I fought demons to reach a circuit board and moved to the floor below to find Rinko. After navigating creepy visions and fighting a rainwalker, I transferred spirits via a telephone. Rinko explained how demons use ether levels to hide their fog-spreading gates, leading to a tense moment with a dangerous device.
Right after I cleansed my path towards the circuit board, a group of demons appeared to stop me. They moved quickly to block my way even before I could reach the controls. I had to stand my ground and take care of them first.
Then I went for the circuit to open up the door to move forward. KK mentioned that he heard the shutter open for us, and he added that Rinko was waiting on a floor below our current position.
After getting to the floor below, I started having a very creepy vision again. The air felt heavy and the walls seemed to shift, which confirmed that we were on the right track. KK mentioned that we should be happy about this sign, as it meant we were getting closer to the source of the trouble.
When I was walking ahead through these creepy visions, KK mentioned that people with an affinity for Ether can sometimes see things that normal people cannot. The world around me looked distorted and strange, and I kept my guard up as I moved through the hallway.
This time, I had to fight a rainwater while I was trapped inside the vision. Unlike the other times where the visions were just memories, a rainwalker came to stop me here.
I kept moving ahead through these scary surroundings as the vision continued to change. Suddenly, some floating objects moved together to make figures that started showing me the path ahead.
At last, I came out of the strange vision and returned to a normal atmosphere. There, I found a telephone nearby and used it to transfer all the spirits I had observed earlier.
I finally reached Rinko, who explained that the Torii gates only become visible at a high ambient ether level. She was working on a special device that messes with ether levels to stop that from happening.
This was exactly how the demons were spreading the deadly fog in secret throughout the mortal world.
Rinko mentioned that the demons must have seen us through the cleansing gates. KK wanted to smash the gate to get out of there quickly, but Rinko warned him against it.
While Rinko was working carefully with the device, KK suddenly sensed company nearby. He suggested that Rinko should push pause on the technical stuff and prepare for a fight, as we were no longer alone in the room.
We'll continue in another post.
