Real Cthulhu Running Game

  Chapter 924 The Byakir

   Liu Xing looked at Matsui Yui with an unexpected look on her face. She didn't expect that she would call the deep diver hybrid a product of failure.

At this time, Shimada Xiao also stood up and added, "Yes, the hybrids of mythical creatures and humans are in a sense the product of failure. Let's use an analogy. In recent years, you humans have raised lions and tigers. Together, it is so that they can reproduce a new species - a liger, not to reproduce a lion or a tiger, so our initial expectation of the deep diver hybrid or the ghoul hybrid is a brand new race, No matter how bad it is, it must be different from the normal deep diver and ghoul."

"But it backfired. Although the deep diver hybrid and the ghoul hybrid had human characteristics when they were young, as the age went on, these hybrids completely turned into a deep diver and a ghoul, which made us give up The originally prepared hybrid plan—a plan to intermarry with humans on a large scale, and then use hybrids to continuously replace humans, so now there are very few places where hybrids of mythical creatures and humans appear except for a few pilot areas at the beginning. Anyway, we can also pass the spell directly and pretend to be human."

"However, recently, I have heard that many mythical creature tribes have begun to intermarry with humans. Of course, their goal is not to use hybrids to break into human society, but to mass-produce mythical creatures through hybrids, because we The fertility rate between mythical creatures is not high, and it takes a lot of growth time, so it is better to have mixed blood with your human beings, and then use special methods to activate the mythical creature genes of these mixed blood, so that a batch of myths can be quickly created. creatures, and the combat effectiveness of these fast-growing mythical creatures is no worse than that of normally developed mythical creatures."

   Hearing this, Liu Xing remembered a classic evolutionary theory—under normal circumstances, the more powerful organisms, the lower the fertility rate, and the longer the process from larvae to adulthood. This is a balance made by nature.

  Like the same cats, ordinary cats can give birth to four litters of cubs a year, and each litter of cubs is about three to eight; while tigers only give birth once a year, producing two to four cubs each time.

   As for the carp in the river and the shark in the sea, there is a world of difference in the yield of each.

Therefore, the mythical creatures in the Cthulhu mythology also follow this rule. Although the burrowing worm and the macrophage worm are both "worms", one is everywhere on the earth, while the other is found in the universe. Fewer than a few.

Back to the topic, although the deep diver and the ghoul are already considered "more sons and more blessings" in the mythical creature circle, they are still far from humans, so they will use the hybrid bug to "explode soldiers" "It's quite understandable, because the genes of mythical creatures are definitely stronger than the genes of humans, so as the age increases, the genes of the mythical creatures will completely suppress the genes of human beings, turning the original hybrid into a complete myth. biology.

   But here comes the problem!

  Why did these mythical creature tribes suddenly start to "explode" at this time? !

   Do they want to make a big news? !

Looking at Liu Xing's puzzled eyes, Shimada smiled and nodded and said: "Although I have been living in seclusion in Kagoshima City for all these years, my eyeliners in various parts of the island country are still functioning normally, providing me with all kinds of information, so I found that many tribes of mythical creatures suddenly began to intermarry with nearby human villages. Among them, tribes like Masaichi Kitano let the Kitano family build a small town for them as a delivery room, so over the years, the hybrids of various tribes of mythical creatures The percentage has gone from one percent to twenty percent, so I'm starting to wonder if the mythical creature tribes are planning to do something bad."

"As a result, after a detailed investigation, I found out that the main reason why these tribes began to import crops at the same time was only one - Jianghu rumors; a long time ago, when human beings had not yet developed, there was almost a conflict between the various mythical creature tribes. There is no communication. After all, everyone has been fighting for so many years, and they have long become enemies of life and death. How can they sit down and chat together? As for different tribes of the same race, the relationship between them is not much better. Because the interior of our mythical creatures will also be divided into categories, take our ghouls as an example, the common classification methods include giant claw ghouls, black claw ghouls, blade claw ghouls, etc. , according to the habitat is divided into cemetery ghouls, wilderness ghouls and ice ghouls and so on."

At this time, Yui Matsui also nodded and said: "Yes, our deep diver will also be divided into tribes according to various conditions. For example, the tribe where Kitano Masaichi belongs to is all white armored deep divers, and the deep diver on the southern side of Kyushu. The divers are all called the thin-scaled deep divers, and the deep divers living near the ancient city of Lalaye are called the guardian deep divers, and in addition to the guardian deep divers will be unanimously respected by other deep divers, other deep divers. All kinds of deep divers are somewhat contradictory to each other."

Liu Xing raised his brows and said, "I didn't expect that the interior of your mythical creatures is not monolithic, but the classification of your mythical creatures sounds a little playful. It feels like when England abandoned the colony in the past, in order to divide the local area. Indigenous people and forcibly classify them into categories, even height and wealth can be used as a standard..."

Shimada smiled and said, "You have to know that England at that time was almost controlled by the corpse sect, because after the start of World War II, the corpse sect was conditioned to ensure that England would not be attacked by Germany. Many seats in the English Parliament, and took the opportunity to expand the influence of the corpse religion from England to the control of the entire British Commonwealth, so there were many ghouls among the officials sent by England to the colonies at that time, so at the end of World War II After that, those ghouls made such a big show based on their own experience."

"Okay, let's go back to the topic. Before the rise of mankind, let alone various mythical creature races, there is almost no communication between different tribes of the same race, because the reason why everyone stays on the earth is to look out for the wind. , so there is no need for communication; but with the rise of human beings, human figures appear everywhere on the whole earth, so the news of various mythical creature tribes is transmitted through human beings as a medium, and over time, special newspapers appear. "

"Liu Xing, you heard it right, there are several newspapers on Earth that are exclusively for the purchase of mythical creatures, although these newspapers are all published monthly, and they are collected and printed by the same Baiyaki tribe; Come on, in the mythical creatures on earth, except for Bayaki, there is no other mythical creature that can start a newspaper business. After all, the Bayaki family often provides interstellar mobile services for other mythical creatures, so Bayaki A family can easily come into contact with other mythical creatures, and the level is not low, because low-level mythical creatures have no chance to travel to other planets."

"Because the sources of Bayaki's information are very comprehensive and high in authenticity, their newspaper sales are very high, and the sales network can almost be said to cover the entire earth, even the ancient ones who have been closed in the deep sea for tens of thousands of years. They will also subscribe to a newspaper published by the Bayaki tribe, and in order to make more money, the group of Bayaki profiteers just divided a comprehensive newspaper into daily news, tribal news, anecdotes and rumors , the most worth mentioning is the rumors of the rivers and lakes."

"Compared to the first three newspapers, the reliability of Jianghu rumors is not even a fraction of them. Almost the entire newspaper is fake news, because the four words Jianghu rumors, as the name implies, know that this is a ride on Bayaki ascension to heaven. The customer was idle and had nothing to do, and told some of the gossip they had heard. For example, there was a news in the Jianghu rumors some time ago, saying that there was an invisible son with Shoggoth, and he was killed by Satoguya Fighting mandarin ducks with a stick... Although this seems unreliable, it is also very interesting, so the sales volume of Jianghu rumors has always been the first among the newspapers published by the Baiaki tribe. "

"Of course, Jianghu rumors are not 100% wrong. There used to be a lot of major incidents before, and some clues could be found in Jianghu rumors, but they were all laughed at by the spectators at the time, so now some people start to pay attention to it. After reading the rumors of the rivers and lakes, I followed up some rumors in the rivers and lakes that seemed unreliable but could stand up to scrutiny. As a result, some time ago, the rumors of the rivers and lakes recorded a piece of information provided by the Yisi people - very soon on earth There will be an old ruler who will see the light of day again."

   "Oh? Who is it?!" Liu Xing asked quickly.

Shimada shrugged and said with a smile: "Then I don't know, because news like 'the old ruler will soon be seen on the earth' will appear on Jianghu rumors almost every month, breaking the news. The attacker may have been an unnamed deep diver last month, and the next month he will become a ghoul who got on a car from somewhere, so many people think that this is the Bayaki tribe just to make up the number of words. I make it up every month.”

"But this time it's a little different, because the whistleblower is an Yisi, I believe Liu Xing, you should also know that Yisi's ability is to travel through time and space, so the credibility of their news is very high, and that worshiper The Yaqi tribe did not dare to falsify news in the name of Yisi people, because when the Baiyaki tribe started doing this business, it was said to stimulate sales, so they broke a fake news in the name of Yisi people, As a result, some Yisi people took over the Patriarch of the Baiyaki tribe after knowing it, and then took pictures of some unsightly things."

"Since then, there has been almost no news about the Yisi people in the newspapers of this Baiyaki tribe. It is said that an Yisi people have been resident in the Baiyaki tribe. In short, when the Yisi people said When the news came out that "the rulers of the old days will soon see the light of day on earth", most readers laughed and scolded that the Yithians were also bought by the Bayaki, but behind the scenes they all believed at least. 50%, so the mythical creature tribe that heard the news began to increase the population to ensure that when the news came true, they would have more cards."

"Hold card?" Liu Xing said suspiciously: "It stands to reason that if the old ruler is reborn, then in the absence of a second old ruler, everything on earth will soon be affected by it. Rule, and the cards of those mythical creature tribes will not be effective against the Old Ones."

At this time, Matsui Yui suddenly said: "Liu Xing, you are wrong to think so, because the word 'born' here does not mean that the old rulers are reawakened and regained their strength, because the seals on the old rulers are not It can be lifted so easily, so if the old rulers want to regain the glory of the past, their relatives have to put in a lot of effort. Rise up again, then the great Cthulhu will wake up from the slumber, and at this time our family of deep-dives will gather near the ancient city of Lalai to hold a ceremony to call the great Cthulhu to return from the dream Reality."

"However, other mythical creatures will not watch the great Cthulhu wake up at this time, because when the great Cthulhu wakes up completely, it means that the other sealed old rulers will be forever. There is no future. After all, there is no room for two tigers in one mountain. There can only be one old ruler on the earth to control everything. Therefore, other mythical creatures will organize an allied army to interfere with our rituals and try to destroy the ancient city of Lalaiye. sink to the bottom of the sea again; if they are successful, we deep diver race will disappear from the earth, and if we deep diver race succeed, then the mythical creatures on earth are only us deep diver race!"

Hearing this, Liu Xing sighed and said: "So it is, no wonder these mythical creature tribes have begun to explode, but in this way, our human history will also enter the countdown, after all, no matter who wins the final victory, we Humanity cannot avoid the end of extinction."

   Having said that, the atmosphere at the dinner table became a little dignified.

   So, the three of Liu Xing finished dinner in silence, and then went to rest.

  Returning to the second-floor building outside the manor, Liu Xing began to stare at his phone in a daze, thinking about whether to tell Yin En and the others and Shi Zixuan all the news he heard at the dinner table tonight.

   In the end, Liu Xing put down his phone.

   "These things should wait until we meet later."
