my cthulhu game

Chapter 47...

One of the questions that Chen Qiang thinks about the most is: What is the real identity of the enemy?
Although there are not many clues at present, it is enough for Chen Qiang, a man with 55% of Cthulhu mythology, to make a prediction...

The name of the module this time is "Voice Beyond Time", which is reminiscent of Lovecraft's original Cthulhu novel "Shadow Beyond Time".

The mythical creatures directly involved in "Shadows Beyond Time" are the Yithians, but according to Chen Qiang's understanding of the Yithians, the Yithians are extremely technologically advanced, but they have little interest in the act of summoning outer gods to die.

In Chen Qiang's eyes, another mythical creature that likes to use the power of technology - "Mi Ge", the fungus from Yugos is more suspected.This Pluto-dwelling race worships many Outer Gods and Old Ones, including the three most famous Outer Gods—Yug Sothoth, Gauze Nicholas, and Nyarlathotep.

Like Yisi people, Mi Ge also likes to tinker with various black technology devices.They are particularly good at brain replacement surgery. Perhaps among those who rented the old theater, someone's brain was replaced by Mi Go's brain.

Mi Go is a creature good at using frozen weapons.Chen Qiang also prepared polar equipment and supplies for treating frostbite. I don't know how much it can be used for.

And Uncle Xu is his bodyguard, so he doesn't have to worry about losing his mind.

……

Uncle Xu's MP has been dissatisfied all year round because of maintaining the human form.The spell passed by the high priest can also change into the appearance of other people, but the consumption of MP will be extremely severe.

In the running group rules, ghouls can launch a total of three claw and bite attacks per round, which is displayed as "hands-on-handedness" in this real game.Uncle Xu's physical fitness is considered top-notch among the ghouls, but the last [Hygiene] slot is full...

"Let's go, Uncle Xu."

Chen Qiang took a deep breath.

The tricycle finally drove 500 meters around the target site.

[Module: "Sound Beyond Time" has started]

[From now on, as long as you stay in City D, you can see the dice test results of all investigators]

……

"Mr. Chen...Xiao Chen, shall we just break in like this?" Standing in front of the majestic gate of the old theater, Uncle Xu asked suspiciously.Under the night, the huge oval theater looks like a monster that devours everything.

Chen Qiang didn't speak.

He put his ear to the door.

[Chen Qiang failed the listening check 90/70]

"Uncle Xu, come and listen." Chen Qiang said.

Sounds that can be heard directly by a hearing person do not require a Listen check, but failing a Listen check may miss important warnings or clues.

[Xu Shu failed the listening check 74/30]

... The second consecutive failure, the beginning is not good, Chen Qiang thought.

"There's no sound at all." Uncle Xu shook his head.

Chen Qiang glanced at the old gate.The gates are tight but in disrepair.

"I think the sound insulation of this door is not so good that we can't hear the noise of the mining machine." Chen Qiang said.

"Maybe it's placed farther away." Uncle Xu guessed.

"Or, it's not turned on at all." Chen Qiang said.

The two turned to the side entrance of the Grand Theater.

"It's not locked." Chen Qiang narrowed his eyes.

"Shall we go in?" Uncle Xu asked anxiously.

"Wait a minute."

[Chen Qiang's detection check was 40/66 successful]

[Xu Shu's detection check failed 70/50]

The two groped back and forth in the nearby grass.

"I found it." Chen Qiang's flashlight found a lock, which was obviously pried open by external force.

"It's very rusted." Uncle Xu touched the lock.

"It seems that we are not the first group of people to visit here. Let's go in and have a look," Chen Qiang said, "If there are no thieves inside, we can remind the owner that it's time to change the lock."

The two strolled around the entire building.In addition to this side door, there are several fire escape doors that are also ajar.Chen Qiang directly used a string saw to destroy those door hinges - they couldn't be closed anyway, Chen Qiang didn't want to see the closing door killing plot in ghost movies later.

Chen Qiang, who had already read the floor plan of the building, had several routes of entry and escape in his mind.Then, he and Uncle Xu went back to the door that was first opened by someone.

Chen Qiang put on his tactical goggles.

If someone or something else is watching them, he'll be prompted to listen or detect...

Yet nothing.

Now, myself and Uncle Xu should not have been discovered by anyone or anything.

"Uncle Xu, you..."

Standing in front of the dilapidated side door, Chen Qiang originally wanted to say "you go in first", but the sudden sense of guilt made him change his mind.Uncle Xu has no doubts about himself, so——

"You go ahead," Chen Qiang said, handing Uncle Xu an electronic goggle, "and then put on these too."

"I don't need it," said Uncle Xu sincerely, "I can see better at night."

"It not only allows you to see more clearly," Chen Qiang emphasized, "it can also monitor radiation in the dark, infrared and ultraviolet rays, harmful gases, and other things. I have set a special mode, press this button , can switch between the subjective field of view and the camera field of view, and use this method to determine whether you are under the illusion."

"Xiao Chen, where did this thing come from?" Uncle Xu was shocked.

"I went to Tokyo last summer for a business trip...to travel," Chen Qiang almost slipped out that he helped his father run another company, "I ordered it from a group of survival freaks on a whim. Their last expedition was to look like Fukushima." .”

"I see……"

As if walking through a Minotaur maze, Chen Qiang slightly damaged the hinge of the side door, then stuck it with a stone, and finally tied it to the doorknob with a thin transparent thread, maintaining a posture facing the outside world, with the back of his head facing toward the In the side corridor of the Grand Theatre, using the extra rear camera of the goggles, he can observe the "road ahead" and "the road from" at the same time.

"Let's go."

The two walked in very slowly (Uncle Xu was facing forward, while Chen Qiang was walking backwards while putting down the rope), and stopped in front of the door leading to the main stage.

"Can you hear the sound?"

[Chen Qiang succeeded in listening test 43/70]

[Xu Shu failed the listening check 92/40]

"I can't hear anything." Uncle Xu shook his head.

"Me too." Chen Qiang said.

Roll success and failure are the same feedback.

Ah.That way you can be sure.

As a precaution, Chen Qiang once again confirmed the temperature and radiation prompts on the electronic goggles.everything is normal.There is no noise and temperature changes caused by the operation of the mining machine.

Under Chen Qiang's signal, Uncle Xu yanked open the door.
