How many character cards do you have?

Yokohama, eleven o'clock at night, a remote port on the coast.

A van approached silently, and a man in black with his face covered stepped out of it, carrying a huge human-shaped bag on his shoulders.

The man on his shoulders trembled slightly, and the man in black found a dark corner where there was no one, and put down the bag.

Pulling down the zipper, revealing the true face inside, it turned out to be a lady with her hands bound and her mouth wrapped in a bandage, looking at him with tears in her eyes.

"Little baby, don't worry, we still have a lot of time." The man dressed roughly excitedly, and moved the woman out of the bag. The toolbox on the other side was full of blood-stained instruments of torture.

"Hmmmm!" The woman shook her head crazily, but her body still felt numb from the traditional Chinese medicine. Her hands and feet were bound and she couldn't stand up. She could only watch the man turn around to pick up tools in despair.

It’s over.

The man seemed to be looking for something, or had made up his mind. She couldn't get up immediately, and without any further movement, the woman's eyeballs moved, and suddenly she swept deep into the alley, and there was a man sitting against a corner with his upper body Covered by shadows, only a pair of long legs and shiny leather boots were exposed under the moonlight.

The woman tried her best to suppress the scream that was about to burst into her throat, and realized that this was an opportunity to call for help. The man who attacked her didn't seem to realize that there was a third party at the scene. She moved her mouth with all her strength, and used all her strength along the way A corner of the tape wet with saliva came loose: "Save...save me...he...the murderer..."

"Huh? Can you still talk?"

The man took out a knife and pliers from his bag, and walked towards the woman with a smirk: "Stop screaming, no one will come to rescue you here."

In order to enjoy the execution and avoid being investigated by the police, the man tried his best to find such a good place. It is not only remote, but also very close to the mafia territory. Even if someone dies here, there will not be many policemen. No matter, just rely on the mafia and it's over.

Of course, he himself was afraid that the Mafia would notice, so he deliberately chose to be close to the edge of their patrol.

"It's so noisy." The person sitting next to the corner finally spoke, but it was better not to speak, the woman's heart sank to the bottom of the valley, and she screamed inside.

Did he figure out the current situation?Not going to sneak up on someone with a weapon and reminding someone you're here? !

"Huh?" Sure enough, the man raised his vigilance, and only then did he notice that there was a third party in this deserted alley. This knowledge made him murderous, and he must not let the person who saw him go back alive.

Fortunately, the person deep in the alley seemed to be a drunk or a homeless man. He hadn't figured out the situation until now, and he didn't even stand up from the ground. The man walked up to the person quickly, raised his stun gun with a grin, and said, "It's only to blame It's your fault for sleeping in a place like this."

"You are blocking me from seeing the moon." The man said suddenly.

"what?"

boom--

In a quiet alley, even with a gun equipped with a muffler, the sound of firing is still obvious.

The weakness of the body has gradually receded, but Yuasa Ema's mind is still blank.

Was that...a gun?

The man's subsequent screams reminded her that this was reality. The murderer collapsed on the ground with a large puddle of blood flowing from his abdomen.

And that person stood up from the ground staggeringly: "I said it all, you blocked the moon, today is a rare red full moon."

Yuasa Ema looked up at the sky in bewilderment, the night was covered by dark clouds, not to mention the red moon, even the moonlight was negligible, how could there be a full moon?

The man walked to the place where there was light, and Ema struggled to raise his head, and finally saw his appearance. He seemed to be a foreigner, with blond light hair, blue eyes, and a handsome face that was not inferior to the model. Unfortunately, his current appearance His eyes were slack and his movements were stiff, like someone who was drunk or high, his eyeballs rolled and turned towards Yuasa Ema's direction.

The side effects of the electric shock gradually dissipated, and Ema struggled to stand up, looking at the man vigilantly, as if afraid that he would also shoot herself.

What he was worried about did not happen. Two or three minutes later, the man suddenly leaned back, as if his soul had finally returned to his stiff body, his back straightened, and a smile appeared on his face again: "Ma'am, are you not injured?" ?”

"No, no."

"That's good." The man smiled and took a step forward, Zhuangruo unintentionally stepped on the hand of the murderer who was trying to pick up the knife on the ground, "After all, in this world full of monsters, a lady like you It's too dangerous to go out late at night."

"monster?"

"Yes, a terrifying monster." The man had a mysterious look on his face. At this time, the murderer who was lying on the ground and saw the right moment suddenly jumped up and wanted to strangle the man's neck, but the man didn't turn his head back. one shot.

boom--

"You see, most people would die with one shot, but look at him."

bang bang bang-

The man fired one after another until the magazine was emptied, and the murderer who had been sifted into a sieve slowly slid down the wall, his body still twitching unconsciously.

"I've fired so many shots, and I'm not dead yet. With this honor, it's not a monster." The man looked extremely serious, with the corners of his mouth still curved, but his eyes were almost paranoid. "This world has been polluted. Only the gods can come to save them."

The woman looked at the murderer who was dying, and then at the man who emptied the magazine, as if a nerve was snapped in her mind.

Sanity check...failed.

Temporary madness (symptom: fear)

And Karasawa Taki got a prompt: [san points +5]

【...Finally made the first sum, no wonder, it's over, it's over, I know I shouldn't have any hope for psychosis. ] There was a desperate voice in the man's head.

'It's a mental illness, not a neurosis, and there's a fundamental difference between the two. Karasawa Taki corrected seriously.

[Anyway, it's... Hey, can you still respond to my words? 】

'Yes, why not. '

[Then I called you just now, why didn't you speak? 】

'It was too noisy just now. '

【what? 】

'Not about you. '

It wasn't the murderer just now.

The noise that Karasawa Taki mentioned refers to the magical murmurs that buzzed in his ears, male and female voices overlapped, or murmured and repeated, or prayed, or spoke a language that Karasawa Taki could not understand, profound knowledge.

'Ah, this feeling... It's been a long time. ' he murmured nostalgically.

Karasawa Taki looked up at the sky, the red moon was hanging in the sky, but if you looked closely, it was more like eyes or something.

The lines of the surrounding buildings are gradually blurred, and the whole world is like distorted lines drawn by children, or oil paintings with bold colors. The blue one is the wall, and the red one is the moon. The strange nursery rhymes echoed in his ears with whispers. It was the werewolf monster that held the human lady down.

In his, or in the eyes of this character card, the world is like this.

Violent emotions harassed him all the time, and he didn't hesitate to shoot at the monster, even wanting to tear it to pieces.

He thought, if he was still in the real world, this character card would definitely enjoy VIP-level treatment in the critically ill area.

What he blurted out with the woman just now is also the subconscious answer of this character card. The mental state of the character card will indeed affect him, but fortunately, it has not reached the point where he cannot act.

The system recovered and found that Karasawa Taki's logic was indeed still online. While he was relieved, he was terrified [Why did you choose a card with a san value reset to zero!Didn't I just say that the sanity value of the character card will also affect you? 】

Karasawa Taki was confident: "You said it, but I want to try." '

The system really wants to ask, what is your serious illness.

Karasawa Taki nodded seriously as if he could read minds: "I am indeed sick. '

【…】

The system repeatedly told itself inwardly, don't argue with lunatics.

But then again, how did this guy do it...

What the system said before is not alarmist.

When the sanity value drops to zero, it is basically permanent madness, and there is no possibility of cure, but the symptoms of the onset vary from person to person. For example, some people have suicidal tendencies. Changing a character card should be able to cure him, but he never thought that he would commit suicide again until all the character cards died.

Another example is that some people directly became fanatics of evil gods, and even spiritual treatment could not shake his belief, so he had to change another host.

In short, basically, once the sanity value drops to zero, this character card will be invalidated, and the body may be destroyed. There has never been an example of a sanity value being reduced to 0 and the task can be completed normally.

At this time, the system suddenly remembered something, and called out the value of Karasawa Taki's body.

【 Karasawa Taki

Attributes:

力量（40）敏捷（40）体质（50）外貌（85）灵感/智力（90）意志（80）教育（30）

Special Skills:

心理学（50）、精神分析（70）、潜行（50）、图书馆（40）、聆听（70）、侦查（70）、读唇（20）、催眠（45）、博物学（15）、人类学（33）、历史学（46）、表演（35）、伪造（55）、妙手（59）、乔装（53）、锁匠（80）、机械维修（30）、神秘学（37）、克苏鲁神话知识（60）、话术（70）……

】

After skipping a group of dazzling skills, as well as intelligence and inspiration up to 90, the system finally found the possible reason.

San: 10 (→9)

system:……

Well, he suddenly understood.

The reduction of sanity value will lead to a very bad state of mind, but if a person who has been in this state is probably a little more used to it than ordinary people, right?

What a ghost!This value, how did this guy get into the mild case of the mental hospital, shouldn't he be tied to the bed, and how can he have so many messy things, the education of only 30 means that Karasawa Taki basically has no formal education. Education, but what is the matter with so many skills...

'Read more books and practice more. ' Karasawa Taki replied indifferently.

Only then did the system realize that it didn't know when the question was asked.

[Don't you just look at the 80's locksmith? 】

Karasawa Taki replied with a strange face: "Untying the knot with one hand is a skill for each of us. Otherwise, when you are tied up, you can only stay in bed for a whole day." '

[? 】The system slowly issued a question mark,【You just practiced single-handed untie knots and pushed the locksmith to 80 points? 】

A skill of 90 points is generally the limit of human beings, and it is usually an achievement that an ordinary person can only obtain after spending most of his life. 80 points are also considered a master level.

'That's not true. '

The system breathed a sigh of relief, so he just said, how could such a thing happen.

'They couldn't afford it, so they got other locks in the later stage. Karasawa Taki said sadly.

【…】The system realizes with hindsight that the host chosen by this dead horse as a living horse doctor seems to be far from being as simple as he imagined.

Although at the scene of the murder, Karasawa Taki showed a calmness that a psychopath should not have, ignoring the woman who was temporarily insane, and even had time to check his belongings.

Two Glock pistols, four-round magazines, a homemade incendiary bomb, two packs of homemade explosives, a wallet, a mobile phone, that's all.

A little bit, this is not enough to make trouble.

Karasawa Taki wanted to say something else, at this time the system said [Leave a listen! 】

'Um? '

[Here is the same as the running group, the dice are your golden fingers, apply the data of the character card, as long as the points are passed, you will get a reminder, there is no time to explain, someone is coming! 】Note 1

Karasawa Taki looked at the gun in his hand, the frightened woman on the ground and the horrific corpse on the wall, and felt that something was wrong.

--------------------

The author has something to say:

Note: Dice and running group are table-playing games. All the actions of the players are basically based on the corresponding points of the dice to see if the behavior can be successfully performed. Looking for relevant reports, then I need to take out my mobile phone to find news on the Internet. Whether I can find it depends on whether the skill 'library' can succeed. If my library skill point is 50 and the dice rolls 60, then Failed, I couldn't find relevant reports, and I could successfully find the information I wanted when I rolled below fifty.

Generally speaking, education in running groups is directly related to skill points, that is to say, how much education a person receives determines how many things a person knows, but obviously, the protagonist himself has too many skills, because this time The growth of the protagonist is s, and all intelligence is focused on learning things, that is, a 'genius' in the secular sense, or a lunatic who has crossed the line of reason

Let me explain to readers who have never heard of running groups. The running groups mentioned in this article refer to a type of tabletop role-playing game. In simple terms, it is similar to script killing. It is a role-playing game, and the similar type is dnd (Dungeon and Dragon). Generally speaking, this game requires the host and more than one player to play. The player will create a virtual character card, and the host will prepare related For example, let the investigator controlled by the player go to a certain place to investigate a strange event. The player's mission is to find out the truth or escape, um... just understand it as a special script and kill it.If there are more running groups, players will naturally be able to learn a lot of Cthulhu knowledge. This is how the protagonist’s 60 points of Cthulhu Mythos knowledge come from hhhhh If you haven’t heard of running groups, you can read this article. I’m not serious about what I wrote The running group will try to explain clearly when encountering relevant terms.
