Real Cthulhu Running Game

   Chapter 923 The product of failure

Just when Liu Xing was about to send a text message, Shimada smiled and shook his head and said: "Liu Xing, don't be so anxious, now this is just a conjecture, and I can't guarantee that Jing Yizhile is here to open the fantasies. The gate of the dream, so I think Liu Xing, you should not tell your friends this news in advance, because it will affect some of their decisions at the moment."

   Liu Xing thought for a while, nodded and put down the phone.

As Shimada said with a smile, if he told Yin En and others about this news, then Yin En and others would probably change a lot of plans because of this news. Are you still in the mood to care about their Shimadzu family's head-to-head dispute?

  If the news is true, then it’s okay to say, if Ii Naoraku really wants to escape to Ryukyu, then this matter may be a little troublesome.

   Therefore, Liu Xing finally decided to wait for the news from Shi Zixuan first to see if Shi Zixuan had a way to determine the dynamics of Jing Yi Zhile and Liu Xuyu.

   But Liu Xing's face is still full of two words - disturbed.

"Liu Xing, don't worry too much, because as the saying goes, two fists are hard to beat with four hands. Although the unknown old ruler has created a group of good fighters for himself, the number of them is still too small. Now, as long as the old ruler doesn't end in person, then its believers will definitely be surrounded and suppressed by all the secret churches and mythical creatures on the island, so although they may do something, they will soon. It was calmed down." Matsui Yui comforted Liu Xing.

Liu Xing sighed, shook his head and said, "Actually, I also know that as long as this unknown old ruler doesn't take action in person, then its believers will not be able to turn the tide, and in the end they will occupy Kagoshima City for a few days. ...but the problem is that ordinary humans can't accept this news. As long as those traitors occupy Kagoshima City, the whole world will know the existence of the secret church and mythical creatures, and even the news of the old rulers. All will be known to the public, and I can't imagine what the world will be like when that happens."

Up to now, Liu Xing still remembers the year 2000 in the real world, because many well-known prophecies mentioned that the year 2000 may be the end of the world, so on New Year's Eve, serious incidents occurred in many parts of the world. Riot incidents, although these incidents do not rule out that someone is leading maliciously, but it can also be seen that human beings are actually a creature that is easy to fall into chaos.

So when Liu Xing thought that the existence of mythical creatures and the Old Ones were made public, then the Old Ones might not need to appear, and the population of this parallel world might drop by more than half. After all, all human beings need to know about these After the news passed a san score check, even if only one tenth of the human beings fell into a temporary state of madness, that would be hundreds of millions of people. . .

"Yeah..." Shimada laughed, but finally shook his head, "I still remember that more than ten years ago, I went to Miskatonic University, because there was a human being there. My friend is a professor, and he also knows my true identity, so he asked me to do some genetic research in the past, trying to confirm the genetic difference between ghouls and humans, but the experiment failed very much. It can be said that Nothing has been researched.”

"However, while I was waiting for the results of the experiment, I went to be an auditor when I had nothing to do, and then I attended a class on hysteria. The teacher of this class put forward a point that all human beings may suffer from hysteria, but because of For some reason, hysteria is hidden in the deep consciousness, which is why humans are so fond of all kinds of fantasies, but not crazy because of these fantasies."

"But because humans have always been a group animal, humans are born with a certain conformity, so humans, like those herbivores in the African savannah, are easily scared to run around because of a lion. , even if you know that the lion can't catch you, but all the people around you have already started to run away, and you will also run with you subconsciously, which is also the reason for many stampede accidents - although I don't know why I do it, but since everyone around me has done it, I should do it too, and there is also the hysteria in the deep human consciousness at work."

"When a person suddenly starts running in public, the people around him will wonder why he is running. Most people will think whether he is in a hurry, but some people may have a hysterical attack and think of some bad things. What happened - he knew there was a bomb nearby! So the person who had a hysterical attack also ran, and then caused more people to have a hysterical attack, and some terrible images automatically appeared in their minds, so they also wanted to get out of here as soon as possible , so he also ran, and in the end, everyone present would subconsciously run after him."

"Finally, the teacher believed that human hysteria should be the same as conformity, and it is very likely that it was preserved in the process of evolution, because one of the biggest differences between humans and animals is that they have learned to make tools and use tools, then human beings are How did you come up with the idea of ​​making and using tools? It should be a monkey or a gorilla who had a hysterical attack, suddenly made some strange behaviors, and then pieced together two unrelated things from the two samples, resulting in a new tool. As a result, the brain subconsciously thinks that hysteria is a good gene that deserves to be passed on.”

Hearing this, Liu Xing has begun to be a little confused, but Liu Xing remembers that he heard some similar arguments when he was in college. Some people think that all mental diseases of human beings are not diseases, but the further development of the human brain. inevitable result of time.

"Liu Xing, you should know that there is a pineal gland on the human forehead, which looks like an erect eye, although it has no effect on the current human beings, but since it exists, it means that this organization It should have worked for the previous humans, but it was hidden as humans evolved." Shimada continued, "In some recent news, I heard that some of your humans have completely degenerated. Organs start to re-evolve."

Liu Xing nodded and said: "Yes, I have heard some related news... But then again, can I take the liberty to ask Shimada how long have you been alive? I remember you eating food. The ghouls can also live forever."

Shimada Xiao was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "I know what Liu Xing you want to ask me, yes, our ghouls, like most other mythical creatures, can be immortal, or immortal. It is the minimum threshold for mythical creatures, because only a race is no longer troubled by death, then it is possible for this race to evolve more powerful abilities and create more powerful technologies; so I don't know how many years I have lived now. , but I remember being the first ghouls to set foot on Earth."

"Because of the Yisi people, Liu Xing, you should have heard how chaotic the earth was in ancient times. Various mythical creatures and the old rulers were separated on the earth, killing each other every day, and they looked like ancient times. The mythical creatures on the scientific and technological side such as Mi Go are also keen to use the primitive creatures on the earth for genetic research, creating a large number of new races, of which there are hundreds of species that I know of, but in the end they can reproduce There are only a few races left, the most famous of which are the Shoggoth and the Chuqiu."

"As for you humans, you are actually influenced by those mythical creatures, because although the races they created have all perished, some special genes of those races have survived in the descendants of other races due to hybridization. Therefore, all the creatures on the earth today are relatives if they insist, because from the genetic point of view, all the creatures on the earth have some similarities... But to be honest, your human beings are indeed lucky. , composed of genes just enough to make you what you are now, without evolving into a gorilla or a monkey."

"So how did we humans become the overlords of the earth on the bright side? It stands to reason that as long as there is a mythical creature race standing up to stop it on the road to the rise of humanity, then it is impossible for humans to occupy the earth as it is today." Liu Xing couldn't help asking.

  Smile Shimada and Yui Matsui looked at each other, but did not speak for a while.

   It seems that there should be some secrets in it.

   Seeing this situation, Liu Xing could only analyze it by himself: "Is it because many of the old rulers on the earth were sealed, so you gave up your plan to control the earth?"

"more or less."

Matsui Yui, who had not spoken, suddenly replied: "There are too many ancient rulers sealed on the earth, and the locations where they are sealed can be said to be the most important locations on earth, such as the ancient city of Lalaiye. Below is a rich mining area. If the great Cthulhu hadn't slept here, maybe the group of Mi Ge would have swarmed and turned the rich mining area upside down; as for the seal of the old days on the earth. The area with the most visitors is the Seven River Valley, where there is a natural underground labyrinth hidden in the ground, and there are a large number of natural and earth treasures growing in it.

"To put it bluntly, the resources on the earth that are useful to us and can be mined have been collected, so most of the mythical creatures have left the earth and went to other planets to continue to compete for resources, and only a small number of them remain for various reasons. On earth... well, the main reason is because those old rulers who were sealed, like Yui Matsui, stayed on earth to protect and awaken the old rulers of their beliefs, and we ghouls It is to monitor the dynamics of these old rulers so that we can adjust the arrangement on other planets, so for a long time, our ghouls have only left dozens of people on the earth." Shimada smiled and continued.

   Hearing this, a sentence appeared in Liu Xing's mind - the tiger is not at home, the monkey is the king.

"But Liu Xing, don't belittle yourself. In fact, you humans have developed into what they are today in such a short period of time, which is enough to surprise us." Matsui Yui pointed to a shotgun hanging on the wall and said: "In the beginning, we mythical creatures didn't care about the rise of you humans at all. Because we didn't think you had a chance to become a new race of mythical creatures, the reason is very simple, although the genetics of both sides can be made through interbreeding. The advantages of the medium are passed on to the next generation, but it will also make the genes of the next generation more fragile and difficult to continue to reproduce and continue, such as the mules and hybrid rice that you are familiar with, although they have many advantages, they cannot reproduce the next generation.”

"Although you humans and other animals are in a better situation and have the ability to reproduce the next generation, your lifespan is very severely limited. Unless you are genetically modified, it is impossible for you to cross the age of 100. This is a threshold, so we didn't think about stopping you from the beginning, so except for a few mythical creatures who will come to you for a change of taste... just like you humans after eating pork, beef and mutton. , and occasionally eat chicken, duck, and fish for a different taste.”

"But what we didn't expect is that after a long period of evolution, you have the wisdom comparable to our mythical creatures, and in just a few thousand years, you have created various kinds of things that can harm us. The weapons, so when we reacted, we found that we could no longer deal with you, or we were unwilling to pay too much price to destroy you."

"For example, if we deep divers who are active on earth gather to attack you humans, although we can turn you into history in the end, we will also suffer heavy losses. The worst possibility is that there is no one out of ten, after all If you humans become crazy and detonate all nuclear weapons, then all the deep divers involved in the ground attack will surely die, and other mythical creatures will also take the opportunity to come to trouble us, such as our deep diver's mortal enemy Bayaki, They will definitely take advantage of it."

"But the most important thing is that there are many mythical creatures who are curious about your human genes, because they are almost the same as our mythical creatures except for their relatively low lifespan, so like us deep divers, The thought of marrying you guys and seeing if there's a way to create a new race turned out to be the product of a failure like the Deep Dive hybrids...in a sense."
