Name: Phantom·Decision Cane
Elements: [Loyalty], [Allegiance], [Props], [Decision]
Introduction: A solid wood crutch looks ordinary, but it has gained strange power because of a certain legend.
When facing a senior executive of an organization, you can swear allegiance to the other party by breaking your crutches with your knees.
This allegiance will definitely be accepted, and before the swearer makes a clear act of betrayal, he can enjoy the benefits of the organization whose status is second only to the senior executive. All members of the organization whose status is not higher than this senior executive will not be able to do anything to the swearer. any hostile behavior.
Note: Hahaha! So humans are really interesting, and I decided not to destroy the earth.
…
The crutches broke in response, and a strange power spread. The so-called setting was too big, and the attitude of the young man with giant horns changed obviously. He let out a hearty laugh, took two steps forward, and patted Feng Xue on the shoulder. road:
"It's so interesting. From now on you will be a member of Hyakumonogatari. Let's go. I'll show you the world just in time!"
"Then can I continue the live broadcast?" Feng Xue showed a shy smile, and the giant-horned young man immediately nodded and said:
"Of course, we originally broadcast it live on the entire network!"
[Fuck, what’s going on? 】
[Isn’t this Jiutan a fool? 】
【Is this okay? 】
[Does the breaking of a cane have any special symbolic meaning? Or is it a secret code? 】
…
The members in the live broadcast room had begun to go crazy, but Feng Xue, who was following the giant-horned youth, raised the corners of his mouth. He decided that the crutch was a fantasy object he made before going to the cyberpunk world. He originally wanted to use it to build a big company. He was a stepping stone, but he didn't expect that world to be conquered "easily" by him, so the crutch was not used.
His squirrel disease is not very serious. Although a prop like this is extremely effective, it is also very specific and should be used as needed.
Not long after, Feng Xue arrived at the Skytree and walked into a spacious space specially transformed into a Japanese-style layout.
Logically speaking, the 450-meter observation deck of the Skytree should not have such a large area, but some kind of special illusion is obviously used here.
Although I don't know whether it was a space replacement or a space expansion, or maybe someone simply brought out his room in the Tower of Babel, in short, this room is far larger than imagined.
Visually, the room of more than 5,000 square meters was paved with tatami mats that smelled faintly of rushes. On the wall due north, there was a long unfolded scroll with countless strange-shaped monsters and monsters drawn on it. Feng Xue glanced at it from a distance and noticed that this It's a phantom called [Hundred Ghosts at Night].
In front of this picture, everyone is sitting on neatly arranged futons, forming a large circle of a hundred people in the center of the space. In front of each person, there is a lamp that is either extinguished or lit. Candelabra.
However, unlike the live broadcasts in other areas that Feng Xue saw through the built-in screen of the Kamen Rider armor, these Wudu had no intention of telling strange stories at this time, and were just waiting quietly for something.
Suddenly, a figure of Wu moved slightly, and at the same time, the extinguished candlestick in front of him suddenly burned automatically.
He lowered his eyes slightly, glanced at the candlelight, and made no new moves. However, Feng Xue could vaguely see that the candlelight seemed to be a fire of strange stories.
"[Combat], [Killing], [Sharp], [Chasing], [Hunting]..."
Silently reading the label in the ghost fire, Feng Xue turned her head and looked at the other candles, confirming that every flame was a ghost fire.
He pointed the live broadcast camera at this strange scene, but did not speak. Instead, he intensively reviewed the live broadcasts and recordings of Hyakumonogatari from other regions.
As the candles lit themselves, he finally grasped the key.
He found that among the hundreds of stories from various places, there were actually very few that actually created new ghost stories. Most of them were telling some old stories. But when the story was finished and the candle in his hand was blown out, his The body will change, and then turn into a strange story corresponding to his story.
But this kind of behavior is not directly shaped. In Feng Xue's view, it is more like "inheritance", because among those strange stories, Feng Xue discovered many strange stories about people who were killed by him, including even members of the Tengu Council. , and as time went by, he also noticed that every time Yuwu turned into a ghost story, there would be a shadow of a ghost story flickering in the phantom volume called "The Night Journey of One Hundred Ghosts".
When Wu in the branch room finishes telling his hundredth ghost story, all the candles in the venue will be extinguished, and at the same time, a candle will be lit in the Skytree.
After several comparisons, Feng Xue discovered that the flame of ghost stories in the lit candle was not just a single wisp, but a hundred wisps of flames gathered together. To put it bluntly, it was a bit like the kind of ghost stories with multiple entries. , but it seems that it has not yet completed digestion.
"Is this the point of the Hyakumonogatari ritual? The local Hyakumonogatari ritual is used to inherit the Kaidan that has been 'awakened', while the core of the Clear Sky Tree creates or awakens new Kaidan. I just don't know that this kind of awakening is simply to bring that Kaidan to life. The Fire of Strange Tales can be used as a ritual consumable, but you still have to tell a story that matches the flame label on the candlestick."
Feng Xue murmured in his heart, and turned his attention to the scroll of the Night Journey of One Hundred Demons again. He was very curious whether this thing was an accompanying fantasy object of the ghost story, or whether he had this fantasy object first and then used it as a template to shape it. The story of a hundred things.
But before he could think deeply, a series of hostile eyes fell on him. Feng Xue stopped peeking at the Night Journey of the Hundred Ghosts, and looked at the Hyakumonogatari cadres who were called bystanders but actually looked after, and secretly felt in his heart. alert.
The ability to choose the crutch is indeed abnormal, but its ability is "cannot commit hostile acts" rather than "will not have hostile thoughts". In other words, although he was pulled into the organization by the giant-horned young man, all the strange stories are very strange. It was clear that he had a problem, it was just that he was unable to take action due to the power of the phantom. Not only was he unable to take action, he could also enjoy all the benefits that senior cadres of Hyakumonogatari could enjoy, including watching this game. important ceremony.
Of course, the people in Hyakumonogatari are obviously not stupid. They believe that as long as he makes the slightest act of betrayal, he will be attacked by a group of people.
However, it must be a "clear" behavior!
Feng Xue smiled secretly in her heart and waited for the passage of time.
When the moon climbed to the top of the sky, the stars also merged into a galaxy due to the ruins of Tokyo. The last candle in the room was lit at this moment, and a strange power enveloped the entire Skytree.
A Wu who was located near the north wall seemed to have been waiting for a long time. At this moment, Guai Tan, who was in charge of shooting, adjusted various new or old photographic equipment in place, and Feng Xue also raised his live broadcast drone.
But before she could say anything, Feng Xue secretly gave herself an [unintelligible].
If you don’t understand Kamen Rider memes, you can compare this cane-breaking behavior to the feeling of “you are so accurate in reading people”.
But there is a slight difference, that is, "he is a good judge of people" is just "he gave too much", and the person in this meme faced the threat of death and chose to be loyal to the enemy who killed his father (although I later learned that in fact I went to work as an undercover agent). The reason why it became a joke is because the performance of this plot is quite crude.
Wu Ziming (Kong Er, actually called Nei Hai) watched his boss (who he regarded as his father) being killed by the villain boss. Then the boss threw the dead man's crutch to him and asked him what he would do next, whether to avenge his father or be loyal to him.
At this time, the background music began to play a sad melody, and the scene flashed through this man's memories of his boss being like a father, and he lowered his head and looked at the crutches, crying in pain.
Usually at this time, in movies or animations, the person involved would basically explode his seed, burn his small universe, or would rather die than give in. At the end of the day, he would have to make a suicidal charge to prove his will.
But this dear friend suddenly started laughing loudly, then broke his crutches, and then said the classic "I will swear allegiance to you." Because of the extremely clumsy twist and the actor's appearance, he became famous Scenes.
