"Liu Xing, I'll add you as a friend in the lobby later. I think our next module will be together." Yin En patted Liu Xing on the shoulder and said with a smile.
Liu Xing nodded, because he thought so too. After all, at the end of the ending scene, "Liu Xing" and "Yin En" boarded the same cruise ship, and their destination was also the country of Universe, so it was very likely that they would be involved. into the same module.
One minute passed, kp Li Shunchan said with a smile: "Okay, now it's time for me to send you back. Everyone who has passed the module this time, except Yin En, who is the MVP of this module, will receive a 1,000 point reward. , other players will receive a reward of 800 points, and a reward of a slight increase in intelligence attributes, because this is the special hidden effect of King Tindalos' communicator, well, see you next time."
As soon as kp Li Shunchan finished speaking, Liu Xing returned to the real world.
Just as Liu Xing stood up and stretched, Yin En's friend application arrived, and Yin En's ID in the Cthulhu Run game lobby was Ian.
"Liu Xing, have you read the system notification? We have to play the next module game tomorrow."
Yin En's first message made Liu Xing frown, and he immediately clicked on the system message that was flashing red.
"Dear player, old Chinese medicine practitioner, because you have triggered the special module - the mystery of the Yueshi No., please be ready to enter the special module at ten o'clock tomorrow morning. Thank you for your cooperation."
Liu Xing looked at the system information and didn't know what to say for a moment. He originally planned to take a good rest for a few days and enjoy life, but then he encountered a special module again, and it seemed to be a closed module. Mods.
A closed module means that players can only carry out activities within a certain range, such as a large house, a moving train, and the place where this special module takes place - a sailing cruise ship.
This type of module has a relatively small range of activities and is subject to various restrictions. Basically, the enemies in the module will be encountered head-on. Therefore, this type of module is very suitable for non-combat characters like Liu Xing. unfriendly. . .
However, there are still advantages to this type of module, that is, it is easier to collect clues, you can contact all the important people in the module in a short period of time, and you can determine your action goals in advance, unlike open modules. , spent a lot of time and still got confused.
"Liu Xing, have you read the system messages?"
Yin En sent another message.
Liu Xing touched his chin and replied, "I've seen that message. It's said that the cruise ship we are on is the Sewol that sank in reality, right?"
Sewol, Cosmos Cruise Line.
At around 8:58 a.m. on April 16, 2014, the Sewol, carrying more than 450 passengers, capsized and sank after a flooding accident 20 kilometers north of Byungpoong Island, Jindo County, Jeollanam Province, ultimately killing nearly 300 people.
Judging from these data alone, there is no problem. It seems to be just an ordinary shipwreck, but the death toll is a bit high. However, after continuous media reports, more details have been exposed, and the Sewol shipwreck is full of all kinds of weirdness. , many people even believe that this shipwreck was not an accident, but a complete murder!
Because after the Sewol capsized, the official rescue operations of Cosmos Kingdom were always slow. . . In other words, it was more than ten beats too slow, and the rescue operation was completely in vain. There was no intention to save people at all. The most important thing was that the private rescue team wanted to enter the Sewol for rescue, but was blocked by the official rescue team of Space Kingdom. Stopped.
As time went by, many strange things about the Sewol shipwreck came to light. For example, the Sewol was not supposed to have set off that day because of the heavy fog that day. Nine other ships in the harbor chose to stop sailing. Only the Sewol shipwreck was The Sewol insisted on leaving the port; then, according to the Sewol's navigation route map, it was also discovered that the Sewol capsized because it suddenly deviated from the normal route and made a forced sharp turn; also, at the beginning of the Sewol's capsize, the captain asked the passengers to They waited quietly in their respective rooms for rescue, but the captain took the crew and ran away by himself, and even locked the escape route before leaving!
These abnormal situations have cast a shadow over the Sewol shipwreck.
Finally, in another incident, the best friend of Park Geun-hye, the Prime Minister of the Universe, was involved. Then he followed the clues and discovered that Park Geun-hye's best friend might actually be involved in politics. Moreover, this best friend came from a group that believed in "alternative" Catholicism, and her father was still the leader of this group. !
Naturally, conspiracy theories about the Sewol Ship suddenly became popular, and many people began to believe that the Sewol Shipwreck was the result of a cult's sacrifice.
So if the next module The Mystery of the Shiyue is the shipwreck of the Shiyue in the world of Cthulhu, then Liu Xing can be sure that the final boss of this module will be those fanatical believers.
At this time, Ian also replied to Liu Xing, "Yes, I am sure that this module is alluding to the Sewol Hao. After all, the name Sewol Hao means transcending the world, so changing it to the Yueshi Hao is more appropriate. But having said that, this time it is a creative module that is artificially triggered, and it is very likely that the two of us will deal with the other camp, which is the player whose profession is the fanatical believer."
Yin En also attached a link at the end of the message.
Liu Xing clicked on the link and found that he had entered the help interface of the Cthulhu Run game lobby, which mentioned special modules that were triggered by humans.
Special modules that are artificially triggered are divided into two types. The first type is "subsequent plot module", which occurs after the player clears a certain module because certain conditions are reached in this module, or When it is said to be a wrong ending, there is a chance of entering the "subsequent plot". For example, in a module, there were originally two fanatics, one bright and one dark. The players only eliminated the bright fanatic, temporarily terminating the game. On the surface, the sacrificial ceremony was successfully completed, but because the fanatic believer in the dark is still alive, when the fanatic believer prepares to continue the sacrificial ritual again, some players living in "local" will be asked to perform a special Mod to get rid of this fanatic. As for those players from "out of town", because they left after the first module ended, they do not need to carry out this special module.
The second type of special module is the "creative module". This type of special module "creates" a new module due to some actions of the player. For example, a player of a certain module is successfully converted. For the sake of the ghoul elder, he suddenly wanted to rule the world, so he began to develop "offline" in a certain city - attacking humans and turning them into ghouls. Therefore, players in this area in the same parallel world, They will be pulled into a special module. The task of some players is to deal with the player who has become a ghoul elder, and the other players who are fanatical believers may assist the player who becomes a ghoul elder.
Therefore, "subsequent plot modules" are generally similar to ordinary modules, but the difficulty may be increased. After all, the bosses of this type of module exist in the previous module, and the behavior patterns of the players are already known. Targeted enhancements will be made.
The "Creative Module" is a camp confrontation module, which is generally divided into two camps to compete with each other, and the clearance goals of the two camps must be opposed to each other, so players must eliminate players from the opposing camp. Fight to the death.
Seeing this, Liu Xing has already understood that in this module, there should be one or more fanatical believer players who want to hold a sacrificial ceremony on the Yueshi, so he and Yin En "just happen to" be on the Yueshi. I got involved in this module.
However, Liu Xing also noticed that the help mentioned a concept - parallel world.
Liu Xing entered the world view into the help with great interest. Although Liu Xing also knew the concept of parallel worlds, Liu Xing was more curious about the differences in parallel worlds under the Cthulhu mythology system.
According to the introduction in the help, there are three types of parallel worlds in the Cthulhu Run Game Hall. The first is a parallel world under a modern background. The module takes place after 2010, and the place where it takes place is In all parts of the world, it is therefore called a modern parallel world; in the second type of parallel world, the module takes place in advance of 1920, and the places where it takes place are mainly in European and American countries, most of which take place in England. The two countries of the United States and the United States are therefore called the 1920 parallel world. In the third type of parallel world, the module took place before the mid-eighteenth century, before the Industrial Revolution began, and the modules took place in concentrated locations. In mainland Europe and China, it is called the ancient parallel world.
Therefore, because there are these three types of parallel worlds, the player's character cards are divided into three types - modern character cards, 1920 character cards and ancient character cards. These three types of character cards can only appear in the same type. In the parallel world, Liu Xing, who only owns modern character cards, cannot access the modules of the other two parallel world types. However, when creating a new character card, he can modify the character card type at will.
Of course, there are tens of thousands of parallel worlds in the Cthulhu Run game lobby. Players’ character cards live in these parallel worlds. In theory, one parallel world can accommodate tens of thousands of character cards. The module takes place in a certain area of this parallel world, which may affect other character cards. For example, the news of Watanabe Jiang's arrest was known to Liu Xing and others at the same time. Players who are doing other mods in the island country may also see this news while watching TV or surfing the Internet.
Of course, if in this parallel world, a module reaches the stage of annihilation, for example, Liu Xing and his team did not prevent the resurrection of the evil god Zhutori, then this module will be "divided" by the parallel world and form a new one. A parallel world, but this new parallel world will soon be destroyed. . .
After reading the introduction to the parallel world, Liu Xing replied to Yin En, "It seems that we are lucky, and we can actually trigger the special module."
"Of course, we have to cooperate well tomorrow, but generally speaking, camp confrontation modules pay attention to two words - balance, the difficulty is not too high, it mainly depends on the intrigue between players. And I have to say something first, my character card attribute skills will drop a lot after leaving Ziwu City."
Liu Xing looked at Yin En's reply and couldn't help laughing. Liu Xing expected that Yin En's character card was weakened. After all, it is impossible for the Cthulhu Run game lobby to give out benefits like this, allowing the player's character card to instantly A chicken turns into a phoenix.
After agreeing on the content of tomorrow's cooperation, Liu Xing prepared for inter-act growth, but found that there was only one inter-act growth this time, and that was "visiting the collector".
Visit the Collector. When the player successfully arrives in the Universe Kingdom, he or she can 100% obtain a fragment of the "Xuanjun Seven Chapters Secret Scripture" by visiting the Collector.
To put it simply, if Liu Xing can pass tomorrow's module, he will be able to get a fragment of the "Xuanjun Seven Chapters Secret Sutra" with 100% chance.
Liu Xing touched his chin and decided to go out to eat.
At nine o'clock the next morning, after Liu Xing finished breakfast, he clicked on the matching game and waited for the module to start.
As soon as ten o'clock arrived, Liu Xing entered the module directly.

But the most important thing is that Liu Xing's knowledge of the Cthulhu Mythos has exceeded double digits, which is not good news.
