Island of Lingering Mist

[ CONNECTION: SECURE_LOCAL_NET ]SERVER TIME: 03:14:07 // NODE_ID: #404[Thread] It's been a week since I entered this island, but is the fog usually this thick?Author: Taejoo (IP: 112.185.*.*)Views: 104 | Ups: 0I came to this island by boat searching for a friend who has gone missing.

When I first arrived, the locals were incredibly friendly, providing food and shelter, I thought it was just a generous rural village?

But after a few days, there are just too many strange things happening.

When I ask about the person I am looking for, they suddenly change the subject or pretend they haven't heard me. One old lady insisted she saw that person last week, but the village chief claimed that no outsider with that name has ever set foot on this island.

And the weirdest thing is the weather.

Thick fog covers the entire island day and night, and even though I'm right by the sea, there isn't a single breeze. The fog just weighs heavily in the air.

Since last night, I've started to hear strange noises.

Footsteps, as if walking slowly on wet soil, right outside my window, and a low, indistinct muttering voice. When I listen closely, the sound stops suddenly, and when I try to fall asleep again, there's a scratching sound from beyond the wall.

What are these islanders hiding?

Did I come here by mistake? Or maybe... did I touch something I shouldn't have?All Comments (3)Anonymous_88f203:18:22Please, please pack your things and get out on the first boat. No, if the boats aren’t leaving, you should hijack a fishing boat and beg to leave. You're in a really dangerous situation right now. Be careful if you start hearing that sound... After that, experiences differ from person to person. Never open the door at night. Don't respond to anyone calling.Anonymous_77a903:22:15Isn't the above comment just trying to scare you? Could it just be the typical insularity of rural areas...? But I was born on this island, and it's a fact that the atmosphere in the village has completely changed since the typhoon 20 years ago. I have seen the elderly gather at night in places similar to shrines to perform strange rituals, and they definitely don't want outsiders to see it. Stay safe.Anonymous_99c103:30:01By the way, can you tell me what kind of person you are looking for? I think I saw a foreigner last month just staring at the sea near the dock... the locals surrounded that person and took him somewhere. I haven't seen him since.WARNING: UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS TO THIS NETWORK IS STRICTLY PROHIBITED
