Real Cthulhu Running Game

"But, I seem to have heard of the pastry you mentioned, Tetsuya Honda. It is the product of a new Internet celebrity store in Nara. It is said that the supply will exceed the demand tomorrow, but the most important thing is the financial backer behind this Internet celebrity store. It’s a foreigner named Sheila, and this Sheila seems to be related to the Corpse Eater Cult.”

As Ichiro spoke, he winked at Erlang, and Erlang understood and left.

"The Corpse Food Cult, it is expected that they will participate in the Gongwu War. After all, it would be strange for them not to participate in such a big event. It seems that the millet grains in the deer's bodies should be a good thing done by the Corpse Food Cult."

Yin En thought for a while and said to Liu Xing: "Liu Xing, go call Alice and ask her if she knows what these millet grains can do."

Liu Xing nodded, picked up the phone and sent a text message to Alice, telling Alice everything he knew so far.

It didn't take long for Alice to reply with a text message - Wait, I'll ask my teacher first.

It seems that the Corpse Food Cult did not hide their secrets when cooperating with the public factions, and did not directly use high-end goods to deal with the public factions.

At this moment, Liu Xing noticed that the expressions of Zhang Jingxu and Yin En became serious for a moment, and then relaxed immediately. It seemed that the kp had given them a new task.

It's a pity that Liu Xing still hasn't got his player identity back.

"By the way, I heard that the people from the public faction have withdrawn from the climbing mountain, and it seems that they have not really found Tetsuya Honda's treasure house, but more importantly, they have fewer people when they go down the mountain than when they go up the mountain. One-third, it seems that the forces of these public factions still had internal fighting in the end." Ichiro said while looking in the direction of the rock climbing mountain.

Honda Tetsuya laughed, and then said to Liu Xing and others: "It seems that my final plan was successful, but let me tell you, my plan was originally intended to deal with you."

Looking at Liu Xing and others who looked surprised, Honda Tetsuya continued: "Actually, when you solved the thorn beast, I had already noticed your existence, and then I used the shadow demon to monitor you secretly to determine your presence. Every move; at that time, I thought that you and the people from the public faction were together, waiting for me in the tunnel above, so I used the shadow demon as bait to attract your attention, and then secretly waited for you before you went there. There is a trap prepared deep in the tunnel we passed. To put it simply, it is a colorless and odorless powder smeared on various good things, which can make people more likely to become jealous and lose their minds. When the time comes, all you need to do is If one person touches those things, everyone nearby may be affected by the powder, and then you will feel that those things should belong to you and cannot be taken away by others."

"If you are from the same group, and there is still a certain status gap, then this powder will not have a too serious impact on you, because although the lower-ranking people will be jealous of the upper-ranking people for taking away all the good things, in their hearts You will still strictly abide by the class order and will not be too possessive about things you shouldn't take; but I know through the shadow demon that you are not all the same, but a small temporary team, so I know This powder will have a miraculous effect. If everything goes well, you will definitely fight on your own. Therefore, I have been waiting for you to search the passage. As a result, you never went, and those from the public faction People forced me to come up, but they finally stepped on this trap."

Zhang Jingxu breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Ichiro and said: "Mr. Ichiro, it seems that we have escaped. If we really encounter the trap set by Honda Tetsuya, I am afraid that the three of us will not be able to leave the climbing mountain alive. Yes, because people die for money and birds die for food. This sentence is never a joke."

Ichiro nodded and said to Zhang Jingxu with a frightened look on his face: "Yes, the trap prepared by Honda Tetsuya is really vicious. We will definitely fight for those good things, and those people from the public faction have also proved it. On this point, I think you are wrong, that is, you may not all be wiped out, because although our Monster Talk Club can enforce orders and prohibitions in most cases, and the person in charge of leading the team can say the right thing, but in our Monster Talk Club, except Except for the president and vice-president, there is no obvious level difference between the other members, so I can be 100% sure that by then our Monster Talk Club will definitely fight among ourselves first."

Having said this, Ichiro seemed to have thought of something, so he looked at Tetsuya Honda with some embarrassment.

Honda Tetsuya raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "I know what you want to say, don't you just want to ask how the two people who were swallowed by the shadow demon are doing now?"

"That's right, I heard that the shadow demon also goes through a digestion process after it finishes devouring it. And if the shadow demon dies during this digestion process, the creatures it swallowed will also die. But if the shadow demon takes the initiative to kill the swallowed creatures, If you spit it out, then the swallowed creature will be fine. At most, the mark of the shadow demon will appear on some body parts, but this is not a big deal; before, I thought Honda Tetsuya you couldn't control those mythical creatures, so I I didn't mention this matter. After all, we still have to go into the tunnel ourselves in the end. We can't blame others for this matter, but since Tetsuya Honda can control the shadow demon, can you put my two brothers back?" Ichiro He looked at Tetsuya Honda expectantly.

Honda Tetsuya didn't show off, and nodded directly and said: "Of course there is no problem, because when I was sure that you were no threat to me, I had already controlled the shadow demon to stop digesting it, or at the beginning I I didn't let him eat because I was going to use those two people as bargaining chips; originally I was going to let the shadow demon release them directly, but I finally changed my mind because although the shadow demon ate very quickly, he still couldn't eat it. It would take a long time to make it spit out, and we definitely couldn't wait at that time, so I asked other mythical creatures in the tunnel to release the shadow demon, and then let the shadow demon escape to a safe place. , ready to wait until the members of the public faction leave before releasing the two of them."

Speaking of this, Tetsuya Honda pointed to the top of the rock climbing mountain and said: "The reason why I can control the shadow demon mainly relies on the power of the treasure house, so I cannot control the shadow demon to leave the rock climbing mountain, or once the shadow demon leaves the rock climbing mountain, it will It will directly lose control, and then it will not know where it will go, so I think it is better not to release them for the time being. No one knows whether the public faction has left a secret sentinel on the climbing mountain."

Hearing what Tetsuya Honda said, Ichiro couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, because as he just said, the Kaidankai is not a strictly organized secret church, and they cannot treat the lives of lower-level members as nothing.

Therefore, although there is not much gain from the operation of the Monster Talk Club, as long as there are no casualties, then the operation will not be considered a failure.

At this moment, Erlang came back with a bag of cakes in his hand, and the cakes were exactly the same as what Liu Xing and others saw in Nara Park.

"Don't worry, we have carefully inspected these pastries. There is nothing wrong with them, and they are quite delicious."

Erlang said as he distributed the pastries to Liu Xing and others, "Don't look at it. This pastry looks soft and it's not heavy when you pick it up. But its calories are surprisingly high. It's just such a calorie." It’s almost the same as a normal person’s lunch. That’s why the deer in the park like to eat it so much. Although the deer are often fed by tourists, they can’t stand it. There’s too much porridge, and there’s not much rice in the porridge. As for the one called Sheila is a foreigner. He appears to be from a small Eastern European country, but in fact he is an Englishman, and his ancestors were once rich, and I heard he was a Duke."

"Sheila came to the island country three years ago. At that time, he was an investor. However, the investments before that were not smooth. Not to mention the emergence of any hot products, not even a few of them got their money back. Therefore, he was a little transparent in the investment circle of the island country, hanging out in Tokyo all day long. However, just after the Battle of Gongwu began, Sheila's investment level suddenly improved. It can be said that she is almost accurate with every investment, and soon she has There are more than ten successful cases, but these successful cases are all on the territory of public factions, and I don’t know if it is a coincidence. These successful cases are evenly distributed in major cities. For example, Nara is the Internet celebrity store. .”

"Except for this Internet celebrity store, the rest of the successful cases are basically focused on the word 'eat'. It seems that the Corpse Food Cult is preparing to bring disaster from the mouth. If they want to be more successful in food If they make a fuss about it, there are too many things they can do. After all, for ordinary people, it is impossible for them to discover what manipulation has been done in these foods. Even if we don’t know it, we can’t. You may not be able to detect the abnormality at the first time; but you can rest assured that there is really no special seasoning in these pastries."

Liu Xing looked at the pastries in his hand, feeling that some of them were too much to eat.

However, Tetsuya Honda, who was from Luka, didn't have so many scruples and just ate the pastry in his hand in one bite.

"Well, this tastes quite good, and the texture is also very good. It is the best pastry I have eaten in so many years, and it is true that there are no strange seasonings in it, but I am sure that we have These pastries are made using a different recipe than the pastries fed to the deer in the park.”

Having said this, Honda Tetsuya suddenly had a small piece of pastry residue in his palm.

"When I was in the park, I took advantage of the chaos and used my clone to take away a few scraps left by the deer. Now through comparison, I can confirm that there is an extra ingredient in these cakes fed to the deer, and this ingredient is according to your Humans call it active bacteria. They will gather together after other ingredients are digested by the human body, and eventually form the millet grains I mentioned. But having said that, I seem to have some impression of this kind of active bacteria, but for a while I can’t even remember what this active bacteria is called.”

Honda Tetsuya frowned and fell into deep thought as he spoke.

"It seems that the public faction is planning to use the active bacteria mentioned by Honda Tetsuya to control the movement of deer, but now we don't know if this active bacteria has other abilities." Ichiro continued with some worry: "Since those deer Millet grains have already formed in their bodies, which means that the public faction is ready to take action, so we have to find a way to track these deer... Or should we deal with these deer in advance? For example, we should also feed these deer something delicious of!"

Liu Xing thought for a while, shook his head and said: "We can indeed do this, but it is too difficult to do it well, because there are more than a thousand deer living in Nara. If we only feed a few dozen deer It's easy to say, but if you have to feed so many deer, it will easily attract the attention of the public faction. What's more, as long as there is an accident with one deer, the public faction will be more vigilant, so we must solve the problem at once, because The public faction will not give us a second chance!”

As soon as Liu Xing finished speaking, his cell phone rang.

Needless to say, this must be the text message Alice sent back.

After reading Alice's text message, Liu Xing finally knew why the public faction would make a fuss about these deer.

As Tetsuya Honda said, the "millet grains" in those deer are a polymer of active bacteria, and this active bacteria is very ancient and can be regarded as a direct descendant of archaea. In a sense, it is also He can be regarded as a "distant relative" of Honda Tetsuya.

But the most important thing is that this active bacteria has a certain degree of self-awareness!

If we want to make an analogy, these active bacteria are somewhat similar to ants, so Alice's teacher called them ant bacteria. Therefore, ant bacteria can be roughly divided into two types like ants. One type can issue commands. The king bacteria, and the other is the civilian bacteria that accept orders to act.

Under normal circumstances, Wang Jun can command the civilian bacteria under his command even if he is hundreds of miles away, and the main task of the civilian bacteria is two words - stay alive!

According to teacher Alice’s survey, ant fungi are less distributed on the earth than archaea. Therefore, their first task is to survive before they can reproduce into a larger population. Therefore, ant fungi have evolved extremely powerful Adaptability means being able to adapt to a new environment at all costs as soon as possible when entering a new environment, even if there is not even one microbiome left in it.
