Chapter 33: Chapter 33

No children will go missing this year, will they?

The shrines are all collapsed, and there are no shrines... The child should not be led out. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Is it really collapsing? In other words, there will be no more ghost places from now on?

Yes, not anymore.

It's great...

Then again, how did that person find the shrine? I heard that I walked in directly, and I didn't use "that method" at all, which is really amazing.

I don't know, is it a "spirit"? I've heard that kind of people can see things that others can't see.

In my opinion, everyone's prayers in the past few years have also contributed a lot, and it can't all be attributed to that person.

Don't argue, anyway, it's nice that the children of the shrine can stay in the village safely.

Where did that person go afterward?

Afterward...? Gone...

I didn't see anyone coming out of the direction of the shrine...

Don't worry about that person, you can breathe a sigh of relief now.

But... Is what you're saying true, how can anyone see another strange child on the other side of the mountain...

Are you talking about...?

....

The second month.

It's summer.

Everyone in the village thought that there was no shrine on the other side of the hill anymore, and everyone thought that they could boldly release their children without having to be locked in their homes every day, and the children were running and playing in the village happily, regardless of gender, old and young, and no one took the "strange thing" to heart, not knowing whether it was too happy or deliberately avoiding things that they didn't want to say.

Until that day...

Someone suddenly asked.

"Did that shrine really collapse at the foot of the mountain?"

"It's collapsed."

"I've seen it all right..."

"Huh?"

"Wasn't it invisible before?"

"I wonder too, but... I can really see it.,At first I thought someone's house was suddenly built there.,Take a closer look at it.。 ”

"You can't talk nonsense about this kind of thing."

"Do you want to take another look? Check it out. ”

The news immediately spread throughout the village, but everyone never believed it, but at the same time they didn't believe it, the "strange thing" would be taken seriously, and it was really strange, that is..."The shrine collapsed" I don't know how the story came out, the village is not big, the number of people is not large, everyone is very familiar with each other, and they have asked one by one, and everyone can tell who the last person who passed it on to them was, but there is no way to find the first person who spread the word.

There must be the first person to say this, and it can't be out of thin air.

A meeting was held to write the message on a piece of paper in the form of a registration to the previous person, and to indicate the time when they were informed, so that if someone informed earlier than they were informed, then that person had a problem.

Everyone registered as required, and the more terrible facts lay ahead...

No one informed the time earlier than the time learned, and there was no problem with sending three people to check it three times, but such a "no problem" is indeed a very terrible problem.

No matter how you look at the time, it's so strange, what's wrong?

It was said.

"Let's go check it out."

Everyone was very weak and didn't know whether to nod or shake their heads.

"Anyway, where did the guy who found the shrine go before?"

"yes, did that person come out of the shrine..."

As soon as the words fell, everyone froze.

It seems to be word of mouth, and no one has ever seen it.

Who said that "the shrine collapsed"???

"Let's go and see, you'll know when you see it."

"That's right."

"yes, go check it out."

The matter was decided, and everyone agreed to go to that place early the next morning.

The whole village went together, and not one was left behind.

Over the hill, the scenery is surprisingly good, the trees are lush nearby, the mountains are stacked in the distance, and there are birds soaring in the clouds from time to time, everyone laughs and chats all the way, and soon walks to the position of the sign.

"Do you want to go in?"

"You don't have to go far to see the shrine when you go inside."

"Can you really see it? Didn't you find it before? ”

"If you go and see it yourself..."

The long path was uneven, and the roots of the trees on both sides protruded from the dirt, intertwined like huge earthworms, and those who didn't like earthworms felt disgusted when they saw it.

After walking down the path, they began to talk little, and only the sound of footsteps sounded in the eerie silence.

"Do you feel cold..."

"Sort of..."

"Didn't you say you didn't have to go far to see the shrine?"

"But I feel like I've been gone for a long time..."

"I think too..."

"Who said that?"

"Which one...?"

"Who said the phrase, 'You don't have to go far to see the shrine?'"

"I don't know!"

"Let's go a little longer, and if you can't see it, go back."

"Yes, I don't have a problem going back now..."

......

They never spoke again, they didn't make eye contact with each other, they didn't have expressions on their faces, they were more like they were walking on this road mechanically... They didn't dare to look down at their feet, because there was no road under their feet for a long time, and the soles of their shoes were stepping on... It's something that I don't dare to say at all, and I don't dare to look up at the top of my head, because the top of my head and my feet are the same...

......

A certain year.

It's just summer.

Hey, have you heard about going to that village?

Is it the village where the whole village disappeared overnight?

I heard where those people went, and they never came back.

Where?

It seems to be a shrine...

We... It's better not to go, I'm afraid it won't be good.

How so?

The people of that village didn't want to go out on their own, as if someone said something, and the whole village followed the devil...

No, it's not what you said, there is a rumor that there is a shrine near that village, and one day someone said that the shrine collapsed, and everyone was happy, but after a while, someone suddenly said that they saw the shrine and it was okay, and the whole village planned to confirm the incident.

Wait a minute! Why is everyone happy that the shrine has collapsed? Don't you like that shrine?

I heard that because of the existence of the shrine, children are always lost in the village, and the children are missing one after another...

You're right, and you say that the shrine can't be found without "special methods".

There were a lot of strange things that happened in that village before, and everyone kept silent about it, and it was all about the shrine.

To put it this way...

Let's go, it's already been arranged to go, and there's no way to do it.

Uh-huh.

Maybe you'll find something else...

The next day, there were five people who went to the studio, A, B, C, D, and E.

Little A is the leader, and everyone follows him to that village...

......

Just now Little D said that he was going to go to that shrine to see, and it was on the other side of the hill.

Hey, I didn't say it, it was Xiao E who told me, and he said he had to go to that shrine.

I didn't say it, it was Little A who told me.

I listened to what Little B said, and I didn't take the initiative to bring it up.

I listened to what Little C said, and the first one to say it wasn't me...

Who did you listen to that little C?

Little D told me!

... Ay? That's not right...

... Oh, yes... It feels like that, but if you think about it, it doesn't make sense, there should always be the first person to say this, and there is no first... How did that get out?

Seems like a paradox...

That...

Let's check it out.

After crossing the hill, all five of them came to the place where the street sign was.

Hey, look inside this road...

There... How is that the way it looks...

Everyone looked in amazement in the direction in which the path extended...
