Chapter 1144: A Family (Subscription Requested)
After thinking for a while, Liu Xing still decided to believe Satoshi Hashimoto.
After providing KP with his choice this time, Liu Xing said to Satoshi Hashimoto: "I see, have you told anyone else about this matter?" ”
Satoshi Hashimoto hurriedly shook his head and said seriously: "How can you tell other people these things casually?" Although I was shocked when I first learned of the existence of mythical creatures, I was also very relieved to know that there are people like you who are silently protecting us in the dark, because it proves that mythical creatures are not invincible, so I was ready to join you ... Unfortunately, I asked Jeddah the next day, but Jeddah was pretending to be confused all the time, and even warned me not to talk nonsense in disguise, so I pretended not to have heard of it. ”
"Later, I also wanted to tell those who were close to me about this several times, but I still chose to give up when the words came to my lips, because I suddenly thought of a problem, that is, the reason why these mythical creatures are still operating in the dark is not that they dare not stand on the bright side, but they do not want to stand on the bright side, which makes me think of two kinds of movies, one is that monsters hide in the dark and attack humans, and the other is that monsters directly and blatantly attack humans."
"Obviously, although the second kind of movie looks more exciting, it is the former that can bring people a sense of fear, because no one knows if there is a monster hidden in the dark, and when you start to think like this, then the fear in your heart will slowly accumulate, and finally it is very likely to make you collapse directly, just like when I was a child, I lived in an old-fashioned building without an elevator, because the first and second floors of this building are street shops, so there is no electric light on the first and second floors."
"So, if I had gone home alone after dark, I would have taken a break from the lights of the first floor, and then I would have the courage to go up to the third floor in one breath, and then stomp hard to make the sensor light come on, and the feeling of racing against time and doing my best is still fresh in my memory, but I don't want to relive this feeling anymore... But during the time when I first learned about the existence of mythical creatures, my heart beat faster every time I walked into a dark place, so I couldn't imagine that the world would be so scary when everyone became like this. ”
Seeing Satoshi Hashimoto's expression becoming more and more frightened, Liu Xing's trust in Satoshi Hashimoto increased a few points, because as a player in the game hall of the Cthulhu Running Group, Liu Xing thinks that his current acting skills should be able to win an actor or something when he returns to the real world, but it is still not as good as Satoshi Hashimoto's performance... If Satoshi Hashimoto is a member of the public faction.
It seems that we will have to ask Sawada Yoshida for his opinion on this matter later.
"Actually, Hashimoto's idea is wrong, and it's very wrong, but you can't be blamed for it, because you just know about the existence of mythical creatures, but you don't know how terrible mythical creatures are, so to speak, any kind of mythical creatures, they are capable of occupying the earth and destroying us, but because there are too many mythical creatures with this idea, a delicate dangerous balance has been formed, after all, no one wants to make a wedding dress for others first."
"Therefore, we human beings can survive in the cracks, and become the nominal overlord of the earth little by little, but unfortunately all this is seen by the mythical creatures, so since they can't end up in person, then they can only support a part of the human race to fight a proxy war, this is the origin of the secret church; And now these mythical creatures have formed a tacit understanding with humans who know their existence, that is, they will hide some things from the vast majority of ordinary people. ”
Speaking of this, Liu Xing stared at Satoshi Hashimoto and said: "So, in fact, we don't want to protect you ordinary people, in fact, we have to let you ordinary people not know these things, because once you know too much, then the mythical creatures can break the original tacit understanding and directly stand up and carve up the earth, after all, they are already known to everyone, so you don't have to act." ”
Liu Xing's words made Satoshi Hashimoto break out in a cold sweat, and his breathing became heavy.
Seeing this, Liu Xing didn't say anything more, and directly shifted his attention to Maeda and the others.
According to what Maeda said before, in today's factory, the most likely members of the public faction are the factory director and the Tanaka foursome, and the possibility of others being members of the public faction is not high, but it is not high, because the more undercover this thing is not the better, in a factory of less than 100 people, there can be five undercover agents, in Liu Xing's opinion, there are a bit too much, in fact, leaving a factory director is the best choice, because the current factory director has set up a "factory is my home" persona, If you want to force him to leave the factory, you will probably be resisted by other employees.
The most important thing is that in the Internet era, many things that were not worth mentioning in the past can be fermented into a big news on the Internet overnight, so Liu Xing doesn't want to see that in a few days, "the new boss will force away the old factory director who has served the factory for decades" on the Internet.
If such news really appears, then there is no need for the public faction to be the driving force behind it, the reputation of the Sawada family will still be seriously affected, and the other forces of the samurai faction may not be able to help but kick the Sawada family out of the top ten forces.
So if you think about it carefully, this old factory director is really untouchable.
But those four bodyguards are quite easy to deal with, and when the time comes, just let them go back to their old jobs, anyway, the Sawada family needs a lot of bodyguards.
Liu Xing continued to observe the situation inside the factory while thinking about it, and found that the internal structure of the factory was quite complicated, and it seemed that after taking over here, he had to carefully inspect all corners of the entire factory.
More than ten minutes passed like this, and Liu Xing suddenly heard Satoshi Hashimoto say: "Mr. Meteor, I know how stupid my previous ideas were, I didn't expect the situation of our human race to be so bad, but I still have a question I want to ask you, that is, is there a chance for people like me to join you?" ”
Liu Xing turned his head, looked at Satoshi Hashimoto with a nervous face, shook his head decisively and said: "How is it possible, ordinary people like you join us, and the result is only one word - death, so we will not recruit ordinary people to join us casually, because we don't want to harm you or use you as cannon fodder." ”
Speaking of this, Liu Xing also pretended to sigh deeply.
Hearing Liu Xing say this, Satoshi Hashimoto didn't insist anymore, just shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Okay, it seems that I'm still an ordinary person honestly, just don't make trouble for you; So let's go back to the original topic, Mr. Meteor, you should be here today to check if there are any mythical creatures or people from the public faction here, right? Actually, I know that this factory belongs to the family in the public faction, because when we signed a supply contract with this factory, I asked who the owner of this factory was. ”
Since talking about this, Liu Xing suddenly became interested.
Seeing that Liu Xing seemed to be very interested in this topic, Satoshi Hashimoto said directly: "The boss of this factory is surnamed Yamamoto, but he is just a spokesperson who has been pushed out, because the real behind-the-scenes boss used some unsightly means when he got this factory, so he and his family don't want others to know that he did it; But none of us who used to be gangsters were tight-mouthed, so I quickly found an employee who knew who the boss was and paid him to tell me about the boss behind the scenes. ”
"It was a few days after the new boss entered the factory, the employee wanted to go to the office in the factory to use the fax machine because of something, but when he came out, he saw a respectful Yamamoto accompanying a young man downstairs, and then he looked downstairs cautiously, and found that several bodyguards were surrounding a car, and there seemed to be a gun pinned to his waist, which frightened him, and he hid in the office and did not dare to come out, but at this time he remembered that the young man's name seemed to be Ichijo Masame."
"This is a playboy, so there are often scandals between him and some celebrities in magazines, and the most important thing is that this guy is still both male and female, so his reputation as an outsider in the entertainment industry is still quite big, but the fame here is almost all infamy, but he doesn't care about it, because he is already an outcast of a family to put it bluntly; As the first family to separate from the royal family, the Ichijo family is one of the earliest and most high-ranking nobles in the island country, but in modern times, the Ichijo family began to gradually dilute its existence. ”
"And although this one is from a family, his mother is just an ordinary person, so she is very unvalued in a family, after all, the other women who marry into a family are all born nobles, or emerging businessmen, so one day my descendants are not as good as those contemporaries who are born in a family; Later, one day when my father had a new love, he divorced my mother, and I was not allowed to live with my mother, who was only in elementary school at the time, after all, I was also a son-in-law no matter how I said it, and I would be able to inherit part of the family property in the future. ”
"But because of this, the relationship between Yi Zheng and my father has become very bad, basically I can't say a word all year round, but as a family with strict family rules, I can still get a lot of monthly money every month, which has become a Zheng I go out to spend all day drinking, and some people know the identity of a Zheng me, even if they know that he has no right to speak in the Yi Yi family, they will spare no effort to please him, So Ichijo slowly became a playboy and a regular visitor to gossip magazines. ”
"After learning about the situation of Ichijo Zhengme, although I really wanted to expel Ichijo from the family, I couldn't find a suitable excuse, because Ichijo was also very smart, and at the beginning it was in the name of pursuing true love, which made it difficult for Ichijo to attack him, and I was worried that Ichijo Zhengi would smear them in the media after leaving Ichijo's family, especially Ichijo's father, who was very worried that his son would tell the story of his abandonment and affect his status in the family."
"So, the attitude of a family to a positive self has become laissez-faire, the money that should be given every month will still be given, and a positive self needs to ensure that he will not use the name of a family to do things outside, but a positive I am very obedient, but his subordinates don't think so, so when the original boss of the factory was ready to sell the factory because of financial problems, one of my subordinates came over to buy it, and lowered the price in the name of a positive me. As a result, the factory was sold for less than half of the market price at the time. ”
"So, after Ichijomasa I learned about it, I hurriedly pushed out this subordinate of his, yes, this subordinate is Yamamoto; However, this factory at that time was still quite profitable, which was a good source of funds for me who still needed a family to make money, so I accepted the factory with peace of mind after compensating the original boss with a sum of money, but at that time, there were still many people who were ready to take the opportunity to hack him, so in the end, a family stood up and settled the matter. ”
Speaking of this, Satoshi Hashimoto glanced at Liu Xing and said: "Obviously, the Ichijo family must belong to the public faction, after all, the Ichijo family is one of the five families, and they have looked down on the martial family since ancient times, or they even look down on ordinary public families; But because of this, I don't think it's possible for a family to go undercover or do anything in the factory, because a family is still too confident, or too proud. ”
Liu Xing nodded, feeling that what Satoshi Hashimoto said was quite right, a great aristocrat like the Ichijo family, which has lasted for thousands of years, will more or less have their own pride, or should it be said to be arrogant, so it is normal for them not to arrange undercover agents in the factory, after all, they disdain to use such despicable means... Of course, it is also possible that they are worried that they will be publicized for doing so, and they will be jointly ridiculed by the other four families who are also members of the Five Families.
For some families and people, fame is more important to them than life.
However, although a family may not do it, it does not mean that I will not do it.
