Real Cthulhu Running Game

  Chapter 330 Alice's Story

   Hearing that Alice was coming back, everyone hurried back to their seats first. Zhang Jingxu gave everyone a wink, saying that he wanted to chat with Alice later and ask everyone to cooperate with him.

   After half a minute, Alice walked in alone, and Liu Xing could see from Alice's depressed look that her conversation with Ichiro Matsui was not going well.

   And Zhang Jingxu also took this as a topic and said, "Miss Alice, why are you looking so sad, is there a problem with the conversation with Mr. Matsui Ichiro?"

Alice nodded and said helplessly: "Yes, Mr. Matsui Ichiro is too stubborn, he has always insisted on his own ideas at the beginning, and he doesn't know how to work around it. The statue was removed from the ancestral hall of Fisherman's Village."

  Idols?

Liu Xing raised his brows. He didn't expect that Alice would say the wrong thing at this time, or tell the truth. She even called the strange statues in the Fisherman's Village ancestral hall **** statues. Those statues are handicrafts.

  In this way, those statues may indeed be the gods of the Ocean True God Sect?

   Zhang Jingxu also grasped this point, and immediately asked: "Statues? Miss Alice, you mean that those strange statues are gods, don't you mean they are handicrafts?"

  Alice also realized that she seemed to have said the wrong thing at this time, but since Alice can serve as the intelligence director of the Kyoto branch of the Deep Sea Gospel Society, it means that Alice still has two brushes.

So Alice quickly reacted, and said without changing her face and heart: "Oh, those statues are indeed handicrafts, but they can also be classified into the category of **** statues, after all, like those cross-shaped pendants, they can be regarded as Jewelry can also be used to pray at certain times."

Zhang Jingxu pretended to be suddenly enlightened, and said with a smile: "So it is, Miss Alice, you have seen it thoroughly, but in this way, Miss Alice, you only want the statues because those statues are actually **** statues. Do you convince Mr. Matsui Ichiro to take those idols out of the ancestral hall of Fisherman's Village?"

Alice nodded, sighed and said, "You're right, that's what I think, because you should all be able to see from the images of the gods that the church from which these gods came from is not a formal church. ."

   "Miss Alice, do you mean, Mr. Matsui Ichiro, he believes in some evil secret church?!" Miyako Goto pretended to be shocked.

Alice sighed again and said solemnly: "I'm not sure about this now, because I've been talking about Mr. Matsui Ichiro's words just now, and I want to determine how much he knows about those idols. To determine whether Mr. Matsui Ichiro is a believer from an evil secret church, the result of Mr. Matsui Ichiro's performance is really ambiguous, because according to my observation, Mr. Matsui Ichiro does not know the true nature of these idols. The origin, the attitude towards these idols is not pious, but no matter what I say, Mr. Matsui Ichiro has never let go, he can always find various reasons, and he is unwilling to move these idols, which makes me very helpless. ."

   Zhang Jingxu also sighed and said, "Forget it, since Mr. Ichiro Matsui is unwilling, it's best for us outsiders not to interfere."

"No, no, I have to take care of this matter, because you may not know that the idols of these secret churches generally have a kind of demagogic power, so that people who didn't believe in it at first become pious. believers, because I have encountered such a thing before." Alice said solemnly.

   Then, Alice began to tell her own "personal experience".

  Alice is an Englishman, born in a wealthy area of ​​London, her parents are famous local lawyers.

  When she grew up, Alice often listened to her parents at the dinner table discussing some cases they handled, including some supernatural cases.

For example, in London's long-established and well-connected subway network, there are often reports of sightings of mysterious creatures in the middle of the night. The most important thing is that there has been a midnight subway serial murder case. The victims are all waiting alone in a remote subway station. When driving, in the blind spot of the surveillance camera, there was a sudden scream, followed by the sound of some kind of sharp weapon tearing the body, and the victim disappeared. There is no chance of survival.

In just half a month, there were nearly 50 victims, and none of them survived. Because of the need to maintain order, the London police did not dare to make these incidents public. The murder case is closed-ended investigation, and the family of the victim is also kept silent, only that the victim may have been kidnapped.

At that time, Alice's father was still working in the police station. At the end of the day, the police station suddenly announced that after the subway was suspended tonight, all the police would cooperate with the temporarily deployed army to search along the subway line, and arrest the possible A murderer hiding in the subway.

At first, Alice's father didn't care too much, but when Alice's father came to the designated subway station in the middle of the night and looked at the heavily armed army, he realized that something was wrong. Go catch Ben **.

  So, this made Alice's father alert, and after assigning a team to start action, he deliberately walked to the middle and safest position.

After a while, Alice's father suddenly heard the sound of someone firing ahead, and it was the sound of more than ten people firing at the same time, but what surprised Alice's father even more was that there was some kind of strange howling. A howl, a howl that is by no means human.

As a result, Alice's father followed his team to the scene of the incident quickly, and then saw a scene that he would never forget in his life and destroyed all three views - two ghouls were eating the corpses, and these corpses naturally It was from the team members who had just exchanged fire with them, including Alice's father's best colleagues and friends.

Then, Alice's father felt that his mind was blank. He only felt that the gunshots in his ears were getting farther and farther. When Alice's father came back to his senses, he found that he had been sent to the hospital. the next night.

   After being discharged from the hospital, Alice's father submitted a resignation letter to the police force and chose to quit the police force to become a lawyer because Alice's father did not want to face those terrifying ghouls again.

   But Alice's father was still curious about the ins and outs of the case, so he found his colleague Chris, who was assigned to the same team as him that night.

   It happened that Chris had a chance to be promoted because of his outstanding performance in the action that night and killed a ghoul himself, so that he could get in touch with the truth of the case.

   In this case, there were two big three small five ghouls, and these five ghouls were originally a happy family of five, a middle-class family living in London.

  Because this family of five are Chelsea fans, they followed the home team to Manchester City a year ago to watch the match between Manchester United and Chelsea, because this game is related to the title of the league this season.

   Then, Manchester United won the game.

  Although a little depressed, the family of five quickly adjusted their mentality and began to visit Manchester, buying various souvenirs, including a ghoul-shaped statue.

Later, the police found the merchant who sold the statue. To put it bluntly, it was a street stall owner. The street stall owner said that the statue was put on consignment by others, and the person who sold the statue on consignment said that the statue came from an ancient castle. But they asked the stall owner to sell the statue at a low price.

   Then, the police have yet to find the person who consigned the statue. . .

  The words are back to normal.

  The family of five returned to London with the statue, because the statue looked very curious, so it was placed in his room by the eldest son who was in adolescence.

   After half a year, the eldest son began to express in school that he often had nightmares and was chased and killed by a ghoul in various ways. After another three months, the family of five expressed that they had nightmares every day on various occasions.

   Then, a month before the midnight subway serial murders, the family of five suddenly disappeared at the same time. At that time, the London police also received a missing report and conducted an investigation. . . Of course, the result is of course nothing.

Therefore, after the police invited a highly respected magician in London, they officially identified the murderer of this midnight subway serial murder case. The five ghouls were the missing family of five, and the reason why they became like this , because of that statue.

   As for the statue, it was not found in the end, but the magician had already determined that the statue was from a branch of the corpse sect, and it was also a deity of the secret church.

   After listening to Alice's narration, Liu Xing couldn't help frowning. He didn't expect Alice's father to have contact with ghouls, although Alice's father fell into a temporary state of madness at that time.

   But what makes Liu Xing most concerned is that Alice's father's colleague's name is Chris.

Because if nothing else, this Chris is likely to be Elizabeth's adoptive father, and Elizabeth is the hidden boss in the mod when Liu Xing was playing the first official Cthulhu running game, and charmed Liu Xing. A successful centenarian witch!

And the statue that turned a family of five into ghouls, but the family of five bought it in Manchester City, and the consignor of the statue claimed that it was an antique from an old castle, which should be The castle where Elizabeth once lived.

   Therefore, Liu Xing suspects that the consignee of the statue is likely to be Elizabeth's brother Gary.

  The world is impermanent.

  Gary has now been killed by his servant ghoul, and Elizabeth has become Chris's adopted daughter. . . Although Elizabeth can be Chris's grandmother.

   And he changed from "Liu Xing" to "Watanabe Meteor", and met Alice again.

   Now Liu Xing has a vague feeling that he is very likely to meet Elizabeth again, and it will be with Alice.

After telling her father's story, Alice concluded: "Learning from the past, the teacher behind, and although you may think that I am overly worried, I have to say that there is nothing wrong with the statues. It hasn't had any substantial impact on us yet, but if you find yourself growing fish scales that day, it will be too late, well, I'll go back to my room to rest first."

   Alice went upstairs.

   However, Liu Xing suddenly noticed that there was a flash of dark green at the connection between Alice's right wrist and the sleeve, which caught Liu Xing's attention.

   When Liu Xing wanted to continue to observe, Alice had already turned upstairs.

   This made Liu Xing fall into silence. If he didn't have dazzling eyes, the trace of dark green on Alice's wrist was most likely a scale!

   Combined with what Alice said at the end, Liu Xing was more sure of his own thoughts.

The most important thing is that Liu Xing discovered from the memory of "Watanabe Meteor" that the Deep Sea Gospel Society has indeed mastered a technology that can transform people into "deep divers", but this technology is still immature, and the transformation is difficult. The "deep diver" who has become a person can only be said to have only his shape, not his god. In the final analysis, he can only be regarded as a human with the appearance of a deep diver.

From this point, Liu Xing can also infer that although the Deep Sea Gospel Society believes in the deep diver, it is not in close contact with the deep diver. .

   Having said that, Alice, as a middle-level cadre of the Deep Sea Gospel Society, is also reasonable to accept the "deep diver".

   However, Liu Xing could hear from Alice's tone that Alice did not want to be "deep diver". After all, if Alice wanted to, she would not have said the word "fish scale".

   Therefore, Liu Xing is now more and more curious about the NPC Alice.

Hearing that Alice had entered the room, Zhang Jingxu said with a smile: "Okay, after Alice leaves the villa, I'll go get some anti-magic dust, and then Ishikawa Ling, you have to run again, Enter Alice's room and dispose of that compound magic circle, of course, Ishikawa-san, don't worry, we won't be watching you move."

  Ishikawa Ling nodded dumbfoundedly.

   And Miyako Wutong, who was just looking at the wind, asked very curiously: "By the way, Ishikawa-san, you haven't answered my question just now?"
