Real Cthulhu Running Game

   Chapter 1654 comes to an end

Now that entertainment methods are becoming more and more diverse, drama has become a relatively small entertainment activity, especially for the amateur drama troupe that Jack participated in. If you want to rent a venue for performances alone, then 100% will be unable to make ends meet, so Repertory troupes like this usually cooperate with other local repertoire troupes and rent a venue for rotating performances. In this way, the audience can spend one ticket to watch the performances of several repertoire troupes, which can also be regarded as stimulating the audience to buy tickets. Enthusiasm, in a way, is a win-win.

   Of course, in addition to the drama troupe, there are also some bands who will make the same choice, and this form of performance is generally called "plating".

But having said that, outsiders are generally not invited to join a platter show like this, because only familiar peers can arrange the time and sequence of the performances. After all, the types of performances performed by everyone are different, and the emotional impact it brings to the audience is also different. Therefore, if a tragedy is arranged in front of a comedy show, unless the troupe performing the comedy has strong skills and excellent actors, it will be difficult to make the audience laugh.

   So, Liu Xing thinks that Jack's troupe should choose to refuse, right?

   Then Liu Xing guessed wrong.

   The reason is very simple, the money given by others is too much.

Just as Liu Xing thought at first, Jack's troupe and several other colleagues who had already contacted decided to reject the request of foreign troupes, because they had already arranged the schedule at that time, so there was not a minute of it. Show time is redundant.

As a result, the non-local repertoire troupes waved their hands, saying that they were responsible for half of the venue rent this time, so the local repertoire troupes chose to compromise one after another, squeezed out enough time for the non-local repertoire troupes, and prepared posters for them very considerately. with the location of the last performance.

  The troupe where Jack is in is the second last to perform, so when Jack came to the backstage to prepare, he saw that the troupe from other places was sorting out the props, and there was such a strange scale.

   In addition to the scales, Jack also saw some strange props, such as a strangely shaped dagger, a cup with a green unknown liquid, and several head covers that looked like fish heads.

  Because of curiosity, Jack asked a member of a foreign drama troupe what program they were performing, and the member said that they were going to perform a dark fairy tale adaptation - The Little Mermaid and the Prince's journey back to their parents' home.

The content of the story is actually very simple. It is to change the ending of the original book of The Little Mermaid into a happy ending. The little mermaid's family defeated the witch together and helped the little mermaid regain her voice, and then the little mermaid mustered up the courage to say The prince made a confession, and the prince naturally chose to be with the little mermaid.

After a sweet time, the prince wanted to meet the parents of the little mermaid, so the little mermaid had to bite the bullet and bring the prince to a fishing village. At this time, the little mermaid's family was ready. Dress up as a normal villager and get ready to meet the little mermaid and the prince.

As a result, at this time, the unwilling witch stood up and cursed the little mermaid's family. As a result, the little mermaid's family changed from a mermaid body to a fish head body, and finally assimilated the little mermaid and the prince into one. monsters like them.

Hearing this, Liu Xing knew that this story should be adapted from a classic template of the Cthulhu running group game - the protagonist himself came from a fishing village and had to go home for some reason a day, so the protagonist himself He stumbled back home despite the bad weather, only to find that something was not right at home, and there was a problem with the way his family members looked at him, but out of trust in his family, the protagonist stayed there; as a result, the protagonist soon found out The situation was worse than I thought, and my family seemed to want to send me to a dead end, so I now have to leave the village in bad weather overnight. . .

   Of course, there are similar mods in the Cthulhu running group game hall, but players generally play the role of "friends of the protagonist", and the "protagonist" mentioned above may also be standing with his family.

   It seems that this out-of-town repertoire also has something.

"By the way, the foreign drama troupe mentioned that this kind of monster with fish head body is called a deep diver! You must know that this is not a monster they just made up, because this deep diver haunts many seaside towns, so the local With the legend of these deep divers, there are even some evidences left in some places to prove that they really came. For example, the scales they used as props are said to have been purchased from a seaside town. There really are such monsters in the world."

Jack looked at the scales, then looked at the surrounding rooms and said, "If this kind of monster really attacked Rose, it should be able to leave the visitor center directly, and the storm outside would have no effect on it, because it is very large. You can jump directly into the sea. You must know that no matter how violent the storm comes, it can only affect the range of more than ten meters below the sea surface. If you dive further below, you can avoid the influence of the wind and waves; and this monster called the deep diver is just as its name suggests. , of course, it is possible to dive into the water for tens of meters, or even hundreds of meters! So Mr. Goering, where else can the visitor center leave now?"

Goering frowned, pointed to a room at the end of the corridor and said, "That room is a storage room on the second floor, the space inside is very small, and it is full of sundries, but the most important thing is how many people are in this room. An exhaust fan to ensure that the visitor center can circulate the air normally when it enters the overall closed state, so as to avoid excessive carbon dioxide concentration in the visitor center.”

Liu Xing looked at the room that Goering pointed to, and found that this room had not been investigated, because as Goering said, the door of this utility room was a little longer than the mobile phone, that is, twenty or thirty About centimeters, so before Magor and others automatically ignored this small door when they were looking for the "beast".

   "Exhaust fan? It is indeed possible for deep divers to enter and exit the visitor center through this opening."

   Magore said, walked over and opened the storage room directly, "The exhaust fan has been driven! The screws on it are gone!"

   Liu Xing and the others immediately leaned over and saw that Magore had taken down an exhaust fan, and the three exhaust fans next to it were also wobbly.

   "That's enough to squeeze out alone."

  Jack leaned against the wall and said with a look of horror: "Is there really such a monster as the deep diver? But why does it attack Rose? Rose can't possibly have a conflict with the deep diver?!"

   On the side, Magel clenched his fists and stared at the exhaust fan without saying a word, while the wind and rain outside kept pouring into the visitor center, making everyone feel a biting chill.

   "Mr. Goering, are there any corresponding screws in the visitor center? I think we need to re-fix these exhaust fans to avoid accidents in the future."

Magall closed the door of the storage room and said seriously: "Whether it was a human or a monster who attacked Rose, it should have left the visitor center by now, but we are not sure if this guy will come back with a carbine, so We also have to put some alarms at the door of this room to make sure..."

Before Magall could finish speaking, he heard the storm outside the visitor center super double, and the sound of raindrops hitting the window changed from AK47 to Gatling, and Liu Xing also heard the sound of trees breaking. "Tear" sound, if nothing else, a tree was uprooted by the storm.

   "It's raining harder now, that guy shouldn't come back, right?"

As soon as   Goering finished speaking, Magor said directly: "Anyway, we must first plug the loopholes in this room. After all, we are not afraid of ten thousand, just in case."

  Goering nodded and said, "I remember that there are screws matching the exhaust fan in this storage room. If not, I will go to the staff area on the first floor to find them."

   Fortunately, there are indeed matching screws in the storage room, so Goering doesn't have to go to the first floor, and Liu Xing doesn't have to worry about what Goering will do when he goes downstairs alone.

After re-screwing the exhaust fan, Magel also took out a few jars from the storage room and put them in the doorway, making sure that if someone tried to get out of the storage room, they would definitely knock them down. jar.

   Then, everyone who had no intention of getting together again went back to their rooms to rest.

   Of course, Liu Xing and others got together to open the secret room time.

   "What do you think, Tom?"

  David said impatiently: "I think Goering is a deep diver! Because even if the exhaust fan can pass people, it is impossible to complete the whole process in about ten seconds, and there is no leak at all!"

   "I think so too." Philip immediately echoed.

   York also nodded, expressing his agreement with David.

"Yes, the person who attacked Rose is 100% Goring, but Goring is not an ordinary deep diver, but a deep diver hybrid, so he can freely switch between human form and deep diver form. ; But the most important thing is that Goering still maintains his humanity and did not kill us because of Rose's death, so I think you should know what this means." Liu Xing asked with a smile.

"What? Shouldn't we be guarding Goering from now on? By the way, make some preparations in this room in advance, such as... well, we don't seem to have anything to prepare for, if Goering comes to the door If we don't, we'll just fight and we'll be done." York said solemnly.

   Liu Xing smiled and said nothing.

   At this time, David had guessed what Liu Xing was thinking, and said, "Tom, do you mean that we should ignore Goering directly, so that Goering won't do anything to us?"

"Bingo, from the current situation, Goering doesn't want to make things bigger, or it may be an accident or even a last resort for him to do something to Rose, so as long as no one kills before six o'clock tomorrow morning Trouble with Goering, then we can go through the mod in peace with Goering."

Liu Xing paused and continued: "So as long as we don't leave this room in the future, we can be invincible, but the problem is that we may not get a high enough score if we do this, and the customs clearance reward will be There is a certain degree of shrinkage, because the mod has just passed the foreshadowing period in the middle, and it will be a while before it is our turn to appear."

Hearing Liu Xing say this, David panicked a little, "Yeah, we haven't made a judgment so far, so the real drama should be still behind, but if we don't close the door, it's not a bug. Ah? Will Cthulhu trouble us after running the group game hall?"

   "As long as the game hall of Cthulhu Run Group does not say it in advance, then this is not a bug in the card, or there is no bug in the game hall of Cthulhu Run Group, we are just making a reasonable choice."

Liu Xing doesn't mind advertising the Cthulhu Running Group game hall, "The mods in the Cthulhu Running Group game hall are all roads leading to Rome, not what you have to do to pass smoothly, so some modules just I will give you this guaranteed choice; but to be honest, this choice is actually slow suicide, because novice players like you need to accumulate points in these novice mods, and find ways to learn new skills, so that you Only when you are promoted to a higher-level area can you do it with ease, after all, blindly escaping will only make you achieve nothing."

"Been taught a lesson."

  David said quickly: "Tom, are you going to use this character card in the future? If so, can you take us to the next mod?"

Liu Xing raised his brows, shook his head decisively and said, "Sorry, I can do the same mod with you this time as the Cthulhu running group game hall is opening the back door, you know that it is impossible for me to be with you according to the rules. Matched into a mod; as for why I can match with you today, it is because many players use white character cards to participate in the mod of the ghoul area at the same time, so the system may be unable to allocate it, so Count you players who are doing mods normally."

"okay then..."

Looking at the depressed David and others, Liu Xing said with a smile: "Don't be so downcast, although it will be much safer for me to take you through the module, but the game hall of Cthulhu Run Group is given according to the performance of the players. Reward, if you paddle like this, you will end up doing a mod in vain; in fact, the Cthulhu running group game hall is not as dangerous as you think, you just need to go down the plot line, don't jump in some obvious pits, In the end, as long as you're lucky, you'll be fine."
