So now Thousand Face may not necessarily be Luo Renjie.
But then again, Liu Xing feels that the chance of Luo Renjie being Thousand Face should still be around sixty percent.
However, because Zhang Jingxu and others were unaware that Liu Xing had accepted the Yellow King’s Mission, they didn’t want to get involved in the matter of Thousand Face. Therefore, Zhang Jingxu and the others began to change the topic.
Zhang Wenbing took a sip of water and said, "By the way, I went to inquire about the Deep Diving Society today. Because the Deep Diving Society has already caught the attention of the China Dao Sect, I actually got quite a bit of new information from the China Dao Sect. But as they say, you never know until you ask. What a surprise! The Deep Diving Society has started making big moves in Cosmic Country. Simply put, the Deep Diving Society has begun to want to come out in the open, so it has already changed its name to the Ocean Theological Society and appeared in front of the ordinary people of Cosmic Country. It has started being promoted by those big corporations openly, with official support in the background. And because the Deep Diving Society has already cleared out other secret cults within Cosmic Country, the development of the Ocean Theological Society is very rapid. However, the Deep Diving Society still exercises some restraint, at least it hasn’t been proselytizing to foreigners temporarily residing in Cosmic Country."
"Furthermore, Cosmic Country has started preparing to expel the United States of America’s military stationed within its borders. After all, now that Cosmic Country, controlled by the Deep Diving Society, is not afraid of the United States of America’s sanctions, I heard that in today’s secret negotiations, the negotiators from Cosmic Country directly ignored the threats from the United States of America, leaving them speechless and storming out. As a result, Cosmic Country directly sent a document to the United States of America’s embassy, demanding the unconditional withdrawal of all military forces stationed in Cosmic Country within a month, otherwise Cosmic Country will take forced measures to expel the United States of America’s military."
Liu Xing, who heard this, was already looking surprised. He didn’t expect the Deep Diving Society to move against the United States of America so quickly, and so decisively, not leaving any face for the United States of America.
But then again, the Deep Diving Society does have this capability. After all, in the real world, the reason the United States of America could turn Cosmic Country into a puppet state was due to its military and economic control. And now, in this parallel world, the Deep Diving Society can directly ignore the economic threats from the United States of America because it originally intended to transform Cosmic Country into a self-sufficient closed country.
As for the military threat from the United States of America, although the strength of the Deep Diving Society is definitely not superior to that of the United States of America’s in a direct confrontation, as a secret cult, the Deep Diving Society will definitely stir up trouble in secret. By then, the United States of America will have to yield to the Deep Diving Society.
After all, the reason the United States of America qualifies as the international police officer is because it has the strongest naval power in the world, and what is the biggest trump card of the Deep Diving Society? It’s the Deep Ones in the ocean.
Therefore, if nothing unexpected happens, Liu Xing thinks that the Deep Diving Society is almost certainly using "destroying all the ships of the United States of America" as a threat to force the United States of America to make concessions and completely abandon its military deployment in Cosmic Country.
But then again, the biggest problem Liu Xing sees now is, if this plot is projected into the real world, what will it look like?
After all, in the real world, Cosmic Country doesn’t have the ability to compete with its United States of America father...
So for the real world, this will be a earth-shattering change, after all, the intentions of the United States of America to establish military bases in Cosmic Country are obvious. If the United States of America directly withdraws its troops now, it will definitely cause an international outcry.
Thinking of this, Liu Xing couldn’t help but sigh. It seems that the influence of the Cthulhu Role-Playing Game Hall on the real world will become greater and greater.
At this time, Ming Hanxing smiled and said, "It seems that this time the United States of America will have to suffer a loss. After all, secret cults like the Deep Diving Society won’t reason with the United States of America. They just need to cause various troubles for the United States of America in secret, and the United States of America will have to yield obediently. This is like an old saying in China—those who are unshod are not afraid of those who wear shoes. But then again, if the United States of America really behaves obediently and unconditionally withdraws its troops from Cosmic Country, then the international situation will probably undergo a earth-shaking change. Some countries may mistakenly assess the limits of the United States of America’s patience and come out to confront it, seeking revenge."
Everyone nodded in agreement, deeply convinced by Ming Hanxing’s view.
As Ming Hanxing said, those countries unaware that Cosmic Country has been taken over by the Deep Diving Society, if they see the United States of America unexpectedly withdraw its troops from Cosmic Country without a word, then these countries will probably think that the United States of America has become a paper tiger, not even able to control its "adopted son" Cosmic Country, so if these countries suddenly lose their minds and decide to confront Cosmic Country, then these countries will probably have to face the wrath of the United States of America, with no place to hide.
Thinking of this, Liu Xing and others began to mourn silently for some unlucky country.
But at this moment, Ling Ishikawa suddenly spoke up, "By the way, do you think that after seeing Cosmic Country successfully break free from the control of the United States of America, the officials of Island Nation will follow suit and strive to become the second Cosmic Country?"
Liu Xing raised an eyebrow. Ling Ishikawa’s speculation was indeed very likely.
Because whether in the real world or in this parallel world, Cosmic Country and Island Nation definitely both want to break free from the control of the United States of America. After all, nobody likes being under someone else’s control, being treated like a dog.
But due to various historical reasons, Island Nation and Cosmic Country unavoidably fell under the control of the United States of America. As long as either Cosmic Country or Island Nation shows signs of resistance, the United States of America will come forward and give these two dogs of its a little smack to keep them in line.
But now, if Island Nation sees its brothers-in-arms Cosmic Country suddenly standing up to the United States of America and forcing it to loosen its grip, then Island Nation will surely have ideas of its own.
After all, as the saying goes—people don’t fear being few, they fear being unequal.
In the past, Island Nation could still console itself with the fact that it had Cosmic Country by its side to be dogs together with, and when it was ridiculed, it could rely on Cosmic Country to take the heat. But now, Cosmic Country has silently slipped away, leaving Island Nation alone, so from now on, there will only be one country left in the world still being a dog. ȑ𝐚𝐍ó𝐛ƐＳ
This is a huge disgrace.
Moreover, within Island Nation, there are many radical factions advocating for breaking free from the control of the United States of America, and most civilians also hope that the authorities can send back the United States of America’s troops, after all, the presence of the United States of America’s troops in Island Nation has caused quite a bit of trouble. Sёarᴄh the NovelZone.fun website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
So now Cosmic Country’s situation can also be seen as a roadmap for Island Nation, just need to introduce a secret cult to force the United States of America to yield, why not?
After all, Island Nation has always been a very peculiar country, they can almost be said to be able to do anything, so Liu Xing has no doubt that the Island Nation authorities would cooperate with a certain secret cult in order to break free from the control of the United States of America.
Although this is tantamount to dealing with a tiger.
Thinking of this, Liu Xing couldn’t help but sigh. It seems that this parallel world is about to undergo a major transformation, but hopefully the Island Nation authorities won’t also seek cooperation with the Deep Diving Society, otherwise he and his companions will have to leave the Island Nation.
After a casual discussion, everyone was very certain that after learning about the situation in Cosmic Country, the Island Nation authorities would choose to replicate the "path to success" of Cosmic Country, so Liu Xing and others looked at Zhang Wenbing, hoping that he could obtain first-hand information in this regard.
Because if Island Nation really seeks cooperation with the Deep Diving Society, then Liu Xing and others will only have to choose to flee to other countries, even if they are "dropouts".
After all, once the Deep Diving Society deepens its cooperation with Island Nation, it will definitely come back to settle scores with them, and by then if they still stay in Island Nation, they will surely meet a certain death, then they will definitely end up with a torn card conclusion.
And if they are only "dropouts", then they still have a chance to resurrect their character card through the resurrection module, so this is also preserving the spark of hope.
Liu Xing sighed, somewhat helpless, and said, "Do you guys feel that the world is changing faster and faster now? Not long ago, the Glasgow riots happened, and now Cosmic Country and Island Nation are about to turn the tables. If this continues, what kind of world will we end up in?"
Zhang Jingxu shrugged and spoke, "Behind these events are the workings of those secret cults, so all of this should be attributed to those secret cults becoming active. But on another note, why have all these secret cults suddenly become collectively active recently? Could it be that these secret cults have reached an agreement in secret?"
Actually, everyone present was very aware that their current parallel world had already entered its later stages.
According to the speculations of the players in the Cthulhu Role-Playing Game Hall, each parallel world has a certain "lifespan", and the outcome of each module occurring within this parallel world will either add or subtract from its lifespan.
So based on the remaining "lifespan" of each parallel world, players divide these parallel worlds into three periods: early, middle, and late.
In the early period of the parallel world, it could basically be said to have no difference from the real world, except for the addition of a group of Great Old Ones, mythical creatures, and some secret cults in secret. Moreover, the actions of the players during this period will more or less influence the subsequent plot development of this parallel world.
And when a certain number of players in this parallel world receive world Missions and are promoted to the Hound of Tindalos region, then this parallel world can be considered to have entered the middle period. At this time, some important NPCs will appear, these important NPCs will replace players as the protagonists of this parallel world, and the direction of the plot in this parallel world will depend more on the actions of these important NPCs.
Next, when a certain number of players have completed at least ten world Missions and advanced to the Cthulhu region, then this parallel world will enter the late period. At this time, the protagonist of this parallel world will return to the players, but the activity of secret cults and mythical creatures will also greatly increase. Moreover, the Cthulhu Role-Playing Game Hall will no longer introduce new players into this parallel world, but of course, old players can still create new character cards in this parallel world.
So, Liu Xing and others felt that the parallel world they were in had already entered its later stages, and perhaps Hashi Motojun’s group of players were the last group of novice players in this parallel world.
But most importantly, when a parallel world enters its later stages, the situation in this parallel world will change rapidly. After all, those lurking in the shadows will begin to emerge, and Monsters that originally only existed in novels and movies will also appear before people. The familiar world of humans will gradually collapse!
This is the true Cthulhumyth world!
In the eyes of the players in the Cthulhu Role-Playing Game Hall, only a parallel world that has entered its later stages truly conforms to the worldview of Cthulhumyth.
It seems that real trouble is about to come.
Liu Xing and others sighed involuntarily.
"Alright, let’s not dwell on trivial matters. Let’s get back to the point. I’ve also obtained some important information. The former members of the Strange Tales Club are planning to take action in two days to drive out the members of the Urban Legends Club from the Mysterious Stories Club. So I think we need to get involved in this matter." Zhang Wenbing suddenly spoke up.
Liu Xing looked at Zhang Wenbing, somewhat surprised, and said, "Brother Zhang, how did you find out about this matter?"
Zhang Jingxu and others also looked at Zhang Wenbing with puzzled expressions, after all, Zhang Wenbing had been busy with company matters these past few days.
Zhang Wenbing chuckled and said earnestly, "I’ve told you young people, still relying on old tricks. I asked a friend of mine in the company to secretly install a miniature listening device in the activity room of the Mysterious Stories Club some time ago. So this afternoon, I overheard a conversation between Oyamaya and other Deep Diving Society followers, and the conversation was very simple. It was about asking those Deep Diving Society followers to endure for two more days, and then in two days, the members of the former Urban Legends Club would receive retribution."
