As a demon king, create a secret game in another world

"..."

"No, it's just this close. Is it necessary for you to take us so far?"

"Forget it, calm down, let's try to see what's on this statue."

The feather and the statue resonated, and this time, some strange symbols appeared on the wall.

"Captain, where the phantom was speaking just now, I seemed to have seen some stones engraved with such symbols. Could this be what they call stone root writing?"

"It's possible. Write it down first and let's go back and take a look."

Because Lei Ling was leading them in circles, the place they were at was very close and they only needed to run a few steps to get there.

The symbols on the stones here completely correspond to those on the wall, and he plans to touch the stones in the order of the symbols on the wall.

The moment his hand touched it, the stone lit up.

"Okay, that's it, let's activate all these things in order."

After all the stones were activated, the phantom that had disappeared before appeared again.

"So it has something to do with the ley lines... For example, Ru, you like singing..."

"Hey, this guy, is he talking to Ru?"

Finally, the phantom disappeared, and there was nothing more related to Aru.

"There's nothing else to pay attention to here. Let's go to the Ukina Beach and see if it's there."

Adventurers on the road...

Arriving at the seaside, there was still no sign of Ru.

Here, as before, there is a statue and some stones with symbols on them.

Considering that these things probably contain some secrets, the adventurer did not choose to leave immediately, but instead used feathers to activate the statue.

There were two phantoms this time, and judging from their conversation, it seemed that they were still chatting with Aru. Then, they did something to the stone on the ground and disappeared.

"As expected, it's Aru again. And it's the same this time. I can't see Aru's phantom... I feel like I've gotten used to it."

"How else could they be the key to the secret realm? Looking at their actions, they should be dealing with the stones on the ground, right?"

There are symbols on the ground that are exactly the same as those on the stones, but the positions are not corresponding.

"Put these things back in place? It's that simple. Hmm, we can only move them according to the traces on the ground. Let me think about how to do it..."

(I personally think this is the most troublesome decryption of Heguan.)

Compared with the previous operation of activating the stone, this operation is much more difficult, and the adventurer took a lot of effort to complete it.

Author's words: I feel that among the three major Japanese special effects, Sentai is the most stable. The Knights have made several bombs in a row, and the two tributes to Ao are not very good...

The first one is Guda, which will be the one after the final battle of Talulache City. The current idea of ​​Guda's mechanism is that if you lose, you will not die, but you will lose experience, and the rewards include rolling and blocking counterattack.

However, considering that a single-player dungeon is unlikely to be too long, a Molten Dragon is added at the end.

Make up the words, make up the words, make up the words, make up the words, make up the words, make up the words, make up the words, make up the words, make up the words, make up the words, make up the words

Chapter 143: The Wooden Reed Flute and the Heguan Story

After a lot of effort, I finally completed the rune activation of this place.

At this time, a new phantom appeared, seemingly continuing the previous conversation.

The woman named Zuo Shi persuaded Aru to leave this place and go outside. The adventurer also learned that the so-called festival in Heguan required living people to be turned into sacrifices and handed over to the thunderbird.

“…Ah, although there have been some speculations before, this method of sacrifice, considering that Aru said that she is the protagonist this time, so this festival is to sacrifice Aru? But for some unknown reason, the festival went wrong in the end, and this is what happened?”

"It's possible. Didn't I say before that the civilization here was destroyed? The thunderbird went crazy and was destroyed by a man called General Thunder. It's very likely that something went wrong during this festival."

"If that's the case, everyone be careful. Our final opponent may very well be that Thunderbird. I don't know how powerful this guy who has been worshipped by the people of Heguan is."

However, now is not the time to think about this matter. Time is running out and they need to go to the last place and complete today's task quickly.

Now, they are heading to the last place, Otakenoye.

The situation here is more troublesome than the previous two places.

Because, before they could see what was inside, the thick fog outside had already become an obstacle for them.

Apart from some faintly flickering purple light, nothing else could be seen inside.

"Trouble, is it fog again? Everyone be careful, I have a bad feeling, be careful not to get separated."

Relying on the purple light, they successfully arrived in front of a statue, but when they were in the fog along the way, they always felt confused and lost.

"Come on, activate this statue and see what it is."

After being activated by the feather, the phantom shadow appeared again, and this time it was Aru.

Just like the phantoms before him, he kept talking to himself: "Singing here shouldn't be discovered, right? Well, let's go deeper."

The phantom ran away and disappeared completely in one place.

And that place is another statue.

After being activated, three green, floating lives appeared. As soon as the adventurer approached, they flew away in different directions.

"Is this thing showing us the way? Is it the same thing as that purple ball? Let's follow it and see."

The first fairy stopped on a stone and did not move.

"What do you mean, let us take this stone? There seemed to be some gaps next to the previous statue. Should we use this thing to fill it?"

Sure enough, after picking up the stone, the fairy returned the same way.

When the adventurer put the stone back in place, the fairy entered the big stone behind the statue, and a symbol appeared on it. It was the stone root text that the adventurer had seen before.

"I see. Everyone, let's put the remaining stones back in place."

The fog here was very thick, and even though there was light to guide them, they still got lost. However, this time it was okay, as when they woke up they simply returned to the statue they had been to before.

(To be honest, when doing the mission, this fog is really disgusting, too gloomy...)

Finally, the stones were activated in the order of the symbols above.

The phantom appeared again, and in addition to Aru, there was also a mysterious voice.

"What an interesting tune. You, little man, aren't you afraid of thunder and rain?"

There was no beginning or end to the conversation, and soon the phantom disappeared, and they still didn't find Aru.

"That's weird, where did Ru go?"

"I'm not sure. Why don't we go back and have a look? We've been to all three places. Maybe Ru has already gone back by herself."

When we arrived at the sacrificial site, there was no one there again.

"Should I say it's an accident, or not at all... It looks like our mission for today has been completed, right? The next step is to wait for the time to reach 0:00, and then teleport us back to the gate of Heguan?"

Having experienced this so many times, the captain has gotten used to it and is even looking forward to the next replay.

As 0:00 arrived, they returned to the gate of Heguan. As they were well prepared, they skillfully set up the tents and began to rest.

It's 6:00 in the morning, and something different happened today.

The ship that left yesterday actually came back today!

"Uh, what's going on with you guys? Didn't we agree to see each other in three days?"

"It's like this. Didn't you talk about those mysterious experiences here yesterday? I have a feeling that you will definitely gain something in the next few days. In addition, the nearest island, Qinglai Island, is very close to here. We can go back and forth every day to check on your situation."

"I see... Good news. We got the wooden reed flute you wanted. Take a look for yourself. The wooden reed flute didn't disappear this time."

This wooden reed flute dug out from under the big tree was different from the previous ones. The adventurer held it firmly in his hand and handed it to the woman.

"Oh yeah, that's it... But, how should I put it, it feels a bit random. It's not the feeling I want."

"..."

"6"

But she quickly adjusted herself and gave the adventurers something called Mora, which they found to be a good alchemical material.

The woman expressed the hope that the adventurer could continue to gain a deeper understanding of Heguan’s situation and obtain more things, as well as more rewards in the future.

Since the adventurers' mission is to solve the supernatural incidents in Heguan, they don't mind making some extra money on the side.

During the communication, they learned that the boatman of this boat was called "Afu".

This name is quite special for adventurers. The man who buried the wooden reed flute in the soil is also called Afu. Plus, he seems to be more familiar with the sea route to Heguan. They understand that this man must have a secret.

After sending the novelist away, the captain took Abu to the side for a conversation.

"Do you know anything related to Heguan?"

"Yes, my ancestors fled because they couldn't stand the environment here."

"Why didn't you tell me before? If we had known this earlier, our investigation would have been much easier."

"Because you didn't ask."

"..."

Author's Notes:

Suddenly I realized that Kirito seems to have more books than his wife...

Chapter 144: Crane Observation Changes

The captain doesn’t know what to say now. If he uses one thing to express his current mood, it can only be sweating soybeans.jpg.

However, he did not intend to continue to care about this kind of thing. He hoped to get more information related to the Heguan supernatural incident from Afu.

"Did your ancestors leave behind anything that has something to do with this place?"

"My ancestor finally went to the nearby Qinglai Island, where the Thunderbird traveled back and forth, and where it was finally killed. As for what happened that year...it is said that the Thunderbird fell in love with a child, so the priest decided to sacrifice him to the Thunderbird."

"Originally, the ancestors wanted to take him away, but he decided to stay. Not long after that, the thunderbirds went berserk and destroyed Heguan."

"As for the supernatural events there, it is most likely a large-scale 'ground vein anomaly'. In the fog, phantoms from the past appear, constantly repeating the scene of the last festival, but the passage of time is wrong. Moreover, in the end, the thunderbird destroys the Crane Temple."

"It's meaningless to talk to the people of Heguan. They are just illusions caused by the abnormal ley lines. However, there is an exception. The child who was sacrificed to the Thunderbird in the past, according to you, should be called Aru. Since you have had so many interactions with Aru and obtained the real wooden reed flute, maybe it is really possible to end the cycle here."

"Based on past experience, the recurrence of those phantoms should soon arrive when the Thunderbird destroys Heguan. You don't have much time left. From now on, we will come here every day. I hope you are safe."

Then, Afu left with the boat.

The adventurer re-summarized the information and thought that the most important thing now should be to try to stop the sacrifice of Aru here. Maybe by doing so, the sacrifice would fail and change the original history, and the supernatural events here could be resolved.

"Well, it's decided. Let's go into Tsuru-kan now and look for A-ru."

Just like the previous times, although there is a lot of fog in Heguan, as long as you enter through the big gate, most of it will automatically dissipate, leaving only some fog.

I came to the place where I met Aru these few days, but I didn’t see Aru this time.

"Oh no, the festival hasn't already started, has it? We need to hurry up. If Ru is still sacrificed, all our efforts will be in vain."

Running towards the sacrificial site, they saw two people next to the perch on the only way.

"I really envy Ru..."

"Don't talk nonsense."

"Are they offering sacrifices to the perches? Got it. Since we said before that the ceremony requires the offering of perches, then if we destroy these perches, can we stop the ceremony?"

"That makes sense. Let's give it a try."

Several adventurers started hacking at the perch, and soon some energy balls ran out from the perch.

These things were collected by the adventurers using special containers, and then the perch began to droop and wither, the leaves disappeared, and the purple lines dimmed, turning into what they had seen at first. But this time, the strange thing was that the perch withered, and the fog here disappeared instead.

"how so……"

"What happened to Qimu?"

"Very good, it works. But it feels so subtle. We made this perch ourselves a few days ago..."

"Stop talking. There are still three roosts that need to be taken care of. Let's get over there."
