Real Cthulhu Running Game

Of course, here Ming Hanxing only mentioned two modules that he had experienced, so Liu Xing felt that Ming Hanxing still had something to hide from his group.

But this is normal. After all, Ming Hanxing has only done a mod with his group, so it is human nature to have reservations.

"By the way, Zhang Jingxu, did you meet your master when you returned to China this time?" Liu Xing changed the subject.

Of course, the reason why Liu Xing asked Zhang Jingxu this question was because Liu Xing now felt that Zhang Jingxu's master was Wu Lei, so Liu Xing wanted to get more information from Zhang Jingxu to confirm his thoughts.

Zhang Jingxu shook his head and said: "To be honest, I don't know where my master has gone now, because I just heard from a friend of my master that my master suddenly left China in an emergency, as if he was on a plane. I went to Africa, and I don’t know any other news... After all, my master has not had much contact with me since I left China. This may be the so-called sheep herding education."

Zhang Wenbing on the side frowned and said with some worry: "Speaking of Africa, I really heard about something recently, that is, a big news happened in Africa. A small country suddenly attacked three surrounding countries at the same time. An armed invasion was launched, and the army of this small country was so powerful that it took over the three surrounding countries within half a month. Although these four countries combined are not as big as the mainland of the island country, the behavior of this small country is really This is too abnormal, because this small country does not have the instruction and help of a big country behind it, so it is logically impossible for it to annex the three surrounding countries so quickly."

"So the Wuchang Country held a small meeting on this matter. The English officials, who had just been almost seized by the Corpse Cult, naturally believed that this small country was most likely seized by a secret church, so the Wuchang Country decided to send A joint investigation team went to that small African country to investigate. Basically, except for a translator, the people sent by Huaxia were all members of the Huaxia Taoist sect. However, the personnel sent this time were kept confidential, so who exactly were there? I don’t know where to go.”

"It seems that Zhang Jingxu's master should have gone to that small African country. But then again, that small African country should have mines in the country, otherwise the Wuchang country would not be so interested." Ishikawa Ling said while touching his chin. .

Zhang Wenbing nodded and said: "Yes, that small country does have a mine in the country, and it is also a very valuable diamond mine. However, the location of this diamond mine is a bit sensitive. It is on the border of that small country, so the surrounding area After the country learned about this diamond mine, it began to look covetously at this diamond mine. Unexpectedly, this small country suddenly rose up and annexed the surrounding countries."

When Liu Xing heard this, he knew that if Zhang Jingxu's master really went to that small African country to make a module, then this module would most likely be the promotion module for upgrading the Hounds of Tindalos area to the Cthulhu area. After all, ordinary The module shouldn't cause such a big battle.

But if Wu Lei is really Zhang Jingxu's master, then this is not good news for Liu Xing. After all, if Wu Lei advances to the Cthulhu area, then Liu Xing will be in trouble if he wants to see Wu Lei again.

Because according to general circumstances, it is basically impossible for players who advance to the Cthulhu area to meet players from other areas in the parallel world.

The reason is very simple, because if the players before the Cthulhu area can still walk under the sun, then the players in the Cthulhu area are complete shadow watchers, because the modules they have started to involve To the Old Ones and their dependents, or to the secret churches that believe in the Old Ones, in short, players in the Cthulhu area no longer have the opportunity to slowly and slowly develop modules like Liu Xing and others.

And according to general circumstances, it will take at least a year for Liu Xing to advance to the Cthulhu area. By then, the flowers may be gone.

At this time, Lu Tianya and others brought out the hot pot.

Start eating.

"By the way, Leader, we got a piece of gossip this morning, saying that the Tokyo branch of a secret church was destroyed yesterday. The most important thing is that the secret church has yet to find out who did it." Kokawa Xiaofu said suddenly.

Liu Xing frowned, nodded and said: "My husband, please arrange for someone to follow up on this matter. Tokyo is like a dynamite barrel now. A large number of branches of secret churches are entrenched in Tokyo, and the relationship between them is also intricate. , can be described as affecting the whole body. If it is just a conflict between two secret churches, it will be easy to handle. We just need to stay out of it, but if there is a secret church deliberately trying to disrupt the situation in Tokyo , that would be troublesome."

At this time, Liu Xing suddenly remembered something.

Liu Xing still remembers seeing a semi-finished module in the real world. The author of this module was very ambitious and set the story background of the module in an imaginary international metropolis. In that international metropolis, A large number of secret churches were arranged, and then each secret church was set. Not only the relationship between the secret churches was determined, but also the grudges and resentments between the important NPCs in each secret church were designed.

At that time, the author of this module claimed that he had written more than 300,000 words of settings for this module, with more than 400 NPCs and more than 200 various tasks, which could ensure that the same group of players could play the game a hundred times. You will never get bored, and you will discover something new every time.

Then, there is no more.

After the mod author threw out the basic settings, there was suddenly no news. People on the Internet thought that the mod author was bragging and found that he was not capable of completing the module he said, so he simply Play disappeared.

However, Liu Xing really knew the mod author, and knew that the mod author could not disappear for no reason, because Liu Xing and the mod author both joined a certain book club group, and then one time the mod author The author mentioned his module, so although he had not yet played the Cthulhu Running game at that time, Liu Xing, who was also familiar with the Cthulhu Running game, chatted with the module author for a few words, and the two of them talked about it. became friends.

That was when Liu Xing was a freshman.

The mod author’s online name is Zhongshu, and he claims to be a freshly graduated philosophy student. Because his major was so boring, Zhongshu couldn’t find a suitable career, so Zhongshu, who was unemployed at home, decided to change his career. Ideas to turn your hobby into a career. . . To put it simply, it means becoming an idol, ah, becoming an online novel writer at a certain point.

Because Zhongshu is a fan of the Cthulhu Running game, he wanted to write the Cthulhu Running game into his novel, and in order to ensure that the story was exciting enough, he thought of a good way. , that is, write a very large module yourself, and then find a few players to run the module. Then you only need to modify the running group record to complete a novel.

After all, one person's ideas are limited after all, and the collision of thoughts of several people can create a lot of sparks, so that readers will not know the next development of the plot at the first glance.

Therefore, he finally began to build the international metropolis he imagined, a city of sin with surging undercurrents.

Of course, Zhongshu often tells Liu Xing some of the ideas he has thought of and asks Liu Xing about the feasibility of these ideas. Therefore, Liu Xing is well aware of the progress of Zhongshu's module and has some basic settings of the module. very clear.

When Liu Xing contacted Zhongshu for the last time, Zhongshu happily told Liu Xing that his module was almost completed, and he would be able to recruit players for group running in two days, and he also left a special post for Liu Xing. took a position.

Then, Liu Xing never saw the final loser's profile picture light up again.

At that time, Liu Xing thought that Zhongshu might have something going on in the real world, so he gave up temporarily because Liu Xing believed that Zhongshu should have completed his module. However, a month later, Zhongshu suddenly became angry. Gave Liu Xing a message, but this message was not sent by Zhongshu, but sent by Zhongshu's father to all his friends.

The content of that message was very simple, that is, she had been missing for a month.

Because Zhongshu and his parents live separately, Zhongshu's parents wanted to call Zhongshu over for dinner half a month ago, but found that they couldn't contact Zhongshu, so they rushed to Zhongshu's residence and found that Zhongshu He had disappeared, and after investigation, the police found that he should have disappeared suddenly a month ago.

But the most important thing is that he disappeared in a secret room!

Because when Zhongshu's parents arrived at Zhongshu's residence, they found that Zhongshu's door was locked from the inside, and that Zhongshu's residence was located on the sixth floor of an old-fashioned building. Protective bars were installed outside all the windows, and Everything in Zhongshan's house remained in the same state as a month ago, so logically speaking, it was impossible for Zhongshan to leave his residence like this.

Therefore, after the police conducted an investigation for half a month, they found nothing. Zhongshu's parents could only crack the account passwords of Zhongshu's various social software and post information online to look for clues.

Although Liu Xing at that time sympathized with the fate of Zhongshu's parents, Liu Xing also felt that there was nothing he could do to help Zhongshu's parents. After all, the chat records between himself and Zhongshu were all there.

Therefore, Liu Xing forgot about this matter over time and forgot that he once had such a netizen.

But now the reason why Liu Xing thinks of Zhongshu is because Liu Xing suddenly discovered that the module designed by Zhongshu is very similar to Tokyo where he is now in many details!

Zhongshu once told Liu Xing that because he needed to avoid the beast of harmony, the prototype of the fictional city was Tokyo; then Zhongshu set up a secret church that believed in deep divers. This secret church is the three most important secrets in the module. One of the churches. If players come into contact with this secret church, they will find that this secret church has arranged a group of believers to plot something in a certain university. This can obviously be used in the deep dive meeting.

In addition, there are two other secret churches in the fictional city. One of them is a secret church that has just completed its transformation. The predecessor of this secret church is one of the top gang organizations in the country where the fictional city is located. This is obviously the same as Liu Xing's previous one. The shadows encountered will be somewhat similar.

As for the last secret church, Liu Xing finally lost out at that time. He only said that the situation of the secret church was a bit special, and he would not understand it until Liu Xing joined the group himself.

But the most important point is that Zhongshu told Liu Xing that the beginning of this module was that a secret church of a walk-on was destroyed by a mysterious organization, and then the players came in to investigate the matter, and then there were several walk-ons. The secret church was attacked.

This is somewhat similar to the current situation.

This suddenly gave Liu Xing a bold idea, that is, could the module he was in now be part of the module that would eventually lose? !

And the sudden disappearance of the loser that year seems to have something to do with the Cthulhu Run Game Hall!

But now it is actually very easy to verify this, because Liu Xing remembers that Zhongshu once said that he arranged a small easter egg in the module, that is, he left his online name on the highest tower of the aerial city— —Finally loses, and this is something that players need to pass an extremely difficult lucky decision to discover.

Of course, as Zhongshu's best friend on the Internet, Zhongshu directly told Liu Xing the location of the screen name, so the only thing Liu Xing needs to do now is to check at that location. Are there those two words?

Thinking of this, Liu Xing said: "If everyone has nothing urgent to do this afternoon, why don't we go to Tokyo's tourist attractions together? After all, we have been in Tokyo for so long and we haven't had a good time yet."

Although Zhang Jingxu and others couldn't figure out what Liu Xing meant, since Liu Xing said so, they had nothing to say, and time was not in a hurry anyway.

Ever since, after eating hot pot, Liu Xing and others came to Tokyo Skytree.

Tokyo Skytree, also known as Tokyo Sky Tree, is not only the tallest tower in Tokyo, but also the tallest tower in the world with its height of more than 600 meters.

Liu Xing and his party arrived at the 450-meter observation deck of the Tokyo Sky Tree.

After entering the observation deck, Liu Xing came to a corner and bent down to pretend to tie his shoelaces. In fact, he was looking at the tiles in the corner.

On that tile, Liu Xing saw two Chinese characters that "he" did not recognize.

really!

Liu Xing couldn't help but be surprised. He didn't expect that after so many years, he would still be able to play the module designed by Zhongshu.

So now, where will the ultimate loser be?
