I loaded the ghost talk game

"Grandpa, what's the matter, have you contacted Master?"

After packing up the equipment, Lu Yeya asked the little old man No. 3 on the side.

From just now, the little old man No. 3 has been sitting cross-legged on the ground and meditating. He tried very hard to get in touch with his own body and his master.

But it is a pity that the space he is in now is too abnormal.

Not only is the mobile phone communication completely out of order, but the "Ghost Talk Communication" is also not working. Little old man No. 3 can only feel a little weak connection between the main body and himself.

Through this connection, the two parties may have the possibility of "communication", but the current "signal" does not support this.

"Whoa, whoop, whoop."

The little old man No. 3 shook his head in response.

"Well, it seems that things are more troublesome than we thought at the beginning." Xiaolu didn't immediately get depressed, but suddenly thought of something, "By the way, little grandpa, you have lost contact with the original little grandpa No. 0." Right? In other words, you are independent now?"

"Abba whimpering."

The little old man No. 3 nodded, then began to get up from the ground again, clenched his fist with one hand and knocked on his chest.

The costume of the nihilistic monk swayed with his firm movements.

This action is usually done when the little old man expresses his loyalty to Kamiyagawa.

Xiaolu has been with all the weird stories at home for so long, so he can naturally understand the meaning.

"That's what I asked, I don't have to doubt you." Kanoya waved his hand quickly, "That is, even if Master went to another world before, the connection between your avatars and the main body will not be lost, right? I was just now I want to say, maybe the place we are in now is even weirder than that other world.”

It is assumed that the consciousness of the little old man's avatar and the main body were disconnected at the moment when the loyal No. 3 jumped off the earthquake crack in the imperial tea after following Lu Yeya and was teleported here.

Then even if No. 3 has formed an independent consciousness, it should still retain all the memories of the previous body.

That's why he has always maintained closeness and respect to Kanoya, one of the eldest ladies in the family, as before.

From this point of view, Xiaolu thinks that even if the little old man No. 3 is independent in thinking, he can still be trusted, and he is still the very reliable elder in the family.

He had absolutely no reason to betray his master and himself.

Moreover, Xiaolu also has to rely on Little Old Man No. 3 to protect himself before being rescued by Master.

"Abba, Abba."

The little old man raised his hand and touched his chin, which seemed to agree with Xiaolu's guess just now.

He has the nature of a scout and has a strong perception ability. And has rich exploration experience like the ontology. In his opinion, this place is indeed too unusual.

His main body has followed his master to explore many strange and unpredictable places. Although it looks a bit ordinary on the surface, the degree of weirdness hidden in the secret may be even more than those places in the other world.

It can be seen from the fact that the little old man's main body and avatar were forcibly disconnected, and the avatar even derived independent consciousness from it.

"Then what should we do now?" Xiaolu became distressed.

There are currently two paths in front of her, one is to wait in place, waiting for the master to save her; the second is to seize the initiative and try to explore the surrounding area, maybe you can get more information about this weird area .

She never thought of separating from the little old man No. 3, such as letting the latter explore the surrounding area and staying where she was.

"I feel that it is better to stay with the little grandpa all the time. Isn't it like this in horror movies... The protagonist group has to act separately in a scary and weird place, and then they are killed one by one..."

Xiaolu thinks so.

There is indeed some truth to her thinking.

After all, Kanoya is not Kamiyagawa, the god of defense and killing, and his own strength is limited. At present, all his confidence comes from the props given by his master and teachers.

If little old man No. 3 leaves her side, her perception of sudden situations and dangers around her will be greatly weakened.

It's better to act together, at least with a support.

As for the two options available at the moment, Kanoya actually prefers the second one.

After all, she is Shengu's apprentice, and she still has some adventurous spirit in her bones. It should be better to explore around and get a little information than to be passive now.

However, although Xiao Lu occasionally jumps off recklessly, he is not really stupid. Not far away, she didn't want to approach the desolate village that seemed to have a large area, so she only planned to explore around the periphery first.

As soon as this idea was brought up, the little old man thought for a while before agreeing.

They began to explore the surrounding area in the direction of the original village together.

...

There are muddy mountain forest paths along the way, and the pair of white indoor shoes at the feet of Deer House are already covered with mud.

After walking for about half an hour, the little deer and the little old man came to the end.

Yes, the end.

The road ahead seemed to be cut open by a knife, with straight broken marks, as well as the mountains and land here.

Outside the section, there is a thick gray haze.

The thick fog filled and rolled, and it was completely impossible to see what was inside, but one could hear a whistling sound, like the sound of the wind, or the howling of a monster.

Standing on the section of the mountain and looking down, there is also a thick gray fog below, and I don't know how deep it is.

In short, Kanoya looked down and felt instinctively dizzy.

She calmed down briefly, moved a large stone from the dark forest beside her, and threw it towards the knife-cut cliff.

The stone fell into the mist without making a sound.

After a long time, there was no sound of landing.

"How deep is this cliff? Or is there no end at all?" Kanoya shrank his neck.

Now, she was even more convinced that the place she was in was definitely not reality.

Because the front was impassable, Deer House had no choice but to enter the mountain forest under the leadership of the little old man No. 3.

The dense branches cover the sky and the sun, and the woodland is drowsy like a maze, but with scouts around, there is no need to worry about getting lost.

It's a pity that the two of them explored for a while, and they couldn't find a way to leave when they got to the deer house where the soles of the feet hurt. Instead, they went around and returned to the vicinity of the depressed village.

"So, there is no way out to the outside world?"

Even Kanoya, who is always positive, can't help feeling a little depressed at this time.

Time came to dusk.

The mountain and forest environment outside the village was originally dark, but as the daylight weakened, it became even more silent and terrifying. It was a little cool in the evening, the sky was still gray, and the sun was only halfway down before it lost its obvious light. The grayness of the sky reveals an endless blackness, stretching into the distance.

The deer rested in the distance outside the village, and simply drank a little water from its own cup.

Then I broke off a small sandwich and ate it.

The food and water she carried were limited, but fortunately, she didn't have a lot of food. And it may be because she is nervous and worried now, she doesn't have much appetite.

After resting for a while, the little old man No. 3, who was guarding the spot, suddenly sensed something.

He quickly got up from the ground and signaled Kanoya to run away.

Something is approaching where they are in the direction of the forest!

Kanoya reacted quickly, quickly got up and followed the little old man away.

At this moment, she seemed to hear a low bark of a wild animal in an unknown place far away in the forest.

Like a wolf howling.

The mountains and forests at night are not easy to move around, and Deer House does not dare to turn on the flashlight of the mobile phone for direct lighting, for fear of attracting some unknown things, so the speed of hiding and escaping is not fast.

There was a dull grayness all around, and the silhouettes of plants and bushes were distorted on the ground and in the air.

Kanoya tried hard to suppress his rapid breathing, and the bushes and branches around him scratched his arms and thighs, causing some pain.

Running, she saw the little old man No. 3 in front of her turned her head, raised her hand and stretched out three fingers.

"Three? Does the thing near us mean three?"

The deer is flustered at the moment.

After all, she doesn't have any experience in fighting alone.

And what's worse, she doesn't know what little old man No. 3 perceives.

The unknown itself carries a natural sense of terror.

After the little old man No. 3 pointed out the number of threatening targets in the forest, the little deer glanced back and seemed to see a bright light not far away.

Her steps were chaotic, her feet slipped, and she rolled directly down a slope.

"Ugh...it hurts..."

The fall was painful, but Kanoya didn't dare to make too much noise.

Her right knee was knocked a little hard, and it was very painful. After struggling for a while, she barely managed to get up from the ground in a hurry.

"Whoa whoa whoa!"

The little old man was talking anxiously beside her, but the next second his figure suddenly dimmed and disappeared.

The scout didn't play the shakuhachi, but restrained his breath.

However, with Xiaolu's perception ability, he can't see where the little old man No. 3 is at all. He can only gain a little bit of enhanced sense of smell by practicing incense, and vaguely smell that the other party is still by his side, and he has not abandoned himself. leave.

The little old man naturally didn't run away, but just hid beside Kanoya.

The danger was so close that they could not run away.

Therefore, the little old man No. 3 had no choice but to hide his breath, stay by Xiaolu's side, and make plans after seeing the next development.

His main body did often run away when he followed Shengu to explore, but that was because the master was very strong, strong enough to deal with various crises and emergencies.

But Miss Kanoya... just a few times.

If he ran away, he would be really disloyal and unrighteous, and he would be ashamed to see his master again in the future.

Moreover, after the three targets in the forest got closer, the scout with superior perception felt that the danger dropped a little.

Maybe the target of those three things is not Miss Kanoya at all?

Maybe things will turn around.

rustle--

Behind him came the rustling of shrubbery.

Kanoya smelled a human-like smell, as well as a strange smell of water and earth, as well as the smell of gunpowder smoke.

Mixed together, it feels dangerous.

But Xiaolu's knee hurts badly, and he barely wants to lift his foot before walking, when suddenly he heard a loud "bang" coming from behind.

The clods of dirt underfoot splashed.

The smell of gunpowder was strong and pervasive.

Someone shoots.

"Alas!"

Kanoya whispered, leaned down quickly, grasped the brass chain of the Shengde imperial incense burner with one hand, and reached into the outer compartment of the schoolbag to hold a spice bag with the other.

rustle--

The sound of bushes turning again.

A dim but strong light shone on Kanoya's panicked face, making her unable to open her eyes for a while.

After finally getting used to the light, she saw a figure standing on the slope.

"Ah, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I thought it was that wolf." The man said, his voice was a little old, although he said "sorry", but his tone was cheerful.

The human-like smell, as well as the seemingly non-existent smell of water and earth all emanated from that person.

The smell of gunpowder and gunpowder came from a double-barreled gun in the opponent's hand.

It looked like a shotgun.

"A...hunter with a shotgun? Is it a person? But... something doesn't feel right."

Kanoya gripped the copper chain of the imperial incense burner tightly and did not move.

In theory, Japanese society bans guns and prohibits private ownership of guns, but this "prohibition" is not so strict. If individuals can obtain a legal gun license, they can legally own guns, but the types of guns they own are very limited, and they can only buy shotguns and air guns.

Generally speaking, it is very difficult to obtain a gun license, and the shotgun and air gun that an individual can hold cannot exceed two bullets.

And it is only allowed to be used for hunting and shooting competitions.

But because of this level, in some parts of Japan, there is indeed a chance to see hunters with shotguns.

Although the number of such people will be very small.

The hunter held a gun and a flashlight and walked down the hillside. Deer House could see the opponent's appearance more clearly.

He is a grandfather in his sixties, with gray hair on the temples, resolute facial features, a very tough body, and a steady pace in the mountains and forests.

And what is strange is that the old hunter always has a benevolent and empty smile on his face.

Just kept smiling.

"You little girl, it's dangerous to stay alone in the forest at night." The old hunter said in a concerned tone.

"I……"

Kanoya didn't reply, and didn't know how to reply.

While she was hesitating, there was another rustling sound beside her, and two more figures appeared with flashlights on.

They were two middle-aged men in their thirties, a man and a woman, also holding shotguns.

Like the old hunter, the two newcomers also had strange smiles on their faces that couldn't go away.

The flashlight flickered and shone on their faces, reflecting grinning mouths and bared teeth.

This smile made Kanoya feel uncomfortable.

"Is it a girl? I thought it was the wolf. Mr. Watanabe, did you shoot just now, did you hurt someone?"

The middle-aged woman among the two new hunters said so, and tried to check the situation of Kanoya.

But Kanoya resisted this and shrank back.

"I didn't hit it. But I think it scared her. It was my fault to shoot." The old hunter surnamed Watanabe said with a smile.

"You say...wolves, right?"

Kanoya finally spoke at this time, but he took the initiative to divert the topic away from himself.

The three people in front of them looked strange, but they seemed to be able to communicate.

And with the three shotguns in the opponent's hand, Kanoya could only try to communicate.

"Yes, yes." Grandpa Watanabe nodded, "After the earthquake a few days ago, there was a mudslide in the mountain, and several places collapsed. Then that beast suddenly appeared, and it has already injured several people in the village. I Together with Takao and Xigui, they wanted to team up to hunt down that beast."

After hearing this reply, Kanoya fell silent again.

She thought of a question——

Are there wolves in Japan?
