Real Cthulhu Running Game

   Chapter 1532 Heavy Rain

"That's right, the first hurdle encountered by players who have been promoted to the Cthulhu area is the first module they encounter in the Cthulhu area, because the modules in the Cthulhu area are the same as the previous ones. The mods in the area are very different, and the Cthulhu Running Group game hall is also deliberately trying to give players a dismay."

Zhang Jingxu looked at Ricky and said seriously: "So if you return to Arkham City now, then in all likelihood, you will trigger your first mod in the Cthulhu area, and this mod is obviously a poke It hit your weak spot, so you are likely to suffer from this mod, or even be sent away directly."

Ricky nodded and said helplessly: "Yeah, if this really evolves into a mod, Zakarenfu and I can really be described as helpless, because I just and Zakharen just now. The husband reviewed the current situation and found that we have only one way to solve this incident, and that is to find the culprit of all this, but the man behind the scenes is very careful and does not reveal any clues at all. The most important thing is It's the spell he used - the imaginary swarm is a spell that can be called disappearing without a trace, and you can't find these bugs that only exist in fantasy."

Liu Xing thought for a while and found that when facing such a module, he could only honestly wait for the Cthulhu running group game hall to give him clues, but after arriving at the module in the Cthulhu area, Basically, all the clues have to be obtained by the players themselves, unless it is the kind of cutscenes that have been designed a long time ago.

"Then it depends on the strength of the NPCs at Miskatonic University." Ding Kun suddenly said: "If nothing else, the NPCs at Miskatonic University should be able to find the starting location of the imaginary swarm, and then Through the elimination method, you can roughly determine the range of options for the behind-the-scenes culprit, but I think that the culprit is in all likelihood staying on the outskirts of Arkham City, and possibly beside a certain traffic line, so that he can When I was sure that I might be discovered, I chose thirty-six tactics, and it was the best way to go."

"Yeah, even if the son of Yoggsothoth wants to enter Miskatonic University to do bad things, he has to honestly choose to sneak in in the middle of the night, so this guy who released the imaginary swarm should not dare to confront Hidden Dragon Crouching Tiger head-on. Miskatonic University, so now he only dares to use this method to guerrilla without attacking... Wait, in this case, the reason why this guy is doing this is probably to delay time or divert Line of sight!" Liu Xing said with a frown.

   "There is indeed such a possibility, but in addition to various expedition teams, Miskatonic University basically does not send many people outside Arkham City, so..."

Zakalev suddenly paused, slapped his thigh and said, "Wait, I seem to remember that in a few days, Miskatonic University will prepare to send prospective graduates out for internships, and occult students usually Sent to Europe for a tour, one of the most important stops is to visit the Holy See in Italy, because the Holy See will hold a spell exchange conference a week later. The purpose of this conference is to communicate with each other about spells , of course, the most important thing is one word - name, because every spell exchange conference will hold a competition, and the winner of the competition and the organization to which it belongs will be written on the wall of fame."

"Before this, Miskatonic University has also won many firsts, because Miskatonic University is a good researcher, and although this spell exchange conference has actual combat links, it is the kind of going through the motions. so that the prospective graduates of the occult can compete with the masters on this stage, and this also makes Miskatonic University the seed player of the Spell Exchange Conference every year; so I am suspicious now. The people involved in Cam City are from an organization that is about to participate in the spell exchange conference, and their purpose is to prevent Miskatonic University from participating in this spell exchange conference."

   "Ah, what's the matter? This kind of thing happened just for one game? Hundreds of people were admitted to the hospital, and the whole Arkham City was in panic?" Yin En said puzzled.

Zakarenfu shook his head and said solemnly: "This can't be said, because although this spell exchange conference is said to be the first for friendship and the second for competition, and the competition format is more inclined to Miskatonic University. Theoretical school or academic school, but the biggest feature of the Spell Exchange Conference is that the rewards are generous, because the reward for the first place is provided by all participants. For example, I know that in the last spell exchange conference, the Holy See provided a The blessed Crusader armor, that thing can really make you invulnerable and immune to damage at the physical level, of course, the best way to deal with this kind of tin can is to use a hammer."

"I know this. I have heard of this spell exchange conference before. The prize pool accumulated every year can be used to build a medium-sized secret church. However, although this spell exchange conference allows some players to participate, the players are basically a Spectators, sit down and join in the fun." Zhang Wenbing said earnestly: "I had the opportunity to represent Huaxia Daomen at the spell exchange conference three years ago, but I didn't make it because of a module."

"That's really a pity. Although we players can't get any rewards in the spell exchange conference, we also have the opportunity to learn some new spells. Of course, some spells are outrageous. After all, the purpose of this spell exchange conference is to Research more possibilities for spells, so every year, 80% of spells are adapted versions, such as mixing space spells into fireball, so that the fireball can suddenly fast-forward or flash directly."

Zakalev said with a smile: "However, there is only one highlight of each spell exchange conference, and that is the most metaphysical prophecy among spells. After all, even those powerful magicians can't guarantee themselves. The prediction technique can achieve a 30% success rate, of course, for us players, even if it is a prediction technique with a 1% success rate, as long as you are lucky enough, you can achieve a hundred hits."

   Hearing what Zakarenfu said, Liu Xing and others couldn't help but look at Yin En, because Yin En's other character card would be a prophecy.

"In this way, it is really possible that an organization, in order to ensure that it can win the first place in this spell exchange conference, so it has taken action on its biggest competitor - Miskatonic University in advance. No wonder those Ordinary people who are affected by the imaginary swarm have some symptoms that seem serious, but in fact do not leave any sequelae... But this is still a bit not about martial arts, this is not only used in the morning It's a banned spell, and it's also used against ordinary people." Ricky shook his head and said.

Compared with Ricky, Zakharenv is a lot more relaxed, "But this is a good thing for us, because it means that our enemy is not a real enemy, so even if it becomes an enemy. Mods, we don't need to worry about our own safety anymore... Of course, although we say that, we can't rule out that these guys are really crazy to the extent that they will hide the truth of the matter to those in the know Kill the killer."

  Zakarenfu just finished speaking when a thunderous sound came from a distance.

   "Huh? Is it going to rain heavily?"

   Liu Xing looked at the dark clouds in the distance, and said with his arms crossed: "I thought that places like Dihaiguo wouldn't rain a few times a year except for the rainy season."

   "How is that possible? Earthsea is an island country no matter what, so it will definitely rain often in places close to the ocean."

   Tian Qing shook his head and continued: "So we have to set up the tent, so as not to be drenched in soup later."

  Because there were a lot of dark clouds in the distance, everyone in the camp also started to set up tents in a hurry, and finally got the tents ready before the rain.

The tents issued by Miskatonic University are all customized products. After all, the expedition team of Miskatonic University often goes to various places to explore, so there are many requirements for tents. Therefore, tents with multiple functions are naturally "weight". class".

   "This tent is really big, it's big enough for all of us."

   Liu Xing looked at the tent he had set up and found that the tent was more than enough for 20 people, and there were several rooms inside. The most important thing was that the tent also had its own generator and various small appliances.

   "So let's live together today, Shi Zixuan and your girls live in the largest compartment, and we live in the living room to guard the door for you." Zhang Jingxu said with a smile.

  The three of Shi Zixuan naturally did not refuse, so they put their things into their "room", and at this time the heavy rain outside had already come.

Listening to the crackling sound, Liu Xing said with some emotion: "When I was a child, I once thought that one day, I could go camping in the wild with my friends, and then live in a tent listening to Ye Yu and chatting with my friends, what would it be like? It's interesting, but I didn't expect that the Cthulhu Running Group game hall would actually give me a dream."

"I thought about the same thing when I was a kid, but I was worried about meeting some monsters when I was camping." Yin En said with a smile: "About this, I think the Cthulhu running group game hall can also give me a dream. ."

   "Friend, you don't want to say that."

Zhang Jingxu shook his head and said, "I have participated in a summer camp before, and then one day's activity was an outdoor picnic. At that time, it seemed to be a picnic on a hill not far from the city. This hill is only more than 20 meters high. Originally, there were a few families farming the land, but then they all moved to the city, so the wasteland became a good place for us to have a picnic, and there were some wild vegetables in the field that became our food; but just as we were about to leave It also rained heavily at the same time, so we were forced to hide in an empty, abandoned house."

"If you pay attention to the houses in the countryside over there, they are basically the structure of the three-sided courtyard, that is, the three houses are put together into a concave character. Of course, the three houses are also connected to each other. The left side is the kitchen and toilet. , the living room is in the middle, and the bedroom is on the right; although the empty house has been abandoned for many years, it is still someone else's property after all, and there are some furniture and other items left in it, so the teacher who brought us let us stay in the living room , don't mess with other people's things."

"Although the daytime is relatively long in summer, the sky quickly darkened due to the heavy rain, so the team teacher started to contact us to pick us up, but because of the heavy rain, the car accident was caused, and the car that came to pick us up was blocked. It was stuck in the middle of the road, so we had to go to the kitchen to make a fire... As a result, at this time, we heard some strange noises, well, I will not sell anything, but a few wild boars also ran to It was sheltering from the rain outside the house, and then there was some movement."

   Speaking of this, Zhang Jingxu laughed, "You don't know how funny the scene was at that time. Everyone was huddled together in fear, thinking that there were some monsters outside. Now I think about it, I still find it very interesting."

"But if we encounter the same situation now, then we won't think it's interesting." Liu Xing also said with a smile: "After all, the times have changed, it is really possible for us to encounter monsters. ."

   As a result, what Liu Xing and others did not expect was that the heavy rain would last for an afternoon, and it didn't look like it was going to stop when it was time to eat dinner.

"This heavy rain will not be three days and three nights at once." Liu Xing said with a headache: "If this is the case, then we have to stay in the land of the sea for a few more days. Of course, if we can crack these two days. If you have a password, then it’s not a waste of time.”

   "Yeah, but living in a tent on a rainy day is also unique."

  Yoon En took out a deck of cards and said, "So let's play Texas Hold'em now, and the loser will be responsible for getting dinner?"

  Although the expedition team has prepared a lot of tents, there are not many raincoats and umbrellas, so now people in each tent can only go to the "canteen tent" to receive today's dinner, which will inevitably be poured into chicken soup.

   "Okay, I'll let you know today how good my Liu Daozai is."

  The confident Liu Xing was quickly defeated and went to pick up dinner with Yin En, who was the initiator of all this. In the end, he came to the "canteen tent" in a wet suit.

   Just when Liu Xing and the two were about to go back with their lunch boxes, they were suddenly stopped by Norton.
