Gamers Are Fierce - Chapter 1061

[Chapter 60 Lantern (4K)]

“…Okay.”

Wang Congshan sighed and also got into the cloak.

I saw the lion skin trembling a few times, slowly propped up, and moved toward the corridor. From time to time, “Don’t step on my feet.” “Slow down, I can’t keep up!” class sound.

The two were noisily and entered the corridor with the lion’s skin.

The lanterns hanging in the atrium shine brightly on the lion dance.

Most of the light is refracted by the mirror fragments on the surface of the lion dance.

A small amount of light shines through, causing the places that are not covered by the mirror fragments to grow. Formless, dark shadows visible to the naked eye.

Inside the lion dance, Li Ang and Wang Congshan could clearly feel that the weight of the lion skin above was growing strangely

.

Li Ang was already prepared for this, he picked up the heart ape stick, aimed one end at the lion’s head and the other at the lion’s tail,

injected spiritual power into the heart ape, made the stick grow slightly, and stopped the lion dance from rolling inwards.

At the same time, three steps and two Step forward, dash forward, cross the entire corridor, and rush to the atrium.

Holding the heart ape stick in his hand, he swung it forward, turning the whole lion skin forward, forming a mirror in mid-air, which was aimed at the lantern.

As the distance got closer, Li Ang was able to see the shape of the lantern in more detail.

The lantern is oval in shape as a whole, with bamboo strips woven into a skeleton, with white paper attached to the outside, and the surface of the paper is painted with a neat flower pattern.

This lantern is not unique.

The atrium of the Hiratsuka Mansion is in the shape of a “匚”, with semi-open corridors on three sides, and one side is open to the open air, leading to the courtyard.

On the other three beams and columns in the “匚”-shaped atrium area, there are also three similar lanterns.

But only this one, the light is extraordinarily bright,

and the shadow cast on the surface of the lantern paper is also a bit strange.

With the help of the [Expanded Vision] ability, Li Ang was able to see what the inside of the lantern looked like – it was not a candle, but a shriveled man’s head that was compressed into dried sugar cane.

Although it is hard to imagine what kind of weird power is needed to twist the human body into this shape,

the skin, muscles, and bones of this human head are indeed compressed into candle-like strips,

and the facial features on the entire face are Compressed into a diamond shape, two shriveled eyes are wide open, one up and one down, and the bottom is a slash-like mouth.

It looks like this:

?.

√

The hair on the shriveled head, like the wick of a candle, continues to burn, with no sign of shortening at all.

In the blink of an eye, Li Ang found that no matter whether he interfered directly with his psychic energy or created a breeze with his psychic energy,

he could not put out the candle, so he immediately changed his strategy and

continued to flip the lion dance skin, covering it on the surface of the lantern, and stood on tiptoe. , pulled and pulled with both hands, tied a bow, and wrapped the lantern round and round, not revealing a trace of light.

All this happened in one breath, Li Ang pulled the two ends of the lion skin bow with both hands, held his breath, and waited for half a minute.

Nothing happened, and

through the lion’s skin, the two could hear the very slight sound of hair burning from the lantern.

Wang Congshan hesitated: “This is… solved?”

“Probably.”

Li Ang nodded, hugged the lantern gently and pulled it, and found that the lantern was firmly hanging on the seemingly unstable beam and column support, motionless , had to give up.

Originally, he planned to take away this lantern with peculiar effects. If he encounters ghosts in the future, he might be able to cosplay Perseus with Medusa’s head and

release the lantern to fight against the enemy, which may have miraculous effects.

“There are normal candles in the other three lanterns, not human heads.”

Li Ang glanced around and found that there were some dim bloodstains on the ground below the beams and pillars on which the human-headed lanterns were hung. The bloodstains were ray-shaped, pointing to Inside the atrium.

On the back side of the atrium is a semi-open tea room, which serves as a place for entertaining guests to drink tea. In

the open space in front of the tea room, some decorations are placed.

For example, a stone basin filled with water, a bamboo tube with water flowing and making noises from time to time, etc.

Li Ang glanced at it, and immediately found the doubt, frowned, strode down the steps, stepped into the courtyard, and came to the seesaw-like bamboo tube.

The installation, called Luwei (ししおどし),

usually consists of a water delivery system and a bamboo tube that is heavy at one end and light at the other.

The water delivery system will continue to pump water from the ground like a fountain, and

pour it on the chopped bamboo tube.

When the bamboo tube is full of water, it will tilt to one end due to gravity and land on the stone, making a “pop”. The sound, pours out the water,

and then restores it again because the center of gravity changes, becoming a tilted state, until the water is full again, and it continues to make sounds, and the cycle begins again and again.

“Luwei” was originally an agricultural tool that was installed in the farmland by the Japanese island to drive away birds and beasts by making sounds to protect the farmland.

It was later used in Japanese gardens as a landscape design, also known as adding water.

However, Li Ang’s attention was not on adding water, but on the other stones behind the water filling device.

“These stones are called ‘squatting’, which are the devices used by the Nishima Tea Room to wash the hands of the host and guests, and are also an integral element of the landscape design of the Nishima Tea Room.

A complete set of squatting can be different according to the function, shape and height of the stone. ,

divided into hand water bowl, front stone, hand candle stone, soup bucket stone, and water gate.”

In the regular clicking sound of the water filling device, Li Ang squatted down, pointed to the stone, and introduced to Wang Congshan: “The hand water bowl is for the guests of the tea room to drink. Before tea, the place where you scoop water and wash your hands is usually hollowed out in the middle.

The front stone is the place to sit and absorb, the hand candle stone is the place to put lights at night, the

soup bucket stone is used for hot water in winter, and

the water gate, also called the sea, is the Responsible for water absorption.

The Hiratsuka family is a local aristocratic family, and the

design of the courtyard is one word, exquisite.

Their tea garden not only uses the most complete set of squatting, but also adds a set of so-called equipment below, which can further shape the ‘Zen’. Li Ang pointed to a pile of rocks under the squatting system and said, ”

The pebbles below the squatting system are all gray in color,

and there is a vertical bamboo tube inserted in the middle of the pebbles.

This installation is called ‘Shuiqin Cave’, and

the bottom It is hollow and excavated into the shape of a hanging bell, or a copper pot shape or a niche lamp shape.

Internal water storage,

when the water in the bamboo tube flows out, it will first flow into the hand water bowl.

If the water in the hand water bowl is full, the extra water Water will follow the water gate stone and

penetrate into the Shuiqin Grotto.

Since the interior of the Shuiqin Grotto is hollow, the sound of dripping water will be amplified, and the frequency will be slower than that of the water filling device.

The bamboo tube above is used to further amplify Voice – In order to further pursue Zen, there are also Hijima scholars who specialize in research,

What shape should the Shuiqin Cave be shaped into, whether the material inside is stone or pottery, the height of the water and the frequency of the sound are more appropriate. ”

Hey, really, capped.” ”

Wang Congshan smacked her lips, and also found the problem, “Well… the stone of this Shuiqin cave seems to have been cut open?”

The bamboo tube that was originally inserted in the water gate stone was also pulled out and thrown aside. ”

“Hmm. Li Ang nodded and said in a relaxed tone: ”

The disaster that befell the Hiratsuka family happened almost instantly.

They even had half-eaten meals on the table, too late to run.

Under such circumstances, how could there be a leisurely mood to renovate the Shuiqin Grotto.

Unless the disaster struck, someone fled to the bottom of the Shuiqin Cave and hid.

Stand away and cover me. ”

“What are you going to do?”

Wang Congshan stood aside with a pistol in his hand, while Li

Ang picked up the Heart Ape stick and pushed aside the water gate stone in the pit. As

the cobblestone was pushed aside, a large hole was revealed in the pit, revealing a bell-shaped water piano cave. ,

and in the Shuiqin Cave, a corpse in a squatting position, wearing children’s clothing and holding a schoolbag.

Perhaps because of the accumulation of water in the Shuiqin Cave,

the upper part of the corpse was dry and withered, and the lower half was swollen and rotten. There was an unpleasant smell.

Wang Congshan’s heart trembled, “Be careful! Li Ang waved his hand ,

indicating that there was no need to worry,

he approached the large hole in the Shuiqin Grotto without changing his face, and carefully examined the shape of the corpse in it.

The corpse was only about seven or eight years old when he died. He was wearing a school uniform and had no obvious injuries. He was holding an orange schoolbag in his arms, the zipper of the schoolbag was half open.

Li Ang groaned and put the stick of the heart ape into the Shuiqin cave, and the heart ape passed through the strap on the side of the schoolbag, and

gently picked it up, and picked the orange schoolbag out of the Shuiqin cave.

As the schoolbag was picked out, the arms of the corpse also fell, but there was no further change.

Li Ang asked Wang Congshan to point the gun at the corpse, while he gently opened the half-open zipper of his schoolbag.

In the schoolbag, there are elementary school textbooks, test papers, stationery

and other items. Like other items in the script world, the text on the textbook and the test paper is relatively vague. There is only one full score on the surface of the mathematics test paper, and the handwriting is clear and clear. , The owner of the test paper is Hiratsuka Yuo, studying in Class A of the second year of Yuanke Elementary School.

Li Ang skipped the math questions on the test paper, and found that on the back of the test paper, there were a lot of crooked words written in pencil.

[Who will save me] [It’s so dark

here]

[Uncle, aunt, mother, grandfather, brother, they are all dead]

[A scary monster crawled out of the well]

[Dad said he would protect me and let me be here Hide well, don’t make a sound, he will find someone to help]

[I’m so scared, my father still hasn’t come back]

[It’s so cold]

[It’s so crowded]

Exchange good books, pay attention to the vx public account. [Book Friends Base Camp]. Follow now and get cash red envelopes!

[It’s so uncomfortable, I want to lie down]

[I’m so hungry]

[I’m so hungry]

[I’m so hungry]

“These should be what Hiratsuka Yuo experienced before he died.”

Li Ang frowned and gave Wang Congshan a look at the test paper, and said, “Remember the note pads that the character I played, Tetsuya Ogasawara, was carrying?

There were several pictures on the pads, each wearing armor. , A samurai holding a sword and wearing a Prajna mask;

a stone well under a twisted withered tree;

a torii house set up on the mountainside; the

samurai corresponds to the legend of the Enke Village, and the torii corresponds to the edge we saw before. The torii gate of the shrine is engraved,

and the well mentioned by Yuo Hiratsuka should correspond to the stone well under the dead tree.”

“Well…”

Wang Congshan nodded slowly, “The paper of this test paper is wrinkled and covered with quilts. After soaking, the traces of drying again.

It should be a disaster, some monster ran out of the well and attacked the Hiratsuka family.

The Hiratsuka family suffered heavy casualties, and

Yuo Hiratsuka’s father took him to escape and let him hide in the water koto cave.

In the end, his father probably suffered misfortune, and Hiratsuka Yuo was trapped here alive.”

“It’s another tragedy.”

Li Ang spread his hands, “Let’s go…”

His words suddenly stopped, Under the blessing of psychic perception enhancement, he seemed to hear the burning sound of the human head lantern, and it rang a little.

Could it be…

Li Ang narrowed his eyes, patted his palm, and said to Wang Congshan, “It’s too pitiful to put Yuo Hiratsuka here, shall we bury him?”

“Eh?”

Wang Congshan was stunned for a moment. Li Ang is not a kind person who likes to help grandma cross the road for free and give up his seat to grandfather on the bus. What

drives him to do things, besides money, is his own interest and bad taste.

In such a crisis-ridden scripted world, any action may lead to unknown consequences.

How could he suddenly have the leisure to bury the corpse?

Thinking so, Wang Congshan didn’t object. She also felt that it was not good to leave the child’s corpse in the water-filled Shuiqin cave.

Li Ang used a stick to pick out the body of Yuo Hiratsuka from the Shuiqin Cave. He and Wang Congshan found a piece of land in the courtyard, dug a hole, and put Yuao Hiratsuka’s body and his schoolbag in it. Among them,

after pushing the soil, the bamboo tube used for the water filling device was engraved with the name of Hiratsuka Yuo on it, and it was placed in front of the grave as a tombstone.

Almost at the moment when Li Ang inserted the bamboo tube in front of the grave, the lantern in the courtyard corridor wrapped in the skin of the lion dance made a slight “click” sound.

Li Ang and Wang Congshan looked at each other, walked to the lantern, slowly loosened the skin of the lion dance, and

found that the light emitted by the lantern had become much darker and was no longer aggressive,

and the candle with the human head inside the lantern also seemed to be closed. on the eyes.

“This should be the father of Yuo Hiratsuka.”

Li Ang lifted the lantern and found that the lantern could be removed from the stand, and the light emitted would no longer have the effect of distorting shadows on the two of them.

“The eyes of the human head candle are just aimed at the location of the Shuiqin Cave. It seems that this dear brother also wanted to protect his son after his death.

Now there is no aggressiveness, it is estimated that we have buried his son’s body. The behavior of expressing Thank you.”

Li Ang took off the lantern, turned it upside down, not as heavy as he imagined, and held it in his hand as a light source.

Looking at Li Ang’s natural appearance, Wang Congshan was silent for a while, and couldn’t help but ask, “Is the scripted world we… players experience real, or is it a virtual world created by the system?”

“This question is very important. Is it?”

Carrying the lantern, Li Ang walked into the courtyard and said casually, “Since you can’t tell the truth from the false, then you don’t need to forcefully struggle. Just follow your heart and do what you need to do.”
