Real Cthulhu Running Game

   Chapter 1634 Distant relatives

   "Oh, it seems that this nephew of yours was taken away by a mythical creature or a secret church?" Liu Xing said.

   "Well, you can't say that either."

Mobius thought for a while and continued: "A few years ago, an outdoor swimming pool was opened on the outskirts of our hometown, so many people would go there to play in summer, but next to this swimming pool is a new swimming pool. The opened mental hospital, after all, there is no place in the urban area of ​​the county, and the location of the mental hospital is generally set at a certain distance from the residential area, but it will not affect the staff commuting too much. The site was selected and construction started almost at the same time.”

   "Ah, is there a mental hospital in our hometown too? I remember that if the mentally ill patients in our side are in serious condition, they will basically be sent to Rongcheng for treatment, right?" Liu Xing said with some surprise.

"Liu Xing, it's normal for you not to know. After all, you and I only go back to your hometown during Chinese New Year and holidays, and the direction from Rongcheng to our hometown is exactly the opposite of where the mental hospital is located, and I remember Liu Xing's hometown. It's in Panlong Town, right? It's not in the direction of the mental hospital, so if you don't know about it, you won't know that there is also a mental hospital in our hometown, and like Liu Xing you said, the hometown is more serious. All the mentally ill patients were sent to Rongcheng for treatment, so this mental hospital admits only mild patients, and the number is not too large."

   At this time, Mobius started a tablet computer next to him while talking, and then called up a photo.

This photo was taken in the evening, and it seems that it was taken with a mobile phone, so the quality of the picture is also a bit poor. Liu Xing thinks that if there is no accident in this photo, it should be Mobius at the time of the incident. The shooting was when I was a freshman and sophomore in my freshman year, so smartphones that were just emerging for two or three years at that time were still a bit lacking in hardware, and it was normal for the picture quality to be poor in low light conditions.

But this is not the point. This mental hospital is located on a hill, and the surrounding walls are also equipped with barbs to prevent overturning. It seems that there is only one main entrance to enter and exit. At the fork in the mountain, there is a security booth, and then there is a barricade that can be raised and lowered. As for the real main entrance, it is an ordinary big iron gate.

   One thing to say, just from the setting of the entrance and exit of this mental hospital, it can be seen that they still attach great importance to security issues.

It's just that in this photo, it may be because it's just time for lunch, or it may be past the time when the medical staff normally leave work, so the security booth at the intersection is unattended, and the guard room next to the main gate above is unattended. There is already light.

   In general, Liu Xing felt that this photo was unremarkable, and there was nothing noteworthy.

"Simply put, you can overlook the swimming pool from this mental hospital, and the straight-line distance between the two is less than 100 meters, but there is a scrapping factory for used cars in the middle, so I want to walk from the swimming pool. To get to the mental hospital, you can only go on the road, or walk around the fields behind, but the fields behind are the kind of paddy fields that have been abandoned, so in summer they are dry ponds, and they are still overgrown with weeds. Kind of, usually no one would walk in."

Mobius turned off the tablet and continued: "So if you walk from the swimming pool to the mental hospital, you will probably walk across the street, and the mental hospital has surveillance cameras all around, so if someone walks It must have been filmed in the past; yes, after my nephew was confirmed missing, he found out that he and his friends were in a mental hospital nine times out of ten, and they were all playing in the swimming pool all afternoon, maybe on a whim I want to go to the mental hospital, or to verify a popular urban legend at the time."

"As we all know, urban legends generally appear in places like schools and hospitals, and mental hospitals are of course the best in hospitals. After all, there are a group of mentally abnormal people in them, so is it possible that they are because of some gods and monsters? Why did the weird thing become like this? So there are always a lot of urban legends about the mental hospital. For example, when we were studying in our hometown, we didn’t often say that there was a ruthless person in the mental hospital over Lianhua Mountain. Every once in a while, he wants to escape and avenge his wife, because he feels that his wife was hurt by others, but the problem is that this person's wife is still alive and well."

The Lianhua Mountain in Mobius's mouth refers to the city-level mental hospital belonging to Liu Xing's home county. Because this mental hospital is located on the Lianhua Mountain, the locals directly use the Lianhua Mountain to call this mental hospital. Of course More usage is to scold someone for running down the Lotus Mountain. . . However, because the supervision of this mental hospital is somewhat lax, it is true that there are accidents of patients escaping every year.

However, because it is too close to Rongcheng, it is only about an hour's drive away, so the municipal mental hospital on Lianhuashan is only responsible for treating some mild patients. Of course, there will be some serious patients with special circumstances who will stay Lotus Mountain, including the patient Mobius said.

Liu Xing remembered that the patient seemed to be a distant relative of his own. His name should be Liu Qilin. At that time, he was a young man in his twenties. He opened a small shop next to an elementary school. He had a good life on weekdays. , when he got married back then, his parents went to attend the ceremony, but the relationship between the two families was just like that. According to Liu's father, this was the only time he met Liu Qilin, so Liu Xing had some images of this person.

After Liu Qilin got married, it seems that the first child was aborted because he was found to have serious congenital deficiencies. As a result, Liu Qilin may have some mental problems since then, and he always felt that someone was deliberately hurting him. Then the problem got worse and he was sent to Lianhuashan for treatment a year later.

   As for Liu Qilin's symptoms, just like what Mobius said, he believed that someone had killed his wife, so he had to go back to seek revenge for that person! The most important thing is that apart from this, Liu Qilin's performance is no different from that of ordinary people, so it was very easy for him to escape from Lotus Mountain the first time. Of course, this is also similar to Liu Qilin's preference for watching various movies and TV series about prison escape. related.

However, Liu Qilin was careful in the process of escaping down Lianhua Mountain, and carefully completed each step of the long-planned process, but when he really left Lianhua Mountain, it was as if he had suddenly lost his mind and went straight ahead. To get revenge, and then get caught halfway along the way.

It is worth noting that Liu Qilin did not say who he was going to take revenge on, but only said that this person killed his wife, but Liu Qilin's wife was normal, and she did not know why her husband felt that he had been raped. harmed by people.

Of course, as Liu Qilin escaped from Lianhua Mountain again and again, apart from the fact that the mental hospital was criticized for its lax care and poor security, a related urban legend gradually emerged, that is, Liu Qilin's wife may be It's really gone, and now the so-called wife is fake, and she killed Liu Qilin's wife, but it may be because of disguise / monster transformation / ghost upper body, etc., this "person" has replaced The identity of Liu Qilin's wife, so Liu Qilin, who knew all this, always wanted to expose her true identity.

   But for ordinary people, Liu Qilin has serious mental problems.

So with the passage of time, Liu Qilin's wife had to go to the TV station to prove that "she is herself", because this urban legend has affected her normal life. Later, ten years after Liu Qilin entered Lotus Mountain for treatment, She chose to divorce and leave the land of Shu. This urban legend can be considered dead, and there is no more text.

   In the real world, Liu Xing would feel that this urban legend is just a story of a group of people who are idle and have nothing to do, but it is completely imaginary, but this is in the Cthulhu running group game hall, it is hard to say.

   Maybe Liu Qilin's wife really has a problem.

   "If nothing else, I think the urban legend of Lotus Mountain may also be related to a mod in the game hall of the Cthulhu Running Group, but this is not the topic we are going to talk about now."

  Mobius asked earnestly: "Liu Xing, do you still remember there was a fool in our school? The one who fell from the fifth floor when he was a child and broke his head?"

   "Of course I remember this, because he is from the get out of class next door to us, and I see him occasionally after class."

Liu Xing replied: "But I don't remember the name of this person, I just remember that he is quite tall and thin, like a bamboo pole; apart from breaking his brain, his hands and feet seem to be He also fell and broke a bone, so he limped when he walked, and couldn't straighten the wrist of one hand, so in addition to calling him a fool at the time, some people called him a zombie... But when I think about it now, I think we At that time, it was quite that kind of thing, others were already miserable, and they still mocked others here."

   "Children are ignorant."

Mobius sighed, shook his head and said, "At that time, there was no special school in our hometown, and the one in Rongcheng was too expensive, so he had to stay in the school for classes, but he was studying at the school later. This person dropped out of school when he was in junior high school. After all, he really couldn’t keep up with the progress of his studies, and he was easily bullied. As a result, when we were in college, there were some changes in this person’s family. Sent to a mental hospital... This may be the hemp rope is broken at the slightest point, bad luck chooses the poor, but more importantly, the Cthulhu running group game hall also saw him."

"In short, after entering the mental hospital, this person was given a number - 23, because he is usually a little silly, so the medical staff did not impose too many restrictions on him, so this number 23 can be I am free to move around in the ward area, and at the same time, I am happy to do something for the medical staff within my ability, such as helping to carry some things, or bring a sentence and so on, so the 23rd is not bad in the mental hospital, but this is not a good time. Long, No. 23 quickly became the protagonist of an urban legend."

   "Ah? What can this No. 23 do? He is not very mobile, and his brain is not good enough. What can he do?" Liu Xing asked suspiciously.

   "I don't know much about this either."

Mobius suddenly said embarrassedly: "I only heard that my nephew may choose to hang out near the mental hospital with his friends because of this urban legend, and then when I wanted to ask about this urban legend When the situation was specific, the person next to me had just said the beginning and introduced the background stories I just mentioned, and suddenly saw my nephew following a stranger across the street; yes, this is actually The entry-level module of the Cthulhu Running Group game hall, which is the first module to assess whether players have talent in the Cthulhu Running Group game. Of course, many people think that this can not be regarded as a module, because You can pass the level without making a judgment at all."

"And the formal process of this entry-level module is also very short, basically it can be completed within a few hours, and the most important part of the process may be more than ten minutes, so I quickly rescued from the stranger's hands I got my nephew. As for the stranger's identity, it is a member of a secret church, because I have never known the real situation of this secret church, but in the mod that Liu Qindong chose to drop, this secret church is once again I came out and took my nephew away again, so Liu Qindong had to go back and save this nephew, but we'll talk about the details of this part later, and now let's talk about how I completed the introductory module."

"I and another relative saw my nephew in the commercial street, which was the busiest area in our hometown at that time, and it happened to be a crossroad, and because of the crowd, we could only be sure that they might Going in two directions, so my relative and I naturally chose to split up, and I went in the right direction unexpectedly, and soon saw my nephew led by the stranger into the supermarket, but I also noticed that there was something wrong with my nephew's expression, that kind of textbook expression, so I pretended to be close to my nephew and he saw that I didn't respond at all, which is so abnormal."
