Chapter 1186: Paradox

Liu Xing thought for a moment and said, "Then I'll give a message back to the blood-colored ghoul now, and ask how long it plans to wait before entering this underground temple." ”

"Then we must wait until we are busy with the mod of Gongwu before we can leave for South America to help the Scarlet Ghouls deal with this matter...

Before Zhang Jingxu's words were finished, Liu Xing remembered the task that Tanegashima Terumi issued to him, so he said with some embarrassment: "Then there is one thing I forgot to tell you in advance, that is, when I went to the power company controlled by the Shimazu family, I met a core member of the Tanegashima family, or it can also be said that it is a strong contender for the next head of the Tanegashima family, and he issued me a special mission, although the specific content of the task has not yet been clarified, But it's not hard to guess that this task is for us to help him become the new head of the Tanegashima family. ”

"Then go and help him, after all, there are many friends and many roads, you must know that the Tanegashima family can be said to be one of the most important subsidiary families of the Shimazu family, so it is also a good choice for us to befriend the Tanegashima family, but judging from the tone of Liu Xing's words, this task should not start until the end of the battle of Gongwu, right?" Yin Eun said with a smile.

Liu Xing nodded, and first told everyone the true situation of the Tanegashima family, "To sum up, the current Tanegashima family is too famous, if you ignore the relationship between the Tanegashima family and the Shimadzu family, then the Tanegashima family is just an ordinary family; But the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and the Tanegashima family still seems to have something, so my idea was to do this quest, but the reason why this quest was characterized as a special quest by the Cthulhu Run game lobby is because it is really special. ”

"To put it simply, in addition to this special quest can be obtained from the relevant members of the Tanegashima family, you can also land on Tanegashima within a few days after the end of the Gongwu War, and you can automatically receive this special quest, but I'm not sure if there will be two different plot lines for these two different ways to receive the task, for example, players who receive the task from the relevant personnel will be directly involved in the whirlpool of the family owner's competition, and the player who automatically receives the task can only wait for the opportunity on the periphery first."

After listening to Liu Xing's description of this special task, everyone present couldn't help but fall into deep thought, because the conditions for receiving this special mission were indeed very "interesting".

After a while, Ding Kun couldn't help but say: "The information given by this special mission is still too little, so I think if we want to participate in this special mission, we can divide it into two by virtue of the advantage of numbers, Liu Xing, you take Zhang Jingxu and Zhang Wenbing to find that Tanegashima Huiyi to receive the task, while me and the others wait until the right time to land on Tanegashima, and this suitable time is when there are no other players to land on the island again." ”

Liu Xing raised his eyebrows and said with a little surprise: "Brother Ding, you mean, you plan to take Yin En and them to avoid the sight of other players, and then disguise yourself as NPCs to participate in this special mission?" ”

"That's right, I think the main reason why this special mission gives players two different ways to participate is because they want to weigh it up to themselves - is it freedom or more intelligence? Obviously, Liu Xing, after you enter Tanegashima, there is a chance that you will be invited to the territory of the Tanegashima family as soon as possible, and then you will have to stay in the eye of the storm to continue the task because of the intensification of the dispute between the head of the family, and although this eye of the storm is safe, if you dare to take one more step outside, you may be sent directly to the sky by the storm. ”

"And the eye of the storm is equivalent to a well, so although you in the eye of the storm can directly participate in the battle of the head of the family and obtain all kinds of important information at the first time, you are still looking at the sky in the well, and you can't get a full picture; And those of us who are on the periphery, although we can only hear some gossip, but we can grasp the overall trend of the battle for the head of the family, for example, we can see that a certain force has a few more reinforcements, or such and such a force sends someone to ask for help or something, so we may not see as accurate as you, but it must be more than you see. ”

"In addition, Liu Xing, you also said that Tanegashima is a big family, and there are members distributed in various locations throughout Tanegashima, and at the same time, these different strongholds also take on different tasks, such as some strongholds are just places to live, and some strongholds are factories or something, so Liu Xing, you should enter the headquarters of the Tanegashima family, and then you should not be able to get out, and in addition to the fact that we can't go to the headquarters, other strongholds should come and go freely, which is a big gap between us."

Speaking of this, Ding Kun pointed to Mosin Nagant beside him and said: "So I think that if we really want to participate in this special mission, then the best choice is to divide the troops into two ways, and those of us who are good at fighting will roam around the periphery, and we can escort or kill some NPCs when necessary; And Liu Xing, you civil servants and writers are at the headquarters to assist that Tanegashima Huiyi, and by the way, provide us with relevant information. ”

"I agree with Dingo, but are we really going to participate in this special mod? I think this special quest is like a flytrap, and NPCs like Tanegashima Teruki are the scents it emits, attracting us profit-seeking players into it, and then it snaps and closes its mouth, and none of us can escape. ”

Li Hanxing said while gesturing the big mouth of the flytrap with both hands, "When I was in the real world before, I once participated in a malicious confrontation module, simply put, there was a patriarch of a big family who suddenly became critically ill, and his three sons all had their own advantages and disadvantages, so he couldn't choose who would inherit his patriarch for a while, so he asked his three sons to find two partners to face his problems together, and this was a test of the three sons' ability to make friends." ”

"And guess what, the venue for this competition is the hometown of this big family, that is, a small village near the sea, which looks like the rhythm of the deep diver to appear, so I and the other players have a mind, but there is no player at the beginning of the plot, and the reason why he is gone is that he was attacked by the deep diver, so that the original 2v2v2 confrontation module was turned into a five-person cooperative survival mod, and as a result, we were wiped out as a result, The reason for the team annihilation is that the winner is not decided within the specified time. ”

"Huh? So, it's actually a versus mod where only the winning group can escape? ”

Ding Kun touched his chin and said, "If I'm not mistaken, this big family is a group of deep divers half-breeds, and the reason why the old family master will give way is that he wants to return to life in the sea; As for why the sons should find friends to help compete for the position of head of the family, I think the main reason why the deep diver hybrids stay on land is that they need to deal with humans, so it is very important that the sons find human friends are good. ”

"That's right, we hapless players are a bunch of tool people... So I suspect that the Tanegashima family may be trying to reorganize the family, so I went behind the Shimazu family to contact some secret churches, so I missed some 'votes'. ”

Speaking of this, Li Hanxing said with a smile: "I also know that there are some conspiracy theories when I say this, but we can't rule out the possibility that the Tanegashima family will be sick and rushed to the hospital, after all, this battle of public arms is not only to reintegrate the major forces of the island country, but also to promote each force to rectify its own internal situation, because there are no major events in ordinary times that everyone needs to go together, so some people who are indiscriminate even if they fish every day, they may not be able to be found out." ”

"Yes, for the Shimazu family, no matter what the outcome of the battle is, they can use the excuse of incompetence to dissolve the subordination relationship with the Tanegashima family, so that there is no need to give the Tanegashima family a blood transfusion, after all, the current Tanegashima family is not helpful to the Shimazu family at all, and it is a master who is dragging his feet."

Although he said that, Liu Xing still said with some hesitation: "But the reward given by this special mission is not bad, and Tanegashima is in the rear of the Shimazu family, so I think that unless the Tanegashima family is sure to oppose the guest, let the Shimazu family be their vassal, or simply annex the Shimazu family, otherwise the Tanegashima family should not dare to live casually, after all, the Shimazu family will only give up and give up a Tanejima family that is completely useless to them." ”

As soon as Liu Xing's words came out, everyone present was silent again.

After a long while, Zhang Jingxu shook his head and said: "Since the degree of freedom of this special task is so high, even if you accept the task, you can quit directly without paying any price, then let's take a step at a time, but Liu Xing, you have to be a little busy, and you have nothing to do to communicate with Tanegashima Huiyi." ”

No problem. Liu Xing nodded and said, "Then let's talk about the Kamakura family, right?" Now we have two points of intersection with the Kamakura family, one is the northern business hall of Nagoya Electric Power Company, and the person in charge of the Kamakura family in this business hall is still a good classmate of Koo Kosukawa in the past; The other one is even more interesting, the Kamakura family is doing something to an ordinary family for money, which seems to make sense, maybe a decision made by some marginal member to earn money, but I think it may not be that simple. ”

"Is it because of the mirror in Sakai Sho Village?"

As soon as Liu Xing's words fell, Yin En continued: "The mirror world is not uncommon, but I really haven't heard of the dead mirror world, and according to Sakai Masachi, the main reason why this mirror world has become what it is now is because of the intervention of players; However, as far as I know, even the first players to enter the lobby of the Cthulhu Run game will not be able to go back to modding decades ago unless they encounter an extremely rare time-traveling mod, or a dream mod like our previous one. ”

"That's right, the first batch of players who entered the Cthulhu Run game lobby, the mods they participated in basically happened around two thousand years ago, after all, at that time, there were rumors about the destruction of the world at the millennium, so even in the real world, there were many secret churches at that time to take the opportunity to make trouble, but there were really no mods going forward." Zhang Jingxu touched his chin, frowned and said: "So killing the player in the mirror world in Sakai Shang Village should be because of a time travel mod back to decades ago, but I'm still curious about how they made a mirror world die." ”

"Yes, the mirror world is equivalent to a transit station in a parallel world, and some powerful existences can complete a rapid transfer through the mirror world, which shows that the mirror world is still quite stable, after all, some of the old rulers can shatter the real space within a certain range when they come to the real world... Of course, powerful mythical creatures like the Star Clan can shatter planes. ”

Zhang Wenbing showed an expression of recollection, and continued: "I remember that Huaxia Daomen also tried to destroy the mirror world, but it was a lot of effort that was wasted without success... So I suddenly had a suspicion that that group of players was us. ”

As soon as Zhang Wenbing's words came out, Liu Xing and the others were shocked, because everyone didn't expect Zhang Wenbing to say such a thing.

"Don't be too surprised, because I'm not talking nonsense." Zhang Wenbing shook his head and said seriously: "I believe that everyone, as a veteran player of the Cthulhu Run Game Hall, should have found that when the Cthulhu Run Game Hall arranges mods for players, most of them will follow the standard of 'cause and effect', which means that the foreshadowing of the first few mods is likely to appear in the next mod, and the Cthulhu Run Game Hall is still quite scientific at some times." ”

"Science?"

Looking at Liu Xing and the others who were still puzzled, Zhang Wenbing directly said his thoughts, "Well, it's not so much science as a paradox, I believe you should have heard of the grandmother paradox - if a time traveler goes back in time and kills his grandmother, then it stands to reason that he will definitely not be born in the future, so how can he kill his grandmother in the past?" ”

"I understand, Zhang Wenbing, you plan to use paradox to deny the existence of the mirror world, and then this mirror world will be like a computer stuck in an infinite loop, because it can't handle duplicate data and crash directly!"

Liu Xing slapped his thigh and suddenly realized: "The current world in the mirror is indeed not completely dead, but stays at a point in time like a dead machine!" ”
