my cthulhu game

Chapter 78

Uncle Xu was crawling in the pitch-black ventilation duct.

Maybe it was a mistake to come out on his own, he thought.

But... I heard that voice.

There is only that voice, and I can never hear it wrong.

"This is a game," Uncle Xu told himself repeatedly, "It's fake, all of this is fake."

The middle-aged ghoul made a difficult turn in the ventilation duct.

……

at the same time.

"Ah ah ah ah ah!"

Chen Qiang and the other four were startled by the waitress' scream.With a strong sense of justice, Qin Lingxue rushed towards the room with one stride——

"and many more!"

[Qiang En Chen's agility check was successful 36/70]

[Haneda Yuki's agility check was 67/80 successful]

[Qiang En Chen's agility is 70, Haneda Yuki's agility is 80, the confrontation failed]

Chen Qiang stretched out his hand to pull it, but it was in vain.Just as he was about to follow, he saw Xiaoxue making a "stop" gesture to him.

It turns out that Xiaoxue has not lost her composure...

"Dead, dead, dead..." The waitress fell to the ground, spilling the ice cream all over the floor, "Dead, dead..."

Seeing the scene in the room, Xiaoxue obviously paused.

[Player "Qin Lingxue" has lost 5 points of sanity from "finding a frightening corpse", and is used to this fear, so she will not lose sanity anymore]

Once an investigator has lost the maximum Sanity loss a monster can cause to a monster of the same species, the investigator no longer loses any additional Sanity points from it.For example, an investigator does not lose more than 0 Sanity points from encountering an army of ghouls (1/6D6 sanity loss), even if he faces more ghouls than zombies in Resident Evil.

This is "habitual fear".Of course, if the investigators forget this horrible memory, the loss of sanity will return to them again.

As for the loss of sanity other than monsters, whether there will be such "adaptation" often depends on the judgment of the keeper.In the game of Cthulhu Running Group, occasionally someone complains about why police officers and forensic doctors who are used to seeing death lose their sanity and go crazy because of an ordinary dead person.

Now it seems that the system's judgment is relatively loose. Real people are used to investigators who have a certain source of fear. As long as they don't forget all this, they won't be hit by reason again.

Xiaoxue made a "come here" gesture to everyone, and pointed to Gu Shiyin, hoping that she would stay where she was.But Gu Shiyin ran over with Chen Qiang and Xiao Yezi.Chen Qiang didn't stop her: anyway, this mythical creature with SAN=0 didn't need any sanity check at all.

"..."

It was a male corpse.The head, left shoulder and left arm disappeared.The dead man was wearing a brown nightgown, lying on his back on the black upright piano in the living room of the suite...

【SC1/1D4+1】

[Player "Sayako Haneda" has lost 5 points of sanity from "finding a frightening corpse", and is used to this fear, so she will not lose sanity anymore]

[Qiang En Chen's sanity check was successful 32/36]

[Jiang En Chen currently has 35 sanity points left]

"Call the police immediately!" Looking at the terrifying scene in front of him, Chen Qiang restrained the urge to retch.

The waitress crawled out of the corridor.

Sayoko hesitated.Both she and Qin Lingxue belonged to the logistics personnel who supported the battle when necessary, and they were not very good at this kind of on-site survey; and she was also worried that if everyone entered the murder scene, they would be blamed by the police for "destroying the scene".

"It's okay, Xiao Yezi. They won't accuse us of sabotaging the scene, maybe they will rely on us." Qin Lingxue said.

She quickly took out two letters from her satchel.

"They are?" Actually, Xiao Yezi understood everything when he saw the emblem on the letter.

"It's... the National Investigation Department of the United States officially invited us to be trainees of transnational criminal police," Qin Lingxue did not mention the name "Green Delta". Although the organization has long lost its official background, in recent years some branch organizations have established The influence in the relevant departments has recovered slightly, "Although we are trainees, I don't know how we were selected, but we also have a background in the police. On a ship with a shortage of manpower, it is not too much to be a guest agent."

"The two who were replaced by us still have such a setting...Wait, when did you find out?" Sayoko was surprised.

"You were checking your notebook just now, and after Xiao Gu was busy on the computer, I searched for the bag again," Qin Lingxue said, "There is a layer in the bag."

Chen Qiang nodded.

When he was paying attention to Gu Shiyin's operation of the laptop computer, he received the message of "Haneda Yuki's detection check was successful 18/25".

Just as my identity as "Qiang En Chen" was compiled into the double identity of "the black businessman and fraudster who traded with Mr. Imai", "Haneda Yuki" and "Haneda Sayoko" are not pure high school students, but just like them. At this age in reality, he is on his way to the United States for training.

Affiliated with the name of a multinational police trainee, and can also be connected with some special departments of the United States, the "hidden identities" of Xiaoxue and Xiaoyako are indeed very convenient for investigation.

"Shiyin, try to take pictures of the room without any blind spots." Chen Qiang gave the order and began to search around the room with Xiao Yezi.Qin Lingxue inspected the corpse.

"The blood is still fresh, and the rigor hasn't appeared yet," Xiaoxue hesitated, "It was just killed, it looks like..."

[The biological test of the ancient poetry soundtrack penalty is 43/48 successful]

Gu Shiyin thought for a while.She doesn't understand human medicine, but she has a little "knowledge" about the warm-blooded animals on the contemporary earth. It's time to put this knowledge to use...

"...Death time is about 30 minutes," Gu Shiyin deduced calmly, "The cause of death is unknown, and he may have died before being torn apart. The reason for the tearing...may be some kind of strong 'bite'."

Everyone shivered.

"The little half of my body is gone," Gu Shiyin muttered, "The other half...disappeared with my face..."

Chen Qiang felt that if Gu Shiyin continued to speak, everyone would have to check their sanity again. Fortunately, she immersed herself in the shooting scene and did not continue to "deduce".

[Haneda Sayoko’s detection check failed 93/25]

[Qiang En Chen's detection check was successful 64/70]

"This is?"

Chen Qiang saw a golden ring in a pool of blood near the piano.Through the handkerchief, Chen Qiang picked up the ring from the ground.

There are no precious stones set on this plain gold ring, only a line of capitalized English letters is engraved on the inside.

"To be with you forever, my favorite..." Chen Qiang frowned, "Is this spelling 'yingzi' in Japanese?"

"You take it first," Chen Qiang stuffed the ring to Xiao Yezi, "it may be important evidence, you can show it to the police when the time is right, and I won't carry the name of destroying the scene. Xiao Gu, what's going on with you?" ?”

"It's all done." Gu Shiyin put away the phone obediently.

[Qiang En Chen listened to the test 47/70 success]

"En." Chen Qiang heard noisy footsteps outside from a long distance away, and knew that the police officers on the ship had arrived belatedly.He took a few steps and leaned against the door frame, pretending that only Qin Lingxue and Xiao Yezi were investigating the scene.

　I have been coughing for several days, but it is not getting better, please ask for a recommendation ticket to comfort...
