Chapter 279: Cross-modal

Entering the private room, Liu Xing saw a young man, leisurely drinking coffee.

"Young master, I've already brought people here."

After the man in black finished speaking, he left the private room.

Liu Xing raised his eyebrows, sat down unceremoniously opposite the young man, and then picked up the coffee on the table and took a sip.

It's bitter.

But for the sake of his image, Liu Xingqiang pretended to be calm...

"Looks like bitter coffee, friend." The young man said with a smile.

Liu Xing nodded, put down the coffee and said, "Of course, bitter coffee is refreshing, but I still don't understand, what are you looking for me, we don't seem to know each other, right?" โ€

Liu Xing originally thought that the person looking for him should be someone known to Watanabe Meteor, but now that he saw this young man, Liu Xing realized that there was no such person in Watanabe Meteor's memory.

"Hehe, I forgot to introduce myself, I'm Zhang Jingxu, a Chinese." Chen Wenlong stretched out his hand and said with a smile.

However, what made Liu Xing more concerned was that there was a strange tattoo on Chen Wenlong's tiger's mouth - two crossed spears, flashing with a strange green light.

Mark tattoos!

Liu Xing raised his eyebrows, but he didn't expect Chen Wenlong in front of him to be a player.

Marking tattoos is a convention between players and the most convenient way to meet.

After all, in some mods, players will mix with NPCs when importing the story, and if players don't know each other, then in order to determine who is the player and who is the NPC in the crowd, someone will deliberately show some unique tattoos on their body to make it easier for other players to meet with them.

There is also an advanced version of the marker tattoo, which can add 10 points to add any color to your tattoo, and this color can only be seen by the player.

But then again, Liu Xing can now be sure that Ming Hanxing and Yin En are players, and in the mod description he is currently conducting, it has been clearly stated that there are only three players, so where did the player in front of him come from?!

"Hehe, congratulations Liu Xing, you have come into contact with the biggest feature of the Cthulhu Run game lobby, that is, cross-mod, after all, our Cthulhu Run game lobby has always been advertised as the real first, so in the same parallel world, there are often multiple Cthulhu Run games at the same time, but most of the mods occur in very different locations, so many players will not be exposed to cross-modding in their lifetime." KP Fangs said with a smile.

Liu Xing raised his eyebrows, he didn't expect that he would come into contact with players who were working on other mods, which has to be said to be a kind of fate... Of course, this is because the island country is too small, and if you play multiple mods at the same time, as long as the player of one mod can move freely, then it is very likely to bump into the players of other mods.

Wait, the name Zhang Jingxu seems a little familiar.

Liu Xing raised his eyebrows, and finally remembered the name Zhang Jingxu, isn't this the companion who participated in the temporary recruitment module when he was just promoted to the Shogues area?!

However, at that time, Zhang Jingxu had to become a primary school student because of the module, and now Zhang Jingxu has returned to his original appearance, so Liu Xing didn't recognize Zhang Jingxu for a while, after all, this name doesn't match the previous image at all.

At this time, KP Fangs continued: "Okay, because it's a cross-mod, so you two players can open a ten-minute secret room time for free, chat and catch up on the old days or something, and after the secret room time is over, continue to go your own way, okay, now the timer begins." โ€

As soon as KP's fangs fell, Zhang Jingxu said: "I went, I didn't expect to be able to meet players from other mods, I thought you were an important NPC in my mod." โ€

Liu Xing smiled and pretended to be mysterious: "Classmate Zhang Jingxu, do you still know me?" โ€

Zhang Jingxu frowned, and said with some doubts: "Uh, do we know each other?" Did you open a new character card? Let me think about it, the player I met in the Ghoul area should be the one who can call me a classmate, after all, I have already graduated from school after advancing to the Shogoth area. โ€

Liu Xing shook his head and said with a smile: "Then you guessed wrong, I am Liu Xing, the doctor in the Internet addiction treatment center." โ€

Zhang Jingxu was stunned for a moment, then patted his thigh and said: "Ah, it turned out to be you, so it is understandable that you call me a classmate, I didn't expect us to be able to meet here, which shows that the two of us are still quite fateful, but then again, Liu Xing, you are tearing the card, I remember I read a news before, it was said that there were two Chinese tourists on the Yueshi cruise ship, and they fell into a coma in order to stop the cult sacrifice ceremony, and one of them was called Liu Xing, and it was obvious that this Yueshi was the allusion of the Shiwol, So at that time, I was sure that the Yue Shi incident was a mod, and Liu Xing, you were the player, but I really didn't expect it to be you. โ€

Liu Xing nodded, sighed and said: "Yes, that mod is a confrontational mod, two players on the side of the fanatics, one is a ghoul, and the other is a deep diver hybrid, how can this be played, fortunately, in the end, I fought a fish to die and the net was broken, and I didn't suffer too much." โ€

Zhang Jingxu smiled and said with interest: "Anyway, Liu Xing, do you know the origin of the souvenir shop you just entered?" โ€

Liu Xing raised his eyebrows, it seems that Zhang Jingxu should know that the souvenir shop was opened by Mi Ge, and Zhang Jingxu should be against Mi Ge this time.

Of course, the heart of defense is indispensable, and it is naturally impossible for Liu Xing to say anything to Zhang Jingxu.

So, after thinking about it, Liu Xing said with a smile: "Of course I know that the souvenir shop should be a Mi Ge industry, but I am a little unsure about the specific situation, because I met an NPC that was transformed by Mi Ge in my mod, and this NPC is very important to my mod, so I came here for a trip." โ€

Zhang Jingxu naturally knew that Liu Xing didn't tell the truth to himself, but Zhang Jingxu didn't want to say anything, "I see, it seems that Liu Xing, you are still quite lucky, this souvenir shop is a trap specially used by Mi Ge to catch people, if there are foreign tourists who enter this souvenir shop alone, then Mi Ge will let his subordinates catch these tourists, and I don't need to say more about the fate of these tourists, so when I see Liu Xing and you leave the souvenir shop safe and sound, I will think that you are an NPC, a and Mi ยท Ge has a relationship with the NPC. โ€

Liu Xing nodded and said: "That's true, if I hadn't prepared for it, maybe I would have planted it in this souvenir shop, but then again, Zhang Jingxu, this module of yours is a little difficult, and it actually involves Mi Ge." โ€

Zhang Jingxu smiled, shook his head and said: "Fortunately, my profession of this character card is a Taoist, and the main quest of this mod is just to help a local rich man in Kobe deal with a supernatural event, and the protagonist of this supernatural event is an empty ghost, and Mi Ge is a side quest with a very high reward, as long as you find Mi Ge's lair, you can get 1000 points, so I will squat here." โ€

Liu Xing nodded, he didn't expect Zhang Jingxu's profession to be a Taoist priest, and the empty ghost is indeed very suitable as the protagonist of a supernatural story, because the empty ghost is a subordinate mythical creature that can move dimensionally, with tough skin like leather, covered with hair, and has huge claws, a flat face with no obvious facial features, and no eyeballs in the eye sockets.

The appearance of such a penetrating empty ghost,Although the combat effectiveness is average,But the empty ghost has the ability to travel through dimensional space,That is to say, the empty ghost can travel to a higher or lower dimensional latitude at will,And can take an item or a creature to other dimensions by consuming MP,So the empty ghost is called the elusive hunter,Favorite after staring at a prey in another dimension,Drive the prey to a confined space through various means,And then appear to kill or take away the prey, Therefore, the empty ghost is undoubtedly a ghost in the eyes of the NPC.

Thinking of this, Liu Xing said with a smile: "The empty ghost is not easy to deal with, after all, the empty ghost has the ability to travel through dimensions, and it is very difficult for you to catch it, but then again, we are really fateful, there is also a female ghost in red in the module I met this time, and nine times out of ten it is still a real ghost." โ€

"Oh, that's interesting, the chance of meeting a real ghost in the Cthulhu Run game is similar to the chance of running into a ghost in reality, after all, there are too many mythical creatures in the Cthulhu Run game." Zhang Jingxu said with a smile.

Liu Xing shrugged his shoulders and said noncommittally: "By the way, Zhang Jingxu, can you tell me the characteristics of Taoist skills, I may have a female Taoist NPC in that mod, and the relationship with me is a bit bad at the moment, because the profession of my character card is actually a fanatical believer, so you know." โ€

Zhang Jingxu smiled and said: "Female Taoist, this is a bit rare, and are you sure that she is a Taoist priest and not an onmyoji or something, after all, Taoist priests are our Chinese characteristics, and they are still rare in island countries." โ€

Liu Xing nodded, and said affirmatively: "Of course I can be sure, that female Taoist priest is also from Huaxia, and now she is studying in the same high school as my character, but then again, you Taoist priests should also have a small circle, maybe you know her, her name is quite distinctive, and she is very masculine, called Lu Tianya." โ€

When Zhang Jingxu heard the name Lu Tianya, he said with a shocked face: "What, you said Lu Tianya?!" โ€

Liu Xing raised his eyebrows, nodded and said, "Well, Lu Tianya, do you know her?" Wait, I heard that when Lu Tianya was in high school before, he once partnered with a classmate surnamed Zhang to perform various exorcism rituals in the magic capital, so is it Zhang Jingxu? โ€

Zhang Jingxu was silent for a moment, and then said with some sadness: "That's right, that's me... โ€

Liu Xing couldn't help frowning, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

"Lu Tianya was actually a player before, and she entered this game one step ahead of me." Zhang Jingxu said slowly: "At that time, I didn't know what Cthulhu was, she often told me that she dreamed something terrible and indescribable in her dreams, and she escaped death in her dreams every time, and I was still laughing at her at the time, saying that she knew cranky thoughts all day long, and now I think about it I am still too young." โ€

"Later, by chance, or by necessity, I entered the Cthulhu Run game, and at that time I finally understood what the unspeakable thing in her mouth was, except that by then she had gone to America to find the truth of everything in her mouth."

"Then, when I was promoted to the Shogoth area, I met her again, but by that time she had forgotten about me and became an NPC, but we became good friends again, just like before."

"Then, I began to investigate why she became like this, in fact, the answer is very simple, the current Lu Tianya is just her initial character card, because she tore the card because she fell off, and did not resurrect this character card, so this character card was automatically converted into an NPC."

After speaking, Zhang Jingxu took a sip of coffee.

"So, Zhang Jingxu, why don't you stay with Lu Tianya, why did you suddenly choose to disappear when you graduate?" Liu Xing asked with some confusion.

Zhang Jingxu sighed and said with a smile: "Liu Xing, in the Cthulhu Running Group game, the player can't help himself, I was pitted because I was caught by the intermission growth, when the plot time came to the eve of the graduation ceremony, my intermission growth is called the road to the future, and the result I voted out was to enter the mountain to practice, so I was forced to leave her, ran to Longhu Mountain to practice for a whole year, and lost her contact information, if I hadn't met you today, I really don't know her whereabouts." โ€

Liu Xing nodded thoughtfully, and then said: "Then let's do it, when the time in the secret room is over, we will lead the topic to where Lu Tianya is, so that you know Lu Tianya's location, and then you can go to find Lu Tianya, and by the way, you can also give me a token or something, so that I can help you contact Lu Tianya, and secondly, Lu Tianya should not trouble me." โ€

Zhang Jingxu nodded and said seriously: "Then I'll trouble you, Liu Xing, thank you." โ€

At this time, KP Fangs spoke: "It's almost time, then I'll release the secret room time, but I have to remind the two of you, don't forget your own mods, it's best to keep a certain distance before the end of the mod, because now both mods involve Mi Go, it is easy for the two mods to have a chemical reaction and affect each other, but the main quest of these two mods will not change, so please be cautious." โ€

The Chamber of Secrets time ends.
