A pair of ordinary-looking black rubber shoes burst out from the Death Hundred Ghost Demon Knife, and the upper of the shoes was stained with mud spots;

【Butcher's Rubber Shoes on a Rainy Night】

【Quality: Excellent】

[Use: Killer Decoration]

[Special effects: Good quality rubber shoes, increase obstacle destruction speed by 5%, increase movement speed by 5% in wet environments, and increase footstep sound by 10%.] Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info】

[Note: A pair of oversized rain boots left at the scene of the crime should be discarded by the murderer......]

And the corpse of the Hundred Ghost Demon Knife naturally couldn't escape the 'persecution' of the night owl, and he cut off the entire right ear.

- You have obtained the broken right ear.

The last to die, 'After the New Rain in the Sky Mountain', dropped a Normal-quality Mountaineering Bag.

This kind of ordinary backpack does not allow the player to access the contents as they want just by mind, does not clear the weight of the stored items, and does not have the effect of keeping some fresh things fresh, its only function is to provide the player with a storage space.

This helped the Night Stalker alleviate the current lack of storage space - he had gained a bit more in this game, the 6-compartment bag of the 'Prey Bag' was already full, and the pockets of his overalls were also full.

The original plan was to cut a human skin from the corpse of the 'Empty Mountain New Rain Queen', but before he was ready to do so, the Night Stalker remembered that he seemed to have exchanged a small knife [Ruthless Skinner] from the 'Dark Bloodline'.

He summoned the Bloodline Wheel and retrieved the strange knife that was covered in veins.

As if possessing magical powers, the knife controlled the night stalker's hand, and automatically moved on the corpse's body, and it took only a few seconds to remove a human skin from the corpse.

【Intact human skin】

[Quality: Normal]

[Usage: sundries, materials]

[Note: A piece of fresh human skin that has been cut intact and has not been damaged.] 】

'Human skin' is mainly used to make killer ornaments, such as the human skin mask worn on the face of the 'Hyakki Demon Knife'...... But only if you have the recipe for it.

……

Next, the Night Stalker cancels the prompt to leave the current scene immediately, and takes the time to find the two remaining corpses of the Death Killer in the foggy scene, and retrieves a pair of teeth and a handful of hair from the corpses, as well as two 'intact human skins' with a skinning knife

"It's finally all together."

He then walked straight north of the scene.

After coming to the vicinity of the pontoon, the night owl noticed a faint green glow under the second hole in the pontoon from right to left, and after clearing the weeds, he noticed a triangular pattern drawn on the ground, and in the center of the pattern lay a rough puppet made of clay.

In the vicinity of the pattern, there are also a number of strange scribbles, and seven figures that appear to symbolize seven objects are also arranged around the clay figure in the middle.

The surface of the clay figure in the center of the pattern glows with a faint green glow and trembles.

The night owl placed the seven organs he had collected from the corpse of the deceased according to the corresponding pattern on the ground.

The clay puppet in the middle immediately stopped trembling, and the light on the surface quickly dimmed, and after a few seconds, the clay puppet suddenly swelled as if it had been inflated.

In an instant, the doll swelled into a strange humanoid form.

Phew!

The strange man transformed from the clay puppet let out a hoarse scream, and it magically came to life.

It looked like an old man, with a strange white striped pattern painted on his face, rolled eyes, a mouth full of sharp teeth, a sleek, thin body, and long, sharp claws on his hands.

Because of its small stature, its head looks extraordinarily large, and the heavy braids wrapped around it look smooth and strange, and if you look closely, it is not difficult to see that this braid is actually made of several living poisonous snakes.

The monster in front of him is the hidden plot of the 'Pale Rose' scene, the final boss of the White Mist Village, 'Grandma', and the terrifying monster described by Blackbeard Captain Dave Dumont in his letter - 'Witch'.

But...... The grandmother who currently appears in front of the night owl is just a doppelganger of it, and she doesn't have any offensive ability except for jumping out to scare people.

In the original story, it was set here, mainly to spy on the zombie pirates ashore on the Pale Rose who would come ashore on full moon nights.

After Grandma's doppelganger existed for about ten seconds, it suddenly became stiff and motionless, and then her body began to petrify inch by inch, and then cracks began to appear on the top of her head, until it finally collapsed, and her body was shattered into pieces.

- System Prompt: You have identified a strange totem and learned the rough way to construct this type of trap. Obtain the special skill [Mastery: Totem Trap].

This skill is the ultimate reward for the plot direction of the demon in the 'Pale Rose' scene!

Night Stalker toggles the stats screen and checks out the new abilities.

【Mastery・Totem Trap】

[Type: Trap Synthesis]

[Applicable: Taught Skills (Prerequisite Episode Required)]

[Description: Fear Totem, infuses spiritual power into a puppet made of clay, and uses it to construct a simple totem trap.] When a hostile target passes by the Totem, the Totem will automatically trigger, and the Dirt Doll will transform into your appearance to scare the target. 】

This is a skill that cannot be opened from the reward box, and can only be obtained by completing the hidden plot of the current scene, and after finally recognizing the totem set under the bridge.

If the player does not complete the previous hidden story, the totem under the bridge will be invisible, and the player will not be able to detect the anomaly here.

In addition, if you don't put seven organs from seven opponents other than yourself as a sacrifice to crack the totem, the totem will not take effect.

It's hard to get this ultimate reward......

At present, the Totem Trap of the 'Mastery' level seems to have a weak effect, and can only serve a role similar to the nature of a scare box.

However, when this skill can be advanced to 'mastery' and a higher 'extreme', it will undergo a qualitative change - when the totem is triggered by a person for a short period of time, the person casting the totem can directly transfer his soul to the transformed clay puppet, and then control the puppet to attack the person who triggered the trap, and even if the puppet is defeated by the opponent's counterattack, it will not cause any damage to the skill caster.

In addition, the Totem Trap is a zero-cost trap that does not require the player to bring extra equipment, and the condition for releasing it is simply to draw a pattern on the ground, and then put a cloud of dirt in the center of the pattern to stabilize the effect.

In addition to having to obtain it in the scene of 'Pale Rose', the follow-up advancement of the skill is quite cumbersome, and the skill owner must go to the follow-up scene 'Blackwater Swamp' extended from the 'Pale Rose' to find the body of the witch 'Grandma' in order to teach the advancement.

Of course, before Grandma agrees to help you upgrade your skills, you still have to gain the trust of this old monster.
