Real Cthulhu Running Game

   Chapter 1240 Paradox

   Liu Xing thought for a while and said, "Then I will give the **** ghoul a word now and ask how long it plans to wait before entering this underground temple."

   "Then we must wait until we finish working on the mod of Battle of Gongwu before we can go to South America to help the Scarlet Ghoul deal with this matter..."

Before Zhang Jingxu's words were finished, Liu Xing remembered the task that Tanegashima Teruyi had released to him, so he said a little embarrassedly: "Then there is one thing I forgot to tell you in advance, that is, I am going to Shimadzu's house. When I controlled the power company, I met a core member of the Tanegashima family, or it could be said to be a strong contender for the next Tanegashima family owner, and he issued a special mission to me, although the specific content of the mission has not yet been clearly stated. , but it is not difficult to guess that this task is for us to help him become the new head of the Tanegashima family."

"Then go help him. After all, there are many friends and many ways. You must know that the Tanegashima family can be said to be one of the most important affiliated families of the Shimadzu family, so it is also a good choice for us to befriend the Tanegashima family, but Judging from the tone of your words, Liu Xing, this mission should not start until the end of the Battle of Gongwu, right?" Yin En said with a smile.

Liu Xing nodded, and first told everyone the current situation of the Tanegashima family, "To sum up, the current Tanegashima family is too real. If you ignore the relationship between the Tanegashima family and the Shimadzu family, then The Tanegashima family is just an ordinary family; but the skinny camel is bigger than a horse, and the Tanegashima family seems to have something, so my idea is to do this task, but the reason why this task was blocked by Cthulhu The running group game hall is characterized as a special task, and that is because it is really special."

"Simply put, in addition to getting this special quest from the relevant members of Tanegashima's family, you can also land on Tanegashima within a few days after the end of the Battle of Gongwu, and you can automatically receive this special quest. However, I'm not sure if there will be two different plot lines for these two different ways of receiving tasks. For example, players who receive tasks from relevant personnel will be directly involved in the whirlpool of homeowner competition, and they will automatically receive The players of the mission can only wait for an opportunity on the periphery."

   After listening to Liu Xing's description of this special mission, everyone present couldn't help but ponder, because the conditions for receiving this special mission are indeed very "interesting".

After a while, Ding Kun couldn't help but say: "The information given by this special mission is still too little, so I think if we want to participate in this special mission, we can use the advantage of the number of people to divide into two parts. , Liu Xing, you took Zhang Jingxu and Zhang Wenbing to find that Tanegashima Huiyi to receive the mission, while me and the others waited until the right time to land on Tanegashima, and this right time means that no other players will land on the island again. when."

   Liu Xing raised his brows and said in surprise: "Brother Ding, do you mean that you plan to take Yin En and the others to avoid the sight of other players, and then disguise as NPC to participate in this special mission?"

"That's right, I think the main reason why this special mission gives players two different ways to participate is that they want players to make trade-offs for themselves-do you want freedom or more information? Obviously, Liu After you enter Tanegashima, you will probably be invited to Tanegashima’s homeland immediately. At that time, you will have to stay in the eye of the storm to continue your mission because of the intensification of the dispute between the owners. Although the eyes are safe, if you dare to take one more step outside, you may be sent directly to the sky by the storm."

"And the eye of the storm is equivalent to a well, so although you who are located in the eye of the storm can directly participate in the battle of the patriarch and obtain all kinds of important information in the first time, you are still looking at the sky from the well and cannot see the whole picture; As for those of us players in the periphery, although we can only inquire about some gossip, but we can grasp the overall trend of the battle between the family owners. Yes, so we don't necessarily see what you see, but we must see more than you."

"In addition, Liu Xing, you also said that Tanegashima is a big family, and there are members in all parts of Tanegashima. At the same time, these different strongholds also undertake different tasks. For example, some strongholds only live in people. Some strongholds are factories or something, so Liu Xing, you should enter the Tanegashima family headquarters, and then you should not be able to get out, and we can't go to the headquarters, other strongholds should be free to come and go Yes, that's another big gap between us."

Speaking of which, Ding Kun pointed to Mosin Nagan next to him and said: "So I think if we really want to participate in this special mission, then the best option is to split our troops into two groups, and let those of us who are good at fighting be the ones who are good at fighting. Walking around the periphery, you can **** or kill some NPCs when necessary; and Liu Xing and you civilian workers are assisting that Tanegashima Teruyi at the headquarters, and provide us with relevant information by the way."

"I agree with Brother Ding, but do we really want to participate in this special mod? I think this special quest is like a Venus flytrap, and NPCs such as Tanegashima Teruichi are the scents it exudes, attracting us profit-seeking The player gets into it, and then it snaps its mouth shut again, and none of us can escape."

While talking, Li Hanxing gestured with the big mouth of the Venus flytrap with both hands, "When I was in the real world, I once participated in a malicious confrontation module. In short, there is a big family. The patriarch was suddenly critically ill, and his three sons all had their own advantages and disadvantages, so he could not choose who would succeed him as the patriarch, so he asked his three sons to find two partners. In the face of his problems, this is clearly a test of the three sons' ability to make friends."

"As a result, guess what, this competition is held in the hometown of this big family, which is a small village near the sea. This is the rhythm of the deep diver's appearance, so I and other players have kept an eye on it. As a result, there was no player at the beginning of the plot, and the reason for his disappearance was that he was attacked by the deep diver, so that the original 2v2v2 confrontation module was turned into a five-player cooperative survival module. As a result, our group was destroyed as expected, and the reason for the group's destruction was that the winner was not determined within the specified time."

   "Huh? In that case, this is actually a confrontation mod, and only the winning group of players can escape?"

Ding Kun touched his chin and said, "If I'm not mistaken, this big family is a group of deep-divers mixed-race, and the reason why the old master gave way is to return to the sea to live; as for why he asked his sons to find friends Helping to compete for the position of the head of the family, I think it should be the main reason why the deep diver hybrids stay on land, that is, they need to deal with humans, so it is very important for the sons to find good human friends."

"That's right, we unlucky players are just a bunch of tool people... So I suspect that the Tanegashima family may be trying to reorganize the family, so they contacted some secret churches behind the Shimadzu family's back, so it's bad. Some 'nomination papers'."

Having said this, Li Hanxing said with a smile: "I also know that there are some conspiracy theories when I say this, but we can't rule out the possibility that the Tanegashima family will go to the hospital for a sudden illness. Integrating the major forces of the island country, it is also promoting each force to rectify its own internals, because there are no major events that need everyone to join together in normal times, so some people who make up their money are not necessarily fishing every day. can be caught."

"Yeah, for the Shimadzu family, no matter what the outcome of the Battle of Gongwu is, they can use their incompetence as an excuse to terminate their affiliation with the Tanegashima family, so that they don't need to transfuse blood to the Tanegashima family. After all, the current Tanegashima family is of no help to the Shimadzu family at all, and they are just a drag."

Although he said so, Liu Xing still said with some hesitation: "But the reward given by this special task is not bad, and Tanegashima is in the rear of the Shimadzu family, so I think that unless the Tanegashima family is sure to turn against customers, Let the Shimadzu family be their vassals, or simply annex the Shimadzu family, otherwise the Tanegashima family should not dare to take care of themselves, after all, the Shimadzu family will only give up a Tanegashima family that is completely useless to them."

   As soon as Liu Xing said this, everyone present was silent again.

After a while, Zhang Jingxu shook his head and said: "Since this special mission has such a high degree of freedom, even if you accept the mission, you can quit without paying any price, so let's take a step by step, but Liu Xing, you I have to be a little busy, I have nothing to do with Tanegashima Teruichi."

no problem. "Liu Xing nodded and said:" Then let's talk about the Kamakura family, shall we? Now we have two points of intersection with the Kamakura family. One is the northern business hall of the Nagoya Electric Power Company, and the person in charge of the Kamakura family in this business hall is a former good classmate of Koukawa Koo; the other is more interesting. Now, the Kamakura family is doing something to an ordinary family for money. This seems to make sense. It may be a decision made by a marginal member for their own profit, but I think it may not be that simple. "

   "Is it because of the mirror in Sashang Village?"

As soon as Liu Xing finished speaking, Yin En continued: "The world in the mirror is not uncommon, but I have never heard of the dead mirror world, and according to Sakai Masachi, the reason why this mirror world will change The main reason for what it looks like now is because players have intervened; but as far as I know, even the first batch of players who enter the game hall of the Cthulhu running group, unless they encounter extremely rare crossing modules, or like us Dream mods like before, otherwise it would be impossible to go back to modding decades ago."

"That's right, the first batch of players who entered the game hall of the Cthulhu Running Group, the mods they participated in basically happened around 2,000 years ago. After all, there was a lot of rumors about the destruction of the world in the millennium at that time, so even if it was a In the real world, there were also many secret churches that took the opportunity to do things, but there were really no mods going forward." Zhang Jingxu rubbed his chin and frowned, "So kill the player in the mirror world in Sakai Business Village. , probably because of a travel mod going back decades, but I'm still curious how they let a mirror world die."

"Yeah, the world in the mirror is equivalent to a transfer station for a parallel world. Some powerful beings can complete the rapid transfer through the world in the mirror. From this, it can be seen that the world in the mirror is quite stable. After all, some old days dominate When they come to the real world, they can shatter the real space within a certain range... Of course, powerful mythical creatures like the Star Familia can also shatter time and space."

  Zhang Wenbing showed an expression of memory and continued: "I remember that Huaxia Daomen also tried to destroy the world in the mirror, but a lot of effort was wasted without success... So I suddenly suspected that the group of players was us."

   When Zhang Wenbing said this, Liu Xing and others were all shocked, because no one thought that Zhang Wenbing would say such a thing.

"Don't be too surprised, because I'm not talking nonsense." Zhang Wenbing shook his head and said seriously: "I believe that everyone, as old players in the Cthulhu running group game hall, should have discovered Kesu. When the Lupao Group game hall arranges modules for players, most of them will follow the standard of 'cause and effect', which means that the foreshadowing of the previous modules is likely to appear in the next module. The game hall of the Sulu Running Group is quite scientific at times."

"science?"

Looking at Liu Xing and the others who were still puzzled, Zhang Wenbing directly expressed his thoughts, "Well, it's a paradox rather than science, I believe you have all heard of your grandmother. Paradox - if a time traveler goes back to the past and kills his grandmother, then it stands to reason that he will not be able to be born in the future, so how can he kill his grandmother in the past if he can't be born?"

   "I see, Zhang Wenbing, you are planning to use paradox to deny the existence of the world in the mirror, and then the world in the mirror will be like a computer that is caught in an infinite loop, because it can't process the repeated data and directly crashes!"

   Liu Xing patted his thigh and suddenly realized: "The world in the mirror is indeed not completely dead, but stays at a point in time like a dead machine!"
