Real Cthulhu Running Game

Although Liu Xing knew that those elementary school students who died were all NPCs, they were just a bunch of data in the Cthulhu running game, but this did not prevent Liu Xing from feeling sorry and helpless about their deaths, but fortunately, if his group could complete the side mission, their deaths could be prevented.

Therefore, Liu Xing took a deep breath and said, "Let's not talk about this for now. After all, some things have passed, and it's still a matter of entanglement like this. Besides, we have done our best, so don't let these things affect our mood."

Shi Chuanling nodded, and said with some doubts: "That's right, let's stop talking about these sad topics now, but don't you think it's a little strange that we didn't seem to see the family members of the victims at the scene of the fire, and the number of people present seemed to be a bit small, and most of them were men."

Hearing what Shi Chuanling said, Liu Xing immediately began to think about the situation at the fire scene this afternoon, as if it really happened.

The first is the issue of the family members of the victims of the fire. In Liu Xing's impression, the family members of the victims will definitely cry at the scene. After all, thinking of their children being buried in the sea of ​​​​fire, anyone would have a mental breakdown.

What's more, in a small town like Panlong Town, everyone is basically related to each other, no matter how bad they are, they are acquaintances with each other, and Panlong Town has such a large area, and the speed of news transmission is extremely fast, so Liu Xing doesn't think that at the scene of the fire just now, there were no family members of the victims among the people who participated in the fire fighting.

However, the family members of these victims were very calm, and they all devoted themselves to the firefighting operation. They neither cried nor made noises, and did not ask Li Ming, the mayor of the town, to make unreasonable demands, such as sending people to enter the fire scene. This made Liu Xing feel a little unbelievable.

You must know that for parents and elders, children can be said to be everything to them, and they can do anything for their children, just like in the two world-famous terrorist attacks in Maoxiong Country, the head of Maoxiong Country attacked terrorists with their own weapons in order to rescue their children.

Although strictly speaking, the actions of the head of Mao Xiongguo disrupted the deployment of the police, causing serious adverse consequences and causing a large number of casualties, but no one can blame those parents of Maoxiongguo too much. After all, they are all for the safety of their children.

Therefore, Liu Xing felt that the family members of the victims of the black Internet cafe fire were a little too calm.

The second is the number of people at the scene of the fire. Although Liu Xing did not pay attention to the count carefully, but in retrospect, Liu Xing estimated that the number of people present at that time should be around 40 or 50 people, which is obviously abnormal.

Because based on what he saw and heard this afternoon, Liu Xing preliminarily estimated that the population of Panlong Town should be around 300 to 500 people, which means that only one tenth of the residents of Panlong Town were present at the scene of the fire just now.

You must know that no matter where it is, most human beings have the habit of joining in the fun. Usually, when two people quarrel and fight, they can surround a circle of people. What's more, there is still a fire, which may involve their relatives and friends.

So Liu Xing didn't say that the entire Beaulieu Town was present, at least half of the Beaulieu Town's people were present to be normal.

As for the last point that Shi Chuanling said, Liu Xing became more and more strange the more he thought about it. In the fire scene just now, except for the proprietress of the black Internet cafe, Liu Xing really didn't see a single woman. . .

etc.

Liu Xing frowned, and began to think carefully about all his experiences today. It seemed that apart from the proprietress of the black Internet cafe, he only saw Hu Li as a woman!

Thinking of this, Liu Xing immediately said: "By the way, don't you think that apart from the proprietress of the black Internet cafe and Hu Li, we didn't see other women today?"

Both Shi Chuanling and Zhang Jingxu frowned, and shook their heads after thinking for a while.

As for Wan Zhongshan and Li Dian, after Zhang Jingxu's translation, they shook their heads and said that they did not see other women.

This is very strange. Could it be that the ratio of men to women in Panlong Town is so out of balance, or is it that women in Panlong Town don't like to go out?

"Well, how about I ask Hu Cang these questions later?" Zhang Jingxu said.

Liu Xing and Shi Chuanling naturally agreed, since they couldn't communicate with Hu Cang anyway, and among Zhang Jingxu's three, Liu Xing and Shi Chuanling definitely believed Zhang Jingxu more.

However, when Zhang Jingxu was discussing with Li Dian and Wan Zhongshan, Liu Xing could see that Li Dian had some opinions, so after discussing with Li Dian, Zhang Jingxu decided to hand over the leading power to Li Dian.

"Li Dian's progress here is very good. He and Hu Cang are already called brothers. Especially after we told Hu Cang this afternoon that we already knew the secret of the black dragon, Hu Cang became more relaxed. Therefore, it is better for Li Dian to ask Hu Cang for information, and I can also translate their conversations for Meteor students in real time. If you have any questions, you can ask them at that time." Zhang Jingxu said with a smile.

Liu Xing nodded, it was a good thing that Li Dian was able to get in touch with Hu Cang smoothly.

Shi Chuanling thought for a while, and said, "Then Zhang Jingxu, please tell Li Dian for me, let him ask Hu Cang about the specific situation of the drowned elementary school student, and who is the person who set fire to the black Internet cafe this afternoon."

Shi Chuanling is obviously planning for the side mission that was just triggered. After all, his group knows nothing about the drowned elementary school student and the person who set fire to the black Internet cafe today. If he can really go back in time, it will be very embarrassing for his group to not know the NPC they need to contact to complete the side mission.

After Zhang Jingxu translated Shi Chuanling's words to Li Dian, Hu Cang began to serve the dishes.

Ever since, everyone tacitly got up and went to the kitchen to serve dinner.

After a while, everyone sat around a table with Hu Cang and began to eat dinner.

After Li Dian casually ate a couple of mouthfuls of rice, he started talking to Hu Cang.

And Zhang Jingxu naturally started his real-time translation work, "It seems that Li Dian is quite good at chatting. He first complimented Hu Cang's medical skills when he came up, and then asked Hu Cang about the ins and outs of the black Internet cafe arson case that just happened, and Hu Cang also told him everything he knew. First of all, the elementary school student who was drowned at the beginning was named Wang Haiyang. He lives in Wangjiazhai outside Panlong Town.

"We have already seen that the best entertainment place for elementary school students in Panlong Town is the black Internet cafe. After all, games are fatally attractive to children. Even if they can't play with their own hands, watching others play is a good way to pass the time. Therefore, Wang Haiyang often goes to the black Internet cafe to watch others play games. Because Wang Haiyang's family conditions are relatively average, Wang Haiyang basically has no pocket money, so he can only watch but not play."

"Based on Hu Cang's understanding, the proprietress of the black Internet cafe is a petite person. She never gave any good looks to those elementary school students who only watched other people play games on her own site, but didn't spend a penny. Therefore, according to Hu Cang's speculation, the proprietress of the black Internet cafe at that time should have said or done something to Wang Haiyang because Wang Haiyang didn't spend money to play games, which caused Wang Haiyang to commit suicide by jumping into the river."

"As for the person who set fire to the black Internet cafe today, it has been found out that Wang Haiyang's father, Wang Anan, was an ordinary farmer. He was honest and loyal. He had a good reputation in Panlong Town. However, because Wang Haiyang was Wang Anan's only child, it was reasonable for Wang Anan to do such a thing. Moreover, Wang Anan knew that he had made a big mistake, and he must have died, so he poured gasoline on himself before entering the black Internet cafe. He was the first to die in the fire. , and the confirmed death toll in this fire is thirteen people, including Wang Pingan and the proprietress of the black Internet cafe."

Sure enough, honest people can't be messed with.

Liu Xing sighed, and said, "I see. It seems that this is a completely avoidable tragedy. If Wang Haiyang hadn't been addicted to games, there would have been no fire; if the proprietress of the black Internet cafe hadn't been so petty, there would have been no fire; if Wang Pingan hadn't been so impulsive and had chosen such an extreme method to avenge his son, there would have been no fire."

The reason why Liu Xing said this is actually reminding Shi Chuanling and others to make a basic strategy for the next branch mission. At that time, as long as the three main points of view are followed, and according to the specific situation after going back in time, this branch mission can be easily completed. . . Bar?

After knowing the cause and effect of the fire in the black Internet cafe, Liu Xing felt that the difficulty of this side task was a bit too low. Basically, he could complete the side task directly after one or two judgments and prevent the fire from happening in the black Internet cafe.

And will the Cthulhu running group game arrange such a simple task?

of course not.

After all, this is the promotion module of the Shoggoth area, and it is impossible to have such a simple task, even if the reward of this side task is relatively average.

Therefore, Liu Xing felt that it was either this side mission or something tricky. After all, Hu Cang was just a bystander and had heard some rumors, so Hu Cang’s words could not be taken seriously; or this side mission was just a pre-quest, and after completing this side mission, a new side mission would start, and this new side mission might be very difficult.

At this time, Zhang Jingxu interrupted Liu Xing's thinking, "Okay, Li Dian started to get to the point, and was asking Shi Chuanling the questions you just mentioned, but Hu Cang's appearance seems to be that these questions are not difficult to answer. According to Hu Cang, because the next town opened an embroidery workshop a year ago, the business is very good, so basically all the women in Panlong Town have been recruited to work. Therefore, there are only more than 300 permanent residents in Panlong Town. Just a young man."

Liu Xing nodded, and Hu Cang's explanation was quite perfect, basically answering those questions of Shi Chuanling.

However, Liu Xing could clearly feel that Hu Cang was avoiding the most important point, because Hu Cang's answer intentionally or unintentionally ignored the most important key point, that is, the issue of the victim's family.

Liu Xing frowned and said, "Zhang Jingxu, did Li Dian ask Hu Cang about the victim's family just now?"

Zhang Jingxu shook his head slightly, and said helplessly: "Li Dian asked, but Hu Cang has been talking about him all the time, deliberately avoiding this question, so Li Dian should not entangle in this aspect anymore, so as not to arouse Hu Cang's resentment and dissatisfaction. After all, we are just outsiders."

Because Hu Cang deliberately led the topic, the next conversation between Li Dian and Hu Cang was nothing but nonsense, which also made Liu Xing more convinced that Hu Cang was still hiding something.

After the meal, Liu Xing and his group went directly to the third floor, sat down in the room of Li Dian and Wan Zhongshan, and then Wan Zhongshan activated the secret room time.

"I'm going, this module is too weird, so many original mythical creatures are stuffed in, it's trying to kill us." Wan Zhongshan complained.

Shi Chuanling nodded, and said with deep sympathy: "Yes, I suspect that the number of original mythical creatures in this module should be more than ten. The most important thing is that these side missions are also very tricky. According to the current situation, these side missions may involve and interfere with each other. It is very likely that after completing a certain side mission, there is no way to complete another side mission."

"There is a possibility, you should have noticed that the relationship between Hu Cang, Xiao Mochen, and Hu Li is not simple, and the three of them should be important NPCs in this module, so each of us may only choose to do one or two of them. Therefore, I suggest that in the next action, we split up. I will continue to be in charge of Hu Cang, Wan Zhongshan will be in charge of Xiao Mochen, and Zhang Jingxu, the three of you, try to communicate with Hu Li." Li Dian said seriously.

For Li Dian's idea, Liu Xing still agrees very much, "OK, let's distribute according to what you said Li Dian, but then again, Wan Chongshan, did you gain anything from playing cards with Xiao Mochen this afternoon?"

Wan Chongshan nodded, and said with a strange expression: "Yes, there is, but I'm not sure, I just suspect that Xiao Mochen may be a woman..."

PS: Tomorrow, Labor Day, let me, the working people, have a day off, okay?
