Real Cthulhu Running Game

Looking at Maeda who was hesitant to speak, Liu Xing knew that there were other secrets in this factory.

However, Liu Xing did not ask directly, but gave Hashimoto Satoshi a "you know" look.

Hashimoto Satoshi immediately understood what Liu Xing meant and quickly said to Maeda: "Maeda, are you hiding something from us? Why did you stop talking all of a sudden? Don't you think of me as a brother anymore? ?"

Maeda glanced at Hashimoto Satoshi, then sighed and said: "How do I put this matter? If I tell you, you should just think it is listening to a story, because I don't know that it was me and other people. The illusion is that all of this really happened; before I joined this factory, this factory actually issued travel subsidies to its employees, so many people would choose to drive to the factory by themselves because it was more convenient. However, because this travel subsidy is paid based on the number of people, many people choose to carpool.”

"So after I joined the job, I have been riding to and from get off work in the car of a senior named Wulang. Of course, besides me, there are two passengers, the two people around me now; because every day people at the delivery station will The empty natural gas tanks are brought back to the factory, so the factory arranges for several people to work overtime every day. They will not get off work until the empty tanks returned from the distribution station are sorted and stored. So one day it was the four of us’ turn to work overtime.”

"I still remember that it was an evening in the summer. The four of us, our colleagues on the night shift, and the director who lived in the factory had dinner together. We were eating watermelon in the yard to relieve the heat. This watermelon was also given to us by the director. After all, he said that he had prepared the coffin, and the remaining money should be spent to enjoy life. Not long after, a thunderstorm suddenly appeared, and we hid in the nearest factory. The result was Because of this sudden thunderstorm, the train at the distribution station was delayed by almost two hours, and the main reason for the delay was a series of car accidents on the main road in Nagoya."

"The car accident caused a huge traffic jam, and the thunderstorm showed no signs of stopping. Because the rain clouds stayed over Nagoya, many people chose to go home directly, which led to the traffic jam getting worse. It was getting worse; so, after the person at the distribution station unloaded all the empty cans, he said hello and left, because he was worried that it would be the next day when he got home, so we packed up the empty cans. After that, I immediately got in the car and prepared to go back to Nagoya."

"That day, Goro's car was sent to the repair shop because it needed maintenance, so he drove another car at home to pick us up. As a result, this car caused us to encounter a very terrible thing - —Ghost against the wall! It was still raining heavily at that time, and because it was dark, our field of vision was very poor. However, there was only one road from the factory to the highway, so we didn’t worry about not finding it at the beginning. Road, after all, there is only one road."

“As a result, we really got lost, or we were trapped on a road that we could never get out of. In short, we drove for half an hour without seeing the highway, which could have been walked in five minutes. .. So we were already panicking and didn’t know what to do, but luckily our mobile phones could still make calls, so we contacted the factory director, because he had been here for decades, and he He must know what’s going on here.”

"In the end, the suggestion given by the factory director was to wait until the rain stopped, so we could only wait patiently for more than ten minutes. The thunderstorm finally stopped, and we finally saw the original When we went to see the factory director the next day, he told us that this situation had happened many times. From a scientific point of view, the reason was because our vision was blocked and there were so many people around us. It was a wasteland with no reference, so the car drove into the wasteland without any reference, then went around in circles and came back to the road.”

"However, this scientific statement has no credibility for us at all, because Goro is also an experienced driver, and his sense of space has always been quite good, so it is unlikely that he will drive the car without driving. In the wasteland, not to mention that the wasteland near the factory has not been leveled, you can definitely feel the obvious bumps when driving up. But more importantly, the factory is brightly lit every night, so it will be very conspicuous even in heavy rain. As a result, we I haven’t seen a factory either.”

"So, the factory director mentioned an unscientific explanation - the patron saint; the reason why this factory was located in this place, in addition to taking into account safety factors and cost factors, there is another important reason: the factory's The first generation boss believed in the theory of Feng Shui. After he found a famous Feng Shui master, he chose to build the factory in this place because the Feng Shui master saw that there was a patron saint here who could ensure that no evil people would cause trouble. "

"But this patron saint is a bit weird. It only comes out at night when it rains heavily, because nights when it rains heavily are the most suitable time for evildoers to cause trouble. Therefore, during this time period, if you drive it and it has never appeared before, If you are a car in a factory, you will most likely be pulled into an endless road by the patron saint, but the patron saint will not keep you here forever. He will let you go as long as the rain stops. "

"We accepted the factory director's statement, and we got similar statements when we asked the old employees. Some old employees also experienced this kind of thing personally. However, Goro, who was in charge of driving at the time, still suffered from excessive mental stress. , which resulted in him often making mistakes at work and choosing to resign. Later I heard that he simply moved to a city on Kyushu Island, and I don’t know what his current situation is like.”

After hearing Maeda's personal experience, Liu Xing knew that it might rain soon.

However, in Nagoya, which is close to the sea, it is normal to rain at night. After all, the water vapor from the ocean is too abundant. When it gets cold at night, water droplets may form, followed by rainfall.

"Did anything else happen that night? For example, seeing the guardian spirit?" Hashimoto Satoshi continued to ask.

Maeda rolled his eyes and said speechlessly: "If something else had happened that night, you wouldn't be able to see me now. Of course, I admit that the atmosphere at that time was still very scary. I was ready to write a suicide note." , but I felt relieved when I found that the mobile phone could still make normal calls; if the factory director had not given a positive answer, we might have asked for help from the offsite... And it was precisely because of this incident Several other similar incidents that followed led the factory director to make up his mind to purchase several special transport vehicles to ensure that we would not encounter similar incidents again, and this was indeed the case.”

As soon as Maeda finished speaking, Liu Xing and others came to the place where the air tank was filled with natural gas.

As a representative of Party B who came here to visit, Satoshi Hashimoto led Liu Xing to sit on a chair aside, "Although these equipment are already very safe, we laymen used to cause trouble for Maeda and others. , so it’s better for us to sit here and chat.”

Then, Hashimoto Satoshi said to Maeda: "Maeda, you have to work more quickly today. My brothers are still waiting for the natural gas on the construction site to eat."

Maeda looked at his watch and said with a smile: "Don't worry, boss, I will work for you right now and make sure that all these empty tanks are filled with natural gas before half past four. I will definitely be able to catch up with the meal by then, so Let the two bosses play with their mobile phones for a while."

After saying that, Maeda directed his two younger brothers to start working, while Liu Xing and Hashimoto Satoshi chatted on the side.

"I have heard about this patron saint several times. The content is basically similar to what Maeda and the others experienced, and there were no casualties. However, there were still several people like Goro who suffered from psychological stress. They chose to resign, but they lived quite well after leaving this sad place, and everything has returned to normal."

Satoshi Hashimoto looked at Liu Xing and couldn't help but ask: "Mr. Ryusei, do you really like hearing stories about this? I think you seem to be quite interested."

Liu Xing thought about it and felt that there was no need to hide this matter, so he admitted it generously, "Yes, I have loved this kind of story since I was a child. Of course, the kind of story that is only published in magazines I don’t really like it because it’s too fake and boring, so I prefer things that really happened, even if they just sound more real.”

Hashimoto Satoshi nodded and suddenly whispered: "Actually, I also know that mythical creatures are real."

Hearing what Satoshi Hashimoto said, Liu Xing's eyes suddenly became a little strange, and his hand unconsciously touched the pistol at his waist.

Liu Xing doesn’t think Satoshi Hashimoto should know about the existence of mythical creatures.

When Satoshi Hashimoto saw that Liu Xing had such a big reaction, he quickly explained: "Mr. Meteor, don't get excited. In fact, I heard about the existence of mythical creatures by chance, and I happened to be there when there was a big power outage that day. I saw a ghoul-like creature walking in the alley below my house.”

Satoshi Hashimoto saw that Liu Xing still did not relax his vigilance, so he continued: "The thing is like this, once I invited Jida to a izakaya for a drink, but originally we just wanted to have a drink or two, so we met colleagues from a nearby construction site. So we got very drunk, so we were sent to the company's lounge by our colleagues. It turned out that we both had about the same amount of alcohol and drank about the same amount of wine, so we woke up one after another to go to the toilet. , but we were all dizzy at that time.”

"Maybe it's because no one has asked Jida to drink in these years, so Jida, who was happy after drinking, asked me to chat, and the content of the chat was about what happened to him when he was in the Sawada family, but he suddenly mentioned it Mythical creatures; when Jida came home from school one day, she saw the eldest daughter secretly watching a video in the garden, and the content of the video was a battle between a ghoul and a deep diver. Jida thought it was a tokusatsu drama, or very real CG, so she watched a few episodes with the eldest lady.”

"Not long after, Gilda discovered that the eldest lady had borrowed the fighting styles and routines of ghouls and deep divers when participating in an unruled fighting competition, so Gilda realized that something was wrong with the situation, so she He went to his adoptive father to ask about this matter, and his adoptive father told the truth after thinking for a long time, because his adoptive father wanted Jida to better serve the Sawada family... It's a pity. Although Jida is a genius in studies, his performance in various sports is unparalleled."

"So, although Jida participated in the internal guard selection of the Sawada family with the help of his adoptive father, and was directly eliminated in the first round, in the end, Jida's brain was good enough, so Jida was eliminated I was assigned to study the physical structure of certain mythical creatures in order to find out the reasons why these mythical creatures have powerful abilities and their possible weaknesses; after listening to these things, I immediately thought of this factory in my mind, because I once A mythical creature was seen in this factory!”

As soon as Hashimoto Satoshi finished speaking, kp Duanqiao stood up again and said: "As per the old rules, Liu Xing is now asked to decide whether to believe what Hashimoto Satoshi said."

Liu Xing looked at Satoshi Hashimoto with a sincere face, and for a moment he didn't know whether he should believe him or not.

After thinking for a moment, Liu Xing chose to believe Hashimoto Satoshi for the time being.

Because judging from the current situation, Hashimoto Satoshi is either a smart speculator or an undercover agent of the public faction, and the possibility of the former is higher, because Hashimoto Satoshi has joined Sawada Construction for several years, and Before the Gongwu War, the Zetian family was basically a little transparent, so it was unlikely that other families would send undercover agents to deal with the Zetian family.

Of course, we cannot rule out the possibility that Hashimoto Satoshi was "persuaded" or "controlled" by certain public factions after the beginning of the public war.

As for the reason given by Satoshi Hashimoto, Liu Xing still thinks it has a certain degree of credibility, because after the recent contact, Liu Xing felt that it was really possible that Sawada Yoshida would tell the truth after drinking and tell his innermost secrets. His only friend.

More importantly, if Hashimoto Satoshi is really an undercover agent of the public faction, then he should not stand up and rebel at this time, because it is difficult not to make people suspicious.
