Chapter 11 My Old Xu Just Wants to Live a Peaceful Life

Uncle Xu would never have dreamed that his secret had been known to Chen Qiang.

After the Secret Guard Toolbox is unlocked, Chen Qiang's mobile phone map has the function of "retrieving all mythical creatures and mythological books within a radius of 2,000 meters."

He can freely search for mythical creatures around him without worrying about being discovered!

How can you allow others to snore on the side of the bed?

In the past few days, Chen Qiang had already searched the entire university town on his bicycle.

What? Why not drive a car, or at least ride a small electric donkey?

Sorry, facing mythical biology knowledge is very important, but physical strength is also important. I, Chen Qiang, have to work hard to exercise from today!

Conclusion, besides the "King of Yellows" locked up by him, the only one in the university town that had mythological reactions was the ice cream shop where he worked, the mythical creature that spent most of the day in the store.

Plus...

In the contact list, Uncle Xu’s rational value is a beautiful 0.

"I can't believe it's you." Chen Qiang sighed at the "summer weird talk" in the mobile phone [the module that can be used at the moment].

Every time Chen Qiang approaches the ice cream shop, his phone will pop up the prompt "Whether to enter the module "Summer Strange Talk"". He is now a secret keeper and can freely decide whether to join the module or arrange for investigators to enter the module.

Speaking of which, isn’t it summer yet? Is the name of this module really OK?

...

Chen Qiang guessed that Uncle Xu’s secret was not groundless in the basement.

In his previous life, he also worked in Uncle Xu's ice cream shop. Uncle Xu did not stop him into the basement at that time.

Then... Uncle Xu's life's strictly prohibition of outsiders from entering his basement is related to the fact that the whole world has become the Cthulhu mythical world.

...

Chen Qiang tiptoed to the door at the end of the steps.

The door was closed, but Chen Qiang opened it with a slight touch.

Maybe Uncle Xu was too hasty when he left and didn't have time to lock the door.

Special tools prepared in advance are no longer available.

Taking a deep breath, Chen Qiang pushed open the door. He was ready to drop a little SAN (that is, rational value, all referred to as SAN value).

"……fine."

Chen Qiang directly ignored the freezers on the left that could be seen as belonging to human civilization. Some semi-corrupt livestock corpses hung on the ceiling on the right, but Uncle Xu specially built an incense burner in the corner, which greatly covered the smell of rottenness. Perhaps the effect of some magic here may not be certain.

But Chen Qiang's attention was focused on a small altar made of black rock in the corner of the wall. The altar was covered with a gray-white shroud, and an urn in the middle was engraved with strange strips of words.

"The old dominator—the god of the hidden corpse, the altar of the great ghoul Moldikian."

"Uncle Xu, you have indeed become a ghoul."

Chen Qiang glanced at his mechanical watch - at 11:45 pm.

...

Uncle Xu answered the phone longer than expected.

After putting down Lao Lu's phone call, Uncle Xu received another call from his daughter Xu Leilei.

After Chen Qiang told him during the day that he wanted to start a business, he sent a text message to Leilei asking her if this matter is reliable.

IT, I don’t understand, Leilei knows more than herself, right?

Xu Leilei, who lives in the school, is preparing to take the college entrance examination. She can only talk to her after evening self-study every day.

"Hey?" Lei Lei's noisy voice came through her cell phone, "Dad? You must persuade Brother Chen to stop!"

"How to pull it, Lei Lei..."

"He started his business!" Xu Leilei's words were anxious, "Dad, you don't know. Now college students start a business, and they will die for a lifetime! Especially for the game, the situation is not good this year, and they will die for ten times at all!"

"Okay, okay," Uncle Xu had a headache, "Chen Qiang is here, why don't you tell him yourself. Hey, Xiao Chen..."

Uncle Xu came out of the inner room, but Chen Qiang was not here.

He looked at the stairs leading to the basement. The door opened a crack.

“…”

Since he transformed from a human to a ghoul, Uncle Xu hasn't felt the feeling of fear for a long time. He even thought that he would no longer have the feeling of fear.

But at this moment, the ghoul was really scared.

"Leilee," Uncle Xu said decisively, "Dad will call you later."

Ignoring Leilei's screams, Uncle Xu hung up his cell phone and trotted to the basement.

Chen Qiang must have entered the basement.

Now, there is still room for recovery, Uncle Xu thought. Chen Qiang could not know that there are intelligent races other than humans in the world. Maybe he just heard some strange rumors.

Those dead animals can be covered with strange habits; the altar is called a work of art purchased!

In short, you must never let the truth that you are a ghoul be exposed!

My wife finally accepted the fact that she became a ghoul, and she must not let Leilei be frightened like this!

My old Xu just wants to live a peaceful life!

...

Chen Qiang heard Uncle Xu's rapid footsteps.

Here comes.

It was just 11:57 pm.

Unlike many people who think, the ghouls in Cthulhu mythology are not necro creatures. They either have the bloodline of ghouls, or are transformed into ghouls because they stayed in these scavenging cemeteries that were haunted by scavengers for a long time.

There are indeed many ghouls who give up all their reason and become abominable monsters who enjoy eating people, but some ghoul clans adhere to principles and only feed on animals' corpses. Mordigian, the god of the ghoul clan, is also considered a relatively special and relatively gentle old dominator. According to legend, a living couple accidentally offended its temple, but it forgives them.

Morgidian's believers are even hostile to the Necromancer because in their eyes, all the dead bodies will eventually belong to the gods in the hiding place, and the act of allowing the dead to walk in the world again is intolerable.

Perhaps for Morgidian, human corpses are no different from those of livestock, so it has no interest in actively creating killings...

In Chen Qiang's opinion, Uncle Xu is probably the kind of moderate ghoul.

Uncle Xu's integration into human lifestyle and the corpses of livestock in the basement prove this.

"Keep the Eye of the Secret Man!"

The module that did not trigger the "Summer Strange Talk" was because it had to activate the talent of keeping the secret eye to observe the real world from the perspective of dice check results.

The Secret Eye can only be activated for three minutes a day, but it will refresh at midnight; that is to say, if you are stuck at 11:57 pm, you can use it continuously for six minutes!

The door is open.

Uncle Xu appeared at the door with a pale face. Seeing Chen Qiang with a calm face, he forced a smile.

"Xiao Chen," he said, "what are you doing here?"

Chen Qiang didn't say anything, his eyes turned to the livestock next to him.

"Are these?" Uncle Xu said, "Oh, these were shipped from the butcher shop on the commercial street. The refrigerators there couldn't be installed, but they all got broken..."

Uncle Xu tried his best to remain calm, as if he was talking about something very ordinary, but Chen Qiang still saw the panic between his eyebrows.

【Skill check confrontation, psychological confrontation tactics】

【Psychology 49/56 Success】

【Speech 6/5 failed】

【Skills Confrontation Successfully】

It turns out that Uncle Xu’s skill level is only 5. Thank you for your hard work for such a long time.

Many secret keepers choose to hide the results of psychological checks from players to avoid players using psychological skills as lie detectors, but they have nowhere to hide from Chen Qiang, who has the authority to keep secret keepers.

"Uncle Xu, stop talking," Chen Qiang said, "Then, what is this altar?"

Uncle Xu's face turned paler and his eyes began to become congested.
