Real Cthulhu Running Game

   Chapter 1100 Rashomon

   "It's time for us to go, uh, what are you guys doing at the dinner table?"

   Alice stood up and said, "There are no outsiders here. Who are you pretending to be serious?"

   Liu Xing shook his head with a smile and said, "It's okay, I just told them an interesting story. By the way, does Miss Zetian have any special arrangements today?"

"Yes, Shimadzu Nakano will arrange some people to pick us up later, so Miss Sawada needs you to select a few people to sneak into the team sent by Shimadzu Nakano. If you have a chance, ask someone in the same car to ask. What they think about this matter, we must now investigate the attitude of ordinary members of the Shimadzu family towards us; besides, after arriving at the hospital, we just have to uphold the word - more mistakes, less talk Less wrong, not better." Alice said seriously.

Zhang Jingxu nodded and said, "That's true, we really don't have the space to talk later, because other forces in the Wu family faction should send people to pay attention to this matter, and even some forces will end in person, So we, the little ones of the Sawatian family, have no right to speak, and if we say a wrong word, we may be chased and beaten by people from other forces and won't let go, so we are still honest. Seriously be a bodyguard, but then again, has the Shimadzu family sent us a message saying that there will be those forces that may come forward to find fault today?"

  Alice showed a mysterious smile and said word by word, "Rashomon."

  Rashomon?

Hearing these familiar three words, Yin En couldn't help but complain: "Isn't this Rashomon the name of a movie? Why is there really a secret church that can't think of what name it should be called, so I just took the movie I watched yesterday. The name is the sign."

Alice smiled and explained, "You're right, Yin En, there are indeed quite a few secret churches in the island country calling themselves Rashomon, and some people have even counted the names of the slightly more famous secret churches in the island country with the same name. The name with the largest number is Rashomon. After all, the three words Rashomon are not only famous in the island country because of that movie, but because the symbolic meaning of Rashomon in the ancient island country is equal to your ancient Chinese mass graves. , In addition, there were indeed many mythical creatures gathered in Rashomon, so there are so many secret churches called Rashomon."

"But this time, this secret church named Rashomon is the most famous of all Rashomon, because it may be the first secret church named Rashomon, and the founder of this secret church is said to have It is a powerful mythical creature, but it has no news after it created Rashomon. All this can only be said to be verified; but the overall strength of this Rashomon is quite good, although there is no It is possible to enter the top ten forces of our martial arts faction, but there should be no problem in entering the top 100 forces, and even entering the ranks of Tiangang is a breeze."

   "In that case, the strength of this Rashomon is actually not much worse than that of the Shimadzu family?" Liu Xing raised his eyebrows and said.

In the same sentence, the Shimadzu family, or all the families in the top ten forces, are far inferior to those of the secret churches in overall strength. If it is not for the battle of public martial arts, these families need to stand on the bright side, maybe the martial arts faction The ten major forces will be controlled by the secret church.

Alice sighed, nodded and said: "Yes, the overall strength of this Rashomon is actually not much different from that of the Shimadzu family, but because the Shimadzu family now has many people who are under the command of Shimadzu Hiromichi, and Shimadzu Hiromichi took these people to watch the show in Kagoshima, so relying on Shimadzu Nakano's people in Osaka, he would definitely not be able to beat this Rashomon, so some forces with ulterior motives planned to Today, I arranged Rashomon to play to disrupt the game, of course, the reason why it is Rashomon is because there is a person in Rashomon called Shimadzu Ke."

   "Is this from the Shimadzu family? That's really interesting." Ding Kun said, putting down the bowl and chopsticks.

Alice took out her phone, shook it, and said, "It's a long story about this Shimadzu engraving, so I've already sent you all this information, you should be able to know it by looking at it for yourself. The cause and effect of the matter; in short, if there is no accident, Rashomon is likely to arrange Shimadzu Ke to take the lead in attacking."

   After Alice finished speaking, she went back to change clothes with Sawada Yaine and the others.

   Liu Xing took out his mobile phone and clicked on the document Alice sent himself.

Shimadzu Ke is not a member of the Shimadzu family in a strict sense, because Shimadzu's grandfather was expelled from the Shimadzu family before Shimadzu's father was born. As for the reason for the expulsion, although the Shimadzu family did not It is explained to the outside world, but anyone who knows the Shimadzu family can guess that Shimadzu's grandfather probably took something that should not be taken.

  There is a gold mine in Kagoshima's Hisashi-machi area, and this gold mine is the largest gold mining area in the island country. It is said that more than half of the island's gold comes from here.

Therefore, as the real controllers of Kagoshima, the Shimadzu family will naturally not hand over this gold mine, and the Shimadzu family relied on this gold mine when they fought openly and secretly with the Tokugawa shogunate. Maintaining the huge expenses of the Shimadzu family, it is also this gold mine, which supports the Satsuma clan where the Shimadzu family is located and has become the main force in the fallout, so this gold mine has always been controlled by the Shimadzu family; By the way, the "roller coaster" that Zhang Jingxu and others were riding in Kagoshima at that time was actually in a gold mine that had already been mined.

So in order to control this gold mine, the Shimadzu family naturally arranged a direct line member to manage it, and Shimadzu Ke's grandfather was one of them, and before being expelled from the Shimadzu family, Shimadzu Ke's grandfather Has become the mine manager of this gold mine.

Although as a direct member of the Shimadzu family, Shimadzu's grandfather, relying on the allowance provided by the family and his own salary, is not short of money, but he accidentally entered a game made by others and ended up throwing himself at the gambling table. I lost all my savings, and finally owed a lot of money to those people, so Shimadzu's grandfather could only choose to make a fuss about that gold mine, and as a result, he was given by other family members in the gold mine. Found.

   As the foundation of the Shimadzu family, this gold mine is even more important than the Shimadzu mansion, so after Shimadzu's grandfather was exposed, he was naturally expelled from the Shimadzu family. . . Of course, this is actually also related to the situation that the direct line of Shimadzu Ke's grandfather has completely declined. Besides Shimadzu Ke's grandfather, this direct line has only one cousin who is still in elementary school. When no one spoke to Shimadzu's grandfather, Shimadzu's grandfather could only watch as he was expelled from the family.

   After all, for the other direct line members of the Shimadzu family, it would be better to have one less direct line now, because many things of the Shimadzu family are equally distributed to each direct line.

After being expelled from the Shimadzu family, although Shimadzu Ke's grandfather still received a settlement allowance, the money was still too little for Shimadzu Ke's grandfather who was accustomed to wealth, so Shimadzu Ke's grandfather The money was quickly spent, and if his cousin had not been helping him secretly, I'm afraid Shimadzu's grandfather would have been on the streets.

   After more than ten years, Shimadzu's grandfather finally woke up like a dream, accepted his destiny, began to live and work like an ordinary person, and then got married and had children.

Although Shimadzu's grandfather went astray, the reason why Shimadzu's grandfather had the opportunity to go astray was because Shimadzu's grandfather was talented and intelligent, and he was considered one of the smartest among the direct line members of the Shimadzu family. , so he was able to become the mine manager of the gold mine after completing his studies. Therefore, when Shimadzu was born, his grandfather had already become the mine manager of a mining area on Sado Island.

  If the gold mines on Sado Island had not been exhausted, and now they are used as a tourist attraction for tourists, maybe Shimadzu Ke’s grandfather could have achieved an achievement—serving as the mine manager of the largest gold mines under the shogunate and the shogunate respectively.

   But the most important thing is that the headquarters of the Rashomon that Alice mentioned is on Sado Island.

During the Tokugawa shogunate period, the Sado Island Gold Mine was the largest gold mine under the control of the Tokugawa shogunate and the largest gold mine in the island country at that time. It has always been an important weight for the Tokugawa shogunate to stabilize its own finances. There are many miners working in gold mines, and they work very long hours. At the same time, the tools and protective measures they get are not in place.

Therefore, a large number of miners are injured and killed in the gold mines of Sado Island every day due to various reasons. At the same time, new miners are sent to Sado Island by the Tokugawa Shogunate every day, so the "Rashomon" of Sado Island will have new "people" every day. "Check in.

As a result, Rashomon quickly took root on Sado Island and began to recruit those miners to join them. Over time, Rashomon grew and became the only secret church on Sado Island. Smart, they did not touch the bad heads of the Tokugawa shogunate, because they knew that if they dared to touch the gold mines on Sado Island, the Tokugawa shogunate would definitely send a large army to encircle them.

  In this way, Rashomon swallowed his voice on Sado Island for hundreds of years, and finally became the actual controller of Sado Island after the curtain fell.

Although Rashomon is a secret church, Rashomon does not regard money as dung like other secret churches, but accumulates capital by relying on various minerals in Sado Island, and then purchases a large amount of land in various parts of the island country. It quickly took root in various parts of the island country. In a sense, Rashomon is the largest secret church in the island country, and it is also one of the secret churches with the largest number of members.

But the most important thing is that there is a gossip circulating in the circle of secret churches in the island country that more than one-third of Rashomon in the entire island country is actually a branch of Rashomon on Sado Island, but Rashomon on Sado Island is a branch of Rashomon on Sado Island. He has never admitted that those Rashomons are related to him, but some secret churches have indeed found evidence that some Rashomons are indeed related to Rashomon on Sado Island.

Back to the topic, Shimadzu didn't know that he was actually a member of the Shimadzu family at the beginning, let alone that his grandfather was once a direct member of the Shimadzu family, but he has always had a question, that is Why is my surname Shimadzu?

Although when the island country carried out the national identity registration, it was not required that ordinary people could not be surnamed Shimadzu or Oda, but most ordinary people consciously avoided these family surnames that still exist today, so as long as they meet in the island country People with the surname Shimadzu, Oda, etc., can be sure that this person is from the Shimadzu family or the Oda family.

Therefore, Shimadzu asked his grandfather when he was a child whether he was a member of the Shimadzu family, because his little friends always said that his family was "getting the heat". The big name put gold on his face.

As a result, Shimadzu's grandfather was an upright man. Since he has been expelled from the Shimadzu family, he is naturally not from the Shimadzu family, so Shimadzu's grandfather can only admit that he was born in Lu'er. Ordinary people on the island changed their surname to Shimadzu because they envied the Shimadzu family.

This made Shimadzu Ke very depressed, and as a result, it gave Rashomon an opportunity. They found the opportunity to tell the "truth" of Shimadzu Ke, a truth after their adaptation and addition, simply come That is to say, the reason why Shimadzu Ke's grandfather was expelled from the family was changed to being framed by a certain family, because this same family also wanted to be the manager of the Kagoshima Gold Mine.

   I don't know if this is a coincidence, or it's a Rashomon game. The person who once competed with Shimadzu Ke's grandfather for the position of mine manager is Shimadzu Nakano's grandfather.

   As a result, Shimadzu Ke has hated Shimadzu Nakano, a cousin who has never met, and he has been firmly seated as the elder of Rashomon over the years, and is expected to become the next leader.

"The plot of this story is a bit interesting, but after so many years of Shimadzu carving, didn't he think that he might be deceived? I think he should have a chance to learn the truth from his grandfather? For example, in his grandfather's mouth, right? Before dying?" Zhang Wenbing put down his phone and said.

Liu Xing shook his head and said seriously: "Obviously, Shimadzu's grandfather was controlled by Rashomon when he entered Sado Island in nine out of ten cases, because today's Sado Island is owned by Rashomon from beginning to end. People, so the heads of those mines on Sado Island must be people trusted by Rashomon, so Shimazu Ke's grandfather was calculated by this Rashomon from the beginning, maybe he gave Shimadzu back then The person who set up the engraved grandpa is also from Rashomon."
