Real Cthulhu Running Game

   Chapter 1632 Human Powerhouse

Just as Liu Xing was about to say something, Mobius said directly: "Mythical creatures of the level of Dagon and Hydra are only one step away from the old ruler, as long as they can cross that threshold, they will have a chance. They are on an equal footing with Cthulhu, so they are actually similar to some weaker Old Ones in terms of basic attributes, so they have their own resistance to some common damage, such as common knives, axes, fireballs, ice arrows Basically, it is impossible to break the defense, but the curse is different. Even the real Old Ones cannot guarantee that they will not be attacked; for example, Cthulhu, who has been sleeping for an unknown number of years, It's actually a sleep curse, so I suspect Dagon and Hydra are just being cursed."

   seems to make sense.

Liu Xing nodded and replied: "Well, I will not go to Dreamland for the time being, but I myself will not go to Dreamland during this time, because I have other modules to deal with. "

   "That's good, in fact, there are more dangers in the dreamland than Liu Xing you imagined. I almost capsized in the gutter at that time." Mobius said with lingering fears.

Liu Xing looked at Mobius with some surprise, because Mobius is a star, let alone other things, its various resistances are comparable, no, it should exceed most of the old **** After all, there is no entity that can be immune to most of the damage, so the existence that can pose a threat to the color of the stars, then it should be the level of Dagon.

"Liu Xing, you should know about Leng Yuan, right? I used the route of Leng Yuan to enter the dreamland, but when I just left Leng Yuan, I suddenly discovered that something was spying on me, that kind of feeling. It made me very uncomfortable, so I wanted to use my own characteristics to find trouble with this guy, but when I found this guy, I found that this guy turned out to be a human, but I can be sure that he is not Not a player."

Mobius said earnestly: "As an NPC, although I couldn't feel the stoppage of the judgment at that time, I could vaguely perceive something wrong, because I was basically dealing with NPCs. If you hit it, you will definitely hit it, but when you shoot at the player in the same situation, you feel that the shot that will definitely hit will be dodged by the opponent in some inexplicable way, so now I think that person must be an NPC , In addition to the above reason, I have a more important reason that this person is too strong."

  Mobius said while controlling a pen to write and draw on the paper. After a while, he handed this somewhat abstract painting to Liu Xing.

   In this painting, there is a man in a hat holding a sword, which looks a bit like the kind of hero in a martial arts movie.

"I didn't see the face of this man clearly, because I was flying in mid-air at the time, so I couldn't see his appearance from a height. It's a bit modern, like a set of solid-colored long clothes and trousers. If it weren't for this, I would almost think that this NPC must be a martial arts master who escaped into the fantasy world hundreds of thousands of years ago; but this person's attack method is quite special. Yes, I thought he would draw his sword to deal with me, but as a result, he raised his hand and summoned a gust of wind, which almost blew me away."

Mobius said in a trembling tone: "To be honest, after I became a star, I felt that I was almost invincible. As long as I didn't provoke those powerful old rulers, I could live forever. Only in the midst of the gust of wind did I know what it means to be near death. At that time, I felt that my body was constantly being stretched, and the force of this stretching was coming from all directions. At that moment, I suddenly felt that it was nothing more than five horses. In the end, if there was a cold spider who wanted to sneak up on this person, I might have been blown away at that time."

Hearing this, Liu Xing asked very curiously: "Oh, then the question is, if you are really blown away, Mobius, is there any chance for you to get back together? Logically speaking, like An insubstantial existence like you shouldn't just die like this, right?"

"Should he not die directly? I'm not sure about this. After all, I was also a monk who became Xingzhicai halfway through, and I didn't know much about some of Xingzhicai's characteristics, and some abilities were not very easy to use, but I thought at the time. I might have fears for my life, but it was just a passing thought, because then I suddenly felt that the situation was not so bad."

Mobius paused for a while before continuing: "Although the color of the stars looks like a large area, the real core area may only have a small area, so if there is no problem in the core area, other parts will be affected by the wind. There is also a chance to get it back after blowing it away. If it doesn’t work, try to absorb a certain amount of life force to repair itself, but this process may be very slow; but then again, the gust of wind summoned by that NPC also It's not easy, it stands to reason that if this is an ordinary wind, it can't blow me away, after all, I'm not a cloud, so I suspect that this gust of wind may also bring some special attribute damage."

Liu Xing thought for a while, nodded and said: "Yes, I remember that Xingzhicai is a special life form, or an energy body, and normal means cannot affect Xingzhicai, but Xingzhicai is also a kind of wisdom after all. creatures, and can also impose hallucinations and mental control on the target, so it is possible to do the opposite, that is, to be countered by the same means - mental power."

"Yeah, the cold spider who just wanted to sneak attack suddenly froze in place, and then fell to the ground powerless, this is a bit like mind control, but this person's speed is really fast, it can be said that I activated my ability in an instant, and I also took advantage of this time to run away, and this person didn't chase me anymore."

Speaking of which, Mobius is a bit strange, "Actually, there is not much material for a mythical creature like the color of the stars to obtain, so I don't understand what this person wants from me, and a human like this level It's still too rare, and in my impression, there is no one who deserves the title; how should I put it, although there are many original mythical creatures in the Cthulhu Running Group game hall, even the original old rulers, but Original human NPCs, uh, here is that these powerful human NPCs hardly exist, at least the NPCs I know are all characters who have appeared in the Cthulhu Mythology series of novels."

Liu Xing very much agrees with this, because the human powerhouses who have appeared in the Cthulhu running group game hall are basically from the original work of "The Myth of Cthulhu", of course, because of the "Myth of Cthulhu". The original work basically only wrote some stories that happened in the West, so the strong human beings from the East all came from various myths or historical figures. In short, there is hardly an original strong human being.

Of course, like the Druid near Miskatonic University, many of the second-tier human heroes he represents are original characters, because there are few opportunities for such characters to appear in the original series of "The Myth of Cthulhu". , after all, the protagonists are all ordinary people, and they have to face some mythical creatures. Of course, there will also be some mad believers in the secret church, but these mad believers are also a bonus, and basically they can match the protagonist five. Five open.

But in the game hall of the Cthulhu running group, in order to make the human side seem not to be helpless, and to make some mods look more reasonable, so many human race masters were specially arranged, of course some The human race masters are also on the opposite side of the players. After all, it is not an option for players to fight deep divers or ghouls every day.

"The Cthulhu Running Group game hall is not a stand-alone game, so in order to take care of the game experience of so many players, a certain number of special NPCs should be arranged to participate in the module, but as more and more players are promoted to high level area, then the enemies that players encounter will become more and more powerful, so the special NPCs on stage must also have corresponding strengths, otherwise they will be given away, so these powerful human powerhouses must They appeared one by one, and they were also tasked with guiding the plot or selling special items."

Mobius was suddenly stunned for a while, and just when Liu Xing thought it was down, he continued: "I just suddenly thought of one thing, that is, there is a very special one in Rongcheng in the Cthulhu Running Group game hall. NPC, he usually wanders around the generation of Wuhou Temple, and occasionally tells others fortunes on the roadside, but his fortune-telling is really accurate, for example, even if he arrives, I will become a star."

Liu Xing became interested all of a sudden, because even in the Cthulhu running group game hall, most NPCs only know common mythical creatures such as ghouls. After all, ordinary people will never see mythology. Creatures, or there is only a chance to see a mythical creature, and then nine out of ten people die, because the result of ordinary people seeing a mythical creature is one word - send.

As for organizations that deal with mythical creatures like Huaxia Daomen, most of the members also know some common mythical creatures in their dreams, as well as more dynamic existences such as earth drillers. Already, once a shot is made, there will be no grass in a radius of a hundred miles, but still few people can detect the existence of the color of the stars.

The reason is very simple, one is that the color of the star rarely appears on the earth, and the other is that the color of the star is still a harmless little transparent when it first arrives on the earth, and it can directly affect the area when it "eats" so that they will not take the initiative to leave the influence of Xingzhicai, and they will also turn a blind eye to the increasingly strange scenery around them, so in many cases, they can only perceive the local strangeness after Xingzhicai leaves. There are very few records of the color of the stars.

   Therefore, Liu Xing thinks that this fortune teller who can calculate that Mobius will become a star should have something.

   But at this time, Liu Xing was still more curious about how Mobius became a star step by step.

   At this time, Mobius also saw what Liu Xing was curious about, so he directly talked about his past.

  Mobius remembered his first encounter with the mythical creature, a week after meeting the fortune teller.

One summer a few years ago, Mobius went to Wuhou Temple with some friends from college to play, and was stopped by a fortune-teller on the side of the road. The fortune-teller only needed 20 yuan. It can be counted once, so Mobius and his friends started to fortune-telling with Tu Yile in mind.

It is worth mentioning that Mobius studied psychology in college, so when he was in class in school, some teachers mentioned that fortune-telling actually uses some psychological knowledge points, such as the most common one is to observe words and expressions. , the fortune-teller analyzes whether what he said is correct or not through the expression of the guest, and then decides whether to continue talking; then he is side-tracking, collecting enough information to analyze through some questions, but in order to prevent the guest from finding something strange, fortune-telling The master will also encapsulate the questions he most wants to ask in some common questions, so that the guests will reveal some key information unconsciously.

  The last and most important point is that fortune-tellers must be able to speak, especially some car wheel words. In fact, many constellation bloggers are proficient in this way, and they say some ambiguous formulas to make people think for themselves.

   Self-improvement is the most terrifying.

Human memory will have certain deviations, so after you hear some ambiguous words, as long as the words and your memory have a certain overlap, even if they are not completely consistent, then you will subconsciously carry out the brain. Make up, think that this sentence is talking about yourself; and this is one thing or two, after you choose to agree with such ambiguous words for the first time, then you will believe these words more in the future, and think that this fortune teller has Really capable. . . This can also be understood as the process of building trust.

So the teacher of Mobius said that you want to be a good psychological counselor, then you have to find a way to establish a trusting relationship with the client as soon as possible, so that he is willing to listen to you, of course, when you have a certain reputation After that, this trust relationship has actually been established before the guest arrives, because the profession of a psychological counselor is the same as that of a fortune teller. When a guest is willing to take the initiative to find you, it means that he already believes that you have this ability. .

   So Mobius and others at that time had the mentality of having fun, and wanted to take this "half of the peers" to practice in advance.
