Dice In The Darkness: Cthulhu Calls-Chapter 571: Four Plans and a Mission

Ming Hanxing nodded and said, "I have submitted an application to join the inspection team, but I have not yet officially passed the Judgment, so I am not very clear about the application results. I will tell you later. However, as a teacher of the China Club, my chances of being selected are relatively high, after all, the duty of the inspection team this time is to determine the activity atmosphere of various clubs and the activity funds for the next semester, so professional personnel are needed to participate."

Liu Xing and the others looked at Ming Hanxing with a worried look, because they all felt that Ming Hanxing was not a professional.

Ming Hanxing sighed helplessly and said, "Although I am not a professional in the real world, the memory of this character card is enough for me to fill in, and I just need to follow the other teachers."

Of course, to be on the safe side, Liu Xing and the others still formulated a Plan B, after all, Ming Hanxing is still a young new teacher who has just entered the School, and in the Island Nation where seniority and experience are valued, he may not have much say. Moreover, if Oyamaya and the others are a little more careful, they should also arrange for Tanaka Fuji to participate in the inspection, and then Ming Hanxing will definitely not be able to beat Tanaka Fuji.

However, the B plan set by Liu Xing and the others is also very simple, which is to let Zhang Wenbing try to get a high-definition camera with night vision function again. If it is a micro one, it would be even better. Then they can directly shoot the whole process of Oyamaya and the others "committing the crime", and then anonymously publish it online.

As long as there are no accidents, Oyamaya and the others will have to be expelled from the School.

But anyway, Ling Ishikawa is also planning to come up with a Plan C, which is to take advantage of the opportunity when Oyamaya and the others are causing trouble, and let Shoggoth out to wreak havoc in the club activity room of the Mysterious Stories Club, so that Oyamaya and the others will fall into trouble.

After all, the former members of the Urban Legends Club will definitely think that Shoggoth is a mythical creature summoned by Oyamaya and the others. Unless Oyamaya and the others have the heart to kill, they will definitely be reported by the former members of the Urban Legends Club, and then the School will surely expel Oyamaya and the others to maintain stability.

Of course, if Oyamaya and the others dare to kill, then the matter will not be as simple as expulsion. Liu Xing and the others can tell OkoHayato about this matter, let OkoHayato return a favor, and solve Oyamaya and the others.

However, after the three plans were formulated, Zhang Jingxu suddenly said with some concern, "By the way, the three plans we are preparing now are based on the premise that Oyamaya and the others will take action against the former members of the Urban Legends Club. What if Oyamaya and the others adopt a conciliatory strategy, such as using money to induce the former members of the Urban Legends Club to leave the club, or directly recruit the former members of the Urban Legends Club into the Deep Diving Society? Then our three plans may all be in vain, because these things in the Island Nation are not really big deals, even if we expose them, the School will at most just warn Oyamaya and the others."

Zhang Jingxu’s words made Liu Xing and the others pause, because what Zhang Jingxu said was very reasonable. After all, the words "coercion" and "inducement" are often associated with each other because their starting point and ultimate goal are the same, so they are often used together.

So for Oyamaya, coercion may be the most convenient and direct choice to achieve their goal, but inducement is the best choice, because the risk of inducement is the lowest, and the cost is very low for a secret cult like the Deep Diving Society, after all, the Deep Diving Society has already completely controlled the Cosmic Country, and the economy of the Cosmic Country is not bad.

As for converting the former members of the Urban Legends Club, Liu Xing felt that this was unlikely, because according to the information obtained earlier, these former members of the Urban Legends Club were basically atheists, which does not meet the standard of believers of the Deep Diving Society. Unless Oyamaya and the others directly hypnotize and control those former members of the Urban Legends Club, the possibility of conversion is minimal.

But anything is possible.

So Zhang Jingxu’s words made Liu Xing and the others sit down again to formulate a Plan D. That is, if Oyamaya and the others choose to induce those former Urban Legends Club members, then Liu Xing can have HonekawaSuneo find some social people to disguise as the henchmen that Oyamaya invited, go to "recover" the money in the hands of those former Urban Legends Club members, and then leave some clues to point the finger at Oyamaya and the others. At that time, those former Urban Legends Club members will certainly go to trouble Oyamaya... Of course, if you want to be more direct, you can just let those social people "rob" Oyamaya, and then shift the blame to those former Urban Legends Club members, forcing Oyamaya to take action.

As for if Oyamaya and the others want to absorb those former Urban Legends Club members to join the Deep Diving Society, Liu Xing and the others can only take advantage of the situation again, try to make a fuss about this matter, such as borrowing Oyamaya and the others’ names to vigorously promote the Deep Diving Society on the School’s forum, and then arrange for someone to come forward and act as a villain, then heat up the matter, and surely the School will come out to manage it.

At this moment, the second Private Room time also ended.

Since the matter had been basically discussed, Liu Xing and the others did not choose to renew, but directly left the club activity room. After all, after entering the Mirror World today, due to certain special reasons, Liu Xing "stared fixatedly" at the surface of Cross Lake, so Liu Xing was not sure how big the range of this Mirror World was, whether it included this Old Teaching Building or not. Therefore, for safety’s sake, Liu Xing and the others have decided not to wander around the vicinity of Cross Lake unless necessary.

This time, when Liu Xing and the others left the Old Teaching Building, they did not encounter any suspicious people, and the activity room of the Mysterious Stories Club was also not lit up, which made the Liu Xing and the others who wanted to "catch a rabbit while grabbing the grass" feel disappointed.

However, on the way back, Zhang Jingxu received a call from Hashi Motojun, which simply means that Hashi Motojun and the others have successfully completed all the Missions provided by the new game, and then successfully entered the "inner world" of this new game.

The interface of the "inner world" of this new game is similar to the old game, but this time the only one with the authority to release Missions is Thousand Face.

And now Thousand Face has released a Mission - go to the site of the Tokyo Skytree explosion incident and take a photo of yourself with Tokyo Skytree.

The reward for this Mission is one hundred thousand Island Nation yen.

"One hundred thousand Island Nation yen, Thousand Face is really generous. That’s equivalent to one day’s living expenses for our Ryuusei classmate," Zhang Jingxu said with a smile.

Liu Xing looked at Zhang Jingxu blankly and said, "You can even find an opportunity to bash me, I’m really impressed. But talking about Buddha, it reminds me of Journey to the West... Anyway, I think Thousand Face should be looking for the next batch of people to work for it, but I still don’t quite understand Thousand Face’s operation, because if Thousand Face’s intelligence is still normal, then it should know that the Island Nation authorities will be watching those who go to take photos near Tokyo Skytree, so..."

"So Zhang Jingxu, you should tell Hashi Motojun and the others not to complete this Mission at all costs. If there’s no accident, Hashi Motojun and the others will receive a new Mission released by Thousand Face in a few days, because this Mission should be used by Thousand Face to divert the attention of the Island Nation authorities," Ling Ishikawa said affirmatively.

Zhang Wenbing next to them nodded and said while holding a mobile phone, "Ling Ishikawa, you’re right. Thousand Face may indeed be using a strategy to lure the tiger away from the mountain, because the Island Nation authorities have already learned about this news and specially arranged a team of plainclothes police officers to monitor the site of the Tokyo Skytree explosion incident. However, I think it’s possible that Thousand Face will still give new Missions to those being monitored by the Island Nation authorities, because the authorities may not be able to monitor everyone at the same time, since I heard that a lot of people have been taking selfies at the site of the Tokyo Skytree explosion incident these days, so someone may get the reward for the Mission with the selfies taken a few days ago."

Liu Xing raised his eyebrows and stroked his now smooth chin, saying, "Oh, that’s possible. But overall, we can be sure that Thousand Face is going to continue to stir up trouble this time, so I think we shouldn’t go to crowded places or places where Thousand Face’s enemies might go, to avoid being affected."

At this moment, the nearby Ming Hanxing suddenly said, "Uh, I also heard something today, which is that Inukai Abe may come to visit Tokyo Comprehensive University in the near future and give a lecture, so you should know what I mean."

Liu Xing and the others stopped in their tracks, looking bewildered at Ming Hanxing.

After a while, Liu Xing sighed and said, "It seems we really have a fate with Thousand Face. I’m starting to suspect that Thousand Face is actually targeting us. The first two times, it disrupted where we went, and this time it’s directly coming to trouble us."

Of course, Liu Xing actually thinks this may be because he took on the Yellow King Mission, which has led to a connection between Thousand Face and himself in the unseen.

But anyway, Liu Xing suddenly felt that OkoHayato should be contacting him soon, after all, he had talked to him about this new game this morning.

Sure enough, as soon as Liu Xing and the others got home, OkoHayato called, "Hey, Ryuusei classmate, you should know about that matter, right?"

Liu Xing didn’t play dumb, and directly said, "That’s right, I just heard from my friend that he has already entered the inner world of that new game, but the most important thing is that Thousand Face has released a Mission to take a photo with the site of the Tokyo Skytree explosion, but I think Thousand Face’s purpose in releasing this Mission is to divert your attention."

"Great minds think alike, I also think Thousand Face’s newly released Mission is to divert our attention, but the higher-ups are still cautious and have dispatched a lot of people to monitor the site of the Tokyo Skytree explosion, and in just a while we’ve found over a hundred people taking photos with the site of the Tokyo Skytree explosion, and there are quite a few foreign tourists among them... But anyway, Ryuusei classmate, the few friends you mentioned should all be from Tokyo Comprehensive University, right?"

Hearing OkoHayato’s question, Liu Xing smiled and said, "That’s right, they are indeed students of Tokyo Comprehensive University, but since Officer Oko is asking me this question, does that mean the rumor is true?"

The rumor that Liu Xing was referring to was naturally the one that Ming Hanxing had just mentioned about Inukai Abe coming to Tokyo Comprehensive University for a visit and lecture.

"That’s right, we’ve received a notice from above that Inukai Abe has confirmed that he will visit Tokyo Comprehensive University for an inspection and lecture in the near future, so we will start preparing in advance for Tokyo Comprehensive University in the next few days. Your friends may be under surveillance, but I can assure Ryuusei classmate that as long as your friends don’t do anything abnormal, we won’t go after them."

Liu Xing raised his eyebrows. Since OkoHayato had said so, it means he has already confirmed the identities of Hashi Motojun and the others, which means OkoHayato is monitoring their group?!

Before Liu Xing could speak, OkoHayato said in advance, "I know Ryuusei classmate may think I’m monitoring you, but I have to clarify that I accidentally learned the true identities of your friends this time, because we started scouting at Tokyo Comprehensive University today, and a friend of mine happened to be on the roof of the teaching building next to Cross Lake to confirm the surrounding situation, and then accidentally saw you suddenly collapsing in pain, and then your friends took you to the club activity room to rest, so I cross-referenced other intelligence to confirm the identities of Liu Xing’s friends."

OkoHayato’s words were reasonable, leaving Liu Xing speechless.

So after pondering for a moment, Liu Xing could only say seriously, "Alright then, I believe in your integrity, Officer Oko, so I hope you won’t make things difficult for me."
