Real Cthulhu Running Game

Slipping away.

When Liu Xing saw Liu's mother looking unhappy, he immediately took Song He and fled away.

As one of the Chinese provinces with the largest number of mahjong players, Shu’s mahjong is still easy to learn, because compared to mahjong in most other places, Shu’s mahjong does not have wind tiles and character tiles, and of course there are no flower tiles. Therefore, it will be relatively simple to only use three kinds of tiles in the tube. In addition, one must be missing (you can only have two kinds of tiles in your hand). It will be much easier to get Hu tiles in Shu Mahjong. In addition, Shu In most areas of the country, bloody battles are popular, that is, the rule that at most three families can be killed in one round, it also allows you to recover some losses from the remaining two families after firing one family's guns, or even turn defeat into victory.

Therefore, Shudi Mahjong is more entertaining than mahjong in other places. Luck is more important than skill, so it is also very friendly to beginners. . . Therefore, Liu Xing and Song He, who were in high school, quickly learned how to play Shudi Mahjong.

In addition, at that time, there was a friend of a friend whose name Liu Xing had forgotten. His uncle happened to open a large teahouse (almost all teahouses in Shu had the function of chess and card rooms), so Liu Xing and others went there to play. If so, there will be discounts, and as students, Liu Xing and others can only play mahjong for 50 cents a point. At the same time, the final winner also has to pay for the cards, so they often play for an entire afternoon, and the winning or losing is all left to the boss.

"That teahouse needs to be renovated recently, so it's quite appropriate to go there to talk about things today."

Because of the previous car slipping incident and the fact that Song He was now a big anchor, he had already bought a new car.

"By the way, Liu Xing, what do you think of my car? This was the first prize I won when I participated in a "Martial Arts Dream" competition. It was precisely because of this competition that I became the top anchor today. "

Song He said with a smile on his face: "This is really a fickle thing. Originally, I was just an ordinary little anchor who could neither starve to death nor get rich. In the end, I reached the pinnacle of my life because of this new game."

Liu Xing nodded and tried to ask: "Then I think you have to find another place to live, Song He. Although the security measures in our community are pretty good, because it is next to the Trade City, the owners in the community move around. Sex is very strong, and there are hundreds of households in this entire community. If your crazy fan knows your address in the future, it will not be easy for her to sneak in! Not to mention that the building you live in has no elevators or lights. , what should you do if this crazy fan is squatting in the stairwell?"

"No way." Song He said hesitantly: "I'm just a game anchor. I shouldn't have such crazy fans, right? But this is indeed a problem, so I'm already looking at the house with Amin. At present I’m planning to buy a house in the city center with a good school district.”

Hearing Song He's answer, Liu Xing knew that Song He had forgotten his "girlfriend", and he didn't know that the Cthulhu Run Game Hall had recycled that "girlfriend" after the end of the module. , or what Turings and his men did.

"By the way Liu Xing, when I pick you up at the station later, you can go to the teahouse and book a private room first. You can also turn on the mahjong machine first, because my father-in-law and mother-in-law also like to play mahjong, so I'll wait a minute. We can chat while playing. As for the money you win, you will naturally keep it directly. If you lose, I will replenish it to you later." Song He said suddenly.

Liu Xing thought for a moment and nodded in agreement. Of course, Liu Xing had very little money left because he had not been in the real world all year round. However, Liu Xing still saved a large amount in the Cthulhu Running Group Game Hall. Points can now be redeemed for millions without any problem.

Of course, Liu Xing didn't think that such a card game could win or lose millions.

And Liu Xing also has a kind of crazy confidence in his poker skills.

After parking the car, Liu Xing went directly to the teahouse. Although many years had passed, the owner of the teahouse still knew Liu Xing, an old customer.

"Isn't this Xiao Liu? You haven't come to take care of my uncle's business for many years. Why are you here playing mahjong so early today?" the boss asked with a smile.

Liu Xing shrugged and replied with a smile: "Uncle, do you still remember Song He? He wants to meet his father-in-law and mother-in-law today to discuss the specific matters of getting married next week, so he chose to play mahjong and chat at your uncle's place nearby. matter."

"So that's it. Then you can sit in the best private room inside. I'll add a fruit plate to you when I serve you tea later."

The boss took out a bunch of keys from his pocket and continued: "I thought no one would come to play mahjong this early in the morning, so the doors to the private rooms haven't been opened yet. Xiao Liu, just open it yourself and get the key." The name of the private room is posted on it.”

Liu Xing took the key and said with some doubts: "This is the first time I know that the private room door of a teahouse is locked with a key. Is there anyone interested in those mahjong machines? I remember that a mahjong machine is only one It costs more than a thousand yuan to move so many mahjong machines quietly, right? And uncle, your place has been replaced with central air conditioning, so there is less risk of the air conditioning being stolen. "

"That's true, but there are people who will steal mahjong machines when they have nothing to do, and they only steal the core part of the mahjong machine. We can't replace this part even if we want to, we can only buy new ones, so for To be on the safe side, I changed the locks on all the private room doors; and Xiao Liu, you should also know that in a place like the station, there is a mix of dragons and snakes, with everyone coming and going, so there will be some people there every now and then. We do some weird things in the private room, so having such a key will be more convenient."

Liu Xing nodded, then took the key and opened the best private room in the teahouse. There was a sofa and a TV next to a mahjong machine, but the private room was also decorated with vases and paintings.

When Liu Xing went to return the key, the boss suddenly stopped Liu Xing, "By the way, Xiao Liu, have you seen or heard anything about He Rong recently?"

He Rong is the friend of Liu Xing's forgotten friend and the nephew of the teahouse owner.

"Well, I haven't contacted He Rong for a long time because I was interning in the hospital after graduating from university, so I was so busy that I didn't have time to contact anyone; but I remember that He Rong didn't go to Suzhou and Hangzhou. Are you in college? And it seems that he is still in graduate school?" Liu Xing said.

The boss sighed, shook his head and said: "He Rong seems to have disappeared... He was indeed studying in Suzhou and Hangzhou before, but suddenly one day he lost contact with his family. Later we investigated and found out... It was discovered that He Rong returned to Chengdu after losing contact, and then disappeared. Now it has been nearly half a year, so his parents are very anxious now, but they still have no clues at all. "

When he heard that He Rong was missing, Liu Xing's first reaction was that He Rong had also become a player in the Cthulhu Runner game lobby. But after thinking about it carefully, he felt that something was wrong with the situation, because logically He Rong had become a Cthulhu Runner. If a player in the group game lobby passes the novice module test, then he should go home to see his parents and do something with the points on hand, rather than just disappearing from the game.

So He Rong may have encountered something else.

"Later, we had some contact with the school and found that a senior who had a good relationship with He Rong also disappeared at almost the same time. However, this senior was found to be connected to a very mysterious organization, but the specific situation of this organization is still A mystery, because this organization usually communicates through letters." The boss sighed again and continued: "So now we suspect that He Rong is involved, so I suspect that He Rong is no longer here... But He Rong's parents haven't given up yet, so Xiao Liu, if you find out about He Rong's whereabouts, please contact me in time, and He Rong's parents will definitely thank you."

Liu Xing nodded and said: "Of course, He Rong is a good friend of mine. If I have any clues, I will inform you as soon as possible."

Although he said that, when Liu Xing heard the word "mysterious organization", he felt that although He Rong did not become a player in the Cthulhu Run game lobby, he was "lucky" to become an NPC.

Compared with players who still have a certain degree of autonomy, NPCs are basically puppets in the Cthulhu Run game lobby. They must act according to the arrangements of the module. As for whether they can escape unscathed, it depends on the players. His face changed.

Moreover, if some NPCs establish contact with players, they may be involved in other modules. Of course, there are also some NPCs who regain their freedom after experiencing a module, but they are still in this module. Some experiences in the group will have an irreversible impact on them.

Although there are very few clues currently known, Liu Xing strongly suspects that He Rong was involved in a certain module, but his role was relatively marginalized, so he regained his freedom after the module ended; but He Rong He had not forgotten the things he encountered in the module, such as a terrifying mythical creature, so he was worried that he would be targeted by this mythical creature, so he chose to escape. At the same time, in order to avoid injuring his parents, He Rong naturally did not dare to see his parents again.

So from the perspective of a bystander, Liu Xing felt that He Rong was competing with the air, but if he put himself in He Rong's shoes, this was the best choice he had to make.

In the final analysis, the blame for all this has to be shouldered by the Cthulhu Run Team Game Hall.

At this moment, Song He also walked into the teahouse with three people.

As Liu Xing expected, Amin himself had no impression of Song Hekou.

After entering the private room and sitting down, Song He suggested that everyone chat while playing mahjong, and Amin's parents naturally agreed. As for Amin, he sat next to Song He and watched the fun.

Everything looks fine.

Liu Xing secretly observed Amin and her parents and found nothing strange, but this was normal. After all, Songhe was not completely controlled by Turings now, so if the three of Amin had If there is any problem, Song He will also find that something is wrong.

In this way, Liu Xing played with a qualified card partner. After playing for more than an hour, the winning and losing basically remained within a small range.

As for the son-in-law Song He, he must be the biggest loser at the poker table.

Of course, playing mahjong is a game of mahjong, and Song He did not forget the main topic. He and Amin quickly determined most of the details of the wedding. However, there was a seemingly small problem that arose, that is, whether the wedding should be held. Dinner.

Generally speaking, weddings must be responsible for the lunch and dinner of the guests. However, because some guests live far away, the number of guests at dinner is usually only about half of that at noon.

But after so many years of wedding banquets, Liu Xing had never seen a newlywed family refuse to entertain guests for dinner, and of course Song He was the same.

So Song He didn't understand why Amin and the others didn't want to hold a dinner party, and Amin and the others didn't give a positive answer to this, and they kept talking about him.

In the end, Song He could only agree to the proposal of Amin and the others.

After solving this problem, it was easy to reach a consensus on other matters. However, what surprised Liu Xing was that Amin and the others did not stay for lunch because they needed to go back to their hometown to send out invitations and send Song He's The name is entered into the family tree.

So Liu Xing and Song He could only go to the station to see Amin and the others off, and then drive home.

In the car, Song He said helplessly: "I'm sorry, I didn't know that Amin and the others were going back to their hometown, so Liu Xing made your trip in vain and didn't even have lunch."

Liu Xing shook his head and said with a smile: "Our relationship is not just about a meal, but Song He, why don't you go with us to Amin's hometown?"

"That's because there is a rule in Amin's hometown that the son-in-law cannot go back before getting married. On the first day after the wedding, the son-in-law needs to go back to attend a small dinner, and the participants are all direct relatives of the woman's family. This means that you are one of our own."

Song He thought for a while and continued: "Although there is no way to hold this dinner, it is impossible for us not to leave those guests for dinner, right? So I plan to book a few tables elsewhere, and Liu Xing will come back to you If you can really come to be my best man, then please help me tell the guests and let them find another place to eat at night."

Liu Xing nodded and said: "No problem, but I'm not sure whether I can catch up with your wedding now, so Song He, you have to prepare a plan B and find someone else to take charge of this matter."

Song He smiled and said, "Actually, I have already found a few groomsmen. If you can't come, Liu Xing, I will have to leave this matter to He Ronglai."
