Real Cthulhu Running Game

   Chapter 1472 Meet Ao Guanhai in the real world

  Do you want to go to the rooftop?

Liu Xing didn't hesitate for a long time, and chose to go to the rooftop to find out, because if the "person" who left this message was really going to be detrimental to him, he would have already done it, so he probably wouldn't take his own actions. Bar?

Maybe?

   Liu Xing walked directly to the rooftop while thinking.

got windy.

   As soon as Liu Xing walked up to the rooftop, he felt a breeze blowing towards his face, but there was a distinct fishy smell in the wind.

What's happening here?

   Rongcheng is a city located in the mountainous area of ​​southwest China. Except for the fishy smell where the fish is sold, it is very difficult to smell this smell in other places, so that weird person is actually a deep diver hybrid?

  As a result, in the next second, Liu Xing saw dozens of dried salted fish hanging on the clothesline on the rooftop, and felt a little embarrassed for a while.

   But Liu Xing didn't feel embarrassed for a long time before he saw Aoguanhai not far away.

   That's right, it is Aoguanhai.

Although Ao Guanhai was carrying Liu Xing on his back at this time, the clothes on his body were still the same suit that has remained unchanged for thousands of years. Coupled with the encounter between the steps, Liu Xing knew that he was standing by himself at that time. Behind him is Ao Guanhai, because Ao Guanhai's skin color can make him hide in the darkness, so he can't see him at all, and Ao Guanhai is also capable of doing all that quietly.

   It's just that Liu Xing really didn't think that Ao Guanhai could appear in the real world.

   When Liu Xing approached Ao Guanhai, Ao Guanhai stopped Liu Xing, "Liu Xing, just stand there, because I can't face you face to face."

   Liu Xing raised his brows and said subconsciously: "Is this also the rule of the Cthulhu running group game hall? Like if I stepped into the core area of ​​that mod just now, would I forcibly activate that mod in advance?"

"Yes, this is also the rule of the Cthulhu running group game hall - if I meet a player in the real world, I will never be able to return to the Cthulhu running group game hall, because I am face-to-face with the player. In an instant, I will be assimilated into the real world by the Cthulhu running group game hall. In a sense, I am no different from those ordinary people, but there are always some incredible abilities; so we can now be considered as drilling. The loophole in the game hall of the Cthulhu Run Group because we are not face to face."

Ao Guanhai smiled, shook his head and said, "After all, the Cthulhu running group game hall is a very old-fashioned program, so it has to be a name rather than a reality, so even if we know each other's identities, chat Some topics about the Cthulhu running group game hall, the Cthulhu running group game hall will not treat us well, because we are not face-to-face."

Liu Xing nodded and suddenly realized: "So it is, no wonder you called me to the rooftop, because you are still worried about meeting other people in the corridor, in case there is another player from the Cthulhu running group game hall here. , then you will be out of luck."

"One more thing, I can't be seen by the NPC you found, because his identity in the real world is no different from that of the player." Ao Guanhai continued: "I know what you want to ask me, nothing more It seems that why the NPC in the mod appeared in the real world in advance, and it has already begun to pave the way for the mod; yes, this is paving the way, because this mod takes place in a big city, and there are many activities Area."

"If it happens in some small villages, or in a designated area, such as a hospital or a school, their assimilation process will be carried out after the end of the module, because the workload of doing so is relatively small and can be very convenient. Just complete the assimilation work; but for a module like this that involves a large number of ordinary people, some preparations must be made in advance, which can not only reduce the workload of later assimilation, but also reduce the possibility of bugs.”

"Take this mod as an example, the number of ordinary people who have heard of that NPC has exceeded four digits, and his activity area has included eight communities and more than ten streets, as well as the one next to him. Haining Leather City, but the most important thing is Liu Xing, you have also heard of geometric growth, right? Even if only one-tenth of the four-digit insiders will speak out about this matter, then there will be tens of thousands of people soon. People know about it, and then these people will spread it out."

"So based on our assessment of this mod, at the end of the event there may be as many as six figures of ordinary people who have heard about it, and of course 99 percent of them have just heard about it. , and they'll just laugh it off and treat it like an urban legend, so we don't need to care about these people; but the problem is in the remaining one percent."

"Even if it's only 1%, it's nearly a few thousand people, and these people basically live in the scope of the module, but these people won't all stay in this area honestly, Therefore, if we assimilate the real world according to the situation after the mod is over, then there may be some flaws, causing a small number of ordinary people to find that their memory is deviated from others, which may cause problem."

"I understand. The reason why this mod came out ahead of schedule is to synchronize the memories of all ordinary people, so that there will be no faults due to this mod... So is the Mandela effect caused by this?" Liu Xing asked curiously.

The Mandela effect means that there will be memories of Mandela's long-dead in some people's minds, and this can replace "Mandela" with "Wu Ma" in China, because there are many people They all think that Wu Ma passed away a long time ago, and even saw relevant news and memorial services on TV.

In addition, some classic examples of the Mandela effect are the lyrics problem in "Love My China", and the words "true" and "gu" in "Xinhua Dictionary" actually have only two horizontal lines. Some people have a map of the Arctic with ice caps in their memory, but in fact there is never a map of the Arctic with ice caps.

   Of course, there are still very scientific explanations for the Mandela effect. For example, the problem of lyrics, the problem of strokes of words and the problem of maps are actually the kind of problems that are easy to remember, especially for children.

The first is the problem of lyrics, because many lyrics of "Love Me China" are relatively similar, and the melody of the arias is almost the same, so it is normal for children to not be able to distinguish them; then there is the problem of strokes, children are prone to write typos, Therefore, it is normal to record the three horizontal lines of those two words into two horizontal lines; as for the final ice sheet problem, the same is true. When children receive knowledge about the North Pole, they will hear the keyword "ice and snow", plus The South Pole on the map is covered with ice, so children will think that the North Pole will also have ice caps. . . What's more, to tell the truth, Liu Xing has not seriously read the world map several times so far, and he has not even read it once.

So as generations of children grow up, they will take these memories as a reality because of mistakes, so when they talk about it with other people, they will feel that they are being unknowingly People modify their memories, or they enter a parallel world; and as more and more people think this way, and people from different generations experience the same situation, the Mandela effect naturally occurs.

So when he thought of the Mandela effect, Liu Xing thought that many people would read "Cthulhu" as "Cthulhu" when they first came into contact with the myth of Cthulhu. In ten years, it may be another example of the Mandela effect. . . Of course, this is basically impossible, because the Cthulhu mythology has a standard English version to make sure, so Cthulhu is Cthulhu.

   However, in front of the unscientific Cthulhu running group game hall, the scientific explanation of the Mandela effect may not be very scientific.

"Yes, some examples of the Mandela effect are indeed related to our Cthulhu running group game hall, and this is one of the important reasons why the Cthulhu running group game hall will be stepped in advance. For example, there was a mod in the past. It is to let the players rescue the trapped Mandela. As a result, those players are going to use fake death to transport Mandela away, and this is the reason why some people heard about Mandela's death; as a result, those players failed, so the The Sulu Running Group game hall does not intend to assimilate this plot into the real world, because this is just an empty bamboo basket, and it has no meaning at all, and as a result, there is a memory error."

Ao Guanhai sighed, shook his head and said, "That's why I think the Cthulhu running group game hall is a bit too rigid. If it knows how to be flexible, it won't cause so many messy little problems, although these Small problems are nothing to us."

Liu Xing nodded, and then asked again: "Actually, I want to ask another question, that is, does the game hall of the Cthulhu run group have to assimilate the real world? Is this matter already non-negotiable? Why not assimilate all at once? Instead, assimilate once after completing a mod?"

Liu Xing had so many questions, Ao Guanhai replied with a smile: "Liu Xing, this is not a question, but it's not that I can't tell you these questions, but you have to pay a certain price for these answers, such as You can't tell other people about these things, because if too many people know about these things, then the game hall of the Cthulhu Run Group will be in chaos."

   Liu Xing agreed without hesitation.

So, Ou Guanhai continued: "The fact is that the game hall of the Cthulhu running group has to assimilate with a certain world in order to avoid the pursuers sent by Yoggsothoth and Shabu Nicholas. You can temporarily hide yourself, but once the assimilation is completed, the Cthulhu running group game hall will be discovered by the pursuers again, so the Cthulhu running group game hall will have to find the next world, and this is also the Cthulhu running group game. The reason why the hall is slow, a little bit of assimilation to a certain world."

"But this assimilation process is irreversible and cannot be stopped, so once it starts, it must be continuously assimilated. Of course, the assimilation can also have a certain interval. This is also the reason why the Cthulhu running group game hall will give you players some rest. Due to the time, the current Cthulhu running group game hall will still guarantee that at least one mod is going on at any time; as for some special mods you conduct, or mods conducted in other parallel worlds, the result is actually It will not assimilate the real world, because the Cthulhu running group game hall does not want to assimilate a real world so quickly."

"Of course I also know what Liu Xing thinks, so I can tell you clearly here, the real world we are in now will definitely be assimilated by the Cthulhu running group game hall; but if you help me become With the new Nyarlathotep, then I will put this world in the idle area after I control the Cthulhu running group game hall. At that time, ordinary people will still live the same life as before. As for players can You can choose to continue to be a player, or you can choose to give up this memory and become an ordinary person.”

"But even so, our world has already been put on the chariot of the Cthulhu running group game hall. If there is an accident in the Cthulhu running group game hall, then our world will also be in ashes along with it. ?" Liu Xing said a little dejectedly.

Ao Guanhai shrugged and said with a smile: "That's true, but this is already the best situation, after all, when the Cthulhu Running Group game hall came to this world for the first second, the world was already in harmony with the world. The game hall of the Cthulhu running group is bound together, but Liu Xing, you have to believe me, as long as I become the new Nyarlathotep, then I still have the confidence to solve those chasing soldiers. Gosothoth and Shab Nicholas, I have a way to negotiate with them, after all, we don't need to make trouble."

   Hearing this, Liu Xing finally got a little comfort, and also knew that this should be the best ending as Ao Guanhai said.

"By the way, Liu Xing, you'd better not come to this building, and don't have face-to-face contact with that NPC, because if you are not careful, you may trigger the mod, and then there will be some that I can't solve. problem, but you just need to keep your mobile phone with you, because you can go back to the Cthulhu running group game hall at any time; well, I should go back now, because the real world is not where I should be. place."

  Ao Guanhai disappeared immediately after speaking, leaving Liu Xing alone on the rooftop to think about life.
