Real Cthulhu Running Game

   Chapter 1303 Middle

  Different time points.

   This is a hassle, because players at different points in time have no way to exchange information. Of course, players at a previous point in time can leave information to players behind.

   However, the span of time is too big, right?

Judging from the current situation, the time point at which Ding Kun and Zhang Jingxu were located should have been ten years ago, and Zhang Wenbing and others, who have not been seen yet, do not know it was at that time point. Of course, the players who were at the previous time point It's also hard for them to think of a way to preserve important information without being aware of what's going on.

   But what puzzles Liu Xing the most now is how can the time span of this mod be so large? What could Zhang Jingxu and Ding Kun have done ten years ago?

   The confused Liu Xing sat on the ridge, and waited until all the water in his head had evaporated before deciding where he should go next - Kujing Village.

  If Yamashita Tatsumi didn't lie, Liu Xing should be able to catch up with the live broadcast of the "Shenyin" incident if he went to Kujing Village now, and he should be able to find more clues at that time.

  So, Liu Xing simply sorted out his clothes, and then went directly to Kujing Village, but this time Liu Xing did not meet Yamashita Tatsumi at the entrance of the village.

   On the way here, Liu Xing also thought about the meaning of the name Yamashita Tatsumi, because Liu Xing felt that the name did not sound ordinary, but the combination of the words "chen" and "si" was a bit strange.

In Liu Xing's view, his grandfather is a person with strong learning ability. After he was discharged from the army, he went to the medical school to study for three years and became a qualified doctor. During the time between the clinic and the sitting hall, he taught himself the traditional Chinese geography.

   Of course, this geography is not another geography, it is simply Feng Shui academic, so Liu Xing often played with his grandfather's compass as a compass when he was a child.

With the increase of age, Liu Xing also read his grandfather's geography notes out of curiosity. As a result, because the content was really beyond Liu Xing's ability to accept at that time, Liu Xing also put the heavenly and earthly branches, nine palaces and gossips in the end. Basic knowledge is memorized.

   So Liu Xing recalled carefully for a while before he remembered that "chen" and "si" both refer to the earthly branches, and they are ranked fifth and sixth respectively.

   This is a little weird.

   As we all know, the island country has always been influenced by the Chinese culture, so it is also very Chinese in the naming, and will place the expectations of parents and elders on the child in the name, or contain some special meaning.

  For example, Liu Xing's "star" is obtained by his grandfather, which means that he hopes that Liu Xing will shine like a star in the sky in the future. . . However, according to an unreliable source, Liu Xing's xin was originally three gold xins, because Liu Xing's grandfather calculated a hexagram based on Liu Xing's birth date and thought that Liu Xing was short of gold, so he used the word "Xin". To supplement it, but Liu Xing's parents felt that the word "Xin" was too cumbersome to write, so they finally changed it to "Xing".

Back to the topic, in general, if "chen" and "si" are used as names, it means that the person was born in the year of the dragon or the year of the snake, so it is unlikely to appear in a person's name at the same time. Unless Yamashita Tatsumi's mother started giving birth on the last day of the Year of the Dragon, and it didn't end until the first day of the Year of the Snake.

   There is such a possibility, but it is not very likely.

   Besides, this is the world of the Cthulhu running group game.

According to Liu Xing's previous guess, everyone in Kujing Village should have settled here with some kind of ulterior secret, so they are nothing more than members of a mysterious organization or secret church, so Yamashita Tatsumi's " Chensi" may be a code name.

  56?

   That's not quite right, there are twelve Earthly Branches in total, so this can't directly combine the 6 represented by Chen and the 5 represented by Si.

   But this is not important, anyway, the name itself is just a code name, and the code name of the code name is still a code name.

   Liu Xing walked into Kujing Village while thinking.

   Looking at Liu Xing, a stranger, an old man who was drying clothes at the entrance of the village came over and asked, "Young man, what's the matter with you coming to our Kujing Village? And what's the matter with you?"

Liu Xing smiled bitterly and said helplessly: "I slipped my foot when I came to Kujing Village, so I fell into the field; I am the representative of a construction company in Nagoya, because the municipal planning has decided to The area is divided into industrial areas, so I will come here on behalf of the company to discuss the demolition conditions with you."

   "What industrial zone?!"

  The old man's voice suddenly increased, "We will not relocate, because this is our home."

Liu Xing had already guessed that there would be such an event, so he said in a good voice: "Old man, I have already inquired about it before I came here. Your Kujing Village has only been relocated in recent years, so I also talk about it. There are not too many local complexes. This is why our company chose to come to your Kujing Village to talk about relocation. We hope that your Kujing Village can stand up and set an example for other surrounding villages. Of course, we will not treat you badly. Yours, the various compensation amounts will definitely give you the highest grade."

As soon as this statement came out, the expression of the old man became a little hesitant, but this scene made Liu Xing even more puzzled, because according to Liu Xing's thoughts when he came, the villagers at this time should continue to object without hesitation. .

   Are the secrets they need to keep transferable?

   And at this time, several people around came over. After hearing about Liu Xing's intention, these people's expressions were similar to that of the old man, and they all looked a little excited.

   "Well, you'd better go talk to our village chief about this topic. If the village chief agrees to the relocation, then we have no reason to refuse."

   A young man stood up, pointed to Tatsumi Yamashita's house and said, "I will take you to see the village chief now?"

   This is of course what Liu Xing wanted.

   So, Liu Xing saw Tatsumi Yamashita again, and Tatsumi Yamashita's daughter Yamashita Plum.

After Liu Xing spoke the prepared remarks again, Tatsumi Yamashita fell into silence, while Liu Xing walked out of the room with the excuse of "going out to smoke", and sat at Tatsumi Yamashita's door to rest. His eyes were on the tree next to him.

   But not long after, the villagers of Kujing Village who heard about the relocation all gathered over and started to ask Liu Xing the specific relocation method and compensation details. It seemed that they did not really want to stay in Kujing Village all the time.

   Therefore, Liu Xing was also a lion, saying that the compensation was higher, and he also suggested that if Kujing Village can cooperate with its own company to persuade other surrounding villages to relocate, then Kujing Village can also get an additional benefit fee.

Seeing the smiling Kujing villagers in front of him, Liu Xing knew that the fire was coming, and began to ask the villagers about the situation of other surrounding villages and the possible problems in these villages that could affect the relocation process. Star got quite a few useful clues.

   The first is the Goldfish Village that Liu Xing had been to before.

Goldfish Village is the richest village in this area, because this village existed a long time ago. Its predecessor was the property of a wealthy businessman in Nagoya. As a result, the wealthy businessman encountered various misfortunes in his later years, and he didn’t even have an heir. , So the wealthy businessman converted to Buddhism and exchanged his shop in Nagoya for incense money, and the land was directly given to his tenant farmers.

Therefore, the starting point of Jinyu Village is much higher than that of other surrounding villages. In addition, the "gold" fish that year gave Jinyu Village money and fame. At this time, Jinyu Village has become comparable to the city in terms of income. People are almost there,

   As for the person who may hinder the relocation in Jinyu Village, that is the old village chief.

In an ordinary small village like this, in the absence of special circumstances, the position of the village head is usually inherited from the father, so the old village head family can be regarded as holding the position of Jinyu Village village head for hundreds of years. The village attaches great importance to it, or the old village chief has regarded Jinyu Village as his own property, so if Jinyu Village is to be relocated, the old village chief will most likely be the first person to stand up against it. As opposed to digging up the roots of his home.

   If the old village chief does not agree, then the relocation of Jinyu Village will be difficult to discuss.

For this, Liu Xing remained skeptical, because the previous Liu Xing had also told the old village chief about his "identity and purpose", and the old village chief did not have much reaction. Of course, this is also possible. It is because he mentioned that the planning of the industrial zone has not been implemented.

   But it doesn't matter, because Liu Xing didn't really come to do the demolition.

In addition, the most interesting thing for Liu Xing is that the villagers of Kujing Village think that they have been ostracized by other surrounding villages since they moved here. Only the village chief of Jinyu Village has the ability to do so.

   When talking about this, Liu Xing also took advantage of the situation to ask the villagers of Kujing Village why they took root here.

   To Liu Xing's surprise, these villagers did not have any taboos about this matter, but said it very generously, and summed it up in four words - natural disasters and man-made disasters.

Originally, the villagers of Kujing Village lived in Wakayama County. As a result, after an earthquake, pollutants leaked from a nearby chemical plant, so the original land of Kujing Village was not suitable for production and life, so the villagers of Kujing Village moved here. .

   After knowing this, Liu Xing finally understood why there were souvenirs from Wakayama Prefecture in that backpack.

etc.

   Liu Xing's mind flashed, and suddenly wanted to understand a lot of things.

   First of all, the time point where I am now is not the last time point in this mod, because after that, someone will come here with the backpack and the things in the backpack, except for the lock.

  Because the lock and the note inside the lock were indeed left by himself.

Then, the person who made the world "dead" in the mirror was not himself, nor the previous Yin En, but other players at a later point in time, that is, Zhang Wenbing and others, because according to Sakai Changzhi, they dealt with it at that time. There are many people in that mirror.

Therefore, from the current situation, Liu Xing can basically determine that this module should have three time points, of which Zhang Jingxu and Ding Kun are at the earliest time point, while himself and Yin En are at the middle time point. As for Zhang Wenbing And Shi Zixuan, as well as Li Hanxing and Sun Huiwen are at the last point in time.

   So now the question is, where is the lock? How can I let Zhang Wenbing and others get this lock?

   And why did he leave such a note? At the same time the content of the note is Turner?

   Could Turner appear in this mod too?

   Seems like there is such a possibility.

  Because this world is not the real world, Turner in this world is strictly a tool man.

   So how will Turner, a tool man, appear?

   Liu Xing estimates that it is either related to the mirror or Sakai Masachi's father, and of course Turner may be related to both.

   Then this plot is very interesting.

   But now is not the time to be distracted, Liu Xing, who came back to his senses immediately, continued to inquire about the situation in other villages.

   Next is Nohara Village where Saburo Nohara is located.

As the name suggests, Nohara Village is a typical village dominated by a certain clan, and 80% of the people in Nohara Village are surnamed Nohara, while the remaining 20% ​​are women with foreign surnames who married into Nohara Village. .

This is also a strange point of Nohara Village. Those women who marry into Nohara Village do not need to change their surnames unless you strongly request it, and this is also the most puzzling part of other surrounding villages, but the village chief of Nohara Village never To explain this, just say that this is a rule handed down from the ancestors.

   The law of the ancestors is immutable.

   Therefore, the villagers of Kujing Village are very worried that Noyuan Village will be very conservative and are reluctant to leave this land. After all, Noyuan Village has taken root in this land as long as Goldfish Village.

However, people like Saburo Nohara really want to leave Nohara Village to live in Nagoya, because they have seen how convenient life in a big city is in Nagoya, and some are easier and more profitable than farming, so Kujing Village of the villagers suggested that Liu Xing used this to provoke conflicts between the younger generation and the older generation in Nohara Village.

Finally, there is a village called Craftsman Village. This village was originally established by a group of craftsmen. In the past, various furniture and tools were often made and sent to Nagoya for sale. However, with the continuous advancement of industrialization, the business of the Craftsman Village has become more and more. It was so bad that most of the craftsmen chose to leave, and then the nearby villagers occupied the magpie's nest, so the current artisan village and the old artisan village only have the same name.
