Real Cthulhu Running Game

  Chapter 4 The first run (below)

   "The game will officially start in ten seconds."

   Only then did Liu Xing realize that he seemed to be locked. Although he was able to move his sight, his body was not under his control at all, and he could not speak.

   After ten seconds.

"Games start!"

   As if the soul had returned to the body, Liu Xing had regained control of his own body.

   Silence.

   The four people sitting around the table looked at each other, and none of them planned to speak.

After all, when encountering such incredible things, there is no SAN value judgment (SAN value is the most important attribute of players in the Cthulhu running group game, which can be understood as sanity value. When the player encounters some unacceptable things, such as Terrible corpses, mythical creatures, magic, etc., the SAN value will be judged. Failure to judge will permanently reduce the character's SAN value. When the SAN value returns to zero, the character will fall into permanent madness, which is equivalent to death. Lowering the SAN value by more than 5 points within a time will result in a temporary state of madness. You can use Baidu for the specific situation, because the settings in this area can be enough for me. chat.

   But Liu Xing didn't want to sit still, because instead of waiting for the end of this hour of game time, it is better to take the initiative to find out the possible fanatics among the other three players.

If you want to find mad believers, you have to catch up first. Although Liu Xing has not run a Cthulhu group yet, he has not played less online games such as Darkness, Close Your Eyes, Werewolf Killing and other board games. Liu Xing thinks that he has a good chance of finding the language loopholes of the fanatics.

   "I am an old Chinese medicine practitioner, but in reality, I am an ordinary office worker."

In the background of the story given before, it has been explained that the four of them are netizens who met on the Internet, so Liu Xing directly stated his game id, and took the identity arranged for himself in this game by the way. .

   "I'm Shanhe, a college student." The hat man on the right continued.

   "I am rootless grass, the owner of a small company." The uncle on the left nodded towards the three and said with a smile.

   "My name is Million, I'm the initiator of this ancient house expedition, and a student of Magic City No. 7 Middle School." The girl didn't raise her head, and there was a hint of trembling in her tone.

   Liu Xing looked at the girl with some doubts, because a screen name like "million" doesn't seem like a girl should get a name.

"Oh, million, as the initiator, you should know some news about this ancient house." Liu Xing looked at the girl and said, thinking that this girl should have key clues, after all, in the Cthulhu running group game , Every player will get different information at the beginning because of their different identities. For example, now, as the initiator of this expedition, Millions will definitely be able to obtain more information.

   As an ordinary office worker beside Liu Xing this time, he only knows the information in the background of this game, and the others are ignorant.

   Of course, Liu Xing also began to suspect that this million is a mad believer, because she is the initiator of this expedition, so there is an 80% chance that this million will be a mad believer.

   At this moment, Wugencao suddenly interjected: "I should know more than she does, because I personally witnessed the tragedy that happened in this ancient house ten years ago."

Wugencao recalled for a while before sighing, "Ten years ago, I lived next door to this ancient house. One night, I suddenly heard a few screams coming from this ancient house. I called the police, but it was too late. The family of three in this ancient house had been brutally murdered. Later, the criminal was caught. He was a high school classmate of the youngest son in the family. ."

Liu Xing can now be sure that this middle-aged man whose online name is rootless grass should have participated in the Cthulhu running group game in reality, because the Cthulhu running group game is all about a sense of substitution, which requires Players will describe the information from a third party from a first-party perspective. From the actions and descriptions of the rootless grass, it is very suitable for this requirement.

   And the girl nodded immediately after listening to the description of the rootless grass. Liu Xing vaguely saw that there seemed to be a red necklace around her neck.

At this time, Wan Wan also said: "Yes, the suspect and the victim are both seniors of our Modu No. 7 Middle School, so this matter has become a big rumor in our school, but I heard my classmates say a few days ago. There's a lot of weirdness in this massacre, and the old mansion is haunted a lot, so I launched this expedition online."

   "Ding, the side quest is open, please find out the story behind this tragedy. After the side quest is completed, you can directly end the game and get an evaluation bonus. If you fail, there is no penalty."

   Liu Xing did not expect that a side quest would be triggered in just a few words, but fortunately, there is no punishment for failure, which made Liu Xing feel relieved.

"I also saw this news on the Internet, and I also found the so-called live pictures on the Internet. There are three pictures in total, but I don't know if they are true or false." Shanhe took out his mobile phone from his pocket while talking. After some operation, he handed the phone to Liu Xing and motioned for Liu Xing to take a look for himself.

  Liu Xing took the phone, which was a big blurry picture, but it should be in the kitchen, a corpse fell on its back, but its face was covered with thick mosaic.

   There was also a big hole in the stomach of this corpse, this time it was directly PS with a shadow.

Liu Xing swiped the touch screen of the mobile phone. The scene in the second picture was changed. It was in a bedroom. A corpse fell on the bed. There was a large bloodstain on the side of the head. It seems that the head was hit hard And die.

As for the last picture, it should be in the living room where Liu Xing and others are now. The body is sitting on a chair, and the neck is obviously torn, causing the head to be at an impossible angle. Shrugs by shoulders.

  Despite the interference of mosaics, Liu Xing still noticed that the corpse had long hair, and the clothes on his body were somewhat similar to school uniforms. Coupled with his slender body, it looked like it should be a young woman.

   This means that the family of three that was exterminated ten years ago consisted of two males and one female?

   Liu Xing handed the mobile phone to Wugencao, feeling a little bit about this tragedy in his heart.

   "These photos are indeed real." Wugencao only glanced at it, then sighed and said, "Although it has been ten years since this incident, I am still sure that this is them."

   After saying that, the rootless grass stood up.

   Liu Xing's mind moved, is rootless grass a mad believer? Want to blow out the candles?

However, Liu Xing quickly dismissed this idea, because it takes a full five seconds to blow out the candle, which is enough to stop the behavior of the rootless grass. Unless the rootless grass wants to throw itself into a snare, he is Wouldn't choose to blow out the candles at this time.

   "Come, return the phone to you." Rootless Grass bowed and handed the phone to Shanhe.

   "It's fine." Shanhe also stood up and took the phone.

  Everything is so natural.

   Liu Xing reached out and pushed the glasses that did not exist, stared at the candle, and fell into thinking for a while.

Liu Xing is a person who likes to challenge (death), and he also has a certain obsessive-compulsive disorder. Since the quest of the new house has also triggered side quests, he will definitely complete it. This is an obsessive-compulsive self. training.

   Therefore, Liu Xing deduced a lot of information based on the game background and the information provided by the other three.

   First, there may be three mythical creatures in this ancient house, but the ability to visually detect these mythical creatures is very limited, because now a single candle can restrict their movements.

Second, according to the requirements of the main quest, if you stick to the candle, it should not be difficult, but since you can trigger the side quest so easily, the evaluation of sticking to the candle should be very low, so the focus of this game is , it is on this side quest, and Liu Xing wants to make the attributes of his first character card look better and live longer in the future Cthulhu running games, then he must complete this side quest .

   Third, that is, the other three players have clues about the side quests, so why don't I have them? Could it be that I didn't find them?

  Thinking of the third point, Liu Xing began to fumble for his pockets, only to find a wallet and a mobile phone.

   This mobile phone is still the five-star magic phone of the year, Nokia 5230, which Liu Xing still remembers using when he was in high school.

   "Looks like I'm a bit of an office worker. I still use such an old-fashioned mobile phone, but it looks brand new. I really don't know where this person bought this old antique." Liu Xing laughed at himself.

   Liu Xing turned on the phone a little rusty, and found that there were only some apps that came with Nokia in the phone, not even a QQ.

   And according to the display of the mobile phone, there is no signal here, which dispelled Liu Xing's idea of ​​looking for information on the Internet, and could only open the address book.

  The address book contains some completely unknown calls, but in the call log, Liu Xing found that the last call was from Shanhe. An hour ago, the call time was 12 seconds.

   "Shanhe, we talked on the phone an hour ago, what did we say then? I can't remember." Liu Xing looked at his mobile phone and had a bold guess in his heart.

   "Oh, I remember that I asked you why you haven't arrived yet. You were already ten minutes late at that time, and the rootless grass and I were at the door." Shanhe said without hesitation.

   "Well, no wonder it's only 12 seconds." Liu Xing replied with a smile, while continuing to collect clues on his phone.

  In the text messages, there are hundreds of text messages sent by more than ten contacts.

   Liu Xing felt that there should be a lot of important information here, so Liu Xing read it word by word.

   Sure enough, Liu Xing found a text message from his "girlfriend" two days ago.

   "My dear, the amulet I asked for you at Longhua Temple has been put in your wallet. Don't lose it. I heard that this amulet is very spiritual and can be protected from evil."

   Liu Xing opened his wallet, and there was indeed a talisman, and there was a familiar pattern on this talisman—an old seal!

  PS: Thank you for your recommendation, now the old seal of the three artifacts in the Cthulhu running group has also appeared, hehe.
