Real Cthulhu Running Game

"But, the problem is that these modules are... well, let's take a look first. I think even if no one else shows up, they should all be paying attention to this module now." Black Pharaoh sighed and said .

At this time, Liu Xing and others had arrived at the visitor center on Moon Island, which was a two-story long building. The signboard outside also showed the general divisions of the visitor center - the first floor was the tourist information office and a small bar. , it also comes with a game room; the second floor is a rest area for the staff, which is the staff dormitory of this resort island.

"This visitor center is not big enough."

Liu Xingyi said pointedly: "I don't know how many people will live here tonight. If there are too many people, we won't have much room to move."

David on the side was just about to speak when he saw a middle-aged man in a suit walking out of the visitor center. It seemed that he should be the staff member who just spoke on the radio.

"I'm just waiting for you."

The middle-aged man smiled and said: "I am Golin, the person in charge of the visitor center. All other tourists have arrived at the visitor center now, so I planned to go find you now, but I didn't expect you to have arrived too."

Liu Xing looked at Golin and found nothing unusual.

"Oh, we just played at the beach, so we went back to the room to change clothes."

Philip stood up and said: "Mr. Goering, can we only stay in the visitor center tonight? Isn't the villa we live in safe enough?"

Faced with Philip's question, Golin nodded and said: "Yes, the safety of the villa is worse than that of the visitor center, because we did not expect a storm of this intensity to pass through during the early stages of construction of Moon Resort Island. After all, it has recently Decades of weather data have not seen a storm of this level, so the construction specifications of the villa are not raised so high, so there may be damage to the villa; for the sake of insurance, I do not recommend that you return to your own home. Rest in your room. Of course, if you really want to go back, please use your mobile phone to record a disclaimer video."

"Can the visitor center accommodate so many people?" York then asked.

"Of course, because the storm came so suddenly, the other staff on the island happened to follow the yacht back to shore today. They originally planned to buy some supplies and then come back, but because of the storm I can’t come back; and it’s also considered the off-season for tourism on the resort island, and a group of tourists have just returned before, so apart from you, there is only one couple and the woman’s brother on the island.”

Goering said seriously: "There are a total of six rooms on the second floor. Except for the first three rooms, which are usually used by a few employees who are permanently stationed on the island, the three rooms at the back are basically idle. However, every other It will be cleaned for a while, so you can choose to stay in the last two rooms, because the other room has been booked by the couple, and the woman's brother is going to sleep in the hall on the first floor; of course, you can if you want. If you stay in the other three rooms, I will also change the bedding and pillowcases for you."

Only four NPCs?

Liu Xing was a little surprised. He didn't expect that there were only so many NPCs in this module, and there were four NPCs, but they actually belonged to two camps - employees and tourists, so he and his group only needed to choose one of the two camps. , to choose the villain in this module.

Of course, Liu Xing estimated that the Golin in front of him was the villain in this module, because the combination of the three tourist NPCs did not look like bad guys, but more importantly, there were only three staff left on the island. Mr. Goering was killed, so Liu Xing strongly suspected that Goering might not be a staff member, and the real staff might have been sent away in advance by Goering.

Anyway, Moon Island is surrounded by the sea, so if you send a few people down to "swim", no one will notice.

However, the possibility that all NPCs are enemies cannot be ruled out now.

"Then we'd better stay in the visitor center."

York said: "So without the chef, what are we going to eat tonight? We were already hungry just now."

Liu Xing looked at York in surprise. He didn't expect him to ask such a key question. It seemed that he was well prepared before entering the Cthulhu Run Game Hall.

It is no joke that the disease enters through the mouth. If the Golin in front of him really has a problem, then he is likely to tamper with the dinner.

"There are also some snacks and convenience foods in the visitor center. You can take them as you like. As for dinner, I will be responsible for it. Fortunately, the chef has already cut and packaged the ingredients before leaving, so I only need to Just put them into the pot one after another." Goering replied with a smile.

Just when York was about to ask a few questions, a strong wind suddenly blew over, making Liu Xing even unable to stand.

This physical fitness is really a bit poor.

Liu Xing looked up at the sky and found that dark clouds had reached his head.

Really. Dark clouds are coming.

"Everyone, come in quickly. I don't have time to collect some of the beach chairs and umbrellas on the beach. It would be bad if the wind blows them everywhere and hits us."

As Golin spoke, he opened the door of the visitor center. Of course, Liu Xing and others did not dare to stay outside for a long time and walked directly into the visitor center.

The visitor center is somewhat similar to a common sales department. There is an information desk at the door, and next to it is a "real estate" with the location of the building on Moon Island marked, and the corresponding number is also placed next to the villas that are already occupied. and there is a "work area" sign behind the information desk. It seems that Moon Island's kitchen should be behind this.

Then walking further inside is an entertainment area. In addition to the innermost bar, there is a billiards table with several massage chairs on both sides. There is also a room separated by a curtain in the middle, and you can vaguely see inside. There is a big TV, this should be the game room on the sign outside the door.

But what worries Liu Xing most is that there is only one staircase leading to the second floor, and this staircase can only accommodate two people walking side by side. This means that only one person can block the staircase, making it impossible for people to go up and down the stairs normally.

This is not good news.

As for the three tourists who arrived before Liu Xing and others, they were playing billiards and seemed quite happy.

"We are all in the same room today, so in order to avoid unnecessary embarrassing situations, if you have any special habits, please let us know in advance."

After locking the door, Goering said: "For example, I like watching movies. I can't fall asleep without watching two movies every night, so I might go to bed a little later. If I play the movie too loudly and disturb you, then Please just knock on the door and tell me; and the young couple opposite, Jack and Rose, have nothing to do with each other, but Rose’s brother Magell likes to drink a little, but his drinking capacity is only average, so he plans to drink today. Let’s have a few more drinks tonight, and then sleep on this sofa nearby.”

"I see. I asked him why he was sleeping in the hall."

Phillip shook his head and said, "We don't have any special habits. We usually go to bed before twelve o'clock."

"Okay, everyone, just go ahead and help yourself. I'll prepare dinner right now."

After Golin finished speaking, he walked towards the "work area", and after making some eye contact, Liu Xing and the four of them walked into the game room together.

After playing the game for a while, the secret room will be opened directly after the time has cooled down.

"Tom, do you think there is something wrong with Goering, or are Jack Rose and the others more likely to be our enemies?" David asked impatiently.

"Goering."

Liu Xing said without hesitation: "Judging from the current situation, Goering is more likely to become our enemy, because ordinary tourists must have gone through security inspections when they went to the island, and they are unlikely to carry any dangerous items, and It is unlikely that they will take action against us temporarily; as an employee of this resort island, Golin may bring some dangerous goods to the island, but I can't think of anything he would do now. Reason, so if I had to choose between the two, I would just choose Goering, but I can’t guarantee that my idea is correct.”

"So are there other possibilities?" David asked.

Liu Xing nodded and replied affirmatively: "Yes, I think there are many possibilities. For example, these four NPCs are all enemies, or they are all our own people. The real enemies may not appear until the storm starts." Appear! There is even a possibility that there are no enemies at all. This may sound a bit incredible, but there are indeed some modules that can do this kind of work. To put it simply, the Cthulhu Run game lobby can be arranged through some arrangements. The coincidence makes players mistakenly think that certain NPCs are enemies, and then gives players a chance to strike first. In this way, most players will take action in advance to protect themselves. As a result, this is considered a Cthulhu escape. The trick in the group game hall..."

"Specifically in our module, it is possible that Magur drank too much and died in an accident. As a result, because Goering arrived at the scene first, we thought he had killed Magur, and then we We killed Goering first. As a result, in the end screen of the module, we may directly open the Prison Storm series module because of intentional murder; and the Prison Storm series module is the most embarrassing in the Cthulhu Run game lobby. series of modules, because not only is the difficulty of the module high, but the income is also very low. In short, this kind of module is easy to enter but difficult to come out.”

After Liu Xing finished speaking, he looked out the door and continued: "But this visitor center is only a little big, so as long as we don't act like a human being in the Cthulhu Running Game Hall, the enemies assigned to us will not be too strong, so Everyone can rest assured that as long as we don’t let the chain slip during the battle judgment, we will basically be invincible.”

In order to let David and others have a game experience, Liu Xing deliberately said a lot of Chelulu talk. These words sounded like they were very informative, but if you look closely, you will find that Liu Xing actually said nothing useful.

But it is enough to fool new players like David.

"Then we still have to continue to observe these NPCs and then determine who is more suspicious."

Philip put down the controller and continued: "But the question now is if Golin has a problem, do we have to have dinner later? If Golin does something during dinner, then we may have to be wiped out directly. Yes."

"Yeah, let's not have dinner. Anyway, we only need to wait until six o'clock tomorrow morning to clear the module, so it's okay to be hungry for a while." David continued.

"Then shall we go to bed or not?" Philip asked again.

"It depends on the situation. If nothing noteworthy happens before going to bed, then we can actually have a good sleep, because the Cthulhu Run game lobby usually does not have plot killing at this time, so let's He died mysteriously in his sleep.”

Liu Xing said: "So in a situation like this, there will most likely be an NPC that gets into trouble first, and then we will be woken up and go to watch, and then we will judge who the enemy is based on some clues left at the scene. Of course, in that Then we can directly determine who our enemy is.”

"Oh, then we can indeed wait for work and take a nap first before getting up to continue the module."

As soon as Phillip finished speaking, he was suddenly stunned.

Liu Xing followed Phillip's gaze and saw that there seemed to be a piece of paper pressed under the host.

"This is?"

As Phillip said this, he stepped forward and took out this piece of paper, "Is this square character? Is it Chinese?"

Liu Xing raised his eyebrows and quickly looked at the piece of paper, only to see that it was indeed written in Chinese.

"You're looking at us, right? Master of the pack."

Um?

What does it mean?

Liu Xing looked confused, because this sentence looked like someone was playing JOJO memes, but the problem is that this is an unknown resort island near America, so generally no Chinese people come here specifically to travel. , so logically this piece of paper should not exist.

What's more, the term "dog pack owner" is also a relatively unique new Internet term, so it is generally not used by foreigners, so Liu Xing is even more certain that this piece of paper was definitely left by a Chinese person.

So what exactly is going on?

At this time, Philip took out his mobile phone and used the translation software to translate the sentence on the paper. Then both he and David looked confused because they didn't quite understand what this sentence meant.

"Lord of the Dogs? Is this some kind of mythical creature? And it's still looking at us. This means that the Lord of the Dogs is the villain of this module, and has been hiding somewhere in the visitor center watching us, wanting to wait. Are we going to launch a sneak attack when we are alone or when we let down our guard?"

Phillip explained forcefully: "Then we have to be careful about this dog owner!"
