Gamers Are Fierce

Fujimura Masumi's vision?

After listening to Li Ang's description, Wang Congshan fell into thinking.

In the secret room of Noh Noodle Master Fujimura Shuhei's home, there should be six Noh Noodles hanging, but four of them are vacant and only two are left.

Judging from the size of Fujimura Shuhei's family, he was taken away by exactly four family members.

Fujimura Shuhei's wife was taken to the Hiratsuka family's return spring well by a group of people to kill someone - these people were probably members of the Hiratsuka family, otherwise it would be impossible to explain why they could appear in the Hiratsuka mansion openly.

And the child she killed may have been one of the two Fujimura children because he wore the same mask.

Wang Congshan roughly sorted out the current clues and said slowly: Is it possible that the Hiratsuka family has been performing some kind of mysterious ritual for generations to achieve some unknown purpose.

This time, Fujimura Masumi and her son happened to be chosen, but the ritual went awry, causing a disaster.

The Hiratsuka family and the entire Enkei Village were wiped out, and Fujimura Shuhei himself was suspected of turning into a black-haired creature and stayed at the well for a long time.

It's possible, but we can't explain other problems yet.

Li Ang thought for a while and said: Judging from the clues we collected, Fujimura Shuhei is not just an ordinary noodle maker. He himself also knows the real secrets of Yuanke Village and has a special status.

That's why there is a secret room on the second floor and a secret passage in the backyard that leads to nowhere.

However, he himself eventually turned into a black-haired monster,

One of the two children of the Fujimura family probably died during the ritual, and the other turned into a lonely ghost and stayed in the shoe cabinet in the entrance hall of the Fujimura family.

The secret passage is not enabled.

There are four possibilities,

1. His special status did not prevent his family from disaster. His family was chosen by force majeure.

2. His special identity just caused disaster.

3. The disaster struck so quickly that Shuhei Fujimura, who had a vague premonition of it, had no time to escape with his family.

Wang Congshan frowned,

Asked: What about the fourth possibility?

Fourth, Fujimura Shuhei knows the consequences of all this, and the current situation in Yuanke Village is also his acquiescence or even personal promotion.

Li Ang waved his hand and did not get too entangled in the complicated possibilities, These are just guesses.

The mission objective has been updated. We are now required to break the seal of Yuan Ke Shrine, enter the interior of the shrine, and explore the shrine.

let's go.

The Hiratsuka Residence was not a good place for a vacation. The two took the human head lanterns and left the residence towards the shrine.

Wang Congshan frowned and thought along the way. After entering this script world, she always felt that something was wrong.

The information collected is too fragmentary. Now that I finally have a clue and can put all the clues together, there is always a sense of dissonance.

What role did Masashi Ogasawara play in this script mission?

Wang Congshan said as she walked: Ogasawara Ayaka and Ogasawara Teppei, two twin brothers or sisters, were born in October 2014.

Their father, Masashi Ogasawara, disappeared in 2001.

If he hadn't disappeared, he would be around forty or fifty years old now.

Pushing back, Ogasawara Masashi's birth time should be around the 1970s.

The piece of paper left behind by the folklorist records what you call the uncooked sake grinding song, and the song also successfully revived the ghost brewing worker in the abandoned house of Hiratsuka Mansion.

The folklorist claimed that he had amnesia, forgotten his original life, and suffered from constant headaches-if he was Ogasawara Shoyuki, then all this would make sense.

Ogasawara Shoji was a resident of Enkei Village. He was only about ten years old when the disaster occurred. For some reason, he survived the disaster that destroyed Enkei Village. He forgot his original name and his childhood. Most experiences.

Later, he studied folklore. For some reason, he was recalled to the Yuanke Village ruins and disappeared since then.

Ogasawara Ayaka and Ogasawara Teppei also entered the Enkei Village for the same reason and because they were looking for their missing father.

Moreover, if you think about it carefully, although Enkei Village is large, there are only three places that can be explored specifically: the Fujimura family, the Hiratsuka family, and the Ekei Shrine.

This in itself proves the special nature of the Fujimura family.

In the Fujimura family, there are clues that one of the two children is biological and the other is adopted, which also hints at something...

Li Ang immediately understood what Wang Congshan meant and said: You want to say that maybe Ogasawara Shoji is one of Yoichi and Ryosuke who escaped.

The approximate birth time of Ogasawara Shoji himself coincides with the two children of the Fujimura family.

Um.

Wang Congshan nodded and said: But there is a problem with this theory.

According to what you said, Masumi Fujimura did plunge the scissors into the child with the Noh face.

The injury was so serious that he had to seek expert consultation from more than a dozen experienced Chinese and Western doctors to save him.

The child must have indeed died, and died on the spot beside the dry well.

Judging from the various ghosts in this world, they are all relatively close to earthbound spirits. They usually stay where they were when they died and do not run around.

There were two children in the Fujimura family. One died by the well, and the other stayed in the Fujimura family's house as an earthbound spirit.

It seems that it is not easy to find a spot for Ogasawara Masayuki.

Unless the person who died by the well at that time was not a child of the Fujimura family.

But this involves another issue - if blood relations must be involved in the ritual, at that time Fujimura Shuhei specially put masks on other people's children in order to protect his own children.

So do the Hiratsuka family live on dry food? He doesn't even know how to take off his mask to check his identity.

Wang Congshan rubbed her brows and muttered to herself for a while. During the conversation, the two of them had already reached the torii gate at the entrance of Yuanke Shrine.

Li Ang stood in front of the torii, handed the human head lantern to Wang Congshan, picked up the scissors, and cut the rope tied in the middle of the torii.

Click.

The rope that was still tough and indestructible before was broken in front of these scissors.

Together with the royal coins on the rope that symbolized the sacred super double, they turned into fly ash and were annihilated in the wind.

Buzz——

Almost at the moment when the rope was destroyed, a long sound spread along the earth,

The ground beneath their feet began to shake slightly, and dozens of long cracks appeared on the road behind them that ran through the entire Yuanke Village and covered the hillside.

The roar that spread throughout the village slowly subsided after a few breaths.

Is this...an earthquake?

Li Ang frowned and glanced at the cracks on the road behind him. The monkey club he carried had the effect of passively calming down natural disasters.

Under the suppression of special effects, geological disasters can still occur in Yuanke Village...

What happened in this area?

Confused by doubts, the two soon noticed that after the earthquake, the demon-turned-ghost villagers who were originally staying below Yuanke Village also began to become restless.

Or squatting on the spot and wailing,

Or banging your head against the wall or the floor,

Or they become restless, attack each other, and fight each other.

Some even directly broke through the previously vague restrictions and headed up the hillside along the road.

Walk.

Li Ang made a prompt decision, picked up the scissors, crossed the torii gate with Wang Congshan, stepped on the steps, and went straight to the shrine.

Enkei Shrine is composed of several buildings, built on the mountainside, covering a vast area, with black tiles and red walls. Common facilities such as lanterns, Ema hangings (that is, wooden boards hung in front of the shrine to make wishes), and string ropes can be seen everywhere. .

The most important main hall has three floors, upper and lower.

The door opened, revealing the dark lobby on the first floor.

Before he stepped through the door, Li Ang smelled a strong smell of decay.

I saw many dead bones piled up in the corners of the spacious hall.

These dead bones hugged each other, there were men and women, old and young,

Although the clothes he was wearing were covered in dust, he could still tell that they were either gorgeous or cheap kimonos, as well as ordinary clothes.

Noh masks and liquor bottles were scattered around the feet of some of the dead bones.

The shape of the wine bottle is consistent with the homecoming wine that Li Ang got from the abandoned ministry house.

These people are of different genders and ages, and there are also mothers with children in their arms.

Wang Congshan covered her mouth and nose slightly and said in a deep voice: All of them have intact bones and no obvious injuries such as being slashed with swords. They did not die from war or fighting with weapons.

If he didn't die in the struggle, why would he die trapped here?

Did the group eat poisonous mushrooms and hallucinate?

Did everyone drink fake wine?

Or...were they abandoned here?

Unlike the Hiratsuka Residence or the Fujimura Family, the Ekei Shrine is silent, and there is no scent of ghosts to be found.

The two players carefully searched the entire shrine and pieced together some clues through the ema hangings at the entrance of the shrine.

The reputation of Enkei Shrine is quite good, perhaps because of the promotion of related myths and stories. Every year, people from all over the island come to pay homage to the so-called God of Karma, pray for blessings, or ask about marriage, future, etc.

Especially during the Enkoku Village Festival every four years, more tourists will come to the shrine.

The last Ema message was in July of Showa 54, which happened to be the time when a disaster broke out in Enkei Village, and landmark buildings and villagers disappeared collectively.

No wonder among the victims at the shrine, in addition to members of the Hiratsuka family and villagers of Enkei Village, there were also people from other places and even foreigners.

Li Ang groaned and looked at the notice board in front of the shrine.

Due to the need to receive tourists from all walks of life, the notice boards are not only in Japanese, but also in English and other foreign languages, which list the precautions for visiting Enkei Shrine.

For example, you are not allowed to bring a camera, you are not allowed to take pictures of the interior of the shrine, you are not allowed to bring tobacco or alcohol without permission, you have to keep quiet, you are not allowed to make loud noises, etc.

In addition, there are some details,

For example, every four years, the shrine holds an engraving celebration, during which free food and drinks are provided, and Noh theater performances and other activities are held in the main hall of the shrine.

If visitors want to watch a Noh performance, they must abide by the rules, wear a kimono, wear a Noh mask, drink a drink called Guisen sake, and remain quiet throughout the process.

Guiquan wine...is it brewed with Guiquan well water?

Li Ang groaned, and now he was sure that the Guiquan Well was the center of all the stories in this script mission.

Everything stems from this.

The system's task of allowing us to explore the shrine and find hidden secrets has not yet been completed.

He glanced at the dead bones in the corner of the main hall, took a deep breath, took out the bottle of Guiquan wine from the bag on his back, and said to Wang Congshan: If something happens to me later, remember to induce vomiting for me.

ah?

Wang Congshan was stunned for a moment and then reacted immediately, You want to drink this bottle of wine?

Um.

Li Ang nodded indifferently, These clues have been very clear, including the Nohmen of the Fujimura family, the kimonos worn by the dead bones scattered in the main hall, and the last bottle of Guizhen sake obtained from the abandoned house of the Hiratsuka family.

All factors have been gathered,

Since the big face at the door of the knotting room can become a Buddha and disappear after drinking Guiquan wine,

Then people should have some special reaction after drinking it.

...

Wang Congshan lowered her head and thought for a moment, then placed the human head lantern on the ground, took the Guiquan wine from Li Ang's hand, and said with a calm expression, I'll drink it.

Li Ang frowned, Now is not the time to be angry...

It's not a matter of anger,

It’s about rational judgment, logical reasoning, and weighing the pros and cons—just like you.

Wang Congshan's eyes sparkled, If Guiquan wine really has a strong effect on confusing people's minds,

Then after I drink it, you can use enchantment spiritual energy to wake me up.

Or use self-shaping psychic powers to relieve my injuries.

And if you drink it and fall into hallucinations,

But I don't have any means to rescue or help you.

From a purely rational perspective, I am a more suitable drinker than you.

Secondly,

This script task limits personal strength. The prop I chose is the Cardinal Rubik's Cube, and the power system is the Planeswalker.

I haven't fully understood the power of planeswalkers in the real world. Even if I don't limit my personal strength, the power I can exert is limited.

In other words, I was holding back.

I saw Wang Congshan flipping her palm and taking out the Cardinal Rubik's Cube.

She took a deep breath, controlled the Rubik's Cube and swallowed the pistol on her body.

Then let the Rubik's Cube spit out assault rifles, grenades, flash bombs, shock bombs, and enchanted bullet magazines stored in the warehouse.

Taking out these items again consumed a lot of Wang Congshan's spiritual energy.

Her face turned slightly pale, she put away the Cardinal Rubik's Cube, handed the assault rifle and other weapons and equipment to Li Ang, and said in a calm voice: If you are holding back, you must have the awareness to hold back.

To be protected, one must have the consciousness of being protected.

All this equipment, including the body armor I am wearing, is given to you - from a probability perspective, this is the best choice to ensure that we survive the level together.

...

Li Ang looked into her eyes, and saw the iron-firm will from the depths of her eyes, and a complex emotion rose in his heart for no reason.

Sadness, joy, and half melancholy.

good.

The two of them had been together for too long, and there was no need to say so much. Li Ang took over the weapons and equipment and took a half step back with the human head lantern.

Wang Congshan took a deep breath slightly nervously, clasped her palms towards the pile of bones in the corner, said apologise, then took off her kimono from the withered bones of a woman and put it on herself.

After making these preparations, she stood in the center of the hall, pried open the cork of the Guiquan wine bottle,

Smelling the aroma of wine coming up from the bottle, I closed my eyes and took a sip.

Tons tons tons tons tons.

After drinking half the bottle of wine, Wang Congshan didn't even taste the taste carefully.

She wiped the corners of her mouth and put on the Noh mask with Matsuoka's name written on it that she got from Fujimura's house.

one second,

Two seconds.

Nothing happened.

Just as Wang Congshan was looking around, wondering why nothing had changed,

His own heartbeat, as dull as a drum, suddenly sounded in his ears, and Li Ang in front of him also distorted and dissipated along with the scene in the main hall.

The flow of consciousness was inexplicably delayed for a moment,

Wang Congshan blinked her eyes, shook her head, and found that she was still standing in the main hall, and there was no figure of Li Ang next to her.

The door of the shrine is open, the light outside is dim and bright, and the light of fireworks flashes from time to time on the horizon, and the sound of fireworks is heard.

Inside the shrine, it is brightly lit and clean and dust-free.

There were many people standing around wearing Noh masks, wearing kimonos, and even bringing their families with them.

They were whispering to each other, waiting for something.

Wang Congshan glanced around. She was wearing a dusty and dirty kimono, but no one expressed any surprise to her.

The sunset light outside shone on her body, leaving no shadow on the ground.

Wang Congshan was thoughtful. She did not exist in a physical form.

The Enkei Shrine is still here,

It's just that it was the Enkei Shrine that existed decades ago on the day of the disaster.

She glanced around, and the chatter of the people visiting the shrine slowly died down, replaced by a piece of noisy drum music.

From the corridors on both sides of the main hall of the shrine, two groups of dancers and musicians wearing noh masks and kimonos with dignified manners slowly walked out and walked into the center of the main hall.

The fateful celebration has finally begun.
