Chapter 186 The Road to Arkham

Robin Selman didn't know that even though he was very cautious, he was the only person who did not sign the "cooperation contract" (hidden investigator terms version) provided by Chen Qiang (from the perspective of a occultist, this contract cannot be related to mysterious phenomena, but from the perspective of a lawyer, even if the contract itself is impeccable, the act of "giving someone to sign" itself is suspicious), Chen Qiang still brought him into the ranks of investigators.

His rationality is only 5. Chen Qiang can forcefully see his card if he consumes 5 points of rationality pool...

By the standards of a normal investigator, Robin Selman is considered very "professional".

However, in Chen Qiang's eyes, he could only be considered average - first of all, his reason is too low, and his ability is not so strong that Chen Qiang sacrificed his reason to pull up his reason; secondly, at this moment, there are only "hero investigators" in the house, including Chen Qiang, Helena and Beethoven, who are so strong that they don't know where they are...

...

Following the trail in the back mountain, Robin Selman walked to a small Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva on the side of the road. This is a stone statue that can be seen everywhere in Japan, with wild dog-like footprints nearby.

"Come out," said lawyer Selman, "I know you're there."

Two hunched figures jumped out of the grass on the side of the road. They had rubbery skin, dark red eyes, and pointed ears, like two big dogs that could walk upright. Both "people" were wearing clothes, especially the tallest one, wearing a gorgeous purple robe and a silver mask on their faces. If you look closely, you will find that it was actually made of the bones of some kind of creature.

"Salute to the two messengers of the skeleton-eating clan," said Solicman, a lawyer, slightly, "Thank you for your vigilance for us."

These two people are naturally members of the Ghoul Clan. These creatures feed on corpses live in graves and dark corners around the world.

"It's okay," said the priest of the purple robe indifferently, "our clan lives here forever, and is willing to... do an old friend a favor."

"You owe me a favor," Robin Selman said coldly, with a flash of light in his green eyes. "You promised me that you would help me three times in total, this is the second time."

Robin Selman took a great risk in the desert of Egypt to make these bone-eating creatures owe their favors. Standing at the top of these creatures were the priests who worshipped the old dominant, the "god of the hiding hall", Mordigian, and the purple-robed man in front of him was one of them.

Mordichian forbids his members from killing humans for no reason or feeding on human corpses. Even so, there are still some crazy guys who are willing to resist Mordichian and attack humans secretly. Mordichian's priests have been hunting them and sometimes seeking cooperation from humans. Robin has made a promise from them that as long as Robin speaks, the ghoul tribe will help him three times...

Nothing happened tonight, and attorney Robin was both grateful and heartbroken. Fortunately, he was safe, but he wasted this favor in vain.

If I had known it, I wouldn't have called for a vigil...

"We will only help you three times in total, this is the second time," the priest of the purple robe said indifferently. He was clearly in Japan, but his English had a strong British accent. "This time it's over. And..."

"What?" Robin glared. Could it be that this old guy wanted to swallow it for the third time?

"...I have a condition. If you do as you do," said the purple robe priest, "This time it's free, and the next time it's calculated from the second time."

"What?" Robin Selman was overjoyed. Could it be that the other party's rotten mind suddenly opened up and realized his importance?

"I want you to introduce us to Mr. Chen Qiang," said the priest of the purple robe, unable to see the expression under his mask. "If you can do it, my clan doesn't mind helping you again."

“…”

Go to him for that kind of thing! Don’t China have your members too! I’m not familiar with him! Robin thought to himself.

"If he refuses to come, remember to tell him," the old priest told him, as if he was worried, "our clan has a secret way to enter Arkham. He will come."

When we met, we were using Lao Xu’s relationship to make family matters, and the priest thought to himself.

"Do you guy understand?" said the young ghoul who accompanied the priest, who spoke in a typical "Water English".

"I will definitely do it," said Robin Selman, a lawyer who bowed politely, and a perfect and standardized smile developed from his years of lawyer career. "Mr. Chen Qiang and I got the same thing at first sight. Please wait for my good news."

...

moment.

In the hot spring hotel.

"I object," said Sayako, "we have as much transportation as we have to the United States. There is no need to rely on... suspicious people."

As everyone was about to have a meeting on the Arkham issue, Robin gave this suggestion.

“My friends are not suspicious,” Robin Selman smiled, “they are really capable of helping us. If we want to go into Arkham town secretly for investigation, their power is indispensable.”

Chen Qiang pondered for a while, and silently activated the eyes of the secret man.

[Chen Qiang Psychological Test 52/73 Success]

The lawyer obviously believes in his friends, but the problem is that even if the lawyer himself is "good intention", it cannot mean that he has not been deceived by others.

However, now that I am strong, it is okay to meet his so-called friends.

"Xiaobai, stay," Chen Qiang said to Bai Shaobao, "stay with Shi Li."

"Yixian and I stayed there too," said Fujiwara Erika. "I discussed it with Yixian, just in case we don't get together."

"Xiaoxue, are you okay?" Chen Qiang looked at his girlfriend.

"I'm fine." Xiaoxue gestured and made an OK gesture.

Chen Qiang took a deep breath.

"Then we divide the left-behind groups and the exploration groups like this," he said. "Let's go, without further ado, let's talk as soon as possible. Let's go and chat as we go."
