Real Cthulhu Running Game

Uh, was I eaten by a big-mouthed bat?

Liu Xing, who saw darkness in front of his eyes, fell into deep thought. How could he become the big-mouthed bat's meal?

What kind of thing is this?

No, this is some kind of Cthulhu Running Game Hall. Why is it so unfair? Why do the players in it have character cards that look like monsters and monsters?

Of course, the most important thing for Liu Xing is, why doesn't he appear in Mai Yuqiang's memory?

But then again, as far as the current Cthulhu Run game lobby with extremely complex player styles is concerned, Liu Xing feels that even if his past self is standing in front of him, it is impossible for him to recognize it, because Liu Xing Star can be sure that his past self would have had an unusual character card.

Thinking of this, Liu Xing suddenly realized a problem, that is, why the big-mouthed bat hasn't vomited itself out yet. Is this guy really planning to eat himself?

wrong!

Liu Xing tried to control his body, but found that he had lost control of his body again, so if nothing else happened, Mai Yuqiang's memory should be over.

When Liu Xing realized this, Liu Xing's eyes suddenly dazzled again, and then he saw the familiar ceiling.

"Liu Xing, you're awake!"

Sonoda Zhuli's face appeared in front of Liu Xing's eyes and he said, "Why did you wake up so long after Zhang Jingxu and the others? We thought something had happened to you!"

Liu Xing, who was in a daze, shook his head, stood up and said, "What, I woke up much later than Zhang Jingxu and Yin En? How is this possible? Shouldn't the three people who used the Santu Stone wake up at the same time?"

"It stands to reason that the three people using Santu Stone are equivalent to using Santu Stone as the host to play games online. Although the games played by the three people may be different, the normal play time of these three games is almost the same. Even if there were some accidents in the middle, the three players would complete the game in about the same time and then exit from the console. However, Liu Xing woke up more than half an hour later than Zhang Jingxu and Yin En. This is the first time in history. This has never happened before, so we thought something happened to you."

Alice's voice grew closer and closer, and continued: "But the reason why you are in this situation is probably not because of your own problems, but maybe because this memory of Mai Yuqiang has been affected by the swollen daughter. influence, because in the memory that Yin En experienced, Mai Yuqiang encountered the Swollen Girl in junior high school, and the Swollen Girl cast a spell on Mai Yuqiang at that time, but Yin En did not feel it What's the abnormality, and it seems that some of Mai Yuqiang's memories are blocked, so Liu Xing, you happened to enter these blocked memories, so you woke up later than them."

Liu Xing, who finally came to his senses at this time, nodded and agreed with Alice's statement, because the memory he experienced from Mai Yuqiang was indeed different, or it should not have been "Mai Yuqiang". ” memory, so it is normal for this memory to be blocked by the Daughter of Swelling.

But now another question arises, that is, should I take this opportunity to show off to Mai Yuqiang and Yin En? Tell them you already know everything?

This idea only stayed in Liu Xing's mind for a moment, and Liu Xing directly chose to deny it, because now is not the time.

So should I tell this memory truthfully?

Forget it, after all, there are still a group of NPCs present. It is better not to tell the NPCs some things, lest these NPCs may awaken like Alice, and then this parallel world will most likely be turned upside down, and the situation will be turned upside down. It may get out of hand.

Therefore, I have to make up a story myself.

But this story is not easy to make up, because the memory that Yin En experienced happened when Mai Yuqiang was in junior high school. So if he wanted to make up a story, he would have to advance the time to Mai Yuqiang’s elementary school or even Mai Yuqiang’s elementary school. It's only in kindergarten, but what stories can a primary school student have that are worth noting? Did he get double hundred marks in the exam?

While Liu Xing was thinking about what kind of story he should make up, he followed Alice and Juri Sonoda to the living room. At this time, Zhang Jingxu and others were still talking to Elder Wu and others through video.

Seeing Liu Xing's arrival, Zhang Jingxu and others asked about Liu Xing's current situation. After learning that Liu Xing felt that everything was normal, everyone sat down again.

"I believe that Alice and Sonoda Zhuri have already told you the memory of Yin En's experience, so we won't go into details here. You only need to know that the Swollen Girl has been in contact with Mai Yuqiang a long time ago. Moreover, a certain spell was cast on Mai Yuqiang, which may have caused problems with some of Mai Yuqiang's memories. For example, Mai Yuqiang did not remember that he had been in contact with the Swollen Daughter. Of course, this spell cannot be that simple. We I suspect that Mai Yuqiang's current state is also related to this spell."

Zhang Jingxu looked at Liu Xing and continued: "As for the memory I experienced, it happened a week ago. Mai Yuqiang came to the foot of Mount Fuji alone and arrived at a pile of rocks on Mount Fuji through the normal tourist route. While Mai Yuqiang was climbing the mountain, I just felt like I was being pushed by someone, without any autonomy at all. As for when I got to the pile of rocks, I regained control of my body. I think Mai Yuqiang should have been like this at that time."

"There were no other noteworthy places near the pile of rocks, so I had no choice but to dig out the pile of rocks to see what was inside. As a result, I found a tunnel that seemed to lead directly to Mount Fuji. Inside, I realized that this was probably related to the Yamata no Orochi. As a result, when I entered this tunnel, I found that things were not that simple, because I found many irregular forks in this tunnel. It reminds me of a mythical creature - the earth-burrowing insect!"

"I remember Liu Xing that you also witnessed the earth-boring devil with your own eyes. Although you were only affected by the earth-boring devil and met the earth-burrowing insect in your sleep, this should be regarded as witnessing it with your own eyes; the earth-boring devil Insects like to move in high-temperature environments such as volcanoes. After all, earth-boring insects are very afraid of water, so volcanoes are indeed a good habitat for earth-boring insects, but it stands to reason that something like Mount Fuji may seal eight In the place where Qi no Orochi is, the earth-boring demonic insects should not come here to make themselves uncomfortable."

"But no matter what, I knew I had to keep walking to see where the end of this tunnel would be. As a result, it didn't take long for me to feel that the temperature around me had dropped a lot. Those suspected earth-boring demonic insects around me The passage with traces of activity also disappeared instantly. As a result, Liu Xing, guess what? I actually saw a pond appearing inside Mount Fuji! This pond looked like the size of a standard football field, and the water inside also looked like It’s ordinary water, but the chill emanating from this pond is deep into the bones.”

Having said this, Zhang Jingxu took a deep breath and said seriously: "To be honest, I felt like I was falling into an ice cave at that time. My whole body was frozen and I couldn't move. That feeling really made me want to Experience it for the second time, but what is even more frightening is that at this time I suddenly heard footsteps coming from behind me. The footsteps were getting closer and closer to me, becoming clearer and clearer, and finally I heard this There was something wrong with the footsteps because they came from above my head... Then I woke up."

After listening to Zhang Jingxu's story, Liu Xing frowned and said: "Zhang Jingxu, what you mean is that Mai Yuqiang was probably possessed by something near the pond, which is why he turned into what he is now. What does it look like?”

Zhang Jingxu nodded and said affirmatively: "Yes, it must be like this, but the problem now is that although I can still recall the location of the pile of stones, I think it is better not to go there, because my first My six senses tell me that if we go there, we will most likely become a stepping stone for that pond, because that pond does not need us, or our role to it is just a stepping stone... "

After listening to Zhang Jingxu's description of the pond, Liu Xing had already made up his mind - he would not go to that pond if he could, because it was definitely not a good place.

"By the way, when Mai Yuqiang heard about the pond, his heart rate, pulse and other data changed very strongly. It even exceeded that of normal people, even those of 'normal' patients. To put it bluntly, it transcended the human body. limit, so we can be sure that Mai Yuqiang experienced things beyond our imagination there, so we have reason to suspect that there is a powerful being living in the pond, and this powerful being may be the Yamata no Orochi!" Yin En added. road.

"So, the Yamata no Orochi is on Mai Yuqiang's body now?" Liu Xing couldn't help but ask.

This time, it was Elder Wu who answered Liu Xing's question, "No, no, no, the Yamata-no Orochi has actually left Mai Yuqiang, but Mai Yuqiang's body is still under control, because the Yamata-Orochi wants to use Mai Yuqiang To attract our attention, let it have more time to hide its body shape; you should all know that there is a saying - a snake is most vulnerable when it sheds its skin, because it is bound by the old skin, The new skin cannot provide it with normal defense, and it consumes a lot of energy when shedding its skin, so the snake is very small at this time, and even if it is its usual food, those rats can kill it."

"So, if Yamata-no-Orochi wants to bypass the seals of the ancient gods and leave Mount Fuji, no matter what it does, it will definitely have to pay some price, so it is very likely that Yamata-no-Orochi will choose the golden cicada to escape from its shell and let its old skin continue. After accepting the seals of the ancient gods and shedding his old skin, he left Mount Fuji with Mai Yuqiang. Of course, the reason why Yamata-no-Orochi was able to do this must be with the support of the Swollen Daughter. After all, Mai Yuqiang is the Swollen Girl. The daughter arranged it, so Yamata no Orochi must go to the swelling daughter to say thank you after he escapes from trouble."

"Because he was worried that we, or the ancient gods, would know immediately that it had broken away from the seal, Yamata no Orochi decided to let Mai Yuqiang attract our attention and run around outside. It turned out that it really We succeeded. Our attention was focused on Mai Yuqiang, who was behaving abnormally, and we ignored the Yamata-no Orochi who had escaped from Mai Yuqiang's body at some point. I think if nothing goes wrong, the Yamata-Norochi We should have met the Swollen Daughter by now, and we also lost our best chance to kill Yamata no Orochi."

At the end of the sentence, Elder Wu couldn't help but sigh, because an existence like Yamata no Orochi is harmful to human beings but not beneficial at all. If you miss the best opportunity to kill it, it will be very difficult to deal with it again. There may be a huge price to pay. . . You can never even get rid of it.

But the question Liu Xing is thinking about now is, why does Yamata no Orochi get involved with the Swollen Girl? Or why would Cthulhu cooperate with the Bloated Daughter?

Isn’t Cthulhu a very thoughtful Old One? Why does it come together with Nyarlathotep's clone?

Liu Xing really couldn't figure it out, but one thing Liu Xing could think of was that if the cooperation between Cthulhu and the Swollen Daughter was successfully achieved, some of the already delicate balances would likely be directly broken.

In Liu Xing's view, the current situation in the Cthulhu Running Group game hall is a bit like the avatars of Nyarlathotep such as Kowloon Seizing the Son, Swollen Daughter, Ao Guanhai, etc. are the princes, and Cthulhu, Glaaki And the old rulers such as Tsatogua are powerful ministers and generals. If the princes want to win in the end, they will definitely need to recruit a group of civil servants and generals to use for themselves. There will definitely be no way out if they fight alone, because everyone is from Naiya. The strength of Latotip's body is actually about the same, so they must borrow power from the outside.

So the question is, what is a player like me?

Soldier?

Or civilians?

Or is it just cannon fodder?

Liu Xing was a little undecided for a while.

"Okay, let's go back to the problem itself - Mai Yuqiang. I think it won't be long before Mai Yuqiang returns to normal, because Yamata no Orochi no longer needs him to cover, so what we need to do is The thing is to wait, as long as Mai Yuqiang returns to normal, then we will know whether the truth of all this is consistent with our guess." Elder Wu said seriously.

Since Elder Wu said so, Liu Xing and others could only choose to wait. As a result, less than half a day passed and Mai Yuqiang returned to normal!

As soon as Mai Yuqiang returned to normal, he said four words - Yamata no Orochi!
