Of course, Xue Long understood what Liu Xing's eyes meant, but he couldn't turn his face on the spot right now, so he could only choose to pretend that he didn't see it.

As for Tian Qing, he is now blushing.

Seeing Tian Qing's appearance, Liu Xing knew that his confession today was stable... If you can clear the level smoothly this time.

Liu Xing knew very well that the offline running group activity suddenly held in Black Fairy Tale Town must be aimed at his group.

After all, it's still the same sentence, there are few people who have been in contact with the Cthulhu Mythos in China now, so as a peripheral product of the Cthulhu Mythos, there are fewer players in the Cthulhu Run group game, so in the current Black Fairy Tale Town, there are definitely not a few tourists who are proficient in the Cthulhu Run group game, so if Liu Xing and others perform well in this event, it will definitely attract the attention of the enemy camp, and surveillance will definitely be indispensable at that time.

Of course, Liu Xing and the others can also choose to take the initiative to hide and pretend that they have never been in contact with the Cthulhu Run game, or simply not participate in this event, but if they do this, it will be difficult for Liu Xing and others to collect information about the boss of Black Fairy Tale Town, because the boss of Black Fairy Tale Town can demarcate certain amusement facilities with mythical creatures as staff in the name of holding activities as activity areas, prohibit ordinary tourists from entering these activity areas, and then set a suitable entry threshold. This way, only players with experience in the Cthulhu Run game will be able to access these areas.

However, Liu Xing also knew that his hidden plan this time would be very successful, because Xue Long's pig teammates would be his best cover.

At this time, the staff of the visitor center also began to stand up and distribute the Investigator's Medal.

Liu Xing and the others are naturally one person.

To Liu Xing's surprise, the pattern of this investigator's medal was not the old seal or Cthulhu head he imagined, but the pattern of a dagger and a pistol crossed.

This pattern seems to look familiar.

Liu Xing frowned, and suddenly remembered the origin of this pattern.

Gang of Gunslingers.

There are many clubs in the Cthulhu Run game hall, and nine times out of ten, these clubs are offline clubs, and the club members basically only communicate through the chat room that comes with the Cthulhu Run game hall, so as to ensure that the members of the various clubs do not affect each other in the real world.

However, there are always exceptions.

Some clubs will set up a base offline to recruit players in the same city as club members, so that everyone can better exchange information, make an appointment with the team to participate in the module together, and if a club member encounters an accident in the mod, other club members will also help him arrange the aftermath.

However, some clubs recruit club members under the guise of this, but in fact, they keep these club members in captivity to provide them with points, and then "dispose of" these club members after they have no use value.

The Gunslingers are such a club!

And Liu Xing also suspected that his teammate in the first mod, Wang Qi, was killed by the Gunslinger Gang.

Because some players in the forum have summarized that there are those black-hearted societies rooted in major cities, and there is currently only one Gunslinger Gang in Rongcheng.

So Liu Xing also looked up some information related to the Gunslinger Gang before, and found that the main members of the Gunner Gang were only five people, but they also knew that what they did broke the rules, and there were also many senior players who were committed to fighting the Gunners and other black-hearted clubs, after all, in terms of the nature of the Cthulhu Run game lobby, the more players the better, because only when the player base is up, can players be promoted to the Satogua area faster, This makes it possible to learn the truth behind the Cthulhu Run game lobby.

Because these black-hearted societies are specialized in deceiving players in the Shogoth region, after all, players in the Shogoth region are not qualified to go to the forum, so they don't know about the existence of black-hearted societies, so senior players can only destroy these black-hearted societies in the real world, so the main members of these black-hearted societies have begun to hide their true identities.

However, the leader of the Gunslinger Gang should also be the boss of Black Fairy Tale Town, because in the news known to Liu Xing, this guy's identity in the real world is the CEO of a well-known company, and it is precisely because of this identity that many novice players are willing to join his club.

But in addition, Liu Xing also knew that this guy was a native of Rongcheng, male, about thirty years old, and spoke fluent Mandarin.

This is quite rare among the locals of Rongcheng, after all, the local accent of Rongcheng is still quite strong.

However, this is also one of the important bases for identifying him.

At this time, Liu Xing felt that his mobile phone was vibrating.

Liu Xing pretended to glance at his phone casually and found that it was a text message from Yin En.

Because Yin En and others also guessed Liu Xing's current thoughts, Yin En's text message is not long, and the main content is to let Liu Xing act alone and contact him by text message if he has something.

In addition, Yin Eun also mentioned that they all think that the reason why the Cthulhu Run game lobby designed this mod is actually because the boss of Black Fairy Tale Town is the leader of the Gunslinger Gang, so the Cthulhu Run game hall is planning to clean up these black sheep.

There is also the reason why Ding Kun stayed in Rongcheng is actually to investigate the dynamics of the Gunner Gang, because Ding Kun also participated in the veteran player alliance against the black-hearted society, so Ding Kun also has a lot of information about the Gunner Gang, which will be sent to Liu Xing after Ding Kun sorts it out.

This is good news for Liu Xing.

After receiving the investigator's medal, the staff also gave Liu Xing and others a booklet.

Although Xue Long had the intention of being pretentious, he also knew that he didn't know the Cthulhu Mythos, and he had never played the Cthulhu Run game, so for the sake of insurance, he still motioned to Tong Xiaoyu to hand the booklet to Tang Jiansong.

As for why it wasn't given to Liu Xing, do you still need to ask?

Liu Xing and the others found a small table, and Tang Jiansong opened the first page of the booklet and placed it in the middle of the table, so that everyone could see the content of the first page—a girl in a donkey's skin running in the forest.

"What kind of fairy tale is this? Why am I not impressed at all? Li Mengyao said with a puzzled expression.

Liu Xing and the others shook their heads, saying that they didn't know that this painting represented that fairy tale.

But at this time, it's time for mobile phones to come into play.

After entering the two keywords of "donkey skin" and "fairy tale", Liu Xing and others knew that the fairy tale represented by this painting - "Donkey Skin Princess", and "Donkey Skin Princess" is also from the famous "Grimm's Fairy Tales", and its author also has a well-known work - "Cinderella".

"What's going on, why didn't I read this story in Grimm's Fairy Tales when I was a kid?" He Meimei asked.

At this time, Xue Long immediately answered: "Actually, this is also normal, "Grimm's Fairy Tales" made a lot of deletions and changes when it was introduced into China, because its original content is really a little discordant for children, after all, the stories in "Grimm's Fairy Tales" are collected and sorted out by the Grimm brothers, and many stories have some discordant plots, because these stories are not for children to see. ”

Liu Xing very much agrees with what Xue Long said, because in Liu Xing's opinion, the original work of "Grimm's Fairy Tales" is definitely not a collection of fairy tales.

If you want to make a comparison, Liu Xing feels that the original work of "Grimm's Fairy Tales" can be compared with "Strange Tales from Liaozhai".

By the way, in the original work of "Strange Tales from Liaozhai", teacher Pu Songling often drives without saying a word.

But then again, these dark fairy tales do have a high correlation with the Cthulhu Mythos.

"It seems that the fairy tale elements in this black fairy tale town should all be taken from the original books of those fairy tales, not the harmonious versions that we know." Tang Jiansong frowned and said, "The story of "Donkey Skin Princess" is also quite simple, that is, before the mother of the Donkey Skin Princess, hoped that the father of the Donkey Skin Princess, that is, the king, would marry a wife as beautiful as her in the future, but after the king searched the whole country, he found that only the Donkey Skin Princess was the most suitable candidate, and the Donkey Skin Princess was definitely unwilling to marry her father, so the Donkey Skin Princess used the donkey skin as a disguise with the help of the fairy and fled with her sweetheart... Tsk tsk, no wonder this story was directly cut when it was introduced into China. ”

Liu Xing touched his chin and said, "In this case, we have to find this donkey skin princess now, and judging from the content of this illustration, the donkey skin princess should have escaped at this time, so I think our task is very likely to help the donkey skin princess take off this donkey skin." ”

"Then where shall we go to find the donkeyskin princess?" Tong Xiaoyu immediately asked.

Liu Xing smiled, pointed to the map of the black fairy tale town on the side wall and said, "Of course, I went to the forest area of the black fairy tale town." ”

The town is divided into five areas – the castle area, the town area, the forest area, the marine area and the most central area for tourists to eat and shop.

After determining the goal, Liu Xing and the others set off for the forest area.

There are three main recreational facilities in the forest area - the minecart of the seven dwarfs, the candy house, and the wolf grandmother's path.

According to the tourist brochure, the minecart of the Seven Dwarfs is a roller coaster to put it bluntly, but the roller coaster runs in a tunnel with various Cthulhu Mythos-style paintings on both sides of the tunnel; The candy house follows the original plot, there will be a staff member who plays the witch, and the visitors will be locked in a small room by the witch after entering, and then the tourists must find a way to use everything in the candy house to "kill" the old witch... That's right, visitors can't leave the candy house until they "kill" the old witch, which is actually a modified escape room.

The last and most noteworthy is the road of the wolf grandmother.

Although the name is called Grandma Wolf's Road, in fact, in addition to the main plot of the big bad wolf and Little Red Riding Hood, there are many other fairy tale characters who are involved in the side plot, so visitors may encounter fairy tale characters such as the three little pigs looking for building materials and the hunter who came to hunt down Snow White.

However, this is a black fairy tale town with a Cthulhu style, so if you don't complete the mission within the allotted time, you will be caught by the big bad wolf and a group of ghouls to a special haunted house with a forest as the base for punishment games.

Of course, visitors can also choose to visit the haunted house on their own.

Obviously, the donkey skin princess should be on the path of Grandma Wolf.

I have to say that the scene layout of the black fairy tale town is quite good, this wolf grandmother's road is lined with bare trees, the weeds that reach the ankles have withered and yellowed, and from time to time there will be a fork in the road, which naturally leads to various side plots.

In addition, Liu Xing also saw a lot of old seals on the trees on the side of the road.

Because the clues of the donkey skin princess are not difficult to find, so now many tourists have come to the road of the wolf grandmother, and the staff is also ready to set up a checkpoint at the entrance of the road of the wolf grandmother, and only six teams of investigators can enter the road of the wolf grandmother at a time, because there are a total of six plots in the road of the wolf grandmother, and the donkey skin princess is one of them.

That's where the essence of the Cthulhu Run game comes in, where each of the six teams of visitors who enter together needs to send a representative to draw lots, and then decide where each team of visitors will go based on the results of the lottery.

Of course, the five teams of tourists who did not find the donkey skin princess can also get information from other fairy tale characters in various ways, and then guess that the donkey skin princess is at that fork in the road, if you guess correctly, you can go directly to the location of the donkey skin princess, if you guess wrong, you can only come back to line up for the lottery.

It's very a Cthulhu run group game.

At this moment, the KP order spoke: "Because this mod takes place in the real world, in this mod, except for the confrontation with the players of the enemy camp, there will be no forced judgment, so players only have five chances to make their own judgment, if the judgment is successful, the Cthulhu Run game lobby will distort reality!" ”

Liu Xing was shocked, he didn't expect this kind of operation.

To put it simply, in the process of waiting for a while, if Liu Xing does not draw the lottery to the location of the donkey skin princess, then Liu Xing can ask for a lucky decision, if the luck judgment is successful, then the lottery in Liu Xing's hand will be directly turned into a lottery to the location of the donkey skin princess by distorting reality in the Cthulhu Running Group game hall.

This can be said to be a change of life.

It's a pity that there are only five chances to use it.
