Real Cthulhu Running Game

"In any case, it would be better for us not to meet Wang Qi and others again now, so as not to cause trouble again." Liu Xing said with his hands on his hips: "But you should also go to the amusement park near Arkham City. Did you hear that? So I still want to go there and have a play."

"That amusement park is indeed quite interesting, and it is also very suitable for Tian Qing and Li Mengyao to practice courage, especially when we are going to Earthsea Country soon, so Liu Xing, you put on makeup tomorrow, and we will go to this amusement park together." Take a tour of the paradise, then you can stay among us, so you don’t have to worry about being seen by Wang Qi; as for Yin En, I think as long as Yin En doesn’t admit it to yourself, then Wang Qi’s parents won’t be able to do anything I'm causing trouble for you." Zhang Jingxu said with a smile.

After all, more than ten years have passed. Even if Wang Qi's parents can recognize Yin En with the help of the Cthulhu Running Team Game Hall, Yin En can directly deny it. At that time, Wang Qi's parents can only They have no choice but to accept "reality", not to mention they have no reason to dwell on this issue.

At this time, Ding Kun also came back.

At this time, Ding Kun looked like he had drunk a lot of wine, but his consciousness was still quite clear, so he sat down and continued chatting with Liu Xing and others, talking about the gathering of fellow villagers.

Everything is normal, no surprises.

However, Ding Kun heard one thing from the little brother, that is, the recent town of Innsmouth suddenly became lively, and the townspeople seemed to be preparing to celebrate something else, so Miskatonic University has Personnel were sent to investigate, trying to find out what was going on.

"Several big families in Innsmouth Town have existed for hundreds of years, and they all have an inseparable relationship with the Deep Divers, so to put it bluntly, Innsmouth Town is actually a town of Deep Divers. But what’s interesting is that Innsmouth Town does not belong to a certain tribe of deep divers. Instead, deep divers from any tribe can receive VIP-level treatment when they come to Innsmouth Town. This is Innsmouth Town. Differences from other human towns and villages related to deep divers."

Ding Kun said seriously: "As far as I know, most human towns or villages related to deep divers are basically established by deep divers and deep diver hybrids, so they are subordinate to the founders The tribe they belong to, and then the secret church that extends further, can also be regarded as the subordinate unit of the deep diver, so when they encounter the deep divers from other tribes, they will look at the dishes, at most, they will provide some food and Accommodation will basically not provide more help to these deep divers; but Innsmouth Town is different, it will provide all deep divers with the help it can."

"Although the town of Innsmouth is located within the sphere of influence of a certain deep diver tribe, and that deep diver tribe is quite powerful and ranks among the top ten deep diver tribes on the entire earth, this deep diver tribe The diver tribe did not manage the town of Innsmouth, but left a channel along the coastline to the town of Innsmouth, allowing deep divers from other tribes to go to the town of Innsmouth, even if these divers came from and They are hostile tribes, which is basically something you don’t see elsewhere.”

"Miskatonic University also asked some deep divers who are more pro-human about why the town of Innsmouth received such special treatment. As a result, these deep divers were very secretive about it and refused to tell them whether they were alive or dead. The secret of Innsmouth Town, so Miskatonic University can only suspect that Innsmouth Town may belong to Dagon, Hydra, or even the territory of Cthulhu, so those deep divers dare not go there Innsmouth Town is king and hegemony; of course, it may also be because Innsmouth Town is the first human town to communicate with deep divers, and it also has a special status among the deep diver clan, so it belongs to The entire deep diver clan."

At this time, Zhang Wenbing suddenly said: "Regarding this matter, I have actually heard of another speculation, that is, when the town of Innsmouth was controlled by the deep divers, Dagon and Hydra were not missing yet, so at that time Although the deep diver clan is also divided into many tribes, there will be some conflicts between each other, but with the mediation of Dagon and Hydra, it will not become a big deal; as a result, when Dagon and Hydra After the sudden disappearance, these deep diver tribes gradually became unrestrained, and even started fighting more fiercely than fighting with ghouls. Over time, the current situation was formed - each deep diver tribe was like a prince. country, and the emperor Cthulhu cannot control them because he sleeps every day, so these princely countries are fighting more and more fiercely."

"This metaphor is quite appropriate. Today's deep diver clan is indeed like the vassal states of the past. Each territory has its own territory, and they are constantly attacking each other. It is said that there are currently seven deep diver tribes that have the ability to dominate the world. , and the remaining tribes of deep divers are, to put it bluntly, vassals of these seven major tribes; the ideas of these seven major tribes are very simple, that is, after defeating other tribes, they will elect their own clan leaders to become the new Dagon or Hydra, in this way, the entire deep diver family can be smoothly unified... Of course, the most important thing is that by doing so, you will have the opportunity to obtain the blessing of Cthulhu, because Dagon and Hydra received Cthulhu back then. With Lu’s blessing, I was able to transform from a deep diver into a Star Familia.”

In the eyes of some fans of the Cthulhu Mythology, Dagon and Hydra are not so much deep divers as they are called Star Spawn, because they are completely different from ordinary deep divers.

And some people think that deep divers can evolve into Star Familia. As for the evolution path, it is the blessing of Cthulhu. Because the Star Familia seems to be a smaller version of Cthulhu, it may be Cthulhu who is doing the blessing. After blessing, the blessed person becomes a smaller version of himself.

"Judging from the current situation, these seven large deep diver tribes will definitely fight. After all, they will not have this chance after Dagon and Hydra return, so this war is already imminent; however, These deep divers may not know that their boss Cthulhu seems to be sleeping, but in fact he is constantly moving secretly, so I suspect that these deep divers may be being used by Cthulhu!"

Zhang Wenbing said with great certainty: "Everything happens for a reason. We have discovered that although Cthulhu's body is still trapped, his clone has already left R'lyeh City to move around freely, so we can be sure that Cthulhu knows this. What are the deep divers doing? Logically speaking, Cthulhu should want to see a united deep diver family, but it allows these deep divers to occupy the mountains and fight with each other, so there must be something wrong with this. The reason is, and the reason is most likely that Cthulhu wants these deep divers to fight among themselves, and then use these dead deep divers to do something, such as breaking through the seal!"

"Well, how should I put it? I think this speculation of yours, Brother Zhang, is a bit familiar. I seem to have seen it in some novels..." Li Hanxing couldn't help complaining: "This is like a martial arts novel. Originally, The martial arts leader suddenly disappeared. As a result, news spread in the martial arts that the leader had successfully overcome the tribulation and ascended, or had gone crazy and died. However, before that, the leader had not forgotten to hide his treasures or martial arts secrets. Somewhere, there is a legend that one can become the best in the world by obtaining treasures or martial arts secrets; then many martial arts masters began to search for the treasures, and it turned out that several clues had to be integrated to know the whereabouts of the treasures, so these people searched for the treasures. They started to fight continuously based on the clues, and finally found out that the leader of the alliance was actually the mastermind behind all this."

"Yeah, I think I've seen this plot before... But this matter has little to do with us. After all, we can't sneak into a tribe of deep divers to watch the fun, but I'm still curious about this seal. What is Smouth Town planning to do? Is it to celebrate Cthulhu's birthday?" Liu Xing complained.

"The town of Innsmouth, as an important area in the Cthulhu mythology, has been strengthened in all aspects in the Cthulhu Run game hall. It is full of powerful humans and deep divers. The most important thing is that these guys are the enemies of the player, so if ordinary players want to go to Innsmouth Town during the gap between the modules, they will receive a reminder from the Cthulhu Run game lobby halfway. , let them leave Innsmouth Town immediately, otherwise they will bear the consequences. As a result, those players who like to seek death will know what it means if they don’t seek death, they will not die.”

Yin En held a water glass and said: "To put it simply, Innsmouth Town is a minefield. Every step you take, you may step on a mine and trigger a plot kill. Of course, if you enter Innsmouth because of participating in the module, Innsmouth Town, then the main plot of the module is a relatively safe route, but the module about Innsmouth Town is very rare, and it may be triggered in each area, and the difficulty is also very different. For example, there is The main mission of the module is to follow the tour group to visit the town of Innsmouth, and the player only needs to follow it faithfully, while some modules will ask the player to steal things from the mayor’s house.”

"It seems that we have no chance to travel to Innsmouth." Liu Xing shrugged and said with a smile: "But having said that, the situation in Dunwich should be better, right? Whateley's My younger brother has been sent away, so there shouldn’t be any powerful mythical creatures over there, right?”

"Dunwich, I remember that although Dunwich appeared in the original work, one of the important characters in the original work, the Wilbur brothers, died at the hands of the watchdog of Miskatonic University, and the other was killed by Miskatonic University. The people from Tonic University have been exiled from the earth, so Dunwich is no different from an ordinary city. However, the farm where the Wilbur brothers once lived is a bit interesting. If the player enters that area, there may be Randomly comes with a negative status - in a certain number of modules, the value of a certain attribute is temporarily reduced by one-fifth."

Shi Zixuan continued: "So some players thought that there might be something good buried in the farm, so they ran to dig three feet into the ground, and found nothing. Therefore, no one has cared about this area for a long time, and it is interesting. Yes, but so far, no player has been to that farm in the module, so it seems that there is really no plot to write about this farm... Of course, if there is a plot, it means that the Wilbur brothers may want to Appearing again.”

As soon as Shi Zixuan finished speaking, Ricky's anxious voice suddenly sounded outside the door, "Is anyone there? I have something very important to tell you!"

Liu Xing and others looked at each other, wondering what happened to Ricky.

After Liu Xing opened the door, Ricky walked in quickly and said: "I just met with other player teams and found that we all encountered a very strange thing, that is, we saw something long-lasting in the past two days. There are old acquaintances that we have never met, and these old acquaintances suddenly disappeared in the real world a long time ago, so we felt that there might be something wrong with this matter."

Hearing what Ricky said, Liu Xing and others' expressions became serious, because they had indeed encountered the same thing.

Seeing the expressions of Liu Xing and others, Ricky knew the answer, "It seems that you have also encountered the same thing. It seems that this may be the Cthulhu Run Team Game Hall targeting us, deliberately releasing these people to influence Our mentality, after all, this can no longer be said to be a story of meeting an old friend in a foreign land, but a story of meeting a ghost in a foreign land... I met my brother Cheke today. More than ten years ago, our family went for a picnic, and we were with a few We went together with our very close neighbors, but Cheke disappeared in front of everyone, and he left our sight for less than ten seconds!"

At this point, Ricky's expression became very painful, "We had just finished lunch, and Chek and I played a game of catching a baseball. I didn't know what I was thinking at the time, so I deliberately used a bigger ball. I had enough strength to throw the baseball into the grass behind Chek. As a result, Chek stopped moving after entering the grass. He didn’t respond when I called him, so I thought he was teasing me, so I thought I ran over to look for trouble with him, but I found that Cheke was missing, and then I asked others to look for him, but I never saw him again...until today."

After listening to Ricky's story, Liu Xing remembered that he had seen some similar stories before, in which someone temporarily left everyone's sight. This could last for a few minutes or a few seconds. In short, this person suddenly disappeared. He disappeared, and his whereabouts are unknown since then.

But what’s interesting is that such disappearances are common in island countries, and they are all named Shenyin.
