Real Cthulhu Running Game

"This is the ultimate magically modified version of the voice-activated safe."

Liu Xing tried to read out the eight-digit number on the note, and then heard a gentle "click" from the box in his hand, and then Liu Xing opened the box easily.

After opening it, the inside of the box didn't seem to have anything special, and the volume was not large. However, Liu Xing tried to touch the bottom of the box with his hands, and found that it was indeed a "hidden trick." Liu Xing went in directly. It took him half an arm to touch the bottom of the box.

It seems that this box can hold more things than Liu Xing imagined.

"Everyone should have discovered what's special about this box, right? Yes, this box can accommodate one cubic meter of items. The most important thing is that it can absorb the weight of the contents. So according to our previous testing, every If a hundred kilograms of items are placed in this box, the user will only feel the weight of ten to twenty kilograms, so this is very suitable for you to carry with you when going out and put it in your backpack as an extra material storage box. Or a carry-on safe.”

Shimadzu Nagano, who was standing in front, said seriously: "This box was designed by an Yishi friend of our Shimadzu family. Because the production is still very limited, you are actually the first batch of users to get this kind of box. , so if you have any feedback after using it, please contact our Shimadzu family in time to help us improve this box."

Sure enough, they are Yi people.

Liu Xing looked at the box in his hand. In fact, he thought of the Yisi people at the first time, because only Yisi people and Mi.Ge and other mythical creatures with black technology can make such boxes. If you ask mythical creatures such as deep divers and ghouls to make similar things, they will most likely choose to use a ring, bracelet or other decorations as the base, and then engrave corresponding magic circles or inscriptions to make them. It is converted into a space prop.

To put it simply, it is the difference between science fiction and fantasy.

Although Liu Xing still feels that a more fantasy space ring is more suitable for him, after all, it is cooler.

But then again, when did the Shimazu family get involved with the Yis people again?

During his recent trip to Kagoshima, Liu Xing did not hear from Shimazu Hiromichi what the relationship between the Shimadzu family and the Yi people was, and if the Shimazu family could really talk to the Yi people, , and could also ask the Yisi people to help them design this portable safe, then why didn't the Shimazu family at that time go to the Yisi people to "predict" and point out a clear path for themselves, so that they would not need to ask for foreign help.

Therefore, Liu Xing felt that there might be something wrong with the Yisi man Shimazu Nagano said.

Maybe, this Yithian doesn't exist?

Although this box seems to be full of black technology, if you think about it carefully, it is actually not too difficult to make. You only need to arrange a storage array inside the box, then add a blindfold on top, and then add a cover on the lid. A voice recognition device is prepared in the middle. This voice recognition device needs to control the connection array between the box and the lid.

Well, this is all Liu Xing's guess.

Liu Xing shook his head and decided to go to Zhang Jingxu and others after the meeting to ask about the specific situation of the box.

As a result, Liu Xing did not wait long, Momota Shenghito stood up and announced that the meeting was over, and everyone could take the boxes and go about their own business.

Then, Liu Xing thought that Shimazu Nagano or Shimazu Jodo would come to find his group, but they did not come, so he and his group could only go back to the tent to continue resting.

After returning to the tent, Yin En said to Liu Xing very thoughtfully: "Although this box looks very high-tech, it is actually still a magic prop, because I saw it when I was in Hybrier. I have seen something similar, that is, a wooden box that my cheap master often uses, which is filled with various experimental materials, but his box uses ordinary fingerprint unlocking, not this kind of voice unlocking."

Liu Xing raised his eyebrows and said, "Yin En, do you mean that this box was not made by Yi people?"

Yin En nodded and said affirmatively: "I think there is a 70% chance that this box was not made by the Yi people, because the Yi people are fully capable of using high technology to make such a box, but I It can be felt that this box is full of magical power, so this box does not look like something that a Yisi person would make; in addition, Shimazu Hiromichi and Shimazu Nakano have not mentioned this Yishi to us before. The existence of human beings, and according to the principles of dealing with the Yi people, it is basically impossible for them to have too much interaction with the Shimadzu family, let alone do things for the Shimadzu family in the name of the Shimadzu family."

"Yin En is right."

Zhang Wenbing on the side nodded and said: "As a race that can travel through time and space at any time, the Yis people basically will not be friends with people of other races, because being friends with them does not mean anything to the Yis people. The advantage, of course, is that if it is a special Yithian like King Tindaros or Tenar, it is another matter, but this kind of Yithi people have a strong purpose. They are not so much making friends. , it’s better to just say it’s a deal, so the Shimazu family won’t be stupid enough to exchange the chips they finally got for such a broken box.”

"So, are the Shimazu family trying to pull off a tiger's skin? Do they want to make others think that there is a Yisi person standing behind them? But with such a box, it seems that they can deceive everyone. This is a bit whimsical. Right?" Liu Xing said with a frown.

Alice took a sip of water, shook her head and said, "To be honest, I really don't understand what the Shimadzu family is doing now. Although the Yis people are on the earth, or on the earth after the emergence of humans, The activities are very covert, but there are many Yisi people who have contact with humans, so we still got a lot of information about the Yisi people here, and we also have a lot of understanding of the Yisi people, and there have even been some There is a precedent for humans and Yithians to become friends, so the Shimazu family only relies on this small box to attract their Yithian friends. This will make people feel more suspicious, and then after some simple investigations, or to After some research on this box, you will find that the Shimadzu family may be making friends out of thin air, so what is the Shimadzu family trying to do?"

"Could it be that Shimazu Nakano felt that there was a problem with the Shimazu family's status in the samurai faction, so he wanted to rely on this Yishi friend to regain his position? After all, having a Yishi friend in charge is equivalent to There is a prophet behind his family, and this prophet may be more important than our so-called top ten forces." Liu Xing touched his chin and said: "But the problem is that the story compiled by the Shimadzu family is really It’s a bit too fake, so I think Shimazu Nakano may have other ideas, after all, he hasn’t suffered from Alzheimer’s disease yet, and he hasn’t accidentally fallen on his head.”

Just as Liu Xing finished speaking, Yin En's cell phone suddenly rang.

Yin En took out his cell phone and looked at it, then looked at Liu Xing with a strange look, which made Liu Xing feel a little uneasy.

Then, Yin En said: "Yaon Sawada just got the news that Shimazu Nakano accidentally fell down when going down the stairs. As a result, he was unconscious due to a brain injury. He has now been sent to the hospital. The hospital is carrying out rescue operations, but the specific situation has not been released yet.”

At this time, the eyes of Zhang Jingxu and others also became strange.

Liu Xing quickly waved his hand, shook his head and said: "What are you looking at me for? This matter has nothing to do with me. I just made a joke casually, but this is not good news for our Wu family faction. Ah, after all, Shimazu Nakano is the face of our samurai faction and the most important external spokesperson. If he really falls into a long-term coma because of this, then the public faction will have an absolute advantage on the surface and win the support of most ordinary people. support."

Today's Gongwu War has not yet entered the stage of real swords and guns. Both the Gongjia and Wujia factions still maintain the final restraint. Therefore, in the eyes of ordinary people, the Gongwu War is a battle for votes between the two factions. Therefore, now Since the spokespersons promoted by the Wu family faction can no longer persist due to illness, they can only choose to support the public faction.

Although the public faction will not win without a fight, it can still gain a lot of benefits, such as gaining an absolute advantage in public opinion.

As a result, there are only two choices before the samurai faction. One is to spare no effort to conceal the fact that Shimazu Nakano is unconscious due to injury, or to introduce Shimazu Nakano's Shadow Dancer to stabilize the situation. , but the biggest problem with this choice is that the public faction is not a vegetarian, so the undercover agents arranged by the public faction in Osaka will definitely try their best to pass on important information like this, even if they all know that they are Doing so will result in certain death.

Therefore, Liu Xing can be sure that within an hour, the situation of Shimazu Nakano will be known to the public faction, and then the public faction will go all out to let everyone in the island country know the news, and then they will really exert their efforts. At that time, even if the martial arts faction really found a shadow dancer who looked exactly like Shimazu Nakano to come out to stand, I'm afraid it would be able to hide it for a while, but not forever.

After all, fake is fake.

Therefore, Liu Xing believes that the Wu family faction should make another choice - to strike first.

Now that the situation has begun to deteriorate, the Wu family faction can only cut the knot quickly, and the long-term pain will be worse than the short-term pain.

Therefore, the samurai faction is very likely to be preparing a press conference to announce that "Shimadzu Nakano accidentally fell and was injured because he was overtired from long hours of work", and then after playing this set of tragic cards , the samurai faction can take advantage of the situation and launch a second spokesperson to replace Shimazu Nakano.

Although the samurai faction will still be affected by Shimazu Nakano's sudden injury, the impact here is still within the acceptable range of the samurai faction, and if it can be determined that Shimazu Nakano's injury can be recovered in a short time, then The Wu family faction does not need to change its commander before the battle. It only needs to temporarily send one person to "take charge of the overall situation."

Of course, it would be great if a "miracle doctor" from the samurai faction could step forward and restore Shimazu Nakano to normal on the spot.

Just when Liu Xing was thinking about what choice the Wu family faction would make, there was a sudden noise outside the tent. It seemed that they all knew about Shimazu Nakano.

Because Liu Xing and his party were far away in Nagoya, they could only watch the changes in the tent and wait for further notice.

However, after calming down for a while, Liu Xing suddenly thought of a problem, that is, Shimadzu Nakano's sudden injury seemed a bit strange.

First of all, Shimazu Nakano is not an ordinary middle-aged and elderly person. His physical fitness is not much worse than that of young people like himself. Therefore, it is unlikely that Shimazu Nakano suddenly slipped and fell down the stairs, and also happened to fall on his head. , because according to Shimazu Nakano's physical condition, he should be able to subconsciously adjust his posture the moment he falls, and then land in a relatively safe way.

Never underestimate human instinct.

In addition, Shimazu Nakano is the most important figure in the samurai faction. He will definitely have bodyguards with him when he travels on a daily basis, and these bodyguards are not ordinary people, so Shimazu Nakano's feet are slippery. For a moment, those bodyguards would not stand idly by.

So, how did Shimazu Nakano get injured?

Or did Shimadzu Nakano get injured in the fall?

Liu Xing was also a little unsure for a while.

It was Yin En who was also unsure of his decision, so Yin En said the same thing as Liu Xing thought.

"Judging from the current situation, the possibility of Shimazu Nakano being injured is actually only about 20%, and the 20% is for the ultimate assassin who may be sent by the public faction. But if an assassin really attacks Shimazu Nakano, And if it succeeds, we should also be able to learn the relevant news, so I think Shimadzu Nakano is very likely not injured; but the question also arises, why did Shimadzu Nakano spread this false news to the outside world? You must know this false news The news is extremely harmful to us, and although it may be possible to deceive the public faction’s undercover agents lurking in Osaka, it does not affect the public faction’s use of the topic.”

When Zhang Jingxu said this, he shook his head and said: "More importantly, Sawada Yaon has not heard that this is fake news, so if this is really fake news, then the Wu family faction will really become a superficial alliance. Because this means that Shimazu Nakano either made his own decision completely, or he bypassed the Sawada family and discussed with other families to decide on this good show."
