"Our family believes in Yausikp, the Spider Mother Goddess. When disaster comes, darkness and snow fall, the goddess forgets us."
"The sun is gone. The village drop and the country drop swallowed up the sun god."
"The demon's minions brought darkness and attacked the village. All the people turned into stone."
Granny Oucao started to tell me what happened here in a stiff tone.
Her choice of words was not particularly accurate, and Kamiya could only understand roughly.
However, from this, we understand why there is no sun on the land of Kamui.
"Village drop 々 country drop 々" is how Granny Oucao pronounces it. It may be that Kamiyagawa couldn't understand the specific meaning based on the transliteration of the Ainu word, but based on the context, "murachi 々 国产々" should refer to a demon god on the land of Kamui.
For the time being, let’s understand it as the “Village Demon God”.
The demon god of the village swallowed up the original sun god on the land of Kamui, bringing endless darkness to this land of origin.
Granny Oucao called this disaster a "disaster without light."
The little people of Krobokuru who live on this land believe in the god "Yawusikpu", the Spider Mother Goddess. When the "lightless disaster" came, the believers were not given any blessing or response.
A large number of Krobokuru were slaughtered by the minions of the village demon god on this land, and the remaining tribesmen, like this settlement, were turned into stone statues in the endless darkness and wind and snow.
"Your mother goddess, Yausikpu, can you tell me about her in detail?" Kamiyagawa asked.
"The Mother Goddess was originally a loving divine power on this land. Her four arms brought the people the skills of water diversion, fire making, weaving, and cooking. We love Him and can feel Him. But in the lightless disaster After her arrival, the aura of the Mother Goddess disappeared from this land."
Granny Oucao used all the vocabulary she had learned throughout her life to explain.
"oh……"
Generally understood.
The initial thinking was correct, the Spider Mother Goddess was indeed a powerful god on the land of Kamui.
Meet the mission requirements of this map.
But after the village demon devoured the sun god, Kropokuru could no longer feel the presence of their gods.
Therefore, in the lightless disaster, the Spider Mother Goddess may have fallen.
"Is there a divine residence or temple in Yausikp?" Kamiyakawa asked.
"In the northwest, there is a big mountain called 'Li Wenhua', which was the original residence of the Mother Goddess." Granny Oucao answered this way.
Yausikp, Spider Mother Goddess. He was the first Kamui to know of its existence after Kamiya River entered the land of Kamui.
Although He may fall.
But the Liwenhua Mountain in the northwest is still worth exploring.
During the time when Kamiyagawa and Granny Oucho were communicating, Hiyoribo regained some energy.
She did the same thing on the side, summoning the warm sunlight and waking up the seven surrounding Kropokulu stone statues.
Very positive.
Maybe it's because as a shaman, Granny Lotus Grass has much more energy than other villains. It takes much less effort for Rihefang to wake up other people than to wake up Granny Lotus Grass.
As for the seven villains, they seemed very confused when they first woke up.
They communicated with each other in an incomprehensible language for a while, and then received a signal from Granny Oucao. They all knelt down towards the Kamiya River and shouted "Kamui".
It is also a manifestation of regarding Kamiya as a god.
I don’t know if it’s because the Kropokuru themselves are too weak. They seem to be very strong-minded and very dependent on the gods.
After the original mother goddess Yausikop disappeared without a trace, she was eager to find a new object of faith for herself.
And Kamitani Chuan, a fierce man who descended from the sky, obviously fits their mentality of admiring strong people.
In a sense, these are quite similar to little old men.
"According to Grandma Locust Grass, after the Spider Mother Goddess disappeared, her people struggled to survive on this lightless land for a long time. It is estimated that many people's belief in the Mother Goddess was shaken later. Now you may want to find someone who can help you. The new gods they offer shelter from.”
"Then the way they choose to believe is really simple and pragmatic... Believe in whoever can protect you."
Kamiya thought in his heart.
But I feel that this mentality of the little humans can be exploited.
The shikigami under them have developed to a certain extent and have a certain degree of demand for "faith".
Kamui seems to be far vaster than an ordinary map. On this land, there are still many remaining Krobokuru tribesmen who exist in petrified form.
If you can save them all, maybe you can guide them to believe in one or even multiple shikigami under you?
Kamiya clearly remembered that the medicine seller once said that the source of his faith was not entirely human, but also included some special spirits.
Therefore, strange stories with IQ can also provide a source of belief.
"Mary's faith has initially spread in reality. Prajna and Little Tapir are about to be promoted to B-level. They are the two who need the source of faith most in the future... I wonder if we can guide the Cropokulu clan to enshrine them. stand up."
"There is a saying that Hiyoribo is the most suitable place to create a god in front of Kropokulu. But Little Sun's current rating is too low, and it is far from the point where a shrine needs to be built."
While listening to Granny Oucao's speech, Kamiya was mentally preparing for a rainy day and planning what benefits he could gain.
After the conversation lasted for more than 20 minutes, the little old man who was originally on alert suddenly started shouting.
"Abba! Abba!"
The little scout's reaction was very violent.
It seems that something huge is about to happen.
At this moment--
In the dark sky where the wind and snow roared, a bird's figure appeared.
"Wow!"
The shrill cries of crows echoed loudly, attracting everyone's attention.
Kamiya raised his head and narrowed his eyes. He knew the big bird in the sky -
The Karasu Tengu that I encountered before.
Seeing the appearance of the Crow Tengu, several small humans who had just woken up from the petrified state, including Granny Oucao, became visibly panicked.
"Lord Kamui, that crow is the vanguard of the devil. After it appears, the devil's minions, the 'night thieves', will come."
"ah?"
The devil's vanguard?
Based on his previous contact with the Karasu Tengu, Kamiya felt that this was not the case.
But now is not the time to talk about such issues.
Because Kamiyagawa has already felt that there is a familiar, dirty and evil aura emerging from the outskirts of this settlement.
He stared out and saw that in the already gloomy sky, there seemed to be a deeper and more terrifying darkness condensing in the half of the sky in front of him.
The little Krobokulu people around him were running and screaming like headless flies, shouting some incomprehensible words.
Only Granny Oucao could barely keep her composure and stood tremblingly on the edge of the Kamiya River.
The actions of the little humans made Kamiya feel that they were more similar to the little old man.
Maybe they really are distant relatives.
These Krobokuru may be the seeds that will provide stable faith in the future, and Kamiya does not intend to let them be consumed here.
"Little old man."
He called out to his scouts, took out the Kisaragi train key, and summoned the station that was originally located outside the settlement directly to his side.
"Take the Kropokuru aboard the Kisaragi train."
"Abba!"
The little old man's body sensed the danger, and at the moment when the filthy aura gathered around him, he actually ran away and retracted into the bird bronze medal.
But he kept his outer body.
The little old man's nature of running away when he senses danger has been supported by his master.
Moreover, after learning [External Body], Kamiya even more supported his own emergency escape.
It's the same thing if you have a clone.
Sometimes the outer body can do more than the little old man's body. After all, it can be used as a consumable.
"Abba! Abba!"
The little old man Mini received the order and immediately jumped onto the Kisaragi platform which was still under construction.
The newly awakened Kropokulu did not follow immediately.
Fortunately, Granny Lotus Grass has a high authority in this small human tribe. She shouted a few times, and the few people finally reacted and followed the little old man Mini away.
…
The darkness ahead was thick, as if a thick curtain was hanging down from the sky.
Not only did it swallow up the light, but even the sound of the wind and snow seemed to be obscured and weakened.
And the scope of influence of that invisible "curtain" is still expanding, and the suffocating sense of oppression spreads in the sky.
"Wow--"
The Karasu Tengu in the sky cried briefly again, then flapped its wings and fell into the thick darkness that made it difficult to see ahead.
On the snowy field, Kamiyagawa displayed his weapon. Holding a text in one hand and a banshee in the other, she took a few steps forward against the wind and snow.
The strong wind carried snowflakes across his cheeks, tearing away the hem of his clothes, and the cold was biting.
The terrifying and solemn darkness spreads in front like ink spreading in clear water.
But Kamiyagawa did not waver at all and continued to move forward, with a pair of slightly shrunken pupils with deep and sharp colors.
Then he saw the vision bonus provided by [Qiu Hao Zhan].
On the snow swallowed by darkness ahead, some black shadows were slowly rising up, varying in size.
As these black shadows appeared, the filthy and evil atmosphere suddenly became stronger.
The black shadow is a human figure, standing in the darkness and looking extremely blurry, distorted, and turbid.
Kamiyagawa could smell their disgusting stench.
These should be the "night thieves" that Granny Oucao calls them.
Kamiya also saw something of great concern on the night thieves. There were dark things crawling on their bodies.
Black maggots.
The kind that Aokigahara has seen before!
No wonder Kamiya felt that the auras of the night thieves seemed familiar, and it turned out that the source was here.
"Black maggots? If these things are present, then the night thief must be my enemy."
Because of the experience in Aokigahara, Kamiyagawa has a completely hostile attitude towards Black Maggot.
Judging from the current situation, the number of maggots on this group of night thieves is not too many.
On each individual body, only a few are squirming.
Can cope.
"Everything that shines must be extinguished."
"put out……"
The night thieves twisted and overlapped in the snow, holding incomplete weapons of different styles in their hands as they approached slowly and erratically.
What they speak is not Anuí and can be fully understood.
It seems to prove that these night thieves are not natives of Kamui.
"Their bodies smell like the dead sun." Hiyoribo, who was originally in the palm of Kamiyagawa's hand, has climbed onto Kamiyagawa's shoulder. I don't know if it is because she is on the battlefield for the first time, but the little girl seems to be very excited. He waved his fist:
"They are bad things! Lord Kamiya, beat them!"
Beat them, my king!
Perhaps out of his immense trust in his master, without Kamiyagawa's orders, Hiyoribo did not immediately run away like the little old man did.
Maybe he thought he needed to stay and fight together...
"go back."
Kamiya tilted his head.
Hiyoribo was obedient after all. After listening to the order, he immediately turned into a wave of warmth and got back into the Sunny Doll.
Because the little sun left the scene, the snowfield fell into a thick darkness, leaving only the sound of howling wind and snow.
…
On the other side, Granny Lotus Grass also followed her onto the platform, even though she didn't know what the sudden appearance of the building was.
But her intuition told her that in this situation, she must listen to Lord Kamui in order to survive.
Clang-clang-clang-clang-
In the darkness, there was a huge noise.
Two beams of dazzling light came from nowhere, piercing the dark surroundings.
Then the light came on, and Grandma Oucao saw a huge steel creation roaring from the wind and snow.
"Abba!"
The little old man Mini waved his hand and asked the little humans to get on the bus.
Grandma Oucao was the last one to enter the carriage. Once inside, she and several other tribesmen climbed onto the seats and crowded together. They looked through the glass window of the Ruyue train towards the position of Lord Kamui.
The adult was standing on the edge of the solemn darkness, alone, and a dirty night thief had already appeared in front of him.
The dazzling train lights did not shine directly on Kamui-sama, so he could only see vaguely.
The tribesmen chatted among each other, still extremely scared.
Grandma Oucao couldn't help but worry.
The demon's minions suddenly came, and there were so many of them.
Will this foreign Lord Kamui who suddenly appeared, disappear into the endless darkness like the Mother Goddess?
If this adult who finally appeared disappears, then who should the clansmen rely on?
Clang-clang-clang-clang-
The Kisaragi train moved and the scene outside the window began to recede.
Lord Kamui's figure was about to be completely swallowed by the deep and terrifying darkness.
At this moment, Granny Lotus Grass saw the adult's hand holding the gun raised, and touched the long knife in his right hand.
Zizzi!
The dazzling bright yellow thunder light burst out from the long knife in his hand, tearing away the heavy darkness in front of him.
The lightning reflected his isolated figure and the black clothes that were constantly being pulled by the wind and snow, making it extremely dazzling.
Clang-clang-clang-clang-
The Kisaragi train was fully started, taking the several small humans on board to jump towards the safe Dreamland area.
In the end, Granny Oucao only saw——
The bright yellow and ferocious thunder arc illuminated the snow and the snowflakes flying in the air palely, revealing the night thieves of different sizes and shapes.
Ugly, muddy, filthy.
The adult held a dazzling light in his hand and walked alone into the depths of darkness.
The lightning in his hand was the only light in the huge darkness hanging from the sky.
Bright, shining, brilliant and righteous.
After that, the Kisaragi train crashed through the void, and neither Lord Kamui nor the group of night thieves could be seen again.
