Real Cthulhu Running Game

   Chapter 1531 The situation escalates

"One thing to say, these unclean things are really good at playing. Although they didn't cause any harm to the possessed people, they made these people in a sense worse than death." Liu Xing touched his chin and said. : "So someone should deal with these unclean things now?"

Yin En nodded and said with a smile: "At present, several psychics who have learned about this are preparing to subdue these unclean things, because these unclean things are obviously different from their own kind. Smarter and more like a person, so if these psychics successfully complete the subjugation, then they can get a few right-hand men."

"Yeah, I've also heard that some people go out of their way to subdue special existences like ghosts, because this type of creature... Well, ghosts can't be considered creatures, anyway, if these things don't pass special They are all good scouts, and the skill of possessing makes these things very malleable, but these things have a big disadvantage, that is, they are too easy to become two or five. Boy."

"After all, we still know too little about ghosts and other existences, so the currently known types of contracts are not too binding on ghosts and other existences, so ghosts and other existences can easily break through the restrictions of contracts and suddenly become two or five children. A counterattack against his former employer; but in general, the benefits of subduing a ghost or other spirit body are far greater than its potential risks, and such a self-aware spirit body, through Spiritualists can also reach a consensus directly with them, and if they become bosses and employees, they don’t need to worry about these spiritual bodies suddenly betraying them.”

"So it turns out, it seems that we should have received one or two ghosts on Seed Island before and let them serve as scouts for us." Ding Kun shook his head and said, "But then again, is the profession of psychic reliable? If so In the real world, I don't think there is anything yet, but in this parallel world with the background of the Cthulhu mythology, these psychics are really likely to bump into ghosts, so what do they rely on to deal with these spirits like mythical creatures?"

At this time, Shi Zixuan said: "I know this, I have cooperated with a psychic before, because the client of the mission wanted me to find a will, and the owner of this will went abruptly. So I didn't tell the family where the will was placed, so I came to his home as a professional to analyze from a professional point of view where the will might be placed if it was hidden at home; As a result, the client's younger brother invited a psychic, and at the beginning, I also thought that this psychic had no real talent."

"I have also met many people who claim to be psychics before, but these guys are just like those fake Taoists and fake monks in China who only speak magic, and they talk in a certain way. They can fool the people who come to them, but if something happens, these guys run faster than anyone else. After all, this type of liar has existed for thousands of years; but I The psychic I met that time really had something, and he actually summoned the soul of the person who wrote the will, but this person's soul has long since lost self-awareness and has become muddled."

"However, this spirit body will still respond to some keywords, so I know that the will is still in that house, so I quickly used the exclusion method to determine the location of the will. This location is really The thing is that people can't think of it. If it hadn't ruled out other possibilities, I really can't be sure that the will is there; I won't sell it here. In fact, this will is written on the pet dog. Wrong, this will was written on the dog's body with special ink, so can you imagine the scene at that time?"

   Liu Xing raised his brows, thinking of the scene where a group of people shaved a dog's hair and watched on in order to determine the content of the will, it made me feel a little funny.

"After that, I deliberately chatted with the psychic, because I also really wanted to know how the psychic could control these spiritual bodies after summoning them, or deal with those who are not very obedient. As a result, he told me that there are many factions of psychics, and there are various operations, but I finally concluded that psychics are equal to the low-level version of magicians, but they have more targets. Spiritual body spells, but these spells specifically targeting spiritual bodies are actually quite pitiful. They are a bit similar to the well-known spells such as summoning ghouls and burrowing worms. They are all killed or buried. The probability of an accident with a spiritual master is also very high.”

Shi Zixuan was drinking tea and continued with some doubts: "But then again, I heard that most of the psychics have a bad relationship with Miskatonic University, because there used to be some outstanding psychics. The student is going to join Miskatonic University, and then open a psychics major to attract disciples. After all, Miskatonic University has opened a occult major, so it is normal to add a psychic major now, and it will be bad. It is possible to place psychics under the occult major, and as a result Miskatonic University directly rejected the requests of these psychics."

"This is also normal. Although some spiritual bodies are difficult to deal with, it is actually quite easy to disperse them, and 99% of the spiritual bodies are not necessarily comparable to a human-faced mouse, so Miska It is normal for Tonic University to despise psychics, it is like a primary school student preparing to study at a university, unless the primary school student is a genius, it is impossible for the university to admit him." Zhang Jingxu said with a smile.

"Yeah, although the spiritual body is troublesome, it is not incomprehensible. Besides, Miskatonic University has been collecting various supernatural books and related materials, so I think Miskatonic University has mastered psychics. Knowledge may be more than those psychics combined." Liu Xing nodded.

"By the way, you should have heard a story before, that is, when a newlywed couple was out on their honeymoon, the wife went into the fitting room of a clothing store to change clothes, and suddenly disappeared, and then waited until the husband found it. After years of getting nothing, a hopeless husband stumbles into a grotesque show, only to discover his wife has lost her limbs."

  Yin En said suddenly: "I think you all have heard of this urban legend. After all, this urban legend has been popular all over the world, and many versions have been derived."

The urban legend mentioned by Yin En, Liu Xing remembered that he had read it in a street stall magazine when he was in elementary school. After all, most of the street stall magazines at that time were eloquent and endless. For the sake of sales, they made all kinds of attractive. The title of attention is added to the cover, and the content is all kinds of unsolved mysteries except urban legends, so Liu's father liked to buy this kind of stall magazine to pass the time, because as long as the authenticity of these contents is not investigated, then These articles are quite interesting. . . Of course, Liu Xing at that time also thought these stall magazines were very interesting, and even quoted some content in his own composition.

   As for this urban legend mentioned by Yin En, Liu Xing remembers that he has seen at least three versions, but the main difference between the versions is to go there for honeymoon - island country, Southeast Asia and America.

"I know this urban legend, and I remember that this urban legend seems to be a piece of news that originated in France, and then the news was adapted and posted on the Internet, and then quickly spread all over the world with the help of the Internet, and then For the authenticity of the story, netizens in various places turned the couple into people of their own country, and then put the honeymoon place in the foreign city most frequently visited by their own people, so that various versions have been extended. urban legend." Tian Qing said seriously.

"Yes, this urban legend is a false story in the real world, but there have been some similar mods in the game hall of the Cthulhu Run Group. This mod is actually quite special. The NPC is taken away, and then the remaining players will follow the clues to save people. Of course, the captured players have to find a way to save themselves, or leave clues to other players. Of course, this mod may also become a confrontation mod. group, it would be more interesting." Yin En said with a smile.

"If this type of mod becomes a confrontation mod, it will be difficult for the player who saves the life, because the opponent can take the initiative to mislead the saver whether he is eliminating clues or making fake clues. Players, but the most important thing is that they can directly choose to ambush, so the one who saves people is too passive." Ding Kun shook his head and said.

Yin En smiled and said seriously: "So the number of players on the arresting side will be far less than the number of players on the saving side. If we are the saving side, then the opponent may be two or three players, so arresting The best choice for the human side is to keep running away, and if the time is passed, it will be a victory, because if the ambush is carried out in reverse, it is very likely that the chicken will be stolen and the rice will not be lost."

   "That's a lot more fair."

   As soon as Liu Xing finished speaking, he saw Ricky and Zakarenfu coming to chat with their group again.

As soon as Ricky sat down, he couldn't wait to say: "You may not know that the situation in Arkham City seems to have gotten worse, because some people who were recruited have now developed severe symptoms such as shock, so Miss After closing the school, Katonic University has begun sending people to find the culprit in all of this."

   "What?" Ding Kun said in surprise: "Those guys are too ruthless, do they want to kill people directly now?"

"That's not true, because those severely ill patients are actually not life-threatening, but will be more uncomfortable, so those guys are still very measured, after all, if they really want to be cruel, then Miskatonic University will Gotta hit hard."

Zakarenfu said seriously: "But my teammates heard a piece of news that Norton is considering sending some people back to the periphery of Arkham City to investigate, because it's useless for us to keep so many people here now. , and after negotiating the terms with the Horde Alliance, Norton felt that like us bodyguards were not necessary, so we might be sent back to Arkham City."

   Hearing this, Liu Xing frowned, "This is not good news, because we can't deal with this invisible and intangible enemy, and it is likely to suffer a big loss at that time."

"We think so too, so I want to discuss with you now, if you can talk to Norton, let Norton send the other players back to Arkham City and keep us here, of course we also Some people can be drawn back to Arkham City." Ricky said seriously.

Liu Xing nodded and agreed: "If there is such a thing, I will try to find Norton's help, but I am not sure whether Norton will agree to us staying, because to be honest, we stay for the ruins. excavation work is not very helpful."

Liu Xing said so, but what he thought was that he had a reminder from Sirius, so he still had a certain understanding of the relics of this ancient civilization, so it would not be difficult to convince Norton to keep his group. Ricky and Zakalev and others, Liu Xing can only say that one can stay one is one.

But having said that, Liu Xing is still very curious about who actually dared to attack Arkham City. You must know that as long as it is the secret church and those mythical creature tribes that are mixed on the earth, their representatives to Arkham City— - Miskatonic University must have a certain understanding, and also know that Miskatonic University is not so easy to mess with. . . As for the players, they know how powerful Miskatonic University is. As long as the Old Ones do not directly participate in the battle, then Miskatonic University is invincible.

   So what is the situation? Are those people who don’t believe in evil or who don’t open their eyes dare to come to Arkham City to make trouble? And what are their reasons for doing so?

   I really don’t understand, and now I can only wait for new progress.

After getting Liu Xing's promise, Ricky breathed a sigh of relief: "If we are arranged to return to Arkham City, then we will definitely be upgraded to the Cthulhu area, and the situation may escalate further. Because this is worthy of us players in the Cthulhu area... But you should also know that the first mod to be promoted to the Cthulhu area is a hurdle. If you pass it, everything is easy to say, but this hurdle is Blocked 70% of new players in the Cthulhu area!"
