Chapter 233: Tengu Mask
"It may be a bit arrogant to say this, but it's not impossible, will the other party's target be me?" Gu Qi imagined many possibilities and said one of them.
"You mean...... Guide dog? Miao Yi immediately reacted, if this trap was really aimed at Gu Qi, then it could only be set by a guide dog.
The bend is too big, and if you want to get Gu Qi to this sparsely populated island through Tsubono and through Kenji Sakura, I'm afraid that only a guide dog can do it, and if you don't know enough about the relationship between Tsubono and Kenji Sakura, don't know enough about the relationship between Kenji Sakura and Gu Qi, and don't know enough about everyone's personalities, the plan won't succeed.
"The possibility is not low, you think, that kid in Tsubono has never made a grudge against anyone, and there is no need for people seeking revenge against him to do such complicated things, and in the same way, to deal with the Ministry of Internal Affairs, you don't need to go around in such a big circle and specially lure people to the other side of the world, so this trap is either used against me, or I am used to lure you over." Kenji Sakura followed Gu Qi's train of thought and cleared his thoughts.
"Whoever you're dealing with, it looks like you've stepped into a trap right now." Miao Yi scratched her chin and said.
"Hehe, anyway, there is a chain sauce, no matter what traps there are, they will eventually fail, and the person who sets the trap will definitely be unlucky." Kenji Sakura didn't care.
"I know how to make a sycophant, but fortunately we came along, otherwise you will have to shed your skin if you don't die." Miao Yi's face was full of disdain.
"That's right." Kenji Sakura nodded and asked Gu Qi, "What are you going to do?" Do you leave as soon as possible or do you follow the path and find out who set the trap? ”
"Everything is just speculation, there is no actual evidence, go ahead with your plan, stay vigilant, take it one step at a time." Gu Qi flicked the cigarette ash. said: "The other party estimated that I would not ignore potential threats when encountered, so I used this photo with many doubts, which is also a way to ensure that we will not leave, so let's respond to all changes with the same." ”
"Okay, then tomorrow I'll go to Whitemark to inquire about the ghost face and pay more attention to the people around you. If you see a suspicious guy, you will investigate, anyway, we are fine, and it will be okay to delay for a few more days, so we should be on vacation. Kenji Sakura lay down and covered the quilt.
Australia is in the Southern Hemisphere, and it's winter, and there is no snow on Flinders Island, but the temperature is cooler.
…………
Early the next morning, Gu Qi, Miao Yi and Kenji Sakura got up early. When I came downstairs to enjoy breakfast, I didn't care about the money, and the money I paid made the chubby proprietress smile into two slits.
There is only one airport on the island, and there are "quite a few" buses to this small village, with three departures to Whitemark, one in the morning, one in the evening, which is not bad, and sometimes only one every three days in more remote places.
Wait until nine o'clock. Gu Qi and the others got on a bus with only three passengers, and Kenji Sakura immediately took action. Take the photo and ask about the Tengu mask.
Both the passenger and the driver shook their heads and said they hadn't seen it, and Kenji Sakura was not in a hurry, and returned to his seat to sleep with his hands in his hands.
It wasn't far away, and after just over twenty minutes, the bus pulled into the town of Whitemark.
Ninety percent of the island's inhabitants live in this town, which is not a small amount. Occasionally, there will be travelers coming, and the whole town will know if there are not two outsiders.
It's just that Gu Qi and Kenji Sakura's outfits are too strange, they are both knee-length special attack suits, one black and one white, and one has words embroidered on the back. A cat on his shoulder, everyone who saw them was surprised, and inevitably looked at them a few more times.
The two went straight to the alley where Freckles Coffee was.
Standing at the entrance of the alley, Kenji Sakura took out the photo and compared it, confirming that the photo was taken here.
"Let's go to Freckles Coffee and ask first." Kenji Sakura looked around, on the right side of the alley was a store selling leather bags and women's clothing, and beyond that there was a small church, and on the left was a courtyard, and across the street there was a bakery, and a rental warehouse.
The sign still stands at the door of Freckles Coffee, and today's specials are smoked trout burgers, and black coffee costs $3 a cup, which is very cheap in Australia, where prices are higher.
Kenji Sakura pushed the door and walked in, and the bell on the door shook softly, making a pleasant sound.
In such a small town, the pace of life is very slow, and at ten o'clock in the morning, there are still people eating breakfast, drinking coffee, and reading the island newspaper in a slow manner.
Hearing the doorbell ringing, several people raised their heads and looked at them, then lowered their heads again, realized that something was wrong, and then raised their heads again, looking at the two Asians in a daze.
Kenji Sakura ordered a cup of coffee, and Gu Qi asked for a cup of milk, caffeine can make people excited and affect thinking, he never drinks it.
"Excuse me, have you ever met this person? Or is it this mask? Kenji Sakura showed the photo to the only waiter at Freckles Café.
This is a young man about thirty years old, with slightly curly brown hair, handsome appearance, looking refreshing, looking at the photo for a while, shaking his head and saying, "Sorry, I haven't seen it." ”
"Thank you." Kenji Sakura took back the photo and pointed to the other people, "Can I ask those guests?" ”
"Please." The waiter nodded.
Kenji Sakura got up and walked around the store, but he didn't get anything, and returned to the front of the stage and put the photo on the countertop.
"The color of the mask is obvious, and those who see it will not forget, and the intention of choosing this location to take pictures is obvious, that is, we are here to inquire, and we should not be unable to inquire about anything." Gu Qi looked at the photo and said.
"yes, I thought I would be able to ask when I came here, it was too devastating." Kenji Sakura sighed.
"What the hell is this Tengu mask? What's the use? It was cold, Miao Yi had been shrunk in Gu Qi's hood, and the store was relatively warm, so she poked her head out and put it on Gu Qi's shoulder.
Like a snail enough.
"The Tengu mask is said to be ordinary and ordinary, and it is the same as those in the world, there is a mind spirit in it, the difference is that ordinary people can also summon the tengu when they wear a mask, but they can't see it, the most powerful thing is that the tengu can fight according to your consciousness, unlike the full mind spirit to follow the action of the body, you want it to kill a person, it will kill the other party in that way, this is very dangerous, if ordinary people have a hateful person, after encountering it, they think in their hearts that they want that person to die, that person is really dead." Kenji Sakura took a sip of coffee.
"So convenient? What is the cost of summoning the tengu? Miao Yi was a little surprised, wearing this mask, wouldn't she be able to take advantage of it when fighting?
"One of the costs is strength, and of course the tengu has to consume strength to move, and it consumes a lot of energy, and this kind of mind is like this; The second price is the ghost face, after the tengu kills people, it will take the ghost face of the soul, which is a bit like a fierce spirit, but the tengu does not take the initiative to kill, if the target it kills does not show the ghost, after receiving the instructions to return the mask, it cannot get the ghost face from the person wearing the mask, it will directly take the ghost face of the soul of the person wearing the mask, which is 100% obtainable, and after devouring the ghost face, it will return to the ghost face. Kenji Sakura finished his coffee, paid the money, and walked out of the freckles coffee with Gu Qi.
"Well, that means as long as you have a ghost face, you can let the tengu help you fight, unless you don't have the strength." Miao Yi concluded.
"Yes, so the tengu is more meaningful to fight for ordinary people, if the prayer master uses the tengu to fight, if he can't kill the target as soon as possible, his strength will be exhausted by the tengu, and sometimes it is better to fight on his own." Kenji Sakura explained.
"Xu Peirong is very suitable for wearing a tengu mask, she doesn't have the ability to herself, but she can see ghost faces and minds, and when she encounters danger, she can easily solve the enemy by wearing a tengu mask." Miao Yi looked at Gu Qi.
"I don't recommend this, it's not that it's stingy, it's because tengu is conscious, characterful, and temperamental, and in Japanese, the word 'tengu' is also used to describe arrogant people, because tengu is belligerent, warlike it is arrogant, arrogant and arrogant, if it is called out, the battle is not enjoyable enough, it has a certain chance of fighting with the person wearing the mask, and if it is accidentally killed, it will be killed, even if it can't be killed, it is a big trouble." Kenji Sakura smiled helplessly.
"Interesting, it's really troublesome, if you encounter multiple enemies, summon them out, and fail to kill all the enemies before you run out of strength, and it doesn't have a good time, wouldn't it turn around and kill you?" Miao Yi's interest in the Tengu Mask suddenly dropped to a minimum.
"So the Tengu mask is not suitable for ordinary people to use, ordinary people usually want to kill ordinary people, Tengu will definitely not be able to fight, even if it gets the ghost mask, it may turn around and kill the person wearing the mask, this is the reason why the Tengu mask was not used, but was placed in the Treasure Hall, and it is also the reason why the Ministry of Internal Affairs is in a hurry to get the mask back, and among all the lost items, the Tengu mask ranks first." Kenji Sakura walked into the shop next to the alley and showed the owner a photo.
Shops, yards, churches, bakeries, rental warehouses...... went around in a big circle and asked countless people, but there was no result, and the attitude of these people was very calm, not like they were deliberately hiding something, at least Gu Qi couldn't see anything strange.
When I returned to the alley again, it was already past twelve o'clock in the afternoon.
Kenji Sakura was almost dry, thought about it, and said, "Let's go to Freckles Coffee for lunch, and go somewhere else in the afternoon to ask, anyway, the town is so big, it won't take too long for everyone to ask." ”
Gu Qi had no opinion, and the two returned to Freckles Coffee.
There were a few more people in the store than in the morning, but it was also limited, there were only seven or eight in total, and among them was a middle-aged man in a police uniform.
As soon as the waiter saw Kenji Sakura, he pointed to the man in the police uniform and said, "That's the sheriff of the town, if you want to find someone, it's best to ask him, he knows almost everyone in the town." ”
"Great, thank you very much!" Kenji Sakura handed over a hundred-dollar bill, ordered some food at random, and sat down next to the sheriff-
