January 15, 8 a.m

"Ahem...... barely bothered himself before opening his eyes, reversing the order to the surprise of those sitting next to him

"What time is it......" he said in a somewhat hoarse voice, and then he coughed a few times to make it clear, "What time is it?" ”

"At eight o'clock in the morning, you can rest again," Mengmeng picked up the towel that had fallen because she got up

"When did the rain stop... Ahem, ahem! "You can't raise your voice anyway, you have a cold?

"Thanks to you being so energetic, you almost died in the rain when we woke up" Mengmeng said a little helplessly, "Anyway, I barely helped you lower the temperature to about 38 degrees, but it should be nothing to see you like this"

"I'm asking when the rain will stop...", he put his hand in his pocket and took out the medicine jar, and then unscrewed the cap of the bottle and swallowed one of the pills, which barely dropped to about 38 degrees, so it seems that yesterday's high fever was indeed unimaginably serious

"At two o'clock in the morning? We were so busy rescuing you that we didn't pay attention to anything," Mengmeng thought for a moment and replied, "Do you care about this?" ”

"January 12th..."Chong's body has improved a lot after a pill, of course, he doesn't care about what the things inside have deteriorated and become

"It's a magical pill," Mengmeng looked at Chong's pocket with some curiosity, "What's the other bottle?" ”

"Something you won't use for the rest of your life..."Chong straightened his collar and stood up, "I'm sorry for you, anyway, what are your plans now?"

"Go to the shrine" This answer made Chong can't help but jump his eyebrows, "That's what the teacher said"

"Is it..."Chongya could only reply like this, "I understand"

"Everyone, he's awake," Mengmeng, who thought Chong's attitude was a little strange, didn't think much about it, but opened the door of the tent and said to the people who were preparing breakfast outside

"Huh?! Is the body fine! Taking this as an opportunity, everyone outside the tent rushed in, and oh my God, this tent is a limited version for three people

"Ahh Sorry for the trouble," Chong waved his hand and directly blocked everyone's concerns, "If you want to continue the journey, you can do it now"

"It's just that I don't want to go to the shrine.、That's all"

"Isn't the minister's mother a shrine maiden?" Rika Furute said with a little confusion, "Don't you like the shrine?" ”

“…… No, that's not the reason" It's enough for Chong to lie and say "hate", but for some reason he didn't say that, there is always something about a person who doesn't want to lie

"But we also went to the shrine two days ago, do you still go today?" Sonozaki interjected

"I want to make a vow," Rika Furute replied

"The shrine is not far from here, about two or three hours away, and there is also a place to perch," Sonozaki said, "Minister, will you go?" ”

"I said I didn't want to go..."

"Then vote," Nana said indifferently, "I haven't seen the shrine, I want to see it."

"Me too" Mengmeng has a look of being afraid that the world will not be chaotic

"That shrine was originally owned by the Ewha family... It's nothing to go and see it, right? Keiichi Maehara scratched his head, "It's just a wish, Chong, please forgive me?" ”

“… In that case, I understand, go ahead" Chong didn't know what expression he had on his face when he said this, but in short, the lively atmosphere soon returned

(At least if you stay with them...... However, let's not talk about the cause of the fire, since the fire that Chong saw was so fierce at the beginning, how did Shizunobu Muroi and the others survive on January 12th......

-- This question... It's poison

―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――― at half past two in the afternoon

(Except for the soul body...) Is there a way for people to live) That was the question that Chong asked Bai Ya at the second departure after noon

(There are many, for example, only the body is guaranteed to rot but the soul and consciousness are immortal) Bai Ya nodded and replied (but immortality is a kind of "heresy" that must be destroyed in the underworld, and if the soul and body can really be synchronized, it can only be the exclusive right of the living)

(Do you think Shizushin Muroi looks like a dead man)

(Huh?) What do you mean? Bai Ya was taken aback by this sentence

(I mean seriously) Chong nodded slightly, indicating that this was not a joke

(hmm...... From my point of view, he is a living person) Bai Ya took a serious look at Shizunobu Muroi, who was sitting in the middle of the line talking and laughing (his body and will are in harmony, there is no rancid smell like corpses, and he wants to destroy other creatures, he will be a dead person?). ）

(There's something called a ghoul...) He and his wife are kind of creatures) Chong seems to have rushed to some disgust with the topic (at least I don't understand why the school side would feel comfortable letting him lead the team alone)

(Suspicion is poison...) But since he is dead, you really have to pay attention to it at all times) Bai Ya said in a slightly optimistic tone (but since he can integrate into human society, it proves that he is not very harmful, and he may belong to the kind that can control himself)

(I thought you'd want to wipe out this existence.)

(That's what the chief judge of the underworld is responsible for, and I personally don't distinguish between public and private things too much) Bai Ya propped her head in mid-air and sighed softly (just since you know such a creature from your mouth, it proves that the underworld is not omnipotent)

(It is enough for humans to spy on humans)

(That's an excesse!) I always thought there was a tacit understanding between the two of us! ）

（…… Maybe) After that, Chong unilaterally fell silent, and Bai Ya didn't say anything more when she saw this, she was not a nosy person in the first place, she was a person who didn't like to talk nonsense in front of others (but she liked to show off), and in the absence of a task, she originally kept a distance from Jieyun Chong at all times, but this time it was because Jieyun Chong took the initiative to invite her that she followed with the idea that she couldn't refuse

(Maybe I'm thinking too much...) He said so silently in his heart, but on the premise that there was a living example, he really couldn't ignore this wonderful hidden danger, in fact, Muroi Shizushin himself was a person with a serious black history, not to mention that he and his wife were the only ones in the outfield village who survived, and it was a big problem just that he would be so active this time, and even Bai Ya, who was a member of the underworld, couldn't tell whether he was alive or dead now......

-- I... He must be kept an eye on

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――--Half past nine in the evening

"You choose one of your own people to sleep on the top of the shrine" This cold sentence came from Yukumo Chong's mouth, "Now there are only two tents, one can sleep three people and the other can sleep five, in other words, one of us must be camping in the wild."

"The six girls don't mention it for now, one of the three of us is going to sleep somewhere else" Chong ignored the women and turned his head to Shizunobu Muroi and Keiichi Maehara, oh, by the way, he didn't treat Bai Ya as a person, but her feather coat could be used as a hammock so it didn't take up space

"Teacher?" Chong took the initiative to turn to Shizunobu Muroi when the two hesitated, "As an adult... Can I trouble you? ”

"But I was born with a wind chill... And it just rained today," Shizunobu Muroi said with some embarrassment, "If I lie on the ground, I probably won't be able to get up tomorrow... It's really not like the teacher is deliberately shirking! ”

"Mr. Muroi is almost forty, don't toss him" Keiichi Maehara scratched his head with some distress

"So you're going?" Chong tilted his head towards Keiichi Maehara

"The shrine is haunted!"

"......" Chong glared slightly and hurriedly waved his hand Keiichi Maehara, except for the mountains and forests, the open space is so big, and it is impossible to let a person lie outside once the tent is set up, so what does this mean? I don't have a cold wind, and I'm not afraid of ghosts, so it's best for me to sleep on it?

"Wouldn't that be ......?"

"It has nothing to do with me, I brought the tent, and besides, you are the ones who are coming here" Chong said selfish words in a cold tone, "Since you know that there is not much space here, you shouldn't go all the way here, all in all, I will not go out to sleep in one word"

"If both of you are in trouble, you won't be considerate?" Nana said with a little disdain, "I'm used to sleeping in a big house, so I don't get used to the smell here?"

"In that case, why don't you go up first? I've already seen that you're a woman, and I've given you in," Chong couldn't help but shout angrily after hearing this, "Difficult? I didn't open my mouth to prove that I was the one who suffered the most?! ”

"What do you mean! I just said it casually! Nana was taken aback at first, and then couldn't help but instinctively retort, "Actually, it won't be okay if you go out alone!" Anyway, according to what my father said, you're used to being alone! ”

"Repeat what you just said!" Just listening to the sound of "Qiang", Chong has already pulled the knife out of the sheath

"Wait! There's no need to use a knife! Keiichi Maehara and Shion Sonozaki hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed Chong's hands, and even Bai Ya was in a hurry and kept trying him to calm down in her ear, "Don't do this! Esteem! Calm down! ”

"Do you want to make a move on me!" Instead, Nana took a defiant step forward, "You...... You ground worm! ”

"Then what do you think you are! It's just a mongrel from an alien planet! Chong's boiling point was completely ignited by Nana, people themselves have seven emotions and six desires, and Yuyun Chong is also a human being, and when he starts a fire, he will naturally talk nonsense with all the consequences

“―――！” So the next moment he was greeted by an iron fist from Nana Asda Debiluk, which was enough weight to give an ordinary person a concussion

"Mengmeng, did I overdo it just now?"

"No, the person who insulted Debiluc's bloodline deserves to be unlucky" Mengmeng laughed softly, and the tail behind her was naturally lowered

"Huh... I see, the noble princess can only scold people, but not be scolded...... "when she lifts her head up, part of the bridge of her nose is already sunken", which is really the same disgusting attitude as those guys......

"I'm going to sleep on the shrine, but remember that no matter what happens, don't come to me" pushed away Shizushin Muroi, who wanted to come forward to care, and then Chong didn't take anything with him and turned around in silence and left, "The tent and backpack are left for you"

"Anyway, I'm the one who deserves to be abandoned" The look in her eyes when she looked back made everyone shudder, Nana had seen this kind of look, which was the fierce eyes of a beast that even she could not domesticate and that would be killed by her father

"I'll apologize if he didn't say the word 'mongrel'......" Nana gritted her teeth and turned her head, "I can't say it, I refuse to apologize"

"Before being Nana and Mengmeng, we were the princess of Debi Lucoxing..."Mengmeng didn't know whether he was emotional, or deliberately wanted to open the wrong page, "If something really happens, let's go up and take a look..."

"If you make it up to you afterwards... It's too late," said the crowd, and when the two of them turned their heads, they didn't see anyone talking

(Sad?) ）

(Just angry...) What happens to your body if you don't sleep at night)

(Huh?) It won't be good, at most the next day the weight will be lighter)

(There is a small river on the way here, go there and scoop some water, the more the better, put it in the mountains and forests so as not to be seen by them)

(Hmm...) I see) Bai Ya nodded and walked in the opposite direction

“…… Yes, it's just angry" touched the position of the bridge of his nose, Chong didn't choose to surrender and admit defeat out of calmness, in fact, he still has the heart to rush down and tear Nana Asda Debiluk apart, but he didn't, why? Because Nana and Mengmeng are the cornerstones of his success, Uncle and Eclair have done so much, and I have spent years of my life for this... So now you're going to waste your work and get into trouble with a cosmic overlord who can crush himself in an easier way at any time? Can't do it...... I can't do it at all!!

"Huh... It's okay to leave, or the devil knows what will become of it then" Let the emotions dominate the body, what can be changed into? For example, what was a famous illness related to Hinamizawa? Jieyun Chong also has incurable diseases

"I'm used to being alone...... Oh, don't you want to tell an orphan one day that he is used to being alone? Talking to himself, I always felt that there was a fire in my heart that wanted to boil and burn

-- The Abandoned Man... Is it difficult to learn "habits"?

-- At 4:35 a.m. that night, a mudslide erupted at the foot of the mountain
