Chapter 600: Unexpected Joy
But then again, Jun Hashimoto really cheated these three of his classmates this time, after all, as long as he is a normal person, even if he is a fanatic of the Cthulhu Mythos, he will not be willing to participate in this Cthulhu Run game hall where his life is at stake.
Who would be so desperate?
Back to the topic, Zhang Jingxu opened his mouth and said: "Okay, let's talk about the Soul Eater again, first of all, the Soul Eater is actually not terrible, although its ability seems to be very powerful, and it is also unguardable, but as long as you keep your attention, then the Soul Eater will have nothing to do with you... Unless, of course, you're unlucky enough to throw a big miss. ”
Tatsuo Yamada nodded, and said with a happy face: "I see, I was scared when I entered the mod and saw this plot, why did I come and let us participate in a ceremony to summon demons, although I don't know much about the Cthulhu Mythos, but I also know how terrible these mythical creatures are, so when Tian Keya had an accident, I thought I was dead, after all, I thought that the attack of the Soul Eater could not be stopped at all... ”
If he didn't understand the abilities of the Soul Eater, Liu Xing would also feel that the Soul Eater was an inexplicable existence.
After all, Soul Eaters can kill invisibly.
"At that time, as long as you do what you planned before, even if you can't kill the Soul Eater, you can directly drive away the Soul Eater, and then your task will be completed, but then again, it's not good that we mess into your mod, that is, you may miss some of the original plot of the mod, because according to the original plot of the mod, before the Eater of Souls attacks you, you should meet an NPC who understands the situation of the Eater of Souls, so let's participate in this, Maybe you won't meet that NPC. ”
Of course, Zhang Jingxu didn't say it completely.
According to the research of players in the Tyndaros Hound area, it was found that in the first three mods, the key NPCs that the player knew were the most closely related to him, and even when he arrived in the Tyndaros Hound area, these NPCs would contact him and help him... Of course, if those NPCs are still around.
So Zhang Jingxu is a little worried now, because the indiscriminate entry of his group will cause Hashimoto Jun and others to miss their key NPCs, and Hashimoto Jun and others may encounter unnecessary difficulties in the module because of this in the future...
Liu Xing understood what Zhang Jingxu was thinking now, so Liu Xing said with a smile: "So Hashimoto Jun, can you think now, among the NPCs you know, who might know about the existence of the Soul Eater?" ”
After the four of them pondered for a moment, Hashimoto Jun spoke: "I really know that an NPC may know about the existence of the Soul Eater, and I don't know the specific name of that NPC, because he is a netizen I met on a website related to Onmyoji, so I only know that the name he used on that website is Rashomon; Because that website was only established by a group of netizens who were interested in yin-yang, I also visited that website with the mentality of watching the excitement at the beginning, after all, as a professional, it is quite interesting to watch these amateurs discuss yin-yang. ”
"But I soon found out that Rashomon is a little different from other netizens, because Rashomon has accumulated more basic knowledge of yin and yang than me, so I became interested in Rashomon, and then in a certain post, because it involved some internal information of yin and yang, so outsiders misunderstood this part of the information, so Rashomon had an argument with other people in that post, and then I couldn't help but stand up and help Rashomon speak, and then I became friends with Rashomon, And he and I both know that the other party is a real Yin and Yang family heir. ”
"Of course, I was born in a declining Onmyoji family, but this Rashomon I can tell that he should be a member of a genuine Onmyoji family, because he has much more knowledge of Onmyoji than me, and he once subdued a mythical creature, although his uncle was there to assist at the time... However, I once heard Rashomon say that he also has a certain understanding of foreign mythical creatures, so if nothing else, the original plot of this mod was for me to go to Rashomon to learn about the Soul Eater. ”
Hearing this, Liu Xing and the others were also relieved, because now that Hashimoto Jun had made contact with Rashomon, the incurrence of his party should not have much impact on Hashimoto Chun.
Moreover, Jun Hashimoto, as the boss of their foursome, is the backbone of their small group, so as long as Jun Hashimoto doesn't have any major problems, then this small group will have no problems.
But then again, Liu Xing is now very interested in this "Rashomon".
The most primitive meaning of Rashomon refers to the gate located in "Luocheng (the outer Guo of the city)", that is, the meaning of "Beijing Gate", but because of the perennial war in the ancient island country, the corpses are everywhere, so there are many nameless dead bodies are dragged to the city tower and discarded, and because Rashomon is in disrepair for a long time, it will appear more desolate and gloomy after decay, so the longer the driver, the more terrifying and ghostly the impression of Rashomon in the eyes of people, so Rashomon has become a ghost gate to hell.
Therefore, in the Heian period when the hundred ghosts walked at night, Rashomon became the main place where the hundred ghosts gathered, and among them, there was a very famous youkai - Ibaraki Boy was undoubtedly the boss of Rashomon, because Ibaraki Boy was attached to Rashomon.
Then the point came, these famous ghosts and monsters in the island country couldn't escape a fate in the end, that is, they were retreated by those onmyoji of the island country.
So, who is the onmyoji of the retired Ibaraki boy?
Abe's eyes are clear.
Therefore, Liu Xing suspects that this "Rashomon" is likely to be the descendant of Amper's eye.
If "Rashomon" is really the descendant of Abe Eye, then Hashimoto Junko can be regarded as hugging his thighs, after all, in this parallel world set in the Cthulhu Mythos, Abe Eyeaki can be regarded as a great magician-level existence no matter how you say it.
Maybe Abe is still alive in this world in some state.
Therefore, Liu Xing felt that Hashimoto Chun's luck was really good, and he was able to have such a reliable NPC friend... Of course. In the world of the Cthulhu Run game, everything has advantages and disadvantages, so Liu Xing feels that Hashimoto Jun will go with that "Rashomon" to retreat from the mythical creature in the future, and that mythical creature should also be a famous ghost in the history of the island country.
At this time, Ishikawa Ling on the side spoke: "When it comes to Rashomon, people often think of Ibaraki Boy, and then naturally think of Abe Eye, so if nothing else, Hashimoto Jun, your netizen is likely to be related to Abe Eye, so Hashimoto Jun, you have to contact this netizen well in the future, because this is a real big guy." ”
To the surprise of Liu Xing and others, Hashimoto Jun shook his head and said: "No, no, no, in fact, I think this netizen of mine may not be the descendant of Abe Eye, because the story of Rashomon and Ibaraki Boy, in addition to involving Abe Eye, there is actually a famous historical figure." ”
"Jun Hashimoto, are you talking about Tsuna Watanabe?" Zhang Jingxu opened his mouth and said.
Hashimoto Jun nodded and continued: "Watanabe Tsunade is a retainer of Minamoto Yorimitsu, and he is also a famous samurai, he made a bet with his friends one night whether he could walk through Suzaku Avenue without encountering ghosts, after all, in that era of night walking by a hundred ghosts, it was really monsters walking all over the streets, and there were as many monsters as dogs... As a result, Watanabe Tsunade was really targeted by the Ibaraki Boy.,So the Ibaraki Boy turned into a lost beauty and asked Watanabe Tsunade to send her home.,And Watanabe Tsunabe was naturally fooled.,But in the end, when the Ibaraki Boy attacked Watanabe Tsuna, Watanabe Tsunade finally reacted and dodged the Ibaraki Boy's killer blow.,And then one person and one ghost were in a mess.,In the end, Watanabe Tsunade was even better.,Won.,And he pulled out a knife and cut off one of Ibaraki's arms., Since then, the famous knife mustache cut in Watanabe Tsunada's hand has also become a ghost cut. ”
"Then at this time, Abe Eye Ming appeared, because Watanabe Tsunade presented the broken arm of the Ibaraki boy to his lord Yuan Yorimitsu, and the source of Yorimitsu was handed over to Abe Eye Ming to be responsible for divination, and then Abe Eye knew the existence of the Ibaraki Boy, so he asked Watanabe Tsunabe to keep the broken arm for seven days, and as a result, on the sixth day, Watanabe Tsunabe was designed by the Ibaraki Boy to take away the broken arm, and then returned to his lair, and then there were those things that were not recorded in the folk tales."
In order to be able to get rid of future troubles, Abe Eyeaki took Watanabe Tsunade to the Ibaraki Boy's lair, wanting to completely solve the Ibaraki Boy, but at this time he met the boss of the Ibaraki Boy - the Wine Swallowing Boy, and this Wine Swallowing Boy is one of the three monsters of the island country, and its strength can be seen, so Abe Eye Aki and Watanabe Tsunade did not get any benefits under the Ibaraki Boy and the Wine Swallow Boy, so they could only choose to reach a verbal agreement with the Wine Swallow Boy, That is, so that the Ibaraki boy can never do evil in the capital again, and the Ibaraki boy asks Watanabe Tsunade to hand over the oni to it. ”
"Because for these ghosts in the island country, they are immune to certain types of damage, so if you want to cause damage to them, you must use targeted attacks and weapons, so big monsters like Ibaraki Boy, in addition to the top Onmyoji using spells to retreat, can be said to have very few weapons that can hurt them, so Ibaraki Tsunade will ask Watanabe Tsunade for Oni Cut, because Ibaraki Boy doesn't want to be hurt by Ghost Cut in the future, so in the end, Watanabe Tsunade can only hand over Oni Cut to Ibaraki Boy, And Rashomon mentioned in the comments on his social account that he wanted to get back the things of his ancestors. ”
Hearing Jun Hashimoto say this, Liu Xing and others also felt that this "Rashomon" was likely to be the descendant of Tsunade Watanabe.
Although the fame of this Watanabe Tsunade is not as good as Abe's eye, it can be regarded as the number one person, and although the island country has been in constant war, the island country is not like Huaxia, a son of heaven and a courtier, many famous families can not survive a dynasty, and the family that can really be regarded as a family that has continued from ancient times to the present day is only the Qufu Kong family.
The island countries are different, because most of the time they pay attention to the trouble of their families, and they will not be like Huaxia who will connect the nine ethnic groups at every turn, so many Chinese ethnic groups in the island countries have been at least hundreds of years old.
Of course, Liu Xing feels that the reason for this situation is also very simple, that is, the island country is sparsely populated, the population is a rare resource, and the ancient cultural people of the island country are all from major families, so this is even more unaffordable.
In addition, the land of the island country is a little bigger, and there are more people, so those powerful families don't need to worry that those families who have lost power will go to that remote area to recruit troops and make a comeback.
But the topic seems to be far away again...
Liu Xing shook his head and said, "By the way, Hashimoto Jun, do you know anything about the Tokyo Sky Tree explosion?" ”
At this time, Tatsuo Yamada reacted and exclaimed: "Ah, I remember, Mr. Zhang Jingxu, you appeared in the news of the Sky Tree explosion, when you just left the Tokyo Sky Tree, and the Tokyo Sky Tree exploded directly. ”
Liu Xing shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile: "If we were in the real world, we wouldn't be able to avoid this explosion, but then again, do you know the nickname of a thousand people and a thousand faces?" ”
Jun Hashimoto and others all changed their faces when they heard the words "thousands of people and thousands of faces", and it seems that Jun Hashimoto and they are also the "internal beta players" of the mobile game.
This was a bonus.
After a while, Tatsuo Yamada spoke: "If you are talking about the thousand people and thousands of faces in the mobile game that has been 404, then we still really know each other, because our first mod is related to this thousand people and thousands of faces, and we were already senior players of that mobile game at that time, and then we accepted a commission from thousands of people and thousands of faces to bring a large leather case from Fukushima to Tokyo, and finally put it in a van in a parking lot in Shinjuku Ward. And that large leather case gave off a rotting smell of meat from the start, and occasionally a strange moaning sound. ”
Surprise!
Liu Xing can be sure that the big leather box that Tatsuo Yamada and they transported was filled with thousands of people and thousands of faces!
At this moment, Liu Xing has a way to pass the news of thousands of people and thousands of faces in Shinjuku District to the Great Lake Hayabusa.
Jun Hashimoto saw that Liu Xing and the others didn't look right, so he immediately guessed something, "Uh, is that big leather box filled thousands of people and thousands of faces?" And that Thousand People and Thousand Faces is also a mythical creature? ”
Liu Xing nodded and said, "That's right, that big leather box contains thousands of people and thousands of faces, and thousands of people and thousands of faces are now a sickle!" ”
