Real Cthulhu Running Game

   Chapter 1215 Selling dog meat

  Thinking of this, Liu Xing quickly took out his mobile phone and called Zhang Jingxu.

   "Liu Xing, what's the matter..."

   Before Zhang Jingxu's words were finished, Liu Xing interrupted, "Zhang Jingxu, do you know the scorpion?"

"Danji? You know, this can be regarded as a mythical creature unique to China, because a person who wants to become a dryx must be in a cursed state when he dies, or be buried with some cursed items; Although there are many kinds of curses that can turn a person into a drought, except for a special curse, the probability of other curses turning a person into a drought is only about 5%, and the success probability of the curse is As high as 70%, but this requires certain external conditions, that is, the burial site needs to be in a state of drought and low rainfall for a long time."

"And this drought mantra is very special. It must be recited in a local dialect of China that is almost lost, and it has requirements for pitch and speech speed. It is equivalent to going to a KTV to sing a difficult song, and finally The system score is still at 100, so this drought spell has always been circulated on a small scale, that is, those areas that were prone to drought in ancient times; therefore, from ancient times to the present, the drought has only appeared in China, and the frequency of occurrence is also different. Not very high, after all, the widow's intelligence is very low, and the aggression is also very strong, so those who try to create and control the widow for their own use are basically asking for trouble in the end."

"Of course, some droughts are purely accidental. For example, in some chaotic times, some secret churches like to impose curses on some treasures, and then find ways to give them to those who do not deal with them, and these People who died because of the curse, or who were buried with these cursed treasures during burial, they may become drought and suddenly appear to harm the party. For example, I remember that during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, there was a large After the general died, he turned into a dwarf, directly turning a nearby city into a ghost town."

"By the way, I forgot to tell you that although there is only one ability of a scorpion, that is to heat the surrounding air to achieve the effect of scalding the enemy, but this ability is really powerful, because even a ghoul or something like that. Mythical creatures also have a lot of water in their bodies, so they are easy to be heated into ghouls when they are in close combat with the dry spell. Therefore, when dealing with dry spells, Huaxia Daomen can only use long-range spells to deal with them; however, between dry spells The individual differences are still quite big, as I just said, the scorpion who turned from a general can hang more than a dozen scorpions that were turned from ordinary people."

"The reason is very simple. Since the scorpion is a pure melee type mythical creature, the stronger the melee ability of a scorpion, the more powerful it will be after its transformation. Therefore, some people planned to use Li Yuanba as a scorpion. As a result, their luck was very bad. Li Yuanba, whose coffin was still filled with various cursed items, was placed under the drought curse and buried in the drought for several years, but he did not become a drought. Of course, this is also a good thing. , because if Li Yuanba really turns into a scumbag, I am afraid that Huaxia Daomen will have to pay a very high price to kill him."

   Speaking of this, Zhang Jingxu asked curiously: "So why did you suddenly think of asking me about the scorpion, Liu Xing?"

   "Because there might be a scythe under the farm where we live!"

As soon as Liu Xing said this, he heard a harsh braking sound coming from the other end of the phone, "What the hell, Liu Xing, are you kidding me? How could there be droughts under the farm where we live? You need to know that from Since more than 500 years ago, there has not been a single scorpion in China! Because those who knew the scorpion spell were all killed and injured in a war, and the scorpion was not easy to use with human-faced mice, so over time It's been lost."

   Liu Xing sighed and told Zhang Jingxu the current situation.

After a while, Zhang Jingxu said: "Indeed, it looks like a scorpion is about to be born, but this scorpion should not be underground, because if it is really underground, then you should be able to feel it now. The temperature down to the ground is abnormal, and the soil on the surface is unlikely to be good; so I suspect that this scorpion may be located near the farm, but I still can't figure out why there are scorpions in the island country? It is necessary to know that the island country, especially close to It is impossible for a long-term drought to occur on the Nagoya side of the sea, and in fact, there has been no drought in the past two years, so this drought should have stopped changing."

Liu Xing took a look at the weather changes in Nagoya in the past two years and found that the summers in the past two years were hot and hot, but the rainfall was still quite high, so it did not meet the changing conditions of the drought, but according to the experience of the original owner of the farm , this drought is indeed constantly changing.

  Wait, is it?

Liu Xing suddenly thought of a possibility, "Zhang Jingxu, do you think there is such a possibility, that is to use modern technology to promote the change? For example, install several high-power light bulbs next to its coffin, and then use These props to simulate the high temperature and drought environment?"

   "Uh, seems like it's really okay?"

After thinking for a moment, Zhang Jingxu said: "In ancient times, there were also people who tried to catalyze drought by means of torches and kangs, but they all failed without exception because they could not control the appropriate temperature; but now It is different. With the development of science and technology, it is easy and effortless for us to control the temperature and other conditions of a room. Therefore, it is indeed possible to complete the changes of drought through scientific and technological means. After all, the drought cannot distinguish the natural environment. and the artificial environment.”

   "Okay, I'll find someone to investigate if there are any companies or households nearby that consume abnormal power."

   Liu Xing hung up the phone after finishing speaking, and then sent a text message to Alice, briefly explaining the current situation.

At this moment, Xiaofu Guchuan, who was listening silently with a finger beside him, said, "Is it a scorpion? I have heard of this mythical creature, but as Mr. Zhang Jingxu said, scorpions have never appeared in China. Other places, but the leader once told me that there is a secret church called researchers, which has been working on the study of the physiological structure of various mythical creatures, and this secret church also has branches in the island country."

   "Researcher?"

Liu Xing frowned and thought about it, and found that he had really heard of this secret church. Of course, this secret church could not actually be regarded as a "normal" secret church, because the members of this secret church gathered together for only one purpose— - Research a variety of mythical creatures.

In addition, there is very little information about this secret church. The outside world only knows that they have a professional capture team that will attack the single mythical creatures all over the world, so there are many secret churches. They are regarded as enemies, but they have nothing to do with researchers, because no one knows where the headquarters of the research society is, nor who the main members of the research society are.

As for the branch in the mouth of Xiaofu Guchuan, it is actually a guess, but this kind of guess is quite reliable, because the island country is a very strange place, and a large number of secret churches have gathered, which has also led to the island country. Diversity of mythical creatures Sex is far superior to other countries, except for big countries like China.

So Liu Xing once heard a report from Sawada Yain that thousands of mythical creatures go missing every year in the island country. Churches are also some "upright people". If they kill the mythical creatures of the opponent's house, then they will not hide it.

   Therefore, some people think that these good things are done by researchers.

In addition, Liu Xing has also heard some analysis about the researcher in the forum. Some people think that this researcher is likely to be a secret church dominated by players, and the reason why these players do this is In fact, there is only one - learn more about the specific situation of the mythical creature.

  After all, the rule book only briefly introduces various mythical creatures, and these mythical creatures are very directly digitized, which leads to the player's understanding of mythical creatures being superficial.

Although these simple understandings about mythical creatures are very enough for players, after all, there is a saying that as long as the monster can brighten its blood bar, then we players have a way to kill it, so as long as you know this myth General information about the creature, players will know how to deal with it. . . Or how to escape better.

However, Liu Xing, like some other players, feels that it is necessary to understand the specific situation of these mythical creatures in more detail now. After all, the Cthulhu Running Group game hall is pursuing authenticity, or the Cthulhu Running Group game hall. Everything is actually true, so those mythical creatures can no longer be simply summarized by those written in the rule book, not to mention some things have not been written in the rule book, such as whether different types of toxins can affect certain myths. Creatures produce different effects, or how much resistance a mythical creature has to different types of magic.

   However, no player has ever admitted to being a researcher on the forum.

   So over time, Liu Xing put the researcher behind him, but he didn't expect to hear the researcher's name again at this time.

But having said that, Liu Xing really thinks that researchers may be interested in the man-made mythical creatures that have disappeared for a long time. After all, things are rare and expensive. This researcher has existed for decades, and should have long ago Common mythical creatures such as ghouls and deep dives are almost "studied", so they should also focus on the less common mythical creatures.

Thinking of this, a story emerged in Liu Xing's mind - a member of the researcher got the long-lost drought spell in China, or a cursed item, so he brought it back to the island country I want to create a brand new raven. . . However, it is also possible that when someone in the island country was buried, his family mistakenly placed a cursed object in his coffin, causing the person to begin to evolve towards a dry scorpion, and in the process of evolution because of his involuntary The high temperature exuded made the nearby land look exactly the same as today's farms, so the researchers discovered a changing scorpion, so they managed to transfer the semi-finished scorpion.

All in all, after the researchers got a semi-finished scorpion, they took it to the outskirts of Nagoya, because there are many factories in this area, so they can use the guise of factories to consume a lot of electricity to maintain a suitable place for scorpions. changing environment.

  The most important thing is that the best way to deal with the drought is to directly flood it with water, because if the body temperature of the drought is lowered to a certain level, its abilities in all aspects will be severely weakened, and it will even end directly like an ordinary person. . . But having said that, Liu Xing had heard of a ghoul that fell into the sea by accident. In the end, because it was so far away from the land, it insisted for three days and three nights before it sank to the bottom of the sea. For the "most humiliating death" ghoul.

Although Liu Xing doesn't know if this is true or not, it is certain that some mythical creatures are only hundreds of millions of points stronger than ordinary humans, so they may also die on the spot due to various accidents. For example, Liu Xing heard that The deep diver who was coked by high-voltage electricity, the Shoggoth who was poured into a concrete block, and the human-faced rat who died from eating rat poison.

   This is very real.

   Just when Liu Xing was thinking about the possibility that the scorpion might be put in a water tank for research by the researchers who caught it, Alice sent back a text message.

   This text message is Liu Xing's first question in reply - what happened to the farm before the Zetian family took over.

In addition to the contents investigated by Xiaofu Guchuan, Alice also found out that a mysterious buyer wanted to buy the farm two years ago, but it was naturally rejected by the original owner of the farm, so there was an accident on the farm At the time, the original owner of the farm once went to investigate the mysterious buyer, wanting to know if it was his ghost, and found that the mysterious buyer opened a fish cannery less than five kilometers away from the farm. The reason why this buyer wanted to buy a farm at the beginning was because the farm had specially prepared a small seawater purification device by the sea in order to ensure its own water safety, and connected it to the farm with pipes. It can purify sea water to water fruits and vegetables.

   Seeing this, Liu Xing began to suspect that the cannery was selling dog meat.
