Nightmare Lord's virtual game

"You mean [Paying Homage to Shinna]?" Chizhi Minoru asked.

"...I think so."

I don't know the exact name of the ballad, but Shesta feels that it is this name.

"That ballad is obviously based on [Yellow Spring Banquet]," Shesta asked.

The atmosphere froze instantly.

"Shin-na-ming-god-guardian-beast-." At this time, the little girl sang happily, as if she was happy because she had memorized the ballad.

"Yes, that's it, and then what's next?"

"The more people there are, the more wild it is." Meeko continued to sing.

What lyrics are these?

Because there were two outsiders at the banquet who might not be familiar with the ballad, the reporter promised not to spread the ballad, so Li Huazi wrote it down.

~Visiting Shinna~

The guardian beasts of Shinna Myojin

One snake, two monkeys, three crows, and four spiders

When the evening mist rises, the feast is coming

The raccoon dog carries the meat of the beast, looking east and west

The unclean people will return from the underworld

This world will not tolerate people in the underworld

One person per day, the punishment of hanging

Until the sky clears.

Shesta began to analyze sentence by sentence

First, the introduction of the characters.

"Shinna" is Shinna Mountain, which is Shinna Myojin. Then, the four guardian beasts except the wolf appear one by one

"One snake"

"Two monkeys"

The numbers here do not refer to quantity, but to sequence numbers.

That is to say, snake 643 is the 643 chief subordinate of "Shinna Myojin", followed by monkeys and crows, and spiders have the lowest status.

"If the evening fog rises, the feast is coming." As the name suggests, the evening fog is the signal for the start of the "Yellow Springs Banquet".

The problem is...

"What is a raccoon?" Shesta asked directly.

A raccoon, literally, is an animal, a mammal of the Canidae family and the genus Raccoon. It is short and fat, between a raccoon and a dog, smaller than a dog or a fox. Its body color is dark brown. Its snout is white, its limbs are short and black, its tail is thick and short, and it has a black "pirate-like mask" on its face.

This sentence in the original text literally means that the raccoon will come at some point and run away with pickled animal meat.

Several people present also answered questions about the animal raccoon, but this was not the answer Shesta wanted.

"I know that raccoon dogs are animals... but I have never seen a raccoon dog in Xiushui Village, whether in Fujira Village or at the Huangquan Festival."

Xiesta thought she would get an answer immediately, but unexpectedly, everyone was silent.

"Well... if I am not mistaken, then the four guardian beasts correspond to the four elders, but... only the raccoon dog's true identity is unknown. Although I once suspected that the raccoon dog might be a wolf, it is too far-fetched anyway." Xiesta said.

After experiencing the first round, Xiesta knew the true identity of the raccoon dog, but according to the situation in the first round, and the currentSeeing the reactions of the crowd, Shesta felt that it was necessary to expose the true identity of He.

After all, the earlier we know about a time bomb like [He] and the earlier we guard against it, the more useful it will be to the human camp!

"I have some impression..."

No one else seemed to know. After a while, Grandma Yamawaki recalled: "He is a subordinate of the Wolf God. I heard that the Wolf God is the owner of the hunting ground, and He is a servant who helps the Wolf God hunt... Yes, I remember that [He has been waiting for the return of the Wolf God]."

The atmosphere at the scene became cold.

"It's really chilling." Oribe Kaori shuddered.

"Have you found anything?" Oribe Yasunaga asked Shesta.

"Although it's just a guess, I think it's very likely that He is also a protector. No, to be precise, there should be someone who was assigned the identity of He among the participants of the Huangquan Ji Banquet."

Hearing this, almost everyone at the scene was shaken.

"What's going on?" Ma Gong asked.

"Maybe one of the humans is the wolf's companion." Shesta said slowly.

...

At night, Shesta returned to her room and began to think about tonight's identity check. Of course, before that, Shesta had experienced some small "setbacks".

"What? I can still make a wish, and I can wish to bring things from my home world, whether it is skills, props, or equipment?!"

Looking at the interface list of her wishing system, the smooth and clean wishing list without any shit, Shesta was stunned and dumbfounded.

"No, this, this... This is too unfriendly to new players!"

The system interface of the myth challenge has nothing, which means that all players are at the same starting line. However, at this time, you tell me that there is a wishing system and I can't make any wishes?

Thousands of words turned into one word.

"——Damn nightmare world!"

"Oh, no, I swore..."

A famous detective doesn't swear...unless he can't help it!

"I wonder what other players will wish for...powerful weapons? Skills? Equipment...or delicious food? Gah...maybe I can't wish for anything, but at least give me something delicious."

The food provided by Xiushui Village is really unbearable - it's like eating dark food every day!

...

"Today I told you about the raccoon dog. Although not everyone believes it, at least it's a reminder. I hope it's useful."

"Next is to check the identity...but it's not easy. We can't find the suspect at all..."

Finally, Shesta's choice is Nori Seinosuke.

As a "human vote-sucking machine", Nori Seinosuke's existence can give Shesta a sense of security. From this perspective, there is no need to investigate him at all, because if you are not careful, he may be voted out.

However, if this idea is used by Wolves, it will be very dangerous.

For her own safety, Shesta felt it was necessary to protect Nori Seinosuke. In this case, it would be best to know Nori Seinosuke's identity in advance, so that she would have a bottom line in her heart. Otherwise, if she thought that he could not be a wolf just because he was a "human-shaped vote-sucking machine", it would lead to serious consequences, which would be really embarrassing.

The famous detective lost face!

"But I always have a feeling... this human-shaped vote-sucking machine doesn't look like a wolf... ah, is it really okay to waste this precious vote... Forget it, I have already made a choice."

The next day, just as Shesta expected, Nori Seinosuke's identity was [human].

Although she failed to find out the wolf, the fact that Nori Seinosuke was a human also allowed Shesta to feel at ease to protect this "human-shaped vote-sucking machine".

However, the development of the situation always exceeds expectations.

No one died on this day.

You know, in the second day of the banquet in the first round that Shesta experienced, two people died directly, one was killed by the wolf, and the other died of contamination!

And in the second round, surprisingly... no one died, and there was even one more person alive than in the first round - Mamiya Hisako.

The wolf was kind and didn't kill anyone?

Shesta thought of the situation in the first round and couldn't help shaking her head.

So, if no one died, it means that the spider successfully protected the target?

The spider was amazing this time!

However, the development of the banquet exceeded Shesta's expectations.

Mamiya Hisako announced her identity as a snake at the banquet, and then told the results of the inspection that Grandma Yamawaki was a wolf!

Then it was time to vote. Since the inspection of the snake was very important, naturally, Grandma Yamawaki had the most votes... By the way, Nori Seinosuke was indeed a human-shaped vote-sucking machine. Even if he was behind in the votes, he was only behind by one vote...

It was Shesta's turn to vote. Shesta found that her vote was actually a waste.

However, just as Shesta was about to vote, she felt an unprecedented chill.

——This "meaningless" vote might affect her life or death!

Shesta's hair stood up all over her body.
