Real Cthulhu Running Game

Chapter 2185 Lunch Time (Part 2)

 “It seems that you encountered a wall at the beginning.”

Shi Zixuan suddenly said: "As far as I know, there is basically only one reason why ghosts hit the wall in this martial arts module, and that is that some kind of animal has become a spirit!"

“Ah? Are there any monsters in this martial arts module?” Xu Bin asked in surprise.

"Yes, in this martial arts module there are spirits besides Warcraft! When an animal survives for hundreds of years, it may become a spirit, but these spirits will not look like what we remember. The monsters that are so capable of fighting are basically the same as humans in terms of intelligence, and they also know how to use illusions. However, the level of illusions of these monsters is not very high, and they are easily seen through, so they can only be used under certain circumstances. Make a difference, like in the dark of night.”

Shi Zixuan said seriously: "In my memory of this character card, I mentioned that the head of a sect raised a spirit monster, which was specially used to train the willpower of his disciples. It can also be used to visit the house occasionally. The guardian can even give lectures to the disciples on behalf of the master. Therefore, in recent years, various sects have been capturing spirits for their own use; but for some reason, the existence of this spirit has not been widely publicized. , it is only spread on a small scale among certain sects, so even if ordinary people encounter spirits, they will only think that they have encountered a ghost."

Is there still such a setting?

Liu Xing quickly checked "Liu Peng's" memory, and found nothing about ghosts, and the contents related to ghosts beating walls also pointed to the theory of ghosts and gods.

“I know this! My family has also told me these stories about spirits, but my family all thought these spirits were some kind of monsters!”

As the most well-informed person among the players in Fei City, Yang De raised his hand and said: "According to my family, the executioners in the martial arts module this time also have to pass an exam before they can hold a certificate to work. Of course, the exams here are all practical Operations, such as whether it can be cut in two; however, the item that accounts for the highest score in the exam is still those two words-test the courage! The content of the courage test is also very simple, that is, go to the wilderness to find something in the middle of the night. So it’s hard not to encounter spirits, but these spirits generally don’t harm people, so some people think that this spirit is just protecting itself.”

"But my family has never mentioned that there are spirits near Philadelphia City? So I didn't think yesterday that the ghost who hit the wall encountered a spirit! But, it is indeed possible that a spirit will appear in Philadelphia City, because There are large areas of farmland around Philadelphia, so not many hunters go into the mountains to hunt. After all, those pheasants, hares, and the like are not as delicious as the livestock fed by grain. Besides, you may encounter wild beasts when hunting in the mountains. Sometimes your life may be in danger! So it is normal for spirits to appear in Fei City, and the reason why it appears near Fei Lake is either to drink water or to eat fish."

 Be well-founded and convincing.

“Is it the legendary weasel? I remember that weasels seem to eat fish, and compared to other animals, weasels are quite courageous and will enter the living range of humans in search of food.”

A player whom Liu Xing didn't know said: "Every time I go back to my hometown, I can see traces of weasels at night. Even if I get close to them, they won't be frightened and run away directly. They even dare to come up and yell at me. "

"Well, although I now think that you were tricked by the spirit yesterday, I still think that this spirit may have been specially airdropped from the Cthulhu Run Game Hall, because it needs this spirit to kill you and those NPCs. Keep everyone in place so that you will not affect Han Yu's mission on the ship."

As soon as Liu Xing finished speaking, someone brought a large iron pot filled with freshly made winter melon and pork ribs soup.

As for the staple food at noon, it is the big steamed buns that Xu Bin made just this morning, and he also made a lot of steamed buns, but these buns have to be saved for the evening. After all, you need to eat well tonight. OK.

“Everyone, let’s eat first. We will rest for a while after eating, so let’s talk after eating.”

Liu Xing greeted everyone to start eating, but after a few bites, someone said: "By the way, didn't I follow Yang Qi to Yangjiacun yesterday? Then I saw the leader's expert friend suddenly ran out, and he didn't pass. How long did it take for him to come back, so Feng Ying couldn’t really have been to Yangjia Village yesterday, but he was just driven away by the leader’s friends?”

 Is there still such a thing?

Liu Xing raised his eyebrows because Yu Lei had never mentioned this matter to him.

However, as Yu Lei's brother, Liu Xing still believes that Yu Lei will not lie to him. "It may be because of Feng Ying, or it may be because of other reasons. In short, he should not have a fight with Yu Lei."

"Well, that's true. Leader, your friend not only went out for a short while, but he didn't seem to be injured or anything, so it's possible that he just heard some disturbance and then went out?"

The man served himself a bowl of soup, sat down and said, "But that Yang Ping seems to be sleepwalking? Although my character card is not from Yangjiacun, I also have a friend from Yangjiacun, and he lives at Yang Ping's house. Opposite; although it may be a bit inappropriate to say this, I think my friend may have a kidney problem, so he often wakes up at night in the past two years, and during this period he occasionally sees Yang Ping. There were figures moving around the house, and the time was midnight."

"Ah? Are you so sure? It's not that Yang Ping's parents are also getting up at night to go to the toilet, right? After all, middle-aged and elderly people have the habit of getting up at night... Just like I have a friend who, when he was young, At that time, I would sleep until dawn and not even be woken up by thunder, but now that I am middle-aged, if I don’t get up once or twice at night, I feel that the day is incomplete.” Xu Bin’s voice just finished. Luo, the person who just spoke smiled and said: "The friend you are talking about is not you, right? I have heard someone say that when someone starts to tell embarrassing things about his friends, there is a 80% chance that I’m just talking about myself! And no one would talk about this kind of thing with their friends, right?"

“Hey, hey, Schiller, please don’t frame me, you know I’m only twenty years old in the real world!”

Xu Bin immediately retorted: "This friend of mine is my neighbor and the eldest brother who has played with me since childhood, so I have a very good relationship with him. He is willing to share everything with me, so it is not surprising that I know this." ! But speaking of this friend of mine, maybe it’s because he’s almost a year older than me, so he hasn’t had many offline gatherings with me in the past two years. You know, in the past few years, as long as he was on holiday, He would always invite me out for a nice meal, after all, I was still studying at that time."

Xu Bin's words resonated with Liu Xing, because Liu Xing used to have a neighbor and friend who was about eight years older than him. If he met him near school, he would treat him to snacks and occasionally take him to games. He played in restaurants or Internet cafes, so he had always had a good relationship with him; but as this person entered university, Liu Xing gradually lost contact with him, and now he doesn’t even have contact information. If it weren’t for Xu Bin After saying these words, Liu Xing almost forgot that he still had such a friend.

But then again, this person seems to have a surname of Ding too, right?

Liu Xing thought about it carefully and recalled that this friend of his seemed to have a twin brother. However, because of some conflicts between his parents, his mother took his brother to live in other districts of Rongcheng?

The reason why Liu Xing remembers this is because that friend took him to meet his brother one day, but Liu Xing can't remember why, because from Liu Xing's perspective now, he and that friend Although the relationship is good, it's not so good that that friend would take him and take a bus for several hours to meet his brother, right?

 Because he had no need to do this at all, and he was quite playful at that time, so it was unlikely that he would spend his rest time riding the bus with others.

 Is it because of what benefit your friend gave you?

Just when Liu Xing was about to enter a state of mental overload, Schiller said: "Okay, no kidding, the reason why I am sure that Yang Ping is sleepwalking is because my friend determined this from the shadow's hairstyle. The person who got up at night is Yang Ping! Because the leader of the alliance has also been to Yang Ping’s house, he should still remember Yang Ping and her parents. Among the three of them, Yang Ping is the only one who still has long hair!"

Hearing Schiller's question, Liu Xing was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "Yes, if there are only three people living in Yang Ping's family, then only Yang Ping still has shoulder-length hair, and Yang Ping’s parents both have short hair.”

"According to my friend, Yang Ping is the youngest daughter in her family. Her older brothers and sisters have all gotten married, so they have all moved out! And the fields at home have also been distributed to Yang Ping's brothers. Because Yang Ping's father started focusing on winemaking a few years ago, and Yang Ping wanted to be a winemaker, it may be for this reason; so my friend was able to confirm that the figure could only be Yang Ping, after all, Yangjia Village The folk customs can be considered simple and honest, and no one would hang out at other people’s homes for free, and they would go there every now and then in the middle of the night.”

Schiller took a sip of soup, moistened his throat and continued: "Although you can't see many details from the shadow, my friend felt that Yang Ping's movements were not large, and she mainly focused on her hands. Shaking; so according to what the alliance leader said, I suspect that the reason why Yang Ping is sleepwalking is that she may have dreamed about the magic book that may be the "Necronomicon", which is the so-called "I am good at casting spells in my dream."

"Is there still such a thing? Is there a possibility that Yang Ping may have recalled the contents of the magic book, so she tried to use these spells in the real world?"

Yang De frowned and said: "Perhaps some time ago, Yang Ping had already remembered the contents of the magic book, so he tried and succeeded in using a certain spell, and the fluctuation of this spell caused Feng Ying's Pay attention, otherwise Feng Ying wouldn't suddenly come to find Yang Ping at this time? In some previous modules, I have heard that certain spells are like experiments, using several elements to synthesize a big fireball Something like that, so when someone uses these spells, some elements of the place where the incident occurred will disappear, so professionals only need to look at it from a distance to find that someone has used spells here."

"Um?"

Liu Xing frowned, "If this is the case, then we have reason to suspect that the reason why Yang Ping followed us to Tianshui Town is that besides her really wanting to be a winemaker, there may be another bad reason. The obvious idea is to find a suitable place to practice these spells, and it would be very inconvenient for her to stay at home."

"Yes, if her parents see her practicing these spells at home, they will most likely think that she is possessed by something strange, and there will be some unnecessary trouble! So if I were Yang Ping If so, she will take a trip to Sweetwater Town now, so that she can have a chance to be alone, and then the possibility of her practicing spells being discovered will be much smaller." Schiller nodded.

Liu Xing took a breath and said with some surprise: "If this is really the case, then I have been deceived by Yang Ping, or the Cthulhu Run Team Game Hall is deceiving me! Because it is very cooperative. At this time, he issued a task to me, asking me to help Yang Ping become a professional winemaker, so that our alliance can get very good rewards, so I didn’t think so much at the time, so I just Yang Ping was invited to join Tianshui Town, so I didn’t think of these possibilities.”

"But I think this is not a bad thing for us, because if Yang Ping really masters those spells, then Tianshui Town will have an extra magician, and we might also be able to learn spells from Yang Ping !”

Xu Bin suddenly said excitedly: "More importantly, if the magic book Yang Ping saw in her dream is the legendary "Necronomicon", then we will make a lot of money! Because if we want To learn the spells in the "Necronomicon" in other modules not only requires a lot of time, but also requires a certain amount of sanity, not to mention that we want to get a genuine "Necronomicon". easy!"

"Xu Bin, what you said makes sense. Anyway, the character cards we used in this martial arts module are one-time use, so it doesn't matter even if we lose a lot of san value, after all, it will not affect our other Character cards! But the spells we learned in this martial arts module can be directly redeemed using points!"
