If there is a conflict between two important NPCs in the same camp, it will be a very difficult choice for the players, not to mention this kind of blood feud, where one NPC wants to kill another NPC.
Faced with such a situation, the player has only two options. One is to choose to help the two NPCs reconcile. However, judging from the current situation, unless Gangzi is really not killed by the mountain demon, Hu Cang will not be able to give up.
He attacked Zhong Rensan, but judging from the clues currently known, the possibility that Gangzi was killed by the mountain demon is already over 90%, and there is basically no other possibility.
Therefore, Liu Xing felt that the best choice for him and his group at the moment was to start taking sides and decide whether he and his group would stand by Hu Cang's side or whether Zhong Ren would scatter.
But this is again a very difficult choice.
If you choose to side with Hu Cang, you must help Hu Cang kill Zhong Rensan. Although Zhong Rensan is just an ordinary middle-aged and elderly person, killing him should be simple and stress-free.
But if Zhong Rensan is really killed, then it is basically impossible for his group to get the jade pendant in Zhong Rensan’s hand, because apart from the special function of repelling insects, the jade pendant in Zhong Rensan’s hand is not of good quality.
The material alone makes it valuable, so Zhong Rensan will most likely hide the jade pendant somewhere.
Therefore, only by killing the mountain demon can Zhong Rensan take out the jade pendant. However, Liu Xing felt that Hu Cang had turned a bit dark now and most likely would not wait until Zhong Rensan handed over the jade pendant before taking action.
Therefore, if you choose to side with Hu Cang, unless you and your group can successfully persuade Hu Cang, Hu Cang will definitely take action in advance, because this can be regarded as a plot kill.
And if my group chooses to side with Zhong Rensan, they will definitely break with Hu Cang, and then my group will be kicked out of Hu Cang's home. As far as the current situation is concerned, Hu Cang's
Home is the "resurrection point" for my group in this module. Every time there is a disruption in time and space, or if there is an accidental death, my group will return to Hu Cang's home, and it will be very embarrassing to see Hu Cang.
And maybe Hu Cang will be angry with himself and his party, and set various traps for him and his party...
And even if he and his group sided with Zhong Rensan, Hu Cang would not give up his plan to kill Zhong Rensan. Then unless he and his group killed Hu Cang, they would have to face Hu Cang's endless pursuit.
Kill him, not to mention Hu Cang has a powerful ally like Hu Li. Liu Xing believes that as long as Hu Cang promises Hu Li to renew their relationship, then Hu Li will definitely turn against him without hesitation.
Therefore, whether you are on Hu Cang's side or on Zhong Rensan's side, there are pros and cons. However, as far as the current situation is concerned, Liu Xing is still more inclined to Hu Cang's side. After all, his group has already
He established a cooperative relationship with Hu Cang, and the cooperation between his group and Hu Li was largely achieved through Hu Cang. Therefore, before he had the strength to confront Hu Li head-on, Liu Xing felt that his group
It's better not to fall out with Hu Cang.
But Liu Xing also knew that even if he and Hu Li would help Hu Cang, it might not be easy for Hu Cang to kill Zhong Rensan. After all, there is a mountain demon next to Zhong Rensan. That mountain demon
It should be impossible for Hu Cang to kill Zhong Rensan so easily, and who can guarantee that Zhong Rensan has no other back-ups?
The most important thing is that Liu Xing can be sure that Zhong Rensan, who is an important NPC in this module, also has a plot line. Even if he and his party let Hu Cang kill Zhong Rensan after getting the jade pendant, then this
You will miss a lot of useful information, and this is Zhong Rensan’s exclusive information.
Thinking of this, Liu Xing felt a little pain in his head.
And the current atmosphere is a bit awkward for a while. After all, Zhang Jingxu and others are thinking the same thing as Liu Xing, and they are also struggling with how to stand in line now.
As for Hu Cang, he looked at Liu Xing and his party with a serious face, wanting to know the choice of Liu Xing and his party.
Liu Xing secretly sighed in his heart. It seemed that he had to stand up and express his position and set the pace. After all, in the Cthulhu group game, the most taboo is players who should be standing on the same line.
But he stood on the opposite side.
Therefore, the first person to stand up and make a decision at this time can basically determine the team of others.
So, in order to avoid the possibility that Zhang Jingxu and others would stand up and refuse to help Hu Cang seek revenge on Zhong Rensan, Liu Xing was just about to speak when he saw a little girl jumping around out of the corner of his eye.
Walk past the clinic door.
Little girl?!
Liu Xing raised his eyebrows, quickly stood up and walked out of the clinic. He looked in the direction where the little girl was walking, and found that there was indeed a little girl with twin tails and green clothes who had mixed into the crowd.
Liu Xing stood up suddenly, but Zhang Jingxu and others were shocked, so Zhang Jingxu said with some confusion: "What's wrong, Mr. Liu Xing, why are you so surprised?"
Liu Xing turned around, frowned and said, "I just saw a little girl passing by the door, so I got up and chased her out to take a look, and found that it was indeed a little girl."
Hu Cang raised his eyebrows and said: "What, Mr. Meteor, you read that right, I have been in Panlong Town where time and space are messed up for so long, and apart from Hu Li and the proprietress of the Black Internet Cafe, I haven't seen anyone
Other women, especially little girls, don’t exist at all, okay? So Mr. Meteor, you read that right?”
Liu Xing nodded seriously and said, "Yes, I'm sure that's a little girl. Although what I just saw was just her back, she was wearing a set of green clothes, with a double ponytail, and she was wearing a pair of ponytails.
Judging from her body shape, she should be a girl, so she is either a little girl or a cross-dressing lady."
"Lady of women's clothing?" Hu Cang said doubtfully.
Liu Xing was stunned at first, and then realized that at the time when Hu Cang entered Panlong Town, the term "women's clothing boss" had not officially become popular, so Hu Cang didn't know what women's clothing boss meant.
At this time, Zhang Jingxu stood up to help Liu Xing, "Mr. Hu Cang, cross-dressing man is a popular word from Meteor's island country, which means a man wearing women's clothing."
Hu Cang suddenly realized, nodded and said: "I see, but to put it this way, I heard that in the town near our Panlong Town, there are indeed many children who are women's clothing bosses. You should all know the reason, because the family income
As well as the ideological reasons for favoring sons over daughters, some families give birth to boys after having several daughters. Because the family conditions are relatively poor, they can only give the little boy the clothes that the eldest daughter used to wear. "
"But Mr. Meteor, the little girl you see is probably not a cross-dresser, because in my impression, there are no cross-dressers among the children in Panlong Town, because no boy has long hair with double ponytails.
There are no boys wearing green clothes. After all, in Panlong Town in this era, the colors of children’s clothes are relatively simple, basically either black or white.”
So, this is really a little girl?
Liu Xing touched his chin and said: "If this is really a little girl, then I think we need to find her now and find a way to find out her identity and see if she is a local of Panlong Town.
, they are still outsiders who wandered into Panlong Town like us."
As Liu Xing spoke, he glanced at Zhang Jingxu and others behind Hu Cang's back.
Zhang Jingxu and others immediately understood what Liu Xing meant. They knew that Liu Xing was planning to discuss the teaming of his and his group while looking for the little girl, and brainstorm ideas.
As a result, Zhang Jingxu and others stood up one after another, saying that they were going to look for the little girl outside.
Because he had to take care of Xiao Mochen, who was still dumbfounded, Hu Cang could only say that he would stay at the clinic.
After leaving the clinic, Liu Xing said: "Zhang Jingxu, what do you think? Are we on Hu Cang's side or on Zhong Rensan's side this time?"
Zhang Jingxu said without hesitation: "Of course I am on Hu Cang's side this time. After all, we have a better relationship with Hu Cang, and according to the information you learned from Hu Li, classmate Liuxing, Zhong Rensan is
He came to Panlong Town in order to find food for the mountain demon. Although Zhong Rensan’s original intention was to dig up corpses to provide food for the mountain demon, due to various force majeure factors, Zhong Rensan still used various means to dig up the living people.
He gave it to the mountain demon as food, so no matter what, Zhong Rensan is a serious murderer."
Li Dian nodded and continued: "Yes, Zhang Jingxu and I have the same idea. Although Zhong Rensan was killed by his ancestors, he was entangled by a mountain monster, and finally had to provide the mountain monster with
Food, because if you don't provide food to the mountain monster, the mountain monster will kill the whole family. However, this does not mean that Zhong Rensan can persecute the lives of other people for the life of his own family, let alone Zhong Rensan and others.
The family has gained a lot of benefits, after all, those precious medicinal materials are very valuable."
Wan Zhongshan sighed, nodded and said: "Yes, poor people must be hateful. Hu Cang wants to seek revenge on Zhong Rensan, and we have no reason to stop Hu Cang, so Zhang Jingxu, Li Dian, I
We have the same idea and stand with Hu Cang."
Seeing this situation, Liu Xing said with a smile: "In this case, it seems that we are already on the same front. I think the same as you, it is better to stand on Hu Cang's side, but we still have a problem.
What needs to be solved is the jade pendant in Zhong Rensan's hand."
Zhang Jingxu frowned and said, "This is a bit troublesome. The jade pendant on Zhong Rensan's hand is very important to us. After all, if we want to deal with that Cha Kang... uh, that's you, Meteor Classmate."
The Chaxi in my mouth, if we don’t have that jade pendant, I’m afraid we won’t be able to pull Chaxi to die together if we all die. After all, those Gu users in the Miao area are more difficult to deal with. Suddenly I also thought of what can restrain the Gu.
method, because I have never encountered a Gu before..."
Liu Xing nodded and said seriously: "Well, since Zhang Jingxu has said so, we must get the jade pendant. So although we have to side with Hu Cang, we must get the jade pendant first.
After that, Hu Cang will be asked to take revenge on Zhong Rensan, so after we go back later, we will express our position to Hu Cang and try to make Hu Cang promise that he will not rush to Zhong Rensan."
Zhang Jingxu and others nodded, agreeing with Liu Xing's idea.
At this time, Liu Xing saw the little girl in green again out of the corner of his eye.
Because the little girl in green got into the crowd again, Liu Xing didn't have time to tell Zhang Jingxu and others and hurriedly chased after the little girl in green.
When Zhang Jingxu and others saw Liu Xing suddenly running, they knew that Liu Xing had seen the little girl in green, so they also started running after Liu Xing.
Finally, Liu Xing finally caught up with the little girl in green in front of a popcorn stall.
But when he saw the little girl in green, Liu Xing was stunned for a moment. To put it simply, the little girl in green was so beautiful, like a porcelain doll, and also had a hint of
Immortal energy made Liu Xing's idea of "making a profit in three years" disappear in an instant, and was replaced by an inexplicable sense of admiration.
At this time, Liu Xing smelled a strange aroma from the little girl in green clothes, which was somewhat like the aroma of flowers and partly like the aroma of green grass.
Therefore, to sum up, Liu Xing can be sure that the little girl in green is a mythical creature, and even has some doubts that the little girl in green will be the incarnation of Nyarlathotep.
At this time, Zhang Jingxu and others also chased after him.
Like Liu Xing, Zhang Jingxu and others were also shocked when they saw the little girl in green. Then when they came to their senses, they all took a step back.
After all, this little girl in green clothes doesn't look like a human at first glance, so it's better to be careful.
At this moment, the little girl in green pointed at the popcorn and said, "I want this."
Liu Xing and others looked at each other in confusion, and then Zhang Jingxu came forward and bought a bag of popcorn and handed it to the little girl in green.
Then, Zhang Jingxu smiled and said to the little girl in green: "Hello, little sister, I think you are not a local of Panlong Town."
The little girl in green nodded and said with a smile: "Of course, I am definitely not from Panlong Town, because I am not a human at all."
Liu Xing raised his eyebrows. He didn't expect that the little girl in green would be so upright and admit directly that she was not human...
Zhang Jingxu smiled awkwardly and said, "Little sister, you really know how to joke."
The little girl in green shook her head and said seriously: "I'm not kidding."
