Real Cthulhu Running Game

"Oh, it seems that you know something, Liu Xing." kp Duanqiao sighed and said, "No wonder Tenal chose you in the first place."

Just as Liu Xing was about to say something, he saw Alice looking at him in confusion, mumbling something unclear.

It seemed that even Alice, who had been somewhat prepared, was unable to accept the truth after learning the truth about the world.

Of course, Liu Xing is also at fault here, because from a certain perspective, what Liu Xing said can be described as "alarmist." . .

After all, Alice is indeed an NPC from the perspective of the Cthulhu Run Game Hall, but in Liu Xing's view, Alice is a living human being, or in other words, Alice is a living human being.

So Liu Xing put his hands on Alice's shoulders, looked directly at Alice and said: "Alice, what I just said was not rigorous enough. You are not the kind of NPC you imagined, because the game we are in now It's a little different; this game is called Cthulhu Game Hall. Yes, the Cthulhu here refers to the old ruler sleeping under the sea, but it is not the creator of this game because It is not of a high level yet, so I, or Zhang Jingxu and I all believe that the Cthulhu Running Group Game Hall should be created by the legendary outer god Nyarlathotep, because in the Cthulhu Myth Among them, Nyarlathotep can be said to be one of the top gods in the universe."

"Back to the topic, the world we are in now, that is, Alice and your world, should have been normal, but one day before, it was assimilated by the Cthulhu Running Team game lobby, so this world has changed. It has become a game world, and all humans and mythical creatures in this world, including Alice, have been brainwashed by the Cthulhu Runner Game Hall and turned into NPCs in the game. However, in a world like Alice, you There is more than one Cthulhu Running Game Hall, and the number of worlds I know alone is in three digits; of course, although Zhang Jingxu and I are indeed called players in the Cthulhu Running Game Hall, our situation Not much better than you."

"To put it simply, we players must enter the Cthulhu Game Hall every once in a while to participate in the game. Each game will stipulate a scope and main task. If we fail to complete the main task, or leave the designated area without authorization, range, or if we die in the module, we will all die in our world, but we can spend the rewards after completing the game to buy the opportunity to resurrect, or simply create a new game character; but that is , because the difficulty of the Cthulhu Running Game Hall is too high, although the mortality rate in the Cthulhu Running Game Hall is still too high, so like-minded players will form a team to play together. This is Zhang Jingxu and I. The reason why the relationship is so good.”

"But the most important thing is that we have discovered that the Cthulhu Run Game Hall has begun to erode our world. Now our world has also seen some incredible situations. For example, some time that has passed for many years actually happened in one night. For example, in our world, the name of the Sewol incident should be the Sewol incident, and the ship set off from the country of space, and the person behind the tragedy is a secret of the country of space. Church, it turned out that after Yin En and I passed the Yuesehao module, the Sewolhao in our world became the Yuesehao... I believe Alice, you should understand what I mean, although I am a player now, but it may not be long before I will be like you."

After listening to Liu Xing's story, Alice's expression became more confused, but Liu Xing knew that Alice just needed some time to digest the news he told her.

Liu Xing believes that Alice can become his most effective helper after knowing the truth about this world, because Alice is a "local" after all, and when he returns to the real world in the future, he can get rid of Alice to help guide him. The actions of "Liu Xing" and "Watanabe Meteor".

While Alice was still thinking about life, Liu Xing couldn't help but ask KP Broken Bridge, "KP, after learning the truth about this world, what will Alice become like? She won't be like Turner. Let’s be considered a bug by the Cthulhu Runner Game Hall and be wanted.”

Kp Broken Bridge did not show off, and answered directly: "Of course not, because Alice is still an NPC in the final analysis. She is just an NPC who has lifted some of her constraints and knows more than other NPCs. She is not a special NPC. Gnar is an NPC that forcibly seizes the player's character card, so Liu Xing, you don't need to worry about Alice being punished by the Cthulhu Run Game Hall... However, the Cthulhu Run Game Hall will not stand idly by. Alice will not be protected by NPCs in the future."

"NPC protection?" Liu Xing asked subconsciously.

kp Duanqiao smiled bitterly: "As Liu Xing said just now, this parallel world was actually no different from the world you were in before, and Alice was no different from Liu Xing, but Because the players in this parallel world failed in the end, this parallel world became what it is now. However, this parallel world is protected by the Cthulhu Running Group Game Hall... To put it simply, it is the entire parallel world. All NPCs in the world have actually entered a cycle of reincarnation, and they can be reincarnated."

"To put it simply, the Old Ones in this parallel world are definitely not the original body. After all, there are so many parallel worlds in the Cthulhu Run Game Hall, and there are not enough Old Ones. So These Old Ones are all superficial, and their priority in the eyes of our KPs is lower than that of NPCs; but as the game progresses, the Old Ones will stand up and destroy the world. In fact, they are just a formality. , it is the Cthulhu Run game lobby that really destroys all the mission cards for you players."

"So, when the old ruler of a parallel world chooses to destroy the world, if you players can't stop it, then you players will all be cleared out of this parallel world, but the NPCs will not actually be affected too much. Affected by the influence of the Cthulhu Running Game Hall, they should be brainwashed and then redeployed in this parallel world. However, some details of this parallel world will also undergo some changes. This is even a Cthulhu Running Game. The hall's protection for NPCs can be interpreted as immortality."

Liu Xing frowned and said, "kp, do you mean to say that Alice will only have this life in the future?"

"That's right, Alice will be just like you players in the future. If she dies in this parallel world, she will not be reincarnated, but will die completely. If we want to make an analogy, it would be Alice running from Cthulhu. The staff of the game hall have become temporary workers. Although she will have more freedom of movement, if something happens, the Cthulhu Run Game Hall will fire her without hesitation." kp Duanqiao said seriously.

Hearing this, Liu Xing's look at Alice became more complicated, because Liu Xing didn't know whether he was right or wrong in telling Alice the truth about the world.

Sometimes, the ignorant are the happiest.

But then again, after listening to kp Broken Bridge today, Liu Xing has a deeper understanding of the situation in the Cthulhu Running Group game lobby, although this understanding still cannot bring any substantial benefits to Liu Xing. .

Because whether it is the Old Ones directly destroying the world, or the Cthulhu Game Hall destroys the world, the final result is still those two words - destruction.

Of course, the only good news now is that the Cthulhu Running Game Hall provides food and accommodation. If your world is absorbed by the Cthulhu Running Game Hall in the future, you can still live well and be immortal. . . . As long as there are no new players from other worlds around.

"Ahem, I know you, Liu Xing, are thinking that you can be immortal in the future, right? But I have to remind you, Liu Xing, that if your world is completely assimilated by the Cthulhu Run Team Game Hall, Then as a player, you will be directly eliminated instead of becoming an NPC, because you players are an unstable factor, I believe Liu Xing, you should understand what I mean." kp Duanqiao said with a smile.

Liu Xing was stunned for a moment, and then he understood what KP meant by breaking the bridge.

In fact, this is easy to understand. Judging from the situation of Tener and Alice, the concentration of "Meng Po Soup" in the Cthulhu Run Game Hall is not high enough to make NPCs completely forget their past, so some NPCs You may still have some doubts about the parallel world you are in when you get some information or interact with players, and eventually recall or learn the truth of it all through different ways.

But these NPCs who have awakened their memories are just insignificant bugs to the Cthulhu Running Group Game Hall. It is easy to deal with them, and you don’t need to worry too much about how much trouble these NPCs will bring to you; however, if If such NPCs were still players before, then they would no longer be a trouble for the Cthulhu Game Hall.

It can be said that these NPCs who were players before are a group of grandfathers. They can introduce the situation of the Cthulhu Run game lobby to new players, so that the new batch of players can omit a lot of exploration process, allowing these players to The mortality rate will plummet. At that time, this parallel world will be equivalent to an additional group of experienced players with fewer restrictions, because they will not be bound by the module and do not need to complete any tasks.

Therefore, Liu Xing felt that if he were in the Cthulhu Game Hall, he would kill all these players to avoid causing trouble for his future self.

But after saying this, a guess suddenly appeared in Liu Xing's mind - Turner is a player!

The possibility is more than 80%!

The reason why Liu Xing thinks so is mainly because Turner behaves too much like a player, or it does something that only players can do.

If Tenal was just an ordinary Yithian, then after awakening his previous memories, he should only think that he might have been affected by an old ruler or an outer god and lost this period of time. Memories of living on earth pretending to be human for a period of time, occasionally encountering some dishonest children.

But will Turnard know that players exist and that this world has become a game world?

Probably not, because this is not in Turner's previous memory. After all, judging from Liu Xing's known situation, when the Cthulhu Running Group game hall assimilates a world, except for the players in this world, ordinary players It can be said that people become NPCs without knowing it. . . It is also possible that at the final moment, ordinary people will be able to see an overwhelming number of mythical creatures and the arrival of some Old Ones on Earth.

But they couldn't possibly know that some of their compatriots had known about this for a long time and had tried to stop it.

Therefore, judging from Turner's performance, Liu Xing felt that Turner was most likely a player, so he would choose himself as a player to win the championship.

This is very interesting.

Just when Liu Xing closed his eyes and thought deeply, Alice suddenly said: "Let's get out of the car and go to eat."

Liu Xing opened his eyes and looked at Alice, who was smiling as if nothing had happened.

"Let's go, I happen to be hungry already."

Walking into the living room, Li Hanxing and Sun Huiwen were playing games, but there were already several cold dishes on the table.

"Oh, you're back. I'm going to bring the hot dishes."

Sun Huiwen stood up and said after seeing Liu Xing and Alice coming in.

As for Li Hanxing, he looked at Liu Xing and Alice with a sly look. It seemed that he had misunderstood something.

However, Liu Xing didn't know how to explain to Li Hanxing, so he could only ignore Li Hanxing's concerned (curious) eyes and eat what he should eat and drink what he should drink. . . As for Alice's performance, it was still very normal. Normal Liu Xing wouldn't know what to say.

After dinner, Li Hanxing and Sun Huiwen went directly back to the room to rest, leaving Liu Xing and Alice alone to "watch" TV in the living room.

Of course, although Liu Xing's eyes were always fixed on the TV, his attention was still on Alice beside him.

After who knows how long, Alice said: "Liu Xing, I have already thought about it."

"Um?"

"If you want to save your world, then please let me join you." Alice said seriously: "After all, in most games, we NPCs exist to help you players pass the game!"
