Rain Girl's Revenge

"Japanese macaque?" Carter glanced at the supported specimen.

"Well, the scientific name is Macacafuscata. It is a medium-sized and stocky monkey with two subspecies. The body length is 47-60 cm; the tail length is 7-12 cm; the weight is 8 kg-11 kg. The tail is relatively short, less than the head and body length A quarter of the body. Thin face, no radiating swirls on the top of the head, brown in color, slightly protruding forehead, high brow bone, deep eye sockets, short shoulder hair. Red cheeks, expressive eyes. Fur on the back of the body , from gray to brown, and sometimes there are some spots." Grammer was busy measuring the data of this specimen, and replied as if endorsing.

"What does this have to do with the problem we want to investigate." Carter crossed his arms, a little disgusted.

"Look at the introduction over there." Grammer pointed to the notice board next to him.

"—Smart and flexible, was once worshiped by the villagers as a mountain god?" Carter raised his eyebrows.

"I suspect it may have something to do with what we did last night."

"reason?"

"So far there is no exact data, which is why I am collecting sample data now."

While the two were chatting, the phone rang suddenly and hurriedly.

"Is it Mr. Grammer and Mr. Carter?" Mieko's pleasant voice sounded from the other end of the phone.

"Yes."

"Please hurry to the square, the Rain Girl Festival will officially start in 15 minutes."

Carter looked up, and it turned out that the sun was about to set.

The square in the town is crowded with people at the moment, full of villagers and tourists watching the excitement.Carter and Grammer noticed that most of the local residents wore masks, almost all of which were crimson, bearded old man's mask, and a few women wore a woman's mask, the eyes on the mask were surprisingly big, and they were completely The blackness is like a bottomless abyss, which makes people feel a little hairy.

"Miss Fujiwara?"

"Ok?"

"Is there anything special about those masks?"

"Ah, the crimson mask represents Onmyoji, the white mask represents Yu Nu, the blue mask and black mask represent the companions on the boat, and the silver mask represents Yu Nu's husband - look, it is now on stage A few people above."

Grammer looked around, and saw a few villagers gathered on the high stage, and each villager had different types of masks hanging on their faces, as Miss Mieko said.At this moment, five people are gathering together, as if discussing something.

With the sound of "咚——" and the sound of the sacrificial drum, the noisy crowd suddenly fell silent, and everyone's eyes turned to the stage.

A woman in a simple kimono walked slowly to the center of the stage. She didn't wear any decorations on her head, but a hair bun was loosely tied with a hair tie. She wore a pale mask on her face. Under the light, those eyes became brighter and brighter.

Carter and Grammer silently watched the dispute between the woman and her husband wearing a silver mask, but they always felt that the woman's actions were a little weird, as if something was tied to her leg.Turning around and seeing Ms. Mieko's face as usual, she turned to continue watching the performance with a hint of doubt and vigilance.

At an angle they couldn't see, a weird and distorted smile flashed across Mieko's face. She reached out her hand and made a gesture towards the dark place. Several shadows in the crowd moved slightly and disappeared soon.

The woman on the stage continued to perform, and at this moment, the scene where her husband insisted on sailing despite her obstruction was being performed.The devastated woman knelt on the ground and sang a mournful waka:

"O deep sea--

Take away my dearest husband.

My peace of mind--

Hidden in the deep forest—

Thick clouds of smoke obscured my vision,

the birds don't come,

The mountain god uttered the most mournful cry,

Declare that all these crimes will be covered up in the depths of the sea.

All thoughts will stop in this deep valley—"

"It's strange," Grammer fell into deep thought again, "According to the painting we saw in the museum, Rain Girl should have completed her revenge on the sea, why do I have to mention it repeatedly here?" How about to the 'Jungle Forest'?"

"Perhaps there is a certain deviation between historical facts and artistic creation." Carter really doesn't care much about this aspect.

"But don't forget, what we found in the museum—" Grammer tried to have an in-depth discussion with Carter on this issue, and suddenly found that there was a flash of cold light beside him, and he subconsciously shouted: "Be careful! "Hurry up and throw Carter to the ground.Turning around, a masked figure was standing behind them, holding a shiny dagger in his hand.

The crowd panicked in an instant, and everyone tried to stay away from Carter and Grammer. The cries of children and the screams of women formed a sad and gorgeous picture around Carter and Grammer.

The actors on the stage seemed to be petrified, standing motionless on the stage.

A few more shadows jumped out and surrounded Carter and Grammer.Everyone is covered with a mask, holding a dagger or a knife in his hand, and several people in the distance are holding bows and arrows.

"It's really an ancient and warm way of receiving people." Carter snorted coldly, looking a little disdainful.

"If you want to swallow us up, you have to see if you have the ability!" Grammer's eyes flashed a trace of ruthlessness.

The current situation is not optimistic for the two of them.Ms. Mieko didn't know where she went—this was perhaps the only good news for the two of them these days, and it meant that they would not be tied down in the next battle.At this moment, there are a total of 8 people wearing various masks around the two of them. They are constantly circling around Carter and Grammer, as if they are testing the strength of the two.

The muscles under Carter's sweatshirt tense, and Grammer's hand is in the pocket of his coat, looking for something.

A masked man seemed to be unable to hold back, and rushed out holding a Taidao. This seemed to be a signal for battle, and everyone rushed up with a "hula", and the archer standing a little far away hurriedly fired arrows , At that moment, the two of them were buried by the flashes of swords and swords.

"Crack", Carter blocked a blow from a masked man with his arm, and a "sweeping leg" below him knocked the masked man to the ground, snatched the knife in his hand, and turned around to block the other A knife cut from behind by a man.The arm was cut by the previous man's knife, revealing a thin bloody mouth, but Carter didn't even pay attention to it, and his footsteps made a slight mistake, avoiding the bow and arrow shot towards him, leaning over to pull out the arrow, ruthlessly It was firmly inserted into the back of the masked man rushing from the side.The masked man didn't seem to expect such a thing to happen, he fell to his knees in pain, and Carter kicked him out of the encirclement.Under the light of the sacrificial fire, a little wildness and tranquility danced in his eyes, making him look like a bloodthirsty lone wolf at that moment.

Compared with Carter, Grammer's battle seemed to be a little easier. He moved lightly, and within a few steps, he avoided all the attacks around him.He put one hand in his pocket, like a butterfly walking through the flowers, and with only his left hand and two legs, he easily removed the arms and legs of several people who came towards him.In just a few breaths, there was a pile of masked men screaming in pain all around him. The night wind blew past his clothes. Even in this situation, there was still an elegant smile on his mouth. It seems that all this is a good game in his opinion.

It is worth noting that his right hand has never left his pocket.

The time seemed very long, but in fact it was only an instant, and the aggressive killers had already fallen to the ground.Before the astonished people could react, it was over.

The police finally arrived after a long time and tied the masked people who had fallen on the ground together with ropes.Carter looked at the bloodstains on his arms, shook them nonchalantly, and walked towards Grammer, who was negotiating with the police officers.

"Is it all over?"

"Well, I have to make a record later."

The two of them were walking on the street at night in the small town. Maybe something like that happened just now. The street was empty at the moment, and the doors and windows of every house were tightly closed, and the curtains were tightly drawn, not revealing any light.With the breeze blowing, Carter unexpectedly felt very comfortable.

"Ithought you would hang out the 'NightWatchman'. (I thought you would take out the 'Night Watchman')." Carter leaned close to Grammer's ear and said softly.

"IthoughtIwill, butfortunately, Ididn'thaveto. (I thought so too, but fortunately, I don't have to use it.)" Grammer also responded in a low voice.As he spoke, he moved his fingers slightly. Due to the high nervousness and long-term maintenance of one movement, his fingers twitched slightly.

"Really (really?)" Carter couldn't believe it, "How could he (is he really that strong?)"

"His strengthen this far more beyond our expectation, (he is much stronger than we thought)" Grammer's palms were a little sweaty, "We must be careful, buddy. (Old man, we must be careful this time.)"

"Or next time, weare really going to be killed! (Otherwise next time, we will really die!)"
