The great revival of Yuri Kosaka

"Too slow. As the detective's assistant, you should take action three seconds after the detective decides."

"You're not a detective, you're a cartoonist...but to be honest, wouldn't it be too dangerous for us to go out like this?" Although Yujiro Hattori followed him out of desperation, he had only been gone for a few minutes. , he was a little worried, looking at the increasingly lush vegetation on the left and right with some fear.

If just now it could be said that they just accidentally turned into a path that looked like a mountain forest, it is a little unreasonable to walk on dirt for so long now.

There is no excuse anymore. The two of them seemed to have really encountered the legendary Kamiyin in the reinforced concrete city of Tokyo.

"No, I think maybe it would be more dangerous to stay where you are." "Why?" "I just said that we are introduced to the protagonist of the comic... So what do you think, in a comic, if the protagonist stays in the same place all the time? , what will happen if the plot is not advanced." "It depends on the situation. There are a lot of opening explanations of world view settings, etc., but if there are no explosive points, it will not attract readers. If it cannot attract readers... ..." Although it seemed that he had encountered Kamigakure at this moment and he was very scared, Yujiro Hattori still subconsciously started to think about the problem from an editor's point of view, and immediately understood what Eiji Niizuma was going to say.

"That's right! That's what ordinary cartoonists hate and fear the most... being cut in half!" "But that's a matter of comics. What I'm experiencing now..." "It's the same, reality. It's just an urban-themed comic, and now the style has just changed slightly." "This is not a little bit!" Yujiro Hattori looked at the unknown road around him with some worry, and was a little worried about whether they could go back. .

Although he had just encountered this kind of thing, he still had time to talk to his new wife Eiji like this.

But if a few days or dozens of days pass, he has no confidence that he will be able to maintain his sanity after that.

After all, horror comics are also a very popular category, and as an editor, he has read countless horror comics.

Coupled with the fact that Eiji Shinzuma just asked him to think about what the protagonist of the comic would do, he naturally had pessimistic thoughts.

Eiji Niizuma asked him to bring in the protagonist, but that was because he had such a positive idea. Yujiro Hattori was actually thinking of those passers-by who died tragically in horror comics with just one name and one line.

"Oh oh oh, here's the clue!" Just when Yujiro Hattori was extremely worried, Eiji, the new wife who was walking in front, suddenly made a voice, which made him tremble and immediately turn his head to look.

"Is this...a shrine?" What Eiji Niizuma found was a very old-looking shrine, which was placed on the side of the road. It looked like it had been beaten by wind and rain.

The main body of the shrine has faded and become somewhat damaged over the years, but it is still strong and is not in a state of falling apart.

The strange thing is that the shrine is obviously made of wood, but the statue inside is indeed made of stone.

But just like wood, due to the constant wind and rain, it is completely unclear what the main body of the statue is, and moss has grown on half of it.

But in front of such a broken shrine, someone didn't know who placed a tribute here. From the outside, it seemed to be something similar to dango from a Japanese confectionery shop.

"Although the tributes have been stored for some time, they have not deteriorated yet..." "Wait, wait, wait! Don't touch those tributes. Whether they are games or comics, don't things start to happen after touching these things? ." Seeing Eiji's new wife directly touching the tributes under the shrine, Yujiro Hattori quickly put away the things and put the tributes back. After all, this thing looked unlucky.

"Hey~~ Even though you said that, we also need information." "Let's see what information the tribute can bring..." "Hmm~~~ You can't think of this, Yuujiro-chan, in this kind of divine hiding place The tributes placed in the secret realm have not deteriorated, it must be because someone has paid tribute recently." "Although this is possible... But the greater possibility should not be that this is a supernatural place, so the food has also Some kind of supernatural power." "Ah, although that possibility is also possible, I advise Yujiro-chan not to think about it that way." "Why, why..." "Because in that case, that is because we are not here. It's not a shonen manga, but a standard horror manga. We wouldn't be able to struggle in that situation." "Hey!!!" Yujiro Hattori, who realized the meaning of Eiji Niizuma's words, let out a strange scream, causing the surrounding forest to scream. A bunch of birds fluttered away.

"There are birds... This is good news. It means that there are animals and other things here." "..." Yujiro Hattori thought that the flying thing might not be a bird, but he did not speak.

Because what Eiji Niizuma said just now was quite right, he felt that it was better to think on the bright side.

"But what kind of god's shrine is this? It doesn't look like Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva." Eiji Niizuma checked the left and right sides of the main body of the shrine. Originally, there should be inscriptions on both sides, but due to aging, it was completely unclear.

“The atmosphere is too weird, Shinzuma-kun, let’s get out of here.

"That's right. Then let's... um." "Are you okay?"ah!What did you encounter? ' [Crack] Just when Eiji Niizuma finished his observation and was about to turn around and leave, he seemed to knock over something on the ground because he didn't pay attention to his steps.

Turning around, he noticed that there was a rather hidden small cup in the weeds next to the enshrined dumplings. Some dark brown liquid was slowly flowing out of it.

"Hey, this is... Sniff, sniff." Realizing that he had omitted something, the new wife Eiji immediately stepped forward and investigated the thing that had just been knocked over in the most direct way.

"What is this? What is this? It shouldn't be blood or something." "No, from the smell, this seems to be... soy sauce?"

Chapter 660 Old Newspapers

"Soy sauce? Is soy sauce a tribute to the gods?" "Maybe it's the custom here... Forget it, let's leave first." "Yes, let's go, let's go." Although I don't know what the worshiper is thinking, other than this There seems to be nothing else to focus on.

After hesitating for a moment, Eiji Niizuma stopped observing the shrine and continued walking forward.

However, as he walked further in, the bushes on the left and right became more lush, and Yujiro Hattori became more and more panicked as he walked.

"There is a house there!" After walking for more than ten minutes, Eiji Niizuma's eyes suddenly lit up, he noticed a house not far ahead, and immediately said to Yujiro Hattori.

"Gu... Niizuma-kun, I think it's better not to go into this house." When Eiji Niizuma saw it, Yujiro Hattori naturally saw it too.

But the house that appeared on the roadside looked even more dilapidated than the shrine on the roadside. Most of the house was covered with vines, and it looked like an abandoned house commonly seen in horror movies. Yujiro Hattori had a feeling after just one glance. I feel like I don't want to go in.

"Assistant, don't complain. This is a clue that came out with great difficulty." "But this house has an unpleasant atmosphere from the outside." "But we still have to go..." Forgot, we don't have water or food now." "Ah!" After being reminded by Eiji Niizuma, Yujiro Hattori immediately realized that something was wrong.

Although he is not hungry now, they have all encountered this situation. If there is no clean water and food, even if they do not encounter any supernatural events here, they will perish due to lack of supplements.

"But, but, in this case, there might be puddles or something like that in the woods on the left and right, and yes, dew would also be fine... Didn't there be birds flying away just now? There must be poultry there, too." "I don't think so. It's so simple... No matter what, I want to go in and take a look anyway." "No, really go, Niizuma-kun, Niizuma-kun!" Seeing Niizuma Eiji ignoring him, he stepped into the house very decisively. , Yujiro Hattori looked very panicked.

There was a conflicting feeling of wanting to stop the other party, but not wanting to, but during the period of hesitation, Eiji Niizuma had already stepped into the door.

This made Hattori Yujiro grit his teeth and ran in.

"Guwa!! Ah...ah? It's okay, we're okay." "We just entered the gate, there's no need to be so exaggerated." "We encountered Shenyin, Shenyin!!! There's no need to be wary. Let's just live with it." "I know, I know, let's find something useful now." Eiji Niizuma comforted Yujiro Hattori, and then turned his attention to the inside of the house.

Just like the outside, the inside is just as dilapidated.

Most of the windows that were originally used to keep out wind and rain have been broken by the passage of time, and the door no longer functions as a door. This allows moss, vines, weeds and other messy things to grow freely in the house.

The house is a two-story structure. The place they entered should be the living room with a yard on the side, but because the living room door did not work, they walked in directly.

The front door is quite complete, but if you enter the living room door at will, it won't help if the front door is closed so tightly.

Although the situation on the second floor can't be seen clearly from here, I guess it shouldn't be too different.

"There is no way there is food in such a dilapidated house... Even if there is, I won't eat it." Yujiro Hattori looked at the location of the kitchen and glanced at the pile of sundries. They had turned black after not being used for many years. He said very firmly.

"Why do you think you can find food in a place like this? Yujiro, are you really normal?" "Hey, but you didn't say..." "The useful things are not just food." "In other words...intelligence? "Although his head was dizzy at first, after he became a little more rational, Hattori Yujiro more or less understood what Eiji Shinzuma meant.

After all, he has been a comics editor for many years. Although he was suddenly confused, at this time, the messy knowledge in his mind came in handy and he understood what he should do.

"Looks like a building from the Showa period?" The appearance of the house can't be accurate, and there are many people who like retro, but the appliances inside don't lie.

It’s no longer possible in the living room

The TV that was working was an old-fashioned big-ass TV. Although the lights were gone, the switches were still there. They were not of today's style.

What's more important are some things that still have writing on them, such as old kettles and side covers of refrigerators. In places like this, there are still signs of production in Showa XX.

However, since they were not purchased at the same time, the production dates range from Showa 40 to Showa 50 or more.

"Hey, Shinzuma-kun, maybe you should take a look at this." "Did you find anything?" Just as the two of them were looking around at these messy items.

When Hattori Yujiro opened a drawer that was somewhat entangled by Fujiman, he stared in surprise, and then called his new wife Eiji over.

"Is this... a newspaper? Or a local newspaper?" This drawer seemed to have not been opened for many years. There was a thick layer of dust inside, but the newspaper covered under the dust was more eye-catching.

In particular, it is marked with a very large title: [The serial murder case of Hinamizawa has not yet been solved. Yesterday, the criminals attacked the president of Otomeki Garden. Otomeki Tetsuro was unfortunately killed. The Kogung Police Station reminds all residents of the recent news. Don't go out casually to avoid encountering criminals. 】 After this capitalized title, there is a series of specific information about the case, and a mosaic photo of Tetsuro Komotoki's death is attached on the side.

Although it is said to be mosaic, it can still be barely seen that the deceased seems to have been burned.

"No way, no way!! This is starting to look more and more like something out of a comic book, with the sudden disappearance of the gods, the shrine on the roadside, the unknown events!!!" Finding new information is a good thing, but Hattori Yujiro's expression became even more ugly.

Because since the beginning, he felt that things were really just as Eiji Niizuma said, and their current encounter was like the opening of a comic.

"That's good, that's good!!" "What's good, we are all in big trouble anyway." "But this also means that we may still need to investigate the truth, discover the answer to the mystery, and finally be like the protagonist. The reveal... is much better than the characters in those horror short stories that start with no solution."

Chapter 661

"Wait a minute, pay attention here." "May of Showa 58?" "Nearly 30 years ago?" In one corner of the newspaper, the date of publication of the newspaper is written, and on the back is relatively ordinary folk news.

Yujiro Hattori seemed more worried, but the current situation was already very bad. He felt that it was useless to worry, and he seemed to be a little calmer.

"Hinimizawa, it's a place I've never heard of." He read the newspaper again, focusing on the place name Hinimizawa. " Judging from this newspaper, the place where they are now should be called Hinamizawa.

But there is no way to be sure. If it is a neighboring village, it is normal to have news newspapers from surrounding areas.

'Boom' 'Boom' 'Boom boom boom' Just as the two of them were thinking inside, suddenly the sound of a car driving was heard outside. This made the two of them stunned and immediately came out of the house.

"Hey, hey~~~" "Wait a minute, wait a minute!" Passing by outside was a gray-black off-road vehicle with a fairly high chassis. It looked like it was prepared for walking on this kind of mountain road.

But the focus of the two of them was not this, but that a car suddenly drove past in such a ghost place!They shouted desperately to get the car's attention.

Unfortunately, the car was already outside the house when I heard the sound. It took a while to get out of the house, and the car is now 2 or 30 meters away.

The people inside didn't seem to hear their voices and headed deeper.

"Hey, maybe I shouldn't have come with Shinzuma-kun just now, but drove our car over here..." The speed of the car was impossible to catch up with human footsteps. After realizing that the car was going After no one noticed them, Hattori Yujiro said a little discouraged.

"But this also makes us understand that there may be someone here... Of course, it's possible that it's not a human." "No, it's not a human... Don't scare me." "Meeting inhuman beings in a place like this No matter how you think about it, the probability is higher than that of people, but this way you have a direction and goal, let's go towards them." "Hmm... Do you want to go back and drive my car there?" Yujiro Hattori did not object. He chased her, but after thinking about it, he thought maybe they should go back, get in their car and chase after them, which would most likely be faster than they were going.

"Yujiro is really not paying attention. Didn't you hear that? Their car has stopped." "What?" After hearing what Eiji Niizuma said, Hattori Yujiro was stunned for a moment and turned to look in the direction of the car. , but because there is a corner over there, I can’t see the specific situation clearly.

This made him look suspicious, unsure whether the car had really stopped.

"I heard the brakes, turning the corner

After that... Let's catch up now, go, go!" "Ah, don't run so fast, damn, my physical strength is lower than before?If you leave from here, you will definitely go to the gym to exercise. "Eiji Niizuma didn't give Yujiro Hattori any time to react. After explaining to himself, he immediately started running forward.

Hattori Yujiro chased after two steps, and then realized that he was not physically strong enough to advance at full speed like his opponent, so he took the lead in setting a flag for himself.

Fortunately, the new wife Eiji did not completely leave him. When the other party ran to the junction of the corner, he stopped.

However, his expression became even weirder. He seemed to be frowning, looking at the scenery behind the corner incomprehensibly.

Yujiro Hattori, who was a few steps slower than Eiji Arizuma, also arrived at the corner a moment later, with the same incomprehensible expression.

Mainly because of all the previous preparations, the two thought that a place called Hinamizawa would appear behind the corner, and then classic scenes from various comics would be played continuously.

But actually no, it's not like that.

After turning the corner, what appears in front of you is a path going down less than a hundred meters, and on the opposite side of the path.

It was a huge empty space with nothing in it.

No, that's not right. It's a bit inaccurate to say there is nothing. To be more precise, it should be an open space that once had something.

Because the huge open space in front of us can clearly be seen to have been artificially buried.

There was no cover-up at all. There was even a row of safety nets surrounding the huge open space at the end of the road, covering the entire open space, and there were some yellow and black warning signs on them.

The car they saw just now was parked not far from the complete network.

There was an older, slightly fat man chatting with a middle-aged man somewhere. It looked like he must be the one who drove this car.

"What happened here...?" "I don't know, but the place in the safety net should be called Hinamizawa or something." "Those two people do seem to be human beings." "Go. Just ask and see... Hello everyone." "Hey, hey, Shinzuma-kun, you really want to go!!" If they felt like they were in some horror supernatural work just now, after this corner It became some kind of disaster survival movie.

After all, the huge traces of artificial burial below are impossible to ignore, not to mention the overly eye-catching warning signs of the safety net.

"Huh? Who are you?" Facing the new wife Eiji who suddenly came to say hello, some slightly fat old people looked quite confused, not sure where they came from.

"Are you tourists here for adventure? In other words, the car parked on the roadside just now belongs to you... Go back quickly, this is a prohibited area." The middle-aged man realized something and thought of something. The car on the road frowned and said to the two of them.

"We would like to go back if we could, but we can't. This is Kamigakure, you know, Kamigakure." "Hey, Niizuma-kun!" Hearing Niizuma Eiji's straightforward words, Hattori Yujiro suddenly became stiff. He looked at the two people in front of him with some concern.

Because there is a similar rule in many horror works, that is, things like ghosts will act like the humans they pretend to be before being exposed, but once exposed, their true colors will be revealed and they will go crazy.

Fortunately, the two people in front of them showed no signs of transformation due to Niizuma Eiji's words.

But Yujiro Hattori did not relax, because Kamikakure only mentioned it indirectly, not directly, and he must remain alert at all times.

Chapter 662 Hinamizawa’s serial murder case

"Shenyin, Shenyin, it's such a nostalgic word. The villagers used to say this often, so and so and so and so." "Young people these days, think this kind of thing is fashionable, right? .........I really don’t understand." "Ah haha, Akasaka, you are still a young man." "Stop flattering me, Mr. Oishi is like this, and I am old." Kuroto Oishi in front of the car followed Akasaka Mamoru obviously didn't believe what Eiji Niizuma said, he just thought they were tourists who came here to explore or something.

"If you don't believe it, forget it...but can you tell me what happened next?" "You really came here for this matter...forget it, I expected it a long time ago." "Oh, Akasaka-kun is already able to predict the future?" "No, Mr. Oishi, you may not know that due to the development of the Internet in the past two years, the photos here have caused a huge topic after being posted online. After all..." Akasaka Mamoru looked at He looked at the huge artificially buried open space below and did not continue, but Dashi Zangren understood what he meant.

"Although today I just came here with Akasaka-kun to catch up on old times, since you all came here, you must want to know the truth... Then let's come together." "Mr. Oishi, let ordinary people know that it's okay Well?" "It's been 20 years, so it doesn't matter anymore. As you said, it's become a topic on the Internet now, like them.

Everyone has come here. Instead of burying the past, let’s let those who want to know know it. " "That's right...... Come on." "After Oishi Zangren had a conversation with Akasakawei, Akasakawei also figured something out and did not refuse, signaling the two of them to follow them.

Eiji Shinzuma followed without any hesitation. Although Yujiro Hattori hesitated for a moment, he gritted his teeth and followed.

It can be seen from the conversation between the two that the two seem to have misunderstood them as a certain type of person.

But this may make it clearer what happened here, and it doesn't refute what they are not.

"Twenty years ago, I was a police officer at the nearby police station, and Hinamizawa was within the jurisdiction of the police station at that time." Oishi Zangren did not drive, but asked several people to walk to the side of a trail. The trail was very narrow and Cars are not allowed to pass.

"I still remember Mr. Oishi's admirable demeanor at that time." "Ahaha, don't praise me anymore, I'm old now." "I just didn't expect... something like that would happen after that. "...No one can think of it." Oishi Zangren's voice lowered, and then he sighed helplessly.

"But it's a shame you two guys were able to find this place. Which blockade was cut?" "Young people, it's normal to want to know the truth. Don't blame them too much, Akasaka-kun." "It's not a blame. It's just that there are a lot of people who are interested in this place online. It's really rare that people actually drive here to look for it on the ground." Akasaka Mamoru frequently looked at the two people behind him. He was sure that these two people were ordinary people. Civilians, but I don't understand how they got here.

"So we just encountered Shenyin." "Okay, okay, the two people who encountered Shenyin are still here fine." "By the way, where are you taking us?" "To find an old man. Friend." "Old friend? Could it be... Mr. Oishi, is it okay to take them there?" "It's okay, her mental condition is very stable now." Hearing his old friend, Akasaka Mamoru's mind turned around. He realized something, but Oishi Zangren said it was okay, so he didn't say much.

"Hey, Shinzuma-kun." "What's wrong? Yuujiro, don't you want to go with them?" "Go... It's just that you don't think the two of them explained too much, as if they were explaining some setting. ." "So I said it at the beginning, bring myself into the comic works, and the comic works always have to reveal the basic settings." "What are the two people talking about, Mr. Oishi... ..." Seeing the two people behind him begin to whisper again, Akasaka Mamoru said helplessly.

"Let them be. At my age, many things no longer matter, but it might be better to let them know what happened back then." "Are you worried about those rumors and think they will come to you?" Akasaka Mamoru Looking to the left and right, although I thought it was impossible, I always felt that something might be lurking in the woods beside the road.

"Just in case, if something happens to us, the two of them who came here by chance will be the last ones to know..." "I'm afraid they didn't come here by chance..." "Then There is no other way, I don't have many choices anymore." "..." "Mr. Oishi, I would like to ask, what is the so-called Hinamizawa serial murder incident?" While the two were talking, something happened later. The topic has ended.

Because he didn't know the destination or how long he would have to leave, Eiji Niizuma thought for a moment and then asked aloud about the news they had just seen in the newspaper in the drawer of the room.

"The Hinamizawa serial murder case... is so nostalgic. I didn't expect you to ask this..." "What's wrong with this question?" "No, it's nothing. It's just that most people pay more attention to what happens next. It's about what happened before and after the volcanic gas leaked... I see, it's not like there are no clues to find this place?" "...That's right." Niizuma Eiji blinked, without explaining that he didn't mean to say this. , but only know this.

However, Oishi Zangren's reaction made him feel that he had said the key words correctly.

"What about that incident? I also had doubts about it back then, and I did some research...but there was no information." "Ahaha, of course, because of that incident, the murderer was never caught until the end. ." "The murderer was not caught?! But I remember that the case has been closed in the archives." Oishi Zangren's words surprised Akasaka Mamoru, because he had looked through some files at that time, although due to the confidentiality level He didn't borrow it, but he remembered that the record was indeed kept in the secret room where the case had been closed.
