Real Cthulhu Running Game

   Chapter 1197 Jump back?

   Looking at Maeda who hesitated to speak, Liu Xing knew that the factory had other secrets.

   However, Liu Xing did not ask directly, but gave Hashimoto Satoshi a "you know" look.

Hashimoto Satoshi immediately understood what Liu Xing meant, and hurriedly said to Maeda: "Maeda, are you hiding something from us? Why did you suddenly stop talking? Don't you think of me as a brother anymore? ?"

Maeda glanced at Hashimoto Satoshi, then sighed and said: "How do you say this, if I tell you, you should be listening to a story, because I don't know that it was me and other people who were born at the time. The illusion, or all of this really happened; before I joined this factory, the factory actually gave employees a subsidy, so many people choose to drive to the factory by themselves, because it will be more convenient, However, because this travel subsidy is issued on a per-person basis, many people choose to carpool."

"So after I joined the company, I always commuted to get off work in the car of a senior named Goro. Of course, there were two passengers besides me, the two people next to me now; because every day, the people at the delivery station will Empty natural gas tanks are brought back to the factory, so the factory will arrange a few people to work overtime every day, and will not leave work until the empty tanks sent back from the distribution station are sorted and stored, so one day it was the four of us who worked overtime.”

"I still remember that it was an evening in summer. The four of us, our colleagues on night shift, and the factory manager who lived in the factory had dinner together. We were eating watermelon in the yard to cool off from the heat. This watermelon was given to us by the factory manager. After all, he said that he had already prepared the coffin book, and the rest of the money should be spent to enjoy life; as a result, a thunderstorm suddenly appeared not long after, and we hid in the nearest factory building, the result was Because of this sudden thunderstorm, the car at the delivery station was delayed by almost two hours, and the main reason for the delay was a serial car accident on the main road in Nagoya."

"The car accident caused a big traffic jam, and the thunderstorm didn't mean to stop, because the rain clouds stayed in the sky over Nagoya, so many people chose to go home directly, which led to the more and more traffic jams. It's getting worse and worse; so, after unloading all the empty cans, the person at the delivery station said hello and left, because he was worried that it would be the next day when he got home, so we packed up the empty cans After that, I immediately got in the car and prepared to go back to Nagoya.”

"That day, Goro's car was sent to a car repair shop because it needed maintenance, so he drove another car at home to pick us up. As a result, this car caused us to encounter a terrible thing— —Ghost hitting the wall! It was still pouring rain, and it was dark, so our field of vision was very poor, but there was only one road from the factory to the highway, so we didn’t worry about finding it at the beginning. There is only one road, after all.”

"As a result, we were really lost, or trapped on a road that would never get out. In short, we drove for half an hour without seeing the highway. ...so we panicked and didn't know what to do, but fortunately our mobile phones were still able to make calls, so we contacted the factory manager, because he has been here for decades, he You must know what's going on here."

"In the end, the suggestion given by the factory manager was to wait and leave after the rain stopped, so we had to wait patiently for more than ten minutes. The thunderstorm finally stopped, and we finally saw the original When we went to see the factory manager the next day, the factory manager told us that this had happened many times. As for the reason from a scientific point of view, it was because our vision was blocked and the surrounding It's a wasteland with no reference, so the car drove into the wasteland, and then went around and came back on the road."

"However, this scientific statement has no credibility for us at all, because Goro is also an old driver, and his sense of space has always been quite good, so it is unlikely that he will drive the car while driving. In the wasteland, not to mention that the wasteland near the factory has not been leveled, you can definitely feel the obvious bumps when driving up, but more importantly, the factory is brightly lit every night, so it will be very conspicuous even in heavy rain. As a result, we I haven't seen a factory either."

"So, the factory manager mentioned an unscientific explanation - the patron saint; the reason why the factory was located in such a place, in addition to taking into account the safety and cost factors, there is another important reason is the factory's The first-generation boss believed in the theory of Feng Shui. After he found a famous Feng Shui master, he chose to build a factory in this place, because the Feng Shui master saw that there was a patron saint here, and he could ensure that there would be no evil people. "

"However, this patron saint is a bit weird. It will only come out on the night of heavy rain, because the night of heavy rain is the most suitable time for wicked people to do things, so during this time period, if you drive it, you have never appeared before. In the car in the factory, then you are likely to be pulled into a never-ending road by the patron saint, but the patron saint will not leave you here forever, as long as the rain stops, he will let you go. "

"We accepted this statement from the factory manager, and we got a similar statement when we asked those old employees, and some old employees also experienced this kind of thing personally, but Goro, who was in charge of driving at that time, was still under too much mental pressure. , which led to frequent mistakes at work and chose to resign. Later, I heard that he simply moved to a city on Kyushu Island, and I don’t know what his current situation is.”

   After listening to Maeda's personal experience, Liu Xing knew that it might rain later.

   However, in Nagoya, which is close to the sea, it is normal to rain at night. After all, the water vapor from the ocean is too abundant. When it is cold at night, water droplets may form, and then it will rain.

   "Did anything else happen that night? Like seeing that guardian spirit?" Hashimoto continued to ask.

Maeda rolled his eyes and said speechlessly: "If anything else happened that night, you wouldn't be able to see me now, of course, I admit that the atmosphere at that time was still very scary, and I was ready to write a suicide note. But I was relieved when I found out that the phone could still talk normally; if it wasn't for the factory manager to give a positive answer, we might have to ask for help outside the venue... and it was precisely because of this incident Similar incidents to the next few times led to the decision of the factory manager to purchase several dedicated transport vehicles to ensure that we would not encounter similar incidents again, and it did."

   As soon as Maeda finished speaking, Liu Xing and others came to the place where they filled the air tank with natural gas.

As a representative of Party B who came to visit here, Hashimoto Satoshi took Liu Xing and sat on the side of the chair, "Although these devices are very safe, we laymen would cause trouble to Maeda and the others in the past. , so it's better for us to sit here and chat."

   Then, Satoshi Hashimoto said to Maeda: "Maeda, you have to work faster today, my brothers are still waiting for the natural gas to eat at the construction site."

Maeda glanced at his watch and said with a smile, "Don't worry, boss, I'll work for you, and make sure to fill these empty tanks with natural gas before 4:30, and it will definitely be in time for the meal time, so Let the two bosses play with their mobile phones for a while."

After   , Maeda directed his two younger brothers to start work, while Liu Xing and Hashimoto Satoshi chatted on the side.

"I have heard about this Patronus several times, and the content is basically similar to what Maeda and the others have experienced, and there have been no casualties, but there are still several people like Goro because of psychological stress. They chose to resign, but they did well after leaving this sad place, and everything has returned to normal."

   Hashimoto Satoshi looked at Liu Xing and couldn't help asking: "Mr. Meteor, do you really like to hear stories about this? I think you seem to be very interested."

Liu Xing thought about it and felt that there was no need to hide this matter, so he admitted it generously, "Yes, I have always liked this kind of story since I was a child, of course, the kind of story that is only published in magazines. I don't like it very much, because it's too fake and boring, so I still prefer this kind of real thing that happened, even if it just sounds more real."

   Hashimoto Satoshi nodded, and suddenly whispered: "Actually, I also know that mythical creatures are real."

   Hearing Hashimoto Satoshi say this, Liu Xing's eyes suddenly became a little wrong, and his hand unconsciously touched the pistol on his waist.

   Liu Xing doesn't think Hashimoto should know the existence of mythical creatures.

When Hashimoto saw that Liu Xing had such a big reaction, he quickly explained: "Mr. Meteor, don't get excited, in fact, I also heard about the existence of mythical creatures by accident, and when the power outage happened that day, I also happened to be Saw a ghoul-like creature running down the alley downstairs from my house."

Hashimoto Satoshi saw that Liu Xing still did not relax his vigilance, so he continued: "It's like this, once I invited Jeddah to an izakaya for a drink, but we just wanted to have two drinks and we met colleagues at a nearby construction site. So we got drunk, so we were sent to the company's lounge by those colleagues; in the end, the two of us probably woke up and went to the toilet because the amount of alcohol and the amount of alcohol we drank were similar. , but we were all dizzy at that time.”

"Maybe it's because no one has asked Jeddah to drink in all these years, so Jeddah, who was happy, pulled me to chat, and the content of the chat was about what happened when he was in the Zetian family, and he suddenly mentioned it. Mythical creature; when Jeddah came home from school one day, he saw the eldest lady watching a video secretly in the garden, and the content of the video was a ghoul and a deep diver fighting. Jeddah thought it was a special drama or a very real CG, so I watched a few episodes with the eldest lady."

"It didn't take long for Jeddah to discover that the eldest lady had borrowed the fighting styles and routines of ghouls and deep divers when she participated in an unruly fighting match, so Jeddah realized that something seemed amiss, so he Going to his adoptive father to ask about this matter, and his adoptive father still told the truth after thinking for a long time, because his adoptive father wanted Jida to better serve the Zetian family... It's a pity Although Jeddah is a genius in learning, his performance in various sports can be described as nothing."

"So, although Jeddah participated in the inner guard screening of the Zetian family with the help of his adoptive father, he was eliminated in the first round, but in the end it was because Jeddah's brain was good enough, so Jeddah was eliminated. Assigned to study the anatomy of certain mythical creatures to find out why these mythical creatures have great abilities and their possible weaknesses; after hearing these things, I instantly thought of this factory, because I once Saw a mythical creature in this factory!"

   Hashimoto's voice just fell, kp Broken Bridge stood up again and said: "Old rules, now I ask Liu Xing to decide whether to believe what Hashimoto said."

   Liu Xing looked at Satoshi Hashimoto with a sincere face, and for a while he didn't know whether he should believe him or not.

   After thinking for a moment, Liu Xing chose to temporarily believe in Satoshi Hashimoto.

Because from the current situation, Satoshi Hashimoto is either a smart speculator or an undercover agent of a public faction, and the former is more likely, because Satoshi Hashimoto has joined Sawada Construction for several years, and Before the Battle of Gongwu, the Zetian family was simply a little transparent, so it was unlikely that other families would send undercover agents to deal with the Zetian family.

   Of course, the possibility that Hashimoto Satoshi was "convinced" or "controlled" by the forces of some public faction after the Battle of Gongwu could not be ruled out now.

As for the reason given by Satoshi Hashimoto, in Liu Xing's opinion, there is still a certain degree of credibility, because after the contact just now, Liu Xing felt that Zetian Jida may really tell the truth after drinking and tell the secret in his heart. his only friend.

   More importantly, if Satoshi Hashimoto is really an undercover agent of the public faction, then he should not stand up and jump at this time, because it is difficult not to cause suspicion.
