Real Cthulhu Running Game - #2313 - Chapter 2254: Blind method (please subscribe)
“Um?”
Liu Xing heard the sound coming from his trouser pocket, so he reached out and touched a small walkie-talkie. This walkie-talkie should also be a simplified version, because it only has one button, let alone a replacement. The channel is off, and I can’t even adjust the sound.
“Third brother, don’t answer if you can hear it now. Just press the button to prove that you can hear it, because I have a monster here! The volume of this walkie-talkie cannot be adjusted, so you can easily trigger it by speaking. Notice!”
At this time, Liu Xing noticed that the boss deliberately lowered his voice when speaking, but his breathing was very rapid. It was clear that he was in a very nervous state, but this was normal, after all, he A monster has been seen!
So Liu Xing pressed the button as he intended to prove that he had heard his voice.
Whether it is a simple version or a standard version of the walkie-talkie, as long as the dialogue button is pressed, it will produce obvious noise, so other people holding the walkie-talkie can hear the sound.
Thinking of this, Liu Xing realized another problem, that is, both himself and his boss carried a walkie-talkie with them. This means that other people who entered this ghost place should also bring walkie-talkies, right?
Liu Xing, who realized this, began to pay attention to the sounds around him.
“The fourth child’s girlfriend has been eaten by that monster! And this monster looks like a pile of mud, and its height should usually be less than half a meter, so it can hide behind the wall and wait! But this monster has a kind of There is a vague smell, so as long as you are careful, you can use this smell to determine whether it is around you! This is very important!”
After a pause for a few seconds, the boss continued: “I’m not sure about this monster’s hearing and vision. I only know that its moving speed is about the same as when we walk quickly, but I’m not sure whether it can run! And when it catches you, it will turn into countless tentacles and turn you directly into a cocoon. Then it will digest your flesh and blood like a Venus flytrap, and then spit out the remaining bones! So I Although I can’t be sure, I feel that as long as we are caught by it, there will be no possibility of survival! After all, the fourth child’s girlfriend is the main force of our school’s basketball team, and her strength is no worse than ours!”
“So what you have to do now, Third Brother, is to find other people. After all, there is strength in numbers. If we want to deal with this monster, we must gather the strength of the entire dormitory! Of course, you can also try to leave this ghost first. place, and then find someone to help me, because although I can’t determine the specific location of the monster now, I can feel that the monster is wandering around here, so you must not approach the fifth floor on my side. It is best not to Don’t move on the sixth and fourth floors, so as not to attract the attention of this monster! As for if you want to contact me, then follow the turtle soup pattern! This way the movement will be smaller, because I really don’t want to be like the fourth one My girlfriend was eaten by a monster like that!”
Of course, the turtle soup in the boss’s mouth is not a real soup, but an interactive reasoning game. To put it simply, after the question maker tells the riddle, a person will put forward his or her guess in the form of a question, and The person who asked the question can only answer right or wrong.
If this reasoning game is played face to face, the questioner can also answer by shaking his head or nodding.
In this way, Liu Xing does not need to speak and can communicate with the boss by just pressing the button.
But this is not the point. The point is that through what the boss said, Liu Xing can determine that the only people with walkie-talkies are himself and the boss, because the boss asked him to find other people who came here, instead of him using the walkie-talkie. Go notify others.
In addition, the monster the boss mentioned looks a bit like Shoggoth to Liu Xing, because Shoggoth can also be described as a pile of mud to ordinary people, and the invisible monster that looks similar to Shoggoth The son of the monster can be excluded for the time being due to its size, unless the monster is a stunted invisible son.
However, neither the Shoggoth nor the Invisible Son can be dealt with by ordinary people like me!
Thinking of this, Liu Xing glanced at the wooden ruler in his hand and felt that it was completely useless. . . No, this seems to be of some use, right? Because according to the boss, this monster’s hunting method is a bit like hitting snakes and following the stick, so he can use this wooden ruler to dodge an attack?
Then let’s go back and get another broom.
Since then, Liu Xing went back to the office to get a broom, but in order to make it easier to carry, Liu Xing threw away the broom head and only tied the wooden stick to his waist.
Although it is a bit awkward, it has little impact.
So what to do next?
If this is just an ordinary module, then Liu Xing has only one choice, which is to find the remaining roommates, because when the boss on the other end of the intercom finishes speaking, he should receive a task prompt— Looking for roommates, or looking for a way out of here.
However, Liu Xing knew that this was just a dream, so he did not need to follow the steps because he would not really be harmed.
So Liu Xing had a bold idea, that is, to go directly to the boss, or to meet the monster!
Anyway, I already know the approximate location of the monster, so it is not difficult to find it.
Just when Liu Xing made up his mind and was about to set off, a pleasant sound suddenly came from his ears, like the sound of some kind of string string.
Although Liu Xing has no musical ability, he can still hear that this piece of music seems to be played on the guqin, but since he had this dream while using Jinse as a pillow, this should be Jinse’s voice. ?
The Jinse has fifty strings for no reason, each string and one column reflects the past.
Is this hinting at something?
After Liu Xing thought for a moment, he thought of the possibility that he was not simply dreaming at this time, but had entered a fantasy realm within a dream, referred to as fantasy dreamland. . . Ah, no, it should be a dream!
If it is an ordinary dream, then as the master of the dream, he can naturally do whatever he wants. Even if he dies, he will just wake up early. But the situation now is different. Liu Xing began to worry about what would happen to him. If something happens, then something is really going to happen.
But so far, except for the pleasant music, Liu Xing has not received any hints, so this is a blind man touching an elephant. Take a gamble?
Or be more stable?
After thinking for a moment, Liu Xing still felt that he should be more cautious, because he had just had a bold idea and got a reminder from Jinse, so he had reason to think that Jinse was reminding him not to act rashly.
It feels a little uncomfortable.
Liu Xing couldn’t help but touch the back of his head, because he was really not used to this kind of challenge without any prompts, because in the Cthulhu Running Game Hall, players can get certain prompts every time they complete a plot, so that players can Understand your next step and have a general direction for doing things.
Even an open-ended module like the Battle of Public Martial Arts will give you a general direction for reference, instead of being like this dream with no hints, leaving you confused like a headless fly.
Wait, it seems a bit wrong to say this, because I still have a clear goal, which is to leave this ghost place with monsters, and it is best to find my remaining roommates. After all, if I act alone, Encountering a monster attack is a narrow escape.
So this is just because there is no direct prompt, and you can only make decisions by yourself based on the known information?
Um?
Just when Liu Xing came to the conclusion, he suddenly felt that something was wrong when he touched the back of his head. In short, there were some unevenness on his occipital bone, as if there was a scarred wound?
Should I say it or not, Liu Xing has always had a bad habit, that is, he likes to expose his own scars. Of course, the scars here refer to the scabs rather than the wounds in his heart.
The reason why Liu Xing did this was because he still had a little bit of obsessive-compulsive disorder, so he always felt that the scab looked out of place with the surroundings, and it didn’t feel right to the touch, so he wanted to remove it, but the result was Sometimes you will act too hastily and let the wounds that have not fully recovered continue to bleed.
Although Liu Xing knew this was not a good habit, he still couldn’t control his hands.
So at this time, after Liu Xing was stunned for a moment, he couldn’t help but slap the back of his head, and then discovered that this was indeed a newly scabbed wound, because there were some blood scabs on his hands, which meant The wound should have appeared not long ago, and it seemed to have healed naturally without any medical treatment.
What’s going on?
Liu Xing was confused for a few seconds and then remembered that when he had just entered the dreamland, he heard the boss mention that he and his group were going to enter a bedroom. However, he never expected that after entering the bedroom, he came to this thing inexplicably. office!
And since this was about to enter a bedroom, it meant that his group should be visiting someone at that time, such as visiting someone who was sick in bed. Therefore, combined with the photo in his wallet, Liu Xing felt that he had a reason I think this person is the fourth child who should have appeared in the group photo!
The main reason why Liu Xing identified this person as the fourth child in the dormitory instead of the sixth child as he thought before was that the boss mentioned “gathering the power of the entire dormitory” on the intercom instead of “the power of everyone”, then It means that the human beings who have entered this ghost place and may still be alive are the six brothers in the dormitory!
This means that apart from the five people in the group photo, the only person who entered the bedroom was the girlfriend of the fourth child, so why did the girlfriend of the fourth child come with her? That’s because the person who may be bedridden and needs everyone to visit is the fourth child!
Of course, we don’t rule out the possibility that the fourth child’s girlfriend has a good relationship with everyone, so she will come with her, but this possibility is only 10% to 20%. After all, this is a group activity in a dormitory. What’s more, this is not a hospital, but a direct visit to someone else’s home, so not everyone can go to an occasion like this.
Moreover, this is a group of college students, so there is no guarantee that the person who needs to be visited came from other places to attend college. Therefore, not everyone is willing to go to other cities for visits.
So Liu Xing felt that the person who needed to visit, and the person who was not in the photo, should be the fourth child. He might have to go home to rest due to some unexpected reasons, and his roommate and his girlfriend were close friends. A friend took advantage of the holiday to visit him, but as soon as he entered his bedroom, he was attacked and passed out.
That’s right, Liu Xing thinks that the reason why he has scars on the back of his head is because he was knocked unconscious by someone with a stick. After all, the back of the human head is quite fragile, so in martial arts dramas, a knife can hit this spot casually. It will 100% trigger the stun effect, let alone a stick.
Of course, if it is in the real world, in addition to having a 50% chance of causing dizziness, this stick also has a 50% chance of triggering an instant death effect.
So if this is really a module in the Cthulhu Running Group game hall, then Liu Xing has been able to figure out the general plot of this module – in a harmonious and loving six-person dormitory, the fourth child died due to some reasons. He came into contact with a mysterious organization and became a little abnormal. In the end, he simply claimed to be ill and went home to recuperate.
Then on a Sunday, the fourth child sent text messages to all five good brothers in the dormitory, hoping that they would come to visit him, and claimed that this might be the last time they saw each other.
After some discussion, the five people in the dormitory thought that the fourth child might be suffering from a terminal illness and would die soon, so they decided to see him for the last time. Unexpectedly, they were ambushed by their good brothers.
Of course, the fourth child at this time is no longer a human being, but has turned into a monster similar to mud!
The first sword you take ashore is to kill the person you like first!
Ever since, the fourth child ate his girlfriend in a physical sense and truly became one with her. Then he was ready to let his good brothers fulfill the vow they made back then – not to ask for the same year, the same month and the same day. Live, but wish to die in the same year, same month and same day!
Hmm, it tastes like that.
As for why we need to go to the trouble of knocking out a group of ourselves and sending them here, it is naturally to test the “airborne” players, because this trick is not so easy to see through!
Let’s take a regular rest tomorrow and prepare to do some things, such as the annual task of stuffing sausages.
