Real Cthulhu Running Game

"crazy?"

Liu Xing frowned and said with some doubts: "So they saw some mythical creature landing at the dock? They were frightened and went crazy. So if they can't open the door in such a small space at once, Then they will definitely fight."

"It should be some kind of uncommon mythical creature, because our Shimazu family will make charts of some common mythical creatures and give them to people in need to learn, so that they will not be scared when they meet me in the future. Gotta go straight crazy.”

Shimazu Hiromichi shook his head and continued: "So among the enemies we will face, there must be at least a few uncommon mythical creatures. Therefore, we must be mentally prepared now to avoid encountering these mythical creatures. Will be scared crazy like these two people... But to be honest, I have always been curious about why we are so easily scared when we see mythical creatures?"

"This may be the fear engraved in DNA." Zhang Jingxu said seriously: "The reason why humans can stand out from many creatures is mainly because humans like to engrav everything into their DNA, so humans are very interested in all kinds of things. All kinds of dangers have a natural fear, which can ensure that when we encounter these dangers, we will think of it immediately, or even run away directly and subconsciously, because this can ensure the safety of our lives."

"Yeah, you see, African flat-headed brothers are the kind of people who don't have fear written in their DNA. No matter what enemy they see, they dare to attack directly. Therefore, flat-headed brothers are often killed by the enemy because they overestimate their capabilities. Of course, this may also be Brother Pingtou’s alternative way of survival, because some enemies who can kill Brother Pingtou will also be frightened by Brother Pingtou who is not afraid of death.”

Li Hanxing looked around and continued: "When I was on a mission in Africa, I provoked a flat-headed guy. This thing really had a protruding head. I just accidentally kicked a stone, and then Liu Xing hit the flat-head guy on the head. As a result, this guy chased me for several kilometers. Since I was on a mission and I couldn't shoot casually, I found the right opportunity to kick the flat-head guy away several times. As a result, he chased me for several kilometers. They all chased me even more fiercely.”

"Oh, Li Hanxing, are you talking about the flat-headed guy named Dis? I remember that it met a human-faced rat because it was chasing you. As a result, this guy was frightened. If it weren't for Hardy rescued it, and this guy had to become the meal of the human-faced mouse, but I really didn’t expect that the flat-headed brother could actually become a pet." Andre said with a smile: "But Then again, I heard that Hardy seemed to have been rescued by Dis, because if Dis had not attracted the enemy's attention, Hardy might not have had a chance to escape..."

Andre's words came to an abrupt end, which made Liu Xing and others who were listening to the story feel like they were neither up to nor down.

Fortunately, Li Hanxing also knew this story, "It's not that this matter can't be said. Anyway, it has passed the confidentiality time limit that we need to abide by. And although this matter is a bit strange, I personally think it may be that Hardy and the others scared him." Own."

After hesitating for a moment, Andre nodded and said, "Okay, let me tell you this story. That was when we accepted a mission from the Egyptian authorities to explore a suspected haunted pyramid, so Ha and I Dee led a team to the pyramids; however, halfway through, one of my family members died in an accident, so I temporarily left the team and went home to attend the funeral. As a result, when I returned to Egypt again, I found that Hardy and others were all distracted in the camp, except for the flat-headed guy named Dis."

"Seeing their looks like this, I knew that they had most likely encountered mythical creatures, so I gave them the tranquilizing medicine that I had prepared long ago. Their condition got better, and I gave it to them. It tells what they encountered in that pyramid; that pyramid looks no different from an ordinary pyramid in appearance, and it can be found through ultrasonic and other detection methods that the pyramid is nearly solid, with only one passage that can reach an area of ​​less than one hundred square meters. It’s a room of 30 meters, and whoever enters this room will most likely never return.”

"At the beginning, we thought that there might be a dream door hidden in this room, and those so-called missing persons were self-directed and staged by a certain force in order to cover up the truth, so Hardy and others were well prepared. After that, I entered the room. As soon as I entered the room, I felt the earth shaking. Then everyone felt as if they were trapped in quicksand. They were swallowed by the quicksand within a few seconds; and then I don’t know how long it took. , Hadi and the others woke up in a daze, and then found that they seemed to have arrived at the construction site of the pyramids in ancient Egypt."

"During this process, Hardy and others have been in a state of mental trance, so they can't tell whether they are dreaming or whether they have really traveled back to ancient times. But what is more important is their sudden appearance. It attracted a group of people wearing white masks, who were suspected of being supervisors, to chase them. But the most important thing was that these people had guns. When Hardy and others discovered that they could not hit those people at this time, they I had no choice but to escape and hide in a pyramid under construction."

"Then, if Dis hadn't taken the initiative to attract the attention of those masked men, Hardy and others might have been caught. So after Hardy and others stayed in the pyramid for a long time, they found that they could They returned to the real world by stroking a Sphinx, so they came back like this, but they were still in this half-dream state for several days, until I came back to join them; as a result, that night, not far away The pyramid suddenly collapsed and disappeared into the vast yellow sand."

After listening to the story told by Andre, Liu Xing and others guessed why Li Hanxing insisted that Andre finish telling the story, because this story may involve another clone of Nyarlathotep— —The faceless god.

In the background view of the Cthulhu mythology, the faceless god is the prototype of the Sphinx, and his ability is to be able to teleport people back to the past, and this is also considered to be an important reason why the pyramid can be built, because The faceless god can send a modern construction team back in time, and then this construction team will serve as the core, and the ancient Egyptians will serve as tool men to build the pyramid.

As for the role of the pyramid, although there is no official statement yet, players in the Cthulhu Game Hall believe that it may be related to the Faceless God. Of course, the Black Pharaoh is also possible, but according to some senior players Rumor has it that the relationship between the Black Pharaoh and the Faceless God is not good. After all, there is no room for two tigers in this mountain, so the Faceless God returned to Egypt in the "past".

Thinking of this, Liu Xing was suddenly curious about what kind of team this faceless god would organize? Or what would a team from the "past" look like? And what exactly are the pyramids used for?

"In this case, Andre and your former teammates may have lost consciousness for some reason after entering the pyramid room, and then they have been in hallucinations, so when the hallucinations almost disappeared, they He automatically imagined the process of returning to reality, and then walked out of the pyramid in a daze." Shimazu Hiromichi guessed with interest: "I have heard that there are some European alchemists who can pass Magnetic fields and drugs were used to form a maze, but such a maze was time-consuming and labor-intensive, and the effect was not very good, so it was quickly shelved by those alchemists."

"We have also considered this possibility, but because the pyramid has sunk into the desert, we have no way to determine what is going on. However, the Egyptian officials did not dwell too much on it and directly determined that we had completed the mission. ...But after this mission, Hardy and others would fall ill from time to time, and they would suddenly become confused no matter when and where. Therefore, Hardy and others either died in the mission, or they were like me. I quit the mercenary group, of course this is one of the reasons why I left the mercenary group, because I don’t want to become like them one day.”

Andre let out a long sigh and continued: "I'm actually not afraid of death, but I don't want to die in such an unclear way, and I don't want to become a fool who is confused all day long."

For some reason, Liu Xing suddenly felt that Andre was also an NPC with a story.

"Okay, now it's time for us to decide what to do next."

Shimazu Hiromichi clapped his hands and said seriously: "Judging from the current situation, the enemy we face may be stronger than we imagined, so to be on the safe side we need to make more preparations, such as face-to-face There are some mythical creatures that I have never seen before; so now I have a suggestion, that is, we go to Tanegashima Town to take a look. If we can confirm who it is, we will return directly to Kagoshima City and wait until everything is collected. After the soldiers and horses, we will come to Tanegashima... If we still find nothing, then we have to leave Tanegashima, because the water on this sub-island is too deep for a few of us to grasp it."

At this moment, one of Andre's teammates suddenly said: "Look, someone is planning to land from the dock."

Liu Xing and others immediately followed the sound and saw a submarine emerging from the water. Then more than ten men in black left the submarine and came ashore. It is worth noting that they all carried a samurai sword on their backs, so they saw Looks like a ninja from a movie.

Shimazu Hiromichi took out a telescope and took a look, and then said with great certainty: "Judging from their clothes, these people should be ninjas from Iga. It seems that someone hired them to investigate what happened on Tanegashima. .”

Having said this, Shimazu Hiromichi couldn't help but snorted, "I never thought that outsiders would care so much about what happened on Tanegashima, and would be willing to spend a lot of money to hire so many Iga ninjas. During the battle, both Iga ninjas and Koga ninjas were proud of their favor and took the opportunity to raise their own status. As a result, they were boycotted by our samurai faction and the public faction, so the ninjas did not appear on the battlefield of the public war."

"Oh, are these ninjas very powerful?" Liu Xing asked curiously.

After Shimazu Hiromichi thought for a moment, he nodded and said: "These ninjas actually have something, because they have experienced rigorous training since they were young, and they will specifically learn how to deal with onmyoji, samurai and mythical creatures, so even if they are positive One-on-one, these ninjas can maintain a winning rate of about 70% when facing opponents of the same level; however, times have changed, so when these ninjas deal with well-trained gunmen, their winning rate drops directly to 20% For example, like these ninjas on the dock now, Andre and the others should be able to destroy them without taking any damage."

Hearing Shimazu Hiromichi say this, Andre nodded unceremoniously and said: "Yes, these ninjas are just like European demon hunters and American monster hunters. They are special professions in a specific era. They deal with They may perform well against certain opponents, but when facing heavily armed special forces, their special skills will not be as effective as they should be. After all, the rifles in our hands are designed to deal with all kinds of bells and whistles."

"But on today's Tanegashima, these ninjas should be able to play a good role, and these ninjas are from Iga and are very good at team investigation activities, so we can use these ninjas to find traces of outsiders, but The premise is that we cannot be discovered by them, which is a difficult challenge."

As soon as Shimazu Hiromichi finished speaking, several more people came out of the submarine.

"Wang Defa is actually from Dayou's family?"

Shimazu Hiromichi frowned and said: "The person taking the lead is called Otomo Shitaka. He is the third son of the current head of the Otomo family. He is responsible for doing some dirty work for the family. After all, someone must be responsible for some shameful things. Yes, and the person in charge must have some identity, otherwise he won’t be able to control the situation.”

"It's him."

Tanegashima Teruyi suddenly said: "This guy has been to Tanegashima before. It seemed that he wanted to spy on our Tanegashima family, but I blocked him back. Later he came to Tanegashima without giving up. Several times, they were all in the name of tourists, but fortunately, our Tanegashima family has no secrets to begin with, so there is no so-called Tanegashima mystery that Otomo Hoshitaka wants to know."

Tanegashima Teruichi's words made Liu Xing couldn't help but think of a sentence - as long as you are useless enough, no one can take advantage of you.
