Rain Girl's Revenge

"On our small island, there are three secrets."

Carter and Grammer looked suspiciously, and saw that the middle-aged man was still smiling politely and did not speak a word. The two waited patiently for a while, seeing that the middle-aged man did not answer, Carter couldn't help it. Say:

"Hey uncle, it's not a good habit to keep half of what you say."

The tone is still joking, but it always makes people feel that there seems to be something more in the words.

"Hehe, you are really impatient brats." The uncle seemed to turn a blind eye to Carter's provocation, and continued on his own: "You guys, do you want to make a bet with me?"

"bet?"

"Yes, I bet if you can find the so-called 'Three Mysteries' in this museum." The middle-aged man smiled lightly.

"What will we get if we win?"

"Isn't it enough to get the answer to the riddle? You are really greedy little ones," the middle-aged man rubbed his chin, meditating, "Let me think about it - if you win, I will tell you all the truth. "

"Is there any difference between this and we found all the answers?" Carter couldn't help but choked. For some reason, he found this middle-aged man very unpleasant.

"It's not exactly the same. I mean the answers to all the mysteries—for example, who is the mastermind who lured you to this island? Also," the middle-aged man's eyes revealed a little love and playfulness, like A mischievous kid who succeeds in teasing cats, "Where is the man you've been looking for all this time?"

As soon as the words came out, the momentum of the two people in front of them changed drastically.Carter's original arrogant and lazy temperament was swept away, replaced by a fierce and sharp aura, like a sword drawn from its sheath.The green pupils suddenly became deep and mysterious, making people think of a lone wolf on a snowy night, looking down at the land under his feet with true darkness and aloofness.Grammer's face was calm, with his hands in his pockets, as if he heard a passer-by say an unimportant trifle, his eyes showed seven points of sternness and three points of indifference.

"Who are you?" Grammer asked word for word, the muscles in his arms tensing subconsciously.

"Is it important?" The middle-aged man retorted with a smile.

"Isn't it important?" Grammer raised his head suddenly, staring straight at the middle-aged man, his blue pupils filled with turbulent waves.

The air seemed to be silent for a while, and after a long exchange of eyes, the man was finally defeated and spread his hands helplessly: "Kato-sun, this is the name I am currently using. In the next few days, I will return the two Please give me some advice."

"A rat who hides his head and shows his tail." Carter snorted coldly, and looked down on Kato Takara's behavior even more.

Kato Zun chuckled and shook his head, "The name is just a code name, it doesn't have any meaning—now, the card of fate is in your hands, how about it, have you decided to play the card?"

"Before replying to you, we have to ask one question: Do you really know where he is?" Grammer pressed on.

"Of course, my promise never expires."

"Okay," Grammer and Carter looked at each other, seeing each other's determination in each other's eyes, "We promise you."

"Okay—then the contract is established!" Kato Takashi clapped his hands, seeming very happy with this development.

"Don't forget your price." Carter uttered a threat to him from his throat, turned around and quickly followed Grammer's pace.

Kato Zun leaned on the door and watched the two leave, and suddenly shouted:

"Just send you another piece of information!"

Seeing the two of them looking back, he smiled brightly:

"Send you a word, the answer is hidden by your side."

"Unexplainable person." Inside the museum, Carter gritted his teeth angrily.

Grammer said nothing, and a pair of bright blue eyes scanned the few scattered artifacts, seeming to assess their value.

Perhaps it is because the history of the island itself is not so long, and it was built by wanderers. The antiquities unearthed on the island are not rich. As far as the eye can see, most of them are hair ornaments, apricot leaves and other things. A few knives were placed on wooden stands, and because they had not seen the sun for a long time, they showed a sense of a hero's end.

Grammer took out a magnifying glass and was carefully identifying the ancient books handed down from the island.After reading a few lines, Grammer suddenly noticed something strange:

"Carter."

"Ok?"

"How long has the Rain Girl Festival on the island been held?"

"I don't know. Ask the local residents and they won't be able to tell. It may have been hundreds of years." Carter replied a little carelessly, and his attention was focused on a gun at the moment, which seemed to be one of the spoils unearthed by the villagers. one.

"That's weird," Grammer murmured.

"Huh? How to say?" Carter became interested.

"Hundreds of years—if that's the case, then there should be records in this county chronicle." Grammer pulled Carter over and pointed to the county chronicle. Although the text was a bit incomplete, the word "Zhengping" was still clearly visible. , "I guess the time when this manuscript was written should be at the end of the Shogunate. The reason why it is still timed by Shohei is because the descendants of the ronin do not know that drastic changes have taken place in the country, and they still retain the year name left by their ancestors. But you see, although this article is not complete, the words 'Rain Girl Sacrifice' are not mentioned in the whole article among the large and small events recorded in it."

"And this one, this one—" Seemingly eager to prove his point of view, Grammer showed Carter all the chapters he had recovered, "From what we can see so far, 1573-1868 In the records of the year, the word "Rain Girl Sacrifice" was never mentioned."

"That is to say—"

"The Rain Maiden Festival did not take place as long as we imagined, and it may even have happened in the past few decades." Grammer made a serious summary.

The air suddenly froze, and a huge question lay between the two: If this is the case, who is the one who fabricated this legend, and what is his purpose?

"I also want to show you something." Quickly discarding what he couldn't solve at the moment, Carter also quickly shared his discovery with Grammer: "Look at this."

Grammer lowered his head and saw nearly ten black pistols in the glass case, with some bullets beside them.

"Luger P30 and Walter P38." Carter said to Grammer with a touch of satisfaction and showing off: "The guns of the German Army during World War II, very classic styles."

"The German army—or the army supported by Germany once stationed here." Grammer thought thoughtfully, "Is this a secret point of the Axis powers?"

"This small island may have played a very important role in the German army during World War II." Carter pointed to a few of the guns, "The weapons are well maintained, even if they have been hidden for so long, it may be seen that they have been protected by their masters." Well maintained. Most likely in case of a rainy day.”

Rain Girl Festival, German Army, Secret Point, Forbidden Area——

A series of words flew through the minds of Carter and Grammer. They seemed to have some inspiration, but they couldn't catch it.

"Let's continue." Grammer wrote down these points, and then began to look for items that could help him.

When turning around, he accidentally knocked down a specimen placed in the corner, Grammer hurriedly held it up, and looked it over carefully, it turned out to be——

At the same time, in an inconspicuous boat on the sea, several people were hiding in the cabin and chatting while playing cards:

"Mr. Inoue, sir is very satisfied with your batch of goods. This is the deposit we agreed on before. Please accept it." A middle-aged man in short-sleeved trousers smiled at Ichiro Inoue flatteringly, and gestured behind him. With a wink, a young man handed a huge paper bag to the middle-aged man holding both hands.

Inoue Ichiro raised his eyes, looked at the package without leaving any traces in his eyes, and then returned to a simple and honest smile: "Where is it, sir, I have to worry a lot." After finishing speaking, he took the paper package, Throwing it into a pile of groceries behind him, the package quickly disappeared into the groceries, and soon disappeared.

The middle-aged man smiled with satisfaction, filled a glass of wine for Inoue Ichiro, and helped him light a cigarette, "Besides, sir, I have another sentence that I want to help bring—" He attached the rest of the words to Inoue. It was whispered in Ichiro's ear, and no one else could hear it clearly.

Inoue Ichiro's eyes became firmer from the original hesitation. After the middle-aged man finished speaking, he thought for a while, and a strange light suddenly burst out in his eyes:

"Please help me convey to my husband, just say I'll take the job."

"Those two brats, I promise, they won't walk out of this town alive!"
