Real Cthulhu Running Game

When he saw the office he walked out of again, Liu Xing was sure that this floor was actually a large secret room. Although there were more than 20 offices that could be entered at will, except for the office he had left before, no office was worth mentioning, because these offices were not empty, but almost empty. The tables and chairs inside were just ordinary tables and chairs, and there was nothing in the cabinets.

Is this a hint that I should go back and see if there is anything else in the computer?

But before leaving the office, Liu Xing also deliberately checked the various information in the computer and found that he had already read them all or they were locked.

That's right, several files were locked with passwords, and after Liu Xing tried entering several possible passwords, such as his birthday and his previous home phone number, he found that all the passwords were wrong.

If there hadn't been a prompt when entering the password saying that it was a pure number password with a maximum of eight digits, Liu Xing would have filled in his own initials.

So Liu Xing also wanted to find some numbers that looked like passwords on this floor to crack the passwords of these files. After all, it stands to reason that the importance of these files with passwords must be higher than those files without passwords!

Wait, isn’t this just playing an escape room game?

Liu Xing had also played escape room games once or twice in the real world, but he just followed the crowd because there were professionals who frequently played escape rooms among the people he was with, so everyone just followed him.

So, although Liu Xing had played the escape room game, he had only played it, which was the so-called knowledge passing through his ears, but none of it remained in his mind.

Therefore, Liu Xing could only search for the information he wanted in this floor according to the experience he had accumulated over the years in the Cthulhu role-playing game hall.

But now I have just given it a cursory scan and found no valuable information.

Are these numbers all on the back of the cabinets and under the tables and chairs?

Then how long will it take for me to rummage through all the boxes and cabinets?

Liu Xing touched the back of his head and felt that time was becoming more and more urgent, because he was just taking a nap now, and it wouldn't be long before someone would wake him up for dinner, so if he had to rummage through all the drawers and cabinets to find the password, he might only be able to get through one or two rooms?

Moreover, at this moment, Liu Xing was not sure whether if he made a loud noise, it would attract the attention of the footsteps?

You know, in the same type of games, as long as the player makes too much noise, it will definitely attract the attention of certain beings, so the two words "rummaging through drawers" and "footsteps" cannot be put together. Therefore, Liu Xing suspected that he might have just knocked over a cabinet, and the footsteps suddenly sounded, and then there might be a chase scene.

Hmm, the more I look at this, the more it looks like the classic Pac-Man game, where the player needs to dodge an invincible entity while collecting something on the map to meet the requirements for passing the level, and this invincible entity will also turn on the automatic tracking mode when it approaches the player, and if it is at a certain distance, it will wander around without any rules.

Of course, in order to prevent this invincible existence from endlessly chasing the player, the pursuit of this existence will also be time-limited, which also satisfies the setting that the owner of the footsteps will suddenly disappear.

So this dream world is actually a small game with special rewards?

Mini games?

Liu Xing suddenly realized something. If this place was presented according to the design concept of a small game, shouldn't he just play this small game naturally?

So at this moment, you may be in the standby interface of this mini-game, so you can't see anything. But after you trigger the switch of this mini-game, some collectible items may appear in these offices and corridors.

Like little stars floating on the ground?

So how do you start this mini-game?

After thinking for a moment, Liu Xing thought of the computer again, so he went back and switched to the main interface, and then saw a black icon with the suffix .exe.

Obviously, this is the switch. After all, Liu Xing has never seen this icon before. But why is the icon completely black and doesn’t even have a name?

Please close your eyes when it’s dark?

When Liu Xing thought about the fact that there was no light outside the office before, he suddenly realized that the purpose of this game was to familiarize himself with the map at "dawn", and then wait until the game officially started and there was nothing outside the office again to rely on his memory to avoid the pursuit of the footsteps.

Realizing this, Liu Xing decisively walked out of the office again, memorizing certain key points as he walked, such as turning a corner after a few steps, and an office after a few more steps after the corner. After walking three times, Liu Xing was sure that he had remembered the general situation of this floor.

So, Liu Xing wanted to close his eyes and walk around to give it a try. As a result, when Liu Xing closed his eyes and took two steps, before ten seconds had passed, he suddenly heard a very regular but chaotic sound of footsteps.

Liu Xing subconsciously opened his eyes, and then found himself in darkness. It was obvious that the game had already begun.

How come there was no sign of this starting?

Could it be that after a period of time after I close my eyes, it will be recognized that I want to start the game?

Isn't this a bit unreasonable?

However, now that things have come to this, Liu Xing has no way to complain at this time, or it can be said that doing so will be useless and will only waste his time and energy.

This is indeed the case. When Liu Xing touched this "luminous bead", it turned into a stream of light and drilled into Liu Xing's mind. In the next moment, Liu Xing thought of a number - 6.

It is true!

Seeing this, Liu Xing knew that his guess should be correct, and then he couldn't help but complain in his heart about how boring the person who designed this dream world was. Couldn't he just send the answer to himself? Why did he have to play such a thrilling little game?

However, even though he complained, Liu Xing was very clear that this design was definitely necessary. After all, no one would make things difficult for their own people for no reason, especially at a time when jokes are not appropriate.

So there must be a reason for this, for example, in order to ensure that these files, that is, some information related to oneself, are known to outsiders, so such a verification system is specially made? Just like when you surf the Internet in the real world, a human-computer verification will often pop up for you to complete. Although these human-computer verifications seem to be easy for children to complete, they can really block the entry of certain "robots".

So a small game that players can easily complete may become an unsolvable problem for Ao Guanhai and others?

Although this possibility is rare, it is not impossible.

Just when Liu Xing was about to go out, he heard the footsteps coming towards him. If he rushed out at this time, he would not be blocked, but he would definitely be seen clearly by the owner of the footsteps. And according to Liu Xing's understanding of this kind of game, when he is seen by the pursuer, the pursuer will not only be determined to catch up with him, but also his speed will increase significantly.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

If it was in a relatively complex terrain, Liu Xing felt that he still had a chance to get rid of it, but although there were many rooms that could be entered on this floor, it was ultimately a circular passage similar to a playground track. This meant that basically, apart from competing with the pursuer to see who could run faster, there was no possibility of hiding. Even if you used the blind spot at the corner to hide in an office, as long as the pursuer had a certain level of intelligence, he would be able to determine which office you were hiding in.

After all, you were out of sight for only a few seconds, and with your speed you could hide in the first few offices, so you could find it by just checking them one by one.

Therefore, unless it is absolutely necessary, I must not let this pursuer see me!

Although Liu Xing still didn't know what would happen if he was caught by the pursuer, it would definitely not be a good thing, so it would be better for him not to be caught.

Since he couldn't go out at this time, he could only find a way to hide in this office. Of course, if he just hid behind the door, it would still be too dangerous, and if he hid under an uncovered table, it would be even more like covering one's ears and stealing the bell. So Liu Xing thought of a law in the gaming industry - as long as there was a cabinet that could be opened in a game, then nine out of ten times you could hide in it!

Liu Xing recalled the size of the cabinet and confirmed that he could really hide in it!

Without further ado, Liu Xing stopped hesitating and directly opened the cabinet and hid inside. However, since Liu Xing had no relevant experience, some bumps and bruises were inevitable. In addition, Liu Xing did not dare to make too much noise at this time. So when the footsteps were about to reach the door of the office, Liu Xing reluctantly pulled the cabinet door to cover most of his figure. Fortunately, the cabinet was well maintained and the bearings did not make any squeaking sound at this time.

However, to be on the safe side, Liu Xing did not dare to close the cabinet door completely, because before this, when Liu Xing opened and closed the cabinet door, he found that there was an obvious "click" sound when the cabinet door was closed. So if the owner of the footsteps was not deaf, then he would definitely realize that there was something in the cabinet.

At this moment, Liu Xing saw something walking into the office. The reason why Liu Xing was able to determine this in the dark was that in addition to the guidance of the footsteps, Liu Xing could also vaguely see the outline of this thing, or rather, its countless legs!

That's right, this thing looks like it has more than ten legs, and each foot is wearing a different shoe. However, when it walks, only one leg is on the ground, and the other legs are raised. That's why Liu Xing could hear the footsteps at normal intervals before, but each footstep was obviously wearing a different shoe.

Because Liu Xing was curled up in the cabinet at this time, he could only see the legs of this thing, but he could not see what was on the legs. Of course, Liu Xing did not want to see it at this time. After all, if he really saw it, it would mean that this thing really saw him.

But at this moment Liu Xing suddenly realized what the design idea of ​​this thing was. Perhaps it was the crowd in front of a child!

Because children are only that tall, the crowd in their eyes is just a bunch of legs. If this is the design idea, Liu Xing guessed that the person who designed this thing must have been lost when he was a child, so when he saw these legs in panic, he was naturally very scared, leaving an indelible impression deep in his heart.

Commonly known as psychological shadow.

Thinking of this, Liu Xing wanted to calm down and observe which pair of shoes these legs corresponded to. He wanted to find the most special shoe among them, that is, the shoe that represents his family. Perhaps when this shoe falls to the ground, this thing may be a friendly force.

Of course, this is what Liu Xing thought along the lines of his own design ideas. If not, that is also normal. After all, designing an unsolvable monster in this kind of game can actually bring players a better gaming experience, because such a monster will have a stronger sense of oppression and promote the player's adrenaline to surge, so that they can have a greater sense of accomplishment and satisfaction after escaping.

However, if it were a game in the real world, an advantage of such an unsolvable monster is that it can prevent players from solving the monsters in advance by exploiting bugs, and the chasing game without monsters becomes a spring outing mode.

Just when Liu Xing wanted to figure out what the shoes in front of him were, this thing turned around and left. However, it only took a few steps before entering the office next door. After staying for a while, it walked into an even closer office again.
