"Perhaps because of my high charm, [One Thousand Silver Needles] is very easy to use. The quality level of this small silver stick is rare, and it is probably one level higher than the well-rated Kappa 50% New Cucumber and the Big Tengu Pulp-Paped Geta.
Grade.”
On the way home from get off work, Kamiyagawa was talking to himself.
While working at night, he used the store manager Kawai, a certain Mr. Okamura, and two familiar customers to test the effect of the small silver stick.
The result is very satisfying.
As long as Kamiyagawa's lies are not too outrageous, store manager Kawai and Mr. Okamura will all choose to believe them unconditionally.
I guess if you get braver, you can trick them all into selling them, and within a short period of time, they will help you count the money.
Of course, Kamiyagawa would not do such a chaotic and evil thing in reality.
In addition, through testing, Kamiyagawa also came up with a rule that needs to be remembered when using [Thousand Silver Needles]——
When holding a small silver stick and lying to the same target continuously, the chance of being discovered will gradually increase with the number of lies.
Therefore, you cannot catch someone trying to cheat.
While walking, he thought, Kamiyakawa turned into a small alley, he was almost home.
The place where he lives is very close to Kabukicho, and the bustling custom shops are not far from him.
The alley is very narrow, damp, dimly lit, and dirty. Cigarette butts and lunch boxes can be seen everywhere. The tangled wires overhead are very low and inexplicably depressing.
Probably because it rained during the day, there were still some small puddles on the road.
The moon is very bright tonight, and the moonlight shines on the puddles on the road, making it white and misty.
There is an apartment building in the alley, and you can see that the walls are messy with air conditioners and drainage pipes.
While Kamiyagawa's gambling father was still here, the father and son had been living on the second floor here.
The residence is about 20 square meters, with one bedroom, one living room and one bathroom. The furniture in the room is a bit old, but overall it is clean and has no smell.
Naturally, the house is rented, and the monthly rent is 40,000 yen.
The fixed monthly rent makes Kamiyakawa's already poor life even worse.
Therefore, work-study is really necessary for him.
After returning home, Kamiyagawa took a shower first, then lay on his back on the bed and took out his mobile phone.
"Ghost Story" starts.
[The opened map was not retrieved, please go to the designated location to start the game.]
Well, this garbage game is still the same as before. It cannot be started normally unless it is near the cherry blossom forest of Hualing High School.
After exiting the game, Kamiyagawa turned his gaze to the yellowed ceiling and began to review what happened today. Of course, he was mostly reviewing what he had seen in the Kaidan game world today.
"The drowned ghost I met in the game is called Kuriyama Shoko."
"In the memory of the original owner, there seems to have been a drowning incident in Hualing High School many years ago."
After thinking about it randomly for a while, Kamiyagawa opened the browser on his mobile phone and started typing in keywords-Kanazu High School, drowning incident, female high school students.
After spending some time and skipping a lot of irrelevant information, he found a press release from 8 years ago, written by a local urban newspaper.
"It's a pity that a female high school student from Karin High School drowned!"
The report was brief and routine. The name of the drowned person was not recorded. The cause of the drowning was "still under investigation" at the end of the report, but a photo of the drowning location was attached.
The photo was taken of a corner of the artificial lake at Hualing High School.
"So, the artificial lake in the school really drowned a female high school student."
The image of a drowned ghost appeared in Kamiyakawa's mind.
There was no follow-up report on the drowning incident in the news of this newspaper, so Kamiyagawa added the words "Kuriyama Shoko" to the search record just now, paused with his fingertips for half a second, and added the words "Nagasawa Keisuke"
Names were also added.
This time it took him more time to find useful information.
That was an old post on a local student forum, published 8 years ago.
The content of the discussion revolved around "the incident with Hua Ling." No one said clearly what it was, but everyone involved in the discussion seemed to understand it tacitly.
In this old post, Kamiyagawa found the names of Kuriyama Shoko and Nagasawa Keisuke——
[Kuriyama-san is so stupid, really.]
[What, I think dying for love is a great thing.]
[Don’t talk nonsense! Suicide will not solve any problems at all.]
[Nagaze is a scumbag.]
[Is he just scared?]
[Obviously it was Nagasawa who asked Rishan to die for his love, but after Rishan threw himself into the lake, he was afraid?]
[…]
Through these words and messages from Mohu, Kamiyagawa roughly understood what happened at Karin High School eight years ago.
Kuriyama Shoko and Nagasawa Keisuke were both students at Karin High School and a couple.
For unknown reasons, the two met to commit suicide in the school's artificial lake.
There is no doubt that this is a stupid and impulsive decision.
On the day of his death, Kuriyama Shoko threw himself into the lake. However, Nagasawa Keisuke finally gave up and committed suicide, either out of a temporary fear of death or for other reasons.
As a result, Kuriyama Shoko drowned on the spot, but Nagasawa Keisuke survived.
The story is roughly summarized like this, but the specific details cannot be restored through just a few words from an old grave post.
"That happened 8 years ago. So, there is a high probability that Nagasawa Keisuke is still alive and well?"
Kamiyagawa closed the forum and searched for information about "Shimizu Trading Company".
[The drowned ghost Kuriyama Shoko by the lake hopes that you can send an important letter to Nagasawa Keisuke for her. She suggests that you go to the Shimizu Trading Company Building to try your luck, maybe you can find the person you are looking for.]
After accepting the quest from Drowned Ghost in the game, Kamiyagawa received such a quest prompt.
This search yielded results quickly.
Shimizu Trading Co., Ltd. is an investment company. The company building is located in Sumida District of the city. It takes about an hour to get there by train.
"If Nagasawa Keisuke is still alive, then the Shimizu Trading Company building mentioned in the mission prompt does not refer to an unopened map in the game, but to the real Shimizu Company."
"In Qingshui Company, there is a high probability that you can find Nagasawa Keisuke alive."
Kamiyagawa gently pressed the joint of his right thumb with his upper teeth. At this moment, his mind was a little confused.
After a while, he sat up from the bed and opened the schoolbag that was thrown carelessly on the floor.
In addition to textbooks and stationery, there were a few small mutilated paper figures in the bag, a dilapidated ancient book "Five Thunder Zhengfa", a small smooth silver stick, and a piece of white paper soaked by moisture.
These are the props Kamiyagawa has obtained from playing "Kaitan Monogatari" these days.
He took out the white paper.
The paper is slightly damp, as if it will never dry, and no words can be seen on it.
"A letter that Kuriyama Shoko asked me to send to Nagasawa Keisuke."
Kamiyakawa murmured to himself, his eyes flickering.
The ghost in the game wants to send messages to people in reality.
