my cthulhu game

Chapter 110 One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest

There are only a few sentences of information on the Internet.

"The Salem incident...what does that matter have to do with us?" Qin Yixian shook his head, "We should focus on our mission."

He said so on the lips, but he was vigilant about the case in his heart.

Maybe what happened to Chen Qiang is really related to Zhenzi's example?
I'd better give full play to my ability and find some local local snakes to throw stones and ask for directions...

[Ian Qin's credit rating test was successful 16/95]

Waiting boredly, he sent a text message to the consulting company.

There was a sound of footsteps.

……

In a closed ward.

Chen Qiang waited for 10 minutes and started the second round of search.

Definitely find something that works in the room.

[Chen Qiang failed the detection check 90/70]

"..."

This is the revenge of the dice.Or the Law of Conservation of Character comes into play.

But maybe... I was looking in the wrong direction.

do not care.Taking the risk of letting the complete five-person team enter the single-player module caused some unknown changes in the module.

"If you hesitate, you will lose. Burn luck!"

【Currently lucky 75/99】

[Chen Qiang's detection check was 70/70 successful]

"I'll look for it again."

Chen Qiang started rummaging again.There are not many things in the room, just a bed, a cabinet, an emergency pot, and a pile of hospital gowns in the corner... Chen Qiang is also wearing the same clothes. Maybe this is a hospital, more likely, madhouse……

"There is."

Chen Qiang picked up the hospital gown for the third time.He had checked carefully twice before, and there was nothing hidden under the hospital gown.But this time, when he picked up the hospital gown, something slipped out of the internal test pocket of the gown...

"Ha. It's actually hidden here. Wait... what is this?"

That's a folding fan.

The calligraphy on it...is exactly "Climbing the Stork Tower".

It was a gift from Naia to herself!
In the real world, this thing should be firmly locked in the bank just like "Carcosa's Court".How could he sneak into the module with himself, in this almost desperate situation?

"How to use a folding fan - Naia, I hope you didn't cheat this time..."

The folding fan is just an ordinary wooden product, but Chen Qiang removed a section of steel wire from it.

"If you use this as a tool, you will have a chance to unlock the window!"

Chen Qiang walked to the window.

His gaze drifted across the parking lot downstairs.

[Chen Qiang's detection check was 28/70 successful]

Qin Yixian's modified Cadillac caught his eyes.

Qin Yixian, Dr. Todd, Cecilu, and Gu Shiyin are walking towards the car.

……

"They said that Chen Qiang has been picked up," Dr. Todd couldn't help asking, "are they lying?"

"Who knows," Qin Yixian sneered, "we will follow the address they said to find Mr. Chen. If Mr. Chen is not there..."

Qin Yixian paused: "...I have asked someone to contact the local police, security companies and gangs. They will help us."

"We can sneak in and search," Cecilu said.She recalled the scene in the waiting room, the kind of security guards, she felt that one person could bring down three people head-on.

"Don't say Mr. Chen may not be here, even if he is, in such a big place, where there is no insider, where can we go to find Mr. Chen?" Qin Yixian shook his head, "Even if we are looking for trouble, we must have evidence."

"but……"

"As a last resort, it's not too late to sneak in after nightfall." Qin Yixian said calmly.

Everyone was preoccupied, except Gu Shiyin who kept taking pictures of the lunatic asylum.She really liked the architecture here.

……

Seeing the four people who were leaving, Chen Qiang became anxious.

He couldn't hear what the four of them were saying, but he knew...

Once this rendezvous opportunity is missed, it will be difficult.

The lock must be picked at once—

[Chen Qiang failed the locksmith test 85/1]

...Damn it, I was not lucky enough to burn it.

[Chen Qiang failed the lucky check 76/75]

It’s not over yet!Adding insult to injury!
I don't know whether it was the noise made by Chen Qiang that finally caught the nurse's attention, or the other end of the probe hidden on the ceiling. The security guard who left his post finally returned from the toilet...

[Chen Qiang succeeded in listening test 58/70]

Chen Qiang could clearly hear the hurried footsteps getting closer in the corridor.

Chen Qiang hesitated for half a second—maybe he should use violence to smash the glass directly to attract the attention of Dr. Todd and others.But this may mean a full-scale conflict between our own team and the staff here.

Just when Chen Qiang was uncertain...

[Ancient poetry sound luck check 25/45 success]

Chen Qiang noticed with surprise that Gu Shiyin, who was fiddling with the mobile phone facing the building, suddenly raised his head and looked at the window on his side.

click!
The camera shutter flashes.

[Ancient poetry sound detection check failed 35/25]

As long as the investigators are still in Chen Qiang's field of vision, he can hear their test results.

Gu Shiyin did zoom in on the nearby area where Chen Qiang was, but her eyes were focused on the roof, and she didn't realize the existence of Chen Qiang in the corner of the frame.

"Shiyin," Cecilu shouted, "get in the car. When you arrive at the hotel later, you can take pictures in the city."

"Oh……"

Gu Shiyin put down her phone and reluctantly got into the car.

……

"..."

Lobster possession at the critical moment!

The door is closed.

Chen Qiang realized that the probability that he could successfully attract everyone's attention was decreasing sharply.

And in the corridor, footsteps have reached the door!
How to do?
No...can't despair yet.If you think about it, it's not such a big deal.

Chen Qiang's thoughts changed sharply.

I still have a full 74 points of luck to burn, and if I strive for a big success, there is definitely a chance of escape.

The way Gu Shiyin fiddled with the mobile phone at the building was probably taking pictures—if they noticed themselves in the picture, they would try their best to rescue themselves.

"Don't startle the snakes just yet."

Chen Qiang hid the wire back in the pocket of his hospital gown, and then quickly sat back on the bed.

A female nurse and two burly security guards pushed the door open.

[Chen Qiang failed performance test 9/5]

【Burning Lucky】

【Currently lucky 75-4=71】

[Chen Qiang's performance test was successful 5/5]

"It seems that he is sick again." Seeing Chen Qiang, whose eyes were dull and soulless, holding the hospital gown tightly in his arms, the head nurse held his forehead.

"Do you need to fix him?" a security guard asked.

"No," the head nurse said distraughtly, "his 'friend' has gone...take him back to the general ward. We've got enough work to do today."

In front of Chen Qiang's "delusional disorder" and "mental illness", the head nurse didn't want to hide too much.

"You have to thank her," the security guard snorted, "We have a kind angel in white at Arkham Asylum."

Chen Qiang stayed where he was motionless, acting like he was mentally ill.

He secretly smiled bitterly in his heart.

Sure enough... this is the legendary Arkham Asylum.

Just as he had guessed, Qin Yixian and his four people would appear here, originally to take him out.

But I don't know what the hospital said, and temporarily fooled them away...

Let's hope they go and come back soon...

But you can't bet all your hopes on your companions.I must take the initiative to find a chance to escape this madhouse.
