After getting lost in the abandoned village, they gradually became confused and infatuated

The suffocating smell of dust and mildew hit her face. Asuka was choked and took a few steps back, coughing repeatedly.

Optics Valley Falcon pinched his nose and frowned.

After the smoke and dust had almost dispersed, Optics Valley Falcon rolled up his sleeves.

"We can't go down together. If anything happens, it's best to have someone to take care of us."

"You wait for me outside."

Asuka nodded seriously.

This is what Optics Valley-kun has assigned to her, and she must complete it seriously!

I dropped a stone and reached the bottom almost instantly.

It's almost two meters deep.

When he first made the bathtub, Miu Yamashita made a lot of thick ropes.

When he went out, Optics Valley Falcon took one with him.

Three meters long, coiled in a backpack.

He took out the rope, found a relatively heavy stone and tied it to it, and fixed it with wood. This made him feel at ease.

In the deserted mountains and villages, you must be careful no matter what you do.

"Watch the rope and don't let it fall off."

"Then, wait for me."

Asuka was a little worried.

"Hikaru, Kogu-kun!"

Optics Valley Falcon, who was halfway down, stopped and glanced at her.

"Please, please pay attention to safety!"

Optics Valley Falcon gestured to her that it was okay, and then continued to climb down.

Seeing that the distance was almost there, he let go of his hand and stepped firmly on the ground.

He took out his flashlight and explored inside.

The cellar is not big, about forty square feet.

The lack of necessary air circulation resulted in a pungent musty smell.

The light was very dark and I couldn't see clearly under my feet. There was a very sticky feeling when I stepped on it, which was very uncomfortable.

By the light of the flashlight, Optics Valley Falcon discovered that there were many old facilities on display in the cellar.

There are rusty metal shackles in the corner, a whip covered with spider webs on the wall, a triangular wooden horse stained with red blood, and a huge [X]-shaped wooden frame at the innermost side, with leather straps at the four ends for tying things up. .

It's like a dedicated S&M room in Butter.

The ruins on the ground are not big, that is, they are the size of ordinary houses.

"So, why does an ordinary villager have such a cellar for torture in his home?"

"The villagers here usually have a lot of fun."

Optics Valley Falcon sighed and strode towards the inside.

The light of the flashlight moved back and forth between these torture instruments, and the floating dust jumped back and forth in the light beam, adding a touch of mystery to this dark cellar.

These instruments are unremarkable, just the torture props that can be found everywhere in butter.

In fact, there are many such things in the hands of some players with special hobbies in Japan.

Moreover, there are more tricks than this.

What kind of corsets, mouthballs, etc.

These things displayed in the cellar can only prove that the original owner of the house was an S&M lover.

Optics Valley Falcon is not interested in the quirks of the aborigines.

What he wanted to find was something else.

"Ok?"

"what is this?"

Suddenly, the light of the flashlight caught a metal object, which shone brightly.

Optics Valley Falcon walked over and picked it up, playing it back and forth in his hands to check.

"Is it...a candlestick?"

This metal object is undoubtedly a candlestick, but judging from the shape, it doesn't look like the kind used in games.

On the contrary, it seems...for sacrifice.

The candlestick is very long, almost 30 centimeters.

There are three floors from bottom to top.

At the bottom is a square base, in the middle is a round fan blade, and at the top is a triangular pillar clamp, with a slender spike in the middle for piercing candles.

There are some small words engraved on the body of the candlestick. It is difficult to see clearly due to age and corrosion.

It seems to be...hiragana.

Hiragana is derived from Hanzi cursive script. For Mitsutani Hayabusa, who is Chinese at heart, there is no obstacle to reading it.

"Himeka...mura?"

"Is this the name of this village?"

"The people of Jixiang Village are born guilty..."

"Only purification rituals can eradicate sin..."

Jixiang Village?

Purification ritual?

Mitsutani Hayabusa really couldn't connect the purification ceremony with the S&M equipment around him.

Or is it that, for the villagers here, S&M itself is part of the purification ritual?

Or all of them?

With this doubt, Guanggu Falcon continued to search the cellar.

Chapter 56 Niuniu is about to explode

Time passed by minute by minute.

Outside the cellar, Asuka Matsuguchi felt that the air around her was getting colder and colder.

It was already afternoon when she and Optics Valley Falcon arrived here, and they went down to explore for a long time.

Watching the sky gradually darken, the white mist around them became thicker and thicker.

It was the first time Asuka stayed out so late, and she was still a little panicked.

He walked around the cellar entrance repeatedly, occasionally going up to see how the Optics Valley Falcon's investigation was going.

But it was too dark inside and I couldn't see anything clearly.

"Guanggu-kun!"

"How are you doing there?"

"It's getting dark outside!"

After a while, the voice of Optics Valley Falcon sounded.

"almost!"

"I found a lot of interesting stuff."

"I didn't expect that there would be so many interesting gadgets hidden in this small cellar."

Mitsutani Hayabusa's voice brought Asuka a considerable sense of security.

She held her chest, her tension eased slightly, and she felt her heartbeat gradually slow down.

"Then hurry up!"

"I'm up there alone, I'm scared!"

"I know!" Optics Valley Falcon responded and continued to look for things.

It can be said that he gained a lot from this trip.

In addition to the candlesticks, many ritual props were also found.

Different from the traditional Shinto sacrificial utensils, the shapes of these things are very weird, with an indescribable weirdness.

Optics Valley Falcon even felt that he was participating in a real running group and exploring the secret realm of Cthulhu.

The evil ghost head carved out of wood is lifelike, as if it really crawled out of hell.

A thick red rope tied with a bell, but the bell was made of the bones of some kind of animal.

There are also wooden thorns that have been soaked with blood, and a metal cover fastened to the head, with many unknown words engraved on the outside.

There are too many weird and strange things like this, beyond the imagination of Optics Valley Falcon.

In addition to such a large number of fragmentary things, Optics Valley Falcon also found a well-preserved diary.

This diary can be said to be the biggest gain today.

The person who wrote the diary should be a folklorist.

In terms of content, it is about the investigation of the purification ritual that I saw before.

There are no names on the diary.

The brush strokes are strong and powerful, and he should be a man.

Judging from the oxidation of the paper, the time when the diary was written can be traced back a long time.

"This is an investigative report on purification rituals."

"The purification ceremony is a weird sacrificial ceremony unique to Jixiang Village."

"According to the local people, they believe that people are born with sin. If the sin is not purified, it will be corrupted by the sin and become a devil."

"This almost pathological religious concept gave rise to a very special purification ritual."

"The so-called purification ceremony is the sexual intercourse between men and women in a pre-prepared sacrificial occasion."

"Through intercourse, men pour sin into women's bodies. Afterwards, women carrying sins will be tortured by these torture instruments to achieve the result of physical and mental purification."

"I participated in several purification rituals later on."

"Inhuman abuse is naked torture of those women."

"Their painful wails and images of their flesh being torn apart are lingering in my mind, haunting me like a nightmare."

"As a folklorist, I don't think this ritual should exist at all."

"It's a pity that I am trapped here and cannot escape. The villagers here look at me like a prisoner."

"A few times, I finally found an opportunity, but they caught me. I already felt that they had murderous intentions towards me."

"Perhaps I can't leave here, so I can only write down my experiences and hide them in some places that are not easy to find."

"If someone can see these contents one day, please tell the police about Jixiang Village."

"Jixiang Village should not exist at all."

The diary ends here.

After reading it, Optics Valley Falcon fell into deep thought.

Villagers, purification rituals…

In other words, this scholar came here before Jixiang Village was abandoned.

Regarding the purification ceremony, the diary has clearly recorded it.
