Rebirth of Tokyo, open the wrong plug-in

The car departs from Tokyo and takes the national highway to Fukasawa.

And after arriving at Fukasawa, we took the trail and rushed to Fujino Terumi’s hometown.

According to Fujino Terumi, Shirobe Village is a very poor and backward place. The bus to the outside world only runs once a day, and the time is not very fixed. If there is no signal and network, it would not be completely isolated from the outside world.

Too much.

Terumi Fujino sat in the passenger seat.

The scenery outside the window changed, and she turned to look at Reiko Asakawa, who exuded the mature charm of a woman and was not inferior to her in appearance.

"How did Detective Asakawa and Kiryu-kun meet?"

Kiryu Yiyi, who was about to doze off in the back seat, couldn't help but thought to himself: "I've asked him a dozen times on the way after leaving Tokyo!"

"We met unexpectedly because we were investigating a case," Asakawa Reiko introduced impatiently: "Actually, I haven't known each other for a long time, but I feel that we are very familiar with each other. Maybe this is the so-called fate."

Kiryu Yiyi nodded secretly in his heart: "It is indeed fate. I am almost going to be your son's stepfather."

"Where's Ms. Fujino? You were an idol before, right?" Reiko Asakawa asked: "You seem to be very familiar with the first-class younger brother and have a very close relationship... You have not dated before, right?"

Kiryu Yishi, who was sitting in the back seat, suddenly felt that the air in the car was a little cold. Was it because the air conditioner suddenly lowered the temperature?

So at this time, it would be better for me to continue pretending to be asleep.

Fujino Terumi did not answer this question: "I have been saved by Kiryu-kun...many times. He is a very brave and reliable person."

"Yeah" Asakawa Reiko nodded, she was convinced of this.

When taking on this case, Asakawa Reiko thought that if Kiryu Yishi was with her, there would be no problem.

Kiryu Yiyi, who closed his eyes and pretended to sleep, was secretly satisfied. It seemed that the two of them were very discerning and could actually see their own advantages.

The road became more and more bumpy, and Kiryu Ichishi was almost shaken to the point of having his brains shaken.

When he opened his eyes, he found Terumi Fujino turning to look at him.

"Kiryu-kun, you're awake."

"Uh, yes, haha." Kiryu nodded. Feeling Reiko Asakawa's gaze in the rearview mirror, he said guiltily, "I didn't expect it to be so far away."

"Because Shirobe Village is a very backward small village." Fujino Terumi nodded, and then said apologetically: "Thank you so much, Miss Asakawa, you are the only one among us who has a driver's license."

"It's not hard. When I was a reporter, I had to run around. It was even more tiring than this."

"Hey, was Miss Asakawa a reporter before?"

"Yes." Reiko Asakawa nodded: "And he is also a reporter investigating ghost stories. I once encountered a particularly interesting ghost story. It was actually made up by a child who didn't want to do his homework..."

The two chatted very lively. Although they used honorifics for each other, you could probably feel the closeness between them from the conversation.

Kiryu Yishi felt something was not right. The topics they talked about just now felt like they were testing each other. It was like two generals meeting on the battlefield and their swords clashing. However, it was not the time to fight, so they often touched each other slightly.

Open distance.

Are you here talking about interesting things now?

"The Shirabe Village is ahead!"

Fujino Terumi pointed at the street sign in surprise.

Speaking of Shirobe Village, Fujino Terumi seems to have countless memories: "The village chief's uncle was very kind to me, and there was a cathedral in the village. Father Saito was a very gentle man, but at that time my father was going to Tokyo for work.

Our family just moved out of Baibe Village because of the business. I remember it was very poor here."

The car enters Baibe Village.

Rows of brand new factories appeared before our eyes, completely different from what Terumi Fujino said.

"Could it be that Taisha has built a factory here?" Terumi Fujino was a little surprised.

The car stopped at the intersection.

After Fujino Terumi got out of the car, she took the initiative to invite: "Kiryu-kun, I want to go to the village chief uncle first, maybe he knows what happened to my dad."

Reiko Asakawa also nodded: "First-class young man, Ms. Fujino is our client, so she will be taken care of by you. I will first find a place to park, and then see if there is a hotel where I can stay."

Each of them decided Kiryu Ichizu's next work with just one sentence. Kiryu Ichizu nodded and just said to Reiko Asakawa: "Remember to call me at any time."

"Don't worry, it will definitely happen."

There is no concrete road built in the village. Kiryu Yiyi is carrying a schoolbag and wearing sneakers on the dirt road, following behind Fujino Terumi.

She is wearing a long skirt today and has a braid hanging diagonally on her shoulders. This hairstyle is scientifically called the "Mrs. Dangerous" hairstyle, which is not very auspicious.

Wearing a white sun hat on his head.

It's just that Fujino Terumi has become much more mature than when we first met her in school.

"Miss Asakawa is a very gentle person," Fujino Terumi said suddenly.

"Yeah" Kiryu nodded, not knowing how to answer.

In fact, he himself didn't know much about Reiko Asakawa, and their relationship with her was also vague, just like with Terumi Fujino.

Even with the [social] plug-in, it is difficult for people to figure out emotional issues, and step-by-step procedures are not suitable for anyone...probably.

The atmosphere was a little awkward.

Kiryu Yiichi decided to ask the question first before Fujino Terumi asked, so as to prevent the topic from developing in an uncontrollable direction.

"Have you heard any stories about the local legends of Shirabe Village from your father or your mother?"

What's the point of falling in love? There's an invasion here. If you don't solve it, your lazy and exciting daily life will definitely be destroyed.

"I heard about it when I was a child." Fujino Terumi nodded: "It seems to be a legend about demons or something...but I can't remember it clearly. It's like a disobedient child being taken away by a master of the Eighth Shaku. I was still very scared when I was a child.

, but when you grow up, you will only think it is a ridiculous joke."

Kiryu nodded. Indeed, there are similar stories made up by adults to scare children all over the world.

In his previous life, when he was a child, his family had heard that there were savages who would steal children, so he was often frightened and did not dare to go out at night.

It happened that a stern-faced old man walked by on the opposite side, and Fujino Terumi took the initiative to say hello.

"Hello!"

But the other party didn't even turn his head, and just walked over quietly.

Fujino Terumi was a little embarrassed: "Maybe it's been too long since I've been back, so people don't remember me."

"I don't think so." Kiryu looked at the old man's back in confusion.

The other person's eyes were dull. I wonder if he was wandering in thought or... a walking zombie?

A few minutes later.

Kiryu Ichizu, who was walking side by side with Fujino Terumi, said: "Speaking of which, except for the old man I met just now, there is not a single person on the street in Shirobe Village."

"Maybe it's because young people have gone to cities to work," Fujino Terumi said. "There are many opportunities in big cities, but in small places like Shirabe Village... it doesn't fit in with young people's ideas to stay."

"Um"

Kiryu nodded.

Of course it would make sense if it were another place, but it was very likely that this place had something to do with the "devil", so he couldn't stop thinking about it.
