In the real world, it was already the next morning.

Strange talk about the world's mountain basking house, second floor.

The air was filled with an unpleasant smell of rancid mildew.

Shan Ma's home is quite large, and there are many empty rooms, even if many people are accepted, but it is far from full.

The five Nagatomo Masao who entered Aokihara in the same batch are gathering in one room at the moment.

Because Xiao Pingtou has the macho behavior of smashing the strange driver with a stone, and he seems to have a close relationship with the adult who called himself Thor who appeared later, the small group of five people is now vaguely centered on him.

High school girl: "Speaking of which, are you hungry now, I realize that I have been in this other world for so long, but I don't have the slightest desire to eat."

Sister OL: "I'm the same, I'm neither hungry nor thirsty. Maybe after entering this strange world, even we have changed?"

Wolftail Youth: "I probably know that...... I just tried to talk to the other survivors here, and I got some information, but it's a little scary."

"What kind of information, you say." And all the people looked at the young man.

"That is, when we are in this world, we don't need to eat or drink at all, we only need very short rests. If we are attacked by a monster and die, we will not actually die, but will lose some of our original memories and reappear. If you die too many times, lose too many memories, or even forget who you are...... We're going to be monsters."

After the wolf-tailed youth finished speaking, everyone fell silent.

Masao Nagatomo couldn't help but recall the words that the roaring proverbs had spoken in his ear before: "Don't forget! Don't forget who you are! It's hard, but if you forget, you'll be like me!"

Halfway through, the high school girl said sullenly, "Are we really human now?"

Silence again.

Later, perhaps thinking that the atmosphere was too heavy, the chattering social animal uncle changed the topic: "That, eldest brother, what should we do next? That Lord Thor is here for us to stay, right?"

Xiao Pingtou came back to his senses.

Actually, he didn't know what to do now, so he just shook his head, "Lord Thor said he would be back."

It's just that this sentence is not enough to appease others who are restless.

Uncle Social Animal: "By the way, I just talked to the other people here. They said that every time we live here, we have to organize a worship of the mountain lady, and we have to participate in it when the time comes."

Sister OL: "Worship? But isn't that mountain grandmother right here? Do you want to worship her directly?"

Uncle Social Animal: "I don't know, that's what the man I was talking to said anyway."

Wolf-tailed youth: "So, this is the purpose of the mountain grandmother to take in us living people, let us worship her? Is there anything she can gain by doing this?"

Uncle Social Animal: "I can't say exactly, but if it's just like this, it can make people feel a little more at ease, right?" If the mountain grandmother does not have any needs and accepts the living for free, it will be even more suspicious and disturbing." ….

The five of them talked about some more things in the room, and the door that couldn't be locked was suddenly pushed open.

A strange girl who looked to be in her early 20s and wore glasses walked in naturally.

Suddenly a stranger broke into this kind of thing, and the Nagatomo Masao and the others didn't expect it, and they didn't react for a while.

Instead, the strange girl spoke first, "Oh, you guys, you look like you're new to the mountain house, right?"

At the same time, there was another low roar in Nagatomo Masao's ears: "This girl's state is a little strange! Be on your guard!"

Xiao Pingtou tried to restrain his emotions, did not show too obvious abnormalities, and looked up and down the visitor who suddenly fell down, only to feel that the other party looked like an ordinary person like his own group.

"Who are you?" The young man with the wolf tail was the first to ask questions, his face full of police

Careful.

"Me, it's okay for you to call me Lotus Seed." The girl replied calmly, "Don't be nervous, I'm here to give you newcomers a heads-up. That big monster mountain in this abode is not reliable, don't let your guard down if you live here."

"You...... This is the territory of the mountain grandmother, right?" Uncle Social Animal nervously glanced at the door.

"Don't be afraid. Every three days at this time, Grandma Shan locks herself in the kitchen and doesn't come out, she won't know what I've come here to tell you. Only then will I sneak into the mountain house."

The girl who called herself "Hasumi" waved her hand.

"Why do you say that the mountain is unreliable?" This time, it was Masao Nagatomo who asked.

"As far as I know, there is some kind of connection between the mountain grandmother and the other demon king in the sea of trees, the pig sash king, and every once in a while, the mountain grandmother will select two living people to send to the pig king. Naturally, those who go will never come back, and although you may not be attacked by those vicious monsters outside, you must be careful to become a sacrifice to the pig king."

Hasumi said this, and it seemed that his words were conclusive.

The atmosphere in the room once again dropped to freezing.

"Okay, anyway, I reminded you, and then I'm going to look to see if there are any other newcomers in the mountain grandmother's house, take care of yourself." Hasumi looked like she was going to push the door open and leave.

"Wait a minute." Changyou called out to her, "Why do you know this?"

"Of course I do. After all, I'm one of the first to be here, and I know more than all of you. Besides, I just heard at the door that the person you were talking about would turn into a monster if he dies too many times, and I told the others here in the first place."

"But why are you telling us this?"

"Why?" Hasumi laughed, her delicate eyes narrowed into a slit, "Because I'm kind-hearted—I'm gone, goodbye."

Then, the handsome girl with glasses quickly pushed the door and left.

Her footsteps could be heard in the hallway.

The appearance is very abrupt, and the departure is also very abrupt.

Looks like a very strange person.

After waiting for a while, the female high school student among the five who had not spoken since the appearance of Hasumi said tremblingly: "That sister just now, she said her name is Hasumi......"....

"You know her?"

"No, it's not...... But I used to like to read some of the weirdos about the city...... I distinctly remember that when the story of Ruyue Station first appeared on the Internet, the person who first posted that he had entered a different world and made this strange story popular on the Internet...... It's called Hasushi!"

The crowd in the room looked at each other, and they didn't know what to do at all.

Xiao Pingtou was also very distressed at this time.

The mountain grandmother here, or the girl who called herself Lianshi just now, who is more reliable?

I can't tell the difference, I really can't tell the difference.

In his opinion, in this world now, the only person who can be trusted should be the Thor-sama who has a connection with Kamiya-kun.

That's right, Kamiya-kun.

I'll have to talk to Kamiya-kun on the phone again.

……

The real world.

Hanabell High School.

"It's finally time for class." Kamiyagawa stayed up until the end of the first class in the afternoon.

Last night, in order to increase the probability of catching the Dream Eater Tapir, Zashiki Boy hung a good luck buff for the old father for a long time.

That good luck effect has been there until the dream of retiring the ape.

However, according to the skill characteristics of Shikibo, after the good luck is gone, it is time to go back to luck.

So Kamiya has been having a bad day today.

First of all, when I got up in the morning to wash, the water pipe at home suddenly burst.

After the scramble to deal with the water pipes, the tram to be taken was inexplicably delayed, and I was caught by the political and religious teachers when I came to school late

Rightly, I couldn't help but say that I was trained.

After that, I caught up with the bald math teacher to check the homework.

And Kamiyagawa was one of the ten people who were randomly checked.

But last night he was too busy dealing with the affairs of the inner world, so naturally he didn't write his homework......

"What a bad luck happened to me."

Kamiya took out his phone and looked at his status bar, and now the state of [Misfortune and Fortune Dependence] has finally been brushed off.

"But when you think about it, these trivial bad luck things are not a matter compared to the good fortune of catching the dream-eating tapir."

Kamiyagawa is still relatively optimistic by nature.

That's it?

Who hasn't taught a teacher in school?

I don't feel at ease with the dream-eating tapir in my hand like this, so I can scold me for two more rounds, or I don't have to worry about calling my parents or something.

I didn't have a ...... anyway

The last session of this afternoon is physical education.

Before class, the cooldown of the [Three Thousand Worlds] Battle Ash Technique of the short musket also improved, so Kamiyagawa directly used the [Thousand Silver Needle] to ask for a sick leave and go home early.

Anyway, he has never lacked exercise.

Physical education class is warped, and it is warped.

Now it is more important to push the progress of Aokigahara.

At present, all the preparations that can be made in the short term have been done, although it is still very inaccurate to shoot guns, but marksmanship is not something that can be practiced in a day or two.

The advanced Aokihara Shuhai touched the King of Pig Pipes and said, if you really can't beat it, you will consider other ways later.

……

"Click-click-click-"

Ugly human-faced trees with human faces covered in tree nodules on their trunks, extending misshapen branches, whipped from all directions.

Others looked like saplings that had been shaken off the body of the human-faced tree. ….

The saplings had human faces made of nodules, and tangled trunks and fibrous roots resembled legs.

They swung their misshapen roots and legs and charged at their enemies, exploding into a cloud of ghostly energy.

Kamiyagawa, whose face is covered with a mask of jealousy, and who is gently embraced by a spirit body behind him, is extremely agile.

Holding a text in his hand, the indigo knife flickered, and he easily broke through the encirclement of the branches.

After re-encircling the encirclement, he also raised the [Banshee] with his left hand.

He didn't aim at it, and fired three shots in a row in the direction of the dense dryad.

Because of the support of the power of the ghosts and gods shared by Prajna, coupled with the coordination of the body by the breathing method of Ah Qi, even if he fires with his unaccustomed left hand, Kamiya's movements are relatively smooth and his hands are very stable.

The recoil of the firearm did not affect him at all.

Bang bang bang!

Three Spirit-Breaking Iron Projectiles exploded, and the two human-faced trees immediately dissipated into ashes.

With such a dense number of targets, as long as the general direction of the shot is correct, it will always be able to hit the enemy.

At this moment, the shadows of the trees overlap on the battlefield, and other positions-

Miss Mary was already red-eyed, pulling a large red mist, and slashed all the way to the rear of the dryad with nine red spirits.

As usual, the Devouring Dog God turned into a huge flaming red ball, and rampaged through the densest spots of the human-faced tree, rolling into a ball of flames with several dryads.

Only the newcomer Dream Eater Tapir is obviously a little uncomfortable with this chaotic and violent battlefield.

Whether it's the enemy or your own people, it's a little too crazy, poof!

The tapir, which was out of step with everyone, could only follow the owner's feet weakly and helplessly, and from time to time used the ability of [Sleeping] to soothe a few nearby dryads to sleep.

It's just that the enemy hypnotized by it will not be long before they will eat the inexplicable AOE damage of their teammates, and they will be woken up, or they will be directly retired.

"It's okay, this kind of battle, after a few more experiences, you will get used to it." Kamiyagawa took the time to take care of the mood of the new employees.

"Poof?"

The snack dream tapir showed horror on his face, this kind of terrible thing will be experienced many times!?

The encounter with a large number of human-faced trees ended not long after.

Kamiyagawa's side did not suffer much damage.

Mary and Inugami, who had penetrated deep into the enemy line, were only slightly injured.

It's the kind of small wound that can be completely healed even if you don't eat candles and go back to sleep in the statue.

At the end of the battle, let Pranya Cao Fan use the characteristics of the white fat powder "medicine" to give them a simple treatment, which will not affect the action at all.

While doing the logistics work in Pranya, Kamiyagawa took the time to take a look at the situation of his equipment.

At present, only 12 of the 100 Spirit-Breaking Iron Projectiles used in the [Banshee] have been consumed.

In terms of follow-up bullets, you can find a way to do it from the official organization, and if there are raw materials [Yunling Iron Ingot], the craftsman sister also said that she can help with mass production.

As I said before, Lingtie is not too difficult to find.

So it's not a big problem.

After the rest was over, Kamiyagawa called out the little old man and recalibrated the direction of progress.

"It's going this way, right?"

"Aba! Aba!"

According to the information given by the mountain grandmother before, the king of the pig is living in a cave to the north of the sea of trees.

Head north and you should be able to find it.

Because a large number of dryads had been cleared, the little old man once again actively began to lead the way.

The master and servant trekked for nearly an hour in the sea of trees in the inner world where there was no light and no edge in sight.

The little old man who was walking in front suddenly stopped.

"Abba ......"

He lowered his voice and trotted to Kamiyagawa's side, not shouting as loudly as before.

There must be something going on around here.

Kamiyagawa took a text and looked around.

In addition to the trees and trees, they are lush and shaded, and the dense shade of the trees is connected into patches, casting only a penetrating sense of coldness.

But if you feel it seriously, you can smell a foul smell in the air here.

The smell was different from that of the mountain grandmother's house, and although it was also rancid, it seemed to be more filthy and evil.

"Are we near King Pigs' territory?"

Kamiya tightened the handle of the sword a little.

Speaking of which, in the nearly half-hour journey in the second half of the journey just now, he basically didn't encounter any tree sea monsters.

In this area, there should be a big monster with enough strength to deter them from approaching.
