The waves heaved and whispered.
Cang Tai's voice became more and more soft, as if he was afraid of Liu Liu in this story, and he dared not speak loudly behind Liu Liu: "...they said that the teacher of the orphanage could not find Xie Ta and sent Big temper, but no one dares to say that you killed Scheta, for fear that you will kill them too."
"And...although they are very afraid of you, they are also very afraid of Scheta. They think that after you two monster-like children fought, you left a stronger you, so they dare not provoke you even more."
"Some time after Scheta's death, the Love Welfare Home you were in didn't know what was going on. Investors were unwilling to continue investing and almost withdrew all their capital. As a result, the Welfare Home declined, and the children came one after another. The place disappeared strangely, I don't know if I ran out by myself or..."
"In the end, the orphanage completely closed down, and the rest of you who had accidents were sent to this ship by the director of the orphanage in the name of charity, saying that overseas orphanages would take over you. .”
"Send it?" Liu asked calmly, "Is it selling?"
Cang Tai sighed: "Delivery is better, but overall it is the same. The place you went to was not some overseas orphanage, but like me, it was sold to a seaside small shop. The town is called Luming County."
"That country is no longer your country. It has always been poor. There is no so-called orphanage at all. You probably bought it from the people there to do coolies."
"We didn't just buy it to do coolies." Some immature and trembling girls' voices suddenly came from the lower berth, "We just bought it to make sacrifices."
Cang Tai was startled, he moved forward with great effort, trying to look down: "You are..."
"My name is Xiaokui." A thin and handsome girl about eleven years old looked up at them from the lower bunk. people from the county."
Cang Tai looked confused: "Then why are you on this boat with us?"
"I was a sacrifice who escaped from Luming County, but I was taken back." Xiaokui looked disheartened and said in despair, "I will be taken back this time, and I don't know when the next time will be." The opportunity escaped, I tortured crazy."
Liu asked: "Is Luming County poor?"
——This is not the same as what he saw before.
The Luming County that Liu saw during the Cthulhu Festival can be said to be luxurious and prosperous. Every passerby on the road is well-dressed, and even the abandoned boat houses on the coast are well-repaired. Poor counties that need to arrest people to do coolies will look like this.
Xiaokui shook her head, she suddenly said softly: "Luming County was very poor before, but now it is not poor at all."
"Since the shrine in Luming County began to enshrine evil gods three years ago, it has become richer and richer and richer. When I ran away, they didn't even wear the clothes for the sacrifices. The trousers are all made of silk."
Cang was shocked: "Silk clothes? Did they treat the coolies who bought them so well?"
"I said it's not a coolie..." Xiao Kui's voice became a little weak, "It's a sacrifice."
"What happened three years ago? Why did Luming County suddenly start enshrining evil gods?" Liu Ruo thought.
"I don't know the details." Xiaokui turned half of her body upwards and looked at Liu Liu who was sleeping on his upper bunk. "My mother said that it all started with fishermen who went out to sea to salvage. The body of a young man was recovered."
"Although the corpse belonged to a man, it looked very beautiful. Silver curly hair curled in front of him, his hands and feet were slender and graceful, and he was wearing loose outer clothing. He didn't breathe like a dead man, but like a sea creature. Demon."
"My mother also went to see the corpse, and she said she had never seen such a good-looking man."
"And then?" Liu asked, "What did you do to this corpse? Did you bury him?"
Xiaokui shook her head in confusion: "Well, all the adults at that time were not in favor of burying this corpse, and I didn't know how it would be useful to keep it outside, but my father said, then kind of look..."
Liu's tone was calm: "Even if it's just a corpse, I feel that other values can be squeezed out, right?"
Xiaokui hummed and continued: "The county magistrate thinks this is a good business opportunity. He proposed to repair the abandoned hotel in the county and turn it into a museum or something, and then make it into a Wax figures or sculptures are displayed in museums, and Luming County is promoted in the name of catching sea monsters, to see if this can be used as a publicity point to attract tourists and make everyone earn money.”
"As soon as this plan was put forward, it was unanimously approved by everyone. Everyone is very grateful to the county magistrate for coming up with such a good idea, saying that if the museum is built, a personal sculpture of the county magistrate must be erected in front of the museum as a commendation .”
... The seaside town that was originally poor and backward, and has lived on fishing for generations accidentally caught a "sea monster" with an amazing appearance, so the local mayor/county head was inspired and proposed that this The "sea monster" is made into wax figures or sculptures and placed in museums, and uses this as a selling point to vigorously promote it to attract tourists and develop the town's economy...
Except for the different location and background, this direction and development is completely a replica of "Siren Town", even the sculpture of the mayor/county magistrate in front of the museum is exactly the same.
But judging from the situation of the evil god festival where Liu was located before, Luming County didn't know why, but didn't take this path.
Or to be more precise, the initial version of "Siren Town" should be this "Evil God Festival Boat House".
Therefore, the first copy of the game that Liu Liu should have encountered in this world line was supposed to be this "Cthulhu Sacrifice Boat House", but for some reason, he stepped in and changed The copy of the landing made the "Siren Town", which is simpler and farther away from where Liu is located, land on the world line where Liu is located.
Until now, it's already the playoffs, and Liu is now handing down the copy of "Evil God Sacrifice Boathouse" to him.
Liu glanced sideways, and looked down at Xiaokui who was on the lower bunk: "Are you going to do this in the end?"
"How do you know?" Xiaokui looked up in surprise, "All the museums in the county started construction, but something happened the night before the construction started, and everyone changed overnight. The idea is not to build a museum, but to build a shrine."
Liu Chuimou: "Are many of you dreaming?"
Xiaokui was completely shocked, she tried her best to raise her head to see Liu's face, and said excitedly: "How do you know! Are you also a sacrifice who ran away from Luming County?!"
Liu's tone was flat: "I'm not, but I've heard a lot about the situation in your county."
If the collective can change their minds overnight, it is estimated that Liu Liu will go down in person, and Liu Liu cannot directly interfere with reality according to the rules of the game, so there is only one situation——
——Liu entered the dreams of these people, bewitched them, and let Luming County develop according to the game path he wanted.
Xiaokui's voice became depressed: "...That's right, this incident is very well-known, and people from other counties should have experienced it. Luming County has a dream."
"Dream?" Liu asked, "What's the matter?"
Xiaokui paused: "On the day before the groundbreaking of the museum, many people went to that place to watch the corpse of the Kraken that was put in there. That night, those who went to watch the Kraken's corpse for only 1 day were dreaming. , it was the same dream."
"They dreamed of a fairy-like god dressed in black hunting clothes. The god couldn't see his face clearly, sitting in the high sky on the coast of Luming County, looking down at everyone with a smile, and saying, I feel you. The evil desire for money, as your reward for catching the evil god, I can play a game with you and give you two choices."
"The first choice is that I will not interfere with your choice. You follow your own path and become a well-regulated tourist town. Some people raise their money and leave this remote small town, and then the remaining group of fishermen continue Tourists who have worked hard to fish and have less and less entertainment are dying of old age here together with this small county that is slowly falling into disrepair."
"At the same time, you will be affected by the remains of the old evil god, which is what you call the sea monster, and you will become neither human nor ghost."
"The first choice, I give you the qualification to become my believers."
"You repair the shrine for me in Luming County, and offer sacrifices to me every year. I will choose my favorite sacrifice among them, and then realize that you and the sacrifices are equivalent to me. desire."
Xiaokui's voice became hoarse: "Everyone chose the first one."
"They kneel down in their dreams, my lord, what is the sacrifice?"
"The evil god answered them with a smile, saying, my sacrifice is human pain, the more pure and extreme pain, the more valuable it is to me, and the more wishes you can make." value."
"So they knelt down, raised their heads, and asked reverently, Lord Evil God, what are you, how should we worship you?"
"The evil god answered them with a smile, saying, my incarnation around you is the corpse of the sea monster you caught."
"He is the incarnation of evil, the bearer of desire. Once you see it, the flesh/body will be overflowing with greedy desire and the sin of losing humanity. Therefore, the soul is squeezed out of the body and becomes what I can easily get A note."
"—So you enshrine that corpse in the shrine with the highest standard, kneel before him day and night, torture the sacrifices, and offer sacrifices to him, for him to choose from thousands of different tastes in this world pain of."
"If He is willing to wake up from death and accept the pain of this sacrifice, then I will come to fulfill your wish."
"If He is not willing to accept the pain of this sacrifice, it means that the pain of your sacrifice is not up to the standard of waking Him up."
"Master Cthulhu smiled happily, and he said, then you should intensify the intensity of torturing the sacrifices until the old Cthulhu who closed his eyes is willing to open his eyes again, look at this mortal world, and step down from the high throne to accept This is the ultimate pain."
