Generally speaking, in the Cthulhu RPG Ga, any unknown liquid that's red can be assud to be human blood.
Of course, Liu Xing could now use dical judgnt to determine whether this so-called "soup" was really human blood. However, Liu Xing wouldn't do that because it was clearly a trap. If you identified this "soup" as made from human blood, your SAN value would definitely drop.
Even though Liu Xing was currently using a disposable character card, losing SAN points was still not preferable. He disliked that feeling of lancholy and loss.
"Wait a minute, why do I feel like I've seen this module sowhere before? Is this so kind of dream?"
While Liu Xing was still observing the room, Addison suddenly spoke up.
Liu Xing raised an eyebrow, and so scenes flashed through his mind, making him feel like he had encountered this module in reality.
"I didn't expect you guys to rember this module. It's quite interesting. Let tell you, this module is indeed adapted from a module in reality, but the content is roughly the sa. So, I temporarily blocked your mories of this module to prevent you from just following a guide and completing it in one or two minutes," KP Ghost said with a smile.
Liu Xing grinned. He hadn't thought that the module authors at the Cthulhu Role-Playing Ga Hall would be so lazy as to directly use real-world modules.
However, Liu Xing also noticed a keyword in KP Ghost's words— one or two minutes.
Clearly, this indicated that the difficulty of this module wasn't high, and with a guide, one could complete it in one or two minutes.
Thinking about this, Liu Xing shifted his gaze to the table and the steaming "soup."
The na of this module was "Soup," indicating that this bowl of "soup" was crucial to the module. In Liu Xing's scattered mories, he recalled that this place was indeed a dream.
"I finally rember. If nothing goes wrong, this is indeed a dream world, and we've been pulled into this place by so Great Old One. The actual mission is to escape the dream!" Addison said after contemplating for a while.
"Anyway, let's search this room first and see if there's any information," Zhang Jingxu said while standing up.
Liu Xing nodded. As he stood up, he noticed a piece of paper on his chair.
Liu Xing directly picked up the paper and looked at it. It was a map. The place where Liu Xing and his group were currently was the living room. The room to the east was the study room, the one to the south was the kitchen, and the one to the west was the bedroom. As for the room to the north, it was marked with a question mark.
"A question mark, interesting. Take a look at this, everyone." Liu Xing handed the "map" to Addison.
After Addison and the others took turns examining the map, Liu Xing spoke, "So, it seems that there should be so important information in these four rooms. We need to think about the order in which we should search these four rooms. However, thinking about it, I believe that the room with the question mark should be searched last. I suspect there might be a mythical creature inside."
Wu Wei nodded, smiling, "Just by looking at this iron door, you can tell this room is definitely suspicious. However, we don't know what mythical creature is inside. Hopefully, it's not sothing like a Formless Offspring. We don't have weapons to deal with Formless Offspring."
"Wait a mont, there's another sentence behind this paper—'The soup is getting cold, drink it while it's hot,'" Xue Jingliu waved the "map" in her hand and said.
So, the "map" returned to Liu Xing's hands.
"Well, Xue Jingliu, you are indeed more attentive. None of us noticed there were words behind it," Addison said with a grin.
Liu Xing put down the "map" and looked at the bowl of "soup" on the table; the steam had dissipated quite a bit.
Liu Xing frowned and said to the others, "It seems we're in luck. We've encountered a tid module. Look at this soup; it has cooled down."
Tid modules are relatively challenging in the Cthulhu RPG Ga. In this ga, gathering information is a crucial step, and each player's action consus a certain amount of ti. Therefore, it's difficult to gather complete information within a limited ti.
Thus, tid modules are not friendly to newcors in the Cthulhu RPG Ga, as new players lack experience in effectively searching for clues and decrypting information, making tid modules a graveyard for newcors.
"I can't believe this is a tid module. In that case, we need to act quickly," Addison exaggeratedly remarked.
Liu Xing nodded in agreent, saying, "Addison is right. We must take action. I think the ti for this tid module is around one hour, and we've already wasted more than five minutes."
Everyone nodded.
"Let's go to the study room first. Among these four doors, only the study room's door is open, and we don't have keys for the other doors," Xue Jingliu expressed her opinion first.
As Xue Jingliu said, Liu Xing's group hadn't found any keys yet, so their only option was to explore the study room.
Therefore, Liu Xing and Addison, the "adults," walked ahead, while Zhang Jingxu and the other three, the "schoolchildren," followed, entering the study room.
There was no electric light in the study room, only a lit white candle emitting a faint glow.
In the dim light, Liu Xing observed the room filled with various books.
Yes, although there was only one bookshelf in the study room, it was stacked with hundreds of different books, and Liu Xing also found quite a few bamboo slips.
"What is this? Is it 'Necronomicon'?" Wu Wei held a thick book, surprised.
"Necronomicon" is the most famous magical book in the Cthulhu Mythos, written by the mad Arab poet Abdul Alhazred in the year 730 AD.
The reason "Necronomicon" gained such fa is that it not only detailed the existence of Eldritch Gods like Elder Sign, Nyarlathotep, Azathoth, Cthulhu, Yuggoth, Shub-Niggurath, Tsathoggua, but also recorded the prehistoric Earth's history, including the ancient grudges between the Eldritch Gods and their servants, the Shoggoths.
Therefore, Liu Xing always considered "Necronomicon" to be the first magical book in the Cthulhu Mythos, and he didn't expect to see it here today.
