Chapter 223 The Feast of the Demons: Madness
In the temporary stronghold of "Green Delta" and "N Network".

At first, except for Cecilu, who blamed herself ("The duty of a bodyguard is to protect the employer at all times!"), everyone was not too worried about Chen Qiang's solo attack.He left a text message saying "I'm going out for a while", and everyone knows that Chen Qiang likes to act alone.

However, an hour later, Chen Qiang did not say anything about coming back, nor did he make any calls (no one dared to call Chen Qiang for fear that he was in crisis), and the location could not be found. This was very worrying. .

No one knew that the insidious Stephana had turned on signal blocking in the hotel...

Considering that Qin Lingxue's mental treatment is about to end, maybe Chen Qiang sneaked back to Qin Lingxue's side through the ghoul tunnel.Thinking of this, Qin Yixian called Helena.

……

It is night in the United States, but it is morning in China on the other side of the ocean.

"You mean Mr. Chen Qiang?" Helena shook her head, "No, he didn't come here. I called him just now, but I couldn't get through. Xiaoxue's treatment has ended."

Qin Yixian sighed.

"I know," the eldest son of the Qin family muttered. He had already regarded Chen Qiang as his brother-in-law, and couldn't help but feel worried, "I hope he is okay. How is Xiaoxue's condition?"

"Her mental state is much more stable than expected," Helena said gently. "The treatment effect is very good. Now, she will sleep peacefully for a while."

"So, her memory..."

"I wanted to be the first to tell Mr. Chen Qiang - I think she will fully recover when she wakes up."

"Thank you very much, Ms. Helena. As for Mr. Chen, we are also looking for him." Qin Yixian's face became more serious, "Arkham is only this big. No matter where he went..."

"You should trust Mr. Chen Qiang," Helena said, "it's you yourself. In the past few days, Erika has complained to me more than once, saying that I can't see you. At any rate, you should also learn from Mr. Chen, and use the virtual helmet and Let's meet her."

Qin Yixian smiled awkwardly.For the past few days, his fiancée Erika Fujiwara, as Helena's assistant, has been taking care of Xiaoxue, so he just makes a routine call every day.

[Helena's Psychology Test 42/98 succeeded]

"When you find Mr. Chen, go and accompany Erika." Helena read Qin Yixian's thoughts from Qin Yixian's voice, "Now Xiaoxue doesn't need me here, and I will go to Arkham too. . I heard that it is a town with beautiful scenery, maybe I can build the American branch of the Theosophical Society there. "

"It would be great if you are willing to help." Qin Yixian said sincerely.

"You should have more trust in Mr. Chen Qiang. On the bright side, he might be having a big meal with a group of new friends in a lively hall."

……

Arkham Airport Hotel.

Ballroom.

Dean Gu Shun was very depressed, and drank the red wine in his hand.

Originally, he was the protagonist today: he was supposed to arrest Bigby and Miguel with the full support of the people in the city, and prove that the madhouse is capable of handling all crises; Taos' Power Projection" sample.

It is obvious that two happy things overlapped together...but why?Why did it become like this?

The press conference was forcibly canceled.All the human staff of the asylum were turned away—those damn Chuchus had no respect for themselves.In the end, Dean Gu Shun hurried in with only a tall and mighty Kunyang bodyguard and a Leng manservant.

Stephana left, and there was a small conflict between the deep divers who hurried from the river and the ghouls who arrived earlier to compete for the position of waiter.

The Kunyang bodyguards with bronzed cheeks protected Dean Gu Shun behind him.

"Never mind." Gu Shun said proudly, watching Xu Dela and Pickman stop the quarrel among his subordinates.

He took a glass of ice-cold red wine from the little Leng servant and drank it down.In the scorching summer, this Leng tribe man wore a fat robe to conceal his horns and hooves which were very different from normal humans.

"At least I'm eligible for a seat." Sitting on the hexagonal dining chair, Gu Shun was satisfied.

It is a large banquet hall that can accommodate nearly a hundred people to eat at the same time, but at the moment, there are only twelve seats.There is a separate dining table in front of each seat.

With the stereoscopic projector placed in the center of the banquet hall as the center, the twelve thrones are connected to form a strange arc that is neither a semicircle nor an ellipse, nor a parabola or a hyperbola.Gu Shun sat on the seat closest to the entrance, literally the last seat.

"Someone is here." Gu Shun's heart skipped a beat.

Two figures walked into the banquet hall, one behind the other.

"It turned out to be... the boss of the fortress of reason?" Gu Shun, who has been active in human society all year round, recognized Chen Qiang at a glance, and couldn't help but widen his eyes.

……

Those two were naturally Stephana and Chen Qiang.

In the spacious banquet hall, twelve spacious hexagonal seats formed a weird arc, and most people could only stand.To Chen Qiang's surprise, although the people in the hall were ugly and deformed, what caught his attention immediately was not the creatures with two hands, two legs and complete five senses, but the three-dimensional projection device in the center of the banquet hall.

In the center of the dark background, a cube shone with magnificent light, rolling from the inside out.At a certain moment, Chen Qiang was quite sure that it flashed its seventh face, which cannot exist geometrically.

【SC1D6/1D20】

[Chen Qiang succeeded in sanity test 24/44]

【1D6=1】

"..."

Chen Qiang resolutely gave up trying to count how many sides the thing had.

The eyes of the entire hall were focused on Chen Qiang and Stephana.Not far away, a group of guys with outstanding "Innsmouth looks" bowed to Chen Qiang and Stephana: these half-human, half-fish creatures, even in human costumes, still make people uncomfortable with their bulging fish heads.

【SC1/1D6】

[Chen Qiang failed sanity test 94/43]

【1D6=4】

[Due to the influence of "spiritual solidification", the actual loss is 2 points, and the current sanity is 41]

After mental preparation, the appearance of these deep divers is not too scary, but the pungent smell on their bodies is still unbearable.

"..."

Resisting the urge to vomit on the spot, Chen Qiang silently increased his sanity back to the full value of 44.

[Current sanity pool: 132]

All eyes were on Chen Qiang—obviously, everyone was full of curiosity about the guest whom Stephana greeted personally.

Chen Qiang noticed that there are three different specifications of hexagonal seats: the four seats closest to the indescribable polyhedron in the center are the largest; the two in the middle are the second largest; and the six outer seats are the smallest.

A one-eyed old man with the appearance of India sat on the deepest throne, looking at Chen Qiang kindly.The second and third thrones are left blank, and the fourth throne is Miss Yi.

Under it, the fifth seat with the second largest seat was left empty, and the sixth seat was occupied by Ksheela who was staring at the phone and unwilling to let go.

The seats on either side of Khashira were empty.On the eighth and ninth seats sit a man and a woman with distinct Innsmouth features.Fat Mr. Shani—Chen Qiang saw his photo from Gup’s mobile phone—sat in the tenth place, and No.11 was Pickman. His real person was thinner than he appeared in the TV camera Some.Finally, the No.12 seat was a Chinese, and Chen Qiang guessed that he was Mr. Gu Shun, the director of the madhouse.
