Liu Xing suddenly felt a headache, feeling that he could no longer understand the plot of this module.

However, one thing Liu Xing can be certain of is that Miss Wang should be in an antagonistic relationship with Ithaqua, but Miss Wang should have at least one Ghoul behind her, or even more.

Liu Xing even suspects that Miss Wang herself might be a Ghoul.

Thinking about this, Liu Xing couldn’t help but look at Leon, with a hint of pity in his eyes.

"Alright, let’s plan for tonight’s operation. First, Chris and Jill will still be disguised as Subway security guards, but I will also arrange for two colleagues to disguise themselves as regular passengers to assist you. Chief House has also arranged for dozens of plainclothes police officers to be on standby at the subway stations, with one or two plainclothes officers getting off at each station, so we can basically ensure that there will be at least four police officers on the scene if we face a Ghoul attack."

"In addition, the military reinforcements will also be mobilizing at various subway stations, and they should be able to arrive at the scene within five minutes. So, Chris, if you encounter Ghouls, just try to delay them as much as possible, and Mr. Milhaus will arrive at the scene within ten minutes. As long as those five Ghouls don’t act together, they’ll be sitting ducks."

Liu Xing nodded, still curious and asked, "Besides Mr. Milhaus, do we have any other Wizard helpers?"

Wesker shook his head and said helplessly, "Currently, only Mr. Milhaus has chosen to help us capture those five Ghouls. As I’ve told you before, most Wizards are reclusive, and they will set up various magical formations in their own residences, so we can’t even contact them. Moreover, I know that about a third of the Wizards I’m aware of have made peace treaties with the Ghoul clan a long time ago, so they definitely won’t help us fight these Ghouls. Therefore, it’s really fortunate that we have Mr. Milhaus’ help in dealing with the Ghouls."

"Then, can Mr. Milhaus give us some amulets or something?" Leon asked expectantly.

Leon sighed and joked, "Then how about I go and adopt Mr. Milhaus as my granduncle?"

Leon’s witty remark made Liu Xing and the others laugh.

After having breakfast in the police station’s cafeteria, Liu Xing and the others returned to the coffee shop.

At this time, Chief House was chatting with a middle-aged man in military uniform, drinking beer. This middle-aged man should be the person in charge of the military side.

"I didn’t expect the military to send him to assist us. It seems our capture plan should be quite stable this time," Wesker said, somewhat surprised.

Liu Xing subconsciously searched Chris’ memory and found information about this middle-aged man. His name is Atlanta, and he is a war hero of the British Army.

Atlanta currently holds the rank of colonel, and has participated in many wars planned by the United States of America, with good performance and multiple battle achievements in each war. As a result, Atlanta has been deliberately portrayed as a war hero by the British government, and a mainstream film has even been made based on him, so he is quite well-known among the general public.

Jill suddenly said, "If I remember correctly, Atlanta once mentioned in an interview that when he was on a mission in the Middle East, he and his team members were forced to flee to a remote village after being attacked by local armed forces. The armed forces chasing them didn’t dare to enter that remote village, and after nightfall, a sentry on night watch was attacked by an unknown creature. When Atlanta went to rescue that sentry, he was scratched by that unknown creature, which is why he now has a terrible scar on his face."

Hearing Jill say this, Liu Xing immediately looked at Atlanta, and sure enough, there was a terrifying scar on Atlanta’s left cheek.

"I know about this incident. Atlanta said at the time that he was attacked by a wolf, but now it seems that Atlanta was actually attacked by a Ghoul, which is why he has been sent to assist us," Leon said seriously.

Wesker nodded and said, "That’s right, Atlanta did encounter a Ghoul attack that time. The remote village they hid in was abandoned due to the presence of Ghouls. But the Ghouls in that village were a bit strange, as if one of the villagers had turned into a Ghoul. That villager had once spent a night in a nearby ruin, and three days after returning to the village, he started to have a fever. Then, a Ghoul wiped out all the villagers, and the village gradually became abandoned. That Ghoul has been hiding in the abandoned village since then, for some unknown reason."

Liu Xing raised an eyebrow, because he had heard this story about the abandoned village in the Cthulhu Role-Playing Game Hall. At the time, Liu Xing was just bored and wanted to exchange information with other players in the Cthulhu Role-Playing Game Hall, and he happened to hear this story.

Of course, this is not the main point. The main point is that this story has triggered a special module, which can only be accessed by players in the Hound of Tindalos region. Players from other regions cannot trigger this special module.

In addition to the regional restriction, only players who know this story have the chance to trigger this special module. Regardless of where the players are or what they are doing, they will choose to go to this abandoned village to find a way to solve the nightmare, because of the nightmare they experience.

As for the content of the nightmare, it’s quite cliché - constantly dreaming of becoming one of the villagers of that abandoned village, and then being repeatedly killed by that Ghoul. The player’s character card will also be afflicted with the "nightmare-ridden" negative status, causing a significant decrease in various attributes and skills, especially inspiration and intelligence.

However, no matter which villager the player plays in the nightmare, the player will see a well in the center of the abandoned village, and that well is the key to breaking the nightmare.

At that time, when the player triggers this special module, they can choose to organize a small team to participate in this special module, or to be randomly matched with other players who have also triggered this special module.

The reason for these two choices is that when the module starts, all players will "spawn" in the town closest to the abandoned village at 12 o’clock noon, and when the time reaches 8 o’clock the next morning, the player playing the nightmare will no longer be able to sleep, and the negative status of "nightmare-ridden" on them will start to accumulate layers every day, and by the fifth day, the "nightmare-ridden" player must succeed at an extremely difficult Judgment in order to pass.

Then the player’s team can enter the abandoned village after preparing, and when the time reaches 10 o’clock in the evening, the Ghoul in the village will start to attack the players, and the players also need to go to the well in the center of the village before 12 o’clock midnight, and the player playing the nightmare will jump into the well involuntarily, while the players not playing the nightmare cannot jump into the well.

The most important thing is that when the player playing the nightmare jumps into the well, the abandoned village will be shrouded in a barrier, and the Ghoul will become enraged and will not die, so the players still in the village will have to face the constant pursuit of this Ghoul until the player who jumped into the well escapes the ruin.

That’s right, the well in the abandoned village is connected to the ruin that the Fool had once visited, and that ruin is full of all kinds of puzzles and mechanisms, and the player can choose two escape routes, but the simpler escape route must be completed by at least two players working together.

So this comes down to the player’s initial choice - whether to go with their new team members or to be randomly matched with a few strangers.

If they choose the former, the player’s team will be more convenient in the early stage of the module, but when the module enters the later stage, the player playing the nightmare can only take the relatively difficult solo escape route, and the lives of the other players will depend on the performance of this player.

If they choose the latter, then in the early stage, the players may miss some important clues and items, because these clues and items require the players to pass difficult Judgments to obtain, and in the cat-and-mouse game with the Ghoul before 12 o’clock midnight, the players with negative status will find it very difficult, but all players can jump into the well and choose the easier escape route to leave the ruin.

However, to date, no one has been able to complete this special module, because in this special module, the players are really too easy to be wiped out, after all, if the player with the negative status fails the Judgment once when escaping the ruin, they will die for sure, and even drag their teammates down.

In addition, if the player completes this special module, they will definitely obtain the "divine artifact" in the ruin, and then that ruin will be submerged in the yellow sand due to the loss of the "divine artifact", and the same is true for the ruins in other parallel worlds, so from this point of view, it is known that no player has been able to complete this module yet.

In the Cthulhu RPG Game, the risk and reward are proportional, so the players are all very curious about what this so-called "divine artifact" is.

Thinking about this, Liu Xing suddenly realized something, that he now knows this story, so he should have the opportunity to trigger this special module in the future.

Liu Xing started to panic a little.

Because after learning of the existence of this special module, Liu Xing decided to try his best not to trigger this special module, because Liu Xing doesn’t think he will be the protagonist of some novel who can complete this module without a 100% failure rate.

As a result, Liu Xing calculated and calculated, but he really didn’t expect that he would learn this story at this time.

Liu Xing couldn’t help but sigh, now he can only hope that his temporary character card won’t affect the other character cards.

At this moment, the sound of a mobile phone ringing interrupted Liu Xing’s contemplation.

Liu Xing quickly took out his mobile phone and found that it was a message from Dio, which simply said that Dio had found Ithaqua’s trace, and the specific content could be discussed when Liu Xing had time to call him.

It seems that Ithaqua has started to move.

Liu Xing took a deep breath and prepared himself to meet Ithaqua at any time.

One uneventful night.

Those five Ghouls still didn’t make any moves tonight, and Chief House started to suspect that the five Ghouls might have left the subway, but Milhaus said he could confirm that the five Ghouls were still hiding in the subway, and within the cordon set up by the London police.

So the cordon has to continue.

After returning home, Leon, as instructed by Wesker, found Miss Wang and told her about the situation of the Chinese mafia. Of course, even if Wesker hadn’t instructed Leon, Leon would definitely have actively told Miss Wang about these things, unless Wesker had given him a gag order.

And at this time, Liu Xing, after chatting with Jill for a while, made an excuse to go back to his room, because Liu Xing now really wants to know the current situation of Ithaqua.

Dio immediately answered Liu Xing’s call and went straight to the point: "After I returned to London, I had people track down Ithaqua’s whereabouts, and I received a call from a friend yesterday saying that Ithaqua had appeared in Chinatown, so I immediately went to check the situation, and I saw Ithaqua dining with the elders of the Green-Dragon Gang, and after the meal, Ithaqua met with two people, whose bodies I believe you have seen, Chris."

Liu Xing raised an eyebrow, not expecting that Dio had actually witnessed the entire process of Ithaqua secretly assassinating Miss Wang.

However, Liu Xing knew that this must be what Ithaqua wanted Dio to see, after all, with Ithaqua’s racial talents, if he didn’t want Dio to know something, Dio would never know.
