"The old factory director? This... ”

Zhang Jingxu pondered for a moment, and then said: "I understand what you mean, do you think that the reason why the old factory director left the family and hid in this small factory in the suburbs is actually because he has an uncontrolled superpower, which can create a special space on a certain highway on a rainy night, so that people who strayed into this space are trapped in it?" ”

"yes, that's what I think."

Liu Xing said seriously: "In fact, we can extract a few key information from that urban legend - rainy nights and highways are necessary conditions to open this urban legend, so when the rainy night is over, this urban legend will be automatically closed; In addition, this urban legend will not hurt anyone in nature, but it has high requirements for people's psychological endurance, which shows that the masterminds behind this urban legend, whether they are humans or mythical creatures, they have no idea of hurting people, and their ability to create this urban legend is also uncontrollable, at least they can't choose to close it in advance. ”

"But the most important thing is that this urban legend is running around the suburbs of Nagoya, which shows that the mastermind behind the urban legend is afraid, he is afraid that if he has been making urban legends in the same place, then some secret churches or big families in the vicinity may target him, so he will go to different places every time to release his ability, so as not to let someone wait for the rabbit to catch him, after all, if his ability is used well, it can indeed work wonders at some time."

"And the reason why I am suspicious of the old factory director is mainly because of some strange operations in the past, the most important of which is why he came to work at this gas tank plant? It stands to reason that he could have found a better job, so the only reason I can think of is that this gas tanking plant is located in the suburbs of the suburbs! If the old factory manager is really the maker of this urban legend, then this factory in the suburbs is a good hiding place, as long as you run to the road on a rainy night to release your abilities, basically there is no need to worry about cars passing by, because this place is too remote. ”

However, with the continuous advancement of urbanization, Nagoya has become one of the three major urban areas of the island country, resulting in a large number of foreign population constantly pouring into Nagoya, and at the same time, Nagoya is also constantly merging with other surrounding cities, which has led to the natural gas tank plant originally located in the suburbs has become a suburb, and the number of vehicles passing around is also increasing, so even if the old factory director intends to release his ability on the seemingly impassable road, It is also impossible to predict whether someone will pass by before the end of his ability, so urban legends appear. ”

Speaking of this, Zhang Jingxu's mobile phone suddenly rang.

"Well, it seems that Liu Xing, you guessed correctly, this old factory director is very likely to be from the guard family of the Wushi family, and he is also the younger brother of the contemporary head of the family; A few decades ago, the head of the Konoe family hid Takako and named it Konoe Ryū, and this Konoe Ryo was nothing special until he grew up, if you don't look at his family background, then this Konoe Ryo is an ordinary person, but his brother Konoe is really a rare genius, he graduated from college at the age of sixteen, and returned to the family to help his father take care of various things after refusing to go on to higher education. ”

"Although there is such a genius brother who makes Konoe Ryo feel a lot of pressure, but Konoe Ryo and Konoe really have a very good relationship, because Konoe really has high hopes for his family after showing his talent, after all, although the Konoe family at that time was still nominally ranked first or second among the five photographers, but in fact, the Konoe family has declined, if there is no strong main force to turn the tide, then the Konoe family is likely to become the first family to fall out of the five families, This is a difficult fact for the Konoe family, who have always been accustomed to being a master. ”

"Therefore, Konoe Shin has lived in a high-pressure environment since he was a child, simply put, in addition to sleeping and eating time every day, Konoe Shin is either studying, or on the way to study, and at the same time, this also leads to the fact that the relationship between his peers in the family and him is not good, or he doesn't want to have anything to do with Konoe Shin at all, after all, the wood is beautiful in the forest, the wind will destroy it, the people are floating in the crowd, and the crowd will destroy it; Therefore, except for his younger brother Ryo Konoe, the other peers basically say hello when they see him, and then run away for a reason, so Konoe really has a very good relationship with Ryo Konoe. ”

But when Konoe really became the heir to the head of the Konoe family, Konoe Ryo who was still in college suddenly disappeared, and Konoe Ryo was studying at the University of Tokyo at that time, and that year was also the year when the old factory director entered the factory; Of course, because Konoe really became the next generation of family heads is already a sure thing, after all, all the descendants of the Konoe family, even those who don't like Konoe really voted for it, so it is unlikely that Konoe Zhen was worried that Konoe Ryo would covet his position, so Konoe Ryū's sudden disappearance became a mystery, and it was also a topic that the Konoe family forbade to mention. ”

"However, in recent years, because the Konoe family has gradually recovered under the leadership of Konoe Zhen, and has been able to rank third stably in the Wushi family, some of the Konoe family's wine bags and rice bags have become a little fluttery, and they like to go out to socialize with other family members when they have nothing to do, and then after drinking a few words, they began to run the train with their mouths full of mouths, so several members of the Konoe family's descendants mentioned why Konoe Ryo suddenly disappeared back then, and the reason was that someone actually wanted to give Konoe Zhen a black hand, Let the Konoe family slump from now on! ”

"At that time, in order to boost the morale of the Konoe family, and at the same time to announce to other families that their Konoe family would not fall so easily, so when it was determined that Konoe Zhen was the next head of the family, many families were invited to the banquet, and as a result, someone planned to poison Konoe Zhen at this banquet, but the poisonous wine was drunk by Konoe Liang, because Konoe Ryo and Konoe really have a good relationship, so good that Konoe Ryo can snatch the wine glass from his brother's hand at any time and drink it himself, after all, Konoe Zhen is under very much pressure, But it's also very good to get treated. ”

"Therefore, there were three grades of wine at the banquet at that time, among which the lowest grade wine must be for those who were not upper-class enough in the eyes of the Konoe family, that is, family members other than the Gosei family, and then the mid-range wine was for the ordinary members of the Goseshi family, as for the high-end wine, only the senior members of the Gosei family, such as the head of the family or the elders, could drink it, and of course, Konoe Zhen, who was the protagonist of the banquet, could also drink it; Therefore, Konoe Liang, who can only drink mid-range wine, is very curious about the taste of the high-end wine in Konoe Zhen's hand, and Konoe Ryo will definitely not refuse his younger brother. ”

So, this cup of poisoned wine that Konoe really drank went down to Konoe Ryū's stomach, and then it didn't take long for Konoe Ryo to feel that something was wrong, so he left the banquet early, and Konoe Zhen also temporarily left the table in order to take care of his good brother, and as a result, the poisoner mistakenly thought that his plan was only half successful, so he could only start the final step of the plan - playing the flute! That's right, that cup of poisonous wine is actually golden mead, because if the golden mead is poisoned, then there is basically no solution, unless you can determine the recipe of this cup of golden mead in a short time and find the right antidote materials. ”

"Of course, whether the golden mead will make people poison to death depends on the person, so Konoe Ryo was lucky not to have a direct dog leash, but the poisoner's mending knife followed-the poisoner directly played the flute to summon a Baiaki, and then sneaked into the room where Konoe Liang was resting, and didn't see if Konoe really hugged the Baiaki, and then let Baiaki take the confused Konoe Ryo to interstellar travel; Although this scene was seen by Konoe and several others, they could not stop the poisoner from escaping, after all, the poisoner was a ghoul. ”

"When Konoe Zhen and Konoe Ryū's father learned about this, they must have been furious at the time, but he also knew that the Konoe family today may not be able to find out the mastermind behind the poisoner, after all, there are too many families who come to the banquet, and there are many families that have a bad relationship with the Konoe family, so after discussing with several elders in the family, Konoe Zhen's father decided to put this matter down for the time being, and can only conduct a secret investigation, and the result is that this investigation is several decades, It's a pity that I still haven't found out whether the poisoner belonged to that family. ”

"Of course, some people suspect that the Konoe family has actually figured out the ins and outs of the matter, but the family to which the poisoner belongs is likely to belong to the same family as the Konoe family, so it is not easy for the Konoe family to turn their faces directly with this family, after all, the five family is actually from the same source, and they have been allies with each other for thousands of years, so it can be said that they are both prosperous and lossy... Of course, the five families must be eager for each other to fall into the middle of the family as soon as possible, after all, the five families share the same glory, and if there is one less person to share this glory, then the rest of the people will definitely be able to share more. ”

"in the same room will definitely make people laugh, so if the Konoe family can't find conclusive evidence to prove that it is a certain family's hand, then the Konoe family can only suffer this dumb loss, but judging from the situation in recent years, it is very likely that the Konoe family will really attack the family! That's right, it's the current boss behind the natural gas tank factory, the one Ichijo Ichijo is in, because in the last few years, the Konoe family has been acquiring the assets of the Ichijo family, and has broken off a lot of cooperation between the two sides, which has caused the Ichijo family to become the same decline as the Konoe family back then. ”

"As for Ryo Konoe, although ninety-nine percent of people believe that he has either died in outer space or is still on a planet light years away, there is a grapevine that Ryo Konoe has actually returned to Ryo Konoe's house a long time ago, but at this time, Ryo Konoe has undergone some irreversible changes due to interstellar travel, so he can only hide in a certain annex of the Rie family to survive; This is the story of Ryo Konoe, and if the old factory director is really Ryo Konoe, then many things can be explained. ”

Before Liu Xing could speak, Sawada Yoshida, who was driving, preemptively said: "Yes, if the old factory director is really Ryo Konoe, then the sequelae of his return from the universe back then, nine times out of ten, is to obtain a passive skill - as long as certain prerequisites are met, an endless space can be released on the road; Although this passive skill can be used as an almost invincible control skill if it is used well, the release conditions are still too harsh, and it has to be released, so Konoe Ryo will actively or passively choose to leave. ”

"I think that in addition to getting a passive skill, Konoe Ryo should have changed in some aspects, so Konoe Ryo took the initiative to choose to leave the Konoe family, because although the Konoe family was slightly declining at that time, it was not even enough to arrange a small manor for Konoe Ryo alone, not to mention that Konoe Ryo blocked this disaster for Konoe Zhen, so Konoe Zhen definitely wouldn't allow others to force his younger brother to leave the family; So Jeddah, you've met the old factory manager so many times, have you noticed anything special about him? Liu Xing asked.

Jida frowned and thought for a long time before shaking his head and saying: "Although I have been in contact with the old factory director many times, I really haven't found anything special about the old factory director, in my opinion, he is just an ordinary old man, and his usual dress is also very normal, and he doesn't deliberately hide anything... Wait, Mr. Meteor, call Satoshi Hashimoto again, I remember that he seemed to have told me some stories about the old factory director before, but I forgot about these stories that I wasn't very interested in, so I only remember that Satoshi Hashimoto said that the old factory director was very unlucky. ”

Bad luck?

Liu Xing raised his eyebrows and immediately called Satoshi Hashimoto.

Regarding the matter of the Konoe family, Liu Xing would definitely not tell Satoshi Hashimoto, so Liu Xing directly asked "Is the old factory director's luck very bad".

"That's right, the old factory director's luck is indeed very bad, every once in a while he will break the tip of the pen, or get rid of a few pieces of money on his body, and often screw the key off, so the old director's office and bedroom have been replaced with fingerprint locks; However, the old factory director's bad luck is bad, but the impact on him is not serious, but those who appear near him when the old factory director is unlucky may be affected by the pond fish. ”
