Grandma Shan continued, "The madness and aggression of the Devil are as good as those strange things without wisdom. Wife, I kill and eat fish, that's a great thing. Do you say, sir? ”

Kamiyagawa glanced up at her, didn't say anything, and didn't say anything.

But—

When a living person enters the inner world and experiences a few more "deaths", the living soul will be completely separated from the body, and the skin left in the strange world will slowly turn into a monster.

Kamiyagawa carefully looked at the expression on Grandma Guoshan's face when she said this just now, and it didn't feel like she was lying.

As mentioned in the optional quest of [Rugetsu Station], the state of existence of a living person changes greatly after entering the inner world.

And the part of the stupid and stupid people I saw in the corridor of the mountain basking house, now that I think about it, there is a high probability that there are too many "deaths" in the inner world, and most of the souls are lost, so they will become like that.

And Changyou, the mutilated creature that wrapped around him probably came from here.

These evidences are all in the evidence that what Shan Mao said is true.

"But then again, every time a living person dies here, a part of the living soul is peeled off. The creature on Xiao Pingtou's body, although it is a little broken, but the overall outline is quite complete, and it has to be slowly pieced together in the death after death. ”

"That creature can remain in this process for a long time without dissipating, until it finds a good basis for Xiao Pingtou, which means that it should have been quite strong, and maybe it will be a soul killer. You'll need to keep an extra eye on it. ”

Kamiyagawa thought to himself.

At this time, the mountain lady on the other side spoke again: "This lord, you brought five people to come to the old woman and me, it should not be just to listen to such a little bit of information about the fish, right?" If there's anything I'd like to ask, I know everything. ”

Kamiya Shin said that this old lady was quite direct.

However, he knew very well that the information here was definitely not shared with him for free.

If it was really completely free, without any price, he would be a little uneasy.

When the conversation is almost over, there is a high probability that the other party will put forward some conditions, or directly entrust a side quest.

The neutral weirdos he encountered in the world of weird talk were basically like this.

Because he was familiar with this process, Kamiya was not polite, and asked directly: "What is the way for these living people trapped in Aokihara to leave here and return to their world?" ”

"Hey, that's the first question for me. If I knew, I would have sent them out a long time ago, and it would be annoying to stay with me and watch. But if I want to say that since they came in through that ghost platform, the method of leaving must have something to do with that platform. If you want to send the living out, you might as well investigate in this direction. Anyway, I don't bother to move to do such a troublesome thing, old woman. ”

"That's right." Kamiya nodded, "By the way, why did you shelter those living people?" ”

"Because my wife and son have a good heart, I can't see them suffering."

"Really?"

"Whew-" The mountain grandmother let out a slightly oozing strange grin, and at the same time tore a large piece of meat from the roasted leg and stuffed it into her mouth:

"Why do you knowingly ask? What is your purpose in helping these living people? I guess it's the same with me, right? Don't look at the old woman and me, I can be regarded as half a mountain god. In the future, if I have the opportunity to enter the world of those living people, I still want to enjoy their incense offerings. It may not be possible to shelter these living people, but I will not take the initiative to harm them. ”

"Those living people can stay here if they want to, and leave if they want, and I don't care about the old woman at all. But because I'm here, most of the unwise weirdos don't dare to come near here. The safety of those who are alive can be guaranteed to a certain extent, that's all. ”

"Hmm." Kamiyagawa thought for a moment.

I think this reason is quite acceptable.

He knew that in the real world, the official Soul Exorcist Organization maintained a certain connection with some neutral or friendly powerful Strangers.

Even some powerful friendly visits will be carried out by the official and enter some shrines under the name of a person to enjoy the incense and faith in the world.

The mountain lady in front of her seems to want to develop in this direction.

So it's understandable that she's neutral toward the people trapped in Aokigahara.

In addition, the mountain grandmother seems to have a preconceived idea of the Kamiya River, who sent Nagasmo and others to the mountain grandmother's residence, as a companion.

That's fine.

It's better than explaining to her that I'm doing it for the task.

"Is there any powerful weirdness in this area of Aokigahara?"

"Naturally, there are, and they are varied. But to say the strongest of them...... It's not boasting, I'm barely one of the old women. The other is the King of Pig Pipes who lives in a cave north of Jukai. ”

King of Pig Pipes.

This strange tale Kamiyagawa is a little unfamiliar.

I only remember that in the corresponding legends, it seems to be a spirit made of a mountain boar.

Because he was injured by a human hunter, he had great malice towards people after becoming a spirit, and on December 20 every year, he would appear to eat people on a large scale.

In short, it's similar to the earth spiders that retired before, and they are all extremely vicious monsters.

However, in Japan, there used to be some places where Inosashi was worshipped as the god of the forest.

"After all, I'm stepping into a higher-level map. The big monsters here, like the mountain basking and the pig pipe king, have begun to have a bit of folk gods in the background stories. ”

But Kamiyagawa was also a little surprised.

Why didn't Yama talk about Yamahiko?

Obviously, the main task given to me by "Strange Tales of Things" is to retire the B-level fallen mountain in this area.

After thinking about it, Kamiya asked again, "This pig pipe king, is it powerful?" ”

"It's not a question of whether it's strong or not...... But if I have to say it, it's probably a B grade. ”

B-level, an echelon with the final boss to be fought in this area.

I'm afraid it's a bit tricky.

In addition, Yama doesn't seem to have a tendency to visit at the moment, and Kamiyagawa can't judge her strength through the system, but since she puts herself and the King of Pig Pipes together, her rating is estimated to be around the B level.

"In this sea of trees, are there any other strange things to care about?"

Grandma Shan suddenly stopped chewing on the flesh of her legs, raised her hand and wiped the saliva and blood from the corner of her mouth: "What does this adult refer to?" Except for me and the pig king, other strange talk probably can't get into your eyes. ”

Kamiyagawa: ......

Aoki Sea hero, only the pig king, me and Jun'er, right?

Probably because of the [Oni Leather Coat], Kamiyagawa felt that Yama's evaluation of himself was also a little inflated.

After a pause, he asked again, "Aren't there any of the like in the sea of trees?" ”

Grandma Shan's long fat face showed a look of confusion: "I've never heard of it." ”

That's a little weird.

But Kamiyagawa also felt that since "Strange Tales of Strange Things" gave the task of retreating from the fallen Yamahiko, then this kind of strange talk should exist here.

When he was confused, Grandma Shan put down the roasted leg on her shoulder, and laughed again: "This lord, if you want to finish asking all the questions, then I will dare to make a deal with you, old woman." ”

It's coming, see you in the dagger.

"You say."

"Whew." Grandma Shan's fat lips grinned, "My lord, can you help the old woman and me—kill the King of Pig Pipes?" ”
