Real Cthulhu Running Game

Generally speaking, except for the inspiration judgment that the player actively applied for, the inspiration judgment performed at other times can be directly identified as a sinkhole, because as long as you pass these inspiration judgments, you will lose San value in all likelihood.

Therefore, Liu Xing reckoned that if he passed the inspiration this time, he would either see mythical creatures or supernatural phenomena.

Liu Xing, 49/70, succeeded.

"Good luck".

"OK, then all players have successfully passed the inspiration judgment, and now the first side mission is officially triggered, and then all players will enter the story mode." kp Xuefeng said with a smile.

Liu Xing sighed silently, it seems that this time the module is a bit unfavorable. . . Or has kp Xuefeng's poisonous milk already taken effect?

Just when Liu Xing was complaining in his heart, Liu Xing suddenly felt something in his heart, and couldn't help but look towards the direction of the bridge.

Then, through the dense rain, Liu Xing still clearly saw a huge python with a shiny black body, or a dragon wrapped around the bridge.

Then there was only a sound of thunder, and the black flood dragon crushed the bridge and fell into the river.

"Because the players have witnessed a terrifying scene beyond your imagination, the San value test is now starting. However, because the specific conditions of each player are very different, the San value test required for each player is different. Now I will contact each player individually to perform their own San value test." kp Xuefeng still said with a smile.

But Liu Xing didn't pay much attention to what kp Xuefeng said now, because Liu Xing was stunned by the black dragon that just appeared.

In the Cthulhu running game, under normal circumstances, the size represents the combat power. The bigger the mythical creature, the stronger the combat power. After all, the size and strength are directly proportional. In the Cthulhu running game, the result of the confrontation between body size and strength largely determines the situation of the battle.

Therefore, looking at such a huge black dragon, Liu Xing's heart felt a bit cold, because Liu Xing estimated that the combat power of this black dragon should be similar to that of an adult earth-burrower, and this black dragon is not afraid of water. . .

Therefore, Liu Xing felt that if his group fought against this black dragon, they would definitely be completely crushed, unless the body of Li Dian or Wanzhongshan was the incarnation of Nyarlathotep.

On the USB flash drive Yin En gave him yesterday, Liu Xing saw a very interesting piece of information, that is, "Inventory of the story of Nyarlathotep's avatar pretending to be a player for mods".

According to incomplete statistics, there are currently at least thirty-two character cards that players can be sure belong to the avatar of Nyarlathotep, and there are at least five in each game area, and these character cards have played at least twice.

Most importantly, the character cards controlled by these Nyarlathotep avatars are relatively friendly to players, and have saved players on the verge of extinction many times.

Therefore, Liu Xing is still very much looking forward to meeting the character cards controlled by the avatars of Nyarlathotep.

Closer to home.

Although Liu Xing was quite afraid of the existence of that black dragon, Liu Xing didn't think that his group would have a direct conflict with that black dragon, unless his group triggered a group killing scenario.

And maybe this black flood dragon has any fatal weakness?

Liu Xing said so to himself.

At this time, kp Xuefeng contacted Liu Xing and said, "Player Liu Xing, because your character card is very special, so now you only need to pass a success to lose 0 san points, and if you fail, you will lose 1d3 san points and gain the same points of Cthulhu Mythos knowledge."

Liu Xing nodded, he could still accept such a san value test.

Liu Xing, 34/? ? ,success.

Looking at these question marks, Liu Xing felt a little headache, because Liu Xing suspected that if this continues, his character card will become a bunch of question marks sooner or later. . .

After finishing his san value test, Liu Xing immediately turned back to observe the situation of Ishi Chuan Ling and others. After all, he needed to perform a san value test this time, which meant that Shi Chuan Ling and others might enter a temporary state of madness.

Fortunately, except for Wan Zhongshan who seemed a little absent-minded, Shi Chuanling and Zhang Jingxu were just a little surprised.

"Did you see it? A big black snake broke the bridge just now?!" Shi Chuanling stammered.

Zhang Jingxu shook his head and said solemnly: "No, no, that's no longer a big snake, but a dragon in the legend of China, and if there are no accidents, this dragon's Taoism is not shallow."

Liu Xing sighed, pointed to the broken bridge and said: "The main problem now is that the bridge has been broken by that black dragon, so we have no way to go back the same way and leave here."

Zhang Jingxu shrugged his shoulders pretending to be relaxed, and said with a smile: "This is not a big problem. You must know that Huaxia is known as an infrastructure madman. Even in this kind of rural area, the roads extend in all directions. We can still go to our destination through other roads, or go back to Rongcheng."

It is true to say so, but the players are very clear that the "old town" they are in now has become an isolated island.

At this time, Wan Zhongshan also came back to his senses, and quickly said something to Zhang Jingxu, and Zhang Jingxu now habitually translated in real time, "Wan Zhongshan said that he will go with us now. After all, this black dragon looks really scary. He is afraid that something will happen if he stays alone in the bus."

Liu Xing nodded, now if Wan Chongshan is alone, it is indeed easy to have an accident.

Ever since, Liu Xing and the three left the bus with their luggage and Wan Zhongshan.

Back at Hu Cang's shop, Liu Xing saw Li Dianzheng talking to Hu Cang in shock.

Without Zhang Jingxu's translation, Liu Xing also knew that Li Dian was probably asking Hu Cang about the situation of the black dragon, but seeing Hu Cang's calm face, Liu Xing reckoned that Li Dian would not be able to get any results.

But from this point of view, this Hu Cang should know something.

"Li Dian is asking about the black dragon, but Hu Cang said that there is no dragon here at all. The bridge collapsed just because it was in disrepair. Now Hu Cang invites us into his house." Zhang Jingxu said in a low voice.

Ever since, everyone entered Hu Cang's house.

It was only then that Liu Xing discovered that the first floor of Hu Cang's house was actually a small clinic, which was divided into an outpatient area and an injection and infusion area like other clinics. However, it may be because the business is not so good, and there are very few medicines in the glass medicine cabinet.

At this time, Hu Cang lifted out a table, motioned everyone to sit down first, and then went to the back kitchen on the first floor to prepare meals.

"This Hu Cang doesn't look simple." Liu Xing said in a low voice.

Zhang Jingxu nodded and said, "That's right, there is obviously something wrong with this Hu Cang. I just asked Li Dian, and Li Dian said that he immediately asked Hu Cang what was going on after seeing the black flood dragon, but Hu Cang obviously saw the black flood dragon, but he opened his eyes and lied, saying that he didn't see anything, and that there was no legend about the black flood dragon in Panlong Town."

"Boiled Dragon Town?" Liu Xing said in surprise, because Liu Xing's hometown is also called Panlong Town (also the author's hometown).

The most important thing is that Liu Xing once learned the meaning of "Beautiful Dragon" from his grandfather when he was a child.

In China, the character Pan has the meaning of "prostrate on the ground", so Panlong refers to a dragon lying on the ground or a dragon coiled up in a ball. However, "Pan" is often used to refer to earthworms and other underground insects.

All in all, the black flood dragon that Liu Xing saw just now is very likely to be a Panlong.

Therefore, Hu Cang said that there is no legend about the black dragon in Panlong Town, which is impossible no matter how you look at it.

Therefore, there is only one truth, and that is that Hu Cang is lying!

But why did Hu Cang lie?

Just when Liu Xing was deep in thought, Zhang Jingxu, Wan Zhongshan and Li Dian chatted enthusiastically. As for Shi Chuanling, he sat in his seat boredly, took out his mobile phone and prepared to play games to pass the time.

However, something pleasant to hear and see happened. Ishi Chuanling found that his mobile phone "sure enough" had no signal.

Shi Chuanling sighed, and told everyone about the expected situation.

While everyone was checking their mobile phones, Hu Cang came out with a pot of fried rice and said, "As long as it rains here, the mobile phone signal will be problematic. Well, I don't have any food at home right now, so I can only make some fried rice for you to eat. I hope you don't mind."

Because of the language barrier, now Liu Xing felt quite embarrassed, because he didn't know what others were saying, so he could only keep smiling and wait for Zhang Jingxu to translate for him. . .

After Hu Cang put down the fried rice, he brought bowls and chopsticks from the kitchen to distribute to everyone, and then said: "Okay, everyone, eat slowly, I will go back to the room first."

After speaking, Hu Cang left.

Obviously, this is the space left by the module for players to have secret room time.

Therefore, Liu Xing applied to kp Xuefeng for secret room time without hesitation.

"OK, the time for the secret room is now open. I hope that players can hurry up and communicate. By the way, all players have already triggered the first side mission - Legend of the Flood Dragon. The mission requirement is that players need to find a way to understand the real situation of the black dragon hidden in Panlong Town. After completing this side mission, you will get 500 points and 30 'truth' points." kp Xuefeng said with a smile.

Liu Xing raised his brows. He didn't expect this side mission to be worth 30 "truth" points. It seems that the difficulty of this side mission is not as simple as stated in the mission introduction.

"Okay, don't waste time, let's summarize the current situation first." Shi Chuanling clapped his hands and said.

Li Dian looked at Shi Chuanling, and said with some surprise: "Ah, so you are from Huaxia, why did you get a character card of an islander?"

Shi Chuanling sighed helplessly, and said: "Liu Xing and I are both Chinese, but because of a certain module, the character card we are using now becomes an islander, which makes it impossible for us to speak the language when we return to China..."

Wan Zhongshan patted Shi Chuanling on the shoulder with a smile, and said: "I can understand your feelings, because my last character card was an Englishman, and then I was assigned to a module full of Englishmen. I couldn't understand their language during the secret room time, and I felt like an outsider. In the end, I was sold by those damn Englishmen."

Non-my family, its heart must be different.

In the Cthulhu running group game, compared with foreign players, players are definitely more willing to cooperate with their own players at a deeper level, and when one or more teammates must be sacrificed, it must be that the minority "obeys" the majority, or the majority "traps" the minority.

Therefore, the situation encountered by Wan Zhongshan is neither an isolated case nor uncommon.

At this time, Li Dian said: "Okay, let's get back to business. When Zhang Jingxu and you went back to pick up your luggage, I asked Hu Cang about the situation of this town. First of all, this town is called Panlong Town. It is surrounded by a river named Panlong River, and it is connected to the outside world by three bridges. Therefore, if there is no accident, the current Panlong Town can be understood as an isolated island, because the bridge when we came has been destroyed by the black dragon, and because of the height of the other small bridge, the Panlong River is now swollen due to heavy rain. The water should have submerged that small bridge, as for the last bridge, there will probably be an accident in nine out of ten."

Everyone nodded unanimously, expressing their agreement with Li Dian's opinion. After all, this can be regarded as the standard routine of the Cthulhu running team game.

"In addition, according to Hu Cang's introduction, I have summarized some noteworthy locations in Panlong Town - Panlong Primary School, Panlong Junior High School, Pig Slaughter Farm, Health Center, Bamboo Forest and Black Internet Cafe. After all, this module does not have main missions, so these locations are likely to trigger side missions. As for the specific locations of these locations, Hu Cang has promised to send us a map." Li Dian continued.

Liu Xing raised his brows. The places Li Dian mentioned may indeed trigger side missions, because places like Panlong Elementary School and Junior High School are the places with the largest traffic in Panlong Town, and places like health centers, pig slaughterhouses, and black Internet cafes are prone to accidents, not to mention the bamboo forest at the end. Maybe there are several mythical creatures hidden in it.

PS: All the side missions in this module are adapted from some legends of ghosts and monsters circulating in my hometown.
