Predatory map of ominous birds

That is, when Kishisuke stopped the car to promote his enthusiasm, in another rural area in Japan—Reiko Ito was on vacation with several female colleagues in the company, and they saw a certain place in a magazine. The harvest festival, which has been held only a few times since ancient times, is held, and ghosts and gods are summoned to bless the fields.Some of these women are particularly keen on this kind of supernatural event, so they encourage everyone to go there to see and see.So these women took the Shinkansen to that rural area together.

It is also very unfortunate to say that the Japanese bubble economy has gone bankrupt, and many small cities or small towns are having a hard time. Young people have gone to big cities to find opportunities, while those small shopkeepers, small hotel owners and the old and weak who stayed in their hometowns The days are really tight.For this reason, the township office was very troubled. Fortunately, there are many kinds of weird rituals in Japan, and all kinds of far-fetched ghosts and gods are also very developed. As a result, the tourism promotion association of the township office insisted on local legends and historical records They found an idea that seems to be able to attract tourists. For this reason, they went to the University of Tokyo to seek the help of a professor of Japanese folklore for research, and finally planned to hold a ghost summoning ceremony restored according to local legends in late summer.Tourism advertisements were placed on some magazines and newspapers in big cities such as Tokyo with the help of the township government and the local business association.

The effect was good. Three days before the ceremony, there were already scattered tourists. On the day before the ceremony, the local hotels were full and the Chamber of Commerce was full of smiles from ear to ear.But the one who poured cold water also came. The only old man in the local area who had participated in the ceremony 60 years ago expressed the strongest objection—although the old man was already demented, he also expressed his own opposition to holding it when he was sober occasionally. The opinion of the ceremony, even in the state of dementia, is still muttering, "No, it can't be done" words-60 years ago, he was one of the few survivors

The second opponent also appeared, the professor of folklore who helped them conduct textual research, after further interpretation of documents and records.Especially after the last ceremonial recording 60 years ago, there were not strong objections. "There is indeed evidence that some 'guests' were summoned during that ceremony, and dozens of people disappeared or died at the time. Therefore, for safety's sake, it is better to stop the ceremony."

"Professor, please look at the people outside. Look at the people in the commercial street. For the first time in many years, we have seen their smiles from the heart. Besides, this is just a legend, isn't it? Please forgive us Mr. Professor." [

And just one day before the ceremony, Ito Reiko and her colleagues came here.Huge torii gates have already been erected one by one, and the openings are facing the road where people come and go. "Did those 'guests' come from here?" Holding a ceremony booklet issued locally, a woman asked, " That's right, from what is written in this book, there will be a group of people holding a ceremony, and then holding torches and parading from inside the torii gate, representing the 'guests' from 'there'." Ito Reiko looked replied with a pamphlet.

At night, the torii is brightly lit, a huge fire is lit, and the stage for the ceremony has been set up.The local priests were all dressed up and took the stage with ritual instruments.The tourists below were very happy to watch, and the locals who were preparing for the parade were also very happy.The parade finally started, with two rows of people holding torches leading the way in front, followed by two huge ghosts built with straw and wooden frames, hung with ghost masks, and moved inside by human power.The professor was also watching the ceremony in the crowd, but he was different from others, his brows were always furrowed, and he always showed a worried look.

The game went on very happily. Although the guides in front tried to put on a serious look, the tourists had a good time watching it - but Ito Reiko and some other tourists were a little dissatisfied, "Isn't this just an ordinary summer?" Sun Festival! We were fooled."

Just after the "ghost" on the tail of the procession exited the torii gate, a chilly breeze suddenly blew from the road towards the torii gate, blowing the procession from behind, but under the warm atmosphere Well, no one sensed that something was wrong—except for the torch-bearer behind the last "ghost"—the lad always thought he heard heavy footsteps, but when he looked back he saw nothing.What he didn't notice was that there were faint but huge horseshoe marks on the ground from far to near. The professor was another person who felt something was wrong. His attention was different from that of ordinary tourists. The huge torii gate facing the road had a very inappropriate feeling, so his attention was always on the vicinity of the torii gate—so he saw that the lanterns placed along the sides of the torii dirt road seemed to be hit by something, In other words, it looked like it was blown down or extinguished by the wind brought by something while walking, and the heartbeat started to speed up immediately

Reiko Ito's attention was also diverted - she was stimulated by the burning of her chest. When she reached out to take out the hot little thing from under the majestic career line, she was surprised to find that the "cross saint" given to her by the Hakufu The "sword" was emitting a faint red light.she is overwhelmed

There was a smile on the corner of Bo Fu's mouth in the van, "It's a coincidence that they go hand in hand, Reiko, after the matter is over, it would be better to give me some rewards."

At this time, the other people in the van had their own thoughts—the attention of Bingzi was on her husband, the little guy was studying the map, and the 16-year-old daughter But she was secretly paying attention to Bo Fu - she had heard her father mention their new neighbor on weekdays, but this was the first time she saw this Mr. Bo Fu who was said to have gotten along well with her father. The tall body is a bit amazing-a body over 1.9 meters ten can indeed stand out from the crowd in Japan, but this man has an ordinary face. Although he looks strong, he is not the kind of feminine and beautiful boy that little girls like.

At this moment, all the people in the car—except Bo Fu—were startled by a gunshot.

"Sorry, uncle, our car broke down. Can you give us a lift?" The woman with pink hair smiled after the man in the leather airplane head took out a pistol and aimed at the tree. He asked Masaku Kishisuke a word—and at this moment, the wires on the car came, "A man and a woman robbed a ** bank with guns and fled. Citizens, please pay attention."
