Real Cthulhu Running Game

   Chapter 768 Clan Elder

   "Peach Blossom Spring" describes an isolated village where the villagers migrated in hundreds of years ago, and have not had any contact with the outside world for so many years.

If such a village is placed in the world view of the Cthulhu running group game, there will be a lot of room for modders to play. There are several "Peach Blossom Land" mods that Liu Xing has seen in the real world. Piece.

For example, this village was actually established by a master of Taoism (Taoist/Mage/Monk) who created a complete ecological system in a huge cave, and also recorded the rise and fall of the sun, moon and stars. It was also simulated, and then the expert died for some reason (missing/leaving/retreating), leaving only a certain prop to maintain the existence of this paradise, and the arrival of the player and his party caused the prop to be damaged. , so the player and his party need to find a way to repair this prop.

   Another example is that this Xanadu is actually a huge illusion. The player and his party must realize this within a certain period of time and find a way to leave this illusion, otherwise they will be assimilated or killed by this illusion.

   These two are relatively mild modules, and you only need to complete the decryption to clear the level.

  However, an article like "Peach Blossom Spring" that makes people think and fear after reading it, how can it be gentle after being transformed into a mod of the Cthulhu running game?

From the perspective of conspiracy theory, a village that has been isolated from the world for hundreds of years, according to the ancient standard of getting married and having children at the age of eleven or twelve, the villagers in it have reproduced for dozens of generations, and these dozens of generations The first one or two bags were not inbreeding, so by the time of Jin Taiyuan, these villagers were already plagued by various genetic diseases, and the deformity rate was absolutely frighteningly high, but the fisherman did not mention this.

   So what does this mean?

   Those villagers in the village are definitely not human.

   Now all kinds of mythical creatures can be added, and players can be chased and killed by a group of mythical creatures.

Of course, in addition to this kind of simple and rude mods that do not agree with the exile of mythical creatures, there are also some mods that go "for the tiger" type, making the villagers of the paradise become the ghosts of a mythical creature, attracting it Come for more food.

But having said that, when Liu Xing saw the introduction in his character card, he knew that in this module, the villagers of Xanadu are likely to be hybrids of mythical creatures, and the villagers of the new generation do not know their own real identity.

   It seems that this mod is quite satisfactory, no wonder the difficulty is not high.

At this moment, a pleasant female voice suddenly sounded, "Hello, players, I am the kp El of this special mod, and I am very happy to meet you in this special mod, so please allow me to meet you in this special mod. Here are some requirements for this special mod. First of all, because the official player of this special mod is only Zhang Jingxu, there is no secret room time for this mod, but Zhang Jingxu will have ten pieces of paper in his hand. Therefore, Zhang Jingxu can pass information to other assisting players through these small notes, but assisting players cannot pass information backwards through small notes.”

"Then, because assisting players is strictly an NPC, assisting players will be affected by certain judgments. I hope you can help players prepare psychologically; the last and most important point is that in view of the players' understanding of ancient everyday terms and I don’t know much about the behavior and habits, so the NPCs in this special module have all been added to the modern template. Players don’t need to worry that they will fall off because of saying the wrong thing. As for the main task of this special module, it is very important It's simple, as long as player Zhang Jingxu can leave Xanadu alive."

   After listening to the introduction of kp El, Liu Xing couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Fortunately, this mod does not need to be an ancient person.

Although Liu Xing also likes to watch costume dramas and historical novels, Liu Xing is really not familiar with the communication methods of the ancients. After all, each dynasty will have some unique colloquial names. If Liu Xing really wants to play an ancient person, I'm afraid it will be revealed in a few words.

   But this trouble is solved, but there is another big trouble in front of my eyes, that is, this mod cancels the secret room time.

For the players in the Cthulhu running group game lobby, the importance of the secret room time is self-evident. After all, players expect to exchange information with other players during the secret room time, and reach a consensus on the next action, so as to avoid Some unnecessary conflicts occur.

It's good now, although Zhang Jingxu has ten small notes in his hand that can convey information, but these small notes can only be transmitted unilaterally, which means that it is difficult for Zhang Jingxu to know the information he has, and he It is also difficult for Zhang Jingxu to understand.

   In this case, Zhang Jingxu can only make decisions by himself.

   But this is also very reasonable, after all, this is Zhang Jingxu's resurrection mod.

   As for the question of judgment, Liu Xing said that there is no problem with this. Anyway, he only has one farming skill to use, which makes himself almost no need to judge in this module.

   After thinking about it, Liu Xing began to check the memory of his character card to understand the situation of Taoyuan Village.

According to the teaching of "Liu Xing"'s parents, the first generation of Taoyuan villagers fled here during the Qin Dynasty. At that time, it was still a wasteland in the valley. It took several generations of Taoyuan villagers' efforts to complete the cultivation. Be self-sufficient.

Over the years, Taoyuan Village has received some refugees from the outside world from time to time. Therefore, the current population of Taoyuan Village has reached nearly 1,000, and the scale is equivalent to a town. However, Taoyuan Village has always paid attention to inaction, so All affairs in Taoyuan Village are decided by the five clan elders, and the other villagers can be said to be tool people who can only cultivate the land.

But what makes Liu Xing most concerned is that there is a small ancestral hall in Taoyuan Village that only clan elders can enter. I heard that this small ancestral hall is dedicated to the first generation of villagers of Taoyuan Village, so the clan elders are on January 1st every year. They will enter this small ancestral hall to worship, and each time they worship, they will bring in a live chicken.

   Of course, the live chicken was silent after entering the small ancestral hall, and the clan elders would not bring anything out of the small ancestral hall after offering sacrifices.

   That is to say, there are at least several hundred chicken corpses in that small ancestral hall, but "Liu Xing" has never smelled the stench in the small ancestral hall.

   This is worth pondering.

In addition, Taoyuan Village has always had a rule, that is, people who leave Taoyuan Village are not allowed to return to Taoyuan Village. If anyone dares to do so, they will be beaten to death by other villagers in Taoyuan Village. , and then the clan veterans burned their bodies into ashes and sprinkled them in the southeast corner of Taoyuan Village, which is the cemetery of Taoyuan Village.

  Because the land in Taoyuan Village is very limited, Taoyuan Village has always carried out cremation, and then buried it in the soil directly with a pot, and there is no monument.

   Upon seeing these memories, Liu Xing removed the ghouls from the pre-selection list of mythical creatures for this mod.

   Just when Liu Xing was about to finish recalling "the first half of his life", he heard a middle-aged female voice calling him from outside the room, "Liu Xing, come out and see, a group of outsiders have entered the village."

  Liu Xing noticed that he had entered the module and was now lying on a dilapidated wooden bed, and everything around him could be described as a family.

   Liu Xing pushed open the door and walked out.

   A middle-aged woman outside the door said with a smile: "No outsiders have come to the village for many years, Liu Xing, would you like to come and see with me?"

   Liu Xing nodded and did not speak, because Liu Xing really had no way to call a stranger "Mom".

   So here we use Liu Mu to call this middle-aged woman.

   Liu's mother didn't care about Liu Xing, whose expression was a little right at this time, and directly pulled Liu Xing towards the door.

  By the way, "Liu Xing"'s father died of illness some time ago, and Liu's father's death was also the beginning of "Liu Xing" beginning to have doubts about everything in Taoyuan Village, because Liu's father's death was somewhat suspicious.

   But before Liu Xing had time to think about it, he was pulled under a big tree by Liu's mother, and Zhang Jingxu and others appeared not far away.

   To Liu Xing's surprise, the four Zhang Jingxu were dressed differently. Among them, Zhang Jingxu was wearing a gorgeous brocade garment with a jade pendant hanging from his waist.

   As for Ding Kun and Zhang Wenbing, they were dressed as bodyguards, with a large knife hanging from their waists.

   Behind Zhang Jingxu and the three, Yin En, dressed as a fisherman, was muttering something, and it seemed that he was not satisfied with his identity.

Seeing this situation, Liu Xing knew that the time point when this module was cut was already at the end of "The Story of Peach Blossom Spring", that is, "The prefect sent people to go wherever they wanted, to find what they wanted, and they were lost, and they never found their way." Liu Ziji of Nanyang , noble nobles, when I heard it, I am glad to go." This paragraph.

  According to Zhang Jingxu's dress, Liu Xing felt that Zhang Jingxu should be playing Liu Ziji now.

   Thinking of this, Liu Xing could not help frowning, because according to the description at the end of "Peach Blossom Spring", Liu Ziji died of illness because he did not find Taoyuan Village, but how did "Liu Ziji" played by Zhang Jingxu enter Taoyuan Village?

Liu Xing couldn't help but think of a famous conspiracy theory about "Peach Blossom Spring", that is, Liu Ziji did find Taoyuan Village, but because the villagers of Taoyuan Village were worried that he would reveal the location of Taoyuan Village, Taoyuan Village was harassed by the outside world, so The people of Taoyuan Village planned to poison Liu Ziji, making Liu Ziji look like he died of illness.

   This means that the current situation of Zhang Jingxu and others may not be very good.

   Liu Xing looked around subconsciously, and found that although the surrounding Taoyuan villagers all looked at Zhang Jingxu and others with smiles, their eyes were very aggressive, as if they regarded Zhang Jingxu and others as their own.

   Just then, Liu Xing heard someone shouting around, "The old royal family is here, let's make a way out."

  Because the first generation of villagers in Taoyuan Village had only five surnames—Zhao, Liu, Sun, Li, and Wang, the elders of Taoyuan Village have always been the elders of these five surnames.

   Liu Xing glanced at the royal family man and found that he was an old man in his 70s or 80s, and he didn't seem to care about anything.

  It stands to reason that hybrids of mythical creatures, under normal circumstances, will be completely transformed from humans to mythical creatures at the age of 30 or 40, so Liu Xing began to suspect that the villagers of Taoyuan Village are not actually hybrids of mythical creatures.

  The old man of the royal family came to Zhang Jingxu and others and said with a smile, "Boy Yin En, why did you bring someone in again?"

again?

   Liu Xing raised his brows. If the old man of the royal family had not made a slip of the tongue, it would mean that the fisherman "Yin En" had already brought a group of people into Taoyuan Village, and this group of people was most likely the subordinates of the local prefect.

   This plot is a bit interesting.

"Old royal family, this is our local celebrity Zhang Jingxu, whose name is Ziji. After he heard about our Taoyuan Village, he has always been fascinated by Taoyuan Village, so he has been pestering me to come to Taoyuan Village to take a look. There is really no way to agree to bring him to Taoyuan Village, so please take more care of the royal family." Yin En replied with a smile.

   Sure enough, Zhang Jingxu plays Liu Ziji's identity.

At this time, Zhang Jingxu also stepped forward and said: "Hello, old man of the royal family, after I heard about your Taoyuan Village from Yin En, I dreamed of coming to Taoyuan Village every day, so I kept twisting Yin En to come to Taoyuan Village, So don't blame Yin En, old royal family, after all, this is what I asked for."

The old royal nodded, looked at Yin En and said, "I think it is Yin En who is greedy for money, so he is willing to bring you Zhang Jingxu to Taoyuan Village, but it's not a big deal, as long as Zhang Jingxu promises me not to be in Taoyuan Village. If you make trouble, don't run around in Taoyuan Village, then I welcome you to come to Taoyuan Village as a guest."

   Zhang Jingxu immediately nodded and replied: "No problem, Yin En has already told me the rules of Taoyuan Village when we came, so we will definitely abide by the rules of Taoyuan Village, and we will never let the royal family elders bother you."

  The old man of the royal family did not answer, but just set his eyes on Ding Kun and Zhang Wenbing, to be precise, on the saber of Ding Kun and Zhang Wenbing.

   Zhang Jingxu understood and said, "Old Royal Family, these two are bodyguards sent to me by my father, and I am not qualified to order them to lay down their weapons, but I can assure you, Old Royal Family, that they will never hurt anyone for no reason."

   As soon as Zhang Jingxu finished speaking, there was a sound of dice landing.

The old royal sighed, shook his head and said: "Zhang Jingxu, you should know that the folk customs in our Taoyuan Village are simple and honest, and there has not been a murder case for hundreds of years, so we don't have a single weapon in Taoyuan Village, so you still let us Your subordinates will hand over the weapons to us for safekeeping, and take them away when you leave Taoyuan Village."
