Real Cthulhu Running Game

   Chapter 1034 The real mirage

   Just when Liu Xing felt a bit of a dilemma, a strange noise suddenly came from the "5" restaurant.

   Liu Xing looked over and found that there were suddenly a few fewer people in the "5" restaurant, and the other people inside seemed to be unaware that someone had disappeared, and they were still busy.

How is this going?

  Although Liu Xing is not staring at the situation in the "5" restaurant, Liu Xing can be sure that those missing people have left their original positions through normal means.

   Before Liu Xing could speak, Alice said first: "Liu Xing, you just saw that a few people in the No. 5 restaurant suddenly disappeared. There must be something wrong."

Liu Xing nodded and said with some doubts: "If I guessed correctly, the people who just disappeared should be members of the public faction, but what I don't understand is why they didn't leave through normal means? I If there is any secret hidden in this restaurant, it is definitely not in the lobby, so there is absolutely no need for them to pass this way..."

   Before Liu Xing's words were finished, he saw that the middle-aged man who was looking around at the door also suddenly disappeared.

What exactly is going on?

   Liu Xing and Alice were speechless and could see the question mark in each other's eyes.

   In the end, before Liu Xing could speak again, someone else suddenly disappeared from the "5" restaurant.

   "If I remember correctly, you have a saying in China that hearing is delusional, but seeing is believing."

  Alice suddenly said: "Seeing is not necessarily believing, so we have to practice it ourselves to know what is going on."

   Looking at Alice with a serious face, Liu Xing knew that she now has a bold idea, which is to enter the "5" restaurant!

  Although it is a bit bold, to find out what is going on, it is indeed necessary to enter the "5" restaurant to find out.

However, this "5" restaurant is likely to be an important stronghold of the public faction, so Liu Xing is very worried that if he and Alice go in like this, there will be no return. After all, the combined combat power of himself and Alice may not be enough. Double digits.

   So, Liu Xing didn't know what to say for a while.

   But at this moment, two shadows suddenly appeared next to Liu Xing and Alice.

   The startled Liu Xing almost cried out, but fortunately at the last moment it was clear that Li Hanxing and Sun Huiwen were coming.

   It seems that they saw the signpost that Alice left behind, so they rushed here so quickly.

   As for Zhang Jingxu and others who are non-professionals, they should still be rushing this way.

After taking a deep breath, Liu Xing shook his head and said: "Friends, don't you know what is scary, scaring people to death? It's really scary that this black light suddenly appears, I almost wanted to face you just now. gun."

Li Hanxing on the side of    shrugged, and said somewhat unexpectedly: "Didn't you just look at us? I thought you had already seen us."

   "Oh, we were thinking about things just now, so it seemed that we were looking at you, but in fact we were thinking about problems." Alice explained: "Have you seen Zhang Jingxu and the others?"

Sun Huiwen nodded and said seriously: "When the members of the public faction were setting off smoke bombs, Li Hanxing and I tried to take advantage of the chaos to get in and climb under the van to sneak into the public faction's lair. It was found that the chassis of the pickup truck didn't even have a place to start, so we had to get out of it very embarrassedly. As a result, after the pickup truck drove away, we saw Zhang Jingxu and the others had reunited. Then turned into another street, I think they must have found something,"

Liu Xing raised his brows and said in a low voice, "Could it be that Zhang Jingxu and the others have fallen for the trick of the public faction? Or are there any clues in another street? It seems that we can't expect Zhang Jingxu and the others to come here in a short period of time; But then again, have you seen any trace of the sniper?"

Li Hanxing thought for a while, then shook his head and said: "When we left the range of Nagoya Castle, we paid attention to the sniper's movements, but the sniper obviously did not intend to cooperate with us, and he did not intend to cooperate with us. The signal is indifferent, so we can only follow along according to the signs you left, so what is the situation here, why are you staying here instead of outside Atsuta Shrine?"

   Liu Xing explained the current situation of "5" restaurant.

   "It's funny, the inside of this restaurant doesn't look as peaceful as we see it."

Li Hanxing squinted his eyes and said, "Sun Huiwen and I encountered a similar situation before, but we lost some supplies due to some accidents during the journey. You should know that you can't lack water in the desert Gobi. So we temporarily diverted our route to an oasis to replenish drinking water, but we were delayed for a while because the car broke down, and finally we arrived at the oasis in the middle of the night; that oasis was controlled by a small tribe, and that route It is well-received for its fair price, and cars that usually take that route will go there if they need it.”

"Our captain and the leader of that tribe are old acquaintances, so we have been to that oasis several times. Every time we went there, we would see a lot of vehicles parked there. Drivers and passengers should eat and eat. , the supply of the supply, I stayed at the oasis when it was late. In short, the oasis was usually very lively, but before we parked on the periphery of the oasis, we noticed that the oasis was a bit strange, although there was something wrong with it. The voices of few people talking can also see a lot of people, but it always gives people a kind of unreal feeling, so we realized that something was wrong and we did not directly enter it."

"We first found a high ground to observe secretly, and as a result, we saw the same situation as Liu Xing and you just saw - there are many people who seem to be normal in the oasis, and as a result, one or two people will suddenly disappear from time to time. We realized there was something wrong with this place, but we better have to go in again, because if we don't go in, we won't get a supply of drinking water, and it's basically impossible for us to survive to the next supply point, so We could only grit our teeth and bite the bullet and walked into the oasis, and guess what, as soon as we entered, we found that the situation inside the oasis was completely different from what we saw outside!"

   Hearing this, Alice slapped her thigh and said, "I remember, my master mentioned one thing when he was bragging with us before, and that is the real mirage!"

"That's right, it's the real mirage!" Li Hanxing nodded and said, "Actually, the real mirage is not the mirage that we humans call it. There is not even a little relationship between the two, but there are many people who say this. Even if the name is set; in simple terms, the real mirage is actually a very special space, and no one, not even mythical creatures, until now has determined how this real mirage came to be, and that it exists What is the purpose, but some people speculate that the real mirage is related to the Old Ones, because some people who got away claim that they saw the Old Ones inside."

"Back to the topic, the appearance of the real mirage will directly cover an area, and integrate the creatures in this area into it, and when outsiders look at this area, they will find that this area is normal, except that if someone died in the In this real mirage, then in the eyes of outsiders, this person suddenly disappeared; there are six real mirages recorded so far, one of which is the Ottoman city where I and Sun Huiwen once entered. To put it bluntly, it is a large area. An Ottoman-style town, an urban-style mirage, and an industrial city on an icefield presumably belonged to Maozi.”

"Besides, there is a twin island mirage composed of a holiday island and a desert island. A dark forest where you can't find a way out, a mine that can produce a lot of gold, and a mine that seems to be thousands of years old. A very modern castle inside; these four real mirages have different styles, but the core is the same, that is, either to solve the task released by this mirage, or to live in this mirage to the end... Of course, Another way to leave is to find the owner of this mirage - an old master."

After listening to Li Hanxing's words, Liu Xing knew that this so-called "real mirage" should be essentially a special module created by the game hall of the Cthulhu Running Group, and it seems that a batch of "lucky" will be randomly selected. The player enters it.

   But the most important thing is that if special mods like this are not "event-limited", then these special mods are typically high-risk and high-reward - although mods are difficult, they often give players a lot of rewards for clearing the game.

   Thinking of this, Liu Xing gave Li Hanxing a questioning look.

Li Hanxing understood and continued: "Even if it is the same mirage, the tasks after entering will be different each time. For example, the task we needed to complete that time was to find a flying carpet hidden in the city, and then put this The flying carpet is dedicated to Emil, the city's lord. In addition, the tasks that others have encountered are basically the same. They are all looking for a treasure and handing it to Emir. If you can't find it within the time limit If they arrive, they will be thrown into prison by Emir’s men, and they will either starve to death or die of thirst.”

"As for completing the task, Emile will decide the reward based on the time you spend. The highest reward is the treasure you found, and the general reward will be a magic item, and the lowest reward will be a magic item. It should be gold and silver jewelry, so if we want to enter this No. 5 restaurant later, I hope we can see a city on the desert Gobi when we open our eyes, so that Sun Huiwen and I can still find our way."

   Now the question comes back - do you want to enter this "5" restaurant?

  Of course, the most tangled question for Liu Xing now is why is this "5" restaurant targeted by this real mirage? To be precise, is this special mod coming to you temporarily, or will the "5" restaurant itself trigger this special mod?

   Liu Xing thinks that this should be the latter, because Liu Xing does not think that when the big event of the Battle of Gongwu is held in the game hall of the Cthulhu Running Group, it will still open this kind of variable special module in the island region.

In case the manpower of a certain faction was originally advancing at full speed, ready to support teammates in an important area, but was involved in this special module halfway, and finally passed this special module, only to find that he His teammates were wiped out because they did not receive timely support.

  This affects the balance of the game somewhat.

   Therefore, Liu Xing thinks that the module prepared for the final defeat to the "5" restaurant is this special module, and the reason why this special module will be activated now is probably because of the public faction.

   If that’s the case, that’s pretty interesting.

  Because at this time, special mods like this should only be activated by players, so why should players of public factions actively activate this very difficult special mod?

   Is that treasure related to this special mod?

Liu Xing suddenly thought of a possibility, that is, the treasure buried under Nagoya Castle came from this special module, and the reason why the public faction brought this treasure back into this special module , it is very likely to upgrade this treasure when completing the task again, so that the cost of using this treasure will be reduced, or even disappear completely.

  Thinking of this, Liu Xing immediately told Alice and others what he thought.

"If that's the case, then we'll have to enter Restaurant No. 5, because if the public faction succeeds, then not only will we lose control of Nagoya this time, but we'll also be at odds with each other in the next battle of public arms. Downwind." Li Hanxing got up and said, "So, shall we go in now?"

   Liu Xing and Alice looked at each other, and also got up and said, "Then let's go!"

   After confirming that there should be no members of the public faction around to pay attention, Liu Xing and the four quickly opened the door of the "5" restaurant, and then plunged in directly.

   So, after a long-lost sight, an old castle appeared in front of Liu Xing's eyes.

  This castle is several times bigger than Eins Castle, and it looks like it is a few years old, but the most important thing is that on the wall of this castle, Liu Xing can see several guards holding crossbows.
