Real Cthulhu Running Game

"Isn't it easy to make a code book? We just need to buy a book, and then find those commonly used words in the book, and remember that these words are on how many pages, how many lines, and how many times, so that we can Make a qualified codebook; although this codebook is quite simple, as long as the opponent does not know which book we are using, it is impossible for them to decipher our encrypted information." Zhang Jingxu said with a smile.

"Yes, this encryption method is indeed simple and direct, but it is not too difficult to decipher. You only need to roughly determine the meaning of the word based on the frequency of each password, and then combine it with the context. It’s easy to complete the cracking, but it’s a bit labor-intensive, and it will also test your ability to choose words and form sentences.”

Liu Xing touched his chin and came up with a good idea, "I remember that there was an encryption method in the past, which was to use dialects to encrypt, so we used this method combined with the book correspondence method... Well, I think this is the way to go. It’s a bit too troublesome, sometimes messages need to be delivered in a very short time, and if you make the password too complex, it won’t be worth the loss.”

"Then we can match some commonly used sentences with a single password, so that the information can be transmitted in an instant."

He Hua'er looked at the night sky and said: "Or you can use the constellations in the sky as passwords. For example, Scorpio means the mission has failed and is being evacuated, while Taurus means everything is going well. In short, the password can be encrypted in a variety of ways. describe."

As soon as He Huaer finished speaking, Liu Xing saw the four-winged giant eagle flying from the sky. However, the four-winged giant eagle looked a little embarrassed today. Even from such a distance, Liu Xing could see that its feathers were a little messy. , and one of the wings was obviously not working properly, and it looked like it was injured.

What is going on? The four-winged giant eagle is injured?

Could it be that the four-winged giant eagle encountered some trouble?

"This four-winged giant eagle is injured, right? It seems to have been purely physical damage, so it must have met a martial arts master who specializes in boxing and kicking?" Ding Kun said curiously.

"I think this is impossible, because no matter how powerful your fists and kicks are, you can't hit the sky, and the four-winged giant eagle has injured the roots of its forewings, which is equivalent to the creaking nests of us humans, so I want to hit It takes a little effort to get here.”

Liu Xing shook his head and said: "I think this four-winged giant eagle looks like it injured itself, such as accidentally hitting something, and we can also make a bold guess. It may be related to It’s about something we do.”

"Leader, do you mean that this has something to do with us sending radios? I remember that the methods used by airports to drive away birds include broadcasting electromagnetic waves of specific frequencies, thereby affecting the perception of birds. For example, some birds fly over the signal tower. It will lose its direction, and if a signal jammer is installed on the pigeon, it will not be able to find its way home, even if it has flown this road hundreds of times before; so this four-winged giant eagle may Did he receive the signal from us halfway, so he suddenly lost his sense of direction, and then crashed directly into the mountain or fell into the woods? This guess is indeed quite bold." He Hua'er sighed.

Liu Xing smiled and said seriously: "A powerful monster like the four-winged giant eagle usually has some special weaknesses, so that we players have the opportunity to solve it, such as the wine ape we dealt with before. We can aim rockets at its belly, which may directly cause an explosion; and under normal circumstances, I don’t think any player would have thought that this four-winged giant eagle would be affected by electromagnetic waves. After all, this is a martial arts model. Let’s form a group, electromagnetic waves are very scientific, but not martial arts enough.”

"It makes sense what you said, Alliance Leader. Then we can indeed do some related experiments in the future."

As soon as Meng Fugui finished speaking, Liu Xing suddenly felt an inexplicable sleepiness in his heart and almost fell to the ground.

Fortunately, Yin En, who was sitting next to Liu Xing, reacted quickly and immediately blocked Liu Xing when he saw something was wrong.

"Leader, you have worked hard on the road for so many days, and you may be a little tired now, so you should go back and rest after eating." Zheng Fei said with concern.

Although Liu Xing knew that he had eaten and slept on the carriage in the past few days, and logically speaking, he could not have accumulated much fatigue points, but his unexplained sleepiness still reminded Liu Xing of the Yehou Statue, because the Yehou Statue Before this, I often let myself have some strange dreams, so now I suddenly want to sleep. Could it be that the Yehou statue is urging me?

So Liu Xing did not choose to refuse, so he went back to his room to rest after eating.

As a result, Liu Xing just fell asleep.

"Oh, so that's what you think, group leader. It seems like I'm overthinking it."

A somewhat familiar voice sounded in Liu Xing's ears, which also made Liu Xing open his eyes. As a result, he saw a man with strange eyes, but it's not a joke. This man with glasses looked quite handsome, and Give yourself a very calm feeling.

But the most important thing is that this man with glasses calls himself the "group leader", so he should also be the first group of players in the Cthulhu Run Game Hall?

"Ah Yi, you are teasing the group leader here again. Aren't you afraid that the group leader will put on your shoes?"

At this moment, Huang Haoshu appeared next to the man with the eyes and called him A Yi. In Liu Xing's impression, he didn't seem to know anyone named A Yi, and he didn't seem to have anyone among his acquaintances. A person with "one" in his name.

As for whether it is the homophone of "一", Liu Xing suddenly felt an inexplicable confidence when he thought about this, that is, this person is "Ah Yi", not some Ayi or Ayi.

Before Liu Xing could react, Huang Haoshu continued: "Okay, it's time for us to participate in the module. Lao Zhang and the others are still waiting for us."

As a result, Ah Yi smiled at Liu Xing, and then followed Huang Haoshu into the light door next to him.

Light gate?

Lao Zhang?

Because "Zhang" is a common surname, although Liu Xing subconsciously thought of Zhang Jingxu, he finally rejected the possibility. . . But Liu Xing still couldn't help but think that this old Zhang was Zhang Jingxu.

For some reason, Liu Xing suddenly became interested in Ah Yi because he seemed to be very familiar with him.

At this time, Liu Xing saw several "people" with strange shapes and strange clothes walking into the light door, and they all looked familiar to him, and they all said hello to him.

After no one joined the light gate, the light gate slowly closed, and the pattern on the door was Liu Xing's familiar old seal.

At this moment, a cutscene suddenly appeared in front of Liu Xing's eyes.

The content of this cutscene is also very simple. Hajime and others who had just entered the light gate suddenly fainted at different places. Then several people appeared and dragged them away. Then there was a black screen transition. Hajime The others woke up in a strange place, with a strange collar tied around their necks, and an old-fashioned candy bar mobile phone beside them.

This seems to be the beginning of a movie, and Liu Xing can now guess the plot of the movie, that is, the collars around the necks of Ah Yi and others are obviously equipped with mechanisms. If they cannot complete the corresponding tasks, this collar will They should be able to send them to the West to learn scriptures. As for the way to release the mission, it must be through that candy bar phone.

After the cutscene ended, a PPT-style picture appeared in front of Liu Xing's eyes.

Module name: Escape

Number of players: fifty

Module Difficulty: Hard

Module background: You were taken to this strange place by a group of mysterious people, so what you have to do now, or the only thing you can do is to find a way to escape from here, because you subconsciously feel that if you don't escape, you will There is a chance that you will never see your family and friends.

Main mission: Escape from this strange city.

Note: The secret room time of this module is that each person can open it twice, for ten minutes each time.

The mod officially begins!

Seeing this, Liu Xing knew that he should have come to an early module in the Cthulhu Run Game Hall, because the introduction of this module highlighted a simple and direct, and the related settings of the secret room time were not simple. KP is needed to notify players.

A little rough.

"KP, are you there?"

Liu Xing saw a little goblin that looked like a fairy tale, and complained in a smoky voice, "Let's be honest, how did those men in black catch me? I am also a goblin with the element of wind after all. These wings are flapping. I stand out and fly very fast; but the most important thing is that they didn't put a magical creature like me up for auction, but threw me into a place like this for experiments. Isn't this a secret move?"

This man, no, this goblin seems to make a lot of sense.

However, the kp in his mouth did not reply, or it can be said that Liu Xing could not hear what kp said, because Liu Xing could tell from the goblin's facial expression that kp had replied to him.

At this time, a large map appeared in front of Liu Xing's eyes, with many red dots flashing on it. It seemed that these red dots represented the fifty players.

According to the marked content on the map, Liu Xing discovered that this time the module randomly arrived at an industrial area. In addition to various factory areas, there were various supporting living facilities, and it appeared in an area marked "Car Assembly Plant" A black spot has been discovered. It seems that the key to the player's escape lies in this car assembly plant.

Just when he thought of this, an assembly line for car assembly suddenly appeared in front of Liu Xing's eyes. A strange machine appeared in the middle. It looked like an old-fashioned phone booth, but more importantly, in this machine There were several shoggoths wandering aimlessly next to it.

It seems that if players want to get close to that machine, they will have to deal with several Shoggoths in such complex terrain.

This is no easy task, so what do players need to do?

Thinking of this, the picture in front of Liu Xing switched to a player.

At this time, the player is reading a text message on his mobile phone, and the content of this text message is a prompt for the player to pass the level - either find the magnetic cards scattered within the specified range and activate them, or find various cards within the specified range. He needs clues to decipher a code so that he can remove the strange collar around his neck and then leave this unknown city.

as expected.

But having said that, since "password" is mentioned here, could it be because I talked about encryption methods with others, so I triggered Yehou's keyword system, so Yehou came to remind me that I should go to bed? Already?

After reading the text message, the mobile phone interface automatically switched to a map with a very low resolution. Moreover, this map did not have any place names marked on it, but was directly divided into a hundred small grids, represented by a red dot. indicates the player's location.

At this time, the player was on the top floor of a five-story dormitory building.

The player first walked to the window and observed the surrounding situation. After confirming that there was no movement nearby, he began to search the room lightly, and soon found a small note - 3: The second postal code.

Obviously, the "3" on this note represents the third digit of the password, which corresponds to the second digit of the city's zip code.

"It seems that I have to find something with a zip code, such as an envelope or something, to get the third number of the password."

The player said to himself: "This looks like a staff dormitory. If nothing else happens, I should be able to find some letters or packages in the guard room on the first floor."

As soon as he finished speaking, the player suddenly turned his head and looked at Liu Xing, which shocked Liu Xing.

"Strange, why do I keep feeling like something is looking at me from behind?"

The player shook his head and said with a puzzled look on his face: "Could it be that the kp is looking at me? Forget it, let's find a handy weapon to defend ourselves first."

Liu Xing took a deep breath and managed to calm down his mood. Then he watched the player dig through the wall and find a dagger from a small cabinet, and then he gestured with the two Down.

It was these two gestures that convinced Liu Xing that this player had a special background, because the way he held the dagger and the two gestures reminded Liu Xing of the instructors who performed during military training.

At this moment, the picture in front of Liu Xing switched again, and he saw a strange-looking dog-headed penguin!

That's right, it's a Stitch Monster with the head of a husky and the body of a penguin. It looks very funny.

Liu Xing still remembers that a few years ago, a set of emoticons became popular on the Internet, which spliced ​​two seemingly unrelated animals together. Among them, the most popular one was the Husky.
