Real Cthulhu Running Game

"Yeah, now that I think about it carefully, I realize that the attackers should have used an energy-based weapon to hide in the forest and attack us. So although the firepower seems to be quite fierce, But the actual damage is just that, because this energy weapon can easily cause over-penetration, but its caliber is about the same as the tip of a ballpoint pen, so unless it hits a vital part, this energy weapon can only Just make a small hole for someone."

Ichisuga's description made Liu Xing couldn't help but think of the naval battles in the sailing warship period. Some ships survived dozens of cannonballs from their opponents. The reason was that these cannonballs all penetrated, so these cannonballs Although the damage caused looks terrible, it is just a little skin trauma. After returning home, just use a wooden board to block it.

"Energy weapons?" Gu Muming frowned and said with some confusion: "This mysterious organization is a bit interesting. It turns out to be a grasp of magic and science. However, I have seen energy weapons like this before, because there once was an Is People have been to Hyakki Island, so we have cooperated with the Yi people and prepared to arm the half-ghosts on Hyakki Island. After all, the current half-ghosts can only bully ordinary people."

Gu Muming's words reminded Liu Xing of MiG and the transformed Lundel. They are both mythical creatures armed with technology, and their strength has been significantly improved than before.

"It's a pity that even the Yi people who know a lot of things soon announced that they are not capable of our Hyakki Island armed plan. The reason is that the compatibility between our mythical creatures and technology is too low. Although it can be installed on other There are few weapons and equipment, but these weapons and equipment are simply superfluous and have very limited improvement in combat effectiveness. However, although this plan failed, it also left us with a lot of technological reserves on Hyakki Island. For example, there is an energy The weapon is very similar to what you said Mr. Ichijo."

Gu Muming waved his hand, and many branches that appeared out of thin air began to deform and synthesize, and then something that looked like a hand drill appeared.

"Energy weapons like this usually have an energy storage device to ensure that the weapon can be used in a short period of time without worrying about battery life. However, the biggest shortcoming of energy weapons is also here. After all, there are many things like energy, just like Solar energy and thermal energy are everywhere, but if you want to use them, they must be transformed. Therefore, energy weapons used by a single person will almost always have a wave of operations that are as fierce as a tiger, and then turn into burning fire sticks. Therefore, we do not have any more energy weapons on Hyakki Island. Instead of making a single-player energy weapon, build a few energy turrets.”

The "hand drill" in front of Gu Muming changed again and became something similar to a shore defense gun.

"Yes, although the energy weapon used by a single person looks very powerful, in actual combat environment, especially on the battlefield where there are many people, its effect is not as good as ordinary firearms, so except for some specific Only in scenes like Mi.Go or the base of the Ancient One would the security guards be equipped with such energy weapons." Shimazu Hiromichi continued.

Liu Xing recalled the energy weapons in the Cthulhu Run game and found that there were quite a lot of them. However, these energy weapons all have a common feature, that is, they can only be fired single-shot like a pistol. In a short period of time, It can only fire a certain number of times, and then you have to wait for it to recover its ammunition. What's more important is that some energy weapons have a certain chance of malfunctioning or even exploding directly when shooting.

So just like Shimazu Hiromichi said, many players in the Cthulhu Run game lobby will not use energy weapons in actual combat because they are too unstable.

"But having said that, the energy weapons I have seen basically have a high power, which can guarantee that a hit will at least make the enemy lose part of their combat effectiveness, or even kill them directly. So the power you mentioned, Mr. Ichijo, is very I’ve never seen a small energy weapon before, after all, it’s better to just use firearms made by you humans.”

Hearing what Gu Muming said, Ichijosama's expression suddenly changed. "Oh, Mr. Gumu, do you think I'm lying? Do I need to risk my own life to find you lying?"

Gu Muming smiled, shook his head and said: "I am an old man who has lived for hundreds of years, so I think I have some experience in judging people. Therefore, I am now sure that you are not lying, Mr. Ichijo, but I think you It may be that I made a mistake while busy, and mistakenly believed that someone attacked you, rather than you triggering the mechanism that had been set up long ago."

Hearing what Gu Mumei said, Ichijo Tadashi was stunned for a moment, and then nodded after thinking for a while: "It seems to be true, because the impact points of the array of energy weapons were very dense, so they killed me in the first time." Several men, and because we were on the road at the time, we could only counterattack in the possible direction of the enemy while directly finding bunkers to escape from the enemy's attack range. Therefore, we quickly left the battlefield, and in our minds The enemy did not pursue us anymore."

"So this should be a mechanism arranged by a certain force."

As Gu Muming said this, he looked at Tanegashima Kaizhen.

Tanegashima Huizhen quickly shook his head and said: "Our Tanegashima family has been rooted in Tanegashima for hundreds of years, and has long brought everything on Tanegashima into the scope of management, except for the Tanegashima Space Center that was later established, so I am certain that our Tanegashima family has not installed such energy weapons in the woods, and no similar energy weapons have been found before yesterday."

"It seems that this is the work of that mysterious organization again, and their purpose of doing this is actually to put out smoke bombs, so that we don't know how many forces there are on Tanegashima, and we don't know which one this mysterious organization is mainly attacking. direction, so that we cannot make targeted preparations." Shimazu Hiromichi said: "But there is still a problem, that is, there are not many external forces on Tanegashima. Most of these forces may have a certain intention. I landed on Tanegashima with the idea of ​​​​finding out the truth, but I have no doubt that some forces will have ulterior motives."

"Don't worry, Mr. Shimazu, you are willing to join my investigation team, so if someone dares to cause trouble on Tanegashima, I will definitely help you solve the problem." Gu Muming said with a smile.

Just like Ichijo Masaga said before, the people under him are just a group of ordinary bodyguards in the final analysis, so now they are very scared, so Ichijo Masaga simply let them all go to Tanegashima Town to rest, alone One person joined the investigation team and walked beside Liu Xing.

On the way to the Tanegashima Arsenal, Liu Xing asked Ichijo Masa how I was doing recently, just because he was idle.

"After Nagoya returned to peace, almost all the members of the public faction chose to leave. After all, Nagoya at that time had become the territory of your samurai faction, so the members of the public faction who had contact with me lost contact directly. As for the people at the Diving Association headquarters, they disappeared without a trace. Since I had nothing to do, I just continued to eat and wait for death, just like I did before, but I didn't stop because of this. The connection with Brother Konoe.”

At this point, Ichisumasa suddenly said with emotion: "Because Konoe is old and there are so many things happening at the natural gas canning plant, I simply closed the factory and let Konoe My brother is the person in charge of my other company; the situation in Nagoya at that time was quite tense, so the nightclubs and bars were not open yet, so I had nothing to do and chatted with Konoe, mainly. Let’s talk about the story of our Ichijo family and the Konoe family.”

"As a result, after listening to my story, Brother Konoe began to look for opportunities to relieve my knot. At the beginning, I felt quite annoyed, but then I found that Brother Konoe had become mine. Family, the only family. After all, you know my situation. I have never felt the warmth of family since I was a child. Those so-called brothers and sisters are a bunch of clowns and bastards in my eyes, so I have hardly had any contact with my family over the years. We have spoken, so brother Konoe and I have become brothers with different surnames."

Liu Xing raised his brows and said with a smile: "That's not bad. Mr. Konoe also had to leave his family for some reasons, so you can be considered a worldless person. It's not bad to support each other together. After all, You are not young anymore."

Ichisugasa shrugged, nodded and said: "That's true, I'm actually not too young now, and I have never had the idea of ​​starting a family, because I feel that there is no difference between me now and my father back then. He is a complete scumbag, so I am very worried that I will really turn into my father after starting a family; as for brother Konoe, not to mention, he has actually started a healthy life recently, and in the company he only needs Just drink tea and watch TV."

"Then I'm living a good life." Yin En came over and said, "But Mr. Konoe's situation should have been exposed, right? So didn't the Konoe family and the Ichijo family say anything?"

Ichisugasa replied with a smile: "The Konoe family sent someone to ask Konoe's brother and asked him to return to the ancestral home of the Konoe family for retirement, but Konoe's brother chose to refuse. After all, he has also left Konoe. We have been home for many years, and there is no point in going back now. Instead, we might get involved in the dispute over the head of the Konoe family."

Is it another family feud?

Liu Xing couldn't help but said: "Oh, is the Konoe family also going to change its head? Why do I feel that I have heard that several families are changing dynasties recently, such as the Shimazu family and the Chaya family."

"This is normal."

Ichijo Masaga said seriously: "Since the end of the Warring States Period and the establishment of the Tokugawa Shogunate, there have been no new families and no reduction in old families for so many years. Therefore, the situation in the island country during this period is still very stable. The main reason for the change of head of the family was that the previous head of the family was in poor health; but in the year when the Chinese clan was determined, because a new title would be awarded while retaining the old title, he was determined to be a Chinese in that year. Almost all the families of the clan have chosen new heads to gain an additional title."

"In order to maintain the stability of the family, basically all families choose members around thirty years old to succeed the family head. After all, thirty years old is considered a golden age. Your physical fitness, knowledge reserve and vision are at their relative peak. status, and more importantly, at this time, you basically have offspring, that is, a strong contender for the next head of the family; for a big family, sometimes a stable life is the most important thing, so it is not necessary to do so. No family would choose to allow members other than the family owner’s children to inherit the family business.”

Liu Xing felt that Ichijo Masa was hinting at Shimadzu Hiromichi.

"So after confirming the list of Chinese ethnic groups, all the major families in the island country have basically changed their heads, and the ages of the heads are not much different. In addition, the advancement of modern technology has greatly improved people's lifespan, so many The family has formed an unwritten rule, that is, the head of the family will start to consider abdicating after he reaches the age of sixty, unless he is very important to the family as the head of the family. After all, no one wants to be the prince for sixty years. In this way There are many families that change their heads in the same year."

Ichijosei touched his chin and continued: "If I remember correctly, the Wushe family seems to be preparing to change the head of the family, because this is also a tradition of the Wushe family; the competitors of the Wushe family are each other, After all, as descendants of the royal family, we don’t bother to compare with other families, so if nothing happens, our Five Photographers family will change the head of the family at the same time, and then the ranking will be based on the performance of the previous head of the family, and this ranking will affect the island royal family. blessing."

"Huh? When your Wushe family changes the head of the family, will the royal family still preside over the blessing? But it is true that your Wushe family and the island king's royal family have the same origin, so the island king's royal family can also be regarded as your Wushe family. Parents." Liu Xing nodded and said.

"Yes, when our Wushe family changes the head of the family, the most important process is to obtain the appointment letter from the island royal family, and what comes with the appointment letter is the so-called blessing; to put it bluntly, these blessings are just gifts , these gifts are useful if you use them, but they are useless if you say they are useless." Ichijo Masaga said with a smile: "I still remember that last time the Ichijo family won second place, they got a Shangfang sword. In theory, You can kill all the unfaithful and unfilial people."

In Liu Xing's view, Shang Fang's sword and the death-free gold medal have similar meanings.
