Looking at Liu Xing and the others, who were a little reluctant, Dior said with a smile: "Talking about money hurts feelings, so the salary that we pay you by the Duwang Town Protection Association is definitely not settled in money, but with some things we brought from Huaxia and may not be able to be used again now, such as a short sword that sharpens iron like clay." ”

Dio said as he pulled out an unsheathed dagger from his sleeve.

As long as he glanced at this short sword, Liu Xing felt that everyone would think that this was a sword that could sharpen iron like clay, because this short sword was really sharp, and the cold light emitted made Liu Xing feel that his eyes were a little unable to look directly.

Dio didn't talk nonsense, he hung the short sword directly on the table, and then as soon as he let go of the short sword, he directly pierced the table until the hilt of the sword stuck on the table.

"This short sword was forged many years ago by a swordsmith who did not want to be named, and as a result, many secret churches came to rob it, and he was forced to come to Duwang Town to become a fruit wholesaler, and this short sword has been kept by him." Dio opened his mouth and introduced: "This short sword is a reward paid to you in advance, and when the time comes, our Duwang Town Protection Association will give you the rest of the benefits according to the actual situation." ”

Liu Xing looked at Dior with some surprise, but he didn't expect the Duwang Town Protection Association to offer such a high salary, which was completely beyond Liu Xing's imagination.

Although it hasn't been used yet, judging from the current performance of this short sword, its damage bonus must be at least a 2d4.

Of course, the most important thing is that the length of this short sword is only about fifty centimeters, and it is quite convenient to carry it, so you don't need to worry too much about not being able to hold it.

However, Liu Xing noticed that something seemed to be wrong with Dior's face.

There's something wrong with this dagger!

Liu Xing raised his eyebrows and decided to open his mouth to test Dior, "Mr. Dior, we have been old friends for so many years, so you should tell me the truth, what are the flaws in this short sword?" ”

If there were no flaws in this short sword, Liu Xing felt that the Duwang Town Protection Association would not be rich enough to give this short sword to the three of them, after all, the three of them were just temporary chengguan.

What's more, the members of the Duwang Town Protection Association are basically Huaxia people, and according to the news that Liu Xing heard from Zhang Jingxu, most of the relevant NPCs on the Huaxia side are taking the route of cold weapons and enchantments, so there should be many people in the Duwang Town Protection Association who can use this short sword.

Although the length of this short sword will be a bit of a disadvantage against those mythical creatures with long hands, it will not go unnoticed.

Looking at the serious Liu Xing, Dio could only sigh and say, "Okay, there are indeed some problems with this short sword... Because the material used in this short sword is relatively special, this short sword will only achieve the effect of sharpening iron like mud when it falls vertically under the action of terrain gravity, and it is usually an ordinary short sword. ”

Liu Xing and the three looked at Dior speechlessly, they didn't expect this short sword to be so strange, and they could only exert their greatest strength when doing free fall sports.

So the question is, does this short sword have a chance to exert its full strength in actual combat?

I'm afraid the answer is no, because in Liu Xing's impression, he has never encountered an opportunity to use the sword technique that descends from the sky.

After all, he is not an Assasin who can assassinate in the air...

Therefore, Liu Xing looked at Dio with a little disgust and said: "Mr. Dior, your Duwang Town Protection Association is too insincere, we have one thing to say, this short sword has no use for it at all, because I can't let him wait downstairs first when I fight with others, I'll go to the roof and throw this short sword down, right?" ”

Dio said with an embarrassed face: "That's true, but I just said that these things are things that our Duwang Town Protection Association can't use for the time being, so I can use them to pay you... That's right, this short sword needs to meet some harsh conditions if it wants to exert its due strength, but it is much more powerful than most cold weapons of the same type when it usually uses qi... And we've got enough, and we'll give you at least four more similar things when the time comes. ”

Liu Xing nodded, reluctantly agreeing with Dior's statement.

Something is better than nothing.

At this time, Li Hanxing picked up the short sword and gestured twice, and said: "That's right, the sharpness of this short sword has already surpassed the cold weapons I used to use before, and it feels pretty good." ”

Since Li Hanxing had hinted at it like this, Liu Xing naturally pushed the boat and handed over the short sword to Li Hanxing to use.

"Okay, then I'll go first now, I have to go to the headquarters of the Duwang Town Conservation Association to attend a meeting at this time, and then decide on the patrol route and the person in charge of the area, and I'll call you if there is a result then."

Just as Dio got up to leave, he suddenly turned around and said, "By the way, I almost forgot to tell you one thing, that is, do you know that there is an incident that happened in Osaka - the two-dimensional gate?" ”

The Gate of the Second Dimension?

Li Hanxing and Sun Huiwen shook their heads blankly, while Liu Xing nodded and said after thinking for a moment: "You said that there is a secret church in Osaka that is trying to attract those otaku to join the association in the name of the second dimension, right?" ”

Dior looked at Liu Xing with some surprise and said, "Oh, is there such a thing?" In this case, the secret church should have something to do with the two-dimensional gate incident. ”

Dior came back and sat down again, took out his phone and played a video.

In the video, a young man with obesity and vague feet is on the lawn of a park, surrounded by many people who are walking their dogs, and he is a little out of place in the background of these people, and the person who shot the video calls this person an otaku, and discusses with his friends what this otaku is doing on the lawn of this park instead of staying at home.

At this moment, the otaku suddenly knelt directly on his knees, kowtowed to a big tree in front of him, and muttered something in his mouth, but because the photographer and friends were amused by the otaku's actions, the laughter overshadowed the otaku's voice.

But Liu Xing can still hear two words, "two-dimensional" and "door".

After a while, the otaku stood up, and then somehow took out a piece of rope from there and hung it on the branch.

Seeing this, the photographer and the surrounding onlookers realized what this otaku wanted to do, so someone immediately wanted to go up and persuade and stop the otaku from thinking about it.

As a result, seeing that someone wanted to get close and stop him, the otaku made a slipknot in three strokes and divided five by two, and hurriedly hung himself up.

Seeing this, the people around immediately rushed forward, after all, this is a living person.

But just when these people were about to meet the otaku, the rope hanging from the otaku seemed to be overwhelmed and broken... However, when the otaku was about to land, a purple vortex suddenly appeared on the ground.

Then, the otaku vanished into thin air.

Although many people under this video think that this is a funny video, and the special effects level of the video is only worth five cents, Liu Xing and others know that all this is real.

Of course, Liu Xing knows the most among everyone here.

Therefore, Liu Xing told everything he heard when he was in Osaka.

"I'll go, is there still such a secret church?"

After listening to Liu Xing's story, Li Hanxing said with some tears and laughter: "Now these emerging secret churches are really keeping pace with the times and have begun to learn to live, and they are all recruiting believers in the name of the second dimension. ”

Sun Huiwen on the side said thoughtfully: "Actually, this is indeed a good idea, because the current number of otaku in the island country has reached a certain scale, and these people are quite easy to fool, but the most important thing is that other secret churches will not run out to grab business, so this is a blue ocean market." ”

Liu Xing nodded, sighed and said, "Yes, it is obvious that this secret church has made the right bet, they have successfully created a fanatical believer, and this fanatical believer can be regarded as a good example for other believers... ”

Speaking of this, Liu Xing paused and shook his head and said: "This is not good news, to say something bad here, the vast majority of the otaku in the island country have certain psychological problems, so the quality of this group of people may not be as good as the believers of other secret churches, but they are more easily converted into fanatical believers." ”

Dio also sighed and said: "Yes, during my time in the island country, I have not heard that those otaku have caused some big news because of psychological problems, and in terms of the current public opinion in the island country, these otaku have been deliberately marginalized, resulting in more and more such incidents, and the emergence of this secret church may make all this more extreme... Why don't you Liu Xing go and tell the martial arts faction and let them go to that secret church? ”

Liu Xing shook his head and said seriously: "Actually, we have thought so, but this secret church is very cautious, and it can even be said that it is too cautious, and it has not shown any horses until now, if nothing else, we have not found the location of the headquarters of this secret church... However, according to our research, the main purpose of this secret church is to create gods, so they probably won't let their fanatical followers go out and make trouble. ”

"God-making?" The three of Dior all said with shocked faces.

Li Hanxing took a sip of water, stared at Liu Xing and said, "Is this secret church playing so wildly?" They want to create a god themselves? ”

Before Liu Xing could speak, Dio touched his chin and said: "Although the success rate of this kind is not high, it is not impossible, because there have indeed been several precedents of believing in gods in the real world, which proves that ordinary human beings have the opportunity to ascend with a large amount of faith power, comparable to the old rulers and the ancient gods... However, it can be compared, but the strength of this type of artificial god is still lacking, and it will be weaker than the genuine gods in all aspects, and I heard that this kind of artificial god has basically hidden in the fantasy dream. ”

Looking at Liu Xing and the three of them, who were a little puzzled, Dio continued to explain: "You should all know that the laws in the dream realm are very different from the real world, and those artificial gods can be said to be like fish in water in the dream world, because they are also a kind of consciousness collection in a sense, so they can narrow the gap with the genuine gods in the dream world, and those artificial gods in history are from the dream world. ”

Hearing this, Liu Xing suddenly thought of a possibility.

That is, the old ruler behind Ii Naoraku and others is likely to be an artificial god, or an unfinished artificial god... That is, this so-called two-dimensional god.

Judging from the current situation, although the one behind Jing Yi Naoraku and others is called the Old Dominator, in the eyes of Liu Xing, a player in the game hall of the Cthulhu Running Group, it is not compatible with the Old Dominator in his impression, and his behavior is also a little bit like the Old Dominator.

In Liu Xing's impression, although some of the old rulers can only command behind the scenes because of the seal, they will not be incognito, and the believers will be happy to do things under their banner, but the "old ruler" behind Jing Yi Naole and others is not like this; And then there are those sealed Old Rulers, although their eyesight is impaired, their abilities are still very terrifying, and it is still easy to deal with mythical creatures like Shimada Laugh, so if they are willing, it is impossible for Shimada Laugh to get rid of the influence of that "Old Dominator".

Therefore, Liu Xing suddenly felt that the "old ruler" standing behind Jing Yi Naoraku and others was very likely to be a half-finished artificial god, so he never dared to stand up and do things in a bright way.

And this "old ruler" may be the so-called two-dimensional god, and wants to use these otaku in the island country to complete the last step of his ascension.

The more Liu Xing thought about it, the more he felt that this possibility became.

"Okay, that's pretty much the point, I'll go first now." Dio got up again and said, "But then again, don't forget to spy on Bai Liang, because the situation is tense now, so Bai Liang and the others are listed as the focus of attention." ”

Dio finished and left.

After Dior left, Li Hanxing and Sun Huiwen began to play PS4 in the living room, while Liu Xing watched the excitement while thinking about whether his ideas were reliable.

As a result, it didn't take long for Zhang Jingxu's phone to call.
