This Japanese Story Is Not Too Cold

It didn't take long for Beichuan Temple to find a way hidden in the weeds.

This road looks like it has not been stepped on for a long time, and there is a sense of barrenness among the various weeds and thorns interlaced with yellow and green.

This should be a small road leading to the outside world from Shenzhu Village at that time.

As for whether there are other roads, Beichuan Temple is not clear.

In the morning, some hot air floated up, and the cold air turned into water droplets when it was heated, making the path leading to the outside world from the former Shenzhu village extremely muddy. The hiking boots that Beichuan Temple specially put on were covered with yellow mud when stepped on. Also wasted some effort.

Beichuan Temple raised his feet, while recording the route, while holding the wooden stick, he continued to grope forward.

With such slow progress, it took Beichuan Temple nearly three hours to reach the outer area of ​​Shenzhu Village.

Beichuan Temple stopped and looked around.

He is now standing on the road in the middle of the field ridge. Over the past nine years, the road has been sporadically covered with grass.

The fields on both sides are barren because no one has taken care of them for too long. The river in Shenzhuchuan is still flowing quietly, flowing downstream from the right hand side of Beichuan Temple. From his perspective You can still see the waterwheel, which has fallen into pieces and has lost many leaves, and is still spinning decayingly.

Beichuan Temple thought to himself that as long as he touches it lightly, the water windmill that has been almost decayed will fall down.

He threw down the stick, and walked towards the village along the main road.

Two small canals were deliberately dug in the village, and the water from Shenzhuchuan poured into the ridges of the fields. Looking at it this way, it still has a Japanese rural style.

It's just that some waterways in the middle have not been cleaned for a long time and have been blocked by silt.

Beichuan Temple walked all the way to the village.

Gradually, the field of vision narrows, and all kinds of quaint and wooden buildings come into view.

"Remember that the mudslide accident in Shenzhu Village should have been in 2009? Why didn't you choose more convenient building materials such as concrete and steel instead of using wood as a structural material?"

Most of the Shenzhu villages are composed of red and white walls, tiled roofs, and wooden structures.

He would understand that Beichuan Temple was in a village during the Taisho period, but the Shenzhu village remained until it was hit by mudslides in 2009 and eventually became a "ghost village".

"But why...?" Beichuan Temple went to a household.

The entrance was covered with grass, and Beichuan Temple walked inside, and even saw the furniture and beds placed in the room.

Nothing in the room has been touched by anyone, except for the falling dust and the cobwebs, everything remains the same.

The government didn't let people come to clean up the village where God lives...

Most importantly, what about mudslides?

When Beichuan Temple climbed up and looked into the distance just now, there was no trace of the alluvial mudslide. The villagers of the whole village seemed to have evaporated out of thin air.

Mysteries came one after another, and there were signs that the world seemed to have really forgotten this village.

Beichuan Temple covered his nose and went out.

There is a strange smell in the room, it should be the smell of mold and decayed wood, too much inhalation is not good for the body.

and...

This should be an ordinary resident's house, it doesn't look like Kamizu or Asamiya's family at all.

The purpose of Beichuan Temple here is to explore the past secrets between the Asamiya family and the Shenzhu family.

"Since they are the most prestigious two in this village...then it should be there."

Beichuan Temple went out and looked up.

In the middle of the street is a three-story Japanese-style building rising from the ground.

Surrounded by mostly one- and two-story Japanese-style houses, the building stands quietly.

Below the three-story Japanese-style building, there is half of the wall that has collapsed. From here, you can even see the dilapidated scene in the courtyard.

"Could it be that Shenzhu's family and Asamiya's family share the same mansion?" Beichuan Temple muttered to himself.

He was about to take a step, but suddenly his expression changed, and he turned to look around.

people...

Countless gray-faced villagers stood on both sides of him at some point.

Everyone had a silent expression on their faces, and only the whites of their eyes were left looking at the god stationed in front of them.

And Beichuan Temple is just located between this group of people.

The moment these 'people' came out, Beichuan Temple first felt his body go stiff, and then the lifeless air flowed, and he broke free from the shackles.

"Is this...afterimage?" Beichuan Temple's eyes widened.

Afterimages counted by hundreds of people! ! !

Such a huge scale, such a strong longing, even he was affected in an instant!

No wonder Hirasaka Hidesuke and Watanabe Chitose could not help following these afterimages.

Beichuan Temple immediately took two steps back.

He slowly raised the phone——

There was a click.

He decisively took the photo.

The afterimage of the spirit body is clearly visible in the photo, and the terrifying condensed thoughts can even be imaged by a mobile phone.

The 'villagers' didn't show any expression to Beichuan Temple's behavior of taking pictures, they just walked forward silently.

Of course, the afterimage is just a phenomenon caused by the condensation of people's thoughts at that time.

Under Beichuan Temple's following gaze, each afterimage disappeared like spring snow at the moment when it was about to step into Shenzhu's house.

The next moment, the system's cold notification sounded:

The curse-binding quest 'Flower of Soul' begins.

'System prompt: You find that the information you have investigated through painstaking investigation is just the tip of the iceberg of the unpleasant history of Shenzhu Village. Workers who were regarded as 'human pillars', brutal and bloody rituals hidden in the dark, unknown past, kept Looking at the original village, all of this makes you shudder. '

'But you are already deeply involved now, the curse has penetrated into your bone marrow unknowingly as long as you continued to investigate, and only by uncovering everything that was hidden in the past can you escape. '

‘Task completion condition: Investigate the truth about God’s residence in the village. '

'Reward for completing the mission: soul-attracting flower. '

"Binding mission?" It was the first time Beichuan Temple heard such a term, and he subconsciously scanned the description above.

There are so many tasks involved in just one god stationed village.

One task is the 'curse' task on Hitomi Asamiya, and the other task is the current 'Flower of Soul'.

Beichuan Temple put away his mobile phone, took off all his winter and hiking boots, and changed into sports shoes and easy-to-move clothes.

He walked slowly towards the towering three-story vermilion-white wall and wind-style building, and gradually felt an indescribable cold feeling on his body.

Intuition tells Beichuan Temple that even if this building does not belong to the Asamiya family or the residence of God, it definitely hides some old secrets.

Let him take a closer look today.
