Chapter 2 (I) Runaway Island I
Hashima is called Gunkanjima Island simply because its overall shape resembles a warship. Originally, the island was not large, but after the discovery of coal resources in the 19th century, mining began. At the end of the 19th century, Hashima was acquired by a large Japanese group, and in order to facilitate coal mining, it was necessary to solve a series of problems such as the housing of coal miners and their families, so from the Taisho period of Japan, Hashima was reclaimed and expanded, and a series of basic living facilities such as houses, schools, and hospitals were built on the island.
However, the good times did not last long, and since the 60s of the 20th century, after Japan's energy consumption switched from coal to oil, Hashima coal mines were closed, and the island's residents were evacuated, and the entire island was closed.
"Years ago, the Japanese government reopened some of Hashima's facilities for tourists to visit and for film and television companies in need to shoot films, but after the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant accident, Hashima was forced to close." Ah Yue sat on the top floor of the bar, talking about what he knew.
After Tang Shuxing and the three of them left Shangdu, because the information at hand was not too clear, and Gu Huaiyi also mentioned that Hashima was in danger now, they could only go back to Bangkok to find Ah Yue, hoping to get the most detailed information from Ah Yue.
However, before getting the information, Tang Shuxing still relayed the result of his meeting with King Sha Jiang to Ah Yue.
After listening to this, although Ah Yue was a little disappointed that there was no result, she was still very grateful to Tang Shuxing, after all, Tang Shuxing did not break her promise, and would rather give up her precious opportunity and ask about Ah Ling for her.
Therefore, Ah Yue is willing to tell all the information he knows about Hashima for free.
"The appearance of a monster is related to a nuclear power plant accident?" Tang Shuxing recalled. Turned around and looked at the map of Japan that Ah Yue placed there, "No, the locations of Hashima and Fukushima are so far apart, one is on this side of Japan, and the other is on the other side, if the impact is really that big, not to mention Hashima, the surrounding countries will all suffer." ”
Ah Yue nodded, looking at Ji Kefeng who was sitting on the railing of the sundeck, Ji Kefeng didn't speak. It's as if I'm not listening to information seriously. Ah Yue looked at him for a few seconds before saying, "I checked." But the level of secrecy is so high that even the intelligence agencies of the Japanese Self-Defense Forces do not know what Hashima is about, and two warships of the Self-Defense Forces have been patrolling around Hashima for many years, and their helicopters have patrolled over Hashima at least three times a day. Once in the morning, noon and once in the evening. ”
"Ha Luha-" Gu Huaiyi said with a smile as he lay on the recliner on one side. "This is called three hundred taels of silver in this place."
"I paid $50,000 to bribe a Self-Defense Force staff officer who served on one of the warships. He claimed that their mission was to prevent any ships and planes from approaching Hashima, under the premise that warnings were ineffective. They have the power to use lethal force. Ah Yue said, "There is another thing, it just happened this morning, in Chiyoda District, the central area of Tokyo, Japan, gathered nearly 200 Green Cross employees and their families, as well as some sympathetic citizens, this group of people asked the Japanese government to put pressure on the United States, because during the Philadelphia incident, the United States government forced the Green Cross company to let Japanese employees enter the danger zone in order to test the vaccine, which eventually led to the tragic death of those people." ”
Tang Shuxing straightened up suddenly: "And then?" ”
"Then after the media reports, plus interviews, and multiple sources to prove it, things got completely out of control, just five minutes before you arrived, thousands of people had gathered in Chiyoda Ward, among them militants chanting for the Americans to get out of Japan, and the police decided that if the gatherers did not leave before midnight today, they would take action to clear the field." After Ah Yue finished speaking, he sighed and said, "The current Japanese government is outright pro-American, and if this matter develops, the final result will be that the whole of Japan will become anti-American." ”
Tang Shuxing stared at the map of Japan: "Is there anything related to the Green Cross?" It's impossible, I've heard that the Green Cross has ties with the Japanese right wing, and it has something to do with the roots in the early years, so why did the Green Cross break out after the Saga attack on the US military base? Did they make a covenant? ”
"Sorry, I don't have any information on this." Ah Yue shook his head, "But if you want to go to Japan, it's best to use a boat, the plane is not safe, all the planes flying to Japan are monitored, if it is found that something is wrong, the US military will shoot it down at any time, the current United States has gone completely crazy, and they are not willing to lose this ally in the Far East." ”
"Tell me about the monsters in Hashima." Ji Kefeng suddenly opened his mouth and asked at this time, "I'm interested in this, as for how we get there, Madman Gu should have a way." ”
Gu Huaiyi didn't say anything, just closed his eyes and rested.
"The monster incident in Hashima, there are three things, two of which can be found on the Internet, do you want to skip the one that can't be found directly?" Ah Yue looked at the other three.
"Let's talk about it, anyway, it will take us time to look up information on the Internet." Tang Shuxing sat there and made a "listening" action.
"The first thing happened in 1976, the year after Hashima was evacuated, when a Japanese fishing boat, named Mio Maru, suddenly encountered a hurricane near Nagasaki, and suddenly appeared, but the hurricane only lasted five minutes, and after the hurricane passed, the entire crew of the Mio Maru found that they had drifted to the edge of Hashima at least nearly 100 nautical miles away from them......" Ah Yue began to tell the first thing about the legend of Hashima.
When the Mio Maru found out about Hashima, they were very surprised, because they were not allowed to approach Hashima, so they hadn't been near Hashima for two years, and Hashima's appearance looked so old, not like it had just been two years, but like two hundred years had passed, it was very terrifying, and there were dark clouds floating over the entire Hashima island.
The crew of the Mio Maru began to sail away, but no matter how hard they tried, they could not leave the Hashima area, and eventually the Mio Maru disappeared into Hashima.
After Ah Yue finished speaking, he couldn't help laughing, Tang Shuxing and the others also laughed, and Tang Shuxing laughed: "This story is so unlevel, the whole ship has disappeared, no one is alive, how did the story come down?" It's too, this story doesn't have much reference value, let's talk about the next one. ”
"The next one is similar to this one, and it is also a story that has been handed down inexplicably without anyone alive, so I'll say the last one...... This story is a freelance photographer named Hiroshi Miki, who is not really Japanese, but an American, but has Japanese nationality, so he took such a nondescript Japanese name. Ah Yue got up and poured tea, "He went after the nuclear power plant accident, and he was commissioned by a Japanese film company to shoot on Hashima Island, and then decide whether to shoot a movie there." ”
Miki Hiroshi went by helicopter and got special permission, and in addition to him, there were four other people with him, a doctor, a doctor's assistant, that is, a nurse, and two people, although ostensibly so-and-so assistants sent by the company, were actually security personnel, both of whom had a background in the Self-Defense Forces and had served for many years.
The helicopter of five people landed on the southwest side of the island in accordance with the regulations, but before landing, the helicopter deliberately flew around the island twice, allowing Miki Hiroshi to take pictures of Hashima with his camera and high-definition camera.
When he was filming the whole picture, Miki Hiroshi noticed that Hashima looks like a historical monument today, it is very old, and there is no trace of any living creatures, and there are a lot of rumors of wild cats and wild dogs, which have not been confirmed here.
After the helicopter landed, Miki Hiroshi and the other four people began to head towards the central part of the island, and there were three places scheduled to shoot, the first was the nearest concentrated house building 30 from where they docked the helicopter, and the townhouse buildings 16-20, 70, and 71 in the middle of the island, which is the Hashima Elementary and Middle School headquarters building and gymnasium.
The first two shoots went very smoothly, nothing strange happened, and everyone was in a very happy mood, but Miki Hiroshi found that the accompanying doctor and his assistant were very curious, always collecting plants or insects that could be seen around, and at one point the two of them were studying something from a distance and observing for a long time. Later, when Miki Hiroshi went to check under the pretext of urinating, he found that it was the corpse of a cat, and the strange thing was that the cat corpse was not decomposed, as if it had just been dead for a few hours.
Miki Hiroshi felt strange about all this, and although he didn't know what the doctor and assistant were going to do, he knew that if something happened, the only people he could rely on might be the two security guards around him.
The unexpected incident occurred when they arrived at the most rearly filmed location, which was the gymnasium of Hashima Elementary and Middle School in Building 71. Just after taking pictures of the appearance of the gymnasium, Miki Hiroshi checked the photos and found strange dots and shadows on them, and at first he thought that the off-camera filter had been stuck to dust or something, and then took pictures after wiping them clean, and found that the shadows were still there.
Miki Hiroshi was surprised, and subconsciously looked at the photos taken inside the school before, which almost made Miki Hiroshi throw away the camera directly - because in the previous photos, Miki Hiroshi saw a lot of translucent floating objects appear in the photos, and this phenomenon exists in every photo taken in the school.
The most bizarre thing is that when he checked the photo earlier, he didn't see a shadow on the photo.
Miki Hiroshi did not immediately say anything about it for fear of scaring the others, and he secretly checked the photo two or three times, but each time he checked, the outline of the shadow on it became more and more obvious, and when he checked it again an hour later, he found that the picture showed a different scene - the school was full of children playing, there were students listening carefully in the classroom, there were teachers teaching on the podium, and there were children wielding baseball bats in the playground under the direction of the coach.
Moreover, he clearly saw that many of the children in the photos were looking at his camera, and a few were smiling at the camera, and the more generous children were waving to the camera.
Miki Hiroshi was stunned, and everything he saw in front of him seemed to be that he had traveled through time and space under the premise of unknown, and returned to Hashima decades ago to take these photos.
Immediately afterward, Miki Hiroshi continued to hide from the others, while making an offer that everyone else objected to - to stay on Hashima for the night! (To be continued......)
