my life in japan

Chapter 226

Mizukawao opened his eyes again, and there were no buildings around him. Instead, there were dense woods.

His hands and feet were bound, and he was put on a shelf and carried away.

Naturally, it wasn't that Mizukawa was stunned or knocked out, but that he was too lazy to talk to these people, pretended to be weak, and fell asleep directly.

Rather than listening to these people's babbling, it's better to sleep... Anyway, if you want to pretend to be captured, it's good to pretend at all.

And seeing that they all want to catch themselves, they know that they are not cannibals, and they should be useful for keeping themselves.

Now it seems that this is really the case...

It's this kind of feeling of lying on a shelf and being carried around.

Mizukawao looked around and found that there were many people around, at least hundreds of them, all in this dense forest.Either holding a torch or holding a flashlight, but they all walked in the same direction.

These villagers seem to be the most capable young adults, and they are generally regarded as the pillars of a family.

"This is going to be a group extinction, and there will be hundreds of widows in the village~"

"Are you awake?"

The village chief who stood by saw Mizukawa's eyes open, and thought it was "the effects of the medicine had passed".

"...Where is this?"

"Just past the entrance of the back mountain."

"where are we going?"

"The place behind the mountain is deeper..."

It seemed that the young man could not escape, and the village chief didn't mean to hide it.

"What are you going there for?"

Had he known that he was bound, he would have been able to pry their mouths, and Mizukawao would not have struggled.

'This trick is quite easy to use... I will come again in the future! '

"...a sacrifice."

"……what?"

"It doesn't matter if I tell you... You're going to die anyway, so just take it for granted."

Maybe it was out of shame, maybe out of atonement, or maybe he wanted to vent, but the village chief didn't mean to hide it.

"...Since I was a child, people in the village who went to the back mountain have been missing. At that time, everyone was only half-believing, thinking that something happened to those people, and this rumor was only exaggerated."

Mizukawao listened quietly, listening to the story while being carried away... It was another new experience.

"I was still young at the time, maybe I didn't believe in evil, maybe I was a hero, anyway, I entered the back mountain. After walking for a long time... I saw... a monster..."

As he said that, the middle-aged village chief still looked scared.

"At that time, I couldn't move at all, and I thought I was going to die... But my father suddenly ran out, pushed me away, and I was alone... After that, I ran away from there and ran back to the village, crying and calling for people to die. To my father... and said he saw a monster.

After that, the village at that time took this matter more seriously... and strictly prohibited the villagers from going to the back mountain, and even sent two people to guard the mountain pass. "

"How did the outsider get in?"

Mizukawa remembered that when he came here half a year ago, he also saw the two guarding villagers...but he didn't stop him from entering.

The middle-aged village head shifted his gaze, stared at the young man on the shelf with a cold gaze, and said calmly:
"As long as you outsiders feed the monsters... we'll be safe."

Then he turned around and continued:

"After more than 20 years of 'getting along' with monsters, we have also figured out some rules... For example, now that we are in groups, it dare not hurt us; for example, if we do not 'feed' it regularly, more people will die ...

One morning...a whole family in the village was found gone...the houses were all collapsed...how no one heard what should have been a big movement, it was terrible..."

Mizukawa looked at the middle-aged man, and understood what he was talking about.

Not attacking is probably Yang Qi's resistance; but not making a sound is nothing more than the wraith enveloping a family in the dead zone, and then allowing it to slaughter.

"So you all catch outsiders and send them in?"

"...No, if everyone who comes to this village dies, the police will be very suspicious, and there will be no outsiders... We use a rotation system... This season is the turn of the Ishimura family in the hotel."

It turned out that this was the case. No wonder the villagers were behaving so strangely when they first entered the village... they were all looking at the sacrifices and their children.

As for half a year ago, it might be that there were already sacrifices in front of him, so he started to think of ways to make money with peace of mind.

"The police don't care?"

"...The monster is very cunning and does not attack the police at all...perhaps he is worried about the state sending force..."

This was Mizukawao's expected answer.

He still remembers the incident of the abandoned building Wraith.The writer's wife died at that time, and the police went in to investigate, but found nothing.

Escape the sight of the country, and then develop secretly... This can be regarded as their usual method.

But on second thought, are these wraiths too sensitive?Does the country really have the power to deal with these supernatural beings?You can't drop a nuclear bomb, can you?
The middle-aged man seemed to have finished speaking and had no intention of speaking again.

But Mizukawa still had doubts.

"What does this have to do with being 17?"

He still remembered that the hotel couple asked him his age.

"Hehe... This is just a rumor that they circulated in private... It is said that only underage sacrifices are valid... It's just that they are greedy for life and afraid of death.

People in the village are told about this every time they reach adulthood. After thinking about it, the middle-aged village head added.

"Haven't you ever thought about moving out?" This is what Mizukawao is most puzzled up to now, can't he be provoked or hide?

"We tried...The monster was blocking the exit at that time...Fortunately, the adults walked in front and didn't let the children see...

The village can only leave once a month, which is also the monster's 'rule', and those who escaped secretly are silent.

Simply put, this village is just a breeding ground..."

Mizukawao was dangling on the shelf, without the slightest fluctuation in his heart.

Although the village looks pitiful, there is actually a way to save itself.

Rather... there are too many methods!Your village has electricity and water, but you dare to tell me that you can't send news? !

However, what this group of people chose was to give up struggling, to submit to it, to escape disaster, and to submit to the 'god'.

There was no right or wrong, and Mizukawao didn't have the slightest intention to express his opinion.

People in this country tend to be submissive, and they also hold a very reverent attitude towards the gods... let alone a very backward and conservative small village.

"Are you going to make the children just like you?"

Despite this, I still couldn't help but ask this question.

"This is a way to protect yourself...Children should also remember the 'rules' and not break them."

The middle-aged man said naturally.

However, this made Mizukawa want to curse a little bit.

"Is there any reason for you? Make yourself a shrinking turtle and drag the children to shrink together?"

"It's useless to talk too much."

Hearing the young man's resistance, the middle-aged man glanced at him lightly, responded, and then stopped talking.

Mizukawa didn't bother to answer, and was carried for a while.

It's right now that it's deep into the back mountain.

Sure enough, not long after, they arrived at an open space, which should have been specially cleared out.

After arriving here, everyone stopped in their tracks.Shuichuanwei was carried by two villagers and placed in the middle of the open space.

After putting them down, the villagers left in a hurry, and the fire gradually faded away...
