Real Cthulhu Running Game

Danger!

Liu Xing looked at the smiling "Old Huang" in front of him, but felt a little scared, because Liu Xing was now sure that this "Old Huang" was the King in Yellow he knew.

So what is going on?

Although Liu Xing almost wanted to give up thinking now, Liu Xing still nodded with difficulty and expressed his willingness to join "Lao Huang" because Liu Xing knew very well that he had no choice now.

Seeing that Liu Xing agreed to his suggestion, "Old Huang" immediately handed over the folder in his hand with a smile, and whispered: "You can come to me tonight according to the address attached to this folder."

After saying "Old Huang", he turned around and left.

After confirming that "Old Huang" was really gone, Liu Xing immediately opened the folder and found that there was only a piece of paper inside, and there were three words written on it - it's time to wake up.

Just when Liu Xing didn't understand what these three words meant, Yin En's voice came to his ears, "Liu Xing, get up and eat."

Liu Xing subconsciously turned his head to look at the bathroom door, only to find that there seemed to be something wrong with his perspective, and there was also something wrong with the scene in front of him.

After a while, Liu Xing realized that he had woken up, so he was lying on the bed looking at the door of the room. To be precise, it should be Yin En at the door, and Yin En at the door looked at Liu Xing with some confusion. , because he didn't know why Liu Xing stared at him in such a strange way, and he still couldn't take his eyes away after a while.

Just when Liu Xing was a little embarrassed and wanted to speak, Yin En said first, "Well, my orientation is quite normal, so Liu Xing, it's impossible for us."

After Yin En's interruption, the originally awkward atmosphere became active again.

Liu Xing shook his head and said with a smile: "I'm not interested in you. It's just that I just had a dream..."

Before Liu Xing could finish his words, Yin En immediately hugged himself and said, "Wow, Liu Xing, you've already dreamed about me, and you said you're not interested in me? I didn't expect you, Liu Xing, to be this kind of person!" "

Liu Xing rolled his eyes, shook his head and said, "Then I also saw the King in Yellow in that dream. Does this mean that I don't taboo on anything, not even the old rulers?"

While Liu Xing was busy rolling his eyes, he didn't see Yin En's face change when he heard the words "King in Yellow", but he quickly returned to normal.

"Oh, then I'm curious about what you were dreaming about, Liu Xing. It can't be that the King in Yellow and I are wrestling in the same locker room." Yin En said, pretending to be scared.

Liu Xing shook his head and said seriously: "How is that possible, and I didn't just dream about you, Zhang Jingxu and the others also appeared, but your names, voices and appearances were randomly disrupted, so this dream is really It kind of makes my head hurt.”

"That's the plot. It's impossible for Liu Xing to be so arrogant that you want to take us to fight the King in Yellow, right?" Yin En asked.

Liu Xing shook his head, stood up and said: "How is that possible? I am not so swollen that I think we can fight with the King in Yellow. In fact, I only dreamed about it..."

Once again, Liu Xing was interrupted by Zhang Jingxu before he could finish his words, "Yin En, what are you doing standing there? Wake Liu Xing up for dinner. We have to prepare to go to the hospital after breakfast."

Yin En nodded in the direction of the living room, then turned around and said, "Liu Xing, get up first. Let's talk about your dream later."

Saying that, Yin En walked towards the living room.

Liu Xing sighed, thinking about what he would say later, getting dressed and getting up.

When Liu Xing came to the living room, everyone else was already in their places, eating breakfast.

Nowadays, although the Zetian family's manpower is still stretched compared with other forces, there are still a lot of people in this family, so breakfast is divided into two tables, so Liu Xing very consciously walked to the one full of people. The table of good brothers.

After Liu Xing took his place, Yin En said with a smile: "Liu Xing, please continue talking about your dream. In fact, I like to listen to other people talk about their dreams, because these dreams are really interesting. The plot is comparable to those of Hollywood blockbusters.”

Others also laughed very cooperatively, including Otonashi Takuya, who was a bit stern at first.

Liu Xing took a sip of rice-treasure porridge, nodded and said: "I believe Yin En has already told everyone the summary of the previous situation, so I will continue directly here. First, let me explain the background of this dream. They are all ordinary employees at a certain construction site, and this construction site is responsible for building a training base. I don’t know exactly whether it is for training athletes in that event, because I did not directly enter the training center to find out, and we The person responsible for completing the task is to build a small bungalow at the entrance of the training center. It looks like a sales office. But what kind of sales office does a training base need? It is impossible to sell the training center in pieces. ?”

"That's not necessarily true. Maybe this is the legendary shared training base? After all, the sharing economy these days can be said to be in full bloom. It seems that everything can be shared. Shared bicycles and shared power banks are entry-level existences. To be truly powerful, it depends on my shared phone booth, which requires scanning a QR code." Yin En immediately stood up and argued.

Looking at the bully in front of him, Liu Xing shook his head and said: "Okay, okay, Yin En, what you said is right, but that's not the point. The point is what happens next, that is, the weather will change at any time. One second it was normal, and the next second there was a sudden strong wind and the situation changed..."

"A thunder struck you awake directly?"

Li Hanxing, the No. 2 barista, stood up again.

Liu Xing sighed helplessly, shook his head and said: "Can you wait until I finish speaking before complaining? The situation was actually a heavy rainstorm suddenly. I originally wanted to find a place to hide from the rain, but the result was... You guys are still building a house there, even if the cement has been washed away, so you can't build a brick for half a day, but you guys are still there like tool men, concentrating on building a house, I can see that They all feel like there’s something wrong with them.”

"The water of the wild spring."

Zhang Wenbing suddenly said: "There is such a story in "Book of Song Dynasty. Biography of Yuan Can. Biography of Mr. Miaode". In a small country, there is a spring called Kuangquan Water. This spring water is the drinking water for everyone in this small country. Source, everyone usually drinks this spring water, and this spring water has no other problems except that it makes people crazy. So after everyone drinks this spring water and goes crazy, everyone thinks there is no problem, because everyone does not Are they all still the same? But the king himself dug a well in secret, so he did not drink the water from the wild spring and go crazy."

"But over time, because the king seemed a little out of place with the others, those who drank the water from the mad spring always thought that the king might be crazy. So after some conspiracy, these people found an opportunity to The king was arrested, and then he was treated according to the methods of treating madness. The normal method was acupuncture, moxibustion and some medicine. As a result, after those people found that the king could not be cured using normal methods, they could only use some unusual methods. The normal way, such as using some indescribable ingredients to make a potion, or an unknown liquid to feed to the king."

"Of course, because those people had gone crazy a long time ago, they quickly gave up those abnormal methods and began to let themselves go to treat the king, which was called treatment but was actually torture. As a result, the king naturally couldn't bear it anymore. , so he had to find an excuse to drink a bowl of water from the Kuangquan. From then on, the king began to go crazy, but those around him saw that the king had returned to 'normal', and they all held a banquet happily; of course this The story can actually be viewed from another angle, that is, the king was really crazy, and he thought that other people were really crazy, so the kingdom refused to receive treatment. As a result, his subjects had to use some special methods to force the king. Got treatment and was finally cured."

"But the king has not forgotten his previous experience, so even though he was cured and became exactly like other people, he still firmly believes that the normal lifestyle now is actually the lifestyle of a mad person." Ding Kun He shook his head and said: "Of course, this is just us modern people over-interpreting the content of ancient texts. We self-righteously want to give these ancient texts new meanings, and as a result, we ignore the background of these ancient texts. The author of this story, Yuan Can, is called Liu The last loyal minister of Song Dynasty, so what he wanted to express through this story is still the former."

Liu Xing nodded and said: "In other words, the rain in my dream was the water of the wild spring. It made me realize that I was the only one who was incompatible with the other people in the dream. If I had gone to hide at that time, If it rains, then I will be the only king who is not crazy. At that time, I will attract the attention of others because of my unique behavior. In the end, I may even be hostile to others. At that time, it doesn’t matter whether I want it or not. , they will make me become exactly like them?"

"That's right, but Liu Xing took the initiative to become like them, and the result has not changed at all. You just omitted some of the processes in the middle... But what we said seems to be reasonable, but to be honest, this is still just a dream. , no matter what weird things happen in dreams, it is normal. For example, I once dreamed that I could fly, but suddenly fell down when I was flying in the air. This cannot be my dream metaphorizing the Wings of Icarus. story." Ding Kun said with a smile.

Liu Xing nodded and continued: "That's right. The reason why people dream is because part of the cerebral cortex is still active. But it is also because only a part of the cerebral cortex is active, so the content of the dream seems inconsistent. In reality and logic, this is like a computer using only 30% of the efficiency to run a game. Therefore, some textures of this game will be missing, and the logic algorithm of NPC will also have omissions. Monsters would give experience, gold coins, and props and equipment that would appear with a certain probability, but in the end, only experience or gold coins were given, and those props and equipment were invisible."

Yin En also nodded and said impatiently: "That's why I like to dream, because there is everything in dreams. But then again, Liu Xing, didn't you say you met the King in Yellow? What's going on? It's the same thing. It's normal for you to dream about us. After all, we think about it every day and dream about it at night. But we have only heard about the existence of the King in Yellow Clothes. How could you dream about the King in Yellow Clothes? Where is the king? And how are you so sure that he is the King in Yellow? Does the King in Yellow appear in that classic costume? "

Others around him also looked at Liu Xing with curiosity.

Liu Xing shook his head and said seriously: "Actually, I can't really be sure that that person is the King in Yellow, because the next plot is like this. You and I spent several hours and finally repaired the sales office. , as a result, several people came to check and accept it. Among them was a middle-aged man named Lao Huang. He was wearing a yellow suit and holding a folder in his hand. On this folder was the construction company that contracted the construction site. His logo - Yellow Seal, that's why I thought he was the King in Yellow; and I don't know why, although the King in Yellow who appeared in various stories always wore robes to cover his face, but when I saw the old When I saw Huang’s ordinary face, I subconsciously thought that it must be the face of the King in Yellow.”

Hearing what Liu Xing said, Zhang Jingxu and others fell into deep thought.

At this time, Liu Xing also pretended to be confused, but he was also thinking about something in his heart.

Regarding the dream he had today, Liu Xing originally planned to keep it concealed as before, but Liu Xing soon realized that this dream was fundamentally different from the previous dreams - in this dream Zhang Jingxu and others appeared, and even Li Hanxing and Sun Huiwen, whom he had only known for less than a month, appeared.

Therefore, Liu Xing decided to tell this dream half-true and half-false to see how Zhang Jingxu and others would react. Of course, this "half-false" must be false in the most critical place, that is, himself and the King in Yellow. In terms of the reason and process of the meeting, after all, Liu Xing could not say that he knew the King in Yellow, so in the dream, the King in Yellow came to join him, right?

That's why Liu Xing changed the reason for the appearance of the King in Yellow to the acceptance of the "sales office", so that the King in Yellow did not come to see himself alone, but to meet everyone present.
