☆16. Train to Moscow



Train to Moscow

"This trick won't work on me, dear Jiang. I can tolerate your other requests, but not this one, Jiang, no."

Earl Stanford thought for a long time and gave this answer, although he enjoyed Jiang Kexin's current initiative.

But he didn't want Jiang Kexin for the time being. He wanted Jiang Kexin to go from being a stranger to becoming his wife or their mother. In short, Jiang Kexin had to stay here forever.

If he stayed here, he would have to go to the dance, so he raised his finger to indicate that this was not possible.

Jiang Kexin, who was just trying to see if it would work, had a look in his eyes that said, "Sure enough, he actually had another way. This way would definitely work, but he didn't really want to use it."

But now she had to use it even if she didn't want to. Helplessly, Jiang Kexin, who had figured out that she no longer rejected the inexplicable love but wanted to use it instead, became determined from hesitant.

Sometimes it’s easy to figure out something but it’s not that easy to actually do it.

But for the sake of the overall situation, Jiang Kexin quickly prepared himself mentally. He hugged Earl Stanf reluctantly and held him in the same way that Earl Stanf held his face.

Under Earl Stanford's gentle and indifferent gaze, Jiang Kexin took the initiative to approach Earl Stanford.

Jiang Kexin opened her lips slightly to reveal her red tongue, which was pressed upwards, full of fragrance. She moved so close to Earl Stanford's face that her lips moved from nose to chin, like a kiss but not a kiss, playing hard to get.

Gentle, seductive, like a poisonous snake coiling around its prey, and Earl Stanford was that prey.

Earl Stanford's eyes were deep, and his body was restless as if something was about to break out of his body, but then he calmed down the impulse.

When Jiang Kexin closed his eyes out of shame, Stan looked at him horror-stricken.

Fortunately, Jiang Kexin did not open his eyes, otherwise he would be frightened when he saw Earl Stanford's eyes staring at him like dark balls.

When Jiang Kexin was about to kiss her chin, Earl Stanford stopped him. In the face of Jiang Kexin's puzzled gaze, he smiled. He knew clearly that it was poisonous but he was willing to accept it and be eaten by this snake.

[Jiang Kexin's Charm Check Result: 1d100=14/95 "Very Difficult to Succeed" Your charm is like a poisoned apple; He knows it but accepts it willingly.]

"...I really can't do anything about you, Jiang. Okay, of course I understand. Don't let me down." Count Stanf had very long eyelashes. When they drooped gently, no one could see his eyes, and no one knew what he was thinking.

Earl Stanford was very smart. He naturally knew that Jiang Kexin's initiative was not real, but he gave in because of Jiang Kexin's initiative.

Tana sat on the snow for a long time. It was not that she had not tried to explore again, but there was no trace to be found. So what should she do now? Looking at the endless snow, Tana could not find the answer, but a message came from Ellisted.

Ellisted: [That amusement park is full of monsters. Jiang Kexin is there, but he's being taken to some ball by some count. We have to rescue him before he attends the ball. I'm sure this isn't some secret group, Tana. We have to rescue him. This is definitely not a secret group. If it were, Jiang Kexin wouldn't have saved you. Tana, what did you find there?]

Of course Tana knew that this group couldn't be a secret group. If it was really a secret group, why would Jiang Kexin save her?

The main reason why Tana is looking for clues so seriously is that Jiang Kexin is her benefactor.

In addition, she still felt guilty and wondered if Jiang Kexin would have been taken away if she had not fainted.

However, now was not the time to feel guilty. Even Ellisted had found the clue, but he was still here, wandering back and forth, dejected, with nowhere to start.

This won't do. Tana was aroused by a strong desire to win. She stood up, looked up at the sky again, and found that it was already afternoon.

She had already wasted the entire afternoon here, and she couldn't stay here any longer.

Then she would try to investigate again. If she still couldn't find anything, she would leave here and go to the amusement park to meet up with her teammates and rescue Jiang Kexin.

But where is the best place to place the final exploration target?

Tana glanced through the train and passed by the abandoned fire. She looked at the floor for a long time, wondering what she was thinking.

Tana actually laughed and stepped into the train humming a song from her hometown.

The layout inside the train was still the same, with broken windows, the hole Jiang Kexin had dug herself, and the chocolate that fell on the ground. She didn't stop for a moment for these things, but instead took a step towards the floor.

The floor is the starting point of all things and the place where people stand. As for why Jiang Kexin appeared in the amusement park, no matter what the reason was, Jiang Kexin must have stood on these floors. So no matter what happened, it would leave traces here.

However, such subtle differences cannot be distinguished by the naked eye, and this is when investigation is needed.

Tana's Investigation Check Result: 1d100=56/60 "Success"

Success has brought you a new clue, but is it really a clue or just bad luck? The clue is hidden in the floor, perhaps you can take a look.

After hearing this, Tana bent down and lowered her body very low. It was at this point that she discovered the problem. Before the train accident, the train was clearly made of steel. Now that the floor was no longer covered with snow, Tana discovered a strange scene. His lower body was actually made of wooden planks like those used in medieval steam trains.

Tana didn't quite understand, but she suppressed her doubts. What was more important now was to find the suspicious spots on the floor, so Tana continued to lower her eyes and carefully search every detail of the floor.

Finding what you need among so many floors is a very patient job, and Tana happened to have a lot of patience.

During her boring search, she found signs of decay. The combination of decay and floor seemed abnormal.

Tana stared at it for a long time, and suddenly reached out boldly to touch the bumpy floor.

When the trace of decay was touched, a small cloud of black smoke came out and floated upwards.

Tana understood almost immediately after seeing the black smoke how Jiang Kexin disappeared. Jiang Kexin indeed disappeared here and it was very likely that she was taken away by this thing.

She couldn't help but sigh, it was indeed the world of Cthulhu mythology.

There are always some mysterious creatures here. These creatures seem harmless but always bring some fatal blows to people.

So what kind of monster or creature is this? Tana tried hard to recall what she had learned and read in the books.

That book of the dead, that book was the one she bought in the game market after she cleared the first world.

The first volume of the Book of the Dead is a book that can be a life-saving medicine at critical moments. It contains many Cthulhu monster illustrations and their corresponding methods.

However, because reading its forbidden knowledge can easily drive people crazy, it is not very popular.

Tana was not afraid of this, but she was forced to undergo countless mental evaluations during the reading process and went crazy several times because of this.

The reason her sanity is so low now is because she keeps reading the Necronomicon.

But in order to better understand herself and her opponent, she still insisted on reading it to the end.

Although her sanity became lower after reading it, the knowledge she gained was practical and helped her a lot.

Therefore, Tana can completely infer what kind of creature it is based on the black smoke in front of her and prescribe the right medicine, but there are too many categories of black smoke. After all, it is just a ball of black smoke.

He could be Naa or the Dream Witch.

In short, everything is possible. If she wants to know, she needs more accurate inspiration and mythological identification to help her.

Tana's Inspiration check result: 1d100 = 36/70 "Success"

This black smoke is similar to some high-dimensional creature, which you may have read about before.]

[Tana Cthulhu Mythos Identification Results: 1d100 = 54/56 "Success." But in this world, reading a lot isn't necessarily a good thing. Do you think this is a good thing? Your sanity is running low, and you're ultimately mad. You're a gambler.]

As the identification system said, Tana is a gambler, which can be seen when she continuously lowers her irreversible and unchangeable san value in order to read the Book of the Dead.

You should know that the san value is a special attribute that cannot be reversed or changed.

Although key attributes can be changed when importing each world, the sanity value and charm value are completely unchangeable attributes. They are fixed from the moment you enter the first world and are inherited until you go crazy.

However, there is a solution. Using special props to tear up the card and re-create a new character card can avoid the crazy sanity, but creating a new character card also means starting all over again.

This may be the reason why no one has been able to reach No. 1 for so many years.

However, few people noticed this. Even if someone noticed it, they would not tell others but keep it as their own secret. Logically speaking, Tana, who had just completed two game groups, should not know anything about it.

But Tana was a gambler, and she had known that ever since she began reading the Necronomicon and discovered that her lowered sanity couldn't be changed.

She smiled indifferently. If she could pass the level, it didn't matter how much her Sanity points decreased. She just wanted to know more things to help her pass the level, so her Sanity points didn't matter.

Tana looked at the black smoke. The originally shapeless black smoke actually became a shape in her eyes, and the Book of the Dead in Tana's mind was constantly turning pages until it stopped at the Count's diary.

The description in the book matched the existence in front of her, and Tana knew that the description was the monster in front of her.

Tana looked at the creature in front of her, her eyes sunken.

It was a transparent fish-like creature. It was black and was constantly swimming and floating in the air. It was transparent and beautiful, making people dizzy and wanting to be sucked in.

He is a sky fish creature.

In the Book of the Dead, it was said that as long as there is a world in which Cthulhu mythology exists, there must be three dimensional spaces, which are:

Yog-Sothoth's plane, His-dimensional space, and Dreamland. His-dimensional space is the home of the skyfish creatures. They are parallel to the human world. Humans cannot see them, and they cannot see humans.

The memories of the air fish creature flooded into Tana's mind and kept rolling, allowing Tana to gradually understand everything.

[Tana's SanCheck: 25/34. This Sanity check was successful. You need to pay more attention to your Sanity. san=34-1=33]
