Could it be that people from other forces are preparing to take action against Taketori?

Liu Xing thought about it carefully and felt that there was really such a possibility, and the reason was very simple, that is, Taketori would go to "save" Shimazu Nakano tomorrow.

If something happens to Taketori before this, then Shimazu Nakano will naturally have to continue to pretend to be sick and continue to lie in the hospital thinking about life, which is not good news for Shimazu Nakano, after all, Shimazu Nakano stays in the hospital for one more day, so the Shimazu family has one more chance of being overtaken by other forces.

Therefore, Liu Xing thinks that it is very likely that other forces will speculate that Taketori will become Shimazu Nakano's "attending physician" nine times out of ten after learning the news that his group went to "visit" Shimazu Nakano overnight, so some forces that are dissatisfied with the Shimazu family, or even the Sawada family, will stand up and attack Taketori, because for them, if the attack plan is successful, then not only the Shimazu family will be affected, but even the Sawada family will be kicked out of the ten major spheres of influence of the samurai faction by the way. After all, the reason why the Sawada family was able to rank among the top ten forces of the samurai faction was because there was an ancient god named Taketori in the family.

So as long as everything goes well, for those forces, it is equivalent to two more cakes at once.

Thinking of this, Liu Xing told Taketori his thoughts.

"Although I am nominally an ancient god, in reality I am not much different from you humans, so even ordinary firearms can deal effective damage to me, so these guys really don't need to make too many special preparations if they want to ambush and attack me, but do they really dare to attack me in Osaka Castle?" Taketori said with a frown.

Liu Xing thought for a while, nodded and said: "It stands to reason that from Sawada Manor to the hospital where Shimazu Nakano is located, this road is the key control section of the samurai faction, because the outer circle of Osaka is basically no longer inhabited by ordinary people, so the public faction wants to sneak in here and launch an attack on us, which does not seem very reliable, and the discerning person knows at a glance that this is someone pretending to be a public faction against us, so if this attack is successful, then the forces that did not participate in the attack may choose to acquiesce, After all, this is also good for them, but if the attack fails, then the forces that organized the attack may be unlucky. ”

Taketori sighed, touched his chin and said: "I didn't expect that now the battle of Gongwu has not yet been decided, and some people have begun to want to share the cake in advance, you humans are really a little greedy, and you are really bold enough to dare to attack the legendary gods, you must know that more than a few hundred years ago, I have never heard of humans there, and even mythical creatures dared to do something to the ancient gods." ”

Liu Xing shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile: "People's hearts are not enough to swallow elephants, this is actually very normal, not to mention that there are several secret churches among the ten major forces of our martial arts faction, and behind these secret churches stand all kinds of mythical creatures, and these mythical creatures must know very well about the ancient gods of Taketori, so why don't they dare to order those secret churches to do something to you?" And I suspect they have another purpose. ”

Taketori frowned, and said, "Liu Xing, you mean that this group of mythical creatures thinks that I am still connected to other ancient gods, or that I am the spokesperson sent by other ancient gods to the real world, communicating with humans on their behalf?" So they want to take this opportunity to find out if there are other ancient gods hidden around me? ”

Liu Xing nodded and replied affirmatively: "That's right, although the battle of Gongwu is very important for the secret churches of the two forces, but for the mythical creatures behind these secret churches, it is also like that, because even if the secret church they support becomes history, it will not hurt their muscles and bones for them, and it is a big deal to support another secret church again, but Taketori you are different for them, after all, their masters, those old rulers are all sealed by you ancient gods, So Taketori and these mythical creatures are naturally hostile, and I suspect that these mythical creatures will see you as the key to unlocking the seals of those old rulers. ”

Speaking of this, Liu Xing paused and continued: "The main purpose, or the only purpose, of those mythical creatures that are active on the earth today is to lift the seals on some of the old rulers, and they have been busy for so many years without any progress, which will make them involuntarily hit the idea on the ancient gods of Taketori, because we have an ancient saying in Huaxia that is good - to untie the bell, you must tie the bell. ”

What Liu Xing didn't expect was that Taketori's brows furrowed even tighter when he heard the seven words "The bell must be tied to the bell".

This made Liu Xing also subconsciously frown, could it be that he just said it casually and got to the point?

This made Liu Xing dare not say anything more, lest Taketori feel that he "knows too much"...

After a while, Taketori sighed and said: "I have now regarded Liu Xing as my own person, so I'll tell you the truth, those old rulers who have been sealed, ninety-nine percent can break the seal with their own strength, but it will take a long time to recover their strength, and when the strength of these old rulers recovers to a certain level, they can move freely within the scope of the sealed land, and even contact their families through special means, Or create one or more clones to leave the Sealed Lands to roam freely, most notably Hasta and Grachi. ”

"However, every move of these old rulers is watched by our ancient gods, so when necessary, we will send people to seal these old rulers twice, of course, although this is called a secondary seal, in fact, it only delays the speed of those old rulers to break the seal to a certain extent, which is a palliative rather than a cure, and sometimes we also take in one or two ancient gods; In fact, Liu Xing, you should be able to find a problem here-since our ancient gods can enter the sealed land of these old rulers, then this means that there is a 'secret door' in the sealed land of these old rulers. ”

Hearing this, Liu Xing couldn't help but say, "No, am I really right when I said it casually just now?" Can you really use Taketori as a key to unlock the seal of an old ruler? ”

"Liu Xing, you're right, in a sense, we, the ancient gods, are a key that can unlock the sealed land, because when we sealed those old rulers, we realized at the beginning that those old rulers would recover their strength sooner or later, so as to get rid of those sealed places and regain their freedom, so at this time, there are two choices in front of us, one is to leave a secret door in the sealed land, so that we can seal some old rulers twice, or even three or four times, Slow down the progress of these old rulers in breaking the seals; The second is to strengthen the seal, we invest more costs and costs to seal these old rulers, so that it will take longer for those old rulers to break the seal, but we can no longer seal these old rulers again, and at the same time, for each old ruler, there will be many ancient gods into a weakened state. ”

When Taketori said this, he couldn't help but sigh again and said: "The weakened state here will accompany these ancient gods for almost a lifetime without effective treatment, and these weak ancient gods will be greatly reduced in strength, even worse than my current state, but the most important thing is that the chance of them being able to get effective treatment is only one in ten, so more than ninety percent of the ancient gods have chosen the first sealing method; But Liu Xing, you also guessed that although the first sealing method looks pretty good, there is actually a major hidden danger, that is, when our ancient gods entered the sealed land through the secret door, the sealed land was in a semi-open state for a short period of time! ”

"Therefore, when we make a second seal on some of the Old Rulers, we basically dispatch two-digit Old Gods, half of which enter the Sealed Land to re-seal the Old Ones, while the other half of the Old Gods stay outside to prevent nearby mythical creatures from running in." Robbing the Dharma', or the old rulers in the Sealed Land will calculate the time to escape, so I just mentioned that sometimes when the second seal is carried out, there will be one or two old gods who cannot return to the hidden place, but although this secret door is easy to use, the safety factor is actually very low, as long as it is an ancient god, this secret door can be opened. ”

"According to you human beings, we ancient gods are all from the same source, and have the same DNA that is completely different from other creatures, so these DNA are the signs of the ancient gods, and these DNA are needed to open the secret door, so it can be said here - the secret door is an ordinary security door, which can be opened only with the correct key, so an ancient god can open the secret door of any sealed place, so many years ago, there were mythical creatures who began to sneak up on us, They want to catch us to open the secret doors of the Sealed Lands, and this is a big reason why we have established the Hidden Places, so that some of the old gods who live alone will not become the master key. ”

Hearing Taketori say this, Liu Xing suddenly realized a question, that is, what Taketori said was true, so why didn't the king of yellow do anything to Taketori?

Although the King of Yellow has long been able to move freely, its main body, Hasta, is still sealed in the Pleiades, so after the King of Yellow knows about Taketori's existence through himself, then the King of Yellow can completely grab Taketori to unlock Hasta's seal, but the King of Yellow does not do this.

So the question is, why didn't the King in Yellow do this?

Could it be that Taketori has not yet healed at this time, so she can't break Hasta's seal yet?

No, Taketori has already said just now, the secret doors of those sealed places are "only the key and not the person", even if the ancient gods who came to open the door are in a state of being held hostage, the secret door should still be opened, so today's Taketori should still be able to open the secret door.

Could it be that Taketori is lying to himself?

That's even more undesirable, because Taketori has no reason to lie to himself in this regard, unless Taketori has found out that he has a connection with the King of the Yellow Coat, but from all aspects, Taketori can't beat the King of the Yellow even in his heyday, so Taketori is unlikely to be aware of his connection with the King of the Yellow Coat, and if Taketori really finds out that he has a lot to do with the King of the Yellow Coat, then Taketori should have run away long ago no matter what, after all, the old gods and the old rulers are not in the same sky.

After ruling out the two wrong options, Liu Xing found that the next few possibilities were a bit scary.

The first possibility - Hasta has actually broken the seal and regained his freedom!

Taketori also mentioned before that although Hasta was also sealed by the ancient gods, because the place where Hasta was sealed was located in the Pleiades star cluster far away from the earth, the monitoring of Hasta by the ancient gods was far less than that of other old rulers who were sealed on the earth, so it is not impossible for Hasta to be able to hide from the ancient gods and quietly break the seal, so even if the king of yellow found out about the existence of Taketori, he did not have the idea of doing anything to Taketori.

The second possibility - for some reason, Hasta has no intention of breaking the seal now, because Hasta may have heard such a sentence through the King in Yellow - the gun shoots the first bird, so Hasta feels that if he is the first and only old ruler to break the seal, it is very likely that he will be attacked by the ancient gods, and then he may be sealed again, and this time the sealed land may be chosen on Earth, After all, the old gods need to seal the old ruler this time, and it's only one Hasta.

However, what worries Liu Xing the most is the third possibility - the king in yellow already has a complete sense of self!

According to Liu Xing's understanding, there are many clones of the old Dominators who have appeared in the game hall of the Cthulhu Run now, and although these clones have a certain degree of self-awareness, they are all under the absolute control of the ontology in the final analysis, and all their actions are based on the ontology's commands.

But through many contacts with the King in Yellow, Liu Xing found that the King in Yellow is very humane, and he doesn't look like a "tool man" at all.

So Liu Xing suddenly began to suspect that the King in Yellow actually had a complete sense of self and was no longer under the all-round control of Hasta... To put it simply, the King in Yellow may have become a new ruler of the old days!

Therefore, the King of the Yellow has no intention of breaking the seal for his own body, Hasta.
