Real Cthulhu Running Game

Chapter 374 The Price of Resurrection

Zhang Jingxu, who had seen Ishi Chuan Ling use the prophecy, said with a smile: "Ishi Chuan Ling, your prophecy is really... um, how should I put it, it's a bit unreliable, after all, you said it yourself, that prophecy is completely hidden, and the target of the prophecy is also uncontrollable, so I think Ishi Chuan Ling, you should not use that prophecy."

Liu Xing nodded, and said sympathetically, "Zhang Jingxu is right. Shi Chuanling's prophecy is not good to say the least. It's just an entertainment skill. It's okay to use it for fun, but it's basically impossible to expect any useful information from this prophecy."

Shi Chuanling looked at Liu Xing with a depressed face, shrugged and said, "Well, I also know that the effect of my prophecy is indeed a little tricky, but in the previous module, my prophecy was still effective. After all, it was predicted that Yui Matsui had made a small movie, but you didn't believe my prophecy at the time, and now I am idle anyway, so it doesn't matter if I use the prophecy once."

Seeing that Shi Chuanling was so persistent, Liu Xing said, "Okay then, Shi Chuanling, you can perform the prophecy again. I hope this time your prophecy can be as successful as in the last module, but it's getting late now, why don't you wait until tomorrow to perform the prophecy?"

Shi Chuanling thought for a while, then nodded in agreement. After all, the prophecy had a long period of time before casting the spell, and it was almost midnight now, so he couldn't make Liu Xing and others wait for him for such a long time.

Liu Xing looked at the phone and said, "Okay, now the time for the secret room is almost here, so I will say a few last words. First, we will go to Hu Cang tomorrow to confirm the current time, and then we must find a way to solve Hu Li's big trouble. After all, Hu Li at this time must already know our existence, and like Hu Li at the previous time, she will think that we are the ones Hu Cang brought to deal with her. Therefore, from what we know about Hu Cang's personality, Hu Li will definitely choose to strike first. of."

"And Hu Li's methods are very concealed, so no matter how careful we are against Hu Li, Hu Li has a very high possibility of putting us to death. Therefore, evasion is not the solution to the problem. We must take the initiative to deal with Hu Li's big trouble head-on. Of course, if we confront Hu Li head-on, the success rate is indeed very high, but we will also pay a high price. Although we can come back from the dead, we cannot complete other tasks at this point in time."

"So, I personally think that the best way for us to deal with Hu Li is to show affection and reason to Hu Li. After all, Hu Li should really like Hu Cang, so as long as we find a suitable entry point, we should be able to persuade Hu Li to give up our hostility. Of course, everyone will leave this task to me alone. After all, if we all go to see Hu Li together, Hu Li will definitely doubt our sincerity. After I escaped from the illusion, I talked to Hu Li a lot. It can be regarded as having a certain understanding.”

Regarding Liu Xing's self-recommendation, everyone naturally nodded in agreement. After all, at the previous point in time, everyone was directly wiped out by Hu Li, so everyone also knew that if Hu Li's big trouble was not solved, everyone in this module can be said to be unable to move an inch, because every step needs to be careful that Hu Li will suddenly launch an attack.

As for head-to-head confrontation, everyone knew that it was unrealistic to do so. After all, according to Hu Li, she regarded her group as an enemy from the very beginning, and every move of her group was under Hu Li's control, so before her group reached Hu Li's downstairs, Hu Li had probably already set up various traps. It would be easy for her group to destroy her group again, because her group really had no way to deal with Hu Li's methods.

Therefore, it is a more reliable method and a last resort method for Liu Xing to negotiate with Hu Li alone.

Thinking of this, Shi Chuanling said, "Then Liu Xing, you still have to be careful. After all, I think Hu Li is... uh, it should be said that she is a demon. She is a little nervous. In order to retaliate against Hu Cang, she chose to do such inhumane things to Xiao Mochen. And combined with my personal experience, I suspect that Hu Li has a certain obsession with that indescribable part, so I think Hu Li may do that to you too."

After what Shi Chuanling said, Liu Xing couldn't help feeling cold. After all, what Shi Chuanling said was very reasonable, because according to the previous speculation, the attack methods of the mythical creatures in the illusion should be the same as in reality, so it is possible that Hu Li likes to attack some indescribable parts.

Therefore, thinking of the encounter between Xiao Mochen and Shi Chuanling, Liu Xing began to regret his impulsiveness and decided to go to the meeting alone to persuade Hu Li.

Hence, Liu Xing said with some embarrassment: "Well, I think I might not be able to deal with Hu Li by myself..."

Before Liu Xing finished speaking, Zhang Jingxu patted Liu Xing on the shoulder and said first: "Liu Xing, you have to believe in yourself, you are the best."

Shi Chuanling and the others also nodded solemnly, but the smiles on their faces could hardly be restrained.

Liu Xing sighed, maybe this is the so-called asking for trouble. . .

At this moment, kp Xuefeng said: "Okay, the time for the secret room is over now, players, please be prepared to continue playing your own roles, but here I need to add something that I haven't had time to say just now. Although players can be resurrected from the dead this time, all players should be very clear that there must be a price to be paid to resurrect from the dead, and there will be various restrictions."

"So, I will now explain to the players the resurrection rules of this module. First of all, each player has three chances to be resurrected from the dead. After the player dies three times, the card will be torn off, and each time the player will be resurrected from the dead. It will be at the next point in time. At the same time, 15 points of 'truth' will be deducted from the player. Finally, a certain skill of the player is randomly selected to temporarily reduce the value of this skill by half."

Hearing what kp Xuefeng said, Liu Xing hurriedly began to check his character card, and found that there was nothing abnormal in the skill value column of his character card.

Liu Xing frowned, and immediately asked kp Xuefeng: "kp, why hasn't my skill value decreased? Could it be that we will know this when we make a judgment?"

kp Xuefeng smiled, and said: "Because players, your death is the first time to trigger a plot kill in this module, so it has not been officially counted in the number of deaths. Therefore, players will not be punished for this death. However, no matter what the reason is for the death of the players, they will be punished. I hope that all players can act cautiously."

Liu Xing nodded, it seems that this module is quite humane, but it also made Liu Xing understand why the "truth" points of this module are 650 points, because plus the "truth" point penalty when the player dies twice, 650 "truth" points are just enough.

In this way, Liu Xing feels that the "truth" points are still quite tight. If the players die twice, there will probably be one player who cannot pass the module because the "truth" points are not enough. After all, the quota and "truth" points provided by each side task are different, and it is difficult for every player to get exactly 100 "truth" points.

Now, Liu Xing finally understands the sinister intentions of this module.

Although this module is an ordinary cooperative module on the surface, this module cleverly uses the point rules, forcing players to engage in secret games during cooperation, trying to make their own "truth" points reach 100 points faster than others, especially when a side task is declared failed, or the total number of deaths of the players is too high, resulting in "truth" points that do not support players to pass the level at the same time, the secret game is likely to rise to a frontal conflict.

What's more troublesome is that Liu Xing noticed that when this unspoken rule was put on the surface, the atmosphere among the people at the scene began to become a little subtle.

After all, plan ahead and be prepared.

At this time, footsteps came from downstairs, and it seemed that Hu Cang had come up.

Sure enough, Hu Cang looked at Liu Xing and the others without surprise, and said, "Sure enough, you can come back from the dead just like me, but it seems that you can't stop Hu Li from doing it."

Liu Xing frowned, how could he understand what Hu Cang said now, is there a bug in the game lobby of Cthulhu Running Group?

Thinking of this, Liu Xing tentatively said to Hu Cang: "Hu Cang, you mean that it is inevitable for Hu Li to do something at the wedding?"

Hu Cang nodded first, then looked at Liu Xing in surprise, and said with some doubts: "Wait, how can I understand the island language you speak, Mr. Meteor?"

At this time, Zhang Jingxu also looked at Liu Xing in surprise, nodded and said, "That's right, student Meteor, you do speak the island language."

Liu Xing had a flash of inspiration and said, "It seems that Hu Li must have done something to me, because after I woke up from the illusion, Hu Li seemed to have cast some kind of magic on me, allowing me to gain the ability to communicate spiritually and ignore language barriers."

Zhang Jingxu thought for a while, and said with a smile: "In my impression, there is indeed such a spell, but because of its poor practicality and complicated usage requirements, few people know it now, but Hu Li has done a good thing, allowing you to communicate freely with us, and you can use this ability to listen to information, Meteor, after all, everyone else should think you can't understand Chinese."

Liu Xing smiled, and said: "This is a good idea. After all, in front of a foreigner who doesn't speak Chinese like me, most people probably wouldn't care so much, and might tell some useful information."

This time Liu Xing consciously didn't want to communicate with Hu Cang, and found that Hu Cang really didn't understand, while Zhang Jingxu and others gave their reactions.

This made Liu Xing heave a sigh of relief. It seems that this spiritual communication can be controlled by himself. After all, if he can't control himself, then he really has to be cautious in his words and deeds.

Back to the topic, Hu Cang continued: "Actually, there are three possibilities for the wedding ceremony of Hu Li and Xiao Mochen. The first possibility is that I did not attend their wedding ceremony, so nothing will happen; the second possibility is that I went to their wedding ceremony, and then, just like what you have experienced, after the whole wedding scene was stunned by Hu Li by some means, I was arrested and locked up alone; the third possibility is that I attended their wedding, but when I was alone, I was beaten by an unknown person, which should be Hu Li Shut up after fainting."

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, this Hu Li really liked Hu Cang, otherwise she wouldn't have treated her differently like this, killing her group, and Hu Cang was just imprisoned.

Thinking of this, Liu Xing couldn't help but said to Hu Cang: "Mr. Hu Cang, I think you should also know that Hu Li likes you very much, so I want to ask why you broke up in the first place?"

Hu Cang frowned, and said with a flustered look in his eyes: "Why do you ask this question? This question should have nothing to do with us getting rid of the chaos of time and space, so I don't think it is necessary for me to answer this question."

Liu Xing sighed, and said seriously: "That's not necessarily the case. I think Mr. Hu Cang must have known Hu Li's true identity. She is actually a fox who has cultivated into a spirit. According to the known information so far, there may be many ghosts and ghosts in Panlong Town. These ghosts and ghosts are probably related to the space-time disorder of Panlong Town. Therefore, we have to find a way to get rid of these ghosts and ghosts one by one."

"But Mr. Hu Cang, you should also know, or guess how powerful these monsters are. We ordinary people alone will definitely not be able to deal with those monsters, so we must find some suitable allies to help us. As for this suitable ally, it is naturally Hu Li. After all, learning from barbarians can control barbarians, only Hu Li can help us deal with those monsters."

This flicker by Liu Xing made Hu Cang fall into deep thought.

At this time, Zhang Jingxu also hit the rails while it was hot: "Student Meteor is right. These demons and ghosts are probably released by the fanatic who came to Panlong Town to preach, and that fanatic is closely related to the current time-space disorder in Panlong Town. So now we all think that the best way to solve the time-space disorder in Panlong Town is to get rid of these monsters one by one. So we need your support, Mr. Hu Cang. After all, Hu Li is the only one we can win over now."

Hu Cang sighed, and said with a tangled face: "Actually, you have already guessed that Hu Li and I had some differences in details, which led to the current situation. But I have to explain that Hu Li and I are not in a relationship. The reason why Hu Li likes me is because I saved Hu Li once before she transformed into a human form."

Then, Hu Cang began to tell the story between him and Hu Li, a very old-fashioned story about a fox repaying a favor.

When Hu Cang was eight years old, while playing with his friends, he came to a mountain opposite the Panlong River to play hide-and-seek. Because of the strong wind two days ago, some small trees on the mountain were blown to this side, and some were even uprooted.

So when Hu Cang was catching people as a ghost, he found Hu Li who had not yet turned into a human form. At this time, Hu Li was being crushed by a bowl-sized tree, so Hu Cang rescued Hu Li and took Hu Li back to his home for treatment. After Hu Li's leg recovered, Hu Cang released Hu Li back to the forest.

Then two years ago, after Hu Li turned into a human form, she came to Panlong Town to repay Hu Cang. At the beginning, Hu Cang didn't recognize Hu Lilai. After all, in Hu Cang's eyes at that time, how could animals be transformed into human forms?

But Hu Cang soon discovered that Hu Li was too kind to him, which was abnormal, and even though Hu Li was very smart, she acted very childish at certain times and lacked a lot of common sense.

So Hu Cang couldn't help asking why Hu Li was like this. Unexpectedly, Hu Li was also very upright, and directly told Hu Cang her real identity, and then changed back to her real body.

Seeing this situation, Hu Cang, whose world view collapsed, chose to refuse when Hu Li proposed to be together, and then left Panlong Town on the grounds of going to Rongcheng to study medicine, so Hu Cang and Hu Li had conflicts, and finally developed into the current situation.

After listening to the story of Hu Cang and Hu Li, Liu Xing complained a lot about the plot, and then felt that Hu Cang was still hiding something.

So, Liu Xing asked again: "Mr. Hu Cang, then I would like to ask you another question, that is, why did Hu Li find Xiao Mochen? After all, there are so many people in Panlong Town, why did Hu Li only find Xiao Mochen, and why didn't you tell Xiao Mochen the truth?"

Hu Cang might have been rushed by Liu Xing's question, and said a little angrily, "You ask me, I'll ask who, I'm in charge of who Hu Li wants to talk to, and if I tell Xiao Mochen the truth, then Xiao Mochen's life may be in danger!"

After finishing speaking, Hu Cang walked away in a huff.

Liu Xing didn't expect Hu Cang's reaction to be so strong, and he had nothing to say for a while.

Therefore, Liu Xing could only shrug his shoulders, and said: "Forget it, since Hu Cang doesn't want to say anything now, we can only find the answer to the question, but what we have to do now is to go back to our rooms to rest, after all, it's getting late."

Everyone nodded, said goodnight to each other, and went back to their rooms to rest.
