Real Cthulhu Running Game

"Many people have always thought that our Miskatonic University expedition team is omnipotent. Whether it is going to the sky or the earth or diving into the deep sea, as long as we have a goal, we will send a large number of people to explore, but in fact we It is only after careful consideration and corresponding risk assessment that we make the decision to send a fully armed and prepared expedition team."

Norton sighed, shook his head and said: "But everything has surprises, especially when facing unknown ancient ruins. No matter how well prepared you are, you will encounter various emergencies that will surprise you before. Everything we do is in vain. After all, there are so many ancient civilizations, and there are all kinds of them. There are no rules to follow. At the same time, we can’t learn any lessons from other ancient civilizations, so every expedition we send out The team has already been labeled as being eliminated in advance."

"So regarding the exploration plan for Atlantis, we at Miskatonic University have prepared more than ten versions, but the plans for these plans have always been shelved. Those who have the ability to organize the expedition team have a very tacit understanding. I ignored them, because people are more or less afraid of death, and they are even more afraid of their own meaningless death... But I think there is a professor who might start an exploration project about Atlantis, Because he was cursed by an expedition many years ago, this curse will cause him to die directly two years later, so he may take advantage of his last days to conduct this seemingly life-or-death expedition. "

After hearing what Norton said, Liu Xing had already given up on the Atlantis-related modules, because the difficulty of this module seemed to be directly maxed out, and even if he and his group were in this module, it would not matter. If it falls off, it will most likely not be able to perform the resurrection module.

"Okay, I will try to communicate with the tribal alliance now, so that we can resume the exploration of the ancient ruins as soon as tomorrow." Norton stood up and said with a smile: "If nothing happens, , your entrance exam has been passed so far, I will report to the school later, if everything goes well, you will be able to become a special student of Miskatonic University tomorrow."

"Then thank you in advance, Mr. Norton." Liu Xing replied with a smile.

After leaving Norton's room, Liu Xing immediately stopped Ricky and Zacharyenv who were guarding the door. After listening to Liu Xing's story, both Ricky and Zacharyenv looked happy. After all, they could It is definitely good news to complete the admission task of Miskatonic University in advance and become a player in the Cthulhu area.

As for Atlantis, both Ricky and Zakarenv have a simple idea, which is just four words - wait and see what happens. Anyway, this module is still some time away from being completed, so there is no need to consider these issues for the time being. , because the current problem may not be a problem in the future.

After returning to his team's room, Liu Xing once again recounted his conversation with Norton, and Zhang Jingxu and others had similar ideas to Ricky and the others. They all waited for the changes brought about by time, and then formed them based on the model. Use the following information to decide whether to participate in the module.

Then, Liu Xing and others talked about the ghoul from before.

"I think that should be the Scarlet Ghoul, but he has the ability to put on a vest, but I don't understand why he didn't talk to us directly at that time? Instead, he directly talked to us when we were about to arrive at the airport. Play disappear.”

Liu Xing took his mobile phone and tried to make a call to the Scarlet Ghoul, but the result showed that the Scarlet Ghoul was turned off.

It's just weird anyway.

"Then we now have to consider another possibility, that is, this ghoul is not a bloody ghoul, so it may be sent by the mysterious man we saw before, and his purpose of doing this is to To retaliate against us, after all, in his eyes, we almost killed him, and really made him embarrassed, so in order to regain the situation, he specially arranged for a ghoul to come Cause trouble for us.”

As soon as Ding Kun finished speaking, Yin En shook his head and said: "But there is a very important issue here, and that is that this ghost country of Earthsea is really so bad that it doesn't even have a secret church. This has been confirmed by Miskatonic University Waiting for the joint certification of the forces, so if the mysterious man can mobilize ghouls, then he should be a high-level figure in a secret church... Therefore, I suspect that this mysterious man is a ghoul. It may be because of a certain It is hidden in the Kingdom of Earthsea for some reasons, because there is no secret church here in the Kingdom of Earthsea, so the possibility of it being discovered here is very low.”

"I agree with Yin En's statement." Liu Xing nodded and said: "The mysterious man has been hiding himself from the beginning to the end, and his movements are also very vigorous. The most important thing is that if he is not Zhang Shiwu's subordinate, So why did he choose to run away at that time? There is a saying that goes well - if you don’t do anything wrong, don’t be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door. At that time, we were also knocking on the door of ghosts, so if the mysterious man had not done anything wrong, then , would not choose to run away, not to mention the noise we made at that time was not big, so why did he start running away in advance? "

"Yes, Ricky and others had just gone upstairs at that time, and they were not wandering around in the corridor. So under normal circumstances, the mysterious man would not know that a group of people were searching house to house with guns." Zhang Jingxu said: "And didn't we hear the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground before? This sound should have sounded like someone jumping from upstairs to downstairs. This means that the upper and lower rooms on a certain two floors were opened. That’s right; a cunning rabbit has three burrows, he can act according to the wind, and he is also a lone ranger. No matter how you look at this person, there is something wrong with him.”

As soon as Zhang Jingxu finished speaking, Liu Xing's cell phone rang.

Liu Xing originally thought that this was the bloody ghoul calling him back, but he didn't expect that the caller turned out to be Sonoda Juri.

This is a bit embarrassing.

Although Tian Qing has also heard about Sonoda Zhuri's situation and said that he doesn't care about it, now Sonoda Zhuri has called, this is it. . .

Regardless of Liu Xing's second thought, he knew that something was wrong with this matter, because logically speaking, Yuri Sonoda should not call him at this time. After all, he was still in the module at this time, so the Cthulhu Run Game Hall would Block some unnecessary off-site communication for players.

So Sonoda Juri must have something to do with him?

Thinking of this, Liu Xing still answered the phone. . . Just to be on the safe side, Liu Xing stood up and signaled that he was going outside to answer the phone.

Fortunately, Liu Xing's acting skills were passable and no one noticed anything strange, so Liu Xing came to the balcony smoothly.

"Hey, Zhu Li, what's the matter with you?" Liu Xing asked subconsciously in a lowered voice.

"It's me, Taketori."

What surprised Liu Xing even more was that the person on the other end of the phone was Taketori.

"I finally got rid of Konohana Kaiyeji's pursuit and was able to return to the Sawada family. But when I came back, I found that you all had left." Zhu said teasingly: "But Konohanakaiyeji is still searching for me everywhere. There are no traces of me, so I can’t stay at the Sawada family for a long time, so I plan to go abroad and join you, I don’t know if you will welcome me.”

Hearing that Taketori was going to come to see his group, Liu Xing subconsciously wanted to agree, but then he suddenly realized a question, that is, is Taketori on the other end of the phone the real Taketori?

After all, it is too easy to fake something like voice.

Zhutori seemed to have guessed what Liu Xing was thinking, so he continued: "I know Liu Xing, you may be worried that if I disappear for so long, various unexpected situations will happen, causing me to become different from before. , for example, I am controlled by Konohana Kaiyeji, or I am Konohana Kaiyeji; but if I remember correctly, you should still have a few of my bamboo leaves in your hands, right? I can use these now Bamboo leaves are transmitted directly."

When Liu Xing heard Taketori mention bamboo leaves, he remembered that he did carry a bamboo leaf with him, which was the bamboo leaf he picked up at the foot of Mount Fuji. However, this bamboo leaf was not taken by Cthulhu. The running game lobby is defined as a prop, so it does not appear in the personal items column of Liu Xing's character card.

Since Zhutori said so, Liu Xing naturally chose to believe it, so a moment later, Zhutori appeared in front of Liu Xing!

Looking at Taketori who had obviously grown bigger in front of him, Liu Xing smiled and said, "Long time no see, Great Immortal Taketori."

Taketori rolled his eyes and said a little speechlessly: "Liu Xing, please don't praise me here. I was almost caught by Konohana Yeji and fed to the fish, if it weren't for that guy named Night Demon. In time, you now, no, you will never see me again from now on."

At this time, Yin En and others in the room also noticed Zhutori, and they couldn't help but exclaimed, because they did not expect that Zhutori would appear here at this time.

After saying hello one by one, Zhutori began to talk about why he suddenly left without saying goodbye without Liu Xing and others speaking.

At that time, Taketori was still thinking about whether to eat pudding later, but he suddenly felt a malice surrounding him. Taketori soon realized that the owner of this malice should be Konohana Kaiyaki.

As Liu Xing and others had guessed before, after Taketori was taken in by Konohanayeji, she thought that Konohanayeji was a very good sister, but in the end it was discovered that Konohanayeji only regarded herself as He obtained a bargaining chip to negotiate terms with Cthulhu's clone and signed a contract with unknown details.

As a result, Taketori immediately chose to escape. However, if he just ran away, it would be easy to be captured by Konohana Kaiyeji, so Taketori first found an ancient god he knew well to make a stand-in for himself. Then he used this stand-in to trick Konohana Kaiyehime, so that Konohana Kaieyeki was affected by the contract and had to sleep in Mount Fuji.

However, Konohana Kaiyeji did not forget to curse Taketori before she fell asleep, so Taketori was attacked only after leaving the earth and was almost transformed into a new Old One.

After realizing that Konohana Kaiyeji had awakened, Taketori immediately chose to pack up Xinruan and run away, because Taketori knew that Konohana Kaiyeji would 100% come to seek revenge on him, and Taketori had also noticed it. That malice is locking in his position.

After leaving the Sawada family, Taketori was originally planning to leave the island country directly. After all, Konohanayehime had been sleeping in Mount Fuji for so long, and she probably didn’t know much about everything outside, so Taketori felt that if he hid in the island country Otherwise, Konohana Kaiyeji's attempt to catch him is nothing more than wishful thinking. . . Of course, all this is based on the fact that Konohana Kaiyeji has not fully recovered her strength.

As a result, Taketori soon ran into a wall, because when Taketori was preparing to leave the island country, he discovered that Konohana Kaiyehime had used a two-way lasso on him. Simply put, Taketori could not leave Konohanakai Yehime too far away. distance, but Taketori can always know the approximate location of Konohana Kaiyeji. To put it bluntly, this is a disguised version of hide-and-seek. The person responsible for hiding can only hide in the designated area, but he can always be sure that the person caught is there. .

Of course, during the duration of the two-way lasso, if Konohanayeji does not catch Taketori, then it will be difficult for Konohanayeji to lock Taketori's position using conventional methods, so Taketori starts to The island country was hiding everywhere, and Konohana Kaiyeji also tried to catch Taketori in various ways. Fortunately, Taketori was better at chess and successfully escaped Konohanakaiyeji's pursuit. There is no need to worry for the time being. He will be captured by Konohana Kaiyeji.

Of course, Taketori had a narrow escape from death during this process. He was almost caught by Konohana Kaiyeji several times. After all, Konohana Kaiyeji was also an ancient god. Although his strength has not been fully restored yet, he still Able to use various means to track Taketori's whereabouts. . . What's more, Taketori was also in a weak state at that time, so Taketori often only noticed something strange when Konohana and Yeji were not far away, and then immediately continued running away.

In addition, Taketori also tried to hide in the Konohanakayeji cave in Mount Fuji. As a result, Konohanayehee came back once to get something, but luckily Taketori was hiding in his previous room at that time. , so the aura left behind before covered Taketori, so that Taketori was not caught in the urn, and he was able to stay in Mount Fuji for a long time, and at the same time, he successfully connected with Liu Xing. . . The most important thing is that if it weren't for Mount Fuji, Night Demon wouldn't help Taketori.
