Real Cthulhu Running Game

   Chapter 1257 Choices

   "Don't worry about this, I have already prepared it."

Zhang Jingxu took out a small blue plastic ball from his pocket and said, "This is a good thing that my master sent me some time ago. Simply put, it is a trigger-type magic shield. A special magic shield appears, and the reason why this magic shield is special is that it has a better protective effect on certain types of damage, but only about half the effect on other types of damage, and this blue The damage type corresponding to the small ball is the shock wave.”

   "As long as it is not at the first scene of the explosion, the damage you receive should be mainly shock waves."

   Liu Xing nodded and changed the conversation: "By the way, what is your master doing now? Is he still at Miskatonic University?"

According to Liu Xing's speculation, Zhang Jingxu's master should be Wu Lei, and it has been almost a year since Wu Lei disappeared, which is several years in this parallel world, so Liu Xing is very curious that Wu Lei is carrying out a What kind of mods take so long.

"Oh, my master, he is indeed at Miskatonic University, and he and his friends have researched a lot of interesting things, such as this magic shield generator that looks like a cheap plastic ball... Originally, my master and them I was going to develop a shield generator with all attributes, but as a result, it couldn't be effectively balanced, so I could only make this kind of serious version."

Zhang Jingxu shook his head and said with a smile: "Also, this shield generator was originally prepared to be made with various advanced materials. As a result, there were more or less problems with those materials, and it was only in the end that I found this ordinary Plastic is quite suitable, so this shield generator made of it looks so bad, gold and jade. As for what my master is doing, my master doesn't say it himself, so I know him and a few Old friends, and professors from Miskatonic University formed a special team that, when ready, could potentially turn into an expedition."

   "Expedition team? Are they planning to go to some ancient ruins for research?"

   Liu Xing touched his chin and said uncertainly: "Why do I suddenly have a feeling that the place your master is going to explore, Zhang Jingxu, won't be the ancient ruins that the blood-colored ghouls are staring at, right?"

"This..."

Zhang Jingxu was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said: "It seems that there is such a possibility, because the expedition team formed by my master and the others can be said to be at the level of the sky group, so they have to work hard to prepare for so long before they dare to dare. Going to an expedition place is definitely not easy, so it's possible that it coincides with the target of the Scarlet Ghoul... If this is the case, it will be a bit troublesome, because my master, they and the Scarlet Ghoul are interested in that In ancient ruins, the things you want to get are almost the same."

   "If that's the case, what should we do?"

Liu Xing said with a bit of a headache: "Your master is not easy to offend, and the blood-colored ghouls can't be offended. If they fight, we... well, we still have to help your master Zhang Jingxu, after all, we both Humans."

"But **** ghouls are human beings after all, and he became like this because of you. The most important thing is that he has helped us several times." Zhang Jingxu stared at Liu Xing and said seriously: "So Liu Xing, would you really choose to betray the **** ghoul?"

"This..."

   Liu Xing hesitated.

As Zhang Jingxu said, the blood-colored ghoul, that is, Chris, became the ghost he is now because of himself, which is equivalent to ruining Chris's life, although fundamentally, Chris was hit When there is such a disaster, after all, this is the plot arranged in the game hall of the Cthulhu Running Group.

If it was in the past, Liu Xing could still convince himself to betray Chris, because Chris is just an NPC; but now, after learning the truth of this parallel world from Alice, Liu Xing knew that like Ke NPCs like Reese are actually living humans, not so-called data.

   So when faced with Chris, who had a life-saving grace, Liu Xing might not be able to make up his mind and betray Chris without psychological pressure. . . However, the person who may be on Chris's side today is Wu Lei!

  Although in terms of relationship, Liu Xing and Wu Lei are only college friends for a few years, and they also share common hobbies, but they can only be regarded as good friends.

But one thing is very important, that is, Wu Lei, as an internal test player in the game hall of the Cthulhu running group, has a lot of very important information in his hands, so Wu Lei's importance in Liu Xing's eyes has directly reached the "friend of life and death". " level.

   Therefore, Liu Xing can't make a choice between Wu Lei and Chris.

"Forget it, Liu Xing, don't think about it so much, anyway, these are just our guesses, and even if my master and the blood-colored ghoul are eyeing the same ancient ruins, we may have the opportunity to cooperate, and we will see it later. Discuss the distribution of spoils, anyway, Scarlet Ghoul is a human after all, so he should reason with us."

Zhang Jingxu patted Liu Xing on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Okay, I should go now, Liu Xing, you should also take Sakai Changzhi and the others to find trouble with Sakai Meizi, because they have been looking outside for a while. already."

   Liu Xing turned his head and found that Sakai Changzhi and others were chatting outside.

   "Well, let's talk about this later tonight."

After    Liu Xing said goodbye to Zhang Jingxu, he took the three of Sakai Changzhi to a bulletproof car.

It is worth mentioning that this bulletproof car was sent by Shimadzu Nakano, because Shimadzu Nakano felt that Liu Xing and his party were going to a Hongmen banquet tonight, so they still had to prepare a few bulletproof cars to be safe, so as not to be in the The door of Luomu Auction House was swept into a sieve.

   So, Liu Xing and others helped to test the new car this time.

   "Mr. Meteor, I still have a question I want to talk to you about. Those mythical creatures in your mouth, are there any good people among them?"

Tanaka Qingya's question made Liu Xing wonder if she asked this because KP Broken Bridge heard her conversation with Zhang Jingxu, so she wanted to take the opportunity to ask Liu Xing about mythical creatures, or to be more precise. Views of mythical creatures such as the Scarlet Ghoul and Yui Matsui.

Therefore, after a moment of silence, Liu Xing nodded and said: "Yes, and there are many more, because mythical creatures are not the kind of monsters in movies and TV dramas or games that only follow instinctive actions, they are all the same as us. Intelligent creatures, among which there are many mythical creatures whose wisdom is superior to us, so from the perspective of ordinary people like you, Miss Qingya, mythical creatures are not monsters, but aliens. Of course, this is true. Mythical creatures do come to Earth from extraterrestrials."

   Then, Liu Xing briefly introduced the general situation of common mythical creatures like ghouls and deep divers to Tanaka Qingya and others.

"Of course, in addition to these mythical creatures from aliens, there are also many local mythical creatures on earth, such as the well-known weasel, tengu, etc., but these mythical creatures are basically kittens and puppies. There are two or three, so it is not easy to meet them, at least I have encountered them a few times over the years, but the Kamakura family we are dealing with is likely to be related to the legendary Shuten-douji."

   "Shuten Douji?!"

   Yamamoto, who was driving, exclaimed: "Didn't Shuten-doji be dismissed by Abe Abe? Was it just driven away?"

   Liu Xing smiled and said nothing.

Sakai Changzhi, who saw Liu Xing's expression, frowned and said, "Since Mr. Meteor said that the Kamakura family is related to Shuten Douji, it means that the ancestor of the Kamakura family was able to drive away. Shuten Douji and other monsters in Dajiangshan are actually because they have reached some ulterior cooperation?"

"How can this be?"

   Tanaka Kiyomi and Yamamoto Ma said loudly in unison.

   "Bingo, Azhi, you got it right."

Liu Xing smiled and continued: "To put it in a bad way, even a hundred Abe Jingming can't beat a mythical creature like Shuten Douji, because onmyoji, or Taoism, Spells such as magic and sorcery are not as useful as the pistol on your waist most of the time, because the casting conditions of these spells are too harsh, basically there is no way to do instant casting, and the power is also very powerful. In general, so if we can travel back to that era, you can all kill Abe Abe one-on-one, so do you think you have the ability to defeat a Tyrannosaurus rex with a pistol?"

   "If mythical creatures like Shuten Douji are so strong, then there is still a way for us humans to survive?" Tanaka Kiyoya said still dissatisfied.

Liu Xing shrugged and said seriously: "This is the so-called dangerous balance, because there are many mythical creatures on the earth, so they form powerful forces, and the only goal of these forces is to rule the earth; but The problem is, there is no absolute powerhouse among these forces, so the situation suddenly stalemate, and we humans also took this opportunity to develop."

Speaking of this, Liu Xing continued after a pause: "For example, there are several powerful daimyo who have taken a fancy to the same piece of land, but because the strength of these daimyo is similar, and who would dare If you make the first move, you may be attacked by a group, so these big names can only stare around this land; and we humans are farmers on this land. Because of the lack of information, we do not know that the land under our feet has been attacked. The big people who can't be provoked take a fancy to them, and they are still happily planting the land."

   "This... well, let's go back to the topic and talk about the Kamakura family. If there is really a Shuten-douji standing behind the Kamakura family, then Mr. Meteor, can you really deal with them?"

   Looking at Tanaka Qingya, who was questioning his own strength, Liu Xing nodded and said, "Five to five, because there is an ancient **** behind our Sawada family, and I believe you have heard of her name - Taketori."

Looking at Sakai Changzhi and the three who were shocked again, Liu Xing told the situation of the ancient gods again, "Although most of the ancient gods have left the earth, they also left a lot of so-called artifacts, so we humans You can still use these artifacts to deal with mythical creatures, even big monsters like Shuten Douji, but such artifacts are very rare, and the conditions of use are very harsh; of course, in addition to these artifacts, We humans also have the opportunity to get some magical weapons from mythical creatures with good relations."

Speaking of which, Liu Xing looked out the window and said, "Humans today are just like us, hiding in their own little world and smug, and seeing everything in the outside world through the glass, but they don't know that this layer of glass covers all the The truth; but to be honest, this is actually quite good, because if everyone knows what this world is like, then we humans will probably be self-defeating.”

   "Yes, sometimes it's better not to know the truth, so that you can live happily."

  Sarah Masachi sighed and said a little decadently: "So, are we humans really vulnerable to mythical creatures?"

"Yes, although the truth is cruel, but I have to tell you a fact, that is, if mythical creatures attack the earth with all their strength, we humans will have no resistance at all, so those aristocratic families who know the truth will invariably agree. Go get along with the mythical creatures, because then they will be able to survive when the end of the world, or the end of humanity, comes."

Liu Xing shrugged, shook his head and said: "But you can rest assured, from the current situation, this delicate balance may continue for many years, even many centuries, because most mythical creatures are immortal. Existence, so some of these mythical creatures confront each other in time and space, so we humans just need to be ourselves, and then leave it to fate."

   After Liu Xing finished saying this, everyone in the car didn't say a word until they reached their destination.

   After all, the three Sakai Masachi are still ordinary people after all, so it is not easy for them to accept the reality, because these realities have surpassed the cognition of their more than 20 years of life.

   But this is what Liu Xing wants, because Liu Xing wants to pull the three of Sakai Changzhi into the team.

   The reason is very simple, Liu Xing wanted to let the three of Sakai Changzhi make money for him, because when he called Shimadzu Nakano yesterday, Liu Xing realized that his "private money" seemed to be a lot, but it was not enough.
