"It hurts! I threw it. What were those things just now?"
Kamiyagawa's consciousness returned to reality and he stood up from the ground.
The moment of death in the game just happened so quickly. He hit his head on the ground and fell into a daze. Before he could react at all, he was dead.
He raised his phone and saw the big word [cai] on the screen.
Kamiyagawa:……
Okay, the previous death prompts were just yin and yang, but now it's a direct personal attack, right?
What new type of cyber violence?
Naturally, Kamiyagawa would not care so much about the prompts that popped up in the game. He bent down and first picked up the newly-spawned paper scapegoat on the ground.
I have been playing the game "Kaitan Monogatari" for several days, and I have already mastered many of its contents and functions.
For example, this scapegoat.
Not only can it replace a life in the game, it can also be used in reality after being consumed, that is - to perform an autopsy on yourself.
The surface of the paper man is wet, which corresponds to the ending of the game just now when he was dragged into the water.
However, Kamiya River probably did not drown just now.
It can be seen that there are dense bite marks distributed on the body of the paper man. These marks are restored very realistically and look like the teeth marks of wild beasts.
"That's right, I was bitten to death by those things that jumped out of the water." Kamiyagawa put the paper man away.
Then he took out the newly acquired prop [Mirage Bag].
The tan cloth bag has a faint salty smell, like the sea breeze. There is a red rope tied at the mouth of the bag. On the surface, it looks about the same size as a crossbody bag, but there is something else going on inside.
Exactly the same as in the game.
Kamiyagawa opened the [Mirage Cloth Bag], and there were only two small dried salted fish left inside.
"The salted dried fish I took out was consumed... So, those black shadows in the artificial lake in the game are some kind of weird story about people who like to eat salted dried fish?"
…
"Strange story, humanoid, aquatic, loves to eat dried salted fish."
In the evening, after Kamiyagawa returned home from his part-time job, he started searching Google using these words as keywords, trying to find out the true identity of the monster in the artificial lake.
However, it may be that the search terms were too vague, and no useful clues were found for a while.
On the other hand, it is also because in Japan there are so many types of monsters, ghosts, and ghosts. In many universities, there are even majors such as monster studies to study one aspect of folk culture.
Among the vast number of monsters and monsters, it is really difficult for non-professionals to search for one of them with just a few model words.
After searching and searching, Kamiyagawa finally wandered into the forum.
There is a forum called "Ghost Talk and Hundred Ghosts Fans Exchange". This forum has a lot of active users, tens of thousands of people, and it seems that most of them are paranormal enthusiasts.
"If you can't find it yourself, why not ask the magical netizens?"
In order to give it a try and not get pregnant, Kamiyagawa registered an account with the ID "honest foreigner" and posted a request for help on the forum.
[Honest Foreigner]: "A newbie is asking for help. Is there such a strange story that he lives in the water, looks like a human, is very fast, and has great strength. Maybe he likes to eat dried salted fish?"
After the post was sent, no one responded.
Hmm... For a newbie, it's quite normal for the post to sink.
Kamiyagawa didn't pay much attention, put down his phone and went to take a shower.
If he really couldn't figure out what those things in the artificial lake were, let him put them aside for a while. Anyway, he had no intention of exploring under the artificial lake for the time being.
He couldn't even handle the headless high school students on the shore, let alone underwater.
The monsters in the water are obviously not on the same level as the headless high school students. When the headless JK and DK are enraged, Kamiyagawa's small body can still race them for a certain distance before dying.
When I found a small dried fish by the artificial lake, I was immediately struck by a monster in the water.
The monsters in the lake are too strong and the water is too deep, so Kamiya River cannot control them.
After taking a shower and washing and drying clothes, Kamiyagawa returned to the bed and picked up his phone, and saw a message reply notification on the forum.
When he clicked on it, he saw that it was a forum level Lv6 account that replied to him.
The opponent's ID is [Purple Above].
[Murakami]: "Hello. According to your description, there is a kind of monster that roughly meets the above characteristics - Amabo."
In addition to this answer, the other party also thoughtfully posted a few pictures below.
There are screenshots of online literature, as well as several book contents taken with cameras, all about the haenyeo room——
Haenyeo room, also called Haenyeo.
Legend has it that she is the wife of the great monster Umibozu.
Ama are fish-tailed creatures that live on both land and sea. They often appear on the sixteen islands near Shimane Prefecture.
Some of the illustrations in the information make the haenyeobo look like a mermaid, while others make it look like... uh, almost like a water monkey?
Anyway, the same thing is that they are all fish-tailed humanoids with webbed hands.
The difference is that the former painted the upper body of Haenyeobo as a beautiful, naked young woman, while the latter painted the upper body of the haenyeobo as an ape covered in wet long hair.
Ama is a sea monster who likes to eat fish, especially salted fish, and often steals fishermen's catches.
According to legend, fishermen would use many large rocks to hold down the fishing nets in order to prevent the haenyeobo from succeeding. However, these heavy rocks were not able to stop the amafang at all. This monster is surprisingly strong and can always move the stones easily.
Steal the fish from the net.
"It seems we have the right number."
Kamiyagawa looked at the information given by [Murasura] and gently pressed his thumb joint with his teeth to think.
The only problem is that the data shows that Ama is a monster that lives in the ocean. But in the game world, it is encountered in the artificial lake area of the school.
"However, there are undercurrent channels at the bottom of the artificial lake in the game, which may be connected to a certain ocean area. Maybe we can open a new map through there in the future."
Kamiyagawa first expressed his gratitude to the elder [Purple Shangzhang] in the post for answering questions and clearing up doubts.
Then he clicked on the other party's avatar and opened the private chat dialog box.
[Honest Foreigner]: “Can I ask you another question?”
[Purple Shangzhang]: "Hello."
[Purple Shangzhang]: "Okay."
Because I just replied to Kamiyagawa's post, the other party is still online and replies very quickly.
He seems to be an enthusiastic old man who loves him very much.
[Honest Foreigner]: "Is there such a strange story? It looks like JK or DK wearing a student uniform and not having a head?"
This time, it took about seven or eight minutes before there was a reply in the private chat dialog box.
[Purple Shangzhang]: "You should be talking about Xiqi Doji. It is said to be a low-level spirit that was born from the negative emotions of young students. It is very weak and not very aggressive."
[Purple Shangzhang]: "It's a very unpopular story with no sense of existence. There's only so much information I can find."
"I dare you to call those headless high school students Xiqi Doji." Kamiyakawa said to himself, while paying attention to this [Purple Shangzhi] elder who was knowledgeable in ghost stories.
That's why I like surfing the Internet.
Netizens know a lot and speak nicely.
However, is it okay to say that Kaitan is weak and not very aggressive?
I, a young co-master of ghosts and gods, was pinned to the ground and slaughtered indiscriminately.
"Sure enough, I am still too weak and have no strength."
I have decided to go to the Red Ghost of the Kendo Club to learn swordsmanship tomorrow morning!
