Real Cthulhu Running Game

"Yes, if I were Gu Muming, I would want to take all the benefits now. However, the mysterious organization's single-handed attack has also made Gu Muming a little cautious. He is worried that his opponent still has some trump cards that will cause him heavy losses."

Liu Xing touched his chin and said with a smile: "So Gu Muming now needs cannon fodder to find the way for him. As long as nothing happens, as a demigod, he will definitely be the first to get the genius treasure. Human, after all, its ability is somewhat similar to that of Tetsuya Honda, in that it can achieve the effect of retrieving objects from a distance by extending its roots."

"But we have no choice. Although we humans have good combat effectiveness when we unite, we lag behind Hyakki Island in quantity and quality. But more importantly, Hyakki Island and us are still in a hostile relationship, so we If we don’t cooperate with Hyakki Island, then Hyakki Island will not be lenient when dealing with us, so if we don’t cooperate with Hyakki Island, then there is a possibility of having a terrible enemy like Hyakki Island.” Tanegashima Teruyuki said with a sigh.

This is a problem.

Judging from the current situation, the strongest force on the surface should be Hyakki Island. Of course, that mysterious organization may also be hiding, but what is certain is that Liu Xing and his party have almost no chance of winning when facing Hyakki Island. Just one Gu Muming can send Liu Xing and others away.

Therefore, Shimazu Hiromichi and others finally accepted Furumu Mei's suggestion and temporarily formed a shaky alliance.

"Then let's set off now. First, we will go to your Tanegashima family's arsenal to see if there are any weapons we can find. You must know that the half-ghosts under my command can only use wooden sticks from local materials, so now we have to Fight the autumn wind from your Tanegashima home and use it with an iron rod to deal with our common enemy."

As Gu Muming spoke, he stood up. At this time, Liu Xing and others discovered that although Gu Muming looked like a withered and thin old man when he was sitting, he now became a taller man when he stood up. A big man over three meters tall.

"By the way, Otomo-kun, you haven't dealt with that golem yet, right?" Gu Muming asked.

Otomo Shitaka nodded and replied: "Yes, we were worried that there were other enemies around, so we left after defeating the golem."

"That's good, I'll go over now to see if that golem is still worth using."

After saying that, Gu Muming straightened up his figure again and turned into a giant more than ten meters tall. He stretched out his legs and crossed the wall of the small courtyard and walked towards the forest.

"It seems that we should not pursue that genius treasure, because together we cannot defeat the Lord of Kuchiki, let alone a group of half-ghosts and other mythical creatures under his command." Abe Qingning shook his head and said: " I had also contacted Yin Yangliao before and asked them to send a few more people to defend around Tanegashima, but Yin Yangliao chose to refuse because Yin Yangliao had already reached a deal with Hyakki Island and would not embarrass the Lord of Kuchiki."

"Huh? Aren't your Yin Yang Liao and Hyakki Island sworn enemies? Why are you cooperating now?" Otomo Shitaka couldn't help but ask.

Abe Qingning shook his head and said with a wry smile: "That's true, but the prerequisite is that our Onnyangliao and Hyakki Island are evenly matched, so that we can be said to be your life-and-death enemy. After all, you will care about an ant treating you as an enemy. Enemy? Although our Yin Yang Lao has a good reputation, the actual situation is not good. To put it simply, each generation is not as good as the last. In recent decades, there has not been a true genius. Therefore, today’s Yin Yang Lao not only has a small number of people , the overall strength is not as good as before, so we didn’t take sides in the battle between public and military forces."

"The main reason is that several famous Onmyoji families are declining, so there are fewer and fewer Onmyojis being trained. After all, Onmyoji still pays great attention to the inheritance of blood, or there are some conditions for the use of Onmyoji that you must If you have the blood of a certain onmyoji family, for example, your Abe family has a technique that reaches the sky and penetrates the earth, which no other onmyoji can learn," Shimazu Hiromichi said.

Abe Qingning sighed, nodded and said: "Yes, the source of our onmyoji's power comes from our own blood, because the first generation of onmyojis almost all obtained their power from an ancient god, and this The godhood of the ancient god is inheritance, so many powerful onmyoji are engraved in the DNA, and only people from a certain family can use them. Therefore, even if ordinary people become onmyoji, they can only use some ordinary onmyoji. , and these Yin and Yang techniques can only deal with ordinary people, or those mythical creatures that are relatively weak."

Abe Qingning's words reminded Liu Xing of the players he met at the University of Tokyo. He didn't know what happened to them after they took refuge in Rashomon, and whether they became ordinary Onmyoji.

By the way, what are the names of those players?

Liu Xing thought about it and found that he had forgotten the names and even the looks of those players. After all, they only met once, and after that, he got to know so many people, so he forgot about those players. The players are also normal.

However, "Rashomon" still made Liu Xing very curious.

So Liu Xing couldn't help but ask: "Master Abe, do you know about Rashomon?"

"Rashomon?!"

Abe Qingning frowned and said very seriously: "Are you talking about the Rashomon who is active online? That guy, or that group of people, is not a good thing. Although there are many Onmyoji among them , but these guys had already taken refuge in Hyakki Island a long time ago, and after that, they continued to trick ordinary people into joining them. Ordinary people who joined Rashomon would either become Onmyoji or become Hyakki Island. food, or half-ghost.”

It seems those players may be gone.

"Rashomon should be regarded as a peripheral organization of Hyakki Island. After all, although Hyakki Island has been driven out of the island country, they have been operating in the island country for thousands of years. They have many various peripheral organizations, and I heard that the main reason why the Onmyoji of Rashomon betrayed Onmyo Ryo was that Onmyo Ryo asked them to perform a fatal mission during the Hyakuki Night Walk."

At this time, a person who had been making soy sauce next to him said: "So fundamentally speaking, it is you, Yin Yang Lao, who have failed the founders of Rashomon. After all, for most people, living is more important than anything else."

Abe Qingning looked at the man and said angrily: "Those guys are just afraid of death. The task assigned to them by our Yin Yang Lao was to prevent Hyakki Yakou's outpost from entering Kyoto. As a result, they rebelled directly. To put it bluntly, We felt that we could not stop the Night Parade of Hundred Ghosts, so we chose to join the enemy; Nizi Pingqing, do you like to find trouble in our Yin Yang Lao?"

"Huh? Are you from the Nizi family?" Shimazu Hiromichi said with a surprised look on his face: "I thought your Nizi family had completely become history."

"Nizi's family, I didn't expect there to be descendants."

Tanegashima Teruichi was equally surprised and said: "The Nizi family is also a strange family in the island country, because at the beginning, the Nizi family was an ordinary family. Although it was quite noble in terms of blood, it was just a big family after all. It was just a side branch, but the Nizi family had a genius - Nizi Jiujiu, who quickly controlled the eleven countries of Shanyin, Shanyang and Shanyang from scratch, making the Nizi family one of the most powerful families at the time. However, this rocket-like rise also The foundation of the Nizi family is unstable, let alone a family that has no complete control over all countries."

"The result can be imagined. When Nizi Yuejiu, a generational hero, passed away, his successor Nizi Harujiu, as a mediocre person, quickly destroyed the Nizi family's wealth. Of course, this was also related to the fact that his opponent was the Maori family, so The Nizi family was soon annexed by the Mori family; then Shikanosuke, a die-hard fan of the Nizi family, had been working hard to revive the Nizi family, but in the end he completely ruined everything in the Nizi family, because in his unremitting efforts After hard work, the Nizi family organized an army to counterattack, and then the army was defeated, and the Nizi family was cut off from the throne."

"Ah this."

Yin En rubbed the back of his head and said, "I have seen this story before when I was playing games. It was said that after the Nizi family was annexed by the Maori family, the descendants could still be peacefully wealthy. As a result, Yamanaka Shikanosuke has been organizing the resistance, and then the last head of the Nizi family ended up playing with the resistance... So this Yamanaka Shikanosuke is not only the great loyal minister of the Nizi family, but also the destroyer of the Nizi family."

"However, some conspiracy theories claim that Yamanaka Kanosuke is actually a member of the Maori family. Because Yamanaka Kanosuke is too young, when the Maori family annexed the Nizi family, Yamanaka Shikanosuke could not be considered a member of the Nizi family. Retainers, so some people think that the Mori family wants to use Yamanaka Shikanosuke to attract the Nizi family to take action, and then they can deal with the potential threat of the Nizi family in an honest and fair manner." Tanegashima Teru said with a smile.

"Haha, although our Nizi family has been wiped out by everyone during the Warring States Period, we have not given up the opportunity to stand up again, so we have been working hard over the years to try to recreate the glory of the past. Therefore, over the years we The Nizi family has been secretly paying attention to everything in the island country, and finally..."

Before Nizi Heiqing could finish what he said, Shimazu Hiromichi asked unceremoniously: "So your Nizi family is going to come to our Shimadzu family's territory to cause trouble? If I remember correctly, our Shimadzu family My family has nothing to do with your Nizi family, so your Nizi family doesn’t follow martial ethics, right?”

This time, before Nizi Pingqing could speak, Abe Qingning also began to say in a strange tone: "One thing to say is that the demise of Nizi's family is already a recognized event in the island country, so how do we know whether Nizi Pingqing is a fake or shoddy product? , want to use the name of the Nizi family to put money on your face?"

Abe Qingning's words were a bit heart-wrenching, so Nizi Pingqing quickly denied it: "How is that possible?! My Nizi Pingqing is 100% the descendant of Nizi Jiujiu. As for my ancestor Nizi Katsuhisa back then, it was indeed Choosing to commit suicide after the defeat, the Nizi family was completely extinct on the surface. However, in fact, after our Nizi family was defeated by the Maori family, they realized that the Maori family might choose to eradicate the roots and would not let our Nizi family become a hidden danger to them. , so we deliberately sent several new-born children out of the family to be raised by our Nizi family’s original head family, the Kyogoku family, so that our Nizi family could retain the fire.”

"If the Kyogoku family helps, then your Nizi family can indeed save the fire. After all, although the Kyogoku family is already extremely weak, the Kyogoku family can still be regarded as the pillars of the Wu family, and they are very happy in the shogunate. , so the Maori family doesn't dare to do anything to the Kyogoku family." Shimazu Hiromichi nodded and said: "So your Nizi family are still working for the Kyogoku family? I remember that the Kyogoku family can still be regarded as a third-rate family, and the industry Nothing more, nothing less.”

Nizi Heike knew that Shimazu Hiromichi was still mocking him, but because his back was not strong in the first place, he could only hold his breath and said: "Yes, our Nizi family still has to follow the Kyogoku family. But our Nizi family can still communicate with the outside world in our own name, so the main purpose of our Nizi family coming to Tanegashima this time is to investigate and deal with the truth about Tanegashima, and then impress your Shimazu family."

Hearing this, Shimazu Hiromichi already understood the purpose of Nizi Heike's visit, "Oh, it seems that your Nizi family is not very happy living under my roof? You actually want our Shimazu family to help you start your own business. "

Nizi Pingqing nodded and said: "Of course it is not easy to live under someone else's roof, not to mention that we have to remain anonymous... And Mr. Shimazu, you also know that our Nizi family also offended the Kyogoku family during its rise, so the Kyogoku family After taking us in, they have been giving us various orders. Our Nizi family has to do all the dirty work. Therefore, our Nizi family must leave the Kyogoku family in order to have a bright future, so I want to borrow I’ll take this opportunity to hand you a certificate of nomination for the Shimadzu family!”

Shimazu Hiromichi looked at the serious-looking Nizi Heike, and after thinking for a moment, he shook his head and uttered three words.

"not enough."

Nizi Heiqing had already guessed that Shimazu Hiromichi would say this, so he said directly: "I also know that such a certificate of declaration is not enough. After all, the results that our Nizi family can investigate are simply not worth mentioning in the eyes of your Shimazu family. There is no difficulty, so our Nizi family is willing to present the original version of "Izumoden"!"

"What, "Izumoden" is in the hands of your niko family?!"
