my cthulhu game

Chapter 44 The Shadow Across Time
D University, Uncle Xu's ice cream shop.

Uncle Xu is handling the handover of the store.His ice cream parlor is no longer going to open.

Chen Qiang gave him a brand-new job. The salary was three times his current income. He didn't have to pay the rent of the store like now, and there was no shortage of fresh livestock carcasses every day. Uncle Xu couldn't find it at all. Reasons for rejecting Chen Qiang's invitation.

It's easy to have a boss who knows his true identity and is considerate of him to cover for him.

Even if I went to see the gate of the "Fortress of Sanity", my old Xu would recognize it!
At this time, Uncle Xu didn't know yet——Chen Qiang really planned to let Uncle Xu do the "fortress of reason" communication.

The physical ability of ghouls is far higher than that of human beings. It is better to let a mythical creature who is confidant to him look at the gate than the master of social recruitment, right?
The basement had been emptied, and several enthusiastic students were busy in the ice cream shop, helping Uncle Xu pack his things.

【Uncle Xu. 】

Chen Qiang's voice suddenly rang in Uncle Xu's ear.

Using the function of "Secret Keeping Game Hall Virtual Space", Chen Qiang can directly read words in the investigator's ear.

"Chen... Boss?" Uncle Xu was surprised and lowered his voice.

[It's me,] Chen Qiang said concisely, [How many times have I said, don't call me the boss, you can call me Xiao Chen or Chen Qiang.Uncle Xu, is there anyone next to you? 】

Uncle Xu looked around: "Bai Shaobao and Xiao Tu, they are helping me move things..."

[Is Lei Lei not there? 】Chen Qiang remembered that Uncle Xu said that Lei Lei would go home on vacation these two days.

"She called me just now and said she would stay in school and not come back," said Uncle Xu, "She said she would stay in school and study hard before the college entrance examination."

Xu Leilei is Uncle Xu's support. In order to prevent Uncle Xu with SAN=0 from collapsing, Chen Qiang has secretly hired several bodyguards to protect Xu Leilei's safety.

[Find a place where everyone can't hear, calm down and listen to me. 】Chen Qiang instructed, 【I have something important to tell you. 】

"Oh." Uncle Xu agreed.

The difficulty of the task Chen Qiang randomly received from the "Lottery" function of the system was "Outer God". A module of this difficulty is not something that a mortal investigator like Bai Shaobao who lacks understanding of mythology can easily bear.

On the contrary, Uncle Xu, whose SAN value has already returned to 0 and whose physical fitness is above ordinary people, is a qualified exploration partner in front of him.

"Xiao Chen, your spells are getting stronger and stronger," Uncle Xu exclaimed from the bottom of his heart, "Can you teach me?"

In Uncle Xu's heart, the only benefactor who taught him the transfiguration spell, the high priest who once served Morchidian, the god of the charnel house, had a level of magic comparable to Chen Qiang's.

[So-so,] Chen Qiang is embarrassed to say that he actually doesn't know any spells, [This spell can only be used by humans. 】

"Ah... sorry." Uncle Xu believed it was true.

Uncle Xu walked into the empty basement and locked the door.

"Xiao Chen, what happened?" Uncle Xu also put on a serious expression when he realized that something was unusual.
-
Even today, Chen Qiang didn't have the heart to tell Uncle Xu one thing: According to the report of the bodyguards secretly protecting Xu Leilei, Xu Leilei did not stay at school to study.

Many art candidates inevitably start to slack off after the art exam, but Xu Leilei held her breath to take the entrance exam to the Beijing Conservatory of Music, and she didn't dare to slack off in the culture class.

During this rare holiday, she didn't go home, but she didn't stay at school for self-study as she told Uncle Xu...

In a small clinic near the school.Including Xu Leilei, three students in school uniforms are gathering here.

"Leilei, let's go back." Leilei's roommate Xiao Yu pulled Lailei's school uniform.

And beside Xiao Yu, another boy with a strong physique stretched out his hand to stop Xiao Yu.

"Little sister," he said leisurely, "what is called a good person should be done to the end. Since we have sent people here, we must see each other get better."

As Xiao Yu's twin brother, his appearance is completely different from his sister's, and his personality is not the same at all.

"Xiao Jin," Xu Leilei shook her head, "That's not what you just said. Didn't you just say, 'Don't worry about it, just let him stay here'?"

The boy named Xiao Jin raised his eyebrows in dissatisfaction.He doesn't like to hear people call "Xiao Jin", which sounds feminine, and he doesn't like Xu Leilei blatantly singing his opposite.

"Call me Brother Xiao," he said angrily, "One moment and another moment. We chose to be good people, and of course we must take this good person seriously to the end."

Xiao Yu on the side rolled her eyes: This old brother of hers has always wanted to date Xu Leilei, but with this reinforced concrete straight man attitude...

... Brother, you should continue to work hard in your next life.

While talking, a middle-aged female doctor in a white coat came out from the back room.There were not many people in the small clinic in the morning, except for three high school students in school uniforms, there was only one old lady sitting at the door for infusion, watching the traffic passing by on the road outside the clinic.A man reads a newspaper leaning on a telephone pole across the road.

"Doctor Huang, how is that man?" The kind-hearted Xu Leilei looked at the doctor anxiously.

"Look for yourselves." Doctor Huang said, pulling back the curtain at the door of the inner room, and the hospital bed could be seen directly from the outside.

Lying on the hospital bed was a middle-aged man of about 50 years old - he looked so emaciated that he looked almost over 60 years old.His complexion and face showed the features of a European. He was wearing a white high-necked shirt with frayed collar and cuffs, and checked trousers that were out of date with the times. side.

The man reeked of alcohol.When three passing high school students found him in the alley, he was lying on the side of the road, and a passing gangster was rummaging through him for valuables.The appearance of passers-by caused the punk to flee immediately, while the three high school students argued about how to deal with the motionless gentleman on the ground.

Xiao Jin suggested that the best and only solution to the drunks on the side of the road is to leave them alone.

The well-behaved Xiao Yu believes that this is a foreigner after all, and the best choice is to call the police or contact the relevant departments as soon as possible.

But Xu Leilei insisted that the gentleman from the West might have his own reasons for being so drunk in a foreign country, so rescuing him first was the top priority.

In the end Xu Leilei won - the three of them worked together to carry him to a small clinic near the school.

"He looks like he's sleeping deeply." Xu Leilei looked at the man's sculptured face.

"He drank too much," Dr. Huang said, "but he still has all kinds of diseases... he is full of diseases. Seriously, he should go to a big hospital for a systematic examination."

"Xiao Jin, Xiao Yu, you go back first," Xu Leilei waved her hands to the two companions, "I'll stay here with him."

Xiao Jin opened her mouth, but in the end she didn't say anything.He took his sister and left quickly.

Xiao Jin has a strong physique and is often mistaken for a sports student, but he is actually a music student and aims to become a conductor.Xu Leilei and Xiao Yu's majors are piano and violin respectively.

Everyone didn't notice that across the street, the people from the security company arranged by Chen Qiang were always looking here... Seeing that Xu Leilei stayed in the clinic and did not leave, the person continued to lean on the pole to read his newspaper.

"Poor old gentleman." In the clinic, Xu Leilei looked at the wine bottle left on the floor by the sleeping man, and barely recognized that the trademark was in German.

　Push the book "Elf's Early Registration". PS: Recently, Two-dimensional is almost being dominated by Marvel... I still remember the scene when I went to see Women's Federation 1, and so many years have passed in a flash.
