Chapter 695: Strange Forest
Before, he always felt that the H3 virus and the ancient gods were not directly related, and he couldn't determine the relationship between the two.
But now there is finally one that can be pulled together! The ancient gods are about to recover, causing the insects sealed all over Japan to wake up from their slumber.
Now the search for the Ancient God Seal is at a bottleneck, and it is at a loss. The death of Maeda Shixiang made Lin Nan realize that this was an entry point, and it was very likely that he would follow a line and successfully touch the ancient gods!
"Damn, why didn't you say it earlier. Lin Nan said in distress, and he continued: "Wellguchi, can you find a way to get Maeda's body?" ”
Mt. Iguchi and Uekawa looked at each other. They didn't know what Lin Nan had discovered, but looking at Lin Nan's excited expression, it was estimated that the situation had progressed.
"I'm sorry, there are only three cases of the death of the 3 viruses, each of which is important research material, which is under the key protection of Japan, and only insiders can have access to it. The capacity of wellhead finance has not yet reached this point. Jingkoushan said ashamedly.
Lin Nan's eyebrows furrowed. He looked at the photo and pointed to the black background: "Where is the location of this forest? Take me there, there may be some remnants there." ”
…
In Area C, there is a dense forest in the southern part of the city, and the Mercedes-Benz is parked outside, and the three people get out of the car.
"That's it?"
Lin Nan looked at this forest intently - mostly cedar and red maple, which is nothing special, it is very common in Japan. But he always felt that something was wrong, although Lin Nan had a strange metaphor in his heart, but he had to say that these cedars and red maples were like a person with godless eyes standing in the soil.
Normal trees should be vibrant, especially cedars, which are resistant to cold and high temperatures, and should be very vigorous in winter.
Lin Nan frowned and walked over and touched the trunk of the cedar with his fingers. After touching it, it has a dry and brittle feeling, and when you flick it gently, the bark falls off, as if it is a perennial drought.
But this is not true, Kanagawa Prefecture is close to the sea and has a humid climate, which is an ideal place to grow cedars, and there was a light rain a few days ago. Even so, the soil around the trees is dry.
Lin Nan was secretly vigilant, Maeda Zhixiang was the one who was killed in this forest, and he also died here, is it not a coincidence?
What attracted him to the woods?
Taking out the disc magic weapon, Lin Nan wanted to see if the pointer responded.
The other two also realized that something was wrong, Jingguchishan and Kamikawa Takashi were both human spirits, and they said in unison: "There is something wrong with these cedars." ”
When Lin Nan took out the magic weapon, they all looked at it expectantly.
Nothing happened. The hands lay quietly, as if asleep.
Lin Nan was slightly regretful, but then relieved. 'The ancient gods were born from water', this is the prophecy given by Zhuang Lao.
Although Lin Nan didn't know where Zhuang Lao was sacred, whether it was General Shi or Zhou, they all respected the old man, and he was also a monk.
Perhaps Jingkoushan sensed Lin Nan's doubts, and said: "Since my grandparents' generation, this was a forest, and there was no water source at all. ”
"Oh yes, it used to be a small lake in the middle of the forest, not a big one, but in the early years there was a drought, and it was gone, and the ground was sunken in. Later, the Z government of Kanagawa Prefecture funded the construction of a prayer temple there. ”
Kamikawa Yu pursed his lips: "Then near the Temple of Blessing, six college students were killed. ”
Jingkoushan shrugged his shoulders and was noncommittal, originally this thing was superstition, for psychological comfort. However, since this terrible murder, no one will come to the temple to pray for blessings.
"Let's go, keep looking inside. Lin Nan said.
About 500 meters ahead, they saw a long yellow cordon. If nothing else, it is the place where six college students died.
Lin Nan closed his eyes and sensed it, not far away, there was a person patrolling, it should be a policeman, he couldn't see it because of the dense forest, but it was actually very close.
They also discovered this in Jingkou Mountain, and in the end, the three of them sped up their bodies and jumped on the big tree to cross the cordon.
"Over there, it smells of blood. Lin Nan sniffed his nose and said, "The smell is very light, it should be left by those college students." ”
They were jumping around in the trees like ninjas, and Iguchiyama couldn't help but be surprised: "It's been a few days, and you can still smell it?"
Lin Nan didn't answer, he took the two of them forward another hundred meters and jumped into a clearing.
Here, some traces of a fight can be faintly seen, and the six college students must have struggled before they died.
But it's a pity that Maeda, who fell into madness, has the strength of a small consummation and easily catches six prey.
On the grass, there are still several traces of shovels being shoveled, presumably by the police collecting nearby blood for evidence. As for the rest of the surroundings, there is a large tree next to it, and the trunk has a recessed part.
Lin Nan touched it with his hand, and his head probably restored the scene at that time. There was a college student who failed to escape, and was grabbed by Maeda, who was angry, grabbed the college student's head, and slammed it into a tree. The force was very strong, and the skull of the college student was shattered on the spot, and the direct death was the evidence of splattered blood stains on the trees.
The three of them are concentrating on investigating the scene, hoping to find clues to the ancient gods.
At this time, a 'huh' sound attracted Lin Nan's attention, and he turned his head to see that Kamikawa Xiong was squatting on the ground, poking the soil with his hand in confusion.
"What's wrong?" Lin Nan and Jingkoushan both walked over.
"You stand at this angle and compare the scene around you with the photo of Maeda Shigo at the time of his death. ”
Uekawa took out his phone and pulled out a picture of Maeda's death.
Lin Nan suddenly raised his eyebrows.
If you look closely, the grass around here has deep ravines that have been grabbed by both hands, and there are traces of people lying down and kicking the ground with their feet. Because Maeda Shigo has the power of small perfection, he pedaled twice, and it was like plowing the ground, making several ditches.
Lin Nan is sure that this place is exactly the same as in the photos!
In other words, Maeda Shigo killed someone here - and then escaped from prison - and then returned to this place and died here!
This made him feel strange and unreasonable.
Why did Maeda Shigo come back to remember the deceased? I'm afraid it's unlikely, he is already insane.
Lin Nan fell into deep thought, but it was a pity that there was no blood of Maeda Shixiang at the scene, otherwise he could use his divine sense to investigate if there was anything abnormal.
A light suddenly crossed Lin Nan's mind, and he had a bold guess in his heart: if Maeda Shixiang was really manipulated by the worm, and the worm's awakening was also because of the ancient gods...
Therefore, Maeda, as a puppet, did not hesitate to escape from prison to come to this forest, does it mean that this is the sealing place?
Lin Nan eagerly took out the disc magic weapon and looked at it.
His brow furrowed again. The pointer still doesn't move!
After all, there is no water around, and the soil is very dry.
