Real Cthulhu Running Game

Standing in front of the kitchen door, Liu Xing knew that the kitchen door had not been opened for several years because the paint surface of the door was covered with dust. However, what made Liu Xing a little curious was that there were no gaps under the door. Song He blocked it with a rag.

"Although my kitchen hasn't turned on for a long time, and it's still on the top floor, there are still mice activities, so I simply blocked the crack in the door." Song He said while unlocking the door: "I've already I blocked all the openings in the kitchen and sewer pipes, but there are still mice popping up out of nowhere.”

The lady smiled, shook her head and said, "I know this very well. I have a house in my hometown that has been idle for many years. In order to prevent rats from biting the furniture, I covered the toilet with cement. In the end, I still don’t know how many rats escaped from there.”

Song He nodded and said seriously: "Then I will open the kitchen door now. Please be mentally prepared and hold on tight if a few mice run out."

As Song He spoke, he unlocked the door and then pushed the door open.

As a result, the expected mouse did not appear.

Since no one has come in for a long time, Song He's kitchen has naturally not been cleaned for a long time. Therefore, the entire kitchen has been covered with a layer of dust, and of course there is a lot of mouse droppings scattered everywhere.

However, what made Liu Xing feel a little concerned was that the kitchen of Song He's house did not have windows or guardrails.

Because it is the top floor, it is understandable for Liu Xing not to install guardrails, but Liu Xing can't understand why Song He's house doesn't even have windows?

As a result, the young man on the side asked this question, "Song He, how come your kitchen doesn't even have a window? Normally when it's windy and rainy, wouldn't your kitchen be a mess?"

Song He sighed, shook his head and said, "You don't know this. Before my parents moved away, my mother once used a pressure cooker to make soup, but she forgot about it because of something else. As a result, the pressure cooker It exploded directly, smashing the window together with the frame. Then the new windows installed after that always crumbled soon after, so later my family just removed the windows and hung a small curtain to block the wind. Rain; later when I was living alone, I closed the kitchen door, and I don’t know when the small curtain disappeared, maybe it was blown away by the strong wind.”

Because the kitchen area is not large, only the young man and Song He walked in to check the situation, while Liu Xing and others were guarding the door.

Just when Liu Xing thought nothing would be found in the kitchen, the young man suddenly discovered a strange place.

Because Song He's father loved fishing and was very good at fishing, he basically went to nearby fishing grounds every week to bring back a few fish. Therefore, Song He's family specially used cement to separate a one-meter-long fish tank under the water tank. Put fish in a square pond so that Song He's family can often eat fresh fish.

Although due to its location, there must be less dust in the pool than in other places, the young man found that the dust in it looked a bit wrong, as if it was put in deliberately because the dust was distributed too evenly. .

"In a pool in this position, the dust must be thicker in the inner part. After all, when the dust enters the pool, it will be blocked by the cement board in front. However, the thickness of the dust in this pool is almost exactly the same, as if someone deliberately placed it there. It went in... Although we cannot rule out that this is the miraculous work of nature, the possibility is really low."

Although he didn't want to, or didn't dare to accept it, because what the young man said made sense, Song He could only nod his head and said, "Yes, there does seem to be some problem with the dust in this pool, but I think there is something wrong with it." It may be that strong winds blew one day, and the air flow formed a vortex in the pool, which evenly distributed the dust... Of course, this possibility is not high."

At this time, the short-sleeved man who had been silent all this time suddenly spoke, "If someone really sneaked into this kitchen, then he most likely rappelled into the kitchen from the roof, so there might be footprints on the window sill of the kitchen. But since this person deliberately arranged the dust in the pool, he should have dealt with his own footprints; but this person's method of doing things is a bit rough, so we should be able to find new clues if we check carefully."

As a result, just as the short-sleeved man said, Song He soon discovered that there were some slight wear and tear on the original window frame. It looked like someone stepped on it to exert force, and the sole of his shoe rubbed against this position many times.

"Wang Defa, is it true that someone in my family has been hiding in this kitchen before?!"

At this time, Song He had a look of horror on his face, because anyone who found out that an outsider had unknowingly entered his home would find it very scary, especially since Mi didn't know what this person wanted to do.

"Let's go take a look at the roof. Song He, you can also call someone to install a guardrail for the kitchen as soon as possible. Even if it costs a little extra money, we must try to have it done tonight, otherwise I think you will have to sleep tonight. No more." The lady put forward her suggestion seriously.

Song He nodded quickly and looked at Liu Xing, "Liu Xing, I don't know anyone who makes guardrails here, so you call your dad and ask if he has a suitable candidate. If so, ask him to come today." The guardrails are made, remember to use the best and strongest materials, even if it costs twice as much, I can accept it.”

Liu Xing didn't say much. He called his father directly and told Song He's conditions. Of course, Liu Xing also told the situation of Song He's family.

Therefore, Father Liu, who realized the seriousness of the situation, did not refuse and quickly found an acquaintance to build guardrails for Song He's house.

At this time, Liu Xing and others had also reached the roof of the building and were standing above Song He's kitchen.

"As expected, you can see that there are traces of rope friction here, and it looks like it is quite old."

Liu Xing looked at the guardrail in front of him, which had an obvious dent due to long-term friction.

"It seems that this person has not sneaked into Song He's house once or twice." The young man frowned and said, "My personal suggestion is to call the police, but I think it's useless for Song He to call the police, because like This kind of long-term and multiple infiltration, coupled with the fact that you have not lost anything, means that this person’s purpose is not property, and it is very likely that he also lives in this community, or even in this building. Building, that's why he can do this kind of thing so unscrupulously without fear of being discovered, so it will be difficult to catch him after calling the police, and it is even possible to scare the snake, or force him to jump over the wall. "

"But it's obvious that this person did this for the sake of excitement. Just like what Liu Xing saw last night, this person dared to pretend to be you, Song He, to say hello to Liu Xing, and even ran to you to use Your mobile phone replies to the message, which shows that he is very courageous, so we can set a trap to catch him; as long as we are sure that he has arrived in the kitchen, we can come to the top floor to give him the rope Take it, then we can catch the turtle in the middle of the pile."

As soon as the young man finished speaking, Song He said with a look of embarrassment: "But I still have a question, that is, Liu Xing saw this person turn on the light in the living room, which means that this guy left the kitchen, but You all have seen that my kitchen door is locked from the outside, so how did this person come to the living room and how did he lock the kitchen?"

In fact, this question is easy to answer, but saying it will make Song He feel even more terrifying.

Liu Xing knew that Song He should have guessed the answer, but he was unwilling to accept the answer in his heart, so he could only use this method to escape.

However, the programmer answered directly: "The answer to this question is very simple, that is, this person may have the key to Song He's house. Perhaps he secretly locked the kitchen door before Song He." He took the key to your house and got another one."

Hearing what the programmer said, Liu Xing noticed that Song He was a little unsteady on his feet.

A person secretly rappelling from the rooftop to your kitchen, and a person having a key to enter your home at any time are two completely different concepts, because the latter means that the person can really do whatever he wants in your home, and You don't know anything about his existence. . . Maybe one night when you were already asleep, that person stood quietly by your bed, not knowing what he was thinking.

Even Liu Xing, who has been through life and death many times in the Cthulhu Running Group game hall, feels a chill in his back when he thinks of this kind of scene.

Just like what most people will mention when introducing "Cthulhu Mythos" - the real fear actually comes from the unknown.

So for Song He, everything about that person is unknown, but he may be like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered in front of that person, because he has been secretly "observing" himself for many years.

It's scary to think about it.

But having said that, Liu Xing, as a bystander at this time, felt a little strange, because this person who had been secretly lurking in Song He's family for several years was most likely not the weirdo he had seen. This meant that this person It is most likely a smoke bomb, used to confuse the player's sight and waste the player's energy.

And judging from the current situation, there should be no need to speak on his own. Song He will not stay at home tonight, and may even move out of here directly, because now it is no longer a matter of pressing a guardrail to solve the problem. .

As expected by Liu Xing, Song He said decisively after coming to his senses: "This home can no longer be lived in. Liu Xing, please help me find someone to replace the security door first, and then help me repair the room." Sell ​​it to an intermediary, it doesn’t matter if the price is low, as long as it can be sold.”

Liu Xing nodded and sent Song He's request to his father again.

At this time, the master Liu's father hired to install the protective fence for Song He also arrived, so Song He went home and went to the kitchen to hand over the work to the master. As for Liu Xing and other players, they sat down in the living room to discuss the current situation. , but Liu Xing soon noticed that these players had reached a consensus, that is, they hope that Song He can stand up and use himself as bait to try to catch that person.

These players said that doing so would solve the problem once and for all and allow that person to receive the punishment he deserved. However, Liu Xing knew very well what these players were thinking, which was that they did not want Song He, a key NPC, to leave the module prematurely.

From what Song He just said, it is not difficult to judge that Song He has already thought about leaving and will never come back, so this is not good news for young people and other players, because They completely rely on the main plot that Song He enters. If Song He really leaves the module now, then these players will temporarily lose contact with the main plot and can only find ways to enter the main plot again, and this is also easy to miss. Some important plot points.

So for these players, it would be better for Song He not to leave at this time.

After Song He and the master discussed the materials and price of the protective fence, the master went back to work overtime to make the protective fence, while Song He sat down in a daze.

Then, the young man once again suggested that Song He try to lure the king into the urn and make the man pay the due price, and this time the young man also told the detailed arrangement.

Of course, this is said to be a "very detailed arrangement", but in fact it is a very simple combination of luring you into an urn and an urn to catch turtles. That is, Song He continues to stay at home alone, but locks the door and prepares weapons for self-defense, and then These players first hid outside the community, waited until the person triggered the "alarm" they had set long ago, and then rushed back immediately. They first went to the rooftop to cut the possible ropes, and then rushed directly into the room to attack the group of people. Rise up and attack.

But Song He is still a little reluctant, because no matter how perfect the plan given by the young man is, they will need at least five minutes to rush back to complete the encirclement, and who knows whether that person will be able to deal with him in these five minutes. Disadvantage to oneself.

So after Song He thought for a moment, he politely declined the young man's proposal.

The young man also knew that his plan was short of time, so he immediately said seriously: "Song He, don't worry, we are sure to come back within a minute to help you deal with that damn guy, because we can give the community in advance Just tell the security guard, and we will directly climb over the wall and enter the community, or simply pretend to be patrolling security guards and stay nearby; you have to know that although there is a high probability that moving will solve the problem, in case this guy really likes to pursue excitement If so, then he may continue to look for you."
