Real Cthulhu Running Game

"Ahem, hello everyone, I am Hiroyuki Maori, the host of this meeting. I believe everyone can know from my name that I come from the Maori family, and I am now the person in charge of foreign affairs of the Maori family, specializing in communicating with other forces. To communicate, that’s why I will be the host this time.”

A big face of a middle-aged man suddenly appeared on the main screen, which shocked the well-informed Liu Xing and the other three people. This was really scary, scary to death.

"Uh, I'm sorry. This is my first time using this APP and I have no relevant experience before, so I accidentally brought my face too close. Please bear with me."

Hiroshi Mouri apologized and took out a map of the island country from the side, "No more nonsense. Now let's get straight to the point. I believe you have already thought about it when you received the notice from the Cthulhu Run Game Hall. What should we do next, so I ask friends in the free speech area to privately chat with me about the public faction cities you want to capture, or your own cities that you think we should focus on defending; as for friends in the non-free speech area, if you If you have any good opinions, please privately message your plan to the person whose ID is the suggestion box. If it passes the review, we will also put it on this overall picture as the main opinion."

Zhang Jingxu didn't even think about it, he just privately messaged Mouri Hiroyuki with two words - Nara.

Not surprisingly, Zhang Jingxu was the first person to send the message, so soon a man in black came out and drew a five-pointed star at the Nara location on the map.

As for Mouri Hiroyuki, he also started to talk about his thoughts, "Oh, it seems that the heroes have the same view. We, the players of the Maori family, also want to take Nara. First of all, Nara is an important city closest to our samurai faction. First, secondly, as far as I know, the public faction does not have many people stationed in Nara, and finally, the victory points provided by Nara are just enough for us to win."

After Maori Hiroyuki finished speaking, he walked up and drew another five-pointed star in Nara's place.

"It seems that Nara should be a popular city."

At this time, Ding Kun suddenly smiled and said: "But besides Nara, we have a good choice, and that is Mount Fuji, because Mount Fuji is worth five victory points; and I heard that after the change, the public The factions did not dare to deploy more manpower on Mount Fuji, because the public faction still lost a quarter of its manpower in the sudden change, and the financial losses were even greater."

Liu Xing touched his chin and said somewhat: "If we had known this, we should have asked Konohana Kaiyeji for help and used her hands to kill all those people in the public faction, especially Sasaki Akira who owned the demon sword Muramasa. , I think he may become our biggest obstacle to capturing Mount Fuji."

Yin En nodded with deep sympathy and said affirmatively: "Yes, that Sasaki Akira is indeed a very troublesome opponent. If we meet him, we can only find a way to deal with him and let him kill himself, otherwise We can only think of ways to carry out long-range attacks, because fighting hand-to-hand with such a melee master is no different from seeking death."

"So our small team still lacks a strong melee master. It's a pity that Yin En, you are not using Ishikawa Rei's character card now, otherwise we might still be able to fight." Zhang Jingxu said seriously.

Hearing Zhang Jingxu suddenly mention "Ishikawa Rei", Yin En said with some hesitation: "Actually, I think it is better to let the Cthulhu Run Game Hall control Ishikawa Rei, because I can't bring out Ishikawa Rei's true ability unless I play it every time." Every judgment can be successful, and you don’t know, I recently took the time to take a look at Ishikawa Rei’s various values, and found that many of his attributes and skills have been improved, especially the swordsmanship has reached 95 points!”

"What the hell?!"

Li Hanxing couldn't help but say something rude, "Yin En, your character card is a bit powerful. It can actually reach a value that is infinitely close to the non-human level! I heard that the highest value of a player's character card is 95, because you have to keep it. The next 5 points are the area of ​​great failure, so according to what I heard, these last 5 points can only be obtained after being promoted to the Azathoth area."

Liu Xing has heard many opinions about the value of the last 5 points. The most mainstream statement is what Li Hanxing said. Because of the rules restrictions in the Cthulhu Run game lobby, the value of the player's character card is theoretically incorrect. It may exceed 95. After all, the range of 96-100 is reserved for big failures. However, if the player can be promoted to the Azathoth area, he can continue to improve his value, because players who have reached the Azathoth area are no longer subject to The constraints of the Cthulhu Run Game Hall!

Of course, this is just a guess, but this guess has been unanimously agreed by all Cthulhu area players, because they have found themselves touching the "ceiling" of the Cthulhu Running Group game hall. If this layer of " If the "ceiling" is broken, they will naturally be able to enter the Azathoth area.

However, even if there are players in the Cthulhu area who have found the "hammer" and "awl", they still dare not break the "ceiling" because they are full of fear of the Azathoth area!

Fear comes from the unknown.

The biggest feature of the Cthulhu Mythos has always been the "unknown" and "indescribable", and its most classic plot is that one or more investigators use various methods to gradually clear away the fog floating on mysterious events. And when the investigator feels that he is infinitely close to the truth, the investigator will find that the truth is further away than he imagined. What you know is not even a fraction, but since you have opened the door to darkness, then You have to go into the darkness.

There is everything in the darkness.

Therefore, many Cthulhu team mod writers believe that a truly good mod cannot leave a character card alive, because this is not Cthulhu.

"The investigators returned to their hometowns alive, married and had children with their favorite girls, and lived a happy life..."

"Haha, I lied to you. The investigators are all dead or crazy."

This is the sentence that those mod writers most want to leave at the end of the module.

Players in the Cthulhu area think that the Cthulhu Run Game Hall is such a "mod writer", so players think they are running one module after another. In fact, players have been running one module after another. Very long mod, but the Azathoth region is outside of this mod!

Within the module, whether it is the player, the KP, or the person who writes the module, they must abide by the rule book of the Cthulhu team game, but outside the module, everyone does not need to follow the rules. The rule book limits it.

That's why there is a very famous meme in the running group circle - physical/realistic persuasion, which means that after a "cordial" communication between the player and the kp in the real world, the kp is "willing" to modify the judgment result for the player.

Although the elimination rate of players in the Cthulhu Running Game Hall has always been very high, the Cthulhu Running Game Hall has never violated the game rules (except for certain bugs), which makes every player who has been wiped out convinced. oral. . . Of course this is unacceptable.

But no one has seen what the Cthulhu Run game lobby will look like after breaking away from the rules.

Therefore, the players in the Cthulhu area have a very consistent idea, that is, when they are promoted outside the Azathoth area, there will be no restrictions on the rules between themselves and the Cthulhu Running Game Hall, so the Cthulhu Running Game The lobby can kill itself without reason. . . If it wants to.

Therefore, no player in the Cthulhu region wants to be the leader, so they are deliberately controlling the rhythm of their games to avoid having to be promoted to the Azathoth region.

This is the horror of the unknown.

At the same time, this is also in line with the plot development of the Cthulhu mythology - when players first enter the Cthulhu Run game lobby, they will feel that everything is unknown, so they will take every step carefully, fearing that they will be run by Cthulhu. The group game lobby is obliterated; and when players are promoted to the Shoggoth area, they will feel that they have understood the rules of the Cthulhu Group Game Hall, and they can move forward and think about how they should get points to improve. I still started to save money to prepare to "ransom" myself; as for the Hounds of Tindalos area, all the players have become veterans, and they have written about various things in the Cthulhu Running Group game lobby. I already know all the unwritten rules, and as long as I don't deliberately seek death, I can pass the module with no risk.

But after being promoted to the Cthulhu area, players will have a new understanding of the Cthulhu Game Hall. At the same time, it will also let you know how naive your past ideas were and how terrifying the future will be. !

"In the end, all the players who cleared the Cthulhu Running Game Hall returned to the real world alive, and became winners in life with the money and treasures exchanged from the Cthulhu Running Game Hall."

"Haha, I lied to you, they were all killed by the Cthulhu Run Game Hall!"

"Because they no longer belong to the Cthulhu Game Hall!"

"Liu Xing, do you want to know the truth about the Cthulhu Game Hall?"

"It's very simple, just kill Yin En and Zhang Jingxu!"

? !

Liu Xing suddenly came back to his senses and looked around blankly.

"Liu Xing, what's going on with you?"

Zhang Jingxu brought a cup of hot water and said, "When I turned around just now, I saw that you were suddenly in trance like an old monk, sitting there motionless, so Yin En and I didn't dare to disturb you, for fear that our kindness would be a disservice."

At this time, Liu Xing, whose mind was still in confusion, took the water in confusion, and then froze there again. Yin En and Zhang Jingxu next to him couldn't help but smile bitterly, and after looking at each other, they could only let Liu Xing go again.

As for Liu Xing now, there is only one question in his mind, and that is who is the "person" who finally asked him to kill Zhang Jingxu and Yin En? Why would he say that?

In the end, can killing Zhang Jingxu and Yin En really allow him to get the truth?

etc!

Why do you think this way?

Liu Xing shook his head quickly, getting rid of all the inappropriate thoughts in his mind.

And Liu Xing, who had thrown his head away, finally came to his senses.

"Sorry, I just suddenly thought of some random things, so I was a little distracted. By the way, what is the topic of this online meeting now?"

Looking at Liu Xing who looked apologetic, Yin En shook his head and said: "To be honest, Liu Xing, you scared me and Zhang Jingxu this time. We all thought something serious happened to you; but the reason why you were distracted this time is actually It won’t be long, otherwise we would have called Ding Kun and the others over, so you didn’t actually miss any topics, and the results of the selection of free spokespersons have just been tallied up now.”

Liu Xing looked at the home screen and found that the current selection results were similar to what he imagined. Most people chose Nara and Mount Fuji. In addition, some people had a bold idea, that is, to go straight to Huanglong and sneak attack on the public house. Faction headquarters!

Of course, this proposal has been directly marked with a cross, indicating that it has been rejected by everyone.

However, Liu Xing still admires this proposal, because if all the players from the Wu family faction launch a sneak attack together, then they might be able to capture Tokyo. Although Tokyo is big, there are not many places where the public faction can settle down, so it is very embarrassing. The fact is that public factions are very densely distributed in Tokyo.

It is no exaggeration to say that as long as a branch of a public faction in Tokyo can be eliminated, then the public faction's manpower in Tokyo will be reduced by one-tenth.

Therefore, this attack plan is actually quite feasible, but the price to pay is also very high. If you don't save one out of ten, it will be a blessing.

And this is just an attack. If you want to defend Tokyo until NPC support arrives, no matter what, you have to die one more time.

"If nothing unexpected happens, our offensive target should be Nara or Mount Fuji. As for the defensive target, it should be those important cities on Shikoku Island. Because Osaka, the headquarters of our samurai faction, is near the center line, so our important cities near the center line They can get support from Osaka immediately, and they probably won’t choose these cities, so the only target they can choose is Shikoku Island.”

Yin En touched his chin and continued his analysis: "Our martial arts faction didn't pay enough attention to Shikoku Island. After all, before this, Shikoku Island was just a tasteless thing. It was tasteless to eat and it was a pity to abandon it. But now this tasteless thing is just worthless in the eyes of our players." It has become a hot cake, so we must send manpower to garrison on Shikoku Island, otherwise we will have to switch from offense to defense, and the situation will be unfavorable to us."

After hearing what Yin En said, Liu Xing set his sights on Shikoku Island, and then discovered that there were three important cities on Shikoku Island, which had always been ignored.
