Chapter 108 The Arkham Journey Begins from the Madhouse

Chen Qiang woke up.

"...?"

The cold sound of the system sounded.

[Because there are more than one person entering the module, dear Keeper, in this module, you will not be able to assign any investigator talents to other investigators.After other investigators enter the module, they can continue to use your own investigator talent]

"……"etc.

[You will not be able to choose the original/popular mode, nor can you change the mode in the game, you can only use the original mode, that is, use your own real attributes as character cards]

wrong……

[You will not be able to participate in the survey during the preparation phase]

[Other investigators will enter the module in 5 minutes]

Who can tell me……

Chen Qiang shook his body vigorously.However, his limbs were locked to the solid bed board, and he could not move at all except staring at the ceiling.

"What the hell is going on here!"

……

Arkham, St. Mary's Psychiatric Center.

In the scientific and prosperous 21st century, it was rebuilt on the original site of "St. Mary's Hospital" in the southwest of Miskani Tok University. It is a modern medical institution integrating advanced technology and humanistic care.

St. Mary's Psychiatric Center inherited all the patients from the old mental hospital.The most difficult cases from Massachusetts and even the United States are sent here.It has the best medical conditions in the country, and many well-off patients choose to be hospitalized at St. Mary's Psychiatric Retreat Center.

But for some reason, whether it is the ordinary townspeople of Arkham Town or the students of Miskani Tok University, there is always only one name for this hospital.

Arkham Asylum.

There is only one madhouse in Arkham.One family is enough.

……

The patrolling nurse walked past a row of wards.

Living in these single rooms are some seriously delusional guys... there is a certain danger.

She looked down at the records in the medical records.

[Ward No. [-].

Patient: Mr. Bigby.

Symptoms: The delusion is that he is a legendary great magician.From time to time, he would pose in strange poses and chant spells without any real meaning, and sometimes he would yell "Accept the move! Invisible force field grasping palm!"

Risk: Low.This man is old, frail, severely hunchbacked, and severely lacking in physical strength. 】

"Avada Kedavra!" When the nurse passed by, Bigby pointed at her with a chopstick he found somewhere, but she flamboyantly ignored her.

[Ward No. [-].

Patient: Mr. Michael.

Symptoms: Delusions of being a member of an alien race.In the patient's delusion, this race is called "Mi Go", who lives on Pluto, and Mr. Miguel of the earth performed a brain-changing operation. return.

Risk: medium.This individual's request for any means must be denied to prevent escape from the asylum.Except for comic books. 】

The nurse looked in through the small window. Mr. Miguel was reading a superhero comic from decades ago, and he said to himself, "This man named Penguin is also in this madhouse? I must find his alliance." Strange words like that.

[Ward No. [-].

Patient: Mr. Howard Phillips (tentative name)
Symptoms: The individual claims to be the founder of Miskani Tok University, Howard Phillips (real name unknown).In historical records, Ward Phillips donated a batch of books to Arkham in 1693, which laid the foundation for the establishment of Miskatonic University and its library.This person claims that this is not his first time travel, and met a friend named "Randolph Carter" in the early 20th century, but there is currently no evidence that this person really exists.

Danger: Varies.He maintains a 17th-century lifestyle and has a negative attitude towards contemporary technology. Please do not let him come into contact with any inventions after the mid-20th century. 】

Fortunately today, there is no sound in Ward No. [-].

Perhaps the master of imagination is dreaming of some wild dream again, the nurse thought lightly.

Ward four...

The nurse stopped.She read the medical records very carefully.

[Patient: Chen Qiang]

Her impression is very clear, it is that strange Chinese descent.

[Symptoms: Variable.The most common claim is that this world is a game world, an overhead space that describes the possibility of being parallel to the real world, and the title "Earth's Last Secret Keeper" with unclear meaning. 】

Compared with other patients, this Mr. Chen is the most normal one.

[Risk: Low.Expected to be discharged soon. 】

The nurse blinked.This afternoon, his friend should come back here to pick him up.

Ugh……

The nurse sighed.

Although I am very sorry for you, I must do what the dean ordered me to do.

The nurse picked up a pencil and crossed out the last sentence [expected to be discharged from hospital soon] and changed it to [need to remain in the hospital for observation]

"Who told you that you are the person who is under the special care of the dean," the nurse sighed, "Forget it, anyway, you are locked up here, and you will have no worries about food and clothing."

But before tonight, the nurse glanced at Chen Qiang who was locked on the bed and couldn't move. You should just stay here for a whole day.

Ignoring Chen Qiang who was struggling, the nurse walked away.

……

On the other hand, outside Arkham Asylum, in the parking lot.

Qin Yixian patted the steering wheel of his modified Cadillac.

As he wrote in his purchase request, it was exactly the same as the one he had in the real world.

Dr. Todd sat in the passenger seat of the car with a confused face.The two girls, Gu Shiyin and Cecilu, were in the back seat.

[Mission: Take Chen Qiang out of the "St. Mary's Mental Health Care Center", explore the truth behind the incident he encountered, and protect his safety in the game for 48 hours]

The system's mechanical notification sound echoed in the ears of the four people.

If Chen Qiang could hear this prompt, he would be shocked.This is the first time that the system has explicitly issued "orders" to investigators within the module.

But Qin Yixian and the other four didn't know about this situation...

Qin Yixian glanced at the phone calmly: the date above is the same year in the real world, three months later, that is August.

If Chen Qiang can see this time, he will immediately start reasoning, thinking that this may be an important clue, because this is the first time the system puts the time point of the module in the future.

But Qin Yixian and the other four were also unaware of this situation...

"Damn it, we have to save Mr. Chen quickly," said Dr. Todd who finally came to his senses, "Mr. Qin..."

"You're right," Qin Yixian narrowed his eyes, "By the way, my current identity is American actor Ian Qin. In front of NPCs, please remember to call me Ian, not Yixian."

Qin Yixian opened the car door.

　Because I go to a mental health center to collect information (about one bus stop away from my home), I will update later tomorrow.Psychiatry in reality is different from the story. It is still very orderly and pays attention to scientific methods.
