Real Cthulhu Running Game

"If you don't mind, I can recommend a professor you may have met - Mr. Norton. He was the person in charge of our excavation of underground ruins in the Kingdom of Earthsea."

Zhang Jingxu said to the Scarlet Ghoul seriously: "Mr. Norton has a pretty good personality, and he also has a certain reputation at Miskatonic University, so if you have him as a recommender, then you want to enter Miskatonic University It should not be difficult to access the library; but here I must say something first, that is, the library of Miskatonic University is not only divided into two floors, the outside and the inside, but the inside is also divided into three levels: low, middle and high. The lower level is It is open to students in related majors, the intermediate level is for students who need to have lecturer status or make special contributions, and the advanced level is for professors."

"Mr. Chris, if you only go to the low-level area of ​​the inner library, then you only need to register at Miskatonic University, because the books there are basically theoretical knowledge, and most of them are related to various It is related to the data information of mythical creatures, and in short, it basically does not involve any specific spells; but if you want to enter the intermediate and high-level areas in the inner layer, then you have to sign a contract with Miskatonic University, and then you must at least guarantee I will not be an enemy of humans! If the book you want to read, Mr. Chris, is very important, then you have to prepare some exchange conditions."

The bloody ghoul nodded and said with a smile: "I have already prepared these. After all, Miskatonic University is not a charity. How can it help potential enemies like us unconditionally? So I have already done this. I’m ready to join Miskatonic University, and maybe becoming a special professor of occult science is also a good choice.”

Liu Xing raised his eyebrows, but he didn't find that the bloody ghoul actually planned to become a professor at Miskatonic University.

But having said that, this is also a good choice, because Miskatonic University is also well-known among mythical creatures, and everyone will give it a little face. After all, no one wants a group of people to suddenly show up at your door. Dig here, tap there, right? What's more, Miskatonic University has also managed to put together a strong team, so there is no problem in dealing with some small tribes.

The most important thing is that Miskatonic University has recruited many lone ranger-style mythical creatures, so it is equivalent to having an extra group of mercenaries with good strength. The Scarlet Ghoul can join them, and maybe it will be okay. Dig some footholds from here to supplement your own strength.

After all, the Scarlet Ghoul's subordinates are also mythical creatures from "all walks of life", and now that "people" such as Matt have disappeared, this must also give the Scarlet Ghoul a headache, right? Because Met was a chess piece he placed in the dreamland, but the chess piece disappeared suddenly and inexplicably. Who could he ask to explain this matter?

"Okay, I'll contact Professor Norton after you recover from your injury. He should recommend you, but you have to tell me what books you plan to read first, so that Professor Norton knows how to recommend you. "Yin En asked.

""Atmospheric Creatures" is a very popular book. The author is the second dean of Miskatonic University, Frame. He should be the first human to investigate atmospheric creatures." The Scarlet Ghoul is serious. replied.

""Atmospheric Creatures"? How come I haven't heard of this book? But I have learned about atmospheric creatures. They are creatures that live in the sky all their lives. The density of these creatures' bodies is very low, so they can float in the sky. The sky... But the problem is that these atmospheric creatures are rarer than mythical creatures, right? At least so far I have seen a lot of mythical creatures, but I have never seen an atmospheric creature."

Ding Kun shook his head and said: "And even for mythical creatures, their existence is scientific, or at least quite reasonable, but this atmospheric creature is different. If these atmospheric creatures can really float in the sky all the time, then They are either very small or very large, otherwise there is not enough buoyancy to ensure that they will not fall; then the atmospheric organisms must be truly colorless and transparent, otherwise they will be too conspicuous flying in the sky. , and there have been no sighting reports of atmospheric creatures for so many years... In addition, I remember that no mythical creature has proposed the existence of atmospheric creatures so far, right?"

"That's right, even mythical creatures have never seen this atmospheric creature, so I don't think this atmospheric creature exists." Zhang Jingxu agreed from the side.

Liu Xing nodded with deep understanding in the sky, because there are no reports about atmospheric creatures in this parallel world full of mythical creatures, so atmospheric creatures must not exist; of course, even if they exist, they should be regarded as mythical creatures Solved, after all, from a scientific point of view, atmospheric organisms are real food, and they are low-end versions of floating jellyfish.

But Liu Xing was curious about why the Scarlet Ghoul wanted to study this atmospheric creature. Could it be that it was preparing to create a new creature on its own?

There is a saying that atmospheric organisms can really serve as high-altitude scouts to monitor the situation on the ground, because their existence is a bit like satellites hovering in the sky.

"It's like this. Didn't I investigate an ancient ruins some time ago? When I was sorting out the goods, I discovered that this ancient civilization may have had contact with atmospheric creatures, because they left traces of atmospheric creatures in books or murals. , in short, it seems very likely that atmospheric organisms really existed, of course, it is possible that they disappeared many years ago; but the atmospheric organisms in the records are very interesting, so I happened to hear about Miskatonic University’s third The second dean once wrote a book about atmospheric organisms. I thought that these atmospheric organisms may have existed hundreds of years ago, so I felt it was necessary to study the current situation of these atmospheric organisms and take a look. Is there any chance to really capture one or two atmospheric creatures?"

The bloody ghoul said very seriously: "The strength of the atmospheric creatures cannot be underestimated, because the ancient civilization was almost beaten by these atmospheric creatures and did not dare to go out, so the cities it built were all with domes; how can I say this? Well, have you ever heard of a mythical creature called the shadow crocodile? This shadow crocodile exists in the form of a shadow in most cases, and will only transform into a physical entity at the last moment of attack, so this myth Creatures are really difficult to deal with! The situation of atmospheric creatures is a bit similar to shadow crocodiles. They usually exist in the state of molecules, so it is difficult for you to see their true appearance, but when they attack, they will Form an entity in a short period of time.”

Shadow crocodile?

Liu Xing remembered that he had watched an anime of the same name a long time ago. The shadow crocodile in it was as powerful as the bloody ghoul said. It would usually move at high speed in the form of a shadow, with almost no restrictions, and when it launched an attack It is almost invincible when attacking, because the person being attacked is basically unable to resist, and it is very difficult to even detect the existence of Shadow Crocodile; but there is one thing to say, this Shadow Crocodile is indeed quite Cthulhu, because it It is also an indescribable existence. After all, for the shadow, it can become a crocodile, a shark, and even a shark eagle that does not exist.

However, the atmospheric creature mentioned by the Scarlet Ghoul is different from the Shadow Crocodile. It is more like a "creature" composed of countless micro-individuals! These microorganisms, which are invisible to the naked eye, usually go about their own business. When something happens, they gather together and turn into a huge monster, and then suddenly jump down from the sky to look for food! After successfully foraging, they will eat their own food like piranhas. When they are full, they will go back to their homes and wait for the next cooperation.

"Isn't this a miniature version of piranhas? Usually one or two piranhas are basically no threat to humans, but when a group of piranhas get together, it can be troublesome, or this is an elephant killed by ants! However, atmospheric creatures should have a certain degree of wisdom and know that everyone should live separately in normal times, so as to reduce the possibility of being discovered. When it is time to act collectively, they will gather together to form a seemingly large body. A huge, intimidating monster." Yin En analyzed.

"I thought so too, so I was wondering if I could have a chance to control these atmospheric creatures, and then arrange them to all corners of the world to serve as surveillance cameras for me. In this way, I don't need to worry about intelligence issues. .”

The bloody ghoul said with a sigh: "But this is just a thought, because so far I am not sure about the existence of atmospheric creatures, so I thought of coming to Miskatonic University to study the book "Atmospheric Creatures" " to see if Frame has encountered similar existences. If he also recorded the same atmospheric creatures as I left in the books of ancient civilizations, then I will have to spend some time to investigate this kind of atmospheric creatures. Does it still exist in this world? Although the possibility is relatively low, but if it does exist and I find it at the same time, that would be perfect!"

"I think this is quite mysterious, because we humans are quite weak compared to mythical creatures, but now our footprints can be considered to be all over most areas of the world, and there are about 100,000 flights taking off and landing every day, plus With the use of various floating detection devices such as weather balloons, atmospheric organisms have long been unable to hide; not to mention that the atmospheric organisms seem to be quite strong, but it is not difficult to defeat them one by one, so I guess that a long time ago this The atmospheric organisms have completely disappeared, or they have simply turned into another type of plankton and will no longer gather together for hunting." Li Hanxing shook his head and said.

"You have to have a dream, and this means taking the time to look up the information. If you can really find it then it will be a huge profit. Even if you can't find it, it won't be a loss, at least for special life forms like atmospheric organisms. I have a certain understanding." The bloody ghoul said with a smile.

"You are right to say that. This is indeed a business where you make money when you win and lose nothing when you lose."

Yin En thought for a while and continued: "If nothing else happens, this "Atmospheric Creatures" should belong to the collection of books in the lower-level areas of the inner layer, and may even appear in the surface library. After all, the concept of atmospheric creatures has appeared a lot. Over the years, there are really not many books about it; and the area where "Atmospheric Creatures" is located can also prove the existence of atmospheric creatures, because if this book appears in the surface library, it will prove that Mies Catonic University has determined that atmospheric organisms no longer exist, and the presence in the inner library means that atmospheric organisms still exist in the world."

"Then if the book "Atmospheric Creatures" appears in the advanced area of ​​the inner library, it means that atmospheric creatures are now a very powerful mythical creature, and they are existences that must be guarded against!"

Zhang Wenbing suddenly showed a mysterious smile, and then continued: "I heard that there is actually a very mysterious area in the library of Miskatonic University, which can only be entered with the authorization of all the presidents, and The books stored in it must be taken a look at even if they are about mythical creatures! One of the books is dedicated to introducing a kind of mythical creature-the giant worm. It is said that just one of these creatures can swallow an entire planet, even if it is the Old One. I don’t dare to confront it head-on!”

Mentioning the macrophage worm, Liu Xing suddenly thought of two words - invincible! Because although the giant worm is only a superior mythical creature, its strength has far exceeded that of most of the old rulers. After all, Cthulhu, Hastur and other old rulers said they could destroy the earth, but in fact they were dragging the earth down. Over and over again, everything on the ground is just "washed" clean, but the giant worm can really put the earth into its belly!

Therefore, in the Cthulhu Running Game, the statistics of the Macrophagic Worm cannot be described as terrible!

In most games, the criteria for judging whether a monster is powerful or not is nothing more than its damage and defense. Therefore, in the Cthulhu Run game, there are not many monsters that can break the defense of the giant worm. Basically, there are two You can count them all on one hand, that is, beings like Azathoth, Nyarlathotep, and Yog-Sothoth. . . And the damage of the macrophage worm is also very high. It can be said that one punch can kill one Cthulhu, and even Azathoth only needs one more punch.

Of course, if the Macrophage Worm and Azathoth really fight, the Macrophage Worm will definitely have no chance of winning. After all, some things cannot be simply reflected in the data, and these things are very important.

However, this does not prevent players in the Cthulhu Run Game Hall from treating the giant worms as the old rulers, because whether the old rulers come or the giant worms come to eat at the buffet, the final outcome of the earth will not be the same. Just one word - finished.
