Real Cthulhu Running Game

   Chapter 1045 Orthographic Counting

   is too quiet.

   If something goes wrong, there must be a demon. This sentence can be said to be Liu Xing's biggest gain after entering the Cthulhu running group game hall, and Liu Xing has always regarded this sentence as his creed.

   So what kind of secrets are hidden in this quiet castle?

   Liu Xing felt that the mythical creatures hidden in this special module should appear.

"Everyone, be careful, the weeds on the other side of the house are too lush, maybe there will be snakes hidden in it." Liu Xing whispered: "I think in this mirage, there should be no snake venom serum. So we're going to be in trouble if we come across poisonous snakes."

  Li Hanxing laughed, raised the spear in his hand and said, "Then let me take the lead. I promise to let you know what it means to scare the snake."

   Li Hanxing took the lead in charging.

   The three of Liu Xing shook their heads and had to follow behind Li Hanxing. . . Of course, Alice still rode on a horse, because Liu Xing and others were very worried that there would be "horse thieves" here, and it would be very uncomfortable if the infantry beat the cavalry. . .

   Fighting grass to startle the snake is not false.

  Li Hanxing just scratched the grass with a spear casually, and Liu Xing saw several colorful long snakes fled away in shock. Logically speaking, such brightly colored snakes should be poisonous.

   In addition to snakes, Liu Xing also saw a few mice running around in the grass. It really deserves to be a nest of snakes and mice.

   But when he saw the mouse, Liu Xing subconsciously thought of the human-faced mouse.

   To be honest, the atmosphere between the human-faced mouse and the abandoned castle is quite suitable.

"It seems that this castle has been abandoned for a long time. It has become a paradise for wild animals. I think that even if there is anything left in these houses before, it should have been given to these mice now. It's almost broken." Alice said.

Liu Xing nodded and said a little helplessly: "It should be so, it seems that we can only pan for sand in the waves, pan for gold in the sand, if there is nothing to gain, we should just pass the time, after all, we don't know now. Are those people in the main castle members of the public faction?"

   After talking, Liu Xing and others came to the first wooden house.

This wooden house seems to have a large area and has a lot of windows, so Liu Xing and others can clearly see that there are many single wooden beds in this wooden house, and there are quilts and pillows on the beds, but these quilts The pillows all looked tattered and some of the quilt pillows had mushrooms growing on them.

"There's something wrong, Alice, didn't you say that the former owner of this castle was forced to give up the castle because of the family's downfall? But from the situation in this wooden house, the people here are more like sudden We left this castle together, and didn't even bring my own bedding." Sun Huiwen said with a little doubt.

Liu Xing thought for a while, nodded and said: "Sun Huiwen is right, if I remember correctly, ancient people basically brought their own bedding when they went to work or went to work in other places, because most inns and the host's house are different. Futons will be provided, so futons were considered personal belongings in ancient times. When the original staff in this castle were dismissed, they should not leave their personal belongings here, unless they were in a hurry to leave. Yes Being driven out of the castle by others."

At this time, Alice also looked puzzled, shook her head and said: "According to Zum and the others, the original owner of this castle was because the previous owner accidentally fell into the river and disappeared. After missing for ten years, he was considered dead. And the title medal disappeared with the man, so the family was deprived of the title, and they naturally couldn't maintain the castle, so the family voluntarily gave up the castle, and the castle was also because no one was there. He was willing to take over and was restricted, and then directly rewarded it to Duke Gundogan; if this is the case, then the situation in this wooden house is indeed a bit strange, but there is still such a possibility to explain, that is, the idleness in the castle After that, a group of people occupied the magpie's nest."

   "Then let's go take a look first."

   Li Hanxing pushed open the wooden door as he spoke.

   As soon as the wooden door was opened, Liu Xing and others could smell an indescribable odor, including the smell of moldy wood and other items, as well as the smell of animal excrement.

   In addition, Liu Xing seemed to smell a strange floral fragrance.

   This kind of floral scent seems to be absent, and it is more difficult to enter the nose when other odors are set off.

"It shouldn't be, this wooden house has so many windows for ventilation, and it can get sunlight, it should not be so smelly in this room, and the most important thing is that we didn't smell so much outside the house just now. Great smell." Li Hanxing said while covering his nose.

   Hearing what Li Hanxing said, Liu Xing, who was walking at the end, subconsciously exited the room, only to find that the pervasive odor that was still surrounding him suddenly faded a lot.

   Liu Xing took another step forward, um, there is an inner taste.

   At this time, still riding on the horse, Alice, who was helping Liu Xing and others to look out for the wind, looked at Liu Xing a little strangely, not knowing what Liu Xing was doing by repeatedly jumping at the door.

Before Alice could ask, Liu Xing said with certainty: "There may be a problem with this wooden house, I basically can't smell the odor outside the door, but I can smell a very obvious smell just entering the door. It's like there is an invisible barrier at the door, blocking the odor in the room."

   Hearing what Liu Xing said, Li Hanxing and Sun Huiwen also came out and tried it, and found that it was true.

"It's interesting, it shouldn't be formed naturally, so I think someone must have done it on purpose, but what is he doing this for? Or is there something in this wooden house?" Li Han Xing touched his chin and said, "Forget it, let's continue to go in and search. Alice, you can help us look outside. If you find anything unusual, let us know as soon as possible, and we will leave this room as soon as possible."

   At the same time, Sun Huiwen took out a pack of masks and gloves from his backpack and distributed them to the crowd.

  After wearing the masks, Liu Xing and the three entered the wooden house again and began to search the wooden house.

Judging from the furnishings in the wooden house, it should indeed be a collective dormitory, with about twenty people living there, so in addition to the single wooden beds, there are several tables lined up. There are rough wooden cups and bamboo cups, as well as several open bottles of wine.

etc!

   Liu Xing took a closer look and found that the wines were all in glass bottles.

  Although the invention of glass can be traced back to a long time ago, the appearance of glass bottles had to wait until the invention and perfection of the glass blowing process, so it was impossible for glass bottles to appear in the Middle Ages.

   Liu Xing stepped forward quickly, picked up a bottle and looked at it.

  Although there is no label on the bottle, Liu Xing still found the production date and batch information on the bottom of the bottle.

   Apparently, these bottles were probably brought in from restaurant "5".

   Liu Xing quickly told Li Hanxing and others about the discovery.

"This place is indeed the most difficult mirage. I didn't expect that there would be so many different main quests, or quest storylines." Li Hanxing said seriously: "If there is no accident, some outsiders may have been assigned before. When they got to this castle, the task they needed to complete should be to help the original owner of the castle retrieve the title and medal, but unfortunately they should have failed."

On the side, Sun Huiwen shook his head and said, "That's not necessarily true, but I think there used to be a group of thieves in the timeline before this mirage. When these guys saw that there was no one in this castle, they would occupy the magpie's nest and put it here. It was used as a temporary base for them, and these bottles were probably stolen from some outsiders, after all, this is still medieval times, and bottles like this still look very precious."

Seeing Li Hanxing and Sun Huiwen who were both unconvinced by each other, Liu Xing shook his head and said, "Anyway, this place should be related to the outsiders who entered this mirage before us, and these outsiders are all from modern times. The important thing is that the people who once lived here should have disappeared suddenly for special reasons, or escaped, so we have to continue to search and find enough evidence to prove our guess."

   After Liu Xing finished speaking, he continued to check other parts of the wooden house.

It didn't take long for Liu Xing to make another discovery, that is, on the wall beside a single wooden bed, someone carved three "positive" characters using the "positive" counting method. .

   "Fifteen days? This group of players stayed here for fifteen days?"

   Liu Xing touched his chin and decided to find out some other developments before telling Li Hanxing and the two about it, because just these three "positive" characters can't infer anything.

   After searching for a circle like this, Liu Xing set his sights on the quilts on those beds.

   To be honest, Liu Xing really didn’t want to turn over these bedclothes that had become indescribable, but Liu Xing’s subconscious had been urging Liu Xing to turn over these beddings, because there were real clues hidden in these beddings.

   So, Liu Xing could only take a deep breath. . . As a result, I almost suffocated because of wearing a mask.

   When Liu Xing opened the quilt closest to him, he found a broken electronic watch, and the position of the electronic watch was just the position where the left hand is placed when a person is lying down normally.

   Seeing this, a picture appeared in Liu Xing's mind - a person wearing an electronic watch was resting on the bed, but he suddenly disappeared, leaving only the electronic watch still lying in the bed.

   But why only one electronic watch is left? Does this person like to be free when he sleeps, not bound by any external things?

   Liu Xing was thinking, and turned over another quilt next to him, only to find an identical electronic watch, and the position of this electronic watch was the right hand of the person when he was lying down.

   Could it be that this is a couple's electronic watch, so the couple is wearing it according to the male left and the female right?

   But from the design of this electronic watch, it doesn't look like a couple's watch? And one thing to say, these two electronic watches do not seem to have any traces of design, they are just a dial with several function buttons next to them.

   Just when Liu Xing was thinking about the connection between the two electronic watches, Li Hanxing on one side also opened the quilt beside him.

   "Huh? Liu Xing, come here, I also found a watch here."

   Hearing Li Hanxing say this, Liu Xing immediately walked over and found that the electronic watch in Li Hanxing's hand was exactly the same as the two electronic watches he found.

   Liu Xing thought for a while, and immediately opened another quilt, but there was also an electronic watch under the quilt.

At this time, Sun Huiwen also came over with an electronic watch, frowned and said: "First of all, let's rule out a wrong option - this group of outsiders who entered the mirage bought a batch of electronic watches, and when they came in, they all put it on."

"This should be unlikely, because the production time recorded under the wine bottles is after 2012, so it sounds like this kind of minimalist retro style, and the ugly point is that there is no sense of design in electronic watches. It is difficult to have a market in this period, let alone being able to fool so many people with it; I think this should be a timer issued by Mirage to outsiders, or a task release device, so these people are due to some When the reason disappeared, these electronic watches, no, this electronic product is here to stay.”

   "It seems that this Mirage is a bit of fun to play. It has prepared so many completely different game modes, which is a bit different from other Mirages." Li Hanxing frowned.

Liu Xing thought for a while, then sighed and said: "Let's collect all the electronic watches first, and then we will check together whether these electronic watches can be used normally, but these electronic watches can be regarded as proof. There used to be a bunch of outsiders like us here."

  So, Liu Xing and the three continued to lift the quilt, and sure enough, they found an electronic watch on each single wooden bed. . . Except that Liu Xing had previously found a single wooden bed with three "positive" characters carved on the side wall.

Liu Xing called Li Hanxing and Sun Huiwen over again, "If nothing else, this person should be the last lucky one in this group of outsiders, but I'm a little confused about these three right now. 'What does the word represent? It seems likely that it represents fifteen days, but I always feel that this matter is not so simple. Maybe these three 'positive' words represent other meanings."
