Real Cthulhu Running Game

"No, because this hermit has never been heard from again since he left with Akechi Mitsuhide."

Sawada Yaon shook his head and said: "However, in the countless versions of folklore in Duhe Town, it was mentioned that the hermit did not go to the Burning Honnō Temple together after following Akechi Mitsuhide, but turned around to find He killed Toyotomi Hideyoshi, so Toyotomi Hideyoshi was able to come back to deal with Akechi Mitsuhide at the first time, thus successfully seizing the fruits of the Oda family's victory."

"What kind of operation is this?" Shi Zixuan raised an eyebrow and asked: "This hermit first helped Akechi Mitsuhide deal with Oda Nobunaga, and he must have promised many benefits to Akechi Mitsuhide, such as replacing Oda Nobunaga as the island nation The co-owner, no matter how bad things were, could still stay on one side, otherwise Mitsuhide Akechi would not have made up his mind to attack Oda Nobunaga, but this hermit immediately sold Mitsuhide Akechi and turned to support Toyotomi Hideyoshi; But the most important thing is, if the hermit can predict the future, then why doesn't he directly support the final winner, Tokugawa Ieyasu?"

"Because Tokugawa Ieyasu, that old turtle, is so alive that he forced Oda Nobunaga and Toyotomi Hideyoshi to die before he could become the new shogun of the island country, so if that hermit is just a person with An ordinary person with the ability to predict the future would only live for about fifty or sixty years at that time. Therefore, even if the hermit predicted that Tokugawa Ieyasu would become the final winner, he would choose to support Toyotomi Hideyoshi because he could Follow Toyotomi Hideyoshi and live a good life for a few more years, instead of following Tokugawa Ieyasu and pretending to be a turtle for decades." Liu Xing complained.

Sawada Yayin smiled, shrugged and said: "So this is the folklore of Duhe Town, I don't know how many editions it is. I have started to make it up randomly in order to attract attention. In addition, there are several One version mentioned that the hermit followed other generals of the Oda family, and even said that the hermit was actually someone sent by Tokugawa Ieyasu to pretend to be a hermit. In short, this version has already been too numerous to count, but judging from the current situation From the looks of it, we can be sure that this hermit is not an ordinary person, otherwise Baihe City would not deliberately run to find things, but there is another question involved here - where did Baihe City know about this hermit? To know about this The folklore of the hermit has always been spread only in Duhe Town and a few surrounding towns. After all, for ordinary people, it is just a topic of conversation after dinner."

This question raised by Sawada Yaon made Liu Xing and others speechless for a moment, because such folklore can be found in any small town, and each one is more mysterious than the last. Reasonable and well-founded.

However, these folklores are basically passed down from generation to generation in small towns, and very few can "break out of the circle". After all, the folklores circulated in your town may not be as interesting as the folklores circulated in our town. Listen to It seems more real.

Therefore, folklore like this is unlikely to be widely circulated, because no one will take the initiative to mention this folklore to outsiders. At most, they will mention it when talking about related topics, and then everyone will laugh and pass it by.

But more importantly, even if you believe that a certain folklore has a certain degree of authenticity, this folklore may not be worth your while, because as Sawada Yaon just said, folklore is easy It will be extended to various versions, and those later versions are basically the same as the beginning, and the subsequent plot directions will become more and more unrestrained. At the same time, many details from the beginning will be ignored.

Take this folklore from Duhe Town. At the beginning, this folklore may have mentioned that after the hermit left, some villagers or other people with ulterior motives went to the hermit's residence to look for things. There must have been some other stories, but the key point is whether the good things in the hermit's residence were taken away, which affects whether this place is worth a visit; as for the future versions of folklore, there are ten Eighty-nine will simply ignore this paragraph and start making up the hermit's subsequent experiences, because what everyone likes to hear is the hermit's story.

Of course, in addition to the reliability of the news, another factor is time. After all, hundreds of years have passed since the hermit left with Akechi Mitsuhide. Even if no one took away some things from the hermit's residence, then these Things are also likely to be damaged over time. After all, even some magic props may lose their original function after hundreds of years, just like Liu Xing is still stored in Matsui Yui's hands. Those few things.

Therefore, according to Liu Xing's understanding of Baihe City, he must have made a special trip to Duhe Town to get the hermit's things after confirming that the things were most likely still in Duhe Town.

So is there such a possibility?

A bold idea once again appeared in Liu Xing's mind!

That's right, Baihe City is the hermit from back then!

Thinking of this, Liu Xing couldn't help but said: "Do you think there is a possibility that Baihe City is not going to Duhe Town to get the hermit's things, but to get the things he put in Duhe Town back then! "

Looking at Zhang Jingxu and others who looked surprised, Liu Xing continued: "First of all, based on the things that have happened between us and Baihe City in the past few years, we can be sure that Baihe City was no longer an ordinary person a long time ago. Although he saw He seems to be a bit brainless, and often does some inexplicable things, and we have always suppressed him, but no matter how badly he loses in the end, he can make a comeback every time, and his strength It is also steadily improving, so now I very much suspect that his failure is actually part of his plan. For example, when Yin En and I were on the Yueshi, he actually had a chance to deal with us in Baihe City one step ahead, because If there really is a fight, White River City and the others can crush us."

At this time, Yin En also nodded very cooperatively and said: "Yes, the combat effectiveness between us and Baihe City on the Yueshi was not even a little bit different. The most important thing is that the crew of the Yueshi can They are all their people, so they must have the passenger list in their hands, so he must know that Liu Xing, an acquaintance in Baihe City, is on the ship."

Hearing what Yin En said, Liu Xing realized that there was indeed something wrong with the Yueshi module at that time, because as Yin En said, Baihe City must have known that he and he were in the opposite camp, so Baihe City Why didn't the city send someone to look for trouble in advance? You must know that the Yueshihao at that time were all people from Baihe City and their camp. This was also the advantage of Baihe City and their camp. As a result, Baihe City did not do this and pretended that they and Yin En did not exist from the beginning to the end.

This is obviously a little abnormal.

"Yes, when we met with White River City in Manchester later, White River City had already determined our identity and location. However, he still did not choose to take the initiative and brought people from the Corpse Food Cult to trouble us. He did not even send People come to delay our actions, but we have been passively defending." Zhang Jingxu said with a frown.

At this time, Li Hanxing also slapped his thigh and said seriously: "Also, when we were in Duwang Town, when Baihe City was still using false identities to fight against us, he could have killed us all in the school first. Then he ran to seize Wang Haiyang's body, but he didn't do it, even if he did, it would only delay him for a few minutes."

The speaker has no intention, the listener has intention.

Liu Xing originally just wanted to prove that the hermit was Baihe City, so he mentioned this casually, but he did not expect that Yin En and others would help him complete this reason.

But after everyone analyzed it now, Liu Xing suddenly discovered that something was wrong with Baihe City. What he did was simply unjustifiable, even if the san value of his character card might already be in single digits.

But we can't go off topic now, and this topic also involves the identity of the players in White River City, so it's not suitable to continue the conversation.

Therefore, Liu Xing pretended to be calm and nodded and said: "Yes, there are too many secrets about him in Baihe City, so it is entirely possible that he is the hermit in the folklore of Duhe Town. As for why he is It is very likely that he has lived for so many years because of Turnard; for some reasons, Turnard sent Baihe City back to Duhe Town during the Warring States Period, so Baihe City relied on its own historical knowledge to become a The hermit who can predict the future is busy with some ulterior things, and the things here should have something to do with Tenal."

"In the end, Shirakawa City was waiting for Oda Nobunaga's envoy Akechi Mitsuhide. It turned out that Shirakawa City, who knew the history and why Oda Nobunaga invited him, probably didn't expect this to happen, so in order to avoid it. After joining the list of Honnoji BBQ, Shirakawa Castle had to find a reason to deal with Akechi Mitsuhide, but because there are still different opinions on why Akechi Mitsuhide burned Honnoji Temple, Shirakawa Castle didn't know whether Akechi Mitsuhide in front of him was interested in Oda Nobunaga. Already murderous."

"In order for history to proceed smoothly according to the original plot, and in order not to be silenced by Akechi Mitsuhide on the grounds that 'you know too much,' Shirakawa City can only use the Spring and Autumn Period brushwork to evade Akechi Mitsuhide. Oda Nobunaga is not destined to be the leader of the island country. If Mitsuhide Akechi has murderous intentions for Oda Nobunaga, then Shirakawa Castle's words will only add fuel to the fire. At most, the incident at Honnoji Temple will happen a few days earlier. Even if the Honnoji Incident had happened a few days earlier, it would not have had much impact on history."

"If Mitsuhide Akechi had not planned to take action against Oda Nobunaga at that time, then everything would be more in line with Shirakawa City's wishes, because it is best to leave history as it is without changing it. As a result, the subsequent plot development made Shirakawa City realize It turns out that he is the real protagonist of this period of history. It was he who 'persuaded' Akechi Mitsuhide to burn Honnoji Temple. However, this is not bad news for Shirakawa City, because this is very likely the reason why Tenner brought him here. It’s related, and after the Incident at Honnoji Temple ended, Shirakawa City retired and left the past.”

"If this is the case, then all this can be easily explained. Baihe City did not just decide to come here to hunt for treasure after hearing the folklore circulating in Duhe Town, but it was specially sent to find him back then. The things placed there are also the reason why those things have been preserved until now, and it only took Baihe City a few days to find them. However, if this is true, then what Baihe City left in Duhe Town What could it be? It must have something to do with him being sent back in time by Turner."

"To be precise, it should be what Turner wants to do!"

Zhang Jingxu frowned and said with some uncertainty: "If you think about the problem from the worst perspective, then I suspect that Turner has already predicted that the Gongwu Battle will happen, and also predicted that the Gongji faction will be interested in the horseshoe. So Tener sent Shirakawa City back to the past, just to let Shirakawa City participate in the Honnoji Incident, and then find an opportunity to take away the horseshoe! If this is the case, maybe the horseshoe has no side effects, because Oda Nobunaga's death was deliberately planned by a Yisi, and Toyotomi Hideyoshi was just a natural birth, old age, illness and death. As for why their family members lived in such misery, it was actually natural. After all, their successors passed through He came to power through abnormal means, so eradicating the roots is the most correct, or in other words, the only choice for the successors."

"Wang Defa, Tener, has he actually calculated so many things?"

Ding Kun couldn't help but said: "If this is the case, then there are two possibilities. One is that Baihe City brought the real horseshoe to Tener, and the other is that Baihe City hid the real horseshoe in Duhe Town.”

"No, actually the third possibility is that Tener asked Baihe City to hide the real horseshoe in Duhe Town, and then asked Baihe City to take out the real horseshoe at this time, and then Baihe City can act as the savior. Appeared among the public factions, because the reason why the public factions evacuated the urban area of ​​Nagoya was that they were more interested in obtaining the horseshoe hidden in Nagoya than gaining control of the Nagoya city circle. In the end, they discovered that they had many difficulties. The horseshoe that I found after a long period of time turned out to be a fake. I believe that the public faction will be greatly disappointed because of this. However, at this time, Baihe City brought the real horseshoe to the public faction, and I believe that the public faction will not treat him badly."

Liu Xing paused and continued: "Of course there is another possibility, that is, Baihe City wants to knock the horseshoe on its own."
