I teach kendo in Tokyo

He Ma was speechless.

If Mukai Eita wakes up, we can try to see if he still has memory.

Now that he is in a coma, who knows if he still remembers what happened when he was possessed by that ghost thing.

Tamamo said, "Can we go in and see Mr. Mukai?"

The aunt at the information desk nodded: "Of course, but he is just lying down and sleeping, there is nothing interesting to see."

Kazuma: "As a survivor of this tragedy, I would like to express my best wishes."

The aunt then narrowed her eyes and looked at Kazuma's face carefully: "Ah... you are that Kiryu Kazuma. Sorry, sorry, there are many tourists in the town, and I was not there, so I didn't recognize him. Go in. From the middle Just go up the stairs to the second floor and walk all the way to the end.”

Kazuma nodded, exchanged glances with the two girls, and walked towards the stairs.

Following the instructions of the aunt at the information desk, Kazuma quickly arrived at Mukai Eita's room.

The room was transformed into a ward. In addition to beds, it also had ventilators, heart rate monitors and other equipment.

Eita Mukai lay on the bed, hanging from a bottle of unlabeled intravenous drip—probably glucose used to maintain body energy.

Of course, it could also be some kind of black-tech injection made by the Americans.

In this time and space, the Soviet Union really has super soldiers, so it is normal for the United States to pull out some black technology that it has never seen in its life.

Kazuma noticed that Tamamo pinched his hand after entering the house, and he didn't know what the effect was.

After arriving at Eita Mukai's bedside, Kazuma cleared his throat and said, "Well, Mukai-san, I have recovered. As the only two survivors of this incident, I hope you can recover soon."

After talking to Kazuma, Honami put the fruit she bought when she just passed the convenience store on Mukai Eita's bedside table.

There are already a lot of fruits placed there, and it seems that many people have come to visit - the entire area is now cordoned off, and they should all be from the village.

No wonder when I went to the convenience store to buy fruit, the convenience store man complained that the stock of freshly replenished fruit was running low. They were probably all bought by the villagers and then delivered to Mukai Eita's bedside table.

I can’t tell that Eita Mukai is quite popular.

After delivering the fruits, there was nothing else to do. If Kazuma was a bad guy, he would probably silence him at this time, but it was a pity that Kazuma was a good guy.

We can only pray that Eita Mukai has forgotten everything that happened in the social office and will not be able to provide any useful information to the CIA.

Kazuma was about to turn around and leave when he keenly heard footsteps in the corridor outside the door.

The steps were slow and light, as if she were an old lady moving slowly down the corridor.

Kazuma glanced at Tamamo, and sure enough she heard the footsteps, and then they both turned to look at the door.

Honami obviously didn't hear the footsteps. Seeing Kazuma and Tamamo turn their heads, she also turned her head and looked at the door curiously.

The door was opened by old hands under the gaze of three people. A kind-hearted old lady entered the door and was stunned for a moment when she saw Kazuma and others.

The basin held by the old lady's hand shook a little because of this stunned movement, and the contents in the basin made a clanging sound.

Then the old lady said: "I didn't expect that there are young children coming to visit Yingtai. Are they tourists?"

Kazuma: "Like Mukai-san, I am a survivor of this incident. Let me..."

"Oh," the old lady interrupted Kazuma, "You have your heart, young man."

As she spoke, she entered the ward, put the washbasin in her hand on the ground, and pushed it under the bed.

Kazuma saw toothbrushing utensils, a soap dish, and other things in the basin.

The old lady probably just left to wash up.

Kazuma: "Are you Mukai-san's mother?"

"Yeah, what else could it be?" The old lady pulled up the chair next to the bed and sat down. She breathed a sigh of relief and said to Kazuma while rubbing her knees, "My son and I are the only ones left in our family. He fell on the bed like this and couldn't get up, so I had to take care of him."

Kazuma: "Mukai-san doesn't have a wife?"

"There was one girl from outside, whom my son met when he was in college."

As the old lady spoke, she raised her eyes and glanced at Honami next to Kazuma: "Well, she is a bit similar to this girl... just a little bit, not as beautiful, not as good in figure, but in short, a very pleasing girl. "

Kazuma glanced at Honami, briefly constructed the image of low-profile Honami in his mind, and then asked curiously: "Then...where is she now?"

"Run away. Life in this ravine is boring, like a pool of stagnant water. After the initial novelty, the girl misses the outside even more. This is normal. If I were decades younger, I would run away too." The old lady said lightly explain.

Kazuma: "But aren't you still here?"

"I left originally," the old lady looked at the starry sky outside the window. "I first studied at a women's college in Sendai, and then went to Tokyo. But not long after, there was a big earthquake, and then the fire caused by the earthquake burned for several days. In a few nights, all the wooden houses in Tokyo were burned down, including the apartment I rented."

Kazuma: "And you came back?"

"How can it be so easy to come back? I finally got to Tokyo. So I decided to stay in Tokyo, but because my luggage and everything was burned, the money and seals were all in the luggage, so I had to try first. He went to work as a helper in a wealthy family.

"After all, I am a lady from a landlord's family - even though I am a landlord in a mountain village. Life was quite difficult at the beginning, but I think it is great to be able to stay in Tokyo.

"However, difficult things came one after another. First, the banks closed down. Those that survived could not withdraw money. People crowded in front of the banks and shouted loudly. The police sent by the government tried hard to maintain order.

"I went to withdraw money with the wife of the family where I worked. The two women almost died in the turbulent crowd. But I could barely survive. Until one day, there were two men dressed all in black. Guys knocking on the door.”

When Kazuma heard "two guys dressed in black", his first reaction was that gin and vodka were coming.

The old lady looked at Kazuma and gave it a try: "Who do you think these two people are?"

Of course Kazuma would not answer the black organization. Based on the age of the story told by the old lady, he guessed: "Tekko?"

"Yes, the spies are coming to arrest the man of the house where I work. The man is a writer. He seemed to have expected that he would be targeted. Seeing that the situation was not going well, he jumped out of the window and left. The leading spy pulled out his gun and rushed over. Window, fire through the window.

“My wife pushed her body against the agent to stop him from shooting the man, but another agent shot her twice and she fell down.

“The agents also jumped out of the window and left the room to chase the male host.

"I turned my wife over, who was still alive, and tried to stop her bleeding, but she said, 'No, I probably can't survive.'

"Then she said: 'Come on, Weixiao, something bad is going to happen in this country. Come on, go back to your hometown.'"

Kazuma raised his eyebrows: "Excuse me, what year did this happen?"

"1931. The man of the house where I work likes to use the Gregorian calendar to mark the year, but doesn't like to use the year number, so I am also very sensitive to the Gregorian calendar."

said the old lady.

There is an emperor in Japan, so the emperor's reign name is used in various formal occasions, which is not what Ma Chu is used to when traveling through time.

Many old Japanese people only remember the emperor's reign and not the Gregorian calendar.

The Japanese born after the war may be able to quickly complete the conversion between the emperor's year and the Gregorian calendar year in order to make it easier for them to kneel down and lick the American emperor.

In 1931, Eita Mukai's mother, Yui Mukai, worked in the house of a writer who might be a left-winger or even..., and then met the TKO Koko agents who arrested the writer. The writer's wife told her to leave Tokyo as soon as possible before she died, and Tokyo Something bad is going to happen...

I feel like this is talking about Japan's comprehensive right turn and politicalization.

The old lady continued: "So I returned to this mountain village, and then I accepted a man who married into my family as my husband, and lived like this until the end of the war.

"Later I heard that many of the female students who graduated from Sendai No. 1 Women's High School like me had very miserable endings. Although I live a life like a backwater in this closed mountain village, at least I am alive."

After saying this, the old lady paused and then returned to the beginning: "But Yingtai's wife did not have the same experience as me. She behaved more and more like a caged bird, so when she suddenly disappeared one day , I’m not surprised at all.”

Kazuma said "Yes", but suddenly he was shocked: "Wait, Ms. Mukai... disappeared suddenly? Didn't anyone see her leaving?"

"I saw it. But I didn't tell anyone." The old lady said, "I acquiesced to her leaving. Because I could understand her thoughts. From then on, Eita seemed to be a different person."

Kazuma frowned: A different person?

I'm afraid I haven't been possessed by that thing since then.

The old lady noticed the change in Kazuma's expression and asked, "What's wrong?"

"No, it's nothing." Kazuma waved his hand, "Mr. Mukai, didn't he try to find his wife?"

"No. Perhaps Eita also realized that continuing to stay in such a mountain village would be a torture for his wife. He likes her so much, and he probably hopes that she can go to a broader world.

"But after his wife left, Eita began to promote the modernization of the village. He first bought a switchboard and repaired the lines, so that every household in the village had telephone access.

“Then he leveled roads, repaired houses, and bought a color TV to put in the village hall activity room so that everyone could watch the programs of the TV station in Sendai. If the signal was good, you could occasionally watch the TV station in Tokyo.

"He also got a set of movie equipment from somewhere and showed some already released movies for everyone to watch."

When Kazuma heard this, he immediately recalled the time when he went to find the god. When the god talked about "The Story of Torajiro", Kazuma asked him, "There is no movie theater in the hot spring street. Where did you see the story of Torajiro?" As a result, the Lord of God paused imperceptibly.

Could it be related to this?

So Kazuma interrupted the old lady and asked: "When Eita Mukai organized a movie screening in the village, did he let the story of Torajiro go?"

The old lady immediately replied: "Yes. Of course there is. Torajiro's story is everyone's favorite movie series in the village. Moreover, once again, the priest of Meiquan Shrine discovered that his son actually played a supporting role in Torajiro's story."

So, the divine master's imperceptible pause before was just because he saw his son playing a small role?

I always feel like this explanation is a bit far-fetched.

Just as Kazuma was about to think about it carefully, the old lady continued: "A few years ago, he heard that Hantian, who moved out of the village, became a deputy minister in the Ministry of Transport, so he brought many gifts to Tokyo to visit and brought them back when he came back. Investment and Tourism Development Plan of the Ministry of Transport.”

The old lady reached out and stroked her son's head: "These plans have improved the living conditions in the village, that's why the whole village respects him so much. Look at these fruits. There are so many gifts. If my son can't wake up, I, an old lady, can't eat them." Not finished.”

Kazuma also glanced at the fruits piled on the bedside table.

There is also his contribution there - even though Honami paid for it.

The old lady sighed again: "How could something like this happen? If word spreads about this incident, the new cholera has killed so many people here. Who will come here to travel in the future? Yingtai is so bedridden , all his efforts will be in vain..."

Kazuma felt that maybe the CIA and the Self-Defense Forces would implement a complete information blockade.

He comforted the old lady: "Mr. Eita Mukai will definitely recover. Everything will be fine."

"I hope so." the old lady said.

Kazuma stared at the old lady for a few seconds, making sure that she had nothing else to say, and then asked, "Can I take a look at the projector Mr. Mukai got?"

"Of course. Just put it in the next room. I'll get it for you..."

Kazuma held the old lady down and said, "No, your legs and feet are inconvenient. Let's go to the next room and take care of it ourselves."

The old lady nodded: "Then you go."

So Hema said goodbye to the old lady and went to the next door room. Suddenly, he saw a movie projector among a pile of debris.

When I was a child in my last life, movie theaters were not as popular as they are now, and movies were mainly screened through official organized screenings.

The projector in the utility room looks similar to the one used by the film projection team in Hema's memory when he was a child.

Kazuma got closer and looked at the projector carefully, and then his sharp eyes noticed that something seemed to have been wiped off with heavy paint on the side of the projector.

But some of the paint has peeled off, exposing the edges of the text underneath.

Kazuma immediately touched the paint with his fingers. After removing the dry paint, the unit number was revealed.

Obviously this is the unit designation of the Japanese army. It is the designation of the modern Japan Ground Self-Defense Force. It does not continue the general rules of the old Japanese army, and it will definitely not be confused.

This projector was probably an entertainment device owned by an old Japanese army unit.

Kazuma immediately thought of the base that caused the tragedy twice - it should be nearby.

So after Eita Mukai was controlled by that thing, he returned to the base, dug out the projector, painted it, and used it directly.

Then why did the God Master pause imperceptibly when Kazuma asked him where he read "The Story of Torajiro"?

Is it really just a reminder that my son played a minor role in this series of movies?

While Kazuma was thinking, he put the projector back in place, picked up the paint in the utility room, and covered up the newly exposed number.

He couldn't let the CIA know that Kiryu Kazuma knew the secret of this projector.

After doing this, Kazuma crossed his arms and fell into deep thought.

He always felt like he was close to piecing together the whole story.

What did the Lord God say to Watanabe-kun, how did Watanabe-kun die, and how did Oda-kun turn into a vegetative state? All of these can be put together as long as you find one or two pieces.
