Real Cthulhu Running Game

As Liu Xing's pen, the average lifespan may be only one semester. Of course, there will be some minor problems during this period, such as replacing the pen tip several times. Therefore, Liu Xing has been using gel pens since arriving in Chengdu. , pens and everything else were put on the shelf.

So this is just a room similar to my own bedroom?

"Toot, toot~"

At this moment, Liu Xing suddenly heard the sound of a car honking its horn, and it sounded like it was a big truck, and then there was the unique "buzzing" sound of this big truck when it is on standby.

From this point of view, this should be a room facing the street, and since there is a large truck parked outside, it means that there are shops here that need large trucks to unload or load things. Of course, this bedroom may also be at a bus station or logistics Near the center.

Then, Liu Xing heard the metal collision sound again. It seemed that the truck was loading a metal cargo, and the cargo seemed to have no packaging, so it made this metal collision sound. , and more importantly, this sound occurs more than once each time.

Is this loading and unloading steel bars?

Liu Xing immediately remembered that when he was in his hometown, there were several storefronts doing steel bar business opposite his building. After all, it was still a few years ago, and houses were still being built everywhere in his hometown, so the steel bar business must be stable. It was profitable, and it was right next to the local bus station, so there were many trucks parked at the bus station at that time.

Ever since, when Liu Xing was a child, he often heard this kind of "clanging" sound, because the loading at that time was quite simple and crude, just pile bundles of steel bars on the car, so. . . This couldn't be his childhood room, after all, in addition to the pen, there was something that looked like a crystal in this room. It was almost exactly the same as his childhood room!

Thinking of this, Liu Xing couldn't help but open his eyes. The feeling of soaking from formalin made Liu Xing subconsciously want to close his eyes, but Liu Xing still persisted at this time, but at this time Liu Xing felt as if he had cataracts. His vision was blurry and he could only vaguely see a figure. The reason why Liu Xing thought it was a figure was because the figure could move.

This is even more fancy than the mosaics in some film and television works.

As for this figure, there are still some static "squares" around it. Although Liu Xing can't see clearly what these "squares" look like, he can tell whether these "squares" are desks or beds based on their size. However, Liu Xing can't tell what these "squares" look like. The most concerning thing is that there is a small orange "square" at the feet of the figure, so if it is not an orange, then it should be something that fell to the ground before, and it seems to have smashed the floor tiles.

Orange crystal?

"Where exactly is it?"

At this moment, Liu Xing heard a classic electronic synthesized sound. It seemed that after he opened his eyes, his ears worked much better and he could finally hear human voices.

It seems that this person is not a thief, because a thief does not come specifically for something. His goal must be to get enough property in the shortest time. Of course, there is a limit to what a person can take away. , then it will pick up the watermelon and throw the sesame seeds, and it will be a professional thief.

Unless the thief has chosen his target at the beginning and knows what he wants, or he can get enough benefits as long as he finds this thing.

But, Liu Xing felt that if this was really his bedroom in his hometown, and it was the same bedroom more than ten years ago, then there wouldn't be anything valuable in this room. After all, the situation of his home back then could only be... I would say it was neither good nor bad, because my parents had just gone to Chengdu to open a clinic, and they borrowed a lot of money from relatives for this purpose, so when I was a child, I couldn't live with them.

There was no way. Liu Xing knew that although he was still very young at that time and it seemed that he didn't need to spend much money, his family really couldn't afford more money to pay for his tuition. Moreover, he had one bedroom, one living room and two bedrooms. The rent of a living room is not a concept either.

Therefore, when Liu Xing was a child, he could go to Chengdu to see his parents during holidays. Of course, sometimes his parents came back to see Liu Xing. At that time, they would prepare some gifts for Liu Xing, such as toys.

etc!

Speaking of the gifts brought back by his parents, the one that Liu Xing remembers the most is a Xiaobawang game console with a keyboard. This game console also came with a cassette without a cover. Liu Xing was also at a friend's house at the time. Having played a similar game console, I know that this kind of game console usually comes with a so-called "learning cassette", which has several built-in puzzle games related to learning, such as the classic balloon game. , just press the corresponding letter to pop down the corresponding balloon.

So Liu Xing had never played this cassette at that time, because at that time Liu Xing had won a lot of cassettes from his friends through Yu-Gi-Oh, and he also used marbles to exchange for a lot of cassettes, so there was Playing serious games, who would play this kind of puzzle game?

Until one day, Liu Xing accidentally inserted the wrong cassette. As for why Liu Xing made this mistake, it was mainly because in order to better store these cassettes, he removed the shells of these cassettes, and then used an ink pen to make a No, but Liu Xing had a good sleep that day, so he was still in a daze when he got up to play games.

But this is not important. What is important is that if Liu Xing remembers correctly, the cassette has an all-English interface after opening it. Of course, many cassette games at that time had this kind of all-English interface, so at that time Although Liu Xing doesn’t understand English at all, he can roughly guess what these things mean after playing too much. Therefore, Liu Xing successfully entered the game, and then Liu Xing discovered that this game turned out to be a legendary word game. , and occasionally there will be a picture with unclear meaning in the middle.

So Liu Xing didn't think too much at that time, so he decisively changed the card. After all, he couldn't understand anything, and the accompanying pictures were not very understandable. More importantly, this game was not available to Liu Xing at that time. For any operability, just keep pressing the handle.

Since then, this cassette has been relegated to the cold palace by Liu Xing. Later, in order to avoid inserting the wrong cassette in the future, he put the cassette in another place, that is, in his bedroom.

So this guy is here for the cassette?

The main reason why Liu Xing thought this person was looking for the cassette was that Liu Xing still remembered the first picture after starting the cassette, which was two huge "C"s. Of course, there were two huge "C"s next to them. There are some small letters, but Liu Xing has long forgotten what these letters are. He only knows that this should be the title of this game.

But at this time, Liu Xing had reason to suspect that the title was actually Call of Cthulhu, which translated into Chinese is Call of Cthulhu!

The reason why Liu Xing was so sure was that Call of Cthulhu was generally abbreviated as "CoC" because the "o" in the middle was lowercase, so it was normal for Liu Xing to ignore it at the time!

Secondly, Liu Xing has now come to the Cthulhu Running Group game hall, so he will subconsciously make up some similar things into Cthulhu elements, even if it does not have this meaning itself.

So this is a play on words related to the Cthulhu Mythos?

Liu Xing remembers that in the Famicom era, there were many text-based games. Some of them were similar to today's Cthulhu Run games. They would make corresponding judgments based on the player's choices. For example, there was The word game "Football Player" allows you to choose who will dribble the ball. When being defended by the opponent, you can choose whether to dribble or pass the ball. Of course, you can also choose to shoot, and the success rate of these actions depends on your choice. It is related to the player's ability, and it will also be related to the ability to defend your opponent. . . That's right, isn't this the battle round of the Cthulhu team game?

So in the real world, many players think that the Cthulhu Running Game can be made into such a word game. However, in Liu Xing’s memory, there are really not many word games related to the Cthulhu Mythos. Maybe it was back then. Aren’t the Cthulhu Mythos and Cthulhu Run games popular enough? Or maybe players at that time were more willing to play tabletop games in the real world?

After all, the Cthulhu Run game is also a social-oriented game in a sense. It is really fun only when everyone plays together, especially when the goddess of dice comes forward to create a show effect and everyone complains together. That's the most interesting thing.

So in the real world, the highest configuration required by the game is friends!

Of course, in the Cthulhu Running Game Hall, "friends" are also your most useful props.

Could this person be his friend?

Liu Xing looked at the figure who was still busy looking for something, and compared him with the "square" that should be the desk next to him, and concluded that his height should be only about 1.3 meters, because unless it was specially customized, Otherwise, this common desk is only 80 centimeters high, and this figure's chest is parallel to the desk, so his height should be about 1.3 meters.

Liu Qindong?

I don’t know why, but at this time Liu Xing thought of the three words "Liu Qindong" in his mind, because Liu Xing has now determined that Liu Qindong may have been in contact with the Cthulhu Running Group Game Hall, and he seems to have also Knowing that he would have contact with the Cthulhu Running Group Game Hall in the future, he seemed to be a matchmaker, hoping to get himself in touch with the Cthulhu Running Group Game Hall faster?

It's a pity that he went to Chengdu to study within a few years, and Liu Qindong chose to stay in his hometown at that time, so apart from the occasional contact, the two of them would get together when they returned to their hometown during the Chinese New Year, and surf the Internet together. of.

Liu Xing thought about it carefully and remembered that he had indeed talked about this cassette with Liu Qindong, because among his friends at the time, Liu Qindong was probably the first person to own a game console, and he also had a lot of game cassettes. So I got a lot of game cassettes from Liu Qindong, and I also complained to him about the strange cassette. After all, Liu Xing had never played any text games at that time, so it was inevitable that he would complain about this to his friends. game.

And Liu Xing still remembers that during the Chinese New Year, he and Liu Qindong and other friends would go to the Internet cafe to play games. As for the Internet cafe that everyone often went to, it was only a few dozen meters away from his home, so sometimes he would bring it with him Friends go home and eat instant noodles or something. After all, the Internet cafes at that time were quite simple, so let alone instant noodles, you couldn’t even buy a drink, and few restaurants would be open during the Chinese New Year. If you want Eating out is quite troublesome.

So, sometimes when everyone is having fun, they will try to choose a unlucky person to go back and cook instant noodles first, while others will play for a while before going back. Anyway, Liu Qindong and others often go to Liu Xing's house to play, and it is not the first or second time that they stay for dinner, so Liu Xing will also be relieved to hand over the key to his friends. Of course, as the host, Liu Xing only needs to eat and drink well, and he doesn't have to worry about cooking noodles and washing dishes.

Thinking of this, Liu Xing began to look forward to it, because it should have been several minutes since he heard the strange sound, so if his guess is correct, then there will be a knock on the door soon, right?

At this time, Liu Xing noticed that the figure seemed to be aware of something, so he began to restore the scene, such as picking up the orange crystal that fell on the ground, and even if the picture was a little blurry, Liu Xing could see that the figure was tidying up the things on the desk.

Then, the knock on the door that Liu Xing expected really sounded, and the figure ran to open the door directly, as if he had been prepared for it.

Is it really you?

Liu Qindong!

Liu Xing frowned, and just when he was about to complain, he heard several different electronic synthesized sounds after the door opened. Although the timbre of these electronic synthesized sounds was similar, the pitch of one of them was obviously much higher.

Girl?

Liu Xing remembered that none of his friends when he was a child had a shrill voice, so this person should be a girl, but at that time, he and his friends went to the Internet cafe to open a package day, and there was no way that there was a girl next to them. Anyway, Liu Xing didn't have such a situation in his memory.

Could it be the girl who was suspected to be related to the Cthulhu running group game hall?

Liu Xing thought about it and immediately understood why the figure suddenly froze for a moment, and then began to clean up the scene. Perhaps it was this mysterious girl who reminded him in some way.

At this moment, Liu Xing's eyes were still blurry, but the orange "block" suddenly became clear.

Yes, this is the orange crystal!

The moment he saw this orange crystal, Liu Xing once again reached out to grab the orange crystal involuntarily!
