After a few days of hard work, Chiba Seiichi and his wife Chiba Tamako were finally about to arrive at the broken bridge where the white mist swallowed people.

At first, in order to avoid the roadblocks, the couple had to find another way to get close to the stone bridge, but the couple spent several days searching all the surrounding places and found no other road to the stone bridge.

This result almost made the husband and wife have the idea of giving up, but fortunately, the sky is endless, and after some inquiry, the husband and wife finally heard from a local person that a hidden river can go backwards to the stone bridge.

The couple was overjoyed by the news, but the waterway could only be passed on the night of the 15th of each month.

In order to be able to go to the stone bridge to investigate, the couple camped in the wild for several days, and finally set off on the 15th of the month, when the water slowed down.

Although it was dangerous to go up the river, and the husband and wife scraped various small injuries along the way, but fortunately, the two finally came over safely.

"That stone bridge should be in front, Yuzi, let's hurry up and take a look, I don't know if the two of us will also encounter the white fog this time, if our husband and wife can discover the secret of this white fog, then our husband and wife will definitely leave a reputation in the history of world geology." ”

"After all, this kind of geographical environment that can devour living people and disappear living creatures is really special, and I believe that the two of us will definitely use science to solve this mystery. ”

Speaking of which, Chiba Kiyoi looked at his wife Chiba Tamako beside him with a confident face.

"Tamako believes that her husband can definitely do it, let's work together. ”

When he was less than five hundred meters away from the broken stone bridge, Chi Shang Zhenyi saw through his spiritual exploration that two men and women wearing overalls and carrying large packages appeared in his mental power coverage, and at the same time, the sound of the other party's clear conversation also came into his ears.

Through the sound of the other party's conversation and the other party's facial features, Chi Shang Zhenyi can already determine that these two people should be Xizi's parents, that is, his pedantic father-in-law Chiba Qingyi and mother-in-law Chiba Yuzi.

After seeing Xizi's parents appear, Chi Shang's heart became even more nervous, because he knew that the vicinity of the broken bridge was not a peaceful place. There's a real demon lurking here.

Now that Xizi's parents are about to approach the broken stone bridge a hundred meters, if Xizi's parents continue to approach the broken stone bridge, Chi Shang really believes that the demon will definitely devour the two of them.

If something happens to Xizi's parents, Chi Shang Zhenyi really doesn't know how to face Xizi when he goes back. So the most important thing for him now is to stop these two scientific explorers immediately, let the two of them stay where they are, and wait for him to deal with the hidden demon, and then talk about these two people to take them away, which is the best choice.

Feel the distance. Chi Shang Zhenyi found that at this distance, if he shouted to Xizi's parents, the other party would be able to hear it, so he decided to immediately use his spiritual power to remind the two.

The appearance of the broken bridge has been vaguely seen, Chiba Qingyi and Chiba Tamako suddenly became even more temperamental, the two of them have suffered a lot to come here, and now they are finally at their destination.

"Stop, you are not allowed to go any further, for if you go forward, something will happen to you. ”

A warning voice suddenly appeared in the minds of Chiba Seiichi and Chiba Tamako, which made the excitement that had just risen between the husband and wife seem to be poured on their heads by a basin of cold water.

This sudden voice in their minds made the couple look around in fright, trying to find the source of the sound as soon as possible. But what made the couple feel terrible was that they didn't see anyone around, only dense grass and low bushes, but not a single living person.

"Who, whoever speaks, quick, come out quickly. ”

Although he was very scared in his heart, Chiba Qingichi, who was a man, still trembled and stepped forward and shouted nervously to the surrounding open space.

Chiba Kiyoichi didn't know what was talking to the couple just now, and the voice could appear directly in his head, which made him a little confused whether it was a sound or not. It's so weird that it doesn't look like a human being at all.

However, since the other party reminded them of it, Chiba Qingyi thought that the other party would not harm them, and it was precisely because of this. He would have the courage to shout around.

On the other side of the river, Chi Shang Zhenyi watched the performance of Xizi's father through his spiritual power, and felt that the other party was still a little responsible, which made him have some good feelings about the future pedant.

"No need to look for it, I'm not with you, I'm on the other side of the river. ”

The couple, who were looking around, heard the words in their minds again and immediately looked across the river in the distance. When the two of them tried their best to see, they found a small figure approaching the river on the opposite bank.

Probably wanting to see it more clearly, Chiba Kiyoichi and Chiba Tamako actually walked a few steps forward tremblingly, but before the two of them could go far, they heard each other's voices in their heads again.

"Stop, don't go any further, it's already dangerous ahead, don't go near the broken bridge anymore. ”

Another warning made Chiba Kiyoichi and Chiba Tamako obediently stop, and then Chiba Kiyoichi said to the figure on the other side of the river in a curious tone: "Hello, down is Chiba Kiyoichi, the director of the Geological Exploration Institute of Ihara City, Okayama County, and this is my wife Chiba Tamako next to me." ”

Saying that, Chiba Kiyoichi stretched out his left hand and introduced Chiba Tamako, and then the two bowed to the other side of the river and said, "Please take care of us when we meet for the first time." ”

After asking, Chiba Kiyoichi immediately said into the air: "I haven't asked your Excellency for your name yet, but I want to take the liberty of asking the next question, may I ask if the communication technology you just used was obtained from aliens?"

"Although Chiba is only a geological prospector who studies geology, he usually likes to read some international scientific magazines, so he has some knowledge of some advanced scientific knowledge in the world. ”

Speaking of this, Chiba Seiichi continued in an excited tone as if he had discovered a new continent: "According to the following inference, there is currently no country in the world that can possess this kind of state-of-the-art communication technology that transcends the times and transmits sound into the brain. ”

"So I made a bold guess in my heart that the technology you just used to transmit sound into the brain was obtained from aliens. ”

Speaking of this, Chiba Qingyi put a gossip look on his face and asked into the air: "May I ask you what those aliens look like, are they tall or short, fat or thin, are they extraterrestrial carbohydrate life like us earth humans?"

"And where did you see the aliens, are they here, or is the white fog devouring people a while ago dominated by aliens, are they inviting us earthlings to talk?"

Speaking of which, Chiba Kiyoichi seemed to have believed in his reasoning, and discussed it with his wife Chiba Tamako next to him with some excitement. Soon, the husband and wife completely entered into the scientific debate, and the topic of the dispute was actually what purpose the aliens came to the earth, and whether the other party's visit to the earth was hostile, and the husband and wife refuted each other with their own opinions.

On the other side of the river, Chi Shang Zhenyi was on guard against the demon that had not appeared. While reminding Xizi's parents to pay attention, he didn't expect that the thinking of these two people really made him feel a little uncomfortable, and it was even more difficult to communicate than the four two-dimensional wives in the family.

Especially Chi Shang Zhenyi's pedantic father-in-law, Chiba Qingichi, has such a developed brain, he is not allowed to speak at all. He quickly regarded his spiritual transmission as an alien advanced technology.

What made Chi Shang even more speechless was that this pedantic old man actually scientifically demonstrated with him that this technology was the basis for aliens.

In the end, he directly decided that Ji Shangzhen had an opinion on aliens, and now he directly threw him aside, and began to debate with his wife about the intentions of aliens, and the two discussed quite fiercely.

The actions of this couple really made Ji Shang Zhenyi not know what to say, and he didn't know how to describe this unreliable couple.

"No, I think that since the aliens came to our earth secretly and stealthily this time, their intentions are worth scrutinizing. ”

"It is very likely that the other side is carefully observing the progress of human civilization on our earth, and they are planning to colonize us in the future. ”

"It's like when the Europeans first landed in Africa, quietly finding out the details of the black people and starting to kill the killers. So I analyzed that those aliens came to our earth this time with evil thoughts, and the other party will definitely not be a good person. ”

Chiba Kiyoi talked to his wife Chiba Tamako with a serious face, trying to get his wife to agree with his words.

However, Chiba Kiyoichi's words obviously didn't move Chiba Tamako, because after he just finished his analysis, Chiba Tamako opened her mouth and retorted: "I don't think those aliens came to our earth with hostility, I think they are very likely to be a scientific expedition team or a spaceship that came to our earth out of control, which I deduced from the human who mastered alien technology just now." ”

"Because I suspect that the last time the white fog devoured people near the stone bridge, it must have been the aliens who took those people into the hidden spaceship and asked these people to help them communicate with the outside world, otherwise they wouldn't have taught the person on the other side of the river such advanced communication technology. ”

"And the other party just reminded the two of us when we just wanted to move forward. They didn't do anything to hurt us, and I deduced that these aliens should have good intentions towards us earthlings, at least the other party has good intentions now. ”

Chi Shang Zhenyi couldn't bear it anymore for the couple with a jumping brain. He felt that if he didn't interrupt the other party, the couple would be able to keep arguing, and he didn't know when it would end, and he felt that he had to stop such an unreliable couple.

"Can you listen to me, both?"

Chiba Kiyoichi didn't expect that his concept had just been finished. His wife said more to refute him, which made him want to dismiss his wife immediately, after all, this battle of ideas is regardless of family affection.

It's just that before Chiba Kiyoshi could speak, he heard the voice just now appear in his mind again, but he felt that the other party's tone seemed to be a little wrong.

Although he felt a little uncomfortable being interrupted from the debate, Chiba Seiichi decided to listen to what this earthling, who had seen aliens, had to say first, and after the other party finished speaking, he was not too late to debate with his wife.

Chi Shang Zhenyi didn't know Chiba Qingyi's strange thoughts, but now that he saw that the two of them had finally stopped, he hurriedly said in a spiritual voice: "There is no need to continue the debate between the two of you just now, because there are no aliens here." ”

When Chi Shang really said that there were no aliens, he saw that the pedant old man on the other side had the meaning of opening his mouth, and he was frightened, and he hurriedly continued: "The sound transmission I told you about, this is not some advanced technology, this is a spell, and you don't know what a spell is. But you just need to know that I am an onmyoji, and the methods of the onmyoji cannot be explained by science. ”

Speaking of this, Chi Shang Zhenyi looked at the couple opposite with a blank expression, as if he understood, but he didn't understand, but none of this mattered. All he had to do now was pour the information into the other person's head.

"In Shimoike Shang Zhenyi, this time I came to be entrusted by Miss Shioko, and I came to look for the two, who have been missing for more than a week, because Miss Shioko has not known the information of the two outside. So I'm in a hurry. ”

Hearing that the onmyoji on the other side of the river who claimed to be Chi Shang's true intentions, saying that he was entrusted by his daughter to find the two of them, both Chiba and his wife thought of their daughter Shiko, and the two thought that it seemed really inappropriate that they hadn't written to their daughter for so long.

"Well, that, thank you so much Ji Shangjun, it's all our husband and wife's fault, I forgot to write to my daughter. ”

"But we're here to explore the special geography of this place, and we need to find out why twenty-five people are missing here for no reason, even if those people weren't taken by aliens. It could also be swallowed up by the earth or some other reason, and we are here for the truth. ”

Looking at Chiba Qingyi's slightly embarrassed look, Chi Shang really knew that the couple had indeed forgotten their daughter who went to a girls' school, but now these things didn't matter, as long as the two of them were okay.

"Let's go back as soon as possible, the things here are not something that ordinary people like the two of you can study, if there is no way out, you can live in the village over there for the time being, and wait for me to subdue the demons here." ”

Chi Shang Zhenyi didn't expect that his words not only did not make Xizi's parents on the other side retreat, but made the two more interested.

After listening to Chi Shang's words. Chiba Kiyoichi immediately hurriedly asked, "You said you want to slay demons? Do you mean that there are monsters here?" Is it the kind of monsters in our myths and legends?"

The pedantic old man asked a series of questions that made Chi Shang Zhenyi's head a little big, he didn't expect this future old man to be so studious and easy to ask, although it was not the right time, but since the other party asked. If he didn't give an answer, he could guess that the couple would definitely not be honest and stable.

"I'm really going to subdue the demon for a while, there must be a demon hidden around here, it's the kind of monster in mythology!"

Hearing Chi Shang's sincere answer, Chiba Qingyi turned his head to his wife Chiba Tamako with an excited expression: "Tamako, we really came to the right place this time." I didn't expect to be able to meet monsters here, this is more valuable than aliens, we must pay close attention to it for a while, we can't miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. ”

"Don't worry, husband, Tamako will definitely record the appearance of the monster for a while, and she will not miss the key place. ”

Chi Shang Zhenyi looked at the completely unreliable Xizi's parents opposite, and after the discussion, the two of them did it on the spot, holding a pen and Ben in their hands and staring at the other side of the river seriously.

What made Chi Shang really unhappy the most was that the pedantic old man actually said to him, 'Chi Shangjun, we are ready, you can subdue the demon, we will definitely faithfully record the physical characteristics of the monster!'

With such thunderous words, Ji Shang Zhenyi didn't know what to say, and could only respond to the other party with a cough.

"Ahem, cough, cough"

A cough came from Chi Shang's mouth, and then he used his spiritual power to say to the unreliable couple on the other side of the river: "You two may not understand what Zai Xia meant, I want you to go back to the village, it will be unsafe here for a while, so I want you to let you go to the village to take shelter for a while." ”

The Chiba couple, who were kneeling on the ground with a notebook, heard Chi Shang's true words, and the two were obviously stunned for a moment, and finally Chiba Kiyoichi spoke: "Eh, that, Chi Shangjun, is the village you are talking about the village behind us?" But there is no one in that village anymore, no one is left. ”

Chiba Qingyi's words made Chi Shang Zhenyi's heart immediately shock, as if he felt that something had been thought, but in order to confirm the conjecture in his heart, he asked his pedantic father-in-law again: "Did you say that there was no one in the village you passed behind you?"

Although Chiba Qingyi, who was kneeling, couldn't see the appearance of Ji Shangjun opposite, he could also tell the urgency in the other party's tone based on his voice, so he immediately replied: "Yes, there was no one in the village when we came. ”

"Yuzi and I even pushed the door into a few houses, and found that the furnishings in the house were normal, and there was not much dust in it, but I just didn't know where the owner went, in short, the village was very strange. (To be continued.) )
