"I believe everyone can guess what happened next. Miskatonic University organized multiple investigation teams to conduct detailed investigations into Professor Frank's laboratory. The results still found nothing, but what is interesting is that Professor Frank and his students
Each of us left something in the laboratory. For example, the notebook in my hand was left by Eric in the laboratory, and Professor Frank left a pen made of pure gold.
The pen was given to him by his deceased wife many years ago, so the pen has now been returned to Professor Frank's eldest daughter by Miskatonic University. In addition, basically everything left by other students
They are cherished things they carry with them, such as gifts from their significant other, or small jewelry they got in the first lottery." Shimazu Nakano said seriously.
Hearing this, Liu Xing knew that this was a very classic Cthulhu-style story - a professor of occult science obtained a very mysterious thing through some means, so he summoned his students to conduct research, and the result was that
In the process, some kind of powerful mythical creature was summoned, or a door to an unknown world was opened. In short, these people either voluntarily or were forced to go to another world.
But what makes Liu Xing interesting is that these people all left behind their "important belongings" before disappearing.
In the Cthulhu Running Game, the player's character card has an optional item which is an important item, and this "important item" is a double-edged sword. If used well, it can turn the tide, but if used poorly, it may turn the tide.
A reminder; however, in the Cthulhu Run game lobby, the player's character cards are randomly generated by the system, so these character cards are initially filled in the options such as "Important Items" and "Important People".
The items are blank. Only as players continue to participate in the module to increase their experience, these optional items will be improved one by one.
Of course, if you want to turn one of your props into an "important item" so that you can carry it with you, then you have to use this prop in every module, and it is best to
Use this prop at a very important moment, so that this prop will become your "important item". In this way, even if your prop is a prohibited item in some modules, you can still
There is a way to bring this item into the mod.
Therefore, there are many posts in the forum jokingly saying that these players are too utilitarian. "Important items" are all kinds of props, unlike NPCs who only take things that are commemorative to themselves.
Consider it an important item.
Therefore, Liu Xing now has a guess - Eric is most likely a player, while Professor Frank and other students are NPCs.
Although Eric uses this notebook to record a lot of things, this notebook is not a diary for recording daily life, so if Eric is an NPC, then this notebook cannot be his "important item".
If this is the case, then this Cthulhu-style story is actually a module that has ended, but this module is also very special. At the last moment, it allows players and NPCs to leave their most important things in this world, and
Eric probably kept this notebook for some purpose.
Thinking of this, Liu Xing was about to say something when he noticed something was wrong with the expressions of Yin En and Ding Kun.
Sure enough, this notebook is a bit unusual.
It's a pity that I haven't regained my player status yet, so I can't immediately know what's special about this notebook.
However, Liu Xing was not idle either, taking this opportunity to give Sawada Yayin a wink.
Sawada Yaon understood it and said with a smile: "No wonder Mr. Nakano would arrange for your nephew to take such a big risk to get this notebook. It turns out that this notebook has such a great origin. You must know the occult science of Miskatonic University.
He can be said to be the best in the world in his profession, but even if all of us here put together, we may not know as much as Eric, so the content recorded in his notebook should be very valuable."
"Yes, a lot of the contents recorded in this notebook opened my eyes. You know, I have been reading this notebook since I entered this ward."
As Sawada Nakano spoke, he handed the notebook in his hand to Sawada Yaon, "If you, Miss Sawada, are willing to help me, then this notebook will be regarded as the deposit given to you by our Shimadzu family. I won't care about it at that time."
Whether things go smoothly, our Shimazu family will give you some good things from the Sawada family, such as the last ten cards recorded in this notebook."
Ten cards?
Element detection!
Liu Xing couldn't help but put his eyes on the notebook, and then glanced at Yin En and Ding Kun, while Yin En and Ding Kun nodded lightly.
Seeing this, Liu Xing roughly knew what the purpose of this notebook was.
This should be your passport to Miskatonic University!
In other words, it is a necessary prop to open the promotion module!
It seems that this notebook must be obtained.
Although he was a little excited in his heart, Liu Xing was still acting like a drinking machine with an expressionless face, because the protagonists of today's transaction were Shimazu Nakano and Sawada Yaon.
Therefore, everything depends on the performance of Sawada Yaon.
After taking the diary, Sawada Yaon casually opened the notebook, and then the expression on his face suddenly became serious.
This surprised Liu Xing and the other three, because although Sawada Yaon is not very old, as a genius girl and a humanoid mythical creature, Sawada Yaon is also well-informed, especially after meeting Taketori.
, Sawada Yaon often heard some "ancient secrets" from Taketori.
Therefore, being able to put on a serious expression on Sawada Yaon's face, it seems that the content recorded in this notebook is more high-end and classy than Liu Xing and the others imagined.
Could it be that a certain Old One was involved?
Liu Xing couldn't help but glance at the notebook in Sawada Miyin's hand, and found that there was a simple map on the page that Sawada Miyin opened, with some important facilities marked on it, such as the imperial palace and so on.
etc.
Liu Xing frowned and found that this somewhat scrawled map seemed familiar. To be precise, the outline of this area on the map seemed familiar.
Ziwu City!
Liu Xing thought about it carefully and found that this map was almost exactly the same as Ziwu City in terms of outline, and some of the important facilities marked on this map could also be matched with some of the current areas of Ziwu City, such as the Imperial Palace.
Located in the archaeological area on the outskirts of Ziwu City, the shrine corresponds to the Kanna Shrine in Ziwu City.
But when it comes to Kanna Shrine, Liu Xing can't help but think of Kanna Ryoko, and he doesn't know if Kanna Ryoko can come out to help his group now... This is most likely impossible, because Kesu
Lu Paotuan Game Hall will not let Kanna Ryoko come out to break the balance. After all, Kanna Ryoko is already a demigod-level human NPC in Liu Xing's opinion. Her strength should be on the same level as Dagon, and better than a certain unnamed person.
How high could a dawdling ancient god be?
Thinking of this, Liu Xing suddenly realized one thing, that is, Ziwu City is really a Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. The NPCs inside are more buggy than others, such as Sawada Yaon and Otonashi Takuya, as well as those who have already received their lunch boxes.
Mikage Ichi is a humanoid mythical creature, and some other NPCs who are just walk-ons are not that bad. As for Tomohiko Sawada, he is a bug-level existence that can damage 999 with one knife. Ryoko Kanna and the King of Tindalos who exist in other time and space are
A BOSS-level figure that is infinitely close to the old rulers.
So how can a module with so many powerful NPCs joining it be just an ordinary module for the ghoul area?
This is like a movie with many movie stars and movie stars joining the cast, but in the end it is only released on one video website. Isn't this a joke?
It seems that there is a module hidden in Ziwu City that has not been triggered, a module that can only be triggered by players in the Cthulhu area.
And the triggering condition of this module may be this notebook, because as long as nothing unexpected happens, the simple map is the Kingdom of Tindalos.
But here comes the problem again. The Kingdom of Tindalos is just a plaything of King Tindalos, so it is a kingdom. In fact, the area is only that big, and the population may not exceed 100,000. Therefore, the Kingdom of Tindalos is only
It is recorded in the local county annals of Ziwu City, and even most ordinary citizens in Ziwu City may only know the name Tindalos Kingdom.
So why did Eric draw a map of the Kingdom of Tindalos in his notebook? Where did he hear about the Kingdom of Tindalos, and how did he know how to draw a map of the Kingdom of Tindalos?
Liu Xing didn’t think Eric was scribbling casually.
"Miss Sawada, it seems that you are really lucky. You unexpectedly found the records about the Kingdom of Tindaros when you flipped through it. Let me tell you the truth here. I learned that your Sawada family joined the Wu family.
After the faction, I began to investigate the situation of your Sawada family, and then I learned about the legend of the Kingdom of Tindalos. By the way, I also heard the story about the ancestor of your Sawada family, Sawada Tomohiko, so when I saw this page
I decided to use this notebook as a deposit because I know that after reading this page, Ms. Sawada, you will not refuse to cooperate with our Shimadzu family." Shimadzu Nakano said with confidence.
Sawada Yaon sighed, closed the notebook and said: "Yes, I really have no way to give up this notebook now, because this notebook is very important to our Sawada family, so Mr. Nakano, if you can promise not to give up this notebook,
If the contents of the notebook about the Kingdom of Tindaros are made public, then our Sawada family is willing to cooperate with your Shimazu family's actions."
Hearing what Sawada Miyin said, Liu Xing and the other two people were all surprised. They didn't expect Sawada Miyin to value this notebook so much.
"Of course, I know very well how important the contents of this notebook about the Kingdom of Tindaros are to your Sawada family, so I can assure you, Miss Sawada, that I will not use any of the contents in this notebook.
It was revealed to others, but I must state something here first. I can only guarantee that among the current Wu family faction, I am the only one who has seen this notebook, but the public faction has controlled my unlucky nephew.
I can't guarantee how many people will read this notebook after that, because after all, this notebook is just an ordinary notebook. Unlike those magic books, you can check whether it has been read by others through spell marks."
Tsunakano said with a serious face.
Sawada Yaon nodded and said: "I understand, but I also want to know, Mr. Nakano, why did you buy this notebook? According to my understanding of Miskatonic University, they should put these in the first place
The items were returned to the families of the missing persons."
"Yes, after Miskatonic University determined that there was nothing wrong with the notebook, it immediately returned the notebook to Eric's brother, because Eric's brother was also studying at Miskatonic University, but
He majored in computer science, so Eric's brother had a very normal relationship with his noisy younger brother, even a little repulsive, because Eric often brought back things that made him feel very uncomfortable.
At home, Eric’s brother decided to sell the notebook after he got it.”
"Because the Department of Occult Studies at Miskatonic University is very famous, there is a bar near Miskatonic University that is very famous. This bar only allows entry to occult enthusiasts who have passed their test. Of course, Miskatonic University's occult
Students and professors are all super VIPs of this bar. Not only can they enter without a test, but they can also spend free of charge. The most important thing is that the owner of this bar often puts out the occult items he finds for exhibitions and even auctions.
Over time, this bar became a specialized flea market."
"So, Eric's brother took Eric's notebook and some occult items that Eric had placed in the dormitory and went to the bar to sell them. As a result, one person quickly bought them all.
And this person happens to be a friend of mine; although this friend of mine is an ordinary person, he is very interested in occultism, so he often goes to that bar to buy some very high-end occult items.
After hearing about Eric, he bought everything with a wave of his hand, and then made a video call to me and asked me to help him identify the authenticity of these things."
