Inventory

This document is located in the Coastal Forest location. It can be found in the first region with the Sheltered Ridge base camp. It is located inside a wrecked jeep, near the dead hunter with the bow. The coordinates are 53N 712353 UTM 3416078.

It... it happened again. Private Kosuke. He was on gate duty last night. No one heard anything. And this morning, they found his helmet... nothing else. No tracks of his leaving, no blood, no shell casings, nothing!

The others are talking about Chinese partisans, maybe even American G.I.'s. Damned fools! They have no idea what's happening here. It is the Oni who stalk us. The restless, evil spirits, they live in the old places of this island. We are trespassers here, and they are watching us, waiting.

All these wrecks, the ruins... this entire island is a graveyard. It's only a matter of time, the Oni will come for us.
