Real Cthulhu Running Game

"That's okay."

Liu Xing shrugged, shook his head and said: "This is a standard plot of a loving father and a filial son. I think the death of Taichi Hiramoto's sister may also have something to do with him."

"Yes, the reason why Taichi Hiramoto's sister became invisible is because Taichi Hiramoto dedicated himself to an ancient being. Based on Liu Xing's experience, I think this ancient being refers to that big tree. Well, although the big tree in Goldfish Village was chopped into pieces by lightning a long time ago, its roots should still be preserved, so this tree demon may have obtained Taichi Hirata with the help of the fish in the fish pond. connect."

Shi Zixuan touched his chin and analyzed: "But that being said, the actual situation may be somewhat different, because judging from some of the evidence we found, perhaps the person who reached an agreement with the tree demon was actually Taichi Hiramoto. His parents, and Taichi Hiramoto is a completely tragic figure from beginning to end."

"Oh, there is such a thing?"

Yin En said with some confusion: "I also had a relationship with Taichi Pingben. Judging from his face, I don't think Taichi Pingben is a bad person. Moreover, Taichi Pingben is also a good person in the eyes of other villagers in Goldfish Village. .”

"Yes, although Taichi Hiramoto was treated very harshly by his parents when he was a child, the old village chief of Goldfish Village and his friends all called him an optimist, and during my interactions with him, I also found that He doesn't have much ill will towards his parents," Zhang Jingxu agreed.

"From this point of view, it is possible that Taichi Hiramoto's parents are not good people. Perhaps they have regarded Taichi Hiramoto and their daughter as bargaining chips in exchange from the beginning."

Ding Kun shook his head and continued: "After hearing the story of Taichi Hiramoto, Zhang Jingxu and I realized that Taichi Hiramoto might be an important task for us to leave that strange world, so the two of us began to talk about it constantly. We got close to this Taira Hiramoto, but then we heard about the existence of Kujing Village, and then we felt that Kujing Village looked very problematic..."

“But we quickly gave up on the Kujing Village clue, because there was too little information about Kujing Village. Even the village chief of Jinyu Village only knew some basic information about Kujing Village, such as the village chief of Kujing Village. Who is it, and the unique customs and habits of Kujing Village - no villagers will leave Kujing Village unless absolutely necessary." Zhang Jingxu continued: "But we finally got some interesting clues, that is, the people in Kujing Village There is a foreigner named Lothric.”

"Huh? This is really interesting. How could a foreigner sneak into the rural areas of the island country at that time? Isn't this an artist who is planning to live in seclusion in the countryside?" Li Wenbing asked curiously.

Zhang Jingxu smiled, nodded and said: "Yes, this Losric is indeed an artist, and he is very good at realistic oil paintings. He was already a young painter with a small reputation internationally. As a result, within a few years, He had been stuck in the same place, and there was no obvious improvement in either his painting skills or his artistic conception, so Lothrik decided to find a village to live in seclusion and prepare to paint with the theme of the countryside; because at that time, the island country's economy was booming, and Lothrik was a People from across the sea, so they chose the island country as their destination.”

"The reason why Kujing Village was chosen is because Kujing Village is located near Nagoya, and there are ports nearby such as Atsuta Port that existed during the Warring States Period. So Lothric prepared a plan B for himself, which was to draw a painting about ancient trade. The oil painting at the port; however, there was someone behind Losric's joining Kujing Village, who was a big boss in Nagoya. He had bought Lothric's works before, so the relationship between the two parties was very good, and this big boss and Kujing Village The village chief at the time was also an old friend.”

"Wait a minute, isn't this Losric a fan of Mr. Ke?"

Liu Xing suddenly said: "What Mr. Ke likes most is to communicate with these young artists in his dreams, and facts have also proved that many new generation artists are actually loyal fans of Mr. Ke. Therefore, these artists like to collect styles. The reason why they are running around the world in name is because President Ke needs them to be his eyes to check the situation of other old rulers and ancient gods; this ancient house is not far from Mount Fuji, so this Lothric settled in Kujing Village, maybe Just want to try to take a gamble on Mount Fuji?”

"bingo."

Zhang Jingxu said with a smile: "Liu Xing, you guessed it right. This Lothrik is indeed related to Cthulhu. Because I checked the relevant reports of this Lothrik at that time and found that although this Lothrik is... Paint realistic oil paintings, but the themes of these paintings highlight two words - seafood! That's right, others who paint this type of realistic oil paintings either choose to paint people, or choose to paint flowers, fruits, etc. As a result, this Lothrik would draw octopus, crab, giant turtle, etc. The most important thing is that he also likes to change the color of these seafood."

"A big green octopus? Then this is indeed very Cthulhu-like."

Liu Xing took out his mobile phone and looked up the two keywords "Lothric" and "Painter" and found that Lothlik's most famous work was a big green octopus, although this big octopus looked like a real octopus. There is no difference, but Liu Xing can still see some shadows of Cthulhu in it.

However, according to the introduction on the encyclopedia, although Rosric became famous with this "Octopus" at a young age, and later painted several good oil paintings, his talent was soon exhausted and he was lost to everyone. . . Before that, Loslic claimed to live in seclusion to look for inspiration. As a result, after disappearing for three years, Loslic released several oil paintings. As a result, the evaluation of these oil paintings can be described as "make do", so Loslic Rick's whereabouts have been unknown since.

The last two paintings released by Losric - "Tree" and "Golden Fish" - both prove that Losric did go to Bitter Well Village to live in seclusion. Of course, he also went to Goldfish Village for the legend of Goldfish.

However, even if Liu Xing, who lacks artistic skills, takes a look at these two paintings, it can be seen that the level of these two paintings is very limited, because they are really a bit too realistic and have no aura at all. . . If Liu Xing were to describe it, these two paintings are like works copied one-to-one based on photos or real objects.

"Judging from these works of Lothric, it is indeed possible that he was influenced by Cthulhu. However, for some unknown reason, the relationship between Lothric and Cthulhu suddenly collapsed. This made Losric, who lost the bonus of Cthulhu, turned back into an ordinary person, or an ordinary oil painter. So the question is, how did this Lothric fall out with Cthulhu? Logically speaking As an ordinary person, Losric is not in a position to flip the table." Li Hanxing said while holding his cell phone.

"Perhaps he was disliked by Cthulhu? After all, Cthulhu will not raise idle people, so the fact that Losric went to live in seclusion in Bitter Well Village may have angered Cthulhu, so Cthulhu chose to abandon Los Rick.”

Yin En said with a smile: "Of course this kind of speculation is quite unreliable, so I think the more reliable answer is that Lothrik came to Bitter Well Village, and Bitter Well Village is not far from Mount Fuji, so Cthulhu is worried about bringing Lothrik, who had his own aura, would bring him trouble, such as attracting the attention of the ancient gods operating near Mount Fuji, so Cthulhu chose to abandon Lothrik."

“I agree with Yin En’s idea, because at that time Cthulhu should have already been thinking about how to let his clone escape from Mount Fuji, so Lothrik who came to Kujing Village on his own initiative could easily make him lose all his previous efforts; but this is actually still There is a possibility that Cthulhu is casting a wide net and then focusing on cultivating it, because judging from the way Losric acted, he did not realize at the time that the reason why he was able to draw the big green octopus was actually He was influenced by Cthulhu, so he regarded all of this as his own talent."

Liu Xing opened his mouth and analyzed: "But it is also possible that we have thought too much. Maybe Losric came to Kujing Village to inquire about the news about Mount Fuji, and after inquiring about the information, Cthulhu gave up; but then Now again, what did this Lothric do in Bitter Well Village?"

Zhang Jingxu stretched out a finger and said: "Just one sentence - idle, he wanders around Kujing Village every day, and sometimes goes to the next village, but he always takes his sketch with him when he goes out Ben; Lothrik quite likes children, so Lothrik has a good relationship with Taichi Hiramoto. They are the kind of people who can stop and chat for a few words when they meet, so Taichi Hiramoto will know something about Lothrik. For example, Lothric once had a bold idea."

"This bold idea is very simple, that is, to cut down the big tree in Kujing Village, and then personally make it into a giant wood sculpture that can be famous throughout the ages. However, this idea was persuaded by Taichi Hiramoto to go back, because Losric If he really dared to do this, no, it should be said that if Lothric dared to tell the village chief of Kujing Village his idea, then Lothric would be kicked out of the house and bid farewell to Kujing Village completely; it seems that Lothric He chose to settle for the next best thing and ended up just painting a picture."

Zhang Jingxu paused, then showed a mysterious smile and said: "But if you take a closer look at this oil painting called "Tree", you will find a strange place."

Hearing what Zhang Jingxu said, Liu Xingbian clicked on the oil painting named "Tree" again and looked at it carefully, but found nothing, because the painting seemed to be ordinary, but it was different from the previous one. The big tree in Liu Xing's impression was exactly the same.

But Zhang Jingxu said so, Liu Xing felt that Zhang Jingxu was not joking, so after thinking for a moment, Liu Xing decided to look at the painting from a different angle - rotating the phone.

As a result, when Liu Xing turned the phone over, he found a lobster hidden in the leaves of the big tree. Although the lobster looked a bit abstract, it could still be seen from some obvious features that it was a lobster.

"Here, is there a lobster monster in this big tree?"

Li Hanxing looked at Zhang Jingxu and said, "So Zhang Jingxu, this is the monster you met on the beach?"

Zhang Jingxu nodded and said affirmatively: "Yes, Brother Ding and I encountered this kind of lobster monster at that time, so we saw the specialness of this painting at the first time; but in this way, There is actually no dryad in Kujing Village, but a lobster that lives in a big tree."

"Then what is the origin of this lobster? In my impression, there is no mythical creature similar to this kind of lobster." Shi Zixuan looked at the phone and said: "But it's normal that I don't recognize it. After all, there are many people in this world. There are more mythical creatures than we imagine, but many mythical creatures have become history, and mythical creatures are unknown because their populations are too small and their activity areas have little intersection with us humans...etc. Wait, why do I feel like I’m talking about some wild animals?”

"Yes, I also feel that you, Shi Zixuan, are the host of a science and education program... But from a biological point of view, it is possible for marine creatures like lobsters to evolve into mythical creatures, because of the marine environment It’s more complicated than we imagined, not to mention that there is a race in the deep sea that particularly likes to study new creatures – the Ancient Ones, so I think this big lobster is most likely the latest work created by the Ancient Ones.”

Ding Kun said seriously: "The shell of this big lobster is very hard. Even the large-caliber pistol in my hand cannot break through the defense. And when it cuts me in two, I can feel it." It can be said to be effortless, because as the person involved, I didn't feel anything, and the world restarted directly; but it stands to reason that even if a person is cut in two, he will not die for a while, so I doubt this one The giant lobster's claws are poisonous."

"Wait a minute, why do I think Brother Ding, you are endorsing a certain legendary game? How come this big lobster is cut into pieces and poisoned with green poison when it comes into your mouth? If it goes on like this, it will probably be able to coil a dragon. Totally nailed..." Yin En couldn't help but complain.

Interrupted by Yin En, the treatment room was once again filled with a happy atmosphere.

"Okay, back to the topic, I also think that this big lobster is probably the latest work of the ancient one, because judging from the paper data of this big lobster, it should be able to surpass ordinary-level deep divers, and even elite-level ones. All the deep divers can touch it, so I think the ancient ones may have used these giant lobsters as their trump card to make a comeback."
