Real Cthulhu Running Game

Although the Void Ghost has long been criticized in the Cthulhu Running Group game hall and is jokingly called the worst mythical creature, Liu Xing and others know that the strength of the Void Ghost is not as strong as that of the Deep Diver and the Ghoul. Humanoid mythical creatures are almost the same, not to mention that this is the home ground of Konggui, so Liu Xing and others decisively chose not to entangle too much with Konggui and left this special passage directly.

Fortunately, the exit of the special passage was already in sight, so Liu Xing and others left the special passage without running two steps and came to Shimazu Nakano's ward.

Seeing Liu Xing and others hurriedly walking out of the special passage, Shimazu Nakano in the ward looked puzzled at first, and then quickly took down the long sword hanging in the air, and the special passage disappeared.

"Did you encounter Konggui?"

Shimazu Nakano said: "The special passage temporarily forms a temporary road in the gap between the real world and other worlds, so if there is a Sora ghost passing by here, it will be easily attracted. However, Under normal circumstances, empty ghosts cannot enter the special passage, because the wall of the special passage is actually a magic shield... So, did any of you touch this shield?"

Liu Xing, who came out last, touched the back of his head and said a little embarrassed: "Yes, I accidentally touched the shield, and the shield cracked a small hole. The nearby Konggui tried to come through this small hole. Attack me."

At this time, Yin En wanted to say something, but Liu Xing shook his head, saying that this was not necessary.

"I see, it seems that guy from Nagano didn't tell you the characteristics of this spell shield. In fact, this spell shield is very special, because 99% of its defense power is placed outside, and the remaining 100% is placed outside. Ninety-nine percent of one percent is placed under our feet, so the inner sides and top of this spell shield are very weak. Just a little force may cause the spell shield to be damaged from the inside; but in short "This is because that guy from Nagano didn't explain the situation clearly to you, which is why you were almost attacked by a hollow ghost, so I will arrange for that guy from Nagano to apologize to you later." Shimazu Nakano said with a sigh.

As Shimazu Nakano spoke, he brought the four Liu Xings to a table, where hot tea was already placed.

After everyone was seated, Shimazu Nakano said again: "I believe that boy from Nagano has told you everything about the current situation, right? But based on my understanding of him, he has most likely not told you about his My cousin actually has a very good relationship with him. The two of them grew up together. If that boy from Nagano hadn't had a strong talent for ninjutsu, and he was willing to become the chief ninja of our Shimazu family, otherwise he would have come here today. There will be two people who cause trouble for me."

Shimazu Nakano raised his tea cup and continued: "I'm sorry for asking you to come to the hospital to see me, a bad old man, so late. I'll apologize to you first."

Liu Xing and others quickly shook their heads and said "dare not".

This basic etiquette still needs to be maintained.

However, Liu Xing kept slandering in his heart. Shimazu Nakano was indeed an old fox. He immediately controlled the rhythm of the conversation. At the same time, Liu Xing suspected that Shimazu Nagano had not temporarily forgotten to remind him and his group about special matters. The situation of the passage was arranged by Shimazu Nakano from the beginning. After all, as the chief ninja of a family, Shimazu Nagano must not only be powerful, but also a thoughtful person.

As for why Shimazu Nakano arranged this, the reason is of course that Shimazu Nakano wanted to gain the initiative in the conversation from the beginning, because if his group passed through the special passage safely, then the junior would definitely be the first to speak. Yaon Sawada, and then after everyone in his group greeted Shimazu Nakano a few words, Yaon Sawada could get to the point, so that he and his group could take the initiative.

But now, although Shimazu Nakano wants to ask for help from his group, after these two or three sentences, Shimazu Nakano showed his seniority by "scolding" Shimazu Nagano, and he continued to use "This guy" and "this kid" are used to strengthen this point. In this way, Sawada Yaon, who is younger than Shimazu Nagano, is naturally lower than Shimazu Nakano, and it is not easy for Sawada Yaon to say anything about this. What, after all this is true.

Therefore, unless Sawada Yaon is ready to fall out with Shimazu Nakano, Sawada Yaon will have to be a junior in front of Shimadzu Nakano.

Thinking of this, Liu Xing glanced at Sawada Miyin and found that although Sawada Miyin was smiling at this time, it could be seen that there was a trace of depression in Sawada Miyin's eyes.

Sure enough, ginger is still spicy.

Maybe that empty ghost was arranged by Shimazu Nakano to act.

Liu Xing sighed in his heart, and could only hope that Shimazu Nakano wouldn't be so crazy that he wanted to go further. After all, Sawada Yaon is really not the kind of person who is willing to suffer losses.

"Mr. Nakano, can I ask you what your plans are now? If the situation permits, our Sawada family will definitely be able to help." Sawada Yaon said with a smile.

Shimazu Nakano nodded and said seriously: "My idea before was actually very simple, that is, I would announce that I was fine tomorrow, but I just couldn't catch my breath and fell into a coma for a moment, and then I would use the excuse of recovering from my injuries to Share your share of the 'cake', which should be able to stop some people's mouths. I believe they also know that it is not a good idea to kick our Shimadzu family out now; but Nagano is coming back to visit me. At that time, I mentioned that I met members of the Sawada family in Nagoya, so I thought of your friend Miss Sawada - Princess Taketori."

Currently Sawada Yaon claims that Taketori is her friend, so Taketori will always stay at Sawada's house.

"Mr. Nakano, do you mean to ask Taketori to heal your injury?" Sawada Yaon raised an eyebrow and said.

I have to say that Liu Xing thinks this is indeed a good idea, because Taketori is an ancient god after all, so it is normal for Taketori to be able to cure Shimazu Nakano, not to mention that the relationship between the Shimazu family and the Sawada family is already good. , it would be more normal if the bamboo was removed from the hand.

Shimazu Nakano smiled and nodded: "This is my idea. Let Princess Taketori heal my injury. This is the best and fastest way I can think of now, and this can also make Princess Taketori heal." His reputation has risen again. After all, in our world, it is not difficult to kill someone, but it is not easy to save others."

Sawada Yaon shook his head and said seriously: "That's true, but after this matter spreads, even if people from other forces will not doubt the authenticity of this matter, they will definitely bring the wounded with them. Come to Taketori for help. If Taketori cannot heal these wounded, then our Sawada family and your Shimazu family will be affected. By then, our two families will have a hard time in the samurai faction; besides that, In addition, I think Mr. Nakano, you actually misunderstood the priority of this incident, because others do not care whether your injury can be cured, but want to know how you were injured. After all, your Shimadzu family is now open to the outside world. The declared reason for the injury is really not convincing at all.”

Hearing what Yaon Sawada said, Shimazu Nakano couldn't help but fell into silence, while Liu Xing and others drank tea with their eyes and noses in mind, saying nothing.

Just as Sawada Yaon said, even if Shimazu Nakano stands up unscathed tomorrow and announces that he has been cured by the "great ancient god" Taketori, it won't be long before people from other forces will stand up and ask questions. How did Shimadzu Nakano get injured? Because no one believed that Shimadzu Nakano would fall and get injured in such an inexplicable way.

The most important thing is that the missing "Shimadzu family member" will also become a trump card in the hands of other forces. If Shimadzu Nakano cannot come up with a reason that can completely convince the public, then other forces will definitely use this "missing member" "Shimadzu family member", because even if Shimadzu Nakano has voluntarily given up part of the Shimadzu family's income, there will still be forces who want more.

After a long time, Shimazu Nakano said a little decadently: "I was too careless in this matter. I didn't expect that the public faction would send people to find my nephew abroad. In other words, I still believed too much that I had done before. Arrangements for my nephew...Originally, my nephew should have returned by plane before the Battle of Gongwu. However, although the matters he was responsible for were not important, it would be a pity to miss the time, so I gave He arranged several bodyguards and tried to hide his whereabouts. Unexpectedly, he was caught by the public faction. But I really didn't expect that the public faction would be so willing. They would rather give up the notebook to plot against me. .”

notes?

Liu Xing and others who were drinking tea in An Xin keenly caught the word "note", which made Liu Xing and others couldn't help but look at Shimazu Nakano.

Obviously, it is not difficult to hear something from Shimadzu Nakano's words - compared to using that member of the Shimadzu family to calculate against himself, the notebook is actually more important.

Of course, this is only for Shimazu Nakano.

But it also shows that the notebook should have some meaning.

Of course, the most important thing is that since Shimazu Nakano mentioned this notebook, then this notebook is very likely to be the reward that Shimadzu Nakano plans to give to his group. Otherwise, Shimadzu Nakano would have no need to mention this notebook at all. And emphasize the importance of this note.

Therefore, Sawada Yaon took advantage of the situation and said: "Oh, then I would like to ask Mr. Nakano, what is the origin of this notebook that makes it worthy of being so valued by you, Mr. Nakano?"

When Shimazu Nakano saw that Sawada Yaon was so wise, he didn't hold back anymore and took out a palm-sized notebook wrapped in black leather from his pocket. The style looked a bit like something from decades ago.

To be honest, this made Liu Xing and others a little disappointed, because Liu Xing and others thought that this notebook that Shimazu Nakano valued so much must have at least a few hundred years of history and be the work of a named person. It was left by a big shot, and the content recorded on it would not be a running account of "what I ate today" or "how much I lost playing cards yesterday."

"Well, I know that the appearance of this notebook doesn't look very good. It looks a bit like the kind of notebook that every stationery store has. Of course, this is indeed the kind of notebook sold in stationery stores, but the owner of this notebook Not ordinary, he is a doctoral student at Miskatonic University and has traveled to many places with his mentor. The most important thing is that his mentor studies mysticism," Shimazu Nakano said.

Hearing what Shimazu Nakano said, Liu Xing and others immediately became interested.

Although these are only the notes of a certain occult doctoral student at Miskatonic University, not those of his supervisor, considering Miskatonic University’s “excellent tradition” of organizing expeditions everywhere, I believe this doctoral student should He followed his mentor around a lot, so what he recorded in this notebook should be very interesting, because the content recorded in this kind of personal notebook will be more "explosive".

After all, in official reports, some "unreasonable" things will be automatically deleted.

"The owner of this notebook is named Eric, and his mentor is Professor Frank from Miskatonic University. Professor Frank was the most famous and outstanding occult professor at Miskatonic University at that time, because he I have participated in many expeditions organized by the school, and I have been able to escape unscathed every time. From time to time, I have made important discoveries. Unfortunately, three years ago, Professor Frank disappeared with Eric and several other students. However, they did not disappear during the expedition, but suddenly disappeared in Professor Frank’s laboratory.”

"Professor Frank's laboratory is in the northwest corner of Miskatonic University. In addition to a large library, there are also the laboratories of many professors of occultology, archeology and geology. It is just a laboratory, but in fact They are professional warehouses filled with all kinds of weird things brought back by the Miskatonic University expedition team over the years, so Eric’s notebook records a lot of interesting things; back to To get to the point, Professor Frank’s laboratory is located in the real corner of this area.”

"At that time, Professor Frank had just completed an expedition and brought back a lot of things that were 'very interesting' to him, so he immediately notified all his students to visit and study these things in his laboratory, and the result was Two weeks passed like this, and the parents of a student happened to be passing by Miskatonic University, so they wanted to come and see their son, but they couldn't contact their son."
