I was a swordsman in ancient Japan

Unused scrolls and papers, empty bamboo tubes, scabbards without knives, burnt torches, everything on the ground.

Looking at the ground scattered with a lot of sundries, A-Machi murmured:

"It seems that the people in this camp really walked in a hurry when they evacuated here."

"That's right," Ogata echoed, "I hope they can leave some useful things behind. Let's go, A-cho, let's go into the camp and have a look."

The two planned to search tent by tent, searching every inch of the camp.

The first goal of the two was an ordinary tent located at the outermost edge of the camp.

call!

After tearing back the curtain of the tent, Ogata and A-Machi immediately cast vigilant eyes into the tent.

This tent is very safe.

There are neither ogres nor prisoners hiding inside.

This tent might as well be said to be overly safe, not only without any enemies in it, but also without anything in it.

The tent was empty, so Ogata and A-Machi could only look away in disappointment and headed for the next tent.

Unlike when I was searching the village yesterday, I could find some useful things from time to time. Every tent in this camp was empty.

Even if there is something in it, it is basically some useless waste.

The two, carrying more and more disappointment, had already penetrated deep into the center of this camp without knowing it.

Once again, the curtain of the tent was lifted, and the empty scene inside the tent once again appeared in front of the eyes of the two of them.

"Did you make a mistake!"

As if he couldn't stand it anymore, A-Machi began to curse loudly.

"When the people of the shogunate evacuated, they must have evacuated too cleanly?! Couldn't they leave some valuable things behind?!"

Although Ogata did not yell like A-Machi, the resentment in his heart was not much less than that of A-Machi.

After all, it took the two of them such a long time to come here, but they didn't find any useful supplies or valuable information. Anyone would feel very uncomfortable.

Just when Ogata was about to put down the opened curtain and head towards a certain tent, he suddenly caught sight of a white thing lying in an inconspicuous corner of the tent from the corner of his eye.

Ogata took a closer look and found that it was a thin book with nothing written on the cover.

Chapter 204 Researcher's Diary

Hearing what Ogata said, A-Machi also noticed the book lying quietly in an inconspicuous corner of the tent.

Ogata and Machi stepped into the camp one after the other, and picked up the book.

The first impression this book brings to Ogata is thinness.

In terms of thickness, it is about as thick as an adult's little finger.

Ogata let go of the first page of the book, and there was only a short paragraph written on the first page, and this short paragraph instantly attracted the attention of Ogata and A-Machi, and made the two of them feel excited. There was a faint joy on his face.

On the first page of this book it says:

The first day on the island.

Stationed here with the troops. Not only does this place have a source of water, but there are no ogres nearby. It is indeed the best place to station.

After arriving here, the generals began to set up camp. These generals were worthy of being the elite of the army, and their movements were quite nimble. After a while, the camp was built.

Although we doctors are very relaxed tonight, we just need to sit on the sidelines and watch the generals set up camp, but after tonight, we doctors should also be busy.

After reading this passage, the happy-faced Machi immediately said to Ogata:

"Ayi! This seems to be a researcher's diary!"

"Finally, we have come across something of value..." After expressing such emotion, Ogata hastily turned to the next page to check what the doctor had recorded in this diary.

Ogata discovers that the diary written by the doctor is not really a diary.

First off - he doesn't record every day.It seems that only after the day's worthwhile events occurred did he record them in this book.

Secondly - the content he records every day is very short, basically just a short paragraph, or just a sentence.

On the next page of the first day of landing on the island, it directly jumps to the fourth day of landing on the island.

The fourth day on the island.

The generals caught the ogre with fishing nets.

The ogre only attacks living people within sight, so just cover his eyes with a thick black cloth and he'll turn into a dumb monster, no longer aggressive.

Although ogres cannot be killed, there are still many ways to deal with them when there are not many of them.

This time, the generals captured a total of 3 ogres, and Mr. Ikeda began to lead us to conduct research on ogres

Our first research is what the shogunate needs to know most - how to kill ogres

I feel like this research will take a lot of time.

Although Ogata and A-machi didn't know who Ikeda-sama was, from the description of Ikeda-sama between the lines, this Ikeda-sama should be a very powerful doctor who is in charge of all the researchers who landed on the island.

Ogata flipped through several pages.

After this page, the rest of the pages are basically complaints about how boring the research is and how the research process has made no progress. There is nothing worth mentioning.

It wasn't until turning to a certain page at the very back that Ogata's rapidly flipping fingers stopped for a long time again.

The 29th day of landing on the island.

An accident happened suddenly today.

One of the soldiers in charge of defending us suddenly vomited profusely.

We thought he was just eating the wrong thing.

But who knows, after vomiting violently, his eyes turned purple, and he turned into a living ogre directly.

Living people can also turn into ogres. We already knew about this when the islanders asked the shogunate for help, but after witnessing a big living person turn into an ogre with our own eyes, we still feel quite happy. Terrible.

The soldier who unfortunately turned into a cannibal was trapped by a fishing net and tied to a big tree, making him immobile.

The 30th day of landing on the island.

The accident that happened yesterday made everyone's morale and mood very low.

After all, no one wants to be the next poor thing to turn into a cannibal.

To be honest - the shogunate's behavior of forcing us to study how to kill ogres first is really stupid.

Our first research should be to find out why the islanders of this island became ogres.

As long as we find out the cause of the ogre, maybe we can follow the clues to find a way to kill the ogre.

The shogunate's behavior of forcing us to study the method of killing ogres first really makes me dislike it.

The 31th day of landing on the island.

Morale is so low that research is no longer possible.

Master Ikeda, who noticed this, sent a letter to the officials in the mainland, explaining the current situation, and hoped that the shogunate would allow us to withdraw from Butterfly Island and terminate this research.

The 49th day of landing on the island.

The shogunate's reply has arrived—they agreed to terminate the research and let us evacuate the island, which is really gratifying.

But we need to bring back the soldier who unfortunately turned into an ogre, and by the way, bring back the ogre we captured originally.

I've already heard from Ikeda-sama - the shogunate intends to launch a second study on ogres.However, this second field of research is no longer carried out on the island, but on the mainland.

The reason why we want to catch a few ogres when we retreat to the mainland is to prepare the experimental subjects for these two studies.

The doctor who was in charge of the second study was the famous doctor, Sogen Hani.

I hope Master Banjing can find out the source of the ogre and find a way to kill the ogre.

The 52th day of landing on the island.

Under the protection of the generals, we began to evacuate.

Everyone just wanted to get out of here quickly, and they didn't have the good mood to pack things slowly and meticulously, so the scene during the evacuation can be described with an idiom as flying around.

I didn't bother to take this diary I wrote casually.

The period of research work on this island is a bad memory that cannot be recalled.

If I take this diary home, every time I see this diary, I can't help but recall my days on this island.

So I plan to discard this diary here as garbage. If someone by chance picks up this diary of mine, you can dispose of it as you like.

This diary is completely over until this page.

Subsequent pages are all blank.

After writing the last word in this diary, the owner of this diary should have left the island directly with the army.

Ogata closed the diary in his hand.

Like Ah-Ming next to him, the look on his face was not that good-looking.

Although there are many boring contents in this diary, there is a very important piece of information that neither Ogata nor the two can ignore, that is——even people who landed on the island for less than a month may become ogre.

"Why on earth did you become a cannibal..." A-Ming couldn't help but muttered, "I can't figure it out... Zong Hai's mentor has lived on this island for at least several years , but died quietly after death, without becoming a cannibal."

"As for the group of people who landed on the island for research, less than a month after landing on the island, some people began to become cannibals..."

Chapter 205 The Reunion of the Executioner and Liuguang Hachiman

After A-Machi's voice fell, Ogata sighed and said:

"Why do I always feel that the more we search for information, the more mysteries we discover..."

"With so much effort, none of the mysteries have been reduced, but more and more..."

After all, Ogata began to play with the diary in his hand, thinking about whether to take this diary back, or just throw the diary that he had read back to its original lying position.

Pasha, pasha...

At this moment——Ogata and A-Machi both heard the sound of "pashapasha" footsteps not far outside the tent.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, the pupils of Ogata and Atachi shrank, and in the next moment, the two of them lowered their weight and reached for the hilts of their respective knives.

--one two three……

While pressing his right hand on the handle of the sword, Ogata casually stuffed the diary held by his left hand into his bosom, and silently counted the sound of footsteps outside.

——There are three people in total... One of them has weak footsteps... The footsteps of the other two are solid and powerful...

"Ayi..." Like Ogata, A Ding, who fixed his eyes firmly on the opening of the tent, asked Ogata in a soft voice, "What should we do now? Are we going to rush out?"

"Stay here and don't move, I'll go out and have a look..."

Before Ogata finished speaking, a young male voice suddenly sounded from outside the tent, interrupting Ogata's words:

"Is anyone here? If anyone is here, please come out! We are not bloodthirsty people, as long as you have no malice towards us, we will not have any malice towards you!"

As soon as the young male voice fell, a somewhat hoarse voice said anxiously:

"Lord Gamiya! It is unknown whether there are ogres hiding in this camp! You will attract them by shouting like this!"

"It would be fine if the ogre was attracted. Mucun and I haven't seen what an ogre looks like since we landed on the island."

Hearing these voices from outside the tent, Ogata showed surprise on his face.

Then, he slowly lowered his right hand from the handle of the knife.

Atachi, who noticed Ogata's behavior, cast a puzzled look at Ogata:

"Ayi? What's the matter? Do you know that guy outside?"

"Yeah. That's right." A faint wry smile appeared on Ogata's face, "The reason why I was captured on this island is, from a certain point of view, thanks to that guy outside... "

After finishing speaking, Ogata cleared his throat, and then shouted outside the tent:

"Gamiya! Long time no see!"

Afterwards, Ogata strode towards the outside of the tent, and lifted the curtain of the tent.

After lifting the curtain, Xu Bian saw three people standing not far from the tent he was in.

And the leader of these three people is Gamiya who has not seen for some time.

After Ogata said "Long time no see" and came out of the camp, Mamiya's face immediately showed surprise.
