my cthulhu game

Chapter 27 Super travel is wrong... (Please recommend tickets!)
"Why are you here?" Seeing the unconscious man on the ground, Shi Li asked.

"This is my problem," Bai Shaobao asked, "Also, who is this?"

When he saw Shi Li fighting with someone, he rushed up without even thinking about it. On one side was the girl teammate, and on the other was the ugly male NPC. What should I do?

"I was assigned the status of a bartender by the system," Shi Li said carelessly, "and then I ran here..."

"...What are you doing here? This is the stairs leading to the underground parking lot!"

"...I want to find out if there is any way to prevent the press conference from continuing by setting off the fire alarm without anyone noticing when necessary. After thinking about it, I think it is better to start from the basement... "

Bai Shaobao: "..."

I thought my thoughts were out of the ordinary enough, but it turned out there was another one that was even more out of the ordinary.

"So I just beat up an innocent person who was brave enough to stop you from wreaking havoc?" Bai Shaobao, who really couldn't think of how to complain, rolled his eyes.

"That's not true! He hasn't done anything yet!" Shi Li stared, "I bumped into this man when I went downstairs, he couldn't speak clearly, and he was messy, so I kicked him..."

[Bai Shaobao failed the psychology test 72/10]

"alright."

Bai Shaobao felt that Shi Li was half-covering it up, but it was just a man's instinct that kept him from dwelling on this issue.

In fact, what Shili said was completely true...

"What are you going to do now?" Shili asked cheerfully.

"Gather intelligence."

"Why don't you go with sister Qiu and the others?"

"I don't worry about being alone."

"Who?"

"Chen Qiang." Bai Shaobao said.

Shili said nothing.

"I suspect he is from the game company." Bai Shaobao said calmly.

In my impression, Chen Qiang just told himself not to say that he is the CEO of "Fortress of Reason".

Shirley rolled her eyes.

"You are classmates."

"Yes."

"But you don't know each other well."

"We don't know each other."

[Shi Li's Psychology Test 35/63 succeeded] (Chen Qiang, who was peeping in the dark, noticed keenly that the subject of the test this time changed from the character Alison Smith to the player Shi Li)
"I also think he is the most suspicious," Shi Li happily extended her hand to Bai Shaobao, "It's a pleasant cooperation."

"Happy cooperation," Bai Shaobao heaved a sigh of relief, "Then let's exchange information first."

……

at the same time.

Chen Qiang walked into the banquet hall leisurely.

Security is much more lax than he imagined.

It seems that players need space to make trouble, and so do villains...

He looked at his mechanical watch.There are only 5 minutes left before the banquet begins.

Chen Qiang has two purposes.

First, try to squeeze everyone's virtual sanity value and fill up your own sanity pool.

Second, clear this module and achieve the task of "exploration rate 75%".

Contradictory, but not impossible.

"Shi Li and Xiao Bai are still on the stairs in the parking lot. Their level is stronger than I expected."

"Sister Qiu...well, she at least provided useful equipment..."

"Tu Lizhu? She is seriously thinking about the main plot. She will probably become an intelligence source for Shi Li and Xiao Bai."

Facing the investigators who acted on the premise of "what will happen tonight", Chen Qiang suddenly felt that if they were left alone, they might have a [-]% to [-]% chance of surviving to the end of the game.

But that kind of customs clearance is like directly gank Wei Yuanshan by crossing "The Court of Carcosa", if the exploration rate does not reach 75%, it will be troublesome.

"The villains... don't know that there is a group of 'players' making trouble right under their noses."

Maintaining the balance of "positive" and "negative" is Chen Qiang's way of keeping secrets.

……

If there is anyone among the investigators who wants to use the positive attack method to clear the level at this time, it is Tu Lizhu and Sister Qiu who are thinking hard in the lobby.

Just now an old police officer asked them about the corpse that fell from the sky, and she answered them truthfully.

[Christina Tu’s psychology test was 66/70 successful]

[Alice Autumn’s psychology test was 51/51 successful]

Although the old police officer with a gray beard had a friendly smile, the two girls still instinctively realized that there was something strange hidden behind that smile.

...Everything is so normal.

A middle-aged man fell from the sky and died.However, the guests coming and going were still discussing the upcoming banquet and press conference with great interest, as if this man's death had not left any shadow on people's hearts.

They panicked, ran away, and returned to their original place, as if the tragedy had never happened.

Even the British police officers who rushed to the scene immediately, although everyone was doing their duty, Tu Lizhu and Sister Qiu still found a trace of routine and perfunctory in everyone's speech and behavior.

"No, this is just because this is a game and the NPC settings are not precise enough." Tu Lizhu told herself not to think too much.

She took out her small pink notebook and began to record the current information on it.Compared with digital devices such as mobile phones, paper and pen can make her thoughts clearer.

"This is a copy of horror and suspense. In any copy, no matter what the player will face in the end..."

She wrote a few lines in the notebook.

"The key issues can be summarized like this..."

"Who", "where", "how", "what".

"No, don't start with the murder." Sister Qiu saw Tu Lizhu's notes and put forward her own opinion. "Your logic is wrong. We should start the analysis from the real first incident after entering the module."

"But sister Qiu," Tu Lizhu didn't know why, "the first incident we encountered was that corpse that fell from the sky..."

"The first incident we encountered," Sister Qiu said after taking a deep breath, "is the introduction of this story itself."

"The introduction itself? Oh...it's our character, being invited to this place."

"Hmm. The system... the opening remarks of the keeper made me flustered."

"'You are invited to the Earl of Glamorgan Hotel, to attend the launch of Hideki Yoshikawa's new book Curse of the Hanged King'—is that?"

She began to write Juanxiu's handwriting in her notebook.

Who—of course it’s Hideki Yoshikawa.

Where - the Earl of Glamorgan Hotel.

What to do - hold a new work conference.

"Keeper," Sister Qiu asked, "We... well, Christina Tu, who has the highest credit rating among us, how did she get invited?"

[You have received an invitation letter signed by Hideki Yoshikawa.Each invitation letter can bring three friends into the venue. 】

But so far, no one has checked the invitation letter, Tu Lizhu thought.

"Where is that letter now?" Tu Lizhu asked.

[In your bag.If you want to see it yourself, you can always take it out of the bag. 】

"Don't take it." Sister Qiu suddenly thought of something and lowered her voice.

[Have you read it? 】The mechanical voice became more and more indifferent.

　It’s a new week, please vote for me...
