"Haha, I know what you want to say Liu Xing. The relationship between the King in Yellow and Hastur is indeed a bit like the situation between me and Nyarlathotep..."
Having said this, Ao Guanhai suddenly fell into silence, and Liu Xing did not dare to express his anger. After all, the old man in front of him could give him an account ban package at any time.
I don’t know how long it took before Ao Guanhai said: “Forget it, since I want to ask you for help now, then I will tell the truth. Yes, Nyarlathotep is the same as Hastur today.
, it can no longer control me and other clones, because it was injured by Shub Nicholas and Yog-Sothoth before the Cthulhu Run Game Hall was established, and now it has fallen into a sleep that may last forever.
.”
Um?!
The breaking news now shocked Liu Xing, because what Ao Guanhai said could no longer be described as an explosion of information. This was completely Big Bang-level news.
First of all, Ao Guanhai admitted that the Cthulhu Run Game Hall was established by Nyarlathotep... Although this was also within the expectations of Liu Xing and many other players, because for Nayarlathotep, who likes to make pranks,
As far as Nyarlathotep is concerned, it is a normal thing to establish a Cthulhu Running Team game hall, and judging from the current Cthulhu Running Team game hall, there are only Nyarlathotep of this level.
Only existence can create it.
Then Nyarlathotep was attacked by his "good" brothers and sisters - Shub Nicholas and Yog-Sothoth, so he was seriously injured and fell into a deep sleep, and it was very likely that he would not be able to sleep at all.
From now on, this is equivalent to a brain-dead vegetative person. Although he looks alive, he is already dead.
This is a bit confusing to Liu Xing, because if according to the setting of "Cthulhu Mythos", although the relationship between Nyarlathotep and other three pillar gods cannot be said to be good, it should not be bad.
After all, they all have the same immediate boss - Azathoth, so they should be like colleagues in the company. Even if they don't like each other, they will work together relatively harmoniously. Unless something big really happens, otherwise
It is impossible for both sides to break up.
So, what happened to Nyarlathotep and the three of them that caused Nyarlathotep to end up like this?
Finally, and most importantly, Liu Xing was able to hear the implication of Ao Guanhai's words - now Nyarlathotep can no longer control these clones, and Nyarlathotep himself is already in a state of disarray.
This is a state of "death or death", so Ao Guanhai and other clones have already had the idea of "downcoming the upper level".
At the same time, Ao Guanhai is also preparing to cooperate with him.
Is it so exciting?
Liu Xing frowned. He didn't expect that an ordinary player like himself would one day meet the legendary Nyarlathotep... Although Nyarlathotep had fallen into a deep sleep at this time,
Liu Xing can be sure that an existence of this level will definitely leave some backup for him, and even if Ao Guanhai and other clones work together, they may not be able to kill the sleeping Nyarlathotep.
"Liu Xing, it seems that you have thought clearly about what I said."
Ao Guanhai suddenly said: "Then I will continue now. First of all, you don't need to worry about Sabu Nicholas and Yog-Sothoth taking action in the Cthulhu Run Game Hall, because they can't do anything in my game.
I have to retreat completely from the main body, especially my main body is ready to die together, so they should also be recuperating in their respective territories now. It will be impossible for them to come out for tens of thousands of years, but this is also the case for us clones.
Prepare to replace the original reason."
"Because after Shub Nicholas and Yog-Sothoth recover, they will most likely choose to eradicate the roots and destroy the Cthulhu Run Game Hall, because the Cthulhu Run Game Hall is, to put it bluntly, the survival capsule of the main body.
, so the Cthulhu Running Game Hall has been destroyed, and the main body will also be wiped out with it... Of course, in a sense, the current main body is the Cthulhu Running Game Hall."
"According to you humans, the Cthulhu Running Game Hall is a mobile phone, and my body is the motherboard of the phone. Without the body, it is impossible for the Cthulhu Running Game Hall to run normally, and it is impossible to allow
You players have such a perfect and real experience. Of course, those players who have been wiped out have become the battery of this phone, so the Cthulhu Run game lobby has been constantly recruiting players."
Having said this, Ao Guanhai suddenly smiled again, shook his head and said: "Actually, the Cthulhu Running Group Game Hall already existed more than a hundred years ago. At that time, my body had already realized that I and Sabu Nicholas,
The conflict between Yog-Sothoth and Yog-Sothoth is getting bigger and bigger, so just to be on the safe side, he created the Cthulhu Running Game Hall as his back-up; but in order to better gather players, the main body decided to
Find a spokesperson - Lovecraft, and let him write "Cthulhu Mythos" to attract more people's attention."
"Uh, I have a question."
At this time, Liu Xing couldn't help but ask: "Why don't your bodies directly absorb humans as nutrients? This is convenient and fast, and there is no need to engage in a game-playing scene."
"Your question hits the mark. Although the main body can directly destroy the earth with a wave of its hand, and even make the entire solar system devoid of debris, this is of no help to the main body at all, because the main body needs at this time
It is the energy used to maintain survival, but when it comes to the existence of the main body, eating can no longer meet the energy required for their daily activities, especially after the main body is in a deep sleep state, he can no longer complete normal eating and digestion.
"
"So in fact, after reaching the level of the Old Ones, except for a few people who are still interested in eating, everyone else has given up eating and turned to other ways to obtain energy. The most basic one is
Energy is obtained by absorbing various cosmic rays, but this requires active guidance and transformation by the absorber, which is impossible for a body that has lost consciousness and fallen asleep."
"So, the main body chose another kind of energy - soul energy. Simply put, it is a kind of spiritual energy that every living thing possesses. The reason why some old rulers gather their dependents and let them worship themselves is
If you want to absorb the soul energy of these dependents through various rituals, of course you can also directly drain the soul energy of the creatures through active methods; and the Cthulhu Running Group Game Hall is a semi-automatic juicer that triggers the corresponding conditions
After that, the player’s soul energy will be squeezed out.”
Ao Guanhai sighed and continued: "Unfortunately, the actual operators responsible for extracting energy are our clones, so we were created by the main body to maintain the Cthulhu Running Group Game Hall, but the main body
They are also wary of us. After all, the main body itself is very scheming, so we who are born out of it are also good at intrigues, and at the same time, we are not willing to be subordinate to others. I believe Liu Xing, you should understand what I mean."
Liu Xing nodded quickly in agreement.
Ao Guanhai nodded with satisfaction, and then said: "At the beginning, the Cthulhu Running Group Game Hall was very weak, because the main body knew that if it gave the Cthulhu Running Group Game at the beginning
If the various functions of the lobby are directly evolved into the complete version, it may lead to the prying eyes of Shub Nicholas and Yog-Sothoth. By then, the Cthulhu Run Game Hall will not be able to escape the fate of being destroyed, so the main body will only be
We can choose to only create the general structure of the Cthulhu Run game hall, and then let us clones add to it."
"Also for the sake of concealment, the Cthulhu Run game lobby cannot directly turn ordinary people into players, so Lovecraft is needed to help promote it, so that fans of the Cthulhu Myth can be labeled as
If you mark a mark, you will automatically get a ticket to the Cthulhu Running Game Hall; and at the beginning, there is really only one table in the Cthulhu Running Game Hall, and then the players will sit there and play the Cthulhu Running Game Hall.
The game slowly developed into what it is now."
Having said this, Ao Guanhai looked at Liu Xing who was a little confused and asked, "Liu Xing, do you have any questions? If so, just ask."
"Well, I want to know whether the mythical creatures, old rulers, and NPCs in the Cthulhu Running Game Hall are real, or are they created by the Cthulhu Running Game Hall." Liu Xing asked seriously.
.
Ao Guanhai had actually guessed that Liu Xing would ask this question, so he answered directly: "I know you still can't let go of Alice, so let me tell you this. Parallel worlds do exist, but because Cthulhu ran away
The group game lobby is sometimes unstable, so reality will be distorted, that is, some mythical creatures and old rulers will appear in the real world, so even if this parallel world is finished, it may also cause
Shub Nicholas and Yog-Sothoth noticed the anomaly, so the Cthulhu Run Game Hall went crazy."
"However, because of the special characteristics of the players, the Cthulhu Run Game Hall will also take them with them to run away. However, after arriving in a new parallel world, it will be very troublesome for these old players to mix with new players. After all, the old players
But we witnessed the destruction of our homeland with our own eyes, so we can only erase the memories of these old players and turn them into NPCs, and they are all NPCs with plots like Alice. Yes, I can tell by looking at your expression Liu Xing that you have already
Guessed the truth of the matter."
Liu Xing nodded with a surprised look on his face and said: "What you mean is that the NPCs in the Cthulhu Running Game Hall are divided into two types. One is the preset passerby NPC in the Cthulhu Running Game Hall, and
The other type is players transformed from other destroyed parallel worlds, players who can interact with players and have their own plots."
"That's right, because although we clones are the managers of the Cthulhu Running Group game hall, in order to prevent us from having unnecessary ideas, the main body has set some important rules that we cannot change. One of them is that we
You cannot interfere with the judgment results of the dice, and apart from the players, the only people who can use the dice are this group of special NPCs, because they are essentially players; this is why the ontology created the Cthulhu Run game lobby when
The only loophole left that can be effectively exploited by clones like us."
At this moment, Ao Guanhai's expression suddenly became excited, "Because the Cthulhu Run Game Hall has actually set up a set of modules at the beginning, so in the previous parallel worlds
, players are actually playing the same set of modules, and there is almost no room for change in the plots of these modules. This means that players can directly pass the level as long as they make the right choice. Of course, if they make a wrong choice
The choice will also tear up the card on the spot.”
As he spoke, a colorful magazine appeared in Ao Guanhai's hand.
"This is a bit like the personality test that you humans like to play. You decide which personality type abcd you belong to by choosing some right or wrong questions. This seems to be quite good, but in fact it does not give players free choice.
There is no room for it, because if you want to get the correct answer, you have to make some choices, even if these choices are ones you don’t want to choose; so you humans invented a new set of personality tests, and this set of tests became the same
A question has four choices, each choice corresponds to a different score, and then the score range determines the final answer.”
"The test of this improved version has given us inspiration, because if we still use the same old module to deal with you players, then the layout of the Cthulhu Run game lobby will remain unchanged, because all processes and results are still in the main body.
As expected, we introduced those special NPCs into the game and gave them more roles. This made the Cthulhu Run game lobby more colorful, and these changes also made
We clones have more initiative...or in other words, it gives us the possibility to replace the original body."
Ao Guanhai looked at Liu Xing and said very seriously: "But after all, we are clones of the main body, so even if we have a disobedient heart, we can't really do anything detrimental to the main body, so we
Players need to be their spokespersons and win in the final module, which is the only module in the Azathoth area, so that all the clones will merge into one again, so that the winner will get something that can replace the main body.
The power; so, Liu Xing, do you want to be my spokesperson?"
