Start a core cabin

"Roar-----!!"

The huge shadow in the grass rushed out, and at this moment Duanmuhuai also saw the opponent's true face clearly.

That's a bear!

It’s strange to say that there aren’t many other things in Japan, only bears and wild boars. As the saying goes, one pig, two bears and three tigers, wild boars and bears are all ranked ahead of tigers, and they are all driven by Japan.

What fun.

But.........Do you think I will be afraid of you?

Seeing the black bear in front of him, Duanmuhuai snorted and clenched his fists. Just kidding, in the world of Journey to the West, he would dare to kill even a black bear spirit. A mere immature black bear would be afraid of a hammer... huh?

However, to Duanmuhuai's surprise, when the black bear was about to pounce, the latter suddenly braked and stopped suddenly. Then it just stared at Duanmuhuai, then roared again, and then - turned around and ran away.

In a moment, he disappeared into the bushes and disappeared.

"……………………"

Duanmuhuai knew what was happening without looking at the system prompts.

So he didn't bother to look at it. He couldn't comfort himself without looking at it. Wasn't it the result of his tyrannical aura being shaken?

At this time, Sha Jiuye also poked his head out from behind Duanmu Huai, looking at the black bear in the distance in surprise. Then she was silent for a moment and sighed.

"As expected of my brother..."

"………………"

If you don't speak, no one will think you are dumb.

Duanmuhuai had a dark face and silently urged Shajiuye to move forward. Although the latter was still a little tired, he did not dare to rest anymore after experiencing the black bear attack just now, so the two of them continued to move up the mountain road.

This mountain is not too high. As a small town far away from the urban area, tourism is also part of the economy here, so there are two ways to reach this mountain. One of them is what Duanmuhuai told Shajiuye to take the cable car, which can go directly to the top of the mountain. The other way is through the winding mountain road, passing a lake and a camping ground in the middle.

Of course, it was not yet camping time, so there were not many outsiders in the town.

Therefore, when Duanmuhuai and Shajiuye came to the camping site along the winding mountain road and saw the tents set up here, they were somewhat surprised.

What was even more surprising were the people in the tent.

"Who are you?! What do you want to do?"

The man who emerged from the tent was startled when he saw Duanmuhuai. He hurriedly backed away and hurriedly picked up a mineral water bottle from the side, as if he saw a black bear walking towards him.

"I have no money! Don't come over!"

"…………"

Duanmuhuai rolled his eyes silently, then turned his head and looked at Shajiuye.

"give it to you."

Seeing Shajiuye in a sailor uniform appearing, the man seemed to calm down a little, and Shajiuye also walked over and explained the identity of himself and others to the man. Only then did the man relax and put down his hands. mineral water bottle.

"Huh...it turns out you are relatives of Mr. Xiujiu...it scared me..."

"You're new here, right?"

Duanmu Huai also came over at this moment. After all, the system had said before that with Duanmu Huai's height and appearance, it would be difficult for people to forget him. So much so that he and Shajiuye haven't come back for so many years, and people here still remember him. And this man obviously didn't know Duanmuhuai, which means that according to the setting, he should have come after Duanmuhuai's brother and sister left.

"My name is Shan Yuan. I am a teacher who teaches at the school below. I have only been here for three or four years."

"It turns out it's you..."

Hearing this, Duanmu Huai reacted. He had heard from the customers in the tavern that there was a teacher who went to the mountains to investigate the earthquake situation. Now it seemed that this was him.

“I heard from other people that you came to the mountains to investigate earthquakes?”

"That's right!"

Speaking of his old profession, Teacher Yamahara suddenly became excited.

"In my opinion, it is very strange that earthquakes occur so frequently here. I checked the geological survey map here. If it is correct, this is not an active seismic zone. And I also specially set up in the mountains, schools and my own home. We bought three seismic recorders for testing. During this period of time, there were active earthquakes on the mountain, so there must be some at the bottom of the mountain..."

“Dong dong dong dong dong!!”

However, before Teacher Yamahara could finish speaking, suddenly there was a vibrating roar not far away, and at the same time, the ground began to tremble. Teacher Yamahara's original excited expression also collapsed at this moment.

"Damn it, it's these construction teams again. It's them who made it impossible for me to measure completely!"

"Construction team? What are they doing here?"

Yesterday in the tavern, Duanmuhuai heard that a construction team had an accident due to the earthquake, but he didn't know what they were doing here.

"They came here to build a new driveway. They said it was going to be done before the tourist season. Well, that's why my seismic test was a complete mess!"

This is natural. The construction team is crushing roads and smashing rocks here every day, so vibrations are inevitable. It would be too difficult to conduct earthquake research under such circumstances.

Duanmu Huai also told him about his previous encounter with a black bear. Hearing that there were bears here, Teacher Yamahara's hair stood on end. He was just a teacher with no power. If he really encountered a black bear, he would probably just lie down and wait for death. In addition, he had not done much research in the past few days, but was tortured to death by the construction team. So Teacher Yamahara also decided to go down the mountain and come back after these guys finished the construction.

After all, his main job is a teacher, and earthquake research is just a hobby. He won't risk his life for this, right?

Before leaving, Teacher Yamahara asked Duanmu Huai and Sha Jiuye if they wanted to go down the mountain with him. Of course, Duanmu Huai's head would definitely not fit into Teacher Yamahara's second-hand car. Duanmu Huai originally wanted Sha Jiuye to go back, but the latter didn't know what was wrong with her and had to follow him, so Duanmu Huai had to take her to move forward.

But then again, they originally came out just to take a walk... Forget it, it doesn't matter.

After passing through the campground, the two came to the driveway under construction. Just as Mr. Yamahara complained, there was noise everywhere, and a group of workers drove all kinds of heavy machinery to and fro.

"Hey, little guys, be careful!"

Seeing Duanmu Huai, a worker driving a bulldozer approaching them also waved to the two and shouted to remind them. Then he turned off the bulldozer, jumped out of the driver's seat, and came to Duanmu Huai and Sha Jiuye.

"Hey, isn't this Duanmu and Sha Jiuye? What are you doing here?"

"We just came to the mountain to take a look. After all, we haven't been here for many years."

"Hahaha, in fact, there has been no change here, except for this."

Hearing Duanmu Huai's answer, the worker smiled and pointed to the driveway under construction.

"Is this for tourism?"

"Yes, there are still many tourists here during the peak tourist season. Although it is possible to take a cable car to the top of the mountain, it is too dangerous after all, so we decided to build a lane directly... Oh, by the way, you should also be careful. There have been frequent earthquakes in the past few days, and there are falling rocks everywhere. Be careful not to get hit when you go down the mountain."

"We will pay attention."

Duanmu Huai nodded and then asked.

"By the way, we encountered a black bear when we came here before..."

"Black bear?"

Hearing this, the worker suddenly became nervous. He raised his head and looked Duanmu Huai and others up and down.

"You are not injured, right?"

"No..."

Before Duanmu Huai finished speaking, he saw Sha Jiuye speaking next to him.

"It's okay, my brother scared it away."

"…………………………"

If you don't speak, no one will think you are dumb.

"Is that so? Hahaha, it's not surprising."

Hearing Sha Jiuye's answer, the worker not only did not doubt it, but laughed and let it go directly.

This made Duanmu Huai even more upset.

"Aren't you afraid of being attacked by wild animals?"

Duanmu Huai changed the subject directly and decisively. If he continued like this, his SAN would be reduced to zero before he saw the evil god.

"We are not afraid. After all, there are many people here and so many construction machinery. Even black bears dare not come here easily. However, we still have to remind everyone to be careful. After all, tourists will come here in the future. It would be troublesome if black bears come back and forth."

Duanmu Huai chatted with the workers for a while. He also hoped that these workers would dig out some sealed ancient relics or something like that during the construction, just like in some games or movies. However, the workers said that everything went very smoothly and nothing strange was dug out...

What a ghost. Is this really asking me to come back for a funeral?

In the end, Duanmu Huai could only return the same way listlessly.

"Brother, do we still want to stay here?"

When returning to the hotel and eating dinner, Sha Jiuye also stared at Duanmu Huai and asked. Facing Sha Jiuye's inquiry, Duanmu Huai thought for a while.

Originally, it was just a few days according to the plan. Now the person has been buried, the funeral has been handled, and there is no clue in the investigation so far... Forget it, let's go, maybe I just think too much. Besides, Duanmu Huai is not good at thinking and finding clues. The clues in Mary's world were found by the bell girl who turned into a black cat. If it were Duanmu Huai, he would not have this mind.

So... whatever you want, I won't serve you anymore.

"Go back."

Duanmu Huai gave a decisive answer.

"I'll leave after breakfast tomorrow morning."

Duanmu Huai was not sure whether there was really a problem here or not. Looking at Sha Jiuye, it didn't seem like there was any problem, so Duanmu Huai simply didn't think about it. He knew that he was not the kind of famous detective who could tell at a glance the other party's identity, occupation, birth, and whether he had been to the hotel with a high school girl last night, so Duanmu Huai didn't intend to spend energy on it at all.

Whether there is or not, let it be.

"Okay, I understand. I'll go back and pack my luggage."

After hearing Duanmu Huai's answer, Sha Jiuye didn't say much, just nodded, then stood up and prepared to go back to the room.

But at this moment...

"Boom boom boom boom..."

Suddenly, the ground began to shake violently, and at the same time, the lights in the entire restaurant flickered. Sha Jiuye, who had just stood up, screamed and fell to the side. Duanmu Huai was quick and grabbed her.

The shaking continued for a while before it slowly stopped. However, the surroundings were already in a mess and the restaurant was dark. Screams could still be heard faintly from all around. Sha Jiuye was also grabbing Duanmu Huai's arm at this moment, and her voice sounded very panicked.

"Brother, brother? What is this...?"

"Earthquake, they said before that there were frequent earthquakes here during this period, but not so severe..."

At this point, Duanmu Huai paused.

"Let's go out and see the situation first, and then talk about it."
