Liu Xing raised his eyebrows, but he didn't expect that the main quest of this mod would be carried out in stages, and it seemed that the next plot direction should be determined according to what the player did at each stage.

"The main quest this time is quite interesting, it feels like playing galgame, and the results of our actions will determine the next plot development, so I now have a bold guess that we get too much information in this mod, which may not be a good thing, after all, this phased main quest seems to give players a lot of autonomy, but in fact it is forcing players to complete the plot predetermined by the mod." Ling Ishikawa said with a smile.

Liu Xing nodded, Ishikawa Ling was right, because in the Cthulhu Run game, doing ordinary main quests is like playing an open world game, and you can move freely in a large area, as long as you can complete the final goal; And doing this kind of phased main quest is like playing a linear RPG game, you have to follow the quest flow, and each stage will have a time limit.

Just like the first phase of the main quest now, although it seems that it can be investigated for several days, Liu Xing is sure that in two or three days, Chris will issue a new requirement to force the main quest to enter the second phase.

Zhang Jingxu nodded and said: "Of course, basically the main quest of all confrontational mods will be carried out in stages, because it is necessary to ensure the confrontation between players and avoid some players from paddling everywhere and taking shortcuts." ”

Just then, the phone of the Isis rang.

The Isler glanced at his phone, frowned, and said, "It's Chris, maybe he has some new information for us." ”

After speaking, the Isman answered the phone and pressed the speakerphone, "Chris, is there anything important for you to find me at this time?" ”

Chris on the other phone said solemnly: "The situation has changed, just now my informant sent back a message, there is a tour group from the American lighthouse country on the way back to the hotel, it seems that they were coerced by two large trucks, and now they have changed their driving route and gone out of the city, so I suspect that there is something wrong with these two large trucks, and now I have brought a team of police to intercept them, Liu Xing, you should also bring your companions over for a trip, remember to wear body armor and pistols, If nothing else, there is a good chance that there will be a fight, and then we will contact the walkie-talkie. ”

With that, Chris hung up.

The Isman put down his phone, took out a walkie-talkie from his pocket, and turned it on to adjust to the corresponding channel.

"All my colleagues on the channel have paid attention to the fact that the suspect is heading towards the western suburbs with a tour group, and in order to avoid alarm, we will not set up interception points at the intersection out of the city, and all the police cars will also be replaced by hitchhikers for me to track."

Chris's voice came over the intercom.

Liu Xing sighed and said, "Let's go, I didn't expect to get to the point so soon, but I think this operation is likely to be a bamboo basket." ”

Ishikawa Ling nodded and said with a smile: "I think so too, after all, according to the basic routine of those police and gangster movies, the suspects who appeared at the beginning were either a misunderstanding or a group of imitators, anyway, it is impossible to catch the real bandits, but anyway, we still have to go and brush our sense of existence, after all, this time Chris called us over, and he also wanted to see our ability." ”

"That's right, I can actually feel that Chris doesn't have confidence in us, because nine times out of ten, the reason why he came to me was because he was sick and rushed to the hospital, after all, he said that he didn't know anyone else who could deal with mythical creatures other than me." The Isis shrugged his shoulders and said.

Hearing the Isis people say this, Liu Xing couldn't help frowning.

Because in Liu Xing's brief contact with Chris before, he knew that Chris at that time did not know the existence of mythical creatures, and in Fisherman's Village, Alice also mentioned that in addition to high-level people in some countries, the police chiefs of places like Chris are still a little worse in level, so they should not know the existence of mythical creatures through the official level, at most they know some secret churches.

Therefore, Liu Xing felt that there were only two possibilities why Chris now knew about the existence of mythical creatures.

The first is that the English authorities found that the recent disappearance of these foreign tourists may be related to mythical creatures, and because these cases are distributed all over England, they have no choice but to tell the chiefs of local police stations about the existence of mythical creatures, so Chris, who doesn't know how to deal with mythical creatures, will find the Iss.

The second possibility is that Isabella did a good thing, after all, Liu Xing knew that Isabella was not a fuel-efficient lamp, so Liu Xing suspected that Isabella was either related to the disappearance of foreign tourists, or wanted to take advantage of the disappearance of foreign tourists to do something, so for some purpose, he told Chris about the existence of mythical creatures in some way, and even Chris called Iss people to England, which was a good thing that Isabella did.

However, Liu Xing feels that no matter what kind of possibility, this is not a good thing for his group, after all, the former possibility shows that the English officials can't afford to take care of the disappearance of foreign tourists, and the latter possibility means that Isabella may be doing something behind her back.

Anyway, Alice should be in this mod as well.

Liu Xing remembered that in the Fisherman's Village, Alice said that she would return to England after leaving the Fisherman's Village, so Alice should still be in England now, and Alice's master is a leader in the study of mythical creatures in England and even in the world.

Therefore, a character like Master Alice must be known to the English official, and after the disappearance of the foreign tourist, the English official will definitely ask him to go out to help solve the case.

Therefore, it is very likely that Alice will appear in this mod, and she should be on her side.

At this time, Liu Xing and his party had already equipped themselves with body armor, loaded the pistol, and then left the room together.

Of course, Isren and Ishikawa Ling did not forget to tell Sonoda Zhuri and Lu Tianya what happened, and then went downstairs together.

In the parking lot of the hotel, the Isis people pointed to an SUV that looked to have been modified and said: "This is the travel vehicle that Chris equipped, it has undergone various modifications, and the glass and tires can be bulletproof, so now the question is, which of us is responsible for driving?" ”

The atmosphere suddenly became a little awkward.

Because Liu Xing and Ishikawa Ling are both students, they have not learned the skill of driving, and Zhang Jingxu, as a Taoist priest, does not seem to have learned driving skills.

Therefore, the Isis people patted their heads and said helplessly: "Okay, it seems that you don't know how to drive, so let me come, but my driving skills are also very average, like driving in normal travel, but if you need to drag racing in the future, I hope you are mentally prepared, it is very likely to overturn or something." ”

Zhang Jingxu nodded, and said with a somewhat embarrassed smile: "No problem, we believe that you will not overturn." ”

After getting into the car, Ishikawa Ling contacted KP Li Shunchan and said, "KP, I want to set this car as my safety point." ”

"OK, your safety point has been changed to this car." KP Li Shunchan said with a smile.

Zhang Jingxu, who was sitting in the co-pilot, took out his mobile phone and clicked on the map of Manchester, "The hotel we are in is located just west of Manchester, and according to the intercom just now, it will take ten minutes for those suspects to reach the exit of the west side of Manchester, so we should be able to catch up with the departure now, unless there is a traffic jam." ”

The Isis nodded, started the car and said, "Okay, then please fasten your seatbelts, we're leaving." ”

Ten minutes later, Liu Xing and his party had arrived at the west exit of Manchester, and through the message on the intercom, the two trucks with the bus full of foreign tourists were about to arrive here.

So the Isis slowed down, while Liu Xing and Ishikawa Ling observed the traffic behind them through the rear window.

Because it's a weekday, there aren't many vehicles out of town.

So soon, Liu Xing saw two trucks with a bus speeding past his group.

And Liu Xing also noticed that the co-pilot of a truck in front of him seemed to be holding a long gun.

Liu Xing frowned, and said: "Be careful, I saw the co-pilot of the truck in front of me holding a long gun, the specific model is unknown, but it is likely to be a rifle, so Brother Liu Xing, you drive steadily, don't be the vanguard." ”

The Isman nodded, followed the back of the truck and said, "I see, I won't risk my life." ”

At this time, Chris said through the intercom: "Now that the suspect's vehicle has driven out of the city, I have arranged a car accident ten kilometers ahead to force the suspect's vehicle to stop, Nick and Chamberlain, you two take your own team to control the west exit, don't let other vehicles leave Manchester, the rest of the squad is ready for battle, this group of guys is very likely to be bandits." ”

Zhang Jingxu thought for a while and said to the Yisi people: "Liu Xing, you better tell Chris about the discovery of the meteor classmate just now, and let them all be careful, after all, if the police fight with pistols and rifles, it will be too much of a loss." ”

Whether in a police movie or in the real world, a gangster armed with a rifle can basically press an ordinary policeman armed with a pistol to the ground and beat him.

After all, the firepower of the rifle is just too powerful.

Isren nodded, picked up the walkie-talkie, and told Chris what Liu Xing had just discovered.

Chris was silent for a moment, then said: "Then you guys have to be more careful, if we find that the enemy is using rifles, then we will avoid the edge, and wait for the follow-up reinforcements to arrive, as long as this group of guys is left." ”

Liu Xing looked around and found that there were already five SUVs following behind the big truck, and they were all moving at a steady pace.

It seems that at least in terms of numbers, his group is still in an advantage... Unless the truck is also a person in the bed.

After a while, the van in front finally stopped.

Liu Xing took the pistol and said, "Let's wait in the car first, if there is a shootout, we will go down to help, but everyone be careful, if you can't beat it, go back to the car and hide." ”

The crowd nodded, and began to pay close attention to the dynamics ahead.

At this time, Chris got out of the car next to him and walked towards the truck with a few men.

After more than ten minutes, Chris and his men walked back, and then Chris's voice came out of the walkie-talkie, "Now I have determined that the suspects in the truck are indeed kidnappers, and there are at least two armed robbers on the bus, so in the past tens of seconds, we will shoot the tires of the truck and the bus first, and then hold our ground." ”

After a moment's pause, Chris began the countdown, "Ten, nine, eight, seven... One! ”

When the countdown was over, Liu Xing heard the dense gunfire that erupted around him, as well as the sound of tires bursting.

Then, from the side of the van came the sound of a rifle.

In this way, the two sides began to stalemate, because the tires of the car were burst, the robbers could not leave the scene, and if they dared to leave the truck, a dense number of bullets would fly towards it.

As for the police, they were very calm, and they had been hiding behind the vehicle to observe the movements of the robbers, so the robbers found that there was no effect after sweeping a shuttle of bullets, and they had no intention of wasting bullets.

More than ten minutes passed like this, and Liu Xing suddenly heard the sound of the propeller from far and near.

Liu Xing poked his head out to take a look and saw three helicopters with police signs flying towards him.

Of course, at this time, more than a dozen police cars drove over, and a group of policemen armed with submachine guns stepped down from them.

The die is cast.

Liu Xing knew that those robbers were already turtles in the urn, and it was impossible for them to escape again, unless these robbers were all mythical creatures.

At this time, the negotiators also began to come forward and escape with the robbers.

Liu Xing stretched his waist and said, "It seems that we really came here to go through the motions this time, but if nothing else, these robbers are not the people we are looking for, otherwise they would not be trapped so easily." ”

Ishikawa Ling nodded and said with a smile: "That's right, I'm sure these robbers are just ordinary people, and their purpose should be to kidnap these foreign tourists, and then take all the previous foreign tourist kidnapping cases on themselves, so as to raise the ransom to get more benefits." ”

Ishikawa Ling's general analysis can be regarded as reasonable and well-founded.

After a while, Liu Xing saw that those robbers were all restrained, after all, they were now unable to fly.
