Real Cthulhu Running Game

Chapter 321: A Trip to the Ancestral Hall (Part 2)

In this world, there is no shortage of lucky people.

Just like Liu Xing's teammate White River City in the first module, even in the module in the Cthulhu area, you can get items related to Cthulhu, and even trigger world missions. . . Although Liu Xing found the parchment. . .

Therefore, if Matsui Ichiro was lucky enough, it would be reasonable to pick up so many ecstasy incense by accident, and this could also explain why Matsui Ichiro was so lavish, using the incomparably precious ecstasy incense to the villagers of Fisherman's Village.

Thinking of this, Liu Xing has 50% confidence in this guess.

But for Alice, Ichiro Matsui's explanation didn't satisfy her, so Alice continued: "Oh, these are crafts from Ryukyu? The styles of these crafts are too strange, even the Ukiyo-e style of the island country is not so exaggerated, but if these crafts appear in horror movies or games, I might not be surprised at all."

Even Liu Xing, a bystander, could already hear that Alice was belittling these gods in secret, so Liu Xing focused on Matsui Ichiro, and was looking forward to what kind of reaction Matsui Ichiro would make. After all, now from Matsui Ichiro's reaction, he can basically determine whether his thoughts are correct.

But at this moment, Liu Xing heard another sound of dice falling to the ground.

"Oh, is that so? Although I have been in Fisherman's Village for many years, or I have never watched any horror movies or played any horror games in my life, these handicrafts do look a little scary. Usually, if the weather is bad, the ancestral hall will look very gloomy. Sometimes when I walk in, I will be startled by these handicrafts, although I have already prepared myself for it." Matsui Ichiro said with a smile.

interesting.

Seeing Matsui Ichiro with a natural expression and a relaxed tone, Liu Xing is now more and more sure that Matsui Ichiro is a lucky liar, because Alice's mockery of those gods did not have any effect on Matsui Ichiro, so unless Matsui Ichiro is extremely deep in the city and has excellent acting skills, it is impossible for Matsui Ichiro to really be a missionary of the Ocean True God Sect.

But even now, Liu Xing is only 60% sure that he can confirm the guess about Matsui Ichiro's identity, because there are still three doubts that Liu Xing cannot explain clearly.

The first thing is the compound magic circle. If Matsui Ichiro is really a lucky charlatan, then who drew up this compound magic circle, and the final effect of this compound magic circle still needs to be finished with a magician, so Liu Xing can be sure that there should be a magician in this fisherman's village, and in this fisherman's village, the only candidate for a magician is Matsui Ichiro.

Then why did Matsui Ichiro arrange for Matsui Yui to leave the Fisherman's Village for the "immortal dance" and bring back some people to serve as villagers of the Fisherman's Village? It can't be that Ichiro Matsui is idle and wants to develop the Fisherman's Village, and if there is no follow-up to such an approach, it is likely to attract the attention of the police of the island country.

In the end, Liu Xing just heard a strange sound in a room next to the ancestral hall that had been "abandoned" for many years and was sealed with cement doors and windows. Although Liu Xing is still not sure what the sound is, Liu Xing can be sure that it should be the sound of some kind of biological action.

Therefore, Liu Xing felt that until these three doubts could not be explained clearly, he was still not sure whether Matsui Ichiro was a lucky charlatan or not. . . Perhaps, Matsui Ichiro might be a lucky and powerful charlatan?

While Liu Xing was thinking wildly, Alice still didn't give up testing Ichiro Matsui, "So, Mr. Ichiro Matsui, haven't you thought about disposing of these handicrafts? After all, these handicrafts are really inconsistent with the overall style and atmosphere of the fisherman's village ancestral hall."

Matsui Ichiro nodded without hesitation, and said with a smile: "Alice, you are right. These handicrafts are indeed not suitable for displaying in the ancestral hall. But at that time, I also simply put them in this ancestral hall because I heard other people say that these handicrafts can suppress evil. They have been stored for many years, so it is not easy to deal with it now. If the villagers who bought these handicrafts find out, I will inevitably be blamed by them."

Matsui Ichiro's words are naturally an excuse in Alice's eyes, so Alice continued to press her step by step: "Oh, is this the case? Although I heard that you islanders believe in the so-called eight million gods, that is, everything is a god, but the painting style of these handicrafts should not conform to your islander's view of gods, so even though I am a foreigner, I still want to suggest to Mr. Matsui Ichiro that you dispose of these handicrafts, and I will send you another batch later. How about a handicraft that is suitable for displaying in the ancestral hall, Mr. Ichiro Matsui."

Liu Xing frowned, Alice's last sentence was in an affirmative tone, not an interrogative tone.

Therefore, Alice, who has always been aggressive, made the atmosphere tense.

And Matsui Ichiro looked at Alice with a serious face, and didn't say a word for a long time.

Liu Xing glanced at Zhang Jingxu and Shi Chuanling beside them, and Zhang Jingxu and Shi Chuanling shook their heads tacitly, expressing to wait and see what happened.

Liu Xing turned his head and continued to look at Ichiro Matsui and Alice who were in the confrontation. He could only sigh in his heart that the NPCs were arguing, and it was really hard for players to intervene.

But things have come to this point, Liu Xing can be sure that Matsui Ichiro and Alice are not the same way, because Matsui Ichiro and Alice can't be idle and have nothing to do to perform such a play.

Unless Matsui Ichiro and Alice discovered the strangeness of their group, but if this was the case, there was no need for Matsui Ichiro and Alice to act in such a play, wouldn't it be enough to just do it.

Therefore, Liu Xing silently took a step back, slightly away from Matsui Ichiro and Alice who were confronting each other, lest the city gate catch fire later, and the pond fish would be affected.

But at this moment, Miyako Indus suddenly stood up and said: "Uh, Mr. Matsui Ichiro, Miss Alice, I think you can sit down and discuss it later. After all, these handicrafts are indeed not suitable for displaying in such a serious place as the ancestral hall, and these handicrafts look really sinister. From an outsider's point of view, these strangely shaped handicrafts seem like a dragon's den in the fisherman's village ancestral hall."

The sudden interruption of Miyako Indus made both Alice and Matsui Ichiro somewhat surprised, but Liu Xing believed that Miyako Indus at this time also gave Alice and Matsui Ichiro a chance to get off the slope.

After all, Liu Xing felt that Alice at this time should have realized that she was a little too aggressive, and she was still in the territory of Ichiro Matsui, isolated and helpless, so Alice felt that it was time for her to give up.

Matsui Ichiro didn't want to entangle Alice with this issue anymore, so he nodded first, and said, "No problem, then time is running out now, we'd better hold the ceremony first, and then Miss Alice, let's discuss this related matter slowly."

"Okay, let's talk later." Alice said.

This matter is over for now.

Liu Xing shook his head regretfully. He thought that if Alice and Ichiro Matsui went on like this, conflicts would break out, and then they would start dog-eat-dog, so that his group could reap the benefits.

However, if Alice really angered Ichiro Matsui, I am afraid that Liu Xing and his party will also be implicated.

"Okay, it's not too late. Let's start the ceremony now. I hope that all friends can remain silent, because although the main purpose of the next ceremony is to bless relatives and friends, it is still a serious ceremony, so I hope all friends can cooperate." Ichiro Matsui said seriously.

Liu Xing nodded, and said with a smile: "Understood, Mr. Ichiro Matsui, but apart from keeping silent, what regulations do we need to abide by, or what do we need to do?"

Matsui Ichiro chuckled, and said, "There's nothing special about this, as long as you all give blessings to the newcomers wholeheartedly, it's fine even if you close your eyes and rest your mind, as long as you listen to me, an old man, babbling casually."

Liu Xing raised his brows, and began to feel vigilant in his heart. After all, according to Ichiro Matsui, his group only needs to let go of their spirits, and when people let go of their spirits, it is the time when their will starts to weaken.

Therefore, Liu Xing suspected that Matsui Ichiro was ready to do something.

Ever since, Liu Xing took advantage of the time when Matsui Ichiro and Alice were not paying attention, turned around and gave Zhang Jingxu and others a look, implying that they should pay attention to Matsui Ichiro's movements.

At this time, Liu Xing saw the panda pig standing on the outermost edge secretly took out a pair of earplugs and stuffed them into his ears.

Sure enough, this panda pig is really a chicken thief.

However, Liu Xing thinks that the Panda Pig's approach is quite advisable. After all, unless it is like Cthulhu who can nudge deep in the soul of intelligent creatures, the spell that Matsui Ichiro may cast that can affect people's hearts needs to meet an important prerequisite, that is, the caster must hear the spell, so as to ensure the success of the spell.

Therefore, the panda pig with earplugs now has a layer of insurance.

However, Liu Xing was still speechless about the selfishness of "Panda Pig", because "Panda Pig" had already thought of this point but didn't say it out, as if he was afraid that his group would steal his earplugs. . .

At this time, Matsui Ichiro took out a few futons and placed them in front of the incense tablet, and Liu Xing and others knelt down in cooperation.

But at this moment, Liu Xing saw Matsui Ichiro carefully take out a stick of incense from a small cabinet.

Ecstasy? !

This was Liu Xing's first and only thought.

After all, the villagers in the Fisherman's Village have learned from the past, so Liu Xing naturally regarded the incense in Ichiro Matsui's hands as the incense of ecstasy, and there is a good saying - better to kill by mistake than to let it go.

Therefore, Liu Xing immediately said: "Mr. Matsui Ichiro, what is this incense in your hand?"

Matsui Ichiro was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "You said this fragrance. It was given to me by an outsider a long time ago. The outsider said that he was a travel writer. He came to our Fisherman's Village to collect stories. After staying in our Fisherman's Village for a long time, he finally wrote a work that he thought he was very satisfied with. Then, when he left our Fisherman's Village, in order to express his gratitude, he gave me many things that he didn't have to take away."

"Among them, these incenses are included. The travel writer said that he brought these incenses from the Huaxia region. A well-known incense maker in his hometown spent a lot of time and energy and various precious materials to make them. If the travel writer hadn't helped the incense maker write a biography, otherwise he would not have been able to get these incenses."

"And these incenses are really good things, because when lit, these incenses will emit a very pleasant smell and can calm people's minds. This is why the travel writer would light an incense every time he writes. When I passed by the travel writer's room, I could smell the smell of these incenses from several meters away. So now every time I hold various ceremonies in the ancestral hall, I will light an incense to create an atmosphere."

Matsui Ichiro's words made Liu Xing a little surprised, because the "travel author" that Matsui Ichiro said sounded so much like that Li Yongjie?

And Li Yongjie is clearly a reporter in the letter with Kenji Inoue.

Could it be that Matsui Ichiro borrowed and adapted the setting of "Li Yongjie" in order to make up a reasonable excuse?

However, Liu Xing saw Matsui Ichiro's extremely natural expression and tone, and suddenly felt that Matsui Ichiro was not lying.

Could it be?

Liu Xing frowned, and just when he was about to continue asking, Alice on the side said seriously: "Uh, Mr. Matsui Ichiro, if possible, please don't light this incense, because I am allergic to some spices, and you have also said that these incense are made of many expensive materials, I think it should contain spices."

Matsui Ichiro raised his eyebrows, and after thinking for a moment, he nodded and said, "Alright then, I won't light this incense."

What is the situation.

Liu Xing is a little confused now.
