my cthulhu game

Chapter 45: A Wise Man Has Thousands of Concerns...

It's ten o'clock at night.

The western outskirts of D City, where the moon is dark and the wind is high.

After all, City D is a metropolis with a population of one million. These days, Chen Qiang took a break from his busy schedule and used the "Myth Map" function of his mobile phone to scan for the existence of myths. The west of the city, especially the western suburbs, has not had time to check.

And the "mission trigger point" indicated by the module is in the western suburbs that he has not investigated...

"The map shows the abandoned West City Theater," Chen Qiangxin said, "When you mention the theater, it reminds you of Hastur and "The King in Yellow", but since the difficulty is The Out Gods... look The mastermind behind this visit has nothing to do with Hastur."

The Outer God is a divine existence above the old rulers. Unlike the old masters such as Cthulhu and Hastur, who often present the horror of alien monsters, the Outer God is closer to pure nature. The personification of law.

Difficulty: The Out Gods is also the highest difficulty that the system can identify.

However, considering the difficulty of marking the "Cthulhu's Secret Keeper" system, Chen Qiang is not afraid.

Whenever there is a possibility of "Old Ones" appearing in the mod, the difficulty will be displayed as "Old Ones".

The difficulty of "The King in Yellow in the board game club" and "Curse of the Hanged King" are both "Old Lords", while the difficulty of the module "Summer Night Strange Talk" with only Uncle Xu as a ghoul appears is "Inferior Race".

In the same way, in the module whose difficulty is displayed as "Outer God", the unrivaled Outer God may not necessarily appear on the stage, and the high probability is just being summoned.

Whether it was the "King in Yellow in the Board Game Club" that happened in the real world, or the "Curse of the Hanged King" in the trial space, he finally prevented the coming of the old ruler.

Whether it's the Old Ones or Outer Gods, as long as they can't get out, there's nothing to be afraid of.Ultraman's task is to fight the monsters, and the investigator's task is to get rid of the things that make the monsters appear before the monsters come out.

The university town of City D is located in the eastern suburbs, and although the western suburbs are not as developed as the eastern suburbs, they are not inaccessible places. There is even a police station and a police school nearby. Chen Qiang's brother Chen Jian graduated here.It's hard to imagine any mythical creature that can summon the Outer God with great fanfare without attracting attention.

A zealot or a mythical creature who only dares to act stealthily...

As long as their details are confirmed, there is a high probability that they can be run over with the power of money.

"Uncle Xu, ride faster," Chen Qiang decided to focus on the moment, "It's almost 10:30."

"Xiao Chen..." Uncle Xu in the front seat looked like he wanted to remind but didn't dare to speak.

"What do you want to say, just say it." Chen Qiang, who was sitting in the back of the car, said.

"You have already said that there may be non-human races on the opposite side, so be careful, let's just... just ride three rounds in a fair manner, is it okay?"

Riding on the broken tricycle that Chen Qiang got from nowhere, carrying Chen Qiang wearing a tactical vest and a huge package (even a liquid nitrogen tank), the honest and responsible ghoul Uncle Xu finally couldn't help complaining.

Uncle Xu felt that running with Chen Qiang on his back in the form of a ghoul would be faster than this thing...

"I have my own considerations." Chen Qiang said gently.

That's right.

Chen Qiang informed the two to meet in the western suburbs in the evening, but before that, he did not wait for the passage of time.

Before the sun set, Chen Qiang carefully inspected the surrounding terrain from a safe distance without triggering the module, and planned more than three escape routes.

Under the strategy of money regardless of the cost, along the road that Uncle Xu was riding, a car with full gas was parked every 500 meters, and Chen Qiang could quickly start any one of them with the key hidden by himself.

"It's almost there." Chen Qiang's heart tightened as he looked at the dark shadows of the buildings in the distance.

There is only the last 550 meters left to the destination.

Chen Qiang also saw an unremarkable black pickup parked not far away.

After learning that this world is the world of Cthulhu mythology, he customized this real car for himself, and it finally arrived yesterday.

This seemingly ordinary pickup has been refitted in every detail. Not only is it powerful, but the glass and strengthened body can also withstand bullets for a while. It is a special protection model for top local tyrants.

If it weren't for the legal prohibition, Chen Qiang would like to buy himself a car of the same model as the president of Mao Xiongguo in the north. It is said that it is comparable to a tank and can withstand RPG attacks...

Once the situation changes, Chen Qiang can give up the three rounds at any time, choose this enhanced pickup truck to escape quickly, and even change cars halfway.

It cannot be ruled out that the enemy is a technological race that can invade the surrounding probes. Chen Qiang gave up approaching by car, but chose a low-key tricycle that can go outside the shooting range of the western suburbs probe.

And his "Swiss Army Knife"-level investigator equipment is also installed in the back seat of the car, and there is a complete backup in the modified pickup.

Swiss army knife, double-sided tape, instant glue, hemp rope, bungee cord, windproof lighter, strong flashlight, walkie-talkie, camera, small tape recorder, alcohol, miniature jigsaw, gas mask, some chemical reagents, tactical dagger, golf clubs, crowbar...

Coupled with the heavy liquid nitrogen tank, thanks to the infinite strength of my ghoul friend Uncle Xu, he was able to carry all these things.

At the same time, people from the security company who didn't know the truth were already in place a thousand meters away, and it was up to Chen Qiang to ask them to support or escape.

"It's always right to be more prepared."

The destination of the trigger module in the mobile phone map is the semi-abandoned old theater in the western suburbs.

Ten years ago, in order to promote the development of the western suburbs as soon as possible, some businessmen started large-scale construction projects in the western suburbs, but in the end, the higher authorities weighed the pros and cons and focused the development on the eastern suburbs of the university town.The theater was basically unable to receive performances, so it was eventually converted into a logistics warehouse. After the new logistics center of Fengshun Express was completed, this place was reduced to a situation where no one rented the warehouse.

Finally, due to the proximity to the power plant, this place gave a few virtual currency speculators to install their "mining machines" to produce virtual currency.

Chen Qiang consulted the people in the power supply department. The current daily power consumption of the old theater is indeed very large, and the electricity bill has not been in arrears. It should be a real "mining".

"The biggest possibility is," Chen Qiang already had a prediction in his mind, "A believer of an outer god is hidden among those 'mining' people, it is very likely that it is a mythical creature, and under the banner of a mining machine, he is planning to What are you wearing?"

As for the Cthulhu mod, a common routine is that investigators discover something strange and suspect that it is related to a mythical creature, and then investigate deeply and find that it is really related to a mythical creature.

But I can't think of any Outer God who can be summoned directly by electricity...

It is always right to be prepared and more prepared.
