Dice In The Darkness: Cthulhu Calls
Chapter 175: The Entrance of the Killer Demon!
Chapter 175: The Entrance of the Killer Demon!
Soon, Yin En executed a graceful brake, halting in front of King Tindalos's daughter. Liu Xing also spotted the four figures clad in black, each gripping a katana, seemingly ready for combat.
There are various types of katanas, such as the tachi and the riba, but among them, the most suitable for battle is the katana.
Yin En opened the car door and said to King Tindalos's daughter, "Miss, get in the car quickly!"
However, King Tindalos's daughter exclaimed with excitement, "Uncle, am I your master? My name is Mian Valley Green, and you can call me Lady Mian Valley Green!"
Wait, why does this dialogue sound a bit off?
Only now did Liu Xing get a clear look at King Tindalos's daughter, aka Mian Valley Greenan image of her formed in his mind. She had forgiving-colored short hair, her left eye covered by a black eyepatch, and her right eye a golden pupil. She seemed to be around 16 or 17, according to the app's estimate.
Therefore, Liu Xing concluded that Mian Valley Green was a full-fledged chuunibyou!
Yin En, with a black line on his forehead, looked at Mian Valley Green. He was about to get out of the car and push Mian Valley Green inside, but the four figures in black were already approaching the car. Two of them had even switched to handguns, pointing them at Mian Valley Green and Yin En.
Seated in the back, Liu Xing silently pulled out the specially crafted Nyarlathotep pistol from his waist, ready to shoot at any moment.
When deciding to go to Ziwu City Airport, Liu Xing anticipated a possible confrontation and, therefore, carried the Nyarlathotep pistol with him.
Observing the current situation, Liu Xing realized it would be better not to draw his gun, as Yin En and Mian Valley Green were already under the control of the men in black.
Liu Xing knew that, on the way here, Yin En had taken out his pistol from the backpack he carried. However, because Mian Valley Green blocked Yin En's line of sight and the ballistic trajectory, Yin En couldn't aim at the men in black at the first opportunity. After all, Yin En was just an international mercenary and not adept at using guns that could make bullets curve. Thus, Yin En could only hide his gun-wielding left hand in the blind spot of the men in black's vision, waiting for an opportunity.
At this moment, Liu Xing also noticed that, due to the one-way glass of Yasaka Masumi's car, the men in black couldn't see him sitting in the back. Liu Xing decided to stay hidden and watch the situation unfold.
"Hey, who are you guys? Why are you chasing this girl?" Yin En, with great courage, calmly said when faced with the handgun.
Seeing Yin En not panicking in the face of their gun, the men in black began to treat the situation cautiously.
The leader among the men in black, A, stepped forward and said, "Friend, we also have a mission and just want to invite this young lady to visit us. So, please don't meddle."
Yin En chuckled, pointing at the handgun in A's hand, "Oh, you guys with guns look like you're inviting someone for a friendly visit. I think you're trying to kidnap this young lady."
A frowned, his tone unfriendly, "Heh, friend, don't toast and not eat the fine wine. We're kindly asking you to leave. We're already giving you face. If you persist in this stubbornness, don't blame us for not being polite. You should know this is the wilderness; if someone dies, you can just toss the body anywhere, and no one will come to collect it!"
After A finished speaking, he took big strides forward, intending to forcibly take Mian Valley Green away.
Yin En furrowed his brow, carefully signaling to Liu Xing. Liu Xing understood Yin En's meaning; he planned to launch a surprise attack when the men in black were about to approach Mian Valley Green. This would divert their attention, and then Yin En could take control of the leader, A, as in the current situation, A should be the leader among these four men in black.
Just at that moment, Liu Xing suddenly heard the sound of dice rolling behind him. Liu Xing knew that Watanabe Jiang was making a perception check.
Watanabe Jiang, 2/70, critical success. Liu Xing chuckled; a critical success in a perception check at this moment wasn't very meaningful and could even lead to a critical failure in the next check due to the law of conservation of luck.
However, something unexpected happened.
Watanabe Jiang, 80/75, failure.
Watanabe Jiang, 1d3=2.
Clearly, Watanabe Jiang was making a sanity check. Liu Xing was very curious about what Watanabe Jiang saw after the critical success in perception that led to a sanity check... It was the Killer Demon!
Suddenly, Liu Xing realized something and looked out of the window. The sky outside had completely darkened, and the streetlights along the highway had come on.
Indeed, it was the Killer Demon. Liu Xing hadn't forgotten that the Killer Demon's lair was near Ziwu City Airport. Now that it was dark, it was time for the Killer Demon to appear. So, Watanabe Jiang must have seen the Killer Demon!
After a brief consideration, Liu Xing decided to remain still and wait for the Killer Demon's entrance. He wanted to see the Killer Demon's stance first before deciding on his actions.
Yin En seemed to have the same idea. Liu Xing saw Yin En's tense body relax a bit, trying not to show hostility outwardly to avoid provoking a potential attack from the Killer Demon.
After two or three seconds passed, Liu Xing saw Hayabusa Ren and Gu Jun approaching from the other side of the glass. Watanabe Jiang was a few steps behind, looking somewhat uneasy.
The men in black naturally noticed Watanabe Jiang and his two companions. So, Black-clothed Person A halted and raised his handgun again, vigilant of Watanabe Jiang's group. The two men wielding katanas had also switched to handguns.
The tension in the scene escalated.
However, soon everything would undergo a drastic change because the Killer Demon made its entrance.
Liu Xing first felt a slight vibration, then from the green belt beside the highway, a dark figure suddenly leaped out and pounced on Black-clothed Person A!
Liu Xing looked up and saw a sturdy man over two meters tall, wielding a giant blade about two meters long. The man's face was unclear.
This was the Killer Demon!
Killer Demon, One Slash Two Halves, 23/90, success.
Killer Demon, Power of the Demonic Spirit, 17/85, success.
Killer Demon, 2d8+1d8+2d6+10=6+3+5+10=24!
After the damage was calculated, everything became clear.
Black-clothed Person A didn't have time to react; he was directly cleaved in half by the Killer Demon, and his organs scattered on the ground, blood splattering everywhere.
Everyone who witnessed this scene was utterly shocked.
"Alright, all players who saw this scene, please make a sanity check. On a success, decrease 1 point of SAN value; on a failure, decrease 1d5 points of SAN value. By the way, this time, the SAN value check will provide players with half the value of Cthulhu Mythos knowledge to reduce SAN, rounding up." KP Li Shunchan said with a smile.
