Chapter 2452 The Bull Is Flying (Subscribe at the End of the Month)
Liu Xing took a deep breath and went straight to check the specific conditions of these statues, wanting to see if these statues could match his guess.
Because at this time, Liu Xing thought of a more reliable possibility, that is, these statues of ancient gods were carved by some people for fun when they were free. After all, whether it is the statues of ancient gods or the Old Ones, as long as you don't hold any opening ceremony after the carving is completed, then there is no need to worry that these statues will summon the real owner.
Of course, some more active ancient gods and Old Ones may also possess a statue related to themselves when they are idle, even if the statue is not registered with them, so a courageous player carved a thumb-sized Cthulhu sitting statue by hand in order to pretend to be powerful, which is the common style in the real world-Cthulhu sitting on a rectangular stone platform.
Originally, this player thought that if he met the Deep One in the module and became an enemy of it, he could show this small statue at a critical moment to prove that he was also a believer of Cthulhu and was on the same side as you Deep Ones, so you Deep Ones should not only let me go, but also help me if possible.
As a result, the Deep Ones did not come, but the real owner took the initiative to find him.
As the cover character of Cthulhu Mythos, Cthulhu has a high appearance rate in the Cthulhu running group game lobby. There are Cthulhu figures in almost every parallel world, but whether they can make a shining appearance is another matter. However, the interaction between Cthulhu and most players can be described in two words - dreaming.
After all, as long as you are sleeping, you may dream of Cthulhu.
So the player dreamed of Cthulhu, but the Cthulhu in the dream was still the statue, but the player in the dream also became a statue that could not move at all, and could only keep staring at Cthulhu. Although the Cthulhu statue still had dull eyes, it still made the player's scalp numb, and finally realized what it meant to be a good person.
So the player who was suppressed by Cthulhu's momentum throughout the whole process didn't know what he talked about with Cthulhu in the end, and only knew to say "yes" and "good" subconsciously. Therefore, when he woke up from the dream, he decisively threw away the statue, and moved to the other side of the earth overnight, so that he was not entangled by Cthulhu.
Therefore, after having learned from the previous experience, other players dare not carry items related to a certain Old One, especially Old Ones like Cthulhu that have been clearly appeared in various parallel worlds, so as not to be really targeted by these Old Ones. . . Of course, there will be players who want to get in touch with a certain Old One in this way, but they soon find that they are also just pretending to be good at what they do!
I thought I could chat and laugh with a certain Old One, and even if I couldn't be friends, I could be its subordinate, or at least its dog, right? At that time, I have to look at the owner when beating the dog, so wouldn't I be able to walk sideways in many modules?
As a result, after these players copied the operation of the first player, they also encountered a similar situation as this player. In short, they seemed to have talked with the Old One for a long time, but they didn't remember what they talked about. After all, under normal circumstances, meeting these Old Ones requires a san value check, and as long as there is no accident, they will at least enter a temporary crazy state, so it is normal to forget what these Old Ones are talking about.
However, the subsequent plot after this is more concerning, because many players found that they were just Ye Gonghaolong, and the Old Ones who appeared in their dreams seemed to want to harm them. After all, these players checked their character cards after waking up and found that there was a new trait on their character cards - a mysterious mark, and there was only one note about this trait, that is, as long as they leave a certain range, this trait will be automatically removed.
For the sake of insurance, most players still chose to remove this trait to prevent their character cards from being taken away by the Old Ones, but there are also players who rely on their character cards that are not very good, or want to take a chance and choose to continue waiting. As a result, their character cards were directly torn at some point in the future, and they didn't even have the opportunity to revive the module.
However, it is worth noting that other players have encountered these "players" whose cards were torn in the module, or their character cards have become NPCs, and these NPCs have indeed been recruited by the Old Ones and directly become their spokespersons.
But then again, the Old Gods are much friendlier than the Great Old Ones. If they enter a player's dream like the Great Old Ones, they will provide some help to the player, such as some important information of the current module, or guide the player to some special modules, or even give the player the possibility of becoming a messenger of God.
However, becoming an envoy of the ancient gods is not a good thing, because the ancient gods are almost no longer on Earth, and the closest ones are in the Dreamland, so their envoys are in a very awkward position on Earth. Although it is quite face-saving to say it out, and they can even take over the basic plate of their own ancient gods, after all, most of the ancient gods are still somewhat famous on Earth today, and this is the only wealth that the ancient gods can leave for their envoys.
But the current problem can be described by a classic line, that is, it's just a few hundred yuan a month, what are you playing with? !
You must know that on Earth today, although most of the old masters are in a dormant state, their followers are still very active, so if you let them know that you are an envoy of an ancient god, they will arrive at your doorstep in a few days.
So the players in the Cthulhu running group game lobby came to a conclusion, that is, under normal circumstances, never try to actively contact an ancient god or an old master, and don't carry items with related elements with you, so as not to be in a difficult situation at that time.
While thinking, Liu Xing studied the statue of Konohanakayahime in front of him and confirmed that there was nothing special about the statue, except for a name engraved on the sleeve of the statue.
Zhongshu.
Liu Xing raised his eyebrows. He didn't expect to see this name in his dream. You know, the last time he saw this name was in a module several years ago. At that time, he and others visited the Sky Tree and found the name "Zhongshu" in a dark place.
However, it can be confirmed now that this Zhongshu should be the mod author in the Cthulhu game lobby, and also a player during the internal test period. For some reason, he changed from a player to an employee, and he is also an excellent employee.
Just like many authors in the painting and sculpture industries like to secretly sign their works in a corner, some mod authors also like to leave some Easter eggs related to themselves in the mods they write. For example, some players found a bookshelf in the mod, which was filled with classic masterpieces from ancient and modern times, except for a book called "I Write Code in a Game Company". This book can be seen at a glance that the game company in the title refers to the Cthulhu Running Group Game Hall, and the code of this game company is the module.
As for the author of this book, he is also quite famous. He was once a celebrity in the Cthulhu Running Group Game Hall, because he was the first batch of players in the Cthulhu Running Group Game Hall after the public beta was launched, and he was also the first player to be promoted to the Shoggoth area, and he was also the first player to fall in the promotion module of the Hound of Tindalos area.
Of course, the reason why he is so famous is because his name is very special-Li Hua.
That's right, it's Li Hua who you have to write for him nine times out of ten when you take an English test.
As for this "Zhongshu", Liu Xing also went to the forum to investigate after leaving the module that time, and found that the author of this module also likes to leave his name in the module he is responsible for, and it is in some places that seem to be hidden, but you can still find it if you observe carefully.
More importantly, Zhongshu will also leave some special clues in his signature. For example, if there is only one powerful enemy at the level of mythical creatures in this module, then the first stroke of the word "Zhong" will obviously be longer, and if there are more powerful enemies, the same will be true.
Moreover, in the earliest period, Zhongshu even dared to use his signature to hint at some important clues in the module. For example, if there is any major reversal in the module, the "Dong" in the word "Zhong" will have an extra stroke, or it will be more hidden. Therefore, the players at that time were very keen to find the signatures that might exist in the module after entering the module, and the KP at that time would also stand on the side of the players and turn a blind eye to this matter.
But as time goes by, Zhongshu's actions will eventually be discovered by the Cthulhu Game Hall, so Zhongshu has been much more honest since then, and only dares to continue to hint at how many powerful enemies he has prepared for how many players in the module.
So when Liu Xing determined that there was nothing special about the signature "Zhongshu", he knew that there were two possibilities. The first possibility is that there were no powerful enemies in the module where these statues were originally located, or that the powerful enemies in this module have exceeded the level of mythical creatures, because the Old Ones are about to appear.
Another possibility is that this signature was left by Zhongshu recently, because according to Ao Guanhai, he and his brothers and sisters have only become active in recent years and gradually taken over certain permissions in the Cthulhu Game Hall. Therefore, even if Zhongshu is the gold medal author in the Cthulhu Game Hall, he is just an employee after all, so he is naturally inferior to Ao Guanhai and other administrators. If Ao Guanhai and others want to solve this problem of "eating inside and outside", they only need to knock Zhongshu.
I have been honest, please forgive me.
Of course, there is another less reliable possibility, that is, this signature was not written by Zhongshu himself. After all, some players who like to play pranks will leave Zhongshu's signature in certain places to mislead players who will use the same venue in the future.
However, such players are still a minority after all, and they are also despised by others, because you can hurt other players for your own benefit, so no one will say anything to you, but if you do something that does not benefit yourself and hurts others, then you will become the public enemy of all players in the Cthulhu game lobby.
But then again, Liu Xing suddenly remembered that this Zhongshu might be an old acquaintance of his, so could these ancient god statues be specially left for him by him?
No, am I not dreaming?
Could Zhongshu be able to put all these statues into his dreams?
Isn't that nonsense?
Liu Xing doesn't think Zhongshu has the ability to put all the statues in his dreams, so this should be...
Liu Xing just wanted to check if there was any problem with the other statues, and he felt that he stepped into the air, and his body fell down involuntarily. The feeling of weightlessness made Liu Xing cramp directly.
"Ouch."
Liu Xing couldn't help but scream, and then rolled directly to the ground. After all, Liu Xing was sleeping directly on the spliced chairs, so if the movement was a little bigger, he would fall directly to the ground.
Although the chair was only about half a meter high, it was enough to hurt people. Moreover, Liu Xing, who had cramps in his legs, subconsciously bent his body and wanted to take a look at his calves, so his shoulders landed first.
Not surprisingly, Liu Xing immediately felt that his shoulder might be dislocated, of course, it might also be a fracture, so Liu Xing, who was already sweating profusely from the heat, turned into a cold sweat. After all, the ten fingers are connected to the heart, and if the fingers want to connect to the heart, they have to pass through the shoulders, so this is rounded to the shoulders connected to the heart.
So at this time, the distressed Liu Xing didn't care about his cramping calves, and he got up and prepared to go to the clinic to check what was going on.
As a result, when Liu Xing covered his shoulder and limped out of the alliance hall, he saw a cow flying in the sky.
Who is bragging so much that the cow is flying in the sky?
Wait!
How did the cow fly in the sky?
Liu Xing looked at the cow flying in the sky with a shocked face. For a moment, he didn't know what was going on. After all, Liu Xing had just woken up, so his mind couldn't figure it out for a while.
However, the heartache at this time also made Liu Xing more energetic, so he understood why there was a cow flying in the sky. It was naturally impossible that someone nearby was bragging.
Atmospheric creatures!
I have to go to the hospital tomorrow to rest.
The experience of the protagonist in this chapter is the same injury experience that the author had some time ago.
