my cthulhu game

Chapter 32 Carcosa Day Trip
"Sister Qiu, please, don't go, don't go!" Tu Lizhu begged in a low voice.

But obviously, girls with an appearance (APP) of 65 are still more popular than men.Sister Qiu waved to everyone with her stiff arms, and everyone consciously made way for Sister Qiu, and some even applauded.

Female fans of Hideki Yoshikawa are rare, and his game is too difficult.

"Thank you everyone..." Sister Qiu greeted everyone with a very professional smile, and walked towards the fourth princess who had been adjusted by the staff. "Thank you, Mr. Ji Chuan and Mr. Chen, for giving me this opportunity..."

Sister Qiu's voice was very nice, so the crowd booed even harder.

what am i doing!Sister Qiu can't wait to punch herself in the head, they are a group of NPCs with no feelings, not your fans!

But when she came back to her senses, sister Qiu was already holding the handle and staring at the big screen.

"Sister Qiu..." Xiaotu in the audience lost his mind.

"The story takes place in a fictional city, Iti..." Hideki Yoshikawa lowered his voice as he introduced the plot, "The main character, Camilla, is the princess of the kingdom..."

"The old thief Yoshikawa, who pretends to be a hero, will take the initiative to introduce the plot?"

"It's over, it's over, the old thief will also have a day of transformation."

"I'm afraid I saw a fake Yoshikawa Hideki."

"The script must not have been written by him."

Yoshikawa Hideki smiled slightly.

"It is true that the original script was not written by me," he said nonchalantly, "the real author is an unknown French playwright, it was published in 1890, but it was banned the following year, and only a few fragments of the English translation survive. I try my best to restore the original work through these fragments, and express it in the form of games."

Fans burst out in awe.

"It turns out that the old thief Yoshikawa is also so educated."

"You just know that you are much more educated than you..."

"Cough!" Hideki Yoshikawa coughed, interrupting the chatter of fans, and continued to introduce the plot, "Iti is located by the lake. The queen of Iti, Kasiruda, suffers from paranoia and always feels that she is in the lake. On the other side of the river, there is an invisible city. Today, her daughter, Princess Camilla, is going to visit her..."

He signaled to sister Qiu that she could start.

……

Games start.

The picture presents a bird's-eye view of a lakeside palace and then shifts to a room inside the palace.The room was lacking in decoration, shabby and dated.Queen Casiluda in a long skirt and a silver crown stands in front of the window.

[Queen Casiluda broods in her room; mourning her passing blank past.

Darkness grows in the hearts of men, as the shadow of the sun stretches on the lake.

In the depths of Hyades, the two suns slowly fall into the flat lake;
The lost Carcosa stands in the mist, projecting the figure of a sky-reaching tower in the abyss. 】

The perspective shifts to give a close-up of the sky outside the window: the sky is pink, with two suns hanging from it.

No one spoke.Yoshikawa Hideki frowned, he thought this shot would win applause...

Except for Chen Qiang and Sayoko who always had their backs to the big screen, everyone at the scene was watching this cutscene video attentively, as if possessed by a demon.

At this point the camera returns to the room.Camilla in a crisp short dress—she looks exactly like Sayoko in the real world—appears, holding two skirts.

"Mother, do you like pink or green?" Camilla's voice sounded.

"I'm going to die," said Casiluda, "whenever I look at the lake at dusk, I can see Carcosa on the far side."

"Don't be kidding," Camilla said angrily, "I'm asking seriously, but you're talking about a city that doesn't exist. If the lost city is really on the other side of the lake, shouldn't someone have noticed it already ?"

"I'm sorry dear... I've been reading some old stories lately. They're making my head go weird," Kasyluda said.

"Mother... so please answer me. What do you want to wear at tomorrow's ceremony?" Kami relaxed her tone, "Pink or green?"

"Green." Kasiruda was absent-minded.

"You're going to get out of these houses and go outside," said Camilla, making a face, leaving the dress in her mother's room, and leaving.

"I should find a way to keep mother away from those illusions." Camilla said to herself.

Suddenly a hooded figure passed by in the distant corridor; Camilla was pressed against the wall, and the figure did not notice her.

【That's Uncle Adonis! 】The subtitles are played to show that this is Camilla's mental activity, 【He is sneaky, what is he going to do?He has always coveted his mother's throne. He thinks that his grandfather passed the throne to his mother because he prefers girls.I have to keep up with him. 】

The picture moved with Camilla's gaze, and landed on the sleeping guard.Camilla walked over quietly and picked up his sword and shield.

"Is it possible for one man to be a guard these days? It's a crude weapon; but it's better than nothing."

Camilla followed along the long corridor.

Tu Lizhu was in a daze—she suddenly realized that it was Qiu Jie who was manipulating Camilla.The surroundings are quiet, as if no one realizes that this place has entered the player's operation from the cutscene CG of the game.

Sister Qiu held the game controller expressionlessly.

[Played Camilla in the near-perfect "The King in Yellow" prologue]

【SC1D6/1D20】

[Alice Qiu's sanity test failed 69/35]

【1D20=17】

[Currently remaining 18 sanity points]

Tu Lizhu took out her mobile phone from her pocket—even if the screen in the game could not be synchronized to her real mobile phone, she wanted to do so.

But her phone couldn't turn on anymore.

[It was found that the communication was cut off, and all portable electronic devices can no longer be used, SC0/1]

[Christina Tu sanity check 59/69 success]

The remaining rationality told Tu Lizhu that she could not stay here any longer.This game is weird from beginning to end.

[Chen Qiang and Christina Tu will conduct a will attribute determination. 】

[Once it fails once, it will be judged again after 5 minutes until it succeeds]

[Chen Qiang succeeded in the will attribute test 7/80]

[Christina Tu failed the will attribute check 86/70]

Tu Lizhu still remained in place without moving.She watched Sister Qiu playing this game, as if this game possessed endless magic power.

In the screen, the battle of the first teaching level has already broken out.In the courtyard of the palace, Camilla in a cloak encountered a drunken guard who mistook Camilla for a female thief who had sneaked into the palace, and then the two started fighting.

The guard was extremely burly, almost twice the size of Camilla in terms of body size, wielding a long-handled machete, vigorously.But the Camilla controlled by Sister Qiu was more agile - she kept rolling on the ground, making the guard's attacks repeatedly miss.

"It's time to leave for a while." Breaking free from the magic power of "The King in Yellow", Chen Qiang thought in his heart.
