Real Cthulhu Running Game

   Chapter 761 The Color of the First Star

   At this time, Yin En also came to the blacksmith shop, "I have searched the room, but I haven't found any useful clues."

   Liu Xing nodded, pointed to the footprints on the ground and said, "Yin En, whose footprints do you think these are?"

   Yin En frowned, thought for a moment and said, "Liu Qindong?"

   "Yes, I also think this should be the footprint left by Liu Qindong, because during this time, only Liu Qindong can enter here wearing men's sneakers." Liu Xing said with a sigh.

  Yin En patted Liu Xing on the shoulder and said, "Maybe this is Yang Xuanzhu who asked Liu Qindong to come here to get things? Or maybe Yang Xuanzhu likes to wear men's sneakers?"

Liu Xing rolled his eyes at Yin En and said helplessly: "Yin En, don't talk nonsense here to comfort me. If it's really like what you said, then Liu Qindong would definitely bring it up to me at that time, so I doubt it now. Only Liu Qindong is a follower of the Snake Man, and Yang Xuanzhu's family are the victims."

  Yoon En shrugged and said with a smile, "Well, so do I."

   Liu Xing also smiled and walked to the front of the cabinet.

  The height of this somewhat dilapidated cabinet is about two meters, which looks similar to a common wardrobe, but this cabinet is a bit out of place when it appears in a blacksmith shop.

   As for the inner space of the cabinet, there is nothing else but a wooden stick for hanging clothes.

   This really is a wardrobe.

Liu Xing looked at the interior of the blacksmith shop again, and found that there were no other items in the blacksmith shop except for the wardrobe. Therefore, the blacksmith shop was not converted into a utility room because it was abandoned. Therefore, this wardrobe will be placed here.

   That is to say, this wardrobe was specially placed in the blacksmith shop by Yang Xuanzhu's family. As for why the Yang Xuanzhu family did this, it should be related to what was originally in the cabinet.

   Liu Xing turned on the phone to illuminate the interior of the wardrobe, and found a circular mark on the bottom of the wardrobe, surrounded by dust.

   This mark is the size of a fist.

   Liu Xing frowned, not sure what it was for a while.

   A small bottle?

   It seems that we have to see the real thing before we can determine what it is.

   Liu Xing told Yin En about his findings.

   "I think this should be a bottle and jar. It may contain some kind of material needed by the snake man, so Liu Qindong will come to steal this small bottle." Yin En guessed.

   Just then, a whistle sounded from the right.

   Liu Xing and Yin En immediately came to the house on the right.

   After everyone had arrived, Zhang Jingxu, who was whistling, said, "You all come and see this, this is what I just found in the room."

   Liu Xing followed Zhang Jingxu's line of sight and found that what Zhang Jingxu found was an old diary.

   Because there is a red seal on the cover of this diary - Yuanhong Town Primary School, Prize, 1970.

   It seems that this should be Yang Xuanzhu's father's diary.

   Zhang Jingxu opened the diary and continued: "I thought it was just an ordinary diary, but I soon discovered that this diary recorded many useful clues for us, such as this page."

   Liu Xing took a closer look and found that the diary on this page was indeed a bit strange.

To put it simply, Yang Xuanzhu's father came home to do his homework after school, and suddenly heard some strange noises from the blacksmith shop. At this time, Yang Xuanzhu's grandparents went shopping in the town and hadn't come back, so Yang Xuanzhu's father I thought it was a thief coming to steal something, but because Yang Xuanzhu's father was still a child at this time, Yang Xuanzhu's father could only hide on the side, and wanted to see the thief's appearance and the direction of his departure, then he could put these The news told his parents that they should go to the police to catch the thief.

   As a result, Yang Xuanzhu's father watched the blacksmith shop for a few minutes, and found that the contents of the blacksmith shop suddenly disappeared, and it didn't take long for Yang Xuanzhu's father to faint suddenly, and it had been an hour before he woke up again.

   After Yang Xuanzhu's grandparents returned home, Yang Xuanzhu's father explained what had just happened. As a result, Yang Xuanzhu's grandfather's expression changed greatly and he ran into the blacksmith shop, but soon came out with a relaxed expression.

At the end of the diary, Yang Xuanzhu's father also mentioned the wardrobe, saying that the wardrobe had been waiting in the blacksmith's shop a long time ago, but his father never let him open the wardrobe, and even locked it on purpose, so Yang Xuanzhu's father was very curious about this, but he didn't dare to take the risk to open the wardrobe.

   Seeing this, Liu Xing told what he found in the blacksmith shop.

"If you look at it this way, the things in the wardrobe may be very important to the snake people in Yingzui Mountain. These snake people have tried to steal this thing many years ago, but for various reasons Failed to do so, as for Yang Xuanzhu's grandfather, it may be because of this thing that he never left Tailai Village, it seems that this thing is not suitable for long-distance travel." Ding Kun analyzed.

Zhang Wenbing, who was beside him, nodded and said, "In that case, Yang Xuanzhu's grandfather's identity is not simple. How can ordinary people hide such important things at home, and also fight wits with snake people... But Having said that, Liu Xing, your friend is not easy."

   Liu Xing sighed and said firmly: "Yeah, so I have to have a good chat with him when I look back."

At this time, Zhang Jingxu opened a new page, "I think it's more convenient for me to read the content to you directly, it's a little too troublesome for a group of people to gather together to read; the content of the diary on this page is similar to the previous page, basically It was Yang Xuanzhu's father who thought that his house was often visited by thieves, but he never lost anything in the house, so Yang Xuanzhu's father thought it was very strange, so he made some simple traps and put them around to see if he could catch them. The thief, Yang Xuanzhu's father found out that the trap was activated that day, but Yang Xuanzhu's father only found a scale next to the trap. This scale was much bigger than a fish scale, and the texture was very hard. He couldn't make it with a kitchen knife. scratches."

   "It really is a snake man." Yoon En couldn't help saying.

Zhang Jingxu nodded and continued: "As a result, Yang Xuanzhu's grandfather found the scale and immediately confiscated the scale, and also warned Yang Xuanzhu's father not to set traps near the house to avoid unnecessary trouble. , and then Yang Xuanzhu's father was taken to and from school in those days. It seems that Yang Xuanzhu's grandfather is afraid that those snake people will retaliate, but it can be seen that Yang Xuanzhu's grandfather is indeed capable, otherwise he would not dare to come forward to protect himself. His son, after all, he should know the ability of the snake man, if he is just an ordinary person, he is giving away the head by doing so."

   "So do you Huaxia Daomen have any impression of Yang Xuanzhu's grandfather?" Yin En asked.

Zhang Jingxu shook his head and said helplessly: "We went to investigate the identity of Grandpa Yang Xuanzhu at the beginning, and only found out that Grandpa Yang Xuanzhu may be using a fake identity, because it is not listed in the various official lists of going up and down the mountain. There is no grandfather of Yang Xuanzhu, but there is no information about him in the list of Huaxia Daomen, so Brother Zhang and I both thought he was a mad believer of snake people, but now it seems that we were wrong."

At this time, Zhang Wenbing shook his mobile phone and said, "I originally planned to call an acquaintance and then check the identity of Grandpa Yang Xuanzhu, but found that the current mobile phone signal has been directly reset to zero, and even the emergency call for help. It seems that the signal from Tailai Village has been cut off by the snake people."

   Liu Xing just wanted to say if he should leave Tailai Village to make a phone call, but he swallowed the words directly.

   This feeling is quite amazing. . .

   "By the way, Zhang Jingxu, does this diary mention that Yang Xuanzhu's father is the biological son of Yang Xuanzhu's grandfather?" Ding Kun asked.

Zhang Jingxu nodded, flipped through the diary and said, "Yes, I remember a page of the diary saying that Yang Xuanzhu's father was laughed at by his classmates, so he went to Yang Xuanzhu's grandfather to ask this question, but Yang Xuanzhu's grandfather said that he was actually His own son, but because Yang Xuanzhu's grandparents met and fell in love with each other when they went to the countryside, so Yang Xuanzhu's grandma, who unexpectedly had a child during that special period, could only be sent by Yang Xuanzhu's grandfather to other places to avoid the limelight."

"Tsk tsk tsk, I didn't expect Yang Xuanzhu's grandfather to be a scumbag. His lover gave birth to a child, and he found a woman in Tailai Village to marry... Wait a minute, Yang Xuanzhu said that. Grandpa's wife should not be killed by him, because from the current situation, Yang Xuanzhu's grandfather should not be that kind of person." Yin En said with a frown.

Zhang Jingxu nodded again and said seriously: "I thought so too, so I deliberately flipped through this diary and found that Yang Xuanzhu's father also asked this question, and Yang Xuanzhu's grandfather answered this way at that time - Yang Xuanzhu back then His grandfather and his first wife were just fake marriages, because the woman was already dead at that time, but due to some special reasons, the woman had to give the old house we were in to Yang Xuanzhu's grandfather, so In order to be justifiable, Yang Xuanzhu's grandfather can only marry this woman as his wife."

"That means, Yang Xuanzhu's grandfather should have taken over the responsibility of guarding that thing from that woman?" Liu Xing said, "It seems that that thing has been in Tailai Village for a long time, and those snakes The reason why people flee to Yingzui Mountain is probably because of this thing."

   So, what the heck is this?

   At this moment, Liu Xing smelled another smell of ozone, and this time the smell was stronger than last time.

   Is the color of the stars coming? !

   Liu Xing and the others glanced at each other, then left the room without hesitation and returned to the sunlight.

   And at this moment, a group of snake people rushed out from the nearby woods.

  The height of these snake people is only about one meter five, but their bodies are very rickety, so Liu Xing estimates that their body length should be close to three meters, so these snake people look very strange.

Although these snake people are still wearing cloaks, Liu Xing can see that the faces of these snake people are very old, and their exposed scales have many traces of dry cracks. In addition, they move faster than Liu Xing. Star imagined much slower.

   It seems that these snake people should have also absorbed their vitality by the color of stars.

   Liu Xing and others immediately took out their pistols and aimed them at the snake men. Although these snake men only held a wooden staff, Liu Xing and others knew that these snake men were not melee arms.

   Just when Liu Xing was about to shoot, he suddenly discovered a problem, that is, the kp order has not yet announced that his group has entered the battle round.

  According to the battle rules of the Cthulhu running group game hall, when those snake people entered the sight of Liu Xing and others, the kp order should announce the start of the battle round.

   Unless these snake people are not hostile to their group.

so. . .

   Liu Xing immediately looked up at the sky and found that the color of the stars was flying from not far away!

   Just like the setting of Xingzhicai, Liu Xing could not think of any adjectives for the color of Xingzhicai, because it is a color that Liu Xing has never seen before, a color that makes Liu Xing feel that he will be sucked into it at any time.

   At this moment, the kp order finally appeared, "Because all players have seen the true body of Xingzhi Cai, and you have already received the influence of Xingzhi Cai, so this time you will directly lose a certain san value according to your own situation."

   "Liu Xing, you will lose 1d2 of san."

   Liu Xing, 1d2=1

   Fortunately, it is the color of the stars.

Although the star color is a very scary mythical creature to the player, the player will only lose a small amount of san when they first see the star color - success will not lose san points, failure will lose 1d4 san value.

   So the color of the stars may be the existence of all the mythical creatures that allows players to lose the least san when they first see it (I think it should be, if you have any objections, please leave a message).

As for the first time I saw Xingzhicai, the reason why the san value dropped so much, Liu Xing reckoned that this is because Xingzhicai has no entity, and it looks like a continuous flow of color. From the appearance, there is no deterrent at all, so Xingzhicai For modern ordinary people, the first impression is CG or holographic projection.

   However, when the player sees the color of the stars for the first time, they will also make a san score check, and this san score check will lose 1 san score if they succeed, and lose 1d8 san score if they fail.

   So in general, the san value that Star Color makes players lose is not too small.

   At this time, the snake people also discovered the color of the stars, so they immediately fled in the other direction.

  Fortunately, Xingzhi Cai is still chasing those snake people.
