Real Game: I Exposed the Old Ones

Pistol or cane?

The results are obvious.

As a hardcore player with a natural phobia of insufficient firepower, Zhu Zheng would definitely give priority to pistols.

crutch?

Can it be eaten as a meal?

The mystery bag dissipated in mid-air.

The small and exquisite pistol, wrapped in seven colors of light, fell into Zhu Zheng's hand.

Seven colors of light?

It’s a five-star prop!

Zhu Zheng was delighted.

The pistol fell into his palm, and he saw the properties of the item as he wished.

[Congratulations on opening the mystery bag and obtaining the item ‘Tyrant’. 】

tyrant?

Zhu Zheng was surprised that this pistol that looked like a mini Xiuzhen had such a domineering name.

[Name: Tyrant. 】

[Explanation: An item carried by a legendary investigator, with powerful magic attached to it. He once used it to repel the Old Ones. 】

[Ability: Expulsion (cannot cause harm to ordinary people, but when facing mythical creatures or greater beings, they can be expelled from the world)]

[Frequency of use: 0/3 (limited to three times a day)]

[Level: five stars. 】

[Evaluation: Man, go back and forth from there! 】

He is worthy of the name of a tyrant.

Although Tyrant has no direct lethality, its unique expulsion effect can be very effective in many cases.

And this weapon is also effective against the Old Ones.

Put the Tyrant in your equipment slot.

Zhu Zheng checked it carefully again to make sure nothing was missing, and then chose to enter the game.

[Crossing the Gate of Silver Keys is loading. Warm reminder of the real game system, moderate entertainment, don't get addicted. 】

The familiar prompt sounded, and Zhu Zheng saw a lake in front of his eyes.

A new game begins.

I say again, sir, your interrogation will lead to nothing. You can keep us detained here if you need a victim to achieve the justice you imagine.

A somewhat childish voice sounded in my ears.

He seemed to be arguing fiercely with someone, and you could hear the anger and anxiety in his voice.

who is he?

Also, where am I?

Zhu Zheng held his forehead with his hands, trying to relieve his dizziness.

Perhaps it was a sequelae caused by the time-travel game. He felt a little confused, his vision was hazy, and everything he saw was a double image.

Thank God, you finally woke up. My friend, please come and explain to me. Mr. Harry's disappearance really has nothing to do with us.

The sound comes directly to the ear.

It has nothing to do with you? How did Harry Warren disappear? Stop telling me about scary monsters. This is Occam City, not the town you live in. There are not so many strange rumors.

A more authoritative voice appeared.

Zhu Zheng took a deep breath to suppress the nausea and dizziness.

He opened his eyes and found that he was being interrogated in a somewhat shabby interrogation room.

Sitting next to him was a young man who was a bit slender, with narrow shoulders, but a fairly clean appearance.

【Randolph Carter】

An idea emerged automatically.

Opposite them was a bearded, dark-skinned police officer, wearing a uniform unique to this era, staring at them with a sneer on his face.

[The interrogation... seems to be related to the disappearance of Harry Warren.]

Zhu Zheng glanced at the glass next to him.

The outline of Gu Hong's body was reflected on it.

【I have already entered the game.】

In a short period of time, three thoughts flashed through Zhu Zheng's mind.

He coughed slightly and looked like he was frowning in thought. He actually planned to get more information through the conversation between Carter and the police officer.

Seeing that his partner didn't speak, Carter defended again.

Through their conversation, Zhu Zheng sorted out the whole story.

Harry Warren.

Occam is a well-known mystic and stargazer in the local area. There are many mysterious and strange stories about him in this city.

Such as some of his strange discussions, his eccentricity in collecting obscure ancient books, and his obsessive research on so-called mythical creatures.

He was rich but lonely, and people always respected and feared him.

Until he met Carter and Gu Hong.

Three people who also have a fanatical pursuit of the occult become close partners and friends throughout the year.

The cause of the matter was last night.

Warren found records of the manor deep in the Big Cypress Swamp in an ancient book.

The owner of the manor is a master of occultism.

He kept many mythical creatures on his estate for experiments and research.

Later, the manor owner fell ill and died. His descendants buried the manor owner and then hurriedly moved out of the manor.

Since then, the manor has been completely deserted.

It is said that to this day, there are still unspeakable horrors lingering in the manor.

Out of his interest in the occult, Warren invited Carter and Guhong to explore the manor together.

They make their way deep into the Big Cypress Swamp, eventually arriving at the abandoned manor.

In the yard of the manor, Warren discovered a cemetery without tombstones. Several people worked together to pry open the covering stone slabs, only to see a bottomless cave.

Warren insisted on entering the tomb to explore, and asked Carter and Guhong to meet him above.

In addition, Warren also prepared a portable calling device to facilitate their communication.

But what happened next, Carter couldn't tell.

He only remembered that he and Gu Hong had passed out inexplicably, and it was already the next day when they woke up, and Warren had disappeared.

So Carter hurriedly called the police.

The police officer sneered, interrupting Carter's confession.

It just rained the day before yesterday. There are only traces of the three of you in the entire Big Cypress Swamp, and there are no tombs in the manor.

We have reason to suspect that you killed Mr. Harry Warren and hid him.

Carter quickly retorted.

If we killed Warren, why would we call the police?

The officer leaned back and assumed a more comfortable sitting position.

Then you have to ask yourselves. Besides, many people saw you entering the Big Cypress Swamp together that day.

The implication is that this was a self-directed and self-acted murder.

Carter clenched his fists, reluctant to fight the police officer.

Zhu Zheng quickly grabbed his companion.

At this time, Randolph Carter was still a somewhat dazed young man, and he still had a long way to go before becoming a legendary investigator in the future.

Lines of text popped up in front of Zhu Zheng's eyes.

【Through the Silver Key Gate. 】

[Background: There is a key closest to the truth in this world, through which one can transcend time and space, enter higher dimensions, and explore the truth of the universe. 】

[Main mission: resolve the regrets in Randolph Carter’s heart and help him open the door. 】
