Looking at Liu Xing who looked surprised, Dio continued: "According to the investigation of the Scarlet Ghoul, although those who leave Duwang Town will suddenly disappear after a few years... To put it bluntly, they were kidnapped by the Swollen Daughter.
Yes, but if you stay in Morio Town, nothing will happen to you, and you won't become the first target of the undercover agents and killers sent by the Swollen Daughter; so I have already thought about it now,
Like Mai Yuqiang, I am now only one goal away from leaving Duwang Town, but I will always stay in Duwang Town for retirement. Anyway, Duwang Town is a good retirement place. I like it here very much.
All kinds of Chinese delicacies are much more delicious than the fish and chips we have in England."
Hearing this, Liu Xing couldn't help but ask: "Does the bloody ghoul know why the Swollen Girl did this? What is the situation of those who were captured now?"
"Liu Xing, you think too highly of the Bloody Ghoul. The Swollen Daughter is still a powerful Old One ruler. Although the Bloody Ghoul is also quite powerful, compared with the Old Ones,
It's still far from it. After all, the Scarlet Ghoul is still a ghoul. It's a dependent of the old ruler Mordiggian, so where is the upper limit of the ghoul? So although the Scarlet Ghoul has gone
We investigated why the Swollen Daughter did this, but the final result was still nothing. However, the Scarlet Ghoul discovered that several missing persons had appeared in China, and everything seemed to be normal." Dio said seriously.
everything is normal?
That's not normal
Liu Xing shook his head. It seemed that the swollen girl was also preparing to cause trouble... But having said that, Liu Xing couldn't help but think of Ao Guanhai now, because the things Ao Guanhai did before were not as good as Liu Xing's today.
There seems to be something wrong.
Thinking about it now, Liu Xing always felt that Ao Guanhai was plotting something against him, because at that time he was just an ordinary new player, and he was simply not worthy of being so concerned about him by someone of Ao Guanhai's level... He could even
He said he was following him, after all, he often encountered Ao Guanhai during that time.
Fortunately, Ao Guanhai has disappeared during this period, otherwise Liu Xing would really have to consider whether he should collect enough points to leave the Cthulhu Game Hall.
So, what are these clones of Nyarlathotep planning to do?
Liu Xing shook his head and stopped thinking about things he couldn't figure out.
After confirming Dior's situation, Liu Xing brought Dior into the room to meet Li Hanxing again.
Of course, the identity Liu Xing assigned to Dior was that of his good friend in England. At that time, he was in a state of suspended animation due to an encounter with a mythical creature, so Liu Xing's reaction to seeing Dior was so great now.
As for whether Li Hanxing and Sun Huiwen believe it or not, that is not an issue that Liu Xing needs to consider, because Liu Xing himself believes it anyway.
After introducing Dior's situation to Li Hanxing and Li Hanxing, Liu Xing asked Dior to start introducing things that Mai Yuqiang had not had time to talk about.
"Regarding Morio Town, the most important thing you need to pay attention to is to stay away from the dock area, because although there have been no murders in the dock area, we have determined that there are many fishing boats in the dock area that may be related to the Swollen Girl, so we
There is reason to suspect that the dock area is actually a gathering place for the Swollen Girl's subordinates. Of course, the subordinates here do not refer to the undercover agents and killers sent by the Swollen Girl, but the kind of staff." Dio said seriously.
Li Hanxing looked at Dior with some surprise and asked: "Staff? Does this Duwang Town need any more staff? What kind of operation is this?"
Dior sighed and said seriously: "The thing is, these so-called staff are actually supervisors. Although their main base is in the dock area, they usually appear in various capacities in Duwang Town.
Location, one of the more common identities is fish delivery workers, because the dock area of Morio Town has long opened door-to-door delivery services, so they have a reason to appear in various locations at any time, and then they can take this opportunity to monitor us
, but they won’t really do anything to us.”
"However, if someone enters the dock area and wants to avoid the killer's attack, then these staff will take action to drive the person out of the dock area, or provide guidance services to the killer; and if ordinary people enter the dock area and stay too late,
If it takes a long time, these staff will start to drive them away from the dock area for various reasons, and even deliberately cause trouble, such as arranging some people to pretend to be gangsters. In short, most of the time, there are only them in the dock area - a group of people.
Fanatic of the Swollen Daughter.”
"Of course, the dock area will still have special treatment for some people, that is, people like Liu Xing and you who have not joined the Morio Town Protection Association, but have a deep understanding of mythical creatures and secret churches...
To put it bluntly, you are a fish that has slipped through the net. If you enter the dock area, these staff will try their best to get you to the Morio Town Conservation Association, so that you will be forced to become a member of the Morio Town Conservation Association.
, then I’m afraid you will have to stay in the Morio Town Protection Association for a few years.”
After listening to Dior's introduction to the dock area, Li Hanxing couldn't help but said: "What are the strengths of these staff in the dock area? Can we deal with them directly? They are not good people anyway."
Dio shrugged and said with a smile: "Of course we have thought so and have made corresponding attempts. However, the number of fanatic believers we have confirmed in the dock area has exceeded two hundred, and although their strength is not
How about it, but all kinds of small tricks are really hard to guard against, so it is very difficult to kill a staff member in the dock area, not to mention they are also very smart, they all leave the dock area during the day, and then go all the way.
I don’t know how to walk on side streets, and I know how to say hello to ordinary people to increase my sense of presence.”
"So it's not easy for us to attack these workers outside the dock area. It's easy to steal the chicken but lose the rice. And if they gather in the dock area, our Morio Town Conservation Association really can't
We will definitely be able to defeat them, but even if we can win, we will have to lose two-thirds of our manpower. This is a price we don't want to see. However, we finally found a chance to kill one of the staff members, and guess what happened?
He showed up at the dock area unscathed on the first day."
"Oh? How did this staff member come back to life? Did he directly borrow a dead body to resurrect his soul, or did he create a new body?" Liu Xing asked curiously.
Dior took out his mobile phone and pulled out a video. In the video, a person released blazing fire from his hands, causing a humanoid object not far away to turn into ashes.
What worried Liu Xing was that the person who set the fire turned out to be Wang Haiyang.
Isn't he an ordinary high school student?
Liu Xing looked at Dio with some doubts, and Dio said with a smile: "Yes, although Wang Haiyang is not old now, he is also very talented. He awakened the ability of fire when he was very young, so his parents
After being introduced by someone, he left the Huaxia Shu region and came to Duwang Town, but his parents still don’t know the true situation of Duwang Town, so this guy still has to go to school honestly."
Liu Xing nodded... No, Liu Xing nodded halfway and suddenly realized that something seemed wrong.
The name Wang Haiyang seems a bit familiar, and he comes from Shu, and is related to fire...
Panlong Town!
Liu Xing frowned and finally remembered why the name Wang Haiyang sounded familiar.
In the Panlong Town module, there is a key NPC named Wang Haiyang, and in the plot, he died in a fire in a black Internet cafe, and Panlong Town is in Shu, and Wang Haiyang was still a primary school student at that time
, if I were alive to this day, I might still be in high school.
So are Wang Haiyang from Duwang Town and Wang Haiyang from Panlong Town the same person?
In Liu Xing's opinion, the two Wang Haiyang are most likely the same person. After all, there are too many similarities between them.
The most important thing is that the Cthulhu Running Game Hall should not have difficulty naming, so even if the Cthulhu Running Game Hall cannot have the same name for all humans in the world, it should be able to do so for all models.
The NPCs in the group should not have the same name.
What's more, Wang Haiyang is an important NPC in both the Panlong Town module and today's Duwang Town, so Liu Xing feels that this is definitely not a simple coincidence.
But now the question arises again, why does Wang Haiyang, who has "died" in the Panlong Town module, appear in Duwang Town in the island country?
Although the plot of the Cthulhu Run game is very sci-fi, it is still logical, so there must be a reason why Wang Haiyang appears in Duwang Town now.
Liu Xing thought about it carefully and found that Wang Haiyang's "death" was entirely attributed to Hu Cang's family. He had never seen Wang Haiyang in the Panlong Town module.
This means that Hu Cang may have lied about Wang Haiyang's "death"... Of course, it is also possible that Hu Cang did not know that Wang Haiyang was not dead.
But for some reason, Liu Xing felt that Hu Cang was more likely to lie, but this also made Liu Xing even more confused, because Hu Cang had no reason to lie to him.
After all, he is just an NPC in the Panlong Town module, and there is no benefit in concealing the "death" of Wang Haiyang.
It is impossible that Hu Cang had expected that he would come to Duwang Town, and Wang Haiyang was also in Duwang Town, so he wanted to give himself a surprise at this time, right?
"Liu Xing, what's wrong with you? Are you performing a face change?"
At this time, Li Hanxing couldn't help but ask after looking at Liu Xing, whose expression had changed for several seconds.
Liu Xing, who came back to his senses, shook his head and said with a smile: "It's okay, I just suddenly thought of some things in the past."
Seeing that Liu Xing had no intention of discussing in detail, Sun Huiwen stood up and changed the subject, "By the way, Mr. Dior, what do you think of Bai Liang? Is he really the killer mentioned by Mr. Mai Yuqiang?"
Hearing this question, Dior's eyes instantly became serious, "Personally, I don't think Bai Liang is a killer sent by the Swollen Daughter, but a typical distraction, because Bai Liang was at the beginning
It attracted our attention. After all, Bai Liang’s resume mentioned that he had worked in other cities in the island country for several years. He should be very aware of the overtime culture in the island country, so Bai Liang was in Duwang Town
The behavior of that department store is a bit strange, and the most important thing is that he hasn't been fired or transferred for so long."
"So Mai Yuqiang and I, as well as Wang Haiyang in the video just now, decided to investigate his situation carefully. The result can be said to be nothing, because Bai Liang's daily life is very regular, commuting on time every day, every Sunday
When I was young, I would buy all kinds of food and daily necessities for a week at one time, I would also buy clothes and shoes on the first day of every month, and I would go to the hospital for a full body check-up on the last day of every year.”
"All in all, Bai Liang is an extremely self-disciplined person, and may even have severe obsessive-compulsive disorder. Therefore, except for the above-mentioned special days, Bai Liang behaves like a robot at other times, executing the tasks meticulously.
The scheduled procedure; in addition, it is worth noting that Bai Liang’s parents have passed away and are buried in China. His relationship with his relatives is not very good, and there is almost no contact.”
"So is he married?" Li Hanxing couldn't help but ask.
Dior shook his head and said with a smile: "How is that possible? How many people do you think are willing to live with a robot every day? Although Bai Liang's appearance and income are very good, no one has ever been willing to try to live with a robot.
When he started dating, no one was willing to introduce him to a partner, because it was a thankless task anyway. So when we investigated these contents, we all thought that Bai Liang should be a killer sent by the Swollen Daughter.
.”
"However, everything must be based on evidence. Our Duwang Town Protection Association cannot attack Bailiang in advance just because he acts suspiciously. Moreover, even if he is really a killer sent by the Swollen Daughter, if he is
If we catch him before we actually take action, he will not be able to provide us with any benefits, and we cannot forcibly detain him, because this will trigger the Swollen Girl's backhand and turn him into a humanoid mythical creature."
"At the beginning, we forcibly detained a person who was determined to be a killer, but before he had time to take action, this guy turned into a half-human, half-insect monster on the third night. We ended up paying two
We had to pay a human price to get rid of him, so the three of us could only take turns following Bai Liang, preparing to attack him when he did it. As a result, it took a year to wait, and Bai Liang had no flaws at all.
, so Wang Haiyang and I chose to give up, and only Mai Yuqiang still persisted."
