chapter 116: the plain truth in the world of cthulhu rpg game, the significance of san (sanity) points is self-evident, while knowledge of the cthulhu mythos is a double-edged sword. from liu xing’s perspective, the importance of maintaining san points certainly outweighs the benefits of cthulhu mythos knowledge. given the current circumstances, liu xing felt that encountering a ghoul was almost a certainty. such an encounter would inevitably lead to a san check, and liu xing was not keen on succumbing to madness so soon, especially considering that beyond the ghouls of blood howl town, other mythical creatures roamed the sky floating island. thus, liu xing decided to feign ignorance while being fully aware, shaking his head with a resigned expression and saying, “well, how should i put it? i didn’t get a clear look at aughra, as my mind was a complete blank at that moment. all i remember now is that aughra was black.” “oh, i see. that’s really unfortunate,” ji wu sighed, his face etched with disappointment. however, ji wu understood that liu xing was deliberately vague, and he also knew why liu xing had chosen to respond this way. “i completely understand you. for an ordinary person, suddenly facing such supernatural events, it’s normal to be unable to accept them at first. you should take it easy; after all, we have already ended up in this eerie place, so let’s just make the best of it.” “thanks for your understanding, ji wu. i’m fine now,” liu xing said with a smile, nodding his head. after a brief chat with ji wu and ensuring their act was convincing, they both lay down to rest. ji wu, with his occupation as an occultist (which often led to perilous situations), chose the bed near the window, hoping to catch a glimpse of nyarlathotep. an hour later, luo cong entered the room and said, “liu xing, ji wu, the boss lady is back. she asked me to call you downstairs; she has something to discuss with you.” liu xing nodded, got up, and together with ji wu, went downstairs. there, they found silvia accompanied by a woman in her thirties, holding a dejected-looking xiao liu in her arms.ñøv€l--ß1n hosted the premiere release of this chapter. "indeed, miss silvia, you're right. when necessary, i'd do anything for that diamond," liu xing said after a moment of silence. his straightforward response surprised everyone, but ji wu and others silently agreed, sharing his sentiment. liu xing's candor was prompted by a message from kp luo luo: "silvia and second auntie are preparing a psychological evaluation on you." after receiving this, liu xing subtly glanced over, confirming silvia and second auntie's focused gaze on him. realizing they targeted him for being prominent in the morning's encounter, liu xing opted for honesty. confident in his ability to withstand their psychological tactics, he nonetheless chose not to risk confrontation. considering the circumstances, honesty seemed the best policy, as any success in deceiving them would only impose more restrictions on himself, like surrendering the diamond to others first. after weighing the pros and cons, liu xing decisively chose honesty. "ha, you all are honest, which i appreciate," second auntie chimed in. "even i'd make the same choice. here in sky floating island, those willing to sacrifice themselves for others are long gone." "second auntie is right. to prevent conflict over the diamond, i'll safeguard it. it's of no use to me, so there's no conflict of interest with your group," silvia earnestly concluded.
