"This is indeed a very special fanatical believer..." Liu Xing was halfway through his words when he suddenly realized that something was wrong with the situation.
David Bowie?
The rise of Bo Liang?
Ah, Yoshikage Kira!
Liu Xing frowned and realized that this fanatical believer was indeed not simple.
David Bowie, a famous English rock singer and actor, is also the prototype of the classic villain Yoshikage Kira in the famous comic book "JoJo's Bizarre Adventure". Of course, Yoshikage Kira only refers to the appearance of David Bowie.
And judging from the experience of this fanatic believer Bowie, he also has some similarities with Kira Yoshikage, so Liu Xing can be sure that this fanatic believer Bowie should be a joke in the Cthulhu Running Team game hall. After all, Nobi Nobita and the others
They have already appeared, and it is not something incomprehensible to have a fanatic who pays homage to Bowie in reverse.
Of course, Liu Xing feels that putting Bowie here in the Cthulhu Run game hall is definitely not just for fun, but to use Bowie as a hidden clue to remind players.
This is also the most "conscience" point of the Cthulhu Running Game Hall in the eyes of players, because the Cthulhu Running Game Hall often makes jokes in some modules, and players who understand these jokes can get additional clues.
But it doesn’t matter if you can’t read these memes, because these additional clues are just the icing on the cake.
So what does the Yoshikage Kira joke represent in this side mission?
Liu Xing carefully recalled the relevant information about Kira Yoshikage, or the famous lines and scenes about Kira Yoshikage.
After a moment, Liu Xing couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief, and a dangerous look of confidence appeared on his face, because Liu Xing had determined why the living curse did not kill Kiraji...Bowie.
Unfortunately, there is no "JoJo's Bizarre Adventure" in this parallel world, and there is no David Bowie, so Liu Xing has no way to tell Matt and Cord his guess now.
But now that he has understood this plot, what Liu Xing needs to do is to meet Bowie and "guess" the criteria by which the living curse launches its attack.
"Mette, where is Bowie now? Do we have a chance to meet him?" Liu Xing asked.
Matt shook his head and said helplessly: "Bowie has been taken to Area O now, because the higher-ups thought that the living curse might attack Bowie, so they decided to use Bowie as bait to catch the living curse.
A big fish, and the reason why they chose to send Bowie to Area O was, firstly, because the superiors were worried that the living curse would deliberately avoid Area X. After all, it was not a good place for it; secondly, Area O
That big rat built a mage tower on his own territory, and the security factor will be much higher compared to other areas."
Third, there are players from the public faction in Area O.
Liu Xing silently added one more sentence in his heart.
It seems that players in the public faction are going to have some "fun".
"But I will go to Area O to help after get off work today, so Mr. Liu Xing, if you have any questions you want to ask Bowie, you can tell me. If there is a chance, I will ask Bowie." Mate continued.
Liu Xing nodded and said with a smile: "Actually, I don't have any special questions. I just want to know what those fanatics who were killed last night did and what hobbies these fanatics usually have."
"If it's these questions, I should be able to get the answers without going to Bowie, because I can just ask my colleagues these questions." Mate said with a sigh of relief.
It seems that it is quite difficult for Matt to meet Bowie.
After finishing the conversation about Bowie, it was already noon.
Liu Xing did not forget the agreement he made with Murakami Nishiksu, so after politely rejecting Mette's suggestion to open a small stove for himself, Liu Xing went directly to the canteen of the brewing center.
Murakami Nishiyasu has been waiting for Liu Xing, or rather the glass of wine on Liu Xing's plate, for a long time.
Before Liu Xing took the initiative to mention it, Murakami Nishiyasu said seriously: "Didn't I mention that friend of mine to you in the morning? He and his roommates are a group of drunkards, or most of the people in Blackstone Mountain Prison
Everyone is an alcoholic. After all, it is impossible for everyone to leave Blackstone Mountain Prison in their lifetime. In addition, there are only so many entertainment options in Blackstone Mountain Prison, so drinking is the most cost-effective way of entertainment. Therefore, many people can be said to be drunkards.
It’s like having fun without drinking. I basically use all the work points I get every day, except for food money, to buy wine.”
"Because our brewing center uses ancient methods to brew wine, the quality of the wine will fluctuate to a certain extent every time. Therefore, old employees of the brewing center like me can buy less-than-ideal wines at very low prices, so
In the prison cell where the brewing center employees were present, almost everyone was addicted to alcohol. They basically drank wine as water. The reason why I had an influence on that survivor was because that guy was an anomaly.
He almost doesn't drink. If he wants to drink, he will only drink one drink. However, he is also very strong. The other people in the cell together are not enough for him to fight alone, so others don't dare to persuade him.
drink wine."
Liu Xing nodded, feeling more and more sure of his guess.
But then again, Liu Xing really didn't expect that this Bowie would be so strong, since he could fight seven of them in a place like Blackstone Mountain Prison where dragons and snakes are mixed.
It seems that the things his father stole from the Corpse Cult back then were not simple.
Liu Xing touched his chin and began to think about whether he should find a chance to meet Bowie and see if he was willing to "give" that thing to him.
Liu Xing and Murakami Nishiyasu chatted all the time, and soon it was time to go to work in the afternoon.
Because of the living curse, the entire Blackstone Mountain Prison got off work two hours early to ensure that everyone could return to their cells before dark... Although it is not yet sure whether the living curse is after dark.
Just started looking for goals.
So Liu Xing waited until everyone else left the brewing center before taking the two jars of Taoyuan wine home.
Back home, Liu Xing saw Ding Kun and Yin En handling a one-meter-long fish in the kitchen.
"Hey, we're eating fish today." Liu Xing put down the Taoyuan wine and said, "How many work points are there for such a big fish?"
Yin En shook his head and said with a smile: "This fish does not require work points, because I caught it when I went to the pond to fetch water, and I asked other people who are the fish and shrimps in these ponds.
Whoever catches it will get it, but only those who own the land can get the right to use the pond."
Liu Xing nodded and said happily: "It seems that Yin En's luck is really good. Although the land you contracted may not produce much, you can contract a pond in disguise to catch fish and shrimps.
"
At this moment, Zhang Jingxu and others also came back one after another.
Seeing that everyone had arrived, Liu Xing started the secret room time directly.
Because outsiders like Peng Lijin were present, Liu Xing hid some of the plot and said: "Today I got some clues about the murder case this morning. It is now certain that the murderer was actually a living curse, and this living curse
It should have been produced in Area X of Blackstone Mountain Prison."
Then Liu Xing told the situation about Area X and the Living Curse.
"When I went there, I didn't expect Blackstone Mountain Prison to be a place like this... But it doesn't seem to be anything surprising. After all, you can tell at a glance that Blackstone Mountain Prison is not a good place, not to mention that it is inhabited by a group of mythical creatures.
Managing human beings is like a group of jackals, tigers and leopards herding sheep." Zhang Wenbing complained.
Liu Xing shrugged and continued: "But what's interesting is, do you know the name of the only survivor of today's murder? His name is David Bowie, and he is a mixed-race man from England and an island country."
"Is there anything special about this name? Why don't I have any impression of this name?" Zhang Jingxu asked curiously.
Ding Kun and others all nodded and looked at Liu Xing with doubts on their faces.
Well, although "JoJo's Bizarre Adventure" is a very famous comic, not many people know who the prototype of a certain character in this comic is. After all, there is a saying that is good - although this egg
It's delicious, but I don't need to know which chicken the egg came from.
So Liu Xing could only shrug and said, "You should have an impression of Yoshikage Kira, right?"
As soon as Liu Xing finished speaking, Yin En nodded and said: "I know this. I just finished the anime of "JoJo's Bizarre Adventure" not long ago. Yoshikage Kira is the big villain in the fourth part."
Ding Kun on the side also nodded and said with a smile: "I also know this Yoshikage Kira, but that's because I liked reading comics when I was a child, and I remember that the "JoJo's Bizarre Adventure" I read at that time was translated into
"Star Warrior", so I thought it was a spin-off of "Saint Seiya" at first."
Zhang Jingxu and others on the side nodded. It seemed that they also knew Kira Yoshikage.
This saves Liu Xing the trouble of introducing Kira Yoshikage.
Therefore, Liu Xing went straight to the point and said: "The character prototype of Yoshikage Kira is named David Bowie, and he is an Englishman. So it is obvious that Bowie, the fanatical believer, is based on Yoshikage Kira. Therefore, his experience is similar to that of Yoshikage Kira.
Kira Yoshikage is somewhat similar. They are both notorious serial killers, and both have been hidden in a small town in the island country for more than ten years. So I think this fanatical believer Bowie is hinting at how our living curse can kill him.
roommate, and let him alone."
Zhang Jingxu frowned and said: "I see, since this fanatical believer Bao Yiru is playing a joke about Kira Yoshikage in the Cthulhu Run Game Hall, then the clues should be hidden in the lines and lines related to Kira Yoshikage.
I guess it’s in the plot, but I remember there were quite a lot of jokes about Yoshikage Kira, such as ordinary office workers and the like.”
Liu Xing nodded, looked at Yin En and said: "Yin En, do you still remember Kira Yoshikage's self-introduction? This is Kira Yoshikage's most famous line."
Yin En was stunned, nodded and said: "My name is Kira Yoshikage, I am 33 years old, I live in the villa area in the northeastern part of Morio Town, I am unmarried; I work in the Kameyo chain store, and I have to work overtime until 8pm every day
I don't smoke until I can go home. I only drink lightly. I go to bed at 11 o'clock in the evening and sleep for 8 hours a day. Before going to bed, I must drink a glass of warm milk, then do 20 minutes of soft exercises, and fall asleep immediately after going to bed.
I sleep until dawn and never leave fatigue and stress until the next day; doctors say I am normal."
After Yin En finished speaking, Ding Kun suddenly realized: "So that's it. I also know why this Bowie was not targeted by the living curse. It turns out that the attack standard of this living curse is like this."
Zhang Jingxu and others thought for a moment and smiled one after another - now that they know the attack standard of this living curse, the threat of this living curse to themselves will be reduced a lot... although it is still quite difficult to deal with.
At this time, Yin En, who was in charge of reading the lines, also reacted, slapped his thigh and said: "I see, the attack standard of the living curse is sound, or decibels!"
Liu Xing nodded and said seriously: "Yes, it's decibel! I also asked another NPC, and he told me that the seven victims were all senior drunkards who drank wine as water, so these drunk guys were either
Either they were drunk until dawn, or they would get up in the middle of the night to solve personal problems, and the latter was definitely more likely; therefore, these victims were likely to make too much noise when they got up in the middle of the night, thus causing
The Living Curse attacked, and Bowie slept until dawn like Kira Yoshikage, so the sound he made could not reach the decibel level of the Living Curse's attack, so Bowie was the only one to survive."
Yin En thought for a while and said: "Looking at it this way, the ability of the living curse seems to be somewhat similar to Kira Yoshikage's second ability - the heart-piercing attack, because Kira Yoshikage's heart-piercing attack summons a
A car that can automatically track heat sources and launch attacks, and this living curse automatically launches attacks based on sound decibels."
"But, how should we prevent the attack of this living curse? You know, I snore when I sleep, and it's quite loud." Peng Lijin said with a depressed look.
Ding Kun shook his head and looked at Peng Lijin with pity on his face, "Snoring is a symptom that cannot be cured in a short time, so we will make you a mask from the quilt later to reduce your snoring as much as possible.
It’s the sound of purring.”
Peng Lijin nodded and said with a sad face: "It seems that this is the only way."
"According to the consistent style of the Cthulhu Running Group game lobby, I feel that when the living curse targets us, we will definitely wake up in the middle of the night, so we will go and tidy up our respective rooms now, and remove those things that may be
Put away all the things that make noise." Liu Xing stood up and said.
