Real Cthulhu Running Game

   Chapter 1540 Spiritual Space

   Liu Xing glanced at the skeletons of the Deta people on the ground and found that they were all the same, or in other words, there were differences in size, so there should be only one species of the Deta people.

"It's a little strange, the skeletons of these Deta people look very complete, it doesn't look like they have experienced a large-scale offensive and defensive battle, and these skeletons are scattered in the hall, not concentrated in a certain corner, this point It also seems a little strange, because it stands to reason that after these Delta people realize that the Dak bugs have invaded the city, the Delta people who can leave the hospital will definitely choose to leave, and those Delta people who can't leave should also I was guarded in some corner rooms and resisted stubbornly."

Zakalev squatted down and continued: "And there is not much blood next to these skeletons, and their heads are also facing different directions. It seems that they encountered a sudden attack, and everyone did not turn around. dead."

"This is unlikely. Since the Deta people have already countered a war machine of the Dak worms, it means that the Deta people have discovered that the Dak worms are going to attack themselves, so the residents of the city should know that outside However, none of the chairs in this hall have shifted too much, which also shows that when these Deta people had an accident, there was no chaos in the hospital, and everything was business as usual." Liu Xing continued.

"So what happened to the Deta people in this hospital?" Li Mengyao frowned and said, "By the way, we haven't encountered the skeletons of the Deta people on the way, which seems a little unusual. . . . well, it occurred to me that these Detas can fly, so it's normal to have no bones on the streets."

"Then let's continue to investigate. The clues we know are not enough to allow us to speculate what happened to these Delta people, but I always feel that this hospital is a bit abnormal, as if some mysterious force is still affecting to this hospital."

As soon as Elizabeth said this, the expressions of Liu Xing and others became tense, because Elizabeth, as a magic puppet, was very sensitive to the fluctuation of mana, so it was precisely because Elizabeth was with her that Liu Xing and others did not take it seriously. Bamboo Tori called back to fight.

   "Wait, there seems to be something wrong with these bodies?"

  Zakarenv said suddenly: "Their temperature is much lower than the room temperature and the ground temperature, which is very abnormal!"

   "What, how is this possible? Logically speaking, in a closed area like this, the temperature of everything in it should be about the same."

While talking, Norton touched the skeletons of several Deta people next to him, "Yes, the temperature of these skeletons is indeed abnormal, but there seems to be nothing on them that can affect their body temperature, so this It is very likely related to their sudden death, is it some kind of large-scale ice spell?"

"No, if it's an ice spell, the skeletons of these Delta people can't be kept so intact, not to mention that the dak worm's attainments in magic are infinitely close to zero, except for a few dak worms that can be used In addition to some ordinary spells, other types of dak worms can only fight in other ways." Elizabeth said seriously.

  Norton got up and nodded and said, "Well, now there is a question in front of us, that is, should we continue to investigate this matter? If not, let's go to the next place."

As soon as Norton said this, KP Kongjing stood up and said: "Now, please all players present to choose, should we continue to investigate the cause of death of these Deta people? Or go to the next area to explore? If you choose to continue the investigation, it will be opened. A side quest, and if you choose to go to the next area, then the optional quest in the next area will definitely trigger, so this is a two-for-one quest."

This sentence of kp empty mirror made Liu Xing and others look at each other, because there are too few clues about this side quest at present, and it is impossible to analyze what the content of this side quest will be, but the problem is that Liu Xing and others are more I don't know what kind of tasks will be faced in the next area. . .

   So the lesser of the two evils, Liu Xing and others chose to continue the investigation after hesitating for a moment.

   "Let's figure out the situation here first. I think the situation in other places may be similar to here, so let's not run around first." Liu Xing said.

  Norton nodded, looked at the second floor and said, "This floor doesn't seem to have much to see, so let's go up to the second floor and continue to investigate."

   Liu Xing looked at the situation on the first floor and agreed with Norton's statement very much, because there is nothing noteworthy on this floor.

After arriving on the second floor, there was not much difference between the Deta people on the ground and the Deta people on the first floor. It seemed that something unexpected happened, so a group of people suddenly disappeared, but Liu Xing noticed that there was a The Deta, who was leaning against the wall, was holding a small bottle tightly in his hand. This small bottle looked like it was made of some kind of metal, because it was rusted.

   "This bottle is interesting."

Norton stepped forward, picked up the bottle and said, "If I'm not mistaken, this should be a synthetic metal called stainless iron. This synthetic metal has been found in many ruins in South America. It seems The formula of this synthetic metal was considered an open secret in those days, or there was a common manufacturer; but although this stainless iron does not sound like it will rust, but as we see it now, this Stainless iron will still rust, of course, the only thing that can make it rust is not water, but the influence of spiritual spells, in other words, the magical fluctuations of spiritual spells will affect the internal structure of stainless steel."

Speaking of this, Norton suddenly frowned, "In this way, we can roughly determine that a large-scale mental spell enveloped this hospital, causing everyone in the hospital to be affected by it, and finally all the original The earth passed away, and according to Elizabeth's perception, the source of this spiritual spell should still be in the hospital, and it may be in a state that may be released at any time. This is not good news for us, so we better keep the original Return on the road, so as not to follow in the footsteps of these Deta people."

   Hearing Norton say this, Liu Xing and others knew that this matter was not easy to handle, because if there were no accidents, they would not have time to leave the hospital at all. . .

   At this moment, Liu Xing only felt that there was a flash of white light in front of his eyes, and he found that his eyes suddenly became brighter, and creatures like geese appeared in front of him.

   Is this a Deta?

   Liu Xing looked around subconsciously, and found that Zhang Jingxu and others were also looking around with a confused look.

   Fortunately, everyone is here, except Elizabeth who is a golem.

   Liu Xing breathed a sigh of relief and asked in a low voice, "What's the situation?"

The well-informed Norton replied: "Obviously, we were pulled into a spiritual space by some mysterious force, in other words, we should be out of the body now, and Elizabeth as a golem has no real The soul of her, so she didn't appear here... But these Delta people around ignored us, which means that these Delta people may just be NPCs fabricated in this spiritual space."

   Hearing the NPC Norton mentioned "NPC", Liu Xing felt that this was a little subtle.

   "Fortunately, Elizabeth stayed in the real world. I think she will investigate what is pulling us into this spiritual space after discovering our abnormality, so we just need to wait at ease and wait for Elizabeth to rescue us."

As soon as Norton said this, the kp empty mirror appeared, "Now all players only need to persist in this mental space for half an hour, then they will be able to escape unharmed, and successfully complete this side quest - out of body, At that time, the value of the will attribute of the players will increase by five points. Of course, if the players fail to persist until Elizabeth rescues you, then the players may be trapped in this mental space, in other words, tearing. stuck."

  kp Kongjing's voice just fell, a countdown appeared in front of Liu Xing's eyes, and there are only twenty-nine minutes left.

   But Liu Xing knew very well that for tasks like this with a countdown, the difficulty was always in the last few minutes.

"It's raining."

   At this time, I don't know who said it, and Liu Xing saw a drizzle suddenly falling outside the hospital, but the rain turned out to be black.

   "There's something wrong with this rain."

   In fact, Liu Xing didn't need to speak. Everyone present knew that there must be a problem with the sudden rain, and the problem was still very big.

   "Everyone, be careful, don't approach the doors and windows of the hospital, so as not to be exposed to the rain." Norton said affirmatively.

Seeing this scene, Liu Xing remembered a very classic module - don't get wet, the point of this module is that players can't touch the rain, as long as they touch the rain, they will start to accumulate the humidity value, when this value After reaching a certain value, the player or NPC will transform into a special mythical creature - Rain Man.

   The mythical creature like Rain Man is very special. It can also transform into Rain Man by contacting other NPCs and players. So when Rain Man appears in this mod, the whole game will become peekaboo.

   Of course, the Rain Man can't just move in the fishing, it can only move through the place where there is rain.

   Is this a variant of the Rain Man mod?

   should not be possible.

Liu Xing recalled and found that although this building has many windows, these windows are relatively small, so even if the windows are open, the rain outside will not come in much, so at most some small pools can be formed. These small pools Reluctantly, it can affect the movement of his group, as long as you pay attention, there is no threat.

   So these rains should just restrict yourself and your group from leaving the hospital.

"If nothing else, I think we should go upstairs, because the reason we were brought into this mental space is because there is something upstairs that is still working, so we should be able to find this thing up there now. A projection in the spiritual world."

  Ricky's voice just fell, and the drizzle outside suddenly became heavier.

   "Is this a countdown?"

Liu Xing asked knowingly: "If I'm not mistaken, this shower is a countdown, and when the rain reaches the level of a heavy rain, then we will become as cold as those Deta people, so we will wait for Elizabeth. Besides saving us, we have to find a way to save ourselves.”

   "Yeah, it's better to ask for ourselves. We have to find a way to protect ourselves. Hope that Elizabeth saves us is just the last chance."

  Norton looked at the third floor and continued: "Come on, let's go up and see!"

As soon as   Norton said this, the surrounding Deta people suddenly looked out of the window in unison, to be precise in the direction of the entrance of the hospital.

someone is coming?

   Liu Xing and others also looked at the door of the hospital, and found that a dak bug who looked like a cockroach entered the hospital, but the Deta people next to him turned a blind eye to him.

   "What's the situation? Why are those Deta people just looking at this dak bug? Is it because the Deta people in this mental space can't make complicated reactions?" Liu Xing said in confusion.

   At this time, the Deta people all looked away and continued to go about their own business, while the dak bug person stood motionless by the door as if he had been immobilized.

   "It's getting weirder."

  Norton touched his chin and said, "I've traveled all over the world for so many years, and I have seen many strange things, but I have never seen such a situation, because there is no logic at all."

  Yeah, there's no logic to that at all.

   If the hospital and the Deta people inside are the background and props on a stage, then there is no reason for the sudden heavy rain and the appearance of this dak worm. . . Well, this sudden heavy rain may be in line with the climate of the year, but as the big enemy of the Deta people, why did this Dak worm appear so grandly?

   And neither the Delta nor the Dak worm made further moves.

   "Perhaps this is trying to waste our time? Let's focus our energy on these inexplicable places so we don't have enough time to find a way out of here?"

  Yin En said seriously: "So we can't follow the changes in this spiritual space, we have to firmly follow our original thoughts!"

"You're right, let's go up to the third floor and have a look, but now we have to leave two people to keep an eye on the Dak bug, because it is the most incompatible existence in this spiritual space at present, so we You must know its next move as soon as possible." Norton said seriously.

  So, in the end, Zakarenfu's two remaining companions were responsible for monitoring the Dak bug, while the others went to the third floor.
