Go back to your room.

Du Ping sat back at the table and began to think about today's events together. According to the situation this afternoon, when he and Aiko Hirota and the others were sending spirits to those dogs, their amulets began to heat up. Tonight, that is. Although the cause has not been found, at least there are ghosts here.

Take out your phone and call the number that belongs to the leaf. The phone was quickly connected, and the distinctive, icy voice of the leaves came.

Du Fair, "My amulet is lit up tonight. ”

Leaves, "Your amulet?"

"At the end of August last year, I bought a talisman from Zhang Tianshi on Fengyue Street in Jingluo. When it is said that there are ghosts nearby, it will give a hint. ”

Leaf, "I know what that thing is. If so, then the nature of the matter has been determined, and there are indeed ghosts. ”

"When I was sending the spirit of the dog with Aiko Hirota this afternoon, I also seemed to feel the amulet heating up. It's just that there were so many people at that time that I couldn't take it out and confirm it. I went to that dog's grave again...... just now."

Ye immediately corrected, "It's a civet dog!"

"Okay, it's a civet dog." I went around there and didn't find anything. But in the afternoon, the amulet was really hot there. ”

Leaf, "Got it!"

"Then my business is done." ”

Ye Zi obviously didn't quite understand Du Ping's language expression, "Done?"

Du Pingping, "I have already completed everything I promised you." Kill the dog, and I will kill it too. Whether the investigation is a strange thing or not, I have also investigated clearly. Do you have any other needs or ideas?"

Leaves, "No. Neither did it!"

Du Pingping, "Then I'm ready to leave." ”

Ye Zi was surprised, "Have you read all the information?"

Du Fair, "It's time to read it, it's all done." If you haven't finished reading it, it doesn't mean much. Besides, time waits for no one, and I can't keep watching. ”

Leaf, "Okay! I wish you success. ”

Du Fair, "Thank you!"

The Beiping Forest in the north of Zangma is a very ordinary forest, and the forests in the whole country are not famous at all.

There are very few road cars on the side of the mountain, and some of them are very dilapidated mountain village farm cars. At this time, a car from the city of Zangma stopped next to the road near the forest. Du Ping walked out of it, stretched long, and then took out a nearly one-man tall backpack from the back seat of the car.

The door opened, and another person stepped down from that side. It is the left Jing and the right guard.

Zuo Jing and the right guard bypassed the car and came to Du Ping's side, "Are you serious?"

"Of course. ”

Du Pingping replied to Zuo Jing and Youwei while starting to organize his begot. The clothes, shoes, and gloves for the mountains and forests were put on one by one, and the mysterious black sword from the Yagyu Gym was held in his hand, and then the somewhat huge package was carried on his back. Finally, a reluctant big dog, Taro, was pulled out of the car.

"It's a primeval forest." ”

Du Ping threw his head and looked at the endless forest that seemed to be bottomless. It's early spring, but it's mountainous here. There is still a thin layer of snow hanging from many of the trees.

"Yes, I know. ”

Zuo Jing Right Guard, "It's too dangerous!"

Du Pingping's eyes were firm, "Danger will also go! This is my goal and a wish." I need an answer!"

As the days passed, the thoughts for Mimiko not only became stronger and stronger. At the same time, the more you know, the more questions you have in your mind. Mimiko treats herself, just for her own interests in advance, or is it true feelings?

Du felt he needed an answer. Otherwise, there seems to be a fire burning in his chest, and it is getting stronger and stronger.

After waving his hand to Zuo Jing and the right guard, Du Pingping carried the wrap on his back, pulled the dog leash, and slowly entered the forest firmly and step by step.

It wasn't until Du Ping disappeared completely that Zuo Jing and Right Wei sighed, sat back in the car, and slowly left.

In the room of the stray animal shelter that used to belong to Du Ping, Ye Zi, who has always claimed that he doesn't have too many places to kill dogs, stood in the room, looking through the books that Du Pingchang had read. A man dressed in black was standing respectfully beside her.

Ye Zi, "These are the books he mainly reads?"

Ye Zi pointed to the stack of books of different sizes on the conference table, and asked softly.

Man, "Yes, Leaf! These were the books he read the most, and he swept through most of the other books." ”

The leaf came to a picture frame and slowly pulled out a small miniature camera from it.

Ye Zi, "You said he never found out about these surveillance cameras you installed in advance?"

Man, "Yes, Leaf! never, not even to look this way." ”

Ye Zi said to himself, "Do you say this is true or fake? He's a young cowherd, so he can't be defenseless, right? He shouldn't be such a person, right?"

Ye Zi spoke, and the man only dared to bow to Jinli, not daring to move in the slightest.

At this time, the mobile phone belonging to Ye Zi rang, Ye Zi picked up the mobile phone and looked at the number first. And then it's officially connected. The voice of the report over there came quickly, which made Ye Zi's expression a little thoughtful.

Yezi, "He entered the Beiping Forest?"

Ye Zi picked out a book from the table, opened a few pages, and there was a story description about the search for clues to Qingqiu in the Beiping Forest. The leaf looked at it for a few minutes, then suddenly closed again.

Yezi, "Whatever! Just keep an eye on it." What's the use of thinking so much?"

Ye Zi smiled and looked deeply at the spirit dog outside the house, "Si'er, I finally found you! Why do you always hide quietly every time I get here? But it doesn't matter! I will wake you up from your slumber." Don't be in a hurry...... Don't rush...... , hee-hee...... Hee-hee......"

In another wooden room, which is entirely built in the style of ancient architecture, at a long table full of alcohol, several women in kimonos are playfully singing and dancing to cheer on a kimono woman performing a kabuki show in front of them. The door was pulled open from the outside, and a waitress in a short uniform knelt down to open the door, and trotted to the woman in the middle of the group, carefully reporting the latest information.

After listening to this, the woman in the main seat frowned slightly, and after closing the folding fan in her hand, she knocked on the table in the center a few times. Immediately, the music in the room stopped, and the woman who was performing Kabuki and the two musicians bowed together, walked briskly out of the room, and closed the door for everyone.

The woman in the main seat waited for the whole room to calm down, and pointed to the maid beside her with a folding fan in her hand.

Lady of the Lord's Throne, "Tell them what happened just now." ”

The waitress bowed, "Yes, Mistress!"

The waitress looked up at the women around her, "According to the latest news." Miss Miyako's lover, Du Ping, has reached the southern foot of the Beiping Forest.

The whispers among the women were as if a small flock of ducks had appeared in the room.

The main woman closed her eyes and waited patiently for more than ten minutes before turning her gaze to the first woman on her left.

Director Woman, "What do you think?"

The first on the left side bowed first, and then replied, "I don't think it matters if he reaches the southern foot of the Beiping Forest. In the past few hundred years, it is not one or two people who have found this Beiping Forest and found the southern foot of the Beibad Forest. I don't think we need to worry about anything. Just send someone to keep an eye on it. ”

"You say, will he find us?"

The first on the left sneered, "Something that no one has done for hundreds of years......"

"Just because no one has done it for hundreds of years doesn't mean that no one will ever do it." Let's stop Miyako's affairs first......"

The first on the right side was shocked, "Master Mother!"

The presiding woman, "What's the matter?"

First on the right, "This is something that has been decided a long time ago, and I am afraid that if it changes......"

The presiding woman, "Then change someone." ”

First on the right, "Ah......hhh

Lady of the Lord, "Nothing is the same. Since there is a situation here, let's change someone. ”

First on the right, "But ......"

The main woman, "There is nothing but! Everything in the Kazama family is for survival, it is like this now, and it will be like this in the future. ”

First on the left, "How about I send someone to kill that kid?"

The woman in charge suddenly laughed, "Our little Miyako has thought of this for a long time! This is a famous young detective in the country. Speaking of which, there is already a lot of debt owed to him, if we do such a thing. How many people do you think will be on the opposite side of us?"

First on the left, "But the glory of the Kazama family!"

The woman in the main seat looked at her, "The Kazama family has never had any glory, we are just a group of women who have lost their roots! Are your brains confused! Or are you stupid by those worldly gates?"

The first person on the left was lying on the ground, "I'm sorry! ”

The woman on the throne, "Go to the ancestral temple and kneel for a day! As the most important deacon in the family, you would have such terrible thoughts." Be vigilant!"

The first deep on the left lay on the ground, motionless, "Yes, master!"

At the southern foot of the Ping Forest in the north, Du Ping walked in the primeval forest with a deep foot and a shallow foot. Cold, tired, hungry, helpless...... , all shrouded in it. It even made Du Ping deeply regret his choice of this decision and whether this path was correct.

The talisman around his neck was pulled out from the depths of his clothes, carrying a body that belonged to Du Fair.

Rubbing this talisman, Miyako's figure slowly became clear in front of her. Du Ping slowly became firm again.

I'll definitely find you!

Du Pingping's heavy step valve became firm again, and he walked forward step by step. With a machete in his hand, Du Ping continued to cut the passage between the trees and the dense vines.

The watch on his wrist showed that Du Ping had been in the tree for a full five hours. Du Ping has been on the road and has never rested for a while. The sky under the canopy of trees has begun to darken. Du Ping had to find a campsite for himself, and this is not a city. There are also wild animals such as black bears, wild wolves, and leopards, which can be very dangerous.

Taro, who was not far away, roared. Du Pingping hurried over. It was a small patch of green tree vines, in front of a small pile of animal feces the size of a black thumb and thick, and Taro was barking vigorously.

Du Fair came to Taro's side and stopped his screaming. Come to the front of this pile of animal dung and carefully separate. Pick one of them with a twig, which is a viscous mixture with little residue of plant food. That is, it is a mark left by a carnivorous or staple meat-eating guy. Du Ping found the undigested bones and hairs from it, and confirmed his judgment.

Du Pingping thinks that this should belong to the feces of a bear, and the time should not exceed 1 hour.

This is a red flag, and it is likely that Du Ping has entered the area where a forest bear is active. A deep danger seems to be seeping through the skin to the inside of the body. Du Ping's whole body shivered.

Looking up at the sky, it was already rapidly getting dark. According to the book, the dark sky in the forest always comes earlier than in the city. And in such an environment full of dangerous wildlife, Du Ping must camp as soon as possible and light a fire for himself that can drive away curious wildlife. and use the fire to make food for yourself, heat water, and warm your body. It's early spring, but the nights here are still very cold.

This is the forest. Countless books describe beautiful, mysterious, and vibrant places, but in fact, all you feel is loneliness, wildness, swelling, and barrenness.

Du Ping chose the angle between a crooked tree and another tree as his first night campsite. Once you have collected enough wood and set it on fire with your own lighter and fuel, the darkness of the forest has arrived. The world seems to be sucking in deep loneliness and darkness. Du Pingping used the aluminum lunch box he brought with him to slowly cook the raw rice he carried with him, and then sprinkled it with salt grains. This is the food for a day's work. Taro's food was two small bags of dog food on his back, and Du Fair opened the dog food bag and grabbed a handful for it and put it on the ground.

The damp wood crackled and crackled, and the darkness of the forest was always filled with the sounds of all sorts of strange animals. It was in this environment that Du Pingping lay in his sleeping bag and slowly fell asleep next to Taro.

The kendo hall inside Kuroda Ei High School in Chiba City is still lit up due to the lighting, although the time has reached 7-8 p.m.

The Dongliuqiu National High School Kendo Competition has entered the four regions of Northern, Kanto, Chugoku and Kansai, with 12 teams in each district, and the top 3 will eventually be selected to represent each district to participate in the national kendo competition. Today is Aiko Imamiya led the Tachibana High School Kendo Club to play the 4th away regional match here, and in the previous 3 matches, Tachibana High School has won three consecutive victories. But today, Rikkō High School will have to face Kuroda Ei High School, a famous traditional kendo school. Kuroda High School has won the national kendo championship for high school students four times and is a formidable opponent. Kuroda Wei High School is even more equipped with young kendo geniuses such as Masashi Omura and Wicker Hozhao. Before the competition, it was widely regarded as the most likely team to defend the title of this national high school kendo competition.

At eight o'clock, representatives of the organizers of the competition, principals and instructors of the two schools gathered all the contestants. Then the representatives of the organizers of the competition announced the start of the competition.

This is an away challenge, so there are very few supporters from Tachibana High School, only one or two dozen cheerleader-like Tachibana High School students. But there were a lot of supporters who belonged to Kuroda Ei High School, and not only the entire kendo hall was crowded with more than a hundred crazy supporters, but even hundreds of men and women surrounded the stadium to support them.

Kuroda ...... Victory!"

Kuroda ...... Victory!"

……

The supporters of Kuroda in the kendo hall were relatively good, but the supporters outside the arena had already been under the command of several organizers, constantly chanting and jumping in unison, making a roaring earthquake vibration.

Tachibana Tachibana Tachibana's former lieutenant general, Miki Yuji, the current third general, quietly came to the current lieutenant general Hanada Tsuichi and whispered, "It's terrifying! ”

Hanada Goichi didn't answer, but behind Miki Yuji was already ringing the voice of the current head of the Tachibana High School Kendo Club, Tomorrow Hana Ruxue, that is, Aiko Imamiya.

Aiko Imamiya's voice was cold and cruel, "If you dare to lose on the field later, I will be kind enough to train for you later." ”

Aiko Imamiya's vocabulary of "plus practice" made Miki Yuji, Hanada Goichi, and the other side of the battle will make Keizo Ikeda shiver synchronously, and the strong sense of pressure on Kuroda's arena was immediately surrounded by Imamiya Aiko's deep fear.

Miki Yuji, "I...... I...... I ......"

Aiko Imamiya smiled cruelly, "You don't have confidence?"

Yuji Miki was immediately firm and courageous, "No problem!

Aiko Imamiya's voice was flat, "I don't care if you work hard or not, I just need to win!"

Miki Yuji, "Yes, I'll win!"

At this moment, Hanada Gangyi's whole body burst out with incomparable momentum.

Aiko Imamiya turned her gaze to Hanada Goichi next to her, and Hanada Goichi immediately broke out in a cold sweat all over her body.

Aiko Imamiya, "What about you?"

Hanada Tsuyoichi is magnificent, "There is me without him!

The instructor of Tachibana High School has already come to the front of the team members, "Which of you will go first!"

Aiko Imamiya didn't speak, picked up her training wooden sword, buckled her kendo helmet, and walked step by step to the wooden field used for the competition.

Dressed in a fiery red battle robe and heavily protected by black armor, armor, and bracers, Aiko Imamiya slowly walked into the battle circle with a sword in both hands like a dark beast, motionless. It's as if a dark dragon is waiting to bite its prey.
