Chapter 249: Mod: The Mystery of the Yue Shi Number, Begin!
"Liu Xing, I'll add you as a friend in the hall later, I think we will be together in the next mod." Yin En patted Liu Xing's shoulder and said with a smile.
Liu Xing nodded, because he thought so too, after all, at the end of the ending picture, "Liu Xing" and "Yin En" got on the same cruise ship, and the destination was also the universe country, so it was very likely that they would be involved in the same module.
A minute passed, KP Li Shunchan said with a smile: "Okay, now I should send you back, everyone who has cleared the mod this time, except for Yin En, as the MVP of this mod, who will get a reward of 1000 points, other players will get a reward of 800 points, and get a reward for improving the intelligence attribute a little, because this is the special hidden effect of the King Tyndaros communicator, okay, see you next time." ”
As soon as KP Li Shunchan's voice fell, Liu Xing returned to the real world.
As soon as Liu Xing stood up and stretched, Yin Eun's friend application arrived, and Yin Eun's ID in the Cthulhu Running Group game lobby was Ian.
"Liu Xing, have you read the system notification, we have to play the next mod game tomorrow."
Yin En's first message made Liu Xing frown, and immediately clicked on the system message that was flashing red.
"Dear player old Chinese medicine, because you triggered the special mod - the mystery of the Yue Shi, so please be ready to enter the special mod at ten o'clock tomorrow morning, thank you for your cooperation."
Liu Xing looked at the system information, and didn't know what to say for a while, he originally planned to rest for a few days and enjoy life, but why did he encounter a special module again, and it seems that it is still a closed module.
Closed mods are those in which the player can only perform activities within a certain range, such as a large house, a moving train, and a cruise ship where this particular mod takes place.
This kind of mod is relatively small because of the relatively small range of activity, and it will be subject to various restrictions, basically you will meet the enemies in the module head-on, so this type of mod is very unfriendly to Liu Xing's non-combat character card...
However, there are still advantages to this type of mod, that is, it is easier to collect clues, you can reach all the important people in the module in a short time, and determine your own action goals in advance, which will not be like open mods, which will take a lot of time and end up being confused.
"Liu Xing, have you read the system message?"
Yin Eun sent another message.
Liu Xing touched his chin and replied, "I've already seen that message, anyway, the Yueshi cruise ship we took is the sunken Sewol in reality, right?" ”
Sewol, a cosmos cruise.
At about 8:58 a.m. on April 16, 2014, the Sewol carrying more than 450 passengers capsized after a flooding accident 20 kilometers north of Pyeongbondo-do, Jindo-gun, Jeollanam-do, killing nearly 300 people.
Judging from these data alone, there is no problem, it seems to be just an ordinary shipwreck, but the death toll is a bit large, but after continuous media reports and more details exposed, the Sewol shipwreck is full of all kinds of weirdness, and even many people think that this shipwreck is not an accident, but a complete murder!
Because after the capsizing of the Sewol, the official rescue operation of the Cosmos was always a slow beat... Or it was more than ten beats slower, and the rescue operation was completely paddling, there was no intention of saving people at all, and the most important thing was that the civilian rescue team wanted to enter the Sewol for rescue, but it was stopped by the official rescue of the universe country.
As time passed, many strange things about the Sewol shipwreck were revealed, such as the Sewol should not have departed on the same day, because the heavy fog that day caused the other nine ships in the harbor to choose to suspend sailing, and only the Sewol insisted on leaving the port; Then, according to the Saiwol's navigation route map, it was also found that the Sewol capsized due to a sudden deviation from the normal course and a forced sharp turn; Also, at the beginning of the capsizing of the Sewol, the captain asked the passengers to wait quietly in their respective rooms for rescue, but the captain ran away with the crew himself, and locked the escape route before leaving!
This abnormal situation cast a shadow over the Sewol shipwreck.
In the end, in another incident, the best friend of the Prime Minister of the Universe Park Geun-hye was involved, and then he found out that Park Geun-hye's best friend could actually interfere in politics, and this best friend still came from a group that believed in "alternative" Catholicism, and her father was also the leader of this group!
Naturally, conspiracy theories about the Sewol suddenly became popular, and many people began to believe that the Sewol shipwreck was the result of cult sacrifice.
So if the mystery of the next mod is the shipwreck of the Sewol under the Cthulhu worldview, then Liu Xing can be sure that the final boss of this mod is those fanatics.
At this time, Ian also replied to Liu Xing, "That's right, I'm sure this mod is alluding to the Sewol, after all, the meaning of the name Sewol is beyond the earthly world, so it is more appropriate to change it to the Yueshi number, but then again, this time it is a human-triggered creation mod, and it is very likely that the two of us will deal with the other camp, that is, players whose profession is a fanatic." ”
At the end of the message, Yin Eun also attached a link.
Liu Xing clicked on the link and found that he had entered the help interface of the Cthulhu Run game lobby, which mentioned a special mod triggered by humans.
Artificially triggered special mods are divided into two types, the first type is a "follow-up plot mod", which is after the player has cleared a certain mod, because certain conditions have been reached in this mod, or when it is a wrong ending, there will be a chance to enter the "follow-up plot", for example, in a mod, there were originally two fanatics, one bright and one dark, and the players only solved the fanatics in the light, and temporarily terminated a sacrificial ceremony, which was successfully cleared on the surface, but because the fanatic believer in the shadows was still alive, So when the zealot is ready to continue the sacrifice ritual again, some players living in the "local" will be asked to do a special mod to get rid of the fanatic, and those who come from "out of town" will not need to play this special mod because they left after the first mod.
And the second type of special mod is the "creation mod", this type of special mod is because of some actions of the player, combined to "create" a new mod, for example, the player of a certain mod successfully transformed into a ghoul elder, and then he wants to rule the world with a convulsion, so he begins to develop "offline" in a certain city - attack humans and turn them into ghouls, so players in the same area under the same parallel world will be pulled into a special mod, Some players will be tasked with taking out the player who has become a Ghoul Elder, while others who are fanatics may be assisting the player who has become a Ghoul Elder.
Therefore, the "follow-up plot mods" are generally similar to ordinary mods, but the difficulty may be increased, after all, the bosses of this type of mods exist in the previous mods, and the players' behavior patterns are already known, and they will be strengthened in a targeted manner.
The "Creation Mod" is a faction confrontation mod, which is generally divided into two camps to fight against each other, and the clearance goals of the two camps must be opposed to each other, so players must solve the players of the opposing camps, and fight to the death.
Seeing this, Liu Xing has already understood that this mod should have one or more fanatical players who want to hold a sacrifice ceremony on the Yueshi, so he and Yin En, who "just happened" to take the Yueshi, were involved in this mod.
However, Liu Xing also noticed that there was a concept mentioned in the help - parallel worlds.
Liu Xing entered the world view with great interest, although Liu Xing also knew the concept of parallel worlds, but Liu Xing was more curious about what was different in the parallel worlds under the Cthulhu Mythos system.
According to the introduction in the help, there are three types of parallel worlds in the Cthulhu Run game lobby, the first is the parallel world in the modern background, the mods are all after 2010, and the locations are all over the world, so they are called modern parallel worlds; The second type of parallel world, the time of the module is advanced to 1920, and the location of the occurrence is mainly in Europe and the United States, most of which take place in England and the United States, so it is called the 1920 parallel world; The third type of parallel world, the time of the module is before the middle of the eighteenth century, before the beginning of the industrial revolution, the location of the module is concentrated in the European continent and China, so it is called the ancient parallel world.
Therefore, because there are these three types of parallel worlds, the players' character cards are divided into three types - modern character cards, 1920 character cards and ancient character cards, these three types of character cards can only appear in the same type of parallel world, Liu Xing, who only has modern character cards, is impossible to contact the other two parallel world types of modules, but when creating new character cards, you can modify the type of character cards at will.
Of course, there are tens of thousands of parallel worlds in the game hall of the Cthulhu Run Group, and the players' character cards live in these parallel worlds, theoretically a parallel world can accommodate tens of thousands of character cards, and the module takes place in a certain area of this parallel world, which may affect other character cards, such as the news that Watanabe River was arrested, in addition to Liu Xing and others knowing, at the same point in time, players who are carrying out other mods in the island country, It's also possible to see this news while watching TV or surfing the Internet.
Of course, if in this parallel world, there is a module that reaches the stage of annihilation, for example, Liu Xing and his party did not prevent the resurrection of the evil god Taketori, then this module will be "divided" by the parallel world to form a new parallel world, but this new parallel world will also be destroyed soon...
After reading the introduction of the parallel world, Liu Xing replied to Yin En, "It seems that we are lucky to be able to trigger a special mod." ”
"Of course, we'll have to cooperate well tomorrow, but in general, the mod of the faction confrontation class pays attention to two words - balance, the difficulty is not too high, it mainly depends on the intrigue between players, and I have to say first, my character card attribute skills will drop a lot after leaving Ziwu City."
Liu Xing looked at Yin En's reply, and couldn't help but smile, Yin En's character card was weakened in Liu Xing's expectations, after all, it is impossible for the Cthulhu Run Group game hall to give out benefits like this, so that the player's character card instantly turns into a phoenix.
After agreeing on the content of tomorrow's cooperation, Liu Xing was ready to grow in the intermission, but it turned out that there was only one intermission growth this time, and that was to "visit the collector".
Visit the Collector, when the player successfully arrives in the Universe Kingdom, they can get a 100% fragment of the "Xuanjun Seven Chapters of the Secret Sutra" by visiting the Collector.
To put it simply, if Liu Xing can pass tomorrow's mod, then he can get a fragment of the "Xuanjun Seven Chapters of the Secret Sutra" 100%.
Liu Xing touched his chin and decided to go out to eat.
At nine o'clock the next morning, after Liu Xing finished breakfast, he clicked on the matching game and waited for the mod to start.
As soon as ten o'clock arrived, Liu Xing went directly into the module.

Because the time of this module is immediately following the previous module, Liu Xing still hasn't been able to add other props to his belongings, and because of Ryoko Kanna, Liu Xing's mobile phone has also become a mobile phone card...
But the most important thing is that Liu Xing's knowledge of the Cthulhu Mythos has broken through double digits, which is not good news.
