The dog carried Eri Yoneyama on his back and walked as slowly and quickly as possible.
As the master, Kamiya held a letter and followed it.
The black mountain rock path that Yoneyama Eri took to enter Aokigahara was not the one Kamiya entered in the afternoon.
However, because the shadow of the little old man was left outside in advance as a warning, it was easy for Kamiya and his party to leave the sea of trees through another road.
After walking for about half an hour, Kamiyakawa successfully escaped from the sea of trees and found the hearse group that had been waiting for them.
The sun was setting outside and it was almost dusk.
"Boss, what is this?" Dashi and Gaoshan, who had the same consciousness as a living person, reacted quickly and quickly surrounded him.
"The person who ventured into the Sea of Trees, I happened to rescue from a C-level ghost story. Send her to the nearest hospital first."
"Okay, boss."
The members of the hearse group carried Eri Yoneyama to the back row of the ghost Mazda with great difficulty.
After rescuing a person from Aokigahara, Kamiya made a phone call and contacted the people in the Special Operations Countermeasures Room as soon as he walked out of the sea of trees.
After all, the situation is related to ghost stories, and the bodies of the rescued companions are still left inside the sea of trees.
It would be better to leave it to the official people for follow-up processing.
As for the person to contact, it was not Yuuki Makiyu.
Although Uncle Yuuki always seems to be carefree, he is a boss-level figure within the organization, so he cannot always be troubled by such things.
The person Kamiyagawa contacted was Kanazawa Seira, a direct disciple of the Jodo Shinshu Minami Honganji Temple.
After the last two-girl incident, the two of them left each other's contact information.
Monk Kanazawa's activities and jurisdiction over spiritual matters are near Tokyo. Yamanashi Prefecture is not far from Tokyo. With him as a bridge to contact the official personnel in Yamanashi, a lot of trouble will be reduced.
Of course, this is mainly to save time.
When it comes to rescuing people in Aokigahara, Kamiya is not afraid of shadows.
As an exorcist, wouldn't it be as reasonable for me to appear in places where ghost stories are haunted as for a certain elementary school detective who always appears at the scene of a murder?
After sitting down safely in the Mazda, Kamiya took out his mobile phone and checked the newly received main mission.
With the help of the electronic map and the little old man, his process of entering the Aokigahara Kaishenhu in the afternoon was relatively smooth.
As usual, after opening the map and lighting up the gods, because the body in the real world was still left in the wilderness, I didn't stay in the Kaitan World any longer.
He quickly withdrew.
As for Eri Yoneyama who was hanged due to the influence of the rope hanging, she only discovered it after being reminded by the little old man on the way out after opening the picture.
[Map unlocked, Aokigahara]
[Regional mission 1: Explore more than 80% of Aokigahara. (1/100)]
[Regional mission 2: Defeat B-level monsters like Tanzanyan.]
Very decent two main quests.
The Yamabiko mentioned in the retreat mission, according to Kamiyagawa's current knowledge of ghost stories, should be a kind of existence such as a mountain spirit or a mountain god.
In Japan, there is a traditional ghost story called "Yugu Xiang".
The so-called valley sound is essentially a huge echo in the valley.
People in some places also call the valley sound Shanyan, or mountain sound.
Due to their cognitive limitations, people in the old days believed that the echo phenomenon in the valley was a response or a prank from Lord Yamabashi to people.
Coupled with the unique cultural influence of mountain worship in some areas.
The strange image of "Shan Yan", which is close to the spirit of the mountain, was born from people's word of mouth.
"So the target to be exterminated this time is probably a B-level evil fallen mountain god... Although I have fought against B-level monsters more than once, the review of those two battles is quite disappointing. Damn, Paradise Master
The one used is the medicine seller’s demon-repelling sword, and the plague god relies on the official Nuo formation.”
"If I want to defeat a B-class monster head-on. Even if the cloud camera buys me ten minutes of 'free fire' time, it will still be a lot of challenges."
Kamiya closes the mission interface.
At this time, the members of the hearse group had finished settling Eri Yoneyama, and Shunma Oishi returned to the driving position, ready to press the accelerator and rush towards the nearest hospital.
The moment the engine sounded, Kamiyagawa glanced at his phone.
On the interface of "Kaitan Monogatari", there is a 3D panoramic map presentation, as well as a marker point that lights up in the map.
Kamiyagawa:!?
"What's happening here?"
Wasn’t the sacred shrine in Aokigahara already opened just now?
Why is there still a marker displayed?
Moreover, after careful identification, Kamiya also discovered that this marked point did not seem to coincide with the location of Kamito on the Aokigahara map, but was on the other side of the foot of Mount Fuji.
"It seems to have popped up suddenly. It didn't show up like this just now. Could it be that there is a second marking point under Mount Fuji? Is there a shrine near Aokigahara that can be lit?"
…
Yamanashi Prefectural Hospital.
It took the Phantom Mazda about ten minutes to arrive here smoothly.
Kamiyagawa was somewhat unreasonably worried about "traffic safety" today. Although he sent someone to see a doctor, Oishi, who knew how to watch his actions, did not drive too fast.
Of course, the "not too fast" of a hearse is a relative term. Compared with ordinary cars, it is still very fast.
When they arrived at the hospital, Kamiyagawa cooperated with the doctor and sent Eri Yoneyama to the emergency room.
After that, several Yamanashi Prefecture spiritual masters contacted by the monk Kanazawa arrived late.
Because Kamiya's performance in the last two major operations has been extremely outstanding, and now he has become famous within the organization, these unknown spiritual masters are quite polite to him.
They also said that it was already too late and they would organize manpower to search for the body of another male victim in Aokigahara early tomorrow morning.
Aokigahara at night may still be quite dangerous for an average spirit exterminator.
There is nothing wrong with this arrangement.
After handing over the affairs of the hospital to several official members, Kamiyagawa got back into the hearse in a quiet place and returned to Aokigahara.
He dared to go to places where ordinary spiritual masters would not dare to approach at night.
A man of great skill is bold.
…
Back near Aokigahara, the sky had completely darkened.
Through the window of the Mazda, I could see some unknown birds circling in groups in the gloomy sky, screaming and falling somewhere in the sea of trees without a trace.
Oishi drove the vehicle for a few more minutes before he was finally stopped by Kamiyagawa.
The parking spot at night is far away from that in the afternoon.
"Boss, what do you want?"
"Wait for me here."
Kamiya did not answer the questions of the younger brothers, but just made the same arrangements as in the afternoon, leaving the shadow of the little old man with the hearse group. Recently, he took the little old man and returned to the sea of trees with his mobile phone.
"I want to see what kind of trouble this second unknown marker point under Mount Fuji is."
The sea of trees at night is completely different from that during the day.
This place, known as the "Suicide Forest", is very crowded during the day due to the lack of light penetration and the fact that there are many horror stories circulating.
At night, the shadows of the trees all around were twisted and full of ghosts. When the wind blew, the branches and leaves swayed, mixed with some unspeakable strange rustling noises, and the atmosphere was full of terror.
It's no wonder that ordinary spiritual masters don't dare to come here at night.
The little old man was leading the way. Kamiyagawa turned on the flashlight on his mobile phone and released the evil-eating dog god, using its hot red light to increase the brightness of the surroundings.
After trekking in Aokigahara for more than ten minutes, I finally found the second marking point.
"The second point is not as deep into the sea of trees as the first point. It seems that this is just the periphery of Aokigahara."
Kamiyakawa looked at the surrounding environment, and then called out Prajna.
He asked Hannya, Inugami, and the little old man to stay in reality, while he sat down on the ground beside the second marked point and clicked the [Start Game] button on his mobile phone.
All of a sudden, gray, white, and black patches of color overlapped continuously in the field of vision, and the black ones became darker and the white ones became whiter.
After the chaotic color blocks blended into each other and the surrounding scene stabilized, Kamiyagawa once again entered the world of ghost stories.
Looking around, Kamiya found that the area of the inner world he was currently in was very different from the real world outside.
The scene outside is nothing more than mountains and trees with lush branches and leaves, blocking out the sky and the sun, nothing special.
But once inside.
The sight line in this small area is much wider. There is a forest road that does not exist in the world, dividing the layers of tree shadows.
There are railroad tracks on this forest road.
Kamiyakawa raised his head and looked forward. There was a tram stop standing there about ten meters away from him.
The style of the platform is very ordinary.
It's almost the same as a small, remote station in the real world.
Next to the railway track, there is a platform made of cement and tens of meters square, with an awning covering the upper part.
There are two benches on the platform for passengers to rest while waiting, and a vending machine.
They all look ordinary.
On the platform shed, an older metal sign hangs, with the name of this station written on it - Kisaragi Station.
After seeing the name of the station clearly, Kamiyagawa immediately understood what this place was.
Kisaragi Station.
One of Japan's famous urban ghost stories.
Ruyue Station is also called Ghost Station and Alien Station.
According to legend, it is a station that does not exist, or a station that leads to another world.
This urban ghost story was first circulated on the forum twenty years ago, when the Internet was just emerging -
It is said that it was a girl named Hasumi who took the last train at 11 o'clock in the evening.
After nearly 20 minutes of driving, she began to feel confused. The bus she took usually stopped in seven or eight minutes, but today it took a long time to stop.
Hasumi casually posted her situation on an online forum.
Then some netizens suggested going to her commander’s room to ask.
Hasumi did as he was told, but could not find the commander.
Then, the train passed through an unfamiliar tunnel and stopped at Kisaragi Station at 12 o'clock in the morning.
There was no one in the station, and it was also empty outside after leaving the station. I couldn't find the location even if I searched on my mobile phone.
She began to ask her family for help, hoping to call the police, but the police regarded her as a prank call because there was no such thing as Kisaragi Station.
As the time got later and later, Hasumi continued to chat with netizens on the forum. She left a message at 2 a.m. saying that the sound of bells and taiko drums came from nearby, and she also saw an uncle with one leg.
Several netizens who were following the forum news in real time felt something was wrong, so they asked Hasumi to quickly follow the tunnel and leave the area around the station.
After Lianshi walked out of the tunnel, he met someone else, and the other person kindly offered to give him a ride for free.
Ignoring netizens' attempts to stop her, Hasumi got into a stranger's car and left her last post at 3:44 in the morning. She said: "The driver drove the car up the mountain and remained silent. I planned to take the opportunity to escape."
But since then, Hasumi has never posted on the forum.
Evaporated.
As the story spread widely on the Internet, some people later posted information about Kisaragi Station, claiming that they had arrived at the non-existent station.
"It is said that the 'non-existent station' can take people to another world. To be honest, according to the tone of this story, the so-called other world should refer to the ghost story world I am in now."
Kamiyagawa pulled out Ichimonji and looked at Kisaragi Station again with a complicated expression.
He walked forward slowly, and could see a sacred wooden sign standing quietly on the edge of the platform.
Lightly touch the second shrine in the Aokigahara area.
Those yellow-green light spots were disturbed like fireflies on a summer night and scattered in all directions.
Mobile phone vibration.
[The map has been unlocked, Kisaragi Station.]
[Optional mission: Free the strangers trapped in Kisaragi Station.]
[Note: The optional tasks are not mandatory to complete, and if you give up, it will not affect the opening of the next map.]
[Note: Strangers who are trapped in the world of ghost stories for various reasons are all in an unstable state of existence. Do not treat them the same way you would treat living people.]
"There is no exploration, no retreat. There is only one optional mission." Kamiyagawa read the information displayed on the mobile phone, and at the same time took back the hand on the sacred tree.
The last time he encountered this kind of mission was at Nara Dreamland.
That optional mission allows Kamiya to become the new owner of the park.
"The strangers trapped here... In other words, Kisaragi Station can really bring living people from the real world into the world of ghost stories."
"Also, the strangers trapped in the world of ghost stories are all in an unstable state of existence...Don't treat them the same way you treat living people..."
Kamiya began to seriously think about the meaning of this task, but always felt that the second reminder was somewhat unclear for the time being.
Moreover, in a sense, he himself is also a stranger who can enter the world of ghost stories.
"I feel like my existence in the world of ghost stories is quite stable."
"However, I rely on the complex system of gods and paper scapegoats to move around in the other world, and I may be fundamentally different from other people who are directly trapped in the other world. Compared with them, I am probably an extremely special person.
