"I did see a duck, and it was very decadent, the system ■■■■." Mo Xiaoyao shut up, and anyone who heard what he said turned into an indescribable result would do the same. of.
Jiang Yan looked at her calmly: "Stop talking, it probably involves the core of the dungeon, and it will be automatically blocked."
Mo Xiaoyao nodded and swallowed his words about the appearance of "three values". According to the setting of Cthulhu World, once the "San value" returns to zero, people will lose all sanity and become crazy-if they are in a running group, it means that the master of this character chess piece belongs to the administrator , its owner lost control of it.
So what is the situation now? Mo Xiaoyao is not sure, but judging from the inability to communicate with each other, she suspects that this is very important information. Moreover, the system told her through side mission 2 that the San value is -10... But, is it really only minus 10? Where she doesn't remember or know, maybe some was secretly deducted, but because there are no side quests, she can't be notified.
In Cthulhu's world setting, the reduction of "San value" comes from the questioning and understanding of the world, as well as the impact of various spiritual levels, and there are some very complicated explanations - "San value" , You will fall when you are stimulated, you will fall when you are frightened, you will fall if you understand the essence of the world, and you will fall if you think in a way that does not belong to this world.
In short, the "San value" is dropping all the time, and it is only a matter of time before going crazy to zero.
Mo Xiaoyao really wants to know what is his "three value" now, what is the upper limit, and how long before he goes crazy.
Maybe she'll go crazy tonight.
"I think we should act separately now." Mo Xiaoyao looked up at Jiang Yan, thinking that the unevenly coated blond hair on his head was really charming, "Go and trigger your branch line, and I'll look for it later." Find another one, so that when two people are together, the single-player copy will always be triggered by the person who doesn't want to trigger it."
Jiang Yan thought for a few seconds and felt that Mo Xiaoyao was right. The two agreed to meet at the only tavern in the village at dinner time, and then separated temporarily to do what they should do.
Mo Xiaoyao wandered around the village endlessly, emptying his mind at the right time, trying to let himself enjoy the scenery instead of thinking about things, hoping to restore some "three values" in this way. Putting aside subjective emotions, Mo Xiaoyao actually thinks that this crayon-painted village is pretty good-looking, just like a game with a similar style that she played before, which is very interesting.
Before he knew it, Mo Xiaoyao walked to the center of the village, which should be a place similar to a market. There were several vendors selling vegetables and fruits, and a little girl carrying a basket selling bread and flowers.
Well, squatting in the corner is a little girl in a colored hood and cloak who is selling matches.
After thinking about it, Mo Xiaoyao took the initiative to walk over, and in the eyes of the other party, asked, "Are you Little Red Riding Hood, or a little match girl?"
The girl tilted her head to look at Mo Xiaoyao, and took out a box of matches from the basket and handed it to her: "Who stipulated that Little Red Riding Hood cannot sell matches?"
[Sub-quest 3: Do what Little Red Riding Hood should do
Ahh, what happened in this world? Why doesn't Little Red Riding Hood go to see her grandmother? The wolf is starving to death! The old rules, either go back and feed the wolves, or die now!]
After receiving the side mission, Mo Xiaoyao didn't even move her eyebrows. This was expected, but she didn't know which path the girl in front of her would choose—to continue her fate, or be killed here by her.
To be honest, the feeling of killing a duck is not the same as killing a person. Although his hands are already stained with blood, Mo Xiaoyao doesn't like this kind of cannibalism.
What's more, killing will also reduce the "San value", probably by a large margin.
"Sister Rabbit, what are you thinking?" Little Red Riding Hood still held her hand flat and did not move at all, "Just buy a box of matches, only 20 common currency."
Mo Xiaoyao touched his carry-on bag, not in a hurry to pick up the matches, and asked, "Can you tell me why you don't want to see your grandma?"
Little Red Riding Hood withdrew her hand, rolled her eyes, and half squatted and half sat down against the wall. Then she took out a cigarette from her pocket and put it in her mouth, took out a match that was supposed to be sold to Mo Xiaoyao, struck it with a "chi" sound, and lit the cigarette.
"Another meddling... Huh..." The smoke ring spit out from the girl's mouth, the color is gray, and it is also the style of crayon drawing, "Day after day, year after year, I walk on the same road every day. On the road, carrying the same things, meeting the same idiot wolf, picking the same flowers... and finally finding the same grandmother... Do you want this kind of life?"
Mo Xiaoyao shook his head honestly: "I don't want to."
Little Red Riding Hood once again exhaled smoke rings: "Phew... So, is there a problem with me wanting to change my life?"
Mo Xiaoyao: "No problem."
Little Red Riding Hood looked up at her, the dark circles under her smoky makeup made her look more mature: "Then why don't you leave?"
Mo Xiaoyao took two steps back and took out his bow and arrow again: "Although I sympathize with you and agree with your thoughts, just like you, I am also a person who can't help myself - either go back or die, you choose yourself .”
No one wants to have a repeated life, but Mo Xiaoyao just wants to complete the task and live.
At first, Little Red Riding Hood seemed to be frightened, the hand holding the cigarette remained motionless, letting the curling smoke rise, and the flame of the cigarette butt flickered.
However, a few seconds later, as if she had heard the biggest joke in the world, she sat on the ground with her whole body, her legs forward, and her upper body leaning against the wall, laughing so hard that she couldn't breathe.
"You know? This is the funniest joke I've heard this year." Little Red Riding Hood wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with her left hand without a cigarette, and smeared her makeup along the way, "I actually still There is a third way."
Mo Xiaoyao raised his eyebrows: "What?"
"Kill you, and then continue to sell my matches." Little Red Riding Hood replied.
After a moment of silence, Mo Xiaoyao suddenly laughed. She put away her bow and arrow, walked to the base of the wall on the other side of Little Red Riding Hood, and sat down in a similar manner.
"Actually, I also have a third option, which is to go to the fucking side missions, and I choose not to do it."
Little Red Riding Hood looked at her sideways: "If you don't do the task, you won't get the reward."
Mo Xiaoyao also turned his head: "After completing the task, the 'San value' will drop faster, right? Speaking of it, I don't understand why there is a setting of Cthulhu in a good fairy tale?"
"Maybe the author has gone crazy?" Little Red Riding Hood took another drag on the cigarette, threw the remaining 1/3 of the cigarette butt on the ground, bent her legs and rubbed it twice with the soles of her feet, "You said that doing tasks will lose 'San value' , then do you know that if you sit here and discuss this with me, it will fall faster?"
Mo Xiaoyao was not surprised by this conclusion, and nodded: "I think it should be falling since I came in, but I can't see the value. I don't know how long it will be crazy."
Little Red Riding Hood stood up on one hand, shook the red hooded cloak on her body, stomped her feet again, then lowered her head and asked Mo Xiaoyao, "Do you have anything to eat?"
Mo Xiaoyao: "Do you eat it, or give it to others?"
Little Red Riding Hood: "What's the difference?"
Mo Xiaoyao also stood up, summoned his collection card book, took out the [Chicken Burger] and [Dark Cuisine] in it, and handed them to Little Red Riding Hood.
"Interesting." Little Red Riding Hood didn't refuse, took the hamburger, stuffed it into her mouth and took a bite, then carefully placed the dark food packaging bag in her basket, took two steps forward and turned her head.
"I am not the first Little Red Riding Hood, nor will I be the last."
After finishing speaking, she left Mo Xiaoyao with a lively footstep that did not match the makeup on her face, singing a weird song loudly: "Entering the Black Forest, bringing bread to the sick grandma, the journey is unpredictable, but we She is known to be terminally ill..."
Mo Xiaoyao felt that she seemed to have heard this somewhere.
[Complete side mission 3: Do what Little Red Riding Hood should do
Get "Little Red Riding Hood's Parting Advice"
San value -15]
Wow... The more you lose, the more this is, Mo Xiaoyao thinks that maybe she should write down the suicide note while she is still sober.
She has done 3 side quests, and she has not seen the main quest so far. Apart from knowing the Black Queen's tea party at 3 o'clock tomorrow afternoon, she has no other clues about this dungeon.
The last words of the ugly duckling are: Don't be too curious about the world, it will hurt you.
Little Red Riding Hood's parting advice is: I am not the first Little Red Riding Hood, nor will I be the last.
In addition, what Jack's mother told her to leave here before was not considered formal advice, but more or less half a clue.
Compared with the confusing dungeon in front of him, Mo Xiaoyao even felt that the graduation season was no more difficult. Although it was only half a star away, it was a world of difference. Graduation season has main quests from beginning to end, and the pitfalls can be regarded as obvious. It seems like now, although I haven't been cheated much, but there is a feeling of powerlessness, like a punch on the cotton.
Looking up at the blue sky drawn by crayons, Mo Xiaoyao suddenly had a strange idea in his heart. He wondered if there really would be night in this world. It always felt that since she entered the dungeon until now, even Not a single cloud changed position.
"Click!"
There was a crisp sound, the sky was still blue and white clouds just now, and it suddenly turned into a dusk scene under the afterglow of the setting sun. The switching method was like a kind of film or slideshow that Mo Xiaoyao played when he was young. The kind of box that you press lightly, and after a "click" sound, it will become another picture.
Needless to say, the picture is still crayon style, the afterglow of the sunset is painted orange and red to fill the sky, but it is only the sky.
Mo Xiaoyao looked down at the ground, it was still black as before, as if the sunlight here was just a decoration, and no matter how it changed above, it would not be projected to people's sides.
In just a few seconds, there was another change in the village. The vendors in the market disappeared in an instant, and the vendors walking around the streets seemed to disappear at the same time. Candles or oil lamps were lit in every household, and smoke rose from the chimneys.
These scenes reminded Mo Xiaoyao all the time that it was time to go to the tavern to meet Jiangyan, maybe after dinner, the night of chaos would come.
