Real Cthulhu Running Game

   Chapter 209 Rashomon

   When Liu Xing and his party returned home, they received a call from Chen Wenbin. It turned out that he had been released on bail by the Zetian family and is now returning with Hanyu Lian. As for Watanabe River, there is still no news.

   As for why they shut down, Chen Wenbin said that it was because of Jiang Watanabe’s death, and the specific situation will be discussed when they come back, because the mobile phone Chen Wenbin uses to make calls now is from a public phone.

   After returning home, Yasaka Masami took Miyako Green to rest, and Yoon En was watching the video with a memory card, so Liu Xing found Otonashi Takuya.

Takuya Otonashi seemed to already know what Liu Xing wanted to ask himself, so he directly turned to the guest and said with a smile: "Yes, I am Takuya Otonashi, the wandering warrior back then, but I still want you to call me Takuya Otonashi. "

   Liu Xing felt that when Takuya Otonashi uttered the words "Takuya Otonashi", the whole person felt a lot more relaxed. It seems that for hundreds of years, it has been difficult to live incognito.

Before Liu Xing could speak, Otonashi continued: "Of course I know what you're going to ask me, after all, when you met the ghoul, or my old friend Aoki Chuan on the live broadcast yesterday, I expected that you already knew My identity, because I have seen the boy Naoki Kuroba before, the reason Naoki Kuroba knows my real name is because I told him."

That was more than ten years ago, when Naoki Kuroba had just graduated from high school and went to the undeveloped area to explore the ruins of the Kingdom of Tindalos. Because the Sawada family had purchased the ownership of the undeveloped area, the undeveloped area was taken over by the Sawada family. It was fenced off, and there were a lot of security guards stationed, so Kuroba Naoki could only rest in a small village near the undeveloped area.

   And Takuya Otonashi, who used the pseudonym Otonashi at that time, also lived in that small village, and Naoki Kuroba happened to be staying at Takuya Otonashi's home.

Then Takuya Otonashi knew that Naoki Kuroba was studying the kingdom of Tindalos, and sold the oil painting of Midani Green to Naoki Kuroba at a low price, and then Naoki Kuroba and Takuya Otonashi Talking about Sawada Tomohiko, Otonashi couldn't help but tell Kuroba Naoki some things from that year, including his real name.

   Having said that, Otonashi Takuya also lit a cigarette, smiled and asked Liu Xing, "Liu Xing, have you heard the story of Rashomon?"

Liu Xing nodded. Rashomon can be said to be one of the most famous films in the island country. It was adapted from the story in the novel "Rashomon" of the same name by the famous writer Akutagawa Ryusuke. To summarize this story simply, it is A samurai went out with his wife, was kidnapped by a robber in a forest, and then the samurai's wife was insulted by the robber, and finally the samurai died for unknown reasons.

A few days later, a woodcutter found the samurai's body while he was chopping wood in the woods and reported it to the government. Summoned the witch possessed by the soul of the samurai, and came to the government to investigate. The four provided four different testimonies for their own interests and to beautify their behavior.

   Liu Xing realized that the story of Sawada Tomohiko had become Rashomon.

   Looking at Liu Xing who suddenly realized, Takuya Otonashi smiled again and said, "Liu Xing, let me tell you a story now."

Takuya Otonashi was also born in Kyoto, the son of a down-and-out samurai. Although he learned a good martial art, he could not find a good way out in Kyoto, so Takuya Otonashi also bid farewell to his family and decided to go out to travel and wait until he made his way out. After the fame comes, go to a certain daimyo to become a samurai.

   So, when Otonashi also passed by Ziwu City, he heard rumors of demons appearing in Ziwu City. Otonashi also felt that this was a good opportunity for him to make a name for himself, so he decided to go to Ziwu City to have a look.

As a result, when Takuya Otonashi came to Ziwu City, the demons had already been wiped out by Tomohiko Sawada's team, so Takuya Otonashi planned to leave Ziwu City directly at first, but after hearing about Tomohiko Sawada's After becoming strong, Takuya Otonashi's competitive spirit was ignited, so Takuya Otonashi also found Tomohiko Sawada, hoping to fight against Tomohiko Sawada.

   At that time, Sawada Tomohiko was in high spirits, and naturally he did not refuse Otonashi Takuya's challenge, and then easily defeated Otonashi Takuya. After all, Sawada Tomohiko was like a "god" help at this time.

   But as the saying goes, heroes cherish heroes, can the mother ship **** the mother ship? . . Uh, suddenly strayed to Starcraft 2. . .

In any case, Sawada Tomohiko saw Takuya Otonashi's strength, so he invited Takuya Otonashi to join the Sawada family's guard team, and Otonashi also thought about it, and felt that joining the Sawada family's guard team was also A good choice, so I agreed to Sawada Tomohiko's invitation.

   Then, Takuya Otonashi also met Aokigawa, and Nohara Hiroshima, the ghoul elder Fujiwara Xuanyin, and became good friends with them.

   Next, Takuya Otonashi received an order from Sawada Tomohiko one day, and brought a few hard laborers to follow Sawada Tomohiko to the outskirts of Ziwu City. I heard that he was going to a dilapidated shrine to welcome back a statue.

   When he came to the dilapidated shrine, Takuya Otonashi felt uneasy, always feeling that something unexpected was about to happen.

   As the hard laborers were about to take away the statue designated by Sawada Tomohiko, it suddenly rained heavily, and they could only temporarily stay in the shrine.

   But at this time, Takuya Otonashi also noticed that Sawada Tomohiko had such an expression, as if he had already known that there would be this heavy rain.

   After a while, Takuya Otonashi also saw Aokigawa and Nohara Hirohi bringing a group of mercenaries to the shrine, and then claimed that they were sent by Ryoko Kanna.

Takuya Otonashi also heard Sawada Tomohiko whispering at this time, saying that Kanna Ryoko was looking for trouble, while Kanna Keiko on the side said that Kanna Ryoko was thinking of their safety. After all, Sawada Tomohiko did not have anything today. Bring that big knife.

Speaking of the broadsword, Sawada Tomohiko at that time also felt that there was something wrong with the broadsword, because whenever Sawada Tomohiko picked up the broadsword, it was like a different person. He was vicious and belligerent, so Kanna Keiko kept asking Sawada Tomohiko to put the broadsword on the shelf when he was free, practice martial arts at ordinary times, and only use ordinary weapons when he and Takuya Otonashi were sparring.

Because of the heavy rain, the land became muddy, and the statue was likely to have an accident during transportation, so everyone had to stay in the shrine to avoid the rain. As a result, the rain did not stop when it was dark, so Sawada Tomohiko Only an overnight stay in a shrine can be announced.

   As the first bodyguard of Sawada Tomohiko, Otonashi naturally lived next to Sawada Tomohiko's room. Because the soundproofing effect of the shrine's wing was not good, Otonashi also heard the conversation between Sawada Tomohiko and Kannako.

   To put it simply, Sawada Tomohiko was complaining about the heavy rain, because he didn't want to stay in this shrine for a long time, and Otonashi could also hear an emotion called fear from Sawada Tomohiko's tone.

   However, under the comfort of Kanna Keiko, Sawada Tomohiko returned to normal, and then he began to rest. Although Otonashi had some doubts in his heart, it was impossible to ask Sawada Tomohiko, so he could only choose to rest.

   In the middle of the night, Takuya Otonashi was also awakened by a loud noise. When Takuya Otonashi opened the door, he saw the panicked Aokigawa and Nohara Hiroshi, and the main hall of the shrine covered by a green light.

  Takuya Otonashi also learned from Aoki Kawaguchi that Tomohiko Sawada and Keiko Kanna were trapped in the main hall of the shrine, and Takuya Otonashi planned to attack the almost-physical green light with weapons.

   In the end, before Takuya Otonashi could make a move, he saw Tomohiko Sawada's sword flying through the air, and after staying for a while above the main hall of the shrine, it flew towards the east.

   Seeing Takuya Otonashi, who was in a bad situation, made eye contact with Aokigawa and Nohara Hiroyoshi, and decided to go to track the trace of this big sword. After all, this big sword is really weird.

Since then, Takuya Otonashi was also advancing in the heavy rain, and the big sword flying in the air seemed to know that Takuya Otonashi was also chasing it, and always kept it at the limit of Takuya Otonashi's vision, which made Takuya Otonashi feel more and more uneasy. , this big knife is really too evil.

   But it didn't take long, the big knife suddenly accelerated and rushed into a big mansion!

   That's right, in this wilderness, there was a big mansion, and there were red lanterns hanging outside the door. Under the baptism of the rainstorm, the red lanterns still glowed like blood.

   Otonashi also thought about it for a while, but still decided to enter this big mansion to take a look. After all, if something goes wrong, there must be a monster. Although Otonashi is also a little scared, curiosity can kill cats and people.

   So, Takuya Otonashi cautiously entered the mansion.

   After entering the mansion, Takuya Otonashi once again saw the big sword, which was inserted at the door of the main hall, and the main hall with the door closed was brilliantly lit and crowded.

Takuya Otonashi realized that the situation was not good at this time, and felt that he would definitely die if he entered the main hall, so he planned to turn around and leave the mansion, but at the moment when Takuya also turned around, the door closed automatically without wind. .

Then, what made Inno Takuya even more shocked happened. The gate turned into a wall, and then the wall began to twist like a living thing. The gray tentacles stretched out and danced continuously, causing Inno Taku to break too. The thought of walking against the wall.

  Taku Otone also knew that he had to go to the main hall to find out. . . Or kill yourself.

  Takuya Otonashi came to the front of the main hall, and heard all kinds of strange sounds coming from inside, which made Takuya Otonashi have two big heads, and his head suddenly felt like a paste.

   After an unknown amount of time, Otonashi came back to his senses and found that the sky was still dark and the rain was still falling. It was just that the main hall, which was full of people, was silent at this time, and the big sword at the door was nowhere to be seen.

  Taku Otonashi also looked back and found that the tentacles on the wall were still "splashing", so he took a deep breath and pushed open the door of the main hall.

   After all, he stretched his head with a knife and shrank his head with a knife. With the idea of ​​early death and early death, Otonashi also stepped into the main hall and found that the big knife was inserted in the main hall, and there was actually a stunning woman in the main hall with a fan covering her face!

   That's right, even if the woman's face was mostly covered by a fan, Takuya Otonashi can still be sure that this woman is a beautiful woman!

And when Liu Xing heard this, he was already unable to complain at this time. This time the mod really is Nyarlathotep doing something, because this fan-wielding woman is the swollen daughter, the avatar of Nyarlathotep. one!

  The bloated girl looks like a young girl with a fan covering her face, but behind the fan is a huge, bloated humanoid monster with tentacles that feeds on the brain!

   But what makes Liu Xing feel strange is that, according to the setting, the swollen girl should be doing activities in Shanghai Beach during the Republic of China, how did she suddenly find out that she was in the island country?

  Taku Otonashi also touted the beauty of the swollen girl, and finally got to the point - why he can live until now.

The swollen girl told Takuya Otonashi that the world will be destroyed in hundreds of years, so it needs a hero to save the world. At the beginning, the swollen girl chose Sawada Tomohiko, but Sawada Tomohiko forgot after gaining power. Because of her heart, the swollen daughter decided to give up Sawada Tomohiko and let Takuya Otonashi become the hero who saves the world.

Speaking of which, the swollen girl pointed to the broadsword and said, as long as Takuya Otonashi picks up this broadsword, you will be able to gain more powerful abilities than Tomohiko Sawada, and you will be able to live forever. After saving the world, Otonashi Takuya will become a god!

However, Takuya Otonashi has not lost his mind at this time. After all, Aokikawa has already told him the story of Sawada Tomohiko getting the big sword, so Otonashi also realizes that if he picks up this big sword, it will definitely do more harm than good. , so the opening rejected the swollen daughter.

And the swollen girl seemed to have guessed that Takuya Otonashi would also choose to refuse, so she shook her head with a smile, and told Takuya Otonashi that you can do without the big sword, but the task of saving the world is still up to you, and then It suddenly disappeared along with the entire big house, leaving only the big knife!

At this time, the rain passed and the sky was clear, and the dazed Otonashi also found that his body was full of strength, and he could easily knock down a big tree that was hugged by one person with one punch. The most important thing was that Otonashi also found that he had also obtained With the ability to recover quickly, some scraped and bleeding fists are instantly intact!

After studying his abilities, Takuya Otonashi remembered that he had to go back to the shrine now, so Takuya Otonashi wanted to pull out the sword that was mostly cut into the ground and return it to Sawada Tomohiko, only to find that he was exhausted. I couldn't pull out that big sword with all my strength, so I had no choice but to give up.

   In order to prevent others from finding out, Takuya Otonashi buried the sword with earth and stone, marked it, and returned to the shrine.

  PS: I got another red-bellied squirrel, which is really painful to grab. . .
