I’m Really Unnerved In Tokyo

"Different from the 'Owari Tokugawa family' who have few descendants and cannot continue their own bloodline, the Kii Tokugawa family has a prosperous bloodline. There have been figures such as the eighth shogun Tokugawa Yoshimune and the fourteenth shogun Tokugawa Iemo. Among the three, there is only one who has adopted the lord of the barbarian and became the general who conquers barbarians."

"Huh? General Zhengyi? Then... their graves are also on top of their heads?"

"Of course not. After the death of the generals of the Tokugawa family, they will build separate temples in the Tokugawa family temple to worship. In the Xianjuyuan tomb, all the members of the Tokugawa family are buried."

While walking slowly along the dark tunnel, Kotori Mayumi began to introduce the history of the Kii Tokugawa family to an "illiterate".

"However, strictly speaking, from the eighth shogun to the last shogun of the Tokugawa clan, they are all the direct blood of the Kii Tokugawa family."

"Sizzling... Kotori Yushi is right, and, until before the war... Sizzling... The Kii Tokugawa family is one of the few rich families in Japan."

In the communication channel, Wu Yuyu's supplement came.

"Oh, wouldn't that be a chance to find some valuable treasure to alleviate my current financial difficulties?"

Upon hearing this topic, Araki Sousuke reflected the pattern of "Fukuzawa Yukichi" in his eyes, and rubbed his hands to look around.

Although the tunnel is dark and dull, it is unobstructed for the two people who are inspired. If they accidentally find an antique or something...

"Even if we find it, half of it will be given to the imperial family. After all, this land has long been donated to the imperial family, and the 'Original Owner', the Kii Tokugawa family is now bankrupt, and there is only one adopted son left. "

Japan's "Lost Property Law" stipulates that unowned buried objects found in other people's property shall be distributed equally between the discoverer and others.

This "property" naturally also includes land.

"It's better than working for nothing..."

As the two walked forward slowly, several motor vehicles that looked abandoned for many years were neatly lined up on the originally empty roadway.

It's like the traffic jam in the Sendagaya Tunnel.

"careful."

Sousuke Araki came to these cars vigilantly, and looked inside through the glass window.

"Hiss...Miss Hanyu, we found a lot of vacant vehicles in the tunnel."

These vehicles, which are neatly arranged like a traffic jam, are empty inside, except for some messy belongings, there is nothing.

Perhaps it was because the windows were sealed, or for other reasons, unlike the dilapidated and decayed exterior, the interior of the vehicle was all preserved as if it were brand new.

It seems that the time in the car is forever frozen at a certain moment when passing through the congested tunnel.

"An unmanned vehicle...Shusha... Interesting... If you can see the license plate number, try to tell me..."

Sousuke Araki squatted behind the car, wiped off the dust on the license plate, and told Mai Hanyu.

"I found it. According to the information of the Metropolitan Police Department, this car and its owner disappeared fifteen years ago..."

After a few seconds, Mai Hanyu's feedback came from the communication channel.

"Hey, within a few kilometers of the Sendagaya Tunnel... Kacha... There have been hundreds of cases of disappearances involving people and cars in the past few decades... But because the traffic surveillance was not as developed as it is now, the investigations ended in nothing. .”

"Those missing vehicles, could it be that they entered the interior of this Shenyin by mistake..."

Kotori Yumami frowned and looked at the abandoned vehicles that looked like expired cans, but felt a feeling of palpitation.

These cars strayed into this place, where did the people in the cars go?

Beside her, Araki Sousuke took out his notebook and recorded the license plate numbers of several nearby cars.

"Although I can't find the body, and I'm not sure if I can destroy this hidden place in the future, at least I'll record the license plate number first, which may help to close the case and give the family some comfort."

The two just walked on the roadway, recording the license plate while checking the surrounding situation.

On the "Taketori Escroll" on Araki Sosuke's waist, the faintly glowing arrow always points to the depth of the tunnel.

"But, with so many 'hidden' vehicles, why haven't we seen a single corpse?"

"Is it possible that those people are still alive?"

The more the two walked in, the more chilled they felt.

"Or, went elsewhere?"

Vehicles with dilapidated appearance and intact interior are like quiet coffins, extending infinitely towards the dark and endless cave.

This silent tunnel is like a monster that devours everything. Over the years, it is unknown how many "disappearance" cases have been created.

"Wait a minute, is the original Sendagaya Tunnel this long?"

After walking for five minutes, Araki Sousuke stopped in a strange way.

The Sendagaya Tunnel is only two to three kilometers long. According to the footsteps of the two, no matter how slow they walked, it should be more than half.

But ahead, there is still a dark, endless tunnel.

"Crack...Estimated based on the pace and speed of a normal person...Shusha...you should have walked out of the tunnel three minutes ago..."

Mai Hanyu, who had been recording various data, reminded him softly in the communication.

"In Shenyin, the space is often distorted, let's take a look."

Kou Yumaumi threw the talisman paper in his hand on the ground and said softly.

Along the way, she kept leaving talisman paper on the ground as a sign of her way back, just to prevent situations like "ghosts hitting the wall".

So far, the models and license plate numbers recorded by the two have not been duplicated.

Besides, with Mr. Araki around, it is reasonable to not be afraid of things like phantom formations to confuse the public.

Therefore, she judged that the space inside this Shenyin has changed, and it has a wider space than the original tunnel.

"Look, there are no cars here."

A hundred meters ahead, the abandoned vehicles that had been lined up in twos and threes along the center of the tunnel stopped abruptly.

"Is there no way?"

A smooth stone wall sealed the end of the dark tunnel tightly.

Araki Sosuke stepped forward and tried to reach out and stroke the wet stone wall, but nothing changed.

"It's like...just plain granite...wait..."

Looking carefully at the unusually "clean" stone wall in front of him, his eyes suddenly fell on a corner beside him.

"footprint?"

Araki Sousuke squatted down and looked at the ground at the corner of the stone wall.

On the pitch-black ground, there is a series of shallow footprints.

Not the marks left by any spirit beings, but actual, ordinary human shoes, footprints stained with dust and mud.

"Could it be that those people in the car, like us, ended up here all the way?"

Looking at the string of footprints, Kou Yumaumi couldn't help thinking that countless people who strayed into this place walked helplessly to the end of the tunnel in the dark and damp tunnel.

"Then... where did they go?"

At the end of the string of footprints, there is also a flat stone wall.
