Spell Return: The Wheel of Time

Chapter 39
We arrived at Yamaga Shrine safely along the way. This shrine belongs to a local family that has been passed down for two generations. It is not large in scale, and the gods it worships are only the nameless gods in local legends.

Nowadays, it is more of a tourist attraction. With its original ecological environment, it attracts many people who come here to experience nature. This shrine sometimes provides accommodation for guests coming from afar.

In this way, Shenyuan Yi and the seven men and women walked to the location of the shrine's torii gate. Under the flick of the moonlight, this ancient torii gate stood in the middle of the road. The vermilion paint on it had fallen off a lot, and there were Some dry and cracked lines must have been here year after year to remind everyone who is about to pass through it that the front is the realm of God, and one should be pious and reverent when entering the road to see the gods.

Many of the seven people believed this and worshiped devoutly in front of the torii gate. During some conversations on the road, Shenyuan Yi had a preliminary understanding of these three men and four women. They were all from the same company. Colleague, it seems, is a small company engaged in the Internet, and the man named Shujun is their boss.

This time, they originally planned to come to this famous tourist attraction because they were tired of team-building dinners in the bustling city. However, an accident happened on the way and they were delayed for a long time, so they had no choice but to get here at night.

Unexpectedly, they met Kangenichi and Fushiguro Megumi on the road. Fortunately, their fear was dispelled after seeing them clearly. Two handsome young men who looked very young at first sight were better than encountering some fierce and strong man at this time. They were relieved, even though the two of them were very weird.

They only thought that they were young people who came to explore or something. Haven't there been young people like this who came here to explore before and disappeared and made the news? In the end, they attracted some people because of this.

In their opinion, Kangenichi and Fushiguro Megumi were like this. After passing through the torii gate, after walking a few steps, everyone saw the lights not far away.

"It's so late, they won't refuse to entertain us, right?"

A woman among the seven people raised this concern. Generally, shrines or temples have stipulated visiting hours. Although some are allowed to visit at night, it is already 37:[-] pm. In the city, it may not be time for nightlife to begin. time, but it is already a bit late in this place where we have escaped from the steel jungle.

But they are almost at their destination, so they can't throw a basin of cold water on themselves. Her companions also tried to comfort them. This is an unexpected situation for them, and there is no place to stay around here. The shrine will definitely take them in. Their.

Fortunately, they did not encounter the worst situation. After seeing the bright light of the flashlight from a distance, people from Yamaga Shrine came to meet them.

It was an enthusiastic middle-aged man. According to him, he was the priest of Yamaga Shrine, named Akashi Nohiko. It was his son who saw a light on the mountain road from a distance and then alerted him. Then he came to see I checked to see if any tourists were visiting late at night, and it turned out to be true.

After enthusiastically bringing everyone to the shrine, his wife also prepared hot tea and some snacks to help everyone get rid of the cold winter night. Everyone who was already shivering happily took their seats and expressed their gratitude to Akashi Nohiko and his wife. grateful.

"You two, please take a seat."

Akashi Nohiko smiled and greeted Kangenichi and Fushiguro Megumi. These two young men, who were thinly dressed but not cold at all, made him pay more attention, especially the swords they carried. He was well-informed and could tell the difference. It seems that this is a genuine knife, but it is unknown whether it has a sharp edge or not.

If it weren't for the appearance of the two people and the other seven people who were obviously from two groups, he really wouldn't be willing to entertain them. Seeing the two teenagers saying thank you and sitting down to drink tea, the big dog was also very interested. It was docile and not noisy, and his wife also liked the look of this big dog, so he sat across from him and started chatting with a few people in a friendly manner.

In fact, he was just insinuating the origins of everyone and the reason for coming here late at night. After getting a satisfactory answer, Akashi Nohiko felt a lot more relieved. He was also a person who was enthusiastic about interacting with people, and he got along with everyone after a while. The conversation was very pleasant.

He also expressed his gratitude to everyone for coming. According to him, since a nearby forest seemed to become a suicide sanctuary, his popularity here has become less and less popular. After he once called the police for a missing explorer, , even fewer people came here once this matter hit the news.

"Those people say on the Internet that there are serial murderers or ghosts harming people. They speak irresponsibly. My place has suffered an unreasonable disaster. It was originally attracted tourists because of its quiet environment and far away from the city. As a result, now There are fewer and fewer people following the fearful overtones, which really makes me sad.”

Akashi Nohiko complained, but there are still some tourists who don't care about this kind of statement who come occasionally, like right now, isn't it?After everyone drank hot tea and thanked them again for the delicious snacks, Akashi Nohiko took them to the guest room.

He also said that it was getting late at night and he would take them to visit the shrine and the surrounding scenery tomorrow. There were many empty rooms. Kangenichi and Fushiguro Megumi came together, so they were naturally assigned together. The seven people over there were allowed to make their own arrangements. .

After entering the room, it was quite clean and tidy. It could be seen that it was cleaned frequently. The toiletries inside could also be replaced at one time. Fushiguro Megumi looked at Kangenichi who had no intention of sleeping and asked: " Do you have any plans next?"

Shenyuanyi said casually: "I'm going to take a look at the suicide holy place. Our group of people were not attacked by possible curses on the way just now. Bai Lang and I didn't find any traces of curses before, and your jade dog didn't find anything either, right? ?So I want to go to the place where the incident happened.”

Fushiguro Megumi nodded. He had previously sent out jade dogs on the road to investigate the surroundings, but no traces of the curse were found. Hearing Kamogenichi's plan, he asked aloud: "Then let me go together." But Shenyuan refused: "No, I'll go back quickly. According to the intelligence, I'm afraid that's not the place where the curse is. I just stopped by to take a look."

Then he took the boy cutter and the spider cut out of the room and disappeared into the night. Fushiguro Megumi looked at the white wolf lying on the ground, said "good night" to it, and prepared to say a few words to her sister. Fell asleep.

Like a ghost, he came to a dense forest on the east side of the shrine. Many warning slogans and signs urging people to cherish life were posted and hung outside, which made Shenyuan Yi know that he was looking for the right place.

There was no obstacle in his eyes in the dim forest. The god who was walking towards the forest did not forget to carefully sense whether there was any smell of curse. Second, most of these forest trees withered and fallen branches and leaves, they were shining in the weak moonlight. The limbs stretched out below and spread toward the sky, like skinny claws protruding from the ground.

After going more than half of the way, Shenyuan Yi stopped at a place, squatted down and looked at the surrounding traces. He initially judged that it should be a place where those who committed suicide ended up here. The police should have been here. This has been dealt with.

But it was not these that attracted Shenyuan Yi, but the extremely weak curse breath here, and there were also traces of other people's activities here very recently. Then Shenyuan Yi slightly raised his vigilance and moved forward.

"woooooo"

Suddenly, there was a vague sound of resentful sobs in the dark forest, which made people's hair stand on end. However, Shenyuanyi, who heard the sound, did not feel the slightest panic. Instead, he immediately activated his spell and rushed in that direction, pulling out the boy. As soon as Che Shenyuan's vision widened, he saw a scene that made him look incomprehensible.

There were no female ghosts or curse spirits. Shenyuan saw three men there in an open space. One of them was kneeling on the ground and seemed to be saying something intently. There were salt, bells and charms in front of him. But these are not the key. The most eye-catching thing is the stand set up on the ground in front of the man and the mobile phone on it.

One of the two people next to him was still carrying a camera to record the scene. Shenyuan Yi's amazing eyesight even saw the picture on the mobile phone. If I read it correctly, was he doing a live broadcast?
Soul Detection host Shenyuan sighed and put away the Doji Kiri. He originally thought he had caught the curse, but he didn't expect that he was just a Soul Detection host who took advantage of the popularity here, and he was also a team. They even faked it.

Because Shenyuanyi discovered the resentful cry not far away, which was a recorder buried in a fallen leaf. Things like spirit detection are actually strictly controlled on the Internet, but it is impossible to directly understand the legislation. These things are prohibited, because in the eyes of most people, the theory of ghosts and gods is illusory.

If you get a place where there is no silver 300 taels, it might have a negative effect. The official can only control this kind of things implicitly, but sometimes the more banned, the more popular it becomes. Matsuki Yu has achieved certain success in this field. an anchor.

Because of his superb acting skills and the exquisite conception of the script, even though his fans may know that most of those ghost detectives are scripts and performances, the horror they sometimes bring makes them addicted to it and brings a lot of traffic to Yuya Matsuki.

It happened that this place that had been on the news recently came into his sight. After some preparation, he came here with a poignant story about a female ghost and started the live broadcast. It just reached a small climax. His companion arranged crying sounds to match his performance, which directly brought the atmosphere in the live broadcast room to a new level.

"Is there a figure behind you?"

"Anchor, anchor! Look back, Kako has appeared!"

"Oh my God, is there really a ghost?"

"The anchor must be looking for people or props. Where did you guys come from?"

Matsuki Yuya glanced at the barrage on the screen and frowned. It's not yet time for "Yoshiko to appear". Could it be that something went wrong?Their wages must be deducted!He inadvertently raised his eyes to warn his assistants, but he saw the somewhat frightened expressions of the two assistants opposite him. The person in charge of arranging the props looked behind him with wide eyes, and opened his mouth but could not make any sound.

Matsuki Yuya could even see that his trembling legs were causing his body to sway a little. Maybe it was this that prevented him from running away, and the assistant who took the photography was not much better, and almost couldn't hold it in his hand. of the camera.

"When did their acting skills become so good?"

With a layer of cold sweat on his back, he tried hard to restrain himself from thinking in another direction, but his thoughts inevitably slipped into the abyss. He stiffened his neck and looked straight at the barrage on the screen. In the scene above, there seems to be a figure standing in the dim forest behind him who is kneeling.
