my cthulhu game

Chapter 233 I suspect I might be in a fake Arkham
Chen Qiang's logic was a bit far-fetched, but Lily and Margaret still reluctantly believed it.

"Look at this paper, look at this handwriting," Mrs. Megan said, "This book is "The Order of the Universe" by the great ancient Greek philosopher Democritus, a long-lost ancient book. Don't ask me the price , using 'price' to talk about such a treasure itself is a kind of disrespect to the treasure."

[Mrs. Megan’s persuasion check was successful at 41/55]

"Indeed..." Lily had also heard the name of this ancient philosopher.

"But the total cash in the store is less than a hundred dollars." Margaret said awkwardly.

"Well, let's take 95 US dollars, which is enough as pocket money," Chen Qiang "persuaded" that the prices in this era are very different from those 100 years later, "The books are just stored here. Wait until we get our money , we will take the book back and give the store... fifty dollars."

"Okay." Margaret agreed.She thought that she would use this time to show the book to the professors at the University of Michigan to see if it was genuine.

[Chen Qiang's detection check was 44/72 successful]

"One more merciless request..." Chen Qiang's eyes drifted over the "Arkham Gazette" on the table.

An announcement in the newspaper caught his attention.

[Middle College students were attacked in a big house in the suburbs; mentally unstable and have been transferred to a lunatic asylum for treatment]

More than one aurora lit up in the city yesterday.Maybe this person's attack is related to the time travel of other guys...?
Chen Qiang maintained a neither humble nor overbearing smile.

[Chen Qiang charm check 34/53 success]

"...Accompany us to the second-hand clothing store next door to get clothes that are not so eye-catching," Chen Qiang said solemnly, "then accompany me to the madhouse."

"..."

……

I, Lily Johnson.

Today is July 31st, and it’s nine o’clock in the morning.

I've been in Arkham for half a month.Miskanitok University was the school I wanted to attend, but I had always been worried about the atmosphere in Arkham.But now, standing in front of the second-hand clothing store, I suspected that I might have visited a fake Arkham.

My senior sister Margaret told me: Arkham is a free and advanced small city.I have always been skeptical about this.Maybe Miskani Tok University is an open institution of higher learning, but Arkham Town has a long history after all, no matter how prosperous it is, there is bound to be a phenomenon of conformity.

"Let's go." The two who walked out of the old clothes shop had already changed into two very decent clothes.

I smile...

I'm convinced now.

Such as "The real witches escaped the Salem Trial and fled to Arkham, and their descendants have taken root in the alleys of Arkham Town, and people dare not go out at night"——

In this way, all the rumors about Arkham Town are all false rumors!

("Chen Qiang," Mrs. Megan reminded Chen Qiang in a low voice, taking advantage of the distraction of Lily who was leading the way, "Nowhere in Arkham in this era is safe.")
This is a welcoming town.The sky here is blue, the river is clear, the grass is green...

(Mrs. Megan is worried: "According to records, the meteorite in the sky brought two creatures called 'Star Color'; the deep divers gathered in Innsmouth Town will visit here from time to time along the Miskani Tok River ; the file shows that the local gang would bury people in the grass in the suburbs...")
...The streets and alleys are full of cute cats. I think we also witnessed an auroral phenomenon that is of great scientific research value last night, and we didn't see any signs of wizards.

(Mrs. Megan is always vigilant about her surroundings: "'Green Delta' is still looking for a witch code-named 'Nahab' until the 21st century. It is said that she is the real wizard of Salem and participated in the founding of Arkham. Beware of those kittens and puppies, they will be used by those wizards.”)
There was even a lost girl of elementary school age wandering around the street safe and sound, which shows the simplicity of Arkham folk customs.

(Some crappy wizard who was limping away to Boston, the image wall was so miserable, shivered—someone must be cursing me!)
By the way, she was obsessed with Edgar Allan Poe's collection even when she was walking down the street.

Arkham - This is a peaceful, open small town with ancient and beautiful streets, as well as the most beautiful and equal campus in the United States.

On the campus of the University of Michigan, there are international students from all over the world, many of whom are from poor countries; the visiting Indian scholars have received a warm welcome, and there are also professional Chinese translators to assist the professors in their work; although they have not been able to officially obtain student status , but the campus also allows educated blacks to enter; some black businessmen from the Harlem area of ​​New York opened shops on the street.

Oh, Arkham, the most beautiful college town in my heart.

Somehow there are so many rumors surrounding Arkham?Don't people realize that this is a peaceful and peaceful town?
……

Lily is not the only one who suspects "I might have a fake Arkham."

21st century.

Hog Barker, a police officer in Arkham Township, Massachusetts, runs wild in the suburbs.

"I might be working in a fake Arkham." He thought with some dismay.

This is not a peaceful and peaceful town at all!

There really are Kamen Riders in this world!Right here in Arkham!

There are organizations like Men in Black in this world!They also established a stronghold in Arkham!
Professor Dyer often spoke of "real mysteries," but when undoubted paranormal phenomena actually appeared in front of me, Officer Barker was still in disbelief.

The "men in black" told the Buck brothers and sisters that a group of monsters in human skins had been hidden in their town hundreds of years ago, and the mission of the organization was to save us from the threat of these monsters.

Officer Buck was skeptical.He was not a native of Arkham, but he had lived here for more than ten years.He knew that Arkham was by no means a pure land, and invisible evils were growing in the alleys; but he also had a hard time accepting that this was a cave where cosmic monsters lurk.

However, whether it was luck or misfortune, on the first day the Buck brothers and sisters were under house arrest, an accident happened at the temporary base of the "Men in Black".

After a period of dizziness, the temporarily decorated room turned into the appearance of an old factory building decades ago, and the door lock disappeared.According to the intelligence eavesdropped by Officer Buck, a mysterious "time and space transfer event" occurred, and the building from 100 years ago flew to the present.

Well, Officer Barker thought optimistically, there are already Kamen Riders and Men in Black, and one more time travel is not a big deal.

Several leaders of the "Men in Black" appear to be missing.While they were in chaos, Officer Buck escaped from the stronghold.He'd love to save his sister, but right now it's hard to tell, and not even the Sheriff can be trusted.

at last.Officer Buck decided to go back to Miskanitock University to meet Professor Dale and discuss with him before making a plan.

　The "Haunted House" module that comes with the sixth edition tops the list of module popularity: Americans have a strong haunted house complex.
