my life in japan

Chapter 222 Stone Tree Village

"What kind of place is that! It doesn't even have a place name."

"That's it, I may not be able to go back this week, please ask me for a leave."

"Mizukawa-kun! What are you doing there?!"

"No signal again..."

Mizukawa didn't reply, put away his phone and put it in his backpack.

Just now I sent a location to Kamijou Chunyuan, asking her to clear her absentee records, it seems that the girl is willing to help.

It took more than half of the night to ride in the middle of the night last night. After getting off the bus, I found a hotel to sleep until the morning.

After getting up, I had to take the bus, and then walked for half a day until now, at this time, it was already noon.

In the backcountry, with direct sunlight, even in this wild forest in the mountains, I still feel very hot.

This is the junction of Ishikawa County and Toyama County, somewhere in the wild forest.

It is not famous, nor is it a tourist attraction, but it is even more backward because it does not have much infrastructure.

The junction of poor counties is generally prone to this kind of embarrassment, and neither side cares, so it is getting more and more behind the times.

Of course, it was not without reason that Mizukawa came here.

Although this unknown place is hardly known to the outside world, there is a village in it, which is quite famous in certain fields on the Internet.

Shenyin Village, a place where outsiders disappear... Of course, the rumors on the Internet definitely don't have much credibility.

Because there have been tourists who have been to this village, and it has been confirmed that there is no disappearance.In addition, the name is also misrepresented, and the real name is Shishucun.

Even so, the rumors about Shishu Village have not stopped, because netizens have repeatedly confirmed that people around them went there and never came back.

Naturally, this is rumor in weirdo circles.

People on the Internet are divided into two factions, repeatedly arguing between those who have problems in Shishu Village and those who have no problems.

Originally, Mizukawa didn't pay attention to this, but when he was on winter vacation at the end of December last year, he received a private message from netizens about this weird thing.

Because I was too free at the time, I started looking for it on the Internet. Later I found that it was quite interesting, so I packed my luggage and came to this mountain nook to have a look.

Of course, idleness is one reason, but the main reason is... Mizukawa's swelling...

At that time, he had never encountered a top-level death-qi wraith, and he had successfully killed several high-level death-qi wraiths in a row, so he felt invincible.

Under the temptation of the system's rewards, Mizukawao planned to venture outside and find some more difficult wraiths to fight.

At that time, An and Hei were naturally kept at home. After all, they were just for viewing. After a long journey, the two small animals might not be able to adapt to the environment, let alone help.

So... Mizukawao, who came alone, felt the breath of the top-level dead spirit, and then ran away in despair.

At that time, he obviously didn't see the wraith, but there was still such a substantive oppression. Needless to say, he knew he couldn't deal with it.

And now, Mizukawa's target is this wraith.

Hojo Shin is training and strengthening himself, and Mizukawa Yuharu is also studying hard. As the core, Mizukawao is naturally embarrassed to continue to be lazy.

Moreover, the idea of ​​dealing with this resentful spirit had actually already been in his mind.

As for the reason, among other things, the mere issue of face will be wiped out.

'Dare to scare me away, now I will kill you! '

Of course, the face is only incidental, mainly because of system rewards or something.

Although this place is full of mountain roads, since it's not the first time, Mizukawao still vaguely remembers the route, and it's not too slow to travel.

"Why is there a strange feeling..."

Since I climbed over the mountain, the mobile phone signal has been intermittent, and now it is gone. It may be too far away from the base station.

But it always feels a bit strange... like dealing with a wraith...

But I didn't take it to heart, this time I was looking for the Wraith, it would be better if it appeared earlier.

After another hour, Shuichuanwei finally saw the mountain village.

Surrounded by mountains and forests, there is such a small town embedded in it.

There are farmlands, small rivers, and most of the houses are made of wood and grass. From a distance, this village does not look very big.

But Shuichuanwei, who walked through it once, knows that the town is quite big.

Not only big, but also very traditional... It can be said to be the state of culture centuries ago.

Of course, in fact, overall, it is not so exaggerated.

After all, they still send out a team every other month to go outside to exchange supplies.It has not completely severed relations with the outside world.

Sometimes tourists will come, and sometimes explorers will pass by. As long as these people are well entertained, the small village can be regarded as a source of income.

Moreover, the spread of this small village in the weird circle on the Internet is not small, and everyone in the circle may be Xiaocun's customers.

When Mizukawao came over last time, he was treated graciously...for a fee, of course.

Mizukawa walked on the path in the village, looking at the surrounding farmland and trees.

The outskirts of the village are where farming is done, and the inside is the main residence of the population.

As he walked, Mizukawa gradually felt that the eyes of the farmers on both sides were a bit strange...

He came over frequently and didn't come up to say hello. Have you ever seen outsiders?

It didn't take long for Shuichuanwei to enter the main residence of the village, which can be regarded as the core of the situation.

The ground is covered with stones, which are quite comfortable to step on. I don't know if the stone characters in Shishu Village came from this way.

After entering the village and town, Mizukawao felt that the sense of weirdness was even stronger.

There are many children playing and old people watching children around, but it seems... the number of old people and children are equal... It seems that every old man has a child...

The main thing that feels strange is the eyes of the old man... the same eyes as the farmers outside...

Mizukawa felt very strange, remembering the last time they came, they should have been very enthusiastic...at least not the look in their eyes now...

Could it be that half a year has passed, and everyone in the village has been replaced?Or did something big happen?

He felt that the possibility of the latter would be higher. Some outsiders would hurt the people in the village, making them start to reject outsiders.

'What an injustice...'

"The naughty kid is gone~ The weird brother is gone~"

"Shantai! Come back quickly!"

A child ran while singing, and approached the direction of Shuichuanwei, but was immediately called back by the grandfather behind him.

Mizukawa suddenly felt a little uncomfortable. This kind of xenophobic attitude made him suspect that he came to another village when he came half a year ago.

However, the main reason is that the attitude of the elderly is relatively xenophobic.Most of the children stared at Mizukawao with their noses running, and looked at the big brother curiously.

Even if there are children who want to sneak up, they will be taken away by the old man behind them.

"Hello, I'm sorry to make you feel uncomfortable. I am the mayor of this village."

While Mizukawa was thinking, a middle-aged man's voice came from behind him.

Turning around, I found that it was a strong middle-aged man.

"Ah, it's okay, what's wrong?"

Mizukawao didn't say anything specific, but he believed that the village head knew what he was asking.

"...It's like this. Some time ago, a child was lost in the village, and there was an outsider who came to board at that time...and left without saying goodbye. So we suspect..."

"...Is that so...then I would like to ask for your condolences..."
