Dragon Cub's Bizarre Adventure

"Okay, let's leave it at that." Ryotaro didn't find anything suspicious, he could only put the name book back, and left the hotel with his servant named Adachi, who lamented that tourists from big cities are rich all the way. , to be able to afford to rent the oldest and most luxurious room in the Tiancheng family, with such a long history that every beam and column has an allusion.

Chapter 55 finally entered the main line...

Chapter 55

Late at night at the Tiancheng Hotel, "Huh~huh?" If Zhaoxia's sleeping appearance is the standard sleeping position of a loli curled up into a ball, then the little brat is extremely arrogant, and the whole person is paralyzed into a puddle, half The body is outside the quilt, one foot is on Zhaoxia's body, and the other foot is curled up on the side, looking like a foolish sleeper

"The creaking Japanese floor made a crisp sound," Huh? "Xuezi Tiancheng, who was on duty, felt dizzy as soon as she raised her head, and then lost consciousness, huh~huh?" Standing behind her, "Xiao Hei" panted violently, carefully put her into a pocket, and carried her Leaving the Sky City Hotel, I came to the corner of the truck next to a wide-screen TV.

"That's it... that's all right oo..." "Xiao Hei" wiped the sweat off his brow, sat in the cab again, and quickly disappeared on the road.The next day, in the central shopping mall and the food court on the top of Junis Building, the three of them sat at the table in a dignified atmosphere. In the late-night TV yesterday, the image of Xuezi appeared vividly, but it felt that she was different from the real her in some way. .

"Hey, hey, are you sure that's the case? You also saw that, right?" Qianzhi asked cautiously, and the two boys nodded with serious expressions. They both saw what happened last night.

"I just asked the people at Tiancheng Hotel, and they said that they haven't seen Yukiko since this morning. The police said that they might have run away from home." Japanese police often use excuses

One of the mouths, after all, compared with homicide, it is easier to close the case if it becomes suicide or runs away from home and disappears.

"It's decided, let's go into the TV to see what Little Bear should know." Yang Jie, as an activist, put forward this plan immediately. "I'm not right and shook my head, "It's still not sure whether it was thrown in or missing, and just like last time, I may encounter those shadows. "I want to go together too." Qianzhi said that she must bring herself with her this time. She and Xuezi are good friends, and she can't just sit back and watch her get involved in this kind of incident.

"Hey, this is a very dangerous thing!" Those shadows can attack people. Although they didn't say what would happen if they were knocked down, but looking at the two dead in front, their lives should be in danger.

"Ah, it's really troublesome. Adachi walked over scratching his head with a tired face, "It's this kind of mysterious incident again, I said, this incident has nothing to do with you guys, right? "

"How could this be compared to the two companions? Naruto's response was very timely." We are just worried about Yukiko-san. "

"Yeah, no one knows where she went. I asked the guests of the hotel and found nothing suspicious, and the deceased last time... Ah, sorry, I said unnecessary words."

"It's not redundant at all, uncle." Xiaoxiao sat on the seat next door with her arms folded.

"Hey, you are... ah, the new guest of Amagi Hotel, you..." Adachi seemed to want to say something, but he couldn't say anything when he was stared at by those amber eyes.

"Well, I really wanted to mention it on purpose, after all, it belongs to that guy from Dojima..." Adachi cautiously changed to a more vague statement, being cautious is a must

What's important, if it wasn't because of a momentary mistake, I wouldn't be demoted here from the metropolis.

Adachi belongs to the standard professional group, that is, graduates from the law department of prestigious schools can be employed as a supplementary police officer. Traditionally, it almost means that he has been expelled.

It’s just that Japan’s police agencies, like many companies and government agencies, will not fire people easily, or almost never fire people, at most they will be distributed, and the strength of his distribution is enough to show how big the basket he poked in the first place.

Considering this guy's personality, he probably simply felt that his background and education were far superior to these vulgar guys, so he didn't have a clue about his mouth, which led to the exposure of certain Japanese politicians and high-level scandals— —Then the end would naturally be to be folded to the end, and then distributed to a remote place in the countryside like Inaba City.

"Oh, it seems to be telling the truth now. Human beings rarely tell the truth, but it doesn't mean that all lies are bad. For example, Adachi's previous excuses are good intentions if they are based on the premise that he has a good relationship with Dojima. It's like the kind of elders who quietly give the younger generation some pocket money and tell them not to tell your parents.

"Well, don't tell Dojima about this kind of thing!" Adachi clasped his hands + smiled awkwardly, "I'm going to do other things first." I raised my vigilance against Xiao Xiao to the extreme in my heart. Is the perception too sharp or something discovered?

"Oh, Mingshang, your uncle is a police officer. I remembered it. No wonder the detective's attitude is so strange. It feels as if he is reminding us." Yang Jie reacted belatedly, "Hey , Yosuke, you didn't just find out, did you?" Naruto and Chie looked at him with strange eyes.

"Nani, am I the one who doesn't know at all!?" He seemed to realize that his intelligence was the scream of the team's subordinates.

"However, how did she know?" Ming Shang looked at Xiao Xiao, always feeling that something was wrong, or something was throbbing in his heart, but still

Unborn - an echo called Curiosity. 【Note 1】

After making a plan to enter the world behind the TV to rescue Yukiko after the investigation is completed, the special search team was temporarily disbanded. After all, they are still students in essence, and it is difficult to obtain weapons or various supplies, and they need to maintain their appearance. The normal student life on campus, to avoid the clues of the murderer behind the scenes.

"My lord, the steak you want." Zhao Xia came over with a plate, "Yeah, what happened while I was away?"

"Not at all" Xiaoxiao and Zhaoxia are enjoying their vacation time now. Although some things have happened in this place, after Xiaoxiao's inspection, it seems that there is nothing special, except that the two of them died.

The only thing that is not so good is that the entertainment is a bit lacklustre. After all, this small town does not have a large population. Naturally, various entertainment venues are limited. The comics and games are of the medieval level. Of course, it may be the limitation of the times.

"Let's go, there's nothing to do in the shopping mall here." For the locals, it may be a place to feel the atmosphere of the city, but for Xiaoxiao, it is not as tasteful as their traditional shopping street. After all, people like the new and dislike the old. of.

The shops in the shopping street are probably familiar to the locals since they were young, but the high-end department stores that can only be found in metropolises like Junis are strange and novel to them.

The shopping street was the same as before, the crowds were deserted, and there were hardly many customers, that is, the number of people in the Aijia restaurant was slightly more. As for the tofu shop, it was simply empty, but the quality of their tofu was not bad.

"Dr. Pepper NEO, I didn't expect there to be such a fashionable thing here." Xiaoxiao unscrewed a bottle, "However, I don't really like this American drink."

Barely drinkable.

The canteen is full of goods, but the gashapon machine is rusted to death. In the end, Xiaoxiao used the power of the dragon to completely destroy the gashapon machine to oooooo. For this, he paid the owner almost [-] yen to get out. That Obasan started talking almost from her teenage years, and this gashapon machine has witnessed her youthful years, her husband's love, and a lot of other things.

Hearing it crookedly, every word reveals a meaning, "Losing money!"

"Ah, it's a new face I haven't seen before~" The handsome employee at the gas station looked at Xiaoxiao, and then stretched out his hand, "I'm an employee who works here, am I here for tourism?"

The little brat glanced at him vigilantly, and shook hands carefully. After all, although she is an adult, she still looks like a loli.

"Is there anything I can help you with as a tour guide? Even in this small town, there are many oo...secret~secret places."

"Are you a loli||control?" Xiaoxiao asked innocently, while Zhaoxia frowned, and stretched out her hand to grab the handle of the dagger at her waist. The genuine murderous aura made the young man's expression freeze for a moment. .

"Okay, I'm hated? The other party left the place with a dejected expression, and returned to the gas station at the street corner.

"This guy always gives me a weird feeling." Xiaoxiao thought about it for a while, and there was a supernatural smell, but did it go too far? It was a bit like a psionic warlock, and there was a clear difference, which made people touch it. No brains.

"It's really scary... Is the prototype...that?" [Note 2] The young man showed a harmless smile, "What changes will this bring? Which mask are you wearing on your face? And you under that mask... what kind of devil are you?"

The human heart is a demon, which is the characteristic of this series, although they do not necessarily appear in the image of demons in human mythology, but in the image of gods, and this image will appear very close to demons.

After all, they are the side of human beings who do not want others to see, and are suppressed in the shadows. Therefore, it is no problem to be called "demons", at least in their own opinion, they are indeed incompatible with demons. the difference.

"By the way, have you guys heard of that rumor?" "Huh?" Xiao Xiao, who had walked a little way, turned her head suddenly, and the employee of the gas station in the distance greeted her, "It's the rumor in the town, ask more about it. Well, it’s very interesting, it can be regarded as a free tour guide recommendation.”

"Small towns, rumors, deep mountains, folk customs, the combination of the above four, I can only think of using a camera to exorcise demons." No curiosity arose.

Two days later, even if Xiaoxiao didn't want to inquire about it, it would slowly spread to her ears, as if someone deliberately arranged it, but it was indeed unintentional, and it didn't seem like there was some kind of strange organization behind it Operate everything, after all, they don't have anything to shield their brains, and Xiaoxiao can read vague and superficial spiritual thoughts.

It can be completely confirmed that it is really the spread of rumors, and at this time, this kind of complete normality is the biggest abnormality, and the content of the rumors is "If you stare at the TV screen at midnight after continuous rain, You can see your own destiny."

"Boring!" For Xiaoxiao, who really understands the knowledge of occultism, this is a standard and dangerous spirit seance ceremony. The mirror symbolizes the passage, and midnight symbolizes the alternation between two days, and also means the separation between the two worlds. staggered.

None of the ceremonies involving midnight and mirrors are not related to summoning, possession, and other worlds. It's just that the television with the same symbolic meaning is cleverly used as the medium here, and there is no difference in essence.

Although I don't know if the mysticism in this world can take effect, because Xiaoxiao really doesn't perceive the existence of too strong ether, which means that there is no magic power in this world, or the magic power is extremely weak.

However, she did perceive the existence of the ether world, which is a reflection superimposed on the real world, a world of spirit bodies, and force field spells can have a good impact on things in the ether world, but the ether outside is too weak , she could barely release the magic.

Unless you use your own dragon soul power to do it, it is not an ordinary loss, and the effort is too great, it is easy to crush some troublesome things together inadvertently

"Master, it doesn't matter if you try it~" There is no TV in the hotel, but for Xiaoxiao, this is not a problem, Junis sells TVs, "Trouble, then go buy one." Just now When I entered the home appliance store of Junis, I met a familiar trio.

"Oops, someone is coming." The three of them quickly gave up the idea of ​​getting into the TV, "This TV is big enough~ Lord, let's use this one." Zhaoxia pointed at the TV they had chosen, and the three of them The group suddenly tensed up.

Because Xiao Xiong said that if you drill into other TVs, it will probably appear in a place where it can't reach, it will be too troublesome, and you may die

And the price of this largest TV is close to 40 yen, which is not something locals can consume at all. It is just like a treasure in a town store. Even if the locals want to buy it, they will only buy those around 20 yen. Promotional items around the yen.

"This one doesn't work!" Yang Jie, the son of the store manager, stood up decisively, "Why?" Xiao Xiao looked at him calmly. "Because...because..." I can't tell the reason at all.

"Master Yangjie, don't make trouble." Even if he is the son of the store manager, but the store manager is not the owner of this mall, but just a senior wage earner, and selling the most expensive TV means With a huge commission, even the son of the store manager has to endure it.

"There may be some problems with this one, we can't sell inferior products to customers"

"o..." A complete lie, a lie out of desperation, Xiao Xiao sighed, but on the contrary, it showed that there must be something wrong with this TV.

【Note 1】

Banchang's persona is Izanaki. In the myth, he holds a torch to disperse the mist of the underworld, sees Izanami who is rotten all over, and then rushes out in fright, blocking the gate of the underworld.

The gods in the P series are just psychological prototypes, not real gods. Their mythology is their symbolic meaning. Therefore, the status and power of the gods in the legend have nothing to do with the actual power of the persona. They are just human psychological prototypes represented. .

And Banchang's Izanagi represents the courage to reveal the truth and the most essential human emotion-curiosity.Izanami, on the other hand, represents the heart shrouded in mist

The dark side, which appears in the image of rot and maggots all over the body, is a symbol of the ugly part of the human heart that does not want to be known.

【Note 2】

Prototype, the prototype in psychology refers to the composition of a certain expression of perception, that is, when you see this thing, you will quickly perceive what it wants to express. Mythology is the prototype of the concept of "mother" (the prototype here is the psychological meaning, not the original meaning), a concept that integrates the expressions of the earth, mother, love, reproduction, etc.

[PS]

Based on the composition setting of "Jungian psychology" in the P series above (for the above, it is the setting of the P series based on Jungian psychology, which is quite different from realistic psychology), then the small mask will be what?Hint: Refer to the Complete Book of Demons.

Banchang's classification is the demon god, the main god, which is the foundation of human emotions and culture, and the little emotion obviously does not belong to this category, so her shadow will appear in the image of the God of Destruction. The God of Destruction here refers to destroying the old There are things that not only represent the past, but also new life, destroying old ideas or something, and then creating new ones, not evil.

So what would her mask be?Type: Dragon King, a higher status among the dragon clan, an individual with powerful strength and wisdom, usually associated with water, which represents life, and also symbolizes the inheritance of life, eternity and power. For example, ouroboros is this category. [The reason why it is not the Dragon God is because the Dragon God has the concept of creation and origin,

She doesn't. 】

[PS2]

I really accidentally crossed the P series, including the words of Megami Tensei. The most powerful power is not magic, but mouth cannon. This is where mouth cannon can really kill people. Especially Megami Tensei. One Talk, you can persuade the enemy to hand over the treasure, become a partner, or even go away and leave the loot

Chapter 56

"Okay, I'll buy another one." Xiao Xiao shrugged, seeing the nervous expressions of these three, she was not interested in making trouble, although there must be something wrong with this TV, and a problem means trouble, she Don't like trouble.

"27 yen, miss, do you want us to deliver it to your door?" A child who can take out nearly 30 yen is definitely not an ordinary child. It is already quite powerful.

"Send it to the Tiancheng Hotel." The shopping mall is not suitable for stuffing it with a backpack, and it is best to let the other party deliver it. After leaving the room number and the name of the collection, Xiaoxiao returned to the previous Where those three people were, they refused to accompany the shopping guide.

"Zhaoxia, did you just notice where they went?"

"No, my lord, it seems to have disappeared in an instant."

"Hmm~" Xiao Xiao shook her head and decided not to worry about this matter. She still can't get over her own troubles. Since yesterday, she always felt that the dragon soul seemed to be throbbing, and it was ushering in the next growth period. Does it matter?

At the Amagi Hotel, Yukiko was not seen, and neither were the other high school student part-time maids. It is said that she disappeared last night. However, since Sheng Tianmu did not sneak into their vicinity, she did not arouse the vigilance of Xiaozi.

"Okay, the TV is connected, and the next thing is to wait for the foggy days after the rain, and the rest of the time, I got out of print good things." Out of print good things in various senses, Sega's Neptune host.

In the original world, it was a thing that would simply die on the road. The hardware performance was comparable to PS3 or even slightly better, but the biggest problem with the cause of death was that the performance of the console itself was not so important at this point in the console war.

There is neither Nintendo's connections nor Microsoft's financial resources to forcibly cut off Hu, and was beaten badly by Sony in the previous wars, causing game manufacturers to change dynasties, and consoles without the support of game manufacturers are no matter how good the performance is. Bricks make no difference.

Therefore, in addition to Sega's financial situation deteriorating, the development of the console was terminated. In the original world, except for the prototype, it was not pushed to the market at all, and naturally there was no supporting game software.

However, here, it may be because there is no Nintendo, or it may be because the power of the old Ren's legal department can already be hunted across the world, so the producers of the P series have no courage to make the old Ren's gadgets, and the four-party war has become a three-party battle. So Sega's console industry survived.

And this amazing out-of-print gadget that was expensive because of the high cost was bought back by Xiaoxiao. It is also worth mentioning that Sega's body design is much more reliable than Sony's, provided you don't install too many external parts. Assume.

"Oh, I haven't seen a game console before. Zhaoxia happily sat on the 2P seat, "Shock sensor, electronic gun, and many peripherals, my lord. "

"Their products have a lot of peripherals, and the hardware is full of bells and whistles." That's why they can't be sold because they are too expensive, and the development costs of game manufacturers are endlessly rising, so they are abandoned by the manufacturers.

"However, fortunately, SEGA itself is a game manufacturer, so it is not completely a brick." Xiaoxiao complained, among the supported games, nine out of 10 are developed by SEGA, but, in all fairness, they are playing As far as cars, guns and balls are concerned, they are no less than American manufacturers—no, they are American manufacturers.

[Small Science: What company do you think is Japanese, but it is actually American?Answer: Sega, because it is Servicegame, was established in Hawaii, a company that provides game services for the US military, but its assets in Japan were bought by Hayao Nakayama, who became the president of the Japanese company]

"Because they are experts in machine games, they are best at games such as racing cars and shooting guns, which are the most comfortable games on analog machines. However, in the main world, due to various reasons, they have become more and more declining, so they began to buy IPs to play Two- It's dimensional, and it's more and more like a small local Japanese company.
