Real Cthulhu Running Game

In Liu Xing's impression, Alice's master still had many friends, and these friends were spread all over the world and from all walks of life.

"My master does have a lot of friends, because when he was a professor at Miskatonic University, he often visited other colleges, so he made many capable friends... In addition, Miskatonic University You also know the situation at Miskatonic University. There are many strange people and strangers gathered next to the school, and there are even many mythical creatures hidden there. So my master sometimes likes to go to the most famous tavern next to Miskatonic University - The Corpse. Sit in the ghost tavern, so my master really has more social contacts than you think." Alice shrugged.

Liu Xing smiled and said, "It seems that your master, Alice, is also a social butterfly. No wonder he is able to chat and laugh with so many different types of people and mythical creatures. I have to say I admire him."

Alice rolled her eyes at Liu Xing and said with a smile: "Liu Xing, don't be so weird here. My master's character is naturally like this. He would not forget to joke with us students even when he was in danger. And to be honest, In terms of the environment at Miskatonic University, it’s hard not to get to know those people because they are all around you.”

Alice paused and continued: "By the way, that Ghoul Bar I just mentioned. If you have the opportunity to go to Miskatonic University in the future, don't forget to go there. You will definitely have it. Great harvest.”

Liu Xing nodded and asked curiously: "Of course, the bar is the best place to inquire about the surrounding news; since this bar is called the Ghoul Bar, then the manager of the bar should be a ghoul. ?”

Alice smiled and shook her head, and said with some sigh: "Liu Xing, you are wrong. The owner of this ghoul bar is not a ghoul, but a deep diver from Innsmouth." A hybrid, but most importantly it’s actually a spiritual ghoul.”

"Huh? Mental ghoul? What kind of operation is this?" Liu Xing said in surprise.

Sun Huiwen on the side frowned and said with the same surprise: "This is unscientific. There are many spiritual foreigners among us humans. This is because even if he admits it publicly, he will only be scolded a few times at most, but these mythical creatures The Old Ones are watching over their heads. Even if Cthulhu is still sleeping at the bottom of the sea, and Dagon and Hydra are missing, the Deep Ones still have their nominal leaders, and each tribe and city also has its own leader. The leader, so this deep diver has not been ordered to kill him?"

Alice took out a copper badge from her pocket. There was a Q version of the ghoul image on the badge. However, the ghoul image here refers to the ghoul in the eyes of ordinary people. You can directly refer to "Warcraft" 3》The ghoul.

"This is a souvenir from the Ghoul Bar. Yes, what this boss likes is not the ghouls we usually deal with, but the scary-looking monsters that ordinary people see without skin and with a pair of huge bone claws. ; It is also interesting to say that although the bar owner was born in the small town of Innsmouth, his mother died of illness when he was one year old. As a result, he was taken away by his uncle to raise him, and he My uncle hates those deep divers."

"But the most important thing is that the bar owner's uncle has a good brother who is a graduate student in occult studies at Miskatonic University, so they worked together to sneak the bar owner out of Innsmouth and settled in Miskatonic University. Next to Catonic University, this can ensure that Innsmouth will not send a large number of people to cause trouble for them. After all, Miskatonic University is also well-known, and even the tribe of mythical creatures must be courteous to them. a bit."

"So, the bar owner never knew his identity before he automatically turned into a ghoul, but he didn't know if it was the blood of mythical creatures in his body that was causing trouble, causing him to be very fascinated by those mysterious things and never knew how to recognize him. From the beginning, he liked to read all kinds of fairy tales and legends. Later, he naturally became an amateur occultist. When he had nothing to do, he would go to his uncle's friend to secretly read some occult books. At that time, his uncle's friend Already an instructor at Miskatonic.”

"In this way, the bar owner became obsessed with ghouls after reading a lot of occult books, because he thought ghouls were very cool, but because those occult books either did not have pictures, or the pictures were very abstract, so he regarded the ghouls in the game as real ghouls. In the end, even though he had become a deep diver, he still insisted that he was a ghoul, and changed the bar's original name - Innsmouth Night turned ghoul."

Liu Xing touched his nose and said with a half-smile: "So, that bar owner is quite interesting. Even after learning his true identity, he still firmly believed that he was a ghoul. But it's no wonder. No one from Innsmouth sent anyone to trouble him because he wasn't trying to become a real ghoul."

"Yes, the ghoul the bar owner wants to be is just the ghoul in his mind, and the image of this ghoul comes from a bunch of messy occult books. If you only know that 100% Ninety percent of the occult books are all fabricated. The authors have never seen real mythical creatures, and have not even been exposed to fanatic believers. These occult books are based on the various legends they have heard. product."

"As for the remaining ten percent, ninety percent of the occult books were written by a group of people who had only come into contact with fanatics, or simply by the fanatics themselves, although there are still many real experiences among them. It is different from what I saw and heard, but the spirit of those fanatical believers is not normal, so these occult books are just a joy to read for people like us; of course, the last part of occult books can It’s a memoir written by people like us,” Alice said with a smile.

As soon as Alice finished speaking, Sun Huiwen said doubtfully: "Oh? What about the "King in Yellow", "Necronomicon" and "Book of Ebon"?"

"These are beyond the scope of occult science, right? I think these books can be directly classified as magic books."

Liu Xing rushed ahead of Alice and said: "And it is basically impossible for those magic books to be lost among the people."

Alice nodded and said: "As far as I know, there are many versions of magic books in Miskatonic University, and there are even legendary originals and orphans, but these magic books have been sealed in other dimensions. in space.”

Liu Xing touched his chin and suddenly thought: "By the way, there should be Yithians in Miskatonic University, right? So can Yithians copy those magic books in batches? After all, most magic books They are just ordinary carriers, and they have no special abilities."

Alice couldn't help but roll her eyes at Liu Xing again, shook her head and said: "Liu Xing, you are a bit fanciful. You must know that the relationship between Yisi and us humans can be said to be very ordinary, although most Yisi people They won't do anything to us humans, but they basically won't communicate with us humans. At most, they are just some transactions of interest. Therefore, the number of cooperation between Yisi people and humans from ancient times to the present does not exceed three digits, and these The beneficiaries of the cooperation are all our people."

"Let's put it this way, I think those Yis people are exquisite egoists, they will only do things for their own benefit, so in the recent cooperation that I know of, the Yis people benefited in the end. It would be good if the Yis people's partners can take a sip of soup, because more collaborators will be betrayed by the Yis people. After all, they are the bargaining chips prepared by the Yis people from the beginning, and the most important thing is We can’t cure them yet, as long as something happens they will run faster than anyone else.”

Liu Xing shrugged and did not express any opinion on this. . . Although Liu Xing himself was deceived by the Yi people.

It seems that in the Cthulhu Running Game Hall, the Yithians are a trap.

"Back to the topic, my master is a VIP customer in the Ghoul Bar, and he has close relationships with many veterans who have been hanging out at Miskatonic University for decades, so if you can go to Miskatonic University in the future, With this badge, you can go to the Ghoul Bar and order a cappuccino, and then you can know what you want to know, but these things are limited to happening within the scope of Miskatonic University."

Alice said as she handed the badge to Liu Xing.

Liu Xing took the badge with some surprise, looked at Alice and said, "Well, Alice, don't you keep this badge for yourself? After all, this is what your master gave you, and if we go to Miskatonic University in the future, , they will probably ask you to go with them, so it’s better for you to hold this badge yourself.”

Alice shook her head and said helplessly: "This is what you don't know, Liu Xing. One of the very important reasons why my master resigned from Miskatonic University and returned to England to start his own business is My master had a very serious conflict with the current president of Miskatonic University. Although my master was not fired but resigned on his own initiative, this incident caused quite a stir at Miskatonic University. The crowd was so great that my master forbade us to go to Miskatonic University, lest others think he had given in."

Liu Xing raised his eyebrows. He didn't expect Alice's master to be so face-saving and very vindictive. After all, this incident should have been more than twenty years ago.

But at this time, Liu Xing saw from the corner of his eye that Sun Huiwen was about to speak but hesitated.

"Sun Huiwen, what's wrong with you?" Liu Xing asked doubtfully.

Sun Huiwen looked at Alice, and after seeing that Alice had no expression, he said carefully: "If I remember correctly, the current president of Miskatonic University is a woman who once served as the director of the Department of Occult Studies. "

Hearing what Sun Huiwen said, Liu Xing's eyes immediately lit up and said: "Oh, if you put it that way..."

Liu Xing hesitated to speak, because Alice was looking at him with a smile.

Liu Xing decisively chose to shut up.

But then Sirius pushed open the door and said, "So Alice, your master is Professor Randall."

Alice frowned and said with a look of surprise: "Sirius, how do you know my master's real name? Didn't you just come out of the Soul Box a few years ago? How do you know what happened so many years ago?"

Liu Xing also looked at Sirius with a surprised look on his face. He didn't expect that Sirius actually knew who Alice's master was, and it seemed that Alice's master had changed his name because of something. . . Of course, the most likely reason that Master Alice changed her name was to avoid someone or some people.

There are many twists and turns here.

Sirius shrugged, closed the office door and said, "Because this is the last class in the morning, I left this class early. When I came back, I heard you talking about Alice's master; the reason why I know Alice In the case of Master Si, it was because I had been to Miskatonic University before coming to Tooh Town. At that time, I needed to go to Miskatonic to seek some help, something that could only be obtained at Miskatonic University. So I got some cooperation with the current president of Miskatonic University and became good friends, and then I heard some interesting things from my good friends.”

When Liu Xing heard Sirius say "interesting things", Liu Xing knew that Alice's master Randall and the current president of Miskatonic University most likely had an emotional dispute.

This is very interesting.

Liu Xing and Sun Huiwen looked at Alice and Sirius with gossipy faces, hoping that one of them could "answer questions" for them.

Unfortunately, Alice and Sirius reached a consensus with their eyes and avoided the topic together.

"Let's go, it's time for us to leave the school now, but having said that, haven't Li Hanxing and Wang Haiyang come back yet?" Sirius looked at his phone and said, "They should have been gone for almost two hours now, right? "

Liu Xing and others all frowned, because after Sirius' reminder, Liu Xing and others realized that Li Hanxing had left for almost two hours.

This is not good news, because the round trip between Duwang Middle School and the manor only takes half an hour at most, and Li Hanxing and Wang Haiyang just need to pick up something before returning, so even if Li Hanxing can delay, It can take up to half an hour to take effect, so Li Hanxing should have been back long ago. Even if it doesn't work, he should send a message to himself and others.
