Although Liu Xing knew that the Deep Ones and people like Bai Hecheng were randomly teleported away by Nyarlathotep's toy box, Liu Xing could not directly say so now, so he could only choose to support Ling Ishikawa's idea.

Due to Ling Ishikawa's "final verdict", Liu Xing and the others naturally chose to change the topic, which was how the "post-disaster cleanup work" of the Island Nation official was going these days.

Starting from today, the Island Nation official has arranged a large number of workers to begin cleaning up the nuclear radiation dust in major cities, and has begun to harvest and burn the crops exposed to the air, as well as slaughter and destroy the livestock that had not been confined indoors before the nuclear leak accident at the Fukushima nuclear power plant, after all, these crops and livestock have been seriously affected by nuclear radiation, and some crops near the Fukushima area have even withered directly, while the livestock have already died.

However, for safety's sake, the Island Nation official still advises the public to stay at home, as all the workers are working in full radiation protection equipment.

Of course, the Yomiuri Shimbun, which is the media that the Island Nation official hates the most, did not forget to add insult to injury this time. After the Island Nation official issued the announcement to start the post-disaster cleanup work, the Yomiuri Shimbun immediately released an exposé, saying that the officials and the military of the Island Nation had collectively disobeyed orders and refused to go to the Fukushima and surrounding heavily affected areas for the post-disaster cleanup work, fearing the impact of nuclear radiation on themselves, and the workers in other areas responsible for the post-disaster cleanup work were also just going through the motions and not really working, just staying in their vehicles and dragging their feet.

This Shimbun report from Yomiuri Shimbun caused the public's favorability towards the Island Nation official to plummet again. According to the current voting results on various forums, the support rate of the ruling party of the Island Nation official among the more than 10,000 netizens who participated in the voting has dropped to only 20%.

This is a very unfavorable signal for the ruling party, as it means that the ruling party is likely to be defeated in the upcoming new round of Island Nation leadership elections.

Liu Xing and the others also think so, believing that the current ruling party of the Island Nation official, or the Public Faction, is unlikely to make a comeback in the upcoming Island Nation leadership election, as their disadvantage is simply too great. As long as the Warrior Faction does not play any tricks, the Warrior Faction is unlikely to lose.

Of course, the Public Faction still has a very simple and brutal move to win, which is to find an opportunity to kill the Warrior Faction's candidate before the final voting stage. However, the Warrior Faction will certainly not give the Public Faction this opportunity.

But Liu Xing and the others can also be sure that the Cthulhu Role-Playing Game Hall will intervene before the "Public-Military Conflict" officially breaks out, to balance the power comparison between the Public Faction and the Warrior Faction, so that the players participating in the "Public-Military Conflict" will not all choose to join one side.

Therefore, while the Warrior Faction currently appears to have a huge advantage, Liu Xing and the others know that it won't be long before the Warrior Faction may suffer a series of setbacks and return to the same starting line as the Public Faction.

Of course, it's also possible that the Public Faction has received support from some forces and is catching up with the Warrior Faction.

However, Liu Xing and the others will still choose the Warrior Faction without hesitation.

Because according to the results of the "Public-Military Conflict" that have occurred in other parallel worlds, the faction that has the advantage before the "Public-Military Conflict" begins will have about a 60% chance of winning the final victory, but the players who join the advantageous faction and ultimately win will generally get less benefits than those who join the disadvantageous faction and ultimately win.

So in the end, it all boils down to one thing - seeking fortune in danger.

Risk and benefit always coexist.

"If nothing unexpected happens, the Island Nation official will most likely expose some more scandals, because I got a message from a colleague that the Island Nation official is currently cooperating with violent groups like Yamaguchi-gumi, getting them to find some people who are willing to risk their lives for money, and these people will be sent as 'volunteers' to clean up some of the more severely nuclear radiation polluted areas. But the most important thing is that the pollution area caused by the Fukushima nuclear power plant nuclear leak accident is really too large, basically the entire Island Nation has been affected by nuclear radiation dust, so the various radiation protection equipment of the Island Nation official is now facing a significant shortage, so these 'volunteers' can only be equipped with some low-quality radiation protection suits to do the work," Zhang Wenbing suddenly said.

Liu Xing nodded, the Fukushima nuclear power plant accident in this parallel world is indeed the same as the one that occurred in the real world, although some of the details have changed, but the final result is the same, and the post-disaster cleanup work is also progressing similarly, so Zhang Wenbing's speculation is very likely to become a reality, and the credibility of the Island Nation official will continue to decline due to the Fukushima nuclear power plant accident.

The first to be hit will be these so-called "volunteers".

Because these so-called "volunteers" are essentially suicide squads bought by the Island Nation official with money, and the most important thing is that the equipment provided by the Island Nation official to these suicide squads is not proportional to the danger they will face, to put it bluntly, the Island Nation official is essentially sending these "volunteers" to their deaths.

And now even Zhang Wenbing's China Dao Sect has learned of this news, so the Warrior Faction behind Yomiuri Shimbun must also have known about this news. However, the Warrior Faction now also knows a principle, which is not to reveal all their trump cards at once, as this not only has a poor effect, but also risks having no cards left to play in the end.

So Liu Xing and the others can now guess when Yomiuri Shimbun will play this trump card, which will be when the Island Nation official starts to publicize these "volunteers" in order to regain its reputation or divert the public's attention!

This reminds Liu Xing of the so-called "Fukushima Fifty Heroes" in the real world after the Fukushima nuclear power plant accident, who were portrayed by the Island Nation official as nameless heroes who sacrificed for the country, and at the time Liu Xing felt that something was not quite right, because except for the leader of the "Fukushima Fifty Heroes" whose identity information was released by the Island Nation official, the information of the remaining "Fukushima Heroes" was tightly guarded by the Island Nation official, only saying that they were employees and volunteers of the Fukushima nuclear power plant.

In Liu Xing's view, this was completely ridiculous, because at that time anyone with a bit of common sense knew that those who stayed at the Fukushima nuclear power plant to do the cleanup work would definitely be affected by nuclear radiation, and not only would they suffer from various diseases, but their future offspring would also be greatly affected.

In this world, although there are heroes who sacrifice themselves for others, it is impossible to gather the "Fukushima Fifty Heroes" in a short period of time.

Because after all, people these days have already learned to be "bad".

In the end, these "Fukushima Fifty Heroes" were confirmed to be a group of desperate people hired by the Island Nation official at a high daily salary of about 70,000 Chinese yuan, such as gamblers in debt, homeless vagrants, etc.

And these "volunteers" also have the shadow of mafia organizations behind them.

It seems that the Island Nation official in this parallel world has also taken this old path, but to be fair, the Island Nation official has no other choice now, as the military and officials have already started to disobey orders and refuse to enter the heavily nuclear polluted areas.

However, this is not of much concern to Liu Xing and the others, as they are also unable to go to these heavily nuclear polluted areas for module, so they can just watch the show, and also use it to speculate on the future "Public-Military Conflict" situation.

The focus now is still on the Sea-Buds Cafeteria at Tokyo Comprehensive University.

Since the personnel dispatched by the Island Nation official are only responsible for cleaning up the streets and some open public spaces in the city, the nuclear radiation dust in places like universities needs to be cleaned up by themselves, so Tokyo Comprehensive University has already notified the teachers to inform their students that the "vacation" will be extended for another week, in order to ensure that the school can hire relevant personnel to completely clean up the nuclear radiation dust in the school, to ensure the health of the students.

What Liu Xing and the others are most concerned about is that Tokyo Comprehensive University plans to change the water in Cross Lake, which means that Tokyo Comprehensive University needs to drain the water from Cross Lake first.

Because Liu Xing and the others already know that the water in Cross Lake will most likely not be able to be fully drained, they all unanimously believe that Tokyo Comprehensive University will most likely be unable to completely achieve its cleaning goal, so Tokyo Comprehensive University has a high probability of choosing to "change its thinking" and simply bury Cross Lake with soil, which would be a done deal and much more convenient than changing the water, and they won't have to worry about any disappearance incidents in the future.

Since this is a Cthulhu RPG Game module, Liu Xing and the others can be sure that the upcoming plot will play out this way!

"If Tokyo Comprehensive University really decides to directly bury Cross Lake, I think the Deep Diving Society and the Freemasons should choose to take action in advance and try to enter the Mirror World to capture that mythical creature," Zhang Jingxu said seriously.

Liu Xing shook his head, with some confusion, and said, "The Deep Diving Society and the Freemasons must be thinking that way, but they shouldn't be able to forcibly open the Mirror World, right? So as long as Zhang Wenbing and I stay away from the mirror point of Cross Lake these days, and the Deep Diving Society and the Freemasons don't find other people who have entered the Mirror World before, then unless the Deep Diving Society and the Freemasons are extremely lucky, they won't be able to enter the Mirror World."

Of course, Liu Xing said this, but in his heart he has already confirmed that if the upcoming plot is that Tokyo Comprehensive University buries Cross Lake, the mirror point on Cross Lake will definitely be activated, and the people of the Deep Diving Society and the Freemasons, such as Zhang Shiwu and Mu Yao, will be drawn into the Mirror World.

So the key point here is, should Liu Xing's group also enter the Mirror World as a "third party"?

"I'm not afraid of a thousand, I'm just afraid of the one in ten thousand chance. What if the Deep Diving Society and the Freemasons really are that lucky? And from what I know, although the world's countries and organizations currently have very little understanding of the Mirror World, let alone almost no progress in the research of the Mirror World, there do seem to be some things that can increase the possibility of the mirror point opening, but these things are so rare that their confidentiality level is very high, so I've only heard of them, but haven't seen them," Zhang Wenbing said.

At this time, Hu Li next to them suddenly said, "The Mirror World? The one you're talking about is the world that is completely reversed from the real world, right?"

Liu Xing and the others all raised their eyebrows, looking somewhat surprised at Hu Li, not expecting Hu Li to know about the existence of the Mirror World.

But thinking about it, Liu Xing immediately guessed why Hu Li knew about the Mirror World, because there is most likely a mirror point at Panlong Lake, and Gralki's avatar used the Mirror World to come to Panlong Lake!

This also explains why Gralki's avatar can appear in various lakes around the world, and no one knows how Gralki's avatar came to these lakes.

After all, Gralki's avatar is of a huge size, if it were to move around in the real world, it would definitely be discovered.

"Since you're all looking at me like this, it means I'm right, right? I actually know some information about the Mirror World, because after you left Panlong Town, Sister Green Willow told me that Panlong Lake is connected to another world, a world that is completely the opposite of the real world we're in, and that Gralki came to Panlong Lake from the Mirror World, so Sister Green Willow specifically went to study the Mirror World, but at first she got nothing, because she couldn't enter the Mirror World."

"But later, Elder Cat dissected Gralki's body and found a completely transparent round gem inside Gralki's body, but the mirror image reflected by this gem is very strange, exactly the same as the real world, not reversed like a mirror. So Elder Cat guessed that this gem is from the Mirror World, or is the key to opening the Mirror World, and then Sister Green Willow and Elder Cat tried using this gem, and it really did allow them to freely enter and exit the Mirror World, so Elder Cat named it the Mirror Realm Gem."

Hu Li said seriously.

Hearing this, Liu Xing and the others all looked at Hu Li with surprise.

Although Liu Xing had also guessed that there was a mirror point at Panlong Lake, and that Gralki's avatar was using the Mirror World for transfer, Liu Xing never thought that Gralki's avatar was actually using a gem to enter and exit the Mirror World.
