Real Cthulhu Running Game

"Ah? Isn't this just white noise? Or maybe it's an alarm that goes off on a regular basis?"

Shi Zixuan couldn't help complaining: "My family used to live near a school, and my parents used the school's evening self-study bell as a sleep reminder. After arriving, they couldn't fall asleep without hearing the bell. , no matter how sleepy he is, he will not close his eyes until the bell rings; so my dad laughs at himself that he is Pavlov's dog, and the bell has made him a habit that he has to abide by, even if he really wants to. If you change this habit, it won’t be long before you fall back into it without even realizing it.”

Shi Zixuan's words reminded Liu Xing of one of his classmates. This classmate also mentioned similar things when chatting with him, except that the protagonist became the classmate himself.

In short, this classmate lives in a building facing the street, and there is a large night market not far away, so some mobile vendors will push their cars home after arriving, so This classmate also developed the habit of waking up naturally at a certain time to go to the toilet, and then listen to the "clattering" sound of the trolley outside the window from far to near, and then from near to far until it disappears, so that he can sleep peacefully. , because it is now around four o'clock in the middle of the night.

But having said that, Liu Xing suddenly felt that he had a similar situation, and this situation was also written into the module of Panlong Town by the Cthulhu Run Game Hall, that is, the one who would wear high heels outside the tile wall." "Sliding around" monster, because as a child, as long as I heard the "click-click" sound, I would know that it was already around ten o'clock.

You must know that when Liu Xing was a child, let alone owning a mobile phone, it could even be said that he had never seen a mobile phone. After all, mobile phones were still a rare thing in the 2000s, and one or two palm-sized flip phones were required. Thousands, and Liu Xing remembered that this was a slightly better mobile phone than a black and white screen.

So at that time, Liu Xing always checked the time through the decorative clock on the table next to him. However, although this decorative clock came with a music box that could rotate and sound, it did not have a luminous function, so after turning off the lights, he thought The only chance to determine what time it is now may be that strange sound coming from the window. At that time, I also tried to find the source of the sound, but unfortunately I found nothing.

So this was an unsolved mystery for Liu Xing at that time, even at this time, because even if the Panlong Town module came to give him an unreliable explanation, after all, Liu Xing didn't think that From time to time, mythical creatures came into the real world, and came to serve as watchmen for me whenever they had nothing to do, rain or shine.

Wait, there seems to be something wrong with this?

Although he had talked about this matter with Yin En and others in front of him, Liu Xing remembered that he should have said it in the real world, because there was no time to talk about these things in the module? So why did the Cthulhu Running Game Hall put this story into the module? Did the Cthulhu Running Game Hall start paying attention to its every move so early?

Of course, I don't rule out that I am overthinking it now, because this type of urban legend is quite common. After all, the element of "high heels" is very common in urban legends!

Think about it, when you are alone in a relatively closed space, and suddenly hear the click of high heels from far to near, the atmosphere will suddenly rise, especially when you are in this place. When you are still in a state of panic, you will subconsciously think that the owner of the voice is coming for you. Especially when the footsteps stop nearby, the adrenaline will surge rapidly.

After all, the sound made by high heels is so recognizable, especially in the quiet night, it can be heard hundreds of meters away, and when a person mentions high heels, as long as the person does not clearly mention what the high heels are, Regarding the color, most people will subconsciously think of these high heels as red.

Whether in relatively new urban legends or relatively classical folklore, the color red is always associated with the word "fierce", and high heels are also associated with women.

Therefore, Li Mengyao put forward a point before, that is, the red high heels in urban legends are actually a reference to the red wedding dress in folklore, and they are all bound to some keywords.

Young woman, resentful, powerful and difficult to communicate with.

Well, if it is in some online novels, then it can also be labeled as "wife".

Wait, will there be a martial arts master wearing a red wedding dress in this martial arts module? Or is it just a Piao? After all, this martial arts module not only has gods and monsters, but also an AI intelligent system, so it’s no problem to add a Piao now, right?

Looking at Liu Xing who was already in a state of confusion, Yin En looked at Shi Zixuan with a puzzled expression. In desperation, Shi Zixuan could only repeat the things he had told Zhang Jingxu before. Yin En After listening to it, he had the same expression.

"Tomorrow I will go find the first-class master next to Young Master Ying. He should have encountered a similar situation. Of course, we have to give Liu Xing's father of this character card - Liu Nan, because Liu Nan also He can be regarded as the person with the highest medical skills in Tianshui Town. After all, there are only two serious doctors in Tianshui Town, and one of them is Liu Xing in front of us. Therefore, this doctor cannot heal himself, so we should not expect him to do it for us. Something has been done! But I don’t think we have to help Liu Xing remove the black fragment in a short time, because didn’t Liu Xing mention that he had a lot of strange dreams because of it? And we all know that in Cthulhu In the running group game lobby, dreaming is actually an efficient channel to obtain information."

Yin En took a sip of water, stood up and said, "Since Liu Xing is going to be distracted for a while, we should go home and go to bed. You know my wife is still waiting for me, and I don't want her to wait too long for me." Long."

"Wen Jing?"

Shi Zixuan said subconsciously, but his expression immediately became serious.

Yin En chuckled and said without looking back: "Oh? It seems that you know something, Master Zixuan. I think Liu Xing mentioned that I got married in this martial arts module when he came back, but From Liu Xing's point of view, I have no choice, so to put it bluntly, this is a marriage that only exists in form, so Liu Xing is unlikely to mention Wen Jing's name, because it is not important."

When Master Zixuan heard what Yin En said, he didn't know what to say for a moment, and Yin En didn't care about it, so he just chose to leave.

Seeing this, Master Zixuan breathed a sigh of relief silently, and after taking a sip of water, he chose to leave, leaving Liu Xing sitting there in a daze.

I don't know how long it took, but Liu Xing suddenly felt someone pushing him from behind, and then he turned around and saw Alice.

Why is Alice here?

Liu Xing subconsciously turned around and found that Master Zixuan and Yin En were gone.

At this time, Liu Xing knew that he must have suddenly become distracted again, so Master Zixuan and his two brothers chose to leave. After all, it was already getting late.

No wonder Alice came to find herself at this time.

Liu Xing took a deep breath, and then said with a smile: "Long time no see, Alice. I might have been a little distracted just now, so..."

Before Liu Xing finished speaking, Alice interrupted directly: "Liu Xing, there is something wrong with your situation. I have also met a person in a similar situation to you in my parallel world. He also suddenly Just like this, his mind started to wander for no reason, and then the time of his mind wandering became longer and longer. Eventually, whenever his mind wandered, he would be in a daze for a whole day and night, forgetting to even eat and sleep."

After Liu Xing heard what Alice said, he couldn't help but shudder, because this was indeed terrifying, so would he become like this?

"At that time, this person attracted the attention of many interested people! Liu Xing, you also knew my identity at that time, so you should also know the origins of the interested people I mentioned."

Alice poured herself a glass of lemonade and continued: "These thoughtful people want to make that person into an envoy or something, and package his wandering into a so-called receiving oracle, so it's quite easy to use it to fool ordinary people. Effective, but we definitely won’t let this person be turned into a tool by those guys, so we tried to rescue him! Of course, we must be good people who will do it to the end and send Buddha to the West, so Hua It took a lot of effort to determine why this person became like this. In short, there was something wrong with his brain, that is, he hit something on the back of his head."

What did you hit on the back of your head?

Liu Xing subconsciously thought of when he was in Feicheng, he fell on the boat because he wanted to help Han Yu complete his awakening, and even knocked himself unconscious. After that, he began to have this involuntary distraction.

Is that so?

Thinking of this, Liu Xing touched the back of his head and found a small bump. Could it be the blood scab he had formed after the fall?

No, I also took a shower when I had time during this period. Although I didn't wash my hair seriously, the blood scabs and other things should have been washed away, right? And there won’t be this pimple-like feeling, right?

Thinking of this, Liu Xing asked Alice to help him see what this little bump was.

Then, Alice said with some surprise: "Ah? Is this a glass fragment or a plastic fragment? But no matter what kind of fragment it is, it shouldn't appear in this module, right? Because I haven't seen glass and plastic fragments in this module yet. Where’s the plastic?”

Glass and plastic?

Liu Xing subconsciously touched the back of his head and found that the little bump was indeed angular and felt like a piece of glass or plastic.

After thinking for a while, Liu Xing shook his head and said: "I remember that there was no glass or plastic on that ship, so where did this thing come from? But I met a strange NPC in those days. His There is something similar to a brain-computer interface on the back of my head. Could it be that I was tricked at that time? And I had several dreams after that, including one of this NPC, but the identity of this NPC seemed to be An unlucky time traveler? Or..."

At this point, Liu Xing, who looked at Alice, hesitated to speak, because Feng Can's situation seemed to be somewhat similar to Alice's. They might have been human beings at the beginning, or even players, just because of a certain He became an NPC for some reasons.

Alice looked at Liu Xing who was hesitant to speak, and guessed what Liu Xing wanted to say, so she nodded and said: "If this NPC is really a time traveler, then we have reason to suspect that this NPC is actually the same as me. He is an NPC who became a monk halfway. He may have become an NPC because he ripped up cards in a certain module. Of course, he may also be a character card?"

"Character cards? That is also possible, because this martial arts module may have been used as a garbage dump by the Cthulhu Run Game Hall, and all the torn character cards will be sent to this martial arts module. He is an NPC in the group. After all, the so-called card tearing does not really completely destroy these character cards, so the possibility of recycling the waste also exists! Besides, Zhang Jingxu and I have also discussed this matter, so we doubt this. The martial arts module is just improvised, so the special features of some character cards have not been erased.”

Liu Xing thought for a while and continued to ask: "Besides the material, is there anything special about this thing on the back of my head? For example, does it glow or something?"

After studying it for a while, Alice said: "Well, in my opinion, there is nothing special about this thing. If I had to describe it, it is just a fragment of a vinyl record, but the surface of this fragment is very smooth."

Um?

Hearing what Alice said, Liu Xing thought of the so-called memory fragments he had seen before, so the thing on the back of his head was Feng Can's memory fragment?

Of course, this may also be my own memory fragments!

Liu Xing took another deep breath, and just when he was about to say something, Alice continued: "By the way, it seems to me that this fragment is going to fuse with the back of your head! Liu Xing, what do you mean? I am a doctor in the real world, so I should have seen similar wounds, but your current wound looks a bit like a burn?"

"ah?"

Liu Xing looked at Alice in surprise, not expecting her to say that.

But then again, Liu Xing felt that it was normal for Alice to say this, because if this was really a memory fragment, then it should indeed be integrated with himself, and the process of integration was the process of his dreaming.

This makes sense.
