Real Cthulhu Running Game

But not long after, something unexpected happened to Liu Xing.

Yin Luyang woke up unexpectedly.

Because Yin Luyang is his eldest nephew, Dior immediately went to visit Yin Luyang, and Liu Xing, as Dior's "good brother", naturally followed him to join in the fun. . . Well, the main reason is that Liu Xing wants to see whether Yin Luyang is a player or an NPC.

As a result, Liu Xing found that he had guessed wrong, because Yin Luyang is a character card like Lu Tianya that is separated from the player. However, Yin Luyang's rank is still much higher than Lu Tianya's because he was once a Cthulhu area player. Character card, and I have met some of Ao Guanhai’s brothers and sisters!

The reason why Yin Luyang disappeared in the laboratory back then was because an old friend brought a mysterious magic book. Although this magic book had no name, the recorded content was very detailed and effective. In Yin Luyang's opinion, it was completely It can be compared with "Masterpieces" such as "The Necronomicon" and "The R'lyeh Text".

But the last few pages of this magic book were sealed by some mysterious power, so his old friend came over with the magic book, hoping that Yin Luyang could help decipher it.

Although as a professor of occult science at Miskatonic University, Yin Luyang is already considered the leader of his generation, even comparable to some veteran experts, but this mysterious power is something that Yin Luyang has never seen before, so Yin Luyang It took a long time to complete the crack. . .

Just when Yin Luyang no longer had confidence in this and was about to return the magic book to his friend and ask him to hire another Gaoming, Yin Luyang's grandfather suddenly came to the school to meet his old friend and just see how his grandson was doing. .

When he saw his grandfather, Yin Luyang suddenly thought that he had a family heirloom called "Cracked". This "Cracked" was written and modified by generations of occult experts in the Yin family. It recorded There are a lot of spells, as well as many ways to break seals or curses, and this book can only be held by the head of the Yin family.

Therefore, Yin Luyang asked his grandfather for this book, and at the same time planned to inherit the position of the head of the Yin family.

Then, Yin Luyang succeeded, because in order to ensure that the Yin family's family tradition can be passed on continuously, and there will be no faults or divisions due to the reasons of "brothers, friends, brothers, respect", "father is kind and son is filial", the relationship between the heads of the family The position can be passed down from generation to generation, and many family heads' heirs are appointed when they are more than ten years old.

In short, at most one person in each generation of the Yin family can learn their own occult knowledge. If no one in this generation is qualified, they will have a bye. For example, no one in Yin Luyang's father's generation can pass the "entrance threshold." "That's why Yin Luyang's father became Dior's college classmate.

Of course, although most of the Yin family cannot inherit the family's core competitiveness, they can still learn some popular occult knowledge and go to occult schools such as Miskatonic University, so the occult experts in the Yin family Quite a few.

Back to the topic, Yin Luyang showed his talent in occultism at a very young age, and then became the heir to the family head as expected. After receiving the title of occultology professor at Miskatonic University, Yin Luyang theoretically You can inherit the position of head of the Yin family at any time, and the previous head of the family will not refuse under normal circumstances. However, because the previous head of the Yin family, Yin Luyang’s grandfather, is still in good health, Yin Luyang has never been the head of the family. idea.

Now in order to get "Cracked", Yin Luyang had to become the head of the Yin family. As a result, he received many requests from family members just after he took office. This made Yin Luyang busy for a while before he was free and started to read "Cracked" to find himself. Wanted answers.

It didn't take long for Yin Luyang to discover a way to crack the seal on the magic book. However, because this cracking method required the cooperation of several people, Yin Luyang called in a few of his friends. . . To put it bluntly, a module was opened for Yin Luyang’s team to participate collectively.

Then, the last few pages of the magic book were opened easily, and there were a lot of interesting contents recorded on them, but in Yin Luyang's view, these things were just something to laugh at, and they were not worthy of being treated like that. A strange power seals it.

Just when Yin Luyang and others were in doubt, one of Yin Luyang's friends suddenly thought of something, so he found a colleague who was proficient in cryptography to try to decipher it, and he actually deciphered a new spell.

However, this spell only teaches people how to release it, but does not tell what effect this spell will have. Therefore, to be on the safe side, Yin Luyang and others do not actually plan to use this spell.

As a result, the owner of the magic book could not help but seek death. After reciting the spell softly, everyone in the laboratory was swept into the black hole that suddenly appeared, and then was transported to a strange place. , is also a place that Liu Xing is somewhat familiar with.

Yes, it was Nyarlathotep's amusement park, the large island floating in the sky, and Yin Luyang and others also met Sylvia and others. . . And the pair of lovers who transcend age, gender and species.

However, the place where they met was not the Bloody Howl Town that Liu Xing had visited before, because according to Sylvia and others, there was a large-scale internal fight in Bloody Howling Town, which led to a war that swept the entire town. The fire burned everything to ashes, so the residents of Gorehowl Town had to go their separate ways and go to other places suitable for survival to live again.

Among them, Sylvia and others came to a place called Tianya Grassland and set up tents.

Tianya Grassland is a grassland located on the edge of the floating island in the sky. This area is rarely visited by mythical creatures because there is nothing else except grass. After all, there is darkness with no end in sight not far away. Void.

However, for small forces like Sylvia and others, living in Tianya Grassland is a good choice. Basically, there is no need to worry about enemies coming, and "newcomers" often appear in Tianya Grassland, so Xi Ervia and others also recruited many new members.

After hearing this, Liu Xing realized that Sylvia and others were actually novice guides, allowing players who were new to this place to know where they were and what they needed to do.

Of course, Ao Guanhai also said before that "Nyarlathotep's Amusement Park" has not yet been finalized at this time, so some of the place names that Liu Xing had heard of before have disappeared or changed. Blood Roar Town This is a very typical example. At the same time, the mission goals are constantly changing.

The previous mission of Liu Xing and others was to find diamonds, but this time Yin Luyang and others needed to find a hermit named Atu and get the answer to a question from him - when will the gods return to their places.

The Atu here is also one of Nyarlathotep's clones, but because its activity location is near the Congo, there are relatively few modules about it.

However, Liu Xing can also infer a piece of information from this, that is, Yin Luyang and others were actually summoned by Atu, because Atu most likely wanted Yin Luyang to be his spokesperson, but before that, there should be Tests are still indispensable.

As a result, Yin Luyang and others failed in the end.

According to the information provided by Sylvia, the golden rainforest where Atu lives in seclusion is not far from Tianya Grassland. It only takes half a day to reach the destination on foot. However, the golden rainforest is an easy place to get lost, because the golden rainforest is not only The area is huge, and the golden trees all around look exactly the same. If you are not careful, you will lose your sense of direction. At the same time, Atu does not know where exactly he lives in the golden rainforest.

However, Liu Xing believes that Yin Luyang and others already knew where Atu lived at the first time, because the golden rain forest is actually Atu!

That's right, Atu looks like a huge jelly-like creature with a large number of golden tentacles extending around it.

Therefore, Yin Luyang and others thought that this task was actually very simple at the beginning, and they only needed to reach the golden rain forest.

What Yin Luyang and others did not expect was that they were not the only player team preparing to go to the golden rain forest.

So when Yin Luyang and others obtained enough supplies from Sylvia and set out to the golden rain forest, they saw many people like them.

At this time, Yin Luyang and others realized the seriousness of the situation, because this posture was about to start a confrontation with the module!

Sure enough, when the last team of players arrived near the golden rain forest, all the players were dragged into the golden rain forest by tentacles that suddenly came out of the ground, and then the "trees" on the periphery of the golden rain forest suddenly connected together, forming a There is a tall golden city wall, and there is no climbing point on this wall at all, so some players gave up on leaving here after trying it a few times.

Then, a man in black who called himself Atu appeared in front of the players and told them that they needed to find various treasures in the golden rain forest. These treasures have different magical effects. Of course, the most important thing is that these treasures can be found in the golden rain forest. Atu can exchange them for points or other treasures, and the group of players with the highest points can clear the module.

To put it bluntly, this is a classic treasure hunt game, except that some powerful treasures are one-time use, so players need to choose between "use treasures" and "redeem points". Of course, the points redeemed are points. It exists in the form of gold coins, which means that points can also change hands. . . In other words, it was snatched away by others.

As a result, the golden rainforest turned into a dark jungle. Because the overall strength of the player teams Atu found was almost the same, so when two or more player teams fought, it was often the last player team to arrive. The fisherman has the best chance of profiting.

So in the two days before the start of the "game", Yin Luyang and others lived in fear, because Yin Luyang and others were masters in theory but novices in practice, so Yin Luyang and others knew that if they chose to go head-to-head with others, If so, the final result will be the destruction of the group.

Unfortunately, Yin Luyang and others were still attacked, and the player team that attacked Yin Luyang and others was also the final winner, because they took away the gains of multiple player teams, and more than half of the players died in their hands . . .

This made Liu Xing wary, because this team of players who were good at using force to solve problems would be his future enemies, and the combat effectiveness of his group was somewhat low and not high enough. . . It seems that we have to find a way to stay away from this group of players in the future.

Going back to Yin Luyang’s story, when Atu rang the bell to end the game, there were only three players left in Yin Luyang’s team, while all the failed players still had more than 20 people.

Just when these failed players thought they were about to tear up the card, Atu told them that there are five portals in the golden rain forest that allow players to leave the module by falling off, and the remaining players will be completely torn apart. Card, there is no chance of even resurrecting the module, because even if they successfully pass the resurrection module, their character cards will still be trapped in the golden rain forest.

As a result, Yin Luyang, who was the first to react, immediately turned around and ran to look for those portals. In the end, he found a portal. But when Yin Luyang returned to the real world, he saw Cthulhu appearing in the real world. in front of myself.

Therefore, "Yin Luyang" was directly frightened and fainted. After weighing it for a moment, Yin Luyang chose to give up this character card that had finally survived because he felt that he had no chance of winning against Cthulhu alone. , so there is no need to waste time, energy and points to participate in the resurrection module.

So Yin Luyang became a character card that lost control of the player.

After listening to the story of "Yin Luyang", Liu Xing felt that Yin Luyang, who should still be depressed in the real world, would know that the Cthulhu he saw was actually just a phantom, or that Cthulhu was trying to protect himself. The intimidating projection left by his clone will definitely make him more depressed.

Yes, although the Cthulhu that Yin Luyang saw was very realistic, it was actually a projection that did not even require a sanity test. Therefore, Yin Luyang escaped directly after waking up, but was killed by Mai Yu within a few steps. He was knocked unconscious by a punch.

However, in Liu Xing's view, Yin Luyang is just a piece of fat that comes to his door, because after all, Yin Luyang is a genuine expert in mysticism and can provide a lot of help to his group. In addition, Yin Luyang is Dior's eldest nephew. , so Liu Xing felt that it was a good choice to recruit Yin Luyang.

So before leaving Yin Luyang's room, Liu Xing gave Dior a wink.
