Real Cthulhu Running Game

Just as Liu Xing was about to say something, Mobius spoke directly: "Mythical creatures of the level of Dagon and Hydra are only a few steps away from the Old Ones. As long as they can cross that threshold, they will have a chance." They are on equal footing with Cthulhu, so their basic attributes are similar to some of the weaker Old Ones. Therefore, they have built-in resistance to some common damage, such as common swords, axes, fireballs and ice arrows. It is basically impossible to break through the defense, but the curse is different. Even the real old rulers cannot guarantee that they will not be attacked by this thing; for example, Cthulhu, who has been sleeping for who knows how many years, It is actually a sleeping curse, so I suspect that Dagon and Hydra were affected by the curse."

It seems to make sense.

Liu Xing nodded and replied: "Well, I won't go to Dreamland for the time being, but I won't go to Dreamland during this time, because I have other modules to deal with. "

"That's good. In fact, there are more dangers in the dreamland than you imagined, Liu Xing. I almost capsized in the gutter." Mobius said with lingering fear.

Liu Xing looked at Mobius with some surprise, because Mobius, as a star color, let alone other things, its various resistances are comparable to, no, should be more than most of the old rulers. After all, the lack of a physical body makes it immune to most damage, so the existence that can pose a threat to the Star Color should be at the level of Dagon no matter how bad it is.

"Liu Xing, you should know Leng Yuan, right? I entered the dreamland by taking the route of Leng Yuan. But when I just left Leng Yuan, I suddenly found that something was watching me secretly. That feeling It made me very uncomfortable, so I wanted to use my own characteristics to find trouble with this guy. When I found this guy, I found that this guy turned out to be a human, but I was sure that he was not Not a player."

Mobius said seriously: "As an NPC, although I couldn't feel the pause during the judgment, I could still vaguely detect something wrong, because I basically did what I should when dealing with NPCs. If you hit, you will definitely hit, but when you attack the player in the same situation, it feels like the hit will be avoided by the opponent in some inexplicable way, so now I think that person must be an NPC , in addition to the above reason, I also have a more important reason is that this person is really too strong."

As Mobius spoke, he controlled a pen to write and draw on the paper. After a while, he handed this somewhat abstract painting to Liu Xing.

In this painting, there is a man wearing a bamboo hat holding a sword. He looks a bit like a hero in a martial arts movie.

"I didn't see this man's face clearly because I was flying in the air at the time, so I couldn't see him when looking down from high. After all, the brim of this kind of hat is quite big. As for what he was wearing, It's a bit modern, it seems to be a set of solid-color long clothes and trousers. If it weren't for this, I would almost think that this NPC must be a martial arts master who escaped into the dreamland hundreds of thousands of years ago; but this person's attack method is quite special. Yes, I thought he would draw his sword to deal with me, but in the end he raised his hand and summoned a gust of wind, which almost blew me away."

Mobius said with a trembling tone: "To be honest, after I became the Star Color, I felt that I was almost invincible. As long as I didn't provoke those powerful old rulers, I could live forever. As a result, in that battle Only in the strong wind did I realize what it means to be close to death. At that time, I felt that my body was constantly being stretched, and the stretching force came from all directions. At that moment, I suddenly felt that being quartered by five horses was nothing more than that. In the end, if there wasn't a cold spider that wanted to attack this person, I might have been blown away."

Hearing this, Liu Xing asked very curiously: "Oh, here's the question, if Mobius is really blown away, is there any chance to get back together again? Logically speaking, it's like An incorporeal existence like you shouldn’t just die like this, right?”

"Isn't he going to die directly? I'm not sure about this. After all, I also became a monk on the way and became a Star Color. I don't know much about some of the characteristics of the Star Color, and some abilities are not very easy to use. But at the time, although I felt I might be in danger for my life, but this was just a momentary thought, because then I suddenly felt that the situation was not that bad."

Mobius paused before continuing: "Although the Star Color looks like a large area, the real core area may only be a small area. Therefore, if there is no problem in the core area, other parts will be affected by the wind." There is a chance that it can be recovered after being blown away. If it doesn't work, try to find a way to absorb a certain amount of vitality to repair itself, but this process may be very slow; but then again, the strong wind summoned by the NPC is also It's not simple. Logically speaking, if this was an ordinary wind, it would not be able to blow me away. After all, I am not a cloud, so I suspect that this strong wind may have brought some special attribute damage."

Liu Xing thought for a while, nodded and said: "Yes, I remember that Xingzhicai is a special kind of life form, or an energy body. Normal means cannot affect Xingzhicai, but Xingzhicai is also a kind of wisdom after all. Biological creatures can also exert hallucinations and mental control on targets, so it is possible to do the opposite, that is, be countered by the same means - mental power."

"Yes, the cold spider that wanted to sneak attack suddenly froze on the spot, and then fell to the ground helplessly. This is a bit like mind control, but this person's speed is really fast. It can be said that He activated his ability in an instant, and I took advantage of this moment to run away quickly, and this person stopped chasing me."

At this point, Mobius was a little strange, "Actually, there is not much material to obtain for mythical creatures like the Star Color, so I don't understand what this person wants to get from me, and a human of this level It is still too rare, and in my mind there is no one who can match the number; how should I put it, although there are many original mythical creatures in the Cthulhu Run Game Hall, and even original Old Ones, but Original human NPCs, uh, here specifically refers to these powerful human NPCs, almost do not exist. At least the NPCs I know are all characters who have appeared in the Cthulhu Mythology series of novels."

Liu Xing strongly agrees with this, because the strong human beings who have appeared in the Cthulhu Running Team game hall are basically from the original work of "Cthulhu Myth". Of course, because of the "Cthulhu Myth" The original work basically only writes some stories that happened in the West, so the strong human beings from the East all come from various mythological stories or historical figures. In short, there is almost no original strong human being.

Of course, like the druid near Miskatonic University, many of the second-tier human heroes he represents are original characters, because there are very few opportunities for such characters to appear in the original series of "Cthulhu Mythos" , after all, the protagonists are ordinary people, and what they have to face are some mythical creatures. Of course, there will also be some fanatic believers of the secret church, but these fanatic believers are just a supplement, and they can basically be compared with the protagonists. Five open.

But in the Cthulhu Run game lobby, in order to make the human side look less helpless and to make some modules look more reasonable, so many human masters were specially arranged. Of course, some The human masters are also standing opposite the players. After all, asking players to fight deep divers or ghouls every day is not an option.

"The Cthulhu Run Game Hall is not a single-player game, so in order to take care of the game experience of so many players, a certain number of special NPCs should be arranged to participate in the module. However, as more and more players advance to high-level level area, the enemies encountered by players will become more and more powerful, so the special NPCs that appear must also have corresponding strength, otherwise they will be killed, so these powerful human beings must They appear one by one, and they are also responsible for guiding the plot or selling special props."

Mobius was suddenly stunned for a while, and just when Liu Xing thought it was down, he continued: "I just suddenly thought of something, that is, there is a very special place in Chengdu in the Cthulhu Run Game Hall. NPC, he usually hangs around the generation of Wuhou Temple, and occasionally tells people’s fortunes on the roadside, but his fortune-telling is really accurate, for example, he predicts that I will become the color of the stars.”

Liu Xing became interested immediately, because even in the Cthulhu Run game lobby, most NPCs only know common mythical creatures such as ghouls. After all, ordinary people will never see mythical creatures. Creatures, or there is only one chance to see a mythical creature, and then nine out of ten people will disappear, because the result of ordinary people seeing a mythical creature is one word - send.

As for organizations that deal with mythical creatures like the Huaxia Dao Sect, most of the members only know some common mythical creatures, as well as relatively noisy existences like the earth-burrowing demon insects. Although the Star Color does not take action, Already, with one strike, not a single blade of grass can grow within a hundred miles, but few people are still aware of the existence of Star Color.

The reason is very simple. Firstly, the Star Color rarely appears on the earth. Secondly, when it first arrives on the Earth, the Star Color is still a small transparent harmless to humans and animals. When it "starts eating", it can directly affect the area. All the people there prevent them from voluntarily leaving the influence of Xingzhicai, and at the same time they will turn a blind eye to the increasingly strange scenery around them. Therefore, in many cases, they can only notice the strangeness of the local area after Xingzhicai leaves. Therefore, about There are very few records of Star Color.

Therefore, Liu Xing felt that this fortune teller who could calculate that Mobius would turn into a star color should have something.

But at this time, Liu Xing was still more curious about how Mobius turned into Star Color step by step.

At this time, Mobius also saw what Liu Xing was curious about, so he directly talked about his past.

Mobius still remembers his first encounter with mythical creatures, a week after meeting the fortune teller.

One summer a few years ago, Mobius went to Wuhou Temple with some friends from college, and then he was stopped by a fortune teller on the roadside, and this fortune teller only needed 20 yuan. It can be calculated once, so Mobius and his friends started telling fortunes with Tu Yile in mind.

It is worth mentioning that Mobius studied psychology in college, so when he was in class at school, a teacher mentioned that fortune telling also uses some psychological knowledge points, such as the most common one is observing words and emotions. , the fortune teller analyzes whether what he said is correct or not through the expression of the guest, and then decides whether to continue; then he makes some insinuations and collects enough information for analysis through some questions. However, in order to avoid the guest finding something strange, the fortune teller The chef will also mix the questions he most wants to ask with some common questions, so that the guests will unknowingly reveal some key information.

Finally, and the most important point is that the fortune teller must be able to speak, especially some wheel talk. In fact, many zodiac bloggers are now proficient in this, saying some ambiguous clichés to let people figure it out on their own.

Making up your own mind is the scariest thing.

Human memory has certain deviations, so after you hear some ambiguous words, as long as there is a certain overlap between the sentence and your memory, even if it is not completely consistent, then you will subconsciously think about it. Supplement, I think this sentence is talking about myself; and there are two reasons for this. After you choose to agree with such ambiguous words for the first time, you will believe in these words of the wheel even more in the future, and think that this fortune teller has something. Really capable. . . This can also be understood as a process of building trust.

Therefore, the teacher of Mobius said that to be a good psychological counselor, you must find a way to establish a trusting relationship with the customer as soon as possible so that he is willing to listen to you. Of course, when you have a certain reputation After that, this trusting relationship has actually been established before the customer arrives, because the profession of psychological counselor is the same as that of a fortune teller. When the customer is willing to come to you, it means that he already believes that you have this ability. .

So at that time, Mobius and others had a fun mentality and wanted to use this "half a peer" to practice in advance.
