When the rain during the Qingming Festival hits a mythical creature, it can not only cause damage to the mythical creature, but also reduce the movement speed of the mythical creature.
Therefore, Liu Xing chose to hand over the Qingming Festival Rain to Sonoda Zhuli. If Sonoda Zhuli was discovered by Baihe City and the others, they could also use the Qingming Festival Rain to buy some time.
After Liu Xing explained to Yuri Sonada the use and function of rain during the Qingming Festival, Yuri Sonada said curiously: "Wow, is it so magical? Liu Xing, do you have the kind of charm that can make people invisible through walls?"
Of course, it would be best if you can teach me this kind of magic step by step, so that it will be much more convenient for me to go out to collect materials in the future."
Liu Xing raised his eyebrows, knowing that Sonoda Zhuli really thought of himself as a Taoist priest from Maoshan Mountain, and he used all kinds of invisible wall-walking techniques...
When Zhuri Sonoda saw Liu Xing's expression, he knew that Liu Xing didn't know the invisible wall-walking technique, so he pretended to be disgusted and said: "Tch, it seems that Liu Xing is still not good at your studies."
Liu Xing sighed helplessly, nodded and said: "Yes, yes, I am not good at studying, and I let you down, Zhu Li."
At this moment, after drinking coffee, Shirakawa City and the young crew member stood up and left the cafe together. Juri Sonoda nodded to Liu Xing, and then followed cautiously.
After drinking coffee, Liu Xing went to the deck to look for Yin En.
Arriving on the deck, Liu Xing quickly found Yin En, who was alone.
"Haha, it seems that your situation is not good." Liu Xing said teasingly.
Yin En nodded with a wry smile and said, "Liu Xing, please don't add insult to injury. But having said that, Liu Xing, do you know what Innsmouth face is?"
Of course "Liu Xing" doesn't know what Innsmouth face is, but Liu Xing does.
To put it simply, as mentioned earlier, many deep divers live in the sea near Innsmouth. Although the deep divers look like fish heads and human bodies, they seem a bit stupid, but the general intelligence of the deep divers is
It is definitely superior to humans, and unless killed, the Deep Diver is immortal.
Because they needed some livestock as sacrifices and for other reasons, the deep divers near Innsmouth began to conduct various transactions with the humans in Innsmouth Town. Later, there was intermarriage between deep divers and humans.
Condition.
Because in the world view of the Cthulhu mythology system, there is almost no reproductive isolation between humans and mythical creatures, so hybrids of humans and deep divers appeared. Before the age of thirty-five, these hybrids looked no different from humans, but
After the age of thirty-five, the appearance of these mixed-race children may change rapidly due to factors such as contact with the same race or extreme pressure. First, the eyeballs gradually protrude and bulge to the point where the eyelids cannot be closed, and the skin gradually becomes gray-green.
It was wet and cold, and scales grew on the surface, and then the water-pulling webs grew between the five fingers, and fish gills sprouted from the wrinkled back of the neck. However, it did not take much time for the hybrid to transform from the appearance of an ordinary human to the appearance of a deep diver.
It won't be long, and after these hybrids completely transform into deep divers, they will jump into the water, go to the nearest deep diver city, and live the life of a deep diver from then on.
Because the town of Innsmouth is the place where humans and deep divers intermarry the most, and the town of Innsmouth is not completely isolated from the outside world, many outsiders have seen those who appear to be in the
The mixed-race child in the transformation stage, because this appearance is so strange, the concept of "Innsmouth face" was formed. Of course, this term can also be used to laugh at others for being ugly. After all, although mythical creatures are not
There is the attribute of APP, but according to human aesthetics, the APP of a deep diver is only about 10.
In the Cthulhu Run game, if a player tells you that a certain NPC or player has an "Innsmouth face", then he means that that NPC or player should be a deep diver.
A hybrid with humans.
However, although "Liu Xing" knew about the existence of deep divers, he didn't know much about the specific situation of deep divers, so Liu Xing could only choose to shake his head and said: "Well, I really don't know about this."
So, Yin En told Liu Xing the details of the "Innsmouth Face" and the relationship between people with the "Innsmouth Face" and the deep divers. As expected, this time the Oral Test was triggered again.
However, because the content this time was not "explosive" enough, and Liu Xing's knowledge of the Cthulhu Mythology has exceeded double digits, Liu Xing only lost 1 point of SAN value and gained 1 point of knowledge of the Cthulhu Mythology.
After Yin En introduced the "Faces of Innsmouth", he continued: "Liu Xing, you may not know something. I once went to the small town of Innsmouth on a mission and saw these people with Innsmouth faces."
The villagers with the faces of Innsmouth used living people to perform sacrifices at the seaside, attracting real deep divers to devour those living people. Then I learned from a local villager that these people with Innsmouth faces had actually not changed.
A complete deep diver.”
"I see, Yin En, are you saying that these people with Innsmouth faces have appeared on the cruise ship, and it is possible that they will hold a sacrificial ceremony on the cruise ship?" Liu Xing said pretending to be surprised.
Yin En nodded seriously and said affirmatively: "Yes, to put it bluntly, these guys are no longer human beings, but deep divers. The most important thing is that I have heard people say that these people with Innsmouth faces are basically
The Xanadus live in a seaside village and usually never leave their village. Moreover, their water skills are extremely good, so it is logically impossible for them to appear on a cruise ship, so I suspect that they have some plot on the cruise ship.
It is possible that some kind of sacrificial ceremony was held, and as for the sacrifices... it is very likely that they were the people on this cruise ship."
Liu Xing nodded in agreement, and then told Yin En about his encounter with Baihe City, "That's the thing. This Baihe City is definitely not simple. I suspect that he has transformed into a ghoul through that roll of parchment.
, so now it seems that this White River City is very likely to be the same as the man with the face of Innsmouth."
Yin En said with some confusion: "Liu Xing, do you mean that the ghoul will cooperate with the deep diver? If I remember correctly, these two mythical creatures have different beliefs. Will they really cooperate?
?”
According to the setting of the Cthulhu mythology, the Deep Ones definitely believe in Cthulhu, while the ghouls believe in Mordiggian. Both are the Old Ones, but there should be a conflict between the two parties.
There is no connection. In addition, the deep divers live by the sea and the ghouls live under the cemetery. The two sides can be said to be completely unrelated.
Therefore, Liu Xing also began to wonder how Baihe City got together with a deep diver hybrid.
"By the way, I have gotten rid of Gao Yanagi to investigate the origin of the man with the Innsmouth face, and that ugly guy is accompanied by a crew member, and the crew member seems to admire the ugly guy very much. I
I suspect that the crew member is probably a member of a church that worships deep divers." Yin En said seriously.
"Church?" Liu Xing asked curiously. After all, "Liu Xing" has not come into contact with this kind of church organization that believes in evil gods or mythical creatures. Therefore, in order to expand his knowledge reserve, "Liu Xing" must not be ashamed to ask.
.
Yin En nodded, showing an expression of reminiscing about the past, and said slowly: "Just like some people believe in God and some people believe in Satan, there are many people in this world who still believe in those mythical creatures and some indescribable things.
The evil god, I now know several churches that believe in deep divers, but the scale of these churches is not very large, they are all located in seaside cities, and the influence of the church only covers the surrounding areas."
"But when I was on a mission in the small town of Innsmouth, I saw a strange world map in a basement. There were many red dots marked on that world map. These red dots
They are all located on the coastline, and they were labeled with a strange text, so I took a photo, and after the mission was completed, I found a linguist to help me translate it, and finally I managed to translate the word "church"
, Now that I think about it carefully, that map should be the distribution map of the Church of Deep Divers, and there are red dots in several major ports of the Universe Kingdom, including the destination of the Yueshi. Therefore, there are deep believers among the crew.
It is not impossible to be a believer in the Submariner."
Liu Xing nodded, and he had actually figured out this module. Since the NPCs Gaoyanagi Akine and Sonoda Juri are Liu Xing's helpers, it is also very important that the helpers on the White River City side are the crew of the Yuesei cruise ship.
normal.
At this time, Liu Xing suddenly remembered that his mobile phone had been damaged, and only a mobile phone sim card was left, and now Juri Sonoda still had to use his mobile phone to contact him. Liu Xing could only ask Yin En for a mobile phone. After all, Yin En
But a man who carries several mobile phones with him.
After confirming that there was no problem with the mobile phone signal, Liu Xing adjusted the call volume to the maximum, and then put the phone back into his pocket with confidence.
At this time, Gao Liumingyin came over with her mobile phone and said with a smile: "Luckily, a friend of mine happened to work at the port. He helped me call up the passenger list of the Yueshi cruise ship. At first, he also
He didn't find out who the strange-looking person was because the passport photos on the boarding list didn't match, so he asked the security officer in charge of the Yueshi again, and then he found the person's information. After all, that person
His appearance was so strange that the security personnel had a very deep impression of him."
As Gao Liumingyin spoke, she handed the phone to Yin En, which contained the passport information of the deep diver hybrid.
Liu Xing, who was standing next to Yin En, naturally walked over and discovered that the person on the passport was actually an acquaintance of his - Mo Jin!
That's right, this Mo Jin is in the Dilong Village module. He stole the chicken but failed to lose the rice. He sold Liu Xing and another plus, but Mo Jin still couldn't escape death in the end. Liu Xing didn't expect to meet him here.
.
However, according to the information on the passport, Liu Xing was surprised to find that Mo Jin was actually a Chinese-American, and his birthplace was Innsmouth, Massachusetts!
Liu Xing frowned, realizing that Mo Jin might have used a new character card after tearing up the card, but Liu Xing really didn't expect that Mo Jin would now transform into a hybrid of a deep diver and a human.
Fortunately, Mo Jin did not change his name or appearance, so this did not affect "Liu Xing"'s recognition of "Mo Jin".
Ever since, Liu Xing pretended to be surprised and said: "You are not mistaken, I know this person. He once worked with me to rescue disasters in northwest China. At that time, he also said that he was a local gangster. Why did he suddenly change his identity?
, have you become a Chinese-American?”
As an experienced driver, Yin En naturally heard the underlying meaning of Liu Xing's words and said with a smile: "Could it be Liu Xing that you got the wrong person? After all, there are quite a few people with the same name in this world."
Yin En said as he handed the phone to Liu Xing.
Liu Xing pretended to look at his phone, and then said with certainty: "I can confirm that I did not identify the wrong person. He is the Mo Jin I know."
Yin En nodded, returned the phone to Gao Liumingyin, and then said: "Mingyin, if possible, can you find your friend again and check the entry and exit records of this Mo Jin."
Gao Liumingyin nodded, but asked curiously: "Yes, yes, Yin En, but why are you paying so much attention to this person? Doesn't he just look a little weird?"
Yin En sighed and said to Takayanagi Mingyin: "Mingyin, you should still remember the tall monster with fish scales all over its body among the monsters created by Honda Hongichi."
Gao Liumingyin nodded, suddenly his eyes widened, and he said with surprise: "Do you mean to say that this Mo Jin is the prototype of that kind of monster?"
Yin En nodded and told Gaoyanagi Mingyin about the "Faces of Innsmouth" and the possibility that Mo Jin might join forces with White River City to prepare to hold a ceremony to worship the evil god on the Yueshi cruise ship.
After listening to Yin En's story, Gao Liumingyin nodded solemnly, then took her mobile phone to a quiet place to make a call.
"The situation is not good." Yin En lit a cigarette and said melancholy.
Liu Xing nodded. Unexpectedly, the players in the enemy camp this time were all old acquaintances, and they were also considered the two most "evil" people among the players Liu Xing met. After all, Mo Jin betrayed his teammates, and Baihe City was a madman.
believer.
However, this is not a benefit. At least I know something about them, can quickly recognize their identities, and can define them as villains. No wonder KP Li Shunchan said that he can easily identify enemies.
