Chapter 186 The Keeper's Notebook

July.

The sun is like fire.

Miskatonic University, former Institute of Nuclear Energy.

The Institute of Nuclear Energy is located near the office building at the main entrance of the university. In the 50s, it was one of the most magnificent buildings in the whole school.The Nathaniel Derby Pickman Foundation funded the institute, but after the end of the Cold War, the sterile institute closed its doors.

Later, the school wanted to restart the institute, but after a series of accidents caused by the Dongying tsunami, and with the increasing number of protesters from Boston, the school froze the old house again and set its sights on the field of supercomputers.

What is now the Pickman Nuclear Energy Institute is a public exhibition hall displaying Miskatonic University's research results in archeology, medicine, and geology—the kind that are harmless to humans and animals.

Gao Yangcheng felt uneasy.

He and the entire "Kamen Rider" crew received a new investment, and the film version originally planned to be filmed in Japan was "generously" changed to be filmed in the United States, on the condition that the location must be designated by the investor.

In the path after the Institute of Nuclear Energy at Miskatonic University...

"Mr. Chen..." Gao Yang Chengsan, who took off his leather cover, was sweating profusely, and carefully looked at the distinguished guest in the stunt team, wearing sunglasses and a fake beard.

Like Gao Yang Chengsan, other staff members in the stunt team cast strange glances at this "assistant" who joined halfway.He hardly does any work, but he often watches the corners and corners of the darkness with wary eyes, as if something is lurking there.Everyone got orders from their superiors, so naturally they didn't dare to ask more questions.

Gao Yang Chengsan felt that Chen Qiang was almost the strangest big boss he had ever seen—he had never seen a big boss go out and dress up as an ordinary worker, and follow an "irrelevant" TV drama crew.

"It's finally July [-]st," Chen Qiang muttered to himself, "I don't know how Xiaoxue's treatment is going."

Chen Qiang's eyes fell on Gao Yang Chengsan.He was covered in sweat just after getting out of the costume.

"Your work is really hard." Chen Qiang said.

"I plan to retire next year." Gao Yang Chengsan said.He has said this since ten years ago, but he has not been able to make up his mind to say goodbye to the audience.

"Maybe next year, you won't have to work so hard," Chen Qiang said with a pun, "Technology is advancing with each passing day."

Gao Yang Chengsan really wanted to say "how is that possible", but considering that the person opposite was Chen Qiang, he held back.

When the old stuntman was young, he was full of beautiful imaginations about future technology, such as the popularization of private flying machines, the eradication of cancer, etc., but the results were not as good as anyone imagined.

To Gao Yang Chengsan, Mr. Chen may be an expert in the digital field, but in other respects, he is just a verbal satellite.

I hope I can see the real "Kamen Rider" in my lifetime, Gaoyang Chengzo thought.

……

Time back to half a month ago.

A hot spring hotel in Hokkaido.

"Okay, Ice," Chen Qiang nodded to Ice across the table, "I agree."

"I must behave well," Iss stood upright, "after the mission is over..."

"I will let you learn from this lady," Chen Qiang nodded, and Helena Blavatsky, who was sitting on the side, also smiled, "The human knowledge system is very suitable for you."

According to the standards of Yisi people, this person's intelligence level is not enough at all, but according to human standards, Yisi, who has three 80+ academic skills, is a genuine three-material master's level in human society.Her will is also as high as 85, higher than the average Yithian.

"If you have any undecided matters," Chen Qiang said, "You can discuss it with Bai Shaobao. Remember, your task is only as a liaison officer. If you find other Yisi people, remember to report to me."

Is nodded.She bowed deeply to Chen Qiang and left.

[Module: The Approaching Shadow of Time has been completed]

Chen Qiang breathed a sigh of relief when the system prompt sounded.

Sure enough, as long as Yisi is fully committed to working for him, the mod can be achieved.

In fact, Chen Qiang doesn't mind letting this module hang in his "task bar" for a while: as long as the module does not indicate completion, he can see the result of the dice test without activating the "Keeper's Eye" talent. , very convenient...

[You have received the reward investigator talent: Friends of the Yithians, and your sanity will not be reduced by witnessing the Yithians (non-human form). 】

Accumulated, Chen Qiang already has "Friends of Ghouls", "Friends of the Ancients", "Friends of Yithians", "Burning Luck", "Recovering Luck", "Spiritual Solidification" (half the loss of most sanity) and "Desperate" ( In some occasions, a second test can be carried out at a certain risk, and if you fail again, you will suffer a penalty similar to a big failure) and "friends of players" (to improve the preset reputation in the game player group) a series of investigator talents.Through the "allocation of talent" talent of the secret keeper, Chen Qiang can distribute part of the talent to the investigators.

The crucial sanity pool has accumulated more than 170 points.

【陈强心理学增长至73、话术增长至90、说服增长至43、潜行增长至29、聆听增长至73】

[Chen Qiang's speech skills have reached 90, reaching the level of human experts, and his sanity has returned to 44]

"...Ha. Because my upper limit is only 44."

[You have completed 10 modules in total, achieved the hidden mission "traversing the myth", and obtained the talent of a random keeper]

Huh?Was it only ten?

Chen Qiang's two secret room modules "Five-Colored Door" and "Red Knife" (the investigator quit midway) were not counted for complete observation and manipulation.

From back to front, "The Impending Shadow of Time", "Hit and Run", "Future Point", "Emerald Chaser", "Arkham Beyond", "Christmas Carnival in the Ocean", "Beyond" The Sound of Time", "The Hanged King's Curse", "Summer Nights", "The King in Yellow at the Board Game Club".

"……Well."

What I have personally experienced is really 10.

"Actually, you can ask the IS agent network to help you." Helena interrupted.

The premise is that Chen Qiang is really an IS, she thought.

"I prefer to do it myself." Chen Qiang shrugged.

This time the system's final prompt seemed to be stuck for a while longer than usual.

[You get an extra secret keeper talent "Secret Keeper's Notebook".In the notepad function of the APP, you can view the attribute values ​​​​of the mythical creatures you have come into contact with (average by race).Divine existence needs to meet special conditions to view. 】

It's the long-lost monster manual!

Chen Qiang felt excited in his heart.

Still unconscious, "Cthulhu's Secret Daughter" Keshila probably couldn't be directly drawn into the ranks of investigators.With this feature, at least a chance to take a look at her card...

[Helena's Psychology Test 34/98 succeeded]

The mysticist sighed leisurely.For a moment, she was sure that Chen Qiang was a secret Yisi, but his various behaviors were many and seemed like a pure human being.
