Chapter 218: Gourd Baby Saves Grandpa
I, Gup Shani.

I'm a half-Shoggoth.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not a hybrid of a Shoggoth father and a human mother, nor is my generous boss, Mr. Shani, my real father.

Agents of Project Oath had witnessed my transition from human form to shoggoth form and made plans to capture me.Then they all died—these human beings who think with their brains (I think the brain as a thinking organ has limited efficiency) did not realize that my birth is inextricably linked with their immediate superiors.

In the report written by the rank-and-file agent, I was described as an "Arctic explorer who has seen too much" (they are too stupid, as any earth-smart race with a common sense of mythology can see, Shouldn't it be about Antarctica?), or the monstrosities created by the lurid biological experiments of the US Special Service (presumably from too many movies).

In fact, I am just an ordinary test-tube baby born in an ordinary clinic in the United States...

Well, not an ordinary baby.My father and mother were ordinary humans, but the doctor who helped me to be born worshiped the great "Dream Witch" who mixed the elements of Shoggoth in my genes and finally made me who I am now.

You can imagine how angry my white parents were when they saw me born as a "black" (influenced by the Shoggoth factor).They went to the clinic to question the teacher, but the place was already empty.

In the end, the human couple reluctantly raised me.

Until one day, I, who just started to remember things, showed my true colors and scared the two of them into the madhouse.

With the intervention of the "Project Oath" (in which the dream witch can be seen faintly), this incident was finally treated as an ordinary misfortune.The one who adopted me afterwards was Mr. Shani, my true kin, and accepted me as one of them.

Compared with most Shoggoths created in prehistoric times, I am more "fickle" and smarter with human genes.My human factor not only allows me to quickly learn human knowledge, but also allows me to change my appearance at will without relying on magic.

I am proud of my intelligence.You know, many shoggoths have wandered underground for hundreds of millions of years and still haven't learned to evolve their vocal organs!
Another of Mr. Shaney's squires, Billy, spent hundreds of years learning English alone.Just look at his stupid look, and I can see why Mr. Charney thinks so much of me.The Shoggoths have never lacked strength, but those with wisdom are not so easy to find!

Now, I have to deal with the extra work caused by Billy's stupidity.

Commonly known as: overtime.

Billy disappeared, and we couldn't find out where he was.Mr. Shaney was furious and asked me to search all the sewers in Arkham and dig it out.

I hate working overtime.I'm not worried about the bonus, and if I don't get Billy out soon, I won't even have time for liver games.So, I had to think of a way to get things done.

In my opinion, Billy is stupid, but loyal.It must have chased the ancient race that mimicked human form and left, but obviously, it was knocked down by some spell or powerful bodyguard at the moment.As long as you find that ancient race, everything will be solved.

Now I'm standing in front of an abandoned chemical plant.

For several hours, I kept casting spells to search for the ancient race in the suburbs, and it was found for me.

My magic power is almost dry, but my human blood allows me to maintain a perfect human form without magic power.

The only thing that scared me was that there seemed to be many people stationed in the chemical plant; perhaps the ancient race had confused many people and built a temporary base.

Direct attack is obviously not a good idea.But I have a better plan.

As long as someone leaves the house, attack one of them, and then change into his appearance, I can sneak in openly.

I wandered around there for half an hour.Finally, several figures left the chemical plant.

……

Gu Shiyin stayed quietly in a small room.

The appearance of Shoggoths filled her heart with fear; however, recalling that Shoggoth was turned into a dazed "surrealist sculpture" by Chen Qiang's words and obeyed Chen Qiang's words, Gu Shiyin's heart was filled with fear. Calm down again.

Thinking about it carefully, there is a flashy Kamen Rider in front of the Shoggoth. The originally terrifying scene becomes unexpectedly joyful...

Chen Qiang can protect his own safety, Gu Shiyin thought.In this world, only he has the ability to protect his own safety.

……

In the shadows around the far corner of the chemical plant.

"Are you sure?" said Mrs. Megan.

It was the first time she had caught the legendary human-shaped Shoggoth.There is still one?
"Green Delta" and "N Network" collectively face the enemy, but will the enemy really line up one by one?

[Mrs. Megan failed the detection check 92/90]

[Qin Yixian failed the detection check 83/76]

[Chen Qiang's detection check was 34/72 successful]

"I'm sure," Chen Qiang said, and put on the transformation belt quietly, "he's already following up now."

While interrogating Billy, Chen Qiang also took time to pay attention to the "Myth Map", and successfully released the approach of the second Shoggoth.

"Maybe this one should be solved by us." Qin Yixian was a little embarrassed to rely on Chen Qiang's strength every time.

"It will cause casualties, brother." Chen Qiang didn't care.

Unlike the Barker brothers and sisters (they are currently under house arrest in a chemical factory compartment after witnessing the "supernatural phenomenon" for the first time), Qin Yixian and Mrs. Meghan have signed investigator contracts, and their current sanity value is also very considerable. Chen Qiang still hopes to recover a little sanity pool, no matter how small a mosquito is, it is still meat...

Ahem, how could I cheat my allies!Chen Qiang quickly passed the dangerous thought in his heart.

It would be nice to have a virtual trial to recover sanity after the battle of Arkham is over.

"What are you thinking?" Qin Yixian was suspicious.

[Qin Yixian succeeded in the psychology test 23/40]

Chen Qiang is definitely thinking about something extremely dangerous!
"Nothing." Chen Qiang replied gently.

……

Around a corner, Garp became aware of the trio's chatter.

[Gap listening check failed 90/75]

Ge Pu prided himself on his eyes and ears, but he couldn't hear what Chen Qiang was saying.

The human shoggoth felt restless.He couldn't help speeding up his pace, wanting to get closer to Chen Qiang and the others.

then……

Chen Qiang stopped suddenly and turned around on the spot.

Garp, who had just turned the corner, was caught off guard.

The moon and stars are scarce, and the sparrows fly south.One person and one Shoggoth, less than ten meters apart, staring at each other with big eyes.

"..."

Five seconds later.

"Mr. Chen?" Unlike Billy, who is uneducated, Gup still knows how to watch TV and play games, and he recognizes this as the big boss of "Fortress of Reason".

"It's me," Chen Qiang said gracefully, a little surprised that this Shoggoth could recognize himself without the mask, "Hello."

……

The top floor of the Orthopedic Treatment Center.

classroom.

Pickman was teaching a group of tribal ghouls new to human society.Pickman calls it "night school"—a required course for mythical creatures to infiltrate human society.

"What we are going to talk about today is..." Mr. Pickman said, calling up a cartoon paper-cut style PPT, "...the strategy we should adopt once we are discovered by humans."

"What is this?" The students looked at the PPT curiously.

"It's a very classic old Huaguo animation. There is a famous saying in Huaguo, called 'Calabash Babies Save Grandpa—Send them one by one'. In our world, the more powerful an individual is, the easier it is to make such mistakes..."

Pickman didn't realize it, his reliable Shoggoth ally was saving Grandpa with the gourd baby, sending the head to send information, and was rushing towards the direction of the transportation captain...
