my cthulhu game

Chapter 204 Arkham's Ability Knight

Chen Qiang took a big breath.The elder looked at him expectantly.

These ghouls are very good at pretending!Now, it's their turn to whet their appetites.

"I work in all walks of life, especially the contemporary high-tech industry," Chen Qiang said softly, "they are still a bit thin-skinned. If I open my mouth and add your own industries as collateral, it should be able to help you get some low interest rates." Loans. You can build new closed factories in some underdeveloped areas. On the basis of ensuring that the secrets are hidden, I can also help you connect with some security positions. You see, you skeleton eaters are all very powerful, and you are especially good at The night shift will definitely make a lot of profit."

"We have long wanted to do this kind of thing," the elder nodded, "but there are indeed difficulties in network and start-up funds."

They have carried out similar projects in Central Africa before, but the local economic conditions are really bad.Without the help of human bosses, it would be difficult for the skeleton eaters to gain a firm foothold in the human industrial society.

"The current international industry is upgrading," Chen Qiang said while talking about his entrepreneurial PPT lines, "you, the skeleton-eating people, should also give full play to your strengths. In addition to working with strength, your hands are also very dexterous..."

"Whether humans were left-handed or right-handed," said the Elder, "we ghouls are ambidextrous."

"'Teaching a man how to fish is worse than giving him a fish'. 'Fortress of Sanity' helps those skeleton-eaters who are born in human society to be trained. They are very suitable for work on the keyboard, or even precision mechanics."

"It is true that the labor force in the underground world is too overflowing." The elder touched his bare chin.

"When the 'Fortress of Sanity' builds an assembly line for virtual helmets in the future, I can also let a group of Kelphan workers - at least with a high school education - enter my assembly line. 'Fortress of Sanity' will be responsible for the employees of the new factory Board and lodging, as well as extra wages, will be handed over to you elders to fill the holes in your traditional industries. How do you feel about this?"

Chen Qiang showed a bright smile.

In addition to the core components produced by machine tools manufactured by the system, the shell assembly of the virtual helmet requires talents who can work hard and are willing to keep secrets, and the skeleton-eating clan is extremely suitable.Originally, their production and life were relatively closed, and there were underground passages available. They were the perfect employees for a closed factory.

"Okay." This result is not very good for the elder, but it is acceptable.

"But as a price," Chen Qiang said suddenly, "you also have to agree to two additional requests."

The elder thumped in his heart.

"First, the books I borrowed from your library," Chen Qiang said solemnly, "please allow me to open them to the entire human society."

The elder was silent for a while, as if communicating with his god.

"Okay," the elder said after a while, "whether it is the complete "Book of Music" or "Dream of Red Mansions", we can give it to you, but how you discover them and how to explain them to the public is up to you. Find a way. The resulting profits..."

"...The cultural treasures common to all mankind, don't let them be contaminated with commercial stink," Chen Qiang said sternly, "If any profits are really generated, I will leave you one-tenth of the share. "

Except for Ke Xila who had nothing to do with him, everyone including Gu Shiyin looked at Chen Qiang with "Chen Bapi!"Chen Qiang is unambiguous about employee wages, but he keeps asking outsiders.

The elder wanted to say something, but finally nodded.

"The second question," Chen Qiang said, "is my personal question. I'm curious—your family has lived on this earth for so many years, and you have produced smart people like Pickman. Why do you keep living like this?" in such a predicament? Don't you know—magic?"

The old priest breathed a sigh of relief.

"Your partners, Mr. Qin Yixian, and Mrs. Meghan are very clear about this issue," the elder said wearily, "so it doesn't matter if I tell you directly."

"please say."

"The skeleton-eating clan has a longer lifespan than humans, but they are not immortal species."

"I know."

"For thousands of years, the population growth rate of the carcasses has been 0. After entering the industrial society, it has been negative growth for hundreds of years."

"...I probably understand." Chen Qiang nodded silently.

In the alleyway, the lingering coldness finally slowly disappeared.Chen Qiang even felt a sense of comfort.

"It seems that the great Mordiggian is also satisfied with the results of our conversation." The elder's mood also lifted a little.

"Has the great Mordiggian been watching us?" Chen Qiang asked.

"What do you say?" laughed the old ghoul. "The great Mordiggian has been here until just now."

"..."

"What kind of existence do you think Mordiggian is? A four-clawed crab or an eight-clawed spider, or a ghoul as big as a mountain?" The old priest looked at the endless underground passage, and hacked a few old rulers by the way. , "No, it's not that kind of monster. Morkidian is the greatest member of the old existence, compared to those sealed lake demon gods—also ashamed to call themselves gods—and larvae—"

Keshira: "Huh?"

"—I didn't say anything," the elder changed his words obediently. "The great Mordiggian is not that kind of thing. It is the dark void itself that covers this passage. Mordiggian is darkness, and darkness is mole." Kidian. Didn't you just feel cold all the time? That feeling...that coldness is Morkidian himself."

Chen Qiang suddenly felt a strange feeling - ever since he came to this underground, that cold feeling has always existed.In the dark, it seems that a pair of eyes from ancient times are watching him.

"...!"

[Chen Qiang succeeded in sanity test 33/43]

[1D8=8, affected by "spiritual solidification", the loss is halved, and the current sanity is 39 points]

Chen Qiang staggered back a few steps.

"Don't worry. The great Mordiggian regards you as an ally. You didn't hide your sincerity, but stood in your position to consider for us. We are willing to accept your help, and we will also assist the 'Fortress of Sanity' in the future .And I hope you can feel the kindness of ... it."

"..."

For the god of the shrine, it doesn't really matter whether the skeleton eaters stay on the earth or retreat to the dreamland.

The God of Darkness and Void maintains the boundary between life and death, and continues to watch over the boundary between life and death until the end of this planet, even...

Trembling, Chen Qiang took off Helena's monocle and picked up the phone.

In the "Secret Keeper's Notebook", a new entry has been updated.

【Mordiggian, the god of the mortuary, the guardian of the last corpse】

【力量185；体质385；体型：无意义；智力200；意志250；敏捷100】

[All attributes of Mordiggian increase over time.At the end of the universe, all attributes reached 1050. 】

...It is a god of this nature, Chen Qiang knew it in his heart.

……

Time to July.

Chen Qiang, who came to Arkham secretly through the underground passage of the skeleton eaters, has been mixing with the Kamen Rider crew for the past few days.

"It's almost time," he thought to himself.
