Liu Xing frowned and said, "Could it be that our mobile phones have problems at the same time?" Why is the time displayed on the phone at eleven o'clock, and we only stayed outside for about half an hour? ”

Zhang Jingxu shook his head and said seriously: "It shouldn't be that there is a problem with the mobile phone, Li Dian made it clear that he can be sure that he has been in the clinic for more than two hours, because of the sudden rainstorm yesterday, there were a few infusion patients in the clinic after we left, so Li Dian has always needed to pay attention to the time to change the medicine for the patients, so Li Dian dares to be so sure." ”

"This shouldn't be, we obviously only stayed at the broken bridge for about ten minutes, and then walked to the bamboo forest and stayed for a minute or two, then returned directly to the broken bridge, chatted with Xiao Mochen for a while, and came back, it took half an hour to complete the calculation." Ishikawa Ling said suspiciously.

Liu Xing touched his chin and fell into deep thought.

At present, what is certain is that if Li Dian did not lie, or if he was in the same league with Hu Cang to deceive his group, then the time of his group did disappear for two hours for no reason, and his group did not notice it at all.

Therefore, Liu Xing's biggest suspicion now is the mythical creature in the depths of the bamboo forest, after all, the only abnormal situation that his party encountered in these two and a half hours was being targeted by this mythical creature outside the bamboo forest.

First of all, Liu Xing can rule out that his group was controlled by the mythical creature with some kind of magic, so he didn't perceive the possibility of time passing, because Liu Xing didn't hear the sound of the dice falling to the ground at that time, which shows that KP Xuefeng didn't make a secret throw at that time, you must know that even if it is Mr. Ke, he needs to throw dice when he exerts influence on the player, so this mythical creature can't be more powerful than Mr. Ke.

And judging from the story in Xiao Mochen's mouth, that mythical creature should not have the ability to control time, after all, if that mythical creature really has the ability to control time, then it should not have been trapped in the depths of the bamboo forest by that Taoist priest back then, not to mention that even in the Cthulhu Run game, the mythical creatures that can control time can be said to be very few, strictly speaking, it can be said that there are almost none, because people like the Iss only travel through time, and do not really control time.

Therefore, Liu Xing ruled out the possibility that the mythical creature would affect time.

Could it be Xiao Mochen?

Liu Xing shook his head, although Xiao Mochen's overall image looks a little out of place in Panlong Town, but this does not mean that Xiao Mochen has a problem, after all, personal clothing is based on personal hobbies, and to this day, you can occasionally see killing Matt on the street...

Judging people by their appearance is not advisable, and according to one of the major theorems of the Cthulhu Run game, a person like Xiao Mochen who looks different generally cannot be the final boss, at most it can only be regarded as a more important NPC, after all, the final boss that can be seen at a glance has no need to exist.

Therefore, Liu Xing also excluded Xiao Mochen, but now Liu Xing has also strengthened his idea of going to Xiao Mochen's teahouse in the afternoon, because Liu Xing feels that Xiao Mochen should also have side quests and some important information.

Next, Liu Xing directly ruled out the possibility of the black dragon, after all, the black dragon did not appear today, and the same reason for excluding the mythical creature, Liu Xing did not think that the black dragon would have the ability to control time.

In the end, Liu Xing ruled out the possibility of Hu Cang, although Hu Cang may affect his group by drugging the food, after all, the food eaten by his group in the module is from Hu Cang, but Li Dian was not affected, and Liu Xing couldn't figure out why Hu Cang did this, because if Hu Cang really wanted to deal with his own group, then it would be good to poison and kill his group directly.

Now Liu Xing's mind is already a mess, and he really can't think of a reason to come.

At this time, Ishikawa Ling on the side spoke: "I may know why we lost two hours inexplicably. ”

Ishikawa Ling said as he gave Liu Xing a look.

Liu Xing understood what Ishikawa Ling meant, so he nodded lightly, signaling Ishikawa Ling to tell Zhang Jingxu about this morning's speculation now.

So, Ishikawa Ling first told Zhang Jingxu what he had speculated this morning, and then continued: "Although the current Panlong Town has become an independent space, if this independent space does not have a strong existence to maintain it, then there will definitely be some abnormal situations in this independent space, such as the situation we encountered, the time flow speed in a certain area suddenly accelerated. ”

"When my cheap master Serac was teaching about these spaces, he told a little story in passing, that is, in the ancient times of Hiberil, there was an evil magician, because this evil magician wanted to establish himself as king, so he borrowed the power of some old ruler to turn a city into a separate space, and then became the king of the city."

"Because the strength of the old ruler is too strong, so the people who came to destroy the evil magician were unable to enter that city, and they could only return in vain, but the evil magician was not too proud, because it took a lot of mana to maintain this independent space, so the evil magician was unable to maintain the independent space, resulting in all kinds of abnormalities in this independent space."

"For example, a sudden fire in one area of the city turns that area into scorched earth; Or the people in a building suddenly rejuvenate and become newborn children; Or a black hole will appear directly and suck everyone in the square away; All in all, the separate space collapsed in the end, and both the city and the evil magician were destroyed. ”

Liu Xing raised his eyebrows and said, "Ishikawa Ling, you mean that our luck is quite good now, and we haven't directly encountered that fatal abnormal situation. ”

Ishikawa Ling nodded and said seriously: "That's right, our luck today is indeed very good, we didn't die by the river for no reason, and I can now be sure that the place where we encountered the abnormal situation was next to the bamboo forest, because when I was looking at the top of the bamboo forest, I noticed that the position of the sun was still normal at that time, and when we returned to the broken bridge, I felt that the shadow on the ground seemed to be something wrong, but I didn't pay much attention to it at the time." ”

Liu Xing thought about it carefully, and it seemed that there was indeed such a thing.

"Then let's not go to the vicinity of the bamboo forest for the time being, lest we stay in it for more than ten minutes, and the real world will pass for a day." Liu Xing said with a frown.

Ishikawa Ling shook his head and said, "Actually, you don't need to be so jealous of that area of the Bamboo Forest, because the reason why an anomaly is called an anomaly is because it doesn't continue to appear in a certain area for a long time, otherwise it should be renamed a common sense situation." ”

Well, Liu Xing found that he was overthinking.

After roughly "solving" the problem of the inexplicable disappearance of time, Liu Xing instructed Zhang Jingxu not to tell Wan Chongshan and Li Dian about these conjectures for the time being.

Zhang Jingxu nodded, then turned around and went to chat with Li Dian and Wan Chongshan, as for Hu Cang, he had already gone to the back kitchen on the first floor to cook at this time.

Liu Xing and Ishikawa Ling could only sit on the side first, chatting with each other.

After a while, Zhang Jingxu also sat next to Liu Xing and said, "I asked Li Dian and Wan Chongshan just now, and they also felt that this Panlong Town itself was strange, so it would cause our time to suddenly speed up, and Li Dian had already initially gained Hu Cang's trust. ”

"That's a good thing, judging from Xiao Mochen's performance, we can now be sure that the people of Panlong Town should know about the existence of the black dragon, but for some ulterior reasons, they all chose to avoid it, if the relationship between Li Dian and Hu Cang can go further, then Li Dian can know the story of the black dragon from Hu Cang's mouth." Ling Ishikawa said with a smile.

Zhang Jingxu nodded and said: "Well, then again, the version of the story that Hu Cang told Li Dian is more complete than what we heard from Xiao Mochen, for example, the time when that story happened was fifty years ago, and the real body of that monster was actually a black cat; In addition, there are some discrepancies, such as one of those bear children is not actually dead, and they are all alive and well, and the black cat demon did not slaughter people in a town overnight, but the black cat demon did kill many people. ”

Black Cat Demon?!

Liu Xing raised his eyebrows, in various folklore stories in ancient and modern China and abroad, the probability of cats appearing is still very high, especially black cats, which basically appear as villains.

After all, the cat itself is a mysterious animal, coming and going without a trace, and the black cat can blend into the darkness because of its body color, and the sound of the cat walking is very light, so the black cat is easy to scare people at night, and over time the black cat has become synonymous with ominous.

And in the Cthulhu Run group game, the probability of the black cat demon appearing as a mythical creature is still quite low, after all, compared with the mythical creatures of the black cat and the ghoul and the deep diver, the strength gap is still quite large, and unless it is a modified version of the black cat demon, the ordinary form of the black cat demon is not scary at all, so it will not be possible to check the SAN value that KP likes the most.

And for players, it is still very troublesome to deal with the black cat demon, because if the black cat demon wants to appear as a mythical creature, it is a self-created mythical creature, because there is no template about the black cat demon in the rule book of the Cthulhu Run game, so the black cat demon can only be set by the author of the mod, so for players who have not read the content of the mod, they are not clear about the strength of the black cat demon at all, and they can't determine how to deal with the black cat demon.

Thinking of this, Liu Xing couldn't help but sigh, it seems that there will be a lot of original mythical creatures in this module, after all, this is just the beginning, and there are two original mythical creatures, the black dragon and the black cat demon, and it is estimated that with the development of the plot, there will be a lot of original mythical creatures.

At this time, Hu Cang had already come out with lunch, and everyone went to the table to eat.

I have to say that Hu Cang's craftsmanship is quite good.

After eating, everyone found an excuse to take a nap and returned to the third floor, gathering in Li Dian and Wan Chongshan's room to discuss the situation.

Of course, because the number of times you can use the secret room time is very limited, and KP Yukikaze has not said the approximate duration of this module until now, so the number of times you use the secret room time must be spared.

However, this time, in order not to trouble Zhang Jingxu to translate simultaneously, Liu Xing and others were divided into two small groups for discussion, and after the two small groups of people finished discussing, Zhang Jingxu passed the results to both sides for a second round of discussion.

Zhang Jingxu is naturally on the side of Liu Xing and Ishikawa Ling.

Soon, a consensus was reached.

First of all, the sudden acceleration of time should be just an example, so don't worry too much about it.

The second is the black cat demon in the depths of the bamboo forest, and now it's best not to provoke it, after all, this black cat demon has killed people, no matter how you look at it, it's not a good stubble.

Then, it was up to Li Dian to continue to have a good relationship with Hu Cang, as for Xiao Mochen, he also needed someone to follow up, and the best candidate was Wan Chongshan, because Wan Chongshan likes to play mahjong very much, so Wan Chongshan should have a common language with Xiao Mochen, the owner of the teahouse.

After all, in the Rongcheng area, or even in the entire Bashu region, the teahouse is basically equal to the mahjong hall.

Finally, it's the itinerary for the afternoon, first of all, everyone must go to Xiao Mochen's teahouse to have a look, after all, no matter what game it is, a place like a teahouse tavern with a large flow of people and a responsible composition of personnel is a good place to collect intelligence.

What's more, Liu Xing is also a little itchy now.

As a native of Rongcheng, Liu Xing has learned to play mahjong since he was a child, after all, during the New Year's holidays, weddings and funerals, relatives and friends will definitely choose to play mahjong when they get together, so Liu Xing can also be said to be familiar with it.

However, after graduating from college, because the job of a doctor is too busy, Liu Xing only plays mahjong with his cousins and cousins during the New Year all year round, so now Liu Xing is eager to try, after all, Liu Xing has never played mahjong in the Cthulhu Running Group game.

Of course, the essence of mahjong and Cthulhu games is the same, the main thing to look at is the player's luck and making choices.

PS: Writing here, I want to play mahjong again...
