"What a pity. Who would have thought that something like the Cthulhu Game Hall actually exists." Li Mengyao shook her head and said, "If Liu Xing's previous statement is correct, then our world may not have many years.
There is no future at all, so it doesn’t matter whether you and Qingqing get married or not."
Liu Xing sighed and said helplessly: "Yes, judging from the current situation, our world has embarked on an irreversible path of no return, and it is only a matter of time before it becomes history. But fortunately,
You have also become players in the Cthulhu Running Group game lobby, so you have left yourself a way out... My current thinking is very simple. If I find that something is wrong, I will immediately find a way to solve my problem.
All my friends and relatives have become players in the Cthulhu Run game lobby.”
"That's what I think too. After all, no one wants to lose their memory and be brainwashed into an NPC who only obeys the program, right?" Tian Qing looked at the sky and continued: "When I was watching "The Matrix" before,
I once thought about whether the world we live in is in a virtual space, but I didn’t expect that my dream would soon come true.”
"Do your best and obey fate." Liu Xing said helplessly.
After Tian Qing and Li Mengyao bid farewell to Liu's father and mother, Liu Xing casually made up a reason to go home and pack his things in order to avoid being nagged by his parents. After all, he might have to stay in the American continent for a long time.
, so it is still necessary to bring some change of clothes.
After packing his things, Liu Xing began to consider a question, that is, should he leave early?
At this time, Liu Xing saw the weird man again. This time he was still dressed in the same way, but Liu Xing noticed that his steps were a little frivolous, and his feet were almost touching, giving people the impression that he was
Astronaut on the moon.
So is this a human or a mythical creature?
Liu Xing shook his head and thought it would be better not to study this NPC anymore, lest he would be involved in this module.
"problem occurs!"
Just as Liu Xing was putting his suitcase in the living room, he suddenly heard a loud shout from outside.
Liu Xing subconsciously looked out the window and found several people running towards the entrance of the community.
"What happened?"
Liu Xing murmured to himself: "Did the NPC do it? That's not right. The NPC was walking in the opposite direction, and about half a minute had passed. So if something really happened at the gate of the community,
Well, it shouldn’t have anything to do with that NPC, right? Unless he set a trap?”
As Liu Xing spoke, he opened the door and walked out. He saw many people gathered around the entrance of the community, and there was an off-road vehicle lying in the middle of the road.
Was there a car accident?
However, the roads in the community are all two-way streets, and there has been no car accident in the community for so many years. Moreover, it is not easy to park the car straight in the middle of the road, unless the car is planned to be parked in the open-air parking area of the community.
.
Yes, could it be that when the car was preparing to stop, the driver stepped on the brake and stepped on the accelerator?
Liu Xing thought as he walked over, and then saw that there was no one on the off-road vehicle, and there was no one who looked like the owner of the vehicle around.
Could it be a pulley?
No, it should be that NPC!
Although there are currently no clues to prove that this NPC was responsible for this incident, Liu Xing has a hunch in his heart that this incident is closely related to that NPC.
When she came to the crowd, Liu Xing realized that just now, a mother and daughter were passing in front of the off-road vehicle. As a result, the off-road vehicle suddenly hit them. Fortunately, the mother and daughter reacted in time and immediately moved forward.
They rushed out, so they only had some scratches on their hands and feet, and now they have gone to Liu Xing's clinic to have their wounds treated.
As for the people who saw this scene, they originally thought that there was a driver in this off-road vehicle, and this driver might be determined to harm the mother and daughter. Otherwise, it would be impossible to hit the mother and daughter with the car, so everyone ran away
We came up intending to stop the driver from doing something more extreme, but when we came over we found that there was no one in the off-road vehicle.
"What's going on? Could it be that the brakes of this car failed?"
A passerby glanced at the ground and said even more doubtfully: "But there are no brake marks on the ground? Moreover, the open-air parking area of the community is made of hollow floor tiles, so even if the car is parked on it, it is unlikely that the brakes will fail.
Can you slide?"
Another passerby nodded and said seriously: "So did someone hide behind the off-road vehicle and push it just now? So... well, this is unlikely. I think this off-road vehicle is okay.
There is one that weighs one or two tons and is difficult for ordinary people to push."
"Then go to the guard room and retrieve the surveillance footage. There happens to be a surveillance camera opposite here. If someone is really causing trouble, it should be captured." A passerby at the beginning said with some worry: "But if there is no one in the surveillance footage,
, then this matter will be troublesome."
As soon as this statement came out, everyone present fell into silence, because if such a situation really happened, most people's first thought would be only one word - ghost.
Of course, from a scientific point of view, it is still possible that the off-road vehicle malfunctioned, but the time when the off-road vehicle malfunctioned was too coincidental? And the parking space where it was previously looked like there was nothing.
Ups and downs, the most important thing is that when the off-road vehicle determined that "it" had not hit the mother and daughter, it automatically stopped.
"Isn't this a remote-controlled car? I heard that many new cars are equipped with automatic driving systems recently. You only need to press a button to let it leave the parking space on its own?" another passerby said.
Liu Xing shook his head, pointed at the off-road vehicle and said: "This off-road vehicle looks like an old model at first glance, so it is unlikely to have an automatic driving system, and if it is modified later, abnormalities can be found with just one inspection later.
, so it’s still unrealistic to use a remote control car to harm people.”
"My little brother is right. It is very troublesome to install an automatic driving system or a remote control system on such an old off-road vehicle, and even ordinary people can see the problem with just one inspection, so anyone with a little brains can
He would not do this unless he could guarantee that he could remove all the modified parts as soon as possible after the incident."
A middle-aged man with unshaven beard stood up and said, and Liu Xing recognized this man at a glance as the owner of the car repair shop at the entrance of the community.
Some of the onlookers present also recognized the owner of the car repair shop, so they asked professionals what they thought of this matter.
The owner of the car repair shop shook his head and said seriously: "From a professional point of view, the reason why this off-road vehicle suddenly started and hit the mother and daughter who happened to be passing by, if the possibility of being remotely controlled is ruled out, then basically
It's just impossible to happen, and I just looked at the parking space, and there is no strange device on it that can make this off-road vehicle slide... So from my personal point of view, this may be a
supernatural event."
While the owner of the car repair shop was chatting, several security guards came over.
After hearing about the cause and effect of the incident, especially when the two owners were almost hit by a car, a security guard immediately ran to the guard room to retrieve the surveillance footage, while the remaining security guards asked the onlookers to stay back.
In order to avoid damaging the scene, the car owner can also be found through the license plate number.
Watching the excitement is not too big a deal. Liu Xing felt that he was idle when he was idle, so he always stood by and acted as a qualified onlooker, exchanging opinions with passers-by from time to time.
However, most passers-by at this time believed that the reason why the off-road vehicle suddenly hit people was either a one-in-a-million accident, or a ghost was at work.
Because most of the owners in the community are businessmen, everyone will more or less believe it. After all, it doesn’t cost anything to believe it.
As a result, five minutes later, Liu Xing saw a person who surprised him running over and admitted that he was the car owner.
River Song!
Liu Xing looked at Song He with a surprised look, pointed at the off-road vehicle and said, "Is this off-road vehicle yours? Why didn't I know about this?"
Song He wiped his sweat and said with a wry smile: "This is my father's car. After he and my mother moved away, he left it to me as a scooter. I can usually use it once or twice a week, but I use it every year."
The car has been inspected on time, and this year it was only inspected half a month ago, so there should be no problem with the car."
At this time, the owner of the car repair shop came over and said to Song He: "I see that your car is well maintained, but it is old, so accidents are normal, but you don't have to worry, the mother and father
The girl only has some scratches, and when the time comes, the most you can do is pay some medical expenses and mental damage compensation, or even tens of thousands of dollars."
"Then I'm relieved. When I just received the call, I thought something big had happened." Song He breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Since it's just a scratch, then the mother and daughter should be at Liu Xing's clinic now.
?So let’s go over and take a look now?”
As soon as Song He finished speaking, the security guard on the side stepped forward and said, "Mr. Song, I think it's better for you to stay here, because the police are coming soon."
Song He sighed and could only look at Liu Xing helplessly, and Liu Xing understood the situation and returned to his clinic to help his old friend inquire about the situation.
Fortunately, the scratches of the mother and daughter were not serious, and they should be able to heal in a few days after being disinfected and bandaged. However, they still have lingering fears about the situation at that time, and they look scared.
After all, you are walking normally on the road, and a car parked next to you suddenly hits you. Normal people will be shocked.
Although Liu Xing now wants to conduct preliminary negotiations with the mother and daughter on behalf of Song He to determine roughly what kind of compensation Song He needs to make to them, but looking at the mother and daughter who are a little distracted, Liu Xing feels that he should not provoke it now.
Their mood is relatively good, and judging from the current situation, Song He will probably not bear much responsibility, because there should be no problems with his off-road vehicle.
Of course, even if there is nothing wrong with Song He's off-road vehicle, the incident will end with "the off-road vehicle suddenly appeared abnormal". After all, it can't be said to be "ghostly", right?
So Song He is definitely taking the blame.
However, although Liu Xing at this time had determined that the NPC was related to this matter, Liu Xing still couldn't understand why he did this. However, Liu Xing was now certain that the NPC was most likely targeting Song He, otherwise
He would not deliberately put the blame on Song He; of course, there was still a one-tenth chance that it was a coincidence.
So who are these mother and daughter? Did the NPC deliberately target them? Or did he choose a random target?
Liu Xing took the opportunity to ask Liu's father during the break, and then learned that the mother and daughter were both named Zhang, but what was interesting was that they did not live in this community. They came here today after receiving an invitation from a friend.
Hearing this, Liu Xing felt that the NPC should be a randomly selected target, unless the NPC had already been trampled elsewhere, and then specifically caused accidents in this community to... Okay, Liu Xing
I still don’t understand what this NPC is doing!
As a senior player in the Cthulhu Run game lobby, Liu Xing feels that he is well-informed. He only needs to give himself a beginning to roughly understand the plot of this module, but now
, Liu Xing still doesn’t understand what this NPC wants to do, because what benefit will he get from doing this?
Things happen for a reason, and if there is a cause, there must be an effect.
But Liu Xing could neither find the "cause" nor the "effect", so Liu Xing began to wonder if his reasoning level had declined.
Could it be that I thought this module was too simple?
Liu Xing suddenly found that he had entered another misunderstanding. To put it simply, he subconsciously thought that this module might be related to Tian Qing and Li Mengyao, so he thought that this module belonged to a low-level area and would not have any twists.
Wander around.
Thinking of this, Liu Xing made a firm decision, that is, he would never participate in this module again, even if this module involves Song He.
Ever since, Liu Xing returned to the scene of the incident again. At this time, Song He was being questioned by the police. As for his off-road vehicle, the door was opened. Someone was already checking whether the vehicle had been modified.
.
As for the onlookers nearby, they were talking a lot, some of them had very strange expressions, and they all looked at Song He with a trace of pity.
Seeing this, Liu Xing knew that there should be no one else in the captured surveillance footage except the mother and daughter, so this became a supernatural event in the eyes of most passers-by.
