Chapter 1303 The Middle

different points in time.

This is a troublesome thing, because players at different points in time cannot exchange information. Of course, players at the previous point in time can leave information for subsequent players.

However, the span of time at this point is too big, right?

Judging from the current situation, the time point where Ding Kun and Zhang Jingxu were located should have been ten years ago. However, Zhang Wenbing and others who are still missing do not know that time point. Of course, the players at the previous time point If they are not aware of the current situation, it will be difficult for them to think of retaining important information in some way.

But what puzzles Liu Xing most now is, how can the time span of this module be so large? What could Zhang Jingxu and Ding Kun do ten years ago?

Liu Xing, who was confused, sat on the ridge of the field and waited until all the water in his head evaporated before deciding where to go next - Kujing Village.

If Yamashita Tatsumi did not lie, Liu Xing should be able to catch the live broadcast of the "Shenyin" incident if he goes to Kujing Village now, and more clues should be discovered by then.

Therefore, Liu Xing simply tidied up his clothes and then went directly to Kujing Village, but this time Liu Xing did not meet Yamashita Tatsumi at the entrance of the village.

On the way here, Liu Xing also thought about the meaning of Yamashita Tatsumi's name, because Liu Xing felt that the name did not sound ordinary, but the combination of the two words "Chen" and "Si" was a bit strange.

In Liu Xing's view, his grandfather was a person with strong learning ability. After retiring from the army, he went to a medical school and studied for three years before becoming a qualified doctor. He was also somewhat famous in his hometown, but in normal times While visiting clinics and sitting in the classroom, I also taught myself traditional Chinese geography.

Of course, this geography is not that geography. To put it simply, it is the academic field of Feng Shui. Therefore, Liu Xing often used his grandfather’s compass as a compass when he was a child.

As Liu Xing grew older, he also read his grandfather's geography notes out of curiosity. As a result, the content was beyond Liu Xing's ability to accept at the time, so Liu Xing ended up just referring to the Heavenly Stems, Earthly Branches, Nine Palaces and Bagua. I memorized the basic knowledge.

So after Liu Xing recalled carefully for a moment, he remembered that "Chen" and "Si" both refer to the earthly branches, and they were ranked fifth and sixth respectively.

This is a bit strange.

As we all know, island countries have always been influenced by Chinese culture, so their naming also has Chinese characteristics. The names will express the expectations of parents and elders for their children, or contain some special meanings.

For example, Liu Xing's "star" was obtained by his grandfather, which means that he hopes Liu Xing can shine like a star in the sky in the future. . . However, according to an unreliable source, Liu Xing’s xin was originally a xin worth three gold. Because Liu Xing’s grandfather made a fortune based on Liu Xing’s birth date and believed that Liu Xing was short of gold, so he used the word “xin”. However, Liu Xing's parents felt that writing the character "Xin" was too cumbersome, so they finally changed it to the character "星".

Back to the topic, under normal circumstances, if "Chen" and "Si" are used as names, it means that the person was born in the Year of the Dragon or the Year of the Snake, so it is unlikely that they will appear in a person's name at the same time. Unless Yamashita Tatsumi's mother started giving birth on the last day of the Year of the Dragon and didn't end until the first day of the Year of the Snake.

It's possible, but it's not very likely.

What's more, this is the world of the Cthulhu Running Game.

According to Liu Xing's previous speculation, everyone in Kujing Village should have settled here with some ulterior secret, so they are nothing more than members of a mysterious organization or a secret church, so Yamashita Tatsumi's " "Tatsumi" may be a code name.

56?

That’s not quite right. There are twelve earthly branches in total, so you can’t directly combine the 6 represented by Chen with the 5 represented by Si.

But this is not important, anyway, the name itself is just a code name, and the code name of the code name is still a code name.

Liu Xing walked into Kujing Village while thinking.

Looking at Liu Xing, a stranger, an old man who was hanging clothes at the entrance of the village came over and asked: "Young man, what are you doing in our Kujing Village? And what's going on with you?"

Liu Xing smiled bitterly and said helplessly: "When I came to Kujing Village, my foot slipped and I fell into the field; I am the representative of a construction company in Nagoya, because the municipal planning has decided to turn this area into a field." The area is classified as an industrial zone, so I will come here on behalf of the company to negotiate with you about the demolition conditions."

"What industrial area?!"

The old man's voice suddenly became louder, "We will not move because this is our home."

Liu Xing had already guessed that such a thing would happen, so he said in a good voice: "Old man, I have inquired before coming here. Your Kujing Village has only been moved here in recent years, so we can also talk about it." There is not much local sentiment, which is why our company chose to come to your Kujing Village to discuss relocation first. We hope that your Kujing Village can stand up and set an example for other surrounding villages. Of course, we will not treat you badly. For you, the various compensation amounts will definitely give you the highest level."

As soon as he said this, the old man's expression became a little hesitant, and this scene made Liu Xing even more confused, because according to Liu Xing's thoughts when he came, the villagers at this time should continue to object without hesitation. .

Could it be that the secrets they need to keep can be transferred continuously?

At this time, several people came over. After hearing about Liu Xing's intention, their expressions were similar to that of the old man, and they all looked a little moved.

"Well, you'd better go and talk to our village chief about this topic. If the village chief agrees to the relocation, then we have no reason to refuse."

A young man stood up, pointed to Tatsumi's house at the foot of the mountain and said, "Should I take you over to see the village chief now?"

This is of course what Liu Xing wants.

Ever since, Liu Xing once again met Yamashita Tatsumi and Yamashita Tatsumi's daughter Yamashita Meizi.

After Liu Xing told the prepared speech again, Yamashita Tatsumi fell into silence, and Liu Xing walked out of the room on the pretext of "going out to smoke" and sat in front of Yamashita Tatsumi's house to rest, from time to time. Focusing on the big tree.

But not long after, the villagers of Kujing Village who heard about the relocation gathered together and began to ask Liu Xing about the specific relocation method and compensation details. It seemed that they did not want to stay in Kujing Village all the time.

Therefore, Liu Xing also spoke loudly, raising the compensation amount, and also hinted that if Kujing Village could cooperate with his company to persuade other surrounding villages to relocate, Kujing Village would also be able to receive an additional benefit fee.

Looking at the smiling villagers of Kujing Village in front of him, Liu Xing knew that the heat had come, so he began to ask the villagers in front of him about the situation of other surrounding villages and the difficulties that might affect the relocation process in these villages. The result really made Liu Xing Xing got a lot of useful clues.

The first is Goldfish Village, which Liu Xing has visited before.

Goldfish Village is the richest village in this area because this village existed a long time ago and was formerly the property of a wealthy Nagoya businessman. As a result, the wealthy businessman encountered various misfortunes in his later years and did not even have an heir. , so the wealthy businessman converted to Buddhism and exchanged his shop in Nagoya for incense money, and the land was given directly to his tenant farmers.

Therefore, the starting point of Goldfish Village is much higher than that of other surrounding villages. In addition, the "gold" fish made Goldfish Village rich and famous, so that at this time, Goldfish Village has already reached the same level as the city in terms of income. The people are almost there,

As for the person in Goldfish Village who may hinder the relocation, it is the old village chief.

In an ordinary small village like this, unless there are special circumstances, the son usually inherits the position of village chief from his father. Therefore, the old village chief’s family has held the position of goldfish village chief for hundreds of years. Therefore, the old village chief’s relationship with Goldfish The village attaches great importance to it, or the old village chief has regarded Jinyu Village as his own property. Therefore, if Jinyu Village is to be relocated, the old village chief will most likely be the first to stand up and oppose it. After all, this relocation is Relative to digging up the roots of his home.

And if the old village chief disagrees, then it will be difficult to negotiate the relocation of Goldfish Village.

Regarding this, Liu Xing remained skeptical, because Liu Xing had already told the old village chief about his "identity and purpose of coming", but the old village chief did not have much reaction. Of course, this is also possible. It's because I mentioned that the plan for the industrial zone has not yet been implemented.

But this is not important, because Liu Xing is not really here to carry out demolition.

In addition, what makes Liu Xing most interesting is that the villagers of Kujing Village believe that they have been squeezed out by other surrounding villages after they moved here. The initiator of all this is the old village chief of Jinyu Village, because here Only the head of Goldfish Village has the ability to do this.

When talking about this, Liu Xing also asked the villagers of Kujing Village why they took root here.

What surprised Liu Xing was that these villagers did not have any taboos about this matter. Instead, they spoke out very generously and summed it up in four words - natural disaster and man-made disaster.

Originally, the villagers of Kujing Village lived in Wakayama County. However, after an earthquake, pollutants leaked from a nearby chemical plant. As a result, the original land of Kujing Village was no longer suitable for production and life, so the villagers of Kujing Village moved here. .

After knowing this, Liu Xing finally understood why there were souvenirs from Wakayama Prefecture in that backpack.

etc.

An idea flashed in Liu Xing's mind, and he suddenly understood a lot of things.

First of all, the time point where I am now is not the last time point in this module, because after this, someone will come here with the backpack and the contents of the backpack, except for the lock.

Because the lock and the note in the lock were indeed left by him.

Then, the person who caused the mirror world to "die" was not him, nor Yin En before, but other players at a later point in time, namely Zhang Wenbing and others, because according to Masachi Sakai, he was the one who dealt with it at that time. There are many people in that mirror.

So judging from the current situation, Liu Xing can basically determine that this module should have three time points, among which Zhang Jingxu and Ding Kun are at the earliest time point, while he and Yin En are at the middle time point. As for Zhang Wenbing He and his master Zixuan, as well as Li Hanxing and Sun Huiwen were at the last moment.

So now the question comes, where is the lock? How should I let Zhang Wenbing and others get this lock?

And why did he leave such a note? At the same time, the content of the note is Turner?

Could Tennar also appear in this mod?

It seems that this is really possible.

Because this world is not a real world, Turner in this world is a tool man in a strict sense.

So how will Turner, the tool man, appear?

Liu Xing estimated that it was either related to the mirror or Sakai Masachi's father. Of course, Turner might also be related to both.

Then this plot is very interesting.

But now was not the time to get distracted. Liu Xing, who immediately came to his senses, continued to inquire about the situation in other villages.

Next is Nohara Village where Nohara Saburo is located.

As the name suggests, Nohara Village is a typical village dominated by a certain clan. Eighty percent of the people in Nohara Village have the surname Nohara, and the remaining 20% ​​are women with other surnames who married into Nohara Village. .

This is also a strange thing about Nohara Village. Women who marry into Nohara Village do not need to change their surnames unless you strongly request it. This is also the most puzzling thing for other surrounding villages, but the village chief of Nohara Village never does it. To explain this, just say that this is a rule passed down from our ancestors.

The laws of the ancestors are immutable.

Therefore, the villagers of Kujing Village are very worried that Nohara Village will be very conservative and unwilling to leave this land. After all, Nohara Village has been rooted in this land for as long as Goldfish Village.

However, people like Saburo Nohara's generation really want to leave Nohara Village and live in Nagoya, because they have seen in Nagoya how convenient life in a big city is, and some jobs are easier and more profitable than farming, so Kuei Village All the villagers suggested that Liu Xing use this to provoke conflicts between the younger generation and the older generation in Nohara Village.

Finally, there is a village called Craftsman Village. This village was originally established by a group of craftsmen. They used to make various furniture and tools and send them to Nagoya for sale. However, with the continuous advancement of industrialization, the business of Craftsman Village has become more and more popular. It was so bad that most of the craftsmen chose to leave, and then the nearby villagers occupied the magpie nest. Therefore, the current Craftsman Village and the Craftsman Village of the past only have the same name.
