Chapter 307 po~po~po~

Oguri Island Pier.

Kamiyagawa got off the ferry, and the bumpy sea journey lasted several hours, which made his complexion not very good.

Standing on the shore, I took several deep breaths with Ah Moo's breath, and the fresh and fishy coastal air was poured into my lungs, slowly recovering.

"I saw Oguri Island in front of me at sea, but it took me several hours to get there by boat. This is too tortured."

By boat, it seems to be close to the destination, but it actually takes a long time.

The ferry on Kamiyagawa in the afternoon actually arrived at Oguri Island, and it was already dusk.

It can be seen that the sun has become halfway to the distant sea and sky, and the distant sea is dimly reflected.

A few seabirds of unknown species, with the afterglow of the setting sun on their backs, and the gaps in their feathers are slightly bright, screaming and plunging into the forest on the island without a trace.

There is a fishing boat moored by the pier.

Looks like he just came back from the sea.

A few sailors in leather aprons are moving the catch from the boat to the shore in large red and blue plastic baskets.

Star bonito, Isaki, Kintoki, flying fish, stone sea bream, flat sea bream...

Sea fish of different sizes, colors, and types are tired in plastic baskets, and there are about five or six baskets.

There are quite a few fish that seem to have been dead for a long time and have a strong fishy smell.

Beside the fishing boat, a man who looked like the captain, in his forties or fifties, with a wrinkled face, was talking with others.

"Captain Yanshita, this trip out to sea, you just caught so few? Besides, it seems that more than half of them are not fresh."

"I can't help it. I caught such a small amount in two days at sea. I thought before that if I only brought this little catch back, it would be a total loss if I counted the manpower and material resources of the sea. So I simply took a gamble and sailed the boat to Farther away, but still the same, still did not meet a decent school of fish. And I went far, delayed the time to come back, and most of the little fish I caught died. "

"Oh... this year's harvest is really not what it looks like."

"Yeah, if it goes on like this, I really don't know what to do."

"..."

Several men on the side of the fishing boat lit cigarettes and continued to discuss this year's worrying catch with sad faces.

The sky on the coast had darkened to a cloudy blue-grey.

The sparks of cigarette smoke at a few o'clock are flickering by the cold and wet sea breeze.

...

Kamiyagawa was walking on Oguri Island, seeing that the sky was getting dark, he thought about finding a place to live first.

Then officially start to investigate the relevant information of Mr. Red Stingray.

Thirty years ago it was a fishing village, but now it is considered a small town on an island, although the size of the town is not too big.

Shen Gu opened the phone map and looked at it. It seemed that there was only one small hotel in Dali Town.

He intends to stay there.

Holding the mobile phone, he walked along the not too spacious road in the town for a while, and when he passed a street light, Shen Gu stopped in his tracks.

He suddenly turned his head, his pupils narrowed slightly at this moment, deep and dark.

At the same time, the right hand has already pressed the handle of the [Banshee] in the [Mirage Bag].

The position Kamiya looked at was a corner of the street behind him.

And after he turned his head, the figure at the corner flashed, and there was the sound of little leather shoes stepping on the ground, his footsteps flustered, and he gradually drifted away.

"It's just a person."

Kamiyagawa was slightly disappointed.

Although the person at the corner moved very quickly, with the help of the technique of [Autumn Hair Cut] to strengthen his eyesight, Kamiya still easily saw the appearance of the other person.

It's a girl who looks like a junior high school student, with short hair, wearing a fall and winter sailor suit with a jacket, probably a school uniform.

"So why did you run? If I didn't run in such a hurry, I could simply ignore you as a little girl spying on a strange and handsome big brother out of curiosity."

Kamiyagawa didn't go after that JC by himself.

Instead, he took out the mallard bird copper match.

"Abba whimpering."

A crimson-purple ghostly aura lingered, and the little old man appeared.

Kamiya raised his chin towards the corner just now.

The little old man understood immediately, screaming and jumping to summon his body.

Then the avatar chased out like a strange species, and the little old man returned to the mallard copper part.

After finishing this trivial matter, Kamiya navigated according to the map again, and continued to find the hotel in the town.

It probably took another ten minutes or so.

Kamiya found a hotel in the town.

This hotel has no name, only a wooden plaque of "Middle Ancient Home" is hung.

The house is entirely wooden and looks old.

The owner of the hotel is a hunchbacked old woman with a kind face.

Kamiyagawa simply checked in here.

The cost of accommodation is not expensive, 2000 yen per night.

After taking the key, Shengu was led by her mother-in-law to the second floor of the hotel.

The hotel room is not big, it may be converted from the original residential room, with a small bed.

Like the hotel itself, the room is a bit old, but at least there is a separate bathroom, and it has been cleaned carefully, and it looks quite clean.

Kamiya is not picky.

Living in an island town, this condition is not bad.

"Young man, this room is yours. I'm downstairs. If you have anything to do, you can come down and talk to me directly." The hotel mother-in-law said this, and turned to leave.

"Wait a minute, mother-in-law."

"What's wrong?"

"Well, I want to ask about Master Red Ray on Oguri Island. It is said that the Red Ray Festival was still held here decades ago."

Kamiyagawa didn't go around the bush at all, and got straight to the point.

According to the inn's mother-in-law's age, she must know about Mr. Red Ray on Oguri Island.

"Why are you asking this?"

The mother-in-law asked back like this, but her expression did not show too much vigilance, but more doubts.

"Oh, that's how it is." Kamiya smiled, put one hand into his pocket, and held the [Thousand Silver Needles], "I'm a student of Kyushu University, majoring in monsters, and I'm still learning folklore. Scholar. This time I came to Oguri Island to collect customs related to Lord Red Ray, which is my subject for this semester."

[One Thousand Silver Needles] This item is basically useless against ghost stories and spiritual masters, but it is very useful for deceiving ordinary people.

Ordinary people have a high probability of believing "lies" that are in great conflict with the facts and completely illogical.

But afterward, I guess it won't be long before I wake up.

The more outrageous the lie, the faster you will wake up.

However, like the lie that Kamiyagawa is telling now, there is no fault in logic, and it is more reasonable.

Moreover, he was already a senior high school student. When he was not wearing a school uniform, there was not much difference in appearance if he was a college student.

Plus, lying itself doesn't harm the interests of the person you're talking to.

These elements are superimposed, unless someone jumps out and takes a picture of Shengu's student ID card, proving that he is still a high school student at Hualing High School, otherwise this lie may not even be seen through at all.

It can only be said that Kamiyagawa still has a strong understanding of the item [One Thousand Silver Needles].

Without him, only hands are familiar.

"He's a college student who is learning." The inn's mother-in-law looked at Shengu's face and was in a daze for a few seconds. "No wonder she came to a remote island like ours at this time."

In fact, my mother-in-law couldn't understand a lot of what Shen Guchuan just said, but under the guidance of [One Thousand Silver Needles], the old man still recognized and accepted Shen Guchuan's new identity to the greatest extent according to his own understanding.

"Well, so does mother-in-law know about Master Red Stingray?"

"Of course I know. Lord Red Stingray is a very powerful and kind god, and will bless us with a good harvest." The hotel mother-in-law nodded.

This statement is similar to the content provided by the official information.

"Is there anything else? For example, how was the red stingray festival done in the past?"

"Others? No more. As for the sacrifice, there was it when I was young. I just remember that it was very lively. Many people went to the shrine of Lord Red Stingray to worship together. After the sacrifice, everyone would eat sea bream together. When this place was still a village, the priests in the village presided over the sacrifices. However, the last priest died of illness decades ago."

"That's it."

Kamiya doesn't feel that the hotel mother-in-law is lying to herself.

For the vast majority of ordinary people, they only know what benefits the gods they worship will bring them.

As for the background of the gods and related customs, it is really hard to tell why.

"Where is Lord Red Ray's shrine?" Kamiya asked again.

"It's deserted now. It's in the woods to the east of the town. The road over there is not easy to walk, and it's getting dark. If you want to see it, young man, you can go tomorrow."

The hotel mother-in-law replied like this, and also gave a kind reminder by the way.

"I know, mother-in-law." Kamiyagawa smiled.

"Hey, maybe Oguri Island has not paid homage to Master Red Manta for a long time. Master Red Manta is angry, and this year's catch is so poor." Because of the conversation with Kamiya, the inn mother-in-law sighed like this, and then slowly Looking up, "Young man, do you have anything else to do?"

"Oh, and one more question—grandmother, are there better restaurants on the island? I haven't had dinner yet."

"You're asking the right person. Go out from here and go southeast, and the restaurant of Yoshizawa's family is over there. This year's fishing harvest is very poor, but Yoshizawa still has conch and sea bream. He It was delicious."

"Okay, thank you mother-in-law."

...

Asakawa Hanpei, 10 years old this year, is an ordinary primary school student in Dali Town Primary School.

His father, like many men on the island, was engaged in fishing.

The conditions of the Asakawa family are not bad, at least on Oguri Island.

Asakawa Banping was raised fat and fat by his family since he was a child, and he was a little richer than other peers.

That night, Banping finished his homework and went to bed early after washing up.

There are no recreational activities on the island, and elementary school students go to bed early.

Asakawa Hanpei had a dream.

He dreamed that he was playing hide-and-seek with a few friends on the beach.

Adults are always telling children not to play on the beach, but these little devils always ignore it.

After the game started, Banping hid behind a rock.

After hiding for a long time, the little ghost partner still couldn't find him.

Asakawa Banping waited while looking around boredly. Suddenly, he saw a strange thing——

In the shallows not far from him, the waves were beating against the black rocks and splashing white foam.

There is a bright red thing floating back and forth in it.

After a few back and forth, the bright red got closer and closer to the shore, and slowly stood upright.

Only then did Asakawa Hanpei fully see that it was an old man in a beautiful red kimono.

The old man has a long white beard, standing on the beach, the sea water dripping down his brightly colored kimono.

"Come."

The old man waved towards Asakawa Banhei.

Banping's dream ended here temporarily, he turned over on the bed, as if he had fallen into a deeper sleep.

But in fact, Banping's experience in the dream is not completely fake.

Two days ago, he was indeed playing with a few friends on the beach in his dream, which is the beach west of Dali Island.

It's also playing hide-and-seek, and it's also hiding behind the reef.

But what happened later, Asakawa Hanping didn't remember.

During the hide-and-seek two days ago, he passed out.

When he woke up again, he was already lying on his own bed.

It was the friends who were playing together who found him passed out on the beach and notified the adults in time.

No one knows why Asakawa Hanpei fainted.

Even he himself doesn't know.

The adults only thought that Banping was playing on the beach and accidentally bumped his head.

For this reason, these little devils were scolded.

I have said several times that I can't go to the beach to play.

How dangerous.

"No..."

Banping on the bed uttered vague dreams and started dreaming again.

This time, he still dreamed that he was on the beach.

The surrounding environment is very dark.

A bonfire was lit on the beach, and its flames rose high into the dark sky.

It's like burning a hole in the sky.

Asakawa Banping was standing by the edge of the bonfire, surrounded by a dozen adults.

The clothes of those grown-ups looked a little old, which was very different from the current style.

They held hands, gathered and dispersed.

The leading adult was still whispering from time to time, not knowing what he was talking about.

Hot...so hot.

Hot enough to melt.

Banping felt uneasy, he followed the light of the bonfire and looked towards the sea.

In the pitch-black seawater, there is an extremely bright red mass floating up and down with the waves.

After a few back and forth, the red was getting closer and closer to the coast.

Become an old man with a white beard in a beautiful kimono.

The seawater dripped down his wet red kimono, pattering and dizzying, bright as blood.

"Come."

The old man waved at Asakawa Banpei.

Ban Ping walked over in a daze.

The surrounding adults began to whisper in unison, pious and solemn.

After getting closer, Asakawa Banping saw the face of the old man in kimono clearly, he was a very, very kind old man.

The old man raised his hand and rubbed Banping's head.

Then--

Hiss!

The face and chest of the old man in kimono were simultaneously torn out with a big bloody hole, and strips of red hollow tubes squirmed out from his face and chest.

The lumen surged towards Banping, pierced into his delicate white and fat skin, pulled out the barbs, and firmly fixed in it.

gurgling.

Those red lumens squirmed, as if something was flowing inside them.

Flowing from the semi-flat body to the body of the old man in kimono.

The old man let out an old but pleasant low moan, on his cracked face and chest, at the end of those wriggling red lumens, some white-yellow fat fluid flowed downward.

"No, no!"

Banping was terrified and wailed.

It hurts...so painful.

And at this juncture, Asakawa Hanpei, who was so frightened that he leaked urine, seemed to hear a strange sound.

"po~po~po~"

The sound was weird, as if someone sucked their lips tightly, and then let go, letting the lips bounce back.

And for some reason, Asakawa Hanping had a feeling.

It seemed that the strange voice that sounded in such a terrifying scene was far away from him and did not belong to the present moment.

It's just like……

The same sound that sounded outside his dreams.

"po~po~po~"
