Real Cthulhu Running Game

"Actually, it's not difficult to enter the dreamland in one second. You just need to find a prop that allows you to enter the dreamland directly. Of course, if you follow the normal process, you also need to match the brain waves with the dreamland. After reaching the Only when the frequency is the same can you enter the dream state, and this process usually ranges from twenty seconds to five minutes, so this is actually the time it takes for you to enter deep sleep, because only when you are in deep sleep can you fully concentrate. Relax, so that the dreamland can take you there."

The bloody ghoul analyzed seriously: "So the dreamland is quite reasonable, and under normal circumstances, you will not be harmed when entering and exiting the dreamland. Of course, you will not be injured by other creatures in the dreamland. The dreamland is under consideration; therefore, if you want to enter the dreamland in one second, then you have to make the dreamland not so rigid and wait until you enter deep sleep before starting to take you into it."

"Uh, isn't this just a bug? It's like a game that originally required you to enter your account and password to confirm your identity, but you just need to press OK to enter?" Li Mengyao said in surprise.

"Well, your understanding is completely correct, because it is indeed true. Dreamland seems to be a game, and falling asleep and passing through the door of Dreamland are two different login methods. The former requires some verification. Only then can you enter the game, and the latter is a bit like the one-click login function of some games. As long as the player authorizes it, you can directly enter the game; in this way, if you combine these two login methods, then you can do it. Did you enter the dreamland in a second? This will be much more convenient and faster."

The words of the bloody ghoul once again made Zhang Jingxu and his party fall into silence, because they, like Liu Xing floating in the sky, had never considered this way of entering the dreamland.

Looking at Liu Xing who looked puzzled, Ao Guanhai explained with a smile: "To put it bluntly, this is a bug. Although the door of the dreamland cannot be moved and cannot be destroyed, you can simulate the dreamland. Some properties of the door, and then use special materials to make a tattoo of the dream door on your body; let’s continue the analogy with the game login method just mentioned by the bloody ghoul. Originally, the two things he mentioned The two login methods are in a parallel state, and there is no substantial connection between the two. However, the tattoo of the door to the dreamland forcibly merges the two login methods together, so when entering the dreamland through falling asleep, it will trigger The effect of the dreamland door - directly enter the dreamland."

"I understand. To put it bluntly, it is to make entering a dream as easy as passing through the door of the dreamland... But then again, can this NPC be so buggy?" Liu Xing continued to ask.

"Well, how should I put it? In fact, this cannot be regarded as a card bug in the true sense, because these NPCs do not use system loopholes to steal your character's account like that Tener, so this should be more precise. A group of NPCs inadvertently combined two pieces of code. This is an acceptable accident in the Cthulhu Run game lobby. We will not directly intervene, not to mention that it will not have much impact on the players. "

Ao Guanhai folded his hands and said: "This is quite interesting in my opinion. After all, the program code of the Cthulhu Run Game Hall is not perfect. Various bugs may occasionally appear, such as in a certain area. Suddenly disappeared, and then was stacked in other places, or like the special space with several castles that Liu Xing you visited before, it was actually caused by a bug; because we can't directly Returning those castles to their original areas would involve a lot of NPCs and game data, so we simply turned these castles into a special space and used them as additional special modules."

I see.

Liu Xing touched the back of his head. He didn't expect that the previous castle module turned out to be like this.

"Although the Cthulhu Running Game Hall is essentially a special space, it is because of the blessing of our body that this special space appears so large and orderly. However, due to various reasons, Bugs occur, especially after you players appear on the scene, because the way players act often exceeds our expectations; of course, because our Cthulhu Run game lobby gives NPCs sufficient free space, so NPCs sometimes He will also make some very special moves, such as using game mechanics to create new spells. For example, there is a spell that is said to be able to expel the cast object to another dimension, but in fact it moves the cast object. But Cthulhu runs the team In the recycling bin in the game lobby.”

Ao Guanhai sighed and said with a wry smile: "To be honest, my brothers and sisters and I wanted to transform the Cthulhu Running Group game hall a long time ago, because the bottom floor of the Cthulhu Running Group game hall The architecture really draws on your human programming methods, so bugs are inevitable; and our idea is to completely realize the Cthulhu Run game lobby, that is, to make the Cthulhu Run game The lobby becomes a new world, so there will be no more bugs. However, doing so will make the Cthulhu Run game lobby a bit rigid, and the operations that players can complete will be greatly reduced, such as Judgment will become history.”

Liu Xing raised his eyebrows and couldn't help complaining: "The Cthulhu Run game cannot be without judgment, just like the 3D area cannot be without tifa."

"Liu Xing, you are right to say that, but it always makes me feel a little weird." Ao Guanhai said with a smile.

At this time, the bloody ghoul had already explained to Zhang Jingxu and others how he did it.

"You also know that the Dreamland Gate is actually a teleportation point disguised as a door. It is actually a pure energy body. Therefore, we can copy an ultra-low-end version of the Dreamland Gate. Here we can turn it into An accessory, a bracelet, a ring, whatever you like. Of course, it can also be made into a tattoo like me. In short, although this ultra-low-end version of the Dream Door cannot allow you to directly enter the dream world, it can allow you to sleep while sleeping. It’s as if you have passed through the door of the dreamland, so you can enter the dreamland in one second like I said.”

The bloody ghoul suddenly froze when he said this, and then said a little depressed: "Oh, originally I put the tattoo on my back, but today I was caught by the group of ghouls, and the tattoo on my back The tattoo is considered destroyed. You must know that this tattoo not only requires a lot of materials, but these materials are not cheap at all. After all, it is not easy to simulate the door of fantasy; and this kind of tattoo is not suitable for It is also a huge challenge for tattoo artists, because it is similar to defusing a bomb. As long as there is a slight mistake, all previous efforts may be wasted, and the semi-finished tattoo containing huge energy may explode, so let me do it again. If I want to take a gamble, I have to be mentally prepared for a few days."

"I see, this is a combination of the two login methods, which can be regarded as taking the best of them and eliminating the dross..."

Before Yin En finished speaking, the bloody ghoul interrupted directly: "No, no, no, you can't say that. Although this tattoo can make me enter the dreamland in one second, it is ultimately through a very special method. Entering the dreamland in the normal way will cause you to have various side effects during the period when you first enter the dreamland. In short, it feels like you are racing after a hangover, and it is the kind of infinite drift! Even for me Such a mythical creature would also feel overwhelmed because it is so uncomfortable, so if it wasn't to save my life, I would never use this move."

Having said this, the bloody ghoul thought of another thing, "But having said that, you also know that there is actually a third way to enter the dreamland, which is to find the real entrance to the dreamland in the real world, but this The place is really hard to find, and we now know that it is on a certain plateau; so those who can enter the dreamland through this method can enter the dreamland more conveniently through the other two methods, and it is not You need to worry about encountering the terrifying Old Ones at the interface between the dreamland and the real world! So this third way of entering the dreamland is something that almost no one will use.”

"But I have to say, this third way of entering the dreamland actually has another advantage, that is, it allows you to gain recognition from the dreamland. It will be easier to enter the dreamland through other ways in the future. You know The Gate of Dreamland does not transport people to the Dreamland one by one in sequence. Instead, everyone turns into a car and enters the Dreamland through a road. Therefore, everyone's speed is different, but in general He said that because the difference in speed between everyone is not big, from our perspective, they pass one by one in order."

"But if you enter the dreamland through the third way, you will be recognized by the dreamland. In this way, if you go through the door of the dreamland in the future, you will actually be able to complete the transmission one or two seconds faster than ordinary people. That is to say, you can be the last to arrive first! So don’t underestimate the gap of one or two seconds. This is enough for your enemies to get ready in the dreamland and give you who have just crossed over a head-on attack! Therefore, you must You have to be careful, don’t chase the enemy into the dreamland without any trouble.”

"You can rest assured on this. We are not so impulsive as to chase the enemy into the Dreamland, because no one knows what will be at the other end of the Dreamland." Yin En said with certainty.

The bloody ghoul nodded and continued: "That's very good, but having said that, there is actually one more thing I need to do when I come to Arkham City this time, and that is to go to the library of Miskatonic University to find a This book!”

"ah?"

Liu Xing, who was flying in the sky, frowned because he subconsciously thought of the legendary god-killing dog!

Although according to the setting, the guard dog of the University of Michigan that killed all the sons of Yog-Sothoth should have been buried long ago, there is no guarantee that this dog will be buried because of the legendary achievement. level achievement and received the reward of immortality, and continued to guard the door of the library ready to bite people. . . Or rather non-human.

All in all, Liu Xing doubts that if the Scarlet Ghoul wants to enter Miskatonic University, it will most likely cause a lot of problems. After all, Miskatonic University is famous for its hidden dragons and crouching tigers, so even if the Scarlet Ghoul is already there Try your best to hide yourself, and your true identity may eventually be discovered.

Wait, is this a new mission?

Liu Xing suddenly realized that if he did not choose to leave, the task he would need to accept was to help the Scarlet Ghoul enter the Miskatonic University library to check a certain magic book. Of course, this task would take ten days and a half. In time, Liu Xing could be sure that it was either difficult for the Scarlet Ghoul to enter the library, or that he still didn't know which magic book he needed to find. Of course, it was also possible that it was both.

However, the former problem is actually quite easy to solve, because Miskatonic University has always had examples of cooperation with mythical creatures. Of course, the mythical creatures here must maintain a friendly relationship with humans, otherwise Miskatonic University will not cooperate with They cooperate!

As a mythical creature who has become a monk on the way, it is logically not difficult for the Scarlet Ghoul to cooperate with Miskatonic University. When the time comes, all we need to do is tell Professor Norton and I believe that Miskatonic University will treat the Scarlet Ghoul. With the ghoul as a partner, opening the library will naturally not be a problem.

Liu Xing carefully recalled the operations of the Scarlet Ghoul over the years. It seemed that he had not done anything contrary to his ancestors, so it was not difficult to introduce the cooperation between the Scarlet Ghoul and Miskatonic University.

So the difficulty of this mission is to find the magic book that the bloody ghoul wants.

This is difficult to say, neither difficult nor difficult, because to put it simply, it is a matter of passing judgments several times, but the problem is that as long as it involves passing judgments, it is purely based on luck, so completing this task will occurred over such a long time span.

In addition, Liu Xing estimates that the ghoul clan will not let go of the bloody ghoul. After all, in their view, the bloody ghoul is a traitor that everyone can punish! Even if the Scarlet Ghouls escape to Miskatonic University, they will still find ways to cause trouble to the Scarlet Ghouls! Even using some chess pieces hidden in Arkham City!

Yes, although there are many mythical creatures living around Miskatonic University, and they all claim that they are unwilling to be enemies of humans, so they have turned against the original tribe, but who knows whether what they say is true or false?
