I loaded the ghost talk game

Kanoya: "Then I'll clean up and go see Grandpa Watanabe."

Xigui: "Okay, Mr. Watanabe is at the entrance of the village."

Fawn closed the window again and walked to the center of the room in two steps.

I don't know if she woke up suddenly, what is happening in Songze Village is beyond her cognition.

"Watanabe, the old hunter, was killed by me in the state of the leech man?"

Kanoya was very sure that Watanabe was dead last night, and this was verified by Little Old Man No. 3.

So there's nothing wrong with that.

Could it be that the leech man defeated in the forest last night was not Watanabe?

Not right either.

Xigui said that the old hunter Watanabe was attacked by an unknown monster in the forest last night and lost his shotgun.

This is consistent with Kanoya's behavior last night.

What the hell is going on?

Lu Yeya suddenly thought of a piece of unclear information he obtained when he contacted Master last night: "Bliss...and eternal life..."

Are the people of Songze immortal?

Compared with Watanabe's resurrection, Kanoya is now more worried about his situation.

"Since the old hunter Watanabe is not dead, does he know that the so-called monster that attacked him last night was me?"

If he knew, then the deer would be finished.

Perhaps because he saw what his eldest lady was thinking, the little old man No. 3 whispered something beside him, and cooperated with gestures and writing on the ground. After spending some time, he finally conveyed the meaning he wanted to express to Lu Ye Room.

According to the little old man, although Watanabe came back from the dead, he probably didn't know what the "monster" that attacked him last night was.

First of all, the scouts had carefully observed the situation of the Songze people in the "leech man" state last night by virtue of their super high perception ability. Whether it is a living leech man or a "dead" leech man, they have been carefully observed.

The little old man can conclude that after the villagers of Songze become leeches, their intelligence level will decline, and their visual ability is almost non-existent. They only rely on the degenerated and distorted nose with two holes and damp skin to perceive the air. The flow and the scents in it.

This point was repeatedly mentioned during the exploration last night.

When attacking Watanabe, the smell on Kanoya's body was completely eliminated by the scent of "plum blossom".

In that case, Watanabe had no reason to recognize her.

Secondly, before my eldest lady woke up just now, the little old man escaped into [Nothingness] and searched around his home.

Nothing unusual.

The Matsuzawa people did not take any action against Kanoya's home.

Suppose the old hunter Watanabe knew that the monster that attacked him last night was Kanoya, and brought the news back to the village. Then Lu Yeya, who is not a hunter, went out privately and attacked her fellow villagers. She committed such evil deeds. The harmonious and friendly Songze Village must not tolerate her.

The hunters of Matsuzawa should have loaded their guns with live ammunition and surrounded the area around Luyeya's "home".

According to Sugiura Kumiko's information, Matsuzawa Hunter once killed normal people who had not been assimilated and tried to escape from the village.

Then if Kanoya's outing behavior is really discovered, there is no reason to be indulged with special preferential treatment.

Based on these circumstances, the little old man No. 3 thinks that the eldest lady does not need to be too pessimistic, and there is a high probability that it is safe now.

"So our actions last night were not discovered? The old hunter Watanabe called me an 'unknown monster' because he really couldn't tell who I was when I only had a little 'plum blossom' smell on my body?"

After Kanoya finished communicating with the little old man, he calmed down a little.

At the same time, he comforted himself in his heart, even if he didn't have confidence in himself, he should still have confidence in Teacher Yunju's incense and Taoism spells, as well as the magical props given by his master. Because of their care, there must be no problem with how I dealt with the smell last night.

"So, what should I do next? Go to the entrance of the village like everyone else to check on the situation of the old hunter Watanabe?"

"Abba."

Since many people in the village have gone, then Deer House should also go.

While being able to show your face in front of fellow villagers in the village, maybe you can also get a little information about the "resurrection" of Songze people.

"Okay, that's all we can do first."

Kanoya tidied up, opened the door and left the house.

She felt that what she was doing now was dancing on the tip of a knife, which was full of danger.

But this dance on the tip of the knife didn't start at this moment, but it started as early as the moment she fell into Songze Village yesterday.

...

At the entrance of Songze Village, there is a big pine tree, and many villagers are gathered here.

Bustling.

Beside the old-fashioned indigenous Songze people, one or two modern people in fashionable clothes can be seen standing interspersed. People from the old era and people from the new era are very friendly, with joyful smiles on each other’s faces, as if they are really fellow villagers who have been living together in harmony.

When Kanoya came here, he observed the situation carefully, and felt that Matsuzawa people didn't pay much attention to her arrival.

In the middle of the crowd, the old hunter Watanabe and another strong middle-aged man were surrounded by the villagers, telling about their experience of "forest patrol" last night——

"I just smelled a strange smell, and then suddenly felt a pain in the top of my head, and passed out. When I woke up again, it was dawn, and the gun I was carrying was gone..."

Kanoya stood on the periphery of the crowd, stretched his neck on tiptoe and looked in for a while.

She thought in her heart: "It's true that I was the one who attacked them last night, but it's not as simple as knocking them out. The heads of the two leech men were dented by me."

But looking at the two Watanabes now, their heads are intact, and there is no sign of injury at all.

In addition, the two of the deceased, Su Sheng, were completely soaked, as if they had just crawled out of the water, their hair and clothes were dripping wet.

But neither of the two hunters explained anything about it, nor did any of the surrounding villagers ask any questions.

Seems like a pretty normal thing to do.

In addition, Kanoya also noticed that the fishy smell of water on Watanabe's body was significantly stronger and fresher than that of other Matsuzawa people.

"In short, there are wild wolves and monsters in the forest now, and the village is very dangerous..."

Watanabe, who was currently the focus of the crowd, and another hunter were still talking, but their faces were cheerful.

The surrounding villagers also let out a "cheech" laugh from time to time.

With laughter and laughter, the atmosphere at the scene did not seem to be talking about the critical survival of the village. On the contrary, it seems that Watanabe and another hunter are like a pair of comedians, performing comics for everyone.

People in the village gathered at the entrance of the village for a long time, and finally left happily.

Kanoya also left with the crowd, and the people of Matsuzawa treated her more normally throughout the process.

This made her feel a little relieved: "It seems that Songze people really didn't realize my actions last night."

Back home, Fawn took a nap for a while to recharge his batteries.

After getting up, I drank some water and ate more than half of the sandwich because of hunger.

"I don't know when Master will come to save me. My water and food consumption is also a big problem."

Kanoya now has to face many problems.

During the day and afternoon, she stayed in the village, looked around, and met Kumiko Sugiura.

This woman is not trustworthy, and Lu Yeya only talked with her about some things, and heard her tell a little about her daughter Hina.

During the period, Kanoya thought about trying to ask the reason why Matsuzawa people "immortality" from her.

But I don’t know how to say it better, so I can’t just say——

"I sneaked out last night and killed two leech men, but they came back in human form during the day, what do you think?"

As for Sugiura Kumiko, it was only very vague and hinted at Xiaolu's problems with food and drinking water.

But because Kanoya didn't trust her, the topic didn't go well.

...

The time finally reached the night.

After some thought, Deer House decided to sneak out into the forest again like last night.

Thinking of meeting with Sending Wolf first, and exchanging the newly acquired information.

In addition, Kanoya also wanted to check out the place where he fought Watanabe and another hunter last night. These two hunters reincarnated from the dead, and there might be some clues left behind where they "died" last night.

Because of the precise control of the smell, and the little old man No. 3, the operation tonight was also very smooth.

And when we walked to the place where the battle took place last night...

On the way Xiao Lu came here, he had imagined the situation here in his mind, but he never expected it to be like this——

In the dark forest, there were still clear marks of depressions on the trunk of the pine tree that had been smashed by the imperial incense burner.

And in the shadow under the tree, a blue-gray corpse lay there quietly, with its head collapsed and lifeless.

Just like last night.

The only difference is that the blue-gray skin of the leech man seems to be turning to black, which makes the flesh and blood of the corpse look a bit like the pieces of meat that the Songze people snatched up in the cafeteria.

"This leech man... is Watanabe, right?"

Xiao Lu's pupils trembled, and he stood there at a loss.

Even the little old man next to him was confused when he saw this situation, and he didn't make a sound for a long time.

It should be Watanabe right?

The old hunter Watanabe who came back during the day, described the experience of "forest patrol and attack" and what happened last night is also consistent.

But why?

Why is there still a dead body here?

Isn't Watanabe alive?

The forest at night is silent and dark.

In the dark and distant corner, only the summer insects are still chirping. The faint chirping of the insects is like a half-stream rolling, melted into the air by the mountain fog, the outline of the sound is completely indistinct, leaving only a thin layer. The ethereal sound is as cold as the skin of a dead man.

"If the corpse on the ground is Watanabe, then what is that thing that came back to the village during the day? Where did that thing come back from?"

The mountain breeze at night.

Kanoya, who was at a loss in his heart, suddenly felt shuddering and creepy.

"Although I knew from the beginning that Songze was a weird place, it's too weird...Master, come and save me..."

...

The real world, the countermeasure room building.

Last night, I stayed up all night to hold a meeting and discuss the next course of action. By daytime, another spirit exorcist who had just arrived in Tokyo participated in the discussion.

Kensuke Shinken, who was designated as the next operation against the earthquake catfish, is back.

Both Kamiya and Onitsuka went home to rest for a while during the day, but Kamiyagawa returned to the Countermeasures Building after not too long.

When Kamiyagawa entered the building, he saw Masao Changtomo communicating with a clerk in the countermeasure room in the lobby.

Xiaopingtou left the campus prematurely because of a special experience, and followed Uncle Cheng as an assistant for more than half a year. Now that I see him again, I feel that his youthful temperament has faded a lot, and his whole person has become more calm and reliable.

And in him, Kamiyagawa saw the fluctuation of spiritual power.

Changyou should be regarded as a spiritual master by now, and his ability to get started so quickly should be inseparable from the special spirit behind him.

"Mr. Kamiya."

Seeing Kamiya coming in, Changyou took the initiative to say hello.

"How about becoming an uncle?"

"It's still in the conference room. Shortly after you left in the morning, two folklorists also came to the countermeasure room. At the beginning, they speculated that an earthquake related to extraordinary powers might occur in Tokyo."

Nagatomo briefly explained what happened in the unit during the time when Kamiyagawa went home to rest.

"Did those two folklorists bring any new news?"

"Yes, and it is still being discussed and further verified. Now it is said that, combined with the previous earthquake catfish activity trends, and referring to some anomalies in various parts of the prefecture, it is speculated that the next earthquake catfish will appear in Ibaraki Prefecture. and near Tochigi Prefecture.”

This can be regarded as a breakthrough in the news.

At any rate, I have a rough idea of ​​where to go to fight earthquake catfish.

"Oh, and, you came just in time." Changyou handed over a file in his hand, which he took from the clerk who had just talked to him, "Some files were sorted out in the reference room, which are about From Songze Village."

I didn't expect the countermeasure room to have information related to Songze Village.

Kamiya took over the file, and there are very few records related to Matsuzawa——

Judging from the data, we only know that this village was once located in the mountains of Higashi-Izumo, Neshima Prefecture.

It is an isolated existence.

In 1928, the village disappeared completely due to an earthquake and subsequent mudslides.

There are no relevant records in the records of Higashizumo today, but there are still many historical rumors about Matsuzawa Village. The file given by Nagatomo is the result of sorting out these rumors:

Songze Village used to have heresy beliefs and mysterious customs and inheritances that have never been seen in other places.

Songze is called "the hidden village of the gods" by the neighboring villages, and it is a place where missing persons occur frequently.

In the Matsuzawa area, the frequency of natural disasters is unusually high.

In addition, Kamiya also saw an eye-catching name appear in this thin data record——

[According to legend, there was a person who claimed to be Eight Hundred Bhikkhuni who appeared in Songze Village before disappearing. ]

Yabaichuni, a woman in Japanese legend who gained endless life by eating mermaid flesh.
