Chapter 1300 Pretending (Really. Happy New Year)
Could it be that Taichi Hiramoto’s parents are social phobia?
Or is Taichi Hiramoto lying? The two people downstairs are not his parents?
Liu Xing is more inclined to the latter, because although the reasons given by Taichi Hiramoto are understandable, they are really far-fetched.
But this is not within the scope of Liu Xing's consideration for this operation, because Liu Xing can't just run up and see what those two people look like, right?
Therefore, Liu Xing came to the living room after changing clothes. At this time, Taichi Hiramoto had already prepared tea and snacks, which are seaweed senbei that is very common in Japanese anime.
Then, Liu Xing chatted with Ping Bentai all day long. Fortunately, as a young man living in the Internet age, Liu Xing knew a lot about all kinds of messy, useful and useless things, so he quickly mastered them.
He took the initiative in the conversation, and then began to guide the rhythm of the topic, leaving Taichi Hiramoto in a daze.
"Mr. Sawada, you are really well-informed. To be honest, I have never met someone who seems to know everything like you."
Looking at the adoring Hiramoto couple, Liu Xing smiled and said: "There, there, I used to be an announcer at a radio station when I was in school, so I was often exposed to various news reports. This paragraph
The experience also helped me develop an interest in reading newspapers.”
Even though he said that, Liu Xing still couldn't help but think of an "unbearable" past event, that is, there was a radio station in Liu Xing's high school, and a Chinese class representative from a class was responsible for broadcasting every week, and
Liu Xing happened to be the representative of the Chinese class, so one day Liu Xing discovered that it would be his turn to be the announcer in a few weeks.
To be honest, Liu Xing was excited and worried at the time, because if he had a problem in the school broadcast, then who knows how his friends would laugh at him... What Liu Xing didn't expect was that right there
After the Chinese class representative from Class 15 made the broadcast, he announced that the broadcast would be terminated due to the upcoming exam.
Liu Xing is the class representative of Class 16.
And in the second year, the announcer's job was handed over to the students in the lower grade.
Therefore, this can be regarded as a "regret" in Liu Xing's high school life.
"That's it. I didn't expect you, Mr. Sawada, to be a top student. Oh no, I mean, I didn't expect that a college student like you, Mr. Sawada, would join a construction company instead of working as a white-collar worker in an office building."
Taichi Hiramoto said.
Liu Xing shrugged and said nonchalantly: "It's mainly because the boss of this construction company is friends with my father, so my income and status in this construction company are very high, which is more cost-effective than being a white-collar worker."
By the way, Mr. Hiramoto, what are you two doing in Nagoya?"
Taichi Hiramoto sighed and said with some regret: "Of course I am an accountant. I originally planned to work for a multinational company after graduation. I even passed the interview in advance. I just need to wait for my internship to be completed.
You can work after getting a diploma; but it turned out that the company where my wife worked as a clerk happened to be short of an accountant, and they were willing to pay interns, so I was attracted to it... Then one day during the company team building, I drank too much,
I signed a lifetime contract out of nowhere."
"Lifetime contracts are really troublesome. Unless the company goes bankrupt, it's really hard for you to change jobs unless your new employer is willing to pay you a high penalty for liquidated damages." Liu Xing nodded.
Taichi Hiramoto sighed again, and then said with a forced smile: "Yes, so now I can finally get rid of this weird company. By the way, Mr. Sawada, what kind of contract did your construction company sign?"
"Don't worry, our company signed a normal contract. After all, the construction company is a solid business. It's normal for employees to come and go. So if you are not satisfied after you go, you only need to hand over the work at hand.
That’s it.”
Hearing what Liu Xing said, Taiyi Hiramoto couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief.
Just when Taichi Hiramoto was about to speak again, a middle-aged man suddenly came in at the door, "Taiyi, the village chief asked your family to send someone. No, it is best for the whole family to go to the entrance of the village for a meeting. It seems to be over there in Kujing Village.
problem occurs!"
"What happened?" Taichi Hiramoto asked quickly.
The middle-aged man thought for a while before continuing: "It seems that someone disappeared half an hour ago, and he disappeared in public, so the village chief of Kujing Village came to us for help."
Upon hearing these words, Liu Xing knew that the mirror was beginning to show its power.
"Okay then, I'll go over now."
After the middle-aged man left, Taichi Hiramoto looked at Liu Xing and said, "Mr. Sawada, are you staying here waiting for us, or are you going there with us?"
Liu Xing thought for a while, nodded and said: "Then I'd better go there with you. After all, I have been to Kujing Village before. If you and the villagers of Kujing Village don't make it clear by then, I think I will probably
I will become the first suspect in the eyes of others, even if I was already with you before that person disappeared."
"Yes, then Mr. Sawada, you'd better come with us."
As a result, Liu Xing followed Ping Ben and his wife to the entrance of the village. At this time, many people had gathered there, and these people were all middle-aged and elderly people as Liu Xing had thought before.
As a stranger, Liu Xing's appearance was definitely eye-catching, but Taichi Hiramoto stepped forward to speak for Liu Xing and explained Liu Xing's origins clearly.
"It's okay. The person who suddenly disappeared suddenly disappeared in full view of everyone. At that time, people around him thought they were dazzled...so I guess this may be a mysterious incident."
The mayor of Goldfish Village said with a serious face: "Many years ago, there were many Shenyin incidents in Nagoya, several of which also happened in public, and they were very uproar at the time. As a result, this
Several incidents involving the hidden gods have not been resolved, after all, it was God who took action."
"God?"
Liu Xing frowned and said: "That's really possible. If that's the case, then this will be a bit troublesome..."
Liu Xing's words are not nonsense, but are intended to set the rhythm here, because Liu Xing is going to Kujing Village to point out that the culprit of all this is the mirror. In this way, Liu Xing has gained a certain amount of initiative.
, can become a "guide" in the eyes of the NPC in the subsequent development of the plot.
As Liu Xing expected, when he said these words, everyone around him looked at him.
Liu Xing did not have stage fright and said directly: "If you believe me, then I will stand up and express my thoughts, because my family runs a shrine in Ziwu City that has existed for hundreds of years, so I grew up
I have heard many interesting stories when I was growing up, and the most common of them is probably the story about Shenyin... No, this should not be said to be a story, because it is a fact."
As soon as Liu Xing said this, everyone present was even more stunned, because with the progress of the times, although everyone still said that they believed that Shenyin was real, many people were "unconvinced" and felt that Shenyin was real.
Hiding is just an ordinary disappearance.
But then again, Liu Xing once heard someone complain about the Shenyin incident in the island country. One word stands out - "many". As for the reason, it must be blamed on certain media, because some media like to make headlines for the sake of traffic.
The party came up with all kinds of gimmicks. After all, compared with an ordinary disappearance incident, the level of public attention between the two is definitely different.
Therefore, as long as a disappearance case is delayed for a little longer, and there are no witnesses or suspicious people, the label of "hidden god" will be immediately slapped on the head.
And if there is no news yet, the concept of "divine hiding" will become more and more popular... As for the police who are overwhelmed by this missing case, sometimes they will think that it is better to do less than to do more.
The idea is to accept the concept of "divine hiding". Anyway, the ordinary people of the island country can still accept the concept of "divine hiding".
So if we now study the unsolved and long-standing disappearance cases in the island country, we can find that these cases are basically called "so-and-so divine hiding" incidents. Of course, there are also many divine hiding incidents that were discovered later.
The truth. As a result, these truths naturally have nothing to do with "Shenyin".
Of course, in this world where even Cthulhu exists, the reliability of the hidden gods is quite high, but the "gods" here refer to mythical creatures.
"Ahem, as my family's shrine is a long-established shrine that has existed for hundreds of years, what kind of things have I never seen? One of the things that impressed me the most is that my aunt, who is the current person in charge of the shrine,
She once personally participated in the investigation of a mysterious incident, and she was asked to retrieve the person who was hidden first..."
"Wait a minute, you won't give us a scientific explanation, will you? I've heard my children analyze the hidden world from a scientific perspective before."
An old man who looked very stubborn stood up and shouted: "Of course, it's not that I don't believe in science, but I don't believe that a young man like you can use science to explain why."
The corner of Liu Xing's mouth raised an evil arc, and then he slowly shook his head and said: "Who said I am ready to talk about science with you? I personally don't believe in science, because I have seen a lot of unscientific things.
existence, and I have escaped death many times in their hands, that’s why I’m leaving now, I don’t want to stay in my hometown and inherit the shrine, after all, who wants to die so young?”
Having said this, Liu Xing said to Masami Hiramoto: "Miss Masami, please go to the room where I change clothes now. I put my pistol and some other things in the far right corner."
"pistol?!"
Liu Xing's words made everyone around him take a few steps back, but what surprised Liu Xing was that Taichi Hiramoto was indifferent to this.
"I believe Mr. Sawada, he is definitely not a bad person, even if he has a gun; Masami, you should leave now."
Seeing that her husband had said this, Hiramoto Masami nodded and left.
"Thank you Taichi for your trust. The reason why I carry a pistol with me is mainly because I am afraid that some things you have never seen before will attack me because I am from Sawada Shrine. Let me tell you straight now.
Those legendary monsters actually exist. The mastermind behind the mysterious incident that my aunt once dealt with was a kind of monster called a ghoul. This kind of monster lives underground. Its skin is exactly the same as plastic, and it has long hair.
With a pair of huge claws, if I hadn't escaped quickly, I might have been split in half by that ghoul."
Fortunately, Hiramoto's house was not far from the village entrance, so Masami Hiramoto quickly brought a pistol and other things, the most important of which was a mobile phone.
Although it is not yet clear which year and month it is now, Liu Xing knows that the most popular communication tool in this era should still be the pager. Of course, Big Brother may have already appeared, but whether it is a pager or Big Brother, in the era of smartphones
There is a younger brother in front of me... Although smartphones are logically their grandsons.
Sun Tzu When Liu Xing turned on his mobile phone, everyone around him once again exclaimed. But fortunately, this era already had televisions, so these people did not regard Liu Xing's mobile phone as a magic weapon.
"In addition to monsters like ghouls, there are actually many aliens in this world. One of them is an alien named Yisi who has a good relationship with our Sawada Shrine, so he gave this one as a gift.
Give me a mobile phone. This thing called a mobile phone has the same call function as the phone you use at home, and the same photo and video function as the camera."
As Liu Xing spoke, he played a saved video on his mobile phone. This video was sent by Yin En during Kagoshima time to let Liu Xing understand their activities. There was a ghoul in the video.
He was being "justly beaten" by Zhang Jingxu and others, and this ghoul was a subordinate of Takeshi Shimazu.
Because there was a battle at the time, the video looked a little blurry, but the difference between ghouls and humans could still be clearly seen, which can now be used to convince the villagers of Goldfish Village.
As a result, after watching this video, these villagers looked at Liu Xing in awe.
As a result, Liu Xing pretended to be serious and said: "If I guessed correctly, the reason why the mysterious incident occurred in Kujing Village should be related to some kind of monster, but the specific situation will not be known until I conduct a detailed investigation."
We have reached a conclusion, so I hope everyone will not alert others."
