Real Cthulhu Running Game

   Chapter 1278 Turner's Note

  For the sake of safety, Liu Xing felt that it would be better not to open the lock temporarily, so as to avoid some unnecessary troubles.

   So, Liu Xing refocused on the small wooden box.

   "Xiaofu, bring me that basin of water."

   Liu Xing took out the small wooden box from his pocket as he spoke.

   "What is this wooden box?"

   Looking at the curious Sakai Changzhi, Liu Xing said with a smile: "At this time, a small wooden box sent by a friend of mine said that it was very difficult to open it, so let me come..."

   Speaking of this, Liu Xing suddenly thought of one thing, that is, when he was shaking the small wooden box before, he found that the small wooden box should contain a small metal object, so there may be a key in it.

   At this time, Xiaofu Gu Chuan brought a touch of water, and Liu Xing threw the small wooden box into it without hesitation. As a result, the small wooden box sank directly to the bottom.

   "Accordingly, the wood for making boxes like this is air-dried, so the density of this small wooden box must be lower than that of water, so it should float." Tanaka Kiyoya said seriously.

   Liu Xing nodded, because he had roughly estimated the weight of this small wooden box before, and determined that its weight was not much different from that of an ordinary wooden box, so it is very abnormal for this small wooden box to sink to the bottom now.

   But what makes Liu Xing even more is that this small wooden box did not start to bubble as he thought.

   Is this a completely sealed wooden box?

   What is this operation?

   Liu Xing is getting more and more confused as to why Bai Shizhi gave him this kind of thing, is it just to prank himself?

   Thinking of this, Liu Xing planned to use the kitchen knife directly.

  As a result, just when Liu Xing was about to ask Yamamoto to come over with the kitchen knife from the tile factory opposite, Gu Chuan Xiaofu suddenly said in surprise: "The water level of this basin seems to be dropping!"

  The recovered Liu Xing took a closer look and found that the water level in the water basin in front of him was indeed dropping continuously!

   Obviously, it must be that small wooden box that is constantly absorbing water now.

   "Quick, go get some more pots of water."

   Liu Xing stared at the small wooden box and said, "I think this basin of water should not be enough for this small wooden box to drink."

  As Liu Xing said, although this small wooden box is a little slow to drink water, it can’t stand it and keeps drinking, so when the second basin of water is brought over, more than half of the first basin of water has gone down.

   However, the volume of this small wooden box has not changed at all, it still looks a little bigger.

   "What the **** is this? Even if this small wooden box contains a sponge, it can't absorb so much water, right?"

In the face of Tanaka Qingya's question, Liu Xing couldn't tell the reason for a while, because the Cthulhu running group game hall did not define this small wooden box as a prop, so Liu Xing did not know such a small wooden box. How did he "drink" so much water, but then again, Liu Xing couldn't help but think of the mythical creature under the Cross Lake.

   Could it be that there are materials from that mythical creature in the crafting materials of this small wooden box?

   That's right, Tetsuya Honda!

With a flash of inspiration, Liu Xing suddenly thought that he could also ask for help from an off-field audience, namely Tetsuya Honda, who started acting alone after arriving in Nagoya, because Tetsuya Honda, as a mythical creature who has lived for an unknown number of years, its knowledge reserve The amount must be very rich, so strange little wooden boxes like this may be very common in its eyes.

  So, Liu Xing instructed Xiaofu Guchuan to keep filling the small wooden box with water, and he went to the side to call Tetsuya Honda.

   Soon, Tetsu Honda answered the phone.

After listening to Liu Xing's description of the small wooden box, Honda Tetsu also said with a smile: "It's interesting, I didn't expect people to make boxes with water and wood, didn't I tell you to Liu Xing before, my ethnic group has always had Due to the lack of water, my clansmen have tried their best to make some containers that can store a lot of water. Of course, the common ones are underground cellars and bottles and jars; and this water wood was originally a material that we had high hopes for, because It can absorb far more water than its own volume, but in the end we gave it up after a lot of experimentation."

"The reason for giving up is very simple, that is, Shuimu is just a Pixiu, and in most cases, it can only get in and can't get in. Even if you break it, it will not release a drop of water, and the only thing I know so far is One way to make it spit out the water is to evaporate the water in it by roasting it, but this requires a lot of fuel, because it is not easy to boil so much water; but Then again, this water tree has another characteristic, that is, when it absorbs enough water, its volume will expand several times."

"Expanded several times? That means that the wooden box itself is made of expanded water and wood, and then shrinks it by evaporating water, so the original gaps will become almost non-existent due to the shrinking of water and wood? "

Tetsuya Honda on the other end of the phone smiled, nodded and said, "That's right, that's the truth, because Mizuki doesn't shrink in equal proportions, so those gaps disappear naturally; but I'm still curious now. One thing, that is, where did the water wood used in this box come from? Because of the strange characteristics of water wood, it was very unpopular. After all, water resources were still very important in that era, so many tribes chose to put the surrounding The Mizuki weeds and roots are removed, lest Mizuki compete with himself for water resources.”

   "Is there such a thing? It seems that Mizuki should have gone extinct many years ago, right?"

   Liu Xing followed Tetsuya Honda's meaning and said, "It seems that this wooden box should not have been made on earth."

   "Oh, Liu Xing, why did you say this? Could it be that this small wooden box was sent by an alien mythical creature?" Tetsuya Honda asked suspiciously.

   Liu Xing thought about it for a while, and briefly said about Mikageichi, and then briefly introduced Shiraishizhi who gave him this box.

"It seems that this small wooden box may have been brought back from aliens, because Shuimu's ability to adapt to the environment is still quite strong, and as long as there is a little water, it can support itself, but why did Liu Xing determine that this small wooden box is Yuyingyi let Shiraishizhi for you?"

Faced with Tetsuya Honda's question, Liu Xing said without thinking: "It's very simple, Mikageichi got the help of Nyarlathotep before returning to Earth, so he probably already knew that Xiaofu Guchuan would At this critical moment, I risked going back to Tokyo to see my father, so I arranged Shiraishizhi to do such a game, but I still don't understand why he did it, because if Mikageichi wanted to get revenge on me, he should It's not right to use such insidious means."

  As a strong man, Liu Xing felt that Mi Yingyi should have the pride of being a strong man.

"Okay, I think if this small wooden box was really sent by Mikage, then nine times out of ten it contains a challenge letter, asking you to go to a fight somewhere, and that small metal object is the entry point. The key to that place."

   Honda Tetsuya's voice just fell, and the call came to an abrupt end.

   Liu Xing looked at his mobile phone unexpectedly, and for a while he didn't know why Tetsuya Honda hung up his phone.

   "Is it because Tetsu Honda didn't pay the phone bill?"

   Liu Xing muttered to himself and redialed Tetsuya Honda, only to hear the prompt that the phone was turned off.

   It seems that Tetsuya Honda is not used to modern life.

   Liu Xing shook his head and returned to the table.

   At this time, the small wooden box has absorbed three basins of water.

   Looking at the curious expressions on Guchuan Xiaofu and others, Liu Xing briefly explained the situation of this small wooden box.

   "It turns out that this small wooden box is made of an extinct wood, no wonder it is so magical."

   Just as Tanaka Qingya sighed, the small wooden box that had been motionless in the water suddenly began to shake violently, and then suddenly changed from the size of a fist to the size of a football, and finally revealed a clear gap.

  So, in less than a minute, the small metal objects in this small wooden box appeared in front of Liu Xing. . . As Liu Xing thought before, this small wooden box contains a key, and the size of this key can also match the small lock on the table.

   Is this the key to that little lock?

   Liu Xing looked at the key and the small lock again, not knowing what to do for a while.

If the key really matches the lock, then the purpose of Shiraishi Shiba sending the key is debatable. At the same time, it can be confirmed that the key was brought back by Mikage, and Nyarlathotep may He also opened a small stove for him and predicted the future, so this key would fall into his hands under such suitable circumstances.

   If these preconditions are all established, then a new question arises in front of Liu Xing, that is why Mikageichi does this? Or do you just want to open the lock yourself?

   So what exactly is in this lock?

   But now, as an important figure in the Zetian family, Liu Xing will definitely not take the risk himself, so after making up his mind, he gave Guchuan Xiaofu a look and asked him to find someone to try to unlock the lock.

   I don't know if Gu Chuan Xiaofu understood Liu Xing's eyes, or not, but Guchuan Xiaofu volunteered to open the lock.

   Seeing this situation, Liu Xing didn't want to let other people try to open the lock, so he could only ask Gu Chuan Xiaofu to be careful, and then he watched worriedly from a distance.

   "click", the lock opened, and nothing happened.

   Are all your previous guesses wrong?

   "Huh? There seems to be a note in there."

  Gu Chuan Xiaofu turned back and asked, "How about we just break the lock right now?"

   Liu Xing didn't think about it for long this time, and nodded in agreement: "Yes, but be careful, try not to damage the note inside."

  Gu Chuan Xiaofu nodded, and then asked his subordinates to bring a small electric drill that was a bit like a dentist, and it didn't take long to open the lock. . . In a way, this also "opens" the lock.

   As Liu Xing had guessed before, the lock was a hollow lock made of iron, but what was hidden in the lock was not the liquid Liu Xing imagined, but a rolled note.

   When I saw this note, I don't know why, Liu Xing always felt that his heartbeat seemed to be a lot faster.

   Could this note be directed at you?

   Although he was a little reluctant to open this note in his heart, it was impossible to turn a blind eye until now, so Liu Xing could only grit his teeth, picked up the note and opened it.

   Then, Liu Xing saw three words at first sight - Turner!

This? !

   Liu Xing frowned and continued to read the rest of the note - the matter is not over yet, the outcome between us cannot be determined by a single module.

   Is this a note that Turner left for himself?

   Looking at the handwriting on the note, Liu Xing can basically be sure that this note was written by Turner, because Turner deliberately imitated his own handwriting. . . I don't know why, Liu Xing has no talent in writing, so even Liu Xing himself can only use one word to describe it - ugly.

   So the good-looking characters are the same, but the ugly characters are all kinds of strange, so Liu Xing has always felt that his ugly handwriting is very distinctive.

Of course, in this Cthulhu running group game hall, which has everything, Liu Xing can't rule out the possibility that other people imitate his handwriting, but from the current situation, it is only possible that the person who wrote this note is Turner, after all, not many people know the grudge between him and Turner.

   But why did this note from Turner appear in this lock?

   Looking at Liu Xing, whose brows were getting tighter and tighter, Guchuan Xiaofu and the others were curious about what was written on the note, but they did not dare to say anything because of Liu Xing's face.

   After more than ten minutes passed, Liu Xing's cell phone suddenly rang, which interrupted Liu Xing's contemplation.

   Was it from Turner?

   Liu Xing took a deep breath before picking up his mobile phone, only to find that the person calling him was Meteor Watanabe.

  Wait, why is Meteor Watanabe calling himself at this time? It stands to reason that even if there is something wrong, you should contact Koukawa Xiaofu directly, right?

   Could it be that after leaving the character card "Liu Xing", Turner secretly ran to the character card "Watanabe Meteor"? !

  Thinking of this, Liu Xing didn't know for a while whether he should answer the call, because Liu Xing's mood at this time was a bit like the phone call he made when he checked his college entrance examination results. . .

   But it was a blessing, not a disaster, it was a disaster, but Liu Xing finally chose to connect the phone.
