Real Cthulhu Running Game

"By the way, none of you have been back to the Cthulhu Run game lobby recently, right? So you may not know that there is a big news in our parallel world, that is, the eruption of Mount Tanga."

Baihecheng suddenly said: "Although Tanga Volcano is not as famous as Mount Fuji or Yellowstone Volcano, it is also one of the most powerful volcanoes in the world, so its eruption directly caused a nearby island to disappear. And the entire Tanga has been completely lost.”

"Tanga volcano erupted? I remember that the main part of the volcano was underwater?"

Yin En said in surprise: "I traveled to Tanga three years ago. I went to see Tanga Volcano at that time, and I heard from the tour guide that the current situation of Tanga Volcano is relatively stable, as long as there is no big problem. geological activity, then Tanga volcano will not erupt."

Baihecheng nodded and said seriously: "Yes, the sudden eruption of Tanga Volcano is indeed problematic, because according to the information I got, there are no signs of the Tanga Volcano eruption this time, so the monitoring of all parties is No news of the imminent eruption of Tanga Volcano was captured, so no one on the island where Tanga Volcano was located had time to evacuate... The only good thing is that the eruption was like a big explosion, so those on the island It will be more peaceful to leave.”

Hearing what Baihecheng said, Liu Xing couldn't help but sigh, "Yes, if it were like the situation at Pompeii volcano, I don't know how desperate those people would be, so sometimes they can suddenly and unknowingly Death is also a good thing... But from the looks of it, the eruption of Mount Tanga might be man-made?"

"That's right!"

Baihe City nodded and said: "Now I am sure that the eruption of Tanga Volcano was deliberately caused by someone, but I still don't understand why this person, or why this force would do this? You must know that people like Tanga have always done this. The Pacific island countries are not very transparent in the Cthulhu Run game lobby. After all, apart from the better natural scenery, these island countries have nothing worth mentioning, and their population is also very small. For example, Tanga has a total of 100,000 The population of about 100,000 people can’t even compare with a small county in China, so those secret churches don’t really like to go to these island countries to develop.”

"Yes, although a powerful secret church going to a small country like Tanga can be called a dimensionality reduction blow. It won't take long to turn Tanga into its own territory, but what can this do? What does Tanga want? It’s nothing, you can’t increase your influence by attracting tourists...” Yin En said, rubbing his head: “So these people just want to hear a noise? Then the noise is indeed quite loud, the whole The world can hear it.”

Liu Xing thought for a while and said doubtfully: "Yes, I think this is quite strange. Even if Tanga volcano erupts, it will only affect some nearby island countries, and the overall influence will be very limited. However, the volcanic ash brought by the volcanic eruption can affect the weather in recent years, such as there being no summer and colder winters."

"Liu Xing, when you said that, I remembered that I had read a novel before. It said that several large volcanoes erupted at the same time, and the volcanic ash caused the earth to enter a decades-long period like the "Ice Vapor Age". In the eternal winter, humans have to live underground, after all, the temperature on the ground is too low, and it is not suitable for heat preservation."

Zhang Jingxu frowned and continued: "So do you think there is a possibility that a certain secret church is preparing to ignite those large active volcanoes one by one, so that the parallel world we live in will also enter eternal winter? At that time, certain mythical creatures and Old Ones can become the rulers of the surface, such as Cold Spider and Itakua."

"Ah, that's too...well, it is indeed possible, because Itaqua is still very popular in the Arctic Circle, and some people think that the reason why Itacua has always been The Arctic Circle activities are due to the fact that it cannot live in a relatively high temperature environment, so some fanatic believers are like Melezong riding in a convertible - they are so imaginative that if they want to turn the entire earth into the North Pole, they will detonate those active volcanoes. It is indeed the most reliable way, of course they can also summon a few large meteorites to hit the earth with a few big craters like the dinosaurs did back then."

Baihecheng ate the food and said: "Compared to Mount Fuji and Yellowstone Volcano, the management of Tanga Volcano is definitely worse, so it is much more convenient and easier for those who want to do things in Tanga Volcano, so they Maybe they came here to practice with Tanga Volcano, and then they can accumulate enough experience before looking for trouble with Yellowstone Volcano; so I feel that these little-known little secret churches really don’t practice martial arts, and they will give you a thumbs up if they don’t agree with you. It's a big news, and it's not easy for you to find and investigate them, because these secret churches are basically built around a small circle, so it's difficult for you to investigate this secret church, but as long as you find a clue, you can Follow the clues and uproot them directly."

"But even though I now feel that there may be a secret church related to Itacuya that is causing trouble, I also heard a rumor that there may be an ancient city over there in Tanga, so Tanga The sudden eruption of the volcano may also be related to the Ancient One, because before retreating to the deep sea, the Ancient One once tried to threaten the Deep Ones with a terrifying earth-shattering device. It is said that this device can turn America into a five-dimensional creature in a physical sense. More than ten yuan, so some people suspect that the ancients found this device out of nowhere, and then tried to use this device to announce their return; you may have also heard that there is a parallel world where the return of the ancients is staged. , they regained control of the Shoggoths and returned to land, and finally, together with the Deep Divers, controlled most of the world's coastlines."

"I've heard of this."

Ding Kun said with a smile: "This is also the most dramatic parallel world selected by the forum, because no one thought that the ancient one would have a chance to return to the land, and he also defeated the deep diver very powerfully, forcing the deep diver to have no choice but to return to the land." Without giving up some territory to them, the most important thing is that the second generation of Shoggoths under the control of the Ancient One are also really powerful. They can simulate the attack methods of many mythical creatures. In addition to being unable to use the unique spells of those mythical creatures, Other aspects can be described as almost identical.”

"However, the ancients in our parallel world are quite peaceful. There has never been any trouble, so the speculations about the ancients are just speculations. There is no substantive evidence, so we don't need to I am too worried that the Ancient Ones will cause trouble, and compared to other mythical creatures, the Ancient Ones are only moderately hostile to us humans, and their main goal is actually to directly ascend into the universe and return to their hometown."

Baihecheng put down his chopsticks and said: "I asked the Mother of Stars before leaving the last module. She mentioned that the main family of the Ancient Ones is living a good life in the universe, and it seems that they are planning to cooperate with the Yis people recently. , may be planning to target Mi. Ge together, because the artificial old ruler created by the Mi. Ge family seems to have made new progress. The current completion rate may be around 60%, which seems to be far away, but Every step forward is not easy. After all, this is creating the Old Ones. If Mi.G succeeds, then the Mi.Go family may become one of the most powerful mythical creatures. By then, the universe The Ancient One and the Yithians will be in bad luck, because they are enemies in the same industry, and why are the three of them taking the technological route?"

Liu Xing felt that what Baihe City said made sense. As the three most famous technological mythological creatures in the Cthulhu mythology, the Yis, Mi.G and the Ancient One all have their main development directions in the universe. Therefore, they are prone to conflict, but the checks and balances between the three are still very stable, so there has not been a large-scale conflict yet.

However, the current problem is that the Old Dominators created by the Mi.Go clan have achieved new breakthroughs, so no one knows whether the Mi.Go clan will continue to be lucky and suddenly come up with an Old Dominator as a weapon. The patron saint of his own clan, you must know that the Old Ones are a dimension-reducing blow to mythical creatures, and the Yithians and the Ancients happen to not be protected by the Old Ones.

"So some people suspect that the ancient ones on the earth received the signal from their hometown, and prepared to leave the earth with all their strength. Then they devised some special ways of ascension, such as using the propulsion of volcanic eruptions as energy to propel the spacecraft. Send it to heaven.”

Baihe City said serious nonsense, "You must know that the reason why the Ancient Ones can retreat to the deep sea and avoid further attacks by the deep divers is because the protective shield they built for the underwater city is very powerful. Ordinary attacks will not break the defense at all." , so in theory, the Ancient Ones can use this protective shield to turn into a protective ball, and then use the volcanic eruption to send themselves into space, but how they navigate back to their hometown is more troublesome."

"Is it possible that the deep divers are causing trouble? I remember that the deep divers also have a lot of territory in that area, right? So is it possible that the deep divers caused the eruption of the Tanga volcano for some purpose? Zhang Wenbing asked curiously.

Baihecheng smiled, shook his head and said: "This should be the most impossible possibility, because the deep divers are the least likely mythical creatures to cause the eruption of Tanga Volcano! As you said, the deep divers are Tanga Volcano does have a lot of territory, and even several important cities are nearby, so I can be sure that the eruption of Tanga Volcano will also cause heavy losses to the deep divers. After all, the underwater volcanic eruption caused The shock wave cannot be underestimated.”

"So the question is, just the eruption of the Tanga volcano has caused so much trouble, so what will happen if the Yellowstone volcano erupts? In the previous Battle of Kōwu, although Mount Fuji only erupted briefly, it soon The night demon that suddenly appeared has been controlled, but is there such a possibility that the parallel world we live in will soon enter a period of frequent geological activities. By then, whether it is a volcanic eruption or Earthquakes will become more frequent, and when we are building mods, we players must not only be careful of mythical creatures and secret churches, but also be wary of geological disasters that may appear at any time.”

Liu Xing said this because he remembered the Earth Dragon Village module he had participated in a long time ago, and the sudden earthquakes he had encountered in many subsequent modules, such as the one he encountered in the previous Earthsea module. There have been several earthquakes, not to mention here in the island country, where earthquakes of various sizes occur every now and then.

Before this, Liu Xing didn't care about this, because as a Shu native, Liu Xing had experienced countless earthquakes in the real world.

But now, Liu Xing suddenly began to suspect that the Cthulhu Run Game Hall was preparing to debuff a "geological disaster" in that parallel world, so that the endless variety of geological disasters would bring a certain degree of uncertainty to the module.

Of course, there must be some force or some mythical creatures behind all of this. The most likely ones are naturally the earth-burrowing demon insects and their old ruler-Shudemel. Activities can easily cause earthquakes, let alone if they are intentional.

It's just that Shudemeier can be regarded as a Buddhist-type old ruler. Although it has long been free and can move freely on the earth, it will not run around under normal circumstances.

"By the way, Baihe City, how did you get involved with Mo Jin? I heard that Liu Xing had participated in a module with Mo Jin before, but Mo Jin didn't seem to have changed his character card at that time."

Yin En's question made Baihe City stunned. After a while, he said: "Mo Jin and I met in a module. We were planning to go to a fishing village controlled by deep divers to find someone, and then Mo Jin Jin was solved by the Deep Diver, but he possessed a Deep Diver hybrid through a special character card, while I faked death and escaped from the beginning and acted alone, so this module finally Only Mo Jin and I cleared the level; unexpectedly, in the next module, Mo Jin and I were still assigned to the same module, so we started to use each other until now."

"Currently Mojin is planning to go to R'lyeh because he heard that R'lyeh is currently preparing to rebuild and make R'lyeh the capital of the deep diver clan again, and take this opportunity to integrate the tribes in that area, so Mo Jin just wants to go over and see if there is any chance to pick up the leak, or to turn himself into a deep diver completely."
