my cthulhu game

Chapter 252 "The Descendant" and Human Observation
The brothers and sisters of the Qin family are not quite used to the climate of Siberia, but Cecilu and Bai Shaobao behave much more naturally.

There were only four of them passengers on the small platform, and the name of the town "Maxim Sharpness" was written crookedly on the rusty stop sign.

"I've heard some anecdotes about this place," Qin Yixian said, "In this ravine, there are some... puzzling phenomena."

"Is there any sighting report about the monster?" Xiaoxue asked suspiciously.

"No, it's an earthquake." Qin Yixian replied solemnly.

"Earthquake?" Xiaoxue blinked.

[Qin Lingxue Cthulhu myth test failed 92/11]

It seems that Chen Qiang told her about the relationship between creatures and earthquakes, but she couldn't remember it for a while.Moreover, there is no guarantee that the earthquake was caused by that terrible creature.

"Since there were earthquake records in Suzhou, until now, there have been [-] minor earthquakes in this small town," Qin Yixian said, "It's not just a coincidence or a reason that human science cannot understand. Whenever an earthquake occurs in this small town , in a distant place..."

He paused: "The city of Brichester in the Severn Valley of the United Kingdom, and the city of Arkham in Massachusetts, the United States, the same slight earthquake will erupt in these two places. These three places are almost half a world apart, but Similar quakes always occur at the same time, but as if connected by an unidentifiable 'seismic belt'."

"..."

"The magnitude and intensity are slightly different, but they are all minor earthquakes with no loss," added Bai Shaobao, who had done his homework in advance. "Erupted at the same time and ended at the same time, because the magnitude of the earthquake was mild, and it never caused any strong damage."

Bai Shaobao had dark circles under his eyes, and Qin Lingxue wondered if he suffered from insomnia last night.

"Anyway, we don't want to fight the earthquake," Cecilu yawned boredly. "It's just a negotiation task. If you finish things early, you can go back to your hometown for vacation."

Everyone quickly left the station.Xiaoxue, who was walking last, hesitated for a while.

"Have you ever heard of...Chen Qiang, or 'Fortress of Reason'?" She still couldn't help asking.

"Fortress of sanity?"

Everyone showed strange looks.

"No, I've never heard of this person and this... what fortress," Qin Yixian thought for a while, and looked at his sister in confusion, "What is that?"

"It sounds like a mercenary organization." Cecilu crossed her arms.

"It may also be a game company, but with all due respect, if this is really a game company," Bai Shaobao complained, "The name is as interesting as the instructor of the college student entrepreneurship center in our D University."

Qin Lingxue blinked her eyes.

The reaction of the teammates was almost as expected.

There is no "fortress of reason" in this world, and everyone doesn't know Chen Qiang. They are just working as normal agents of "Green Delta", coming to this small Russian town to meet a mysterious person.

"fine……"

Qin Lingxue smiled and shook her head.

"I was just asking. Looks like I remembered wrongly," she said.

Qin Lingxue's expression was very natural, almost seamless; but Qin Yixian still read a slight unnaturalness from his sister's behavior.

Qin Lingxue is very good at hiding her thoughts, Qin Yixian thought.

Always.

[Qin Yixian's Psychology Test 1/40 Great Success]

"Well……"

The eldest son of the Qin family seemed to have realized something, and nodded slightly.

The one named Chen Qiang probably meant something to Qin Lingxue, but Qin Yixian didn't intend to force his sister to tell the truth.

"It's nothing." Qin Yixian said gently.

[Qin Lingxue failed the psychology test 92/36]

Qin Lingxue didn't have the "investigator's eye", so she couldn't see the results of the dice, nor did she notice the strange flashing eyes of her brother.

She is so focused on... she just wants to see Chen Qiang as soon as possible.

……

Chen Qiang did not find the "Cthulhu's Secret Keeper" APP on his mobile phone, and there was no WIFI in the hotel, and the signal was intermittent, which annoyed him very much.

He wanted to check whether there was an American writer named "Howard Phillips Lovecraft" in the world, or whether there was a Cthulhu Run game, but he couldn't connect to the Internet.

"Damn..."

If he could access the Internet, he would at least be able to determine whether the world he was in was a branch of the peaceful world in his previous life, or a branch of the Cthulhu world.

He also installed a "Fate-Grand Instructions" game on his mobile phone. There were also characters related to the Cthulhu world in this game in his previous life.The content of "Fate-Grand Instructions" in the Cthulhu world is similar to the previous life, but the details of all chapters related to Cthulhu have become slightly different, at least not related to the real mystery.

Looking at the text of the game, you may also be able to determine whether the Cthulhu myth in this world is real or "fictional".

But don't say that this attic dormitory is not connected to the Internet, even if it can be connected, it will take a long time to check the content, and I am poor and have no money, and I don't necessarily have those few SSRs related to the Great Evil God. Cards... Speaking of which, why are the "classes" of those cards classified?

It seems to be "the descendant"?
"...I'd better look at another phone."

There was no fingerprint or password lock on the phone, so Chen Qiang unlocked it directly.Looking at other people's mobile phones like this doesn't seem very good - but Chen Qiang thinks there is nothing strange about this mobile phone. QQ, WeChat, some office apps, Jiehu, there are no messy games and forums, but the pink desktop background makes people feel The owner is a girl.

Chen highlighted the photo album and clicked on a selfie.It was a familiar female face.

"What? It's Shili."

Chen Qiang flipped down the album.

"Why... so it's just Shi Li's cell phone? No. Wait."

Although Shi Li was one of the first batch of employees of Sanity Fortress, I did not notice what kind of mobile phone Shi Li used...

Half of the album is Shi Li's life photos, including selfies and travel photos, as well as pictures of her and her boyfriend Bai Shaobao together.

"...It's the usual Shili. But..."

Starting from a certain point a few months ago, the style of the photos suddenly changed.

Shirley herself disappeared from the picture.

Instead, the photos capture the noisy city streets, the bustling crowd at the main entrance of the commercial building, the fire hydrant at the corner of the escape staircase, the interior of a disassembled laptop, the historical bookshelves of the library, students doing eye exercises, the subway security checkpoint, Cats (the only one that stays the same), blocked overpasses, endless farmland, winding mountain roads...

["Chen Qiang" Cthulhu Mythos check 39/55 success]

... This number of Cthulhu Mythos skills is his real person's, Chen Qiang thought.

"These photos look like some kind of strange human observation...this...isn't Shili, it's Ice attached to her."

Sure enough, it is still the Cthulhu universe, Chen Qiang thought.

Photos are as of one week ago.Chen Qiang clicked on the last photo.

Unlike the previous life photos or "human observation", it was something he had never seen before.

"This is..." Chen Qiang suddenly had a strange feeling, and the things in the photo gave him a strange sense of familiarity.
