012 The Ama's Room
"It hurts! I lost, what were those things just now? ”
Kamiyagawa, whose consciousness has returned to reality, swayed up from the ground.
The moment of death in the game just happened too quickly, and he was dazed for a while after his head hit the ground, and before he could react at all, the person was directly gone.
He held up his phone and saw the big word "dish" on the screen.
Kamiyagawa: ......
Okay, the previous death prompt was just a yin and yang weirdness, and now it's a direct personal attack, right?
What a new type of cyber violence.
Kamiyagawa naturally didn't bother with the prompts that popped up in the game, so he bent down and picked up the newly brushed dead paper figure on the ground first.
Strange Tales is a game that has been played for a few days now, and a lot of the content and features are already available.
For example, this substitute for the dead paper man.
Not only can you save a life in the game, but it can also come in handy when it is consumed and dropped into reality, that is, - to perform an autopsy on yourself.
The surface of the paper figure is wet, corresponding to the ending of the game that was dragged into the water just now.
However, Kamiyagawa should not have been drowned just now.
It can be seen that on the body of the paper figure, there are also dense bite marks. These marks are very realistically reconstructed, and they look like the teeth marks of a beast.
"That's right, I was bitten to death by something that jumped out of the water." Kamiyagawa put the paper figure away.
Then he took out the newly obtained item [Mirage Cloth Bag].
The tan cloth bag has a faint salty and wet smell, like the smell of the sea breeze. A red rope is tied around the mouth of the bag, which looks about the same size as a crossbody bag on the surface, but there is something else inside.
Exactly the same as in the game.
Kamiyagawa opened the [Mirage Cloth Bag], and there were only two small salted dried fish left.
"The salted dried fish I took out was consumed...... So, those dark shadows in the artificial lake in the game are some kind of weird talk about people who love to eat salted dried fish? ”
……
"Weird, humanoid, aquatic, loves salted dried fish."
In the evening, after returning home from his part-time job, Kamiyagawa began to Google with these words as keywords, trying to find out the true body of the monster in the artificial lake.
However, it may be that the search vocabulary is too vague, and it will not find any useful clues for a while.
On the other hand, it's also because there are so many types of weirdos, yokai, and yakki in Japan. There are even majors such as yokai studies in universities, which are used to study folk culture.
In the vast number of demons and monsters, relying on a few vague words to search for one of them is really a bit difficult for non-professionals.
Searching and searching, Kamiyagawa finally wandered into the forum again.
A forum called "Strange Talk and Hundred Ghost Friends", this forum has a large number of active users, tens of thousands of people, and it seems that most of them are supernatural enthusiasts.
"Since you can't find it, why don't you ask the amazing netizens?"
Out of the mentality that he won't get pregnant after giving it a try, Kamiyagawa registered an account with the ID of "Honest Stranger" and posted a request for help on the forum.
[Honest Foreigner]: "Meng Xin asks for help." Is there such a strange story, living in the water, the appearance is probably humanoid, very fast, and very powerful. Maybe you like salted dried fish? ”
After the post was sent, no one responded.
Well...... It's quite normal for a newcomer to have a sinking post.
Kamiyagawa didn't pay much attention to it, put down his phone and went to take a shower.
I really can't figure out what those things in the artificial lake are, just let it go, and then talk about it, anyway, he doesn't have the idea of exploring under the artificial lake for the time being.
He couldn't handle the headless high school students on the shore, let alone underwater.
The monsters in the water and the headless high school students are obviously not of the same level. When it comes to the hatred of the headless JK and DK, Kamiyagawa's small body can still race against them for a distance before dying.
When you find a small dried fish by the artificial lake, you will be directly hit by the monster in the water in an instant.
The monster in the lake is too fierce and the water is too deep for Kamiya River to grasp.
After taking a shower and washing and drying clothes, Kamiyagawa returned to the bed and picked up his phone, and saw a notification on the forum that a message had been replied to.
Click on it and take a look, it was a forum level Lv6 boss account that replied to him.
The opponent's ID is [Purple Above].
[Above the Purple]: "Hello. According to your description, there is one type of youkai that roughly fits the above characteristics - the ama room. ”
In addition to this answer, the other party also thoughtfully PO a few pictures below.
There are screenshots of online literature, and there are also a few book contents taken with a camera, all about the ama room -
The sea lady room, also called the sea lady.
Legend has it that she is the wife of the owner of the Great Youkai Kaibo.
The ama room is fish-tailed and amphibious, and often haunts the sixteen islands near Shimane Prefecture.
The illustrations in the content of the materials are some of the drawings of the ama room like a mermaid, and some of which are drawn to ...... Uh, about the same as a water monkey?
Anyway, the similarities are all fishtail humanoids with webbed hands.
The difference is that the former depicts the upper body of the ama room as a glamorous, unobtrusive young woman. The latter is painted in the form of an ape with wet hair.
The ama is a sea monster who loves to eat fish, especially salted fish, and often steals the catch of fishermen.
Legend has it that the fishermen would use many large stones to hold down the nets in order to prevent the ama from succeeding, but these heavy boulders could not overwhelm the ama house, and this kind of monster was surprisingly strong and always easily moved the stones away to steal the fish in the net.
"It seems to be the right number."
Kamiyagawa looked at the information given by [Purple Above] and gently pressed his teeth against his thumb knuckle to think.
The only problem is that the data shows that the ama room is supposed to be a monster living in the ocean. But in the game world, it was encountered in the artificial lake area of the school.
However, there is an undercurrent channel at the bottom of the artificial lake in the game, which may connect to a certain area of the ocean. Maybe you can open a new map from there in the future. ”
Kamiyagawa first expressed his gratitude to the big guy [Purple Above] for answering questions and solving doubts in the post.
After that, I clicked on the other party's avatar and opened the private chat dialog box.
[Honest Stranger]: "Can I ask you another question?" ”
[Above the Purple]: "Hello. ”
[Above the Purple]: "Yes." ”
Because I just replied to Kamiyagawa's post, the other party is still online, and the reply is very fast.
It seems that he is a warm-hearted big guy who loves love.
[Honest Stranger]: "Is there such a strange story, which looks like a JK or DK wearing a student uniform and not having a head?" ”
This time, it took about seven or eight minutes before there was a reply in the private chat dialog.
[Purple Above]: "You should be talking about Xiqi Boy, who is said to be a low-level spirit born in the negative emotions of young students, very weak and not very aggressive. ”
[Above the Purple]: "It's a very unpopular, weird talk with no sense of existence." That's all I could find. ”
"Dare to love those headless high school students called Xiqi Boys." Kamiyagawa muttered to himself while paying attention to this strange and knowledgeable [Purple Above] boss.
That's why I like to surf the Internet.
Netizens know a lot and speak well.
However, the strange talk that the Xiqi boy is weak and not aggressive is okay?
I, the young co-master of ghosts and gods, were pressed to the ground and quacked and killed.
"Sure enough, I'm too weak and don't have the strength."
It's decided, go to the red ghost of the kendo department early tomorrow morning to learn the sword!
