my cthulhu game

Chapter 251 Chen·Start Again·Strong
Downtown Arkham.

Harriet Potsford Women's Flat.

This is a female-only apartment and male visitors are only allowed in the lobby.The front desk manager was helping the Coolidges check the roster of guests, and the couple frowned.

When Coolidge's niece Lily visited Arkham, the couple's secretary suggested the apartment as a place to stay.It is a safe and affordable option for women who are staying for a month or two.However, Lily was not on the guest list.

"Maybe she lived in a dormitory elsewhere with one of her senior sisters." Mrs. Coolidge said worriedly.

"Let's look for it again." Mr. Coolidge looked calm, but there was also anxiety in his eyes.

……

It felt different from when he entered the virtual world before. Chen Qiang felt as if he had been sleeping in darkness for a long time.

The familiar space covered with stone slabs and filled with mist did not appear, and the sound of the system just echoed in Chen Qiang's ears.

[In this mod, except for "Investigator's Eye", other investigator talents are forbidden to use]

"……understood."

"Original" Cthulhu that doesn't let you see anything but the result of the dice?understood.It seems that the system does not allow me to complete the module easily.

[Please check your character card before starting the mod.Once the mod starts, you will not be able to view your character status]

"..."

【Name: Chen Qiang】

【HP11/11；MP16/16；SAN80/99】

...It's probably a module similar to "Qiang En Chen", Chen Qiang guessed.

"The upper limit of sanity has also been restored? But the occupation and age are not displayed..."

【力量65；体质50；体型65；敏捷70；外貌65；

Intelligence 75; Will 80; Education 45]

It is completely its own attribute, but education has been greatly reduced.

[Charisma 36%; computer use 35%; car driving 35%;

Speaking skills 66% (“It’s a bit low.” Chen Qiang said in his heart); foreign language (English) 36%;

Foreign language (Russian) 6%; native language (Chinese) 45%; library use 51%;

Credit rating 5% ("So poor!" Chen Qiang complained from the bottom of his heart);

Listening 70%; persuasion 35%; psychology 50%; detection 66%]

No doubt a far cry from my "normal" self, but common skills like spotting and listening are barely passable.

【You, Chen Qiang】

[When you were very young, the sudden death of your cousin Chen Jian dealt a big blow to your family]

"...?"

【Your disabled father is very depressed; the family situation is going from bad to worse】

[You who can't afford to go to college, you have to work in the north and south of the river]

Isn't this what I experienced before my rebirth?Chen Qiang thought.The Cthulhu running group was a rare entertainment for me at that time.

My own rebirth brought me to this Cthulhu world.Being foresighted about everything, I saved my cousin's life, and successfully cheered up my father, changing this gloomy life.

[Later, you moved to Siberia and worked in a hotel run by an Englishman.The owner is from the Severn Valley in England. His ancestors are a simple farmer and he takes good care of you.You hardly understand Russian, and after remitting most of your income to the country, you live a life of poverty]

...I did have the experience of going abroad to work, but I have no impression of this experience mentioned in the module description, Chen Qiang thought.

There is no such thing in memory.

Leaving aside the existence of the "Cthulhu Running Game" in the world of the previous life, the evil gods only exist in novels and settings. With my own understanding of Cthulhu's settings, even if I go abroad to work, I can It must not have anything to do with "England's Severn Valley", a dangerous place as famous as "Arkham Town".

There are several Old Ones entrenched around here.The residents from the Severn Valley may be zombie servants transformed by the lake demon Glaaki (Glaaki), or implanted with worms by the labyrinth god Eihort (Eihort).

The gods of the Severn Vale are not terribly powerful, but they are still terribly terrifying to humans.However, in the virtual world, Chen Qiang would not mind having a fight with the servants of Graki or Eiholt if there was an organization like "Green Delta".

However, thinking of the big "memory impairment" in his list of mental illnesses, Chen Qiang became uncertain about whether his memory was accurate.

【It was also a calm morning, you woke up in your sleep...】

……

Chen Qiang opened his eyes.

In front of me is a dilapidated attic, full of all kinds of old goods, from dusty old desk calendars to rusty children's bicycles, only the place where my bed is still clean.

There was a musty smell in the cool air.

"...I'm not used to it anymore." Chen Qiang laughed at himself.

Chen Qiang has indeed experienced this kind of life before, but, as a person with 90.00% credit, Chen Qiang still feels a little uncomfortable with his sudden poverty.

At least I don't live in a dormitory, Chen Qiang thought.

This is also the only place that makes Chen Qiang feel lucky.This attic is too small to accommodate another person.Living alone may be better for hiding investigators' secrets than living in a dormitory-after all, with only five credits, I am a complete pauper.

Qin Lingxue was not around.

It seems that she was arranged elsewhere by the system, Chen Qiang thought to himself.

"Mobile phone..."

There are two mobile phones next to the hard pillow, one of which looks extremely worn out, the screen has cracked a few big cracks, and it is still in service.

Next to the old phone is a brand new fruit phone with a beautiful dark red phone case and a lovely apple pendant.

"...Needless to say, I know which one belongs to me." Chen Qiang smiled wryly.

He picked up the broken cell phone.The other phone also needs to be investigated, but let's take a look at my own phone first.

The displayed date was last autumn, and Chen Qiang couldn't remember where he was before he was reborn - most likely he was working in D University, Uncle Xu's ice cream shop.

The network signal is intermittent, but the GPS positioning can still be used.

"In the current Russian territory, the Stanov Mountains... and it's far from the nearest city."

Speaking of which, it's really cold here...

……

at the same time.

Qin Lingxue found herself staying on the train - the train traveled slowly along the country railway over mountains and mountains.Outside the window are endless mountains, and occasionally there are old houses that have passed by.

There was a bit of chill in the air.

"What's the matter, Xiaoxue?" Cecilu, who was sitting next to Xiaoxue, waved her hand vigorously in front of her eyes.

"Ah...it's okay!" Qin Lingxue said repeatedly.

She suddenly reacted...

The Cecile in front of her is not a "player", but an "NPC" in the module.Qin Yixian and Bai Shaobao who were sitting opposite her were probably in the same situation.

"The town's station is ahead." NPC Qin Yixian glanced at his watch and said gently.

"Bai Shaobao... er... classmate?" Qin Lingxue looked at Bai Shaobao suspiciously, a little unsure if this group belonged to the "Fortress of Reason" or the Qin family or "Green Delta".

"It's been three months since I joined the 'Green Delta'," Baiyir Kukedi from Oroqen, a white-clothed youth named Bai Shaobao in Chinese, complained. "It's the first time you call me a 'classmate'."

"This time we are contacting the mysterious being on behalf of the Qin family and the Green Delta at the same time," Qin Yixian instructed, "Xiaoxue, I know you are under a lot of pressure, but don't screw it up."

　Stanov Mountain, that is, Outer Xing'an Mountains.A part of this story about the setting of mythology comes from the TOC module "Smashing Box" (also translated as "Tearing Box").
