"I personally think that the Shoggoths in the Fisherman's Village should be a weakened version of the Shoggoths. After all, everyone knows that the most powerful skill of the Shoggoths is that they can continuously evolve, but the evolution of the Shoggoths requires The reference object may be in a completely new environment, and the Shoggoths in Fisherman's Village obviously do not have this condition, so I think the Shoggoths in Fisherman's Village have not evolved much over the years. Of course, Having said that, we still may not be able to defeat this Shoggoth." Liu Xing couldn't help complaining.
Ishi Chuanling, who was speechless, looked at Liu Xing and said: "Liu Xing, are you very happy now? But having said that, the only thing left to do is to see Liu Xing's performance. After all, only Liu Xing can do it now." Contact the ancient Siris, and hope that the ancient Siris still has a way to deal with the Shoggoths."
Liu Xing touched the soul box in his pocket, nodded and said: "Then I can only say let's fight for it. I think there is something wrong with this ancient Sirius, and he is definitely not an honest person. I suspect that he is plotting against me. But now it still wants something from me, and it should cooperate with me honestly."
"I hope so. We still have to figure out a few questions now, that is, how many Shoggoths are there in Fisherman Village, and what role do these Shoggoths play, and then there are the villagers of Fisherman Village. It is worth saving, especially the last point. After all, I have said before that the character of my character card is relatively ideal. If I can save someone's life, I will definitely do it, so if I can, I hope that in your next role-playing, if there are other human survivors in the Fisherman Village, don’t tell me at that time, wait until it’s time in the secret room.” Zhang Jingxu said seriously.
Hearing what Zhang Jingxu said, Miyako Wutong on the side also nodded and agreed: "Yes, Zhang Jingxu and I are in the same situation, because you have all seen that my character card is a late-stage severe secondary disease patient, so My favorite is saving the world, so Liu Xing and you three will act together, and I will follow Zhang Jingxu."
Liu Xing sighed helplessly and said: "Oh, this is troublesome. These two character cards of yours are equivalent to being directly destroyed. There must be humans controlled by Shoggoths in the Fisherman Village. But when I came back from the underground ruins, I heard the sound of Shoggoths moving from the villa next door, which can be regarded as confirming the identity of the residents of the villa next to us."
Panda Pig nodded, frowned and said: "Well, originally the essence of the Cthulhu Running Game is to be able to play characters who are completely opposite to your own personality, but when it comes to us, it becomes a huge burden. The most important thing is The personalities of our character cards are all random, and basically there is no way to modify them. But having said that, I have a question now, that is, who are the three villagers who ran to the beach in the middle of the night? Human or shoggoth?"
Liu Xing raised his eyebrows, Panda Pig’s question was a bit tricky.
Before the trip to the Fisherman Village Ancestral Hall this afternoon, Liu Xing was still sure that the three villagers should be human beings, but with the current situation, Liu Xing began to suspect that the three villagers might be Shoggoths. The reason why these three Shoggoths ran to the thatched house where Dogo Aig was was probably because they wanted to use magic to control Togo Aig.
Therefore, Liu Xing is really not sure yet about the true identities of the three villagers.
"It is better to kill by mistake than to let go. Let's treat these three villagers as Shoggoths for now. After all, with the number and strength of Shoggoths in Fisherman Village, it is impossible for so many people to regain consciousness. Yes." Ishikawa Ling said seriously.
Everyone nodded in agreement.
"Okay, now let's move on to the next topic. As Liu Xing just said, we definitely can't defeat the Shoggoths in the Fisherman Village, and our Cthulhu Running Group game hall will definitely not arrange that. Plant a fatal module, so there should be a way to avoid fighting with Shoggoths, and I think this method is likely to be related to Matsui Ichiro and Matsui Yui." Zhang Jingxu said.
Liu Xing thought for a while, nodded and said: "Yes, based on the current situation, the breakthrough is indeed with Matsui Ichiro and Matsui Yui. After all, they are the only humans in the Fisherman Village who can stay awake."
At this time, Ishikawa Ling shook his head and interrupted Liu Xing: "Wait a minute, Liu Xing, you may be taking it for granted. What if Matsui Ichiro and Matsui Yui are also Shoggoths? After all, the IQ of the Shoggoths is It's not low either, so I think after the Shoggoths took control of the Fisherman Village, this group of Shoggoths would start planning their next actions, and the most important thing to them at that time was information. After all, These Shoggoths have been locked underground in Fisherman Village for tens of millions of years and have lost contact with the outside world."
"But to be on the safe side, the Shoggoths would definitely not choose to go out in full force, so the Shoggoths sent a Shoggoth who was best at playing the role of a human to go to the human world to detect intelligence, and bring more information along the way. Many humans have returned to the Fisherman Village, and this Shoggoth is Yui Matsui, and the elite-level Shoggoth is naturally Ichiro Matsui."
Liu Xing was stunned for a moment by what Ishikawa Ling said, but Liu Xing had to admit that Ishikawa Ling's guess was probably correct.
"I also agree with Ishikawa Rei's idea, because this time the module does not have a very special setting - Matsui Yui's tension. Since the title of this setting is 'Matsui Yui', and the effect is to achieve Players will be killed randomly after 100, so this shows that Yui Matsui is capable of doing this, so it makes sense that Yui Matsui is a Shoggoth. After all, if Yui Matsui is a human, then even if she is Even if the tension reaches 100, it doesn't matter to the Shoggoths, and they won't help Matsui Yui kill people, and Matsui Yui, with her small arms and legs, doesn't look like someone who can fight." Miya. Gu Wutong raised his hand and said.
Liu Xing nodded, sighed and said: "Okay, I have been convinced by you. It is indeed possible that Yui Matsui and Ichiro Matsui are played by Shoggoths, but judging from their current performance, , it can be seen that these two Shoggoths can communicate, so I think we can try to negotiate with these two Shoggoths and ask them to let us leave, but the success rate should not be too high."
"We are the swordsmen and I are the fish. It is unlikely that the Shoggoths will let us fat meat come to our mouths, unless we have something that can make them afraid, such as the Shoggoth suppression device?" Zhang Jingxu frowned. He said with a frown.
When Ishikawa Ling heard what Zhang Jingxu said, he said with some confusion: "Although there is this possibility, but again, unless I can achieve several big successes in a row, I will not be able to use the Shoggoth suppression device to control a person. Only Shoggoths. As for using the Shoggoth suppression device to fake the power of a tiger, it is unrealistic. After all, these Shoggoths in the Fisherman Village already have a certain understanding of human beings, so they must know that our strength is not enough. Threaten them with Shoggoth suppression devices."
For a moment, everyone was speechless.
"This plot is really full of twists and turns. I originally thought it was a secret church causing trouble in the Fisherman Village, but now the boss has turned into a Shoggoth. Now I have to suspect that something will happen next." Panda Pig said, looking at the ceiling.
Liu Xing touched his chin and said helplessly: "The plot of this module is really unpredictable, and it also involves so many mythical creatures. We haven't really determined the plot of this module yet. .”
"The real plot of this module needs us to find the second letter to figure it out, but we don't have a clue about this second letter yet." Panda Pig said melancholy.
Regarding the second letter, Liu Xing initially thought he could get it during his afternoon trip to the ancestral hall, but he found nothing.
"It seems that this second letter should be at Ichiro Matsui's house. After all, the only main building in Fisherman Village is Ichiro Matsui's house that we have never been to." Ishikawa Ling said.
Liu Xing shook his head and said helplessly: "Even if the letter is at Matsui Ichiro's house, we have no way to go in and get it."
This matter can only be brought to an end for now.
"By the way, can we really believe Alice now? What if this is a trick played by Alice and Yui Matsui." Ishikawa Rei said with some worry.
Zhang Jingxu nodded and said affirmatively: "I think we can still trust Alice, because although Alice can act with Matsui Yui, the system will not lie. Since Matsui Yui's tension has increased, it means that Matsui Yui got angry when she was chatting with Alice, and it couldn't have been caused by our previous chat with Alice, because the content of our chat with Alice was enough to make Matsui Yui's nervousness explode. It’s shown, so as far as the current situation is concerned, Alice should be on our side, but that may not be the case after this module ends.”
After all, Alice is still a member of the Deep Sea Gospel Society, and she will definitely conflict with "Liu Xing" and "Zhang Jingxu" in the future. After all, "Liu Xing" is the leader of the Huangyi Sect, and as a disciple of the Chinese Taoist Sect, Zhang Jingxu is naturally incompatible with "evil ways" like Alice. . .
etc.
Liu Xing looked at Zhang Jingxu with some doubts and said: "By the way, Zhang Jingxu, didn't you say that your character card is very hostile to the people of the Secret Church? Then why did you want to see Alice's master just now? Could it be that you Do you really want to put yourself in danger?"
Zhang Jingxu laughed and said seriously: "You all should know that the significance of Miskatonic University in our real Cthulhu team game is equivalent to a dragon gate. We players want to be promoted to the Cthulhu area. , in addition to getting the ticket to the world mission, you must also go through a module that takes place in Arkham City, and the most important location in Arkham City is Miskatonic University."
"It can be said that the best way to pass the module that takes place in Arkham City is to find a way to get help from Miskatonic University. Because for well-known reasons, Miskatonic University has to deal with mythical creatures. The secret church has a lot of experience, but although it is indeed very simple to enter Miskatonic University, it is very difficult to get help from Miskatonic."
"So now, in order to prepare for the future, I will first find an opportunity to have a good relationship with Alice's master, and then get a letter of introduction to Miskatonic University from Alice's master, so that I can have a good relationship in the future. It’s time to seek help from Miskatonic University. As for my character card, it’s actually easy to convince. I just want to find out the identity of Alice’s master and try to catch all the believers of Alice’s secret church. "
The panda pig on the side nodded and said with a smile: "It seems that Zhang Jingxu is really far-sighted. You have thought so far. You must know that the conditions for us to advance from the Shoggoth area to the Hounds of Tindalos area are already very high." It’s difficult, so it’s undoubtedly difficult to advance from the Hounds of Tindalos area to the Cthulhu area, so now I plan to stay in the Shoggoth area honestly. Anyway, my points are low. I have almost saved it, and as long as my luck is not so bad and I don’t encounter a module as difficult as Fisherman’s Village, I basically don’t have to worry about being wiped out from the Cthulhu Run game lobby.”
Although he had always been at odds with Panda Pig, Miyako Wutong nodded when he heard this, sighed and said: "I think so too. Before I was promoted to the Shoggoth area, I still felt that These modules are quite simple. I thought I should have a chance to be promoted to the legendary Azathoth area. As a result, after I was promoted to the Shoggoth area, I tore two character cards in a row and almost got killed by Csu. The Lupao Group game lobby has been wiped out, so I no longer have confidence in being promoted to the Hounds of Tindalos area. If I want to wait for death in peace and quiet, I just need to deal with the mandatory modules."
Forced mod?
Liu Xing frowned and asked, "What is a mandatory module? Why haven't I heard of it?"
Miyako Wutong looked at Liu Xing and said with some surprise: "What, Liu Xing, you don't know about the mandatory module? It seems that you do the module quite frequently. The mandatory module is actually like this. When you When you have not done any mods for a period of time, the Cthulhu Run Game Hall will arrange a mandatory mod for you that you must participate in based on your previous performance, but the difficulty of this compulsory mod is medium."
PS: I will take a day off from updating tomorrow because I am busy with personal matters, and I will think about how to finish this module.
