Gamers Are Fierce

The face in the rope-tying room is nearly one and a half meters in diameter and is blurred on the door.

The muscles on his face are swollen and wrinkled, his facial features are swollen, and his eyes are closed, looking like a ball of over-expanded dough.

Face is indifferent to breaking the rope trap in the Rope Corridor,

Li Ang and Wang Congshan walked to the door, observed it, and found that although the sliding door of the knotting room was made of paper and wood, the camphor paper on the door could not be destroyed by the force of the human face.

And the face itself,

It is not affected by psychic powers or even gunshots - any injuries on a person's face will heal quickly, and they will not be allowed to open the door to the rope-knotting room.

Just when Li Ang was about to use the theory of Ma Yinglong cures dark circles to sell the face again, the latter woke up on his own, muttering and repeating the words I really want to drink Guiquan wine.

Apart from this, no matter how Li Ang negotiated, Human Face remained indifferent.

Li Ang and Wang Congshan discussed for a while, and the current situation obviously required them to implement the next step of customs clearance.

They had never seen alcohol there since they entered the world of the script, and there were only two relevant clues.

First, in the folklorist's notes I picked up earlier, it was mentioned that the Hiratsuka family would prepare sake for the Enkeki celebration.

Second, on the map of Hiratsuka Residence, there is a mark on the brewing department house.

As the name suggests, Guiquan wine should be made from Guiquan well water.

However, Guiquan Well is guarded by a black-haired creature and cannot be entered, and the light well water cannot satisfy the concept of wine.

After thinking about it, I am afraid that the brewing department room is the most likely to contain clues to Guiquan Liquor.

So, the two took the human head lantern, left the Rope Corridor, and followed the map to the brewing department house.

During this period, the two also discovered that there were other ghosts deep in the Hiratsuka mansion.

Most of these ghosts are wandering in one place, some are wearing kimonos, and some are wearing older and shabby clothes.

The appearance ranges from almost humanoid to completely inhuman.

But these ghosts seem to be relatively...slow.

As long as Li Ang and Wang Congshan do not step into the area where they are wandering, they will not pursue and attack.

When the two of them were searching in front of the atrium of Hiratsuka Residence, they had never seen so many ghosts. They thought it was probably because they were wandering around and were killed by the black-haired creature.

The two of them avoided the ghosts scattered in various rooms and went straight to the front of the brewing department house.

The door to the brewing room was open, and it was dark inside. A dozen figures could be vaguely seen, and the sound of knocking on wood and humming could be heard constantly.

Li Ang and Wang Congshan walked into the brewing department room and used the light to see clearly the specific faces of the figures inside.

It was a hybrid of a leech and a human, retaining the outline of human limbs, with translucent green skin, wearing a relatively new kimono, and a black and white turban on its head.

These things are working in various facilities in the brewing department. From Li Ang's perspective, he can see that they are grinding rice, cleaning bran, sowing koji and other routine steps for brewing.

The half-leeches in front of me seem to be former workers of the brewing department.

They were transformed into what they are now, and they are still repeating the work process according to their memories during their lifetime.

It's just that as time goes by, the raw materials in the various instruments in the brewing department have long since rotted**, and they are actually working against empty barrels.

Why are there still children here?

Wang Congshan frowned slightly and looked at the four or five half-leeches running in the brewing department room - these half-leeches were short in stature, wearing kimonos, jumping around, and occasionally making a grunting sound like humming.

Appears to behave like a normal human child.

Enkei Village has a tradition of making its own sake for the Enkei celebration during the festival. These children should be members of the Hiratsuka family or ordinary villagers of Enkei Village. They happened to be in the brewing department house on the day of the disaster.

All the half-leech lifeforms in the room ignored the two players. Li Ang searched the brewing department room and shook his head regretfully, The raw materials for brewing are all rotten, and there is no ready-made sake.

But there are a lot of empty wine bottles on the ground...

Wait, what do you want to do?

Wang Congshan looked at the empty wine bottle in Li Ang's hand, and her heart skipped a beat, You don't want to urinate into the bottle and then go back to resurrect the face at the door of the rope-tying room, do you?

How can it be.

Li Ang frowned and said, Do you think I am such a crazy, unscrupulous person who will do anything to satisfy his bad taste?

I'm so disappointed, Ah Shan.

When you say this, can you stop studying the zipper?

Wang Congshan rolled her eyes, and suddenly she seemed to notice something. Her eyes rested on the half-leech children who were jumping around and humming songs.

This melody...

Wang Congshan frowned and thought for a while, then her eyes suddenly lit up. She took out the folklorist's note from the schoolbag on Li Ang's back and looked at the few musical symbols written down on the edge of the note that looked like ghostly drawings.

really.

Wang Congshan exhaled and turned the paper over to give Li Ang a look. The songs hummed by these dead wine workers are consistent with part of the musical notes recorded on the notes written by the folklorists.

Hmm... Exactly the same.

Li Ang carefully identified it. He only knew a little about music theory, but was not very familiar with it - playing musical instruments costs money.

The folklorist who left clues—probably Masayuki Ogasawara—said that this melody may be related to his life experience before he lost his memory.

Wang Congshan took a deep breath and said: It proves that Ogasawara Masaki has probably been here before and remembered this melody.

He himself may have been a villager in Yuanke Village.

Considering his approximate age, he should have been just a child when the disaster occurred in Yuanke Village. For some reason, he survived the disaster, but he also lost his memory.

The myth of Enzan, the Enkoku celebration, the disaster of the Hiratsuka family, the blocked shrine, the crazy noodle master wandering next to the Guizhen Well...

Guiquan wine may be at the center of it all.

She looked down at the musical notes on the paper and hummed a melody according to the musical notes.

The melody itself is not pleasant, and is far from a pop song. Instead, it sounds like a folk song or a worker's chant.

The moment she started humming, the brewing workers in the brewing department who were working in vain on the abandoned equipment all stopped what they were doing and looked at her.

However, the musical note only lasted a short period. After humming, the half-leech brewing worker returned to work, ignoring the two players.

It's no use?

Wang Congshan asked distressedly: Is it because there are no lyrics?
