If it's going back in time, then you can determine the time point you will go to next, after all, this is a Cthulhu Run game, and you will never send your group to a point in time that has nothing to do with the side quest to take a vacation, so as long as you determine the time point when the side quest may occur, then after sorting these time points, you can prepare in advance to complete the side quest at the next point in time.

And now the time confusion is troublesome, because you don't know what point in time you will appear next, and Liu Xing feels that KP Xuefeng will be decided by rolling the dice, but in terms of KP Xuefeng's luck, Liu Xing is still a little weak in his heart, worried that the side quest on this world point will be the most dangerous and difficult side quest in this module...

At this time, Zhang Jingxu continued: "But the strange thing is that the other residents of Panlong Town will not be able to realize the appearance of time-space disorder like Hu Cang, so only Hu Cang retains his self-consciousness in the time-space disorder, and it is only consciousness, because Hu Cang's physical state will change with the change of time, so from Hu Cang's current physical condition, the time point we are in this time is not far from the last time, because Hu Cang's current appearance is not much different from before." ”

"So, just after the time-space disorder happened, Hu Cang thought that we would die because of the space-time disorder, because we are outsiders, and the outsiders who entered Panlong Town before will die directly when the space-time disorder occurs, so Hu Cang came up to collect our corpses at this time, but I didn't expect that we were still alive and well, so Hu Cang was taken aback, but now Hu Cang feels that we should be the chosen ones to prevent Panlong Town from continuing to be time-space disorder. Because we have now become the biggest variable in Beaulieu Town. ”

Liu Xing nodded, his group as players must be the biggest variable in the mod, but Liu Xing didn't think that his party could get Panlong Town out of the chaos of time and space, because the main task of this mod was only to let himself and his party leave Panlong Town, not to restore Panlong Town to normal.

Of course, these things must not be told to Hu Cang, so Liu Xing said to Zhang Jingxu: "Then Zhang Jingxu, you tell Hu Cang for me and Ishikawa Ling, we will do our best to help Hu Cang save Panlong Town, but I hope Hu Cang can be honest with us and tell us some useful information, after all, we are new to the new arrival, and we are still confused." ”

Zhang Jingxu nodded and said: "Li Dian and Wan Chongshan are asking Hu Cang some questions, and Hu Cang also said that he will know everything about us, and he will say everything, after all, the reason why Hu Cang hid some things from us before this is because Hu Cang thinks that we will definitely die, so it is useless to tell us those things, but now it's okay, Hu Cang has regarded us as a lifesaver, after all, no matter who stays in the chaos of time and space for a few years, the spirit is about to collapse." ”

Liu Xing thought about it, if he threw himself into a town with time and space confusion, and then after experiencing hundreds of time and space confusion, then there was a chance that his mind would explode and his spirit would collapse.

Therefore, Liu Xing admires Hu Cang a little now.

After a while, Zhang Jingxu and the others seemed to have finished communicating with Hu Cang, because Hu Cang left the room and went downstairs after nodding to Liu Xing and Ishikawa Ling.

Then, Zhang Jingxu informed Liu Xing and Ishikawa Ling of the results of the conversation, "First of all, I want to say a bad news, that is, although this Panlong Town is out of time and space, if we do something more out of the ordinary in the time point before the time, such as causing serious damage to a certain building, injuring or even killing a resident of Panlong Town, or reaching a certain relationship with a resident of Panlong Town, then it will continue in the following time points, thereby changing the situation of Panlong Town. Therefore, Hu Cang hopes that we can be cautious in our words and deeds, and do not change Panlong Town at will. ”

Liu Xing raised his eyebrows, this is another big trouble.

After all, if you want to complete a side quest, then it will definitely change history, so if your party has completed a side quest, but then when you carry out another side quest that happened at a time point before this completed side quest, if your party accidentally affects some important NPCs in the completed side quest, will this completed side quest be re-identified as unfinished, or even directly recognized as a failure?

If this is the case, then Liu Xing feels that the difficulty of the side quest of this module will increase a lot, after all, it is possible that the completion of one side quest will cause accidents in other side quests that have already been completed.

At this time, KP Xuefeng said: "I believe that all players have a clear understanding of the current situation, and have a new understanding of the side quests, first of all, you are right, the side quests in this module will not be completed in the first time, but in a pending state, and when the 'truth' points of all the side quests in the pending state add up to more than 100, then these side quests will become completed, and players can complete the main quest." ”

"However, before that, if the player has some important impact on the pending side quests when working on other side quests, then these pending side quests may be in a failed state, and of course, they may also be in an incomplete state, all in all, I hope that players can do the necessary planning work for the side quests to avoid unexpected situations."

Sure enough.

Liu Xing and the others looked at each other, and saw the word "helpless" on each other's faces.

Zhang Jingxu shrugged his shoulders and continued: "After saying the bad news, I'll give you another good news, Hu Cang now roughly speculated that the reason why Panlong Town has become the ghost it is now is very likely because of a fanatic believer who came to Panlong Town in December 1999, and that fanatic believer preached a certain foreign god in Panlong Town, and said that as long as you believe in that foreign god, you can live forever and be immortal." ”

Liu Xing frowned, and said: "This so-called alien god should be some old ruler, and it is precisely because this old ruler has turned Panlong Town into an independent space, so Panlong Town will become what it is now." ”

Zhang Jingxu nodded and said seriously: "That's right, according to Hu Cang's next description, I can be sure that this so-called alien god should be an old ruler, because the believer of the old ruler cut off his head in broad daylight and in full view, and then put his head back without care, so I think this believer should have been blessed by the old ruler, so he will have the ability to be immortal, after all, even if he is a ghoul or a deep diver, In the case of a severed head, it is also possible to die. ”

Liu Xing thought about it, what Zhang Jingxu said was right, after all, mythical creatures are also creatures, and they will die when they are fatally attacked, and like the "severed head is immortal" mentioned in Hu Cang's mouth, only believers who have been blessed by the old rulers can complete it.

However, it was impossible for a believer to transform Panlong Town into an independent space, so Liu Xing was sure that the old ruler had made a move.

But here's the problem, except for a few old rulers, most of the old rulers have been sealed in various locations, although some maintain a clear consciousness, but they can't leave their sealed location at will, and the old rulers who are in a sealed state are not as strong as they imagined, so it is almost impossible to cast spells across provinces, let alone cast spells across borders.

After all, in Liu Xing's memory, there are very few old rulers related to China in the setting of the Cthulhu Mythos, and Liu Xing can only think of his "boss" Hasta, the king of yellow, after all, it is rumored that Hasta, the king of yellow, is the Yellow Emperor, but the current king of yellow, Hasta, is still sealed in aliens; As for a certain elephant god who was thrown into Tibet, Shaugral Fagern, of course, he couldn't leave the place where he was sealed; In addition, only the incarnation of Nyaratotip, the Swollen Daughter, has made a move in Huaxia, but the Swollen Daughter will basically only appear in the Demon Capital.

So, who is this old ruler who is causing trouble in Panlong Town?

Liu Xing didn't have any clue for a while.

"After that performance, the fanatic believer of the old ruler can be said to be like a fish in water in Panlong Town, and is worshiped as a divine messenger by the residents of Panlong Town, after all, seeing is believing, everyone believes that as long as they believe in the old ruler, they can live forever and immortal like that fanatical believer, and who can resist such a temptation?" Zhang Jingxu continued.

Hearing this, Ishikawa Ling asked a little anxiously, "Since that fanatic believer is preaching in Panlong Town, then that fanatic believer should mention the name of the old ruler, right?" ”

Zhang Jingxu shook his head helplessly, and said: "That fanatical believer did mention the name of the old ruler, but because Hu Cang was still studying medicine in other places at the time, he only knew about it, and Hu Cang at that time thought that the fanatical believer was just a charlatan, using some kind of clever tricks, so Hu Cang didn't pay much attention to this matter, until Hu Cang returned to Panlong Town, and found that Panlong Town was in a state of time and space confusion, and Hu Cang realized the seriousness of the situation. ”

Hearing this, Liu Xing couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, this Hu Cang can't be a certain player's character card, right?

After all, according to Hu Cang's statement, all outsiders who enter Panlong Town will die in the chaos of time and space, and only his own party as a player can be safe and sound, and when Hu Cang entered Panlong Town, Panlong Town should have become an independent space, so Hu Cang, who did not die in the chaos of time and space, should also be a player at that time.

Therefore, Liu Xing estimated that "Hu Cang" should have failed the module back then, and finally his character card became an NPC.

Therefore, Liu Xing felt that Hu Cang should have some props in his hands, and it seemed that he had to find a way to "borrow" them to use.

Liu Xing's expression gradually lacked morality.

However, Liu Xing suddenly thought of a question and said: "Then again, isn't the current Panlong Town, which is out of mind in time and space, change between 1990 and 2000, so Hu Cang should have seen that fanatic, right?" ”

Zhang Jingxu shook his head and said with some doubts: "No, according to Hu Cang's statement, in these four hundred and fifty times of time and space chaos, he has not seen the fanatical believer once, only once Hu Cang came to Panlong Town after the fanatic believer left, Panlong Town at that time was like what we saw last night, the whole Panlong Town was in a mess, and there were blood stains everywhere on the ground, but Hu Cang did not find any corpse, and then Hu Cang searched in Panlong Town for three days and three nights, and still found nothing, Then it was teleported to another point in time. ”

At this moment, KP Xuefeng stood up again, and said with a smile: "Congratulations to all players for triggering the side quest that is most like the main quest in this mod - the Old Dominator, this side quest is more special, the more clues players find related to the old Dominator, then the more rewards players will get, and the final prize is a priceless item." ”

KP Xuefeng's sentence can be regarded as the final word, but I didn't expect the "old days" in the name of the module to really refer to the old day ruler.

And now, the shadow of the Old Dominator is hanging over Beaulieu Town.

"By the way, by the way, Hu Cang is actually an orphan, his parents died of illness shortly after Hu Cang was born, as for our identity in Panlong Town in the future, it is Hu Cang's foreign friend, okay, let's go back to our rooms to rest now, anyway, there is nothing to talk about now, and tomorrow we have to determine the time point we are now." Zhang Jingxu stood up and said.

Liu Xing nodded, and took Ishikawa Ling back to the room.

After chatting with Ishikawa Ling for a while, Liu Xing was ready to go to bed.

Thankfully, there was no inspiration tonight.

Sleep until dawn.

Liu Xing got up and took a sip of water, and then heard the sound of crackling firecrackers not far away.

At this time, Zhang Jingxu had already gotten up and was leaning against the window of the hall looking at something.

Liu Xing walked over and asked with a smile: "Good morning, Zhang Jingxu, what are you looking at?" ”

Zhang Jingxu turned his head and smiled, pointed in the direction where Xiao Mochen's teahouse was located, and said, "If nothing else, today should be a good day for Xiao Mochen and Hu Li to get married." ”

Liu Xing raised his eyebrows, and hurriedly leaned to the window to look over.

Sure enough, at the door of the teahouse, Liu Xing saw Xiao Mochen in a white suit at a glance, talking to others happily.
