Gamers Are Fierce Chapter 439: Blessing

The latest website: The discovery channel is located in the city, which greatly improves everyone’s confidence,

The swarm is scouting ahead, escorting vehicles along the main road, heading for the city center.

The urban scene along the way is very Japanese island style,

Street shops with Japanese billboards, dazzling neon lights, cherry trees planted along the river streets, residential roads with a large upward and downward angle, narrow and low alleys, etc.

The city was deserted and silent except for the sound of the wind.

Fortunately, nothing is the best thing,

People didn’t dare to wander around the city, Wanli Fengdao drove the vehicle slowly to the destination.

This is a residential area hidden on the edge of the downtown area. Most of the buildings are two- or three-story brick and wood structures. The villas of ordinary residents seem to be some years old.

The courtyard of each small house is surrounded by a brick fence, and the edge of the fence is inlaid with a sign with white characters on a black background.

It’s a bit like the Big Bear’s house in the anime “Doraemon”, but it’s more remote, quiet, and rundown.

The vehicle with four players wandered around the periphery of the residential area a few times, and finally narrowed the target location to three residential buildings connected together,

Because the alleys where the three residential buildings are located are too narrow to pass to traffic, several players simply parked their cars at the end of the alleys and entered the alleys on foot.

“Arrived,”

Xing Hechou held his pocket watch, looked up at a three-story residential building painted with yellow paint and covered with red tiles, took a deep breath, “The passage to the next floor should be in this house. in.”

Wanli Fengdao, who was standing beside him, licked his lips subconsciously,

This Japanese-style villa in front of me can almost be described as “dilapidated and withered”,

Most of the flowers in the pots on the edge of the fence are dead, and some of the painted walls are hung with a bunch of old wires leading to different rooms. There is an air conditioner outside the room on the left side of the second floor covered with heavy dust.

It looks unremarkable,

But it gave him an extremely strong ominous premonition.

“Fu Shen Family…”

Liu Wulan looked at the sign hanging on the edge of the fence and said softly, “Is the family name of the person living in this house surnamed Fushen?”

Wanli Fengdao asked, “What’s wrong? Is there something wrong with this surname?”

Liu Wulan shook his head, “In ancient times, most of the civilians of Nishima had names and no surnames. Until the Meiji Restoration period, the Meiji issued the “Civilian Miao Character Permissive Order”, allowing all Nishima people, including civilians, to have surnames,

However, the people were worried that having a surname would bring about tax problems, and they were not enthusiastic about this matter. After the Meiji period, the “Miao Character Comparison Order” spread throughout the Meiji period, ordering the public to take a surname.

At that time, the people on the island of Japan had backward cultural literacy, and most of the names were obtained from local materials, so it seemed strange.

The residents at the foot of the mountain are named Shanxia, ​​the paddy fields are named Tanabe, the fishermen are named Hailao, and the cultural people are named Wenbu, or they use customs, festivals, business names, events, and auspiciousness as their surnames.

Fukushen is a surname associated with shrines and Shinto. “

“Shinto?”

Wanli Fengdao raised his eyebrows. Before he became a player, his knowledge of the Shinto culture of Nishima was limited to beautiful witches in exaggerated costumes.

After becoming a player, I learned a lot of unfamiliar knowledge, knowing that Shinto is a traditional sect of Hishima and belongs to the pan-spirit polytheistic belief.

The gods referred to here are not really high-level gods,

The Japanese word for god, かみ, can refer not only to traditional gods and Buddhas, but also to the undead of people, the spirits of plants and trees, and even the evil spirits that have passed down horror legends.

Shinto regards all kinds of animals and plants in nature as gods, and regards Hishima as the habitation of gods.

“I remember there seems to be an ancient shrine in the east of the city?”

Wanli Fengdao frowned and said, “Would you like to go there and investigate first?

Or go to the city’s police station and inquire about information related to the God of Fortune? “

“Um…”

Xing Hechou took out the city map he had taken from the convenience store on the street before (the map shows that the city is called ‘Keyama City’, which is a city under the jurisdiction of Geshan County and does not exist In the real world. The prefecture of the island is larger than the city),

Spread out in front of you,

He took out the Chinese-Japanese-English booklet with the “Tourism Guide of Utayama City” and compared it, and said, “The shrine in the east of the city is the Ihime Shrine. According to the introduction, it enshrines the local protector. , the goddess Yiji.

The lake at the back of the shrine is called the original place, and there is a local legend that ‘you can come back to the lake before you die~IndoMTL.com~Relive the life you regretted’.

In the past few years, there have been incidents of tourists falling into the lake and almost drowning, so it is temporarily closed to the public. “

Liu Wulan asked, “Where’s the name of the shrine manager?”

“It didn’t say that.”

Xing Hechou shook his head, “However, it is written in the travel booklet that tourists almost drowned when they fell into the lake…

The brain circuits of the people of Nishima are really strange. “

“After all, that kind of reincarnation legend, combined with real events, is a good marketing gimmick.”

Wanli Fengdao shrugged and said nonchalantly, “In the real world, on Hishima, there have been a lot of animations about reincarnation in the real world recently, and they’re almost smashed.

It can only be said that literary and artistic works reflect the status quo of society. Young people who are exploited by oppressive society cannot seek liberation in this world, and can only hope to be reincarnated in another world and become a superior person. “
