JOJO hiding in the hunter world
#253 - :Village and the Elderly
"How is it?" Jon asked Shuuichi Yamanaka.
Just now, Shuuichi Yamanaka had conveyed Jon's proposal to Taiichi Hasegawa.
There's no doubt that Jon's strength is very formidable; the title of One-Star Crime Hunter is well-deserved.
Ten million Jenny is basically the same as giving it away for free; it's only a bit more expensive than a rookie hunter.
You can earn that much by fighting up to the 130th or 140th floor of the Heavens Arena; Kurapika earns more than that in a month as a bodyguard.
If you were to hire famous assassins, like the Zoldyck Family or something, fifty billion might not be enough.
The fighting power and danger of those few monsters are obvious.
"What? Are you sure?" Shuuichi Yamanaka was very surprised, in disbelief, as if listening to an idiot speak.
Has something changed? Jon was a little puzzled; this price was really basically giving it away for free; Jenny's purchasing power was about the same as the Japanese Yen in his previous life; it really wasn't expensive.
"I understand." Shuuichi Yamanaka hung up the phone.
"What's wrong? They don't agree?"
"Well, Taiichi Hasegawa is just a squad leader and doesn't have the authority to decide this matter. He has seen your strength and wants to ask for your help, but he doesn't have the authority to decide this matter.
His superior, Chief Inspector Kihara, said that they have already decided to dispatch the strongest combat power of their Metropolitan Police Department, the strongest Onmyoji in the Sakura Country, to solve these two monsters."
"Sakura Country has such things? Didn't you say that those so-called Onmyoji are all useless?"
Jon's understanding of Onmyoji was limited to the Onmyoji game he played in his previous life, which he quit because it was too non-European, not enough grinding, and he was bad at it.
He wondered if he could personally touch the shikigami that he never had the chance to draw in his previous life.
"Have they found the hiding place of that Red Ogre?"
"I haven't told them yet." Shuuichi Yamanaka was a little puzzled.
"Okay, tell me where that place is? I want to see what kind of person that so-called Onmyoji is.
There are no restrictions on observing Phantasmal Beasts yet, right? And if the monsters attack first and want to kill humans, even Phantasmal Beasts listed as protected animals can be killed."
Entrapment? Shuuichi Yamanaka had a deeper doubt in his heart.
Why did Jon agree to be hired at such a low price, which showed that Jon really wanted to fight monsters, and why did the government not want Jon to continue to contact monsters?
Was there some secret in this? Shuuichi Yamanaka became depressed.
Two hours later, a small, unnamed place in the suburbs of Zongbin.
Jon was eating takoyaki, while Shuuichi Yamanaka was wearing sunglasses and a hat, eating a box of sushi.
Jon still didn't like the taste of sushi very much and had a special preference for cooked food; he couldn't appreciate sashimi or anything like that.
However, Jon's taste was also very low-end; even if he were to eat the dishes of those masters, it would feel about the same as the small restaurant downstairs next door.
This was Jon's breakfast; the taste was not bad, and Shuuichi Yamanaka paid for it.
Jon felt that the Sakura Country government was hiding something and wanted to take the last chance to see the situation, but Shuuichi Yamanaka was still relatively wary of him and proposed to follow.
Jon agreed; anyway, it wasn't something that couldn't be seen, and it was better to be generous, and he could even save the taxi fare.
Honestly, the hiding place of these two monsters was indeed remote; Zongbin District was a large district that relied on mountains rather than the sea.
Within Zongbin, there was the third highest mountain and the second largest forest in Sakura Country, which was also the most environmentally dangerous place in all of Sakura Country; the forest environment had not been developed into a tourist attraction because it was too dangerous.
This forest spanned several counties; it was only in Zongbin City that there was a part of it.
Many small villages were scattered along the mountains; in ancient times, these small villages were far from the emperor, and the war years were the safest.
Earthen walls were enough to block most wild animals; the roads from these small villages to the city were very bad.
These advantages in ancient times have now become disadvantages.
The population loss in these villages is very large; young people have gone to the city to work hard and live; those who stay here are basically elderly people.
Shuuichi Yamanaka had already done his homework and determined the approximate location before going to inquire about relevant information.
Honestly, this village didn't look special; it was very backward and primitive.
After all, it was a capitalist country, and the infrastructure was very poor because there was no profit; the beginning was a cement road, and later it became a completely dirt road.
At the entrance of the village, Jon saw an old man working in the fields.
"Hey, old man over there, can I ask you something?"
The old man put down the farm work in his hand and looked at Jon with dull, lifeless eyes.
Jon immediately realized that this old man was blind; his pupils were too small and whitish.
"Old man, are there any strange things in your village? Are there any strange rumors? Has anyone died recently?"
Jon said it three times before the old man babbled some words that didn't make sense.
"Stop it." A young figure immediately hugged the old man.
It was a young girl, about sixteen or seventeen years old, who looked like she had the temperament of a JK, but she was wearing very masculine clothes.
The girl's face was very anxious, as if the old man had suddenly gone crazy in front of people and she wanted to take him back quickly.
Jon used 'Gaze' to look over; this old man and girl should be said to be normal people; although the old man's aura was a bit strange, the spirit of a mentally ill patient was indeed different from ordinary people, but it shouldn't be the Nen aura of a monster.
"Let me help." Shuuichi Yamanaka helped the girl hug the crazy old man.
Although Shuuichi Yamanaka's Nen ability was not offensive, his physique was there; even an ordinary person with that muscle could easily control a crazy old man.
"Thank you..."
"Let me help you send the old man back; you are his granddaughter, right? Where is your home?"
"No, no, no, you misunderstood; he's just my grandfather's neighbor."
"Neighbor? Then why?"
"I left this village when I was nine years old; it's been eight years; my grandfather in this village doesn't even have a phone; the last time I saw him was five years ago.
Strangely enough, the old people in the village have also died one after another in the past few years; my grandfather passed away two years ago, and I only found out yesterday; this old man, Uemura, is the last old man in this village; they have no way to contact their children, and they all bury each other and inscribe tombstones after death.
He is the last old man; he has long been driven mad by loneliness and loneliness, muttering about ghosts and gods all day long. His family doesn't even have contact information for his family.
Alas, what will happen to this old man when I go back after the winter vacation!" The girl was a little discouraged.
As she spoke, "Here it is! It's ahead."
This girl was a bit outgoing; basically, she was the one talking all the way, and Jon didn't have a chance to say anything.
The houses in front were all made of brick, with low earthen walls outside, just like the other houses in his village.
The old man struggled more violently, but it was useless.
Jon and Shuuichi Yamanaka suspected that this old man was not crazy because his companions had gone before him one by one.
It was too coincidental that so many old men died in these few years.
It was very likely that this old man went crazy after seeing the monster; this village needed to be investigated.
ps: I haven't had any inspiration recently. I didn't cut off the tail well in the last chapter, and then there was a section of the plot that I didn't write and wanted to put in this chapter, and then after writing it, I found that there were too few words, regretted it, and then forcibly changed it to this...
