Chapter 314: The Grotesque: The Three-Eyed Well (Part I)
The lost traveler was wandering through the forest, desperate for water and light, and the forest was as intricate as a labyrinth of hell, and it was a miracle that he had walked in it for three days, and that he did not die
"Oooh oh!!" With a roar of excitement coming out of his mouth, light in front of him, and the sweetness of water spreading in the air, he could be saved! This must be God's hope!
"Snoring~" Gulping down the water of the spring without grace, the sweet and smooth feeling continued to flow from his throat into his heart, and he took out the container while reciting Mass in his heart, and couldn't wait to fill it with water
"Huh?" When I looked up, I realized that there was no water in the spring, and I drank so much?
"Wait, there's a well ahead," said the traveler, as he walked forward, three moss-covered wells lined up side by side, and the water dripping as if it were about to overflow
"This is" When he rolled up his sleeves and was about to fill the water, he suddenly saw an incredible scene from the water, and his childhood face was looking at him curiously from the water
"What's the matter?" he stretched out his hand and stirred it into the water, and his face immediately blurred
Walking towards the second well on the right, I was now smiling at my face
"I hesitate to know whether to go to the third well, one is the past, the other is the present, and the other is not my future? What does your future look like?
"Fight" he emboldened himself and strode towards the third well, and the water reflected his old face, but the expression was weeping
Instinctively, he sensed something was wrong, and he hurried back
"Your wish has come true, Traveler," a dull female voice came from the well, "Now it's your turn to grant my wish."
"Don't !!!" The next moment the screams spread through the depths of the forest, and then the next life was declared to be over
―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――― modern dividing line
May 19, 8 a.m
"Surveying the terrain?" Chong asked as he looked at the lady officer in front of him who was wearing a military uniform and a delicate figure in boots
"Yes! Sergeant Sergeant Major of the Fifth Squad of the Seventh Army of the Army Corps greets the commander! The woman gave a standard military salute
"Don't salute me for a while" I want to emphasize here that this is not a military salute performed out of my status as an overseer, and I have not been admitted to a militarized school? Own files. As soon as the case was backed up, he already had an additional military rank as a non-commissioned officer, which is a subsidy that every student will have, but the difference is that he is officially inducted, and everyone else is an intern, so no one knows
"Watch the door," Chong said to the half-crouched hound
"Boss, don't worry, I treat everything below the Demon King level as a snack" The new tenant is obviously very good-looking, eats little and is very dedicated, at least Shizaki Kurumi has been arguing for more than a day to pay for his pants
"Okay, let's go" Chong said to her after closing the door, today this neighborhood is going to undergo another transformation, it is said that a few woods will be cut down to build an underground warehouse, but because this neighborhood is covered by itself, so the top will send a professional-level army to do a topographic survey first
In fact, it was actually because I had buried a lot of chemicals and explosives here before, and the engineering team would rather die than come over to die first, what were I afraid of, and I was not a bad person who grew mushrooms, and those things were at most half of my body when I stepped on them, of course, I would not reimburse the medical expenses (indifferent face)
"Rough engineering drawings are not there," Chong said, holding out his hand
"No, no! Report sir! I came here alone this time, and the drawings have already been written down! She hurriedly gave another military salute: "Please rest assured! You can't go wrong! ”
"Hmm" Why are you so scared, I am quite popular with the elderly, and besides, I have never been in office, even if there are rumors, it will not make the army group of crazy people afraid
"Ahhh......h So nervous" she suddenly took a deep breath, and the murder weapon on her chest shook twice, here is one more thing, the air force of Japan's army, navy and air force is the most unpopular, because the air force has almost not seen a person get off the plane for three days, when the ship mother plan was first implemented, everyone felt that the air force was actually the most suitable for the transformation plan of the machine girl, because they were about to fall in love with the plane, followed by the navy, but the navy is mainly a non-commissioned officer school is more popular, because the girls inside are wearing sailor suits, and finally the men's favorite army, Because the army's women's uniforms will not be issued with underwear (speechless face), so now the Japanese Navy and Air Force will be beaten by Britain and France, all because of this! What is called "Our army can fight three with one!" "The Great Heavenly Dynasty is lightly armed and hits ten! Dare to love on land to see how much you wear to divide the combat power?! Then you go to find the forest fairy and the Hokuto volleyball team!
"How" Chong casually asked, worried about whether the project would be blocked
"Sir, you're even more handsome than rumored," and so on, as if he instinctively felt that something was wrong
"You're pretty red-faced"
"Sorry, sorry! But sir, you're just that," she said with a squirming expression
"How many people in the army see me the same way you do?"
"Report sir! There were 298 out of 300 people! ”
"Hey, what's going on with the other two," I didn't know I was so famous in the military department, and I really didn't have much to do with them except that I wouldn't go to them to steal some firearms
"Died in an accident" dare to love that your team is all wonderful?!
The question "For what purpose did you know me?" must be asked
"Because I've heard that the commander has been deflated under you, and I think it's amazing," she replied very seriously, girl, you have a clear mind!! Who is the commander of the War Department? It's my titular uncle, bastard! Besides, he was three years old when I met him! When I was three years old, I accidentally burned a few of his beards with a lighter!! How is it possible to let him eat deflated! On the front, I won't be put down if I don't use him for a minute, okay!
"It's here," so Chong arrived at his destination in silence and endured her gaze
"Well, that's it, that's right," she nodded after thinking about it, "The order above is to cut down all the grass and trees in the center of the forest for about three hundred meters, and the rest will remain in their original positions."
"Understood," Chong nodded, and walked into the grove
"By the way, sir, have you heard any rumors about this forest?" She asked suddenly
"The unicorn one?"
"It seems that it came because the military department didn't believe in this, so no one said it, and I only knew that there was a rumor in this forest."
"There's no need to write it down, rumors are rumors after all, and when you meet, say, "What will be in this small forest?" Roughly what can appear in a place of more than 500 meters, even if there is an engineering team to arrive, they will not escape or die, and they will not live long, and at that time, it would be wrong to describe this place as a forest, but because almost no one usually passes by, no one will change the name
"Huh? How can there be a well in this place? I haven't seen it from a satellite," she said in surprise when she saw three ancient wells in the middle of the forest, "how can you start work like this?"
"Tell them to change places"
"There is no place to start work, and there are more than a dozen places in the military headquarters to draw lots, and the lots have already been taken, so the lieutenant general clearly emphasized that this place cannot be allowed to die," she said seriously, "Several other armies have already sent people over to make major changes."
"Then we can only let the water vein be diverted" Japan's army command system is extremely strange, except for the commander who has the right to move freely, the remaining eleven troops are all single-person commands, before the start of the war, there must be a tearing meeting, more than a dozen "commanders" in front of the conference table in front of the referee slapped the table and shouted angrily, saliva foam and paper documents flew around, usually nothing to do like to play lots, this is the same nature as the meeting of the six departments of the Great Celestial Empire, not to mention anything else, that is, there are many people, where there are people, there is forced tearing, and all matters are given priority but this, Anyway, we seem to be off topic, come back......
"Well, let's blow up the well first," she said, turning away, and pulling out two pieces of dirt from the hem of her uniform. Explode. "I laughed, but in order not to blow up the leyline, the military department only gave a few retro weapons"
"Bang!" Then she saw that Chong had thrown a grenade into the well
"It's okay, let's talk about it after it's blown up" is one of the famous ten quotes in the academy city, during the Far East War, when they were still discussing the military plan, they had silently bombed the three strongholds of the United States, and since then they have been pursuing the tradition of meeting and throwing bombs, so many people like to fight with them landlords (indifferent face)
"After the smoke cleared, the three wells still stood still, which is strange
"Something unclean, sir, please allow me to go over and take a look!" She said after giving a military salute
"Allow" let her take a look, even if there is a water ghost himself, he can save it
"Ahhh!!hhh As soon as she poked into a well, she screamed loudly
“!” Without saying a word, he rushed over to push her away, and then reached inside and grabbed the water, who is this bespectacled girl on the water?
"Ahhh!!hhh Sir, please don't look at !! She covered her face and looked afraid to see anyone, "I know it was ugly when I was a child"
"Silently took out his hand, the eighteenth change of the female college is really not wrong, and how old are you this year, I can go back and tell Kyosuke Takasaka to call him and wait, his childhood sweetheart may be very marketable in the future."
"Ahem, there's nothing wrong with the second well," she hesitated for a moment, then crossed the middle well, then looked down at the one on the left, where she should have been reflected in the water
"So this one"
"Wait" stretched out his hand to stop her, and when he reached in just now, he also saw his appearance when he was young, one was the past, the other was the present, and the other was probably not the future, but his own death
Silently, he glanced at the well in the middle, and sure enough, he was what he was now
"There are two people who just remember that I didn't come back before nightfall and ordered someone to block the well" Chong glanced at her, "This is an order"
After she nodded hesitantly, Chong walked to the third well, but it did not show her old age, but her current appearance
(Is this to show that you will not grow old one day) and look directly at yourself in the water
"Your wish has not been fulfilled Eternal boy, then let me help you," suddenly came a girl's voice in a mournful tone from the well, and then the water in the well suddenly swelled up and swallowed Chong in the water column
"I see, sir," she nodded as she looked at the empty space, she would be here until evening
"But I'll only wait until the evening," she said, looking at the well, a smile on the corner of her mouth.
