Yiyong had no objection, and the two immediately packed up their things, and led by Xinjiu, they walked to the mountain where the logging team disappeared.

Xinjiu took out a piece of peanut candy from his pocket, broke it open, and handed half a piece to Yiyong: "I went to the mountain, and it will probably be dark when I come back. Eat some of this to pad your stomach first."

Yi Yong shook his head: "You eat, I'm not hungry, hurry up."

It's really a straight man who refuses three times in a row - Youyou puts the peanut candy into his mouth, and Xinjiu speeds up his pace silently.I don't know if it's simply a difference in physical strength between men and women, but Xinjiu always feels that no matter how fast he runs, Yiyong can always catch up with him with ease.

At the end, Yiyong felt that the speed of Xinjiu was too slow, so he simply picked her up and ran together: he ran as if he was carrying a weight.

Even so, it was already evening when they reached the mountain.Although the sun has not completely set, the sunlight in the woods is already pitiful.

Before Xinjiu asked the girls where the accident happened to the villagers, and marked it on the map - it was a high ground, similar to a cliff, but the side hanging in the air was a steeper slope.

According to the girls, it was a fine day when the logging team went up the mountain. At night, they all died inexplicably at the bottom of the cliff.Some people didn't even leave their bodies intact, and many parts were eaten.

Fortunately, there are no trees on this side of the slope, so the sun can still shine.

Xinjiu looked up at the red sun in the sky, and heaved a sigh of relief.She put away the map and said, "Let's go down and have a look, those lumberjacks had accidents down there."

"Need not."

Yiyong stopped Xinjiu, and jumped down skillfully by himself: "You watch for me from above, and I'll go down to watch."

The slope is very steep, but Yiyong stepped on it like walking on flat ground.Xinjiu is still very good at her own ability - if she were to go up by herself, someone would probably need to drag her, otherwise she might roll all the way to the bottom.

So it's better to stay on top at this time.

Sighing, Xinjiu took advantage of the situation to draw the sun, and drew a card from the five cards: this is also a habit of her to take precautions.

Card-drawing skills have a cooldown time. Draw cards in advance to facilitate skill circulation.

After a while, Yiyong came up, and a lot of mud was rubbed on his clothes, and Yuori's sleeve was cut.Xinjiu hurried over to help him: "Are you all right?"

Yi Yong shook his head: "It's okay."

"The corpse underneath is gone—it should have been eaten by a ghost, and there is still a ghostly aura left there, very strong."

Indeed, according to the setting of this plane, the more humans a ghost eats, the stronger it becomes.And this ghost in the village has eaten at least twenty people.

The corpses of the woodcutters were not collected, because the villagers thought that they offended the Fox Fairy Empress, which would bring death, which was an ominous symbol, so they dumped their corpses in the wild.This also gave the ghost a second chance to come back to eat... In other words, this ghost doesn't even mind eating the corpse in two parts, does it care about the gender of the food?

Yiyong looked up at the sun hanging in the sky - most of it had sunk into the west mountain, and the sunset glow was as bright red as blood.He withdrew his gaze and stretched out his hand towards Xinjiu: "Go back to the village first, the ghosts should come out at night."

The two returned to the village together, and saw Grandma Kanna walking on the empty street with a lantern in her hand from a distance.I don't know if it's because girls always went missing at night before, so the streets of the village are very deserted at night, and only Grandma Kanna walks staggeringly on the road with a lantern.

Xinjiu hurried over to greet Grandma Shenna: "Grandma, it's so late, are you still out alone?"

Seeing the new wine, Grandma Kanna showed joy.She walked over to hold Xin Jiu's hand, and said worriedly: "I see that you haven't come back, and I'm worried that something will happen to you, so I came here to look for you."

"Girls are not allowed to wander outside at night in our village, so please continue to stay at my house temporarily tonight."

Grandma Shenna really had good intentions, Xinjiu thought for a moment, then nodded: "Then I will bother you."

Giyong seemed to want to say something behind him, Xinjiu tugged at his sleeve, and said in a low voice, "Go to Grandma Kanna's house first."

The two returned to her home with Grandma Shenna.Grandma Shenna held the lamp, closed the door, and said in a broken voice, "The nights are not peaceful these days, you'd better not go out at night. If you are captured by monsters, you will die."

As soon as he walked into the room, the new wine was smelled by a strong sweet and greasy sugar cake, which made his throat itchy.She stood at the door for two or three seconds, and saw many half-finished sweets in the room.

In addition, there is also a wooden statue of a fox fairy, whose body is wrapped with old scarlet silk cloth.Xin Jiu couldn't help but look at the wooden statue one more time, and asked Granny Shenna: "Is this... the wooden statue that was placed in your shop today?"

"Yes."

Grandma Kanna looked at the wooden statue with a smile, her expression could even be said to be almost benevolent.She walked up to the wooden statue, replaced it with new offerings and joss sticks, and prayed to it devoutly.

Xinjiu doesn't believe in fox fairies—although she knows that there are indeed fox fairies in the world, for example, there is one in the office next to her who was transferred from another plane after the end.However, because the two do not belong to the same organization, they rarely meet each other.

But no matter how you look at the wooden statue in front of you, except for the fox's head, it has nothing to do with the fox fairy.Shinshu took Yoshiyuki back to the guest room while Grandma Kanna was praying.

After confirming that the doors and windows were closed, Xinjiu called Yiyong over, opened the notebook again in front of him, pointed to the information they collected today, and said: "Look, these things almost all started around the fox fairy—and at the beginning The person who put forward the idea of ​​the fox fairy happened to be Grandma Shenna."

"According to the chronological order, the accident of the logging team happened before Grandma Shenna proposed the fox fairy, and the accidents of the missing girls happened after Grandma Shenna proposed the fox fairy—as if it was to verify Grandma Shenna's theory of the fox fairy. Could it be too coincidental that it happened the same way?"

Yiyong thought for a while, and said, "Grandma Shenna knows there are ghosts?"

"It's not certain yet."

Xinjiu shook his head, and said: "Maybe it's just a coincidence—ghosts also have intelligence. After Grandma Shenna brought up the idea of ​​the fox fairy, she took advantage of the idea of ​​the fox fairy to make everyone fear the fox fairy and hide in their own homes every night... In this way, you don’t even have to step on the spot, and you can go door-to-door to eat it.”

Yi Yong thought for a while, "But no one has had an accident recently."

"Yes, that's the problem."

Xinjiu marked the time under the "Missing Girl" column, saying: "The last missing girl was three days ago. According to normal circumstances, three days is enough time for ghosts to digest. Why is it so late?" Did you not eat others?"

Giyong looked at the summary of information written by Xinjiu and fell into deep thought.At this moment, there was a knock on the door—Xinjiu and Yiyong looked at each other in dismay. Xinjiu was about to get up to open the door, but Yiyong opened the door one step faster than her.

It was Grandma Kanna who knocked on the door.When she saw Yiyong who opened the door, there was a bit of surprise in her eyes: "Do you share a room with Miss Xinjiu?"

Yiyong was silent for two seconds, and said, "No."

So the atmosphere fell into a moment of embarrassment, Grandma Kanna let out a dry cough, and changed the subject: "It's like this... I don't have enough glutinous rice for making sugar cakes, but I'm not feeling well recently, so I might not be able to get rid of the glutinous rice—so I want to ask Miss Xinjiu to help..."

Yiyong rolled up his sleeves, "It's fine if I come."

Yiyong followed Grandma Kanna to hammer glutinous rice in the yard, leaving Xin Jiu alone in the guest room to rest.Xinshu lay on the tatami, playing minesweeper with the system, while thinking about the information he investigated today.

As Yoshiyuki said, Grandma Kanna is very likely to have something to do with the ghost hiding in the dark.So which side is Grandma Kanna on...

Xinjiu took a pen and unconsciously pointed to the information collection on the notebook, and suddenly felt a chill behind his back!Suddenly a huge pressure came from behind - Xinjiu subconsciously covered his neck with his arms, and the next moment sharp nails cut through his sleeves!

The wisteria flowers sewn on the inside of the clothes rolled out, and the fragrance quickly permeated the whole room!

The ghost rushing up from behind slowed down, and Xinjiu took the opportunity to overturn him and crawled away from him. At this moment, she finally saw his appearance: she looked about the same age as her, with hair tied up with dry flower vines, forehead There are two small horns, the fangs are turned out of the lips, and the saliva drips down the fangs.

The scent of wisteria in the air made it grit its teeth violently, its red vertical pupils were intertwined with pain and greed, and its sharp nails scratched the floor with slender marks.Xinjiu glanced behind it, the wall had been breached at some point, and the wooden statue of the Fox Immortal was exposed behind the breached hole.

The wooden statue is hollow, and the back has been fully opened at this moment, and the evil spirit just crawled out of the wooden statue!

I see!No wonder—she and Yiyong can find traces of the evil ghost's actions everywhere, but they can't find the ghost's hiding place. It turns out that it is hidden in the wooden statue of Grandma Kanna!And in Grandma Kanna's shop, the smell of candy cakes is too strong, so it covers up the smell of ghosts.It was the same in the house before, because there were too many sugar cakes piled up, and there was the smell of incense candles and sacrifices, so even if he was brave, he couldn't find the existence of the other party in the first place.

The ghost seemed to be quite scrupulous about those wisterias falling on the ground, intending to bypass the wisterias and attack Xinjiu again; but at this moment Xinjiu had recovered, she took out a wisteria from the system backpack without hesitation. Enhanced version of the loudspeaker: "Mr. Tomioka, help me ahhhhhhhhhhh—"

The author has something to say: Xinjiu: As a nanny, the most important thing is to be from the heart!
