Real Cthulhu Running Game

  Chapter 514 The Shining Focal Trioctahedron

   "Secret research?!" Liu Xing looked at Sirius in surprise.

Sirius nodded and said seriously: "I believe Mr. Liu Xing, you already know that our ancient family was the first mythical creature race to reach the earth. There was nothing on the earth at that time, so our ancient family was one We had a very good life on earth at the beginning, but unfortunately the good times did not last long, and soon there was a big fight on earth. A large number of mythical creature races and the old rulers came to the earth. At that time, our ancient family was very surprised. Because we thought that a planet like Earth, although it had a lot of resources, was not worthy of being scrambled by so many mythical creature races with the Old Ones, we realized that there might be something on Earth that we didn't discover."

"So, as the chief researcher of the ancient clan on earth, I led an elite force to explore the earth, and soon found something wrong under the fisherman's village, because our ancient clan has our own A set of colonization rules. When we come to a new planet to colonize, our ancients will use a detection instrument to scan the entire planet to determine the planet’s terrain and resources. The situation is completely different, so I'm sure there must be something special under the fisherman's village."

"The Fisherman's Village was still a high mountain at that time, so I decided to build a temporary military base there as a cover, and then began to excavate the interior of the mountain. While building the military base, I explored the interior of the mountain. Soon We have a certain harvest - a wordless stone tablet. According to our investigation, the specific material of this wordless stone tablet is not recorded in the database of our ancient family, and this wordless stone tablet has a very long time to form. It may be the birthplace of the universe... The most important thing is that this wordless stone tablet is not without lettering, but the original lettering on this wordless stone tablet is hidden by some mysterious force, we have tried our best to There is no way to reappear the words on the wordless stele."

"So, we can only put this wordless stone tablet aside temporarily, but the appearance of this wordless stone tablet also makes us more convinced that there are more secrets hidden in that mountain. The formation of the word stone tablet is even older than the formation of the earth, so this wordless stone tablet should be placed there by a powerful existence; so, I transferred a group of people from other places to work on it. After the excavation work, we soon found a batch of wordless steles. The condition of these wordless steles is the same as the first wordless stele. The size and thickness between them are almost the same. No, it should be said that they are exactly the same, because The most advanced detection instruments of our ancient family were unable to detect the difference between these wordless steles."

"At the time, I thought that these wordless steles were likely to record the deeds of a powerful existence in the universe, but for some reason, these wordless steles were abandoned and thrown on the earth, and were taken by that powerful The existence hides the original inscription on the wordless stele, because there may also be a spell on the wordless stele for how to summon this powerful being. The reason why I think so is because we ancients once had a relationship with a myth who was good at using magic. The biological races communicate, so I heard the priest of the mythical biological race say that some powerful beings in the universe can be summoned through the spells they leave behind, and as long as a certain price is paid, they can be summoned from those powerful beings. Get some benefits in your hands.”

"Of course, some powerful beings are unwilling to help, so they will cover up some of their whereabouts, just like these wordless steles, so we plan to crack the secrets on these wordless steles, after all we were The ancient clan is already in a tight battle and is in a state of complete defeat. In addition, it is impossible to get in touch with the compatriots in the universe and apply for reinforcements, so the Archon and I both feel that if we want to turn defeat into victory on Earth, we must get that powerful existence. help."

"Unfortunately, we have only just started to study those wordless steles, and the deep diver family discovered our military base. After repelling a small wave of deep diver soldiers, I originally planned to remove those wordless steles. They all moved back to the capital of our ancient clan on earth at that time, but at this time the Hugoss rebellion appeared. Although the Hugoss' rebellion was quickly suppressed, because the capital was severely damaged, Soon the important facilities were turned into ruins, so the consul decided to temporarily close the capital for restoration work, so I could only keep those inscriptions in the military base."

"However, the deep diver family made a comeback soon, and they also recruited their ally, the star family to help. I believe that Mr. Liu Xing, you also know the power of the star family, so the soldiers of the deep diver family are under the cover of the star family. It is about to invade the military base, and our ancient family is not good at melee and street fighting, not to mention that the people who stayed in the military base were basically researchers and ordinary clerks, so they were naturally beaten by the deep diver family. I was losing every step of the way, but I was almost desperate at the time, and suddenly a mysterious force directly killed those star family members, and the freed army finally returned to the military base and wiped out those deep diver soldiers."

"At that time, I thought that the mysterious power should come from the masters of those wordless steles, and it might even be the magic that comes with those wordless steles, because as one of the best researchers in the ancient family, I have seen a lot of magical things. Things, such items that can automatically counterattack are actually very common, but the strength of the counterattack is different, so I value these wordless stone tablets more and more, but I also know that the deep diver family and the star family are likely to come again. Attack, so I decided to evacuate with those wordless steles for the second time, and this time even if I couldn't return to the capital directly, I would go to other big cities to place these wordless steles. As a result, when I was about to take these wordless steles out Now, when we are within the confines of that island in Fisherman's Village, we feel a strange force preventing us from doing so."

"Of course, at the beginning we wanted to forcibly take away these wordless steles, but as long as these wordless steles cross the border as a whole, a black hole with a diameter of ten meters will appear at the center, absorbing everything within the range. Enter it, and then these wordless steles will return to the place where we excavated it. As for the other things that were sucked into the black hole, no one knows where they went, so because the wordless steles cannot be moved away, I also We can only choose to settle for the next best thing, and fake the military base as if it has fallen. After all, when we built this kind of military base, we made preparations in advance and created a mezzanine between the military base and the excavation site. cut off."

"In the beginning, we did deceive the new group of deep diver soldiers and star families who came to attack, making them think that the military base had been captured by other mythical creature races, so those deep diver soldiers After a hasty investigation, I followed the star family to the new battlefield, and then I led the rest of the staff to continue to study the wordless steles and conduct further excavations, and this time we have a new one. Discovery - a very strange looking egg-shaped small box, although this small box was formed much later than those wordless steles, but this small box was still formed before the appearance of the earth."

"After a short period of research, we found that this small box seems to contain some kind of powerful force, so I decided to temporarily give up the research on those wordless steles and concentrate the remaining scientific research force in this small box. , but at this time, there may be other races of mythical creatures fighting outside, and then a certain race of mythical creatures used some kind of high-tech weapon to directly cut off the power supply of our underground research facility. As a result, at this time , I heard screams from the laboratory, and the roar of some unknown monster, I realized that something was wrong, I opened the box of souls, and then I died suddenly..."

Liu Xing frowned. If Sirius didn't lie this time, then it seems that the big fight on Earth was indeed a good thing done by the perpetrator Nyarlathotep, because Sirius was "before he died" The egg-shaped small box unearthed is likely to be the legendary "shining tri-octahedron".

In the setting of the Cthulhu running group game, the shining prescription trioctahedron is a necessary prop for summoning Nyarlathotep, the incarnation of the night devil, because the night devil is sealed in this shining prescription three eight In the face of the body, and when the shining tri-octahedron is in the dark, the night devil will automatically appear.

However, as one of the many incarnations of Nyarlathotep, the Night Demon should be considered the worst in a sense, because the weakness of the Night Demon is very obvious, that is, it is very afraid of light, even if it is very weak. The light can also make the Night Demon be sealed again by the shining tri-octahedron.

   So the Night Demon can only act in complete darkness, so players don't need to be too desperate when encountering the Night Demon, because as long as they can run to a place with light, they can get rid of the Night Demon's pursuit. . . Of course, as the incarnation of Nyarlathotep, the Night Demon is also very strong in combat. Many times players will be instantly killed by the Night Demon when they see the first battle round of the Night Demon. . .

   Back to business.

Since Sirius and the others have dug up the shining trioctahedron, it means that Nyarlathotep can't escape the relationship. After all, in the ancient times, the shining trioctahedron should have been in Nyarlathotep. on hand.

Therefore, those wordless steles should also have something to do with Nyarlathotep, but Liu Xing really can't remember what the wordless steles will record, because Liu Xing remembers that in Cthulhu Myth and Cthulhu Run In the settings of the group game, it seems that the existence of these wordless steles is not mentioned.

Liu Xing touched his chin and said, "So that's the case, if it's what Sirius said, then I can understand why you didn't tell me the truth at the beginning, after all, the news is really explosive. Yes, but then again, Sirius, you should be able to perceive the situation outside the box of souls."

Sirius nodded and said with a somewhat embarrassed smile: "Indeed, I can observe the outside world through the Soul Box, because I have transformed it myself, or added some auxiliary functions to this Soul Box, such as automatic Send out a distress signal, detect the situation near the Soul Box, and receive some feedback from the outside world, so I know Liu Xing, you have learned the situation of the Soul Box from Crisiano."

Liu Xing looked at Sirius with a playful look on his face, and then said: "If I didn't meet Crisiano this time, I'm afraid Sirius, you still don't want to tell me the truth, but I also want to ask Sirius a question. - Do you think Crisiano is telling the truth?"

  Although Crisiano said it righteously, Liu Xing was still a little worried that Crisiano had told a lie, after all, it was just like what Chris said-not my race, its heart must be different.

Sirius nodded and said: "I did hear about Crisiano before, but because I was no longer in the capital, I didn't really see Crisiano, but about Crisiano Only the senior members of the ancients who were on the earth at the time knew about the matter, so we can rule out the possibility of Crisiano being impersonated, and Crisiano has indeed been expelled from the ancients, but Crisiano's So he will be expelled from the ancient family, because Crisiano's mentality has become a little inflated after gaining powerful power."

"So, Crisiano made a request to the consul - let him become a general, responsible for managing all the ancient armies on the earth, such a request is impossible for the consul to agree to anyway, but Chris Arno's power is something that the consul can't give up, so the consul appointed Crisiano as a senior officer, which translates to your human rank as a major general. Unfortunately, Crisiano is still not satisfied, and he begins to think about it. He wanted to be the king himself, so his power was sealed and he was imprisoned."

   Liu Xing raised his brows, but he didn't expect Crisiano to want to be king by himself.

   Of course, now Liu Xing is quite willing to believe Sirius's statement. After all, most mythical creatures also have emotions and desires, and it is inevitable that a low-level clerk like Crisiano will have a strong mentality after gaining powerful power.
