Real Cthulhu Running Game

   Chapter 1201 Golden Mead

   "Old factory manager? This..."

Zhang Jingxu pondered for a moment, and then said: "I understand what you mean, you think that the reason why the old factory manager left his family and hid in this small factory in the suburbs is because he has an uncontrolled super power. Is it possible to create a special space on a certain road on a rainy night, so that people who stray into this space are trapped?"

   "Yes, that's what I think."

Liu Xing said seriously: "Actually, we can extract several key information from that urban legend - rainy nights and roads are necessary conditions to open this urban legend, so when the rainy night ends, this urban legend will automatically close; In addition, this urban legend will not hurt anyone in essence, but it has high requirements on people's psychological endurance, which means that the mastermind behind this urban legend, whether it is a human being or a mythical creature, they are all There is no idea of ​​hurting people, and their ability to create this urban legend is uncontrollable, at least they can't choose to close it early."

"But the most important thing is that this urban legend is running around the suburbs of Nagoya, which shows that the mastermind behind the urban legend is afraid. He is afraid that if he keeps making urban legends in the same place, then some nearby The secret church or the big family may be eyeing him, so he will go to different places to release his abilities every time, so as not to let someone wait and catch him. After all, if this ability is used well, it is indeed It can work wonders at times.”

"And the reason why I suspect the old factory manager is mainly because of his previous strange operations, the most important of which is why he came to work in this natural gas tank plant? It stands to reason that he can find a better job. , so the only reason I can think of is that this natural gas tanker is located in the suburbs in the middle of the suburbs! If the old factory manager is really the maker of this urban legend, then this suburban factory is a good hiding place, as long as it rains on nights Just run to the road and unleash your abilities, basically you don’t need to worry about vehicles passing by, because it’s too remote.”

"However, with the continuous advancement of urbanization, and Nagoya becoming one of the three major urban circles in the island country, a large number of foreigners continue to pour into Nagoya, and Nagoya is also constantly merging with other surrounding cities. As a result, the natural gas tanking plant that was originally located in the outer suburbs has become a suburb, and the number of vehicles passing by is constantly increasing, so even if the old factory manager intends to release his ability on the road that seems to be unpassed, he will not. It is possible to predict whether someone will pass by before his ability ends, so urban legends appear like this."

   Having said that, Zhang Jingxu's cell phone suddenly rang.

"Uh, it seems that Liu Xing, you guessed right, this old factory manager is very likely to be from the guard family of Wushe's family, and he is also the younger brother of the contemporary head of the family; decades ago, the head of the guard family was fond of Tim Takako named him Konwei Liang, and this Konwei Liang had nothing special before he grew up. If you don't look at his family background, then this Konwei Liang is an ordinary person, but his My elder brother Konoe is really a rare genius, he graduated from college at the age of sixteen, and after refusing to go to school, he returned to the family to help his father with various things."

"Although having such a talented brother makes Konwei Liang feel a lot of pressure, the relationship between Konwei Liang and Konwei Zhen is still very good, because after Konwei Zhen showed his talent, he was placed high hopes by his family. After all, although the Guards at that time were nominally ranked first or second among the Five Cameras, in fact, the Guards had already declined. If there was no strong mainstay to turn the tide, then the guards were very likely. It will be the first family to fall out of the Wushe family, which is an unacceptable fact for the Konoe family who have always been accustomed to being the master."

"Therefore, Konoe has lived in a high-pressure environment since he was a child. Simply put, apart from sleeping and eating time every day, Konoe is either studying or on the way of learning. At the same time, this also leads to The relationship between his peers in the family and him is not good, or he doesn't want to have a relationship with Konoe at all. After all, wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it, and the crowd will destroy it. Therefore, except for Except for his younger brother Konwei Ryo, other peers basically greeted him when they saw him, and then ran away for a reason, so Konoe Zhen and Konwei Ryo have a very good relationship."

"But when Konoe really became the heir of the Konoe family, Ryo Konoe, who was still in college, suddenly disappeared. At that time, Ryo Konoe was studying at the University of Tokyo. At the same time, the old factory manager entered the factory that year. That year; of course, because Konoe is a sure thing to become the next-generation family owner, after all, all the direct line members of the Konoe family, even those who don’t like Konoe, voted in favor of it. So it's unlikely that Konoe was really worried about Konoe's coveting his position, so Konoe's sudden disappearance has become a mystery, and it's also a topic that Konoe's family is forbidden to bring up."

"However, in recent years, because the Konwei family has gradually recovered their vitality under the leadership of Konwei really, and has been able to stably rank third in the Wushe family, some of the Konwei family's wine bag and rice bag people have become Some of them are fluttering, and they like to go out to socialize with people from other families when they have nothing to do. Then after drinking a few words, they start running the train with their mouths full. Therefore, several members of the direct line of the Konwei family mentioned why Konwei Liang was in those days. The reason for his sudden disappearance is actually that someone wanted to make a black hand on the guards, and the guards' family will never recover!"

"In order to boost the morale of the Konoe family at that time, and also to announce to other families that the Konoe family would not fall so easily, so when it was confirmed that the Konoe family was the next head of the family, many families were invited. I came to a banquet, but at this banquet someone planned to poison Konwei Zhen, but the poisoned wine was drunk by Konwei Liang, because Konwei Liang and Konwei Zhen have a really good relationship, It's so good that Konwei Liang can grab the wine glass from his brother's hand at any time and drink it by himself. After all, Konoe is really under a lot of pressure, but the treatment is also very good."

"Therefore, there were three grades of wine at the banquet at that time, among which the lowest grade wine was definitely for those who were not considered high-class in the Konwei family, that is, family members other than the Wushe family, and then the mid-range wine. It is for ordinary members of the Wushe family. As for the high-end wine, only senior members of the Wushe family, such as the head of the family or the elders, can drink it. Of course, the guards who are the protagonists of the banquet can also drink it; therefore, only mid-range wine can be drunk. The wine's Ryo Konwei is very curious about the taste of the high-end wine in the hands of Zhen Wei, and Ryo Konwei will definitely not reject his younger brother."

"So, this cup of poisonous wine that was originally drunk by Konwei went down on Konwei Liang's stomach, and it didn't take long for Konwei Liang to feel that something was wrong, so he left the banquet ahead of time, and Konweizhen was in order to take care of him. His good brother also left the table temporarily. As a result, the poisoner mistakenly thought that his plan was only half-successful, so he could only start the last step of the plan - playing the flute! Yes, that glass of poisoned wine In fact, it is golden mead, because if the golden mead is poisoned, there is basically no solution, unless the formula of this cup of golden mead can be determined in a short period of time, and suitable detoxification materials can be found."

"Of course, whether or not the golden mead will poison people to death depends on each person, so Konwei Ryo was lucky not to have a direct dog leash, but the poisoner's repair knife came later - that The poisoner directly played the flute and summoned a Bayaki, and then sneaked into the room where Konoe Ryo was resting. He didn't even see if Konoe really carried the person to Byaki, and then let Bayaki take the bewildered. The confused Konoe Ryo went on an interstellar journey; although Konoe and several others saw this scene, they could not prevent the poisoner from escaping, after all, the poisoner was a ghoul."

"When Konoe Shin and Konoe Ryo's father learned about this, they must have been furious at the time, but he also knew that the Konoe family today may not be able to find the mastermind behind the poisoner, after all There are too many families participating in the banquet, and at the same time, there are also many families who do not have a good relationship with the Konwei family. Therefore, after discussing with several elders in the family, Konwei's real father decided to take this matter. For the time being, we can only carry out a secret investigation, and it turned out that this investigation has been going on for decades, but unfortunately we still haven’t found out which family the poisoner belonged to.”

"Of course, some people suspect that the guards have already figured out the ins and outs of the matter, but the family to which the poisoner belongs is likely to belong to the same Wushe family as the guards, so it's not easy for the guards to directly turn against this family. After all, the Wushe family actually comes from the same source, and they have been allies for thousands of years, so it can be said that one prosperous and one loss all lose... Of course, the five photographers must wish for each other to fall in the family sooner. Yes, after all, the five photographers share the same glory, and if there is one less person to share this glory, then the rest will definitely be able to share more."

"Fighting in the same room will definitely make people laugh, so if the Konwei family can't find conclusive evidence to prove that it is under the hands of a certain family, then the Konwei family can only suffer from this dumb loss, but from the recent years of the situation Judging from the fact, it is very likely that the one who actually attacked Konoe is Yijia! That's right, it is the owner of the current natural gas tanker factory - Yiichi is the one where I am, because in the past few years, the Konoe family It has been acquiring the assets of Yijia, and interrupted a lot of cooperation between the two parties, which has caused Yijia to be in the same decline as the Konwei family back then."

"As for Ryo Konoe, although 99% of people think that he has either died in outer space or is still on a planet light-years away, there is a gossip that Konoe Ryo actually returned to Konoe's house a long time ago, but at this time Konoe Ryo had some irreversible changes due to interstellar travel, so he could only hide in a certain other building of Konoe's house to survive; this is Konoe Liang's story, and if the old factory manager is really Konwei Liang, then a lot of things can make sense."

Before Liu Xing could speak, Jida Zetian, who was driving, said first: "Yeah, if the old factory manager is really Konwei Liang, then the sequelae of his return from the universe in those days is likely to be a passive skill acquired. ——As long as certain preconditions are met, an endless space can be released on the road; although this passive skill can be used as an almost invincible control skill if it is used well, the release conditions are still too harsh, and also I had to let it go, so Konwei Liang would choose to leave actively or passively."

"I think in addition to getting a passive skill, Ryo Konwei should have changed in some aspects, so Ryo Konwei took the initiative to choose to leave the Konwei family, because although the Konwei family was slightly declining at that time, but It's not even capable of arranging a small manor for Jianwei Liang alone, not to mention that Jianwei Liang really prevented this disaster for Jianwei, so Jianwei really will not allow others to force his younger brother to leave the family; So Jida, you have seen the old factory manager so many times, have you found anything special about him?" Liu Xing asked.

Ji Da frowned and thought for a long time before shaking his head and said, "Although I have been in contact with the old factory manager many times, I really haven't found anything special about the old factory manager. In my opinion, he is an ordinary old man. , I usually dress normally, and I didn't hide anything deliberately... Wait, Mr. Meteor, please call Hashimoto Satoshi again. I remember that he seemed to tell me some stories about the old factory manager before, but I forget about these stories that I am not very interested in, so I only remember that Hashimoto said that the old factory manager had very bad luck."

   Bad luck?

   Liu Xing raised his brows and immediately called Hashimoto Satoshi.

   Liu Xing would definitely not tell Hashimoto Satoshi about the Konwei family, so Liu Xing directly asked, "Is the luck of the old factory manager bad?"

"Yes, the luck of the old factory manager is indeed very bad. Every so often, the nib of the pen will be broken, or a few pieces of money will be lost, and the key will often be broken, so the old factory manager will break the nib of the pen. The office and bedroom have been replaced with fingerprint locks; however, the old factory manager's luck is not good, but the impact on him is not serious, but those who appeared near the old factory manager when he was bad luck, just There is a possibility that Chiyu will be affected."
