"I don't think the answers to these questions are important anymore, because it's all in the past. We have to face reality and face the Star Color that is about to come to us for trouble. If nothing goes wrong, the Star Color
Those snake people should have been dealt with. We must be prepared to confront the Star Color head-on. No, we should be prepared to be chased away by the Star Color. After all, we have no way to cause any harm to it now." Zhang Jingxu.
He said with a frown.
Liu Xing nodded and said: "Zhang Jingxu, you are right. We should discuss these issues after we leave the module. However, the biggest problem we face now is actually the handling of NPCs like Director Li. We are
Should we keep them here first, or take them out of Yingzui Mountain together?"
Ding Kun looked at Director Li and others who were still in prison, shook his head and said: "Director Li and the others are in pretty good condition, but the condition of the villagers in Tailai Village is not so good. After all, they have been killed by snakes.
I have been locked up here for several days. I can only get enough food to sustain my life from those snake people every day. In addition, most of them are old people who are not in good health. Now even if they eat some food
You may not be able to follow us out of Yingzui Mountain, so..."
"So should we treat them as cannon fodder?" Ming Hanxing suddenly said: "Although this approach is somewhat unethical, under the current circumstances, we definitely have no way to protect these people from the attack of Star Color, so
The best choice for us is to let these NPCs serve as cannon fodder to attract the attention of Star Color for us in exchange for time for us to leave Tailai Village."
Liu Xing and others couldn't help but fell into silence.
Liu Xing had to admit that what Ming Hanxing said was right. The best choice for his group now was to use Director Li and others as cannon fodder to attract Xing Zhicai's attention, so that his group would have a better chance of escaping from Tailai Village.
However, Liu Xing and his team now know that the Cthulhu Run Game Hall has invaded the real world, so Director Li and others are only NPCs in name only.
Liu Xing would be fine if he refused to save others, but if he treated others as cannon fodder and sent them to death, Liu Xing felt that he would still have some psychological pressure.
In the Cthulhu Running Group game hall, Liu Xing believed that it was impossible to sacrifice oneself for others, but the same was true for sacrificing others for oneself.
Liu Xing looked at Yin En and others and found that they also looked confused.
However, because this was the last secret room time for this module, Ding Kun sighed and said: "I think we should let nature take its course. If Director Li and others are willing to follow us, then they can go together. If they want
If you want to stay, just stay, and we will see if Xingzhicai comes to find the people on that side first."
"I agree, although there is an optimal solution to this problem, it has already touched upon our moral bottom line, because these NPCs are all played by real people." Zhang Jingxu said with a wry smile.
After reaching a consensus, Liu Xing and others tacitly addressed this issue directly.
Liu Xing glanced at Director Li and others in the prison again, and said: "After the secret room time is over, we have to prepare to leave here. After all, this semi-enclosed space is really not good for us.
..."
Before Liu Xing finished speaking, he smelled another smell of ozone.
Color of the Stars is nearby!
"Damn it, it seems that Star Color has returned. It seems that those snake people will be finished faster than we thought." Yin En cursed in a low voice.
Zhang Wenbing looked at the entrance not far away and said: "It seems that Xing Zhicai is coming in soon, so if we want to go out now, there is a high probability that we will run into Xing Zhicai head-on. However, although Xing Zhicai has not
It's an entity, but it doesn't seem to be a real spirit body, so it shouldn't be able to pass through objects without pressure, so why don't we try to block the door and delay the time for Star Color to come in?"
Liu Xing shook his head, pointed to the top of his head and said: "Brother Zhang, don't forget, the Snake Man has prepared a lot of ventilation ducts for his lair, and the effect of our blocking the door should not be very good... In other words, we
Now he is a turtle in a urn."
Yin En sighed and said helplessly: "Well, if I had known I should have used Ishikawa Rei's character card for this module. At least Ishikawa Rei's character card has several electricity-related magics. No matter what, I should have used Ishikawa Rei's character card.
We can also restrict the Color of Stars, but it's a pity that it's too late now. It seems that we can only use our own abilities to find ways to escape from here."
At this time, Director Li and Sun Meng, who had recovered some physical strength, came over, and Liu Xing and others had no choice but to end the last time in the secret room ahead of schedule.
"Did you smell the smell of ozone? This is the sign of the Star Color appearing." Director Li said nervously.
Zhang Wenbing nodded and said, "Yes, we also think this is the appearance signal of Star Color, so if nothing else happens, the Star Color will be back soon."
"Then you should go to jail with us first. Although I don't know if we can deceive the Star Color, we can all die together." Sun Meng said with a bitter smile.
Liu Xing and others all knew that given Xing Zhicai's ability, it must be able to sense the existence of his group, so it was just self-deception for him and his group to hide in the prison.
However, as long as the Star Color does not hold too much hostility towards my group, then my group should be able to have the same treatment as Director Li and others, becoming "food reserves" instead of "today's dinner".
In other words, if my group stayed in prison honestly, they might still have a chance to escape.
Thinking of this, Liu Xing and others no longer hesitated, followed Director Li and Sun Meng into the prison, and deceived themselves and others by closing the prison door.
After a while, Star Color entered the square.
I don't know if it's a psychological effect, but Liu Xing feels that Xing Zhicai's size seems to have gotten a little bigger.
At this time, there was a sound of dice hitting the ground, and Liu Xing and others' hearts suddenly rose to their throats.
Fortunately, the Star Color didn't pay attention to Liu Xing and others in the prison, but directly entered a room on the left side of the prison.
"Does Xing Zhicai also need to rest?" Liu Xing asked with some confusion.
It's a pity that no one can answer this question for Liu Xing.
After a while, Liu Xing and others began to discuss in a low voice after confirming that there was no movement from Xingzhicai.
"It seems that the Star Color doesn't care about us, so should we find an opportunity to sneak out of here?" Yin En said boldly.
Sun Meng on the side shook his head and said seriously: "Let's go? Where can you go? I think you can also feel that you can no longer leave Tailai Village, right?"
Liu Xing pretended to be surprised and nodded, and said: "Uncle Sun, how do you know this? Is this also the ability of Xing Zhicai?"
Sun Meng sighed, nodded and said: "Yes, this is indeed the ability of Star Color. It can leave a seed in our subconscious and prevent us from having the heart to leave Tailai Village, so don't think about it now.
Leave Tailai Village, unless Star Color is willing to let us leave Tailai Village."
"By the way, Uncle Sun, do you know whether Star Color can communicate with other people?" Ding Kun suddenly asked curiously.
Because human beings are just a kind of food to Xingzhicai, so under normal circumstances Xingzhicai will not communicate with humans, just like few people will communicate with the food they are about to eat.
However, it stands to reason that Xing Zhicai is also an intelligent creature, and Xing Zhicai is also very good at using mental power, so Liu Xing thinks Xing Zhicai should be able to communicate, but it depends on whether Xing Zhicai will ignore you.
Sun Meng thought for a while and said: "I think Xingzhicai should be able to communicate, because when Director Li and I were imprisoned two days ago, we saw those snake people fighting with Xingzhicai.
Xing Zhicai said something, and Xing Zhicai should be communicating with other people directly through the spirit, because I never heard Xing Zhicai’s voice, and the snake man seemed to be having a normal conversation."
"So, Uncle Sun, do you know what those snake people and Xing Zhicai talked about?" Ding Kun continued to ask.
Sun Meng shook his head and replied: "Although I do know a little bit of the language of the snake people, those snake people and Xing Zhicai were having a conversation under that statue, so I couldn't hear those snake people clearly even though the distance was too far.
They were talking about something, but I did hear a few short sentences - remember your promise, you must know how to repay kindness, the deal is over."
Liu Xing and others looked at each other, everyone was confused.
"What I heard from the snake people's words is that they should have known this Star Color a long time ago, and the two parties had reached some kind of agreement before that, so those snake people think they are indebted to the Star Color?" Liu
Xing said doubtfully: "But wasn't the Star Color still in an embryonic state at the beginning, and it was still sealed in the bottle for hundreds of years? How did it reach a deal with those snake people?"
Liu Xing thought about it carefully and found that in the settings of the Cthulhu Run game, there was no mention of whether the embryonic Star Color had sanity, but it was very "safe" for them to send their offspring from the Star Color.
"Earth, and generally thrown in some relatively remote places, the Star Color in the embryonic state should be very weak, so it stands to reason that the Star Color in the embryonic state should be unconscious.
At this time, Zhang Jingxu's imagination opened up and he asked: "Could it be that the Star Color was knocked back to the embryonic state from the mature stage by a strong person? So although the Star Color has lost its strength, it has not lost its consciousness, so it
Only then were they able to communicate with the snake people from the outside world and reach a deal, allowing those snake people to help them escape. So this also explains that those snake people killed Yang An's family at the beginning because they knew that Yang An would be gone without them.
With the family's sealing talisman, the Star Color can directly break away from the seal; of course, it is also possible that those snake people cannot enter Luo Hui's family, so they can only look for opportunities from Yang An's family?"
Liu Xing felt that what Zhang Jingxu said made some sense.
But having said that, Liu Xing suddenly remembered something, that is, his group did not see Liu Qindong's figure or body after entering the snake man's lair.
"By the way, Director Li, I have a question for you, that is, is Liu Qindong really dead?" Liu Xing asked.
Director Li nodded subconsciously at first, and then shook his head hesitantly, "The person responsible for escorting Liu Qindong called me at that time, saying that they were attacked by snake people, and that those snake people thought Liu Qindong was
The target of the attack was focused, so they all saw that Liu Qindong's body had been punched with several big holes. It seemed that Liu Qindong was dying, and I haven't seen Liu Qindong in the past two days."
"That's right, after my grandfather's birthday party that day, I never saw Liu Qindong again." Yang Xuanzhu suddenly interrupted.
Is Liu Qindong really dead?
It shouldn't be.
Liu Xing always felt that Liu Qindong should not be dead, but now there is no evidence to prove this.
"By the way, I remember that Liu Qindong's body seemed to have been snatched away by those snake men." Director Li added.
Hearing that Liu Qindong's body had been snatched away by the snake people, Liu Xing was instantly sure that Liu Qindong was most likely not dead, because according to the usual routine of the Cthulhu Running Group game lobby, players cannot see the body, or there is no corpse.
If you see dead NPCs with your own eyes, then these NPCs are 100% still alive... But even if those NPCs are really dead, they will have a hundred ways to resurrect.
So where is Liu Qindong now? What is he doing now?
Liu Xing couldn't help but fell into deep thought.
In this way, the enemy could not move and I could not move. Time quickly came to the sixth hour when Liu Xing and others entered Tailai Village.
"Dear players, you can leave Tailai Village on your own now." KP Order said.
???
Liu Xing and others all looked puzzled, because Liu Xing and others did not expect that his group could leave Tailai Village directly.
Could it be that Xing Zhicai didn't use any more mental suggestions on his group?
wrong.
Liu Xing suddenly realized a possibility, that is, Xing Zhicai knew that his group was in the prison, that is, under its nose... If it had eyelids... In short, the Xing Zhicai had determined that he
The group of people couldn't escape from its grasp, so it didn't bother to give any more psychological hints to the group of people. Anyway, it would take some time for the group of people to run out of Tailai Village, and this time was enough for Star Color to cast a spell.
.
Of course, this is also the last chance the module leaves for his group to escape.
So the question is - run or not?
After Liu Xing and others looked at each other, they confirmed each other's thoughts, which was to run away when they found an opportunity.
