Liu Xing nodded, indicating that he could understand what the Yellow King was saying.
In the background of the Cthulhu Mythos, most of the Great Old Ones have been sealed in various places in various ways, such as Cthulhu being directly sealed in the city of R'lyeh and falling into an endless slumber, while Gralki and several other Great Old Ones have been sealed in the Saven Valley, but these Great Old Ones are all in a state of wakefulness.
Of course, although Cthulhu is currently in a state of slumber, as a Great Old One, Cthulhu can still cause trouble all over the Earth even while sleeping.
But to get back to the main topic, these sealed Great Old Ones, under normal circumstances, cannot leave the places where they are sealed.
So these Great Old Ones, in order to get out of their suffering and regain their status as the rulers of the Earth, often use various means to "leave" the places where they are sealed, such as Hastur and Gralki, who have created multiple avatars to represent themselves and carry out activities in various places.
There is also the case of Cthulhu, who establishes contact with his recognized believers through "divine communication" and then misleads these believers to serve him.
Of course, there are also some Great Old Ones who use projection to appear before their believers and then arrange for their believers to complete various missions.
Finally, there are those like the Serpent God Yig, who use certain means to create "vessels" that can accommodate their possession, so that they can freely move about using the bodies of these "vessels".
However, these "vessels" cannot possibly contain the full power of the Great Old Ones, and may not even be able to accommodate one percent of it, so these "vessels" are all considered to be fast-consuming items that need to be replaced after a few days.
And from what the Yellow King just said, it can be inferred that the Serpent God Yig has put in a lot of effort to create the ten "vessels" including Su Ziche's sister, so the Serpent God Yig attaches great importance to these ten "vessels" and even dares not use them casually.
So the Yellow King has come out specifically to warn Liu Xing not to investigate Su Ziche's sister's matter anymore, lest he get himself in trouble and be targeted by the Serpent God Yig, who might even come after the Yellow King.
Thinking about this, Liu Xing couldn't help but shudder. If it weren't for his relationship with the Yellow King, he would probably have to deal with the Serpent God Yig before long, and then he would get to experience firsthand how terrifying the Great Old Ones are.
But on the other hand, Liu Xing suddenly thought of another question - what is the reason for the Serpent God Yig to arrange one of its important "vessels" to come to Tokyo Comprehensive University? Could it be that the mythical creature in Cross Lake is also very important to the Serpent God Yig?
Thinking about this, Liu Xing quickly asked the Yellow King, "My lord, what is the background of that mythical creature in the Mirror World's Cross Lake, that the Serpent God Yig would send one of its important vessels to guard it?"
The Yellow King was silent for a moment before speaking, "As for this, I originally didn't plan to tell you, but since you've asked about it, Ryuusei, I'll tell you. The mythical creature in the Mirror World can be considered a great treasure, do you understand what I mean?"
Liu Xing suddenly understood, and quickly nodded to indicate that he got it.
"Okay, Ryuusei, as long as you don't go looking for trouble with Su Ziche's sister, the Serpent God Yig won't come after you either. As for the mythical creature in the Mirror World, although I also want you to get your hands on it, given the current situation, we'd better honestly leave it to the Serpent God Yig, because that guy's mind is as small as a snake's, and it won't let go of anything it has set its sights on. Of course, if necessary, you'll also have to stay away from Su Ziche and his sister to avoid unnecessary trouble."
Liu Xing nodded. Since the Yellow King had said so, he would keep a certain distance from Su Ziche and his sister in the future.
However, what Liu Xing was now more curious about was the strength of Su Ziche's sister herself.
Since there was a question, he should ask, especially since the Yellow King was a "good teacher" who would answer any question.
So Liu Xing told the Yellow King his question.
This time, the Yellow King's silence lasted even longer, to the point where Liu Xing began to wonder if he had asked the wrong question.
Just as Liu Xing was about to change the subject to break the awkward atmosphere, the Yellow King finally spoke, "Ryuusei, your question has hit a sore spot for me. I'm not really sure about the exact strength of Su Ziche's sister, because in a sense, Su Ziche's sister is the child of the Serpent God Yig, so by human standards, she should be considered a demigod. Although she has the so-called 'divine status', her actual strength does not match her 'divine status'. Therefore, Su Ziche's sister's current strength is not much different from Rundell's, but Rundell would never dare to attack Su Ziche's sister under normal circumstances, because humans never have the courage to attack a god, unless that person has already gone mad."
Liu Xing nodded. No wonder Rundell had mentioned that it felt like it couldn't provoke Su Ziche's sister when it saw her.
But getting back to the topic, Liu Xing himself didn't feel anything unusual about Su Ziche's sister, and he didn't have the feeling of not daring to attack her either.
At this time, it seemed that the Yellow King had seen through Liu Xing's thoughts, and he smiled and said, "Ryuusei, I know what you are thinking now, and the answer to this question is very simple - it is because you are human, so the ignorant are fearless!"
Ignorant are fearless?
Liu Xing raised his eyebrows, and then quickly understood the meaning of the Yellow King's words.
As mentioned earlier, the human fear of certain things is rooted in their genes and bloodline, because these things have once harmed the Ancient Humans, or the Ancient Humans have witnessed the terribleness of these things. Since seeking benefits and avoiding harm is the innate nature of all living beings (except for the dominant one in Africa), all living beings in the process of evolution will memorize those things that they cannot provoke in their genes and pass them down from generation to generation, so that when their descendants see those things for the first time, they will feel fear and keep their distance.
Therefore, the Byakhee clan that Rundell belongs to must have witnessed the terror of the Great Old Ones over the long years, so the fear of the Great Old Ones is contained in the genes of the Byakhee clan.
And in the setting of the Cthulhu Mythos, many offspring of the Great Old Ones have become new Great Old Ones, such as Cthulhu's "embarrassing" daughter.
Therefore, although Su Ziche's sister's current strength is still very ordinary, she can still be regarded as a Great Old One, so she can arouse Rundell's instinctive fear.
As for Liu Xing, as a human, since human history is really too short, and humans have never witnessed the existence of the Great Old Ones on a large scale, there is a lack of fear of the Great Old Ones in human genes, and they will only be frightened to madness when they really see the Great Old Ones...
However, when facing a pseudo-Great Old One like Su Ziche's sister, humans will not have as much psychological pressure as the Byakhee clan, because humans don't even know what a Great Old One is, and will only see Su Ziche's sister as an ordinary person, or an ordinary person with super abilities.
This is the ignorant are fearless.
However, Liu Xing now finally understands why the Yellow King made him his messenger, because he is human!
And his biggest role for the Yellow King is probably to deal with the offspring of other Great Old Ones, or even the Great Old Ones themselves.
It seems that he is really "of great responsibility".
Or you could say the Yellow King really thinks highly of him.
But Liu Xing feels that this is also a good thing, after all, the Yellow King is indeed a good thigh, because he definitely cannot contact the Great Old Ones in a short period of time, and when he really contacts the Great Old Ones, it means that he can no longer escape.
"Okay, Ryuusei, I've said everything I need to say. Now it's up to your own judgment. But I still have to say one more thing - don't go provoke Su Ziche's sister. But you can still use the tactic of using a knife to kill someone to deal with the Deep Diving Society, because the Deep Diving Society definitely doesn't know the relationship between Su Ziche's sister and the Serpent God Yig," the Yellow King said with a smile.
Liu Xing nodded, although he can't provoke Su Ziche's sister now, this doesn't affect him continuing to use the tactic of driving the tiger to swallow the wolf... Of course, now he should drive the tiger to swallow the rat, after all, even if the Deep Diving Society is strong, they can't beat the Serpent God Yig.
After the Yellow King left, Liu Xing first contacted Rundell and told him the news about Su Ziche's sister, so as to avoid Rundell having a conflict with Su Ziche's sister... Although Rundell doesn't dare to attack Su Ziche's sister, if Su Ziche's sister discovers Rundell, it may still cause some "misunderstandings".
But now Liu Xing is struggling with another problem, that is, how to persuade Zhang Jingxu and the others not to provoke Su Ziche's sister...
Although Zhang Jingxu and the others know that Su Ziche's sister is the "Holy Maiden" of the Freemasons, in the previous discussion, everyone thought that Su Ziche's sister should only be a mascot, and as long as they are not discovered by the Freemasons, it doesn't matter even if they kill Su Ziche's sister.
But the situation is different now, Su Ziche's sister has been upgraded to a "Great Old One". This means that not only can his group not hurt Su Ziche's sister, as long as Su Ziche's sister feels that his group is a threat, his group will have a deadly feud with the Freemasons.
It is believed that under the guidance of the Serpent God Yig, the believers of the Freemasons will come one after another to trouble his group.
This is where the Freemasons' advantage lies, because the Freemasons are a semi-public secret cult, so they have branches all over the world, and their peripheral members are all local powerful and wealthy figures. If the Freemasons mobilize these peripheral members to hunt down his group, then his group will really be chased to the ends of the earth.
Thinking about this, Liu Xing made up his mind that no matter what, he must stop Zhang Jingxu and the others from causing trouble for Su Ziche's sister, and if necessary, he will not hesitate to expose his relationship with the Yellow King.
Of course, things cannot be rushed, so Liu Xing plans to wait until his group meets Su Ziche's sister again before warning Zhang Jingxu and the others.
As for the Mirror World, Liu Xing has no intention of getting involved. He will just watch the Deep Diving Society and the Freemasons fight each other... Or rather, the Freemasons crush the Deep Diving Society unilaterally.
So, a week later, the cleaning team of Tokyo Comprehensive University had completed their cleaning target, so Tokyo Comprehensive University announced that classes would resume tomorrow.
However, Miguel and Ming Hanxing found nothing, because although Zhang Shiwu also participated in this cleaning team and was responsible for cleaning around Cross Lake, under Miguel's surveillance, Zhang Shiwu had been diligently sweeping the floor without any abnormalities.
As for Mu Yao and others from the Freemasons, they did not participate in this cleaning team and did not appear in Tokyo Comprehensive University during this period, so it seems they were not in a hurry either.
As for Cross Lake, since Tokyo Comprehensive University had invited several experts in advance to test the nuclear radiation levels within the university, and the nuclear radiation levels of Cross Lake were below the normal value, so Cross Lake was fine and was not drained as Liu Xing and others had thought.
"In that case, let's take the initiative and burn down the Sea-Buds Cafeteria tonight," Ling Ishikawa said seriously.
Liu Xing nodded and immediately agreed: "That's right, tonight is indeed a good opportunity to burn down the Sea-Buds Cafeteria, because after tonight, the Deep Diving Society will arrange night guards in the Sea-Buds Cafeteria again."
The reason why Liu Xing agreed with Ling Ishikawa's idea was mainly because he wanted to finish this module as soon as possible, so that he wouldn't have to figure out how to prevent Zhang Jingxu and others from harming Su Ziche's sister.
As for the Thousand Faces and the mythical creatures in the Mirror World, they were no longer within Liu Xing's consideration.
Since Liu Xing and Ling Ishikawa both supported burning down the Sea-Buds Cafeteria tonight, Zhang Jingxu and others, after thinking it over, unanimously approved this plan.
Of course, this was also because Ming Hanxing, as a believer of "WatanabeRyuusei", needed to unconditionally support "WatanabeRyuusei", and Zhang Jingxu and Zhang Wenbing saw that more than half of the people supported this plan, so they also went along with it.
