Real Cthulhu Running Game

This is also expected by Liu Xing and others. After all, the Cthulhu Run Game Hall will not let players find the key props in this module so quickly.

But even so, Liu Xing now wants to go into the basement and take a look, because Liu Xing now has a hunch that Shimazu Hiromichi just lied.

But now, Liu Xing doesn't know how to speak, because again, if he dares to go to the basement to take a look, Shimazu Hiromichi will 100% say that he doesn't trust him, and now Shimazu Hiromichi After all, he is the second in command of this investigation team, so only Gu Muming can stabilize him.

But even Gu Muming is unlikely to make the same request before he is ready to fall out with Shimazu Hiromichi, so. . .

"problem occurs!"

Gu Muming suddenly said: "Five hundred meters opposite us, a life suddenly disappeared, and judging from the energy intensity contained in this life, the person who died should be a healthy man in his twenties or thirties! But more What’s important is that next to this man there was a woman of about the same age and a little girl about five years old.”

"A family of three? The father died suddenly?" Abe Qingning looked at Gu Muming and said: "Then are there other people around him? Or mythical creatures?"

"No, there is no deliberate life activity within two hundred meters around them, and I can't feel any life except plants and some small animals within twenty meters."

As Gu Muming spoke, he winked at the half-ghosts around him, and three half-ghosts ran out in the direction Gu Muming said.

"Another one died, the woman in her twenties or thirties." Gu Muming frowned and said, "It's very interesting. The incident happened suddenly before. I'm not sure what happened to that man, but I can be sure that this man died." A woman loses all her breath in an instant. You must know that under normal circumstances, if a person dies suddenly, the vitality in his body, which is what you humans often call vitality, will continue to disappear until it returns to zero. In short, there is a process, but the woman’s vitality disappeared in an instant, it was a bit like the woman’s vitality was directly drained by something.”

"That is indeed quite strange. I remember that even if Mr. Gumu took action yourself, you might not be able to achieve this level, right?" Abe Qingning said with a smile.

Looking at Abe Qingning who was hiding his sword in his smile, Gu Muming also smiled and said: "Of course, because my ability can only make the vitality of a certain creature continue to deplete, but it cannot take away its last vestige of vitality. After all, I represent It's just 'corruption'; and this is why Hyakki Island sent me out, because my appearance can be regarded as releasing a certain amount of goodwill to you, which means that our Hyakki Island does not look like outright war with you."

"Then it's even more interesting, because in my memory, being able to take away the vitality of an ordinary person in an instant is a very difficult thing to do. For example, spending a lot of time, energy, and financial resources in advance to set up a formation. Or it could be causing people to take very terrible poisons, but those poisons usually take effect on the spot." Abe Qingning touched his chin and said, "How is that little girl?"

"It's okay. She is still where she is. It seems that she may have been frightened by her parents who suddenly collapsed. So I also think that his parents may have been poisoned by some kind of delayed onset poison, so that they may suddenly fall. The former and the latter died on the spot. Oh, my men have already come into contact with the little girl, but they don’t dare to approach at will. After all, my men are not normal people. Going out now may scare the little girl, so you sent People go and take a look.”

"Then why are you in such a hurry?"

Nizi Pingqing, who had been silent next to him, suddenly complained.

Gu Muming looked at Nizi Pingqing in surprise, because he really didn't expect that Nizi Pingqing would dare to complain about him. You must know that Nizi Pingqing's status is not even close to his own, so even if Nizi Pingqing complained, there would be no problem. , I can also take the opportunity to suppress him.

After all, the island country is a very rule-based country, so I can use "older and younger" as an argument.

However, when Gu Muming saw Shimazu Hiromichi standing vaguely in front of Nizi Heike, he knew that Nizi Heike had most likely received Shimazu Hiroshi's hint, so he dared to stand up and complain about himself, and Shimazu Hiroshi That's why he did this, most likely because he was dissatisfied with the fact that he had just made his own decision and sent his half-ghosts to find someone without saying a word, instead of simply discussing with him.

As bystanders, Liu Xing and others actually saw it more clearly, because they saw Shimazu Hiromichi making a very covert gesture towards Nizi Heiqing at the beginning, and then Nizi Heiqing found the right opportunity to speak. .

After thinking about the cause and effect, Gu Muming nodded and said: "You are right, I did take it for granted, thinking that the little girl could not escape the fate of sudden death, but I didn't expect that she was actually safe. .”

"Then Andre, please take someone for a walk."

After Shimazu Hiromichi finished instructing Andre, he smiled and said to Furumu Ming: "Mr. Furumu, I know that you were a stickler when you were on Hyakki Island, but since you are willing to cooperate with us now, I will I hope you can discuss with us more when necessary."

"sure."

Gu Muming said without hesitation: "My way of thinking is different from that of you humans, so sometimes I really need you to correct what I do."

After Fang Gu Muming said this, everyone present became silent until Andre brought the little girl back.

As Gu Muming said, this little girl looks like she should still be in kindergarten, and she has become a little stupid because of the sudden death of her parents.

Then there are the bodies of the little girl's parents. They look like normal people, but they are no longer breathing.

"Um?"

Gu Muming walked forward with some confusion and put his hands on the two people's bodies, "Not poisoned? There is no poison in their bodies at all, but their vitality has indeed disappeared."

"But if they lose all their vitality, how can they still be lifelike?" Shimazu Hiromichi asked equally puzzled.

"I don't know either."

At this time, Gu Muming's expression made Liu Xing think of only four words to describe it, and that was "doubting life."

For an existence that can be called a "demigod", Gu Muming is still very confident in his knowledge reserve. But now he encounters something that he can't explain clearly. How can Gu Muming not start to doubt life.

"It seems that we can only ask this little girl. Maybe she can tell why her parents became like this."

As Abe Qingning said this, he took out a piece of paper that was white and abnormally white from his pocket, and then quickly folded out a paper crane.

"Shikigami." Tanegashima Teruichi whispered: "If nothing else, this shikigami should have the effect of soothing people's hearts; although this shikigami belongs to the lowest level of onmyoji, it can be used in such a short period of time. Completed within the time limit, it shows that Abe Qingning is very good and has very good basic skills."

At this time, Abe Qingning had already handed the paper crane to the little girl, and Liu Xing also heard the sound of the dice falling to the ground. It seemed that the little girl was still the key figure in this module.

After getting the paper crane, the little girl's expression calmed down.

Seeing this situation, Abe Qingning immediately stood between the little girl and her parents, then squatted down, put on a very kind expression and said: "Kid, what's your name?"

"I'm your father!"

Um? !

Everyone present was stunned, because no one thought that such a little girl would be so eager to get a super promotion as soon as she came up.

"Uh, kid, are you kidding me?" Abe Qingning said awkwardly.

"Who are you kidding? Don't you understand human language? I am your father!" the little girl replied calmly.

This moment made Abe Qingning really stupid, because he really didn't know what to do now.

At this moment, Gu Muming stood up and said, "So that's it. I finally figured out what happened to this family of three. It turns out that someone wanted to possess them."

Gu Muming pointed with his left hand, and a wooden man appeared behind the little girl. Then in the next second, the little girl suddenly closed her eyes and fell to the ground, while the wooden man came to life.

"I am..."

Before the wooden man could finish speaking, Gu Muming shut him up, or made the wooden man's mouth disappear.

"If nothing else, this family of three encountered a ghost, or a ghost attack. It's just that the other two ghosts directly took away the life force of the parents and wanted to reincarnate. But this guy has a lot of ideas. , ready to seize this little girl’s body and start a new life of her own.”

Gu Muming still said with some doubts: "But the problem is, even on Hyakki Island, it is just a ghost, because the conditions for forming a ghost are too difficult. Even if we take action on Hyakki Island, there is no guarantee that it can be created. A ghost came out, so being able to encounter three ghosts at once on Hyakki Island was beyond my imagination; and even ghosts are harmless most of the time, because they don’t have We take the initiative, so there are other people behind these ghosts.”

At this moment, the little girl suddenly woke up again, her eyes full of doubts.

Because from her perspective, she was originally hiding in the woods with her parents, but how could she be back in the factory area in the next second, surrounded by a group of strange brothers and uncles. . . There is also a very strange wooden man.

At this time, Abe Qingning, who had already eaten once, adjusted his mood and said to the little girl: "Kid, what is your name?"

Although she was a little scared, when she saw Abe Qingning, the little girl who was still holding a paper crane suddenly felt a sense of intimacy for no reason, "My name is Hanako, I am five years old, and I go to Huahua Kindergarten."

"A very well-behaved little girl." Liu Xing shook his head and said, "What a pity."

After learning the truth about the Cthulhu Game Hall, Liu Xing began to treat the NPCs in front of him as real people.

"Oh, can you tell uncle what you and your parents have done in the past two days?" Abe Qingning continued to ask.

After thinking for a moment, Hanako continued: "My parents and I have been playing around since we went to the island, and we also ate a lot of delicious food. But yesterday, for some unknown reason, my father said we couldn't go back tonight. The hotel has taken a break. We want to experience life in this factory, so we need to stay overnight in the factory. We had a bonfire party last night. I had a lot of fun with some friends I just met, and I also got three candies. , I gave the extra two to my parents."

"It's candy." Zhang Jingxu suddenly said: "Just like what Lord Kuchiki said just now, mythical creatures like ghosts or ghosts are indeed very rare, and most of the time they are harmless but very dangerous existences. Therefore, before getting the exact information, no one would know that this was caused by the three ghosts; ghosts, as a kind of non-entity existence, can be integrated into entities in special ways, so these three ghosts were Added to the candy.”

"In fact, integrating ghosts into candies is a classic operation, because the raw material of candies is syrup, and syrup is a liquid at high temperatures, and becomes a relatively hard solid when it cools down, so adding ghosts and It is not difficult. At the same time, there have been similar situations in the historical records of Chinese Daomen. It is nothing more than someone coveting the property of a certain big family, so he used this method to let a ghost who obeyed his orders replace the owner of that family. .”

"Then the question is, this family of three looks like ordinary people, so who would use ghosts to harm them?" Liu Xing asked doubtfully.

"It's easier to invite gods than to send them away." Zhang Jingxu replied seriously: "In ancient times, some so-called gods were these ghosts. Although they couldn't do anything on their own, they could use their incorporeal advantage to carry out investigations. While waiting for the mission, some ghosts that have lived longer can still act as grandfathers to guide you; but ghosts are ghosts after all. If they possess a person for too long, the person will also be seriously affected, so this person will It must be sent to God.”

"Zhang Jingxu, you mean that someone wanted to send these three ghosts away directly, so they thought of a way to divert the trouble away?"
