Real Cthulhu Running Game

What Liu Xing didn't expect was that Matsui Ichiro gave up burning incense so easily.

After all, in Liu Xing's eyes, the incense in Ichiro Matsui's hands is the ecstasy incense, and this ecstasy incense is undoubtedly the magic weapon in the hands of Ichiro Matsui, the greatest reliance, and an important prop for this so-called ceremony.

At first, Liu Xing thought that Ichiro Matsui would only choose to let Alice leave the ancestral hall alone when he heard that Alice might be allergic to spices, and then attack his own group. Unexpectedly, Ichiro Matsui gave up using ecstasy incense directly.

What is this operation?

Liu Xing looked at Matsui Ichiro with some doubts, and couldn't help thinking in his heart, did he really think too much before?

Before Liu Xing could come up with a reason, Matsui Ichiro put the incense in his hand back into the small cabinet, and began to greet Liu Xing and others to take their positions again, while Matsui Ichiro stood at the front with his back to Liu Xing and others.

"Okay, now, friends, please get ready. I will start the ceremony now. Here I recommend that you close your eyes and let go of your energy. Just think about blessings to the newcomers in your heart. Of course, if you want to open your eyes, there is no problem, as long as you don't look around and twist your body a lot. Please hold on for five minutes." After Ichiro Matsui finished speaking, he bowed three times towards the tablet in front of him.

Then, Matsui Ichiro began to hold the ceremony in a language that Liu Xing could not understand, and recited the sacrificial oration.

However, Liu Xing could still hear that the language used by Matsui Ichiro should be a certain dialect in the island language system, because Liu Xing could occasionally understand a sentence or two of Matsui Ichiro's mouth.

The reason why Liu Xing was sure that Matsui Ichiro was reciting sacrificial rites was because Liu Xing understood words such as "ancestors and ancestors" and "blessings", so Liu Xing was sure that Matsui Ichiro was chanting sacrificial rites, not casting magic.

This made Liu Xing even more strange. Could it be that Ichiro Matsui didn't intend to do anything today?

As time went by, Ichiro Matsui recited the sacrificial text faster and faster, even Liu Xing could no longer hear what Ichiro Matsui was chanting, and Ichiro Matsui's tone was gradually improving. Liu Xing couldn't help but admire Ichiro Matsui for being old and strong, and having such a good lung capacity at such an age.

However, why does this feel a little sleepy already?

At this time, Liu Xing suddenly felt that his upper and lower eyelids had started to fight, and the voice of Matsui Ichiro chanting the sacrificial oration in his ear also became a little illusory.

Hired.

Although Liu Xing has already realized that something is wrong, but now Liu Xing has no strength to resist, let alone a fight, he has no choice but to even open his mouth to make a sound.

Liu Xing realized that this time he was killed due to a plot. After all, according to the formal process, it should be a decision of will now.

Therefore, Liu Xing could only sigh helplessly in his heart, but Liu Xing is not very worried now, after all, in terms of the current situation, this plot killing should not be serious and kill people.

Just when Liu Xing was thinking this way, a slight but obvious rustling sound suddenly sounded in his ear.

This sound was exactly the same as what Liu Xing had heard in the corner next door.

This surprised Liu Xing, did the unknown creature next door come over? !

But no matter how hard Liu Xing tried, he couldn't be sure where this strange sound came from, because this strange sound was too ethereal to distinguish its source.

Of course, Liu Xing could still deduce that this strange sound should come from underground. After all, the layout of the Fisherman’s Village Shrine is clear at a glance. Basically, there are no dead corners, and there is no place that can be regarded as a hiding place. Therefore, Liu Xing feels that the unknown creature making this strange sound should not have stayed in the Fisherman’s Village Shrine from the very beginning.

Therefore, this unknown creature should have stayed in the cement-closed houses around the ancestral hall of the fisherman's village at first, and then came to the ancestral hall of the fisherman's village from underground after hearing the sacrificial rites recited by Ichiro Matsui.

Thinking of this, Liu Xing wanted to see what this unknown creature looked like, but Liu Xing realized that he had been forced to close his eyes, and his eyes were completely dark.

Liu Xing couldn't help frowning, the situation is a bit bad now, after all, firstly, the identity of this unknown creature cannot be confirmed, secondly, he doesn't know the purpose of this unknown creature, and thirdly, he is even less sure what Matsui Ichiro wants to do by summoning these unknown creatures.

But Liu Xing suddenly remembered that there was still one exception among the people present, and that was the panda pig.

After all, the panda pig wears earplugs, which should have a certain immunity to the sacrificial rites recited by Ichiro Matsui, so Liu Xing thinks that the current panda pig should have the opportunity to see the true face of that unknown creature.

Just when Liu Xing thought this way, he heard a short exclamation from behind him, and judging from the tone, it should be the sound of the panda pig.

Then, I heard kp green light gloating and saying: "Hey, Panda Pig, let you be smart and self-righteous, get some earplugs to wear, and you will feel comfortable after seeing something you shouldn't have seen. Originally, this plot kill was just a cutscene, to advance the plot, so that you can be mentally prepared for the mythical creatures that may appear next. I didn't expect that there would be someone who wanted to make trouble. Then, Panda Pig, please take a san value test now, because you have seen an indescribable myth. biological."

Mythical creature? !

Liu Xing frowned. . . Uh, because he temporarily lost control over his body, Liu Xing didn't know if his brows were raised or not.

What Liu Xing didn't expect was that this unknown creature would be a kind of mythical creature, and it looked like a great mythical creature. After all, KP Green Light even used the word "indescribable" to describe this kind of mythical creature.

But the good thing is that this plot kill, as Liu Xing thought, would not cause any substantial harm to the players. . . Wait, this seems like it might be serious.

According to the rule book of the Cthulhu running game, when the player's character encounters a certain mythical creature for the first time, he will basically make a check that may lose more than 5 san points.

And no matter what kind of temporary madness it is, Panda Pig will do some irrational behaviors because it lost too much san value at one time, and it is very likely to affect his group at that time.

Therefore, Liu Xing can only pray that the Panda Pig's san value test can pass smoothly.

But having said that, Liu Xing felt that now he had already guessed what the mythical creature Panda Pig saw.

At this time, kp green light went on to say: "OK, let's start the san value test now. The player Panda Pig will lose 1d6 points of san value if he succeeds, and lose 1d20 points of san value if he fails, and he will gain Cthulhu Mythos knowledge equal to the value of the lost san value."

1d20? !

Liu Xing was startled, he didn't expect that the penalty for failing the san value check would be so high this time, if the panda pig failed the san value check, there would be a 3/4 chance of falling into a temporary state of madness.

This situation is not good.

Just when Liu Xing was tense and wanted to confirm the result of the panda pig's san value test, kp green light said with a smile: "Because of some special reasons, this time the panda pig's san value test will be a secret cast, hehe."

Then, there was a sound of dice falling to the ground.

Although Panda Pig's san check is a secret cast, but Liu Xing can know from the fact that there is no big movement behind him, Panda Pig should be lucky and not fall into a temporary state of madness.

But at this time, the sacrificial rites recited by Ichiro Matsui had come to an end, the tone of voice became slow again, and the strange sound of "rustling" gradually disappeared.

These five minutes really made Liu Xing feel like his days were like years.

When Ichiro Matsui finished reciting the sacrificial oration, he said, "Okay, this ceremony is over. Thank you for your cooperation. Now, you can leave the ancestral hall and return to the villa to rest."

Liu Xing noticed that Alice beside him was looking around the ancestral hall, as if looking for something. It seemed that Alice also heard that strange voice.

But now Liu Xing is more concerned about how the Panda Pig is now.

Looking back, Liu Xing saw that Panda Pig was still kneeling on the futon, with his eyes tightly closed. It was not difficult to see from Panda Pig's facial expression that Panda Pig was in a state of tension and fear.

It seems that although Panda Pig did not fall into a temporary state of madness, Panda Pig was still frightened.

Therefore, Liu Xing gave Ishi Chuan Ling a look, and then Ishi Chuan Ling understood, and went forward with Liu Xing to help the panda pig.

And Zhang Jingxu also stood up at the right time, and went up to talk to Matsui Ichiro to attract the attention of Matsui Ichiro and Alice, so that Matsui Ichiro and Alice would not notice the strangeness of the panda pig.

Then, Liu Xing and Ishi Chuanling helped Panda Pig to leave the ancestral hall, and Miyako Indus also deliberately walked in front of Panda Pig.

As for Lu Tianya, he walked out of the ancestral hall first, and started talking to Yui Matsui outside the ancestral hall.

And Liu Xing greeted Matsui Yui directly, and then returned to the villa with Shi Chuanling and Panda Pig.

On the way, Panda Pig finally recovered a little bit, but Panda Pig's mental state was still a bit bad, but at least he was able to act independently.

Back at the villa, Shi Chuanling asked Liu Xing to take care of the panda pig first, while he went back to his room to get things.

After a while, Shi Chuanling came down with a glass of boiling water and a box of medicine.

"This is a sedative drug, and it should be effective for the current symptoms of panda pigs." Ishi Chuanling explained.

Liu Xing took the box of medicine, but there was no item information, indicating that the box of medicine was just ordinary medicine.

In the Cthulhu running game, those items that are not classified as props can still play their due role, just like this box of medicine, which can calm the mind, but cannot restore the san value.

But as far as the current situation is concerned, this box of medicine can be said to be a timely gift, and it came very timely.

After Panda Pig took the medicine, the situation improved a lot, but most of the sedative drugs have hypnotic effect, so Liu Xing and Shi Chuanling could only help Panda Pig back to the room to rest for a while. After all, Liu Xing had already had a guess about the mythical creature that Panda Pig saw, and Liu Xing was very confident in his guess, so Liu Xing was not in a hurry to get an accurate answer from Panda Pig.

After sending Panda Pig back to the room, Zhang Jingxu and Lu Tianya also came back. As for Alice, Liu Xing guessed that she should have gone to talk to Ichiro Matsui.

"How is the panda pig?" Zhang Jingxu asked as soon as he entered the door.

Liu Xing pointed to the upstairs, and said with a smile: "Panda Pig's condition is not bad, he has recovered the ability to act autonomously, but he is still in a trance. We gave him a sedative drug just now, and now Panda Pig is resting in the room. I believe that after he wakes up, his mental state should return to normal."

Zhang Jingxu nodded, frowned and said, "What happened to Panda Pig? After a few minutes, Panda Pig seemed to have been greatly frightened. Could it be that there is something wrong with Matsui Ichiro's chanting rite?"

Liu Xing frowned, unexpectedly Zhang Jingxu didn't mention that strange voice.

From this point of view, if I hadn't heard this strange sound in the next house from the beginning, I should not have noticed this strange sound during the ceremony.

Therefore, Liu Xing still decided to tell the matter, "Uh, didn't you all hear that strange sound, that kind of rustling sound?"

Shi Chuanling and others shook their heads in unison, expressing that they did not hear what Liu Xing said.

"Uh, it seems that Panda Pig also noticed the sound, and then saw something that shouldn't be seen, but you should also have noticed that the buildings in the old site of Fisherman's Village, except for the ancestral hall, were basically sealed with cement and turned into secret rooms. Before I entered the ancestral hall, I heard that strange sound from the house next door. I suspect that there are some ulterior things in these houses." Liu Xing continued.

Shi Chuanling and the others were shocked when they heard what Liu Xing said, because Shi Chuanling and the others roughly guessed the true identity of the mythical creature, and according to Liu Xing, if there were so many mythical creatures, then his party would not need to play, because they might not even be able to defeat a single mythical creature, let alone a group of mythical creatures.

Most importantly, these mythical creatures may also follow the orders of Ichiro Matsui.
