Real Cthulhu Running Game

   Chapter 715 Poisoning

   "By the way, how did you feel when you got rid of those goblins?" Liu Xing couldn't help asking.

In the end, it didn't matter if Liu Xing didn't ask, Yin En's face turned bad when he asked, "How should I say, although I used a gun to kill a mad believer in the game before, but you also know that guns give people The impact is definitely not as strong as that of a cold weapon like Fang Tian Hua Ji, so I almost vomited it just now, after all, goblins are also humanoid creatures..."

After Liu Xing was silent for a moment, he slowly said: "If we will encounter human enemies in the future, for example, if we determine that Shen Dazhuang or Shen Aotian has a secret relationship with the goblins later, then we are very likely Nine will fight them, and they should have other Bahamut believers around them."

   After being silent for a long time, Yin En shook his head and said, "Can we stop talking about this issue?"

   Liu Xing nodded and did not speak.

Now in Liu Xing's view, the real difficulty of this mod is the player's mentality, because this mod has just started, and it has brought huge psychological pressure to all players. First of all, the living environment in this mod is very important to It is a bit unacceptable for players born in modern society. The whole town is full of various filth and stench, and the most important thing is that there is no toilet paper. There is not even a toilet in the inn. !

That's right, when Liu Xing woke up last night and wanted to go to the toilet, he just couldn't find a toilet in the inn, and then Liu Xing remembered that there was indeed no concept of "toilet" in medieval Europe, or that the whole house was a big toilet. .

   In addition, Liu Xing also found that all NPCs in this mod do not take a bath or wash their hair, the reason is still because the background setting of this mod refers to medieval Europe. . .

   All of this made Liu Xing feel a hint of despair, especially when Liu Xing thought that he would have to stay in this mod for a long time.

   Then comes the battle in this mod.

According to Liu Xing's understanding of Dragon Quest games, there is definitely no shortage of humanoid and human enemies in these games, so each battle is a huge spiritual shock for players. After all, players are in other modules. Compared with those mythical creatures, it is the five scumbags of war, and only the part of being abused, plus most of them can't have relevant experience in the real world, so when players deal with a humanoid monster and a human enemy with their own hands, that kind of The feeling is really indescribable, especially the total cold weapon. . .

   The most important thing is that this kind of battle will definitely not be less.

   Therefore, Liu Xing doubts that when he and his party clear this mod, there may be serious mental problems.

   Now Liu Xing has started to think about a problem, that is, after he clears this module, should he go to a psychologist to have a look. . .

At this moment, Yin En suddenly said: "Liu Xing, I think after a few battles, even if our character cards can't lose the san value, we will enter a temporary state of madness, especially in the face of human enemies. Seriously, I would rather use a gun to kill a hundred human NPCs than use Fang Tianhuaji to cut two by one move."

   Me too.

   Liu Xing said silently in his heart.

   But Liu Xing is also very clear that now Yin En has a psychological problem.

  Because Liu Xing only took psychology courses in college, Liu Xing doesn't know how to treat Yin En's psychological problems now.

So Liu Xing could only pat Yin En on the shoulder and said, "Don't think too much, after all, we are a Cthulhu running group game, there shouldn't be so many fighting opportunities, and these battles should be OK. Avoided."

  Yin En nodded reluctantly, and said with a wry smile: "I hope so, anyway, I don't want to become a lunatic in the real world, let's discuss this with Zhang Wenbing and the others later."

   Just then, there was a knock on the door, "Liu Xing, it's time for us to go to the banquet."

   Ten minutes later, Liu Xing and others came to the Shen family mansion.

   As the largest family in the blacksmith village, the Shen family mansion naturally occupies the center of the blacksmith village, next to a blacksmith shop.

   And to the right of the Shen family's mansion, is the guardhouse of the Blacksmith Village.

  Because the actual manager of the blacksmith village is Shen Kuanglong, the empire did not divide the blacksmith village to the surrounding lords, so only one guardhouse was set up in the blacksmith village for the guards to live and work.

   Of course, Zhang Wenbing found out that the guards of the Blacksmith Village would not obey Shen Kuanglong.

   So although Shen Kuanglong actually controlled the Blacksmith Village, there were not many things Shen Kuanglong could do.

   However, when Liu Xing and others entered the Shen family mansion under the leadership of Shen Aotian, Shen Kuanglong did not come to greet him, not even Shen Dazhuang.

   This made Shen Aotian look a little embarrassed. After all, his family invited Liu Xing and others to come to the banquet, but no one came to greet the guests now.

"Uh, maybe it's because my father and the others have something to do right now, so they didn't come to greet the brave adults just now." Shen Aotian said, "Then let's go to the living room first, I believe my father and the others should be waiting for you in the living room. The arrival of the brave man."

   As Shen Aotian said, he took Liu Xing and others to the living room.

   Walking halfway, Zhang Jingxu couldn't help but ask, "Shen Aotian, how many people are in your family now?"

Shen Aotian replied immediately: "After our Shen family developed in the blacksmith village, many relatives I didn't know came to join us, so our Shen family alone has more than 50 people, so we also hired more than 30 servants. people to handle all kinds of things.”

   "So, why haven't we met anyone else yet?" Zhang Jingxu asked again.

   Shen Aotian's face changed, he stopped and said, "Yes, it is logically impossible for us to walk for so long without encountering other people!"

   Shen Aotian quickened his pace after speaking.

   Liu Xing and the others glanced at each other, and then followed in the footsteps of Shen Aotian.

   Soon, Liu Xing and others followed Shen Aotian into the living room.

   Then in the living room, Shen Kuanglong, who had a relationship with Liu Xing and others this morning, and several others were collapsed in the living room.

  Shen Aotian immediately supported Shen Kuanglong, only to find that Shen Kuanglong had died of blood from seven orifices.

   The same is true for others, and among them is Shen Aotian's mother. . .

   Seeing this situation, Shen Aotian stood motionless as if struck by lightning.

   Liu Xing frowned and said in a low voice, "It seems that Shen Kuanglong and the others all died of poisoning."

At this time, Zhang Wenbing stepped forward and touched Shen Kuanglong's body and said, "Shen Kuanglong's body still has body temperature, it seems that he died of poisoning not long ago, and it seems that he drank it on the table. Those drinks were poisoned."

   There are several glasses of wine on the table in the living room, and it can be seen at a glance that these glasses of wine have been drunk.

   Ignoring Shen Aotian for a while, Liu Xing and others began to check the situation in the living room.

Judging from the state of the deceased falling to the ground, the poison in them should be all potent poisons. Shen Kuanglong and others were killed soon after the attack, so the deceased did not knock over the wine glasses, tables and chairs, and kept them on site. is pretty good.

   But there was nothing of note in the living room other than those wine glasses that might have been poisoned.

   Liu Xing sighed and said, "It seems that the poisoner is very confident and has no other preparations at all."

Ding Kun, who was holding a half-full wine bottle in his hand, nodded and said, "Judging from the current situation, the poisoner should be very familiar with the Shen family, and his goal is very clear, only in this bottle of wine. Poisoned inside."

   "Oh, Ding Kun, why are you so confident that the poisoner only poisoned the bottle in your hand?" Zhang Jingxu asked curiously.

Because there are several wine bottles in the living room, but other wine bottles are basically full, but in Liu Xing's view, the wine in these wine bottles are all the same, and it is impossible to see whether other wine bottles have been emptied. poison.

Ding Kun laughed, shook the wine bottle in his hand and said, "You are far apart now, so you can't see some white powder on the bottle's mouth and on the bottle. If there is no accident, these white powders should be Poison is already there, so judging from the location of these poison residues, the poisoner should have temporarily decided to poison at the scene, so maybe because of nervousness and other reasons, all the poison was not poured into the wine.”

   Liu Xing and others suddenly realized.

  If the poisoner did not poison on the spot, then the poisoner who had sufficient preparation time would definitely not leave traces of poisoning on the wine bottle, which might arouse the attention and vigilance of Shen Kuanglong and others.

At this time, Ding Kun stood in the center of the living room holding a wine bottle, facing the fallen corpse and said: "Judging from the orientation of these corpses, the poisoner should have been standing in front of them, and for some reason The poisoner poured wine for the deceased, and then used some excuse to make the deceased take a sip of wine, and then the deceased died of poison, and the poisoner retreated calmly."

   Liu Xing and others nodded, all felt that Ding Kun's speculation was very correct.

   At this time, Shen Aotian had come back to his senses and said blankly, "Then who actually poisoned my family?!"

Ding Kun shook his head and said, "From the current situation, I can only speculate that the poisoner should have a good relationship with the deceased, and he is still the kind of person with a certain identity, otherwise he will have no chance. Toast to the dead, and enter and exit the Shen family mansion calmly without being suspected by others."

At this time, Zhang Wenbing suddenly continued: "If there is no accident, the poisoner should also be the Shen family, and this person also has a certain status in the Shen family, because in order to prevent others from discovering what he did, or discovering it in advance These dead, so he should have purposely ordered the others to stay out of the living room for a while, so we didn't meet anyone else along the way."

   Having said that, a name appeared in the minds of Liu Xing and others - Shen Dazhuang!

   It stands to reason that Shen Dazhuang, as an important person in the Shen family, should be in this living room at this time, but now Shen Dazhuang is nowhere to be seen.

Moreover, Shen Dazhuang also fits the characteristics of a poisoner, because his status in the Shen family should be second only to Shen Kuanglong, so he is fully qualified to order other people in the Shen family mansion to avoid the living room for the time being, and then he can also use "I can't be too busy with work. Attending a banquet" and other excuses to make a toast to Shen Kuanglong and others.

   But why did Shen Dazhuang kill his family at this time?

  If Shen Dazhuang was the mastermind behind all this, then his target of poisoning should be his own group of people, because doing so would be more cost-effective. After all, just poisoning Shen Kuanglong and others would do more harm than good to Shen Dazhuang.

   As for Shen Dazhuang's excuse to frame his group, this is not very likely in Liu Xing's view, because as long as people with normal IQs know that their group has no reason to poison Shen Kuanglong and others.

  Unless Shen Dazhuang has controlled all the guards in the Blacksmith Village!

   At this moment, several men in leather armor walked into the living room talking and laughing.

   Then, after seeing the corpses of Liu Xing and the others, the men immediately pulled out the weapons around their waists.

   "Don't be impulsive, Mr. Rodriguez, my parents were poisoned and they have nothing to do with the brave adults." Shen Aotian said immediately.

   At this time, Zhang Wenbing whispered to Liu Xing and others: "That Rodriguez is the head of the guards of the blacksmith village."

  Rodriguez put away his weapon after seeing the appearance of Shen Kuanglong and others clearly, "Shen Aotian, what the **** is going on?"

   Shen Aotian sighed and told all the guesses of Ding Kun and Zhang Wenbing.

After being silent for a moment, Rodriguez said, "Could it be that the poisoner is Shen Dazhuang? He just came to invite us to this banquet, and then let us come first on the pretext that there is a blacksmith's shop."

  Zhang Jingxu nodded and said seriously: "In this way, Shen Dazhuang is the most suspicious now, so Mr. Rodriguez, please bring someone to protect the scene first, let's go to a blacksmith shop to arrest Shen Dazhuang!"

Rodriguez thought for a while, shook his head and said, "It's not that I don't believe you guys, it's just that the current situation is a bit special, so I think we'll still have half of our staff to stay here to protect the scene, and the other half to go there. Arrest Shen Dazhuang."

  Double-line plot?

After    Liu Xing and others looked at each other, Zhang Jingxu nodded and agreed to Rodriguez's request.

   Then, Zhang Jingxu decided to let Yin En and Ding Kun stay behind the Shen family mansion, and took Liu Xing, Zhang Wenbing and Rodriguez to arrest Shen Dazhuang.

   As a result, Liu Xing and his party had just walked to the door of Youjian's blacksmith shop when they heard from the gatekeeper that Shen Dazhuang had not returned.

   Because the gatekeeper of a blacksmith shop is Rodriguez's subordinate, Rodriguez immediately took Liu Xing and others to the nearest city gate.
