Real Cthulhu Running Game

 High heels and wedding dress?

Liu Xing subconsciously thought of these two things, but the high heels here may be turned into embroidered shoes, so that they fit in with the background setting of this module.

Although Liu Xing still knows very little about the background setting of this module so far, judging from the clothing of the characters in the module and the architectural style and objects in the courtyard, Liu Xing feels that this is either an ancient module , or just a typical twenties mod.

If it is the latter, then there may be some things that will be common in the future but are very rare now. This will test whether the character cards of these players have that discernment. If not, then... It will be a little embarrassing.

But the problem comes back again. Since these shoes and clothes appeared at the designated time, Liu Xing has to wonder what lives in this Taoist temple, because the Cthulhu Running Group game is quite real. It can be said that Ninety-nine point ninety-nine percent of the modules will not involve Piao or anything, so things that suddenly appear and disappear are usually taken out and taken back by someone or a mythical creature.

So why did this person or this mythical creature do this?

“The middle of the month, that’s around the 15th of every month, so the strange things that happen in that Taoist temple all happen on the night of the full moon?”

The thin man suddenly said: "I remember that the cycle of the moon's waxing and waning seems to be about twenty-nine days, so sometimes the fifteenth moon and sixteenth moon appear, or it may be one day earlier, so that person is talking about the middle of the month. Not fifteen! Then I want to ask kp a question, that is, do we know what day today is? And do we still remember what the moon looked like two days ago? "

 When the thin man mentioned "kp", Liu Xing heard two "beeps", so although Liu Xing did not hear clearly what the thin man said, he could guess based on the preface and the following words that the thin man was talking about kp.

 It seems that at this time, as a character card, I cannot hear words such as "kp".

Of course, Liu Xing couldn't hear KP, that is, Boss Wu's voice at this time.

 So Liu Xing looked at the four bald heads in silence, or after being in a daze for a while, he nodded in unison, as if he had learned some information from Boss Wu.

At this moment, some new information suddenly popped up in Liu Xing's mind - today happens to be August 15th, but the moon in the previous two days was still a certain distance away from being perfect, so it might not be true tonight. There is a full moon.

 It seems like nothing will happen tonight.

Liu Xing raised his eyebrows and knew that this module still had a standard three-stage structure—first, the players would enter the main plot, then one or two events would let the players know what kind of enemies they would face, and finally it would depend on the players. Is there any way to break the situation?

So if nothing else happens, my group should be able to arrive at the long-abandoned small village before dark, and then they will have to stay in a broken house for various reasons, and then they will encounter some Things that cannot be explained, such as classic black shadows and strange noises, can in short allow me and my group to roughly guess what is hidden in this Taoist temple, unless the final BOSS in this module will be an original myth. biology.

Speaking of original mythical creatures, and thinking that the current kp is also called Wu Lei, Liu Xing remembered something that Wu Lei once complained to him, that is, some modules he encountered would introduce some inexplicable things. The abilities of these original mythical creatures highlight a hundred flowers blooming. . . But, the problem is that some abilities are just too weird, even to the point of being unreasonable.

So after Wu Lei participated in so many modules, he directly developed a habit, that is, before participating in a new module, he would ask the kp a question - are there any original mythical creatures in this module? If so, If so, something will happen to me and I won’t be able to come.

When Liu Xing thought of this, he thought of the ketchup in that place. At that time, he felt a little strange. He suspected that all this was done by some kind of mythical creature that he didn't know. Moreover, this mythical creature was quite unreasonable. After eating dozens of kilograms of bone-in meat, he can still escape through a brick-sized vent. So if this mythical creature is an original work of a certain module, then Liu Xing can only say one unpleasant word.

But this also has a premise, that is, Liu Xing is currently in a module within a module! So was the Cthulhu Run game lobby back then so good at playing that it would arrange a box-in-box module for players?

At this time, Liu Xing felt that Feng Can might have been a player in the Cthulhu Run Game Hall back then, but the Cthulhu Run Game Hall at that time was still a wild place, so the designed modules had some Non-mainstream. For example, the previous "School Hide and Seek" module is a typical plot-less module. It goes straight to the final theme at the beginning - escape. This is still very rare in today's Cthulhu Run game lobby. Basically Only modules for resurrecting character cards will use this simple and crude module. After all, players in the Cthulhu Run game lobby are not doing a one-time deal. After clearing a module, they will do it with this module. A thorough cut.

As for this kind of matryoshka doll module in a box, Liu Xing has heard that such a module was launched in the Cthulhu Run game lobby during internal beta testing, but the response to this kind of matryoshka doll module can be said to be very Poor, because this kind of matryoshka doll module has very high requirements for the author's level. If it is not written well, it will become two modules that have nothing to do with each other and are put together abruptly. This rounding is equivalent to Players are playing two different modules in one module. Isn’t this too unfriendly to players?

  After all, every module in the Cthulhu Run Game Hall is a life-threatening game for the players. As a result, if you let me play a life-threatening game twice in one module, you might as well just send me away.

 So Liu Xing feels that if this is really a matryoshka doll module, then there should be at least one point of contact between the two modules, and this contact point is likely to be the original mythical creature!

Thinking of this, Liu Xing saw that the four bald heads next to him had no intention of chatting with him, so he began to close his eyes and relax, putting himself into the perspective of the player "Feng Can" to think about the plot of this module.

 First of all, the main mission of this module should be to expose the true identity of Boss Wu, and the only way to complete this main mission is to find the connection between the original mythical creature and Boss Wu!

If nothing else happens, this original mythical creature should be hiding in Boss Wu's board game store, and its relationship with Boss Wu may be that of master and servant, or it may be a collaborator. In short, this original mythical creature will have to stay under someone else's roof for the time being. , cannot act at will.

So where is this original mythical creature hiding in a board game store? Liu Xing frowned, because the size of this original mythical creature may be about the same as a big mouse. After all, it can pass through a vent the size of a brick, so this original mythical creature is either not big in size, or it can Take control of your body shape.

So no matter what, if this original mythical creature is going to hide in a board game store, then its maximum possible size is about the same as a cat, right? So there are so many places to hide in this board game store, like behind the bar?

At this moment, Liu Xing suddenly heard a sound from the front, and the cart stopped.

When Liu Xing opened his eyes, he found several abandoned shabby houses in front of him. On a low hill not far away, there was a Taoist temple half-covered by woods.

 The reason why we are sure that this low mountain is a Taoist temple is because there is a huge Tai Chi diagram on the wall of this Taoist temple.

One thing to say, Liu Xing has seen a lot of Taoist temples, whether in the real world or in the module of the Cthulhu Run game lobby, but he has never seen that Taoist temple painted on the wall. Such a big Tai Chi diagram.

But then again, Liu Xing remembered that before he closed his eyes to relax, the cart was still walking on a country road. There were no abandoned small villages as far as he could see, and the sun had just gone down in the sky. , but in just two or three minutes, the sun was almost setting, and the cart teleported directly to its destination.

It seems that there is no new plot along the way, so KP just walked through this journey. However, because he "entered" the module directly, he started teleporting while he closed his eyes. .

 This is quite good for me.

Liu Xing shook his head, and then followed the four dimmed bald heads into the deserted small village, and the cart disappeared in the blink of an eye. It seems that this module is quite memory-saving. Yes, models that are no longer used will simply disappear.

“It’s already getting late. Let’s go to the Taoist temple the next day. After all, a gentleman will not stand under a dangerous wall.”

The fat man suddenly stopped and said, "I think this house is quite good. There is no damage to the doors or windows, and the roof seems to be fine."

Liu Xing looked at the house that the fat man was talking about. It seemed that there was nothing wrong with it, especially because there were several broken houses around it, which made this house seem more suitable for accommodation.

Just when Liu Xing wanted to say a few words, the thin man shook his head and said: "I heard someone said that there is a better house at the end of the village near the Taoist temple. The original owner of that house is the richest man in the village, so other houses are The house is made of wood, and his house is made of blue bricks and slates! More importantly, we can directly see the main entrance of the Taoist temple from this house. If there is really any problem with this Taoist temple, then we can also find it at the first Time to discover.”

As a result, as soon as the thin man finished speaking, the tall man beside him said directly: "Then we might as well go and live in the treehouse on the big tree, so that we can overlook everything nearby, and no disturbance will be hidden from our sight. !”

　　When the tall man finished saying this, he and the other three bald heads looked at Liu Xing in unison, and then remained motionless!

This shocked Liu Xing, but Liu Xing quickly realized what was going on. In short, kp proposed three choices to the players at this time, that is, from the three rooms Choose one of the different houses to live in, and all three houses have different advantages and disadvantages.

First of all, the room in front of you is the farthest from the Taoist temple, which is theoretically the safest room. However, you cannot directly observe the dynamics of the Taoist temple. Therefore, if you choose this room, you should have nothing to do overnight, but you will also skip this round. The opportunity to collect intelligence, so this choice is better than stability, which is a typical choice that does not seek merit, but seeks no faults.

The second choice is the room at the entrance of the village. This room is the closest to the Taoist temple. You can see the main entrance of the Taoist temple at a glance, so it is not difficult to collect usable information. You can even directly determine what is hidden in the Taoist temple. What a monster!

 But, the problem is that there is a saying that when you stare into the abyss, the abyss is also looking at you, so you must be prepared for the possibility of being discovered!

If the monster in the gym is a bad-tempered one, then it is likely to attack directly. Although this brick house looks quite solid, it is nothing to a mythical creature, let alone this village. It has also been abandoned for many years, so it is possible that a brick house that has not been taken care of for many years will fall down as soon as it is pushed.

Therefore, this second house is a choice with high risk and high reward, and this is not a good choice in Liu Xing's opinion, because it is still unclear what kind of monster there is in this Taoist temple. If you are unlucky, If you do, you and your group won’t be able to see the sun tomorrow.

The situation in the third room is actually similar to that in the second one, because the height of the tree house is estimated to be about ten meters, which is a little higher than the Taoist temple located on a short mountain, so it is possible to see the situation in the Taoist temple!

But, such a high tree house is equivalent to cutting off one's escape route. If the monster in the Taoist temple can climb the tree, and if the speed is fast enough, one's group will be directly blocked in the tree house. This is You have to fight that monster to the death, unless you want to try what it would feel like to jump from a height of about ten meters.

Even if he doesn’t die, it’s not much better.

 The reason why those four bald heads are staring at me is because they want me to make the final choice. After all, I am the protagonist of this module!

But at this moment, Liu Xing heard a "click-click" sound from the distance, like someone wearing high heels stepping on the stone road.

Liu Xing glanced subconsciously in the distance and saw a flash of red disappearing behind a tree. On that tree was the tree house the tall man mentioned!

 High heels and wedding dress? !
