Real Cthulhu Running Game

   Chapter 307 "Grandpa"

   Looking at the pink unidentified metal in the hands of the ancient Sirius, Liu Xing realized that this pink unidentified metal is likely to be some kind of high-tech product made by the ancients. . . Although the ancients liked cave dwelling very much and liked to engage in farming and animal husbandry, the technology of the ancients was still very developed. After all, the ancients could build large cities in the depths of the sea, engage in genetic engineering to create new creatures, and in wars In the early days, it was possible to fight with the family of the stars and the Yithians.

"This is my soul box. As the name suggests, this soul box can store my soul, which is consciousness. Because my body was damaged in the battle with the star family, I had to put my consciousness into this soul box. In the box, waiting for my compatriots to bring me back to the old continent, and create a new body for me to resurrect me." Sirius said with a smile.

Liu Xing nodded and understood that the old continent in Sirius' mouth should refer to the Antarctic continent, because the main reason for the ancients to fight with the star family is to compete for a new continent due to the movement of the earth's crust, which is Lalai in the future. Yeh's continent.

However, the "box of the soul" in the mouth of the ancients makes Liu Xing more noteworthy. This setting is similar to the artifact ring with the grandfather that often appeared in some fantasy novels that Liu Xing read in the real world. wonderful.

Of course, Liu Xing felt that this soul box should be made by the ancients using the soul transfer ability of the Yisi people, because Yisi people can transfer their souls to other creatures, so that they can live forever, and This soul box can also preserve the consciousness of the ancients, giving the ancients the opportunity to be resurrected in another body.

However, in this way, Liu Xing can almost be sure that the underground ruins of Fisherman's Village should be built by the ancients, but after the ancients were defeated by the star family, they were temporarily abandoned, and then by an ancient tribe. The dove occupies the magpie's nest, otherwise the box of souls would not stay here.

"By the way, my friend, I have a question to ask you, how is our battle with the star family now? Since you can use your consciousness to enter my soul box, it means that the star family who originally attacked this place should have been attacked. Back." Sirius asked curiously.

   Liu Xing frowned, Sirius's question is a bit tricky.

   After all, although Liu Xing himself knew that the ancients had been suppressed by other mythical creatures to the depths of the sea, and shivered and dared not go out, but "Watanabe Meteor" he did not know these things.

   Therefore, Liu Xing is now a little confused, how should he answer Sirius.

   As far as the current situation is concerned, Liu Xing can roughly have two views on Sirius.

The first statement is that based on the currently known information, "Watanabe Meteor" can still "speculate" that the ancients have been completely defeated, and may even have been "genocide". By the way, the current situation of the earth is given to Sirius speak.

The second way of saying that is to choose to deceive Sirius, or to use the Spring and Autumn brushwork to mislead Sirius, telling Sirius that the Star Familiar is no longer active on Earth, but the ancients are also in recuperation due to excessive losses in previous battles. status.

The first statement is that Liu Xing is worried that Sirius may not be able to withstand this blow. After all, Liu Xing does not need to pass any judgment now, and he can know that Sirius still fully expects his race to defeat the Star Family, and then will stay in the Soul The self in the box was "resurrected" again, and Liu Xing himself is still in the box of Sirius's soul. If Sirius falls into a rampant state because of learning the truth, then he will be out of luck.

   And the second statement, it is naturally a kind of white lie, although there are some elements of deliberate guidance, but what Liu Xing said is the truth, it should be able to make Sirius emotionally stable. . . Of course, Liu Xing felt that he could not rule out the possibility that Sirius found himself lying. . .

   Liu Xing finally decided to use the first statement after struggling for a while.

   After all, long-term pain is worse than short-term pain. Even if you can deceive for a while, you can't deceive forever. In order to prevent Sirius from finding out that he lied in the future, Liu Xing feels that it is better to tell the truth.

Therefore, Liu Xing shook his head, sighed and said: "Siris, I hope you can be mentally prepared, in fact, your race is likely to have been defeated, because the time is now before your race and the star family are fighting. It's been tens of thousands of years, maybe even longer, and you should have seen it by now, I don't look like any race you know, because I belong to a race where you finally meet the Star Familiar. It was born after the battle, and before that, I didn't know the existence of your race."

   Liu Xing's remarks made Sirius fall into silence.

However, Liu Xing is also thinking about a question now, that is why Sirius is so enthusiastic about himself. After all, he and Sirius are not of the same race, and there is almost no communication between the two races of humans and ancients. , because the ancients were completely secluded in the deep sea before the birth of human beings, and although human beings have flown into space now, human beings still have no way to fully penetrate the bottom of the sea.

   Therefore, according to the setting of the Cthulhu mythology, humans only confirmed the existence of the ancient race through the ancient ruins found in Antarctica.

Therefore, Liu Xing felt that the relationship between himself and Sirius was at most a stranger who had never been masked, and he was a stranger who suddenly broke into Sirius' "home", so why did Sirius treat him So warm, and he calls himself a friend.

After a while, Sirius finally came back to his senses and asked, "Well, in that case, I have been dormant in the Soul Box for a long time, and it seems that the world has been turned upside down. Change, if possible, I hope you can explain the current world to me, Liu Xing, okay?"

Such a polite Sirius made Liu Xing unable to refuse, so Liu Xing nodded and said earnestly: "Be clear in advance, I don't know about Sirius, your race and the family of stars fighting, because that time was really hard. It's so long ago that my race probably didn't even exist, so I can only tell some of the history of my race right now."

"First of all, the race I belong to is called human, because the scientists of the race I belong to have not fully determined the specific origin of our race, so I can only say that my race has officially evolved into what I am now. Hundreds of thousands of years ago, there were many creatures of other races on the earth at that time, but the creatures of those races did not develop enough intelligence, so in the end my race was officially ruled thousands of years ago Most of the continents of the earth."

   Hearing this, Sirius couldn't help interrupting Liu Xing's words, "Most of the continents, including the old and new continents in my mouth?"

  While speaking, Sirius projected the global map of the earth where he was at that time, and on this map also appeared the continents where Antarctica and Laleye were located.

Liu Xing pretended to study the map seriously, then pointed to the Antarctic continent and said: "On the earth now, this continent still exists, we call this continent Antarctica, because it is covered with heavy snow all year round, so in addition to Except for a few scientists who will conduct scientific research on the Antarctic continent, other people will almost never set foot on the Antarctic continent. As for the other continent, it no longer exists, or it may have sunk in the ocean."

   Sirius frowned. . . If that was a brow, he said, "What, has the Old Continent been covered with ice and snow? The central city that my race established was in the Old Continent, and my race was still quite afraid of the cold, so I Now I believe what you said, my friend, the race I belong to is likely to have been defeated, but fortunately, the guys from the Star Familiar are more unlucky than us, and the new continent they are in has disappeared."

Liu Xing nodded with a smile, but he was complaining in his heart, Sirius, you are really old enough, and your memory has deteriorated. The star family can survive in the sea and land just like your ancients, even if The new continent where Lalaye is located has sunk into the bottom of the sea, which is not a happy news.

After complaining in his heart, Liu Xing continued: "During the period when we humans ruled the earth, although some strange creatures occasionally appeared, uh, like Sirius, these creatures are basically amazing. At a glance, it has had little impact on the course of our human history... or the impact is at a deeper level, unknown to ordinary people like me."

"Of course, for some reason, I have seen a lot of so-called mythical creatures, and have dealt with these mythical creatures, and learned that some humans have established beliefs and worship for these mythical creatures. The most important thing is that now I Had a bad relationship with a secret church that believed in the deep diver, uh, the deep diver is a monster with a fish head."

While talking, Liu Xing observed Sirius' demeanor. The reason why Liu Xing mentioned the Deep Sea Gospel Society and the Deep Divers was naturally that he hoped that Sirius could help him. After all, the Deep Divers were also the mortal enemies of the ancients. one.

Sure enough, when Liu Xing mentioned the deep diver, Sirius couldn't help but say again: "What, do the deep diver still exist, these guys are my mortal enemies, if not the Star Familiar who attacked here back then? With the support of these deep divers, it is definitely impossible to attack this place."

   Hearing Sirius say this, Liu Xing knew that this wave had stabilized.

Therefore, Liu Xing continued to add fuel to the jealousy and said: "What, has the deep diver been around for so long? I saw a deep diver with my own eyes a long time ago. If I hadn't been prepared, I might have been caught by that deep diver. The attacker was killed, but fortunately I succeeded in killing it in the end.”

The deep diver in Liu Xing's mouth naturally refers to Mo Jin. Although "Watanabe Meteor" also knows that Mo Jin's character card is just a hybrid of a deep diver who has not been completely transformed, but Liu Xing still selectively ignores it. At this point, Mo Jin's character card is classified as a deep diver.

   "That's it, I didn't read it wrong, we are comrades in arms on the same front." Sirius looked at Liu Xing with a look of relief, although this expression seemed a little permeable to Liu Xing. . .

But when he got here, Liu Xing finally couldn't help it and asked: "Uh, Sirius, although I think we are indeed friends now, but we should have never known each other before, so how could you let that happen? Where do I enter your soul box?"

   Sirius smiled, pointed at Liu Xing and said, "I can feel the mark of that adult on your body."

   Liu Xing suddenly realized that the Lord Sirius was referring to was the king in yellow, Hastur.

   As the mortal enemy of Cthulhu, Hastur, the king in yellow, is naturally likely to choose to help Cthulhu's opponent, the ancient.

I see.

   Liu Xing finally understood why he entered Sirius' soul box.

But this is a good thing. After all, as far as the current situation is concerned, Sirius should be considered his own, and he should be able to seek some help from Sirius. Although Sirius is still in ideology, Liu Xing believes that with Sirius' knowledge Still very useful.

  Thinking of this, Liu Xing suddenly felt that he was a bit like the protagonist of a novel, because Sirius was similar to "Old Grandpa" in a sense. . .

  After confirming the "comrade-in-arms" relationship, Liu Xing relaxed and began to ask Sirius an important question, "Sirius, by the way, where you were stationed back then, is there a bronze gate connected to the Dreamland?"

   Liu Xing wants to determine if Sirius is a "native", if Sirius was brought to Fisherman's Village from somewhere else, there is nothing to say now.

Sirius nodded and said with a smile: "I didn't expect you to know about the Dreamland, yes, there was indeed a bronze gate connected to the Dreamland where I was stationed, and behind that bronze gate is the Dreamland. An unknown grassland, so it can be regarded as an escape route, but because my compatriots and I were in a confrontation with the star family at the beginning, I did not expect that the deep diver suddenly attacked our rear, causing us to be in a very short time. Nei was defeated and did not have time to go through the bronze gate to Dreamland, and then return to our capital through another dimension gate in Dreamland."

   Liu Xing nodded, and now he can be sure that the underground ruins of Fisherman's Village can actually be traced back to the ancient times.

  So, will Sirius leave something in the underground ruins of Fisherman's Village?

  PS: There was one more word in the title yesterday. . .
