I loaded the ghost talk game

Mount Fuji in the other world also has climbing passages.

However, different from the real world, in the impression of Kamiyagawa, there are several climbing routes in the outside world of Mount Fuji.

Among them, the facilities are the most complete, and the most suitable for beginners to walk is the Yoshida Line.

If you take the Yoshida Line, you can walk to the top of the mountain for about five hours on foot.

However, Mount Fuji in the other world does not have so many passages. With the help of the little old man, he finally found only one mountain passage.

This mountain path is not spacious and is completely paved with black volcanic rock that has been broken into grains.

Separated from the dense green vegetation at the foot of the mountain, the road is winding and rugged, with a steep slope and no end in sight.

In short, this mountain road does not look particularly easy to climb.

But better than no road.

"Inujiro."

Kamiyagawa summoned his own big dog, skillfully climbed onto its back, and pulled the bristles on the back of its neck.

Then greet the little old man.

"Let's go."

"drive!"

...

This only mountain road is a bit like the approach to Mount Fuji for practice or pilgrims to climb in ancient times.

It's really not that easy to go.

If you take this road, you will definitely not be able to reach the top of the mountain in five hours.

At the foot of Mount Fuji, Kamiyagawa can still encounter small monsters in the sea of ​​trees, but the higher you climb, the less chance you will encounter wild monsters.

After climbing the mountain for more than 3 hours, I could not meet a monster, and there was no vegetation around, only bare black rock and mud.

Going up along the approach, you can vaguely see several white torii gates spaced far above, straddling the mountain path.

Black Rock Road, White Torii.

The superposition of two monotonous colors, black and white, combined with the atmosphere of the other world, gives people a feeling of desolation.

Kamiyagawa patted Inugami on the head, motioning for it to stop, and narrowed its eyes slightly to look down.

I can only see a piece of dark green layered in the sea of ​​trees in the lower place, rolling in the howling mountain wind, looking at Lin Tao who can't see the end.

High and steep mountain passes.

Kamiyagawa straddled Inujiro's back, holding the unsheathed monogram with one hand, and pulled the beautiful but somewhat thin black pattern haori on his body.

The cold wind from the heights pierced directly into his sleeves, ruffling his gorgeous black hem, and blowing Inujiro's long hair into the air.

As the altitude of the location increases, the air temperature and air pressure both decrease.

In such an unscientific place in the other world, it is inexplicably scientific in such an insignificant aspect.

"It's getting cold."

"Wow -"

Inujiro understood, his sturdy body began to shine red and warm, sparks flickered.

And it also properly controlled the temperature of the karmic fire.

Provide just enough heat without burning the owner's noble ass.

"Thanks, much better."

Kamiyagawa reached out and patted Inujiro's head covered with hard skulls again.

The latter flicked his tail vigorously in response.

My dog ​​is really versatile.

When necessary, it can even act as a large warm baby.

...

Pilgrim routes and crater shrines are carved alongside scattered ruins that can be seen along the way.

These include Shrines of San Jinga, stone houses, and natural volcanic features such as lava statues, lakes, springs, and waterfalls, which are revered.

This is what one person and one dog saw when they climbed Mount Fuji in the world alone, except for the monotonous black rock and soil and the white torii that appeared from time to time.

Another three hours or so passed.

Kamiyagawa finally reached the top of snow-capped Mount Fuji.

In the real world, I started climbing the mountain at 7:00 am, and now it is 1:00 pm when I reach the top.

This is achieved on the premise that Inujiro's feet are fast enough.

God knows how long it will take if the climb is done solely by human power.

"I never expected that so far, the most painful thing on this map of Aokigahara is actually rushing. There are only two gods on such a big map, who is trying to exhaust someone!"

Because they rode up on Inujiro the whole way, Kamiyagawa is in good condition now.

It's nothing more than a pain in the buttocks along the way.

As for the problem of hypoxia at high altitude, because he has the Ah Moo breathing method to regulate, it does not pose any threat at all.

As for Inujiro, his physical strength and endurance are far better than what Kamiyagawa imagined.

After climbing the mountain path for six hours, I only stopped and stuck out my tongue for a little rest twice.

"Thanks for your hard work."

"Wow."

Kamiyagawa jumped off the dog's back, stepped on the thick white snow on the top of the mountain, and could hear the rustling of the snow.

He is now not too far from the main crater of Mount Fuji, the vertical distance is only a few hundred meters, and he can see it when he looks up.

On the crater wall, the volcanic deposits are impacted into slopes, and the silt-red deposits blend with the white snow.

"Standing closer to see the main crater is really big."

Kamiyagawa sighed slightly.

Compared with such a mountain, the image of human beings is indeed too small.

It is no wonder that mountains were often worshiped as gods in ancient Japan, which gave birth to various mountain cultures and stories about mountain spirits and mountain gods.

According to what Shanba said before, the source of the degeneration of the sea of ​​trees is at the crater.

Standing at the current position of Kamiyagawa, there is indeed a depraved and filthy aura coming from above.

It's exactly the same as the feeling of Pig King at the beginning.

Jingle bells—jingle bells—

[Mirage Cloth Bag] Inside, the golden ball bell that Zashiki Doji lives in shakes vigorously, making a loud and crisp sound.

Xiao Fushen once again triggered the ability to seek good luck and avoid bad luck, and was giving an early warning to the old father.

Considering that this place is likely to be Hiroko Hiroshi's hiding place, there might be black maggots there, and the danger is certain.

Even if Zashiki didn't ring the bell, Kamiyagawa didn't plan to rush up to investigate directly.

"The distance seems to be almost the same."

Kabuki Chuan took out the [Kabuki Puppet], repeated the old trick, and made a puppet in the shape of Kageshiro.

First go up to the puppet to find out the reality, and see what is under the mountain pass before talking.

Kamiya sat down on the spot, paying attention to manipulating Kuangshilang.

Inujiro, who had been closely following him, crouched close to him, keeping him warm with the temperature provided by the karma fire.

The wind at the top of Mt. Fuji is very strong, and from time to time it will bring up the snow dust on the ground.

The gorgeously dressed Kageshiro climbed towards the main crater with both hands and feet, his movements a little stiff.

But looking at the back of the puppet climbing from below, it looks like a devout pilgrim.

The bright red exaggerated kabuki costumes are blown by the wind and danced in a cloud of flying snow, like a ball of shining flames constantly jumping in the snow.

There are no real paths to walk on the outer walls of the crater.

It took more than 40 minutes for Kamiyagawa to climb up the main crater after several times of slipping and falling.

He looked around with the vision provided by the puppet.

On the rim of the crater, there are wells and springs formed by snowmelt and shallow subsurface permafrost.

Inside the large bowl-shaped crater, there is only white snow and moss.

"I can feel that the same filthy and depraved aura as on the Pig King is stronger here, but if you just look at it with the naked eye, it seems that there is nothing there."

Kamiyagawa hesitated for a while, trying to control Kushiro to climb towards the inside of the crater.

Although Mount Fuji is an active volcano, when it is dormant, the crater is covered by solid rock.

The weight of a puppet goes into it and nothing happens.

However, considering that this is the other world, it is very likely that Yan Yanyan is here, so it should be quite dangerous to go directly, and I don't know what will happen.

But it doesn't matter anymore.

Kabuki puppets are originally used to beat thunder. If it is really scrapped, it is scrapped. Anyway, after 24 hours, you can squeeze a new one out again.

Hush——

Kuangshilang carefully climbed down a third of the height along the rock wall, when he stepped on moss and slipped under his feet, bringing down a piece of bruised rock soil.

After Kamiyagawa managed to control him to stabilize his figure, he suddenly felt the wall of the crater loosen under the puppet.

A fat black tentacle suddenly drilled out from under the rocky soil.

Creamy and greasy, it stuck to Kuangshilang's arm limply, twisting his body back and forth.

Soon, not only Kuangshilang's body, but also other places in the huge crater, similar things came out.

The crater, which was originally only red and white, instantly turned into a disgusting wriggling black.

Kamiyagawa quickly recognized what those things were drilling out from under the rocky soil.

That's not a tentacle.

It's black maggots!

The black maggots were many, many times bigger than the ones I saw on King Zhusa back then!

Fat maggots burst out from under the silt-red rock soil, gathering more and more.

They gathered together and rushed towards the wall of the crater with the momentum of a volcanic eruption.

The Kuangshilang puppet, which was still hanging on the rock wall for the time being, couldn't cope with such a scene at all, slipped its hands and feet, and fell directly towards the large entangled black maggots.

For a moment, a disgusting squirming sensation spread all over his body.

Kamiyagawa directly chose to cut off the link with Kuangshirou, and turned his attention back to himself.

too disgusting.

That puppet is no longer available.

Kamiya, who was sitting at a vertical height of about 500 meters from the crater, looked up and saw that in the crater above, strips of wriggling black were overflowing and rolling down.

Originally covered with snow, the top of Mt. Fuji, which had a holy taste even in the other world, was completely covered with filth in an instant.

This scene seems familiar.

I haven't seen it with my own eyes in reality or in the other world.

Instead, I have experienced such a scene in the murals of the Pig King Cave before.

Kamiya still remembers the contents of that painting——

Filthy black maggots spewed out of the crater, which caused the fall of the then god of Mount Fuji.

The scene of maggots gushing out of the volcano in front of me is nothing compared to the imposing manner in that painting.

But Kamiyagawa still felt that it was difficult to deal with.

Jingle bells—jingle bells—

Zashiki Doji in [Mirage Budai] rang the bell again.

Louder than ever before.

She could feel that Shen Guchuan's current situation was very dangerous, and if she was not careful, she would be doomed!

"Woohoo!"

The Inugami, who was curled up and leaning on his master, quickly jumped up from the ground, arched his body, and bared his teeth to protect his master.

At this time, it is no longer possible to stay on the bare hillside.

The terrain here is terrible.

Countless black maggots poured out from top to bottom like an avalanche, and there was no shelter around, making it impossible to avoid.

The scene in front of him was in line with the worst scenario that Kamiyagawa expected to encounter before his trip.

Although the situation is critical and things are going in the worst direction, since Kamiyagawa dared to go directly to Mount Fuji to explore the mountain pass on the premise of having seen the pig king cave paintings, it shows that he is not completely unprepared.

He was sitting in the snow, beside him stood the [Gao Tian Yuan Shen Tuo] that had been prepared a long time ago, with yellow and green fluorescent lights dancing on it.

Just disconnected the perception of Kuangshilang's puppet, and at the same time he looked up at the crater, his right hand had already stretched out and touched the ark.

Yellow-green shards of light scattered like fireflies on a summer night.

In the next second, one person and one dog disappeared.

And about a minute after Kamiya teleported to Gaotianyuan, the overflowing black maggots hit like an avalanche, washed away where he was originally sitting, and rolled down towards Mount Fuji...

...

Tree Poseidon.

It is quite far from Mount Fuji.

Kamiyagawa teleported back here from Gao Tianyuan, and quickly summoned Prajna.

He asked Banruo to pick him up and fly out of the covered sky above the forest to check the situation on the other side of Mount Fuji.

Prajna naturally complied with this request.

oh……

She still chose to hug her own Onmyoji princess.

But at the critical moment, Kamiya didn't have time to care about the awkward posture.

Flying out of the blockade of the dense branches of the forest, the field of vision suddenly became wider.

Kamiyagawa looked in the direction of Mount Fuji, and saw that the holy mountain that was supposed to be covered with snow and surrounded by flowing clouds, the white cover above it had turned black.

And the black, like ink, is still flowing slowly down the mountain.

However, after Mount Fuji was polluted to a small part above, it stopped, or the speed of flowing downward became extremely slow.

The top of the mountain no longer continued to have black things gushing out.

"Although it is the worst case, it is similar to what I predicted before."

When Kamiyagawa was looking at the murals in the Pig King Cave, he noticed some details.

For example, the painting depicting the depravity of Mount Fuji——

Even when the mountain god fell, the maggots that spewed out of the crater of Mount Fuji only covered one-third of the volume of the mountain.

The number of those maggots is indeed large, but it is impossible to swallow the entire Mount Fuji and even the large forest below it.

"The next thing to do is to prepare to meet the enemy on the flat area under Mt. Fuji, and I have probably seduced Hiko Fakuya out! Hannya, let's go down!"

Perhaps because of the plan, Kamiyagawa put one arm around Hannya's slender and soft waist excitedly while speaking, and put the other hand on her shoulder.

This action caused the faces of the two to get very close all of a sudden.

"Well……"

The hideous and grotesque masks around Banruo spun back and forth quickly.

Now it was her turn to feel awkward.
