I loaded the ghost talk game

Onizuka Kiriho:......

After sensing what happened to Yuri Sakai during her lifetime, the little miko remained silent for a long time. In the end, she just silently bent down and picked up the black and white photos and manuscripts on the ground.

So far, she has figured out what happened to Yuri Sakai, Teto Toshima, and the first hikers she met after they entered the Tsuchimikado area.

In order to find the Amado Bronze Mirror, Toshima Teito was killed by a shrine maiden in colorful clothes at the Wanzu Pond.

Then Toshima Taito, who turned into a vicious spirit, lost his mind and returned to Tachibana's house out of a strong obsession with his promise to his lover.

He killed Yuri Sakai.

At this point, this pair of lovers have become undead souls wandering around in Tsuchimikan Village.

I don’t know how many years have passed.

An unknown climber accidentally entered Tsuchimikado Village.

He encountered the undead spirit of Sakai Yuri and was eventually killed.

"Tsuchimikado Village itself is extremely weird. People who die here seem to turn into irrational evil spirits... I don't know how many tragedies have happened here." Onizuka thought this way.

If possible, if she had the spare power, she would like to completely destroy this land of death that weaves tragedy as much as possible.

In addition, whether it is the couple Sakai and Toshima or the mountaineers, their stories are all on the surface.

Their encounters only scratched the surface of the hidden secrets of Tsuchimikado Village.

If you want to explore more deeply, Toshiya Sakai's manuscript may become the next breakthrough.

"It's better to go back to the cave first, and we should also try to make good contact with Agawa."

The little witch still lowered her eyebrows, but she cheered up.

She did feel for the dead who perished here.

However, we cannot stand still just because of this.

Onizuka could not allow himself and Kamiya to make the same mistakes as those poor lovers.

…

The red rope on his wrist pulled rhythmically.

Kamiya and Onizuka, located on both sides of the cave's stone door, convey information to each other in an orderly manner.

"After the Tsuchimikado area disappeared, the victims who accidentally entered it and died...the bloody memorial ceremony held by the Tsuchimikado family...the shrine maiden who was used as a living sacrifice..."

"It seems that Hotaru has obtained a lot of information."

Kamiya roughly understood what happened to Onizuka.

Although he himself didn't get any useful information, the little witch gained a lot!

"Speaking of the witches who were sacrificed, are they the ones I met in the deep pool of the waterfall just now? Are those the sacrifices of past generations?"

The group of Tsuchimikado shrine maidens that Kamiyagawa encountered were all full of resentment and pain. They must have experienced very cruel things during their lifetimes.

Combined with the red hemp rope that bound them and their fragmented corpses...

"So, the specific sacrificial process of the Tendo Shaman Festival is likely to be - binding the hands and feet of the shrine maidens selected as sacrifices, and then gouging out their flesh and blood?"

Why would the Tsuchimikado family do such a thing?

What is the purpose of this evil and bloody sacrifice?

"Judging from the available information, the descendants of Abe Seimei do not look like good people. Could such an evil ritual be done to please an evil god and then obtain power from the god?"

Kamiyakawa thought so, but he was not sure.

The red rope continued to be pulled, and Onizuka recited a song that was popular in Tsuchimikado Village.

This clue came from the climbers' notes.

Before the climbers encountered Yuri Sakai's ghost, they seemed to have encountered a group of children playing and heard them singing and playing.

However, the lyrics were not completely recorded and were somewhat incomplete: "The childlike sun goddess on Gaotian Plain,...the great god, and those not mentioned just now, are torn apart..."

Childlike female deity.

Takamagahara is the sister of Amaterasu, and she is also a sun god.

"The Spider Goddess of Ainu mentioned to me that the items belonging to the God of Ekei have the breath of the sun. And I came to Tsuchimikado because of the God of Eketsu. Therefore, the true form of the God of Eketsu is very Could it be that she is the goddess of the sun, the goddess who holds the power of the sun and marriage at the same time?"

Kamiyagawa felt that his conjecture was quite possible.

Continue to analyze the incomplete ballad.

In addition to the childish goddess who is suspected of being the god of fate, the second sentence of the lyrics mentions a god whose name has not been recorded.

"If the second god in the lyrics is Tenden no Mikoto, then the ones that are 'torn apart' are the shrine maidens of Tsuchimikado."

In this way, the song has a certain direction.

It alludes to the two gods associated with the Tsuchimikado area, and hints at the existence of the cruel "Amado Shaman Festival" that tore apart the shrine maidens chosen as sacrifices.

It feels reasonable.

"In addition, the Amado Shaman Festival, the Amado Bronze Mirror... Amado probably refers to the Amado Rock, right?"

Kamiyagawa knew the mythology of Amado Rock after coming into contact with Jujun Shrine.

It was Amaterasu who hid in Amado Rock. Without her presence, the world became dark. Afterwards, the goddess Tian Tian danced a witch dance to attract Amaterasu, so that the sun god finally returned to the world.

Tian Tian Nu Ming is one of the main characters in the story of Amado Iwa.

"Is the evil sacrifice controlled by the Tsuchimikado family to please the goddess Tenden?"

Kamiya felt that there should be some kind of connection between Tian Tian Nu Ming and the Tsuchimikado family.

For example, the Jujun Shrine, which once supported the Tsuchimikado family, also enshrines the ancestors of the Tsuchimikado family, Abe Seimei and Tenden no Mikoto.

Too many coincidences should no longer be coincidences.

But as the ancestral goddess of shrine maidens, would Tian Tian Nu Destiny feel pleasure from such a painful and cruel ritual?

He is supposed to be the patron god of witches, right?

"Tiantian's female destiny, Tiantian's female destiny... uh, Grandma Gu..."

When Kamiyagawa recalled Juqiong Shrine, he thought of something else.

The current deity of Juqiong Shrine, Granny Gu, is the divine descendant of Tiantian Nu.

After becoming a divine descendant, she has been able to see some very painful divine revelations.

The specific content includes: the body of the god is broken, and the blood of the god flows to the earth.

"Tian Tian Nu's life is torn apart?"

If the "divine revelation" that Granny Gu saw was true, then Tiantian's life was probably in a state of fragmentation for some reason.

"So, during the process of the Amano Shaman Festival, the flesh and blood of the shrine maidens who were regarded as sacrifices were cut out. Isn't it to please the Tenten Maiden, but to echo what happened to her? What exactly is the Tsuchimikado family doing? What?"

Kamiyakawa pressed his temples, and more questions that came with thinking could not be answered.

So, he first fed back his guesses truthfully to Onizuka Kiriho through the red rope.

The slender red rope hung in the air, fluttering in silence for a while, and then began to be pulled rhythmically from the door again.

The little witch sent back the message——

[The Childlike Sun Goddess on Gao Tianyuan,... the Great God, and the one I didn’t mention just now, the torn apart Tian Tian Nu Ming. ]

A simple word-choice fill-in-the-blank question.

Onizuka added another possible fill-in-the-blank model based on the information given by Kamiyagawa.

"...It's possible what Hotaru added. If that's the case, is the Tsuchimikado area also related to a third unknown god?" Kamiyakawa felt his temples swelled a little more, "Then things will be even more troublesome."

Regardless of whether this possibility is right or wrong, both of them must be mentally prepared for it.

Kamiya and Onizuka discussed through the red rope for a while, but no more valuable breakthroughs were made.

Regarding the matter of Tsuchimikado and the fate of the Tiantian girl, they still need to explore more before they can get a glimpse of the whole picture.

The exchange of information ends here for the time being. Kamiya and Onitsuka returned to both sides of the cave door at this time, and there was another important thing to do.

Tianhu bronze mirror.

Both of their explorations went smoothly, and they each obtained a fragment of a bronze mirror.

Now I have to try to put the pieces together into the grooves on the stone door and see.

Kamiya took out the fragments he had obtained and placed them on the groove. The bronze mirror originally embedded in it reacted with the one in Kamiya's hand. They pulled each other, and Kamiya didn't need to deliberately find the position. The second fragment stuck to the lower left corner of the groove by itself.

At the same time, a third fragment emerged from the groove.

It was Onitsuka who also made the same move.

The fragments of the bronze mirror turned into three pieces.

Through simple communication, Kamiya and Onizuka can confirm that the fragments found by each other can indeed be mirrored on the other side's stone gate groove.

"In other words, the fragments of the Amado Bronze Mirror exist on both sides of the door." Kamiyakawa smiled bitterly.

Although I don't want to see Hotaru involved in danger, judging from the current situation, the current Tsuchimikado copy cannot be cleared by one person, and two people must work together to clear it.

"Horuta and I were both brought into the Tsuchimikado Gate by the power of the Enkei God. From this point of view, there is a high probability that the Enkei God is on our side. He paired us with the red rope and sent us to both sides of the door. , so that we can deal with the trouble here?”

Of course, it may not be the Enyugogami himself who introduced Kamiya and Onizuka into Tsuchimikado.

It might be the power left by this god, or even the bones of a god.

"Let's not think about this for now. The most practical thing at the moment is that the Amado Bronze Mirror has been pieced together about half. If the remaining fragments are about the same size, then there are probably three other fragments that have not yet been found."

The progress has been advanced to 50%.

The two people who are bound by the red rope of the Fate God still need to keep up their efforts.

After staring at the incomplete bronze mirror on the stone door for a while, Kamiya suddenly felt something and lowered his head: "Mary?"

The space around him was turbulent, and red mist slowly filled the air.

Mary's Blood Mist.

The red mist was not as majestic as before, enough to swallow up everything. It only diffused sporadic and thin bits, winding around Kamiya like a veil.

"Mary is trying to influence here."

The Amado Bronze Mirror seems to have the ability to stabilize the chaotic space forces in the Tsuchimikado area.

Now that it's only half pieced together, Mary, already a god, can try to seep in a little more of her power.

This is great news.

"If the bronze mirror can be pieced together completely, or if the stone gate with the complete bronze mirror is broken, can the shikigami appear here smoothly?" This idea made Kamiyagawa happy.

Although Kamiya's personal combat strength is not low now.

But team combat is an area he is more specialized in!

Under the command of Kamiyagawa, they eat up buffs and cooperate with each other. As Arakami, the combat power that the shikigami can unleash is several times that of fighting alone.

Not to mention, Mary has now broken through to A level.

The Kamiya Group has the capital and confidence to have a chance with the gods when the entire army attacks.

"This is really rare good news after entering the Tsuchimikado area." Kamiyagawa's spirit perked up, "It seems that we need to find the fragments of the Amado Bronze Mirror faster."

There is a possibility that shikigami will appear to assist in the battle, which provides a second idea for attacking the Tsuchimikado area.

Now that we are trapped here, the only way to escape from this ghost place is to search for clues, explore the truth behind this area, and find a way to leave.

But if the shikigami can cooperate, it will provide another layer of guarantee for Kamiya and Onizuka to attack Tsuchimikado——

What hidden secrets, the treacherous truth.

It doesn't matter if it really can't be revealed.

I am really desperate. With the shikigami as a guarantee, Kamiya will never sit still and wait for death. The worst thing I can do is try to break the boat and penetrate here directly.

If the decryption fails, then attack the enemy head-on!

Anyway, the weirdness behind Tsuchimikado must be related to the gods.

But if I can bring down the gods that affect this place, wouldn't everything be solved?

…

After exhorting each other to be careful with Onizuka, Kamiyagawa left the Shimen Cave.

It's still the same outside, the world and the world are so dim that you can't see the boundaries.

The bare peaks are lined with twisted black rocks. The peaks stretch and are connected to the mountains in the distance.

"After half of the bronze mirror was pieced together, the atmosphere outside seemed to have changed. It felt like something was stirring in the darkness, ready to come out."

Kamiyakawa stared around at the entrance of the cave.

When he first explored the outside, he felt that the space he was in was unusual, and something extraordinary seemed to be lurking there.

It does not refer to the Tsuchimikado miko encountered at the waterfall before.

Those group of mikos are nothing at all. With Kamiya's personal strength, he can get past them without any damage.

His intuition told him that there was definitely something more terrifying and sneaky in this space.

"Maybe we need to hurry up."

This time, Kamiya did not go further down along the rock wall. The route there was leading to Tsuchimikado Miko Waterfall, and even after walking around for a long time, it was impossible to leave the mountain where the cave is located.

He looked directly towards the bottom of the cliff outside the cave, which was obscured by gray clouds.

But with Kamiyagawa's extraordinary eyesight, he could still see the situation below.

"Well... I can confirm that there are no ghost stories down there."

More than thirty meters below the steep cliff is a valley.

If we can get there, it seems that we can leave the mountain where the cave is located and explore other areas.

"With my current strength of flesh and blood, will I be killed if I fall from this height?" Kamiyakawa is not sure, and feels that he shouldn't, but after all, he has never tried it, so he still feels a little guilty. "If I had known better, I would have been in the ordinary world. I used the scapegoat to test the limits of my body."

However, even if you don't die if you jump from here, the impact of the fall will cause trouble in your actions afterward.

So he didn't plan to just jump off the cliff like the protagonist in the martial arts novel.

He fumbled out the "Hanged Man's Rope Reins" from the "Mirage Bag", and tied one end of the hemp rope firmly to the black boulder standing on the cliff, and the other end tied up his waist and abdomen.

Although this rope is not of high quality, it is surprisingly useful in many situations.

For example, now Kamiyagawa plans to use it as a safety rope. (End of chapter)
