Real Cthulhu Running Game

  Chapter 1924 Encryption

"It's not easy to make a codebook? We just need to buy a book at random, and then find the commonly used words in this book, and remember how many pages, how many lines and how many words these words are on, so that we can Make a qualified code book; although this code book is quite simple, as long as the opponent does not know which book we are using, then they will not be able to decipher our encrypted information." Zhang Jingxu said with a smile.

"Yes, this encryption method is indeed simple and direct, but it is not too difficult to decipher. You only need to roughly determine the meaning of the word according to the frequency of each password, and then combine it with the context. Complete the cracking, but the amount of labor is a bit heavy, and it will also test your ability to choose words and make sentences."

Liu Xing rubbed his chin and came up with a good idea, "I remember that there was an encryption method in the past, which was to use dialects to encrypt, so we combined this method with the book correspondence method... Uh, I think this way It’s a bit too troublesome, sometimes you need to send messages in a very short period of time, and if you make the password too complicated, the loss outweighs the gain.”

   "Then we can match some commonly used sentences with a single password, so that the information can be transmitted in an instant."

He Hua'er looked at the night sky and said: "Or you can use the constellations in the sky as the password. For example, Scorpio means that the mission failed and is evacuating, while Taurus means that everything is going well. In short, the encryption method of this password can be changed in ever-changing ways. describe."

As soon as He Hua'er finished speaking, Liu Xing saw the four-winged giant eagle flying across the sky, but today's four-winged giant eagle looks a bit embarrassed, even from such a distance, Liu Xing can see that the feathers on its body are a bit messy , and one of the wings is obviously not working hard, it looks like it should be injured.

   What's the situation, the four-winged giant eagle is injured?

   Could it be that the four-winged giant eagle encountered some stubble?

   "This giant four-winged eagle is injured, right? And it seems to have suffered purely physical damage, so it must have met a martial arts master who specializes in boxing and kicking?" Ding Kun asked curiously.

"I don't think this is possible, because no matter how powerful your fists are, you can't hit the sky, and the four-winged giant eagle hurt the root of its front wings, which is equivalent to the creaking nest of our humans, so I want to fight It takes a little effort to get here.”

Liu Xing shook his head and said: "I think, this giant four-winged eagle looks like it hurt itself, such as accidentally bumping into something, and we can also make a bold guess, it may be related to something we do."

"Master, do you mean that this has something to do with our radio transmission? I remember that the methods used by the airport to drive away birds include broadcasting electromagnetic waves of a specific frequency to affect the perception of birds. For example, when some birds fly over the signal tower It will get lost, and if a signal jammer is installed on the pigeon, it will not be able to find its way home, even if it has flown this way hundreds of times before; so this giant four-winged eagle may Did he receive a signal from us on the way, so he suddenly lost his sense of direction, and then directly hit the mountain or fell into the woods? This guess is indeed quite bold." He Hua'er sighed.

Liu Xing smiled, and said seriously: "A powerful monster like the four-winged giant eagle usually has some special weaknesses, so we players have the opportunity to solve it, such as the wine gorilla we have dealt with before, We can use rockets to aim at its belly, maybe it can directly cause an explosion; and under normal circumstances, I don't think any player would think that this four-winged giant eagle will be affected by electromagnetic waves, after all, this time it is a martial arts model. Come on, electromagnetic waves are very scientific, but not martial arts."

   "It's quite reasonable for you to say that, leader, then we can indeed do some related experiments in the future."

  As soon as Meng Fugui finished speaking, Liu Xing suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of sleepiness, and almost fell to the ground.

   Fortunately, Yin En, who was sitting next to Liu Xing, reacted quickly, seeing that something was wrong with Liu Xing, he stuck him straight away.

   "Master, you have worked so **** the road for so many days, and you may be a little tired now, so you should go back and rest after eating now." Zheng Fei said with concern.

Although Liu Xing knew that he had eaten and slept in the carriage these days, and it is logically impossible to accumulate much fatigue points, but this unexplained drowsiness still made Liu Xing think of the Night Roar Statue, because the Night Roar Statue Before that, I often let myself have some strange dreams, so I suddenly want to sleep now, could it be the Night Roar statue urging me?

  So Liu Xing did not choose to refuse, so he went back to his room to rest after eating.

   As a result, Liu Xing just fell asleep.

   "Oh, so the group leader thinks so, it seems that I think too much."

A somewhat familiar voice rang in Liu Xing's ear, which also made Liu Xing open his eyes, and finally saw a man with strange eyes, but he didn't blow or black, this man with glasses looked quite handsome, and Give yourself a very calm feeling.

   But the most important thing is that this man with glasses calls himself the "group leader", so he should also be the first batch of players in the Cthulhu running game lobby?

   "Ah Yi, you are teasing the group leader here again, aren't you afraid that the group leader will wear shoes for you?"

At this moment, Huang Haoshu appeared next to the man with the eyes, and called him Ah Yi, but in Liu Xing's impression, he didn't seem to know a person named Ah Yi, and at the same time, there seemed to be no one among his acquaintances. A person with a "one" in their name.

   As for whether it is a homonym of "Yi", Liu Xing suddenly felt inexplicably confident when he thought about it, that is, this person is "A Yi", not A Yi or A Yi.

   Before Liu Xing could react, Huang Haoshu continued: "Okay, it's time for us to participate in the module group. Lao Zhang and the others are still waiting for us."

  So, Ah Yi smiled at Liu Xing, and then followed Huang Haoshu into the light door next to him.

   Light Gate?

  Old Zhang?

  Because "Zhang" is a common surname, although Liu Xing subconsciously thought of Zhang Jingxu, he finally denied this possibility. . . But Liu Xing still couldn't help thinking that this old Zhang was Zhang Jingxu.

   I don't know why, but Liu Xing suddenly became interested in Ah Yi, because he seemed to be very familiar with him.

   At this time, Liu Xing saw several "people" with strange shapes and strange clothes walking into the light gate, and they all looked familiar to him, and they all greeted him.

   After no one joined the light gate, the light gate slowly closed, and the pattern on the gate was the old seal that Liu Xing was familiar with.

   At this moment, a cutscene suddenly appeared in front of Liu Xing.

The content of this cutscene is also very simple, that is, Ah Yi and others who just entered the Light Gate suddenly fainted in different places, and then several people appeared to drag them away, and then there was a black screen transition, Ah Yi Waiting for people to wake up in a strange place, and they still have a strange collar tied around their necks, and there is an old-fashioned straight mobile phone beside them.

This seems to be the beginning of a movie, and Liu Xing can guess the plot of the movie now, that is, the collars on the necks of Ah Yi and the others are obviously equipped with traps. If they cannot complete the corresponding tasks, the collars They should be able to send them to the Western Paradise to learn Buddhist scriptures. As for the method of releasing the mission, it must be through that straight phone.

   After the cutscene ended, Liu Xing had a PPT-style picture in front of his eyes.

  Module name: Escape from birth

  Number of players: fifty

  Mod Difficulty: Difficult

Module background: You were brought to this strange place by a group of mysterious people, so what you have to do now, or the only thing you can do is to find a way to escape from here, because you subconsciously feel that if you don’t escape, you will It is possible to never see your family and friends.

  Main task: Escape from this strange city.

  Remarks: The secret room time of this module is that each person can open it twice, ten minutes each time.

  Mod has officially started!

Seeing this, Liu Xing knew that he should have come to a module that was conducted in the game lobby of the Cthulhu Running Group in the early days, because the introduction of this module highlighted a simple and direct, and the related settings of the secret room time were not Need kp to notify the player.

   It's kind of rough.

   "kp, are you there?"

Liu Xing saw a goblin who looked like a fairy tale, and complained in a smoky voice, "Let's be reasonable, how did those men in black catch me? I'm also a goblin of the wind element. But the most important thing is that instead of auctioning off such a magical creature as me, they threw me to this kind of place for experimentation, isn't this a hidden gem?"

  This man, no, this goblin seems to make a lot of sense.

  But the kp in his mouth didn't reply, or it can be said that Liu Xing couldn't hear what kp said, because Liu Xing could tell from the facial expression of the goblin that kp had replied to him.

   At this time, a large map appeared in front of Liu Xing, with many red dots flashing on it. It seemed that these red dots represented the fifty players.

According to the marked content on the map, Liu Xing found that this time the module was randomly sent to an industrial area, in addition to various factory areas, it was a variety of supporting living facilities, and it appeared in an area marked "Automobile Assembly Plant" There was a black spot, and it seemed that the key to the player's escape was in this car assembly plant.

As soon as Liu Xing thought of this, an assembly line for assembling cars suddenly appeared in front of Liu Xing's eyes, and a strange machine appeared in the middle, which looked like an old-fashioned telephone booth, but more importantly, it was in this machine. There are several shoggoths wandering aimlessly next to him,

   It seems that if players want to get close to that machine, they have to deal with several Shoggoths in this complex terrain.

   This is not an easy task, so what do players need to do?

  Thinking of this, the screen in front of Liu Xing switched to a player.

At this time, the player is reading a text message on his mobile phone, and the content of this text message is a reminder for the player to clear the level-either find and activate the magnetic cards scattered within the specified range, or find various clues within the specified range Come to decipher a code, so that you can remove the strange collar around your neck, and then you can leave this unknown city.

as predicted.

But having said that, since "password" is mentioned here, could it be because I chatted with other people about the encryption method that triggered Yehou's keyword system, so Yehou came to remind myself to sleep up?

After reading the text message, the mobile phone interface automatically switched to a map with a very low resolution, and this map did not mark any place names, but was directly divided into a hundred small grids, and represented by a red dot. The location of the player.

   At this time, the player is on the top floor of a five-story dormitory building.

   This player first went to the window to observe the surrounding situation. After confirming that there was no movement nearby, he began to search the room lightly, and soon found a small note—3: The second digit of the zip code.

  Obviously, the "3" on this note represents the third digit of the password, corresponding to the second digit of the zip code of the city

   "It seems that I have to find something with a zip code, such as an envelope, to get the third number of this password."

  The player said to himself: "It looks like this should be a staff dormitory. If there are no accidents, I should be able to find some letters or packages in the guard room on the first floor."

   As soon as the voice fell, the player suddenly turned his head to look at Liu Xing, which shocked Liu Xing.

   "Strange, why do I keep feeling that something is watching me from behind?"

  The player shook his head, and said with a puzzled look: "Could it be that kp is looking at me? Forget it, let's find a weapon to defend ourselves now."

Liu Xing took a deep breath, managed to calm himself down, then watched the player rummage through the wall, and then saw him find a dagger from a small cabinet, and then casually gestured at the two Down.

   Those two gesticulations made Liu Xing sure that this player was not a simple one, because the way he held the dagger and the two gesticulations reminded Liu Xing of the instructor who performed during the military training.

   At this moment, the screen in front of Liu Xing switched again, and he saw a strange dog-headed penguin!

  That's right, it's a stitch monster with a husky's head and a penguin's body, which looks very funny.

  Liu Xing still remembers that a few years ago, there was a set of emoji packs popular on the Internet, which was to splicing together two seemingly unrelated animals, and the most famous one was Hashiqi.
