Entering the private room, Liu Xing saw a young man drinking coffee leisurely.
"Master, I have brought you here."
After the man in black finished speaking, he left the private room.
Liu Xing raised his eyebrows and sat down opposite the young man unceremoniously, then picked up the coffee on the table and took a sip.
So bitter.
But for the sake of his own image, Liu Xing pretended to be calm...
"It seems that my friend you like bitter coffee very much." The young man said with a smile.
Liu Xing nodded, put down the coffee and said, "Of course, the bitter coffee is refreshing, but I still don't understand. Why are you looking for me? We don't seem to know each other, right?"
Liu Xing originally thought that the person looking for him should be someone Watanabe Ryusei knew, but now that he saw this young man, Liu Xing realized that there was no such person in Watanabe Ryusei's memory.
"Haha, I forgot to introduce myself. I am Zhang Jingxu, from China." Zhang Jingxu stretched out his hand and said with a smile.
But what made Liu Xing even more concerned was that there was a strange tattoo on Zhang Jingxu's tiger's mouth - two crossed spears, shining with a strange green light.
Tag tattoo!
Liu Xing raised his eyebrows, but he didn't expect that Zhang Jingxu in front of him was also a player.
Marking tattoos is a common practice among players and is also the most convenient way to get together.
After all, in some modules, players will mix with NPCs when entering the plot. If the players do not know each other, then in order to determine who is the player and who is the NPC among the people present, some people will deliberately reveal some unique characteristics of themselves.
Tattoo to facilitate other players to join you.
Moreover, there is an advanced version of Mark Tattoo. With 10 points, you can add any color to your tattoo, and this color can only be seen by players.
But having said that, Liu Xing is now certain that Ming Hanxing and Yin En are players, and in the module explanation he is currently doing, it has been clearly stated that there are only three players, so where did the player in front of him come from?
Coming?!
"Hey, congratulations Liu Xing, you have come into contact with the biggest feature of the Cthulhu Running Game Hall, which is cross-module. After all, our Cthulhu Running Game Hall has always been advertised as the real number one, so in the same parallel world
"In the game, there are often multiple Cthulhu group games running at the same time, but most of the modules take place in very different places, so many players will never come into contact with cross-modules in their lives." kp Jianya said with a smile.
.
Liu Xing raised his eyebrows. He didn't expect that he would come into contact with players who were working on other modules. This has to be said to be a kind of fate... Of course, this is because the island country's territory is too small and multiple modules are being carried out at the same time.
, as long as players of one module can move freely, they are likely to bump into players of other modules.
Wait, the name Zhang Jingxu seems a bit familiar.
Liu Xing raised his eyebrows and finally remembered the name Zhang Jingxu. Isn't this the companion who participated in the temporary recruitment module when he was just promoted to the Shoggoth area?!
But at that time, Zhang Jingxu had to look like a primary school student because of the module. Now Zhang Jingxu has returned to his original appearance, so Liu Xing did not recognize Zhang Jingxu for a while. After all, this name is related to
The previous image simply doesn't match up.
At this time, kp fangs continued: "Okay, because it is a cross-module, you two players can open a ten-minute secret room time for free, chat and reminisce about the past, etc. After the secret room time is over, you can continue each other.
Everyone has his or her own way, okay, now the timer starts."
As soon as kp Jianya finished speaking, Zhang Jingxu said: "I went, but I didn't expect to meet players from other modules. I thought you were an important NPC in my module."
Liu Xing laughed and said mysteriously: "Classmate Zhang Jingxu, do you still know me?"
Zhang Jingxu frowned and said with some confusion: "Uh, do we know each other? Did you open a new character card? Let me think about it, the person who can call me a classmate should be someone I met in the ghoul area
Players, after all, I have graduated from school after being promoted to the Shoggoths area."
Liu Xing shook his head and said with a smile: "Then you guessed wrong. I am Liu Xing, the doctor at the Internet Addiction Treatment Center."
Zhang Jingxu was stunned for a moment, then patted his thigh and said: "Ah, it turns out it's you. It makes sense for you to call me classmate. I didn't expect that we could meet here, which shows that the two of us are quite destined.
, but having said that, Liu Xing, are you tearing up the card? I remember I saw a piece of news before, saying that there were two Chinese tourists on the Yueshi cruise ship who fell into a coma in order to prevent the cult's sacrificial ritual. One of them was
It’s called Liu Xing, and it’s obvious that this Yueshihao is an allusion to the Sewol, so at that time I was sure that the Yueshihao incident was a module, and Liu Xing, you are the player, but I really didn’t expect it to be you.
.”
Liu Xing nodded, sighed and said: "Yes, that module is a confrontational module. The two players on the fanatic side are a ghoul and a deep diver hybrid. This is called
How do you play? Fortunately, in the end we fought to the death, so I didn’t suffer too much.”
Zhang Jingxu laughed and said with great interest: "Speaking of which, Liu Xing, do you know the origin of the souvenir shop you just entered?"
Liu Xing raised his eyebrows. It seemed that Zhang Jingxu should know that the souvenir shop was opened by Mi Ge, and Zhang Jingxu's module should be against Mi Ge this time.
Of course, it is necessary to be on guard against others, so it is naturally impossible for Liu Xing to say everything to Zhang Jingxu.
Therefore, after Liu Xing considered it for a while, he smiled and said: "Of course I know that that souvenir shop should be a Mi Ge property, but I am not sure about the specific situation because I am in
In my module, I met an NPC that had been transformed by Mi Go, and this NPC is very important to my module, so I made a special trip here."
Zhang Jingxu naturally knew that Liu Xing had not told the truth to him, but Zhang Jingxu couldn't say anything, "I see. It seems that you are quite lucky Liu Xing. This souvenir shop is a trap specially used by Mi Ge to catch people.
If there are foreign tourists entering this souvenir shop alone, then Mi Ge will let his men catch these tourists. I don’t need to say more about the fate of these tourists, so I saw Liu Xing that you left safely.
When I go to the souvenir shop, I think you are an NPC, an NPC related to Mi Ge."
Liu Xing nodded and said, "That's true. If I hadn't been prepared, I might have ended up in this souvenir shop. But having said that, Zhang Jingxu, your module is a bit difficult. It actually involves...
M.G.”
Zhang Jingxu smiled, shook his head and said, "Okay, okay, my character card is a Taoist priest, and the main mission of this module is to help a local rich man in Kobe deal with a supernatural incident, and the protagonist of this supernatural incident is
An empty ghost, Mi·Go is a side mission with a very high reward. As long as you find Mi·Go's lair, you can get 1,000 points, so I will stay here."
Liu Xing nodded. He didn't expect that Zhang Jingxu's profession would be a Taoist priest, and Konggui is indeed very suitable as the protagonist of a supernatural story, because Konggui is a lower-level mythical creature that can move dimensions and is as tough as leather.
The skin is covered with hair and has huge claws. The face is flat with no obvious facial features, and there are no eyeballs in the eye sockets.
Although the air ghost with such an impressive appearance has average combat power, the air ghost has the ability to travel through dimensional space, which means that the air ghost can travel to higher or lower dimensional latitudes at will, and can consume an item by consuming MP.
An object or a creature can be taken to other dimensions, so Konggui is called an elusive hunter. After staring at a prey in another dimension, he uses various means to drive the prey into a closed space, and then appears.
Killing or taking away prey, so empty ghosts are undoubtedly ghosts in the eyes of NPCs.
Thinking of this, Liu Xing said with a smile: "The empty ghost is not easy to deal with. After all, the empty ghost has the ability to travel through dimensions. It is very difficult for you to catch it. But having said that, we are really destined. This time I met
There is also a female ghost in red in the module that arrived, and nine times out of ten, she is a real ghost."
"Oh, that's interesting. The chance of meeting a real ghost in the Cthulhu Run game is similar to the chance of meeting a ghost in reality. After all, there are too many mythical creatures in the Cthulhu Run game."
Zhang Jingxu said with a smile.
Liu Xing shrugged and said noncommittally: "By the way, Zhang Jingxu, can you tell me the skills and characteristics of Taoist priests? There may be a female Taoist priest NPC in my module. The relationship with me is currently a bit bad because of my character.
Ka’s profession is actually that of a fanatic, so you understand.”
Zhang Jingxu laughed and said, "Female Taoist priest, this is a bit rare. And are you sure she is a Taoist priest and not an Onmyoji or something? After all, Taoist priests are our Chinese characteristics and are still rare in island countries."
Liu Xing nodded and said affirmatively: "Of course I can confirm that the female Taoist priest is also from China and is currently studying in the same high school as my character. But having said that, you Taoist priests should also have a small circle.
Maybe you know her, her name is quite distinctive and very masculine, it's called Lu Tianya."
When Zhang Jingxu heard the name Lu Tianya, he said in shock: "What, you said Lu Tianya?!"
Liu Xing raised his eyebrows, nodded and said: "Yeah, Lu Tianya, do you know her? Wait, I heard that when Lu Tianya was in high school, he used to partner with a classmate named Zhang to perform various activities in the magic city.
Exorcism ritual, so is it you Zhang Jingxu?"
Zhang Jingxu was silent for a moment, and then said sadly: "Yes, that's me..."
Liu Xing couldn't help but frown, and for a moment he didn't know what to say.
"Lu Tianya was actually a player before, and she entered the game one step earlier than me." Zhang Jingxu said slowly: "At that time, I didn't know what Cthulhu was, but she often told me that she
She dreamed of some terrible and indescribable things in her dreams, and she always escaped death in her dreams. I was still laughing at her at that time, saying that she had random thoughts all day long, but now that I think about it, I am still too young."
"Later, by chance or necessity, I entered the Cthulhu Running Group game. At that time, I finally understood what the indescribable thing in her mouth was, but by that time she had already left for the United States to look for her.
Everything that comes out of your mouth is the truth'."
"Then, when I was promoted to the Shoggoths area, I met her again, but at that time she had forgotten me and became an NPC, but we became good friends again, just like before.
"
"Then, I started to investigate why she became like this. In fact, the answer is very simple. The current Lu Tianya is just her initial character card, because she tore the card because it fell off, and she did not resurrect this character card, so
This character card is automatically converted into an NPC."
After speaking, Zhang Jingxu took a sip of coffee.
"So, Zhang Jingxu, why aren't you with Lu Tianya? Why did you suddenly choose to disappear during graduation?" Liu Xing asked with some confusion.
Zhang Jingxu sighed and said with a smile: "Liu Xing, in the Cthulhu Run game, players can't help it. I was fooled by the intermission growth. At that time, the plot time came to the eve of the graduation ceremony.
, my interlude growth is called the road to the future, but the result of my investment was to practice in the mountains, so I was forced to leave her and went to Longhu Mountain to practice for a whole year, and lost her contact information, if not
I met you today, and I really don’t know her whereabouts."
Liu Xing nodded thoughtfully, and then said: "Well, when the secret room time is over, we will bring the topic to Lu Tianya, so that you will know where Lu Tianya is, and you can go there then.
I'm looking for Lu Tianya, and you can also give me a token or something, so that I can help you contact Lu Tianya, and secondly, Lu Tianya won't trouble me."
Zhang Jingxu nodded and said seriously: "Sorry to trouble you, Liu Xing, thank you very much."
At this time, kp fangs said: "The time is almost up, then I will cancel the secret room time, but I have to remind you two, don't forget your own module, it is best to keep a certain distance before the end of the module
, because now both modules involve Mi Go, it is easy for the two modules to have chemical reactions and influence each other, but the main tasks of these two modules will not change, so please handle it with caution."
The secret room time is over.
PS: I have a bit of a headache...I didn't get enough sleep today.
