In the Cthulhu Run game, when an NPC suddenly returns to his hometown, and if his life changes drastically after that, then there is a high probability that some unspeakable things happened to this NPC in his hometown.
Sure enough, Zhang Junmin quickly mentioned that when he was cleaning the second floor, he discovered that there was a skylight in a locked room on the second floor, which allowed people to go up to the roof of the two-story building.
This makes Zhang Junmin feel a little strange, because skylights like this leading to the roof are usually opened near the stairs. If you get a ladder next to it, you can easily go up and down the roof. Of course, if you are willing to spend money, you can continue
If you build stairs going up, you won't be able to open a skylight in a room anyway.
What's more, the elder who left this house to Zhang Junmin broke his leg a long time ago, so he couldn't continue farming. He had to borrow money to build this house and open a small shop. At that time, the person who lent him the most money was
Zhang Junmin's parents, so this elder will hand over his inheritance to Zhang Junmin; therefore, this elder's legs and feet are not very agile, so it should be impossible for him to climb up to the roof through this skylight, not to mention that from the outside, the roof of the building
There is nothing, unlike my neighbor next door who grows vegetables on the roof or even makes a pond to raise some fish caught from the river.
But at this time, Zhang Junmin, who was standing in front of the small building, realized that his two-story building was taller than the two-story buildings of his neighbors. It was about half a meter taller, so from the next door neighbor,
It’s hard to see clearly what’s going on on the roof of your home.
This is interesting, because in small towns like Zhang Junmin's hometown, those are the "construction teams" responsible for building buildings, so the shapes of these two-story buildings should be similar, unless the owner specifically proposes it.
requested.
Therefore, Zhang Junmin was very curious as to why his elder had to build an extra half meter of height. After all, it seemed unnecessary to do so, and Zhang Junmin didn't notice anything strange when he was cleaning before.
So, Zhang Junmin, who was curious, borrowed a ladder from his neighbor's house, and then went to the roof of the building through the skylight. However, at this time, Zhang Junmin also paid attention to the height of the first and second floors, but he still couldn't tell.
Is there any obvious height difference between my building and the building next door?
So is the extra half meter the ceiling between the first and second floors?
Anyway, judging from the thickness of the skylight, Zhang Junmin doesn’t think there’s anything wrong with the thickness of the ceiling on the second floor.
After arriving at the top of the building, Zhang Junmin saw more than a dozen sealed clay pots on it. The largest ones were about the same size as gasoline barrels, while the smaller ones were the same size as common casseroles.
However, Zhang Junmin was not surprised because he knew that his elder's family was originally specialized in making various pottery. As a result, an accident occurred more than 20 years ago - the kiln for firing pottery suddenly broke down.
There was an explosion, so the elders and their family were killed and injured, so naturally they could no longer practice this craft.
When he heard this, Liu Xing was very curious about why the kiln exploded? Logically speaking, there was only air in the kiln besides soil and charcoal, so it was unlikely to meet the conditions for explosion...
Unless the kiln is suddenly completely sealed, then the air pressure in the kiln changes significantly, and finally the kiln cannot withstand the pressure and explodes.
Or someone put explosives in the kiln.
However, in Liu Xing's opinion, even if this kind of kiln suddenly exploded, it would not be possible to hurt all Zhang Junmin's elders and family, right? Unless the whole family was next to the kiln at that time.
It seems that there may be another hidden reason for this accident.
However, before Liu Xing had time to raise his question, Zhang Junmin continued talking on his own.
In Zhang Junmin's opinion, these pots were brought to this building by his elders because they were nostalgic for the past. However, because these pots would be too intrusive to be placed anywhere else, they could only be placed in this building.
On the top; this also explains the existence of the skylight, just to allow our elders to come up and look at these pots when they are free, and recall the past.
Of course, having said that, Zhang Junmin still had some doubts about these pottery pots, because these pottery pots seemed to be of good workmanship, so why didn't he sell these pottery pots when his parents were so poor that they had to borrow money everywhere?
How about exchanging money? You must know that so many clay pots could be exchanged for hundreds of dollars at that time, right?
More importantly, these pottery pots are all sealed, that is, a layer of yellow clay is used between the pot and the lid. This sealing method may damage the pottery if you are not careful when opening it.
The jar will be damaged, so most people will put a layer of plastic film inside, which not only makes it easier to open, but also effectively protects the jar.
Therefore, Zhang Junmin was very puzzled by this, because although this elder of his family was clumsy and could not inherit the skill of making pottery pots and went to farm, he had always been exposed to it, and it was impossible for him to not know about this kind of thing.
So Zhang Junmin suddenly had a bold idea, that is, there might be something in these clay pots. Therefore, his elder did not intend to let them see the light of day again, so he directly sealed them with yellow mud and placed them here.
Above the roof! At the same time, in order to prevent the neighbors next door from seeing these pots, he specially asked the construction team to raise it by half a meter when building this building!
Finally, after the roof was capped, the elder found a way to place these pots on the roof, and then deliberately placed the only skylight leading to the roof in a room. Obviously, he did not want others to go up to the roof to open it.
These clay pots.
Just when this story was getting to its most critical moment, Zhang Junmin's cell phone suddenly rang.
"Well, Li Xue asked me to hurry over and prepare a toast, so I took the first step."
After Zhang Junmin finished speaking, he ran out directly without waiting for Liu Xing's reply. It seemed that he was quite "afraid" of Li Xue.
Liu Xing, who only listened to half of the story, was naturally a little depressed. He also wanted to know what was in those clay pots and whether it was related to the Cthulhu Running Group game hall. As a result, the storyteller suddenly ran away.
The road was gone, which made Liu Xing a little unable to get up and get off. In short, it was very uncomfortable.
What did the pangolin say back then?
However, Liu Xing can still infer some content from the first half of the story, but it depends on who of Zhang Junmin and Li Xue will be the villain in this module.
If the villain of this module is Li Xue, then those pottery jars may just be some debris, or simply some empty jars, so Zhang Junmin did not have any accidents during his time in his hometown, and he may end up with himself
His first wife broke up peacefully, and the reason was to "marry" into Li Xue's family... Of course, it is also possible that Li Xue used money as a bargaining chip to force Zhang Junmin to be with him. Of course, Li Xue's purpose of doing this
Maybe he wanted to hurt Zhang Junmin's waist without anesthesia.
And if the villain in this module is Zhang Junmin, or if Zhang Junmin and Li Xue are both villains, then there may be some shameful things in these pots. At the same time, Zhang Junmin’s first wife and her
The child may no longer exist and has become a stepping stone for Zhang Junmin; then Zhang Junmin and Li Xue's marriage should be regarded as a "strong cooperation", with both parties contributing money and effort, and preparing to do something big together.
Of course, Liu Xing felt that the possibility of Li Xue and Zhang Junmin being both villains was not high, because if they were really like-minded, today's wedding would not be so petty.
Finally, there is the most unlikely possibility, that is, Zhang Junmin’s first wife is the real mastermind behind this module, because her existence is quite special, and Zhang Junmin had no choice but to marry her a few years ago.
The daughter-in-law of the family, and from the news Liu Xing heard before, it took less than half a month for Zhang Junmin to confirm that he would marry her. Therefore, Liu Xing had reason to suspect that the Cthulhu Run Team Game Hall was editing the module.
Sometimes, this woman will be set to be a member of a secret church. Due to some reasons, she temporarily left the secret church. As for her child, it is possible that she is not biological.
Then because this woman needed a place to stay and a new identity, but it was difficult for her to take care of a child. Fortunately, she met Zhang Junmin; and after returning to Zhang Junmin’s hometown, this woman met the villagers
There were not many people on the street in normal times, so he started to return to his old business, and finally succeeded in controlling Zhang Junmin, and used Zhang Junmin to attack Li Xue again.
But having said that, Liu Xing suddenly thought of a strange thing, that is, Li Xue mentioned before that she reunited with Zhang Junmin in the hotel where Zhang Junmin worked, and gradually developed a relationship with Zhang Junmin in the subsequent work.
Love, but the problem is that Zhang Junmin just said that he returned to his hometown to open a small supermarket not long after his first marriage, so the time and place are not right!
Thinking of this, Liu Xing took out his mobile phone and looked through his circle of friends. Because Liu Xing remembered that when he heard that Zhang Junmin got married for the first time, he couldn't help but post a related update, so Liu Xing finally determined that Zhang Junmin was.
I got married when I was a sophomore in college.
So Zhang Junmin was only in his early twenties at that time, so he would definitely not be able to get a marriage certificate because of his age!
If Zhang Junmin did not apply for a marriage certificate after two years, it would be very simple for Zhang Junmin to break up with his first "wife" and then be with Li Xue again.
This thing is getting more and more interesting.
However, at this time, Liu Xing did not forget that he, like Zhang Junmin, had to go back to toast the wedding guests, so he hurried back too.
At this time, Song He, Leng Min and others had returned to the wedding venue to toast table by table. When Liu Xing came back, He Rong handed a bottle of wine to Liu Xing.
Needless to say, the process of toasting, Liu Xing just followed the bride and groom and was responsible for pouring the wine, and then said a few auspicious words to the table. However, during the process, Liu Xing did not forget to observe the guests present and wanted to
Find the players of this mod.
As a result, Liu Xing soon saw the four "suspicious persons" identified by Baihecheng and others, and also believed that they were most likely players, because the temperament of these four people seemed a bit special to Liu Xing, and from the beginning
In a sense, Liu Xing, who was a bystander, also saw clearly that when Leng Min came up to toast, these four people had been looking at Leng Min. As for Song He, who was next to Leng Min, he occasionally glanced at her.
And there seems to be two words in his eyes - compassion.
More importantly, Liu Xing, who was in close contact with these four people, deliberately took advantage of pouring wine to pay attention to their waists and other places suitable for hiding things, and found that they seemed to be carrying something with them.
But because they were wearing relatively tight clothes, Liu Xing was not sure what it was.
Of course, as long as it can be confirmed that these four people are players, it is enough for Liu Xing.
When the toasting team came to the table where Tian Qing and others were sitting, Liu Xing said that he wanted to say a few words to Tian Qing and stayed.
Seeing that the other ordinary people at this table were not paying attention to him, Liu Xing whispered to Tian Qing and others: "There seemed to be four players at the middle table on the far right. There was something obviously wrong with the way they looked at Leng Min, and
He seems to be carrying something with him, so if you have time later, go and contact these four players and see who they are."
"No problem, we already felt something was wrong with these four people before."
Before Tian Qing could speak, Baihecheng said, "What's going on with Leng Min and Song He? And Liu Xing, have you noticed the cat on the wall next to you?"
Liu Xing nodded and said seriously: "That cat seems to have been staring at Leng Min, so I suspect that the Cthulhu Run Game Hall has been assimilating the plot in the module into the real world. However, due to the reality
There are not that many mythical creatures in the world, so this cat was used instead; as for Leng Min, there is nothing new to discover, so I think nothing will happen before we finish our meal at noon."
At this time, Chen Xiu suddenly said: "By the way, actually I have always been curious about one thing, that is, the reason why we came to participate in this module is because the Cthulhu Run Game Hall did it deliberately?
If so, why do you do this in the Cthulhu Run Game Hall? Is it to allow us to collect information in advance in the real world for the modules we will participate in later? But now this wedding seems to be a module, so this
If the players in the module live completely, all the information we have collected may be invalid, so what is the point of calling us to this module? What’s more important is that we can’t participate in this module yet!”
