Start a Core Pod

Chapter 1337 Accident (I rolled on the bed and climbed onto the bed)

"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 places 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 being driven away 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 even dare to kill 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 stared at Duanmu Huai, then let out another roar, 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...I was shocked..."

"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 I think the people below the mountain must also be..."

"Dong-dong-dong-dong!"

However, before Teacher Yamahara finished 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 crushes roads and rocks here every day, so vibrations are inevitable. It would be too difficult to conduct earthquake research under such circumstances.

Duanmuhuai also told him about his previous encounter with a black bear. Hearing that there was a bear here, Teacher Shanyuan's hair suddenly stood up. He was just a weak teacher. If he really encountered a black bear, he would probably be just one. Able to lie down and wait for death. In addition, he had not done much research during the past few days, but was tortured to death by the construction team, so Teacher Yamahara decisively decided to go down the mountain and come back after these guys completed the construction.

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

Before leaving, Teacher Shanyuan asked Duanmuhuai and Shajiuye if they wanted to go down the mountain with him. Of course, Duanmuhuai's head would definitely not fit into Teacher Shanyuan's second-hand car. Originally, Duanmuhuai wanted Shajiuye to go back. However, the latter didn't know what was wrong and insisted on following him, so Duanmu Huai had no choice but to lead her forward.

But then again, originally they just came out for a walk...forget it, it doesn't matter. After passing through the camping ground, the two came to the driveway that was being built. Just like Mr. Yamahara complained, there was noise everywhere, and there were a group of workers driving various heavy machinery back and forth.

"Hey, little guys, be careful!"

Seeing Duanmu Huai, a worker driving a shovel who approached them also waved to the two and shouted loudly to remind them. Then he turned off the shovel, jumped down from the driver's seat, and came to Duanmuhuai and Shajiuye.

"Hey, aren't these Duanmu and Shajiuye? What are you doing here?"

"Let's just take a walk around the mountain. After all, we haven't been here for many years."

"Hahaha, actually nothing has changed here, except for this."

Hearing Duanmuhuai's answer, the worker smiled and pointed to the driveway being built.

"Is this for traveling?"

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

"We'll keep an eye out."

Duanmuhuai nodded, then asked.

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

"Black bear?"

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

"You are not injured."

"without……"

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.

"That's it, hahaha, it's not surprising."

After hearing Shajiuye's answer, the worker not only had no doubts, but laughed and felt relieved.

This made Duanmu Huai even more unhappy.

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

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

"We're not afraid. After all, there are so many people here and there are so many construction machinery that even black bears don't dare to come here easily. However, we still have to remind everyone to be careful. After all, tourists will be here in the future. If a black bear comes back and forth, It’s also a problem.”

Duanmuhuai chatted with the workers for a while. He also hoped that it would be like some games or movies, where these workers dug up some sealed ancient relics during construction, but the workers said nothing. It went very smoothly and didn't dig out anything weird...

Damn it, are you really asking yourself to come back for a funeral?

In the end, Duanmuhuai could only return listlessly along the same route.

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

Back at the hotel, during dinner, Shajiuye stared at Duanmuhuai and asked. Facing Shajiuye's inquiry, Duanmuhuai thought for a while.

It was originally just a few days according to the plan, but now the person has been buried, the funeral has been dealt with, and there are no clues so far in the investigation... Forget it, just leave, maybe I think too much. Besides, Duanmu Huai is not good at using his brain and finding clues. Those clues in Mary's world were discovered by Ling Nu who turned into a black cat. If it were Duan Mu Huai, he wouldn't have such thoughts.

So... do whatever you want, I won't wait for you anymore.

"Return."

Duanmu Huai gave a decisive answer.

"We'll leave after breakfast tomorrow morning."

Duanmuhuai wasn't sure whether there was really a problem here or not, and it didn't look like there was anything wrong with Shajiuye, so Duanmuhuai 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 person's identity, career, birth, and whether he had been in a hotel with a female high school student last night, so Duanmu Huai had no intention of spending any energy on it.

Whether there is or not, so be it.

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

After hearing Duanmuhuai's answer, Shajiuye didn't say much, just nodded, then stood up and prepared to go back to the room.

But at this moment......

"Rumble, rumble, rumble..."

Suddenly, the ground began to shake violently. At the same time, the lights in the entire restaurant flickered on and off. Shajiuye, who had just stood up, screamed and fell to the side. Duanmu Huai, with his quick eyes and quick hands, caught her.

The shaking continued for a while, and then slowly stopped, but the surroundings were already in chaos, and the restaurant was also dark. You can still vaguely hear screams coming from all around. Shajiuye was also holding Duanmuhuai's arm at this moment, his voice sounded very panicked.

"Brother, brother? This is...?"

"An earthquake. They said before that there were frequent earthquakes here during this period, but they were not this severe..."

Having said this, Duanmuhuai paused.

"We'd better go out and check the situation first, and then we'll talk."
