Real Cthulhu Running Game

   Chapter 357 Original Mythical Creatures

   Liu Xing frowned and said: "Is this because our mobile phones have problems at the same time? Why does the mobile phone display the time at eleven o'clock, and we only stayed outside for about half an hour?"

Zhang Jingxu shook his head and said seriously: "It shouldn't be a problem with the mobile phone. Li Dian made it clear that he can be sure that he has been in the clinic for more than two hours. Because of the sudden rainstorm yesterday, after we left the clinic. There were only a few patients who received transfusions, so Li Dian always needs to pay attention to the time to change the medicines for the patients, which is why Li Dian dares to be so sure."

"It shouldn't be, we only stayed at the Broken Bridge for about ten minutes, then walked to the bamboo forest for a minute or two, then went directly back to the Broken Bridge, chatted with Xiao Mochen for a while, and then came back. It took half an hour to do all the calculations." Ishikawa Ling said suspiciously.

   Liu Xing touched his chin and fell into contemplation.

At present, what is certain is that if Li Dian didn't lie, or if he was conspiring with Hu Cang to deceive his group, then his group's time did disappear for two hours for no reason, and his group didn't have any. find.

Therefore, now Liu Xing's biggest suspect is the mythical creature deep in the bamboo forest. After all, the only abnormal situation that his group encountered in the past two and a half hours was when they were given to the mythical creature by this mythical creature outside the bamboo forest. stared at.

First of all, Liu Xing can rule out that his group was controlled by the mythical creature with some kind of magic, so he did not perceive the possibility of the passage of time, because Liu Xing did not hear the sound of the dice falling to the ground at that time, which means that kp Xuefeng didn't make a secret roll at that time. You must know that even if it is President Ke, it needs to roll dice when it affects the player, so this mythical creature can't be more powerful than President Ke.

And from the story in Xiao Mochen's mouth, the mythical creature should not have the ability to control time. After all, if the mythical creature really had the ability to control time, then it should not have been used by the Taoist priest. Trapped in the depths of the bamboo forest, not to mention that even in the Cthulhu running game, there are very few mythical creatures that can control time. Just travel through time without really controlling it.

   Therefore, Liu Xing ruled out the possibility of the mythical creature affecting time.

   Could it be Xiao Mochen?

Liu Xing shook his head. Although Xiao Mochen's overall image seems to be a little out of tune with Panlong Town, this does not mean that Xiao Mochen has a problem. After all, personal clothing depends on personal hobbies. See kill Matt. . .

It is not advisable to judge people by their appearance, and according to a major theorem of the Cthulhu running game, people like Xiao Mochen who look different are generally unlikely to be the final boss, at most they can only be regarded as more important NPCs That's all, after all, the final boss that can be seen at a glance, there is no need to exist.

Therefore, Liu Xing also ruled out Xiao Mochen, but now Liu Xing has also firmed up his idea of ​​going to Xiao Mochen's teahouse in the afternoon, because Liu Xing thinks that Xiao Mochen should also have side quests, and some important information.

Next, Liu Xing directly ruled out the possibility of the black dragon. After all, the black dragon did not appear in the scene today, and for the same reason that the mythical creature was excluded, Liu Xing did not feel that the black dragon Will be able to control time.

In the end, Liu Xing ruled out the possibility of Hu Cang. Although Hu Cang might have influenced his group by drugging the food, after all, the food that his group ate in the module came from Hu Cang, but Li Dian was not affected, and Liu Xing couldn't think of why Hu Cang did this, because if Hu Cang really wanted to deal with his own party, then it would be fine to directly poison him and his party.

   Now Liu Xing's mind is already a mess, and he really can't think of a reason.

   At this time, Ishikawa Ling said, "I may know why we lost two hours for no reason."

  Ishikawa Ling said while giving Liu Xing a wink.

   Liu Xing understood what Ishikawa Ling meant, and nodded lightly, indicating that Ishikawa Ling can now tell Zhang Jingxu the speculation this morning.

Therefore, Ishikawa Ling first told Zhang Jingxu the speculation this morning, and then continued: "Although the current Panlong Town has become an independent space, if this independent space does not have a strong existence to maintain it. , then there will definitely be some abnormal situations in this independent space, such as the situation we encountered, the time flow rate in a certain area suddenly increases."

"When my cheap master Serak was teaching about these spatial knowledge, he told a little story by the way, that an evil magician appeared in the ancient times of Cybril, because this evil magician wanted to stand on his own. To be king, so he borrowed the power of a certain old ruler to turn a city into an independent space, and then became the king of the city."

"Because the strength of the old ruler is too powerful, those who came to destroy the evil magician were unable to enter the city, and in the end they could only return without success, but the evil magician also It didn't take too long, because maintaining this independent space requires a lot of mana, so the evil magician was unable to maintain that independent space, resulting in various abnormal situations in this independent space."

"For example, a fire suddenly broke out in a certain area of ​​the city, turning that area into scorched earth; or the people in a building suddenly rejuvenated and turned into newborn children; All sucked straight away; in short, that isolated space eventually collapsed, and the city and the evil magician were wiped out."

   Liu Xing raised his brows and said, "Ishikawa Ling, you mean that our luck is pretty good now, and we didn't directly encounter that kind of fatal abnormal situation."

Ishikawa Ling nodded and said seriously: "Yes, our luck today is indeed very good, we didn't die inexplicably by the river, and what I can confirm now is that the place where we encountered the abnormal situation is next to the bamboo forest. , because when I was looking at the top of the bamboo forest, I noticed that the position of the sun was still normal at that time, and when we returned to the broken bridge, I felt that the shadow on the ground seemed to be wrong, but I was I didn't care too much."

   Liu Xing thought about it carefully, it seems that there is such a thing.

   "Then let's not go near the bamboo forest for the time being, lest we stay in it for more than ten minutes, and the real world will pass for a day." Liu Xing said with a frown.

Ishikawa Ling shook his head and said, "Actually, there is no need to be so afraid of the bamboo forest area, because the abnormal situation is called an abnormal situation because it will not continue to appear in a certain area for a long time, otherwise It should be renamed the Common Sense situation."

   Well, Liu Xing found that he was thinking too much.

   After roughly "solving" the problem of the inexplicable disappearance of time, Liu Xing instructed Zhang Jingxu not to tell Wan Chongshan and Li Dian about these conjectures for the time being.

   Zhang Jingxu nodded, then turned to chat with Li Dian and Wan Chongshan. As for Hu Cang, he had already gone to the kitchen on the first floor to cook.

   Liu Xing and Ishikawa Ling could only sit on the side, chatting casually.

After a while, Zhang Jingxu also sat next to Liu Xing and said, "I asked Li Dian and Wan Chongshan just now, and they also think that Panlong Town has its own weirdness, which is why our time suddenly accelerated. , and Li Dian has already gained Hu Cang's trust initially."

"That's a good thing. Judging from Xiao Mochen's performance, we can now be sure that everyone in Panlong Town should know about the existence of the black dragon, but for some ulterior reason, they all chose to avoid it. If the relationship between Li Dian and Hu Cang can be further improved, then Li Dian can learn the story of the black dragon from Hu Cang's mouth." Ishikawa Ling said with a smile.

Zhang Jingxu nodded and said, "Well, then, the version of the story that Hu Cang told Li Dian is more complete than what we heard from Xiao Mochen, for example, that story happened fifty years ago. The real body of the monster is actually a black cat; there are some discrepancies. For example, one of those bear children is not dead, and they are still alive now, and It's that the black cat demon didn't slaughter a whole town overnight, but the black cat demon did kill a lot of people."

   Black cat demon? !

   Liu Xing raised his brows. In various folklore stories from ancient and modern China and abroad, cats are still very likely to appear, especially black cats, who basically appear as villains.

After all, the cat itself is a mysterious animal that comes and goes without a trace, and black cats can blend into the darkness because of their body color. In addition, the sound of cats walking is very light, so it is easy for black cats at night. Frightening people, over time black cats have become synonymous with unknown.

In the Cthulhu running game, the probability of the black cat demon appearing as a mythical creature is quite low. After all, the strength gap between black cats and ghouls, deep divers and these mythical creatures is quite large, and unless it is The magic-modified version of the black cat demon, otherwise the ordinary black cat demon will not be able to scare people at all, so it will not be able to perform the KP's favorite san score check.

And for players, it is still very troublesome to deal with the black cat demon, because if the black cat demon is to appear as a mythical creature, it is a self-created mythical creature, because there is no mention in the rule book of the Cthulhu run game. As for the template about the black cat demon, the author of the mod can only set the black cat demon. Therefore, for players who have not seen the content of the mod, they do not know the strength of the black cat demon at all, and cannot be determined. How to deal with the black cat demon.

Thinking of this, Liu Xing couldn't help sighing. It seems that there will be many original mythical creatures in this module. After all, this has just begun, and two original mythical creatures, the black dragon and the black cat demon, have appeared. As the plot develops, you will encounter many original mythical creatures.

   At this time, Hu Cang had come out with his lunch, and everyone went to the table to eat.

   I have to say, Hu Cang's craftsmanship is pretty good.

   After eating, everyone found an excuse to take a nap and returned to the third floor to gather in Li Dian and Wan Chongshan's room to discuss the situation.

   Of course, because the number of times of using the time of the secret room is very limited, and kp Xuefeng has not stated the approximate duration of this mod so far, so the number of times of using the time of the secret room must be used sparingly.

But this time, in order not to trouble Zhang Jingxu to perform simultaneous translation, Liu Xing and others divided into two small groups for discussion. After the two small groups have finished discussing, Zhang Jingxu will pass the results to both parties, and conduct the second round of discussions.

   Zhang Jingxu is naturally on the side of Liu Xing and Ishikawa Ling.

   Soon, everyone reached a consensus.

   First of all, the sudden acceleration of the passage of time should be just an example, so don’t be too concerned about it.

   The second is the black cat demon deep in the bamboo forest. Now it is best not to provoke it. After all, this black cat demon has killed people, so it is not a good thing no matter how you look at it.

Then, it is up to Li Dian to continue to have a good relationship with Hu Cang. As for Xiao Mochen, he also needs someone to follow up, and the best candidate is Wanzhongshan, because Wanzhongshan likes to play mahjong, so Wanzhongshan should be able to He has a common language with Xiao Mochen, the teahouse owner.

   After all, in the Rongcheng area, or even in the entire Bashu area, teahouses are basically equivalent to mahjong halls.

Finally, it's the schedule for the afternoon. First of all, everyone must go to Xiao Mochen's teahouse to have a look. After all, no matter what game it is in, a place like a teahouse has a lot of people and is responsible for the composition of the staff. , are good places to gather intelligence.

   More importantly, Liu Xing is a little itchy now.

  As a native of Rongcheng, Liu Xing has learned to play mahjong since he was a child. After all, during festivals, weddings and funerals, relatives and friends will definitely choose to play mahjong when they gather together, so Liu Xing can also be said to be familiar.

However, after graduating from university, because the doctor's job is too busy, Liu Xing only plays mahjong with his cousins ​​and cousins ​​during the Chinese New Year all year round, so now Liu Xing is eager to try, after all, Liu Xing can Haven't played mahjong in the Cthulhu run game.

   Of course, after all, the essence of Mahjong and Cthulhu running group games is still the same, the main thing is the player's luck and choices.

  PS: After writing this, I want to play mahjong again. . .
