Real Cthulhu Running Game

This so-called opera festival is somewhat similar to various music festivals in the real world, that is, each opera troupe takes turns performing on stage. The currently scheduled performance time is from 1 p.m. to 8 p.m., which is when it gets dark. .

Of course, the weather is already very hot now, so it is impossible to hold this opera festival in an open-air venue, otherwise it will be bad if a few people faint from the heat, and no one will come here on this hot day. To watch a play, the venue for this opera festival was placed in a very interesting place - the warehouse of Dah Sing Trading Company.

Dah Sing Trading Company is one of the largest trading houses in the Xinlong Empire. There will be a Dah Sing Trading Company in almost every city, and there will also be a Dah Sing Trading Company warehouse, because Dah Sing Trading Company is similar to the one in the real world. The department store sells almost everything, and it also accepts orders. Of course, ordering here is a bit similar to mail order in the real world, that is, there is a detailed list of goods, and you can order from this according to your needs. Select the goods and quantity you want to buy from the goods list, then pay and wait to receive the goods.

Speaking of this mail order, Liu Xing remembered that when he was still studying in his hometown, classmates would often bring a mail order booklet to the classroom, and the fancy products in it made Liu Xing think about everything. But I can’t afford anything, so I can only look at them to satisfy my craving. It may take me a month’s pocket money to buy a few pieces, and then I can start waiting in anticipation.

So Liu Xing still remembers that there were a lot of anime peripherals in those mail-order booklets, such as character badges related to comics, or miniature models of certain weapons, and of course there were paintings and figures.

etc!

Liu Xing, who was belatedly aware of this, suddenly looked towards the wall, and on the other side of the wall was the hut where the Yehou statue was located.

Yes, Liu Xing suddenly remembered that in a mail-order brochure he had seen, the last page was full of products related to the Cthulhu mythology, such as the classic old seal and yellow seal badges, and Cthulhu There are paintings of Rue and Hastur, and even the book covers of "The Necronomicon" and "The King in Yellow".

The most important thing is that half of the last page is given to an oversized figure - Night Roar!

"Are my memories real?"

At this time, Liu Xing no longer believed in his memory, so he began to doubt that there was something wrong with his memory, because Liu Xing still remembered that the last page of this kind of mail-order booklet was usually your mail-order. The list means writing down your receiving information and what you want to buy, and then you can pay and wait for the delivery.

What's more, mail order brochures like this are all targeted, that is, different brochures will be prepared for different types of customers. This is just like today's online shopping platforms have sub-interfaces such as "wine" and "clothing", so At that time, Liu Xing saw that mail order brochures were all written for students, so the products in them were all things students liked, and the unit price was not too high. After all, students at that time had so much money, so These mail-order brochures are generally distributed to the entire class rather than to an individual.

Because of this, the most expensive figures in the mail-order brochures are now clay figures and palm-sized small figures. Although the Yehou figure in Liu Xing's memory is not clearly labeled There are parameters, but there is a reference object next to it - a desk calendar, so as long as this desk calendar is not a miniature model, then the size of this Yehou figure is approximately equal to today's Yehou statue!

There is even a possibility that the Yehou figure in the mail-order brochure is the current Yehou statue. Although Liu Xing has almost forgotten the price of the Yehou figure, Liu Xing still remembers the lower right corner. There are at least five nines, so the cheapest figure for this figure is 999.99, right?

This is obviously abnormal, but Liu Xing still remembers that no one around him had any objections to this, as if it was natural for such an expensive thing to exist in this mail-order brochure, not to mention the shape of this Yehou figure. It's so popular, but no one thinks there's anything wrong with it.

The more he thought about it, the more Liu Xing felt that something was wrong. At this time, he became more and more irritable. After all, this hot weather was already disturbing, and now it brought back memories that had been dusty for a long time. Of course, it may also be that they have been deliberately modified. , which made Liu Xing think deeply and fearfully, but also felt that he was offended.

"Ah, it's so annoying!"

Liu Xing shook his head hard, shook his brain a little bit, and then sighed again, and decided to lie down and sleep. After all, sleeping can relieve a lot of worries, not to mention that Liu Xing was worried about himself at this time. There are also many questions about my memory. I don't know whether my previous memory was sealed or modified, or whether it was at the beginning. . .

Ah~ Why are you so sleepy?

Liu Xing thought about it and suddenly fell asleep.

When Liu Xing opened his eyes again, he found that he was standing at the gate of a Taoist temple, and the door had been knocked down.

Did a dump truck enter the Taoist temple?

Liu Xing looked around and did not find his four bald teammates, and there was nothing special about himself at this time.

So these teammates have already rushed into the Taoist temple? And I didn't have time to go in for some reasons, so I ended up at the back?

Liu Xing frowned, and after thinking for a moment, he decided to enter the Taoist temple. Since the Taoist temple was open, it would be rude not to go in and take a look. Besides, he was participating in the module in a dream, so he shouldn't need it. Are you worried about safety issues, so you should just mess around like a dump truck, so that you can get more unexpected information.

Thinking of this, Liu Xing took a deep breath, and then walked into the Taoist temple. However, before entering, Liu Xing subconsciously glanced in the direction of the village, but still did not see the four bald heads.

After walking into the Taoist temple, Liu Xing realized that something was wrong, because the layout of this Taoist temple looked familiar. It seemed to be similar to the Taoist temple next to Heshan County?

Wait, something's wrong!

At this time, Liu Xing suddenly realized a problem, that is, when he had this dream last time, although he could only take a look at this Taoist temple from a distance, he could tell that this Taoist temple was similar to the one he had visited in the martial arts module. That Taoist temple is completely different.

So what is going on? Is this a picture that I made up in my head?

Liu Xing thought of a possibility, that is, when making dough in the real world, many things are completely made up by the brain. Of course, some reliable KPs will prepare some props and pictures in advance, so that players can understand Have a basic understanding of certain things, because many people have poor spatial imagination.

For example, if you tell Liu Xing a house layout with two bedrooms and one living room, Liu Xing can barely construct a rough floor plan in his mind. However, if you upgrade the house layout to three bedrooms, two living rooms and two bathrooms, Liu Xing will Star's brain will be overloaded after just one listen.

So when Liu Xing took a peek in the previous tube, he only saw one outer wall of the Taoist temple. Therefore, this should be the KP board game store owner who described it, so a specific picture appeared, and when he When I entered the Taoist temple now, maybe KP didn't describe it, or maybe he just said "It's similar to the Taoist temples you see in the real world", so at this time I made up my mind and figured out the Taoist temple I had visited recently. A Taoist temple.

In this case, Liu Xing can be sure that there should be nothing worth noting in the courtyard of this Taoist temple, because if there is, kp will definitely describe it to himself.

Thinking of this, Liu Xing chose a room and walked in.

After entering this room, Liu Xing discovered that this room was different from the Taoist room he had entered before. It seemed that his guess was correct.

As for the layout of this room, in Liu Xing's opinion, it is similar to the Taoist wing in the TV series. There is a silver candlestick clearly placed on the table with a mostly burned candle on it.

As a veteran player in the Cthulhu Run game lobby, Liu Xing could tell at a glance that this candle was the only available light source. If he wanted to enter some dark areas, he would have to use it, otherwise the devil would happen. What a bad thing, and this candle is also a countdown, preventing players from exploring at will.

But at this time, Liu Xing realized that it was still dark at the moment, so he suddenly felt that the surroundings were getting dark.

"I'll go. Is there still such an operation?"

As a medical student, Liu Xing once heard a joke that an Alzheimer's patient miraculously recovered because he forgot that he had Alzheimer's disease.

So when I just entered the dream, I forgot that this module was in the dark night, so everything in front of me was clearly visible. As a result, when I realized what the situation was now, the "brightness" in front of me directly decreased.

Human beings are so wonderful.

Liu Xing shook his head, and then remembered that a teacher mentioned that the human brain is actually a speed-limiting device, which will actively limit the performance of various parts of the body, because everyone knows that if many things are used continuously according to the upper limit of their performance, then these things will The service life will be greatly reduced. For example, the performance of the tires of F1 racing cars is not generally strong, but they will be damaged soon after driving at super high speeds.

So there is an advertising slogan that seems very appropriate at this time - you have more energy than you imagine.

Therefore, if you want to stimulate your potential, the best way is to find a way to trick your brain and unlock your super-performance mode. For example, if you don’t find that you have a wound, then even a wound that is deep enough to the bone will be To you, it's as if it doesn't exist, you don't even feel it at all.

And many people should have heard that under certain special circumstances, human beings can burst out with extremely strong power. One of the most classic stories is that in order to save her child, she was able to lift a chicken even though she had no strength to do so. Pick up a car, and at the end of some versions, it is also mentioned that the mother will suffer internal injuries later, and even die suddenly not long after, because the sudden burst of power completely drained her The body, just like the charged weapons in some movies and TV shows, must be completely damaged if it wants to exert its maximum power.

So at this time, Liu Xing felt that he was in this situation before. He had deceived his brain and temporarily gained night vision. If this candle hadn't reminded him of his current environment, he might have entered the cellar. I won't think there is any problem.

Wait, cellar?

Liu Xing raised his eyebrows. Now that there is a candlestick with a candle, it means that there must be something in this Taoist temple that needs to use it. After all, every prop in the Cthulhu Running Game has it. Useful place.

Although the moonlight today is somewhat obscured by dark clouds, you can still barely see the surrounding situation clearly, so you can see roughly even if you are indoors. Unless you need to find something specifically, there is no need to light it. There is a candle, so Liu Xing can be sure that there may be a cellar or basement in this Taoist temple, which is the hiding place of the guarding BOSS.

If it is a cellar, then the entrance should be outdoors. However, from what I have seen and heard in this module, the cellar here should not be too big. At most, it is about the same as an ordinary classroom, and the entrance and exit should be only One, so if you put a mythical creature in the cellar, no matter how many players enter, it will be for nothing.

Therefore, Liu Xing is more inclined to have a basement in this Taoist temple, and it should be the kind of basement with several rooms and halls, so as to give players the possibility of playing hide-and-seek with mythical creatures, because even if the players have candles and weapons, It's impossible to fight a mythical creature with home field advantage in a dark basement.

Therefore, according to the normal game flow, Liu Xing felt that he had to find the entrance to the basement first at this time. After lighting the candle, he could enter the basement. In addition to lighting, the candle could also determine whether the oxygen in the basement was sufficient. Countdown to the official debut as a mythical creature!

And as long as there are no accidents, there must be several rooms in the basement, and there may be different clues and props in them. So in theory, you need to go through every room, but the problem now is that this is a five-story building. Human module, so many configurations are designed according to the standard of five people. This means that if you want to enter the basement alone, it may be difficult to enter all the rooms before the candles go out. Then you will run in your dream. The group tour may come to an abrupt end.

So what we have to do now is to find those four bald teammates!
