Real Cthulhu Running Game

   Chapter 436 Goodbye Hu Li

   "This is the scent of roses, but there seems to be something strange in this scent." Alice said.

   Liu Xing put on the rubber gloves that the police officer had handed him before, picked up the incense burner and said, "Did you feel that after entering this room, you feel that your ability to react and think has decreased."

Standing next to Liu Xing, Ishikawa Ling nodded and said seriously: "Yes, after I entered this room, I felt a kind of inexplicable discomfort, so if it wasn't for Meteor, I thought it was just me. I'm not feeling well."

   "Mr. Meteor, you mean ecstasy?!" Alice said in surprise.

Liu Xing nodded, opened the incense burner and said with certainty: "Yes, it is the ecstasy incense, but to be precise, it should be the low-grade version of the ecstasy incense that the corpse food taught himself to make, I believe you should know the real incense, Miss Alice. The ecstasy incense is very rare, so many secret churches will make various low-end versions of the ecstasy incense, and the difference between the low-end version of the ecstasy and the genuine ecstasy incense, except that the effect is slightly different, the biggest difference. The difference is that the low-end version of ecstasy cannot be colorless and odorless, so it will have a special smell, which is the strange smell you just mentioned, Miss Alice."

The reason why Liu Xing is so sure is because the ecstasy incense in the hands of "Watanabe Meteor" is also a low-grade version, and it happens to be from the same source as the low-grade version of the ecstasy used in the incense burner, from the same "business". .

   As Liu Xing just said, because genuine ecstasy incense is expensive and the annual shipment is only a little, so many secret churches are thinking about researching the formula of ecstasy incense.

Of course, these secret churches must not be able to imitate genuine ecstasy incense, so these secret churches are also self-aware, and they have produced many low-end versions of ecstasy incense, such as the one used by Baihe City on Yueshi. Ecstasy is a low-profile version, which can also play a role in quick hypnosis, and it will also emit a lot of black smoke.

And the low-end version of the ecstasy incense in the hands of "Watanabe Meteor" is taking a demagogic route, which can make people affected by this low-end version of ecstasy more easily accept various forms of psychological suggestion. But this low-grade version of ecstasy will have a faint strange smell, and people can clearly distinguish this smell after smelling it once.

   But what makes Liu Xing feel the most annoying is that whether it is the low-end version of the ecstasy incense or the genuine ecstasy incense, their item names are called ecstasy incense, unlike other props that have some prefixes.

   Therefore, Liu Xing can now be sure that Alexander was influenced by this low-end version of ecstasy, and finally chose to commit suicide after receiving a psychological suggestion from someone.

   As for someone here, Liu Xing thinks that in all likelihood he should be a corpse eater.

"This is difficult. Although we know that Alexander committed suicide after being hypnotized, we basically have no strong evidence to prove it. After all, we can even extract it from the ashes in this censer. There are some hallucinogenic ingredients, but for ordinary people, this can only prove that Alexander may have hallucinations due to overdose/drug overdose, and then chose to shoot himself." Zhang Jingxu shook his head and said.

   At this moment, Chris came over and had a conversation with Alice.

The conscientious translator Ishikawa Ling whispered to Liu Xing: "Alice told Chris all the clues we found today in North Point and the QB Spinning Mill, including our current analysis of the cause of Alexander's death, and Chris just mentioned that after a preliminary investigation, there was a phone call before Alexander shot himself, which lasted only five seconds, and then Alexander hung up and chose to shoot himself, so this proves Our guess is right, Alexander should have been planted with psychological cues very early, and then today after being hypnotized by this low-profile version of ecstasy, he received a call from someone, on the phone the person mentioned When it came to the key words that triggered psychological cues, Alexander was finally forced to kill himself."

Liu Xing nodded and said, "Did Chris mention that the police can track down the phone number and determine the owner of the phone number... Forget it, it seems impossible, after all, the other party has Having made so many preparations to kill Alexander, it is impossible to forget to make this call with a calling card with no information available."

  According to the normal plot, it is impossible for the villain to be stupid enough to call Alexander from his personal phone.

   However, this time Liu Xing guessed wrong.

Ishikawa Ling shook his head and said with some doubts: "No no no, Meteor, you guessed wrong this time, the police technicians have guessed that the phone number just called to Alexander came from a man named Ace. People, and this Ace is a fugitive in England, once the leader of a small secret church, a year ago in Portsmouth, he held a sacrifice ceremony, let twenty believers cut each other's throats to death , Because the situation at the scene was extremely tragic, Ace was reported by a timid new believer, so Ace became a wanted criminal, but after the sacrificial ceremony, Ace never showed up again. "

Liu Xing raised his brows, touched his chin and said, "In that case, Ace should have joined the Corpse Eating Sect after the sacrificial ceremony and was protected by the Corpse Eating Sect, so he was able to hide in the dark, but Why did the Corpse Eater Sect push Ace out this time? Could it be that the Corpse Eater Sect is trying to divert the police's attention?"

At this time, Alice had finished discussing with Chris, and turned back and said, "That's not necessarily true. I have heard about this Ace from my teacher. According to my teacher's investigation, the sacrificial ceremony he held is very likely to be a In order to open the door to the dreamland, he sacrificed his followers to some kind of mythical creature, because there is a door to the dreamland where Ace held the sacrifice ceremony, so I think Ace After the sacrificial ceremony, he entered the dreamland and hid himself."

"In the case of the dreamland, it should also be related to ghouls. After all, there is a saying that ghouls are creatures in the dreamland, which is also the reason why ghouls are haunted, so it is still possible for Ace to join the corpse cannibalism. And if he really joins the Corpse Eating Sect, then Ace's position in the Corpse Eating Sect should be quite high." Zhang Jingxu said.

Liu Xing nodded and said seriously: "Judging from the current situation, the possibility of Ace joining the corpse cannibalism can be said to be very high, but the strange thing is, why did Ace stand up at this time? It stands to reason that there is no need for him to show up."

The Yithian thought for a while and said, "Could that be the case? Didn't Chris say that Alexander is a cautious person, so Alexander should not choose to answer unknown calls, so the corpse can only choose to find one and Alexander Someone you know came to make the call, and Ace happened to know Alexander, so it's logical to think so."

   The speculation of the Yithians is indeed tenable.

   But now is not the time to chat, Liu Xing and others have not forgotten the purpose of their group here.

  So, Liu Xing and others dispersed again to investigate at Alexander's home, but found nothing.

   After all, the corpse cannibalism used remote hypnosis to make Alexander commit suicide, so there are no useful clues left here.

   So, Chris let Liu Xing and others go back first.

   Of course, the Yithian also discussed with Chris, and successfully obtained a new security point from Chris.

   Back in the car, the Yithian told the address of the new safe point.

   Hearing the address of the security point, Zhang Jingxu raised his brows and said, "The address of this security point seems to be exactly the same as the address on the note."

   The note in Zhang Jingxu's mouth naturally refers to the note in the Water Ghost's wallet in Panlong Town.

   "Do you know the address of this safe spot?" The Yithian asked curiously.

   Zhang Jingxu nodded and briefly told the Yisi people about the water ghost note.

The Issian raised his brows and said, "Chris told me that this security spot is the property of the Manchester Police, and it is a place specially used to connect with undercover officers. Only the top management of Manchester Police and the undercover officers know about it, so when you meet someone, you have to be safe. The water ghost that arrived should be the undercover agent of the Manchester police, after all, the only high-level man in the Manchester police for so many years is that Tom died."

  The water ghost is an undercover agent of the Manchester police?

Liu Xing has now figured out how the undercover agent turned into a water ghost - Glaaki's believers were preaching in Manchester. When the Manchester police knew about it, they sent an undercover agent into Glaaki's church to investigate, but it turned out that this undercover agent would be useful. After the information was passed on, Glaki was turned into a water ghost and sent to Panlong Town.

   But that doesn't matter anymore.

   "By the way, don't you think that Ace looks like a player?" Ishikawa Ling said.

Zhang Jingxu nodded and said seriously: "I think this Ace should also be a player. After all, the enemy is in the dark and I am in the light. The module lets us know the situation of the opponent's player in this way, which is also a means of balance. , but from the current situation, there are already at least two fanatics among the four players in the opposing camp, which is not a good thing for us."

  A player whose profession is a fanatic can really do whatever he wants when the san value is relatively low.

   And now it is certain that the san value of Baihe City has long been low, and Ace, who has already held a sacrifice ceremony, should have the same san value as Baihe City.

   So if White River City cooperates with Ace, then they can really do everything, and then they will become very passive.

Thinking of this, Liu Xing sighed and said: "Okay, after we go back to meet Lu Tianya and the others, we will pack up and head to a safe place, and then tell Lu Tianya and the others not to contact Shi Zixuan anymore, it is better to let Lu Tianya They have been staying in a safe spot to prevent Lu Tianya and the others from being attacked by the enemy."

  Because other cases of disappearance of foreign tourists in Manchester were all robbed by the corpse cult, there was no need to investigate, so Liu Xing and his party could call it quits now.

   However, because Alice and Ryuzaki have not yet determined their destination in Manchester, and the safety point provided by Chris is large enough, Alice and Ryuzaki decided to live with Liu Xing and his party during this time.

   Back at the hotel, Lu Tianya's three daughters had already returned to the hotel because they received a call.

   After explaining to Lu Tianya and the three girls, everyone packed up and headed to the safety point provided by Chris.

   Not long after departure, Liu Xing and others noticed that someone was following them.

   However, this was also expected by Liu Xing and others. After all, Shi Zixuan had already found Lu Tianya's three daughters, so the players of the enemy camp would definitely arrange manpower to follow them.

Of course, since someone had already expected someone to follow him, Liu Xing and the others were naturally ready to turn on the strobe lights that had been prepared in the car on the roof, and then stepped on the accelerator to accelerate. Start running a red light.

Soon, Liu Xing and his entourage got rid of the tracking vehicles behind, because those stalking vehicles did not dare to run a red light like Liu Xing and his entourage. Traffic police have begun to stand guard at the intersection.

   After getting rid of the tracking vehicle, Liu Xing and his group found a subway entrance to park. After notifying Chris to send someone to collect the car, Liu Xing and his group took the subway to a safe point.

  The safety point provided by Chris can be said to be hidden in the city, because this safety point is located in the most prosperous area of ​​Manchester - a high-end apartment building next to Albert Square.

And the design of this safety point is also very strange. On the surface, it is located on the first floor of this apartment building. It is a small apartment with one bedroom and one living room, but as long as you open the wardrobe in the bedroom, you can find an elevator leading to the basement. This basement is the real safe spot.

   Liu Xing and others did not use the key provided by Chris, but tried the key in the water ghost wallet, and sure enough. . . Not open.

   After all, an undercover agent disappeared with a key. Even if the Manchester police did not change the security point, they would at least change the door lock of the security point.

  So, Liu Xing and others still opened the door honestly, and then the first two who entered the room, Ishikawa Ling and Zhang Jingxu, suddenly froze in place, blocking the others from the door.

   Liu Xing raised his brows and looked inside through the gap, and saw an acquaintance sitting on the sofa in the living room eating melon seeds.

   And this acquaintance is Hu Li!
