my cthulhu game

Chapter 37 Sorry, I'm a Player
Bai Shaobao's shot didn't hurt Sayoko, but Qiu Jie who was at the side seemed to be under some kind of influence, and broke away from the state of immersion in the game.

She fell to the ground.

"What's going on here?" Sister Qiu, who was completely out of shape, looked at the scene in front of her in a daze.

Chen Qiang, Bai Shaobao, Shi Li, Tu Lizhu, and all the investigators have arrived, forming a semi-encirclement around the masked woman.

Sister Qiu: "..."

What the hell is going on while I'm playing the game?Have you opened the BOSS yet?

……

In the eyes of Shi Li, who was cursed by the yellow seal, the scene in the banquet hall was different.

A figure... The guests in the banquet hall were suspended from the ceiling by invisible ropes, their limbs twitched, and they struggled in excruciating pain.

【Alison Smith SC1/1D6】

[Alison Smith Sanity Check 3/34 succeeded]

[Current remaining sanity value is 33]

"Hmm." She suppressed her retching and stared at Sayoko in front of her.

……

Bai Shaobao aimed his gun at Sayoko who had "resurrected from the dead" again.

"Please don't..." Chen Qiang pretended to stop Bai Shaobao.

Bai Shaobao ignored Chen Qiang, with a cold face, he fired bullets at Sayoko again.

[Bai Shaobao succeeded in shooting test 35/75]

The bullet from the rifle hit Sayoko's body again, but it had no effect as if it passed directly through her body.

Bai Shaobao pulled the trigger one after another, but all the attacks were like stones submerged in the sea.

"Enough, Xiaobai," Chen Qiang stood in front of Xiao Yezi, "That's it."

"Are you going to stand by her side?" Bai Shaobao sneered.

"I just don't want people to be hurt needlessly." Chen Qiang looked very indifferent.

"You mean her... this monster?" Tu Lizhu stared.

"It's you," Chen Qiang shook his head, "Now Xiao Yezi can deal with you as easily as breathing. Am I right, Xiao Yezi?"

"I will be the vessel for the king in yellow to descend into the world," Sayoko said slowly, many tiny tentacles protruding from the edge of her mask, "I have begun to transform into the king in yellow; Is becoming Carcosa. You are powerless before the King in Yellow and his great city."

"What is the king in yellow?" Tu Lizhu was puzzled.

"The king in yellow... is the truth." On the big screen, the man in white said calmly, as if he could hear everyone's conversation.

【SC0/1D3】

【艾莉森·史密斯理智检定54/33失败，1D3=3】

[Chen Qiang succeeded in sanity test 51/78]

【白绍保理智检定76/55失败，1D3=2】

[Christina Tu sanity check 2/69 success]

【爱丽丝·秋理智检定37/15失败。1D3=2】

Except for Chen Qiang, who knew the plot long ago, and Tu Lizhu, who didn't understand the plot at all, everyone else felt chills all over their bodies.Sister Qiu sat down on the ground again, and Shi Li supported the table, staring at the monster in front of her.

In Shi Li's eyes at this moment, the whole building has become ferocious and distorted, and even the faces of the companions have begun to rot, only Xiao Yezi and the white figure on the screen are so real and unchanged.

[Current Sanity: Alison Smith 30, Chen Qiang 78, Bai Shaobao 53, Christina Tu 69, Alice Qiu 13]

"Only those who have seen the Yellow Seal see what they see is the reality of this world," Sayoko said, "rotten, chaotic, and filthy. Compared with the real king in yellow and Calcosa, all the sane on earth It's all so vain and superficial."

"If our world was originally like this, then it would be useless for us to do anything," Chen Qiang said as if laughing at himself, "I think this is why even if the game progress of "Curse of the Hanged King" is terminated, the king in yellow descends." The reason why the ceremony is still going on? This hotel complex... itself is also a huge 'seal'?"

"Chen Jun, you are really smart," Sayoko praised. "The coming of the king in yellow can be performed through any art. If the ceremony is incomplete, I have no choice but to choose 'double insurance'."

The Art of "Game" and "Architecture".

"I recall that Mr. Chambers was the architect of the building. Did he have anything to do with it? Did you kill him, or did he..."

"What does this have to do with you?" Xiao Yezi sneered.

"That's right," Chen Qiang sighed, "It's useless to say these things at this point."

"Now...Chen Jun," Xiao Yezi's voice seemed to have regained a trace of humanity, but after only a few seconds, her tone became indifferent and superior again, "Convince your friends to put down your weapons. Maybe, you And witness the arrival of Carcosa."

"Do as she says, everyone," Chen Qiang said.

He turned his back to Sayoko, and met Bai Shaobao's eyes.

So Bai Shaobao understood...

"Listen to Chen Qiang." He said, and slowly put down his shotgun with the last bullet left.

"You are really obedient." Xiao Yezi sneered.

"I will never hurt you, Xiao Yezi," Chen Qiang said softly, faithfully playing his role, and everything was within the plan, "Whether it is nothingness or eternal life waiting for us, I will always be with you Together, Sayako."

Tu Lizhu, who was standing on the right side of Bai Shaobao, glanced at Chen Qiang, then at Bai Shaobao, and put the gun on the ground.

"Very good," Xiao Yezi ordered, "Now, retreat to the corner. You guys go first. Chen Jun, you are the last."

Taking slow steps, the four of them slowly moved towards the corner of the room.Chen Qiang stood in front of Xiao Yezi every step of the way.

Bai Shaobao was the last one.His eyes never left Chen Qiang.

Then, when he passed by Tu Lizhu's pistol on the ground, he saw it.

Chen Qiang, who had opened his eyes wide from the beginning, blinked at him rhythmically.

He, Chen Qiang, and Xiao Yezi, the three of them are almost in a straight line——

So Bai Shaobao understood.

【Mode switching】

There was a voice that only Bai Shaobao could hear.

[Your current status has been switched from "common" to "original"]

[You will keep your virtual body, but all skills will be settled by yourself first]

Bai Shaobao felt that the weird sense of disobedience that had existed since entering the module had disappeared.

I see.Is this also in your plan, Chen Qiang?
……

As the first group of Oroqen people to walk out of the mountains, Bai Shaobao's grandfather and father hoped that Bai Shaobao could inherit his ancestral shooting skills.

Under their arrangement, Bai Shaobao became a pistol shooter.After his right hand was injured in a training session, Bai Shaobao bid farewell to the high-intensity shooting arena forever.

but now……

In the virtual world, his hands are perfectly healthy.

Many people think that the Oroqen people are good at using shotguns, but for Bai Shaobao, he is even better at using pistols!

……

[Bai Shaobao agility check 10/90 success]

"...!"

Before it was too late, Bai Shaobao picked up the pistol from the ground and pointed it at Chen Qiang.Xiao Yezi watched with a sneer that these people were "killing each other".

[Bai Shaobao (real person) pistol shooting test 23/88 success]

The bullet did not hit Chen Qiang.One second before Bai Shaobao shot, Chen Qiang turned his head slightly, and the bullet that was originally shot at Chen Qiang's head accurately, under Xiaoyako's astonished gaze, followed the original trajectory and hit her masked body directly. Between eyebrows.

[Damage 1D8=7]

The golden mask cracked several gaps.

"you this--"

Xiao Yezi bent down in pain, and stumbled backwards.Under the protection of the power of the king in yellow, she is invincible from top to bottom, but the mask itself is an exception.

Hastur the Unspeakable is terrifying; but its incarnation, the "King in Yellow Clothes", will be slightly discounted; the simulated King in Yellow Clothes that appears in the virtual space is even weaker; The container of the "King of Clothes", her transformation has just begun.

Human weapons are ridiculous in front of the Old One, but when the Old One is only a half-complete fake, human weapons alone are not invincible!
A sharp knife flashed in Chen Qiang's hand.

When Sayoko raised her head again, she saw it in horror.

Chen Qiang, who had already rushed in front of her, pierced the gap in her mask with the blade in his hand.

"Chen Jun, why..." Sayoko, who still maintained most of the human thinking patterns, couldn't believe that Chen Qiang would explode into trouble.Didn't he just make an oath to himself?
[Chen Qiang's fighting (knife) check was successful 20/25]

"Sorry, I'm a policeman..." Chen Qiang said, "I'm sorry, it's a play."

["Yoshikawa Sayoko, the container of the king in yellow" failed the dodge check 100/50]

[The maximum damage is 4 points]

Chen Qiang's blade sank deep into the center of Sayoko's eyebrows.If this blow still can't completely destroy Sayoko's mask, then let others take over.

"I'm a player." Chen Qiang said.

[You have leaked the existence of the player, it is considered as an action that does not conform to the logic of the role setting and character behavior, and additional sanity will be deducted]

【SC1D6/1D20】

[Chen Qiang failed sanity test 81/78]

【1D20=19】

Sanity pool, full.

With a painful cry, Sayoko's mask was completely shattered.

Then, her body turned into a pool of lifeless bones.

　Ask for a recommendation ticket. PS: In fact, I didn’t intend to let Chen Qiang lose the attack, and then Sayoko dice to dodge, so I followed the normal process. Instead, I planned to regard Chen Qiang as an automatic success in beating the ignorant people. It really comes out a success VS a big failure...
