"I believe you can all guess what happened, the University of Miskatonic organized a number of investigation teams to conduct a detailed investigation of Professor Frank's laboratory, and the result was still nothing, but the interesting thing is that Professor Frank and his students each left a thing in the laboratory, for example, the notebook in my hand was left by Eric in the laboratory, and Professor Frank left a pen made of pure gold, which was given to him by his late wife many years ago, So the pen has now been returned to Professor Frank's eldest daughter by Miskatonik University, and the other things left behind by the other students are basically treasured things that they carry with them, such as gifts from their significant other, or small jewelry from their first raffle. Shimazu Nakano said seriously.

Hearing this, Liu Xing knew that this was a very classic Cthulhu story - a occult professor obtained a very mysterious thing through some means, so he gathered his students to conduct research, and in the process of research, he either summoned some powerful mythical creature, or opened a door to the unknown, in short, these people were either voluntary or forced to go to another world.

However, what made Liu Xing find interesting was that these people all left their "important items" before disappearing.

In the Cthulhu Run game, the player's character card has an optional item that is an important item, and this "important item" is a double-edged sword, which can turn the tide if used well, and may become a life-saving charm if used poorly; However, in the Cthulhu Run game lobby, the player's character cards are randomly generated by the system, so these character cards are blank at the beginning of the optional items such as "important items" and "important people", and only as players continue to participate in mods to increase their experience, these optional items will be improved one by one.

Of course, if you want to turn one of your items into an "important item" so that you can easily carry it with you, then you need to use it in every mod, and it is best to use it at a very important moment, so that it will become your "important item", so that even if your item is a prohibited item in some mods, you can still have a way to bring it into the mod.

Therefore, there are many posts in the forum jokingly saying that these players are too utilitarian, and the "important items" are all kinds of props, unlike NPCs who only regard some commemorative things for themselves as important items.

As a result, Liu Xing now has a guess - Eric is most likely a player, and Professor Frank and the other students are NPCs.

Although Eric uses this notebook to record a lot of things, this notebook is not a diary to record his daily life, so if Eric is an NPC, then this notebook cannot be his "important item".

If that's the case, then this Cthulhu story is actually an end mod, but this mod is also very special in that it allows players and NPCs to leave their most important things in this world at the last minute, and Eric must have kept this notebook for some purpose.

Thinking of this, as soon as Liu Xing wanted to say something, he noticed that there was something wrong with Yin En's and Ding Kun's expressions.

Sure enough, this notebook is a bit unusual.

It's a pity that I haven't reinstated my identity as a player yet, so I can't know what's so special about this notebook at the first time.

However, Liu Xing was not idle, and took this opportunity to give Sawada Yayin a look.

Sawada Miyin comprehended, and said with a smile: "No wonder Mr. Nakano, you will arrange for your nephew to take such a big risk to get this notebook, it turns out that this notebook is so big, you must know that the occult major of Miskatonik University can be said to be the first in the world, even if all of us present together may not know as much as this Eric, so the content recorded in his notebook should be very valuable." ”

"That's right, a lot of the things in this notebook have been eye-opening, and I know that I've been looking at this notebook since I entered this ward."

Sawada Nakano said as he handed the notebook in his hand to Sawada Yayin, "If you are willing to help me, Miss Sawada, then this notebook will be a deposit given to you by our Shimazu family, and no matter whether things go well or not, our Shimazu family will give you some good things again, such as the ten cards recorded in this notebook at the end." ”

Ten cards?

Element awareness!

Liu Xing involuntarily put his eyes on the notebook, and then glanced at Yin En and Ding Kun, while Yin En and Ding Kun nodded slightly.

Seeing this situation, Liu Xing probably knew what the function of this notebook was.

This should be the passport to Miskatonik University!

Or rather, it's a necessary item to start the promotion mod!

It seems that this notebook must be in hand.

Although he was already a little excited in his heart, Liu Xing was still a water drinking machine with an expressionless face, because the protagonists of today's transaction were Shimazu Nakano and Sawada Yain.

So, everything depends on Sawada's performance.

After taking the diary, Sawada opened the notebook casually, and the expression on his face suddenly became serious.

This made Liu Xing and the three of them a little surprised, because although Sawada Yayin is not very old, but as a genius girl and a humanoid mythical creature, Sawada Yayin can be regarded as well-informed, especially after knowing Taketori, Sawada Yayin has not heard some "ancient secrets" from Taketori.

Therefore, to be able to make Sawada Yayin change into a serious expression, it seems that the content recorded in this notebook is more high-end and atmospheric than Liu Xing and the three imagined.

Could it be that some old ruler is involved?

Liu Xing couldn't help but glance at the notebook in Sawada's hand, and found that the page that Sawada Yayin opened casually had a stick figure map, which also marked some important facilities, such as the palace or something.

Wait a minute.

Liu Xing frowned, and found that this map, which looked a little sloppy, seemed to be a little familiar, to be exact, the outline of this area on the map seemed familiar.

Ziwu City!

Liu Xing thought about it carefully, and found that this map is almost exactly the same as Ziwu City in terms of outline, and some important facilities marked on this map can also be matched with some areas of Ziwu City, such as the imperial palace corresponds to the archaeological area on the outskirts of Ziwu City, and the temple corresponds to the Shindo shrine in Ziwu City.

But when it comes to Kanna Shrine, Liu Xing can't help but think of Kanna Ryoko, and I don't know if Kanna Ryoko can go out of the mountain to help his group now... Nine times out of ten, this is impossible, because the Cthulhu Run Group game hall will not let Kanna Ryoko go out of the mountain to break the balance, after all, Kanna Ryoko is already a demigod-level human NPC in Liu Xing's opinion, and his strength should be on the same level as Dagon, which is higher than a certain unnamed bastard-type ancient god.

Thinking of this, Liu Xing suddenly realized one thing, that is, this place in Ziwu City is really Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, and the NPCs in it are more bug than another, such as Sawada Yayin and Otomu Takuya, and Mikage Yi, who has already received the bento, are all humanoid mythical creatures, and some other NPCs who are just playing tricks are not far behind, as for Sawada Yuhiko, it is a bug-level existence with a knife damage of 999, and Ryoko Kanna and King Tindarus who exists in other time and space are BOSS-level characters who are infinitely close to the old rulers.

So with so many powerful NPCs joining the mod, how can it be just an ordinary mod in the ghoul area?

It's like a movie with many actors, actresses, and actresses, but in the end it was only released on one video site, isn't it a joke?

It seems that there is also a mod hidden in Ziwu City that has not been triggered, a mod that can only be triggered by players in the Cthulhu region.

And the trigger condition for this mod may be this notebook, because as long as nothing else, that stick figure map is the kingdom of Tyndaros.

But the problem comes again, the Kingdom of Tyndalus is just the work of King Tindarus, so it is a kingdom, in fact, the area is a little larger, and the population may not exceed 100,000, so the Kingdom of Tyndalus is only recorded in the local county records of Ziwu City, and even most of the ordinary citizens of Ziwu City may only know the name of Tyndaros Kingdom.

So why did this Eric draw a map of the kingdom of Tyndallus in his notebook? Where did he hear about the Kingdom of Tyndalus, and how did he know how to draw a map of the Kingdom of Tyndalus?

Liu Xing didn't think Eric was scribbling casually.

"Miss Sawada, it seems that your luck is really good, and you actually flipped through the records about the Kingdom of Tyndaros; I'll tell you the truth here, I started to investigate the situation of your Sawada family after I learned that your Sawada family joined the samurai faction, and then I learned about the legend of this Tyndaros kingdom, and by the way, I also heard the story about the ancestor of your Sawada family, Sawada Tomohiko, so I decided to use this notebook as a deposit when I saw this page, because I knew that Miss Sawada-sama, after you saw this page, you would not refuse to cooperate with our Shimazu family. Shimazu Nakano said confidently.

Sawada Yayin sighed, closed the notebook and said, "That's right, I really can't give up this notebook now, because this notebook is very important to our Sawada family, so Mr. Nakano, if you can promise not to publish the content of this notebook about the Tyndaros Kingdom, then our Sawada family is willing to cooperate with your Shimazu family's actions." ”

Hearing Sawada Yayin say this, Liu Xing and the three of them were all surprised, they didn't expect Sawada Yayin to value this notebook so much.

"Of course, I know very well how important the content of this notebook about the Kingdom of Tyndalus is to your Sawada family, so I can promise you, Miss Sawada, that I will not reveal anything in this notebook to anyone else, but I must make it clear here first, I can only guarantee that in today's samurai faction, I am the only one who sees this notebook, but after the public faction controls my unlucky nephew, I can't guarantee how many people have seen this notebook, because this notebook is just an ordinary notebook after all, unlike those magic books that can be marked with spells to check if it has been read by others. Shimazu Nakano said with a serious face.

Sawada Yayin nodded and said, "I understand, but I also want to know Mr. Nakano, why did you buy this notebook?" From what I know about Miskatonik University, they should have returned these things to the families of the missing people as soon as possible. ”

"That's right, after confirming that there was no problem with this notebook, Miskatonik University returned this notebook to Eric's brother as soon as possible, because Eric's brother is also studying at Miskatonik University, but he majored in computer science, so Eric's brother has a very general relationship with his god-like younger brother, and even a little repulsive, because Eric often brings some things home that makes him feel very uncomfortable, so after Erik's brother gets this notebook, I decided to sell the notebook. ”

"Because the occult department of Miskatonic University is very famous, there is a bar near Miskatonik University that is very famous, this bar is only allowed to enter the occult lovers who have passed their test, of course, the occult students and professors of Miskatonic University are super VIPs of this bar, not only can they enter without examination, but also consume for free, and the most important thing is that the owner of this bar often takes out the occult items he finds for exhibition or even auction, Over time, the bar developed a dedicated flea market. ”

So Eric's brother took Eric's notebook and some occult items that Eric kept in his dormitory to the bar and sold them, and they were soon bought by one person, who happened to be a friend of mine; My friend was an ordinary person, but he was very interested in the occult, so he used to go to the bar and buy some very tall and tall occult items, so after hearing about Eric, he bought everything with a wave of his hand, and then he made a video call to me and asked me to help him verify the authenticity of these things. ”
