my cthulhu game

Chapter 234 Who Is He?
Buck didn't know that his every move was being watched: Professor Dale had a few simple communications with "Green Delta", and the Buck brothers and sisters showed the potential to become agents, and "Green Delta" hoped to recruit them in the future Come to the organization.

But the most urgent task right now is the overall crossing event without warning.

The factory building in the 21st century is swapped with the old factory building in the 20th century. If this kind of thing gets out, it will cause a big commotion.

The "Green Delta", as if facing the enemy, surrounded the whole place.Missing lists are reviewed over and over again, and all staff members who were left in the present during the transfer process are scrutinized.

Fortunately, with the help of an "Is agent" (Bai Shaobao next to Is), the organization has already got in touch with the members who traveled back.At least this time the time on both sides is running in sync, which means there is a chance that people in the 21st century can help too.

Apart from some silly rumors on the Internet, today's Arkham is calm as usual. "Green Delta" fabricated a "chimney collapsed" lie, and no boring citizens chose to go to the scene to find out.

150 years ago, it was a bankrupt textile factory; 100 years ago, it was a bankrupt cartridge factory; 50 years ago, it was a chemical factory, and now it is bankrupt again, even the chimneys have collapsed, that's all.

"You must come back safely." Su Yingliu and others, who had become friends with Qin Yixian and others, secretly looked forward to it.

……

One nine two three.

Walking on the streets of Arkham, Lily became more and more curious about Chen Qiang's origin.

Today this strange Chinese man has completely subverted her concept.

Her aunt Grace once taught her that as women, they should learn to judge the other's lifestyle from the clues of a man's behavior.As long as there is enough patience and time, even a visitor from a foreign country who has never seen him can deduce his moral habits and cultural ways from clues.

"...Okay." Lily clenched her fists.

My uncle used to say that, unlike her brave Norwegian father, Lily had inherited reason from her mother's family, even a little too much (a little bit less like a girl).

There is only one thing that Lily insists on the character of the Nordic people: whatever she decides to figure out, she will figure it out no matter what, and no one can stop her.

Lily, calm down and think, she said to herself.

My time with this Chinese man is too short... she thought.But Mr. Chen has shown enough amazing details for her to analyze.

"A novel by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle."

Maybe she could estimate his way of life in the way of the great London detective Sherlock Holmes?

Time is limited, maybe it's worth a try.Poor Dr. Watson did not learn to keep pace with Holmes in the end...

[Lily's anthropology check with punishment is 1/20 a big success]

"Oh fine……"

In Lily's view: this Mr. Chen (he said his surname was Chen, so he ruled out the possibility that he is from Dongying) is fluent in English. He may have grown up in the British Isles, but his accent does not look like .

No matter what standard is used, Mr. Chen can be called elegant in speech, erudite in memory, and highly educated; but he often has a few words and usages that he doesn't understand.

Mr. Chen’s clothes at the beginning were neat (the style Lily hadn’t seen before, but they were almost brand new), his exquisite leather shoes were shiny, and he avoided every pothole on the street intentionally or unintentionally—Lily thought that in his hometown, the roads were more difficult than Arkham is much smoother.

His pockets were also bulging, but it was impossible to confirm what was in them.

He carried a cane in his hand—strange?Did he have this in his hand when he first came in?Or, the wonderful oriental magic?

[Lily intelligence (memory) test failed 95/70]

...can't remember.

The cane itself is very delicate, but judging from his movements, he is not used to carrying it for shopping.

Like many tourists, Mr. Chen will cast his eyes on every shop on the street; but when he sees the products in the shop, he will show disgust or lack of interest, and immediately shrink back.

"I should have seen such a person..."

Like an Old World nobleman, or a gentleman from New York or Boston visiting a strange backwater, he is curious about everything he sees and at the same time dismissive of everything that grows within.

Lily couldn't help recalling the scene of going to the coast of Africa with her uncle.A single Englishman or Frenchman can watch over a hundred natives there.

The natives brought all kinds of "fresh" gadgets from the depths of the mainland, but Lily's uncle and other gentlemen from modern civilization always had the same expressions as Chen Qiang at this time.The aborigines stared at the cities built by modern people, but they couldn't understand how modern people did it.

The sky was high and the clouds were clear, and the three of them (Lily's senior sister Margaret stayed in Harden's second-hand bookstore to watch the store) walked across the bridge over the Miskani Tok River.

"Sir, are you from Huaguo?" Lily asked proactively.

"Yes." Chen Qiang replied gently.

Mrs. Megan frowned.She actually wanted Chen Qiang to give him a Dongying surname: In this era of the North American continent, it is better to call yourself a Dongying person than a Huaguo person.However, Chen Qiang does not seem to intend to back down on this issue.

"How long have you been in America?"

"it's been a while."

Counting the time in the future, that's it, Chen Qiang thought.

"Is this your first time in Massachusetts?"

"Maybe we should talk about London?"

[Lily's psychology test failed 52/33]

No matter how hard Lili tried to use the stereotypes, Chen Qiang just wouldn't be fooled.Mrs. Meghan can properly and politely divert the topic to boring novels and weather issues no matter how Lily chats, which makes Lily very frustrated.

Lily summed up her conclusions so far:
Mr. Chen is a native of China; he is very rich, well-educated, and extremely confident in dealing with people; he grew up in a very developed place and spent most of his time in the city. In his eyes, Arkham Town The countryside that people hate, or has a technological view that is beyond the times; the British aristocracy is nothing more than an equal partner to him.

"Are they an organization similar to the Communist Party? No, no."

"Did he have an experience similar to that of Captain Nemo?"

Lily's imagination suddenly reminded of the characters in "Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea".Captain Nemo is an Indian, but he travels around the world with his high-tech submarine.

"A hermit from Eastern Taoism?"

"Alien agent?"

"Mrs. Helena Blavatsky's 'Heaven and Man'?"

"A businessman who has been exposed to future technology?"

Lily fell into a sci-fi fandom.

She didn't know that she had already begun to approach the truth...

……

[Chen Qiang failed the psychology test 83/73]

[Mrs. Megan's Psychology Test 10/80 success]

[What do you think she is thinking? 】Chen Qiang used the dialogue function of the system to transmit voice to Mrs. Megan.

[Be careful not to give away, even if she has a little doubt in her heart,] Mrs. Meghan said, [We also have amnestics. 】

【what do you mean? 】Chen Qiang understands.

[We should keep an eye on one or two people for contact,] Mrs. Meghan said gently, [After the matter is over, we will call together to clear the memory and we'll be done. 】

　Some of the names in the next few chapters come from the campaign mod "Shadow of Yog-Sothoth", trying to get another chapter out before the evening. PS: Send a few complaints, the proportion of relaxed plots is relatively high at present, because some things cannot be written at all under the current situation, the squid master wrote a ceremony and then the chapters are revised, and the general authors may be directly blocked chapters or even screened. Book.I try my best to write the plot while maintaining the outline, but it is still inevitable to modify. Sometimes I write 3000 words and delete it to 2000 words and then increase it to 2500 words. I really think that my hair is gray...
