Real Cthulhu Running Game

Chapter 2358: There is a dark future and a bright future

Schiller stared at the blue fire ball in the sky, frowned and said: "I remember that meteorites usually have yellow tail flames, because they come from outside the sky, so when they enter the atmosphere, they will mix with the atmosphere. When friction occurs, it is ignited and emits a bright fire. As for the specific color of the flame, it depends on what elements the meteorite contains; although many elements will emit blue flames after being ignited, unless the meteorite It is completely composed of certain elements, otherwise it would not have been able to burn for such a long time and form such a stable-looking fireball."

 “So this thing is not a meteorite!”

Xu Bin on the side said with certainty: "From visual inspection, this blue fireball is an approximately circular shape with a radius of about one to two meters. In my opinion, it looks a bit like the shining light ball in the club. ...Uh, why am I still singing? In short, this thing is more like an old-fashioned artificial satellite, so combined with our previous guesses, this may be an artificial satellite left over from the previous civilization. After the design time limit has seriously expired Will it be destroyed automatically? I remember that if such artificial satellites are directly scrapped, they will not only become space junk, but also occupy some satellite orbits, so some artificial satellites will automatically enter the atmosphere to burn themselves up."

"But whose artificial satellite emits blue fire? Could it be that this artificial satellite specially added some liquefied natural gas to make it burn more fully? I remember that gas stoves generally emit blue fire, but artificial The carrying capacity of satellites is already very precious, how can it be wasted in a place like this?"

Yue Shao, who didn't know when he came, put his hands on his hips and said: "And the falling speed of this blue fireball is a bit slow. Logically speaking, if this is a normal meteorite or falling aircraft, this time is enough for it to disappear. In our field of vision, it has even fallen to the ground, but it is still slowly falling to the ground! So this can't really be some kind of Warcraft that competes with Star Color? For example, this is a blue fireball beast , or maybe it’s the Flame Meteor Beast?”

When Yue Shao said "Fire Meteor Beast", Liu Xing, who was in a daze on the side, was frightened. After all, his name was Liu Xing, so Liu Xing thought someone was calling his real name, which was a bit scary. , after all, the people who know their real names in this martial arts module are all teammates. They should not call their real names in public. Therefore, if an outsider calls their real names at this time, it would be a bit scary. You must know that except for some small habits, you are very different from your real self at this time.

However, when Liu Xing came back to his senses, he discovered that Yue Shao and others actually said "meteor" instead of "Liu Xing", so this blue fireball didn't look like a meteor, right?

too slow.

Liu Xing has seen several meteor showers in the real world, so this blue fireball doesn't look like a meteor.

As for meteorites, Liu Xing once wanted to be a meteorite hunter, because Liu Xing saw on the Internet that the price of meteorites is quite high, and it belongs to the kind of industry that does not open for three years and lasts for three years after opening. This is for This is a good career for Liu Xing, who is very lazy and eats well.

It’s a pity that Liu Xing also died in the middle of his career, because at that time Liu Xing had some PTSD after watching too many car accident warning videos, so Liu Xing didn’t even dare to take the driver’s license test at that time.

However, this experience also taught Liu Xing some random knowledge, such as how to judge where the blue fireball falling from the sky will probably land?

 Fortunately, it is not within the scope of Tianshui Town, otherwise the newly built Tianshui Town will have to repeat the same mistake and become a sea of ​​​​fire like before. After all, the entire Tianshui Town is a wooden structure, so it is easy to catch fire.

After Liu Xing thought for a moment, he said to Yue Shao and others: "Yue Shao, Xu Bin, Schiller, um, and Yang De, if you are okay now, then follow me to see this blue fireball. What the **** is that!”

Yue Shao nodded, pointed to the dagger at his waist and said: "When I saw this blue fireball, I knew that you, leader, would definitely take us to determine its true identity, so I had already prepared it. Weapons, ready to go at any time!”

Xu Bin on the side was not polite, directly picked up an ax and said: "Don't worry, Alliance Leader, my ax is already hungry and thirsty!"

As for Yang De and Schiller, they had saws and planes in their hands. These two woodworking tools were not suitable as weapons for self-defense.

So Liu Xing and others used local materials, picked up a few axes and hatchets used for carpentry, and also found a sickle for opening roads, and then rushed towards the location where the blue fireball fell. .

As for why Liu Xing did not notify Yu Lei and Gongzi Ying at this time, it was because Liu Xing believed that they had also seen the blue fireball, and they would definitely go to the landing point of the blue fireball like him.

As it turned out, Liu Xing's guess was not wrong. He and his group saw Yu Lei and Xia Fei before they had gone far, and Yu Lei stayed behind, while Xia Fei continued to use Qinggong and moved towards the distance.

 “A vision has come from heaven, but I don’t know if it is a good thing or not.”

Yu Lei frowned and said: "The reason why dozens of righteous soldiers rose up in an instant was because a red comet hit the imperial mausoleum of the previous dynasty. This was obviously an ominous sign! So this blue fireball may represent His Majesty... This is not good news. In this way, even if nothing serious happens to His Majesty, it will be rumored that he has been laid to rest!"

Hearing what Yu Lei said, Liu Xing and other players suddenly remembered that in ancient times, small stars that would fall from the sky, such as comets and meteorites, were all bad omens, because in ancient times, The emperor, civil servants and generals can all correspond to the stars in the sky, so when comets and meteorites appear, it means that the emperor or famous ministers may fall. That’s why comets were called broom stars in ancient times. Firstly, it’s because comets do look like broomsticks. Secondly, brooms are inherently associated with filth, so comets were known as broomsticks in the minds of ancient people. Being stamped with the ideological stamp of "unlucky".

As for meteorites and meteors, although the ancients also recognized that they were different from comets, their symbolic meaning was not very good, so they were also called ominous omens.

So even if this blue fireball is not a meteorite, it will be regarded as a meteor or meteorite by NPCs. After all, there is no concept of artificial satellite for NPCs, not to mention that for those who are interested, it must be a meteor even if it is not a meteor!

You must know that the new Dragon Emperor at this time is like Schrödinger's Hakimi. No one knows whether the new Dragon Emperor is dead or alive before seeing him in person. But when this blue fireball appears, the new Dragon Emperor will Probably sent it.

Liu Xing can now imagine that in ten days, jingles such as "As soon as the comet appears, the new Dragon Emperor dies" will spread throughout the entire New Dragon Empire. Even if the New Dragon Emperor stands up to refute the rumor, the effect may not be Great, unless the new Dragon Emperor comes on a nationwide tour to appease people's hearts at this time, the new Dragon Emperor will have to "die".

Since the New Dragon Emperor is gone, the new emperor must step forward to inherit the throne, so the princes can naturally claim that they are the candidates appointed by the New Dragon Emperor!

It seems that this blue fireball is the starting gun of this martial arts module, which means that the main plot is about to begin!

"This blue fireball is so conspicuous. I think everyone within a hundred miles can see it, so the information about the appearance of the blue fireball will be spread throughout the New Dragon Empire in less than ten days! Because Boyang City is also located in the central area of ​​the Xinlong Empire, so it only takes seven days for Feige to send a message to the most remote cities in the four directions. Therefore, many people think that no matter if a big event occurs there, it will take less than ten days. Time can deliver this news to any city."

Yu Lei shook his head and said: "There are already countless gossips about His Majesty, and most of the gossips believe that His Majesty is either seriously ill in bed, or has already traveled to the west. In short, this is not good news, so this blue Even if the fireball is His Majesty's reminder, some thoughtful people will definitely use it to make a fuss... But this is not important. What is important is whether it will affect His Highness the Third Prince! After all, this blue fireball appeared in the Third Prince. His Majesty’s territory, and this means that His Majesty may have passed away, so this rounding is equivalent to His Majesty the Third Prince having killed His Majesty, then His Majesty the Third Prince will become the public enemy of everyone!”

As soon as Yu Lei said this, Liu Xing and others who were in a hurry couldn't help but stop for a moment, because this was extremely bad news!

“In this way, the other princes around will become famous if they attack His Highness the Third Prince.”

Liu Xing took a breath and said: "If this is really the case, then the situation of His Highness the Third Prince may be even worse than before, because these princes are really famous, and they are still fighting for His Majesty! Even if the three princes are The prince has become the state shepherd at this time, and those people under his command can also use this to cause trouble. At that time, it will be considered a good thing to obey the instructions rather than listen to the announcement. I am afraid that these people may defect to other princes! But the problem is that we have no way to stop it. This happened because even as Brother Yu said, this blue fireball is so conspicuous that anyone who is not blind can see this blue fireball."

Yu Lei sighed again and said as he walked: "Yes, we certainly can't stop those people from sending the news of the blue fireball through flying pigeons, but we can look for the blue fireball after it lands. The traces left behind, it is best to find its wreckage, so that we can prove that it is not a comet or a meteorite, so that we can... Well, even if we really do it, those who are interested will also He will not stop his plans. After all, there is a saying that hearing is believing and seeing is believing, and most people don’t have the opportunity to see these things, so they can only rely on the news they hear to judge the truth. "

Yu Lei's words made Liu Xing and others feel the same, because even in the real world where the Internet is developed, it is just like "spreading rumors and refuting them will break your legs." After all, most people simply accept information. They do not screen and confirm the information, and then just pass on this information without knowing whether it is true or false. Moreover, some of them will not admit it even if they know they are wrong, but will be very angry. Tough talk.

　　“Well, now I can only do my best and obey the destiny.”

Yu Lei said very helplessly: "When I came back, I also said that His Highness the Third Prince had become the State Shepherd at this time. That was another bright spot, because this position of State Shepherd gave His Highness the Third Prince the opportunity to break up with other princes. It was a chance of my wrist, but I didn't expect that this unexpected turn of events caused His Highness the Third Prince to fall directly from the middle of the mountain to the foot of the mountain. No, he should have fallen into the pond at the foot of the mountain."

Looking at Yu Lei who was a little frustrated, Liu Xing didn't know what to say for a moment, because from Yu Lei's point of view, it was indeed an unsolvable situation. After all, the NPCs in this martial arts module still believed in metaphysics. Yes, so the third prince was indeed in a near-death situation at this time.

So the question is, where is the only way out?

 Blue fireball!

 A blessing in disguise!

There is an idiom that good fortune and misfortune depend on each other. In addition, Liu Xing also knows that with the basic routine of the Cthulhu Running Team game lobby, it is impossible to start a plot kill against a certain force at the beginning. After all, even if it is the strongest on paper, The weak third prince also has many players, so if this blue fireball really makes the third prince a target of public criticism, it will also bring a significant improvement in his strength.

So this blue fireball is definitely not a meteorite, but may be some kind of mechanical creation left behind by the previous civilization, such as an artificial satellite or something?

Of course, this may also be an injured monster. Yu Lei and others have tamed the monster when they rescued it. At that time, the third prince may transform into a martial arts version of Liu Xiu and directly summon the real monster. meteorites to deal a fatal blow to the enemy?

 So now is not the time to admit defeat!

Liu Xing knew that this was a good opportunity to improve Yu Lei's favorability, so he quickly said to Lei: "Brother Yu, you must not be discouraged at this time, because as you said, the current Third Prince But we have already experienced a dark and bright future, so maybe when we find the blue fireball, this matter will take another big turn! And since other princes are unkind to His Highness the Third Prince, then don’t blame His Highness the Third Prince for being unjust. !”
