Real Cthulhu Running Game

At this time, Yin En also came to the blacksmith shop, "I have searched the room and found no useful clues."

Liu Xing nodded, pointed to the footprints on the ground and said, "Yin En, whose footprints do you think these are?"

Yin En frowned, thought for a moment and then said, "Liu Qindong?"

"Yes, I also think these should be the footprints left by Liu Qindong, because during this period of time, the only person who could enter here wearing men's sneakers was Liu Qindong." Liu Xing said with a sigh.

Yin En patted Liu Xing's shoulder and said, "Maybe Yang Xuanzhu asked Liu Qindong to come here to get something? Or maybe Yang Xuanzhu likes to wear men's sneakers?"

Liu Xing rolled his eyes at Yin En and said helplessly: "Yin En, please stop talking nonsense here just to comfort me. If it is really like what you said, then Liu Qindong will definitely mention this matter to me at that time, so now I doubt Only Liu Qindong is the believer of the Snake Man, while Yang Xuanzhu and his family are the victims."

Yin En shrugged and said with a smile, "Okay, so will I."

Liu Xing also smiled and walked to the cabinet.

This somewhat shabby cabinet is only about two meters high and looks similar to a common wardrobe. However, this cabinet looks a little out of place in a blacksmith shop.

As for the inner space of the cabinet, there is nothing else except a wooden stick for hanging clothes.

This is indeed a wardrobe.

Liu Xing looked at the interior furnishings of the blacksmith shop again and found that except for this wardrobe, there were no other items with wrong styles in the blacksmith shop. Therefore, the blacksmith shop was not converted into a utility room due to abandonment, so this wardrobe will be placed here.

This means that this wardrobe was specially placed in the blacksmith shop by Yang Xuuzhu's family. As for why Yang Xuuzhu's family did this, it should be related to the things originally in the cabinet.

Liu Xing turned on his mobile phone to illuminate the inside of the wardrobe and found a circular mark at the bottom of the wardrobe, surrounded by dust.

This mark is only about the size of a fist.

Liu Xing frowned and was not sure what it was for a while.

A small bottle?

It seems that we still have to see the real thing before we can determine what it is.

Liu Xing told Yin En his findings.

"I think this should be a bottle. It may contain some kind of materials that the snake man needs. That's why Liu Qindong came to steal this small bottle." Yin En guessed.

Just then, a whistle sounded from the right.

Liu Xing and Yin En immediately came to the house on the right.

After everyone arrived, Zhang Jingxu, who was whistling, said, "You all come and take a look at this. I just found this from the room."

Liu Xing followed Zhang Jingxu's line of sight and found that what Zhang Jingxu found was a shabby diary.

Because there is a red seal on the cover of this diary - Yuanhong Town Primary School, Prize, 1970.

It seems that this should be Yang Xuanzhu's father's diary.

Zhang Jingxu opened the diary and continued: "I originally thought this was just an ordinary diary, but I soon discovered that this diary contains many useful clues for us, such as this page."

Liu Xing took a closer look and found that this page of the diary was indeed a bit strange.

To put it simply, Yang Xuanzhu’s father went home to do his homework after school and suddenly heard some strange noises coming from the blacksmith shop. At this time, Yang Xuanzhu’s grandparents went shopping in town and had not returned yet, so Yang Xuanzhu’s father I thought that a thief came to steal something, but because Yang Xuanzhu's father was still a child at this time, Yang Xuanzhu's father could only hide aside, trying to see clearly the appearance of the thief and the direction in which he was leaving, so that he could tell these things clearly. He told his parents and told them to call the police to catch the thief.

As a result, after Yang Xuanzhu's father monitored the blacksmith shop for a few minutes, he discovered that the things in the blacksmith shop suddenly disappeared. Not long after, Yang Xuuzhu's father suddenly fainted. When he woke up again, an hour had passed.

After Yang Xuanzhu's grandparents came home, Yang Xuanzhu's father told everything about what had just happened. As a result, Yang Xuanzhu's grandfather's face changed drastically and he immediately ran into the blacksmith shop, but soon walked out with a relaxed look on his face.

At the end of the diary, Yang Xuanzhu's father also mentioned the wardrobe, saying that the wardrobe had been waiting in the blacksmith shop a long time ago, but his father never allowed him to open the wardrobe, and even locked the wardrobe specially, so Yang Xuanzhu's father was very curious about this, but he did not dare to risk opening the closet.

Seeing this, Liu Xing told what he found in the blacksmith shop.

"It seems that the items in the wardrobe may be very important to the snake people in Yingzui Mountain. These snake people have tried to steal this item many years ago, but due to various reasons Unable to do so, Yang Xuanzhu's grandfather may have never left Tailai Village because of this item. It seems that this item is not suitable for long-distance movement." Ding Kun analyzed.

Zhang Wenbing on the side nodded and said: "In that case, the identity of Yang Xuanzhu's grandfather is not simple. How could an ordinary person hide such an important thing at home, and also compete with the snake man... But... Having said that, Liu Xing, your friend is not simple either."

Liu Xing sighed and said firmly: "Yes, so I have to have a good chat with him when I get back."

At this time, Zhang Jingxu opened a new page, "I think it is more convenient for me to read the content directly to you. It is too troublesome for a group of people to gather together to read it. The content of this page of the diary is similar to that of the previous page. Basically, Yang Xuanzhu’s father thought that his home was often visited by thieves, but his belongings were never lost, so Yang Xuanzhu’s father felt very strange, so he made some simple traps and placed them around to see if he could catch them. Thief, Yang Xuanzhu’s father discovered that the trap had been activated that day. However, Yang Xuanzhu’s father only found a scale next to the trap. This scale was much larger than fish scales, and its texture was very hard. He couldn’t even use a kitchen knife to cause it. Scratches.”

"It's indeed a snake man." Yin En couldn't help but say.

Zhang Jingxu nodded and continued: "As a result, Yang Xuanzhu's grandfather discovered this scale and confiscated it directly. He also warned Yang Xuanzhu's father not to set traps near his home to avoid causing unnecessary trouble. , and then Yang Xuanzhu’s father was sent to and from school in those days. It seems that Yang Xuanzhu’s grandfather was afraid that those snake people would retaliate, but this shows that Yang Xuanzhu’s grandfather is indeed somewhat capable, otherwise he would not dare to come forward to protect himself. His son, after all, he should know the capabilities of the snake man. If he were just an ordinary person, he would be giving away his life by doing this."

"So do you Chinese Taoists have any impression of Yang Xuanzhu's grandfather?" Yin En asked.

Zhang Jingxu shook his head and said helplessly: "We went to investigate the identity of Grandpa Yang Xuanzhu at the beginning, and we only found that Grandpa Yang Xuanzhu may have used a false identity, because it was not listed in the various official lists of people going up and down the mountain. There is no grandfather of Yang Xuanzhu, but there is no information about him in the list of Chinese Taoists, so Brother Zhang and I thought at the time that he was a fanatical believer of the Snake Man, but now it seems that we were wrong."

At this time, Zhang Wenbing shook his mobile phone and said: "I originally planned to call an acquaintance and check the identity of Grandpa Yang Xuanzhu, but I found that the current mobile phone signal has gone to zero, even the emergency call We can’t even call out, it seems that the signal to Tailai Village has been cut off by the snake people.”

Liu Xing was just about to say whether he should leave Tailai Village first and make a phone call, but he swallowed the words as soon as they reached his lips.

This feeling is quite amazing. . .

"By the way, Zhang Jingxu, does this diary mention that Yang Xuanzhu's father is Grandpa Yang Xuanzhu's biological son?" Ding Kun asked.

Zhang Jingxu nodded, flipped through the diary and said: "Yes, I remember there was a page in the diary that said that Yang Xuuzhu's father was ridiculed by his classmates, so he went to Yang Xuuzhu's grandfather to ask this question. As a result, Yang Xuuzhu's grandfather said that he was actually His biological son, but because Yang Xuanzhu’s grandparents met and fell in love with each other when they went to the mountains and countryside, Grandma Yang Xuanzhu, who unexpectedly had a child during that special period, had no choice but to be sent away by Yang Xuuzhu’s grandfather to avoid the limelight.”

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, I didn't expect that Yang Xuanzhu's grandfather was also a scumbag. His lover gave birth to a child for him, but he found a woman in Tailai Village to get married... Wait, let's put it this way, Yang Xuanzhu He probably didn't kill his grandfather's wife, because judging from the current situation, Yang Xuanzhu's grandfather probably wasn't that kind of person." Yin En said with a frown.

Zhang Jingxu nodded again and said seriously: "I thought so too, so I looked through this diary and found that Yang Xuanzhu's father also asked this question, and Yang Xuanzhu's grandfather answered like this at that time - Yang Xuanzhu back then My grandfather and his first wife just had a fake marriage, because the woman was already dead at the time. However, due to some special reasons, the woman had to give our old house to Yang Xuanzhu’s grandfather, so In order to keep his name, Yang Xuanzhu’s grandfather had no choice but to marry this woman as his wife.”

"This means that Yang Xuanzhu's grandfather should have taken over the responsibility of guarding that thing from that woman?" Liu Xing said: "It seems that the thing has been in Tailai Village for a long time, and those snakes The reason why people fled to Yingzui Mountain is probably because of this thing."

So, what is this thing?

At this moment, Liu Xing smelled the smell of ozone again, and this time the smell was stronger than last time.

Has Star Color come over? !

Liu Xing and others looked at each other, then left the room without hesitation and returned to the sunshine.

At this moment, a group of snake-men sprang out from the nearby woods.

The height of these snake people is only about 1.5 meters, but their bodies are very stooped, so Liu Xing estimates that their length should be close to three meters, so these snake people look very weird.

Although these snake people are still wearing cloaks, Liu Xing can see that the faces of these snake people look very old, and their exposed scales have many signs of dryness. In addition, they move faster than Liu Xing. Star expected it to be much slower.

It seems that these snake people should have also absorbed the vitality of the Star Color.

Liu Xing and others immediately took out their pistols and aimed at the snake men. Although these snake men only held a wooden staff, Liu Xing and others knew that these snake men were not close combat troops.

Just when Liu Xing was about to shoot, he suddenly discovered a problem, that is, the kp order had not yet announced that his group had entered the battle round.

According to the battle rules of the Cthulhu Running Group game hall, when those snake men come into the sight of Liu Xing and others, the kp order should announce the start of the battle round.

Unless these snake people are not hostile to their own group.

so. . .

Liu Xing immediately looked up at the sky and found that the color of stars was flying from not far away!

Just like the setting of Star Color, Liu Xing can't think of any adjectives for the color of Star Color, because it is a color Liu Xing has never seen before, a color that makes Liu Xing feel like he will be sucked into it at any time.

At this moment, kp order finally appeared, "Because all players have seen the true form of Star Color, and you have been affected by Star Color, so this time you will directly lose a certain amount of san value according to your own situation."

"Liu Xing, you will lose 1d2 san value."

Liu Xing, 1d2=1

Fortunately, it's Star Color.

Although the Star Color is a very scary mythical creature for players, players will only lose a small amount of sanity when they see the Star Color for the first time - they will not lose san value if they succeed, and they will lose 1d4 if they fail. san value.

Therefore, Star Color may be the one that makes players lose the least amount of sanity when they first see it among all mythical creatures (I think it should be, please leave a message if you have any objections).

As for the reason why Xingzhicai dropped such a small amount of sanity when he first saw it, Liu Xing estimated that it was because Xingzhicai had no entity and looked like a mass of constantly flowing colors. It had no deterrent effect at all from its appearance, so Xingzhicai For modern ordinary people, the first impression is CG or holographic projection.

However, when the player first sees the Star Color preying, he will also make a sanity test. If the sanity test is successful, he will lose 1 sanity point. If he fails, he will lose 1d8 sanity points.

So in general, the san value that Star Color makes players lose is not too little.

At this time, the snake people also discovered the Star Color, so they immediately fled in the other direction.

Fortunately, Star Color is still chasing those snake people.
