Real Cthulhu Running Game

Hearing that Alice was coming back, everyone hurriedly sat back to their seats. Zhang Jingxu gave them a wink, expressing that he wanted to chat with Alice later and asked everyone to cooperate with him.

Half a minute later, Alice walked in alone. Liu Xing could tell from Alice's depressed look that her conversation with Matsui Ichiro was not smooth.

And Zhang Jingxu also took this as a topic, and said: "Miss Alice, why do you look so sad, did you have a problem with Mr. Matsui Ichiro?"

Alice nodded, and said helplessly: "That's right, Mr. Ichiro Matsui is really too stubborn. He has always insisted on his own ideas at the beginning, and he doesn't know how to change it at all. I couldn't persuade him to move those inexplicable statues out of the ancestral hall of Fisherman's Village."

Idol?

Liu Xing raised his brows. He didn't expect Alice to say something wrong at this time, or tell the truth, and even called those strange statues in the ancestral hall of Fisherman's Village gods. Before that, Alice had always called those statues handicrafts.

In this way, it is possible that those statues are indeed statues of the Ocean True God Sect?

And Zhang Jingxu also grasped this point, and immediately asked: "Idols? Miss Alice, you mean those weird statues are gods, don't you mean they are handicrafts?"

Alice also realized at this time that she seemed to have said something wrong, but since Alice can be the intelligence officer of the Kyoto Branch of the Deep Sea Evangelical Society, it means that Alice still has two brushes.

So Alice reacted quickly, and said without changing expression, "Oh, those statues are indeed handicrafts, but they can also be classified into the category of god statues. After all, like those cross-shaped pendants, they can be regarded as jewelry, and they can also be used for prayer at certain times."

Zhang Jingxu pretended to be enlightened, and said with a smile: "So that's the case, Miss Alice, you see it clearly, but in this way, Miss Alice, are you trying to persuade Mr. Matsui Ichiro to take those statues out of the ancestral hall of Fisherman's Village because those statues are actually gods?"

Alice nodded, sighed, and said, "You're right, that's what I thought, because you should all be able to tell from the appearance of those god statues that the church that these god statues come from is not a regular church."

"Miss Alice, do you mean Mr. Matsui Ichiro believes in some evil secret church?!" Miyako Indus pretended to be shocked and said.

Alice sighed again, and said solemnly: "I'm not sure about this now, because I've been telling Mr. Matsui Ichiro what he said just now, trying to determine how much he knows about those idols, so as to determine whether Mr. Matsui Ichiro is a believer from an evil secret church. As a result, Mr. Matsui Ichiro's performance is really ambiguous, because according to my observation, Mr. Matsui Ichiro does not know the true origin of these idols, and his attitude towards these idols is not pious. , but no matter what I say, Mr. Matsui Ichiro has never let go, and he can always find various reasons for not wanting to move these statues, which makes me very helpless."

Zhang Jingxu also sighed, and said, "Let's forget it. Since Mr. Matsui Ichiro is unwilling, we outsiders had better stop interfering."

"No, no, no, I have to take care of this matter, because you may not know that the idols of these secret churches usually have a deceptive magic power, so that people who don't believe in them at first become their devout believers, because I have encountered such a thing before." Alice said seriously.

Then, Alice began to tell her "personal experience".

Alice is an Englishman, born in a wealthy area in London, her parents are well-known local lawyers.

When Alice grew up, she would often listen to her parents at the dinner table discussing some of the cases they had handled, including some supernatural cases.

For example, in London's long history, in the four -way subway network, there are often reports of witnessing mysterious creatures in the middle of the night. The most important thing is that there have been a midnight subway serial murder case. The victims were waiting for a car alone at a remote subway station. When they were in the blind area of ​​the surveillance camera, they suddenly made a scream, and then accompanied a certain sharp tool to tear up a sharp tool The sound of the cracks disappeared, but the large amount of blood and minced meat left from the ground can see that the victim has no possibility of returning.

In just half a month, nearly fifty victims appeared, and none of them survived. Because of the need to maintain order, the London police did not dare to make these incidents public. They could only conduct a closed investigation into this terrible midnight serial murder case. They also kept silent about the family members of the victims, only saying that the victim might have been kidnapped.

At that time, Alice's father was still working in the police station. When he was about to get off work one day, the police station suddenly announced that after the subway was shut down tonight, all the police would cooperate with the temporarily deployed army to search along the subway line and arrest the murderer who might be hiding in the subway.

At first, Alice's father didn't pay much attention to it, but when Alice's father came to the designated subway station in the middle of the night and looked at the heavily armed army, he realized that something was wrong.

Therefore, this alerted Alice's father, and after assigning the team to start the operation, he deliberately walked to the middle, which was also the safest position.

After a while, Alice's father suddenly heard the sound of someone firing in front of them, and it was the sound of more than a dozen people firing at the same time, but what surprised Alice's father even more was that it was accompanied by a strange howling sound, a howling sound that is definitely not human beings.

As a result, Alice's father rushed to the scene of the incident with his team, and then saw a scene that he would never forget and ruined his three views-two ghouls were eating the corpses, and these corpses were naturally from the team members who had just exchanged fire with them, including Alice's father's best colleagues and friends.

Then, Alice's father felt that his brain went blank, and he only felt that the gunshots in his ears were getting farther and farther away. After Alice's father came back to his senses, he found that he had been sent to the hospital. It was already the next night.

After Alice's father was discharged from the hospital, he submitted a resignation letter to the police force and chose to quit the police force to become a lawyer, because Alice's father did not want to face those terrible ghouls again.

However, Alice's father was still very curious about the ins and outs of the case, so he found his colleague Chris who was assigned to the same team as him that night.

Just because Chris performed well in the operation that night and killed a ghoul with his own hands, he got a chance to be promoted, and only then did he have a way to get in touch with the truth of the case.

In this case, there were a total of five ghouls, two large, three small, and five ghouls. These five ghouls were originally a happy family of five, a middle-class family living in London.

Because the family of five are Chelsea fans, they followed the home team to Manchester City a year ago to watch the game between Manchester United and Chelsea, because this game is related to the ownership of the league championship this season.

Then, Manchester United won the game.

Although a little depressed, the family of five quickly adjusted their mentality and began to visit Manchester, buying various souvenirs, including a statue in the shape of a ghoul.

Later, the police found the merchant who sold the statue. To put it bluntly, it was a street stall owner. The street stall owner said that someone else put the statue on consignment for sale. Although the person who consigned the statue said that the statue came from a certain old castle, he asked the street stall owner to sell the statue at a low price.

Then, the police have not yet found the person who consigned the statue. . .

Closer to home.

The family of five returned to London with the statue, which was placed in his room by the eldest son, who was in his teenage years, because it looked so curious.

Half a year later, the eldest son began to express in school that he often had nightmares and was chased and killed by a ghoul. After another three months, the five members of the family all expressed that they had nightmares every day on various occasions.

Then, one month before the midnight subway serial murder, the five members of the family suddenly disappeared at the same time. At that time, the London police also received a missing report and conducted an investigation. . . Of course, the result is naturally nothing.

Therefore, after the police invited a highly respected magician in London, they officially identified the murderer of the midnight subway serial murder. The five ghouls were the missing family of five, and the reason why they became like this was because of the statue.

As for the statue, it was never found in the end, but the magician had determined that the statue came from a branch of the Corpse Eater Cult, and it was also the statue of the secret church.

After listening to Alice's narration, Liu Xing couldn't help frowning. He didn't expect Alice's father to have come into contact with ghouls, although Alice's father fell into a temporary state of madness at that time.

But what concerned Liu Xing the most was that the colleague of Alice's father was named Chris.

Because if nothing else happens, this Chris is likely to be Elizabeth's adoptive father, and Elizabeth is the hidden boss in the module when Liu Xing played the first official Cthulhu running game, and the hundred-year-old witch who successfully charmed Liu Xing!

And the statue that turned a family of five into ghouls was bought by the family of five in Manchester, and the consignor of the statue claimed that it was an antique from an old castle, and this old castle should be the old castle where Elizabeth once lived.

Therefore, Liu Xing suspects that the consignor of the statue is probably Elizabeth's brother Gary.

Things are impermanent.

Gary has now been killed by his servant ghoul, and Elizabeth has become Chris's adopted daughter. . . Although Elizabeth can be Chris's grandmother.

As for himself, he changed from "Liu Xing" to "Watanabe Meteor", and met Alice again.

Now Liu Xing has a vague premonition that he may meet Elizabeth again, and he will walk with Alice.

After telling her father's story, Alice concluded: "A lesson learned from others, and a lesson learned from others. Although you may think that I am a little too worried about doing this, I must say that there is nothing wrong with being careful. Although those statues have not had any substantial impact on us, if you find yourself growing fish scales that day, it will be too late. Well, I will go back to my room to rest first."

After Alice finished speaking, she went upstairs.

However, Liu Xing suddenly noticed that there was a flash of dark green at the junction of Alice's right wrist and sleeve, which attracted Liu Xing's attention.

When Liu Xing wanted to continue observing, Alice had already turned and went upstairs.

This made Liu Xing fall into silence. If he hadn't been dazzled, the trace of dark green on Alice's wrist might be a scale!

Combined with what Alice said at the end, Liu Xing was more sure of his thoughts.

The most important thing is that Liu Xing found from the memory of "Watanabe Meteor" that the Deep Sea Evangelical Society has indeed mastered a technology that can transform people into "deep divers", but this technology is not yet mature.

From this point, Liu Xing can also deduce that although the Deep Sea Gospel Society believes in the deep divers, it does not have close contact with the deep divers.

Having said that, as a middle-level cadre of the Deep Sea Evangelical Church, it is reasonable for Alice to accept "deep diverization".

However, Liu Xing could tell from Alice's tone that Alice didn't want to "deep diver". After all, if Alice wanted to, she wouldn't say the word "fish scale".

Therefore, Liu Xing is now more and more curious about the NPC Alice.

Hearing the sound of Alice entering the room, Zhang Jingxu said with a smile, "Okay, after Alice leaves the villa, I'll get some anti-magic dust, and then, Ishikawa Ling, you have to run again and enter Alice's room to get rid of the composite magic circle. Of course, Ishikawa Ling, don't worry, we won't watch your actions."

Shi Chuanling nodded dumbfoundingly.

And Miyako Indus, who was watching the wind just now, asked very curiously: "By the way, by the way, Ishikawa Ling, did you not answer my question just now?"
