Although the empty ghost has already been killed in the game hall of the Cthulhu Run Group and is nicknamed the most popular mythical creature, Liu Xing and others know very well that the strength of the empty ghost is not comparable to that of the deep diver, ghoul and other humanoid mythical creatures, not to mention that this is still the home of the empty ghost, so Liu Xing and the others decisively chose not to entangle with the empty ghost too much, and left this special passage directly.

Fortunately, the exit of the special passage was already close at hand, so Liu Xing and the others left the special passage without running two steps and came to Shimazu Nakano's ward.

Looking at Liu Xing and the others who hurriedly walked out of the special passage, Shimazu Nakano in the ward first looked puzzled, and then hurriedly took down the long sword hanging in mid-air, and the special passage disappeared as a result.

"You've met an empty ghost, right?"

Shimazu Nakano said: "The special passage is a temporary path formed in the gap between the real world and other worlds, so if there are empty ghosts passing by in this vicinity, the empty ghosts will be easily attracted to it, but under normal circumstances, the empty ghosts cannot enter the special passages, because the wall of the special passage is actually a spell shield... So, have any of you touched this shield? ”

Liu Xing, who came out at the end, touched the back of his head and said a little embarrassedly: "That's right, I accidentally touched the shield, and as a result, the shield directly cracked a small opening, and the nearby empty ghosts tried to attack me through this small opening." ”

At this time, Yin En wanted to say something, but Liu Xing shook his head, saying that it was not necessary.

"I see, it seems that Nagano guy didn't tell you about the characteristics of this spell shield, in fact, this spell shield is very special, because 99% of its defense is placed outside, and the remaining 1% of 99% is placed at our feet, so the inner sides and top of this spell shield are very weak, as long as a little force can cause the spell shield to be damaged from the inside; But all in all, it was because that guy in Nagano didn't explain the situation clearly to you that you were almost attacked by the empty ghosts, so I'll arrange for that guy in Nagano to apologize to you later. Shimazu Nakano said with a sigh.

Shimazu Nakano said as he brought Liu Xing and the four to a table with hot tea already on it.

After everyone took their seats, Shimazu Nakano said again: "I believe that that kid from Nagano should have already told you all about the current situation, right?" But from what I know about him, there is a good chance that he didn't tell you that his cousin actually has a very good relationship with him, and the two of them grew up together, if it weren't for Nagano's kid who has a strong talent for ninjutsu, plus he is also willing to become the chief ninja of our Shimadzu family, otherwise there would be two people who came to make trouble for me today. ”

Shimazu Nakano raised his teacup and continued: "I'm sorry to let you come to the hospital to see me at such a late hour, but I'll pay you one first." ”

Liu Xing and the others hurriedly shook their heads and said, "Don't dare."

This basic etiquette still needs to be there.

However, Liu Xing kept slandering in his heart, this Shimazu Nakano is worthy of an old fox, and he directly controlled the rhythm of the conversation as soon as he came, and at the same time Liu Xing suspected that Shimazu Nagano did not forget to remind himself and his group about the situation of the special passage for a while, but Shimazu Nakano arranged it this way at the beginning, after all, as the chief ninja of the family, Shimazu Nagano must also be a thoughtful person in addition to his strength.

As for why Shimazu Nakano arranged it this way, the reason is, of course, that Shimazu Nakano wanted to gain the initiative in the dialogue at the beginning, because if his party passed through the special passage safely and soundly, then the first person to speak would definitely be Sawada Yayin, who was a junior, and then after his party greeted Shimazu Nakano one by one, Sawada Yayin could take the opportunity to cut to the point, so that his party could grasp the initiative.

But now, although Shimazu Nakano is asking for his own group, but after two or three sentences, Shimazu Nakano has put out his own generation by "counting down" Shimazu Nagano, and constantly uses "this guy" and "this kid" to strengthen this, so that Sawada Yayin, who is younger than Shimazu Nagano, is naturally lower than Shimazu Nakano, and Sawada Yayin is not good to say anything about this, after all, this is also a fact.

Therefore, unless Sawada Yayin is ready to turn against Shimazu Nakano, Sawada Yayin will have to be a junior in front of Shimazu Nakano.

Thinking of this, Liu Xing glanced at Sawada Yayin and found that although Sawada Yayin was smiling at this time, he could see that Sawada Yayin had a trace of depression in his eyes.

Sure enough, the ginger is still old and spicy.

Maybe that empty ghost was arranged by Shimazu Nakano to act.

Liu Xing sighed in his heart, and could only hope that Shimazu Nakano would not have his brain drawn and wanted to go further, after all, Sawada Yayin is really not the kind of person who is willing to suffer.

"Mr. Nakano, may I ask you what you plan to do now? If the situation allows, our Sawada family will definitely be able to help. Sawada said with a smile.

Shimazu Nakano nodded, and said seriously: "My previous idea was actually very simple, that is, to declare that I was safe tomorrow, but I didn't recover from one breath before I fell into a coma for a while, and then I used the excuse of recuperating my injuries to give my share." The cake was slice out so that some people could be silenced, and I believe they knew that it wasn't a good idea to kick our Shimazu family out right now, but when Nagano came back to visit me, he mentioned that he had met a member of the Sawada family in Nagoya, so I thought of your friend, Princess Taketori, Miss Sawada. ”

At present, Sawada Yayin declares that Taketori is her friend, so Taketori will always be resident at Sawada's house.

"Mr. Nakano, do you mean to let Taketori heal your injuries?" Sawada said with an eyebrow.

I have to say that Liu Xing thinks this is indeed a good idea, because Taketori is also an ancient god no matter how he says it, so it is normal for Taketori to be able to cure Shimazu Nakano, not to mention that the relationship between the Shimazu family and the Sawada family is already good, and it is even more normal for Taketori to do it.

Shimazu Nakano nodded with a smile and said: "My idea is this, to heal my injuries through Princess Taketori, this is the best and fastest way I can think of now, and this can also make Princess Taketori's reputation rise again, after all, in our world, it is not difficult to solve a person, but it is not easy to save people." ”

Sawada Yayin shook his head and said seriously: "That's true, but after this matter gets out, even if the people of other forces don't doubt the authenticity of this matter, they will definitely bring the wounded to Taketori for help, and if Taketori can't cure these wounded at that time, then our Sawada family and your Shimazu family will be affected, and then our two families will not have a good time in the samurai faction; In addition, I think Mr. Nakano, you actually mistook the relationship between the priority and the priority of this incident, because other people don't care if your injury is healed or not, but want to know how you got hurt, after all, the reason for your injury that the Shimazu family is announcing to the public is really not convincing at all. ”

Hearing Sawada Yayin say this, Shimazu Nakano couldn't help but fall into silence, while Liu Xing and the others were drinking tea with their eyes and noses, and they didn't say a word.

As Sawada Yayin said, even if Shimazu Nakano stands up unharmed tomorrow and announces that he has been cured by the "great old god" Taketori, it won't be long before people from other forces stand up and ask Shimazu Nakano how he got injured, because no one believes that Shimazu Nakano would fall and be injured so inexplicably.

The most important thing is that the missing "Shimazu family member" will also become a killer weapon in the hands of other forces, if Shimazu Nakano can't come up with a reason that can completely convince the public, then other forces will definitely take this "missing Shimazu family member" to talk about it, because even if Shimazu Nakano has taken the initiative to give up part of the Shimazu family's profits, there will be forces who want to ask for more.

After a long time, Shimazu Nakano said a little decadently: "In the end, I was too careless in this matter, I didn't expect that the public faction would send someone to find my nephew abroad, or I still believe too much in my previous arrangement for my nephew... Originally, my nephew should have come back by plane before the battle of Gongwu, but although it didn't matter what he was responsible for, it would be a pity to miss the time, so I arranged a few bodyguards for him, and tried to hide his whereabouts, but I didn't expect him to be caught by the public faction, but I really didn't expect the public faction to be so willing, and I'd rather give up that notebook than calculate me. ”

Note?

Liu Xing and others, who were originally drinking tea with peace of mind, keenly caught the word "note", which made Liu Xing and others can't help but look at Shimazu Nakano.

Obviously, it is not difficult to hear one thing from Shimazu Nakano's sentence - compared to using the members of the Shimazu family to calculate himself, in fact, that notebook is more important.

Of course, this is only for Shimazu Nakano.

However, it can be seen that the notebook should be a bit of a statement.

Of course, the most important thing is that since Shimazu Nakano has mentioned this notebook, it is very likely that this notebook is the reward that Shimazu Nakano is preparing to give to his group, otherwise Shimazu Nakano would not need to mention this notebook at all and emphasize the importance of this notebook.

So, Sawada Yayin took the opportunity to say: "Oh, then may I ask Mr. Nakano, what is the origin of this notebook, and it is worthy of you to value it so much, Mr. Nakano?" ”

Shimazu Nakano saw that Sawada Yayin was so good, so he didn't sell it anymore, and directly took out a palm-sized notebook wrapped in black leather from his pocket, which looked a bit like something for decades.

To be honest, this made Liu Xing and others a little disappointed, because Liu Xing and others thought that this notebook, which made Shimazu Nakano so valuable, must have a history of at least a few hundred years, and it was left by a famous and surnamed big man, and the content recorded on it would not be a running account within "what you ate today" and "how much you lost playing cards yesterday".

"Well, I know that this notebook doesn't look very good, it's kind of like the kind of notebook that every stationery store has, of course it's the kind of notebook sold in stationery stores, but the owner of this notebook is not ordinary, he is a doctoral student at Miskatonik University, and he has traveled to many places with his supervisor, and the most important thing is that his mentor is a study of the occult." Shimazu Nakano spoke.

Hearing Shimazu Nakano say this, Liu Xing and the others immediately became interested.

Although this is just the note of a PhD student in occult science at Miskatonik University, not his supervisor's note, considering the "fine tradition" of Miskatonik University's penchant for organizing expeditions everywhere, I believe that this doctoral student should have followed his supervisor everywhere, so the content recorded in his notebook should be interesting, because the content recorded in personal notes like this will be more "exciting".

After all, in the official report, some "unreasonable" things will be automatically deleted.

"The owner of this notebook is named Eric, and his mentor is Professor Frank of Miskatonik University, this Professor Frank is the most famous and outstanding professor of occultism at Miskatonik University at that time, because he has participated in many expeditions organized by the school, and each time he can get out of the way, and from time to time there will be major discoveries, but unfortunately Professor Frank disappeared with Eric and several other students three years ago, but they did not disappear during the expedition, Instead, it suddenly disappeared in Professor Frank's lab. ”

"Professor Frank's laboratory is in the northwest corner of Miskatonic University, where in addition to a large library, there are many laboratories of professors of occultism, archaeology and geology, but the laboratory, in fact, is a professional warehouse, which is full of all kinds of strange things brought back by the expedition of Miskatonic University over the years, so Eric's notebook contains a lot of interesting things; Back to the point, Professor Frank's lab is located in a real corner of the area. ”

"Professor Frank had just completed an expedition and brought back a lot of things that were 'interesting' to him, so he immediately told all his students to visit and study these things in his laboratory, and two weeks later, one of the students' parents happened to be passing by Miskatonik University, so they wanted to see their son, but they couldn't get in touch with him."
