This Japanese Story Is Not Too Cold

Bringing the poor, the Kagura bell that was enshrined in the soul of Asamiya Eiji who was still sleeping, and finally sorting out other things, Bei Chuanji put on his backpack and returned to the gate of Raito Castle.

Different from Beichuan Temple, Laihu Castle chooses light and simple travel.

But in fact, there is a reason for him to travel lightly.

According to Raitojo, he also has a property in Mikawa, which has all the daily necessities he needs, so he doesn't need to bring anything.

For his statement, Beichuan Temple can only be regarded as a rich and famous author in Laihu City.

As a full-time author, Lai Hucheng's resume is actually quite good compared to the average author who can't write anything.

He also completed a good work more than ten years ago, and he had already accumulated a good fortune at that time.

That money has supported him until today, and until the completion of The Lost Mikawa, he finally got rid of the embarrassment and had a lot of extra money in his hand. Bought by royalties from Mikawa.

The two of them chatted for a while in the car about what they knew about Yuchuan town.

More than ten years ago, there was indeed a famous ceremony held beside Yuchuan Elementary School. It is said that people in the town at that time invited eminent monks to seal the elementary school. It seems that the children in the town at that time often attended Yuchuan Elementary School. Missing mysteriously nearby.

Looking at the road ahead, Raihucheng continued to explain: After that, Yuchuan Elementary School was listed as a restricted area, especially for children. This is also the prototype of my creation.

Really? Beichuan Temple rubbed his chin, his eyes flickered and continued: But after the seal and the area of ​​Yuchuan Elementary School were closed, there shouldn't be any strange incidents in Yuchuan Township, and it has continued to this day in a safe and sound manner. right?

Yeah. Lai Hucheng nodded lightly.

But this is a little strange.

Beichuan Temple frowned slightly.

He conducted a detailed investigation and found that the four-person hide-and-seek game is a spooky game that has become popular on the Internet the year before last. In other words, the victim who was cursed at the beginning should be from the year before to this year.

However, at this point in time from the year before last to last year, there was no such bizarre death incident that could cause a sensation in Japan. Instead, the victims of the four-person hide-and-seek game between last year and this year began to show their signs.

If we should choose a reasonable explanation for this...that is, the seal of those eminent monks on Yuchuan Elementary School has weakened with the passage of time.

That's right. In the final analysis, the seal is only imposed by manpower, and it will be accompanied by the passage of time and the decay of time, and it is only natural that the seal's effectiveness will weaken.

And precisely because of the weakening of the seal from last year, the children's resentful spirits can gradually affect reality from the spiritual realm of Yuchuan Elementary School.

The recent direct killing is also enough proof that the conditions that bound them are slowly but irreversibly disappearing.

If that's the case—

Beichuan Temple felt that he needed to save the resentful spirits of the first four victims before the seal disappeared completely, and help them escape the endless cycle of killing and nourishing resentment.

But what makes Beichuan Temple feel troublesome is that these children's resentful spirits seem to have a vague connection with the spiritual realm. If they want to completely eliminate them, they must pay some price.

Beichuan Temple was immersed in thinking for a moment, and Raihu Castle on the other side suddenly spoke:

We are already in Kanagawa Prefecture, and now we are going to take a small road to the Danzawa mountain area. It may take some time.

I understand. Beichuan Temple nodded.

After leaving the main road, Laihucheng turned to the small road.

The scenery between cities has faded, replaced by rural scenery such as ridges and canals and old bus stops.

Standing by the old wooden platform were a few girls playing and playing. They seemed to be female high school students returning home during the spring break.

The car continued to drive forward unhurriedly. After crossing this suburb, Beichuan Temple found the river Dachuan that had been hidden not far from the road.

It is slowly flowing outward along the artificial river. This big river is the famous Yuchuan in the local area. Many years ago, when water conservancy projects were not yet developed, this Yuchuan destroyed many people's homes and left many people to starve to death in the wild.

But now it's different.

Looking forward from Beichuan Temple, small and exquisite dams connected to each other intercept and divide the river, reducing part of the drainage and going upwards step by step.

And the most distant place, there is a conspicuous small town, which is the destination of this trip——

Yuchuan Township.

Laihucheng drove to a remote mountain mansion and stopped. He smiled and looked back at Beichuan Temple and said:

Mr. Beichuan, this is my home, but it's too late now, why don't we rest after eating? The investigation will wait until tomorrow.

I'm not hungry, Mr. Laihu. Beichuan Temple shook his head and said at the same time: I'm going to ask the residents first to see if I can get some information. I will also go to the library in the town. Looking at the records about ten years ago, I always feel that the disappearance of those four children is too much attention.

Really? I personally don't recommend you to ask the local residents. Laihucheng dragged the heavy ice cubes in his car and continued: The people of Yuchuan are warm and hospitable. They welcome foreign tourists to visit. But what happened at the beginning is the scar in their hearts all the time, if you ask them like this, it may anger them.

I understand. Beichuan Temple replied blankly.

Raihucheng nodded, smiled and dragged the ice into the house.

After watching him completely hide in the door, Beichuan Temple put his backpack on his back and walked down the ramp.

The heart of defense is indispensable, Nishi Kujo and Kagura Ling are both in the backpack, Beichuan Temple can't let the other party touch these things.

Moreover, there is another point that Beichuan Temple is very concerned about.

Beichuan Temple thoughtfully descended the mountain and entered the streets of the town.

The town is peaceful and peaceful, throwing away the hustle and bustle of Tokyo's big city, leaving only a comfortable and quiet atmosphere.

Now it was dusk, Beichuan Temple took out the phone, and walked forward slowly according to the map above——

 …

Akiyama Ayane is a high school girl who has just returned from high school in Kanagawa Prefecture.

To be honest, she doesn't like Yuchuan town where everything looks backward and retro. This quiet and leisurely town is nothing in her eyes.

There are no freshly made coffee shops in Kanagawa Prefecture, and there are no beautiful clothing stores. Even if you buy a dessert, you have to be nagged by your family——

Because her home is a traditional Japanese dessert shop, also known as a 'Wagashi' shop.

Why did you call me from the county when there is no business at home? Why am I so unlucky? Qiushan Caiyin sat bored in front of the store, her face full of regrets about this spring break.

Originally, she was supposed to be sitting in a coffee house in Kanagawa Prefecture or enjoying her spring break by chatting up handsome guys on the street, but why did she return to this dilapidated wagashi house again.

It's also fortunate that her mother and father went to deliver snacks to an elderly man with limited mobility, otherwise seeing her sloppy look, she would definitely be criticized again.

I really want to go to Tokyo! I really want to see what a real big city looks like!

Ayane Akiyama sighed again, ignoring the slang saying that happiness will slip away from the sigh.

And just when she had resigned herself to accept the facts, a cold voice suddenly came from outside the door.

Is there any business here?

Akiyama Caiyin was taken aback, and hurriedly stood up and said, Of course! What do you want, customer?

As soon as she stood up, she saw a young man walking towards her.

So handsome!

Akiyama Ayane swallowed her saliva.

The young man was slender, with delicate features, and a sense of hardness appeared in his soft facial features.

There is no big problem with this kind of image being an idol.

And seeing the other party dressed like a tourist...

'From the big city? '

Just when she fell into some gaps in thinking, the young man seemed impatient to wait, he reached out and knocked on the counter: Excuse me, I want to buy some snacks.

Ah...ah... Akiyama Caiyin blushed, she hurriedly came out from behind the counter after saying ahhh and led the young man to the glass counter.

She continued: Please choose as you like, all the wagashi in our store are freshly made, and they will definitely suit your taste.

Um.

The other party responded indifferently, and his black eyes scanned the snacks in the glass counter, as if he didn't care about her at all.

Akiyama Ayane's complexion was red, and she rubbed her apron with her fingers embarrassingly.

Three servings of strawberry Daifuku, three servings of mango Daifuku, three servings of yokan, and four hundred grams of Kopeito.

Okay, okay! Chenghui is 4,100 yen.

Akiyama Ayane showed her hand speed as the daughter of the wagashi shop. She quickly packed the snacks that Beichuan Temple needed into a small wooden box and handed it to him.

...Wood carving culture? Beichuan Temple couldn't help asking, looking at the exquisite carvings on the wooden box in his hand.

Akiyama Caiyin nodded vigorously. She wanted to talk to Beichuan Temple, so she said, The unique wood carving technique of Yuchuan Township, all the wooden boxes in this shop are produced by itself.

Beichuan Temple noticed the other party's thoughts, so he also stopped: Really?

It just so happened that he also wanted to inquire about something, and the girl in front of him was a good candidate.

Just now he walked all the way to inquire about the case of missing children more than ten years ago, but he was waved away by the shopkeeper who suddenly changed his face.

In the small town of Yuchuan, it seems that no shopkeeper is willing to mention the past, as if he really intends to forget what happened in Yuchuan Elementary School.

That...Excuse me, may I ask...Are you from Tokyo? Ayane Akiyama asked a little embarrassed after introducing the local woodcarving culture.

Yeah. Beichuan Temple nodded: I saw the promotion of Yuchuan Town on the Internet, so I came here for sightseeing, but I guess I won't stay for long.

Akiyama Ayane couldn't help curling her lips when she heard this.

Come to Yuchuan town for sightseeing?

But what else can there be here besides rotten wood and landscapes that you get tired of looking at in two or three days?

Sure enough, she still couldn't understand the thinking of people in big cities.

A country girl like her wished to sharpen her head and squeeze into Tokyo, but a Tokyoite like Beichuan Temple deliberately came to the small town of Yuchuan for sightseeing, which was extremely ironic.

Can I ask you some questions? Akiyama Ayane suppressed the distracting thoughts in her heart, and said after coughing twice.

Beichuan Temple shrugged indifferently: It doesn't matter, anyway, I'm not in a hurry right now.

The little girl's tone was full of longing for Tokyo, and Beichuan Temple didn't want to hit her.

If she didn't have a good connection, even if she got a job in Tokyo, she would just live there eating cheap bento every day.

This is actually not much different from the people from the Celestial Dynasty who sharpened their heads and crowded into the capital of the devil.

The monthly rent of 5,000, including water, electricity, transportation, food and clothing, and if there is a girlfriend, there will be an additional expense.

After a month, I can't save much money at all.

Go to work, leave work, go home. The life that can be seen at three points and one line is nothing more than that.

But Ayane Akiyama hasn't thought about that yet, and most of what she asked about was just the fun methods of young people in Tokyo, and Beichuan Temple, who has lived in Tokyo for more than two months, still understands these things very well.

Have you never eaten pork or seen a pig run?

Beichuan Temple told the little girl what she saw and heard, which made the little girl yearn for Tokyo even more.

Tokyo...it's so good...I really want to go and see it once.

If you have the opportunity to come to Tokyo in the future, I can entertain you as a landlord. Seeing that it was almost the same, Beichuan Temple opened his mouth to draw a step closer.

Really? Kitagawa-kun, you are such a good person! Akiyama Caiyin's eyes lit up.

... Beichuan Temple subconsciously compared Akiyama Caiyin and Kamiya Mirai, and found that the two were not on the same level at all.

Compared with Kamiya Mirai's eccentric spirit, Akiyama Ayane is too easy to deceive. I feel that as long as she is a Tokyo native, she can be deceived with a little experience.

After the two exchanged LINE and mailboxes, Beichuan Temple said directly: Actually, I still have some questions I want to ask Ms. Qiushan.

As long as I know something, I can tell Beichuan-kun anything. She nodded cheerfully.

To get the email contact information of an active male high school student in Tokyo, and he is also a handsome guy, now he can show off to Kanami and the others.

I am personally curious about this matter. I heard that there was a case of missing children in Yuchuan Township more than ten years ago. I wonder if that is true?

Beichuan Temple emphasized his tone, and raised his eyes to look at Akiyama Caiyin.

More than ten years ago... when I was a child...? Akiyama Caiyin's eyes widened: This is what Beichuan-kun wants to know?

Seeing her unwillingness to talk about it, Beichuan Temple nodded.

...Well, Beichuan-kun can be regarded as a friend I just made. It's okay to tell you... But you don't mention it to others. I told you. Qiushan Caiyin looked around and found that there was no When the person was there, a vaccination was given.

I see.

The spirit of Beichuan Temple vibrated slightly.

finally come.

Thanks for the reward of Xiuzhen Bingyan! Thank you so much!
