Real Cthulhu Running Game

   Chapter 5 The Truth

The old seal is a very strange existence in the Cthulhu mythological system. In short, the old seal has a miraculous effect on most mythical creatures, because the old seal is actually equivalent to filth in the eyes of these mythical creatures, just like human grains The products of reincarnation are the same, but for most mythical creatures, especially those evil gods, there is no so-called goodwill and malice towards humans, just like the attitude of humans to ants, they are just casual, so many evil gods are Under normal circumstances, they would not attack humans with old seals, for fear of getting their hands dirty. . .

Therefore, the old seal is known as one of the three artifacts in the Cthulhu run game. It can save your life in many cases. Of course, some mythical creatures will not mind dirty hands in some cases. So don't expect the old seal to be effective against mythical creatures either.

   However, the old seal can also form a combo with another artifact of the three artifacts in the Cthulhu run game, but I will sell it here first, and I will talk about it when Liu Xing gets another artifact.

   "It seems that this amulet is a good thing." Liu Xing took out the amulet with the old seal and put it in his suit pocket for emergency.

   In the Cthulhu run game, as long as you can get the old seal, your chances of survival will be much higher,

   Liu Xing then read the text messages again and found no useful information, so he put away the phone.

Although he got an old seal, Liu Xing still didn't get much useful information for the side quests, which made Liu Xing sigh, but it was still early, and he was idle when he was idle, so Liu Xing took it seriously for the first time. Looked up this secret room.

This secret room is about 20 square meters. In the middle is the table where the four people are sitting around. Behind the million, there is a poster of Sailor Moon, on which you can see a lot of dark red blood, and Liu Xing from the mountains and rivers. The last photo seen on the phone is somewhat similar, so Liu Xing can judge that this secret room is one of the crime scenes of the massacre that year.

   In addition, behind the rootless grass, there is a small cabinet with an old-looking desk calendar on it.

   At this time, Liu Xing already had a bold guess in his heart. Now Liu Xing feels that he is getting closer and closer to the truth. He only needs to confirm two things before he can complete the task of the new house.

   Thinking of this, Liu Xing started his own actions.

   "It seems that there should be some clues in that cabinet, why don't we open it?" Liu Xing asked the other three.

   "There should be nothing in this cabinet." Rootless Grass frowned and looked at Liu Xing.

   Liu Xing grinned when he saw this situation, "How do you know if you don't look for it."

   After Liu Xing finished speaking, he stood up and walked slowly to the cabinet, and he could feel that the eyes of the other three were already on him.

"Why are you all looking at me, let's take a look together, what's in this cabinet?" Liu Xing looked at the three of them and said with a smile, while Shanhe and the others didn't say anything, just looked at Liu Xing silently. Let Liu Xing's speculation in his heart be affirmed again.

   Liu Xing walked to the cabinet, opened the cabinet effortlessly, and found that there was only one thing in it - the account book.

   Liu Xing sneered in his heart, this account book is exactly what he wanted to find most.

   The task of this new house is really simple.

   "Old Chinese doctor, bring the account book here, let's look at it together." At this time, Wugencao suddenly said, "I know this family very well, and I can verify the authenticity of this account book."

   "Oh." Liu Xing laughed, picked up the desk calendar and took a closer look, "Maybe I don't need to bother you."

  The time shown on the desk calendar—November 2000.

   Now, Liu Xin knows that all the clues have been connected, and the truth is at hand.

   "This side quest is really simple, it made me a little bloated." Liu Xing walked back with a smile and sat back to his seat.

   Liu Xing put the account booklet on the table, copied his hands, and said with a smile: "I don't need to open this account booklet now."

   As soon as Liu Xing said this, the expressions of Shanhe and Rootless Grass changed, and only Million still kept his head down.

   Liu Xing looked at their performance and made up his mind, it seems that the game is over.

   "I'm not targeting anyone, it's just that everyone here is not a living person." Liu Xing pushed the non-existent glasses again, and said with a certain tone.

  Shanhe heard that, he immediately slapped the table and yelled at Liu Xing angrily: "Who are you saying is not human, tell me again if you have the guts!"

The rootless grass on the side of    also stood up and stared fiercely at Liu Xing.

   And Liu Xing smiled indifferently and said: "It seems that I am right, you are the three ghosts, right?"

   After finishing speaking, Liu Xing looked at the million and said with some pity: "Sure enough, all the cute looking boys are boys."

  Million, who had been keeping his head down, raised his head after hearing the words and stared at Liu Xing with a pale face, while the mountains, rivers and rootless grass on both sides also looked at Liu Xing in surprise.

   "Looks like I'm right." Liu Xing picked up the account book, "This should be your account book, take it."

  The matter has come to this point, Wugencao can only helplessly smiled, sat down again, took the account book, and said calmly: "How did you know all this?"

   Liu Xing sat up straight and said with a smile: "Actually, from the very beginning, I felt something was wrong."

"When the game started, I was observing you, and I found that you all paid no attention to my observation. This is obviously not the reaction that normal people should have. After all, when faced with the undisguised observation of strangers, normal people or More or less there will be some reactions, and you don't."

"Secondly, your clothes are a little too strange, especially Shanhe, who are still indoors and wearing hats." Liu Xing pointed to Shanhe's baseball cap, "When you showed me the photos later, I was still thinking about it. , what's the point of you dressed like this, until I have a bold guess, you are dressed like this to cover up the scars when you died, such as the mountains and rivers, your head, you are the deceased in the second photo, right? ."

  Shanhe heard this, shook his head helplessly, and said, "So I'm exposed?"

   "No, I was just a little suspicious at the time." Liu Xing continued: "When I really started to turn my guesses into doubts, it was actually because Millions triggered side quests."

Liu Xing stood up and stretched his waist, "Generally speaking, no matter what game it is, the quest should be handed over to the player by the NPC, and the side quest was triggered by Wan Wan only saying one sentence at the time, which is obviously Something is not right, so here, I began to suspect that the identity of the million is not simple."

  Million raised his head at this time, the red necklace on his neck that Liu Xing thought was actually a red bloodstain with fine stitches on it.

"Then when Wugencao told me about the massacre that happened ten years ago, I found that you all had clues about the massacre, but I didn't, so I thought I didn't find it myself at first, so I Just found a talisman and a mobile phone." Liu Xing said and put the mobile phone on the table.

"This is the Nokia 5230, although I don't know when it was manufactured, but I used it when I was in high school, it was around 2010, so at first I thought my character was a down-to-earth office worker. , and still use this old-fashioned mobile phone." Liu Xing continued to play with the mobile phone.

"When I was about to put away my phone, I found that there was no exact time on the phone, nor did I mention any specific time in the text message. When I noticed this problem, I suddenly thought, this time, maybe It's an important piece of information."

Liu Xing put down his mobile phone and said to Shanhe: "I remembered one thing at that time. The mobile phone you showed me the photos was a smart phone. I didn't care at that time, but after I discovered the time. When I asked the question, I was thinking, what year is it now?"

  Shanhe smiled at Liu Xing, but did not speak.

"So, at that time, I was 80% sure that all three of you had problems!" Liu Xing said with certainty: "However, I still have two questions that have not been resolved, one is what year is it now? , the other is the gender of millions, whether it is male or female."

Liu Xing looked at the million, with a bit of inexplicable regret in his tone, "The clues you gave me at the beginning should be trying to mislead me into thinking that the family of three that was exterminated at that time was two men and one woman, but I still remember rootless. There is a saying that the murderer is the classmate of the youngest son of the family. The youngest son, as the name suggests, should have an eldest son, so the family of three should be all male, so I think the one in the third photo is a girl The person is actually a man."

  Rootless Grass shook his head and sighed: "It seems that this is my fault."

   Liu Xing stood up and walked to the cabinet again.

   "Finally, when I saw this cabinet, I knew that I was able to confirm my thoughts." Liu Xinglai picked up the desk calendar and waved at the three million people.

"The time on the desk calendar is 2000, so the time of the massacre can be determined." Liu Xing sat back in place with the desk calendar, "Shanhe said that this massacre happened ten years ago, so now It should be 2010, and Shanhe’s smartphones obviously do not belong to this era.”

The Cthulhu running group game is all about authenticity, so there are detailed regulations for the items that can appear in each era, so this smartphone of Shanhe is theoretically impossible to appear in 2010, unless Shanhe is From some great hacker race.

"So my first question was solved satisfactorily." Liu Xing looked at the household registration book in Wugencao's hand, and continued: "Then when I got the household registration booklet, your performance has already told me, I The second question is also resolved."

  Shanhe suddenly applauded, "Good reasoning, you've passed the test, old Chinese doctor."

  ps: Thank you for your recommendation votes.
