What Liu Xing didn't expect was that Ichiro Matsui would give up lighting incense so easily.
After all, in Liu Xing's eyes, the incense in Matsui Ichiro's hand is the incense for ecstasy, and this incense for ecstasy is undoubtedly the magic weapon in Ichiro Matsui's hand, his greatest support, and an important prop for this so-called ceremony.
Liu Xing originally thought that when Ichiro Matsui heard that Alice might be allergic to spices, he would only choose to let Alice leave the ancestral hall alone, and then attack his group. Unexpectedly, Ichiro Matsui gave up using the incense.
What is this operation?
Liu Xing looked at Ichiro Matsui with some confusion, and couldn't help but start to think about it. Could it be that he had really thought too much before?
Before Liu Xing could figure out the reason, Matsui Ichiro, who put the incense in his hand back into the small cabinet, began to greet Liu Xing and others to get back into position, while Matsui Ichiro stood at the front, with his back to Liu
Star and others.
"Okay, friends, please get ready now. I will start the ceremony now. Here I still recommend that you close your eyes, relax your mind, and just think about your blessings to the newlyweds.
, Of course, if you want to open your eyes, there is no problem, as long as you don't look around or twist your body greatly, please hold on for these five minutes." After Ichiro Matsui finished speaking, he turned towards him
Bow three times to the tablet in front of you.
Then, Ichiro Matsui began to hold the ceremony in a language that Liu Xing could not understand, reciting sacrificial inscriptions.
However, Liu Xing could still tell that the language used by Matsui Ichiro should be a certain dialect of the island's Mandarin system, because Liu Xing could occasionally understand one or two sentences of the memorial poems spoken by Matsui Ichiro.
The reason why Liu Xing is sure that Matsui Ichiro is reciting the sacrificial inscription is because Liu Xing understands words such as "ancestors" and "blessings", so Liu Xing is sure that Matsui Ichiro is reciting the sacrificial inscription, and
It's not magic.
This makes Liu Xing even more strange. Doesn't Matsui Ichiro intend to take action today?
As time went by, Matsui Ichiro's reciting rituals became faster and faster. Even Liu Xing could no longer hear clearly what Matsui Ichiro was reciting. Moreover, Matsui Ichiro's tone was slowly improving, and Liu Xing couldn't help it.
I don’t admire how Matsui Ichiro is really strong with age, and still has such good lung capacity at such a long age.
But why do you feel a little sleepy now?
At this time, Liu Xing suddenly felt that his upper and lower eyelids had begun to fight, and the voice of Ichiro Matsui reciting the memorial in his ears began to sound a little ethereal.
Got hit.
Although Liu Xing has realized that something is wrong, Liu Xing has no power to resist now. Not to mention taking action, he can't even open his mouth to make a sound.
Liu Xing realized that this time he was killed in a plot situation. After all, according to the formal process, the will decision should be made now.
Therefore, Liu Xing could only sigh helplessly in his heart, but Liu Xing was not too worried now. After all, according to the current situation, this plot killing should not be serious or fatal.
Just when Liu Xing was thinking this, a subtle but obvious rustling sound suddenly sounded in his ears.
This sound was exactly the same as the one Liu Xing heard in the corner next door.
This surprised Liu Xing. Could it be that the unknown creature next door came over?!
However, no matter how hard Liu Xing tried, he could not determine where this strange sound came from, because this strange sound was so ethereal that it was impossible to distinguish its source.
Of course, Liu Xing was still able to deduce that this strange sound should come from underground. After all, the layout of the Fisherman Village Ancestral Hall is clear at a glance. Basically, there are no dead ends and there is no place that can be regarded as a hiding place.
, so Liu Xing felt that the unknown creature that made this strange sound should not have been staying in the Fisherman Village Ancestral Hall from the beginning.
Therefore, this unknown creature most likely stayed in the houses with cement-sealed doors and windows around the Fisherman Village ancestral hall at first, and then came to the Fisherman Village from the underground after hearing the memorial chant recited by Ichiro Matsui.
's ancestral hall.
Thinking of this, Liu Xing wanted to see what this unknown creature looked like, but then Liu Xing realized that he had been forced to close his eyes, and his vision was pitch black.
Liu Xing couldn't help but frown. The situation now is a bit bad. After all, firstly, he can't determine the identity of this unknown creature. Secondly, he doesn't know the purpose of this unknown creature. Thirdly, he is not sure whether Matsui Ichiro summoned these unknown creatures.
What do you want to do here?
But Liu Xing suddenly remembered that there was one exception among everyone present, and that was Panda Pig.
After all, the panda pig wears earplugs and should have a certain immunity to the memorial chant recited by Matsui Ichiro, so Liu Xing feels that the current panda pig should have the opportunity to see the true face of the unknown creature.
Just when Liu Xing was thinking this, he heard a short exclamation coming from behind him, and judging from the tone, it should be the sound made by Panda Pig.
Then, I heard kp Green Light gloating: "Hey, classmate Panda Pig, let you be smart and self-righteous. Get some earplugs to wear. It will feel very comfortable now. You saw things you shouldn't have seen."
Well, originally this plot kill was just a cutscene to advance the plot and prepare you mentally for the mythical creatures that may appear next. Unexpectedly, there is one who really wants to cause trouble. So, Mr. Panda Pig, please do it now.
Make a sanity test, because you saw an indescribable mythical creature."
Mythical creature?!
Liu Xing raised his eyebrows... Well, because he temporarily lost control of his body, Liu Xing didn't know whether he raised his eyebrows or not. In short, he just treated it as raised.
What Liu Xing didn't expect was that this unknown creature would turn out to be a mythical creature, and it seemed to be an incredible mythical creature. After all, KP Green Light even used the word "indescribable" to describe this mythical creature.
Already.
But fortunately, this plot kill will not cause any substantial harm to the players as Liu Xing thought... Wait, this seems like it may be serious.
According to the rule book of the Cthulhu Running Game, when the player's character encounters a certain mythical creature for the first time, he will basically make a test that may lose more than 5 san points. This is
It is said that Panda Pig may fall into a temporary state of madness after seeing this indescribable mythical creature.
No matter what kind of temporary crazy state it is, Panda Pig will make some irrational behaviors because it loses too much sanity at once, which may affect its group.
Therefore, Liu Xing can only pray that Panda Pig's sanity test can be successfully passed.
But having said that, Liu Xing felt that now he had guessed what the mythical creature Panda Pig saw was.
At this time, kp Green Light continued: "OK, let's start the san value test now. The player Panda Pig will lose 1d6 san points if it succeeds, and 1d20 san points if it fails, and gain the same value as the lost san value.
Knowledge of the Cthulhu Mythos.”
1d20?!
Liu Xing was shocked. He did not expect that the penalty for failing the sanity test would be so high. If the panda pig fails the sanity test, there is a three-quarter chance of falling into a temporary state of madness.
This situation is somewhat ominous.
Just when Liu Xing was tense and wanted to confirm the result of Panda Pig's sanity test, KP Green Light said with a smile: "For some special reasons, this time Panda Pig's sanity test will be a secret vote, hehe.
."
Then, there was a sound of dice falling to the ground.
Although Panda Pig's sanity test was a secret vote, Liu Xing knew from the fact that there was no big movement behind him that Panda Pig must have been lucky and did not fall into a temporary state of madness.
At this time, the ritual chant recited by Matsui Ichiro had come to an end, his tone became slow again, and the strange "rustling" sound gradually disappeared.
These five minutes really made Liu Xing feel like his days were like a year.
When Matsui Ichiro finished reciting the sacrificial words, he said: "Okay, this ceremony is over. Thank you all friends for your cooperation. Now you can leave the ancestral hall and return to the villa to rest."
Liu Xing noticed that Alice next to him was looking around the ancestral hall, as if looking for something. It seemed that Alice had also heard the strange sound.
But what Liu Xing is more concerned about now is how Panda Pig is doing now.
Liu Xing looked back and saw that Panda Pig was still kneeling on the futon with his eyes closed tightly. It was easy to see from Panda Pig's facial expression that Panda Pig was now in a state of nervousness and fear.
It seems that although the panda pig did not fall into a temporary state of madness, the panda pig was still frightened.
Therefore, Liu Xing gave Ishikawa Ling a look, and then Ishikawa Ling understood and stepped forward together with Liu Xing to help the panda pig.
Zhang Jingxu also stood up at the right time and went up to talk to Matsui Ichiro to attract the attention of Matsui Ichiro and Alice so that Matsui Ichiro and Alice would not notice the strange behavior of the panda pig.
Then, Liu Xing and Ishikawa Ling helped Panda Pig leave the ancestral hall, and Miyako Wutong also deliberately walked in front of Panda Pig.
As for Lu Tianya, he walked out of the ancestral hall first and started talking to Matsui Yui outside the ancestral hall.
Liu Xing, on the other hand, directly greeted Yui Matsui, and then returned to the villa with Ling Ishikawa and Panda Pig.
On the way, Panda Pig finally recovered somewhat, but Panda Pig's mental state was still a little bad, but at least he was able to act independently.
Back at the villa, Ishikawa Ling asked Liu Xing to take care of the panda pig first, while he went back to the room to get his things.
After a while, Ishikawa Ling came down with a glass of boiling water and a box of medicine.
"This is a sedative drug that should have an effect on the current symptoms of the panda pig." Ishikawa Ling explained.
When Liu Xing took the box of medicine, no prop information appeared, indicating that the box of medicine was just ordinary medicine.
In the Cthulhu Run game, those items that are not classified as props can actually play their intended role, just like this box of medicine, which can calm the mind, but cannot be restored.
san value.
However, as far as the current situation is concerned, this box of medicine can be said to be a timely help, and it came very timely.
After Panda Pig took the medicine, his condition improved a lot. However, most of the sedative drugs have hypnotic effects, so Liu Xing and Ishikawa Ling could only help Panda Pig back to the room to rest for a while. After all, Panda Pig looked at
Liu Xing already had a guess about the mythical creature that he arrived at, and Liu Xing was very confident in his guess and was sure of it, so Liu Xing was not in a hurry to get the accurate answer from the panda pig.
After sending Panda Pig back to the room, Zhang Jingxu and Lu Tianya also came back. As for Alice, Liu Xing estimated that she should have gone to talk to Matsui Ichiro.
"How are the panda pigs doing?" Zhang Jingxu asked as soon as he entered the door.
Liu Xing pointed upstairs and said with a smile: "Panda Pig's condition is pretty good. He has regained his ability to move independently, but he is still in a daze. We just gave him sedatives, and now Panda Pig is in the room.
Let’s rest inside, I believe that after he wakes up, his mental state will return to normal.”
Zhang Jingxu nodded, frowned and said, "What happened to Panda Pig? Just a few minutes later, Panda Pig seemed to be greatly frightened. Is there something wrong with the memorial inscription recited by Matsui Ichiro?"
"
Liu Xing raised his eyebrows, but he didn't expect that Zhang Jingxu didn't mention the strange sound.
From this point of view, if I had not heard this strange sound in the next house from the beginning, I would not have noticed this strange sound during the ceremony.
Therefore, Liu Xing decided to tell the matter, "Well, didn't you hear that strange sound, that rustling sound?"
Ishikawa Ling and others shook their heads in unison, indicating that they did not hear what Liu Xing said.
"Well, it seems that Panda Pig must have noticed the sound, and then saw something he shouldn't have seen. But you should also have noticed, right? The buildings in the old Fisherman Village site, except for the ancestral hall, are basically sealed with cement.
The doors and windows became secret rooms, and before I entered the ancestral hall, I heard the strange noise from the house next door. I suspected that there were some ulterior things in these houses." Liu Xing continued.
.
When Ishikawa Ling and others heard what Liu Xing said, they were all shocked, because Ishikawa Ling and others had roughly guessed the true identity of the mythical creature, and according to Liu Xing, if there were really so many of these mythical creatures,
, then you don’t need to play with your group, because your group may not be able to defeat even one mythical creature, let alone a group of mythical creatures.
The most important thing is that these mythical creatures may be following the orders of Matsui Ichiro.
