Ghost Killing Team RPG

Go east from the edge of Kiso Village, climb a mountain, and you will enter a forest. On the map, the name of this forest is "Mermaid Forest". Of course, this has nothing to do with the work of Mr. Takahashi Omiko.

From time to time, bandits jump out of the winding trails on the mountain, but after entering the forest, those who jump out instead of bandits become all kinds of beasts.

Unlike the small animals in Xiawu Mountain, the beasts here are quite ferocious, full of breeds such as gray wolves, lynxes, and porcupines. It's just that no matter how fierce the beast, the stone murderer who encounters LV35 has to face the situation of falling asleep and being stuffed into a backpack.

Using stones to put the beasts into a sweet sleep, and then put them in the backpack, Yun Na just brushed the monsters all the way to the depths of the forest.

The edge of the forest can still let in some sunlight, and the closer the center is, the denser the trees, and the shadow from the canopy completely covers the ground. Not only is it unnecessary to hold an umbrella here, it may even hinder the movement because the umbrella surface hooks on the branches that stretch out around it. When it goes deep enough, the beasts that randomly jump out of the roadside also disappear. This seems to imply that living in the center of the forest is a powerful existence above these beasts.

I don't know how long it has been to trek in the forest, as if the endless forest finally came to an end at a certain moment. The trees in front became sparse. Through the gaps between the branches, Yun Nai vaguely saw a little light of water.

Is it the lake in the middle of the forest? Yun Na became energetic, raised his leg and ran forward, rushing out of the forest.

What appeared in front of Yun Nao was a large lake with sparkling water and white sand. A breeze blew by, and the sapphire lake surface was rippling.

Yun Nao took a deep breath of the fresh air with the smell of lake water and forest, admired the scenery on the lake for a while, and then walked around the lake.

Soon, she found a huge tree growing diagonally. The trunk of the giant tree is two meters in diameter. The branches and leaves cover the sky. Half of the roots plunge into the moist mud of the lake, while the other half are scattered into the water like a fishing net.

The tree that the two guests said that can summon mermaids should be this one.

Yun Na ran to the tree, bent his fingers religiously, and tapped the tree three times with his knuckles.

"Mermaid, please come out and meet me." She muttered to herself—of course, lest the mermaid could see her thoughts, Yun Na didn’t dare to think about mermaid meat and mermaid scales, and the hand holding the curry stick was also covered. She quietly carried her back behind her back.

After the voice fell, the silence lasted for a long time. For a long time, Yun Na suspected that he would not be able to summon a mermaid by doing so. He began to think about whether he wanted to jump into the lake and meet the mermaid by catching the dragon in the water. But suddenly, a straight water pattern floated on the lake, coming all the way in the direction of Yun Nai.

That must be a mermaid!

Yun Na stood up expectantly, waiting for the arrival of the mermaid. Closer, closer... Finally, the ripple approached the shore.

Yun Na heard a female voice from underwater: "Are you the one who summoned the mermaid?"

"Yes!" Yun Na nodded, rubbing his fingers behind his back. For some reason, she always felt that the mermaid's voice was not as immortal as she imagined. But soon, she told herself that it was an illusion, she is a night rabbit, how can she know what immortal energy is?

After Yun Na finished answering, the ripples on the water shook more violently. Suddenly, a black shadow broke through the water and fell in front of Yun Na.

"What is it for me?" the other person asked.

After seeing the other side's appearance clearly, Yun Na was stunned.

What jumped up from the water to her side was a crocodile standing in a human posture with a pair of small glasses on his head.

This... is the mermaid in the legend that is as beautiful as a god?

Yun Na couldn't believe his eyes, and it took a long time before he trembled and said, "Well, you are... the mermaid in the mermaid forest?"

"That's right!" The spectacled crocodile stood up very proudly, and patted his chest with his paws, "The Kanban girl in this forest is her own fish! The name Mermaid Forest is also named because of me!"

"However, there are many elements of fish, but human elements do not seem to be..."

"What are you talking about!" The spectacled crocodile is not happy. "Whether the walking posture, the logic of thinking, or even the ability to speak, don't all prove that I am a mermaid?"

No, that's not a merman, at best it's a merman.

And although the crocodile bears the name of the fish, it is actually a reptile, not a fish.

Yun Na's complexion is not pretty.

Do you want to let the spectacled crocodile fall asleep with a rock from behind unexpectedly, and then put the crocodile in the backpack?

But this time even the system didn't show the level of the crocodile with glasses, I'm afraid it is not an attackable target. Yun Na thought for a while, because he didn't know the details of the crocodile, so he gave up the idea.

She quietly put away the curry stick, put on a pious look, clasped her hands on her chest, and asked: "The mermaid, I heard that your bones can cure all diseases, and your meat can make you immortal. Your scales can connect two people who have nothing to do with each other. Can you give me these rare materials...ah no, can you give me your flesh and scales?"

"Uh, are you here to ask for these things again? It's really a headache." The Spectacle Crocodile said, touching the back of his head.

What's the matter with this kind of tone like a cartoonist who doesn't want to submit a manuscript? Yun Sun suppressed his unhappiness, pretended to look expectant, and looked at the spectacled crocodile.

"It's not impossible. But if you want to get mermaid bones, mermaid meat, and mermaid scales, you must do something for me." After a while, the crocodile made a decision.

"What's the matter?" Yun Nai quickly asked when he heard that there was a way.

"To tell you the truth, I usually use the most fertile black mud in this lakeside wetland to maintain my claws, but recently I am busy with drafts and don't have much time to collect the black mud to care for my skin, so the skin of my claws is a bit dry and cracked. "The glasses crocodile smiled slyly, "Can you help me fetch the most fertile black mud in this wetland?"

[Commission from a mermaid: Using black mud to keep your paws moist is the secret to a good story! Please help me fetch the most fertile black mud in the wetland×10. 】

[Completing the task rewards mermaid bone×1, mermaid meat×1, mermaid scale×1]

Although I don’t understand how "rushing to draft" and "drawing a good story" are about, and I have quite a bit of criticism about the system's serious method of calling the spectacled crocodile a mermaid, this is a good opportunity to obtain rare materials. Nai still accepted the task.

"Thank you, let's set off now!" The Spectacled Crocodile took out a white handkerchief and waved, "I will be waiting for you here while drawing the NAME. I must come back soon!"

This task does not seem difficult. When following the task guide to the lakeside wetland, the system prompts that there is a lot of wet mud on the ground. Yun Nai excavated without saying a word.

But to her surprise, most of the "ordinary wet mud" was dug out. On average, about 20 to 30 pieces of "ordinary wet mud" can be dug to produce a piece of "fertile black mud".

After pouting and digging for a long time, Yun Na finally collected ten pieces of "fertile black mud." When returning to the Spectacled Crocodile to hand in the task, the Crocodile looked very happy, and even the small square glasses on the crocodile's snout made a beating.

"This is it!"

The spectacled crocodile took the black mud with joy, and wiped it on its paws without saying a word. The system prompts that the task is complete. As it wiped it, it still said: "Immediately, it's doing it, it's doing it, mermaid bones, mermaid meat, and mermaid scales are coming soon!"

…It's the same tone as the cartoonist who was urged. Yun Na didn't bother to complain.

"The paw finally doesn't hurt anymore." After smearing the black mud, the spectacled crocodile finally breathed a sigh of relief, "Come on, reach out, I will give you something."

Yun Na stretched out his hand. The spectacled crocodile touched his body, then put something in Yun Na's hand.

[Obtain mermaid bone×1, all abnormal states can be removed after use]

[Obtained mermaid meat×1, can prolong life for 100 years after use]

[Obtain mermaid scales×1, after using it, any two people can bond with each other]

Although the guy in front of him was just a brown-black spectacles crocodile, the three materials he gave to Yun Na were all clear and beautiful. The mermaid bones were so pierced as colored glaze, the mermaid flesh was a cube like a crystal slime, and the mermaid scale was a coin-sized white scale, faintly shining with pink-blue light.

Yun Na was admiring the mermaid material in his hand, and the spectacled crocodile spoke again: "The black mud here is good. I have searched for a long time and found that the black mud here is the best, so I settled on this lakeside. Sometimes I I wonder, is there any better black mud in this world?"

"Yeah..." Yun Dan was absent-mindedly responding, and suddenly a thought flashed through his mind.

Better mud than the black mud by the lake... Maybe she has it in her backpack!

When defeating the marsh ghost, didn't it drop 10 marsh ghost black mud! Yun Na quickly took out the marsh ghost black mud from his backpack, held it in his palm, and carefully handed it over: "Do you think this will work..."

The glasses crocodile's eyes lit up and snatched the marsh ghost black mud.

"What kind of mud is this? It's amazing! It's better than the fertile black mud by the lake!" The Spectacle Crocodile couldn't put it down playing with the black mud in his hand, looking at Yun Nai with bright eyes, "Do you still have this thing? Give it all. How am I?"

"Ah, yes there are more..." Yun Nai pretended to cough lightly, "What are you going to exchange for me?"

The Spectacled Crocodile hesitated and asked, "Don't you want mermaid bones, mermaid meat, and mermaid scales? Can I trade these for you?"

"Okay!" Yun Nai was waiting for this. She readily agreed, and then took out all the marsh ghost black mud in the bag.

"There are so many!" The Spectacle Crocodile took the marsh ghost black mud in surprise, "It's really great! Come, I'll give you your reward!"

[Get Mermaid Bones×10]

[Get Mermaid Meat×10]

[Get Mermaid Scale×10]

"This is already all of my inventory." The Spectacle Crocodile held the marsh ghost black mud and said cheerfully, "I've given it all!"

"Thank you." Yun Na was also happy, and put all the mermaid materials into his backpack.

Before leaving, she thought of something she cared about, and couldn't help but ask the crocodile holding black mud admiring glasses: "Well, I want to ask, a crocodile wearing glasses and talking human like you... Uh, mermaid, How many are there in the world?"

"I'm the only one." The Spectacled Crocodile raised his head and replied, "What's the matter?"

"…It's nothing."

If there is only one spectacled crocodile in the world, how did the mermaid materials she got and the spectacles crocodile equipment she obtained before come from?

Thinking of this, Yun Na couldn't help but feel a chill. She shrank her shoulders and forced herself to give up thinking. Anyway, RPG doesn't run according to the laws of reality, and this is not impossible.

***

The mermaid incident by the lake has been cleared, and there are no other incidents that can be triggered.

After the spectacled crocodile held the black mud and dived into the water, Yun Na tried to knock on the giant tree again, but he never received any response. I don't know if it is because the glasses crocodile can no longer be summoned after its inventory has been emptied, or because it is lying on the bottom of the lake and has no time to respond. By the way, the guy just said he wanted to draw a name...

So in the rest of the time, Yun Na simply sat in the shadow of the giant tree by the lake and caught the fish, intending to brush up to 99 of each kind of products in this mermaid forest.

The fish bit their hooks one by one, and then Yun Na put them into the backpack. She was fishing for a fish, and suddenly heard the sound of a creature moving here in the jungle behind her.

Is it a gray wolf or a porcupine? But it doesn't matter which way, anyway, it will be put in the backpack in the end.

Yun Na put away the fishing rod and took out the blood-stained stone from the bag. After turning it over, he felt that it was not enough, so he fumbled for other weapons in the bag.

By the way, after killing the Numagui, Inosuke Zuihei lifted the magical girl's state and returned the transformation stick to her. To be honest, after seeing Hiira Inosuke's transformation, Yun Nai felt a bit disgusted, but he couldn't restrain his eagerness to try.

It is too shameful to be transformed in front of others, but now it is in the forest, and it is not humans, but small animals with system refreshes and no IQ. If you deal with them, the added attributes of the transformation stick are completely enough.

If you try to change your body here...maybe not bad too? In case there is a need to use the transformation stick in the future, it is good to fully understand the function of the transformation stick now and prepare for the future.

Just do it, Yun Na took out the transformation stick from his backpack, drew a circle on the top of his head, and exclaimed, "Magic Girl! Give me the power of love and justice! Transformation—"

A holy white light burst from Yun Na’s chest, and a warm feeling covered her body. Then the original armor fell off, and the flexible and firm water-colored magical girl sailor suit wrapped Yun Na’s body, she seemed to be able to feel her own Charm is rising rapidly...

After ten seconds, the white light went out. Yun Na stood on the spot holding the gleaming transformation stick. Then she waved the transformation stick a few times, feeling that it was not enough, so she took the curry stick from her bag and held it in her hand.

The voice in the jungle was already very close. bring it on! Yun Na squeezed the curry stick tightly, waiting for the beast to emerge from the forest.

Suddenly, she noticed something was wrong.

The figure of a person has appeared in the forest, but the shadow does not look like a beast, but a human being.

A well-knotted, slender hand pushed aside the branches and leaves, and then came out of the forest, a young man who was as handsome as a bamboo with black hair tied behind his head.

He was wearing a haori and black ghost-killing team uniform with a half-centred pattern from the center. He wore a sun wheel around his waist. His skin was very white, and his eyes were blue like the lake behind Yun Na.

The system marks the white name on the young man’s head: [Yoshiyong Tomioka (LV75)]

…Not only people, but also the brothers of Yun Nai and Tanjirou Tanjirou mentioned by Lin Takizao, now the water column of the ghost killing team! What is he doing here?

Yun Na, dressed in a shameful magical girl costume, stood there stunned. The black-haired young man looked at Yun Na in silence, and his lips moved slightly for a long while.

"Just now I saw the dazzling white light across the trees, and I came to the lake and met you again... Are you a mermaid coming out of the lake?"

"..."

Yun Na spit out loudly in his heart. Do you think that a mermaid can go ashore in a pleated skirt and walk around on two legs? However, on the surface, she quickly put away the curry stick in her hand, pressed the skirt and shook her head.

"Well, are you Shui Zhu? I am a member of the Ghost Killing Team, a new swordsman who just joined the team this year. Actually, I am also a disciple of Teacher Lintiao." Yun Na explained, "My name is Yun Na."

Upon hearing this, Tomioka Yiyong showed a somewhat surprised look.

"I know you. Teacher Lintaki mentioned you when he was communicating with me. You are a very talented girl." He recalled and said slowly, his eyes fell on Yun Na again, and looked at her. Of clothing.

Obviously those eyes were pure and puzzled without a hint of strangeness, but Yun Na felt a wave of shame.

"Why did you show up here? Are you still wearing such clothes? Didn't Hidden give you a team uniform?" asked Yoshiyuki Tomioka.

"I'm here also for the mermaid..." Yun Na said, involuntarily turning away his face, "I have a team uniform. As for this suit... it's totally an accident."

"Oh."

Tomioka Yiyong nodded, as if directly accepting Yun Nai's vague words. But such an overly concise answer makes people feel uncomfortable inexplicably.

Yun Na said, "I'll change my clothes first" and ran to the bushes abruptly, lifting the magical girl's state and putting on the armor she was accustomed to wearing again.

It's a pity that she originally wanted to try the magical girl's power.

After returning to the lake, Yun Na found that Tomioka Yiyong was already standing by the giant tree with half of its roots hanging down in the water, tapping the trunk lightly. But the lake was calm, and the crocodile had no tendency to show up at all.

"That, are you looking for a mermaid?" Yun Na couldn't help but walk over to ask.

"Yeah. I heard that there are people here, so I plan to summon it, wanting to get the bones of a mermaid." Tomioka answered.

Yun Na hesitated for a moment, and said, "Actually, I have already summoned a crocodile just now...ah no, mermaid. The mermaid gave me all its bones, and now it has nothing in its hands. So I probably won't do it anymore. Come out."

"Gave you all?"

Tomioka Yiyong was taken aback, turned around, looked at Yun Nai seriously, and suddenly took a step closer to her.

Why are you so close suddenly?

Yun Na was stunned, and saw Tomioka Yoshiyong lowering his head and looking into her eyes, and asked her solemnly: "If this is the case, can you give me the bones of the mermaid? In exchange, you can do whatever you want, please Up."
