Chapter 5: The Truth
The old seal is a very strange existence in the Cthulhu mythology system, simply put, the old seal has a miraculous effect on most mythical creatures, because the old seal is actually equivalent to filth in the eyes of these mythical creatures, just like the product of human reincarnation, but for most mythical creatures, especially those evil gods have no so-called good intentions and malice towards human beings, just like human attitudes towards ants, they are just casually done, Therefore, many evil gods would not attack humans with old seals under normal circumstances, because they were afraid of getting their hands dirty...
As such, the Old Seal is known as one of the three artifacts in the Cthulhu Run game, which can save your life in many situations, and of course, some mythical creatures won't mind getting dirty hands in some cases, so don't expect the Old Seal to be as effective against mythical creatures.
However, the old seal can also form a combination technique with another artifact in the three artifacts in the Cthulhu Run game, but here it will be sold first, and we will talk about it when Liu Xing gets another artifact.
"Looks like this amulet is a good thing." Liu Xing took out the talisman with the old seal and put it in his suit pocket in case he needed it.
In the Cthulhu Run game, as long as you can get the old seal, then your chances of survival will be much higher.
Liu Xing then looked at the text messages again, but found no useful information, so he put away his mobile phone.
Although he got an old seal, Liu Xin still didn't get much information useful for side quests, which made Liu Xing sigh, but it was still early, and he was idle, so Liu Xin took a serious look at this secret room for the first time.
This secret room is about more than 20 square meters, in the middle is the table where the four of them are sitting around, behind the million, there is a poster of Sailor Moon, on which you can see a lot of dark red bloodstains, which is somewhat similar to the last photo that Liu Xin saw from Shanhe's mobile phone, so Liu Xin can judge that this secret room is one of the crime scenes of the tragedy that year.
In addition to this, behind the rootless grass, there is a small cabinet with a desk calendar that looks very old.
At this time, Liu Xing already had a bold guess in his heart, and now Liu Xing felt that he was getting closer and closer to the truth, and he only needed to confirm two more things before he could complete this novice room task.
Thinking of this, Liu Xin began his own actions.
"Looks like there should be some clues in that cabinet, why don't we open it and take a look?" Liu Xing asked the other three.
"There shouldn't be anything in this cabinet." Rootless Grass frowned and looked at Liu Xing.
Seeing this, Liu Xing grinned, "How can you know if you don't look for it." ”
After Liu Xing finished speaking, he stood up and slowly walked to the cabinet, and he could feel that the eyes of the other three were already on him.
"What are you all looking at me, let's take a look, what's in this cabinet?" Liu Xing looked at the three of them and said with a smile, while Shanhe and the others didn't say anything, just looked at Liu Xing silently, which made Liu Xing's guess in his heart affirm.
Liu Xing walked to the cabinet, opened the cabinet effortlessly, and found that there was only one thing in it - the household registration book.
Liu Xing smiled secretly in his heart, this account book was exactly what he wanted to find the most.
The task of this newbie room is really simple.
"Old Chinese medicine doctor, you bring the household registration book, let's look at it together." At this time, Rootless Grass suddenly said: "I am very familiar with this family, and I can verify the authenticity of this household registration book."
"Oh." Liu Xing smiled, picked up the desk calendar and took a closer look, "Maybe I don't need to trouble you." ”
The time shown on the desk calendar is November 2000.
Now, Liu Xin knows that all the clues have been connected into a line, and the truth is close at hand.
"This side quest is so simple, it makes me a little inflated." Liu Xing walked back with a smile and sat back in his place.
Liu Xing put the account book on the table, copied his hands, and said with a smile: "Now I don't need to open this account book."
As soon as Liu Xin said this, the faces of the mountains and rivers and the rootless grass changed, and only millions still lowered their heads.
Liu Xing looked at their performance and was relieved, it seemed that it was time for this game to end.
"I'm not targeting anyone, it's just that all of you here are not alive." Liu Xing pushed the glasses that didn't exist again, and said in an affirmative tone.
When Shanhe heard this, he immediately took the case, and angrily yelled at Liu Xin: "Who are you saying is not a person, you kid has a kind of tell me again!"
The rootless grass on the side also stood up and stared at Liu Xing viciously.
And Liu Xing smiled indifferently: "It seems that I am right, you are those three ghosts, right?"
After speaking, Liu Xing looked at the million, and said with some pity: "Sure enough, the cute ones are all boys."
Million, who had been keeping his head down, raised his head after hearing the words, staring at Liu Xing with a pale face, and the mountains and rivers and rootless grass on both sides also looked at Liu Xing with a look of surprise.
"Looks like I'm right." Liu Xing picked up the household registration book, "This should be your household registration book, take it." ”
At this point, Rootless Grass could only smile helplessly, sat down again, took the household register, and said in a calm tone: "How did you know all this?"
Liu Xing sat up straight and said with a smile: "Actually, from the very beginning, I felt that something was wrong."
"When the game started, I was observing you, and it turned out that you all didn't care about my observations, which is obviously not the reaction that normal people should have, after all, when faced with the undisguised observation of strangers, normal people will react more or less, but you don't."
"The second is that your costumes are a little too strange, especially Shanhe, who are now all indoors and wearing hats." Liu Xing pointed to Shanhe's baseball cap, "Later, when you showed me the photo, I was still thinking about the meaning of you wearing it like this, until I had a bold guess that your strange dress was to cover up the scars of your death, such as Shanhe's head, you are the deceased in the second photo." ”
When Shanhe heard this, he shook his head helplessly, and said, "So I was exposed?"
"No, I was just a little skeptical." Liu Xing continued, "When I really started to turn my guess into doubt, it was actually because Million triggered the side quest."
Liu Xing stood up and stretched, "Generally speaking, no matter what game it is, the task should be delivered to the player by NPCs, and the side quest was triggered by just one sentence at that time, which is obviously not quite right, so here, I began to suspect that the identity of the million is not simple." ”
Million raised his head at this time, and the red necklace that Liu Xing thought on his neck was actually a red blood stain, with this fine stitch on it.
"Then when Rootless Grass told me about the massacre that happened ten years ago, I found that you all had clues about the massacre, but I didn't, so at first I thought I didn't find it, so I found a talisman and a mobile phone on my body." Liu Xing said and put the phone on the table.
"This is a Nokia 5230, although I don't know exactly when it left the factory, but I used it in high school, it was around 2010, so at first I thought my character was a down-and-out office worker, and I still use this old-fashioned phone." Liu Xing played with his mobile phone and continued.
"When I was about to put away my phone, I found that there was no exact time on the phone, and there was no specific time mentioned in the text message.
Liu Xing put down the phone and said to Shanhe: "At that time, I remembered something, the mobile phone you showed me the photo was a smart phone, I didn't care about it at the time, but when I found out the problem of time, I was thinking, what year is it now?"
Shanhe smiled at Liu Xing and did not speak.
"So, at that time, I was already eighty percent sure that all three of you had problems!" Liu Xing said affirmatively: "However, I still have two questions that have not been resolved, one is what year it is, and the other is the gender of millions, whether it is male or female."
Liu Xing looked at the million, with a little inexplicable regret in his tone, "At the beginning, the clues you gave me should have been to mislead me into thinking that the family of three who were wiped out was two men and one woman, but I still remember that Wugencao said that the murderer was a classmate of the youngest son of the family, and the younger son, as the name suggests, should have an eldest son, so the family of three should all be men, so the person in the third photo who I think is a girl is actually a man." ”
Rootless shook his head and sighed, "It seems that it is my fault."
Liu Xing stood up and walked to the cabinet again.
"Finally, when I saw the cabinet, I knew I was able to confirm my idea." Liu Xinglai picked up the desk calendar and waved it at the million three.
"The time on the calendar is 2000, so the time of the massacre can be determined." Liu Xing sat back in place with the desk calendar, "Shanhe said that this tragedy happened ten years ago, so now it should be 2010, and Shanhe's smart machine obviously does not belong to this era." ”
The Cthulhu Run game is all about authenticity, so there are detailed regulations for the items that can appear in each era, so this smartphone of Shanhe is theoretically impossible to appear in 2010, unless Shanhe is from a great race of thieves.
"So my first question was satisfactorily solved." Liu Xing looked at the household registration book in Wugencao's hand, and then said: "Then when I got the household registration book, your performance had already told me, and my second question was solved."
Shanhe suddenly applauded at this time, "Good reasoning, you have passed, old Chinese medicine." ”
