The area of the worship hall where they are located is not very large. Several people then found a relatively empty and clean place to sit down.
"We'll stay here until tomorrow morning." The girl in the yellow skirt said, looking at the blurred row of tablets behind her and the cash box in the center of the worship hall, "It stands to reason that as long as you walk into the torii gate, you will arrive at A place that will be watched by the gods. We are sitting here, if Qingzi is not... dead tomorrow morning."
She glanced at the girl in the blue skirt and said, "This proves that hiding here is effective. Early the next morning, those of us who survived the longest left the shrine, bought meals and luggage in the town and brought them back." .After this, we will hide here until the end of the nine days."
In any case, this seems to be the only way.
Lin Huai sat cross-legged on the floor. He noticed a rope on the money box, so he went to the old man and asked, "What is that rope used for?"
"You said this? This is for ringing the bell." The old man glanced at it and said, "After putting in the coin, pull the bell to ring the bell, and the gods enshrined here will notice our existence."
Lin Huai nodded thoughtfully.
He glanced at Qingzi, who was sitting in a corner, staring blankly at the rope used to ring the bell. The girl in the yellow skirt sat beside her, holding her cold palm with her own.
There is nothing to see in the hall of worship except for some illegible tablets. Lin Huai walked out of the worship hall, and his eyes fell on the well in the courtyard again.
He walked towards the well step by step. Thick moss grows on the side of the well, and the mouth of the well is made of stone bricks. For some reason, the closer she got to it, Lin Huai felt her own heart beating harder. There seemed to be something in the mouth of the dark well, calling for him to approach.
There must be something hiding in this well.
Lin Huai went to the well. He thought for a moment, then put his arm into the well.
This is what Chu Tianshu saw when he came out of the worship hall. He saw Lin Huai squatting by the well, stretching his entire arm into the well in an extremely twisted posture, so he twitched his eyebrows and said, "What are you doing?"
"Try fishing." Lin Huai said, "I try to use my human body to attract a ghost to grab my hand... Don't you think this kind of well is suitable for a ghost?"
Chu Tianshu: ...
"I have a way to confirm whether there are ghosts inside." Chu Tianshu said.
Lin Huai:
Then he just watched Chu Tianshu take out ten cans from his package...
Canned herring.
"Wait, why do you have such a thing in your hand?" Lin Huai's pupils trembled.
Chu Tianshu: "Draw it from the system carousel. A group of twenty-four."
Lin Huai: "..."
Chu Tianshu: "Besides that, I also smoked blue cheese, snail powder set, accompanying bean juice, zheergen..."
Lin Huai covered her nose, and took a step back with vacant eyes.
Thinking about his luck of only being able to extract stones and sand, Lin Huai didn't know for a moment whether his luck was worse or Chu Tianshu's luck was worse.
Chu Tianshu set up a pot on the mouth of the well that would generate heat for cooking. He found two more gas masks from the package, covered himself and Lin Huai respectively, and then...
He opened ten cans one by one.
At that moment, Lin Huai seemed to hear a scream coming from the bottom of the well, like some kind of blood-weeping roar. Chu Tianshu poured six cans of herring into the pot, and turned on the cooking button of the pot. Then he placed the remaining four open cans of herring one by one around the well.
After finishing all this, he said with satisfaction to Lin Huai, who was looking upright: "Let's go around the shrine first, if we come back later, the pot will be overturned..."
Lin Huai: ...
Chu Tianshu: "It means there are unbearable ghosts inside."
Lin Huai twitched the corner of his mouth: "Then what if the pot is gone?"
"It means that there are ghosts who like to eat canned herring." Chu Tianshu said confidently.
The two were about to act, but the good old man inside the worship hall ran out. He held his nose and broke down: "What the hell are you two doing? This smell..."
"We are trying to exorcise ghosts." Chu Tianshu patted him on the shoulder and said heartily, "Sometimes the pursuit of justice requires a price."
Good old man: ...
He smelled the place where he was photographed by Chu Tianshu, showing a broken expression.
Lin Huai and Chu Tianshu left the worship hall, and also left the stinking dry well. While walking in the shrine, Chu Tianshu said: "It's strange, when I entered the shrine just now, I always felt the coolness around me, and there was a vague yin... as if someone was following me. Why? But now you don’t notice it at all?” Lin Huai held his nose in the gas mask and said speechlessly, “If I were a ghost, I wouldn’t want to follow a victim who smells like canned herring.”
Chu Tianshu suddenly realized: "It turned out that the smell of canned herring covered the anger of a living person in me."
"I think it's because of your stench all over your body." Lin Huai complained.
The two walked in the shrine with one glance at each other. There are forests on both sides of the shrine. When passing one of the torii gates, Lin Huai asked, "What is this?"
He pointed to a building next to the torii.
"This is the water house, which is used for worshipers to clean themselves before worship," Chu Tianshu said.
Lin Huai glanced at it, and suddenly had a bold idea: "Tell me, can you use the water here to wash off the orthographic characters on your body?"
"Probably not, this shrine is full of weirdness. And you only pulled out three sets of women's clothing from the turntable, and these three sets of women's clothing have nothing to do with the shrine." Chu Tianshu suddenly seemed to remember something. , he looked on both sides, saw that there was no smoke, touched his nose and said, "Forget it, you should give it a try."
Lin Huai:
He glanced at Chu Tianshu suspiciously, then lowered his body to look at the clear water in the pool. Then, he heard Chu Tianshu say:
"Let me try it for you."
Lin Huai: ...
"You just want to take advantage of the opportunity!!" Lin Huai complained.
…
After coming out of Shou Shui She, Chu Tianshu had a lump on his head that was beaten out by Lin Huai. He scratched his head and said, "Ah...it seems to be impossible."
Lin Huai glanced at him, shrugged and said, "Don't waste your effort."
Chu Tianshu:
"Anyway, it's in the dungeon now, and you can't do much." Lin Huai complained, "Why are you so cruel to yourself?"
Chu Tianshu: ...
When the two returned to the worship hall, the yard was still full of stench. As they entered, it was evident that a trembling, battered ghost hand, which was trying to push the pot away from the well, recoiled feebly at the sound of their voices.
Chu Tianshu glanced at the NPCs in the worship hall on the other side, and said brightly: "We saved those NPCs again."
Lin Huai: ...
Lin Huai twitched the corners of his mouth. He saw a house surrounded by a wooden fence behind the worship hall, so he asked Chu Tianshu, "What is that?"
"The house inside is the main hall, and the fence that wraps it is called Yuyuan." Chu Tianshu replied, "The inside of the main hall is a place for worshiping gods. Generally speaking, only special visitors who have made an appointment with the shrine owner can enter the main hall. Ordinary people are not allowed to enter the main hall." enter."
Lin Huai let out an "oh". He looked in through the fence, followed Chu Tianshu into the worship hall.
The rest of the people were still in the worship hall, seeing the two people coming in, the good old man closed the doors and windows tightly again. Chu Tianshu was greatly surprised by this: "Are you so afraid of those ghosts?"
"What we are afraid of is not ghosts, but the smell outside!" the old man complained loudly.
Lin Huai gave them a sympathetic look, Chu Tianshu scratched his head embarrassedly, and said, "I'll go out and deal with it."
With that said, he walked out the door. The bloody hand protruding from the bottom of the well had just climbed to the top of the well when Chu Tianshu picked up the still hot pot—
And poured all the boiled canned herring into the well.
There was a shrill ghostly cry from the well. With sharp eyes and quick hands, Chu Tianshu put the pot upside down on the well. Then, he turned his head and said cheerfully: "We just eliminated the first danger."
Good old man: ...
Night gradually fell. Perhaps because the shrine is in the mountains, the outdoor temperature dropped sharply. Several people sat around together, waiting for tomorrow's arrival with trepidation. Lin Huai rested his chin, staring at the figure of the good old man, still thinking about the movie.
He can preliminarily determine that the key to breaking the game is the camera. This group of NPCs originally wanted to teach him a prank horror movie about his identity, but they didn't expect the horror movie to become a reality.
Since horror movies can be true, can "true" be horror movies
The car he saw when he first came to Ruyue Town flashed before Lin Huai's eyes again. In that car sat Lin Huai and other people who were laughing and laughing. They didn't suffer from terror, and their eyes were full of joy.
Perhaps this is the hint—at the moment of entering Kisaragi Town, the world of horror movies intersects with the world of real horror movies. What he needs to do is to survive in the world in the horror movie, and finally return to the real world after finishing the movie.
"But what should I do?" Lin Huai thought.
What exactly marks the end of the movie
Lin Huai thought to no avail. At this moment, the girl in the red dress suddenly said: "Mr. Xiao Lin, do you have money?"
"what?"
The girl in the red dress then explained: "We just thought that according to the general process of worshiping gods, as long as we put some money in the charity box and pull the bell, the gods will notice us who come to worship. If this is the case, each of us I have all the money ready to put into the charity box, and whenever there is an accident, I will pull the rope... "
As she spoke, she pointed to the coin in her hand. Only then did Lin Huai notice that when he was thinking just now, several people took out their own coins.
Lin Huai then nodded. The girl in the red dress left. Perhaps because they were in the shrine, the complexions of several people improved a lot. Lin Huai didn't see Chu Tianshu in the crowd. Just as he was about to speak, he heard Chu Tianshu coming from behind him and whispered to him, "Lin Huai, come here."
He seemed to have been observing the interior of the worship hall. Lin Huai went with him and heard Chu Tianshu say, "From just now, I think this shrine is very strange."
"eccentric?"
"The layout of this shrine, the feeling of this shrine, and that well..." Chu Tianshu raised his head, his face was a little scary under the dark moonlight, "Do you know? The shrine…”
Lin Huai: "Hey, Chu Tianshu, what other shrines are there in this world?"
Chu Tianshu: ...
He gave up his pretense and continued: "There is another kind of shrine in this world, not for worship, but for..."
"Suppression."
At that moment, the candles in the entire worship hall were extinguished! Instead, Lin Huai saw many figures reflected on the doors and windows outside the door!
Countless scorched figures were lying on the doors and windows, staring into the worship hall!
"what!"
Screams sounded from where several NPCs were, followed by messy footsteps.
"ghost!"
"There are ghosts outside the worship hall!"
"Don't be afraid, they can't get in here..."
"God! Find God!"
A man screams, followed by the sound of coins being dropped into a charity box. At that moment, Lin Huai's spine suddenly went cold, and he realized something.
Invest in charity and ring the bell to get the attention of the gods.
But what if what is enshrined here is not a god... but to suppress evil spirits
"Boom!"
He heard the sound of the bell being rung.
