Chapter 1436: Scheme against each other (black pork ham tastes okay)
"Brother, I'm back."
When Sha Jiuye opened the door of the office, she was filled with joy. After all, she could finally see Duanmu Huai. Although it was just a Golden Week holiday, for Shajiuye, it had been a long time since he had seen her.
"I also bought you a lot of souvenirs... Meijia also asked me to bring you a gift... Huh?"
"Ah, you're back."
However, the person who came out to answer the door surprised Shajiuye.
"Satori-san?"
Looking at Mianme Saotori who came to greet him with a bright smile on his face, Shajuye was in a daze for a moment and even wondered if he had gone to the wrong place.
"Why are you here?"
"Because Satori thinks it's more fun to be around the teacher?"
"???"
Hearing Mianme Satori's casual answer, Shajuye looked confused, but soon, she saw two other people sitting there - only a beautiful girl with silver hair and a gray dress was sitting at the bar. Brewing coffee in front of her, while on another sofa next to her, a blond girl was hugging a bear doll, curled up and staring uneasily.
"Uh...Is this...?"
At this moment, Shajiuye's mind was full of questions. Although the appearance of Mianmu Zuotiao surprised her, as one of the Five Swordsmen, it was not surprising that she and Duanmu Huai had an intersection. But those two girls confused Shajiuye. He said they were guests, but the silver-haired girl was brewing coffee slowly, as if she was at home. How could she look like a guest?
And what happened to that girl?
"I...I'm going back to my room first."
Shajiuye looked confused, but Shionji Yuko obviously didn't intend to get involved in these troublesome things. After all, the situation in front of her was very strange at first glance, so she decisively made an excuse and slipped back to the room.
Only Sha Jiuye stood blankly at the door. It was obviously his own home, but why did he feel...as if he was the guest?
Fortunately, at this time, Duanmu Huai finally appeared.
"Brother!"
Seeing Duanmuhuai appear, Shajiuye also raised his eyebrows and stared at him dissatisfied.
"What the hell is going on?"
"Hey..."
Facing Shajiuye's dissatisfied questioning, Duanmuhuai sighed silently, but he still bit the bullet and introduced Shajiuye.
"This is Siesta. She is also a detective. I met her when I went out to solve the incident. Now she is temporarily working with us."
"I see..."
After hearing this, Shajiuye's eyes softened a lot when he looked at Shesta. The latter also raised his head, smiled slightly and nodded to her.
"What about that girl?"
"She..."
Duanmuhuai glanced at the blond girl curled up on the sofa again.
"Her name is Abigail Williams. For some reasons, she can only live here."
As for why this happened, Duanmuhuai could only say that Yog-Sothoth was really not easy to fool.
Originally, Duanmuhuai's idea was that as long as Yog-Sothoth was willing to help tell him where Nyarlathotep was, he would backhand seal the girl again.
It turned out that Yog-Sothoth was not stupid. He just gave Duanmuhuai an approximate location and then told Duanmuhuai that when the time comes, it will appear again to explain the next clue.
To put it bluntly, Yog-Sothoth also knew that Duanmuhuai would definitely burn bridges, so it did not say anything about it at all, just to let Duanmuhuai keep Abigail instead of sealing or killing her. After Yog-Sothoth exited the possessed state, Abigail turned into a girl who looked weak and helpless.
What else can Duanmuhuai do about this? He wanted to eliminate Abigail directly, but unfortunately he had to rely on her to show him the way.
Forget it, keep it for now until Nyarlathotep is expelled.
Abigail, who is not possessed by Yog-Sothoth, seems to be a good, sensible and kind child, but to Duanmuhuai, this makes no sense. In fact, many games have this kind of development. A heroine who is kind, beautiful, gentle, and almost like an angel is revealed to be a sacrifice or substitute for resurrecting some demon or the devil, so she is hunted down.
And just when the whole world was targeting her, the male protagonist resolutely stood up and became the enemy of the world in order to protect the female protagonist. However, usually at the end of this kind of plot, the heroine will still be snatched away by the villain and then resurrected as the devil. And just when the world was about to be destroyed, the male protagonist's affectionate call awakened the female protagonist's consciousness, so they joined forces to eliminate the resurrected devil and save the world.
Congratulations, congratulations.
Well, pay attention, the general game world is like this.
But that's not the case in Xinghai.
In fact, as a judge, players have encountered similar tasks many times. At the beginning, many players who were deeply poisoned by traditional games chose to help the male and female protagonists to make them lovers and get married. In the end, when one of them was possessed by the devil, they chose to let the other one go up and use "true love" "Awakening, thereby expelling the devil, completing a happy ending in the traditional sense. But unfortunately, that's what they think. The problem is that this game doesn't give you such good things.
Basically this situation ends in the following ways.
In the first type, when the male protagonist sees the demonized female protagonist, he becomes frightened and runs away, while the female protagonist, who realizes that she has been abandoned, completely turns dark, merges with the demon, and destroys the entire planet.
Mission failed.
In the second type, the male protagonist mustered up the courage to call the female protagonist, and the female protagonist seemed to have heard the male protagonist's call. She gradually returned to her original state, and then the two hugged each other and cried - and then the female protagonist bit off the male protagonist's penis. The Lord's neck swallowed his flesh and blood, and then the devil said that the human soul had been swallowed by me. Do you think my acting looked like it? Hahaha, don't worry, you will follow in his footsteps and die together!
Mission failed.
In the third type, the male protagonist musters up the courage to call the female protagonist, while the female protagonist hopes that the male protagonist will stay with her forever. In the end, the male protagonist who is willing to be the enemy of the world for the heroine chooses to abandon humanity and side with the heroine, so the player will face two demonized enemies - well, the devil wins twice, buy one get one free , Won Ma.
Mission failed.
So, how to protect the world from destruction?
In fact, it's very simple. As a judge, you just need to find the heroine before the devil and kill her directly. Then nothing will happen. If the male protagonist comes to stop it, then he will be killed as well.
Without the possessed vessel, the devil would not be resurrected and the world would be at peace.
Congratulations, congratulations.
Mission successful.
Oh, by the way, to be on the safe side, it’s best to kill the male protagonist as well, otherwise he might become corrupted by hatred and become an accomplice of the devil.
Therefore, the task of eradicating evil is done, and the roots must be eradicated.
And such tasks are to warn players again and again that they are not the princes and princesses in fairy tales, they are judges. It is not their duty to expect "true love" to save the world. Their duty is to protect mankind at all costs and eliminate Threat to human existence.
The same is true for Abigail. Perhaps this weak, kind, angelic girl is showing her true nature, but the problem is that this is not important. What is important is that she is a person who can be possessed by Yog-Sothoth at any time. The container inside the body, this alone is enough for Duanmu Huai to directly obliterate it.
But at the moment, Nyarlathotep's priority is still higher than Yog-Sothoth... After all, Yog-Sothoth belongs to the people who will not offend others unless they offend me. Except for idiots who seek death and take the initiative to die, Yog-Sothoth has no right to him. Human interest is of little interest. Nyarlathotep, on the other hand, plays games with humans as guinea pigs all day long, so he must be operated on first!
If given the chance, Duanmuhuai wouldn't mind killing it directly.
In fact, strictly speaking, Duanmuhuai really didn't want to cooperate with Yog-Sothoth unless he had to. He has never liked the kind of blabbering prophecies. Just like Duanmu Huai said before, if the future cannot be changed, then you know that the future is a waste of time. And if the future can be changed, then you know the future is also a waste of time.
And those who knew five hundred years before and five hundred years later are all neurotic, like Yog-Sothoth. Maybe he knew all this a long time ago, and even knew the result, but he didn't care. , because it knows the result, it means it will not lose... Well, Duanmuhuai is too lazy to care.
Duanmu Huai's way to deal with this kind of guy is - anyway, as long as I don't know about it, it means it doesn't exist!
To put it bluntly, this method of correspondence is a bit deceptive. It focuses on the idea that I think, therefore I am. However, Duanmuhuai said that I am a rough person and don't like to think about things that exist and don't exist. I don't want to do things that make me think!
So you Yog-Sothoth loves to make plans. No matter what you plan, I will conquer the world with one fist!
It depends on whether you have more ideas or I have a strong fist!
Just do it and it’s done!
"…………In short, that’s it."
Duanmuhuai explained Abigail's situation to Shajiuye somewhat, but at this moment the girl was still curled up on the sofa, staring at Shajiuye with uneasy eyes like a kitten that had just been picked up. And looking at Abigail like this, Shajiuye also felt soft inside.
"Okay...Brother, I understand."
As he spoke, Shajiuye walked up to Abigail, hesitated for a moment, and then handed over the red panda that was sleeping in his arms.
"???"
Mimi was sleeping and looked confused. It was impossible to take Duanmuhuai with her when she went out, so Shajiuye took the red panda on vacation. At this time, it was also very tired. Originally, Mimi planned to have a good sleep, but... what did her master want to do?
"………………"
It has to be said that red pandas are indeed naturally cute creatures. Abigail's eyes lit up when she saw the red panda lying in Shajiuye's arms. She cautiously approached the red panda and stared at it. Then he looked at Shajiuye with pleading eyes and asked in a low voice.
"Can I touch it?"
"Of course."
Hearing Abigail's request, Shajuye smiled slightly, and Abigail also stretched out her hand, placed it on the red panda's furry body, and stroked it slowly. As for the red panda, he turned his head and glanced at Abigail, then huddled up again.
It can be seen that small animals are indeed a magic weapon to bring people closer together.
Duanmuhuai breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Shajiuye focusing on Abigail. Otherwise, he would not have been able to explain to Shajiuye why Mianmu Zuotiao was at his home——Shesitadu It's easy to say that Sajiya may think it's understandable because she is a colleague, but Mianmu Saotori...she has nothing to do with Sajiya.
In addition, this guy has no clue what he is talking about. Duanmu Huai is really afraid that Mianmu Saotiao and Sha Jiuye will say something like "Your brother's milk is delicious" while chatting with him, and that will be the end of it.
It is safer to let Shajuye and Abigail play with red pandas.
However, Duanmu Huai came back this time not just because the Golden Week was over, but because——the place Yog-Sothoth gave Duanmu Huai was Japan!
In other words, Nyarlathotep is currently on this island!
Then, finding its traces is Duanmu Huai's most important task at the moment!
