Real Cthulhu Running Game

"All in all, it would be difficult for my cousin to have any interaction with this visiting son-in-law, especially when no one else knew about it. That's why my cousin's parents found someone to call me back because they suspected this visiting son-in-law. There is something wrong with my son-in-law!”

Yang Qi said seriously: "If it's just that the son-in-law who came to the door fell in love at first sight and would rather give up everything to marry my cousin, then I can understand it as a player, because sometimes people are like this, and they tend to secrete a lot of blood when they fall in love at first sight. Hormones, and hormones will put the person in a state where the brain is not working well, and thus do some things that are a bit unbelievable and incomprehensible to outsiders... For example, when I first saw my wife When I was there, I confessed my feelings directly because I fell in love at first sight. You know, I am a relatively introverted person in the eyes of my friends."

Looking at the slightly puzzled expressions of everyone, Yang Qi smiled bitterly and said: "Before entering the Cthulhu Running Group game hall, I was really an introverted person. I just played with my friends for a whole Sunday, and I probably couldn't even speak. The kind of person who has more than a hundred sentences, as for when he was in school, he could not say a word all day long, he only had to turn around and shake his head; so in a sense, it can be regarded as a change in the Cthulhu Running Group Game Hall It forced me to become extroverted, because if I didn’t, it would be easy to get stuck.”

I see.

Liu Xing understands Yang Qi's statement very well, because in the Cthulhu Run game lobby, introverted players basically do not exist. After all, as long as you are in the module, you need to constantly communicate in order to obtain and communicate. Intelligence, so as to deduce useful clues for oneself, and the objects of communication include KP in addition to teammates and NPCs, so there must be different methods when facing different communication objects.

Therefore, in the Cthulhu Running Game Hall, if you are so introverted that you don’t like to talk, you are likely to be rejected by other players, because most of the modules in the Cthulhu Running Game Hall have A common template is that players need to collect various clues in the early stage of the module to reduce the difficulty of the later stage of the module. The most common situation is to collect clues to determine what the mythical creatures in the module are, so that Make some targeted arrangements.

So in a game like the Cthulhu Running Game Hall that focuses on communication, if you as a player can't say a word for a long time, your teammates will decisively abandon you, because you are to them A burden, even a leech that only sucks blood.

Therefore, except for some players with "autism" status on their character cards, other players, no matter how introverted they are in the real world, will turn into sunny and cheerful boys in the Cthulhu Run game lobby.

"Ahem, let's get back to the topic now. Although I admit that the NPC who wanted to be the son-in-law might have done something we couldn't understand because of love at first sight, but the problem is that his conditions are really That's great! Because after I went back, I also tested his abilities and found that his martial arts are very good, at least better than mine. Moreover, he is also very understanding of people and the world, and he directly exposed a flaw when I was about to lose. , allowing me to turn defeat into victory.”

Yang Qi said with a puzzled look: "It is precisely because of this incident that I feel that this person is a bit extraordinary, because no matter what his original family conditions are, just relying on this skill and the reputation of his master, if he If you want to be a son-in-law, you can find one with better conditions in Liangcheng; here I will give an analogy that may not be appropriate, that is, this NPC's test scores could have stably entered a second university, but now he directly He came here to study in a junior college, which is obviously very abnormal."

"Well, I remember that some junior colleges are quite good. At least in terms of employment and development, they may be better than some ordinary second-tier universities or even first-tier universities. However, the admission threshold of these junior colleges is also quite high." Dong Jing said seriously said.

"Uh, okay, you just understand what I mean. Anyway, I don't think my cousin is that good. She can only be said to be average in all aspects, but she also has the beauty of Xiaojiabiyu."

Yang Qi shook his head and said still puzzled: "All in all, both me and other people in Yang's village feel that this door-to-door son-in-law is a bit abnormal, but my cousin is very optimistic about this young man. After all, his conditions are very good. , in today's Fei City, there are more people than he can count with two hands! So, Alliance Leader, if you can, please ask Yu Lei or Xia Fei to help me find out if there is such a person when they return to Liangcheng. , because I always feel that this guy may have lied, and he may not be an ordinary outer disciple."

"No problem, even if you don't tell me, I will investigate this person's situation, because what he did is really strange. Anyway, I can't understand why he did it now! If he just wants to marry you Cousin, that doesn’t mean he wants to be a son-in-law, right? So if he says he fell in love with your cousin at first sight, what will your cousin’s parents think?” Liu Xing asked curiously.

"Of course I support it with both hands. After all, such a good son-in-law doesn't have this shop after passing through this village."

Yang Qi said with certainty: "I just returned to Yangjia Village, and my uncle told me that this man is a bit strange. If he just wants to marry his daughter, then he should invite the whole village to It’s time to eat. After all, this kind of golden son-in-law is a rare existence for them; but as soon as this man came up, he said that he wanted to be a son-in-law, which made my uncle unable to deal with it. After all, his own My daughter doesn’t have a partner yet, so that person doesn’t have any competitive pressure.”

"Yang Qi, is there anything special about your cousin? For example, what kind of special physique? You know, our module this time is based on martial arts, and in various martial arts novels, the protagonist is some kind of century-old It is rare to find someone with a super physique, even once in a thousand years, so he can make rapid progress while practicing martial arts, and he can become the leader of the martial arts league at a young age?" Hongying asked.

"Probably not, right? Anyway, in the memory of my character card, this cousin of mine can really be described as ordinary. She has not encountered any strange things in the past ten years or so."

Yang Qi said that, but his voice became softer and softer, and at the end he even frowned, as if he remembered something.

As a result, Liu Xing and others became quiet, waiting for Yang Qi to figure something out.

After a while, Yang Qi finally spoke: "Ten years ago, my cousin once had a nightmare that lasted for several days. In her dream, she met a foreigner wearing a white robe. This foreigner was a foreigner. He was writing furiously in a room, and my cousin stood next to this foreigner and watched him write in a crooked way, like a tadpole. Although my cousin couldn't understand what he was writing, but he couldn't understand what he was writing. Can you vaguely feel what this means? According to her, it’s like communicating with body language, so my understanding may be completely right, or it may be completely wrong.”

Um?

Gentiles in white robes can also write tadpole essays?

Liu Xing subconsciously thought of a person, a human being with a good status in the Cthulhu mythology.

The author of "The Necronomicon"-Abdullah Alhassad!

No way? Is there such a person in this martial arts module?

"Ah, Yang Qi, this foreigner you are talking about is not the author of the "Necronomicon", right? He is a foreigner who wears white robes and writes like a tadpole! And the date when the "Necronomicon" was written It may also match the martial arts module this time. After all, it is all from ancient times, and the martial arts module this time also deliberately blurred the time, so that we cannot be sure about that century it took place."

Dong Qing reacted and said, "Of course, there are no mythical creatures or old rulers in this martial arts module, so the "Necronomicon" cannot appear in this module. Among them, the existence of warcraft and gods can be regarded as a reference to mythical creatures and old rulers to a certain extent, so it is normal for a book like "Fengshen Miscellaneous Notes" to appear; but I am still more inclined to This is an easter egg in the martial arts module, because as long as you are a player in the Cthulhu Run game lobby, you should be able to think of the author of the "Necronomicon" after hearing those few keywords."

"I agree with Dong Qing's idea that the "Necronomicon" should not exist in this martial arts module, but the foreigner Yang Qi's cousin saw in his dream is logically only possible. It's Alhassad... But the most important thing now is that Yang Qi's cousin seems to remember something, which is very important! So Yang Qi, if you are free tomorrow, no, probably today, let your cousin repeat it Take a look at what you saw."

Liu Xing touched his chin and said: "But according to what your cousin said, I now think of a very classic joke, which is a Taoist priest and a butcher playing riddles. After the two people made gestures, it seemed that they had an effective communication. The result is that the donkey's words are completely different from the horse's words, but two sets of seemingly reasonable arguments are still formed."

"Oh, I've heard of that joke too. It really matches what my cousin said at the time, so we might get some useful information, but we might also be led astray."

Yang Qi nodded, but still said doubtfully: "But this incident happened ten years ago, and not many people know about it, only some of my cousin's relatives and friends. In short, this incident The incident probably never happened in Yangjiacun, because everyone who knew about it laughed it off and thought it was just a dream."

"Yes, this is a strange dream for NPCs, but it is different for us players."

Hongying gave a slap and continued: "I have encountered a module before. The villain NPC in it can locate some people who have jigsaw dreams in a special way! The jigsaw dreams here are between me and One theory put forward by other players in that module is that the content of these dreams is like a treasure map, and when put together, you can know certain things; so we have reason to suspect that Yang Qi's cousin is one of them. Jigsaw puzzle, so strange people are attracted to her."

"Dream Interpreter!"

As soon as Hongying finished speaking, Yang De slapped his thigh and said, "I once heard of a profession called dream interpreter. I seemed to be a member of the Zhuzi Academy back then, but it was not an exact school, just a group of self-study people. People who enjoy themselves enjoy studying books such as "Dream Interpretation by Zhou Gong" as a hobby, so over time they claim to be dream interpreters; however, after that incident, these dream interpreters fell into silence, and later entered the world with other identities. Experience, but occasionally interpreting dreams for others.”

"But that's not the point. The point is that these dream interpreters can graft the dreams of two or even multiple people together! How to put it, the version I heard can turn a single-player game into an online game, that is, how many people can dream together? Individuals have the same dream, just like we can participate in the module together now; but this dream will be like ordinary dreams, not only intermittent, but also become blurry at certain times. It’s hard for those people to do anything, unless someone can do that kind of lucid dreaming.”

"So this kind of dream-linking technique, which is suspected to be a spell, is mainly used to allow other people to intuitively experience someone's dream. Its usefulness is still very limited, so it can be regarded as an entertainment activity, right? But I heard that some are very powerful A dream interpreter can directly read your dreams, and he can clearly see some content that you have forgotten or ignored! Of course, this is not the most powerful thing. The most powerful thing is that some dream interpreters Being able to infer other people’s dreams from one person’s dreams!”

"Are you saying that a dream interpreter inferred from other people's dreams that Yang Qi's cousin had such a dream, and that's why he came to visit her?"

Liu Xing frowned, stood up and said, "Since there is nothing else to do now, I will go back and chat with Yu Lei and the others first to see if they know about the existence of the Dream Interpreter!"

Yang Qi and others didn't say much, they just watched Liu Xing leave the Tutu Temple.

Fortunately, the Earth Temple was not far from Fei City, and there were still lights on in many places in Fei City at this time, so Liu Xing returned to the inn quickly and smoothly.

At this time, Xia Fei was the only one in the inn who was pouring himself a drink from a wine bottle, looking very chic.

Looking at Liu Xing walking in, Xia Fei said without looking back: "Yu Lei is still talking to Governor Han and may come back later, so A Peng, do you want to come for a drink?"
