Real Cthulhu Running Game

Chapter 2401 Strange painting?

In Liu Xing's view, a person like Ge Jing, who doesn't even know anything about Baiyaki, let alone seeing Baiyaki, would be the first to see Baiyaki flying in the sky. Time identified Bayaki as Batman, because the English name of Batman literally translates to Batman, so Bayaki rounded it up to be Batman!

 At this moment, Liu Xing felt that he was a genius for being able to complete such an outrageous argument.

But then again, if Liu Xing remembers correctly, there are no bat-men or bat-monkeys among the currently known flying monsters, so Liu Xing thinks that what Ge Jing saw should be Bayaki.

"But this is not the scariest thing. The scary thing is that these bats can actually talk! Although I can't hear what they are saying clearly, I can feel that they are communicating in a language. This is For example, I followed my father to a small isolated village many years ago. The people in this village came to the depths of the mountains for some reasons hundreds of years ago, and then they took root there. Except for marriage, He rarely interacts with outsiders except for important events such as funerals and weddings, and my father also became friends with some people in this village by chance, so he became the exclusive salesman of this village. "

Ge Jing said seriously: "In my father's opinion, the people in this village may not have lived there hundreds of years ago, but a certain school of thought that was expelled from the Zhuzi Academy! Because you also know In a small village like this, the people living there are literally one family, and everyone has the same surname. As a result, my father discovered that there were more than ten surnames in that village, and there was not even an ancestral hall in the village. More importantly, The people in this village also speak a language that my father doesn’t understand at all. This language is said to be able to communicate with gods, so my father suspects that they are legendary theologians.”

“Theologians? Is that the mysterious secret school?”

Hong He touched his chin and said: "I remember that it was mentioned in many novels that the theologian is a god-like nagging, and he has established a useless school of thought that has not achieved any results for decades, because although other schools of thought were expelled from the Zhuzi Academy, There are not many results, but some achievements have been made more or less, so now some people think that certain schools of thought should continue to stay in the colleges of philosophers, and it is not a good thing to drive them away, but no one thinks that theologians Should also stay.”

 Liu Xing nodded, because there was also information about this so-called theologian in "Liu Peng's" memory.

In short, theologians are not so much a serious school of thought as they are a fan club that exists in various colleges. The original intention of this fan club is also very simple, that is, it wants to communicate with gods. !

From the perspective of these people, since the gods are willing to contact humans, it means that the gods are also able to communicate, so they want to get in touch with the gods through certain methods, and then become the spokespersons of these gods in the human world.

 That’s right, today’s Liu Xing can be regarded as fulfilling the long-cherished wish of these theologians in a sense. . . Of course, in the final analysis, this is Liu Xing using the information gap to deceive the third prince into admitting his identity as the divine envoy. Moreover, Liu Xing also feels that the third prince should also know that he is a fake, but the third prince feels that he is a fake. It is still very useful for him, so he makes himself a divine envoy who can serve him.

 This can be considered mutual use.

Of course, there are many divine envoys like Liu Xing in today's Xinlong Empire, that is, the patrons and abbots of Taoist temples. But the biggest problem now is that the gods they talk about have not been shown yet. What a miracle, but they can still "convince people with reason" in the world of martial arts, so everyone recognizes that the gods they talk about are real.

As for gods like Wenquxing, they had no names at the beginning, so many people tried their best to fight for their naming rights. After all, if these gods used their names, then they would be the legitimate ones. The gods of Erba Jing are here, and there will be no less benefits in the future!

So the dispute over the names of gods such as Wenquxing has been going on for many years. In the end, the new Dragon Emperor made the final decision and gave these gods a name that most people can agree with.

Yes, the theologians back then wanted to name these gods, and they were all purely original names, so no one recognized the list given by the theologians at that time, so no one knows these theologies now. What names did the family give to Wenquxing and other gods?

However, according to Liu Xing’s understanding of the Cthulhu Game Hall, perhaps these theologians have actually discovered something, but their findings are unacceptable to other NPCs, so they regard this list as nonsense.

For example, the Moon God may be the artificial intelligence system of Yueshan Amusement Park, so its name should also be related to "moon". Just like many mobile phone manufacturers in the real world, they will choose a catchy name for their voice assistants. Name to ensure that everyone can wake them up as soon as possible!

In addition, in order to take care of some sociophobic people, the names of these voice assistants will not be too cool, nor will they use some rare words to pretend to be intellectuals. Therefore, the voice assistants of domestic mobile phones generally start with the word "xiao". That is, "Xiao" and "Xiao", because in daily life, people often call others Xiao Liu, Xiao Zhang, and the puppy Xiao Hakimi.

Of course, in addition to the voice assistants of domestic mobile phones, there are also mascots of many companies that also abide by the same naming rules. Therefore, Liu Xing feels that if Yueshan Amusement Park wants to choose a name for the Moon God, it may be It's "Xiaoyue" or "Yueyue", of course it might also be "Artemis" or something like that. In short, in the eyes of NPCs in today's martial arts modules, these names are either disrespectful or have unclear meanings and can be used by others. It would be strange to accept that.

This is like in the original work of "The Wandering Blue Star". Although the scientists came up with a correct answer, they were misunderstood by the public because they could not verify it for the time being. In the end, they achieved what is called martyrdom!

However, these theologians seemed to be in a better position. Although their research results were not accepted by the public, they were able to escape unscathed. Moreover, they also highlighted a situation that changed like the wind and disappeared without a trace in a few days. , you must know that other schools that were expelled from the Zhuzi Academy had eyewitness reports in the first few years before they left, and then gradually died down, leaving only various legends that are not true or false.

Therefore, in the writings of novelists, these theologians have become a group of nagging gods. They chant some words every day that outsiders cannot understand at all, and even secretly perform some weird rituals at night, and then there will be one or two Crazy theologians will come out to serve as stepping stones for the protagonist.

 That’s right, in the many novels “Liu Peng” has read, theologians either appear as funny buffoons or as mentally ill villains. In short, they have no positive image. There may be a reversal.

 Liu Xing looked at Ge Jing, wanting to hear more information about theologians from him.

"Although they did not admit that they were descendants of theologians, my father discovered that although there was no ancestral hall in this village, you could see a shrine placed on the roadside every few steps, and these shrines were of different sizes. , and there are even some weird-shaped shrines. It can be seen that the statues in these shrines are different. However, these shrines are covered with a layer of linen, so it is not clear what the statues inside look like. Therefore, there is no guarantee that these statues will be the same. The statues are not the same."

Ge Jing said seriously: "How should I put it? When I went to that small village, I couldn't help but want to lift the linen cloth of the shrines. As a result, I was stopped by a passerby, who also gave me a severe slap. I was scolded! But now that I think about it, this is quite strange, because shrines like this placed on the roadside usually accept worship from passers-by, so why do you want to cover these shrines with a piece of cloth? Do you not want passers-by to know you? Facing that god’s statue? If you don’t want outsiders to know whose statue is in this shrine, why is it placed on the roadside?”

“Yeah, if that’s the case why not put all these shrines together?”

Liu Xing shook his head and said: "But I suspect that these statues may look scary, so I didn't dare to let you see them when you were young? Of course, this alone makes people feel that there is something wrong with this village."

"Yes, I felt that something was very wrong with this village at the time, but I saw that my father was still doing well at this time, so I followed him obediently! As for why I was talking to my father that day He went to this village because his best friend was getting married that day.”

Ge Jing sighed, shook his head and said: "If I guessed correctly, if that village wants to hold a banquet with a large number of people, it will use an open space outside the village as the only designated venue for the banquet, because there are There are many stone tables and stone benches, which are not something ordinary people can move casually. Even now, I may not be able to lift those stone benches, because I heard that these stone benches are buried in the soil, and the ground They are all specially tamped! But this is not important. What is important is that there are some strange patterns carved on these stone benches, which look like a group of monsters. I don’t remember whether I saw any of these patterns. of those bat men.”

"ah?"

Liu Xing couldn't help but exclaimed when he heard this, because if Ge Jing remembered correctly, then this village was definitely not simple. After all, they might know the existence of mythical creatures!

Is this an easter egg left in the Cthulhu Racer game lobby?

Looking at Liu Xing's curious eyes, Ge Jing sighed again and said: "What a pity, this village disappeared many years ago! That year, my father sent them some oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and cloth as promised. Yes, when we arrived, we found that the whole village looked dilapidated, with some traces of fire and some huge claw marks. As for the villagers and the shrines, none of them could be seen, so my father suspected that the village had been caught in a fire! Tiger, so the whole village could not escape. As for the remaining villagers, they also chose to leave after packing their things, because the fire tiger is a very vengeful monster, and it is possible that another one will come after it leaves. Carbine."

Liu Xing nodded, took a set of pen and paper from the side, and said with a serious face: "Brother Ge, if you can, you can draw the patterns you still remember, as well as those of the Batmen." If you draw a picture, I might know what they are!"

Ge Jing saw that Liu Xing was so serious, so he didn't say anything more and started drawing on the paper.

Soon, Ge Jing drew the Batman he saw with his own eyes. After all, this was a monster he saw only half a month ago, and it was difficult for him to forget it.

In Liu Xing's opinion, this simple drawing of a bat man is no different from Bayaki, but to be honest, the image of Bayaki is similar to the bat-winged monsters in other film and television works, or all bats. Wing monsters all have a similar image, the difference lies in how many pairs of wings it has and how many claws it has.

More importantly, in the Cthulhu Mythos, the description of Bayaki is not too detailed. In summary, it is a monster with bat wings that looks half human and half beast, with certain bird characteristics, so Liu When Xing first joined the Cthulhu Run game lobby, he specifically searched for information on some common mythical creatures, which naturally included Bayaki. Then he discovered that compared to the deep divers and ghouls who have clear images, There is a clear difference in the pictures of Bayaki.

If the illustrations about deep divers and ghouls are like the blue-eyed white dragon in "Yu-Gi-Oh!", although there are nine different-looking cards with different shapes, you can tell at a glance that they are all blue-eyed white dragons!

The pictures of Bayaki are like the different-art cards of the protagonist’s ace monster, the Black Magician. Several of them will give you the feeling of “different people wearing the same equipment”. After all, about Bayaki The description is too general, giving the latecomers ample room for creativity, as long as it is a half-man, half-animal with bat wings.

This is also reflected in the Cthulhu Running Game Hall. Many players believe that the Bayaki are the ones with the greatest individual differences among the many mythical creatures, because some Bayaki will have three pairs of insects like insects. They have feet, and their joints can reflex, and some Bayakis look like ugly versions of vampires, or ghouls with wings, and some players even claim to have seen a skinny version of Bayakis.

 So some players joked that Bayakhi is indeed an interstellar taxi. Bayaky in different areas have different appearances.
