Dice In The Darkness: Cthulhu Calls
Chapter 621: Simp
"Alright, now everyone can go home and rest, we'll leave the rest to the other colleagues." Wesker patted Chris on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Big Chris, it's been a while since we've had a drink together, how about you treat me to a drink today?"
Chris looked at Wesker with disgust and said, "If I'm not mistaken, Wesker, you've already owed me three meals, and today I've saved two of your team members, so isn't it a bit unreasonable for you not to treat me to a drink today?"
Wesker scratched the back of his head and said in a pretend helpless tone, "Big Chris, you know how terrible my wife is, I only have a little pocket money every month, and in a few days it's my daughter Alice's birthday, so I have to save some money to buy her a birthday gift, so, you see?"
Chris sighed and nodded, "Alright, I'll treat you to a drink today, but Wesker, if you get as drunk as last time, I won't send you back this time, because I don't want to be scolded by Charley again."
Wesker chuckled and turned to Liu Xing and the others, "By the way, in three days it's my daughter Alice's birthday, if you're free, please come to my daughter's birthday party, and I'll introduce you to some people who can help you with your future work."
Liu Xing and the others nodded, then watched as Wesker and Chris left arm in arm.
It seems that, as Alice will say in the future, Wesker and Chris's relationship is really good.
"Okay, I'll be leaving now too, if you gentlemen are free tomorrow after work, can you come help me move?" Jill said with a smile.
Liu Xing nodded and said, "Of course, we'll tidy up your room tonight, and we hope you won't mind us two rough guys."
At this point, Leon rubbed his chin and said, "By the way, Jill, I have a very important question to ask you, and that is, can you cook?"
Jill nodded and patted her chest, "Of course, my cooking skills can rival professional chefs, because as I've told you before, my parents are well-known local doctors, so they're very busy with their work, so I often cook at home by myself, and some of the chefs from famous hotels are among my parents' patients, so I've learned a lot of recipes from them when I was hanging out at the hospital, so if Leon you're willing to be in charge of buying the groceries, I don't mind being your chef."
Hearing this, Leon immediately reached out his hand and said, "Then let's work together happily."
Jill and Liu Xing chatted with Leon for a while before going home.
Since they lived next door, Liu Xing and Leon didn't rush home, but stayed behind to help. Although they were "helping", Liu Xing and Leon were basically just watching the show, since there wasn't much to do at the moment.
However, Liu Xing knew that Leon was trying to earn some impression points in front of Miss Wang.
Another half an hour passed, and Chief House led the other police officers to leave, while Miss Wang just sat there as if nothing had happened, seemingly planning to rest in the room where the gunfight had just taken place and three people had died.
Sure enough, Miss Wang is a wolf.
"Officer Leon, Officer Chris, I have to thank you for saving my life, if you hadn't been here today, I might have been kidnapped by those three criminals," Miss Wang said seriously.
Liu Xing chuckled and shook his head, "This is our duty as police officers, but I have to ask, Miss Wang, why did you choose to live here, and from what happened today, it seems Miss Wang didn't have any bodyguards in this building."
This was a question Liu Xing had always wanted to ask.
Although Liu Xing had already determined that Miss Wang was not an ordinary person and could easily deal with those who wanted to harm her, in the eyes of ordinary people, as a super-rich heiress, Miss Wang should have had more than ten black-clad bodyguards to protect her safety.
So Liu Xing now wanted to know if there were any of Miss Wang's subordinates among the tenants in this building.
If there were, then who would they be.
"You're right, now that Miss Wang's true identity has been revealed, there will be more and more people who want to harm Miss Wang in the future, so from the perspective of our police department, Miss Wang, it's best for you not to stay here anymore, because to be blunt, the security measures in this building are almost zero, if it weren't for the fact that this building is close to the London Police Department, Chris might not have been able to hold out until backup arrived," Leon said seriously.
Miss Wang smiled again and nodded, "First of all, I want to say that I hope Leon and Chris won't be too concerned about my true identity, and continue to treat me as your landlord and friend, just call me Mary. Secondly, I will continue to live in this building for a long time to come, because this building is very important to my family, and in order to truly become the family chieftain, I have to live here for a certain period of time, and I have to spend every night in this building, otherwise I will lose the position of chieftain."
"As for my bodyguards in this building, I did have some, but some things happened recently, so my bodyguards are temporarily busy with other things, and there's only one bodyguard left in this building, but unfortunately, his father passed away yesterday, so I let him go back to his country for the funeral today, and I didn't expect those guys to make a move today, but don't worry, Leon, I'll take care of those guys, and you won't have to work overtime anymore."
Liu Xing raised an eyebrow, beginning to feel that this building might not be simple.
Because from Miss Wang's words, it was not difficult to analyze that the reason she would stay in this building was because there was something in this building related to her being able to become the chieftain of the Wang family, so she had to stay here.
And this thing would only appear at night.
Most importantly, the reason why Yis PeopleIthaqua chose to kidnap Miss Wang was very likely to get this thing.
So what exactly is this thing?
"Okay, I need to wash up and go to sleep now, because I have a lot of things to do tomorrow, so Leon, you guys can go back and rest too." Miss Wang smiled and dismissed them.
Liu Xing and Leon nodded and left Miss Wang's house.
Back at home, Liu Xing and Leon began to tidy up the study room.
"Leon, did anything happen after you hid in that room?" Liu Xing suddenly asked.
Leon paused for a moment, then shook his head and said, "After I led Miss Wang and the others to hide in the room, I had some people push the bed and cabinets to block the door, so that even if Chris ran into trouble, we could still block those guys for a while, and then after we did that, we just quietly waited in the room and listened to what was happening outside, and nothing particularly special happened in the meantime."
Liu Xing nodded and said with a smile, "It seems you guys really intend to abandon me. At the last moment, I was actually prepared to have you open the door and let me in, but I didn't expect you all to block the door directly."
Leon looked a bit embarrassed as he said to Liu Xing, "Uh, how should I put this, we've already assumed that you, Chris, are a true man who would rather die than surrender, so we didn't consider the possibility that you might choose to escape into the room."
Liu Xing sighed and pretended to be distressed as he said, "As I thought, you, Leon, are just a guy who forgets about righteousness for the sake of a pretty face. You can disregard my safety just for Miss Wang, it seems our friendship is beyond repair."
Since Liu Xing's acting was a bit exaggerated, Leon easily saw through that he was just putting on an act.
Therefore, Leon also went along with it and said, "Alright then, from now on, we'll just be surface brothers."
After saying that, Leon and Liu Xing exchanged a smile.
"By the way, Leon, I have to say one thing here. I feel that Miss Wang may not be suitable for you. Although Miss Wang's conditions in all aspects are very good, no, I should say they are excellent, but I still feel that there's something off about Miss Wang. Her performance today was just too calm, and from the incident more than 10 years ago, we can see that Miss Wang is a very decisive person."
Leon naturally understood the implication of Liu Xing's words, so he nodded and said, "I understand what you mean, Chris. I also think you're absolutely right. Miss Wang is indeed not very suitable for me, or rather, Miss Wang and I are just too incompatible, so I've already given up on pursuing Miss Wang. I only hope that I can protect Miss Wang within my abilities."
Seeing the serious Leon, Liu Xing suddenly had the thought of "simp" in his mind.
But putting that aside, Miss Wang's current conditions do deserve the title of "goddess", so if this wasn't a Cthulhu RPG Game, Liu Xing felt that he could also become Miss Wang's simp, because who knows, he might end up with everything in the end.
Liu Xing shook his head and pushed these strange thoughts out of his mind.
After tidying up the study room, Liu Xing and Leon each went back to their rooms to rest.
Lying on the bed, Liu Xing began to review the events that had happened today, as the amount of information was really too large, and he needed to sort it out.
First, the important NPCs that have appeared in this module. Liu Xing can be sure that Leon and the others are his helpers, and the Blood Hand Print Killer is temporarily considered his enemy. As for Miss Wang's position, it's a bit vague, because Liu Xing hasn't found the connection between Miss Wang and the main quest yet.
It can't be that Miss Wang will only truly start helping him deal with the Blood Hand Print Killer after Liu Xing helps Leon pursue her, right?
As for the Yis PeopleIthaqua that may have already appeared, although Liu Xing thinks it may be eyeing something in this building, he still hasn't found the connection between Yis PeopleIthaqua and the main quest of this module.
So Liu Xing now has a feeling that the main quest he currently needs to complete is not related to Miss Wang and Yis PeopleIthaqua...
This is clearly abnormal, after all, the purpose of this module must be to determine whether the "Liu Xing" character card belongs to him or Yis PeopleIthaqua, so Yis PeopleIthaqua must be related to the main quest.
Therefore, this Blood Hand Print Killer should be related to Miss Wang and Yis PeopleIthaqua.
So the main goal now is still to find out who the Blood Hand Print Killer is!
Secondly, what is Miss Wang's true identity?
Currently, the only thing Liu Xing can be sure of is that Miss Wang was probably just an ordinary person more than 10 years ago, but after she became the first heir of the Wang family, she became less ordinary.
And the reason that caused her to change so much is very likely also from that thing in this building.
It seems he needs to find a way to investigate the situation of this building.
Finally, there is a very important question, which is whether this module has any connection with the story Alice told in Fisher's Village?
Liu Xing still remembers that Alice's story happened during the time when her father, Wesker, and Chris were still working as London police officers, and the mythical creature that appeared in the story was a Ghoul.
So, is it really just a coincidence?
Fortunately, according to the hints of the main quest, he will meet that Blood Hand Print Killer in a few days, so he'll be able to see the outcome then.
But putting that aside, if this module is really the same as what Alice said, then he might be in trouble.
Because according to Alice's account, he will follow Wesker to the subway to carry out a mission, and then they will encounter an attack by Ghouls, and their group will suffer heavy losses.
The most important thing is that based on the current situation, Liu Xing doesn't feel he has the ability to turn the tide and change history, because if he really changes history, since Wesker didn't choose to resign and become a detective, Alice's life trajectory may undergo huge changes.
Then what about the modules he has previously done related to Alice?
Does he have to start over completely, or just simply replace Alice with Elise?
In addition, Liu Xing is also very concerned about whether he has a chance to see Isabella and her brother if he goes to Eins Town in Manchester now.
Liu Xing now has a very bold idea, which is to try to cooperate with Isabella's brother.
