Half an hour later, because Alice and the three of them planned to continue searching the studio, only Liu Xing and Mai Yuqiang came to the empty dock area of Duwang Town, and saw Yui Matsui and Dogo Aige who came with a fishing boat.

Because Matsui Yui and Mai Yuqiang had something to talk about, Liu Xing chatted with Dogo Egger... To be precise, Liu Xing asked Duogo Aiger for his "benefits".

"Well, Liu Xing, those things of yours are still in the process of being recuperated, and it will take a while before they can be used normally." Dogo Iger touched the back of his head and said: "Shimada Xiao has been back to the dream realm in the past two days, and he plans to talk to his friend about Naoraku Ii and the unknown old ruler behind him, because he thought about it carefully and felt that he couldn't let this matter develop uncontrollably, so those magic props that need to be recuperated will need more time to return to normal when no one is hosting." ”

Liu Xing nodded and said, "I see, it seems that Shimada Xiao has also realized the seriousness of this matter, and it is really good that he can make a move; But then again, Dogo Egger will you be here today? ”

Duo Ge Ai looked at Matsui Yui, and then whispered: "We are basically busy with things in Kyushu, so we plan to go to the fisherman's village to do some preliminary preparations, so after hearing that the swollen daughter had given up control of Duwang Town two hours ago, we wanted to come over to see the situation here, and by the way, we had a good chat with Mai Yuqiang." ”

"That's right, then why are you talking so quietly?" Liu Xing said with a smile: "This is not something unsightly. ”

Dogo Iger shrugged his shoulders, pointed in the direction of the city of Duwang Town, and said, "Aren't I afraid that the swollen daughter is still hiding in the shadows of Du Wangcho?" If this time it is the Swollen Daughter who wants to make a move to get rid of the old man, and then regain control of the Douwang Town after attracting more people into the Douwang Town, then I may be unlucky to speak loudly here now, because I have heard that the Swollen Daughter is a very cautious old ruler, and someone once said bad things about her in the Douwang Town, and as a result, this person was forcibly joined the Douwang Town Protection Association, and the killers sent by the Swollen Daughter will give priority to attacking him. ”

It's kind of interesting.

Liu Xing raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "So that's the case, but I think the swollen daughter's hearing should be very good, even if you whisper, she can hear it, but the so-called desire to capture and indulge in the so-called desire to capture and indulge in the so-called Dougo Egger you mentioned should not be very reliable, because even if outsiders know that Duwang Town is no longer controlled by the swollen daughter, they have no reason to come to Duwang Town to organize a group tour, after all, Duwang Town has no characteristics except for many Chinese delicacies." ”

"No, no, no, this is Liu Xing, you don't know." Dogo Egger said seriously: "Let's just say this, Liu Xing, you can't think that the swollen daughter found a random place and founded Duwang Town, right?" If you want to find it, the swollen daughter can get a Duwang town or something in Huaxia, after all, Huaxia is the sphere of influence of the swollen daughter, and although the island country is very close to Huaxia, and there are no other old dominators, but the influence of the swollen daughter in the island country is still limited; To sum up, many people now think that there must be something hidden under the land of Duwangcho, so the swollen daughter will put Duwangcho here. ”

Hearing what Dogo Iger said, Liu Xing suddenly felt that this seemed to be quite reasonable.

"If Liu Xing thinks the same way, then Liu Xing, you think exactly the same as the ninety percent of the secret churches in the island country; At present, it can be determined that the swollen daughter is indeed very concerned about the land of Duwang Town, to be precise, it should be the underground of Du Wang Town, there have been many secret churches sent people into Du Wang Town to engage in land development, and want to dig a few more swimming pools for Du Wang Town, but these people have just started construction and are missing, and their whereabouts are still unknown. Dogo Iger said seriously.

Liu Xing couldn't help but stomp his feet, and didn't feel anything strange about the ground under his feet.

At this time, Mai Yuqiang walked over and said: "What Dogo Aige said is right, in the past, there were indeed many secret churches of island countries that came to dig up treasures, but as long as they pushed the project underground, they would disappear in a day, and the holes they dug would be filled; Once, our Too Town Protection Association also sent someone to monitor those guys, but the person sent to monitor fainted inexplicably in the middle of the way, so we also thought that there should be something underground in Toocho. ”

As soon as Mai Yuqiang's words fell, Yui Matsui on the side immediately added: "My father once mentioned Duwang Town, and it said that there should be a very powerful magic prop buried under Duwang Town, and even the old ruler could not control this magic prop, so the swollen daughter only occupied this land and did not take the magic prop away." ”

Hearing Matsui Yui say this, Liu Xing couldn't help frowning, because Liu Xing knew that the swollen daughter was not the old ruler in the minds of NPCs such as Matsui Yui, she was a higher-level outer god clone.

A magic prop that even an outer god clone can't take away, how powerful a being it must be?

Is it the real sparkling cubic octahedron?

It shouldn't be.,The rule book of the Cthulhu Run game doesn't mention how strong the shining home remedies octahedron needs to be to be able to take it.,To be exact, most of the props in the Cthulhu Run game have no "pick-up" restrictions.,There are even very few props with use restrictions.。。 ,Although some props are not restricted,But these props may die as soon as they are used.。。。

So, what will be the props in the underground of Duwangcho?

"Okay, let's not talk about these haves and don'ts, anyway, as long as the swollen daughter doesn't die, then it's impossible for us to see the true body of that magic prop, so Liu Xing, can you tell me why you came to me today? I heard Mai Yuqiang say that you have something to look for me? Matsui Yui said to Liu Xing with a smile.

Liu Xing came back to his senses, nodded and said, "Actually, it's nothing, I just want to ask if the magic props in Shimada Laughing Manor have been recuperated." ”

As soon as Liu Xing's words fell, Mai Yuqiang patted his head and said, "By the way, I almost forgot to give you that thing." ”

After Mai Yuqiang finished speaking, he opened his suitcase and rummaged through it, and took out a palm-sized wooden doll, but this wooden doll looks very rough and the color is a little perfunctory, which belongs to the kind of thing that no one will ask for for nothing.

"Liu Xing, don't look at this puppet's appearance, but its effect can be said to be very powerful, and sometimes it can even save your life!" Mai Yuqiang said seriously.

Liu Xing raised his eyebrows, took the doll with a smile and said, "Is this the legendary stand-in puppet?" ”

As a result, Liu Xing really got it right.

Double Doll (Cursed Version): This double doll can connect with the host through blood, and the double doll will absorb the curse when the host is cursed.

Note that the double puppet can absorb a certain "amount" of curses, and if the double puppet absorbs more curses than the maximum amount it can hold, the double puppet's curses will double the amount of curses it absorbs against the host.

If the host wishes to cut off contact with the stand-in, it can do so by staying at a distance of 10 kilometers from the stand-in for more than 24 hours.

"This stand-in puppet is from the hand of a powerful onmyoji, and this onmyoji is said to be Abe Eye-Ming hundreds of years ago, when Abe Eye-Ming made this batch of stand-in dolls and hid them in various parts of the island country to wait for fateful people, and these stand-in dolls can be divided into three categories, one is to absorb physical attacks, one is to absorb magical attacks, and the last category is responsible for absorbing curses, but there is no difference between these three types of stand-in dolls from the appearance, So I don't know what kind of damage this stand-in can absorb. ”

"But the most important thing is that these stand-in dolls will not shatter on their own when they receive too much damage like in anime and film dramas, they will only eat the host after absorbing the maximum amount of damage, so I advise Liu Xing not to "believe in your luck too much, and throw it away when you think that this stand-in doll has absorbed enough damage, and then go as far as possible, so that you can disconnect from the stand-in doll, by the way, if you want the stand-in doll to absorb damage for you, remember to drop a drop of blood on its head first." Mai Yuqiang said seriously.

Liu Xing nodded, and said with some solemnity: "In this way, this stand-in puppet is like the stock market, if you want to maximize its benefits, then you need to bet on how far it will rise, and then throw it at the highest point to make a lot of money, but as long as this stock passes the highest point, it will immediately fall to the bottom, so if you want to be greedy again, it will explode, which is a bit exciting to think about." ”

"That's right, that's why I haven't used it all along, because I don't dare bet on how much damage this stand-in can absorb, and you have to know that each stand-in can absorb different damage." Mai Yuqiang said honestly.

Liu Xing looked at the stand-in puppet in his hand, and his expression became a little solemn.

"Okay, if Liu Xing doesn't have any other problems, then we have to go to Kagoshima City first, because we still have to make some preparations to send Mai Yuqiang back to Huaxia."

Matsui Yui looked at Liu Xing with a smile, and then gave Liu Xing an eviction order.

Liu Xing shrugged his shoulders, turned around and left very chicly.

Soon, Liu Xing returned to his studio in White River City.

By this time, Alice and the three had turned the studio upside down, but they didn't find any useful clues.

"Forget it, since we can't find any clues now, let's go straight to Nagoya." Liu Xing handed the stand-in doll in his hand to Alice, "Alice, you should know what this is, right?" ”

Alice glanced at the stand-in doll and said with some surprise, "Liu Xing, where did you get this?" I think this is supposed to be a stand-in doll left by Abe, right? ”

"What, Abe?"

Li Hanxing and Sun Huiwen both came over, after all, for the players in the Cthulhu Run game hall, Abe Eyeming can be said to be the most familiar island country character to them, because Abe Eyeming is the most famous and powerful mage in the island country in most parallel worlds, and compared to other famous mages in the world, Abe Eyeming is the youngest group of people.

So in some parallel worlds, Abe has even lived to the modern age... It's a pity that in today's parallel world, Abe Eyeaki has been confirmed to be dead, and even the ashes may be raised, but because this is a piece of black history, Abe's descendants have a very tacit understanding of "uniting" other insiders to hide the specific details of this story.

Alice thought for a moment and continued: "I heard about these stand-in dolls when I was still undercover in the Deep Sea Gospel Society, although the origin of these stand-in dolls is unknown, but the mainstream view is still that it was made by Abe Eyeaki, because Abe Akira had made similar dolls back then; However, the number of these stand-in puppets is still quite large, and the high-level leaders of the Deep Sea Gospel Society alone have almost one person. ”

"But although this stand-in puppet is very powerful, it can absorb a lot of damage, and even the curse that is almost impossible to defend against can be absorbed, but it is essentially a time bomb, and the ghost knows how much damage this time bomb will explode when it absorbs how much damage, so these stand-in puppets are not popular on the black market of the island country, I remember that before I left the Deep Sea Gospel Society, there were more than ten stand-in dolls for sale on the black market of the island country, so I think Liu Xing, unless it is a last resort, you must not use this stand-in puppet in advance."

"And how much does this stand-in doll sell for on the black market?" Liu Xing couldn't help but ask.

Alice glanced at Liu Xing and said, "The black market where these magic props are traded is bartered, but now the market price of a source stone of the lowest purity is one dollar, so this stand-in doll is worth about a thousand dollars." ”

Hearing Alice say this, Liu Xing suddenly felt that the stand-in doll in his hand was not fragrant, and even began to suspect that this stand-in doll was temporarily bought by Mai Yuqiang to fool him.

Just as Liu Xing was about to speak, he heard someone push the door and enter the studio.

It was Isabella.

Looking at Isabella, Liu Xing remembered one thing, that is, he seemed to have promised Isabella to investigate Wang Bao's death together, and by the way, to find out why her good friend left Duwang Town.

But I forgot about it when I was busy, and if Isabella hadn't come to the door now, I'm afraid I wouldn't have thought about it when I arrived in Nagoya.

Thinking of this, Liu Xing immediately took the lead, "Isabella, you came just in time!" ”
