Chapter 416: Grachi, the "Dweller of the Lake."

Although Liu Xing vaguely guessed an old time ruler, but because this old day ruler is a relatively unpopular old day ruler in the Cthulhu mythos, Liu Xing couldn't think of the name of this old day ruler for a while, and the specific ability of this old time ruler.

Therefore, Liu Xing was not sure whether his idea was right or wrong now, so he temporarily gave up thinking about this issue and collected more information first.

After breakfast, Liu Xing went to the meeting alone and went to Hu Li's clothing store.

However, when Liu Xing walked to the door of Hu Li's clothing store, his steps began to hesitate a little, after all, although it is possible to come back from the dead in this mod, but in the end, no one wants to die, and Liu Xing still has lingering fears about the previous death.

So now Liu Xing is still very worried that Hu Li will kill himself directly if he doesn't agree with him...

But the words had already been spoken, and Liu Xing felt that it was impossible for him to be untrustworthy and retreat, so Liu Xing gritted his teeth and walked into Hu Li's clothing store.

Today, Hu Li's clothing store is open, and Liu Xing saw that several customers were choosing clothes, after all, Hu Li's clothing store is the only one in Panlong Town, so business is still good.

However, Liu Xing didn't see Hu Li on the first floor, only saw a girl who looked like she should be about twenty years old greeting customers, and it seemed that this girl should be the waiter Hu Li had found.

This waiter looks delicate, and Liu Xing feels that she should be a normal person, not Hu Li's kind.

At this time, the waiter saw Liu Xing, and after carefully studying Liu Xing, he stepped forward and said to Liu Xing: "You are Mr. Meteor, Boss Hu's friend, Boss Hu has been waiting upstairs for a long time, let me notify you to go up directly when I see Mr. Meteor." ”

The waiter said as he pointed to the staircase.

Liu Xing nodded and didn't speak, after all, although Liu Xing could talk to this waiter through spiritual communication, that waiter should be able to easily tell that he was not speaking Huaxia, so there might be trouble at that time.

After all, this can be said to be a superpower.

When Liu Xing walked to the second floor, Liu Xing suddenly remembered something, that is, why did Hu Li arrange for the waiter to wait for him downstairs, and he knew that he must have come, not Zhang Jingxu and them.

The most important thing is that Hu Li also described her appearance to the waiter, so that the waiter can recognize herself, which is very strange, or very scary, because Hu Li should not know herself at this point in time.

After all, according to Hu Li's self-report, she can only discover the existence of her group through smell at most, and monitor the movement route of her group, but Liu Xing doesn't think that Hu Li can determine a person's image through smell.

So to sum up, Liu Xing feels that Hu Li at this point in time should have changed from Hu Li at the previous point in time.

However, this also made Liu Xing breathe a sigh of relief, because judging from the current situation, Hu Li at this point in time is willing to sit down with him and have a good chat, otherwise he will not arrange a waiter to receive him.

So, Liu Xing took a deep breath and stepped into Hu Li's house.

Because the last time he stepped into Hu Li's house, he lost consciousness directly, so Liu Xing didn't know the specific furnishings of Hu Li's house, and now when he entered Hu Li's house this time, Liu Xing couldn't help but look around first, wanting to see what the vixen's home would look like.

However, Liu Xing was soon disappointed, because the layout of Hu Li's house was no different from that of ordinary people, and it was much simpler, except for some necessary furniture, there was nothing else, let alone any decorations.

At this time, Hu Li was sitting on the sofa in the hall, and a pot of tea was on the coffee table in front of her.

Liu Xing instantly became alert, after all, the experience of the previous car told Liu Xing that this pot of tea may not taste good.

Thinking of this, Liu Xing sat opposite Hu Li a little nervously, and made up his mind that today I, Liu Xing, am dying of thirst, even if I jump from the third floor, I won't drink a sip of Hu Li's tea.

Liu Xing felt that no matter how you looked at it, it was a Hongmen banquet, and he had thrown himself into the net.

Before Liu Xing could speak, Hu Li poured out a cup of tea and put it in front of Liu Xing.

Seeing this, Liu Xing hurriedly shook his head and said with a smile: "Miss Hu Li, you are too polite, I just had breakfast and drank a lot of soy milk, and I am not too thirsty now." ”

As Liu Xing thought, Hu Li didn't feel much surprised that Liu Xing was able to communicate with her spirit, and instead put on a natural look.

"Mr. Meteor, are you worried that I will poison you again? Please drink it with confidence this time, I didn't poison this pot of tea, after all, Mr. Meteor, you should know this, if I really want to be unfavorable to you, it's not just poisoning, and poisoning is not the best means. ”

Liu Xing nodded, since Hu Li said so, then this cup of tea has to be drunk if you don't drink it, after all, Hu Li is right, with Hu Li's ability, if you want to deal with yourself, you don't need to poison it, and there is no need to poison it.

What's more, I came to negotiate with Hu Li today, so no matter what I said, I had to give Hu Li a face and drink this cup of tea.

I have to say that Liu Xing felt that Hu Li's tea was really fragrant.

After Liu Xing drank a cup of tea, he said the question in his heart, "Miss Hu Li, it stands to reason that you shouldn't know me, at most, you know that I am just a foreigner who suddenly appeared and lived in Hu Cang's house, so?" ”

Hu Li understood what Liu Xing wanted to ask, so she said with a smile: "That's right, as you said, Mr. Meteor, it stands to reason that I won't know your specific situation, but now that Panlong Town has been out of time and space, some things can't be calculated with common sense." ”

Liu Xing raised his eyebrows, he didn't expect Hu Li at this point in time to know so much, and even knew the situation of Panlong Town's time and space disorder.

However, Liu Xing also reacted quickly and guessed how Hu Li knew this.

If nothing else, after Hu Li killed herself at the previous point in time, she left the information on her body through some special means, and then when she was resurrected at this point in time, the information left on her body was automatically transmitted to Hu Li at this point in time.

In this way, Hu Li really has a lot of means.

Therefore, Liu Xing is now even more jealous of Hu Li.

Hu Li could naturally see that Liu Xing was jealous of her, so Hu Li said with a smile: "Mr. Meteor, I know that I did something not very good to you and your friends at the previous point in time, but I believe that Mr. Meteor You should be able to understand my good intentions, so Mr. Meteor you shouldn't blame me." ”

Since Hu Lidu had already said so, Liu Xing could only say against his will: "Of course, I know that the reason why Miss Hu Li killed us at the last point in time was because there were some misunderstandings between us, and now Miss Hu Li, the misunderstanding between you and us should be resolved." ”

Hu Li nodded and said: "Of course, after all, I will definitely not lie to me, so I have now learned about the current situation, I didn't expect that I would be trapped in a space-time chaotic space, if it weren't for the appearance of Mr. Meteor, I'm afraid I would have been kept in the dark for the rest of my life, but Mr. Meteor, do you want to know how I conveyed the information to this point in time at the previous point in time?" ”

Liu Xing was stunned at first, but he didn't expect Hu Li to be willing to give himself an explanation, which surprised Liu Xing very much.

But the accident is an accident, Liu Xing still nodded and said, "Of course I want to know." ”

Hu Li smiled, poured another cup of tea for Liu Xing, and said: "The reason is this, because our fox clan has a special spell, or racial talent, which can transmit information in the form of a scent, and it can last for a long time, so I left some information on your body at a previous point in time, Mr. Meteor, so when I found out that you suddenly appeared in Hu Cang's house yesterday, I got that information." ”

"The reason why I am telling you the truth to Mr. Meteor now, and I am willing to tell you this reason is because I want to cooperate with you, Mr. Meteor, after all, the ignorant are fearless, before this, I didn't know what happened to Panlong Town, and I didn't know that Panlong Town had fallen into time and space chaos, so I don't think there was any problem, but now that I know the truth, I feel that I have to do something to change the current situation."

"After all, in the past, I could still live in this time-space confusion Beaulong Town, and now I don't want to live like this anymore, so I want to cooperate with Mr. Meteor, after all, we have the same goal, and you should know my ability, and I will definitely not hold you back, so in the future, before every time the space-time chaos occurs, I hope that Mr. Meteor you can come to me, and I can update the information on you."

After listening to what Hu Li said, Liu Xing couldn't help but smell the smell on his body, and found that there was indeed a faint fragrance on his body.

Liu Xing thought for a while, and said with a smile: "Since Miss Hu Li and you have said so, then of course we are willing to cooperate with Miss Hu Li and you, after all, Miss Hu Li, your ability alone is stronger than ours combined, and you know more about the situation in Panlong Town than we do, but I want to ask, Miss Hu Li, you will not give me another knife in order to leave a message on me this time." ”

Hu Li shook her head and said: "Of course not, I only need to touch Mr. Meteor's skin, as for why I chose to kill Mr. Meteor at the previous point in time, it was because at the previous point in time, I wanted to test whether what you said was true, if you can come back from the dead and pass the information to me, it means that what you said is true, Mr. Meteor, otherwise it means that what you said is false, then it is not a pity for you to die." ”

"As for the situation in Panlong Town, I do know a lot more than Mr. Meteor, and to be honest, when Mr. Meteor you passed the information to me, I seem to have recovered a lot of memories, I mean I now remember some things that will happen in the future, until 2000 years ago, I have recovered some of my memories, from the current memory, I found that the demons and monsters that are now entrenched in Panlong Town should have appeared after the time and space confusion in Panlong Town."

Liu Xing raised his eyebrows, he didn't expect Hu Li to start recovering his memory, but this is also a good thing, because Hu Li should have experienced the sacrificial ceremony on the edge of Panlong Lake, and knew what happened in Panlong Town to become this ghost.

Thinking of this, Liu Xing hurriedly asked, "Then Miss Hu Li, have you remembered the sacrificial ceremony that took place by the Panlong Lake?" It was held by the fanatical believers who came to Panlong Town to preach? ”

Hu Li frowned, thought for a while and said: "About this memory, I only recall a part, about Mr. Meteor you said the sacrificial ceremony, I don't have any memory now, but there was indeed a fanatic believer who came to Panlong Town to preach, and performed some scenes of resurrection at the bridge, at that time, I also looked at it because of curiosity, and found that the fanatical believer did not use any blinding methods or other spells, it can be said that he came back from the dead in the real sense, So I became interested in that fanatic. ”

"At first, I thought that the fanatic believer would be a monster in human form like me, after all, as far as I know, there are many monsters that do have a way to come back from the dead, but according to my observations, the situation of that fanatic believer is very strange, he is indeed a human, but his body has undergone a certain degree of mutation, according to you humans, this fanatic believer is already not a human or a ghost, and I can feel that there is a strange energy hidden in his body, I guess that's why he mutated and was able to come back from the dead. ”

Liu Xing nodded, according to Hu Li, this fanatic believer should have been injected with some kind of energy by the old ruler, and thus transformed into an immortal body, which also made Liu Xing guess the identity of the old ruler again.

However, since Hu Li is here now, Liu Xing feels that it is better to ask Hu Li if he knows the situation of the old ruler, after all, there is no future for him to guess here alone.

Therefore, Liu Xing opened his mouth and said, "Miss Hu Li, have you remembered that when that fanatic believer was preaching in Panlong Town, did you mention the name of the god he believed in, or related information?" ”

Hearing Liu Xing's question, Hu Li couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

After a while, Hu Li frowned and said, "I don't remember much about this aspect, but I seem to remember that the fanatic disciple mentioned the god he believed in, and it seems to be called Grachi. ”

When he heard the name "Gracchi", Liu Xing instantly recalled the relevant information of this old ruler, and affirmed that everything that happened in Panlong Town should be what Gracchi did.

In the Cthulhu Mythos, there are still quite a few Old Dominators, but since there are famous Old Rulers like Cthulhu and Hasta, then there are not very famous Old Dominators like Gracchi.

In the Cthulhu Mythos, Gracchi inhabits a lake in the Severn Valley (a fictional region) near Brichester, England.

And the setting of this Severn Valley is also very interesting, because the Severn Valley can be said to be a very rare gathering place for the Old Rulers in the Cthulhu Mythos, because most of the Old Rulers are loners and occupy a region, and there are at least five Old Rulers dormant in the Severn Valley (the other Old Rulers will appear later), and Gracchi is one of them.

Gracchi has a title, called "Lake Dweller", this is because Gracchi was sealed in a meteorite to the earth, and after landing, the meteorite shattered, and Gracchi was free, so Gracchi is a rare free body among the old rulers, so in addition to the lakes in the Severn Valley, lakes in other parts of the world have also reported the existence of Gracchi, which is the origin of Gracchi's title of "Lake Dweller", but it is not very clear which lake Gracchi is the ontology.

Gracchi also has a unique appearance, resembling a giant three-eyed slug-like creature with metal spikes covering its entire body that look like inorganic matter, but these spikes are actually organic and can grow if necessary, and these spikes are also hollow, as Gracchi needs to transport some unknown liquid through these spikes.

Gracchi, as a wise ruler of the old days, is also one of the few rulers of the old days, and will take the initiative to develop the existence of believers.

Like Cthulhu, Gracchi is able to influence humans through dreams, thus attracting his chosen followers to the Severn River Valley, but Gracchi's selection of believers is more special, and only those who hope that they can live forever can become Gracchi's followers.

Yes, Gracchi can indeed make his followers immortal, as long as Gracchi pierces the spikes on his body into the believer's body, and then injects some unknown liquid, the believer can be immortal, but Gracchi can also gain control of the believer's body.

Therefore, these believers who have been "blessed" by Gracchi are not so much immortal as they become a walking corpse for Gracchi to drive, and after a period of time, the bodies of these believers will mutate, become very sensitive to sunlight, and even disappear in severe cases.
