The system seemed to sense his passion, and immediately sounded a notification tone.

——Discover the branch event "Autumn Mountain Rider: Catch the Shrimp (4 Stars)"

——Please go to Qiuming Mountain at midnight to compete with the "Car God".

There is still a task to pick up?

Not bad!

Xu Ming felt that the system was getting better and better.

He just lacks the weirdness right now, so that he can turn the exorcism phone into an exorcism machine gun.

And although he has a driver at home, if he goes out to do missions at night, those places are not suitable for ordinary people to participate.

It would be great if Akinayama could be accepted as a Shikigami and become his exclusive driver at night.

So Xu Ming took the task without hesitation.

Xu Ming searched online first, and sure enough, he found some clues.

Just a year ago, an AE86 had an accident when going down the mountain from Qiuming Mountain. It broke through the guardrail and fell off the cliff.

The AE86 caught fire on the spot, and when rescuers arrived, there was only a burned bare frame and a charred corpse sitting in the driver's seat.

The name of the deceased was Fujiwara Takumi.

Because his father was a well-known professional rally driver, he caused a bit of a stir at the time.

He immediately sent a message to Megumi Kato, and got information from her about Takumi Fujiwara's life.

Seeing the information unknown to outsiders, Xu Ming showed an expression of inexplicable meaning...

At the top of Qiuming Mountain, it's twelve o'clock at noon.

Hiroichi Ikeno stood behind the convenience store cashier and yawned boredly.

Now the business is getting worse and worse.

Due to the rugged mountain roads and narrow roads of this famous autumn mountain, ordinary vehicles would rather detour than pass here.

However, such a rugged and complicated mountain road is quite popular with the underground racers.

Coupled with the fact that the roads here are infrequently used and the cost of installing surveillance equipment is too high, there are no speed cameras.

In the past, every night, a large number of drag racing parties specially ran here to hold underground car races.

Because of this, Ikeno Koichi chose to open a convenience store in this remote corner.

Thanks to the drag racing party, the business here was so full every night that he even had to hire two extra night shift workers.

Too bad that's all in the past.

Since that incident happened a year ago, Qiu Mingshan has become more and more deserted at night.

If this continues, he will not even be able to pay the rent.

Hiroshi Ikeno couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

He is already considering whether to sell the store and leave here.

The roar of an engine interrupted his thoughts.

Koichi Ikeno didn't care, there are still sporadic cars passing by occasionally during the day.

Just what he didn't expect.

squeak!

A Mercedes-Benz SUV drove into the rest area and parked in the parking lot in front of the convenience store.

Then Ikeno Hiroichi saw a young man carrying a hiking bag, opened the car door, and walked towards the convenience store.

This young man is Xu Ming.

After taking over the mission, the next morning, Xu Ming asked the driver to take him to Qiu Mingshan immediately after breakfast.

The road was rugged and narrow, with lush trees on both sides and few cars passing by. Other than that, Xu Ming didn't find anything unusual.

The SUV went straight up the mountain road, and Xu Ming soon found the convenience store on the top of the mountain.

He checked the information and found that this is a 24-hour convenience store.

Xu Ming estimated that the people in the convenience store should know something.

Ding!

He just pushed open the door of the convenience store.

"welcome!"

A uniformed staff member with a mustache stood behind the cash register, looking at him with a smile on his face.

Xu Ming nodded, then walked to the shelf, bought a juvenile weekly magazine Jump, took two more bottles of drinks, and walked to the cashier.

Chenghui, a total of 610 yen!

Ikeno Hiroichi immediately calculated the total price quickly.

Xu Ming took out a Fuze Yuji and handed it to him, and said something at the same time.

"keep the change."

Koichi Ikeno had just accepted the [-]-yen banknote with a smile, and his expression changed slightly when he heard Xu Ming's words.

He hesitated for a moment, then asked cautiously:

"Guest, is there anything I can help you with?"

Xu Ming smiled and nodded.

"Do you know AE86 and Fujiwara Takumi?"

Hiroshi Ikeno's expression changed suddenly.

"How did the guest know...!?"

After a while, Ikeno Koichi's expression calmed down.

"What does the guest want to know?"

Xu Ming gave him a meaningful look.

"It seems that you know a lot, uncle."

Hiroshi Ikeno sighed.

"Indeed." "Can you tell me more about it?"

Hiroshi Ikeno hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

"Well, there are no guests now anyway..."

Then he began to tell.

"I first met Fujiwara Takumi two years ago.

At that time, he had just won a master from an expedition from another county in an underground car race, and he became famous in Qiu Mingshan.

As he continued to defeat the masters from all walks of life, his fame grew.

I just didn't expect...it's a pity, hey..."

Ikeno Hiroshi sighed and continued:

"He used to come to Qiu Mingshan to participate in the underground car race at night, and occasionally came to sit in the store.

I've seen it several times and was a very shy kid.

Did not expect such a thing to happen. "

"What happened a year ago, do you remember?"

Hiroshi Ikeno nodded.

"It happened to be raining heavily that night, and the originally scheduled underground car race was cancelled.

As a result, he drove up the mountain alone.

After he parked the car, he walked into the store with a distraught look on his face, and only bought a few bottles of beer. "

As Koichi Ikeno said, he pointed to the seat closest to the corner of the row of seats facing the window.

"Here~ I remember it very clearly. He was sitting there at that time, pouring wine bottle after bottle into his mouth, and then lay down on the table all at once."

Speaking of this, Ike Yehong suddenly showed a trace of remorse on his face.

"I thought he was asleep at the time, so I ignored him.

It just so happened that I had a bad stomach from eating again that night...

When I came out of the bathroom, he was gone, and the AE86 parked outside was driven away.

Then on the second day, several reporters suddenly came up the mountain, and I realized that he drove over the guardrail and fell off the cliff..."

Xu Ming opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.

Rainy nights, mountain roads, drunk driving, this guy thinks he didn't die fast enough.

so:

There are thousands of roads, safety first.

Driving and drinking, want to die and leave quickly.

Or... Fujiwara Takumi simply wanted to die.

Just as Xu Ming was thinking, he suddenly heard Chi Yehong's tone full of remorse.

"I shouldn't have sold him the wine that night!

I should have kept an eye on him! "

Xu Ming patted him on the shoulder.

"Uncle, it's not your fault.

He probably wanted to leave this world in this way..."
