Real Cthulhu Running Game

After all, no matter how good the reward is, it is not as important as your own life.

After making up his mind, Liu Xing decided to let everything go. If he found the mysterious person L before the wedding was over, of course it would be the best; if he couldn't find it, it wouldn't matter. Anyway, there was no hidden mission this time. What a punishment.

Looking at Liu Xing who was distracted again, Dior said seriously: "Chris, what are you thinking about? Did you not sleep well last night, so your current mental state is not right?"

Liu Xing came back to his senses, shook his head and said: "It's okay, I was just thinking that there is definitely something wrong with that murder case. In all likelihood, it was Locke's co-defendant and the victim who was killed by the mysterious man L. After all, things will happen. Such a coincidence that a murderer suddenly appears who is dressed exactly like the defendant and even has a similar body shape?"

Dio shrugged and said: "After reading the files on this murder case, everyone will basically have the same idea as Chris, thinking that Locke, the defendant and the mysterious man L are in the same group. Unfortunately, it is not the case now." There is no evidence to prove this, and it is as if the mysterious man L does not exist. The French police have not yet investigated any clues related to the mysterious man L, so so far this murder case has almost become a mystery. There’s no end to the mystery.”

Liu Xing sighed. Although he said so, judging from the current situation, the mysterious man L is not the murderer, and he is not even an accessory. Even the mysterious man L is still a victim, otherwise the mysterious man L would not Take revenge on Locke today.

So, who is this mysterious person L?

Liu Xing began to feel pain in his head again. . . To be precise, Liu Xing's head pain has not eased since the start of this module.

Sure enough, the Cthulhu Run game is a team cooperation game, and it is too troublesome to play alone.

Now, Liu Xing begins to miss Yin En, Zhang Jingxu, Zhang Wenbing and others.

"Okay, Chris, you probably won't be able to figure out the reason for that murder for a while, so I'm going to tell you about Locke's other things now?" Dio said, taking a sip of wine.

Liu Xing nodded and said with a smile: "Of course, but what I'm more curious about now is, do Locke's relatives and friends really not know that he is a ghoul?"

Dio thought for a while, shook his head and said, "I'm really not sure about this. After all, Chris, you should also know that Locke's family has been passed down for thousands of years, so there are about two hundred members of the clan still alive. Therefore, although my friend is a famous detective in England, it is impossible to investigate all Locke's clan members at the same time. Therefore, my friend only investigated those closest relatives to Locke, and found that those people should not know. Locke has become a ghoul."

"But among these relatives, my friend discovered that Locke had some ulterior relationship with his cousin Jennifer... Chris, you should also know very well that the upper class of us in England, or most of Europe, In order to ensure the purity of their family bloodlines, nobles would choose incest. Although in modern times, due to the continuous improvement of genetics, incest marriages have become less and less common, this 'tradition' has still been preserved."

Liu Xing looked at Dior in confusion. He didn't expect Dior to drive suddenly at this time.

But having said that, this is indeed a good handle to use against Locke. After all, Locke is now a public figure, so if his inappropriate relationship with his cousin is made public, I am afraid Locke will really have no choice but to use "food" "Ghoul" has become his main profession.

Therefore, Liu Xing touched his chin and said: "Dior, has any of your friends got any substantive evidence to prove that the things he investigated are true and credible? Maybe we can let Locke do a 'social test' first die'?"

Dio raised his eyebrows, shook his head and said: "Unfortunately, my friend did not get any substantial evidence. After all, with Locke's current status, it is difficult for my friend to follow Locke 24 hours a day, especially Go to some very private places, so the reason why my friend was able to determine that Locke was having an affair with his cousin was basically based on some important clues that were completed through inference."

At this moment, KP Time stood up again and said: "Congratulations to the player for triggering another hidden mission of this module - the ulterior relationship. If the player can get proof that there is some ulterior relationship between Locke and Jennifer, important evidence of human relationship, then the player can choose to give this evidence to Jennifer or Locke's wife Rosa, and then the player can get completely different rewards... But Liu Xing, you don't have to look forward too much to this hidden secret The reward for the mission, because this hidden mission has nothing to do with the main plot of this module.”

Is there such an operation?

Liu Xing really didn't expect that this kind of thing could become a hidden mission. However, although Liu Xing didn't expect much good rewards for completing this hidden mission, Liu Xing was still curious about what he would do if he handed the evidence to Locke. What reward will wife Rosa receive.

As for what kind of reward he would get if he handed the evidence to Locke, Liu Xing felt that it would be better not to try casually. . .

But having said that, since this hidden mission appeared at this time, Liu Xing felt that it was necessary for him to take a walk in the manor now, and maybe he could meet Locke and Jennifer who were having a tryst.

Thinking of this, Liu Xing said to Dior: "Dior, why don't we take a walk in the manor now? If Locke can't help but fight us to death after you expose Locke's true identity later, we can also advance There is a suitable escape route.”

Faced with Liu Xing's proposal, Dior said with a smile: "Actually, I am already prepared to die together with Locke, so when the time comes, Chris, just mingle with the crowd. If there is a disturbance, just follow the guests and leave the manor." , I will definitely not expose your existence, but we can indeed take a walk around the manor now, anyway, the wedding will not officially start for another hour."

Liu Xing sighed, stood up and said, "Dior, are you sure you want to die with Locke?"

Dio nodded, took out a small cross from his arms and said: "This cross is a good thing I got from a magician named Gary when I was at the Flower Cemetery. Just insert the tip of this cross into Locke." In his body, Locke will directly remove his disguise and turn back into a ghoul."

Gary?

Liu Xing frowned, pretending to be surprised and said: "Dior, the Gary you are talking about should be the owner of the Eins Castle in Manchester. I heard that he seems to be a member of the Corpse Food Cult, so how could he be like this? Plant something, and why would he give this kind of thing to you?"

Dio chuckled and said in a pretense of mystery: "Actually, I got this thing from Gary, because I had a very good relationship with Gary when we were at Flower Cemetery. After all, I can talk in a place like Flower Cemetery. The only human being is Gary, so Gary and I became good friends as soon as we went back and forth. One day Gary showed me this cross. To be exact, there were more than ten such crosses in Gary's hands, because these crosses were When Gary traveled abroad a few years ago, he accidentally discovered these crosses in an antique shop in Eastern Europe. He heard that these crosses were made by the Inquisition in the Middle Ages to deal with the mythical creatures that could turn into humans."

When Liu Xing heard the word "Inquisition", he couldn't help but think of the darkest chapter in the Middle Ages - the witch-hunting movement.

In three centuries, a total of more than 100,000 so-called witches were sentenced to death. In addition, many people were killed as werewolves, vampires and other supernatural creatures. In short, they were the religious forces in Europe.

A massacre created to "eliminate dissidents."

However, in the world of the Cthulhu Run game, a large number of mythical creatures and magicians did appear in the witch-hunting campaign, and even the Old Dominators appeared in some modules. Therefore, the Inquisition will It makes sense to create such a cross that can force mythical creatures to reveal their true identities. After all, many mythical creatures can be transformed into humans.

But then again, Liu Xing heard about a very special parallel world in the Cthulhu Running Game Hall.

The reason why this parallel world is very special is that the time point of most parallel worlds is either in modern times or around 1920, while the time point of that parallel world is in the Middle Ages.

Therefore, the modules in that parallel world are basically related to the witch-hunting movement, so the modules in that parallel world are very difficult. After all, that era can really be called gods fighting, and there are mythical creatures everywhere fighting against religion. The Priests and Paladins of the Inquisition fight passionately. Ordinary players will be hurt and die on the spot if they are not careful.

However, this parallel world is not something that players can enter through normal means, so Liu Xing has only heard of such a parallel world, but has never seen a player say that he has actually entered this parallel world.

"Because Gary is a member of the Corpse Cult, after getting these crosses, Gary would play with them when he had nothing to do. He never really tested the function of these crosses. After all, those ghouls in the Corpse Cult Gary's status is very high, and he didn't have the chance to find a ghoul to help him verify the authenticity of these crosses, so I told him that I could help him test whether these crosses were real or fake, lest Gary buy a bunch of fakes. I didn’t know it yet, but it turned out that Gary actually lent me these crosses temporarily, so I took the opportunity to change one of the crosses.” Dior said with a smile.

Liu Xing raised his eyebrows and said curiously: "So Dior, have you really tested these crosses?"

Dio shook his head and said: "How is that possible? Although I have a good relationship with the ghouls in the Flower Cemetery, I am not familiar with them to that extent yet, so I can be sure that if I dared to find those ghouls at that time, The ghoul tested the effect of the cross, so Chris you can’t see me now, so I finally told Gary that I gave up.”

As soon as Dior finished speaking, KP Time suddenly said to Liu Xing: "Do you want to make an inspiration judgment now?"

Inspiration determination?

Liu Xing frowned, knowing that at this time, KP asked him whether he wanted to pass the inspiration judgment, which meant that there was something wrong with the story Dior just told.

Therefore, Liu Xing decisively chose to make an inspiration judgment, although "Chris's" inspiration value was not too high.

Liu Xing, 16/50, successful.

The moment the inspiration judgment was successful, Liu Xing couldn't help but stretched out his hand and said: "Dior, can you give me this cross to take a look at?"

At this time, there was another sound of dice falling to the ground.

Liu Xing (persuasion), 49/70, successful.

Liu Xing raised his eyebrows. He didn't expect that this would be a series of judgments. Fortunately, his luck was still good this time.

Because Liu Xing's persuasion judgment was also successful, Dior handed the cross to Liu Xing after I hesitated for a moment.

The moment Liu Xing took the cross, the specific information about the cross appeared in Liu Xing's mind.

Forced teleportation cross (one-way/ghoul-only). When the tip of this cross is inserted into the ghoul's body, the ghoul will be teleported directly to the designated location.

PS: Players cannot use this item.

? ? ?

Liu Xing frowned. The effect of this cross was completely different from what Gary told Dior.

etc.

Liu Xing had a flash of inspiration and suddenly understood the ins and outs of this matter.

To put it simply, after Gary learned that Dio was friends with the ghouls in the Flower Cemetery, he wanted to use Dio's hand to teleport a ghoul to the Castle of Eins, so that Gary could Using Isabella to control the ghoul, in the end Gary only needs to kill Dio and he will die without any evidence.

As for Dior's cheating, Gary should also know about it, but because Gary also knew that Dior did this to deal with Locke, Gary pretended not to know. Anyway, he was the one who benefited in the end.

So if this is the case, then Liu Xing can be sure that the ghoul who killed Gary in the first official module should be Locke!

Realizing this, Liu Xing couldn't help but frown, because Liu Xing found that everything he encountered in this module paved the way for the modules he would experience in the "future".

So, if I can stop Dio from attacking Locke this time, will the "future" change?

No, am I changing the "past" in the "future", or changing the "future" in the "past", or am I changing the "past" in the "past"?

PS: Thanks to Qiu Shiyuhou for the tip.
