my cthulhu game

Chapter 151 Mr. Chen, Are You Really Human?

Adjacent to the heavy industrial area of ​​D city.

A shadow wearing a coat and a hood was speeding through the underground space.

"Ha ha……"

Under the hood, one can faintly see his blood-red eyes and plastic-covered skin.The ten fingers are all sharp blades, and they are still stained with blood.

Shadow - The ghoul stumbled across a heap of unprocessed metal waste, narrowly stumbling over discarded pipes and machine tool casings.

The existence of ghouls has been blanked out on human society.For those sad ghouls who can neither join the "Fortress of Sanity" nor give up their desire for human flesh and blood, living in the shadow of the city, looking for carrion, and hunting those humans who are also abandoned by society is their only way to survive.

And now... even this little way of life is not left for them.

A black soldier with a "SAN" mark on his body stopped in front of the ghoul.The soldiers were covered in black armor, and their expressions under the masks could not be seen.

"Fortress of Sanity" mythological contingent equipped with exoskeleton armor!

No matter what kind of mythical creature it is, as long as it is transformed into a human form, it will become a human-shaped armored soldier, but its strength will only increase.

Behind him, the pursuers have arrived.

The hyena-like ghoul fell to the ground.In despair, the ghoul smelled the soldier's breath.

That's the taste of its kin.

"You abominable traitor..." With nowhere to go, the ghoul roared angrily.

The Iron Soldier grabbed the ghoul by the throat.The ghoul let out a series of wails, and the overwhelming force separated its body and head, and then it fell to the ground.

Dark red pus and blood flowed all over the ground.

"It was a mistake for you to appear here." A cold female voice came from under the Iron Soldier's mask.

That ghoul didn't understand until he died... why the "Fortress of Sanity", which has always been indifferent to all kinds of corners, launched a sudden large-scale cleaning of the underground garbage area where it had lived for ten years!And there is no negotiation, shoot to kill!

"Area A has been suppressed." The female steel soldier made a concise report before continuing to the next area.

For Bastion of Sanity...

With the presence of a great lord here, all the filth in the vicinity must be swept away, it's as simple as that!
……

Of course, Chen Qiang didn't know about some mythical creatures who had suffered catastrophe because of their arrival.

He focuses on his tasks on his phone.

[Task: Meet all other investigators within 30 minutes of the start of the game, currently completed]

[The additional objective "Find a safe stronghold" has been completed, and optional tasks will become visible]

Oh, the system...

If you dare me to go shopping for a while, the optional mission prompts will be swallowed up, right?

In any case, according to the system's judgment, this villa is "safe".

The result is good, all is well.

【Current task】

[Survive for seven days in 2999 (main task, time compression, equivalent to seven hours in the real world)]

The main task is the same as before, just a cold survival.

[Explore the hidden secrets of the Star Sea races (optional task)
Bravermen 0/2
Aiyihaiyiren 0/1
Leger Hess 0/1
Migo 0/2
Ancient 0/1]

Chen Qiang blinked at the screen of his mobile phone.

"Leaving aside these geeky names, this way of prompting for missions has a World of Warcraft feel to it."

"And, is this the end?"

The mission prompt itself is quite intuitive. The first number is "the secrets that can be discovered", and the following number is "the total number of secrets that can be discovered in the current mission."

"There are seven in total. I don't know what is so important about the systematic ordering," Chen Qiang said to himself, "and the ancients, a race that came to Earth hundreds of millions of years ago, are also impressively listed."

He glanced at Gu Shiyin who was checking the interior functions of the villa through the smart assistant.

Although some partial races may not remember clearly, I don’t know if I shouted into the air directly based on the memory of Cthulhu’s set set, would this count as completing the task?

…Learn the lesson from the last time Soul Beyond Arkham, the deadly experiment should be done when it is about to go offline.

On the side, Sayoko, who has not forgotten her duties as a secretary, is busy sorting out various materials from the online encyclopedia.Saixi became very interested in an engineering mech parked outside the villa.Mechas for work have played a big role in the development of the universe, but on Earth they are mainly training mechas and toys for the rich.

"Gu Shiyin," Chen Qiang asked, "can you arrange surgery for me and Xiaoxue now? Surgery to access the 'Dimension Engine'."

Whether it is a transforming exoskeleton or a driving mech, implanting a "dimension engine" is a necessary condition.

"We need to take a physical test first," Gu Shiyin maintained the cautiousness of a scientist, "Wait until I open the underground hangar..."

"Just any mecha for that kind of thing." Chen Qiang said, and he also read some information, "Including the one over there."

Cecilia has already got into the cockpit of the engineering mech with great interest.This crude mecha does not have any equipment that can be called "armed", but it is equipped with anti-gravity devices and pile drivers.

Mecha driving in this world does not require hand speed—the "dimension engine" in the driver's body and the "dimension engine" in the mecha are connected to each other through the resonance of the "virtual world".

Driver, mecha, dimension engine...

"'Dimension Engine' 'Virtual World', synchronized."

"Sync rate: 98.7%, an increase of 18.9% from your last sync rate"

"Abnormal data fluctuations have been detected, it is recommended to contact for maintenance"

Saixi's voice came from the cab: "Is this thing broken?"

"No, 79.8% is the data of the 'Saixi' possessed by your consciousness," Gu Shiyin said firmly, "Your data is much higher than hers, and even the mass-produced dimensional engine in your body is not enough to reach your full potential.”

"So strong?"

"It's enough to rank in the top fifty of the human pilots registered in the current database. Considering that you are on the plane for the first time and the dimensional engine bottlenecks you in your body, your real data may be ranked in the top ten or third. .” Gu Shiyin glanced at the display of the smart assistant.

Speaking of which, Chen Qiang thought to himself, that girl is now 99% fighting and 90% dodging... I wonder how much influence the acquired training will have on this quality.

"The basic functions of the cockpit also include the relevant detection mechanism of the dimension engine. In some areas where resources are tight, children are allowed to enter the cockpit one by one for detection." Chen Qiang said.

"When a person without a dimension engine implanted enters the cockpit, an error message will pop up, and detection data and suggestions related to the dimension engine will pop up." Gu Shiyin said.

"I'll come first." Qin Lingxue said, a little worried about the safety of this test, "Xiao Yezi, send me into the cockpit."

　I have something going on this afternoon, so I will update early at noon.
