Real Cthulhu Running Game

In Liu Xing's opinion, the time when Sirius entered the box of souls should be during the first time when the Shoggoths were suppressed, so there should be some Shoggoths stationed in the Fisherman's Village back then.

And because the cells of Shoggoth are extremely active, Shoggoth can be regarded as possessing the characteristic of immortality, and there is no problem in living up to now.

As for the appearance of Shoggoth, it can be regarded as a relatively terrifying existence among mythological creatures, because Abdul Alhazad, the author of the most famous magic book in the Cthulhu mythology, "Book of the Necromancer", once commented on Shoggoth, saying that just thinking of Shoggoth once existed on the earth, you will feel a particularly great fear.

So, that's why Panda Pig almost lost 20 San points at once when he saw Shoggoth.

And in this way, the hidden boss of the Fisherman's Village module is very likely to be an elite-level Shoggoth.

This made Liu Xing a little panicked. If this elite-level Shoggoth ended up fighting, the players like himself would basically be powerless to fight back.

What's more, Liu Xing felt that there were at least two ordinary Shoggoths in this Fisherman's Village. . .

etc!

Liu Xing suddenly remembered one thing, that is, he once read the original novel of the master of craftsmanship, which is also the first time Shoggoth appeared in "Crazy Mountains", mentioned such a detail, that is, the Antarctic scientific research team organized by humans found a mural in a city of the ancients, which described Shoggoth mimicking human appearance to please the ancients, which shows that Shoggoths have the ability to disguise themselves as humans!

That is to say, those villagers in Fisherman's Village might be mimicked by Shoggoths!

The more Liu Xing thought about it, the more likely it was that this conjecture was very likely, because the behavior of those villagers in the Fisherman's Village was really strange, they looked like puppets on a string, but if these villagers in the Fisherman's Village were regarded as Shoggoths, all this could be explained very clearly, because these Shoggoths that mimic humans are not good at acting.

And now, according to this conjecture, Liu Xing can already imagine the ins and outs of this module.

First of all, in the Fisherman's Village many, many years ago, the ancient Sirius and his clan were attacked by the Familiars of the Stars and the Deep Divers. Because he had no time to escape to the bronze gate leading to the Dreamland, Sirius had to die in battle.

At that time, the Shoggoths, who were servants and construction tools of the ancients, had failed because of the failure of the first Shoggoth rebellion. Sirius and other ancients kept the Shoggoths in their territory under strict supervision, and they might have locked them in some underground secret room.

As a result, the Shoggoths who were locked in the secret room were lucky to escape, because the Star Family and the deep divers only solved the ancients and did not search much.

Then, there is the vicissitudes of life. I don’t know how many years have passed. An ancient tribe appeared in the current Fisherman’s Village. As for the race of this ancient tribe, there is no way to verify it.

Because this ancient tribe discovered the bronze gate leading to the dreamland, and got in touch with the moon beasts in the dreamland that happened to be behind the bronze gate at that time. And started a cooperation.

This ancient tribe used the advanced weapons provided by the moon beasts to start attacking other races around them, and sold the captives of these races to the moon beasts as slaves, and the moon beasts provided more and more advanced weapons to the ancient tribe.

Perhaps by coincidence, this ancient tribe had discovered the remains left by the ancients, and took one of the buildings as their holy place and held sacrificial ceremonies.

Next, it is possible that the crazy expansion of this ancient tribe attracted the attention of the Star Family, or it may be that this ancient tribe triggered some ancient facility or mechanism during the sacrifice, which attracted the Star Family. In the end, although this ancient tribe has advanced weapons provided by the Moon Beast, it is simply a joke to use them to deal with the Star Family.

Ever since, the Star Family destroyed this ancient tribe, but at this time, the Star Family may have broken through the secret room where the Shoggoths were held during their attack, allowing the Shoggoths to finally regain their freedom.

However, it is still possible that due to the attack of the Star Family, the territory of Fisherman's Village has now become an isolated island, so the Shoggoths who got rid of the control of the ancients are naturally unwilling to return to the bottom of the sea to accept the slavery of the ancients, so these Shoggoths decided to stay on this isolated island, after all, freedom is more precious than anything else.

Therefore, the Shoggoths live freely on this isolated island, but although the Shoggoths have a strong evolutionary ability, the Shoggoths still need an imitator to be able to effectively evolve, so these Shoggoths have spent countless years without any ability to evolve.

At this time, the villagers from the original Fisherman's Village came across the sea and decided to build their own paradise on this isolated overseas island.

When these shoggoths see the villagers of the fisherman's village, they may still regard the villagers of the fisherman's village as their own. After all, these shoggoths themselves can mimic human beings.

Therefore, these Shoggoths may have peacefully coexisted with the villagers of these Fisherman's Villages at the beginning, or observed secretly, using the villagers of Fisherman's Villages as a reference to start a new round of evolution.

Ever since, these shoggoths have the ability to completely imitate human beings.

However, the Shoggoths at this time may have noticed that the villagers of Fisherman's Village are not their own kind, but a brand new version that they have never played before. . . Ah bah, a brand new race that the Shoggoths have never seen before.

And the Shoggoths should also know a word - people who are not of our race must have different hearts.

As a result, these Shoggoths attacked the villagers of Fisherman's Village, killed some of them, and ate them all.

Under the world view of Cthulhu Mythos, human beings can basically be regarded as a "delicious delicacy", because many mythical creatures like to eat people, maybe the taste of human beings is very similar to the taste of these mythical creatures.

So, Shoggoth is no exception.

Shoggoths who have eaten humans naturally know how good humans taste, so these Shoggoths are eager to eat more humans, but the Fisherman's Village is isolated overseas after all, and the Shoggoths also know the basic situation of human society through studying humans.

In the Cthulhu mythology, although the mythical creatures look like fierce monsters, these mythological creatures are not like those monsters in human movies. Although they are powerful, they will not use wisdom. You must know that most of the mythological creatures in the Cthulhu mythology have an average intelligence above that of humans.

Therefore, the Shoggoths know that it is impossible to rush out of the Fisherman's Village and kill humans wantonly at the nearest human gathering place with them alone, because this will definitely attract the attention of the island country and even the human beings all over the world. By then, they will only be wiped out by humans.

Therefore, these Shoggoths thought of a good way, that is to use various means to attract outside humans into the Fisherman's Village, and in the eyes of the Shoggoths, this best method is undoubtedly a beauty trap.

After all, Confucius, the old man said, food and sex are also sex.

So Matsui Yui began to leave the Fisherman's Village, looking for suitable people everywhere, becoming boyfriend and girlfriend with them, and finally using the excuse of going back to his hometown to get married, he brought those who had been kept in the dark to the Fisherman's Village, and the Shoggoths who stayed in the Fisherman's Village could have a full meal. . . Or their food.

Liu Xing closed his eyes and meditated. Although his conjecture was very bold, the possibility had already reached more than 80%. He only needed to confirm a few more details to prove this conjecture.

The first detail is, are there any humans among the villagers in Fisherman's Village?

At present, Liu Xing believes that there should be many real human beings in Fisherman's Village, but what can be confirmed at present is Matsui Ichiro and Matsui Yui, or it may be Matsui Yui, and the old man of the Inoue family.

All in all, Liu Xing believed that the Shoggoths launched an attack on Fisherman's Village after Li Yongjie left Fisherman's Village.

In this way, if Matsui Ichiro told the truth, then those two letters are very likely that the Inoue family deliberately forged letters to frame Matsui Ichiro in order to seek the position of village head, so that the Inoue family can kill Matsui Ichiro. If the murder case is discovered by the island country police, Matsui Ichiro can be used to portray Matsui Ichiro as a missionary of a secret church with evil plans, and the Inoue family is a hero who successfully killed the villain.

And if Ichiro Matsui was telling lies, then Ichiro Matsui should be a charlatan, and Ichiro Matsui, a charlatan, would be much more valuable to the Shoggoths than the villagers of Fisherman's Village.

So in the end, the Shoggoths decided to keep some useful humans for them, and the two most important humans are Matsui Ichiro and Matsui Yui, because Matsui Yui is the "bait" responsible for attracting outsiders to the Fisherman's Village; Matsui Ichiro is the "fishing rod" responsible for determining whether these outsiders are safe to eat.

As for the other villagers of the Fisherman's Village, they were brainwashed by the Shoggoths to become "extras". Because there should not be many Shoggoths in the Fisherman's Village, it is impossible to completely imitate a qualified village.

And the old man of the Inoue family may have recovered a certain amount of sanity for some reason. . . Of course, Liu Xing felt that the old man of the Inoue family was just a distraction in this module.

The second detail is why the Shoggoths drew those composite magic circles in the villa?

As a mythical creature, Shoggoth can also learn many spells in the setting, so it is understandable that Shoggoth can draw these composite magic circles. As for the magic circle related to the old ruler, Liu Xing thinks that Shoggoth should use it to enshrine Cthulhu, who is the enemy of the ancients.

As for why the Shoggoths drew these composite magic circles, the best explanation Liu Xing can think of at present is that these Shoggoths decided to make sure that the prey delivered to their door could be safely eaten for the sake of safety, and then after brainwashing these prey, they disguised themselves as these prey, and used various means to convey the information that these prey were about to commit suicide to the outside world, so that they could escape the investigation of the island country police.

Thinking of this, Liu Xing couldn't help sighing. He didn't expect that there are so many hidden elements in this module, and various interference options follow one after another. In just a few days, he has changed his mind many times. The most important thing is that every time he thinks that his mind is probably right. . .

Thinking about it, Liu Xing felt his face hurt a little.

"Although I just took the medicine Ishi Chuanling gave me, as soon as I think of that monster, my heart beats faster and my blood pressure rises. An inexplicable sense of fear has been lingering in my heart, and I still have lingering fears." Panda Pig said with a look of fear.

Although the origins of the previous star families and moon beasts were known, but this time Shoggoths are unknown. After all, under the modern background, the appearance rate of Shoggoths is still quite low, because most Shoggoths live in seclusion in various cities established by the ancients, and a small number of Shoggoths living outside have basically become subordinate races or symbiotic races of other mythical creatures, or servants of some powerful magicians.

Therefore, it is understandable that the character cards of all the players present did not know the existence of Shoggoth.

However, Zhang Jingxu, as a professional, still wants to express his opinion here, "Hey, if we can communicate with the outside world now, I can contact my master. I believe my master should be able to know the situation of the mythical creatures you mentioned in Panda Pig, so that we can also know ourselves and the enemy, and prepare in advance to deal with these mythical creatures."

And Shi Chuanling couldn't help complaining at this time: "If we can really communicate with the outside world, the most important thing we should do now is to send a distress signal to the outside world, let us leave the right and wrong place of Fisherman's Village..."

The atmosphere became a little awkward.

At this time, Liu Xing knew it was time for him to come forward, "Uh, I think I should have a way to know the specific situation of this mythical creature, because Sirius should know the existence of this mythical creature, after all, this was once Sirius' territory."

PS: Thank you for your rewards, I didn't expect to have them.
