Chapter 227 The Crazy City Interlaced by Time and Space

Three 10 minutes later.

Chen Qiang used the pickup truck to take the two newly harvested investigators, Miguel and Elizabeth, back to the chemical plant in the temporary base.Elizabeth was sleeping soundly in the back seat, while poor Miguel was stuffed into the cargo box again.

Just as the car stopped, a familiar figure came into his eyes.

"Little Snow!"

The sky was full of stars. Qing Lingxue was standing at the door of the chemical plant waiting for him in a snow-white dress.Before Chen Qiang could say anything more, Qin Lingxue gave him a warm hug.Chen Qiang gently stroked her hair.

"Cough!" Qin Yixian coughed not far away, reminding the two that there were still many "audience" present.

Qin Lingxue blushed and separated from Chen Qiang.Not far away, Helena, who had changed into a lavender dress, made a "everything goes well" gesture.

"Do you know how many times I called you!" Qin Lingxue suddenly started her chatter, "You know, if you are also in danger, I..."

"Okay," Chen Qiang put his hand on Xiaoxue's shoulder, "Look, I'm fine."

Qin Yixian touched his chin.

"Xiaoxue, she is really worried about you," he said, "She almost lost her father in Arkham, and she can't lose you again."

"Almost." Chen Qiang immediately caught the point of Qin Yixian's words.

Two years ago, the team of detectives who went missing in Arkham, except for Qin Lingxue, a survivor whose sanity was on the verge of collapse, should be defined as "all wiped out".

"Uncle Yuantu...is he still alive?" Chen Qiang asked in surprise.Qin Lingxue rarely mentioned her father Qin Yuantu to Chen Qiang, while Qin Yixian described him as a taciturn warrior.

Perhaps, Qin Lingxue, who had recovered her memory, found the possibility that her father was still alive deep in her memory?
"I can't say... To be precise, when Xiaoxue returned, Uncle Yuantu did not die in the mission," Qin Yixian said, recalling Qin Lingxue's briefing, "But you see, the reality is not Dongying Animation. The situation is a bit special... ..."

Qin Yixian hesitated for a moment, but Qin Lingxue bravely spoke up.

"Father, he's gone," Qin Lingxue said, "staying in [-] to carry out the final mission. I think...he..."

Her voice was a little choked, but she held it back in the end.

"[-]?" Chen Qiang vaguely understood the facts contained in Qin Lingxue's words.

"Maybe this sounds incredible. Two years ago, Uncle Yuantu and Xiaoxue's team traveled back 100 years to Arkham in the early 20th century in Arkham Town," Qin Yixian said seriously, "They were in Arkham Town. Missing here for only a few hours, but spent months on the other side."

"Xiaoxue's consciousness has been protected from being targeted by the 'hounds'," Helena said, "but this protection has also cost her: her memory has become blurred, only intermittently. fragments."

Chen Qiang was speechless for a long time.It is the best ending that Qin Yuantu is still alive, but a century of time makes people feel desperate.

Even if Qin Yuantu survived the danger, he must have passed away by now.

"But... there is always a way..." Chen Qiang recalled that Gu Shiyin had played with a portal capable of traveling through time, as well as an expert who transcended time like Yisi.

The system did not pop up a new prompt.

"It's difficult." Helena shook her head.

Time is not a simple one-way line. The great race of Yis can go back in time, but there is no guarantee that it will bring back a specific person from a specific point in time.

"We can't go back," Qin Lingxue took Chen Qiang's hand, "but at least, Dad may still be living peacefully in a distant time, away from those nightmares in the water."

"Wait a minute. Xiaoxue," Chen Qiang keenly captured the key words in Xiaoxue's words, "Nightmare in the water. What exactly did you encounter in [-]? The enemy... Who is it?"

……

The time is three o'clock in the morning.

Pickman Orthopedic Center.

"If I were you," Pickman sneered, "I wouldn't intervene in the 'Fortress of Sanity'. Their power is beyond our imagination, but as long as we don't fall into their hands, they can't do anything to us."

"The missing ones are my men, not yours," Mr. Shani growled. "You should thank me. Over the years, I have covered up many facts for Arkham. Two years ago, that Delta team disappeared here , if I hadn’t covered up your secrets, they would have dug your family’s bottom three feet into the ground.”

"Maybe." Pickman ignored him.A Shoggoth is a Shoggoth, and after living for hundreds of millions of years, this IQ basically bid farewell to the dominion of the earth.

Compared with Mr. Shani, an outsider, the Pickman family has a deeper understanding of Arkham's ancient secrets.

Suddenly he stopped.

"Wait," Pickman went to the window, "what is this?"

……

In front of the chemical plant.

"Before I saw the indescribable monster with my own eyes, that name was mentioned in the ancient documents of the Qin family, the report before the establishment of the Green Delta, and the ruins of the Pacific Islands," Xiaoxue still didn't know what Chen Qiang knew Much more than her, "I can't pronounce the name exactly, it's mentioned in different ways in a lot of literature. Sounds a bit like Kesu—"

"Let's go in and talk about it in detail," Chen Qiang said.

Regardless of whether to rescue Qin Yuantu and others who were stranded in 1920, there are too many things waiting for the investigators to deal with Arkham in Hidden Dragon and Crouching Tiger.

Suddenly Qin Lingxue looked up at the sky—a terrified expression appeared on her face.However, Chen Qiang did not hear the reminder of the deduction of the SAN value.

"Aurora?" Following Qin Lingxue's gaze, Chen Qiang raised his head and saw the colorful aurora floating above the chemical plant.

"aurora?"

"No. How could there be aurora in Arkham?" Qin Yixian also came to his senses.

"Impossible." Helena, who was basically equivalent to the elite of the Yisi people, gradually froze.

"...It's it." Xiaoxue trembled, pointing at the aurora hovering in the sky.The magnificent aurora seems to be slowly descending towards the ground.

Can't go wrong.

She can never be wrong...

Two years ago, it was the same light that sent her and her father back to the past.

……

madhouse.

Gu Shun looked up at the sky.

"Aurora?" The director of the madhouse was astonished.The guards were also uneasily watching the light curtain above them.

……

"Bastard, why did this happen to us!" Pickman yelled.

"What kind of magic is this?" Mr. Charney cursed like a flute.

"We have definitely been calculated," Pickman growled. "Now, you'd better remember where you were 100 years ago."

……

Bigby was lying in the grass, not far from a big decaying house.

"I knew this would never end." The old magician whispered, staring at the rain of light gradually enveloping him.

……

"It's this light that sends us back to the past!" Qin Lingxue shouted.

The light became stronger and stronger, and the system prompt finally sounded.

The seventh and last hidden mission finally revealed its true face.

[Mission: Find Qin Yuantu under the threat of Cthulhu, has started]

"Damn it." Chen Qiang instantly understood why Naia brought up the topic of "morning sunshine".

The sun still rose, but what everyone saw was not the sun of the next day.

……

Stephana's red Porsche races down the highway.

"Is this also in your plan?" Miss Yi raised her eyebrows.

"Oh, don't make it sound like I'm meddling," Stephana smiled, "It was the Arkham wizard a century ago that caused the space-time phenomenon. People who have been summoned once are easy to be summoned again, and I It's just having the right people in the right place at the right time, that's all."

"Their magic can only summon one or two people. Last time you increased the power of the entire magic, but this time the movement is even greater. A crappy human wizard alone cannot have such a big impact."

"Don't say that. The power to amplify the magic is our party itself. At this point in time, Arkham has turned into a beacon of time and space, making the summoning spell...better than expected and a super success."

"So how many guys did you send back?" Miss Yi squinted.

The successive auroras in Arkham City are like exploding fireworks.

"It's beautiful. Isn't it?" Stephana answered irrelevantly.

The Porsche was gone.

……

In the distance, the fiery red "Tindaros Falcon" lingered outside the aurora, and then suddenly disappeared.
