Real Cthulhu Running Game

"This Lei is quite famous in the forum, and he is one of the few players in the Cthulhu region who is willing to post in the forum. This is commendable. After all, we are also in the Cthulhu region now. As a player, it would be nice to go to the forum and read the posts after finishing the mod, but there is no motivation to post at all.”

Zhang Jingxu touched his chin and said: "But I think this matter may not be simple, because we all know how difficult it is to be promoted to the Azathoth region, so if Lei wants to complete the promotion, he will definitely do something in the parallel world where he is. With some big news, it is unlikely that promotions will be completed quietly."

"I think Zhang Jingxu is right. Players who want to be promoted to the Azathoth region must reach the level of saving the world. This is the consensus of almost all players in the Cthulhu Run Game Hall, and Lei is not For a lone ranger, I remember that the player team he belongs to must have at least five people, so it is also unlikely that Lei can complete the promotion alone, but if this is the case, I don’t understand why Lei would do this.”

Baihecheng frowned and said: "Our forum is not like ordinary game forums. A big player online can attract a group of ordinary players to follow. After all, Cthulhu Team Games cannot always introduce new players unless new players Like these two ladies, they have an inseparable relationship with the old players, so the old players are willing to take risks to bring new players, and the new players also believe that the old players can protect themselves in the module; obviously, everyone met by chance, How could they entrust each other's lives? So it's really not good for Lei to do this. If the truth is revealed, although Lei will not suffer any substantial losses, it will be very uncomfortable if his reputation plummets. "

"So we should listen to what we hear and believe what we see. This matter is just a matter of joy. Anyway, this Lei is not in a parallel world with us, so whether he has completed his promotion or not has nothing to do with us."

Liu Xing put down his chopsticks and continued: "Is everyone eating and drinking? If we don't add food, let's discuss where to go in the afternoon? So Mr. Baihecheng?"

Baihecheng smiled and said very seriously: "If you don't mind, I can play with you."

Liu Xing really didn't expect Baihe City to be so thick-skinned, but it was similar to Baihe City in the Cthulhu Running Group game hall.

But then again, Liu Xing suddenly felt that it seemed to be a good thing for Baihe City to follow his group now, because if his group drove him away, there was no guarantee that Baihe City would secretly follow him. A group of people, so for potential threats like White River City, it is better to let him stand on the bright side.

It is easy to hide from an open gun, but difficult to guard against a hidden arrow.

As a result, Liu Xing and others finally left the hotel with Baihecheng and began to walk along the river to eat while observing whether there were any so-called Gaia worms on the street trees on both sides.

But it didn't take long for Liu Xing and others to find a monkey hanging on a tree, or a piece of monkey skin. Because the monkey was relatively small, if Liu Xing and others hadn't raised their heads intentionally, I'm afraid it would have Can't see this monkey skin.

If nothing unexpected happens, this monkey skin comes from the monkey that the monkey charmer disappeared. However, this monkey skin is very complete. Even Liu Xing and others standing under the tree cannot smell any odor. Therefore, It can be seen that the blood and flesh on this monkey skin may have been "scraped" very clean, otherwise it would definitely have a smell after so many days.

And this is consistent with the way Gaia eats.

"It seems that the Gaia worm is indeed nearby, so such a monkey can sustain the activity of the Gaia worm for several days?" Liu Xing asked.

Baihecheng thought for a while, made a gesture and said, "Two days, maybe. The high calorific value of Gaia worms also requires them to forage frequently, otherwise they will die directly if their caloric content is not enough... So this thing is here It’s quite troublesome to raise them in the real world. Not only do you need to change the water every now and then, but you also have to prepare enough food every day.”

In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Liu Xing and others did not take off the monkey skin, but continued to move forward. However, Liu Xing and others observed more carefully at this time, and found another sight not far away. Several dog and cat skins, as well as some "badminton balls" of no apparent species.

"It seems that this circle is the main habitat of the Gaia worm, because after the Gaia worm finishes hunting, it will take the prey back to its own territory so that it can eat in peace of mind. After all, although the planet they are on is a The sea, but the predators in the sea are more powerful than the last, so if creatures like Gaia, which are at the bottom of the food chain, dare to eat on the spot, they may have to become someone else's dinner."

Baihe City looked around, shook his head and said, "However, the Gaia insect also has a certain degree of intelligence, so although it regards this area as its own territory, it does not dare to wander around here during the day. After all, this is There are a lot of pedestrians nearby, so it is likely that it will go to a more secluded place to hide during the day."

"Oh, then why doesn't the Gaia insect regard that more secluded place as its home, but insists on living in this place where people come and go? Does it have to make itself uncomfortable?" Yin En asked doubtfully road.

Baihecheng shook his head and continued: "In addition to the problem of water sources, another characteristic of Gaia is phototaxis, because there are several suns near the planet, which can keep the planet in perpetual daylight, so Gaia is Although it is not necessary to stay in the light all the time, the Gaia insect will feel uncomfortable if it is in the dark, and then run around there, so if possible, the Gaia insect will stay where possible. A place of light! Ever since, the street lamp by the river has become the sun of night in the eyes of Gaia."

"That makes sense, but I suspect that in Baihe City you are using the Three-Body Problem to fool us."

Liu Xing looked at Baihe City and suddenly changed the subject: "By the way, Baihe City, I heard that a humanoid mythical creature appeared here in Longquanyi, but it seems to have escaped now, so that friend of mine, That is to say, the shadow players we know are having a headache trying to catch it, so do you have any news about that mythical creature? I remember that it just left the Cthulhu Run game lobby and appeared in the real world in the past few days."

Baihecheng was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said: "I have really heard of this mythical creature, but it is said to be an original mythical creature, but it may also be a suture monster, so I only heard a few mentions of the specific situation. , I can’t guarantee that what I said is correct; first of all, this mythical creature is about the same size as an ordinary adult, and its intelligence level should be online, but its physical characteristics are still quite obvious, so it leaves the Cthulhu Run game. The hall was wearing a set of strict clothes, so many people suspected that this mythical creature might have escaped from a certain research institute. After all, some forces who are not afraid of death will still study mythical creatures and try to do it themselves. Make mythical creatures.”

Speaking of man-made mythical creatures, Liu Xing remembered that Mikage Yi once cooperated with a mythical creature and created many flashy suture monsters. As a result, these suture monsters may not be able to fight as before.

"As for the threat of this mythical creature, it doesn't seem to be too high, because it has not attacked passers-by so far, and has been hiding in secret. The most important thing is that it left Longquanyi by stealing a car."

At this point, Baihecheng frowned, "So I heard from my friend who is a shadow player that this mythical creature is most likely an ordinary person who has been transformed into a mythical creature, and he is in his parallel world. His address is in Shu, so he wants to sneak into Rongcheng secretly and return to his family... Unfortunately, this is already another world, so he may not find out all this until he returns home. Things have changed and people have changed. Not only am I no longer a human being, but I have also come to another world."

Hearing what Baihecheng said, Liu Xing and others couldn't help but fell into silence, because if the speculation mentioned by Baihecheng was true, then this "mythical creature" would really be a tragedy. It originally thought that it had escaped. God, after all, the outside world looks the same as before, so it wants to return home without others noticing. . . As a result, when it finally knocked on the door of its home after going through many difficulties and dangers, a stranger's voice came from inside the door.

"Who are you?"

At that moment, Liu Xing could imagine that it would have doubts and maybe anger - who are you? Why is it in my home?

As a result, when it finally discovers the truth of the matter, it may be two words - despair, because not only has it become the ghost it is now, but it will also never be able to return home.

At that time, it may truly turn into a mythical creature.

At this time, Liu Xingcai was even more certain that the "person" who had a car accident and ran away wearing a motorcycle helmet was him.

"Actually, similar situations have happened before. In other words, those who escaped from the Cthulhu Game Hall are not necessarily mythical creatures. There will also be some human NPCs who escaped for unknown reasons, but these NPCs are easy to deal with. More, because most of them don’t know that they have traveled through time, so it is relatively easy to contact them. Then when they reach a deserted place, just put them down and return them to the Cthulhu Run Game Hall. ; Of course, there will also be some NPCs who are more vigilant, or they themselves are people with special identities, so these people are more troublesome to deal with, and a group of people must do it."

"Then these NPCs are quite pitiful."

Liu Xing sighed, and just when he was about to say something else, he saw something swimming in the river not far away. After a closer look, he discovered that it was a cauliflower snake.

"Cauliflower snake? Can this cauliflower snake also swim in water?"

Yin En also saw the cauliflower snake and said with some confusion: "Although most snakes can swim, they will not go into the water unless necessary, but this cauliflower snake is swimming in the middle of the river. It looks like It doesn’t look like you’re going to cross the river to the other side, does it?”

"Is it hunting fish? I remember that the cauliflower snake is a snake with a very wide diet. Basically, any small animal that can be swallowed by it will become its food. However, under normal circumstances, it is impossible for the cauliflower snake to hunt. Fish, after all, it is difficult for them to exert force in the water. As a non-venomous snake, the only way for the cauliflower snake to hunt is death coiling." Zhang Jingxu said.

As a result, as soon as Zhang Jingxu finished speaking, the cauliflower snake suddenly sank straight into the water as if it had a cramp, never to be seen rising to the surface again.

Obviously, if we rule out the possibility that this cauliflower snake died suddenly due to its own reasons, then it was attacked by other creatures.

"Gaia worm?"

Baihecheng took out a pair of glasses from his pocket, put them on and said, "It is indeed Gaia! My special thermal imaging glasses can observe creatures moving underwater. This is what I use specifically to catch Gaia." Equipment... Wait, even these broken glasses won't work. After the Gaia sank to the bottom, it merged with the mud in the river, and its body temperature was blocked by the thick mud."

Baihecheng took off his glasses and breathed a sigh of relief and said: "But this also proves that the Gaia insect is indeed here, and it has begun to hunt more difficult prey like snakes, so this means that there are already There aren't many suitable prey left, so I can catch it as long as I prepare the trap. Then Liu Xing, if you don't mind, I have to go ahead and prepare the trap now. If you also want to catch Gaia together, I don’t object to insects, and I will still only need a portion of wing powder when the time comes.”

After making eye contact, Liu Xing and others "let" Baihe City go, because Liu Xing and others felt that they did not really need the Gaia insect's wing powder, and more importantly, they did not want to fight with Baihe City. There is too much intersection.

Although White River City performed well in the real world, Liu Xing and others are still a little bit panicked because the Cthulhu Running Game Hall is too real, so Liu Xing and others cannot forget White River City. What he did in the Cthulhu Run game lobby.

After watching Baihe City leave, Liu Xing couldn't help but said: "What do you think? Did this Baihe City meet us by chance, or did he come to us specially?"

"It's best to meet by chance. If not, it means that Baihe City is already following us. We may even know about Liu Xing's family, because Liu Xing is the first among us to have contact with Baihe City."
