Real Cthulhu Running Game

Liu Xing looked at the surrounding environment and found that the Dream Club was quite good at choosing places, because the area of ​​the former underground prison was quite large, and the architectural layout was also very suitable for holding secret gatherings, because except for the one in the middle Outside the hall, which can accommodate gatherings of hundreds of people, it is surrounded by cubicles of various sizes, which can provide suitable conversation space for those in need.

And it may be because this former underground prison was used to detain some high-profile criminals, so the decoration here is very luxurious, especially the extremely conspicuous huge lighting in the lobby. Liu Xing estimates that it would have cost more than 100,000 pounds. Not coming down.

Liu Xing was thinking as he followed Dio to the so-called Lounge No. 3. If Dio hadn't just mentioned that Lounge No. 3 was transformed from the original prison cell No. 3, Liu Xing would have thought that he was in a certain place. In the presidential suite of a five-star hotel.

It is indeed an evil form of capitalism. Building a prison is so extravagant and wasteful.

At the door of Lounge No. 3, Dior began to introduce Robert's situation to Liu Xing, "When our Dream Club was established, President Robert was unanimously elected as the president of the Dream Club. This is because President Robert Born in a famous family in England, he has many resources in his hands that are very beneficial to our dreams. For example, this secret prison was 'taken over' by President Robert with all his efforts. Of course, President Robert's He is also a very good person, deeply respected and trusted by our members of the Dream Club. However, no one is perfect. As an old nobleman in England, President Robert is facing people from other countries, even Scotland and Wales. People are full of a sense of superiority, so now the members who come to our Dream Club offline gathering are basically from England, Chris, you know what I mean."

Liu Xing nodded, expressing his understanding.

After all, England was an empire on which the sun never set, and the sense of superiority among its aristocrats has not faded at all even after more than ten years, even though the British Empire at that time had degenerated into the Great Britain without even an ocean-going fleet. They are almost unable to get it together, but they still don't change their true nature as a troublemaker, standing up to bully some things that are beyond their control and they are not worthy of taking care of.

So although Liu Xing is smiling now, his heart is full of contempt for Robert, who has never been masked before, and he also understands why the Dream Club has not developed and grown.

You must know that in Liu Xing's view, if Robert can play his cards well, then he has every chance to build the Dream Society into an emerging transnational secret church. After all, humans who have been dreamed by Cthulhu can be said to be from all over the world. As a result, non-English Dream Club members were unwilling to attend offline gatherings because of Robert's racial discrimination.

Therefore, Liu Xing knew that the current dream would not be of much use, because this might really be just a "patients' mutual aid group."

"Okay, let's go in now. Chris, when you see President Robert, you can be a little more intimate, because President Robert has many relatives and acquaintances working in the police. Knowing President Robert will be very helpful to you, Chris. There will be a lot of benefits in terms of work." Dior patted Liu Xing on the shoulder and said.

After Dior finished speaking, he took Liu Xing into the inner room of Lounge No. 3.

In the inner room, an old man who looked to be in his seventies or eighties was reading a newspaper with a pipe in his mouth.

"Dior, long time no see." Robert put down the newspaper and said.

Dio nodded and said with a smile: "President Robert, you are right. We haven't met each other for several years. This is the new guy in our dream meeting - Chris. He currently works in the London Police Department. .”

Robert raised his eyebrows and said with some surprise: "You are Chris. I have heard of your name a long time ago because one of my grandsons serves in the police academy where you are studying, so I know that Chris Reese, your professional performance is very good. I didn’t expect that you would join our Dream Club. This is very good news for our Dream Club. After all, the members of our Dream Club are mainly ordinary people, and there are also There are many so-called artists, so it can be said that none of the members of our Dream Club can fight in the dream."

Liu Xing chuckled, but he was complaining in his heart that even in the real world, fully armed members of the Dream Club might not be able to defeat the deep divers in a single fight.

But then again, if Liu Xing hadn't known that Robert was a racist, Liu Xing might still think that Robert was a good elder, because as a nobleman, Robert did not put on airs in front of himself, a commoner.

Of course, Liu Xing knew that the reason why Robert treated him like this was because most of Cthulhu's dream targets were middle-aged/young/elderly artists who were powerless, so people with outstanding business abilities like himself The police are a "precious resource" for the Dream Club, and secondly, because "Chris" is a pure-blooded Englishman.

In addition, what surprised Liu Xing was that the relationship between Robert and Dior seemed to be very good.

After the three of Liu Xing exchanged pleasantries, they began to get down to business.

"President Robert, you should already know that the Corpse Cult plans to recruit us to deal with a group of fanatic believers who believe in Cthulhu in our dreams, and according to the information provided by the Corpse Cult, those who believe in Cthulhu The fanatics have already entered the city of London, and the most important thing is that they are very likely to be harmful to us in our dreams."

Robert sighed and said helplessly: "Dio, you must know more about the Corpse Cult than I do, so you should know that the Corpse Cult is not a good thing. I think they are no longer satisfied with it. We are operating underground, so I am worried that our cooperation with the Corpse Cult is to seek skin from a tiger. When the Corpse Cult comes to use a false plan to destroy Guo, we will be in trouble. And Dio, you also know that most of the members of our dream society are They are just idiots, so we can’t expect them to fight against those fanatical believers who believe in Cthulhu, not to mention those fanatic believers who believe in Cthulhu may have the support of deep divers.”

Dio nodded and said with a worried look on his face: "I think so too. Nine out of ten members of our Dream Club will not be able to use firearms, and they have already been raped by those deep divers in their dreams. They are scared out of their wits, so they are just a group of cannon fodder, but to put it bluntly, the reason why those guys from the Corpse Food Cult came to us to discuss cooperation is because they hope that we can be used as cannon fodder to help them consume the enemy's strength."

Liu Xing nodded silently. From the current situation, it seems that the Corpse Eater Cult really wants to use Dreams as cannon fodder, or to contain the followers of Cthulhu.

After Robert pondered for a moment, he said, "So Dio, what do you think now? Should we try to cooperate with the Corpse Cult, but the cooperation does not involve combat."

Dio was silent for a long time this time, then shook his head and said: "President Robert, your idea may be a bit unrealistic, because even if the Corpse Food Cult makes concessions to us, and ostensibly agrees to our request, they will turn around. They might betray us and let those damn fish people come to us for trouble, so as long as we choose to cooperate with the Corpse Eater Cult, we will be in trouble."

"Then what if we choose to refuse?" Robert said with an ugly face.

Dio sighed and said with a wry smile: "I'm afraid the situation will get worse. After all, President Robert, you also know the methods of the Corpse Food Cult. They are not an easy master to deal with. If we choose to reject the Corpse Food Cult's methods, If cooperation is required, then the Corpse Cult may appear to be indifferent on the surface, but secretly they are trying to find opportunities to stab us, such as revealing what happened in our dreams..."

Robert put down the pipe in his hand and said in a daze: "If those fanatical believers in Cthulhu know about the existence of our dreams, then they will definitely find ways to cause trouble for us. After all, in their eyes, we are All heretics must die... Forget it, we still choose to agree to the Corpse Cult's request for cooperation, so that at least the Corpse Cult is our ally on the surface."

At this moment, Dio suddenly asked: "Chris, what do you think?"

Liu Xing raised his eyebrows, not expecting Dior to ask himself this question at this time.

However, Liu Xing got wise and said seriously: "I want to ask a question first, that is, are there any other powerful secret churches in the city of London besides the Corpse Food Cult? Since now We are already sure that the Corpse Cult is just using us, so even if we become superficial allies with the Corpse Cult, if we encounter trouble later, the Corpse Cult will not come to help us, so we have to find it for ourselves first. What a great home.”

Robert's eyes lit up and he said with a smile: "London is an international metropolis. Naturally, there are secret churches with their headquarters in London. However, the strength of most of these secret churches is not worth mentioning. For our dream In terms of the current situation of the Central Committee, there is no need to cooperate, but I do know that there are two secret churches with good strength, which may be able to solve our current siege, because the strength of these two secret churches is not inferior to the Corpse Food Cult. "

"The first secret church is called Lake God Gate. The believers of Lake God Gate believe in a god who only appears in lakes. This god will not only give its believers great power, but also make its believers Immortality, so I heard that there are several old people who have lived for hundreds of years in the Lake God Sect. Their strength is stronger than ordinary deep divers, but the most important thing is that the Lake God Sect has no competition with the world. Basically, There is no conflict with other secret churches, and their external attitude is quite friendly, so we might actually have a chance to cooperate with the Lake God Sect."

"As for another powerful secret church called Shenzong, this secret church is more mysterious, because apart from the name Shenzong, I know that their scope of activities is near London. It can be said that you can't find it outside of London. There are traces of Shenzong’s activities, and the identities of Shenzong believers are also very mysterious. Currently, there are only two Shenzong believers whose identities I know, so it may be a bit troublesome to cooperate with Shenzong.”

Liu Xing knew that the Lake God Sect in Robert's mouth should refer to those Glachi believers, while Shenzong refers to Miss Wang and the others.

"According to what you said, President Robert, it would be better for us to go to Hushen Sect to discuss cooperation now. After all, we know too little about Shenzong, and judging from Shenzong's behavior, it is very likely that they will reject us. The most important thing is that Shenzong may not be able to deal with those fanatical believers who believe in Cthulhu. After all, if they are really powerful, they will not be so careful in doing things." Dio put forward his own idea.

Robert nodded and said: "Yes, I also think that we should first go to Hushenmen to discuss cooperation. If that fails, we can then go to Shenzong to cooperate. However, Dio, you may not know something because you have lived in Manchester these years. This Shen Sect is quite powerful and has wiped out many secret churches overnight."

Seeing that Robert and Dior had reached a consensus, Liu Xing naturally couldn't say anything else. After all, Liu Xing was just a newcomer who had just joined the Dream Club, so even if Liu Xing knew that Dream Club would cooperate with Hushenmen, he was still seeking skin from a tiger. In other words, he was sold to others and had to count the money, but Liu Xing felt that it was better not to express his opinions casually.

Anyway, for Liu Xing, the destruction of the dream society had nothing to do with him.

After making up his mind, Robert took Liu Xing and Dior to the lobby for a meeting.

At this time, there were hundreds of people sitting in the hall.

Because the layout of the hall was a bit like the English Parliament next door, Liu Xing still felt a little guilty when the members of the Dream Club sitting on both sides turned to look at him, or to be precise, at Robert beside him.

After all, these hundreds of people were all wearing masks of various colors, which looked a little weird under the slightly dim light.

Liu Xing and Dior found two empty seats and sat down, while Robert walked to the podium in the middle of the hall and announced that the emergency meeting of the Dream Club had officially begun.

After brewing his emotions for a while, Robert said seriously: "Dear members of the Dream Club, the reason why I suddenly informed you to attend today's emergency meeting is because our Dream Club encountered a big trouble, a Our dreams may become a big trouble in history - those fanatical believers who believe in the evil god Cthulhu have come to London, and they may also have Cthulhu's evil minions with them - deep Submarines, so now we have reason to suspect that these damn guys are coming for us!"

As soon as Robert finished speaking, hundreds of people in the hall took a breath of cold air in unison.

Then, the discussion suddenly started.
