Real Cthulhu Running Game

  Chapter 1092 Tickets to Upgrade Modules

"I believe everyone can guess what happened next. Miskatonic University organized a number of investigation teams to conduct a detailed investigation of Professor Frank's laboratory, and the result was still nothing, but the interesting thing is that Professor Frank and his students Each of us left one thing in the laboratory, for example, this notebook in my hand was left in the laboratory by Eric, and Professor Frank left a solid gold pen, this one. The pen was given to him many years ago by his deceased wife, so this pen has now been returned to Professor Frank's eldest daughter by Miskatonic University, and other things left by other students are basically the same. It's the cherished things they carry with them, such as the gift from their other half, or the small jewelry they got in the first lottery." Shimadzu Nakano said seriously.

Hearing this, Liu Xing knew that this was a very classic Cthulhu story - a mysticism professor obtained a very mysterious thing through a certain way, so he called his students to conduct research, and the results were in the research process. Either a powerful mythical creature was summoned, or a door to an unknown world was opened. In short, these people either voluntarily or were forced to go to another world.

   But what makes Liu Xing interesting is that these people left their "important things" behind before they disappeared.

In the Cthulhu run game, the player's character card has an optional item that is an important item, and this "important item" is a double-edged sword. A life reminder; however, in the Cthulhu running group game hall, the player's character cards are randomly generated by the system, so these character cards are optional at the beginning of "important items", "important people", etc. The items are blank. Only as players continue to participate in the mod to increase their experience, these optional items will be perfected one by one.

Of course, if you want to turn one of your props into an "important item" so that you can carry it with you, then you need to use this prop in every mod, and it's best It is to use this item at a very important time, so that this item will become your "important item", so that even if this item of yours is a prohibited item in some mods, you can also There is a way to bring this item into the mod.

Therefore, there are many posts in the forum that they are too utilitarian. "Important items" are all kinds of props. Unlike NPCs, they only put some commemorative things for themselves. as an important item.

   Therefore, Liu Xing now has a guess - Eric is most likely a player, and Professor Frank and the other students are NPCs.

  Although Eric uses this notebook to record a lot of things, this notebook is not a diary for recording daily life, so if Eric is an NPC, then this notebook cannot be his "important item".

If this is the case, then the story of Cthulhu is actually a mod that has ended, but this mod is also very special. At the last moment, it also allows players and NPCs to leave their most important things in this world, and Eric must have kept this notebook for some reason.

  Thinking of this, just as Liu Xing was about to say something, he noticed that the expressions of Yin En and Ding Kun were a bit wrong.

   Sure enough, this notebook is a bit unusual.

   It's a pity that I haven't recovered my player status yet, so I can't immediately know what's so special about this notebook.

   But Liu Xing was not idle either, and took advantage of this opportunity to give Sawada Yayin a wink.

Sawada Yayin understood and said with a smile: "No wonder Mr. Nakano, you arranged for your nephew to take such a big risk to get this notebook. It turns out that this notebook has such a big background. You must know the mystery of Miskatonic University. It can be said that the profession is the number one in the world, even if all of us present together may not know much about this Eric, so the content recorded in his notebook should be very valuable."

   "Yes, many of the contents recorded in this notebook have opened my eyes. You must know that I have been reading this notebook since I entered this ward."

As Sawada Nakano said, he handed the notebook in his hand to Sawada Yain, "If Miss Sawada is willing to help me, then this notebook is the deposit given to you by our Shimadzu family. Whether things are going well, our Shimadzu family will give you some good things from the Sawada family, such as the last ten cards recorded in this notebook."

  Ten cards?

   Element Perception!

   Liu Xing involuntarily put his eyes on the notebook, and then glanced at Yin En and Ding Kun, while Yin En and Ding Kun nodded slightly.

   Seeing this, Liu Xing probably knew what the function of this notebook was.

   This should be the pass to Miskatonic University!

   Or it is a necessary item to open the promotion module!

   It seems that this notebook must be obtained.

  Although he was already a little excited, Liu Xing was still acting as a water drinking machine with a blank face, because the protagonists of today's transaction were Shimadzu Nakano and Sawada Yain.

   So, it all depends on Sawada Yayin's performance.

  Sawada Yaine took the diary and opened the notebook, and the expression on his face suddenly became serious.

This made Liu Xing and the three all have some surprises, because Sawada Yayin is not very old, but as a talented girl, humanoid mythical creature, Sawada Yayin is also well-informed, especially after getting to know Taketori , Sawada Yayin has heard some "ancient secrets" from Bamboo Tori.

   So, to be able to make Sawada Yayin put on a serious expression, it seems that the content recorded in this notebook is more high-end and atmospheric than Liu Xing and the three imagined.

   Could it involve a certain old ruler?

   Liu Xing couldn't help but glanced at the notebook in Sawada Yayin's hand, and found that there was a sketch map on the page that Sawada Yayin casually opened, and some important facilities were also marked on it, such as the palace or something.

etc.

   Liu Xing frowned, and found that this map, which looked a little scribbled, seemed a little familiar. To be precise, the outline of this area on the map seemed familiar.

  Ziwu City!

Liu Xing thought about it carefully and found that this map is almost identical to Ziwu City in terms of outline, and some important facilities marked on this map can also be identified with some areas in Ziwu City, such as the Imperial Palace. The archaeological area on the outskirts of Ziwu City, the shrine corresponds to the Shenwu Shrine in Ziwu City.

   But when it comes to Kanna Shrine, Liu Xing couldn't help but think of Kanna Ryoko, and he didn't know if Kanna Ryoko could go out to help his group now. . . Nine times out of ten, this is impossible, because the Cthulhu running group game hall will not let Ryoko Kanamura come out to break the balance. After all, Ryoko Kanamura already belongs to a demigod-level human NPC in Liu Xing's view, and his strength should be equal to Dagon is a rank, higher than that of an ancient **** who did not want to be named.

Thinking of this, Liu Xing suddenly realized one thing, that is, this place in Ziwu City is really Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, and the NPCs in it are more buggy, such as Sawada Miyin and Otonashi Takuya, and those who have already received their lunch boxes. Miyageichi is a humanoid mythical creature, and some other NPCs who are just running around are not that bad. As for Sawada Tomohiko, it is a bug-level existence that can damage 999 with one knife. Ryoko Kanna and King Tindalos who exist in other time and space are A BOSS-level character that is infinitely close to the old ruler.

   So there are so many powerful NPC mods, how can it be just an ordinary mod in the ghoul area?

   This is like a movie with many movie stars and actresses joining in, and it ends up being released on only one video site. Isn’t this a joke?

   It seems that there is an untriggered mod hidden in Ziwu City, a mod that only players in the Cthulhu area can trigger.

   And the trigger condition of this mod may be this notebook, because as long as there is no accident, that stick figure map is the painted kingdom of Tindalos.

But the problem comes again. The Kingdom of Tindalos is just a play of the King of Tindalos, so it is a kingdom. In fact, the area is a little bigger, and the population may not exceed 100,000. Therefore, the Kingdom of Tindalos is only It is recorded in the local county annals of Ziwu City, and even most ordinary citizens of Ziwu City may only know the name of the Kingdom of Tindalos by now.

   So why did Eric draw a map of the kingdom of Tindalos in his notebook? He heard about the Kingdom of Tindalos from there, and how did he know how to draw the map of the Kingdom of Tindalos?

   Liu Xing doesn't think Eric is just doodles.

"Miss Sawada, it seems that your luck is really good. You turned over the records about the Kingdom of Tindalos; I'll tell the truth here, I just learned that your Sawada family joined the Wu family. After the faction, I started to investigate the situation of your Sawada family, and then I learned about the legend of the Kingdom of Tindalos. By the way, I also heard the story about the ancestor of your Sawada family, Tomohiko Sawada, so when I saw this page I decided to use this notebook as a deposit, because I know Miss Sawada, after reading this page, you will not refuse to cooperate with our Shimadzu family." Shimadzu Nakano said confidently.

Sawada Yayin sighed, closed the notebook and said, "Yes, I really have no way to give up this notebook now, because this notebook is very important to our Sawada family, so Mr. Nakano, if you can promise not to use this notebook If the contents of the notebook about the Kingdom of Tindalos are published, then our Sawada family is willing to cooperate with your Shimadzu family's actions."

   Hearing Sawada Yayin say this, Liu Xing and the three were all surprised. They didn't expect Sawada Yayin to value this notebook so much.

"Of course, I know very well how important the content of this notebook about the Kingdom of Tindalos is to your Sawada family, so I can assure you, Miss Sawada, that I will not transfer any content in this notebook. It was revealed to others, but I have to make one point here first. I can only guarantee that in the current military faction, I am the only one who sees this notebook, but the public faction is controlling my unfortunate nephew. After that, I can't guarantee how many people have read this notebook, because this notebook is just an ordinary notebook after all, unlike those magic books that can be checked by spell marks to see if it has been read by others." Island. Tsunakano said with a serious face.

Sawada Yatone nodded and said, "I understand, but I also want to know why you bought this notebook, Mr. Nakano? According to what I know about Miskatonic University, they should put these in the first place. The items were returned to the families of the missing persons."

"That's right, Miskatonic University returned the notebook to Eric's brother immediately after confirming that there was no problem with the notebook, because Eric's brother is also studying at Miskatonic University, but He majored in computer science, so Eric's brother has a very normal relationship with his rambunctious younger brother, even a little repulsive, because Eric often brings back some things that make him feel very uncomfortable. At home, so Eric's brother decided to sell this notebook after he got it."

"Because the occult department of Miskatonic University is very famous, there is a bar near Miskatonic University that is very famous, this bar only allows occult lovers who have passed their test to enter, of course the mystery of Miskatonic University The students and professors of the department are all super VIPs of this bar. They can not only enter without test, but also free of consumption. The most important thing is that the owner of this bar often takes out the occult items he finds for exhibition or even auction. Over time, the bar became a dedicated flea market."

"So, Eric's brother took Eric's notebook and some occult items that Eric put in the dormitory to the bar to sell, and soon one person bought them all. And this person happens to be a friend of mine; although this friend of mine is an ordinary person, he is very interested in the occult, so he often goes to the bar to buy some very high-looking occult items, so in the After hearing about Eric, he bought everything with a wave of his hand, and then gave me a video call and asked me to help him identify the authenticity of these things."
