Real Cthulhu Running Game

  Chapter 2060 Blood is thicker than water

Liu Xing wanted to say something when he saw Alice appearing in his field of vision, but she was accompanied by another maid, so both Liu Xing and Yin En stopped talking and began to pay attention to their dynamic.

   As a result, the two of Alice found the chef in the cafeteria and took away a lot of tableware. It seemed that they were going to start a small stove in the orchard.

  Because there were NPCs present, Alice did not stay to talk to Liu Xing and others, but went back directly.

   "We have to find a way to talk to that maid."

Yin En said seriously: "If there are no accidents, she should join our alliance, and then we can learn about Liang Wan'er's various situations through her, but I am very worried about one issue, that is, this player Like Liu Qindong, she may belong to a special player, and her own mission is to unconditionally assist Liang Waner and ensure that Liang Waner can survive until the end of the module."

"It is indeed possible, because apart from this player, there seems to be no other players among Liang Waner's maids, so she may indeed be a special player, but as long as she joins the alliance, it will be fine, not to mention We won't do any harm to Liang Wan'er, at most we can match her and Young Master Ying."

   As soon as Liu Xing finished speaking, he suddenly felt that the world was spinning, everything in front of him became blurred instantly, and the voice beside his ears disappeared immediately.

What's happening here?

  Liu Xing didn't even have time to react, and a sea suddenly appeared in front of him.

ah?

   I teleported myself?

In the next second, Liu Xing saw a canoe appeared in the distance, and there were two people talking fiercely on it, but because the distance was still relatively far, Liu Xing couldn't hear what they were talking about, but he could From the body movements of the two of them, it can be seen that their emotions are a little excited, and there is a box behind one of them, which should contain something.

Seeing this situation, Liu Xing finally came to his senses and realized that the box should contain a statue of a clone of Nyarlathotep, and the person in front of the box is the owner of the statue, but he should now It's already cold.

Sure enough, the conflict between the two quickly turned from verbal to physical, but the man in front of the box took out his weapon in advance, that is, the wooden paddle on the canoe, trying to knock the man in front of him into the water In the end, the person in front of him was also unambiguous, and just threw something casually, causing the person to fall backwards, and finally fell into the water with the box.

   After falling into the water, the box suddenly opened for some reason, and then the contents fell out.

   As expected by Liu Xing, this box contained a statue, but because of the distance, Liu Xing could only confirm that the statue was in the shape of a human.

   So is this a statue of Okukankai?

   Before Liu Xing could think about it, the statue melted into the water and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

   Then, Liu Xing closed and opened his eyes again, and Yin En and Liu Qindong with anxious expressions appeared in front of him.

Looking at Liu Xing who opened his eyes, Liu Qindong heaved a sigh of relief and said, "Liu Xing, what's the matter with you? You just closed your eyes suddenly, and then fell to the ground in a daze. I thought your character card It's because of epilepsy."

  Liu Xing shook his head, smiled wryly and said, "It's okay, I just encountered some small problems. By the way, when you were in my room just now, you should have seen a statue of Night Roar."

"Of course I saw it, but I also know the situation of the Yehou statue. After all, the players in the alliance don't know that the leader has such a statue? So although I didn't go to the teahouse at that time, I also learned about it later. What happened in the teahouse."

  Liu Qindong nodded, and asked curiously: "So Liu Xing, what's your situation now? Why did you suddenly faint? Could it be a side effect of this Yehou statue?"

   "Almost, this is already the second time."

Liu Xing frowned and said: "So far, I haven't figured out what this Night Roar statue is used for, because this Night Roar Statue didn't say anything other than the settings you know. So I knew I had to keep this Night Roar statue from being too far away from me, and I didn’t know anything else, I could only wait for it to enter the second stage on its own, if any; as for why I had a sudden convulsion just now, it was because of other Players with similar statues ripped off cards, so I went straight to the replay."

"So that's it. I've also heard that besides this statue, there are eight other statues that are also Nyarlathotep's avatar, so will this be a knockout match? When the number of players holding statues reaches When there are six or five people, start the second stage and trigger the corresponding tasks?" Liu Qindong continued to ask.

  Liu Xing shrugged, took a sip of water and said, "Then I don't know. Anyway, I can only take one step at a time with this thing, because my understanding of it is really limited."

   At this time, a group of people led a few cattle and sheep to the entrance of the cafeteria.

"What's happening here?"

   Liu Xing looked at the leader and asked, "Brother Bai, what are you doing? Our cafeteria doesn't seem to be short of meat?"

The brother Bai that Liu Xing talked about is Baihe City’s cousin in this martial arts module—Bai Xu. He is also a steward of the Bai family ranch, and he is mainly responsible for selling the ranch’s livestock. That’s why Liu Xing thinks that Bai Xu is here to sell something.

   It is worth mentioning that Bai Xu's father disappeared suddenly many years ago. It is said that he followed a caravan to do business in other places, but there was no news after that.

   "It's like this. Didn't the third prince's fiancée come to our Tianshui Town? So my uncle asked me to send a few cows and sheep to express his affection, so that the bonfire party tonight will be more lively." Bai Xu said with a smile.

That being the case, Liu Xing naturally nodded and smiled, "That's all right, I'll take these cows and sheep instead of Young Master Ying, and I will definitely give you a good word for your Bai family later. Opportunity to go up a notch.”

At this time, Baihe City can also be regarded as the disciple of Young Master Ying, so going to Far West City can be regarded as obeying the order of Young Master Ying and helping Young Master Ying manage a business, which can be regarded as a layer of insurance for Baihe City and other players. Ask the prefect or Wutai for help.

However, in the eyes of the NPCs of the Bai family, the eldest young master of his family has been favored by the son Ying, and he is the third prince's guest, so this is a step up to the sky. After all, although the Bai family has a lot of wealth, there is a saying It's called "a family with a lot of wealth, and those with hair don't count", so a family like the Bai family that only manages ranches may fall into ruin at any time and have nothing.

  After all, the biggest problem in the breeding industry is that the ability to resist risks is too weak. As long as one livestock gets sick, the entire pasture may fall down.

Therefore, the Bai family now has very high expectations for Baihe City. At the same time, they also want to curry favor with Young Master Ying, but they dare not casually meet Young Master Ying. Only through Liu Xing can he show his favor to Young Master Ying.

   Of course, Liu Xing was also happy.

  Hearing what Liu Xing said, Bai Xu laughed even more happily, and then ordered people to tie the cattle and sheep to the door of the cafeteria, and called the chef in the cafeteria to come out and kill the cattle.

   After a lot of busy work, Bai Xu wiped his sweat and sat in front of Liu Xing, drinking tea unceremoniously.

That's right, the relationship between Bai Xu and "Liu Peng" is quite good, because Bai Xu had a high fever when he was a child, so his constitution was a little weak, so he would often come to Liu Nan to prescribe some tonic; so if Bai Xu can't come in person , or leave early for something, then "Liu Peng" will send the tonic, so "Liu Peng" and Bai Xu became friends after this.

  So, sometimes Bai Xu would bring some ingredients to "Liu Peng", and the two would stew them in a medicinal casserole in the backyard of the medical center.

"A Peng, is there any news about my cousin in Far West City? I heard that many people in Far West City chose to leave. After all, Far West City is notoriously easy to attack and difficult to defend." Bai Xu was a little worried. Said.

Liu Xing smiled, and poured a cup of tea for Bai Xu himself, "Don't worry, Lao Bai is not only the servant of Gongzi Ying, but also the son-in-law of the gate captain of Yuanxi City, so if something happens, Lao Bai will definitely Come back safely, after all, there are still several cities ahead."

   "Well, I hope so."

  Bai Xu looked around, and then looked at the only stranger present——Liu Qindong.

   Seeing this situation, Liu Xing knew that Bai Xu wanted to talk to him, but he didn't know whether Liu Qindong in front of him was reliable.

   "Brother Xu, you can speak directly, this is a good brother of mine, he won't talk nonsense." Liu Xing said with a smile.

Hearing what Liu Xing said, Bai Xu nodded and said: "The thing is like this, hasn't my father been heard from for many years? As a result, a letter from Feige was sent to Heshan County two days ago. It's my father."

   "Oh? That's a good thing, so what did your father say in the letter?" Liu Xing asked curiously.

Bai Xu took out a letter from his arms in embarrassment, shook his head and said, "It's not that you don't know, Ah Peng, I can only write a few words, so I don't quite understand the content of this letter. And you also know that when my father disappeared, he also took a lot of money from the cashier, so I dare not tell my uncle about it."

  Liu Xing nodded, then took the letter and read it.

   "The tone of this letter is indeed written in the tone of your father, brother Xu, and the content is quite simple, that is, after so many years of no contact, your father still misses you very much, and then nothing else."

After Liu Xing put down the letter, he said with some doubts: "Flying pigeons have a very large limit on the number of words, so the content of such a letter will not be too much, so many people will try their best to say the main points in the letter, But the content of this letter can only be described as mediocre... So it stands to reason, Brother Xu, if your father just wants to exchange a few words, he should send an ordinary letter instead of this A letter sent by flying pigeons."

   "That's right, Feige's letter is suitable for conveying some more important or urgent information, but such an ordinary letter from home is a bit of a fuss." Yin En echoed.

Bai Xu nodded, and said with a puzzled look: "So that's the case, I thought my father wanted to come back, or let me go to see him, so I received this letter from Feige. After writing the book, I hesitated for a while, not knowing what to do... But having said that, I remember that Feige can pass the letter to determine the location of the sender? So, Ah Peng, can you see it?"

Liu Xing glanced at the mark on the letter, nodded and said: "If nothing unexpected happens, this letter is from Ax City, because the ax mark of Ax City is still very special, everyone can recognize it at a glance, but this Ax City is quite far from us, and there isn't much business to do there, right?"

The Ax City mentioned by Liu Xing sounds like a city specializing in the production and sale of axes, but in fact the Ax City is named after a nearby lake connected to a river that looks like an axe. Other aspects stand out as mediocrity.

   "Axe City? I remember that my father had a friend who lived there, but the relationship between my father and his friend is quite ordinary, and it seems that he would not go to seek refuge with him."

Bai Xu frowned and said: "So if this letter was really written by my father, why didn't he come back directly? Ax City is indeed a bit far away from us, but the cost of sending this letter from Feige is enough for him Back in the carriage."

   "Uh, Brother Xu, didn't you say that your father left without saying goodbye and took some money from the cashier, so it's normal that he doesn't want to come back now?" Liu Xing asked curiously.

Bai Xu shook his head, and said seriously: "It is indeed wrong for my father to do this, but the money he took away is not much, basically the same as his annual remuneration and dividends! Because we are a family, So we only start to settle accounts at the end of the year. Usually, if you need money, you can go to the accountant to get it. Therefore, when my father disappeared, although my uncle and the others knew that he took some money and left, they also felt that my father might have left. I used the money to do business, so I didn’t pay much attention to it at the beginning.”

"So my uncle has said many times that if my father wants to come back, he will definitely not say anything, because it is not a big deal, not to mention that I have not been affected by it for so many years; and he I haven't been in good health recently, so I want to see my father again, that is, his younger brother, after all, blood is thicker than water!"
