Real Cthulhu Running Game

"One thing to say, these unclean things are really good at playing. Although they did not cause any harm to the possessed people, they made these people worse than death in a sense." Liu Xing said while touching his chin. : "So someone should be going to deal with these unclean things now, right?"

Yin En nodded and said with a smile: "Several psychics who have learned about this matter are preparing to conquer these unclean things, because these unclean things are obviously inferior to their own kind. They are smarter and more like a human being, so if these psychics successfully complete the subjugation, then they can get a few right-hand assistants."

"Yes, I have also heard that some people will go out of their way to conquer special beings such as ghosts, because these types of creatures... well, ghosts cannot be regarded as creatures. In short, if these things do not pass special It is almost impossible to detect them with other methods, so they are all good scouts, and the possession skill also makes these things highly malleable. However, these things have a big shortcoming, that is, they are too easy to become two or five. Damn."

"After all, we still know too little about ghosts and other existences, so the currently known contract types are not very binding on ghosts and other existences. Therefore, ghosts and other existences can easily break through the restrictions of the contract and suddenly become Erwuzi. Counterattack against his former employer; but in general, the benefits of subduing a ghost or other spiritual beings far outweigh the potential risks, and a self-aware spirit like this is usually The spiritual master can also directly reach a consensus with them. If he becomes a boss or employee, he does not need to worry about the sudden betrayal of these spirits."

"I see. It seems that we should have accepted one or two ghosts on Tanegashima before and let them serve as scouts for us." Ding Kun shook his head and said: "But having said that, is the profession of psychic reliable? If it is In the real world, I wouldn’t think it’s anything, but in this parallel world with the Cthulhu Mythos as the background, these psychics might actually bump into ghosts, so what do they rely on to deal with these spirits? A kind of mythical creature?”

At this time, Shi Zixuan said: "I know this well. I have cooperated with a psychic before, because the client of that mission wanted me to find a will. The owner of this will went there suddenly. Therefore, I did not tell my family where the will was placed, so I came to his home as a professional to analyze from a professional perspective where the will might have been placed if it was hidden at home; As a result, the client’s brother hired a psychic, and at first I thought this psychic had no real talent.”

"I have met many people who claim to be psychics before, but these guys are just like the fake Taoist priests and monks in China, they are just talkative guys who talk the same thing. They can deceive people who come to them, but if something happens, these guys will run faster than anyone else. After all, this type of liar has been around for thousands of years; but I The psychic I met that time really had something, and actually summoned the soul of the person who wrote the will back, but this person's soul had already lost its self-awareness and became muddled."

"However, this spirit still responded to some keywords, so I knew that the will was still in that house, so I quickly used the elimination method to determine the location of the will. This location is really What is so unimaginable is that if other possibilities had not been ruled out, I would not be sure that the will was there; I will not be too pretentious here. In fact, the will was written on the body of the pet dog. No, this will was written on the dog with special ink, so can you imagine the scene at that time?"

Liu Xing raised his eyebrows, thinking about the scene of a group of people shaving a dog's hair and watching it in order to confirm the contents of the will. It was a bit funny to think about it.

"After that, I specifically talked to the psychic, because I also wanted to know how the psychic controlled the spirits after summoning them, or how to deal with those spirits that were not very obedient. As a result, he told me that there are many factions of psychics, and they can perform various operations. But I finally concluded that psychics are equal to low-end versions of magicians, but they have more targets. Spells for spirit bodies, but these spells specifically for spirit bodies are actually very tricky. They are a bit similar to the well-known spells such as summoning ghouls and summoning earth-burrowing insects. They are all about killing but not burying them, so by The probability of something happening to a spiritual master is also very high.”

Shi Zixuan drank tea and continued with some doubts: "But having said that, I heard that the relationship between most psychics and Miskatonic University is not good, because there used to be several outstanding psychics. Those who are planning to join Miskatonic University and then open a major in parapsychology to recruit more disciples. After all, Miskatonic University has already opened a major in occultism, so it is normal to add another major in parapsychology. No matter how bad it is, it is normal. Theology could be placed under the occult major, but Miskatonic University simply rejected the request of these psychics.”

"This is normal. Although some spirits are more difficult to deal with, it is actually quite easy to get rid of them. And ninety-nine percent of the spirits may not be as good as a human-faced rat, so Miska It is normal for Tonic University to look down on parapsychology. It is just like a primary school student preparing to study at a university. Unless the primary school student is a genius, it is impossible for the university to admit him." Zhang Jingxu said with a smile.

"Yes, although spirits are troublesome, they are not unsolvable. Moreover, Miskatonic University has been collecting various supernatural books and related materials, so I think Miskatonic University has mastery of paranormal science. The knowledge may be more than those of the psychics combined." Liu Xing nodded.

"By the way, you should have heard a story before, that is, when a newlywed couple went on their honeymoon out of town, the wife entered the fitting room of a clothing store to change clothes, and suddenly disappeared. Then she waited until the husband found her. After several years of nothing, the husband, who had lost all hope, accidentally entered the scene of a freak show and found his wife who had lost all her limbs.”

Yin En suddenly said: "I think you all have heard of this urban legend. After all, this urban legend has been popular all over the world and has spawned many versions."

Liu Xing remembers seeing this urban legend mentioned by Yin En from street stall magazines when he was in elementary school. After all, most of the street stall magazines at that time were full of non-striking words. In order to sell, they included all kinds of attractive things. The title "Attention" was added to the cover, and the contents included urban legends and various unsolved mysteries. Therefore, Liu's father liked to buy such street stall magazines to pass the time, because as long as he did not delve into the authenticity of these contents, then These articles are quite interesting. . . Of course, Liu Xing also found these street-stall magazines very interesting at that time, and even quoted some of them in his compositions.

As for the urban legend mentioned by Yin En, Liu Xing remembered that he had seen at least three versions, but the main difference between the versions was where he went for his honeymoon - the island country, Southeast Asia and America.

"I know this urban legend, and I remember that this urban legend seems to have originated from a piece of news in France, and then the news was adapted and posted on the Internet, and then spread all over the world quickly with the help of the Internet, and then In order to make the story authentic, netizens from various places changed the couple into people from their own country, and then placed the honeymoon location in the foreign city most visited by their own people, thus extending various versions. Urban legend." Tian Qing said seriously.

"Yes, this urban legend is just a story spread by rumors in the real world. However, there are some similar modules in the Cthulhu Run game lobby. This module is actually quite special. It means that a player is killed first. The NPC is captured, and then the remaining players use the clues to rescue them. Of course, the captured players have to find ways to save themselves, or leave clues to other players. Of course, this module may also become a confrontation mode. Group, that would be more interesting." Yin En said with a smile.

“If this type of module becomes a confrontation module, it will be very difficult for the rescuing players, because the opponent can take the initiative to mislead the rescuing players, whether they eliminate clues or create false clues. Players, but the most important thing is that they can directly choose to ambush, so the rescuer is too passive." Ding Kun shook his head and said.

Yin En smiled and said seriously: "So the number of players on the catching side will be far less than the number of players on the saving side. If we are on the saving side, then the opponent may be two or three players, so the catching side The best choice for the human side is to keep running away, and delaying time will count as victory, because if you conduct an ambush on the other hand, you will probably lose everything."

"Then that's quite fair."

As soon as Liu Xing finished speaking, he saw Ricky and Zakarenfu coming over to chat with his group.

As soon as Ricky sat down, he couldn't wait to say: "You may not know that the situation in Arkham City seems to have gotten worse, because some people who have been infected have now developed serious symptoms such as shock, so Mies After closing the school, Catonic University has started sending people to find the culprit of all this.”

"What?" Ding Kun said in surprise: "Those guys are too cruel, do they want to kill people directly now?"

"That's not true, because those patients who are seriously ill are not actually life-threatening, they will just be more uncomfortable, so those guys still act very measuredly. After all, if they really want to be ruthless, then Miskatonic University will Gotta hit hard.”

Zakarev said seriously: "But my teammates heard the news that Norton is considering sending some people back to the outskirts of Arkham City to investigate, because it is useless for us to keep so many people here now. , and after negotiating the terms with the Tribal Alliance, Norton feels that bodyguards like us are dispensable, so we may be sent back to Arkham City."

Hearing this, Liu Xing frowned, "This is not good news, because we can't deal with this kind of invisible and intangible enemy, and we are likely to suffer big losses by then."

"We think so too, so we want to discuss it with you now. If you can talk to Norton, let Norton send other players back to Arkham City and keep us here. Of course, we will also We can send some people back to Arkham City." Ricky said seriously.

Liu Xing nodded and agreed: "If there is such a thing, I will try my best to find Norton for help, but I am not sure whether Norton will agree to us staying, because to be honest, if we stay, we will not care about the ruins. It doesn’t help much with the excavation work.”

Liu Xing said that, but what he was thinking in his heart was that he had Sirius' reminder, so he still had a certain understanding of the ruins of this ancient civilization. Therefore, it would not be difficult to persuade Norton to stay with his group. As for Liu Xing can only say that he can only keep one of Ricky, Zakarev and others.

But having said that, Liu Xing is still very curious about who dares to attack Arkham City. You must know that as long as it is the secret church and those mythical creature tribes on the earth, their representatives of Arkham City - —You must have some understanding of Miskatonic University, and you also know that Miskatonic University is not that easy to mess with. . . As for the players, they know how powerful Miskatonic University is. As long as there are no Old Dominators directly involved in the battle, Miskatonic University will be invincible.

So what exactly is going on here, are those people who don’t believe in evil or are open-minded enough to dare to come to Arkham City to cause trouble? And what is their reason for doing this?

I really can’t figure it out, and now I can only wait for new developments.

After getting Liu Xing's promise, Ricky breathed a sigh of relief and said: "If we are arranged to return to Arkham City, then we will definitely be upgraded to the Cthulhu area, and the situation may escalate further. Because this is worthy of us players in the Cthulhu area... But you should also know that the first module to be promoted to the Cthulhu area is a hurdle. If you get over it, everything will be easy, but this hurdle is Blocked 70% of the new Cthulhu area players!”
