Chapter 1373 The Falling Ghost Machine

No, this should be called a ballista trap.

What is the point of Operation Ballista? It means that there must be someone who appears to be your teammate, or is currently your teammate, but he may betray your enemy at any time, so do you want to kill this possible second or fifth guy now while you still have a chance?

Judging from the current situation, the Wakasa Takeda family and Oda Tatsukatsu lineage are very much like this kind of young people.

So if these two possible young men are surrounded by then, should we and our group go to help them?

If these two young men haven't behaved strangely, then rescuing them can still be put on the agenda. But once they show signs that they may surrender to the enemy, let alone rescuing them, Liu Xing estimates that the second war zone's The commander will definitely give them an Italian cannon without hesitation. . . If they have.

However, just because there are signs does not mean that they will definitely happen, so until these possible second- and fifth-year-olds actually rebel, they will still be members of the Wu family faction. Therefore, allowing them to be attacked will affect the morale of some people in the Wu family faction. , and when you start to attack your own people, the number of people whose morale will be damaged will increase, and these people will even desert because of this, because no one knows whether their teammates will suddenly appear and stab themselves in the back. After all, there are certain conflicts between many forces and "allies" in the Wu family faction.

Of course, this will only be a rare case, but once it occurs, it may affect the whole body. After all, the overall defense line of Mount Fuji is actually very fragile, because various war zones and even various forces are, to put it bluntly, in They fight on their own, so once someone chooses to run away, their defense line may collapse, and then more defense lines will collapse as a result.

This is where the defender's disadvantage lies.

Although the defender can rely on dangers and respond to changes by remaining unchanged, which seems to have a great advantage, in fact it hides a huge crisis.

The reason why the alliance of Wu family factions was formed was entirely because interests temporarily covered up conflicts, so a group of forces temporarily gathered together. Therefore, you can't expect these forces to really help each other and attack and defend the alliance. In addition, the Gongwu War only divides the scope of interests and does not really reach the point of "life or death". Therefore, except for a small number of forces, it is impossible for other forces to invest all their wealth in a round of competition.

Therefore, for the Wu family faction as the defender, once a certain force chooses to retreat, other surrounding forces may follow suit. After all, if they do not retreat, they may have to fight alone, so it may be just one In the time it takes to smoke, the entire war zone will become deserted.

At that time, there will be a chain reaction, and several war zones may retreat at the same time, handing over the most dangerous levels to others. By then, everyone may gather in the most important fifth war zone, which is the top of Mount Fuji.

But it is not easy to climb Mount Fuji. After all, the altitude of Mount Fuji is right there. Therefore, no matter how determined the fanatical believers of the secret church are, they will easily be defeated by various altitude sickness. Even if they hold on by then, Once you reach the top of the mountain, you will only become a burden.

Therefore, the defenders of the fifth theater are not composed of a few forces, but mythical creatures sent by all the forces of the Wu family, as well as some strong fanatic believers to serve as auxiliary soldiers.

Therefore, although the fifth war zone is the most important, the number of defenders is the smallest among all war zones. And according to the last meeting held yesterday, if the defenders in other war zones are defeated, they will select a suitable manpower to supplement the defense of the third war zone. The fifth theater, while the remaining people will return to the command headquarters to wait for orders. Of course, they may also go to the ninth theater where Zhang Jingxu and others are to make repairs and wait for new orders.

A leading general once said that when the artillery fire breaks out on the battlefield, all the plans before the war will come to nothing, because the ruthless and terrifying battlefield will destroy the minds of most people and make them forget. everything previously remembered, so they are less likely to act according to their original plan. . . Unless this is a highly capable army.

Obviously, today's Wu family faction is not even a third-rate army, so no one actually expects everyone to act according to the plan set at the beginning.

Therefore, the outcome of the public-military battle depends on which side can hold on longer.

"If the Wakasa Takeda family and the Oda Tatsukatsu lineage are all secrets left by Mikage Ichi, then when will they be activated? Or why would Mikage Ichi want the public faction to win the battle of public martial arts?"

Sonoda Juri said with a puzzled look on his face: "For Mikage, who has provoked both sides, the outcome of the Kōwu battle would be most beneficial to him if both sides suffer losses, so what he has to do now should be to sit on the mountain and watch the fight between tigers. Instead of joining the civil war again."

"Zuri, you are wrong. Mikage did this just for the sake of manipulation, because the two chess pieces of the Wakasa Takeda family may cause a crisis of trust among the Wu family factions when necessary. At that time, a series of chain reactions will make the Wu family The faction suffers a big loss; so once the battlefield situation starts to turn towards the Wu faction, then Mikage can launch those two hidden stones to make the Wu faction suffer. In this way, the overall situation will be relatively balanced, and the losses of both sides will become greater. .”

Speaking of this, Liu Xing couldn't help but frowned, "But this is still a good thing, because I suspect that Mikage may take this opportunity to cause trouble again. After all, Mount Fuji is the most important area of ​​the island country. There used to be Many ancient gods live here, so..."

Before Liu Xing finished speaking, he heard a loud noise not far away, as if something had exploded.

Could it be that the public faction has already launched an attack and even used missiles?

At this time, the intercom suddenly rang, "A medium-sized passenger plane has just crashed near the No. 9 War Zone, so please leave the surrounding personnel to carry out rescue and fire-fighting work."

A medium-sized airliner?

"If it is a medium-sized passenger plane, it should be a regional passenger plane operated by the major aerospace companies of the island country that specializes in domestic routes. However, I remember that a few days ago, the island country officially issued an air traffic control order to prevent aircraft from approaching the Mount Fuji area to avoid being affected by signals. There was an accident due to shielding, so this plane didn’t come here intentionally to cause trouble, right?”

As Alice spoke, she ordered the members of the Yellow Worship Cult who were on standby to check the situation and rescue and put out the fire. Although under normal circumstances, if the plane exploded after crashing again, there would be almost no chance of survival for the people on the plane. sex. . . So the focus now is to put out the fire.

The reason why the Aokigahara Sea of ​​Trees can be named "sea" means that the density of trees in the Aokigahara Sea of ​​Trees is very high, almost to the point of blocking out the sky and the sun, so it looks like a green ocean from the outside.

So when a plane crashes and explodes in the Aokigahara Sea of ​​Trees, a fire is definitely inevitable. If this fire cannot be eliminated in the bud, then the entire Aokigahara Sea of ​​Trees can be renamed Aokiga The original sea of ​​​​fire.

Therefore, the people who stayed at the secret base took action. Even Liu Xing, who was still in a wheelchair, came to the side of the crashed plane.

Fortunately, the weather in the past two days was not very dry, and the Aokigahara seawater had sufficient vapor, so the fire caused by the crash did not spread far and was extinguished by the people who came to put out the fire.

But what surprised Liu Xing was that the plane in front of him looked a little old, because the surrounding pieces of the plane were rusty.

Could it be that this is an old plane from a small airline that accidentally crashed here because it was in disrepair?

Just as Liu Xing was about to say something, he saw Hu Li suddenly appearing next to him.

"There is no human scent."

Hu Li sniffed and said with certainty: "There is no human scent on this plane, and there are no traces of magic. So have you humans developed such a large drone?"

no one?

Liu Xing looked at Hu Li with a puzzled look, and then realized that he did not smell the legendary barbecue smell, so was this plane really a drone?

How is this possible? !

Liu Xing touched his chin and gave the explanation he could think of, "Is this a kamikaze bomber deliberately sent by the public faction in an attempt to force us to leave the Aokigahara Sea of ​​Trees through fire, so the pilot of the plane arrived at After the predetermined location, you parachuted directly to escape, and the plane that lost control passed through the inertia and landed here with us?"

"Liu Xing, you are underestimating my sense of smell. As long as someone has been on this plane within three days, I will be able to smell him, unless this person can completely erase his own smell. , but logically he doesn't have to do this; in addition, this aircraft has a very rotten smell, as if it has been idle for many years, and the storage environment is also very bad, so many parts have problems. .”

Hu Li looked at the plane and said seriously: "It seems that this plane is not simple. If it was normal, it should not have crashed now, but it would have disintegrated directly in the air, and the scattered parts would directly turn into shotguns." Bombing the Aokigahara Sea of ​​Trees, so there should be a mysterious force that brought it here.”

"So this plane was here intentionally?"

Yin Luyang looked at the plane, suddenly slapped his thigh and said, "No, I seem to know this plane."

Yin Luyang said as he ran towards the plane.

While Yin Luyang was investigating the origin of the plane, Liu Xing asked Hu Li: "Hu Li, didn't you go to the shrine? Why did you come back just after you got there?"

Hu Li shrugged and replied: "Aren't I coming back to deliver express delivery to you? After all, mountain roads like Mount Fuji are easy to go up and difficult to go down. Ordinary people will fall half to death if they are not careful, so I changed back to my true self. You can come down faster."

After saying that, Hu Li took out an amulet from her pocket, which is the characteristic amulet of the island country's shrine.

If nothing else, this should be the guardian of Asama Shrine, and the guardian that Hu Li handed to Liu Xing seemed to be to protect marriage.

But in Liu Xing's opinion, there seems to be nothing special about this guardian, because this guardian did not trigger the introduction of props when it came into Liu Xing's hands.

Looking at Liu Xing who looked confused, Hu Li pointed to the side of Yu Shou. Liu Xing turned Yu Shou over and looked over. As a result, he saw a bamboo leaf notch on the side of Yu Shou, and The nick still looks brand new.

"Taketori?!"

Liu Xing couldn't help but said: "This bamboo leaf pattern was either carved by Zhutori or Muhuakaiyeji, but Muhuakaiyeji should not use such small tricks to deceive us, because in Muhuakaiye Hime seems to think that we and Taketori are on the same team. Now Taketori is hiding because he knows that he has reappeared, but he is still in contact with us secretly, so unless Konohana Kaiye Hime gets the exact information, Otherwise it would be impossible to test us with this pattern.”

"That's right, we also thought that this was Taketori trying to contact us, so we didn't dare to contact you directly using the walkie-talkie, so I volunteered to come down to you with this guard, but I saw him on the way. The plane fell straight down." Hu Li said with a smile.

Liu Xing nodded, and then realized something was wrong, "Wait a minute, Hu Li, are you saying that this plane fell straight from the sky? This is unscientific. Logically speaking, a passenger plane in flight should fall in a curve. Yes, unless the plane suddenly appeared in mid-air and then fell down due to loss of power."

At this time, Yin Luyang came back and said: "Liu Xing, you are right. This plane suddenly appeared in mid-air and fell directly, because this plane actually disappeared more than 30 years ago."

"Is there such a thing?"

Alice was stunned for a moment, then looked at the plane, and then suddenly realized: "Could this plane be the legendary Dorothy?"

"Yes, this is the Dorothy, because I just checked the interior decoration of this aircraft and found that there is Dorothy's name marked on the back of a seat. In addition, the model of this aircraft is also the same as that of Dorothy. The Dorothy is exactly the same.”

Hearing what Yin Luyang said, Liu Xing knew that this plane was actually a ghost plane.

Like ghost ships, there have been many ghost planes in history that suddenly disappeared and then suddenly appeared after a few years or even decades. Some of the planes were empty, and some even took with them all the passengers who disappeared that year. came back, and these passengers showed no signs of aging. . . Of course, many rumors about ghost machines are based on false rumors.

However, in the parallel world of the Cthulhu Run Game Hall, ghost machines definitely exist.

PS: Happy Labor Day, okay?
