Chapter 1101 The Arrow of Sanity
"So, does this Rashomon have a grudge against the Shimazu family? How can he be so ruthless that he planned and implemented it for decades for just one Shimazu?" Zhang Jingxu stretched his waist and said.
Liu Xing put down his mobile phone, nodded and said: "If Rashomon and the Tokugawa Shogunate are in a cooperative relationship, then it is indeed possible that they have a very bad relationship with the Shimadzu family. After all, the Shimadzu family has always been a slave to the Tokugawa Shogunate. , they would find trouble with the Tokugawa shogunate whenever they had the opportunity; not to mention that although the Sado Island gold mine at that time had a huge mining volume, the gold mine on the Shimadzu family's side was also mined in a decent manner, so the colleagues were enemies, who Don’t you want to monopolize the island country’s gold business?”
Zhang Wenbing on the side nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, in ancient and modern times, gold has always been a hard currency. It can be said that whoever controls the gold mine controls the local economic lifeline, so Rashomon can Controlling Sado Island is definitely not as simple as this text says. After all, although Tokugawa Ieyasu became the new general of the island country by being a turtle, his strength should not be underestimated. The forces behind him This is even more true, so there must be some deeper reasons why Rashomon was able to capture Sado Island; and if nothing else, Sado Island should be Rashomon's second goal, and Rashomon's first goal may be The gold mine in the hands of the Shimadzu family was rejected by the Shimadzu family, so they formed a feud."
"How could the Shimadzu family hand over their gold mines to Rashomon back then? You must know that the reason why the Shimadzu family had the confidence to deal with the Tokugawa shogunate was because the gold mine could maintain the Shimadzu family's normal expenses. , so unless the Shimadzu family is crazy, it is impossible to hand over the gold mine to outsiders for management. However, I think Rashomon should not have enmity with the Shimadzu family for this reason, because if Rashomon really wants to If you want to deal with the Shimazu family, you shouldn’t have to wait for hundreds of years." Yin En said, shaking his head.
Liu Xing shrugged, glanced in the direction of the bedroom, and found that Sawada Yaon and others who had gone to change clothes had no intention of coming out, so he continued: "Actually, the grudges between the Shimazu family and Rashomon are not good for us. It doesn't matter, because judging from Rashomon's performance over the years, their overall style of doing things is relatively calm, especially the fact that they are still secretly opening branches all over the island country. It can be seen that they have a certain attitude towards certain people. Things are still very careful, so before we are sure, this Rashomon will definitely not really attack the Shimadzu family. At most, it will make Shimadzu stand up and disgust Shimazu Nakano. At that time, we will just Just watch the show next to it.”
Zhang Jingxu thought for a while, nodded and said: "Liu Xing, you are right. This Rashomon is indeed not the kind of secret church that likes to be the first to take the lead. So even if they want to attack Shimazu Nakano today, there is a high probability that they will." I will stop as soon as I find something wrong; but I am very interested in those branches of his, because logically speaking, a secret church of this size does not need to be so careful, not to mention that the secret church does not rely on You can win with more people, so I think this Rashomon might have another agenda."
"Is Rashomon planning to open a chain store to make money? By selling the rights to use its own trademark, the secret churches in various parts of the island country can change their names to Rashomon to create a false pretense and achieve a win-win situation?"
After Yin En complained a few words, he said seriously: "Of course, this possibility is almost zero, because for the secret church, money is really an external thing, so I think the Rashomon on Sado Island is actually just It’s just an empty shell, and the real Rashomon may be a small secret church with a membership of no more than two digits.”
"This is quite possible, because the famous large secret churches in the world usually only have a few people at their core. The rest of the people are, to put it bluntly, dispensable tools. So Rashomon It is really possible to separate one's core layer from the main body, and then use the main body to attract the attention of outsiders. The core layer hides in secret and determines the next move of the main body. In this way, Rashomon can become a centipede insect and die without death. Zombie, you can create a new Rashomon at any time... But is this Rashomon a bit too timid?" Liu Xing drank some water and said, "Also, Sawada Yain and the others are going to How long will it take to change clothes and come out, do I have to wait another half an hour?"
As soon as Liu Xing finished speaking, he saw Sawada Yayin and others coming out. Liu Xing quickly continued to drink his water with his head down.
"Okay, let's set out as planned now. If there are any problems, we will contact you by phone." Sawada Yaon said with a smile.
Five minutes later, Liu Xing and Zhang Jingxu got into a car sent by Shimadzu Nagano, and in this car there was an "old acquaintance" whom they met just yesterday - Shimadzu Nagano.
Today, Shimazu Nagano is fully armed, wearing a standard bodyguard suit, which is sunglasses, suit and leather gloves. In addition, Liu Xing can also see that Shimazu Nagano is also wearing a body armor, and There was also a pistol on his waist.
However, Liu Xing felt that Shimazu Nagano's equipment did not fit his ninja character.
After getting on the bus, Shimazu Nagano was the first to say: "On behalf of the head of the family, I would like to thank everyone in the Sawada family for stepping forward and helping our Shimadzu family tide over the difficulties. After today, you will become our Shimadzu family." As our guests, you will be able to enjoy real VIP service whenever you go to Kagoshima from now on."
Liu Xing nodded and smiled without saying a word, because although Shimazu Nagano's words were sincere, there was actually nothing worth saying. After all, considering the strength of the Shimazu family, it would be difficult to invite a few people It's nothing to travel around in your own territory, so this small favor is not in Liu Xing's eyes.
As for Zhang Jingxu, he went straight to the point and said: "Mr. Nagano, our Sawada family has received news that the Rashomon on Sado Island is preparing to be the leader this time, and there is an important figure in this Rashomon. Also named Shimazu, so this is..."
Looking at Zhang Jingxu who was hesitant to speak, Shimazu Nagano shook his head and said: "Yes, these are indeed facts. There is indeed a member of our Shimazu family who joined the Rashomon on Sado Island, but although this member His surname is Shimazu, but he has not actually left his name on our Shimadzu family's genealogy because his grandfather made unforgivable mistakes decades ago and was removed from our Shimazu family's genealogy. He was removed from the list and expelled from Kagoshima at the same time, so this guy named Shimazu Katsu is not a member of our Shimazu family in a strict sense."
After a pause, Shimazu Nagano sighed and said: "I believe you have already investigated this Shimazu Kaku, and you also know how Shimazu Kaku joined Rashomon, but the information you can guess is not So far, because when Shimazu just joined Rashomon, he was an ordinary believer. If he didn't have the name of our Shimazu family, he wouldn't have been able to do so in such a short period of time. He became an important figure in Rashomon within a short period of time, so our Shimazu family has long known that Rashomon is preparing to use Shimazu Kaku to deal with us, so we started sending people to monitor Shimazu Kaku's every move a long time ago. and an investigation into what he had been through before.”
"The following is the investigation data of our Shimazu family. First of all, Shimazu lived in Osaka before following his family to Sado Island. Now the Shimazu family still has a house in the center of Osaka. House, and Shimazu returned to that house after the Battle of Komu. During this period, he basically never left his house. He only occasionally went out to buy something, but the distance between activities was only a few meters away. It’s only a hundred meters away, and he has never had contact with suspicious people in the real world. Of course, the online world and dreamland are not within the scope of our monitoring.”
"Then there's Kaku Shimazu. When he first set foot on Sado Island with his family, he was already targeted by the Rashomon people, because Kaku Shimazu was just an elementary school student at that time and was not suitable to be absorbed into the army. Rashomon, so Rashomon very thoughtfully prepared a few friends for Shimazu. These friends often asked him why his last name was Shimazu, why he didn't live in Kagoshima, and why he wasn't so rich. , in short, it is to subtly make Shimazu Katsuo feel dissatisfied with the Shimazu family, so that it seems logical for Shimazu Katsura to join Rashomon."
"It is worth mentioning that the friends Shimazu carved are actually adults who have used illusions to disguise themselves, and one of them is an elder in Rashomon. So after learning about this, we I am even more worried about Rashomon, because Rashomon has spent so much effort for a Shimazu engraved, so they must want to rely on the Shimazu engraved to earn more benefits from our Shimazu family. So over the years, our Shimazu family has put a lot of manpower and material resources into Rashomon."
"After joining Rashomon, Shimazu had a smooth sailing. He was promoted to Rashomon's management without doing anything. Then he left Sado Island for the first time and went to Hokkaido to perform a mission. , although we sent a lot of people to follow the Shimadzu carving, and some people just waited in Hokkaido, we soon discovered a problem, that is, Rashomon also attaches great importance to the Shimadzu carving, and constantly asked questions along the way. We arranged for people to cover Shimazu, but in the end we lost Shimazu because Shimazu suddenly parachuted while flying, fell into the water, and left in a submarine."
"But based on some things that happened in Hokkaido later, we can infer that Shimazu solved a small problem in Hokkaido, that is, a small secret church also called Rashomon, but several of the founders of Rashomon They all spent some time on Sado Island, so we thought Shimazu was dealing with traitors. At the same time, because of this action, we knew that Shimazu had become an onmyoji, and his strength was not too great. Weak, but Rashomon gave him a good thing."
"So, will this good thing appear today?" Liu Xing couldn't help but ask.
Shimazu Nagano nodded and said seriously: "Yes, this good thing Shimazu has in hand is very suitable for Rashomon to use today; to put it simply, this is a weapon that can For a bow that releases spiritual attacks, as long as some items related to the target are hung on the bow, the bow can condense a spiritual arrow. However, this spiritual arrow can only cause damage to the target, and the hit rate is not the same. It’s not too high, the hit rate is only about 20% at most.”
"However, because Shimazu and the head of the family have the same origin, Shimazu only needs to use his own blood to condense spiritual arrows aimed at the head of the family. Therefore, although the hit rate of these spiritual arrows is very low, they cannot withstand large numbers. Ah, so after we show up later, we have to find a way to block the house owner as much as possible, because the spiritual arrow has no ability to ignore obstacles, and even if we are hit by an arrow, at most we will feel spiritual Just in a trance."
Really? I do not believe.
Liu Xing swallowed the words that reached his lips.
As a senior player in the Cthulhu Run game lobby, Liu Xing feels that he can still deduce the exact information of the bow based on Shimazu Nagano's description of the bow. The most important point is that the bow caused The damage will be related to the san value.
If it hits the target accurately, the target will lose more than five san points, but if it hits someone else, it will only cause a little san value or basic damage.
Of course, this bow will not be like what Shimadzu Nagano said. It can be used as long as Shimadzu keeps bleeding. Liu Xing estimates that this bow will also absorb the user's San value every time it is used, so Shimazu will only use it four times at most, unless Shimazu is willing to let himself fall into a temporary state of madness, but the possibility of this is not high, because Shimazu should not have any plans to die with Shimazu Nakano. . . But this is not certain. If Shimazu feels that Shimazu Nakano's grandfather has ruined their family's life, then Shimazu may really be angry in his heart and evil.
All in all, Liu Xing felt that he could block this arrow for Shimazu Nakano, but he would have to "add money" to do so.
"By the way, although our focus of prevention is Shimazu, we cannot ignore the other people in Rashomon, because Rashomon on Sado Island is related to many legendary monsters, so Rashomon and other The secret church is different, they have a lot of cards to play."
