Eliminate all impossible factors, and no matter how outrageous the remaining answer seems, it is indeed the truth.
And this truth is quite normal to be honest.
Although the Cthulhu Running Game is not scientific, it is reasonable, so Liu Xing analyzed it based on the currently known clues. Since the mirror did not appear directly at the crime scene, and no one mentioned it,
The existence of a mirror means that the mirror should have fallen into someone's hands, and that person already knows the special features of this mirror.
Of course, another possibility cannot be ruled out now, that is, the so-called plot needs, because there are only two players around Kujing Village now, so it is not enough to officially trigger the plot... This is the same as some
Like other games, if you don't accept a certain task, the task monster will either not refresh or be unable to attack.
So the question is, where are Zhang Jingxu and the others now?
Several hours have passed now, why haven't they found Kujing Village yet? Are they lost?
Well, this seems quite normal. After all, it is indeed very troublesome to find a small village that you have never been to or even seen without any prompts. Not to mention Zhang Jingxu and others.
Where is the birth point of a person?
If his guess was correct, Liu Xing felt that at least one person was born in Wakayama County, which is some distance away from here, because he needed to bring some "souvenirs" here.
Fortunately, the transportation in the island country in this era is relatively convenient and fast because of the Shinkansen. It only takes a few hours to get from Wakayama Prefecture to Nagoya... But that is true, but the biggest problem now
It's because I and my group don't have any money.
As a person who is used to mobile payment and usually does not need to give money by himself, Liu Xing has not carried money with him for a long time. Of course, the same is true for Zhang Jingxu and others, so when there is no money, he wants to start from
Getting to Nagoya from Wakayama Prefecture is a bit troublesome.
"It seems that the enemy we have to face is not a reckless person. He actually knows how to hide when the situation is not good for him." Taichi Hiramoto looked at Liu Xing and continued: "Mr. Sawada, if you can, you will do it today."
Stay in our Goldfish Village for the night, because you are the only one who is a professional in this area...and if this monster cannot be caught or driven away this time, I am worried that Shenyin incidents will happen one after another."
I was just dozing off when I came across a pillow.
Liu Xing was still thinking about how to "tactfully" express to Taichi Hiramoto that he had no place to stay tonight, but Taichi Hiramoto came to his door himself.
Therefore, after Liu Xing pretended to be confused for a moment, he nodded and said: "Well, I will definitely feel uneasy if I leave now. After all, I am not the kind of person who will not save me until death, so I will wait.
I will ask for a leave from the company later, but I can only stay here for three days at most, and I will try my best to solve this matter within these three days."
Hearing what Liu Xing said, Taiyi Hiramoto smiled and breathed a sigh of relief.
Ever since, after returning to Jinyu Village, Liu Xing and Yin En moved into a vacant bungalow. This bungalow was originally the home of the old village chief's son, but the old village chief's son moved in more than ten years ago.
I moved to Nagoya because of my children's schooling. I usually only come back to see the old village chief during the holidays, and usually don't go back to this bungalow to spend the night. However, the old village chief usually has nothing to do, so he often
will come to clean this bungalow, so Liu Xing and Yin En can be said to have taken charge of moving in.
As for why Yin En was able to stay in Goldfish Village, the main reason was that Yin En pretended to have an injured hand, so it seemed that there was no way to leave Goldfish Village, so the old village chief arranged for Yin En to be Liu Xing's companion.
After confirming that there was no one around, Yin En couldn't help complaining: "I'm convinced too, I really can't figure out why my birth point is on the mountain, and there are no roads around, so I can only go deep and shallow."
I walked down the mountain with one foot, but accidentally rolled down; fortunately, this module can be resurrected infinitely, otherwise I would really have torn the card."
"Then what's wrong with your legs? How come you can step on the rabbit trap?"
Looking at the curious Liu Xing, Yin En sighed and said: "It's a coincidence. Originally, I was very cautious when I was going down the mountain. I only took action after I was sure that there would be no problem. However, when I walked to the arrester
When I was near the animal trap, I suddenly heard the sound of people not far away, and there were quite a few people. It looked like they were here for a picnic, so I couldn't help but take two steps in that direction, trying to
Listen clearly to what they are saying, and then decide whether I should go to them or not. As you can imagine, with just a snap, my legs were pinched."
"Well, your luck is really bad. You can even encounter this kind of thing. But I think Yin En, you didn't know when and where you were at that time, right?" Liu Xing smiled.
asked.
Yin En nodded and said: "Yes, when I saw Liu Xing you fell into the pit, I closed and opened my eyes and ran to the mountain. Then kp didn't tell me where it was, just
I was asked to go down the mountain and complete the plot to pass the level. In the end, I really didn’t expect that this would be an industrial area in the past; but then again, that Kujing Village is the Sakai Merchant Village that Masachi Sakai mentioned, right?”
"Yes, I can now confirm that Kujing Village is the Sakai Merchant Village mentioned by Sakai Masashi, but what I saw and heard in Kujing Village makes me doubt whether Sakai Masashi knows the truth about Kujing Village."
Liu Xing took a deep breath, and then said seriously: "First of all, I saw a person who looked very similar to Sakai Masachi, and he was also the village chief of Kujing Village, so he should be Sakai Masachi's grandfather, but this
The man's name is Yamashita Tatsumi, and he has no son, only one daughter... More importantly, this daughter's name is Yamashita Umeko, and yes, she looks almost exactly like Sakai Umeko."
"Wang Defa?!"
Yin En's voice raised an octave, "What the hell is this? This doesn't match the number at all?!"
Liu Xing shrugged, shook his head and said: "So I can't figure out what is going on now, but I personally have two guesses. The first guess is that this world is not a real world to begin with, so it is different from reality.
It is normal for the world to have certain differences; the second guess is a bit scary, that is, Sakai Masashi's father may be a liar. He used some means to occupy the magpie's nest, and changed his name after getting everything Yamashita Tatsumi
.”
Before Yin En could speak, Liu Xing continued: "Of course, there are problems in Kujing Village. First of all, the villagers in Kujing Village are all immigrants, and they don't communicate much with the local villages. Therefore, Kujing Village has always had problems.
They live a self-sufficient life until someone goes missing; judging from this plot, I very much suspect that the reason why the villagers of Kujing Village moved here is to protect some kind of secret or treasure, such as that mirror."
"In a sense, that mirror is indeed a treasure, because it allows people to enter and exit the world in the mirror at will. Of course, it is also based on the fact that the mirror is controllable... So Sakai Masachi
My father may have made his fortune relying on this mirror. After all, if this mirror is used to make money, it will not be easy to make money."
At this point, Yin En showed a puzzled expression, "But the question arises again. Since Yamashita Tatsumi has no son, and Yamashita Umeko is currently unmarried, where did this Sakai Shochi who looks like Yamashita Tatsumi come from?
What about it? Is it inherited from one generation to the next?"
"Huh? Shouldn't the point of the question be that Yamashita Umeko and Sakai Umeko look exactly the same? Anyway, I can't tell you a reason now, because the plot is really too brain-burning, and the clues that can be collected now are also very
It’s limited, so I suspect we won’t have a chance to really get into the plot until Zhang Jingxu and the others are in place.”
Just as Liu Xing was about to say something more, he heard Taichi Hiramoto shouting at the door: "Mr. Sawada, Mr. Ishikawa, you can come out to eat."
That's right, at this time, Yin En has once again changed his name to Ishikawa Rei.
"Let's go, let's go have dinner, but we must remember our current character settings and don't be a gangster."
After Liu Xing finished speaking, he took the lead and walked out, because Liu Xing was really a little hungry at this time.
And as the saying goes - if you are not active in eating, you will have brain problems.
Today's dinner was also eaten at the old village chief, because the old village chief's wife passed away from illness a few years ago, and the old village chief was unwilling to leave his hometown to live in the city, so he stayed alone in Goldfish Village, but Goldfish Village
All the villagers would take turns taking care of the old village chief, helping him cook meals and so on.
However, when Liu Xing and others walked into the old village chief's home, they were attracted by the photos hanging on the wall, because these photos filled the entire wall, and the content of the photos was based on landscapes and portraits.
Lord.
"The old village chief used to be a very fashionable person, so he was the first person to buy a camera in this area. And it was because of that camera that his son found a job in Nagoya, so the old village chief used to think
We show off his camera and this wall, because the photos on this wall are the most proud works of the old village chief over the years. For example, the third photo on your right, Mr. Sawada, is of me when I was a child and other people in the village.
Taken by my friends while swimming at the beach.”
Liu Xing looked at the photo that Taichi Hiramoto mentioned, and he actually saw Taichi Hiramoto and several other children when he was a child. However, what worried Liu Xing most about this photo was that there was a person behind Taichi Hiramoto and others.
Someone happened to be passing by, and the beach shorts he was wearing were exactly the same as those Liu Xing found in the backpack.
Although the face of this person cannot be seen clearly due to the distance, from the figure and hairstyle, Liu Xing is almost certain that this person is Ding Kun!
Although Liu Xing felt that his guess was close to ten, now was not the time to talk about it, so Liu Xing pretended not to care and looked at other photos, and of course he did not forget to praise Bentai for being cute when she was a child.
Then, Liu Xing really found Ding Kun and Zhang Jingxu among hundreds of photos!
That’s right, this is a frontal photo!
In addition to the beach photo, Ding Kun also appeared in two photos, and the background of both photos should be near Goldfish Village. He was also accompanied by the young village chief and several other people, so
These two photos can also be said to be the kind of timed group photos.
As for Zhang Jingxu, there is only one photo, and the background of this photo seems to be at a busy intersection. At this time, Zhang Jingxu was standing at the intersection with a blank look on his face.
Although Liu Xing doesn't know much about photography, he still thinks that Zhang Jingxu's photo looks quite profound and can be sent to a photography exhibition. The title is "Confused Youth in Front of the Crossroad."
However, judging from the "pattern" of this photo, Liu Xing conservatively estimated that this photo should have been taken ten years ago.
This means that although the players are in the same world at this time, they are not at the same point in time!
Past, present, Future.
If this is the case, then the difficulty level of this module will go up to another level.
At this time, Yin En had also seen these photos.
Therefore, neither Liu Xing nor Yin En was in the mood to have dinner, so after briefly dealing with the two of them, Liu Xing and Yin En returned to the bungalow one after another... Of course, the old village chief did not forget to leave Liu
Xingduo said a few words, hoping that Liu Xing could help them deal with the monster, and promised that if Liu Xing really killed the monster, Goldfish Village would pay for Liu Xing's mental losses in the past few days.
As a result, as soon as Liu Xing returned to the bungalow, he suddenly felt like his eyes were blurred.
That's right, the world has been reset again!
Liu Xing sat down in the paddy field again, saying "xxx" in his mouth and he didn't know whether to say it or not.
Nothing else mattered. The important thing was that Liu Xing had already thought about how to speak to Yin En, but Yin En disappeared in a blink of an eye, which forced Liu Xing to take back what he had said.
Fortunately, Liu Xing already knew where Yin En was, so after Liu Xing got up and left the paddy field, he began to think about a question - whether to help Yin En.
It didn't take long for Liu Xing to have the answer - not to go.
The reason is simple, going up a mountain is harder than going down a mountain, so Liu Xing doesn't want to cause the world to reset again because of himself.
So the question comes again, should I go to Goldfish Village or Kujing Village at this time?
If he goes to Goldfish Village, Liu Xing only needs to replicate his previous performance, and he can also make certain optimizations, such as describing Yin En as the driver who sent him here, so that he can be with Yin En openly.
