Chapter 85: Plot Twists, an Integral Part of the Module

"Is it really that easy to break free?"

Of course not. As the ultimate BOSS of this module, the Earth-boring Demon Worm had something to say, urging all players to listen attentively.

Thus, Liu Xing, who was about to leave, suddenly heard an indescribable, incomprehensible sound. It was the voice of the Earth-boring Demon Worm, and Liu Xing realized he had lost control over his body again.The initial instance of this chapter being available happened at N0v3l.Bin.

Clearly, the Earth-boring Demon Worm had employed its mind control on the players, with exceptional effectiveness! Likewise, Tang Tai and others stood frozen, just like Liu Xing.

"Damn plot twists!"

Liu Xing cursed inwardly. Just when he was about to successfully escape, a plot twist forced him to enter the Earth Dragon Village.

"Hehe, you players lack a spirit of adventure," remarked the long-silent game master, Snail. "Fleeing at the sight of a minor monster? How dull. And to think you planned a group escape, this would deeply sadden the scenario's author, not to mention how it affects my performance as a game master."

Liu Xing raised an eyebrow, intrigued that in this Cthulhu Role-Playing Game Hall, there existed roles like the module author. He pondered whether the game master's monthly task was to tear up a certain number of cards and achieve a specific party wipe rate...

Thereupon, "Liu Xing" and his companions turned back to face the village chief of Earth Dragon Village.

"Liu Xing" took the lead, saying, "Chief, I've thought it over. Whether we return a day earlier or later doesn't matter. Tell us, what does Earth Dragon Village need help with? We volunteers are duty-bound to assist."

"Tang Tai" and others nodded in agreement, echoing Liu Xing's sentiment.

The village chief chuckled knowingly and explained, "You all are good people, willing to help our Earth Dragon Village. Our need is simple. We have a thousand-year-old sacrificial ritual. We had to halt it due to an earthquake recently, planning to resume tomorrow. We hope you volunteers can participate, offering your valuable suggestions to transform this ritual into a unique tourist attraction, drawing visitors nationwide."

Liu Xing understood the scenario's plot. The Earth Dragon Village sought to become a tourist destination, leveraging the Earth-boring Demon Worm sealing ritual gone wrong. The ritual's incompletion had led to the Demon Worm's release, causing the earthquake and controlling the villagers.

The promotion game's main quest was undoubtedly tied to this ritual. Liu Xing pondered whether to complete, disrupt, or escape during the ritual.

As Liu Xing contemplated, "Liu Xing" and his companions readily agreed to participate in the next day's ritual.

Thus, "Liu Xing" and his group formally entered the Earth Dragon Village under the chief's guidance.
