Real Cthulhu Running Game

"That's right. The first hurdle that players who are promoted to the Cthulhu area encounter is the first module they encounter in the Cthulhu area, because the modules in the Cthulhu area are different from those in the previous ones. The regional modules are very different, and the Cthulhu Run game lobby is also deliberately trying to give players a start."

Zhang Jingxu looked at Ricky and said seriously: "So if you return to Arkham City now, you will most likely trigger your first module in the Cthulhu area, and this module is obviously a poke. It’s playing into your weakness, so you will most likely suffer from this module, or even be sent away directly.”

Ricky nodded and said a little helplessly: "Yes, if this really evolves into a module, Zakarenfu and I and others can really be described as helpless, because I just talked to Zakarenfu My husband reviewed the current situation and found that we have only one way to solve this incident, and that is to find the culprit of all this. However, the man behind the scenes was very careful and did not reveal any flaws at all. The most important thing is It's the spell he used - the imaginary insect swarm is originally a spell that can be called invisible. You can't find these insects that only exist in fantasy."

Liu Xing thought about it and found that when faced with such a module, his group could only wait for the Cthulhu Run Game Hall to give him clues. However, after arriving in the Cthulhu area, the modules Basically, all clues have to be obtained by the players themselves, unless it is a cutscene that has been designed in advance.

"Then it depends on whether the NPC at Miskatonic University can do their job." Ding Kun suddenly said: "If nothing else happens, the NPC at Miskatonic University should be able to find out where the hypothetical insect swarm starts, and then Through the elimination method, the candidate range of the mastermind can be roughly determined, but I think that the mastermind will most likely stay outside Arkham City, and may be next to a certain transportation line, so that he can When you are sure that you may be discovered, choose the Thirty-Six Strategies, and walking is the best strategy."

"Yes, even if the son of Yog-Sothoth wanted to enter Miskatonic University and do bad things, he would have to sneak in in the middle of the night, so the guy who released the imaginary swarm should not dare to confront Hidden Dragon and Crouching Tiger head-on. Miskatonic University, so now he only dares to use this method to swim without attacking... Wait, in this case, the reason why this guy did this is probably to delay time or divert Sight!" Liu Xing said with a frown.

"It is indeed possible, but Miskatonic University basically doesn't send many people outside Arkham City except for various expedition teams, so..."

Zakarev suddenly paused, slapped his thigh and said, "Wait a minute, I seem to remember that in a few days, Miskatonic University will be preparing to send prospective graduates out for internships, and students majoring in occult science generally will He was sent to travel to the continent of Europa, and the most critical stop was to visit the Holy See in Italy, because the Holy See would hold a magic exchange conference a week later. The purpose of this conference was to exchange knowledge between various sects in terms of magic. Of course, the most important thing is one word - name, because every spell exchange conference will hold a competition, and the winner of the competition and the organization to which he belongs will be written on the wall of fame."

"Prior to this, Miskatonic University has won many firsts, because Miskatonic University is always good at doing research, and although this magic exchange conference has practical sessions, it is just a formality. exercises, so the prospective graduates of occult science can compete with those masters on this stage. At the same time, this also makes Miskatonic University a seed player in the Spell Exchange Conference every year; so now I am doubtful. The people causing trouble in Cam City are from an organization that is about to participate in the Spell Exchange Conference, and their purpose of doing this is to prevent Miskatonic University from participating in this Spell Exchange Conference."

"Ah, is this serious? You did something like this just for a game? This caused hundreds of people to be admitted to the hospital and the entire Arkham City to fall into panic?" Yin En said in confusion.

Zakarev shook his head and said seriously: "This cannot be said, because although this magic exchange conference is said to be friendship first and competition second, its competition format is also more biased towards Miskatonic University. The theoretical school or the academic school, but the biggest feature of the Spell Exchange Conference is the generous rewards, because the first place reward is provided by all participants. For example, I know that in the last Spell Exchange Conference, the Holy See provided a The blessed Crusader armor can really make you invulnerable and immune to physical damage. Of course, the best way to deal with this kind of tin can is to use a hammer."

"I know this. I have heard of this spell exchange conference before. The prize pool accumulated every year can be used to build a medium-sized secret church. However, although this spell exchange conference allows some players to participate, the players are basically just one Spectators, sit in the audience and join in the fun." Zhang Wenbing said seriously: "I also had the opportunity to represent the Chinese Dao Sect in the Spell Exchange Conference three years ago, but I was unable to attend because of a module."

"That's really a pity. Although we players can't get any rewards in the spell exchange conference, we still have the opportunity to learn some new spells. Of course, some spells are outrageous. After all, the purpose of this spell exchange conference is There are more possibilities in studying spells, so every year 80% of the spells are adapted versions of that kind, such as mixing space spells into fireball spells, so that the fireball can suddenly fast forward or flash directly."

Zakarenv said with a smile: "However, there is only one highlight in every spell exchange conference, and that is the prophecy, which is the most metaphysical among spells. After all, even those powerful magicians do not dare to guarantee their The prophecy technique can achieve a success rate of 30%. Of course, for us players, even if it is a prophecy technique with a success rate of 1%, as long as we are lucky enough, we can achieve perfect results."

Hearing Zakarenv say this, Liu Xing and others couldn't help but look at Yin En, because Yin En's other character card can predict prophecy.

"From this point of view, it is really possible that in order to ensure that it can win the first place in this spell exchange conference, an organization has taken action against its biggest competitor - Miskatonic University in advance. It is no wonder that those Ordinary people affected by the swarm of imaginary insects, that is, they have some symptoms that seem serious, but in fact do not leave any sequelae... However, this is still a bit unethical. Not only does this use early It's a forbidden spell, and it's even used on ordinary people." Ricky shook his head and said.

Compared to Ricky, Zakarenv is a lot more relaxed, "But this is a good thing for us, because it means that our enemy is not the real enemy, so this becomes a Mod, we don’t need to worry about our own safety... Of course, even though we say this, we can’t rule out that these guys are really crazy to the extent that they will hide the truth from those who know the truth. Kill with pain."

As soon as Zakarenv finished speaking, there was a burst of thunder in the distance.

"Huh? Is it going to rain heavily?"

Liu Xing looked at the dark clouds in the distance, put his hands on his hips and said, "I thought that in places like Earthsea, except for the rainy season, it wouldn't rain a few times throughout the year."

"How is that possible? Earthsea is an island country after all, so it will definitely rain frequently in places close to the ocean."

Tian Qing shook his head and continued: "So we have to put up the tent to avoid being soaked in the rain later."

Because large dark clouds had appeared in the distance, everyone in the camp began to set up tents in a hurry, and finally set up the tents before it rained.

The tents issued by Miskatonic University are all customized products. After all, Miskatonic University’s expedition teams often go to various places to explore, so they have many requirements for tents. Therefore, tents that integrate multiple functions are naturally "weight-conscious" class".

"This tent is really big. It's big enough to accommodate all of us."

Liu Xing looked at the tent he had set up and found that the tent was more than enough to accommodate twenty people, and it was divided into several rooms. The most important thing was that the tent also came with its own generator and various small household appliances.

"So let's live together today. Master Zixuan and you girls will live in the largest compartment, and we will live in the living room and guard the door for you." Zhang Jingxu said with a smile.

Naturally, Master Zixuan and the others did not refuse, so they put their things into their "rooms". At this time, a heavy rainstorm outside had already fallen.

Listening to the crackling sound, Liu Xing said with emotion: "When I was a child, I once thought that one day I could go camping with my friends in the wild, and then live in a tent while listening to the rain at night and chatting with friends. How great would it be? It was so interesting, but I didn’t expect that the Cthulhu Run Game Hall would make my dream come true.”

"I thought about the same thing when I was a child, but I was worried about encountering some monsters while camping." Yin En said with a smile: "About this, I think the Cthulhu Running Group Game Hall can also help me realize my dream. .”

"Friend, you don't want to say this."

Zhang Jingxu shook his head and said: "I have participated in a summer camp before, and one day's activity was an outdoor picnic. At that time, I seemed to have gone to a hill not far from the city for a picnic. This hill was only about twenty meters high. The top There were originally a few families farming, but later they all moved to the city, so those wastelands became a good place for us to have picnics, and there were some wild vegetables in the fields that became our delicacies; but just when we were about to leave It suddenly started raining heavily, so we were forced to hide in an abandoned house."

"If you pay attention to the houses in the countryside over there, they are basically the structure of a three-sided courtyard, that is, three houses are formed into a concave character. Of course, these three houses are also connected to each other, with the kitchen and toilet on the left. , the living room is in the middle, and the bedroom is on the right. Although the empty house has been abandoned for many years, it is still someone else’s property after all, and there are still some furniture and other items left in it, so the teacher who took us asked us to stay in the living room. , don’t mess with other people’s things.”

"Although the daylight hours are longer in summer, the sky quickly darkened due to heavy rain, so the team teacher began to contact people to pick us up. However, the heavy rain caused a car accident, and the car that came to pick us up was blocked. We were stuck halfway, so we had to go to the kitchen to make a fire for lighting... As a result, at this time, we heard some strange noises. Well, I don't care, there were even a few wild boars running there. She was hiding from the rain outside the house, and then there was some movement.”

At this point, Zhang Jingxu laughed, "You don't know how funny the scene was at that time. Everyone was so scared that they were crowded together. They thought there were some monsters outside. It's still funny to think about it now."

"But if we encounter the same situation now, we won't find it interesting." Liu Xing also said with a smile: "After all, times have changed, and we may really encounter monsters. .”

What Liu Xing and others didn't expect was that the heavy rain lasted all afternoon and didn't stop until dinner time.

"This heavy rain will not last for three days and three nights." Liu Xing said with a headache: "If this is the case, then we will have to stay in the country of Earthsea for a few more days. Of course, if we can crack it in these two days, If it’s a password, it’s not a waste of time.”

"Yes, but living in a tent on this rainy day has a different flavor."

Yin En took out a deck of cards and said, "So let's play Texas Hold'em now, and the loser will be responsible for getting dinner?"

Although the expedition team prepared a lot of tents, they did not prepare many raincoats and umbrellas, so now the people in each tent can only go to the "canteen tent" to get today's dinner, and it is inevitable that they will be soaked in the rain.

"Okay, today I will let you know how powerful I am, Liu Daozai."

The confident Liu Xing was quickly defeated and went to get dinner with Yin En, the initiator of all this. Naturally, he ended up in the "canteen tent" wet.

Just when Liu Xing and Liu Xing were preparing to go back with their lunch boxes, they were suddenly stopped by Norton.
