Real Cthulhu Running Game

   Chapter 994 Thief

   But now, Liu Xing doubts that he can really predict the future by dreaming. After all, his inspiration value in the real world has reached 90 points.

  Unfortunately, Liu Xing did not predict that he would enter the game hall of the Cthulhu Running Group.

   Liu Xing shook his head and decided to wait until the end of the Battle of Gongwu to go to the san value store.

   At this time, Alice also returned to normal, and said to Liu Xing with a smile: "Liu Xing, do you think if I showed my real body in front of Zhang Jingxu and the others, would they be surprised?"

Liu Xing nodded and said affirmatively: "That's for sure, because in their eyes you are still an NPC, so if you suddenly appear when we are in the secret room time, I guarantee Zhang Jingxu and the others will be frightened enough, after all The punishment of over-travelling is still too scary for players."

   But having said that, now Liu Xing finally understands why the Cthulhu running group game hall sets the penalty for super-touring so high. To put it bluntly, he is worried that the player's words will cause the NPCs who hear it to wake up.

   "By the way, Alice, do you still remember what happened before? I mean can you remember how the Cthulhu running group game hall assimilated this world." Liu Xing asked suddenly.

Alice thought for a while, and then said unsurely: "I can really remember some things about the past now, such as me and my parents do not live in London, but in a small town near Birmingham, and My father's occupation is a programmer; as for how the Cthulhu Running Group game hall assimilated the world, I only remember one thing - the Cthulhu Running Group game hall is sending out mythical creatures and the Old Ones Ordinary people like us have been informed about it before... so there was a riot in the town where I was, or the whole world was thrown into chaos."

   Makes sense.

  People really can do anything before they die. . . Except math.

However, from Alice's words, Liu Xing can at least draw a conclusion, that is, after the Cthulhu running group game hall assimilates and gamifies a world, then it will also carry out certain transformations on this world, re-integrating NPCs. assigned to appropriate locations. . . Judging from the modules that Liu Xing has experienced so far, there is only one criterion for assigning identities to NPCs in the Cthulhu Running Group game hall, and that is appearance.

That's right, Liu Xing thought about it carefully and found that the NPCs he encountered before, except for some specific roles, such as Fisherman Village, Dilong Village, the village chief needs an old man, other important NPCs are basically selected. The kind of handsome men and beautiful women who can be recognized from the crowd at a glance.

   Sure enough, this is a time to see faces.

  After solving the problem of Alice's "identity", Alice began to study the opaque crystal, after all, this is the purpose of Alice's visit.

But it's just research. In fact, Alice put the crystal on an instrument similar to a microscope, and then set the time and was ready to go to sleep, because this instrument takes twelve hours to be able to correct This crystal was subjected to preliminary analysis.

"This instrument is the most powerful analyzer that we humans can make at present, although this analyzer still draws on the technology of the ancients, the Yith people, and even the Mi Go clan; this analyzer can Some objects are effectively analyzed, and then the analysis results are compared in the database. As long as there are corresponding data in the database, the reliability of the analysis results can reach more than 80%." Alice said with a bit of disgust, " Of course, if the corresponding data is not collected in the database, then the results obtained by this analyzer are very unreliable, and it can be said that it has no reference value at all."

   Liu Xing glanced at the analyzer, and suddenly felt that he might have a good look at this analyzer.

   After helping Alice tidy up the room, Liu Xing directly ignored the hints in Alice's eyes, and honestly returned to his room to rest. . .

   Nothing happened overnight.

   Early the next morning, some Liu Xing, who was not sleeping well, got up to wash up, only to find that Li Hanxing and Sun Huiwen were talking in front of the analyzer.

   When he heard Liu Xing's footsteps, Li Hanxing reached out and greeted Liu Xing to hurry over.

   Liu Xing walked over quickly and found that the transparent crystal had turned into a pool of translucent gray liquid at this time, and it also faintly emitted a kind of fragrance that Liu Xing could not tell.

   "Li Hanxing, Sun Huiwen, did you two do anything to this crystal?" Liu Xing asked with some doubts.

  Li Hanxing quickly shook his head and said seriously: "We didn't do anything, not to mention Liu Xing, you don't know how hard this thing is, we really have no ability to melt it."

"That's right, the hardness of this thing exceeds that of diamond." Liu Xing touched the back of his head and said, "To be honest, I have never seen what it looks like when diamond turns into liquid, but then again, you guys Aren't you afraid that this crystal will release some germs after it melts?"

Sun Huiwen picked up a small transparent box with holes from under his feet, which contained dozens of small ants that were alive and kicking, "This is a special kind of ants that our captain used to raise, they are very sensitive to toxins, as long as there is a little poisonous gas in the air They would all die immediately, so we tried it with these little guys at the beginning, and nothing happened."

   Hearing this, Liu Xing finally felt relieved and approached the analyzer.

  This analyzer is somewhat similar in structure to a microscope, but at the very top is a liquid crystal display that shows the current status of the analyte.

   In the unknown liquid at this time, Liu Xing saw a lot of debris.

   Liu Xing touched the back of his head subconsciously and said, "This unknown liquid is not really our dandruff, right?"

Li Hanxing shook his head and said affirmatively: "That's impossible, we can be said to be careful when moving this crystal, it is logically impossible to provoke so many dandruff, not to mention the size of these dandruff is wrong. . . "

   Before Li Hanxing finished speaking, he saw Alice walking over in a hurry, "What's going on? Is there something wrong with that analyzer again?"

   Liu Xing shook his head and briefly said the current situation.

Alice took a look at the situation herself, and said somewhat unexpectedly: "It shouldn't be, although this analyzer will use special means to divide and melt the analyzed body when necessary, but it will only take out a little sample. It's just, it is impossible to completely melt the analyte, so it should be the crystal that melts on its own."

   Speaking of this, Alice seemed to have suddenly thought of something, and quickly took out her mobile phone and called his master.

  Because Li Hanxing and Sun Huiwen were still outsiders in Alice's eyes, Alice hid by herself to make a phone call, and Liu Xing and others could only occasionally hear a few words that Alice said.

   One of the things that made Liu Xing most concerned was that Alice mentioned the word "soul" on the phone.

   This is not good news, as this is likely evidence that Turner is still alive.

After a while, Alice put down her phone and said, "I just chatted with my master, and basically I can confirm that this crystal should be a man-made object related to the soul. Simply put, this is someone trying to temporarily seal the soul. The artificial crystals made, because those things that look like dandruff are called soul rope grass, can play a certain role in fixing the soul, and when the soul in the soul rope grass is out of control, the soul rope grass will also It breaks directly into pieces, just like dandruff, and it also emits a special smell."

Speaking of this, Alice was silent for a moment, and then said with some doubts: "The smell emitted by the soul rope grass after it is broken is not fixed, because it will determine its own smell according to whether the soul sealed by it is good or evil. Smells or stinks."

   Liu Xing raised his brows and said with the same doubts: "In that case, Turner's soul is kind?"

"Theoretically, this is the case, but it may also be the smell of other ingredients, that is, these gray translucent liquids. My master thinks that this liquid is likely to be a composite material... a kind of material that has not appeared on earth. A composite of ingredients," Alice said, frowning.

   If Alice's master guessed correctly, then Liu Xing can be sure that Turner has turned into Bai Liang.

Just when Liu Xing was about to retrieve the monitoring data of the "periscope" by the wall, Alice shook her head and said, "It stands to reason that this kind of composite material should be very stable, and it should not melt, because it is unstable. Composite materials are likely to cause the soul to escape, that is, you Chinese people often say that the soul is lost, which will cause the soul to be revived or have an accident when it enters a new body."

After pacing back and forth for a while, Alice clapped her hands and said, "Didn't Liu Xing say that this crystal was left in the fire after a big fire? Then have you ever thought about a question, that is, the arsonist didn't want to Free the soul, but want to control someone's soul in their own hands after killing someone?"

  Alice's reverse operation made Liu Xing and the three people stunned for a while, because Liu Xing and the three had never thought about such a situation.

   And now think about it so carefully, Liu Xing thinks that the possibility is not low.

However, it is actually very easy to verify this, that is, to find Mai Yuqiang and let Mai Yuqiang enter to check the resident population of Duwangding, so that we can determine whether there are any missing persons in the past few days. .

   As soon as he said it, Liu Xing immediately took out his mobile phone and called Mai Yuqiang. . . But Liu Xing just took out the phone when Alice pressed it.

"Don't scare the snake." Alice said seriously: "I had a special understanding of Duwang Town before I came here, so I know that there are more people in Duwang Town than you think, but there are many ordinary people. It is going to and from Duwang Town and Nagoya for work, so Liu Xing, if you want to send your friends in Duwang Town to investigate a person, it is very likely that you will startle the snake and give the arsonist an opportunity."

   "Then what should we do? Should we passively wait for the outcome of this matter?" Liu Xing said puzzled.

To Liu Xing's surprise, Alice really nodded, "Yes, what we should do at the moment is to do nothing, because the arsonist will definitely find a way to get this crystal, even if it has been transformed into The water is gone, after all, there is still a part of the soul in this pool of water."

   Liu Xing couldn't help but look at the pool of "water", but he didn't expect there to be souls in it.

"Although the soul rope grass has been broken, the soul of Xiaocuo has no self-consciousness, so these souls will stick to their positions no matter what, waiting for the big army to bring them back, so this crystal turned into a liquid although I don't know why. That's right, but we can still use it as bait and act like a rabbit." Alice said with a smile.

   Liu Xing's heart suddenly got a bit of bad thoughts, and he said, "So is there any way we can..."

   Having said that, Liu Xing gestured on his neck.

Alice rolled her eyes at Liu Xing, nodded and said: "As long as you know the location of the soul, it is not difficult to erase the soul. There are several reliable methods that I know of, but these methods are difficult to operate. But they are all very high, and if you don't play well, you may backfire on yourself; of course, if Liu Xing has any magic weapon against the soul in your hand, then it is a very easy thing to erase the soul here. already."

"However, the number of souls here may be only a fraction of a fraction, which means that even if you erase these souls, it will not cause any damage to its body, and at most it will only make him sway for a while for no reason; so I personally suggest that we It’s better to take these souls and wait for the rabbits, if you can, Liu Xing, you can go and get the remaining crystals, I believe we should have a good harvest.”

   As a result, just after Alice's words were finished, Liu Xing received a call from Dior.

   Liu Xing turned on the speakerphone and answered the phone, Dior on the other end of the phone couldn't wait to say: "Liu Xing, is there something wrong with the crystal in your hand?"

   Liu Xing looked at the pool of "water" and didn't know whether to say something or nothing.

However, Dior on the other end of the phone did not give Liu Xing much time to think, and continued: "It's like this, someone sneaked into the headquarters of the Duwang Town Protection Association yesterday, trying to steal the remedies and other crystals stored there. , but this guy's lack of learning triggered the alarm, so he didn't succeed in the end, but we didn't capture him either, so we're worried that he will come to trouble you."
