Welcome to the game room of luck supremacy

Judging from past game experience, these gods never take the initiative to interfere in this world. Most of them don’t belong to the earth. Some are in distant outer space, and some are sleeping on the seabed, underground or other places that humans cannot reach. , What they show to humans is either a corner of a dream, or a mysterious spell, a silhouette, a short breath, a whisper... But these are enough to make people who touch them go crazy.

Their strength is extremely powerful. If their bodies come to this world, it will definitely cause an uproar, the world will be in turmoil, and nations and even species will die because of this.

Believers who have been "blessed" are obsessed with awakening the gods from their habitats, or summoning them from the far side of the world, relying on a few words in ancient books or a little mysterious revelation in midnight dreams.

The premise of summoning is to have a strict sacrifice ceremony, corresponding summoning spells and environment. Not all believers have the ability to summon gods to their side, but before that, they will all get more or less extraordinary due to blessings. ability.

Shen Lin believed that just as Cthugha had not been summoned into the world, the treacherous God of Many Faces was still resting somewhere.

What he had to do was to prevent Yang from summoning Cthugya, find that believer, and then destroy his sacrificial ceremony.

"Don't pay attention to this crazy old man," Evan patted Shen Rin's shoulder. "He always talks like this. Hey, Li Ming, your prosthetic body needs to be oiled. Use this money to take good care of it!"

"Don't worry, Evan," Li Ming said happily, "I have to be happy first, this money is enough for me to go to Wayne's brothel, haha!"

Shen Lin asked Xiu: "Do you still have money?"

"Have."

"Another [-] yuan," Shen Lin said, "expenditures."

Xiu: "Okay."

Shen Lin said to Li Ming: "I want you to divination again, can you figure out where the believers of Nyarradhotep are?"

"I can't figure it out," Li Ming shook his head, "But for thirty thousand, I can give you another message."

The lazy and out-of-the-ordinary temperament in his expression dissipated a little, and there was some nostalgia and lament in the depths of his pupils: "Twelve years ago, there were several frequent disappearances of children. To the corner of the mysterious shadow, I once encountered that indescribable fear. At that time, I didn’t understand why, but later I realized what happened at that time. You can write down an address, and maybe it can help you find out the missing child this time.”

Shen Lin frowned, feeling vaguely indescribable, he nodded, indicating that he was ready to record, and Li Ming could tell the address.

Li Ming said: "No. 4351 Enke Avenue, there is an old house over there, maybe there is something you want."

"4351 Enke Avenue?" Evan exclaimed, "Isn't that—" He looked at Xiu in shock.

Xiu also showed a surprised look.

Shen Lin asked: "You said you had encountered that indescribable fear, what happened? Can you tell us in detail?"

"I can't remember," Li Ming returned to his godlike appearance, "I'm too old, I almost forgot, I just remember that there were other people who went to that old house with me."

KP said to Shen Rin: "You are lucky."

Shen Lin made a successful throw, 75/45.

"Oh, I suddenly remembered something," Li Ming suddenly said, "At that time, I and several other people were investigating a missing child case, and finally found the house, but a fire burned everything down. We died Many people, those who went to the house with me died, only I survived by chance, and when I left, I accidentally saw a phantom, which was the revelation of Nyarlathotep."

Shen Lin thought for a while and asked KP: "Is Li Ming a former player? Does he still have a partner? Isn't this a single room?"

"Yes," kp said, "he is the previous player, the timeline of this room is moving forward, and the two rooms before you are multiplayer gameplay."

Then, the game that Li Ming experienced should be:

They wanted to track down the truth behind the disappearance of the child, but in the end, they failed in the game and were almost wiped out, only Li Ming survived.At the very end of the incident, the failure ending made him face the afterimage of Naia, and Xiti san-check.

Fortunately, Li Ming said that he didn't understand at the time, that is, he passed an intelligence test and failed, so he temporarily suppressed the madness and did not become a lunatic. He took this story out of the old house and brought it here. It has become an npc that can obtain information, so that players 12 years later can know what happened 12 years ago.

——In this way, you can understand what Li Ming said, and why Li Ming knows so much about the God of Many Faces and Master of Deceit, Nyarradhotep.

but.

Shen Lin glanced at Xiu and Evan, temporarily suppressing the doubts in her heart.

Why were they so surprised when Li Ming talked about this place?

After getting the clue, they left Li Ming's store and walked out of the noisy alley. Along the way, the bright and talkative Evan hesitated to speak, until the music that filled the street and alley suddenly paused for a moment. It was suppressed to the peak and suddenly burst out: "Boss, isn't No. 4351 Enke Street, that deserted house that no one lives in?"

"Yes." Xiu said.

"What's the matter?" Shen Lin asked.

Peanut explained: "At that time we—the boss, Linmei, Rex, Peanut, etc.—we met there. We were not mercenaries at that time. Everyone received a mysterious message on the information network at the same time. Invitation letter, inviting us to explore the deserted house, if we can escape from the deserted house alive within five days, we will get a very rich reward."

"What is it?" Shen Lin asked curiously.

"Money, a lot of money."

Shen Lin: "..."

Evan shrugged and said embarrassedly: "It was too poor at that time, fuck, prosthetic body modification cost too much money, those fucking prosthetic doctors sold us the materials picked up from the garbage dump at a high price, but It's almost impossible to survive here without prosthetics. We'll just have to fight."

"At first, Linmei suspected that this adventure in the deserted house was a trap set up by some prosthetic lunatic," Peanut said, "These prosthetic lunatics used the gimmick of 'high price rewards' to trick many people into trying their three-no experimental products. Only then did I know that there are really many strange things in it. There are huge underground labyrinths and secret rooms, and there are many monsters. It took us a lot of effort to escape from there before the time limit."

Shen Lin asked, "When did it happen?"

"Ten years ago." Evan said with certainty.

Ten years ago... If they were also players, it would be the second game room.That is to say, Li Ming's missing child case is the first plot, then Xiu Helin's adventure in the deserted house, and now his fire worship group tries to summon Cthugya.Three rooms connected in time, three plots.

Evan tried to recall: "Later, the mysterious deserted house existed on the Internet for a period of time and disappeared inexplicably. We went to see the deserted house later, it was an ordinary old house, the basement and maze that trapped us It all evaporated out of thin air, and the monster that made us collapse turned into ashes, as if this thing never existed."

Seeing that Xiu didn't stop, Evan continued: "At that time, Sister Rin and I were curious about the mystery behind the deserted house for a long time, and after searching for a long time, we couldn't find anything, so this matter was left alone. Oh Yes, the original owner of that dilapidated house was a businessman named Pierre, who was originally engaged in prosthetic body parts, and then went bankrupt. When we investigated this matter, he just moved to a nursing home. You see, this is a businessman, bankrupt He can find a way out for himself, and it is said that he has a generous pension insurance fund, which can afford him to enjoy his old age." Evan said sarcastically.

Shen Lin said, "Have you visited him?"

"I've searched," Evan said, "I don't remember anything. I sold the title deed of the house myself. I'm confused as to how much I sold. It's because of this that I went bankrupt. This man also has a son, but The relationship between father and son has been severed long ago, and it is said that it is because the old man is unwilling to leave the inheritance to him."

"Peanut," Shen Lin wanted to connect these clues together, but there was no clear line yet, "I want to read some information, can you help me prepare it?"

Peanut: "Okay, please tell me."

"The first is the case of the disappearance of children 12 years ago, all the relevant clues mentioned have been integrated; the second is your game ten years ago, you just said it was released on the information network, except whether you have other players , what happened to him, what was the result, what happened after leaving the game; the third is the information on Pierre and his son."

kp: "You have used the computer three times, and the peanut value is 90."

沈凛投掷：90/66，90/2，90/84

They were all successful, and there was another big success in the middle.

kp: "...how come your big successes come one after another, outrageous."

Peanut replied to Shen Lin: "It has been recorded for you, and I will give you the final integrated information as soon as possible."

Evan said: "The first one I went back to the police station to look for the records from that year."

Xiu said: "There is no need to search for the second one. We found relevant clues with Rin. Besides us, there were a total of 5 groups of players. Among them, only two groups managed to escape, and the rest all died in that villa. Successfully escaped." Half of the people are crazy, and they all suffer from various phobias. Rin said that there is an ancient god's clone in that deserted house. He used money to lure humans to go to the villa, and then created various mechanisms in the villa. Trap to mobilize people's extreme emotions."

"Happiness, pain, disgust, fear... He strengthened himself by absorbing these extreme negative emotions. He was injured. This was Rin's guess at the time, so he created that villa and used money to lure people in the past. Disagreements, fears, and doubts contributed to him with all kinds of negative energy. When his injury healed, he left the villa and took back the temporary gift, so at that time, all the rewards we got turned into unnecessary dust .”

Shen Lin: "..."

Shen Rin: "Isn't the money gone?"

"Yeah," Evan laughed loudly, "I was scared and stupid at the time. Fortunately, we accumulated some of our own resources with these funds at the beginning so that we would not collapse overnight, but it also added a lot of obstacles. The incident caused a lot of commotion, and the Devil City was in chaos for a while. The old house enshrined is really an evil god."

"What he and Li Ming said should be a god," Shen Lin speculated, "There is a general thread that can be connected... In the case of the missing child 12 years ago, Li Ming and the others found the real culprit behind it." ——The god in this ancient house or a believer who gained extraordinary power seriously injured him, which made him need to rest in the ancient house, which caused the event of Internet information convening ten years ago. He wanted to convene Those who come to explore the deserted house with curiosity will recover their strength."

"The time has advanced to this point in time, and a large number of cases of missing children have occurred again. It is exactly the same as 12 years ago. Some people want to reawaken the gods through the means of 12 years ago, or want to obtain extraordinary power through the same method." Xiu continued. Shen Rin's guess continued and said in a deep voice, "It's possible."

"It's very possible!" Evan's mind was clear. "This speculation is very possible. I will take you to the police station to check the files from that year."

Their police station is not far from here, and Evan took them back on foot, discussing the incident along the way.

When they arrived at the police station, Evan told them to sit down for a while. In the corner squatted a few young men with bruises all over their faces. The clothes are hollowed out like old fishing nets.

The robot policeman stood upright, and the horn at the navel kept repeating: "Resist and be strict! Resist and be strict!"

"Xiu!" Evan put away the title of "Boss" when he arrived at the police station. The lessons learned in the past made this careless and tough man cautious. He took a chip out from the file room and shouted at Xiu, "come here."

He opened the door of his office and signaled Shen Rin and the others to enter.

In the chip are all the records about the disappearance of children 12 years ago, including the visit records of the lost families, the statements of eyewitnesses, the clues found and so on.

But no matter which one is very vague, these people seem to have seen something and seem not to see it, they can only provide a vague direction, and they are vague when it comes to details.

So roughly speaking, they are all "vague", "probably" and "possible" clues that cannot be supported by evidence at all.

Evan looked around and saw that no one was paying attention here, so he said: "There is something I want to tell you after thinking about it. When I was investigating this case, I found that there was a piece of information that was suppressed by the director. It has never been made public. When I went to ask for it, the director said that it had been locked into the important interrogation data room, and I had no authority to enter that room, and I couldn’t get the information chip.”

"Where is the place to store the data?" Shen Lin asked.

"At the end of the corridor on the second floor," Evan frowned, "Do you have a solution?"

"It's just unlocking," Shen Lin said, "help me drive the others away, and I'll get that chip."

Evan patted his chest: "No problem, brother."

Shen Lin went out and said to KP: "I'm going to sneak. Is there any bonus dice under the cover of Evan?"

"Yes, I will give you 1d6 bonus dice." KP said.

He throws.

75/9.

Bonus dice roll: 5

Final check 75/4 (9-5).

Plus bonus dice, another big hit.

Shen Lin evaded all the monitors and approached the innermost file room without anyone noticing. He passed a successful locksmith and successfully opened the important interrogation file room.

"Evan," Shen Lin asked Evan in the communication channel, "Which shelf is the information on?"

Evan said: "I don't know either, it is said that it is arranged by year."

Shen Lin searched for a while, but found nothing.

kp: "You can go through a library and maybe you'll find something."

Shen Lin was silent for a moment.Considering the possible reasons why the director kept the document... Shen Lin wandered around the room, and finally closed the door. He turned his head, looked at the director's office diagonally opposite the file room, and went through a locksmith again. The director's office was successfully opened.

This office is spacious and bright, and it is much bigger than Evan's.

Shen Lin looked around and chose the safest way. He said to KP: "I want to investigate the table."

A successful check allowed him to discover a small compartment under the desk in the office, which contained a 5cm high safe.

Shen Lin used a locksmith to open the safe and found a file bag with "2065" written on the corner.

This is a document from 12 years ago.

He opened the file bag.

Most of them are photos, and there is a chip disk. The photo is blurry, but the face of the man can still be seen clearly. He is leading a little boy into the dilapidated house.

Shen Lin turned over the photo, and it read on the back: Pierre, prosthetic body parts dealer.

Pierre, the owner of the deserted house, must have some connection with Nyarlathotep.
