Chapter 189 The Road to Arkham
Robin Selman didn't know that even though he had been cautious, he was the only one who did not sign the "cooperation contract" (the version with hidden investigator clauses) provided by Chen Qiang (from the perspective of a occultist, this This contract cannot be related to the mysterious phenomenon, but from a lawyer's point of view, even if the contract itself is impeccable, the act of "getting someone to sign it" itself is suspicious), Chen Qiang still pulled him into the ranks of investigators.
His sanity is only 5, and Chen Qiang only needs to consume 5 points of sanity pool to forcibly see his cards...

By the standards of normal investigators, Robin Selman is considered "professional".
However, in Chen Qiang's eyes, he can only be regarded as mediocre—first of all, his sanity is too low, and his ability is not so strong that Chen Qiang sacrifices his sanity pool to raise his sanity; secondly, there are only "hero investigators" in the house ", there are Chen Qiang, Helena, and Mr. Beethoven, who are so much better than Lawyer Robin that I don't know where they are...
……
Along the path behind the mountain, Robin Selman walked to a small Ksitigarbha on the side of the road.This is a stone statue that can be seen everywhere in Japan, and there are faint footprints like wild dogs nearby.
"Come out," said Attorney Selman, "I know you're there."
Two hunched figures jumped out of the grass by the roadside.They have rubber-like skin, dark red eyes, and pointed ears, like two big dogs that can walk upright.Both "persons" were dressed in clothes, especially the taller one, who was wearing a gorgeous purple robe, and his face was covered with a silver mask. If you look carefully, you can find that it is actually made of the bones of some kind of creature. .
"Salute to the two envoys of the skeleton eaters," Attorney Selman bowed slightly, "Thank you for keeping watch for us."
These two are naturally members of the ghoul family.All over the world, in graves and dark corners of the earth, these corpse-eating creatures live.
"It's okay," the purple-robed priest said indifferently, "My clan lives here forever, and I'm willing... to do an old friend a favor."
"You owe me a favor," Robin Selman said coldly, his green eyes flickering. "You promised me that you would help me three times in total, and this is the second time."
Robin Selman took a lot of risks in the Egyptian desert to make these carcasses owe him a favor.Standing at the top of these creatures are the priests dedicated to the old ruler, the "God of the Shrine" Mordiggian, and the purple-robed man in front of him is one of them.
Mordiggian forbids members of his command to kill humans without reason or feed on human corpses.Even so, there are still some crazy people who do not hesitate to resist Morkidian and attack humans secretly.The priests of Mordiggian hunted them down, sometimes seeking the cooperation of humans.Robin got a promise from them, as long as Robin speaks, the ghouls will help him three times...
Nothing happened tonight, Lawyer Robin was both thankful and distressed.Fortunately, I am safe, but distressed that this favor was wasted in vain.
If I knew it earlier, I wouldn't need to call any vigil...
"We will only help you three times in total, and this is the second time," the purple-robed priest said indifferently, obviously in Japan, but his English has a strong British accent, "This time it's over. and……"
"What?" Robin stared.Could it be that this old guy wants to swallow it for the third time?
"...I have a condition, if you do it," the purple-robed priest said leisurely, "this time is free, and the next time will be counted from the second time."
"What?" Robin Selman was overjoyed.Could it be that the other party's rotten brain suddenly opened up and realized the importance of oneself?
"I want you to introduce us to Mr. Chen Qiang," said the purple-robed priest, unable to see the expression under his mask. "If you can do it, our clan doesn't mind helping one more time."
"..."
Find him yourself for that kind of thing!Doesn't Huaguo also have your members!I don't know him well!Robin thought.
"If he refuses to come, remember to tell him," the old priest urged, as if worried, "Our family has a secret method to enter Arkham. He will come."
When they met, they were using Lao Xu's relationship to make household chores, the priest thought.
"You guy, do you understand?" said the young ghoul who accompanied the priest, but he spoke typical "Japanese English".
"I will definitely do it." Attorney Robin Selman bowed politely, with a perfectly standardized smile cultivated by years of legal career, "Mr. Chen Qiang and I hit it off. Please wait for me good news."
……
moment.
In the hot spring hotel.
"I object," said Xiao Yezi, "We need as many means of transportation as possible to the United States. There is no need to rely on... suspicious people."
Just as everyone was preparing to have a meeting on the Arkham issue, Robin threw out such a suggestion.
"My friends are not suspicious," Robin Selman smiled. "They are really capable of helping us. If we want to secretly enter Arkham Town for investigation, their strength is indispensable."
Chen Qiang pondered for a while, and the Keeper's Eye activated silently.
[Chen Qiang succeeded in the psychology test 52/73]
The lawyer obviously has deep faith in his friend, but the problem is that even if the lawyer himself has "good intentions", it does not mean that he has not been deceived by others.
However, now that he is strong and strong, it doesn't hurt to meet his so-called friends.
"Xiao Bai, you stay," Chen Qiang said to Bai Shaobao, "stay with Shi Li."
"Yatsen and I will also stay here," Fujiwara Erika said, "I discussed with Yixian, just in case, we don't want to get together."
"Xiaoxue, are you okay?" Chen Qiang looked at his girlfriend.
"I'm fine." Xiaoxue made an OK gesture.
Chen Qiang took a deep breath.
"Then let's divide the left-behind group and the exploration group like this," he said, "Let's go, let's go as soon as possible. We will talk about the rest as we walk."
