Real Cthulhu Running Game

   Chapter 166 Weird Oil Paintings

"Uh, I didn't expect Liu Xing to be so unlucky that you voted for a big failure as soon as you came. I didn't prepare for the punishment of a big failure. That's it, even if you lose 1 point of SAN, you just pass it. An inspiration judgment, but this SAN check will not increase the knowledge of Cthulhu mythology." kp Li Shunchan said with a smile after thinking for a while.

Liu Xing breathed a sigh of relief, this is a good fortune in misfortune, it only needs to lose 1 SAN value, as for automatically passing an inspiration judgment, this is also as Liu Xing wished, because Liu Xing himself intends to be after the SAN value test. , directly followed by an inspiration judgment to determine the abnormality of this oil painting.

After kp Li Shunchan finished speaking, Liu Xing felt that there was something wrong with the oil painting in front of him. The girl's original facial features were suddenly dislocated, and every part was not where she should be. Simply put, the eyes are not the eyes, and the nose is not. nose.

   Liu Xing frowned, he obviously only lost 1 SAN value, how could he have hallucinations?

   At this time, Liu Xing heard the sound of the dice falling from behind, and turned around to see that it was the young man in the black coat.

  Gu Jun, 74/50, failed.

   When Liu Xing saw Gu Jun's SAN value, he knew that Gu Jun was probably a troublemaker again, and his knowledge of Cthulhu mythology probably exceeded 20.

"Hello this gentleman, I want to ask you something. When you look at this oil painting now, do you think the girl's facial features in the oil painting are a little strange?" Gu Jun stepped forward and said to Liu Xing. .

Liu Xing pretended to be puzzled and said, "It's true, when I saw this oil painting for the first time, I didn't notice anything unusual, but after looking at it for a long time, the girl's facial features in this oil painting were all over the place. It was suddenly misplaced."

  Gu Jun touched his chin and said thoughtfully, "It really wasn't my illusion. It seems that I came to Ziwu City this time, and I came to the right place."

   Liu Xing asked tentatively: "Uh, this gentleman, what do you think of this oil painting?"

  Gu Jun laughed and said, "I heard your accent is also Chinese. My name is Gu Jun. I am a mystic. A few days ago, I was invited by the president of Ziwu City University to teach archaeology."

   Liu Xing raised his brows. He didn't expect Gu Jun to be a mystic who taught archaeology!

   Liu Xing sighed silently, and was ready to tear up the card, after all, a dead scientist is in place.

  Although Liu Xing was a little reluctant to answer, but now he has to say, "Oh, in that case, Gu Jun, what do you think is wrong with this oil painting?"

Gu Jun looked at the oil painting and shook his head, "I don't know exactly what happened to this oil painting now, because I have never encountered such a thing before, but now I can be sure that this oil painting should be from someone. The hand of a magician."

   Liu Xing raised his brows and pretended to be surprised: "What, is there really a magician in this world?"

  Gu Jun looked at Liu Xing and said mysteriously: "Is there any magician in this world, don't you have a point in your heart?"

   Liu Xing's face sank, and he didn't know how to answer Gu Jun's words for a while.

   "Hehe, don't be nervous, as an occultist, I still have a few brushes, so I can see that you must have experienced some supernatural events and encountered some mythical creatures." Gu Jun said confidently.

   Liu Xing looked at Gu Jun with some surprise, but he didn't expect Gu Jun to speak like this without going overboard. It seems that the occultist really has such a wonderful skill.

   "Well, I did encounter some strange things and saw some mythical creatures, but so what?" Liu Xing pretended to be puzzled.

Gu Jun smiled and said seriously: "In this way, I finally understand, if nothing else, this oil painting has been set up with a trigger mechanism, and ordinary people will only see the appearance of this oil painting. , Only those of us who have experienced supernatural events and seen mythical creatures will trigger the mechanism of this oil painting, allowing us to see the real body of this oil painting."

   Liu Xing nodded. Gu Jun said what he said was well-founded and convincing. For the first time, Liu Xing also felt that being a death scientist was still useful.

   "So that's the case. No wonder this oil painting is placed here. It turns out that ordinary people can't see the real body of the oil painting." Liu Xing pretended to be suddenly enlightened.

Gu Jun nodded with a smile, pointed upstairs and said: "Let's go up first, I just asked the staff of the library, they said that the director is on the third floor now, I want to ask him about this oil painting. I believe you should also be interested in learning about the relevant situation.”

   Liu Xing shrugged and said, "Of course, by the way, Gu Jun, you can call me Liu Xing directly."

   Liu Xing and Gu Jun smiled at each other and walked directly to the third floor.

When    came to the third floor, Liu Xing and Gu Jun soon found the director of the Ziwu City Library, because there was only one person on the third floor reading a book.

   To Liu Xing's surprise, the director of the Ziwu City Library looked like he was in his twenties, and he was very handsome, wearing a pair of black-rimmed glasses, and had an idol temperament.

   "Hello, are you the director of the Ziwu City Library, Mr. Naoki Kuroba?" Gu Jun walked to Naoki Kuroba and said with a smile.

   Kuroba Naoki pushed his black-rimmed glasses, nodded and said, "Yes, I'm the director of the Ziwu City Library, do you two have anything to do with me?"

  Gu Jun went straight to the point and said, "That's it, I want to ask the curator, what is the oil painting on the corner from the first floor to the second floor?"

   Kuroba Naoki nodded and took out a book called "King of Tindalos" from the bookshelf.

   But this "King of Tindalos" sold very poorly, like a pirated novel for a few bucks on a street stall.

"It is said that in the Asuka era, in the current border of Ziwu City, a country called the Kingdom of Tindalos was established, and King Tindalos was the founding king of this country and the only king of the Kingdom of Tindalos. King Tyndalus was brave and good at fighting, wise and wise, and could even be said to be an unpredictable prophet. He defeated the troops sent to attack by Emperor Tuigu many times under extremely disadvantageous circumstances, and the oil painting was the daughter of King Tyndalus. However, when the daughter of King Tindalos was in her teens, she suddenly suffered from a terminal illness and died. From then on, King Tindalos had no intention to govern, and suddenly disappeared soon after, so the prosperous Tindalos The kingdom also declined, and finally was pushed by the ancient emperor to destroy the country." Naoki Kuroba said calmly.

  PS: Going to work tomorrow, I'm tired.
