Chapter 2395 The Backstabbed Brother
As Liu Xing's fountain pen, the average life span may be only one semester. Of course, there will be some minor problems during this period, such as changing the nib several times. Therefore, after coming to Chengdu, Liu Xing has been using gel pens, and fountain pens have been put aside.
So this is just a room similar to his bedroom?
"Beep, beep~"
At this moment, Liu Xing suddenly heard the sound of a car horn, and it sounded like it should be a large truck, and then there was the unique "buzzing" sound when the large truck was ignited and waiting.
In this way, this should be a room facing the street, and since there is a large truck parked outside, it means that there are shops here that need large trucks to unload or load things. Of course, this bedroom may also be near a bus station or logistics center.
Then, Liu Xing heard the "dingli bang" metal collision sound again. It seems that the truck is loading a kind of metal cargo, and the cargo seems to have no packaging, so it will make this kind of metal collision sound, and more importantly, this sound is more than one each time.
Is this loading and unloading steel bars?
Liu Xing immediately remembered that when he was in his hometown, there were several shops doing steel bar business opposite his building. After all, it was still a few years ago, and houses were still being built everywhere in his hometown, so this steel bar business must be a sure win. In addition, there was a local bus station next to it, so many trucks would park at the bus station at that time.
So, when Liu Xing was a child, he often heard this kind of "dingli bang" sound, because the loading at that time was quite simple and rough, that is, just pile bundles of steel bars on the truck, so... This can't be his childhood room, after all, in addition to the pen, there is also a piece of crystal in this room, which is almost exactly the same as his childhood room!
Thinking of this, Liu Xing couldn't help but open his eyes. The feeling of immersion from formalin made Liu Xing subconsciously want to close his eyes, but Liu Xing still held on at this time. However, at this time, Liu Xing felt as if he had cataracts, and his eyes were blurred. He could only vaguely see a figure, and the reason why Liu Xing thought it was a figure was because this figure would move.
This is more fancy than the mosaics in some movies and TV shows.
As for the static "squares" around the figure, although Liu Xing couldn't see what these "squares" looked like, he could tell whether they were desks or beds based on their size. However, what Liu Xing cared about most was that there was a small orange "square" under the feet of the figure, so if it wasn't an orange, then it should be something that had fallen to the ground before and seemed to have smashed the floor tiles.
Orange crystal?
"Where is it?"
At this moment, Liu Xing heard a classic electronic synthesized sound. It seemed that after he opened his eyes, his ears were much better and he could finally hear human voices.
It seemed that this person was not a thief, because thieves would not come specifically to find something. Their goal must be to get enough property in the shortest time. Of course, because a person can only take a limited amount of things, then they will pick up watermelons and throw away sesame seeds. This is a professional thief.
Unless the thief had already chosen the target at the beginning and knew what he wanted, or he could get enough benefits as long as he found this thing.
However, Liu Xing felt that if this was really his bedroom in his hometown, and it was the bedroom more than ten years ago, then there would be nothing valuable in this room. After all, the situation of his family at that time could only be said to be neither good nor bad, because his parents had just gone to Rongcheng to open a clinic, and they borrowed a lot of money from relatives for this, so he couldn't live with them when he was a child.
There was no way. Liu Xing knew that although he was still very young at that time and didn't seem to need to spend much money, his family really couldn't pay more money for his tuition, and the rent of a one-bedroom and a living room and a two-bedroom and a living room was not the same concept.
So when he was a child, Liu Xing could only go to Rongcheng to see his parents during holidays. Of course, sometimes his parents came back to see Liu Xing, and then they would prepare some gifts for Liu Xing, such as toys.
Wait!
Speaking of the gifts his parents brought back, the one that Liu Xing remembers most vividly is a Subor game console with a keyboard, and this game console also comes with a cassette without a cover. At that time, Liu Xing also played a similar Subor game console at a friend's house, so he knew that this kind of game console usually comes with a so-called "learning cassette", which means that it has several puzzle games related to learning, such as the classic balloon-shooting game, which is to press the corresponding letter to shoot down the corresponding balloon.
So Liu Xing didn't play this cassette at that time, because at that time Liu Xing had won a lot of cassettes from his friends through Yu-Gi-Oh, and also exchanged a lot of cassettes with marbles, so there were serious games to play, so who would play this kind of puzzle game?
Until one day, Liu Xing accidentally inserted the wrong cassette. As for why Liu Xing made this mistake, it was mainly to better store these cassettes, so he removed the shells of these cassettes and numbered them with an ink pen, but Liu Xing had a good sleep that day, so he was still confused when he got up to play the game.
But none of this matters. What matters is that if Liu Xing remembers correctly, the interface of the cassette is in English after it is opened. Of course, many cassette games at that time had this interface in English. So although Liu Xing did not understand English at that time, he could roughly guess what it meant after playing it for a long time. Therefore, Liu Xing successfully entered the game, and then Liu Xing found that this game was actually a legendary text game, and there would occasionally be an unclear picture in the middle.
So Liu Xing did not think too much at that time, and decisively changed the cassette. After all, he could not understand anything, and the pictures were not easy to understand. More importantly, this game did not seem to be operable to Liu Xing at that time. He just had to keep pressing the handle.
From then on, this cassette was always put in the cold palace by Liu Xing. Later, in order to avoid inserting the wrong cassette in the future, he put this cassette somewhere else, that is, in his bedroom.
So this person came to find the cassette?
The main reason why Liu Xing thought this person was looking for the cartridge was that Liu Xing still remembered the first screen after the cartridge was started, which was two huge "C". Of course, there were some small letters next to the two "C", but Liu Xing had long forgotten what these letters were, and only knew that this should be the title of the game.
But at this time, Liu Xing had reason to suspect that the title was actually Call of Cthulhu, which translated into Chinese is the Call of Cthulhu!
The reason why Liu Xing was so sure was that, on the one hand, the Call of Cthulhu was generally abbreviated as "CoC", because the "o" in the middle was lowercase, so it was normal for Liu Xing to ignore it at the time!
Secondly, Liu Xing has now come to the Cthulhu running group game lobby, so he will subconsciously think of some similar things as Cthulhu elements, even if it does not mean this.
So this is a text game related to Cthulhu mythology?
Liu Xing remembers that in the era of the red and white machine, there were also many text games. Some of them were similar to the current Cthulhu running group games. They would make corresponding judgments based on the player's choice. For example, there was a text game of Captain Tsubasa, which asked you to choose who would carry the ball. When you were defended by the opponent, you could choose whether to dribble past the opponent or pass the ball. Of course, you could also choose to shoot. The success rate of these actions was related to the ability of the player you chose and the ability of the opponent defending you. . . . That's right, isn't this the battle wheel of the Cthulhu running group game?
So in the real world, many players think that the Cthulhu running group game can be made into such a text game, but in Liu Xing's memory, there are really not many text games related to Cthulhu mythology. Maybe the Cthulhu mythology and Cthulhu running group games were not popular enough, or that the players at that time were more willing to play tabletop games in the real world?
After all, the Cthulhu running group game is also a social-oriented game in a sense. It is really fun only when everyone plays together, especially when the dice goddess stands up to make a show effect, it is the most interesting for everyone to complain together.
So in the real world, the highest configuration required by the game is still friends!
Of course, in the Cthulhu running group game lobby, "friends" are also your most useful props.
Could this person be his friend?
Liu Xing looked at the figure who was still busy looking for things, and compared him with the "block" next to him, which should be a desk, and concluded that his height should be about 1.3 meters, because unless it is specially customized, the common desk is only 80 centimeters high, and the chest of this figure is parallel to the desk, so his height should be about 1.3 meters.
Liu Qindong?
I don't know why, at this time Liu Xing thought of the three words "Liu Qindong" in his mind, because Liu Xing has now determined that Liu Qindong may have been in contact with the Cthulhu running group game lobby, and he seems to know that he will have contact with the Cthulhu running group game lobby later, so he seems to be a matchmaker, wanting to let himself contact the Cthulhu running group game lobby faster?
Unfortunately, I went to Chengdu to study after a few years, and Liu Qindong chose to stay in his hometown at that time, so the two of them would contact each other occasionally, that is, they would get together when they returned to their hometown during the Spring Festival and surf the Internet together.
Liu Xing thought about it carefully and remembered that he had indeed talked about this cartridge with Liu Qindong, because among his friends at that time, Liu Qindong should be the first one to own a game console, and he also had a lot of game cartridges, so he got a lot of game cartridges from Liu Qindong, and also complained to him about the strange cartridge. After all, Liu Xing had never played any text games at that time, so it was inevitable that he would complain about such games with his friends.
Liu Xing also still remembers that during the Chinese New Year, he would go to the Internet cafe with friends such as Liu Qindong to play games all day. The Internet cafe that everyone often went to was only a few dozen meters away from his home, so sometimes he would take his friends home to eat instant noodles or something. After all, the Internet cafes at that time were quite simple, so let alone instant noodles, even drinks could not be bought. During the Chinese New Year, few restaurants would be open, so it was quite troublesome to eat out.
So, sometimes when everyone is having fun, they will try to choose a unlucky person to go back and cook instant noodles first, while others will play for a while before going back. Anyway, Liu Qindong and others often go to Liu Xing's house to play, and it is not the first or second time that they stay for dinner, so Liu Xing will also be relieved to hand over the key to his friends. Of course, as the host, Liu Xing only needs to eat and drink well, and he doesn't have to worry about cooking noodles and washing dishes.
Thinking of this, Liu Xing began to look forward to it, because it should have been several minutes since he heard the strange sound, so if his guess is correct, then there will be a knock on the door soon, right?
At this time, Liu Xing noticed that the figure seemed to be aware of something, so he began to restore the scene, such as picking up the orange crystal that fell on the ground, and even if the picture was a little blurry, Liu Xing could see that the figure was tidying up the things on the desk.
Then, the knock on the door that Liu Xing expected really sounded, and the figure ran to open the door directly, as if he had been prepared for it.
Is it really you?
Liu Qindong!
Liu Xing frowned, and just when he was about to complain, he heard several different electronic synthesized sounds after the door opened. Although the timbre of these electronic synthesized sounds was similar, the pitch of one of them was obviously much higher.
Girl?
Liu Xing remembered that none of his friends when he was a child had a shrill voice, so this person should be a girl, but at that time, he and his friends went to the Internet cafe to open a package day, and there was no way that there was a girl next to them. Anyway, Liu Xing didn't have such a situation in his memory.
Could it be the girl who was suspected to be related to the Cthulhu running group game hall?
Liu Xing thought about it and immediately understood why the figure suddenly froze for a moment, and then began to clean up the scene. Perhaps it was this mysterious girl who reminded him in some way.
At this moment, Liu Xing's eyes were still blurry, but the orange "block" suddenly became clear.
Yes, this is the orange crystal!
The moment he saw this orange crystal, Liu Xing once again reached out to grab the orange crystal involuntarily!
