If we were to go back in time, then our group could determine the time point we would go to next. After all, this is a Cthulhu Run game, and we would never send our group to a time point that has nothing to do with side missions for vacation.
Well, so as long as you determine the time points when the side tasks may occur, and then sort these time points, you can be prepared in advance to complete the side tasks at the next time point.
But now the time is messed up, which is troublesome, because you don't know what time point you will appear next, and Liu Xing thinks that KP Xuefeng will most likely decide by throwing dice, but in terms of KP Xuefeng's luck,
Liu Xing is still a little nervous, worried that the side mission in this world point will be the most dangerous and difficult side mission in this module...
At this time, Zhang Jingxu continued: "But the strange thing is that the other residents of Panlong Town are not aware of the emergence of time and space chaos like Hu Cang, so Hu Cang is the only one who retains his self-awareness in the time and space chaos.
And it's just consciousness, because Hu Cang's physical condition will change with time, so judging from Hu Cang's current physical condition, the time point we are at this time is not far from the last time, because Hu Cang's current physical condition
The appearance is not much different from before.”
"So, just after the time and space chaos occurred, Hu Cang thought that we would die because of the time and space chaos, because we are outsiders. The outsiders who entered Panlong Town before would die directly when the time and space chaos occurred, so Hu Cang
Hu Cang came up to collect our bodies now, but he didn’t expect that we were still alive and well, so Hu Cang was shocked. But now Hu Cang thinks that we should be the chosen ones to prevent Panlong Town from continuing to have chaos in time and space.
People, because we have now become the biggest variable in Panlong Town."
Liu Xing nodded. As players, he and his team are definitely the biggest variables in the module. However, Liu Xing does not think that his team can free Panlong Town from the chaos of time and space, because the main mission of this module is
He just wanted his group to leave Panlong Town, rather than allowing Panlong Town to return to normal.
Of course, these things must not be told to Hu Cang, so Liu Xing said to Zhang Jingxu: "Well, Zhang Jingxu, tell Hu Cang for me and Ishikawa Ling, we will do our best to help Hu Cang save Panlong Town, but
I hope Hu Cang can be honest with us and tell us some useful information. After all, we are new here and we are still confused."
Zhang Jingxu nodded and said: "Li Dian and Wan Zhongshan are asking Hu Cang some questions, and Hu Cang also said that he will tell us everything he knows. After all, the reason why Hu Cang hid it from us before
Some things are because Hu Cang thinks that we will definitely die, so there is no use telling us those things. But now, Hu Cang has regarded us as life-saving straw. After all, no matter who stays in the chaos of time and space for several years
, I’m almost mentally broken.”
Liu Xing thought for a while, if he were thrown into a small town where time and space were confused, and then after experiencing time and space confusion hundreds of times, he would most likely have a mental explosion and a mental breakdown.
Therefore, Liu Xing now admires Hu Cang a little.
After a while, Zhang Jingxu and others seemed to have finished communicating with Hu Cang, because after Hu Cang nodded to Liu Xing and Ishikawa Ling, he left the room and went downstairs.
Then, Zhang Jingxu informed Liu Xing and Ishikawa Ling of the result of the conversation, "First of all, I have to tell you some bad news. Although this Panlong Town is chaotic in time and space, if we make something outrageous at an early point in time,
Things that happen, such as causing serious damage to a building, causing injury or even death to a resident of Panlong Town, or reaching a certain relationship with a resident of Panlong Town, will continue at subsequent points in time, thus
Change the situation in Panlong Town, so Hu Cang hopes that we can be cautious in our words and deeds and not change Panlong Town at will."
Liu Xing raised his eyebrows, this was another big trouble.
After all, if you want to complete a side task, you will definitely change history, so if you and your group have completed a side task, but then proceed to another side task that occurred at a time point before the completed side task.
If you and your group accidentally affect some important NPCs in the completed side mission, will the completed side mission be re-identified as unfinished, or even directly deemed a failure?
If this is really the case, then Liu Xing feels that the difficulty of the side tasks in this module will increase a lot. After all, it is possible that completing one side task will cause accidents in other completed side tasks.
At this time, kp Xuefeng said: "I believe that all players have understood the current situation clearly and have a new understanding of side tasks. First of all, you are right. The side tasks in this module will not
It is completed at the first time, but is in a pending state. When the total 'truth' points of all side tasks in the pending state exceed 100, then these side tasks will become completed and the player can complete the main task.
.”
"However, if players have some important impact on the pending side tasks while performing other side tasks before this, then these pending side tasks may be in a failed state, and of course they may also be in a failed state.
It is in an unfinished state. All in all, I hope that all players can make necessary plans for the side missions to avoid unexpected situations."
Knew it.
Liu Xing and others looked at each other and saw the word "helpless" on each other's faces.
Zhang Jingxu shrugged and continued: "After talking about the bad news, I will give you another piece of good news. Hu Cang has now roughly speculated the reason why Panlong Town has become what it is today. It is most likely because of the
A fanatic believer came to Panlong Town in December 1999. The fanatic believer preached a certain alien god in Panlong Town, and said that as long as he believed in that alien god, he could live forever and live forever."
Liu Xing frowned and said: "This so-called alien god should be a certain old ruler, and it is precisely because this old ruler turned Panlong Town into an independent space, so Panlong Town
That’s why Longzhen became what it is today.”
Zhang Jingxu nodded and said seriously: "Yes, according to Hu Cang's next description, I can be sure that this so-called alien god should be an old ruler, because the believers of this old ruler died in broad daylight.
Next, he cut off his head in full view of the public, and then put his head back on without any care, so I think this believer must have been blessed by the old ruler, so he did this.
With the ability to be immortal, after all, even a ghoul or a deep diver will die if his head is decapitated."
Liu Xing thought for a while and realized that what Zhang Jingxu said was correct. After all, mythical creatures are also living things and will die when they are fatally attacked. However, in the case of "decapitated but not dead" as mentioned by Hu Cang, the only way to survive is to be decapitated.
Only believers who have been blessed by the Great Old One can complete it.
However, it is impossible for just one believer to transform Panlong Town into an independent space, so Liu Xing can be sure that the old ruler took action.
But here comes the problem. Except for a few Old Ones, most of the Old Ones have been sealed in various places. Although some maintain a clear consciousness, they cannot leave the place where they were sealed at will.
Moreover, the strength of the sealed Old Dominators is not as strong as imagined, so it is almost impossible to cast spells across provinces, let alone across borders.
After all, in Liu Xing's memory, there are very few old rulers related to China in the setting of Cthulhu Mythos. Liu Xing can only think of his "boss" Hastur, the King in Yellow. After all, there are rumors
It is said that Hastur, the King in Yellow, is the Yellow Emperor, but the current Hastur, the King in Yellow, is still sealed in an alien planet; as for a certain elephant god Xia Uglal Fagen who was thrown into Tibet, of course there is no way
The one who left the place where he was sealed; apart from that, only the incarnation of Nyarlathotep, the Swollen Daughter, has taken action in China, but the Swollen Daughter will basically only appear in the Demon City.
Therefore, who is this old ruler who is causing trouble in Panlong Town?
Liu Xing didn't have any clue for a while.
"After that performance, the fanatical believers of the old ruler became like a fish in water in Panlong Town, and were regarded as their divine messengers by the residents of Panlong Town. After all, seeing is believing, and everyone believed that as long as they believed in the old ruler,
Those who dominate the sun can live forever like that fanatic believer, and who can resist such a temptation?" Zhang Jingxu continued.
Hearing this, Ishikawa Ling asked anxiously: "Since the fanatic believer is preaching in Panlong Town, then the fanatic believer should mention the name of the old ruler, right?"
Zhang Jingxu shook his head helplessly and said: "The fanatic believer did mention the name of the old ruler, but because Hu Cang was still studying medicine in other places at the time, he only knew about it, and at that time
Hu Cang thought that the fanatical believer was just a charlatan who used some kind of clever deception method, so Hu Cang didn't pay much attention to this matter until Hu Cang returned to Panlong Town and found that Panlong Town was in a state of time and space confusion.
Only then did Hu Cang realize the seriousness of the situation."
Hearing this, Liu Xing couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. Isn't this Hu Cang the character card of a certain player?
After all, according to Hu Cang, all outsiders who enter Panlong Town will die in the chaos of time and space, and only the player himself and his team can be safe. When Hu Cang entered Panlong Town, Panlong Town should have changed
It became an independent space, so Hu Cang, who did not die in the chaos of time and space, must have been a player at the time.
Therefore, Liu Xing estimated that "Hu Cang" must have failed the module back then, and in the end his character card became an NPC.
Therefore, Liu Xing felt that Hu Cang should have some props in his hand, and it seemed that he had to find a way to "borrow" them for use.
Liu Xing's expression gradually became wicked.
However, Liu Xing suddenly thought of a question and said: "Having said that, wouldn't Panlong Town, which is now in a state of chaos in time and space, change between 1990 and 2000? Then Hu Cang should have seen that fanatical believer, right?
"
Zhang Jingxu shook his head and said with some confusion: "No, according to Hu Cang, in these four hundred and fifty times of time and space, he never saw the fanatic believer once, and Hu Cang came there only once.
After the crazy believer left Panlong Town, Panlong Town was just like what we saw last night. The whole Panlong Town was in a mess, with blood stains everywhere on the ground, but Hu Cang did not find any corpses, and then Hu Cang
Cang searched for it in Panlong Town for three days and three nights, but still found nothing, and then he was transported to another point in time."
At this moment, kp Xuefeng stood up again and said with a smile: "Congratulations to all the players for triggering the side mission that is most like the main mission in this module - the Old Ones. This side mission is quite special. Everyone
The more clues players find related to the old ruler, the more rewards each player will receive, and the final grand prize is a priceless prop."
kp Xuefeng's words can be regarded as the final word. Unexpectedly, the "old days" in the name of the module actually refers to the rulers of the old days.
But now, the shadow of the Old Ones is hanging over Panlong Town.
"By the way, by the way, Hu Cang is actually an orphan. His parents died of illness one after another not long after Hu Cang was born. As for our identity in Panlong Town from now on, we will be Hu Cang's out-of-town friends.
Okay, let's go back to our rooms to rest now. There's nothing to talk about now anyway, and we have to determine the time we are at tomorrow." Zhang Jingxu stood up and said.
Liu Xing nodded and took Ishikawa Ling back to the room.
After chatting with Ishikawa Ling for a while, Liu Xing was ready to go to bed.
Fortunately, there was no inspiration judgment tonight.
I slept until dawn.
Liu Xing got up and took a sip of water, then heard the crackling sound of firecrackers not far away.
At this time, Zhang Jingxu had also gotten up and was leaning against the window in the hall, looking at something.
Liu Xing walked over and asked with a smile: "Good morning, Zhang Jingxu, what are you looking at?"
Zhang Jingxu turned around and smiled, pointed in the direction of Xiao Mochen's teahouse and said, "If nothing else happens, today should be a great day for Xiao Mochen and Hu Li to get married."
Liu Xing raised his eyebrows and quickly went to the window to look over.
Sure enough, at the door of the teahouse, Liu Xing saw Xiao Mochen in a white suit, beaming and talking to others.
