paused: "I followed that man through half of the village... As a result, beside the ruins of that house, I saw the secret message I left using the Qin family's ancient method."

"Are you sure it's Uncle Yuantu?" Chen Qiang looked doubtful, "If it was Uncle Yuantu who saw you, why didn't he come out and meet you directly? Why did he leave a message in a roundabout way, and then choose to be in a secret place?" where will we meet?"

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

The streets of Arkham are fairly smooth and clean, but the layers of alleyways all exude a smell of decay. "

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

"It's here." Qin Yixian whispered.

The time and place mentioned in Qin Yuantu's message in Dunwich have arrived.However, where is the third figure in the alleyway?
[Qin Yixian’s detection check was successful at 46/76]

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

It was a white candle, half burnt, standing alone in the shadow of the corner of the wall, at first glance, it looked like a sundry that was casually discarded here.

Qin Yixian walked over slowly.

"It's the 'Candlelight Photography Technique'," he whispered. "It's a technique created by my ancestors of the Qin family to improve the 'Candlelight Communication Technique' to preserve images and sounds. However, in modern times, with the advent of tape recorders and No one is using the video recorder anymore, a magic that puts a huge strain on the mind."

[Chen Qiang Cthulhu Myth Test failed 87/55]

"Could it be a trap? No..."

Qin Yixian packed the candles through his gloves.

"We will study slowly after we go back."

……

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

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

"No, I'm just listening to news related to Commander Harding." Qin Yuantu said calmly.

　Here I wanted to pay tribute to "Latent" and "The Invisible Guardian".Originally, the story of Chen Qiang and his father-in-law going undercover in "Silver Twilight" was prepared, but when it comes to life in an illegal organization, it will inevitably involve some troublesome content to write in the current network environment... Considering the opportunity in the future Throw rumors or something.There is one more chapter to come. The settings of "Silver Twilight" refer to "Shadow of Yog-Sothoth", and there are major changes.
