Real Cthulhu Running Game

White-haired wind, also known as snowstorm.

"My family lived in a small county town in the beginning. However, this small county town was based on a large coal mine, so it can also be said to be a large community. The neighborhood relations are quite good. Basically, everything is done by one family. , everyone around you will help, and if something big happens, most people in the city may come out."

Ding Kun showed an expression recalling the past and continued: "It was a very cold winter. I was already in junior high school. But one day while having dinner, our next door neighbor told us that a convoy had lost contact with them. They originally planned to transport several sets of large-scale equipment to the provincial capital. Of course, they had read the weather forecast before departure and were sure that there would be no extreme weather that day. However, a sudden white-haired wind not only brought the entire city to a standstill, but also And it also turned everything outside into a blur of white, making it impossible to see anything clearly.”

"Because the estimated round-trip time of this convoy is only about six hours, they set off with only a little water. Therefore, everyone thinks that if the convoy is trapped in the wild, people without food to supplement their calories will quickly die. would be in danger due to the low temperature, so our small county began to organize manpower for rescue. However, because I was still young at that time, I was assigned the task of staying behind. To put it simply, I was to rescue the entire building. All the children are being taken care of because most of their parents are involved in the rescue team and have no time to take care of these children."

"Brother Ding, please stop for a moment. Since this snowstorm appeared suddenly, do you think this matter is related to Itakua?" Zhang Jingxu asked curiously.

Ding Kun thought for a while, shook his head and said: "I'm not sure about this, because it might be a normal snowstorm. After all, the weather forecast at that time was not very accurate, but now I also feel that this snowstorm It came so fast. The weather was pretty good on my way home, but by the time I was eating, heavy snow was falling everywhere; and according to the rescued convoy members, they discovered that there was a snowstorm. After arriving, they immediately decided to go to the nearest town to rest, but the road was soon covered with heavy snow, and they could only move forward according to the instructions of the lights in the distance, but in the end they found that there was nothing in that direction."

"If this is not an illusion, then it is some kind of supernatural event similar to a will-o'-the-wisp, or someone deliberately guided the convoy into the trap they arranged from a distance. If it is the latter two, then run with Cthulhu. The game lobby cannot get rid of the relationship, but are there any people similar to players in the process?" Zhang Wenbing then asked.

Ding Kun shook his head again, but this time he said with great certainty: "No, because there were no outsiders who suddenly appeared during this process, and the team members and rescuers also stayed in the county town. How have they ever left, so they are unlikely to be players in the Cthulhu Run Game Hall. After all, it is still the same sentence - the players in the Cthulhu Run Game Hall are least in need of money, and if these people had money, they would have If you go to the provincial capital to live a good life, you will still have to live in a highly polluted coal mining community, not to mention that there were no casualties in the whole process."

"But in the eyes of the great druid, this is a supernatural event that may involve Itacua, so I should give me a high score. Of course, this convoy is just an addition, because there was no trace of it during the entire rescue process. There were not many difficulties. In short, it can be described as very smooth, but some strange things happened on my side; the community where my home is located has a stepped conference room, and meetings in the community are usually held there, so the whole All the children in the community were brought to the conference room, except for some children who were a few years old and were left to the care of the elderly at home."

"If I remember correctly, there should be close to a hundred children in the conference room at that time, and there were only three adults responsible for taking care of these children, two of whom were disabled. After all, the coal mine was in Safety was not very good, so there were always people injured and disabled due to various accidents, and these disabled people basically served as security guards in various communities, or as waiters in some stores; therefore, the meeting at that time There is only one able-bodied adult in the room, and this person is the younger brother of one of my cousins-in-law. How can I say this person? He is the typical boss who never makes big mistakes but makes small mistakes. He is criticized every once in a while because he is a little sloppy in his work. Ichiban.”

"So he was expelled from the rescue team, because the rescue team didn't want to have to rescue him halfway, but this guy had a good personality and was willing to play with kids like us, so he was kept It was understandable that he was responsible for taking care of us, but other people also knew that he was quite careless, so they were afraid that some children would sneak out and this person knew nothing about it, so they put The door of the conference room was closed, and a key was needed to open the door of the conference room from the inside, and this key was given to two other people for safekeeping."

"Judging from the current situation, this arrangement is very appropriate. After all, there are two security guards guarding the gate, and there are also some elderly people in the nearby buildings who will help to watch, so join the rescue team The people left directly; at the beginning, the atmosphere in the conference room was still very cheerful. After all, so many friends gathered together and there were no nosy parents nearby. It could really be described as a chaotic dance of demons. , for example, I played poker with a few friends at that time, and the three adults were happy for us to play with ourselves. After all, anyone who has taken care of children knows that one or both of them might want their own. It's old fate, and if you are asked to take care of hundreds of children, you won't be able to ascend to heaven where you are."

Regarding Ding Kun's words, Liu Xing and others nodded in sympathy, and at the same time they all remembered their fear of being dominated by children back then.

"But everyone also knows that a snowstorm like this can easily cause a power outage, so it didn't take long for our community to have a power outage. Naturally, the moment the power outage occurred, there were cries of ghosts and gods, but those who stayed behind had already guessed When there was such an incident, they lit candles and kerosene lamps as soon as possible to re-light the conference room; because the light of candles and kerosene lamps was still too dim, my relative wanted to appease us. The kids started telling stories, and although the first two stories were pretty good, this guy ended up telling a ghost story in the third story.”

"Although this ghost story seems quite old-fashioned now, and it is a straight shot without any technical content, it is still enough to scare children, so the result can be imagined. The key point of this story is The entire conference room was filled with screams, and then some naughty children blew out the candles or kerosene lamps next to him intentionally or unintentionally. It is conceivable that this was a new round of screams, and at the same time There were also small-scale pushing and fighting, but fortunately the three adults reacted quickly and quickly suppressed our chaos and relit the candles and kerosene lamps."

"Fortunately, the children's fights resulted in some skin injuries, so after confirming that no one needed treatment, my relative took out the snacks and candies that had been prepared for us to eat, but after giving them out in a circle, we found out I asked a question, that is, there seems to be an extra child in the conference room! Everyone knows that the neighborhood relations at that time were quite harmonious, and the entertainment activities for children at that time were just that, so those in the same community Children of the same age group basically know each other, and there will be no obvious increase or decrease in a short period of time, so when preparing snacks and candies, the person in charge also made some simple statistics."

"Here, isn't this the plot of the anime called "Another" in the island country? Suddenly there was an extra person in the class for no reason, and then everyone didn't know who the extra person was, so they had to force the choice. One person came out to ignore her, so as to achieve the purpose of returning the class size to a normal value." Li Hanxing said in surprise.

Liu Xing nodded in agreement, because he had also watched this anime, and this anime was also very popular with Liu Xing, who was still in the second phase of the middle school period at the time, so Liu Xing still remembered the plot of this anime, such as this The villain in the anime - Another, or the substitute, is actually a person who has died long ago. For some reason, he was summoned to a certain class as a medium of "curse", making it impossible to determine who the substitute is. Students and teachers died violently one by one, and the entire curse can only be lifted after determining who is the substitute. Therefore, the behavior of students and teachers to designate a "stand-in" is actually self-deception.

However, there are a lot of plot bugs in this anime, and it also feels a bit anticlimactic, so after being popular for a while, its popularity dropped and no one paid attention to it. . . But then again, if the plot of this anime is adapted into a Cthulhu Run game lobby module, it would actually be quite interesting. Of course, it would also be full of malice for players because it involves modifications. Memory issues.

At this time Ding Kun continued: "At the beginning, my relative and the other two people thought that they were wrong at the beginning. In addition, they also prepared spare snacks and candies, so now there are more Being alone was not a big deal, so I didn’t pay much attention to it. After all, there was another possibility that someone from another community was forced to stay in the community because they came to a friend’s house to play; but soon Things seemed a little wrong, because this extra child started to do bad things and bully others, causing the whole meeting room to get upset. And every time my relative wanted to teach someone a lesson, he found that he was being bullied. None of the children could point out who hit him."

"If it was just once or twice, it wouldn't be a big deal, but eight times out of ten, everyone could sense that something was wrong, so the three adults who realized something seemed to be wrong started to separate to maintain order in the conference room. And asked the children to group them according to the standard of who they usually play with. As a result, all the children had their own groups, and when they were asked if the person in this group was the right one, all the children said it was okay. Of course, this That's the biggest problem; the three adults also took this opportunity to see these children clearly and found that they all had impressions in their minds, but they also confirmed another thing at this time, that is, this is indeed the case. There is one more child who does not belong to our community.”

"Especially the two disabled people, because they are the security guards of the community, so they are very familiar with the children in the community. After all, they see each other every day without looking up. It would be strange if they can't recognize them, but this They also couldn't tell the difference between the extra children, because every child present was very familiar to them, and they could even figure out their last names and that they were the children of that family. This shocked all three of them. , after all, they have never encountered this kind of thing before, so they can only look at us honestly and dare not make any unnecessary movements for fear of alarming the extra child."

"Fortunately, the rescue team went very smoothly, so except for some necessary personnel, most of the personnel responsible for search and rescue came back, and then we children went back to our homes to find our mothers. As for those families Everyone was still participating in the rescue, so they went to stay at an acquaintance's house for one night. In short, all the children in the conference room left one by one, and no children were left behind, so the three people thought I thought too much and made a mistake in counting, so this matter was not spread out at the first time, and later it was used as a conversation piece after dinner. After all, this matter did not cause any damage. "

Speaking of this, Ding Kun couldn't help but sigh: "Of course, although this matter is said to be my personal experience, in fact, I just heard it told by my relative as a drunken story, so I can't guarantee it. The authenticity of this incident is because I was a very happy child at that time, and my life was not affected by this incident... From a rational point of view, I also think that this incident may It was those three adults who thought too much in that somewhat tense environment, and the lighting conditions were also very poor at that time, so there was also a situation where they were dazzled."

But at this time Liu Xing had other ideas.
