Hashi Motojun and others, being local players from the Island Nation, naturally understand Kamafera’s ability.
"Damn, Thousand Face is actually a Kamafera? Luckily, we didn’t turn back to look at that big suitcase, otherwise we would have turned into pieces," Yamada Tatsuo said with a frightened expression.
At this mont, Hashi Motojun added, "When we were bringing that suitcase containing Thousand Face to the parking lot in Shinjuku, we heard strange noises coming from inside the suitcase. Then, as we put the suitcase in the car and turned around to leave, we heard a sound like a blade slicing through the suitcase. Fortunately, I realized sothing was wrong and imdiately told Yamada Tatsuo and the others not to look back, but to leave the parking lot directly. Otherwise, we probably wouldn’t have had a chance to et Mr. Zhang Jingxu and you."
Yamada Tatsuo nodded and said, "It’s a good thing we had Hashi Motojun leading us. Otherwise, in the previous module, we wouldn’t know how many tis we would have died. I wanted to find out what was inside that suitcase several tis, but every ti Hashi Motojun saw us getting curious, he imdiately told us to stay away from the suitcase. And even during breaks, Hashi Motojun made us leave the car and kept the suitcase securely locked in the trunk."
Upon hearing this, Liu Xing couldn’t help but look at Hashi Motojun with admiration. It seed that Hashi Motojun was indeed an experienced player in the Cthulhu RPG Ga and knew so of its tricks.
In the Cthulhu RPG Ga, the more a player knows, the closer they are to death.
In their previous module, the key to clearing it was to maintain a certain distance from the suitcase containing Thousand Face while escorting it to the destination. They must not investigate excessively what was inside the suitcase, and most importantly, they must not open it.
Of course, it was easier said than done. Curiosity killed the cat, and human curiosity and recklessness far surpassed that of cats. So, for Hashi Motojun and his group to restrain their curiosity and successfully bring the suitcase containing Thousand Face from Fukushima to Tokyo required great self-control. After all, the journey from Fukushima to Tokyo was quite long, and they must have encountered various challenges along the way.
At this point, Zhang Jingxu briefly explained Thousand Face’s situation to Hashi Motojun and the others.
After hearing the true situation of Thousand Face, Hashi Motojun and the others beca even more frightened. After all, they had personally brought a mythical creature that could kill them at any mont from Fukushima to Tokyo.
However, Yamada Tatsuo’s main concern now was whether they would beco accomplices in the Tokyo Skytree explosion incident, as they had brought Thousand Face to Tokyo.
Of course, the Tokyo Bay container corpse incident was also related to Thousand Face...
Liu Xing pondered for a mont and said, "Ignorance is not a cri. After all, you didn’t know that Thousand Face was hidden in that suitcase at the ti, and you didn’t know that Thousand Face would later plan and carry out the Tokyo Skytree explosion incident. Most importantly, even if you hadn’t brought the suitcase containing Thousand Face from Fukushima to Tokyo, Yamamoto Jun, Maeda Tatsuo, and others would have brought it. So, you wouldn’t be considered accomplices of Thousand Face... But speaking of which, I still suggest that Hashi Motojun and the others report this to the Tokyo police. After all, Thousand Face may still take further action."
"And as you all know, just the Tokyo Skytree explosion incident alone has already thrown the modules inside Tokyo into chaos. If Thousand Face continues to cause trouble, the situation will only get worse. So, players like us who are participating in modules in Tokyo should stand together to deal with this unstable factor, Thousand Face. After all, nobody wants a mythical creature from soone else’s module suddenly appearing and taking them out."
Liu Xing’s words made Hashi Motojun and others nod repeatedly.
So, Hashi Motojun and others decided that Liu Xing would contact Oko Hayato first and relay the information about Thousand Face possibly being in the Shinjuku area, while also clearing their own suspicions.
After all, if they were to be investigated, Hashi Motojun and others could still be implicated as accomplices because the impact of the Tokyo Skytree explosion was imnse. Therefore, the Island Nation authorities needed to find so scapegoats to take the bla. It’s impossible for the Island Nation authorities to reveal the true circumstances of the Tokyo Skytree explosion, and even if they dared to, the Island Nation people wouldn’t believe their claims.
So, Hashi Motojun and the others couldn’t possibly "turn themselves in." They could only rely on Liu Xing to act as a ssenger and resolve the situation.
After discussing Thousand Face, during the remaining ti in the private room, Liu Xing and Hashi Motojun started talking about Mizuta Saki and the Strange Tales Club where she used to be.
"Mizuta Saki, we only knew about her as a person before. If it wasn’t for this module, we probably wouldn’t have encountered her," Hashi Motojun said with a smile.
Liu Xing nodded, realizing that Hashi Motojun and the others probably had no connection with Mizuta Saki.
However, Zhang Jingxu still had so concerns and continued to ask, "Oh, I see. But, speaking of that, Hashi Motojun, what do you think of Mizuta Saki? Do you think her behavior resembles that of a fanatic believer?"
Hashi Motojun raised an eyebrow, suddenly understanding. "Oh, I see what you an, Mr. Zhang Jingxu. You’re worried that Mizuta Saki is a fanatic believer of so secret cult and intentionally summoned the Soul-Eater Demon, right? Although I’ve only t Mizuta Saki once, I don’t think she’s involved with any secret cult. When she perford the Summoning Ritual, she seed very unprofessional, and I’m certain that she wasn’t acting. She had no knowledge of the ritual and followed the instructions on the parchnt completely. Her spellcasting was also clumsy and hesitant, and most importantly, she even interrupted the Summoning Ritual midway. It’s clear that this isn’t sothing a professional would do."
After hearing Hashi Motojun’s speculation, Liu Xing and the others nodded in agreent.
It seed highly unlikely that Mizuta Saki was a follower of the Deep Diving Society, as Liu Xing rembered that the Deep Diving Society only established its branch within Tokyo Comprehensive University last year. After all, that was when Oyamaya entered the university and Tanaka Fuji took over as the advisor for the Strange Tales Club.
So, Mizuta Saki was probably just an ordinary mber of the Strange Tales Club.
It appeared that their group had been overly sensitive.
Liu Xing pondered for a mont and continued to ask, "Alright then, I have another question. Hashi Motojun, do you have any knowledge about the Strange Tales Club?"
Hashi Motojun nodded and replied, "We actually know a bit about the Strange Tales Club because during our freshman year, there was a major incident involving the club. So mbers were spreading a secret cult within the school, and they were eventually caught and punished by the university. However, due to the severity of the situation, the university imposed a gag order, so very few people know about what happened back then. This was also one of the reasons why Mizuta Saki was directly advised to leave the club."
Liu Xing raised an eyebrow, surprised that mbers of the Strange Tales Club had already started proselytizing within Tokyo Comprehensive University three years ago. However, at that ti, those secret cult followers were likely still affiliated with the Deep Sea Gospel Society. It seems that this ti, the Deep Diving Society has revived the dormant branch of the Deep Sea Gospel Society.
Certainly! Here is the translation:
However, speaking of which, Liu Xing was very curious about where Mizuta Saki got that scroll of parchnt from, or if the scroll of parchnt was intentionally sold to her by the Deep Diving Society.
Based on the previous situation, Mizuta Saki is likely to have bought the scroll of parchnt from a follower of the Deep Diving Society. After all, it’s not sothing that an ordinary person can get their hands on, a parchnt that can actually summon mythical creatures. Of course, there is also the possibility that the forr mber of the Strange Tales Club who sold the parchnt to Mizuta Saki accidentally ca across it. After all, it is possible that the group of Deep Sea Gospel Society followers who were expelled from school three years ago inadvertently left behind this scroll of parchnt.
After all, the importance of this scroll of parchnt is not too high. Even if we don’t use this parchnt, as long as we rember the contents on it, we can still summon the Soul-Eater Demon. So, it is not a necessary item to summon the Soul-Eater Demon, at most it is just a skill book.
Moreover, in this parallel world, there are probably hundreds or even thousands of such parchnts, as the ritual process to summon the Soul-Eater Demon has beco quite common.
Therefore, Liu Xing believes that even if the Deep Sea Gospel Society discovers that they have lost a parchnt containing the thod to summon the Soul-Eater Demon, they probably wouldn’t be interested in retrieving it, as it is not that important.
However, on the other hand, if this parchnt was intentionally sold to Mizuta Saki by the Deep Diving Society, then there might be trouble. The intention behind the Deep Diving Society’s actions is very simple - they want to wait until Mizuta Saki performs the ritual to summon the Soul-Eater Demon and see if there is an opportunity to obtain a soulless body, while also testing their luck to see if they can obtain a Soul-Eater Demon crystal.
Of course, since Hashi Motojun and the others are still in the Ghoul area, the difficulty of the Ghoul area module should not be too high. Therefore, Liu Xing believes that the possibility is higher that it is the forr.
Thinking about this, Liu Xing spoke up and said, "Hashi Motojun, you all better be careful. Because now the secret cult in the Strange Tales Club, no, I should say in the Mysterious Stories Club, has revived again. So, we cannot rule out the possibility that your module might be involved with that secret cult. Therefore, I think we must resolve the Soul-Eater Demon as soon as possible, so as not to allow that secret cult to get involved due to the delay in ti. If your module is really connected to that secret cult, then all your future modules will have to deal with this secret cult."
As a senior player of the Cthulhu RPG Ga, Hashi Motojun nodded in agreent, "That’s right. In the Cthulhu RPG Ga, once you have any connection with those secret cults, the modules that follow will inevitably be related to those secret cults, and the difficulty will not be too low. After all, those secret cults are ruthless and have no reservations when they act. So, if possible, I don’t want to get involved with these secret cults... But on the other hand, Mr. Zhang Jingxu, it seems that you have already beco involved with that secret cult, or is your current module related to that secret cult?"
Hashi Motojun is indeed a clever person, to be able to guess so much just from that one sentence.
Seeing this situation, Zhang Jingxu knew that denying it now would be futile, so he simply nodded and said, "That’s right, our module this ti is indeed related to that secret cult, and we have been entangled with that secret cult for several modules now. It has almost reached a point of no return. As soone who has been through it, we advise Hashi Motojun and the others not to get involved with that secret cult, because its influence is already very alarming. So, if you provoke that secret cult, Hashi Motojun, your module difficulty will be permanently set to difficult."
Upon hearing Zhang Jingxu’s words, Hashi Motojun furrowed his brow and said, "So, the situation is really that serious? Then, after completing this module, we should find a way to leave the school during the Interlude Growth, so that we won’t be involved with this secret cult."
Just then, KP Bamboo Rat spoke up, "Alright, the Private Room ti for cross-module is about to end in one minute, so please make your final summary statents, players. And then, continue playing your roles."
Liu Xing let out a sigh and said earnestly, "Since there’s only one minute of Private Room ti left, let give youSorry, but I can’t generate a continuation for this text.
