Real Cthulhu Running Game

   Chapter 512 Disposable Soul Box

  Who is Sirius?

  It is also true, how can a prop like the Soul Box that has the opportunity to bring people back to life can be such a common commodity.

   Thinking of this, Liu Xing couldn't help but ask: "Mr. Crisiano, then you should know the effect of this soul box, right?"

Crisiano nodded and said, "The box of souls, as the name suggests, is a kind of prop that can hold souls. According to legend, it was researched by another race in cooperation with our ancient family, because its materials are very rare, so in In the hands of the entire ancient family, there are only more than one hundred soul boxes, and at least half of the soul boxes are sealed in the secret treasure house of our ancient family. It's not going to be used."

"As for those Soul Boxes that have been issued, they are basically in the hands of high-level people of the ancient family. As far as I know, our ancient family had a Soul Box in the hands of the Archon of the Earth. There should be no more than two soul caskets on the outer earth. As for who holds the remaining two possible soul caskets, I am not sure, because this is not something that a low-level clerk like me can do. I understand, but the soul box in your hand, Mr. Meteor, I don’t think it should be the consul’s soul box, because the soul boxes issued to the consul are all marked with special marks.”

   Liu Xing looked at the box of souls in his hand and found nothing special.

   But after Crisiano said this, Liu Xing became more curious about Sirius' identity.

Although the ancient family does not encourage fertility, basically only when it is necessary to occupy a new colony will a new generation of ancients be born, but at that time there were also some famous ancients in the universe, and the number of them would have to exceed 10 billion. right.

   And among the tens of billions of ancients, there are only more than 100 soul boxes, and the ancients who can get the soul boxes are the big ones who take one out of a billion.

   Then Sirius's identity is even more extraordinary than Liu Xing imagined.

But having said that, this Soul Box is not an exclusive product of the ancients, but produced in cooperation with other races, but listening to Crisiano's tone, it seems that it does not know the specific cooperation object is from the which race.

   Could it be another good deed done by Nyarlathotep?

   Liu Xing now has some conditioned reflexes. Whenever he encounters something he can't figure out, he wants to put the pot directly on Nyarlathotep's head.

   In the Cthulhu run game, everything is Nyarlathotep's fault. . .

   At this point, the research data is almost finished.

"So it turns out, it seems that although the ancient family at that time did not study why I was able to integrate the ability of other mythical creatures, they have also used other means to imitate this process, so that those animals with lower strength can absorb other animals from each other. However, this absorption efficiency is very low, and there is a high probability that it will only be of its type and not meaningful. The most important thing is that the stability of these synthetic beasts is very poor. The more other animals these synthetic beasts absorb, the more The time that it can survive will be shorter, and basically the large synthetic beast that survives to the end will only have a lifespan of one day." Crisiano opened his mouth and analyzed.

Liu Xing nodded, touched his chin and said, "Although the ancients have high attainments in genetic engineering, the simple and crude hybridization of the genes of so many animals in a short period of time, no matter how you look at it. There is no way to succeed, and now these synthetic beasts are completely stocked, and it is basically impossible to successfully synthesize."

Crisiano sighed and said helplessly: "Liu Xing, you are right, I think the goal of those researchers was to find a relatively stable synthetic beast formula, and then put it on the battlefield, after all When I was expelled from the ancient clan, the ancient clan had basically lost all the ground cities, and our ancient clan was really bad at ground warfare and tough battles, so these synthetic beasts can indeed make up for us The shortcoming of the ancient clan, although the manufacturing cost of these synthetic beasts is still quite high."

   Liu Xing thought for a while and decided to enter the topic: "By the way, Mr. Crisiano, can you use the equipment in this research facility now to create a suitable ancient body?"

Crisiano first raised his brows, then said with a smile: "So it is, it seems that there should already be an ancient soul in this soul box, but then again, the equipment in this research facility is not Completely, some key equipment has been dismantled during the retreat that year, and the materials that can be used now are also very poor, so although the equipment in this research facility can create an ancient body, but the body's various The data is very poor, and it can even be said to be garbage. I believe that the ancient compatriot in the soul box should not be willing to use such a body. After all, there is a saying in our ancient family - then A good soul box can only be used once."

  Soul Box can only be used once?

   Liu Xing looked at Crisiano in surprise, but he didn't expect such a statement.

Seeing Liu Xing's surprised face, Crisiano explained: "I have already said before that the material of the soul box is very rare, so the soul box made by the ancient family is only more than one hundred. , and the most important material of the soul box, that is, the core of the soul box - the soul gem, this soul gem is just the name provided by the mysterious race, because our ancients have never found the soul gem in the universe, and Of course, these soul gems also have to be graded. Different grades of soul gems can preserve the integrity of the soul and the length of time. According to your Huaxia Daomen, the highest grade soul gem can completely preserve the three souls and seven souls. , and some low-level soul gems can also save souls, but they will always lose their souls."

"But no matter what level of soul gem, when the soul it saves leaves it, it will completely scrap the soul gem and turn it into an ordinary gem that looks good, so the soul box is just a one-time use. Item, so I think that the owner of this soul box in your hand, Mr. Meteor, should choose an ancient body that is really suitable for it to resurrect, instead of just looking for a body to resurrect. It's about the rest of its life, unless it's aging in human society like me."

   Liu Xing nodded, he didn't expect so much attention to this soul box.

   "Okay, I've read these research materials now, but unfortunately it doesn't work for me. It seems that my trip to Jekyll Island is for nothing." Crisiano said with a sigh.

   Liu Xing nodded and said, "Then Mr. Crisiano, are we going to withdraw from Jekyll Island now?"

Crisiano thought for a while, pointed to the outside and said, "We can leave Jekyll Island at any time, but I don't know that the synthetic beasts outside will not answer. Although you have certain authority, Mr. Meteor, it is not unexpected. If so, you still have no way to control these synthetic beasts, so as long as we leave the research facility, we are bound to be attacked by these synthetic beasts, so it is not easy for us to leave Jekyll Island now.”

   Liu Xing frowned, these synthetic beasts outside are indeed a big problem, after all, the current combat effectiveness of his group is very worrying. . .

   "How about we wait until the end of this round of experiments before leaving Jekyll Island?" Liu Xing asked.

Crisiano nodded and said with a smile: "I think so too, because I am still in a sealed state, so my ability can only be used once a day, so I can only deal with a few at most. It’s just synthetic beasts, as for Mr. Meteor, your combat effectiveness should have dropped a lot because you lost the advantage of firearms, and you are not good at hand-to-hand combat, so you may not be able to win a synthetic beast together.”

  Although it is a bit embarrassing, Liu Xing also has to admit that he and his party may not be able to beat a synthetic beast together now. . .

  So, after a brief discussion, Liu Xing and his party decided to temporarily stay in the research facility and wait for the end of this round of experiments before leaving Jekyll Island.

   Therefore, Liu Xing and his party came to the dormitory area in the research facility.

  The rooms of the ancient family are also very distinctive. Almost everything in a room is placed in the middle, and then the surrounding walls are also painted with various decorative patterns.

   Of course, because the evacuation of the researchers was a bit hasty back then, in addition to important personal items, there were also many daily necessities left in the room, although these daily necessities were really useless in the eyes of Liu Xing and others.

Of course, as Liu Xing, who can understand the language of the ancients, when he saw the "Tentacle Care Cream" in front of him and a comic titled "Captain of the Super Ancients", he suddenly felt that the ancients were still tall. The family seems to be quite "close to the people" now. . .

Looking at Liu Xing with a confused face, Crisiano said with a smile: "Mr. Meteor, although the technology level of our ancient family is very advanced, this does not mean that our ancient family will not be in other aspects. Heart, you must know that although the ancient race is relatively poor compared to humans in terms of entertainment, there are also novels, comics, movies and TV series, so Mr. Meteor, don’t think of our mythical creature races too much. Or it's too rigid and boring."

   Liu Xing nodded, Crisiano was right, he was indeed a little preconceived, thinking of mythical creatures too far from reality. . . But this is also normal. After all, in the Cthulhu running group games that Liu Xing came into contact with, they only described how terrible these mythical creatures were, and did not mention what the daily life of these mythical creatures was. . .

For example, the deep diver in front of you, who wants to show off his teeth and claws, may have confessed to the other deep diver he secretly loves only yesterday; A literature lover, of course, the literature of the ghouls is likely to be very **** and violent.

   Thinking of this, Liu Xing suddenly felt that this setting was still a mystery.

  After allocating the room, everyone rested.

After all, according to the previous information, no matter how fast this round of experiments is, it will take a few days to end. In addition, it is impossible to open the secret room in the research facility, so Liu Xing and others have no interest in discussing it, so they each rested. one afternoon.

   In the evening, Crisiano and Liu Xing took out a box of cans from the storage room of the research facility.

"Mr. Meteor, you should probably know that although our ancient family has the dual characteristics of plants and animals, in the final analysis, our ancient family is more inclined to animals, so although our ancient family can absorb energy through photosynthesis, maintain our Daily activities, but we are more inclined to eat meat for energy, so after our ancient family entered the earth, we created many pastures on the mainland to breed various animals, so the canned food of our ancient family is basically meat. Lord," Crisiano said, picking up a can about the size of a baby formula can.

   Liu Xing nodded, but still said with some worry: "Uh, Mr. Crisiano, you should know that our human beings have different physiological structures from your ancients, so are these cans really suitable for us humans to eat?"

Crisiano laughed and said seriously: "Of course it is suitable, Mr. Meteor, you can rest assured, because you have all seen it now, those animals outside were created by our ancient family, so since those animals outside You can all eat it without any problem, so these cans should be no problem for you, and the canned food of our ancient family is relatively original, without any special materials added... But I am also quite worried that you will I'm not used to these cans, after all, these animals raised by our ancient family are more inclined to our ancient family."

   Liu Xing nodded again, because there were only some animal names and water that Liu Xing had never heard of on the ingredient list of these cans.

   As for the taste of these animals, we will only know after waiting to eat them.

   Hope it won't be too bad.

   Walking and chatting with Crisiano, Liu Xing can be considered to have learned about the real ancient family.

   An ancient race of flesh and blood.
