Chapter 2841 Exploration (Now It's Hot in the Morning and Cool in the Afternoon)
Lin Pingzhi managed to obtain the sword manual for exorcising evil spirits, only to find that everyone in the world had a copy.
This is almost how Misaki Aso feels now.
"How do you have this?"
Misaki Aso was completely stunned when he saw the old camera in the hands of the two in front of him that looked exactly like his own.
Hearing her question, Amakura Mio and Kurosawa Rei looked at each other.
"That... picked it up."
"I also... picked it up."
"Picked it?!"
However, for Misaki Aso, it was better not to answer.
"How could it be such a coincidence that I picked up a camera made by my ancestors!"
"Even if you say that..."
Regarding Aso Misaki's dissatisfaction, Amakura Mio and Kurosawa Rei didn't know what to say, after all, as they said, they really just picked it up. Amakura Mio found the camera in Minakami Village together with Amakura Mayu in a folk house, while Kurosawa Rei found the camera when he was adventuring in the House of Slumber... It was picked up in the first place.
"Okay, okay, it's just a coincidence, don't take it too seriously."
Shizuku clapped her hands, motioning for everyone to come back to their senses.
"It's not too late to deal with the matter of the camera later. Let's get rid of your lost memories first."
Hearing this, Misaki Aso also nodded and didn't pursue further, while Ryuka Minadutsu picked up a notebook from the table on the other side.
"Ah, here are Dr. Kunihiko Aso's notes."
While talking, Shui Wu Yue Liu Ge opened the notes and began to read.
"In ancient times, Obscure Moon Island was called 'the island closest to Huangquan'... Uh, what's wrong with you?"
Just when Minadutsu Ryuka was reading the notes, she found that when she mentioned the word "Yellow Spring", Hinasaki Crimson, Amakura Mayu, Amakura Mio and Kurosawa Rei froze , his complexion suddenly changed, as if he heard something bad.
"It's nothing, just allergic to a certain word, go ahead."
Shizuku shrugged his shoulders, and the other four exchanged glances with each other, then sighed silently.
How should I put it... The ominous premonition is still the feeling that it has come true.
In fact, there is nothing special written in this notebook. It mainly records Kunihiko Aso’s experience of coming here. He came to Ozuki Island because he heard about the Ozuki Kagura ceremony and wanted to find materials for making a projection machine. . And the ruler of the island welcomes him very much... In addition, the most important part of the note is the mask on the island. According to Aso Kunihiko's description, in the Obscure Moon Kagura ceremony, the five sones would wear it The masks are played in five corners, and in the middle of them there will be a priestess who also wears a mask in charge of dancing. According to the analysis of Dr. Kunihiko Aso, this mask is likely to be the connection point between the world where the deceased lives and the present world.
"Mask..."
Hearing this, Shizuku narrowed her eyes, thought for a moment, and then looked at Tsukimori Sonoka who was hiding behind everyone.
"You said before that in the memory you recalled, there were five girls wearing masks, and a witch? Then they all died?"
"I, I think it should be......"
Hearing Shizuku's question, Tsukimori Sonoka replied tremblingly.
"I just remember that they suddenly fell down, and then the crowd was in chaos, and then I was taken away..."
"So the ceremony failed again?"
Hinasaki asked in a low voice in front of Shizuku, but Shizuku shrugged her shoulders without answering. Instead, Minadutsu Ryuka and Aso Misaki looked at each other suspiciously.
What does it mean to "fail again"?
"Okay, let's do it."
Shizuku signaled everyone to return to the topic.
"Now we are divided into two groups, one group is responsible for searching upstairs, and the other group is responsible for downstairs. This is faster, and we can take care of each other if something happens."
In a horror movie, this kind of proposal is simply the standard opening of FLAG, but with Shizuku's strength, she is the kind who can play with FLAG upside down and stick it on the ghost's head, so naturally she doesn't care about this little trouble .
"But the passage leading to the second floor has been locked by the iron fence."
Hearing this, Tsukimori Sonoka asked anxiously, while Shizuku shrugged.
"Don't worry, it's okay to leave it to me."
After that, the crowd was divided into two groups. Because Tian Cang Yu's legs and feet were inconvenient, it was not suitable for climbing up and down, so Tian Cang Yu, Tian Cang Mio, Minadutsu Ryuka and Shizuku were responsible for searching the first floor. Aso Misaki, Tsukimori Sonoka, Kurosawa Rei and Hinasaki Crimson are in charge of the upstairs.
Misaki Aso had a projection machine herself, and Sonoka Tsukimori took the projection machine from the memorial hall, together with Rei Kurosawa and Hinasaki's crimson ones... Well, how did the evil spirits on it die? I don't know anymore.
By the way, the iron grille door on the second floor was ripped open by Shizuku like kraft paper, so there was no need to think too much about finding a key to open the door.
Next, Shizuku led the other three people to search around on the first floor. At the same time, she also briefly told Minadutsu Ryuka what happened to the other people. Why do other people act so weird when they hear the word "Huangquan".
"So... Ms. Kasugano, what do you mean, Ozuki Island also has that... Gate of the Underworld?"
"From the current point of view, the possibility is quite high. What's more, what happened on Obscure Moon Island is basically the same as other places affected by the gate of the underworld."
While talking, Shizuku picked up the document at hand and glanced at it. It was the document they found in another room just now, and it described a disease called "Yueyou disease". This is a very mysterious disease, the patient will appear insanity and memory impairment, and sometimes even behave like another person. In the end, the patient will gradually become insane and die a miserable death.
And this Obscure Moon Hall was built to treat those patients at that time. According to the information in the hospital, the three girls including Minazuki Ryuka were also hospitalized here as patients before—————————————————— A mystery is solved, that is why girls from five different families know each other and appear in this place again.
Now it seems that the group of Minazuki Ryuka and his party should have been suffering from Yueyue Disease when they were young, so they were sent to the Obscure Moon Hall for treatment. But then something happened, so they left Ozuki Island.
However, it is certain that other people in the Obscure Moon Pavilion will not be so lucky, because along the way, everyone has encountered the wraiths of nurses and patients.
At this time, I have to mention Tiancang Cocoon.
It is true that her legs and feet are inconvenient and her walking speed is slow, but perhaps it is precisely because of this reason that Tiancang Cocoon's inspirational stress is very strong, which can be said to be equivalent to the human body radar. In fact, many times, before those wraiths appear, Tiancang Cocoon can immediately feel that something is uncomfortable or something is wrong.
This also makes it impossible for those souls who want to act like those in horror movies to suddenly get out of the cracks in the door or windows to make people jump. Basically, they haven't been fully implemented yet. Tian Cang Yu has already pointed out to his sister where to be careful, and then Tian Cang Mio immediately turned around and aimed there, but when the wraith came out, he planned to attack the target in front of him. When it is ruthless, it will be attacked by the power of flashlights and projectors...
I have to admit that these two sisters together have the ability of one plus one greater than two.
Forget it, having said that, Shizuku suspected that the so-called Obscure Moon Kagura ceremony was just a disguise.
The reason is very simple. Referring to Hishiro Mansion, Minakami Village and Kushi Family can know that sealing the gate of the underworld is a very dangerous thing, and if one accidentally makes a mistake, it will directly lead to the rhythm of group destruction. The other three places are so cautious that they want to kill everyone who has come into contact with the maiden. How dare Ozuki Island release this once-in-a-decade ritual for the public to visit?
Do you have such a big heart? Are they not afraid of accidents?
Of course, the reason why Ozuki Island dared to take out this ceremony to visit is also because this ceremony is not so cruel, it will not tear people apart, let the elder sister strangle the younger sister to death, and will not nail tattoos all over the body to death. Underground——According to the records, the so-called Obscure Moon Kagura Ceremony is similar to ordinary folk sacrificial rituals. There are five masked girls, each holding a musical instrument, and then playing Kagura, followed by a masked maiden Dance in the middle, the whole ceremony lasts a whole night.
So it seems that the only inhumane aspect of this ritual is the duration.
It's a tough night.
Moreover, these experiences of Ozutsuki Island are very wrong. According to Tsukimori Sonoka's previous statement, they witnessed the failure of the ceremony and the death of the shrine maiden. However, according to the newspaper found by Minadutsu Ryuka, it clearly stated that after the obscurity month Kagura ceremony ended that year, five girls including her, Misaki Aso and Sonoka Tsukimori disappeared mysteriously. It was found a week later. Although they lost their memory, according to the news found so far, these five girls should be returned to their parents after being found, and then their parents took them away from Obscure Moon Island.
And two years after this Obscure Moon Kagura Ceremony, all the deaths and mysterious disappearances of Obscure Tsukishima occurred.
This is also different from other places. According to the locations of the gates of the underworld that Shizuku has been to before, basically the gates of the underworld will explode immediately when the ceremony fails, completely sweeping everything around, and directly destroying you , nothing works.
But there is still a delay here?
"But, is there really a gate to the underworld here?"
"You'll know if you look for it. According to our experience, these things are usually underground..."
"enough!!!"
However, before Shizuku finished speaking, there was a burst of screaming and noise from upstairs.
"You never looked at me, ever! Why?! Why are you always like this!! I've had enough!!!"
Accompanied by the scream, there was a rush of footsteps, which gradually disappeared.
"What happened up there?"
Hearing this, everyone was taken aback, but Shizuku frowned.
"I'll go up and have a look."
After finishing speaking, she clenched her fists, bent her knees, and jumped up violently!
"boom!!!"
In an instant, Shizuku punched a hole in the fragile and old floor, and then she flew up, turned over and landed firmly on the floor of the second floor. At this moment, Shizuku realized that Rei Kurosawa and Misaki Aso were staring at him who came out from under the floor in dumbfounded expressions.
"...Miss Shizuku? You are..."
"Oh, we just heard that there seemed to be arguing above, what happened?"
Shizuku patted the sawdust on her hair, then asked. Hearing her question, Rei Kurosawa's gaze moved back and forth between the big hole in the floor and Shizuku who was beating sawdust on her body——finally decided to keep her mouth shut and ignore the problem.
"Actually... Miss Madoka and Miss Misaki had a fight just now..."
Kurosawa Rei also quickly explained the situation to Shizuku.
The second floor is the patient area, and in fact they found the rooms with their respective names written here. Obviously, they were indeed patients in this obscurity building before, and Aso Misaki seemed to have remembered something important. people. But this seemed to have dealt a great blow to Tsukimori Sonoka, she seemed quite frightened and excited, and kept yelling the name "Ayako".
Tsukimori Sonoka, who was stimulated at the time, wanted to seek comfort from Aso Misaki, but the latter pushed her away, muttering another name to herself.
As a result, Yuesen Yuanxiang completely broke out.
"You never look at me, you just use me as a substitute! I'm fed up!!"
Perhaps because of extreme fear and anger, Tsukimori Sonoka yelled at Aso Misaki and said this, then turned around and ran out.
"So that's how it is."
After learning the ins and outs from Kurosawa Rei, Shizuku also nodded. She had seen before that Tsukimori Sonoka was a bit different from Aso Misaki, and now it seems that there is obviously a contradiction between the two. At this moment, Aso Misaki was standing aside, with a complicated expression on his face, not knowing what he was thinking.
"What about Crimson?"
"Crimson was worried that something would happen to Miss Yuanxiang alone, so she followed. I will stay here and take care of Miss Misaki."
"I see."
Hearing Kurosawa Rei's answer, Shizuku nodded.
Since Crimson followed, it should be... no problem.
