Suffering is an everlasting theme in Souls-based games.
The newly opened Inunaki Pass map of the Kamiya River has been so painful these past two days that I feel like crying.
It's not possible to explore along the deserted road from behind.
He tried to pass through the Inunming Tunnel but failed.
There is a wolf in front and a tiger behind.
no way.
I thought that instead of taking the right path, I would just grope up the hillside from both sides and enter Inuning Mountain.
The area of Inuning Mountain is too large, and the trees are dense, blocking the view.
If you don't take two turns inside, you will be completely disoriented and cannot tell the difference between east, west and north.
The last time I explored the mountains and forests, the Kamiya River wandered around like a headless fly for more than half an hour, and then something that was twisting and twisting like a large white plastic bag suddenly appeared in my field of vision.
Well, I bumped into the D-class monster that was also wandering in the forest and twisted around.
send!
…
Reality, Karuzu National High School, Sakura Forest.
The very capable little master Kamiya is once again preparing to log into the world of ghost stories and suffer.
Before officially launching the game, he first opened the built-in section of "Kaitan Monogatari", [Illustrated Book of Foreign Visits].
[Name of the strange story: twisting and turning]
[Grade: D grade]
[Status: In the world of ghost stories]
[Interview progress: 16%]
(When the progress reaches 100%, the ghost story can freely travel between the real world and the ghost story world according to its own wishes.)
The entry under the progress of foreign visits is, [Public Opinion Acceleration].
Three days have passed since Kamiya River was first seen twisting and turning.
However, the progress of this strange story has not changed much, it is still 16%.
"It's okay, it's okay." Kamiyagawa breathed a sigh of relief, "I guess there are only a few foreign visitors like Hanako, who can increase their progress by 1% in one day."
As for why Hanako is special.
Probably related to her high popularity.
In Japan, and even around the world, stories related to the ghost doll Hanako have been mentioned over and over again from different people.
The extremely high degree of discussion made Hanako's [Public Opinion Acceleration] entry very effective, and the progress of the foreign visit increased rapidly.
"Alternatively, it is possible that the progress of the strange tales' foreign visits is slower in the early stage and faster in the later stage."
Kamiyagawa made random guesses, turned off the twisting information, and at the same time opened Miss Mary's page almost unconsciously.
It can be seen that the phone evil spirit is still in an abnormal state and is displayed as [Sleeping].
Kamitani stared blankly at the information displayed on his phone for a while.
To be honest, he missed Miss Mary wearing a dress and carrying a machete.
Mary, my Mary. Do you know how wronged I am in the new map?
"If Mary were here, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to kill people indiscriminately in Inunaki Pass." Kamiyagawa said to himself with a wry smile.
Because he had suffered so much in the new map in the past two days, Kamiyagawa even tried to call Mary.
However, the familiar number was not connected.
There was only a monotonous blind tone on the other end of the phone.
"So, when will you wake up?"
Kamiyagawa recalled Miss Mary's previous condition after treating Hanako. Her whole body was cracked, like a broken porcelain doll.
"Mary...should be able to wake up again, right?"
It took some time to calm down.
Kamiyagawa once again embarked on his own journey.
"Kaitan Monogatari" starts!
In the field of vision, dark blocks of color condensed and pieced together, and the colors became thicker and thicker. Finally, everything stabilized, forming an eerie and terrifying world.
"Abba whining!"
As soon as he entered the world of Kaitan, Kamiyagawa heard an old but energetic cry.
He recognized this voice, that of a little old man.
Kamiyakawa lowered his head and saw an 8-centimeter-tall little monster dancing excitedly next to the fluorescent shrine and waving to him.
Okay, the traveling frog is back home.
After the little old man collected the One Hundred Soul Crystals from Kamiya River last time, he sneaked out and began to search for useful information about the Inuming Pass area. He probably gained something when he came back this time.
"Have you heard anything?" Kamiyakawa knelt down beside the wooden sign of the god.
The little old man was excited again and danced.
After dancing enough, he picked up a small stone from the roadside and began to write on the ground with difficulty——
"Master! Big news, I found it!"
In the first sentence, the little old man uses two exclamation points to fully express his emotions.
This made Kamiyagawa a little curious about what he had discovered in the past few days since this little thing disappeared:
"I hope your big news will make me feel that spending a hundred soul crystals on you is worth the money."
The little old man nodded vigorously and continued to draw——
"Powerful ghost story, mask, seriously injured in the mountains and forests!"
Putting together a few fragmentary, grammatical keywords, Kamiyagawa quickly understood what the little old man wanted to express.
Somewhere in the mountain forest, there is a powerful monster that was seriously injured.
The characteristic of Kaidan is that he wears a mask.
Gently pressing his upper teeth against the knuckle of his index finger, Kamiyakawa pondered for a few seconds: "Can you take me to have a look?"
The little old man felt excited again, nodded desperately, and tried hard to write a few more words——
"Severely injured, there is no danger. Master, kill her."
It seemed that the little old man wanted to take Kamiya River over and kill the seriously injured "Powerful Monster" in the forest.
"Well, let's take a look first and then talk." Kamiyakawa stood up.
The little old man dropped the stones, rested on the spot for a while, then ran up the hillside at an odd pace and began to lead the way.
…
Inuning Mountain is very big, very big.
Kamiyagawa had explored it twice before on his own, but got lost both times.
Once, due to bad luck, he was twisted around and died on the spot.
Another time, he didn't encounter any monsters, but he was completely lost in the mountains and couldn't get out no matter how hard he walked. In the end, he had no choice but to save himself with a knife in tears, and Kamiyakawa sent himself out of the game.
But the third time we entered the forest, the situation became a little different.
The little old man who led the way had the qualities of a good scout and seemed to have a very good sense of direction.
After following this little monster for about half an hour, Kamiyakawa's vision suddenly became clear.
He came out of the dense forest and saw a towering cliff in front of him.
Under the cliff, you can see a large village.
You can vaguely see the dense blue firelight, swaying throughout the village.
If nothing else, it should be the legendary Inuning Village.
Unfortunately, the cliff in front of us is too high and there is no way to get down.
"Hmm... The Inuning Tunnel is the only passage to Inuning Village. There seems to be a saying. But this is my first time here at Inuning Cliff. It's worth exploring."
Kamiyakawa was thinking this while walking.
The little old man running in front suddenly stopped at this moment, turned his old face full of wrinkles and looked at Kamiya seriously, then stretched out his short finger and pointed ahead.
On the edge of the cliff, the wind was blowing.
Kamiyagawa seemed to hear the woman's whimpering and sighing mixed in.
