Real Cthulhu Running Game

"There's no play again."

Liu Xing looked at the text message on the phone, sighed helplessly, then put down the phone, lay on the bed on his back, and said with emotion: "Sure enough, studying medicine will ruin your life."

Liu Xing, male, 22 years old, graduated from Rongcheng University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, unemployed and staying at home.

Half a month ago, Liu Xing had a quarrel with the director of the department. After all, Liu Xing was still young, so he chose to resign in a fit of anger.

And for the past half month, Liu Xing has been going to various hospitals to apply for jobs, but because Liu Xing has just graduated, and he doesn't have much relationship to use, so the result of job hunting is always "please go home and wait for news".

"Are you really going home?" Liu Xing found his father's phone number in the address book.

Liu Xing's family has practiced medicine for three generations, and the family has three clinics. At the beginning of Liu Xing's graduation, Liu Xing's father wanted Liu Xing to stay at home to help, but Liu Xing chose to refuse, because Liu Xing did not want to be fixed at such a young age. In one position, he wanted to go out and make more adventures.

"Okay, but I will give you 5,000 living expenses in the end, and you can earn money to support yourself in the future." Liu's father said at the time: "If you can't get along, just come back honestly. If you want to take over Any clinic will do."

"Forget it, it's only two months before I go back, it's too embarrassing." Thinking of this, Liu Xing still turned off his cell phone. He knew his father's character, and he would be laughed at for the rest of his life if he went back now.

"There is one thousand left, which means that I will run out of food in one month at most." Liu Xing took out the last family property from his wallet, and looked at the ceiling melancholy.

"Hey, why are you thinking so much, LOL let's go, it's time to abuse a wave of elementary school students to change your mood."

Just do it, Liu Xing stood up and turned on the computer.

An hour later, Liu Xing dropped the mouse with a displeased face, and looked at the computer speechlessly.

"It's only Monday, so there are only so many elementary school students?!"

Speechless, Liu Xing closed LOL and planned to watch the new series on the country's largest website - bilibili.

"Grandpa is writing a small round book again." Liu Xing touched his chin and came to a correct conclusion.

"Forget it, I'd better go to the group to flirt with girls." Liu Xing clicked on QQ.

"Dididi."

As soon as it went online, a pop-up window took up half of Liu Xing's screen.

"I'll go, * Xun is so unscrupulous, and the advertisement has been made so big for a long time." Liu Xing was startled by this super-large pop-up window.

"Come to play and get 100,000 RMB!" Liu Xing looked at the bright red characters in the pop-up window and was speechless for a while.

Liu Xing has not seen this kind of web game advertisements. After all, as a middle-aged person born in the 90s, he has never seen any online game advertisements, but this is the first time for Liu Xing to directly boast Haikou of 100,000 yuan in such advertisements. See you.

Thinking of this, Liu Xing couldn't help muttering to himself, "This is a bit powerful, 100,000 RMB, okay, just for your ad, I'll just click on this ad to try, anyway, I won't suffer a lot if I click on it."

Ever since, Liu Xing clicked "Join the game" under the slogan.

"Ding."

After a soft beep, Liu Xing's computer turned into a black screen.

"I *!" Liu Xing couldn't help roaring, "

Liu Xing, who was heartbroken about the seeds in his computer, just wanted to restart the computer, but the computer automatically restored to its original state at this time, but Liu Xing noticed that there was an extra game icon on the computer desktop.

"It's okay, okay." Liu Xing quickly opened a hidden folder, and the files inside were all intact.

"It seems that the game was installed automatically just now?" Liu Xing looked at the strange game icon on the desktop, but this icon was somewhat familiar to Liu Xing, it was Cthulhu's avatar.

Cthulhu is an evil existence in the Cthulhu myth created by the American novelist Howard Philip Lovecraft (hereinafter referred to as the God of Love Craft), with a head like an octopus and countless tentacles on his face. The hands and feet have huge hooks and claws, and the back has bat-like cortical membrane wings. If you are a Warcraft player, you should be able to contact a boss in the game-C'Thun, which is a tribute to the Cthulhu myth.

The first time Liu Xing came into contact with the Cthulhu Mythos was when he was dragged to a board game room by a good friend of his, and watched a Cthulhu running group.

Thinking of this, Liu Xing frowned, and carefully looked at the title under the game icon, it was exactly what Liu Xing thought.

"Cthulhu running game hall?"

Simply put, the Cthulhu running game is a very popular board game in Europe and the United States. However, it is different from the domestic popular werewolf killing, three kingdoms killing and other board games. The Cthulhu running team is a role-playing game. The feature is that you can play your own role immersively, and within the scope allowed by the rules, bring various open story developments according to the players' respective actions. For example, when you encounter an enemy in other games, you can only Simply choose to defeat to continue to advance the plot, and in Cthulhu's running game, you can choose to avoid the enemy directly, bribe the enemy, persuade the enemy, or even join the enemy, which is all possible.

However, in the Cthulhu running game, fighting is never the main theme, because generally speaking, fighting is equivalent to destroying the group, because the enemies that the explorer played by the player will face are all mythical creatures!

Because the Cthulhu running game is naturally based on a series of novels by the great god of love crafts, and these novels are collectively called the Cthulhu Mythology, and after the death of the great god of love crafts, there are also many authors who have written the same nature of the same person. The Sulu mythology finally allowed the Cthulhu mythology to create a brand new mythology system-the Cthulhu mythology system.

And Cthulhu, as the "facade" in this myth system, is a respected god among the old rulers of a major force in the Cthulhu myth system, and belongs to the symbol of "water" in the "fire, wind, soil and water" faction. Existence, now sealed by another group of powerful forces that are hostile to it - the old gods, now sleeping in the submarine city of R'lyeh in the South Pacific, when affected by the phase of the universe or other external factors, the seal of Cthulhu It will be automatically released and appear on the sea, but because the seal has not been completely released, Cthulhu cannot stay away from Lalaiye. When the astrology changes again and the power of the seal is restored, Cthulhu will return to Lalaiye Ye continues to sleep forever, and when Cthulhu truly lifts the seal, the world will surely be destroyed.

From the setting of Cthulhu, it can be seen that Cthulhu has the ability to destroy the world, and Cthulhu is not the strongest in the Cthulhu mythology system, and the setting in the Cthulhu running group , Cthulhu can unconditionally kill a random number of players, and Cthulhu's shooting speed is far faster than the player, so when the player encounters Cthulhu, he can basically wait to die.

Of course, Cthulhu must exist as a boss level and will not appear casually, but there are all kinds of mythical creatures under Cthulhu, and the weakest are ghouls and deep dives. (To put it bluntly, they are murlocs, but there are differences in some details), but no matter how weak the ghouls and deep divers are, they are equivalent to the world's boxing champions and fighting masters in terms of combat ability.

Of course, Liu Xing, who was still new at the time, once asked the friend who brought him into the pit, even if he was a fighting master or boxing champion, it was not a matter of being shot down.

That friend of Liu Xing laughed and told Liu Xing that you were thinking too much, because most of the players in the Cthulhu running game play the roles of ordinary people, and the special ones are policemen, detectives and other identities. The most you have is a pistol in your hand, and although the Cthulhu running game is very free, all actions must be within the scope of the rules. For example, as an ordinary person, it is impossible for you to obtain weapons such as submachine guns. It is also impossible to run around with weapons casually, and ghouls and deep divers can crush ordinary humans with all-round attributes.

Therefore, in general, humans have no chance to defeat these mythical creatures. Of course, there will be some individual cases, because the Cthulhu running game is very free, and some groups will choose to set some rules by themselves, such as joining some Fantastic skills. . .

The specific forms of the Cthulhu running group game are divided into dough and net groups. Dough naturally means that players gather together to play in reality, while net groups refer to online games through QQ and other communication applications and related tools, and Kesu The game of Lu running group requires a lot of time and energy. A game of Cthulhu running group can be as short as one or two hours, or as long as several years. Unlike Werewolf Killing and Three Kingdoms Killing, which can be played in more than ten minutes, Therefore, there are not many players participating in the domestic Cthulhu running game.

And most importantly, the Cthulhu running game does not have a dedicated online platform and mobile application like Werewolf Killing and Three Kingdoms Killing. Reluctantly, I found that I had no suitable place to play with my friends. Liu Xing was like that at the beginning. Although he really wanted to try the Cthulhu running game, he never had the opportunity to really participate in a Cthulhu running game. It is not easy to organize a dough, because the participants need to spare a few hours at the same time, and there is also the embarrassment of not having a professional platform in the online group.

But now, Liu Xing looked at the "Cthulhu Running Team Game Hall" on the computer desktop, and couldn't help laughing. He didn't expect that he would encounter a platform dedicated to Cthulhu Running Team games. This was really unexpected for Liu. As expected.
