Real Cthulhu Running Game

   Chapter 1509 Treasure Hunt

Ryuzaki looked around and saw that there were no outsiders, and continued: "This is a treasure map, but in fact it should be said to be a time capsule, which contains a letter written by my father and others during college. The content of the letter is about a little secret shared by the three of them...Although it is a little secret, but looking at my father's appearance, I think this secret should not be simple, otherwise he will not tell me at this time. Send to get the treasure map back."

   "Wait, according to Ryuzaki, your father should be able to find that time capsule without a treasure map, right?" Liu Xing asked curiously.

Ryuzaki smiled, shook his head and said, "I thought the same thing at the beginning, but I never thought that my father and the others would really be able to play. This so-called treasure map was divided into three parts. One is the record of the location of the time capsule, because this time capsule was buried by the Great Chief; one is the code to open the time capsule, which is in my father's hands; and the last one is a deciphered version, In the hands of that uncle I don't know yet."

"Your father and the others really know how to play, I really didn't expect this operation." Yin En shook his head and said, "But I'm going to say something unpleasant here, I think Ryuzaki, your father and the others want to preserve together. The secret is definitely not simple, and it may even be related to the quality of the second half of their lives, and they do not trust each other, otherwise they would not have thought of this operation to ensure that no one can open this past alone. "

Ryuzaki nodded, and said with a serious face: "Yes, even if someone who knows the location of the time capsule can find and use various means to open the time capsule, they will not be able to decipher the content of the letter, but they know how to The person who deciphered the content has no idea where the time capsule is... As for my father, who knows the code to open the time capsule, but he is also a clever woman who can't cook without rice, so I also think that the three of them are checking and balancing each other, and I don't want anyone to have it. know the whole truth, and then use it to threaten the remaining two."

"Actually, after I received this task from my father, I went to investigate what happened that year. As a result, I found a piece of news in the newspaper without any effort. The content is that when my father was in college, he was in There was a case of theft in the university. A copy of "The Complete Birds" in the library was stolen, and the current market value of this "Encyclopedia of Birds" is as high as hundreds of millions of dollars, because the book's The number of survivors is simply too small.”

""The Complete Birds"? I seem to have heard of this book. Although the author of this book is not very famous to the public, he is considered a big boss in the industry, and he wrote this "The Complete Birds" The most distinctive point is that all the birds recorded in it have full-length hand drawings, so large raptors like eagles make this book half a person tall, so the publishers of that year basically refused to publish it. This book, after all, such a big book needs to re-prepare all kinds of printing tools, and these printing tools will probably not be used in the future, and the sales of this book are also very worrying." Zhang Jingxu said.

Liu Xing imagined the size of this book "The Complete Birds" and felt that if this book were published now, there would be a big gimmick to sell more copies. After all, modern logistics can make this book direct to buyers. home without the need for buyers to find a way to carry it home from the bookstore. . . However, this book is very expensive at first glance, after all, the illustrations in it are purely hand-painted.

"Yes, this book was finally published by pre-ordering, so the number of the original "The Complete Birds" was not large, and due to the poor storage, many originals were damaged to varying degrees. Therefore, there are only a few copies of the "Encyclopedia of Birds" that are still in existence and of relatively good quality, and the stolen "Encyclopedia of Birds" was also called the best-looking one before it was stolen, because this "Encyclopedia of Birds" The Encyclopedia has always been kept in the university library."

Ryuzaki thought for a while, and continued: "According to the information I found, because there were not many monitoring equipment in the university at that time, according to the information provided by witnesses, the number of thieves was determined to be around three to four; these When the library was about to close in the afternoon, the thief dressed up as a cleaner and got in, then knocked out the staff on duty at the time, and then pushed the book of "Birds" in the garbage truck and pushed it out. Driving away in a van."

   Hearing this, Liu Xing couldn't help but ask: "How did you confirm that this matter may be related to your father, Ryuzaki?"

"My father's family conditions were not bad, because my grandfather was a famous engineer in my hometown. Unfortunately, my grandfather had a car accident when my father was in college. Although he finally saved his life, the family conditions plummeted. This made me My father changed from a son to a pauper in one fell swoop; but it didn’t take long for my father to claim that he had found a good part-time job, so he quickly went back to his old days and even went to the island country at his own expense.”

Ryuzaki sighed and said a little depressedly: "From the current situation, my father should have participated in this theft case, and then got a sum of money from other people in advance, and this so-called time capsule is in the Maybe it's not a letter, but the book of "Birds"! Of course, this "Birds" may have already been shot, so the time capsule should be the evidence of all this."

"It turns out that it is no wonder that no one believes anyone. If it were me, in the face of the interests of hundreds of millions of dollars, I would not believe the so-called classmates and friends, and even my family members may not believe it. After all, so much money has been It's exciting enough."

Yin En shook his head and said: "Then Ryuzaki, you have to be careful later, in case the Great Chief tells his family about this before he leaves, then it will not be easy for you to take things away, maybe There is also the possibility of being held hostage.”

Ryuzaki patted his chest and said with a smile, "Don't worry, I've been a soldier for a few years. Although I haven't fought in actual combat, and my usual training intensity is relatively low, I still have no pressure to deal with some ordinary people, not to mention. I also brought several bodyguards this time, if it really doesn't work, you won't watch me explain here, right?",

"Okay, it turns out that you came to see us because of this, Ryuzaki." Zhang Jingxu pretended to be angry and said, "Then go, we won't come to save you, so you should ask yourself for more blessings. "

   After laughing, Ryuzaki got up and left.

"Congratulations to all players for triggering an optional quest - friends are in trouble, if you choose to accept the quest, your friend Ryuzaki will have an accident soon, and the type of accident will be determined by a 1d10 die; of course If you do not choose to accept the mission, there will be no accident in Ryuzaki, but you will not be able to accept the follow-up mission."

Kp Kongjing suddenly said: "How to say this optional task, in fact, it is similar to the task that you used to brush your favorability in the chess and card room before. It is a special task that has nothing to do with the main task, and it belongs to the type that can be done or not done. The difficulty of such tasks is not high, so the rewards obtained are not very useful, but they may also have miraculous effects; in short, these tasks are to fill the long-term blank time that may exist in the main line tasks of the Cthulhu area. Of course, these tasks are basically It will be related to the NPC you are familiar with!"

Just when Liu Xing was about to speak, KP Kongjing continued: "This is actually a watershed, because before this, you and those NPCs were only good friends, although you have experienced a lot of things together, but yours Cooperation is more about coming together because of interests, so these tasks can make you and the NPC you know become real good friends. Although it is not yet the point of life and death, it will also reach out to you most of the time. Help, so my personal advice is to do whatever it takes.”

   Hearing what kp Kongjing said, Liu Xing and the others looked at each other and finally accepted the mission.

Although Ryuzaki is just an ordinary person, he is about to become the head of a certain family in the island country, and his father has some influence, so if Liu Xing and others carry out certain tasks in the island country in the future, they will also have The opportunity to use Ryuzaki, so Liu Xing and others finally chose to help Ryuzaki get through this difficulty. . . Although if Liu Xing and others chose not to accept this mission, Ryuzaki would have successfully completed the itinerary and went home for dinner without any danger.

"Then you may trigger the next step of this optional task at any time when you are not in the main quest, so please be prepared at any time." Kp Kongjing said with a smile: "I can actually tell you that this optional task is optional. As a reward for the quest, in addition to Ryusaki's favorability, there will also be an original copy of "The Complete Birds", which contains a unique illustration that is not found in other originals."

   Liu Xing raised his brows and said subconsciously: "Is it the illustration of Bayaki? If the author of this book saw Bayaki from a distance, it is indeed possible to regard it as a special bird."

"You're right, this illustration is indeed related to Bayaki, but the point is that there will be a good thing in the background of this illustration, so this illustration is actually the real treasure map, you can go through This illustration and the accompanying text can deduce its specific location, and then you can go on a treasure hunt." Kp Kongjing said with a smile.

   When it comes to treasure hunting, Yin En suddenly became energetic, "I am very good at treasure hunting. I didn't watch those adventure movies less when I was a child..."

Before Yin En's words were finished, Norton's voice suddenly sounded in the room, "Cough, everyone can go to the cafeteria for lunch now, because the food supply here is not enough, so the lunch time is only half an hour, it is not out of date. wait."

  Since Norton said so, Liu Xing and others immediately got up and went to the "canteen" of the airport, which is the waiting hall.

   At this time, Zakalev and Ricky also left the room with their respective teams. Before they saw that Liu Xing and others had guests visiting, so they went back separately.

  Because everyone was not familiar with each other, Zakalev and Ricky didn't ask about Ryuzaki, but talked about whether to go to the city for a walk in the afternoon.

   Although the capital is still in chaos at this time, the urban area has returned to normal order, because the businesses there are covered by people, so they can resume business faster.

"The road from the airport to the city is fairly smooth, and it doesn't pass through shanty towns on the way, so we don't need to worry about any danger, or our danger still comes from those mercenaries." Ricky earnestly Said: "I know you may ask why you want to know that there are tigers in the mountains and prefer to travel in the mountains, that is because Zakalev and I both think that those mercenaries are actually potential partners for cooperation, and the reason is that there is nothing between us. Reconciling conflicts, so we might be able to have a good chat.”

Liu Xing thought about it and found that the expedition team he was in actually did not have much direct conflict with those mercenaries, unless they had regarded the ruins of the ancient civilization as their core goal, but this was basically not the case. Possibly, after all, if they came to this ruin, then the expedition team would not fall into the pit, and their own group would not come here.

The expedition of Miskatonic University is still very reasonable. If there is already a first-comer in a place, then the expedition of Miskatonic University will choose to disband or temporarily avoid it until the first-comer leaves. Make more plans, so the reputation of Miskatonic University will always be so good, even if the secret church does not involve its core interests, it will sell Miskatonic University a face.

Of course, there are actually several secret churches under Miskatonic University. After all, Miskatonic University has come into contact with too many ghosts, ghosts, snakes and gods, so many professors and students go astray, but these professors and students They still maintain their last sanity, so they set up a secret church that does not do bad things, and usually also work as a white glove for Miskatonic University to deal with some difficult things.

"If we can really see those mercenaries, we can reach a consensus with them on the condition of non-interference, and even support them to complete their own plans. After all, a place like Earthsea Country can't get any worse. "

Liu Xing agrees with Ricky's words very much, because as long as people who have a certain understanding of the land of the sea, they will feel that the land of the sea has reached the minimum standard as a country, so the land of the land has not declined for a long time. space.
