Real Cthulhu Running Game

   Chapter 869 How to choose

   "Uh, actually, when you agreed, the countdown to this side quest started." Kp Snail said gloatingly.

   "What?!" Yoon En said in shock, "You don't play like this, bro Kp, how can you force buy and sell this side quest?"

The kp snail laughed and said, "Haha, I'm just joking with you, I'm not the kind of kp (referring to the author) who is evil, thinking about how to hack the PC all day long, so this side quest You can give me an answer before 0:00 tomorrow at the latest, and you can freely choose whether to accept this side quest."

   Hearing what Kp Snail said, Liu Xing and others could not help but breathe a sigh of relief.

   After chatting with the old man for a few more times, Liu Xing and others sent the old man away.

After seeing him off, Yin En couldn't wait to say: "What do you think? Shall we help the old man find his grandson? Although the information about his grandson is a little less, it is still easy to find someone in this Internet age. Loosely, as long as he is not in the territory of the public faction, we can get a good deal for nothing."

   "But the problem is that this old man still has a group of enemies outside, so it's hard to guarantee that his enemies have already set their sights on the safe, and we may still be ambushed by then." Liu Xing said seriously.

   At this moment, the three of Zhang Jingxu just came back.

   And Zhang Jingxu also has an ancient book in his hand.

   Sure enough, this is also a wire-bound book. . . Although this is a bit unhistorical, it is very Cthulhu.

   But the focus right now is not on this book "Taiping Yaoshu", so after Yin En briefly introduced the side quest to Zhang Jingxu and the three, he applied for the time in the secret room.

"As kp just said, this is a high-risk and high-reward side quest. From this severe failure penalty, we can see how rich the rewards of this side quest will be, but as a time-limited quest, it is difficult. I don’t need to say more about how high it is.” Zhang Jingxu frowned and said, “From the current situation, the difficulty of this side quest is time, because when we officially start this side quest, it will only be about ten days. It's time, we need to find someone with very little information available in these ten days."

"And if nothing else, I suspect that this Liu Xuyu is very likely not an ordinary college graduate. He is likely to be engaged in a special occupation. It is difficult for us to track his whereabouts by normal means, because I used to I came across a similar mod. At that time, I needed to track an NPC's path of action to determine the whereabouts of something. As a result, the NPC was a hacker and hacked all the cameras along the way, so I and others People can only ask people all the way to find him."

Liu Xing nodded and said seriously: "This may indeed be the first difficulty we need to face. After all, after we find this Liu Xuyu, we can directly open the safe, and then even finish this side quest, so this It is impossible for us to find him so easily in the side quest; of course, this cannot be the only difficulty of this side quest, after all, this cannot be a simple task of tracing people, so after we find Liu Xuyu, we should carry out another one. Two battles, such as the old man's enemy... But then again, it seems that we haven't asked the old man's name and origin yet?"

   "Uh, it seems that I haven't asked this question yet." Yin En touched the back of his head a little embarrassedly.

Liu Xing sighed, shrugged and said: "Well, I'll go to Mette later to find out the origin of this old man, so as to help us make better choices, if he is just a small clique. Sect Master, then his enemy should not be too strong, and if his enemy happens to be a member of our martial arts faction, we will have one less worry."

  Because they have used the secret room time too many times in Heishishan Prison, the number of secret room time that Liu Xing and others can use now is not much, so the secret room time of Liu Xing and others has not been renewed and ended directly.

   After all, there is actually nothing to discuss about this matter, because Liu Xing and others feel that this side quest can be divided into two stages - the first is to find someone, and then it is to face possible snipers.

Although there may be some difficulties in finding someone, but now Liu Xing and others are standing behind the behemoth of the Wu family faction, so it should be no problem to use the power of the Wu family faction to find Liu Xuyu, at most it will cost an extra one or two. Days only. . . Although this time is still precious.

However, the only variable here is that Liu Xuyu is no longer in Tokushima County in Shikoku, but has gone to live in the territory of the public faction. Then Liu Xing and others will have to go deep into the enemy camp, and the second stage will become more difficult. .

   As for the second stage of this side quest, there are a lot of variables, first of all, how many enemies the old man has, how strong are those enemies, and whether those enemies are targeting the safe.

You must know that the reward of this side quest is the contents of the safe, so Liu Xing and others are very clear that the contents of the safe are absolutely valuable treasures, so the old man's enemy is probably already eyeing the safe. , but for some reason, those people did not dare to forcibly take it or open the safe by themselves, so they could only wait for the opportunity in secret.

   And Liu Xing is now going to Mette to determine the enemies that may be faced in this second stage, which is also an important factor for Liu Xing and others to decide whether to accept this side quest.

Fortunately, as a ghoul, Mette's health is very good, and she has recovered after only a few hours of sleep, so Liu Xing doesn't need to be like a celebrity with big ears with the same surname, standing outside the house and waiting for Mette to wake up. .

After listening to Liu Xing's remarks, Mette touched her chin and said, "I remember that the old man used a pseudonym when he entered the Black Rock Mountain Prison, and his experience seemed to be made up, so I was curious and asked for it. People went to investigate the old man's information and found that the old man's origin is really not small, his name is Jingyi Zhile."

   "He is from the Jingyi family?!" Liu Xing said in surprise.

Mete nodded and said, "Yes, he is the descendant of the Ii family during the Warring States Period. Because his family has been an important pillar of the Tokugawa shogunate for generations, the Ii family has always been a powerful family in the island country. I At that time, I really didn't think that the old man would be a direct descendant of the Jingyi family, but this is also the reason why the old man changed his name and forged his experience. After all, what he did has already brought shame to the family, so the Jingyi family did not want He became a stain on the family."

"Back to the topic, the reason why Jingyi Zhile left the family back then was because he refused the political marriage arranged by the family, and chose to marry a girl from ordinary background, and that girl was in a single-parent family, and her father died a long time ago. She suddenly disappeared because of her participation in a secret church, so the Jingyi family will definitely not recognize this girl, but Jingyi Naole is also a bad-tempered person, and since then she will never get along with the Jingyi family."

"Soon Jing Yi Zhile's wife became pregnant, because Jing Yi Zhile, who had lost family support at that time, was penniless, so the couple could only choose to leave the big city and return to their hometown. At this time, Jing Yi Zhile found He read the notes left by his father-in-law, who had never been masked, and it is precisely because of this that Jing Yi chose to abandon his wife and daughter shortly after the birth of his daughter, and joined the secret church where his father-in-law belonged."

"The name of the secret church is called the Supreme Divine Association, and it is impossible to verify what mythical creatures it believes in. After all, the secret church was only a small transparent person before Jing Yi Zhile became the leader, and the number of people may only be two. Thirty people; but this secret church began to develop rapidly after Jingyue Naole became the leader, and Jingyue Naole became a famous archmage in the island country at that time, of course, the most important thing is that Jingyue Naole was very ruthless!"

"At that time, the Supreme God Society was located in the northwest corner of the Hokkaido region. As a result, it didn't take long for Ii Naoraku to swept away other secret churches in the entire Hokkaido region, and they did not leave any survivors. Therefore, other secret churches in the island country organized to deal with this The unruly Jingyi Zhile, in the end Jingyi Zhile was of course invincible with both fists and four hands, and after being abolished most of his strength, he was sent to Heishishan Prison, and the Supreme God Society has since become the dust of history."

"But Liu Xing, you also know that the secret church in this island country can be said to be intertwined, so what Ii Naole has done in Hokkaido has set up many mortal enemies for him, and these mortal enemies will send people into Heishishan Prison to assassinate Ii almost every other day. Nao Raku, but the real purpose of these guys is to force Ii Nao Raku to hand over the key and password of that safe."

"After all, Nao Raku Ii has swept the secret churches in the entire Hokkaido region, so Nao Nao Ii's safe has stored a lot of treasures, even if it is called a treasure chest, so many secret churches want to get that safe. However, because Nao Raku Ii set a trap in that safe, as long as the safe is opened by abnormal means, the safe will vanish."

   After listening to Jing Yizhile's story, Liu Xing finally understood the cause and effect of this side quest.

Just when Liu Xing wanted to say goodbye, Mette suddenly said: "By the way, I heard that the reason why Ii Nao Le can be called a powerful magician in a short period of time is because the supreme **** will believe in it. The object is actually an unknown old ruler, Liu Xing, you also know that there are a large number of old rulers in our world, and some of them are not famous, but their strength is not bad. It is much worse than the old rulers we know well, so it is very likely that Ii Naoraku became the envoy of the old rulers to gain powerful power."

   Liu Xing frowned and asked, "Mette, do you mean, is the old ruler behind Jingyue still paying attention to him?"

Met nodded and said seriously: "Yes, when I was determined to be the person in charge of this brewing center, the above told me to open up to Jingyue. Not only did he directly appoint him to be an employee of the brewing center, but also I usually take more care of him. In the past, many people who came to trouble Jing Yi Naole were sent away by me. The most important thing is that I was stopped by the above when I started investigating Jing Yi Nao Le, so I have a reason. I suspect that the old ruler behind Ii Naole is still secretly taking care of him, so Liu Xing, you should think about it when you make a decision."

   "I understand." Liu Xing nodded hesitantly.

After returning to the cell, Liu Xing told Zhang Jingxu and the others about the situation of Jingyi Zhile, "If there is no accident, the safe that Jingyi Zhile placed in Tokushima County should have been targeted by many secret churches. , so we are likely to face attacks from multiple secret churches, but the most important thing is that this also involves an unknown Old One."

"This is very interesting. It stands to reason that if Ii Naoraku is really the envoy of an old ruler, then he should be able to leave the Black Rock Mountain Prison at any time, so he doesn't need to ask us to help with this, so I I think Jingyi Zhile is probably planning to use us as bait to attract the attention of other secret churches," Ding Kun guessed.

Zhang Wenbing on the side nodded and said, "It's possible that Jing Yi Zhile is ready to wipe out his enemies, because as long as we open the safe with Liu Xuyu, those who are hiding in the dark will jump out and **** the safe. When the time comes for them to lose both, Jing Yi Zhile can come out and clean up the mess in his spare time."

   "So, is Jing Yi Zhile going to send us and his grandson to die?" Yin En frowned.

Zhang Wenbing shrugged and said with a smile, "Since Jing Yizhile can abandon his wife and daughter who was just born, and he hasn't seen his family for decades, then I don't think Jingyi Zhile is too good. Maybe he values ​​his grandson so much, so I think that Jingyi Zhile most likely treats Liu Xuyu as a chess piece, and is also the kind of abandoned piece that can be used at any time in exchange for an advantage."

Ding Kun, who was on the side, nodded in agreement and said, "My opinion is the same as Zhang Wenbing. In all likelihood, Jing Yizhile wants to use us to lure snakes out of their holes, and in the end, he can reap the benefits by himself... So, Please make your own choices."

   Liu Xing and the others looked at each other and did not speak for a while.
