Real Cthulhu Running Game

"Let me go, ten times ten combination locks, the number of combinations that can be arranged is an astronomical number, right? We may not be able to get it right even if we work here for a year." Yin En complained: "I don't know what we are doing. Are there any experts in cryptography in this expedition team, but even if there are, it will be difficult to crack this kind of code, right?"

Liu Xing took a look at the words on the combination lock and found that they seemed to be some strange patterns, or they might be hieroglyphics. In short, they were unlikely to represent numbers.

If it is a text password, then as long as you can decipher the specific meaning of certain words, you can then crack the password by making sentences. Of course, the password may also be irregularly garbled, but since text passwords are used, Liu Xing I think this password should be a paragraph. . . After all, this module is unlikely to last for too long, so this combination lock should not be able to block my group for too long.

At this time, Norton said: "Let's evacuate now. This password lock still needs to be handled by professionals. If we try randomly now, it will be difficult to successfully open the lock, and it may be disrupted." Hacking ideas from professionals.”

Now that Norton had said so, everyone present began to evacuate the ruins in an orderly manner, leaving only Muric in charge of handing over the next group of people.

As a true comprehensive university, Miskatonic University offers majors covering 99% of professions, so Norton quickly found a few students who had taken cryptography and asked them to try to crack the password. Of course, Norton also knew that although these students were the best among their peers, in the final analysis, they were still just talking on paper, so Norton called the school and asked them to send a few more cryptography experts to help.

Of course, Norton didn't forget those gems, so he called in a few alchemists to help. However, these alchemists were still living in seclusion in the countries of Europa, so it might take a few days to come over.

"It looks like we can have a good rest for a few days."

Ding Kun took out a tea set from his suitcase and said with a smile: "I knew that this adventure would not end so soon, so I brought a tea set to pass the time. So ladies and gentlemen, what do you think? What would you like to drink?”

"Lemon tea with rock sugar." Liu Xing said very seriously.

Ding Kun rolled his eyes at Liu Xing and ignored him.

Finally, Ding Kun made a pot of black tea, and everyone sat on the ground in a circle, as if they were out on an outing.

Of course, the same goes for other people in the expedition team. They gather together in small groups and play their own games. After all, there is really nothing to do now. However, some people are still arranged to be on guard outside the camp. After all, The details of that group of robbers haven't been revealed yet, so we don't know yet whether these robbers will make a comeback.

Half a day passed like this, and the few students who took cryptography returned without success, because it was difficult to determine what those patterns represented without a reference object. After all, these patterns looked quite special. . . In other words, there are not many similarities to today's animals and plants, as well as the sun and moon.

"It seems that those patterns depict certain things from that time, and these things seem to have disappeared long ago, so we can only guess our luck..."

During lunch time, Norton said helplessly: "It seems that we have to stay in Earthsea for a few more days this time. If you have not brought enough changes of clothes or daily necessities, you can report to Ms. Elizabeth now." , we will arrange manpower to transport these supplies as soon as possible."

At this time, Elizabeth continued: "If nothing else happens, I will report the statistical results to the school tonight. Because the capital of Earthsea is still in chaos, the supplies can only be transported from America. By then It will even be delivered by airdrop, so when you declare supplies, try not to have thin items, of course, not to mention flammable and explosive items."

"So can we apply for a pair of mahjong?" Zhang Wenbing said in a low voice: "If it doesn't work, poker can also be used."

"That's a bit much."

As soon as Zhang Jingxu finished speaking, someone loudly asked if he could airdrop a few handheld consoles. Elizabeth responded affirmatively, so Liu Xing and others also wrote mahjong on their demand list.

After lunch, Liu Xing and others took a walk around Dakeng to eat and discuss their current findings.

"Those gems should be used for defense, but the effect seems to be relatively average." Liu Xing looked at the sun in the distance and continued: "But if there is a chance, we can get a few of these gems for self-defense. A trap would be good too.”

"It's better than nothing, but I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to get these gems, right? After all, these gems will most likely be taken away by Miskatonic University. Of course, we can ask Yin Luyang to help us get a few." Zhang Jingxu nodded. said.

At this moment, Liu Xing saw several planes suddenly appearing in the distance, flying straight towards where his group was!

The visitor is evil?

Again, as a small country that is extremely poor, Earthsea has very few aircraft that can be used in the country. Especially after some chaos, there are even fewer aircraft that can take off, and These planes are currently controlled by the American soldiers who have just entered the scene, so the planes appearing in the distance now are likely to belong to those mercenaries, and of course they may also come from other forces.

However, from a probability perspective, Liu Xing felt that there was at least half a chance that these planes were causing trouble for his group.

As a result, before Liu Xing could say anything, those planes suddenly exploded!

Looking at several fireballs in the distance, Liu Xing didn't know what to say for a moment, and he still couldn't figure out what was going on?

What kind of work is this?

At this time, Zhang Jingxu and others also noticed the falling fireballs. Their expressions were exactly the same as Liu Xing's - puzzled.

"What is this? A plane?" Yin En said uncertainly.

Liu Xing nodded and said affirmatively: "Yes, what I just saw were airplanes, but before I had time to remind you, these airplanes exploded directly on the spot without any warning. It seems like these A time bomb was installed inside the plane and then detonated at the same time; judging from such a bizarre operation, I can only think of the robbers this morning, but I still can’t figure out what they wanted to do, because This whole life is really a bit abstract.”

"I think this may be a tactic to exhaust our troops. They will create explosions around our camp to tire us out, and then finally find an opportunity for a real explosion attack. But there is one thing to say, although we are prepared There are some light machine guns, but these light machine guns are quite troublesome to use against aircraft, because the effective range of light machine guns against the air is not far, so if these aircraft do not dive bomb, it will be difficult for us to shoot them down."

At this time, the camp also discovered those planes that had turned into fireballs. Although these planes had already finished playing, for the sake of safety, Norton still sounded the air defense alarm and asked everyone to return to the camp as soon as possible.

Feng Liuxing and others returned to the camp and saw Norton standing on a stage with a serious face, "Dear students, please note that the current situation has exceeded our previous evaluation. It seems that some armed force has been targeting For us, if nothing goes wrong, the two explosions that occurred today are all warnings and provocations to us; although we are also equipped with a lot of weapons, in the final analysis they are just some light weapons such as pistols, and classmates, you Although they all use guns, they probably have never experienced a real large-scale gun battle, so if a fight really breaks out, it will be difficult for you to survive from those militants."

"So for the sake of safety, we have decided to temporarily evacuate here and go to the airport to station. Of course, we will also find ways to temporarily close the entrance cave of the ruins and wait until we crack the password before making plans; if some students feel that it is better to stay at the airport If you are wasting time, you can apply to leave the expedition team and return to school to continue your college life. This will not have any impact on your files. At the same time, we will also give you the credits that should be given. After all, your departure is not yours. Of course students who stay can get more benefits.”

"As for my friends who are taking the special entrance exam, if you have no objections, just stay. If you don't want to, it's okay. You still have two chances to choose whether to take the exam." Elizabeth suddenly said: "But if you are willing, If you stay, you will get a chance to enter the secret library."

Liu Xing raised his eyebrows, he didn't expect Elizabeth to offer such a price.

At Miskatonic University, there are more libraries than majors, because each major has at least two libraries, one is fully open to the public, and the other requires specialized A semi-public library that can only be entered with a pass. . . When it comes to majors such as occultism and archeology, there will be a secret library. This kind of library can only be entered by those who have obtained relevant approvals, and each approval is only valid once on that day.

To put it simply, these secret libraries contain almost all the magic books in the Cthulhu Mythos. Of course, most of them are only manuscripts or other language versions, but this is enough for players.

More importantly, most of the people in charge of these secret libraries are real great magicians. Players can get a lot of benefits as long as they have a good relationship with them. Therefore, many players who enter the Cthulhu area will choose to stay in Mith. The reason why Catonic University is doing the mod is to increase the favorability of these great magicians.

Therefore, Liu Xing and other players all chose to stay. As for the ordinary students, one-third left. After all, most of them still cherished their lives.

After returning to the airport, the reduced expedition team was arranged to rest in the VIP room in the terminal building. However, this was said to be a VIP room, but in fact it was just that. After all, you really can't expect anything from Earthsea.

I don’t know if it was a deliberate arrangement in the Cthulhu Run game lobby. Liu Xing and other players were assigned to rest in several rooms in the row, so Ricky and Zakharenv naturally came to visit.

Because only the player team of Liu Xing and others had entered the ruins before, both Ricky and Ricky were very curious about the situation inside the ruins, so Li Hanxing gave a brief introduction.

"It seems that this relic of an ancient civilization is a lost city. If nothing unexpected happens, there should be some mechanisms that can be activated inside. We will have to be careful when we go in later." Ricky said seriously: "I Our team previously discovered an undersea ruins in Hawaii. This ruins was originally located above the sea. It may have been submerged by seawater due to site activities. However, even so, some mechanisms inside can still be triggered normally, and the effects are also There was no discount, so we almost turned it in."

What Ricky said also evoked Zakarenv's memories, "Yes, I have encountered a similar situation before. At that time, an activated mechanism sent out a rain of arrows. Fortunately, the arrows of those bows were already gone." The rust dulled it, otherwise I would have been a lifeless hedgehog."

After hearing this, Liu Xing realized that his group had never experienced a complete underground ruins.

"But the biggest problem now is that we cannot make judgments in the ruins. This is bad news for us, because we are not professionals. If we cannot make judgments freely, we may miss many clues." Kalenfu sighed and said: "And as long as the traps in these ruins are in a normal state, they are really hard to guard against, so we must be careful about the surroundings in the ruins to avoid being accidentally careful. People are gone.”

Liu Xing thought back to some adventure movies he had watched and found that if he had to face the mechanisms in them, he would most likely end up losing his life. . . As for the remaining eleven or two, they will also end up injured.

So when he officially entered the ruins later, Liu Xing felt that he still had to follow the big team honestly and absolutely couldn't run around.

But then again, Sirius said that this ancient civilization was a biological trap prepared. In addition to immobile plants, there were also many lively small animals, which would be difficult to guard against.
