Real Cthulhu Running Game

"The goal of this exploration mission is to find a magic book. This magic book is said to be written by the most famous onmyoji of our island country, Abe Keimei. It clearly records Abe Keimei's experiences in the early stages of his career and the spells he mastered. Therefore, the value of this magic book is very high, but the most important thing is that this magic book may record a treasure place." Takeda Hiroyu said seriously: "The legend about this treasure place has not been spread among the people. , so only some big families at the time knew that there was a secret church that believed in the deep divers and got a batch of treasures. These treasures were said to be given to them by Dagon, the leader of the deep divers. As a result, the secret church was because of There was a conflict with a nearby daimyo, so that daimyo sent troops to annihilate it."

"But before they were wiped out, those treasures were hidden elsewhere by the secret church. Since then, these treasures have disappeared. The surrounding famous names have tried to search for them in their own territories, but they still found nothing; but after many years Later, when an onmyoji who was on night shift at Onmyoji passed by Abe Keimei's room, he heard Abe Keimei chatting with a good friend of his. During the period, Abe Keimei mentioned that Abe Keimei had known that the treasures were hidden there a long time ago, but because of That treasure trove was too dangerous, so he never told anyone else and just wrote it down in a diary."

Liu Xing nodded, it seems that this is still a series of side tasks.

If my group can find the magic book written by Abe Seimei, and if there is really a treasure place recorded in it, then my group will definitely continue to look for that treasure place.

However, the contribution of this side mission reward should not be small, and it may even involve crucial victory points.

So Liu Xing said without hesitation: "In that case, let us go find this magic book..."

But before Liu Xing finished speaking, Ding Kun on the side suddenly said: "I have a question to ask. Strictly speaking, that magic book is Abe Keimei's diary when he was young, so this magic book Why is he living outside? Shouldn't this be in the hands of Abe Seimei's family? After all, Abe Seimei's family can be said to be aloof from the world, so it has always stood firm and has never declined."

This is indeed a problem.

As Zhang Jingxu said, Abe Keimei's descendants have always worked in the island country's official Yin-Yang Liao, and Yin-Yang Liao, as a special institution similar to the Chinese Taoism, is in a state of absolute neutrality at all times, so this Although the power of the island country has been constantly changing for hundreds of years, Onnyangliao has not been greatly affected, and Abe Seimei's family has always been safe.

Therefore, as a diary of Abe Keimei's youth, it stands to reason that it is impossible to live outside now.

Takeda Hiroyu also guessed that someone would ask this question, so he answered directly: "The thing is like this. At that time, Abe Keaki was slaying demons and demons in Heian Kyo, and he quickly made a name for himself, thus attracting many myths. Attention of the Creatures and Secret Church, and Meteor, you should also be very clear that the so-called Yin Yang magic and the magic used by those mythical creatures and fanatic believers actually come from the same source. It can be said that there is almost no difference, so there is an unconventional one. The secret church took a different approach and wanted to steal some spells from Abe Keimei for his own use, so the diary of Abe Keimei’s youth was stolen.”

It turns out there is still such an operation.

"So where is this magic book now?" Yin En asked.

Takeda Hiroyu took a sip of water and said with some worry: "Based on the clues we got, it has been determined that this magic book should be in a place called Sayama Town in Toyama Prefecture, because there is an abandoned shrine called Kuromei there. , and the secret church that stole the magic book believed in a god named Heiming."

"It's Toyama County." Liu Xing frowned and said, "Toyama County is located in the middle of Tokyo and Osaka, and the distance between Tokyo and Osaka is almost the same. This means that Toyama County is located in the middle of the war between the samurai faction and the public faction. On the front line, and if I remember correctly, Toyama Prefecture is still in a neutral state and has not yet decided which way to turn."

Takeda Hiroyu nodded and said helplessly: "Yes, because Toyama County is on the central axis of power between the samurai faction and the public faction, both factions have tried to win over local powerful figures. As a result, Toyama County is still in the middle A state of uncertainty, and I heard that both our military faction and the opposite public faction have sent many people to lurk in Toyama County. When Mr. Shimazu announces the start of the public war, Toyama County There will definitely be a bloody storm, and Toyama County may become a battlefield, or it may become a buffer zone, so if you, Meteor, accept this exploration mission, you may encounter people from the public faction in Toyama County. "

It turns out that this is still a confrontational side mission.

When they heard that this side mission took place in Toyama County, Liu Xing and others realized that this module was most likely a confrontation module. Because Toshan County is between the public faction and the Wu family faction, the two factions The players arrived at the mission location at almost the same time.

Of course, the premise is that at this time, players from the public faction also receive this side mission.

Without further ado.

These four words suddenly appeared in Liu Xing's mind.

"Sayama Town is located in the mountainous area in the southern part of Toyama Prefecture. Because the island nation's population has been flowing to big cities in recent years, the population of Sayama Town is only a dozen households. Almost no outsiders stay in Sayama Town all year round, so If you really want to accept this exploration mission, you can take some remote routes into Zuoshan Town, so that you can avoid close contact with people from the public faction. This is also the reason why I wanted to accept this exploration mission myself in the first place, because the people behind me Those ghouls don't follow the usual path." Takeda Hiroyu continued.

Liu Xing nodded and asked Zhang Jingxu and others: "Do we want to accept this exploration mission?"

"I think we can accept this exploration mission. After Miyin and the others finish their meeting, we can go to Toyama County after telling Miyin. By then, it will only take a day or two in Sayama Town to confirm the book. Is the magic book in Heimei Shrine?" Yin En said seriously.

"I agree with Yin En. As long as we go to Toyama County as soon as possible to complete the mission, we should not encounter people from the public faction, and even if we meet people from the public faction, their number should not be much more than us. After all, It is impossible for everyone to make a big deal about something like this and send a large team of dozens of people to handle it." Ding Kun nodded.

In the Cthulhu Running Game Hall, four to six people are recognized by players as the optimal team size, because in general, the number of modules is more than three, so a three-person team is easy to match in the module. to unfamiliar teammates; and the difficulty of the modules in the Cthulhu Run game lobby has always been linked to the number of people, so after many players summarized it, it was found that the difficulty of the seven-player module is generally extremely difficult, while the difficulty of the six-player module It is difficult.

Judging from the current situation, there should be no team of players who want to share their side tasks with other teams, especially side tasks with good rewards like this, so Liu Xing and others can be sure that their team will participate in this side task. You should not encounter teams from multiple public factions, so the numbers on both sides should be almost equal.

Ever since, Liu Xing and others received this side mission from Takeda Hiroyu.

At this moment, Sawada Yaon also came to the lounge, and Takeda Hiroyu also left first with good sense.

After a brief exchange, Sawada Yaon strongly supported the actions of Liu Xing and others, "In the meeting just now, in order to prevent some families or secret churches from not working hard, we decided to set up an internal point The system measures the contribution of each family and secret church to the martial arts faction, so the tasks issued by Takeda Hiroyu and his dispatch office are the most basic channels for obtaining points, and completing exploration tasks is the best way for us to obtain points. After all, we only have so many people."

For those families and secret churches with more available manpower, they only need to send low-level members to accept defense tasks to gain a lot of points. However, the Sawada family only has so few available manpower, and Sawada Yaon must also Having to stay in Osaka, Chen Fuping cannot always follow Liu Xing and others, and Sonoda Juri is not considered a combatant at all.

As for Lu Tianya, Zhang Jingxu had long asked him to stay in Osaka in the name of "protecting Juri Sonoda". After all, there would definitely be a large number of casualties on both sides in the battle, so Zhang Jingxu did not dare to take Lu Tianya with him.

So in the end, only Liu Xing and the five members of the Zetian family can stand up and gain points. . . To put it bluntly, it is contribution.

Therefore, Sonoda Zhuri strongly agreed with Liu Xing and others to complete this exploration mission.

As a result, Liu Xing and others left the TV station and drove to Toyama County.

Not long after Liu Xing and others left downtown Osaka, Shimazu Nakano's voice came from the car radio.

The battle between public and military officials has officially begun!

I don’t know if it was the bad taste of the Cthulhu Run Game Hall, but after Shimazu Nakano started to speak, there was a continuous thunder in the sky.

"At this time, the island country's network has exploded. Although there has been no armed conflict between the Kansai and Kanto regions, both sides have established provisional parliaments immediately, and all major cities have entered a state of martial law. Even Tokyo and Osaka has announced a short-term curfew," Yin En said.

"What about the situation over at Masayoshi Muto?" Ding Kun, who was driving, asked.

Yin En sighed, shrugged and said: "Muto Masayoshi's situation is not optimistic. After all, the martial arts faction and the public faction are now directly overturning the table. He, an outsider, is now very embarrassed. But fortunately, Muto Masayoshi may The news was received in advance, so he is conducting activities in Toyama City today."

"It's fate. I didn't expect Ryuzaki and the others to be in Toyama County, but Toyama City is not our destination, so it seems we have no way to meet them..."

Before Zhang Jingxu finished speaking, Yin En's cell phone rang.

Yin En raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "It seems that we still have a chance to meet Ryuzaki and the others, because Yaon sent me a message right now, saying that Shimazu Nakano and the others felt that Muto Masayoshi was important to the martial arts faction. There is still some use value, and our relationship with Ryuzaki is pretty good, so Shimadzu Nakano and others issued a temporary mission to us, that is, if there is a chance, we will bring Muto Masayoshi and others to Osaka, but this The priority of the temporary task is not as high as that of the exploration task."

It seems that Shimadzu Nakano and the others are not too concerned about Muto Masayoshi.

Because Osaka is only more than 300 kilometers away from Toyama County, it didn't take long for Liu Xing and others to reach Sayama Town.

As Hiroyu Takeda said before, Sayama Town, located in the mountains, has almost become a ghost town, because among the dozens of street shops in the center of the town, only one convenience store is still open, and the street Except for Liu Xing and his party, there was no living creature.

"Come on, this town is so quiet and scary. I almost thought we were filming a doomsday-themed movie." Yin En couldn't help complaining.

Just as Yin En said, the only sound around now is the footsteps of his group.

Liu Xing shrugged and said: "Such towns are actually very common in island countries, because the population of island countries has basically flowed into big cities. After all, the conditions in big cities are better, so many of them are located in remote places and have their own problems." The town without any characteristics continued to lose its population, and eventually there were only some old people left who were unwilling to leave. Therefore, there should be only some old people left in Zuoshan Town now, and the old people originally liked to be quiet and did not like to move, so It’s normal to have no sound now.”

Ding Kun on the side also nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, many unknown cities in the island country are slowly turning into empty cities. After all, almost all the labor force goes to big cities such as Tokyo and Osaka. These lost labor forces Cities have lost their future; however, this is also a new problem faced by countries around the world. The phenomenon of empty cities has appeared in many countries, especially those cities dominated by the mining industry, because the depletion of minerals has caused the income of nearby residents to plummet. After a series of chain reactions, residents were forced to leave their homes. When I was in the three northeastern provinces, I visited many empty cities. When I walked there, I really thought I was in the end of the world."

At this time, Zhang Wenbing suddenly stopped and asked seriously: "So, what shall we eat later?"
