Gamers Are Fierce

With the Japanese island background and folklore, I can already predict the style of this script assignment...

Wang Congshan rubbed her eyebrows and said distressedly: But Ogasawara Shozai may not be his father, right?

It could also be an elder such as Tetsuya and Ayaka's uncle, uncle or grandfather - at least someone they are quite close to and respect.

By the way, what is the content of the other newspaper?

Let me see.

Li Ang looked at the second newspaper clipping,

The title of the newspaper clipping is about a sudden geological disaster in a mountain village in Gangson County.

[An earthquake of 7.0 on the Richter scale occurred in Yuanke Village, located in the east of Gangson County. The earthquake and six consecutive days of heavy rainfall triggered a mudslide in the adjacent Yuanshan Mountain, destroying local surface buildings and killing all the villagers. Missing】

The fading and aging of this newspaper are even more serious. There are a lot of lint formed by softening the paper in the corners, and the layout style of the newspaper text is also older.

The date is July, Showa 54,

Wang Congshan did a mental calculation and said: That should be the late 1970s in the real world, which is exactly 40 years since 2019 and thirty years since Ogasawara Masashi disappeared.

An earthquake measuring 7 on the Richter scale that can combine with a mudslide to destroy an entire village...

Could it be the one we just felt?

possible.

Li Ang carefully checked the clipping itself and found no interlayer or hidden text.

The backs of the two newspaper clippings contained incomplete reports. One was about the death of a Japanese comedian and movie actor, and the other was about the nuclear power plant accident in the United States. They should have nothing to do with the current situation.

Li Ang thought for a moment and took out the tear-off notepad he kept in his coat pocket.

Many of the papers in the note pad have been torn off, and there are some pictures drawn on the remaining papers.

They are warriors wearing armor, holding tachi, and wearing prajna masks;

a stone well beneath a twisted dead tree;

A torii gate set up halfway up the mountain;

besides,

There are also several drawings where the lines are so sloppy that it is difficult to identify the specific objects depicted.

Samurai, Ishii, Torii.

Wang Congshan carefully observed these three pictures and frowned: This should be the potential hint given to us by the system. I just don't know what they mean.

Um.

Li Ang nodded. At present, the clues can only be collected here.

He looked around. After the earthquake subsided, the nearby forest fell into silence again.

A layer of mist filled the surface again, and no insects or birds could be heard in the night. It was eerily quiet.

Li Ang looked around and said, You can only choose one prop and one skill for this script mission. Have you made your choice?

The choice has been made.

Wang Congshan said: Anyway, I only have the ability of Planeswalker and the Cardinal Cube.

I chose these two.

However, due to restrictions on attribute enhancement, the upper limit of my spiritual power was also lowered to less than 500 points.

You can't take out all the equipment in the Cardinal Cube, you can only take out one or two pieces.

After that, she tested it and found that none of the electronic devices in the Rubik's Cube, such as drones, night vision devices and even flashlights, could be used.

Currently, the only things that can be mobilized at a relatively low cost are a semi-automatic pistol and a body armor.

The assault rifle with enchanted bullets that was assimilated by the Cardinal Cube may be of higher quality, so a single rifle will occupy the entire share of spiritual power.

Li Ang said: You should equip your body armor and pistol first. The ability of the planeswalker is of little use here.

Wang Congshan nodded, What about you?

I chose this stick for my equipment,

Li Ang waved the [Heart Monkey] on his hand, As for the skills, they are psychic abilities.

There are six schools of psychic powers, each with their own specializations, and the root of psychic powers is psychic power, which is less constrained by spiritual power values.

Although due to current attribute restrictions, high-level abilities cannot be used,

But zero-level and first-level abilities are enough to cover many special situations.

The ability to deal with supernatural phenomena is also better than that of the swamp divine power system, which has also been seriously weakened.

The mission goal of the first stage is for us to go to Enkei Village, which was supposedly destroyed by the earthquake in Showa 54.

Li Ang looked at the road ahead and said: There is no mission time limit, so the approximate distance cannot be inferred from the time limit.

Well... let's first take a look around to see if there are any shortcuts other than this muddy path.

The two of them explored the surroundings and discovered that fifty meters behind, there was a weather-beaten and almost decaying wooden sign indicating that Yuanke Village was ahead.

Behind the wooden signpost, there is a deep rift that may have been caused by an earthquake.

The abyss below the rift valley is unfathomable, and the valley is filled with thick fog. If you drop a stone, you will hear a faint sound every ten seconds.

The road at the other end of the rift valley was also filled with thick fog.

In horror games, this is the border of the map that is not allowed to pass.

Li Ang looked over the rift valley, tore a piece of vine from the nearby tree, tied one end of the vine to a stone, and wrapped the other end around the Heart Ape stick.

Inject spiritual power into the mind ape, slightly increasing the length of the stick.

Like throwing a fishing line, throw out the vines tied to the stones,

A little test of the depth and width of the abyss.

The conclusion he reached is that even if he pours all his current spiritual power into the mental monkey stick,

The length of the heart ape is not enough either.

There is no way to pole vault to the other side of the chasm.

Well, this is definitely designed to block the back road.

Li Ang sighed and let go of the vine.

Wang Congshan looked at the fog-filled rift valley. If she fell, she would definitely be shattered to pieces. Then we can only follow the directions of the sign and keep walking along the path.

The two returned to the narrow path and walked forward under the moonlight. They saw a stone Tibetan statue placed in a stone niche on the roadside.

Rishima has always had a tradition of worshiping Jizo, and stone statues of Jizo can be seen everywhere on the roadside.

However, the Jizo stone statues in Hijima are the product of the fusion of Hijima Shinto beliefs and Tang Buddhism.

It may be Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva in the traditional sense,

It may also be the incarnation form of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva - Dao Zushen (どうそじん), the island's version of the land god, land god, and road god. He is responsible for protecting the village, preventing plague gods and evil spirits, and protecting children and pedestrians.

Dao Zu Shen is a broad priesthood and does not just refer to a certain god.

Therefore, the shapes and forms of the stone statues of Daozu are not uniform, and there are even mother and child Jizo holding their children.

The stone statue in front of Li Ang and Wang Congshan had its legs crossed, its expression was gentle, and it was chanting sutras with its eyes closed.

On the low stone platform in front of the niche, there are two short white candles placed on the left and right sides.

“There are obvious traces of cleaning on the surface of the stone platform. There is much less moss on the platform than on the bottom, but we don’t know the specific time of cleaning.

The two candles must have been half-burned out before. The wax oil dripped along the candle itself, sticking it to the platform, so it was not blown over by the wind and rain.

Well...now that we have Daozushen, the village should be right ahead.

Li Ang used his spiritual power to check the Buddhist niche and found nothing unusual.

Since the candle was relatively slender, he did not take it away and use it as a light source - the moonlight was relatively bright at the moment, and there was also [Elf Vision] in the list of psychic abilities, which allowed him to see things in the dark.

There's light over there.

Wang Congshan lowered her voice and said something. Li Ang turned around and found that through the shadow of the trees, he could vaguely see the flickering light spots not far ahead.

Those are the village lights.
