[Weather: Cloudy]

[Nakagawa-kun, gone. 】

[We found out about this when we got up early for breakfast. 】

[Nakagawa-kun and we obviously live in a tent, but his sleeping bag is empty. 】

[The rain stopped, and on the muddy ground outside the tent, there were some messy footprints, apparently left by Nakagawa-kun. You can see that he lingered in place for a while, as if he was pacing back and forth here, as if he was hesitating? 】

[But we followed the footsteps for a while, but the footsteps stopped abruptly, and where the footprints disappeared, there were two or three cigarette butts, which seemed to have been extinguished for a long time. We couldn't understand why Nakagawa-kun would leave the tent without permission, and we ...... about it Not aware at all? 】

[To be honest, we were all flustered at the time. The difficult environment, as well as the impact of lack of sleep last night, everyone's mental state has been affected, and there is such a thing suddenly...... But in retrospect, the anxiety at that time seems to be related to that soft hum. 】

[Fortunately, Miss Maruyama was still calm, and her mood didn't seem to have much effect, so she immediately gave instructions to search for Nakagawa-kun's traces nearby, as well as the way down the mountain - the border between Salin and the edge area is a steep rock wall, and after the mountain road collapsed when she came, she had to find a new way out of here. 】

[In order to improve efficiency and save time, I went with a group of villager guides, and Kamo-kun and Miss Maruyama were in a group, and started looking separately. 】

[Obviously, I want to act with Miss Maruyama more...... Kamo-san is too young, and his behavior is very frivolous, so Miss Maruyama should be more vigilant. 】

In this sentence, Aono read a faint sourness.

From this moment on, Takeshi Takatera seemed to be resistant and hostile to that Kamo-kun.

'Oh, man! ’

Aono continued to look down.

[The villager's guide is called Taro Ishigami, the eldest son of their family, a dark-skinned young man, short and thin, due to long-term malnutrition, and an incomprehensible accent. 】

[Because we insisted on coming to Salin, he didn't have a very good attitude towards us—except for Miss Maruyama.] 】

[Although the idea is a little ignorant, Taro Ishigami is still very neat, and his legs and feet are much more flexible than mine. 】

[About half an hour later, we made an unexpected discovery - a barely smooth mountain road, according to Ishigami Taro's judgment, we should be able to return to Higashisaka Village.] I was a little ashamed to say that my first reaction after learning the news was to breathe a sigh of relief, and even had the urge to go back directly along this road...... I think the more I stay in this place, the stranger it becomes, my heart sometimes beats inexplicably, and there are some muffled sounds in my ears. 】

[I regret it, I want to get out of here.] 】

[But think about Miss Maruyama...... I still gave up on the idea. 】

[We went back the way we came, and made a mark on the way, and when we met Miss Maruyama and them at the scheduled time, they also made an unexpected discovery.] 】

[About 300 meters to the west of the camping ground, there is a cave, where Kamo-san found traces suspected to have been left by Nakagawa-kun, a half-new lighter, and only me and Nakagawa-kun were the only two of us who smoked, and it was such a wilderness, and the answer was already clear. 】

[So now, there are two paths in front of us - one is to leave the missing Nakagawa-kun and leave here according to that mountain road; The other is to go into an unknown cave to explore. 】

[No surprise, under the clapping of Miss Maruyama, we chose the latter.] 】

[Even if everyone has different thoughts in their hearts, on the bright side, they are definitely unwilling to show their willingness to abandon their companions. 】

At the end of this text, there is a line with a distinctly different handwriting.

The handwriting is sloppy, crude, and altered.

At first glance, you can tell that it was added later.

- [I didn't know at that time that after entering the cave, it was the beginning of all my suffering! 】

Aono stared at the line for a long time.

It seems that when he wrote this line, Takeshi Takaji was already on the verge of collapse.

What happened to him after that?

Aono looked up and saw that it was almost late at night.

Because the official action will start tomorrow, Aono also needs to take a break, so he lies down in bed and falls asleep after washing up.

After falling asleep.

In dreams.

Aono faintly heard a whisper from the unknown.

The whisper seems to have originated thousands of years ago.

In the dark, there is a consciousness, ancient and confused.

Aono will be invited to a more glorious and greater world to be one of them.

The scene I saw in Takeshi Takaji's memory during the day really resurfaced.

Caves, rock walls, clay pots......

White bones, dark purple liquid, and shadows in the firelight.

[You are under the gaze of an ancient consciousness!] 】

【Judgment ......】

[Judgment Success!] 】

[Sanity-1!] 】

Aono frowned in his sleep, muttering in his mouth.

"Will it taste good?"

Then the tightly knit brow was released, as if reminiscing about the delicious tadpoles I had eaten today.

Smile expectantly.

"Hope...... Won't let me down, will you? ”

Ancient Consciousness: "......"

The dreary air seemed to freeze for a short time.

revealed a hint of unspeakable embarrassment.

If that ancient consciousness had anthropomorphic thoughts, it would have been to send out "??? to show how He is feeling at the moment.

'Please, take care of me, wouldn't I be shameless?' ’

After a brief period of stagnation, the breath of antiquity vanished.

Only Aono is still in bed, looking forward to tomorrow's 'food'.

Early the next morning.

Aono woke up from his sleep refreshed, and only then did he see the remaining hints on the panel.

I didn't really care about it.

If the average transcendent person may receive an indescribable gaze once a month, similar to the frequency of a woman's menstrual period, then the frequency of Aono's indescribable gaze from the upper position is the degree to which the Oiran in the Qinglou receives guests, not to mention once a day, maybe more than once a day, and there is more than one benefactor!

- (Note: Pick-up here includes, but is not limited to, this or that.) ）

In a word.

Not to mention casual, it can be ignored, but it is also an ordinary thing like eating, drinking, and Lazar.

Wait until Aono finishes breakfast and walks outside the guesthouse.

Waiting for the members to gather.

At this time, Taiichi Kaneshiro walked up to Aono and told him an unexpected news.

"Aono-sama."

"Ito-san, missing."

“...... Well? ”

Aono was slightly puzzled...... Ito-san, who is it?

Of course, he was only puzzled for a brief moment before he thought of the identity of Ito Shu, wasn't this the unlucky guy he taught a little lesson yesterday?

It seems that he also said to him, "It's better not to appear in front of yourself".

The main thing is that Ito Shu is an insignificant little person in Aono's eyes, and he has only heard his name once, and of course he doesn't take him to heart now, so it's not surprising that such a situation will occur.

But then again, how did he disappear too?

Aono looked at Taichi Kaneshiro, hoping to get an explanation from him.

“...... Huh? ”

Instead, Taiichi Kaneshiro looked back with more puzzled eyes.

It seems to be waiting for Aono's explanation.

The look in his eyes was like saying, "Isn't this what you arranged?"

Aono: "......"

Even though he had known that Taiichi Kaneshiro's thinking was relatively strange, it was always easy to think of some strange aspects, but right now, Aono was still surprised by his brain circuit.

'What kind of person have I become in your eyes!' ’

'Do I look like someone who likes to kill people?' ’

Aono showed a little helplessness in his expression at the right time, and sighed.

"It's not my hand."

“...... Really not? ”

Taiichi Kaneshiro asked Aono a rare rhetorical question.

In his heart, Aono may not be a person anymore!

Even if you want to kill people and cut down the grass and eradicate the roots, it is a reasonable thing.

"Not really."

"That's weird."

Taiichi Kaneshiro spoke with doubt.

Take Aono to Ito Shu's room.

Here, quite a few members of the group have gathered.

The way they looked at Aono was filled with awe that was visible to the naked eye, in addition to the emotion of appreciating beautiful things.

This is the impact of Aono's words yesterday.

And I'm afraid that in the eyes of many people, the disappearance of Ito Shu may also be his handiwork.

Are you misunderstanding me? ’

Didn't I say that I am a peace-loving person? ’

Aono shook his head helplessly.

I always feel like I'm a perverted murderer in their eyes.

I'm obviously a good person with morality above the horizon!

Aono is saddened by their misunderstanding.

Fortunately, after a brief investigation, people discovered the whereabouts of Shu Ito.

He didn't completely evaporate from the world, but - alone, went to Higashihan Village?

Higashihan Village is the village where the group first arrived in the archaeological notes.

But here's the problem.

This doesn't match the character of Ito Xiu himself?

In the impression of the team members, except for the negative images of not being so good-looking, bad mouth, poisonous tongue, and yin and yang, Ito Xiuke is not a person who performs well in action.

The most obvious feature is that Ito Shu is afraid of death!

I'm scared, I'm scared of death!

It seems that due to his distorted personality, he cherishes his current life as a transcendent even more, and rarely bears the brunt of danger when faced with danger.

- It is also understandable that the members of the group do not have a very good relationship with him, and basically no one speaks for him.

His reaction to the two Aono also proved this from the side.

But such a person who is afraid of death would take the initiative to go to Higashihan Village?

It's like a salary thief who fishes all day long, eats and waits for death, and gets stuck in and out of work, and suddenly one day he takes the initiative to work overtime until three o'clock in the morning!

Is this reasonable? (There should be a meme here)

Obviously unreasonable!

When things go wrong, there must be demons.

But even the acquaintances of the group couldn't figure out why he did this.

"Now you should believe it, right?"

Aono said to Taichi Kaneshiro.

If Aono really wanted to do it, where would he use this crude way?

Wouldn't it be better to just find an opportunity to let Ito Shu disappear quietly?

No matter what Ito's whereabouts are or what his purpose is, this cannot hinder Aono's actions today.

In the final analysis, in Aono's opinion, the other party is really insignificant.

As the sedan moved, the group headed towards Higashisaka Village.

On the way, Taichi Kaneshiro began to explain the beginning and end of the matter to Aono in detail.

If it was just a relic in the deep mountains and old forests, even if it was the ancient lost civilization of Raushzi, it would not attract the attention of the transcendent.

- The members of the Einsatzgruppen are all transcendental, and they are all very busy!

Who has time to pay attention to the civilization in such a remote place?

Are the transcendents really idle?

However, if this lost civilization were to deal a major blow to Nagoya City, the situation would be completely different.

A prophetic type transcendent like Yuki Hino is not the only one in the entire country.

In the Nagoya branch, there happened to be such a "prophet".

But in all fairness, the power of this "prophet" is not so useful.

There are also extremely harsh conditions of use, such as being able to use it only on the night of a full moon.

The footage observed is also incomplete, only sporadic fragments.

Compared to Yuki Hino's ability, it is several notches worse.

It's a deteriorated version of Hino Yuki.

But even this ability is still incalculable.

And last month, when the moon was full, the "Prophet" saw the image of this unexplored mountainous area, and it was rarely counterattacked.

This means that the danger in this mountainous area will radiate to the entire city of Nagoya in two months.

- The ability of the "prophet" has many limitations, but it has not been missed yet, so it naturally attracts great attention.

Only then did the Nagoya branch urgently dispatch transcendents to resolve the incident.

In fact, the Nagoya branch still takes this matter very seriously.

The two only A-class transcendents in the branch were sent out, ready to solve it in one go.

It's just that things didn't go the way they expected.

The outcome was far from what was planned.

The two A-class transcendents were directly silent, as if they had evaporated from the world.

This is a devastating blow to the Nagoya branch!

The seedlings that they can say about the strength of these two are directly planted here this time, and you can imagine their heartache.

It was also realized that this was a crisis that the Nagoya branch could not handle alone.

So he invited foreign aid, and Aono, as the night watchman, was one of the foreign aids.

Taiyi Kaneshiro is not the only team dealing with this crisis.

It's just that they act as the first team to set off, acting as an advance team.

This time, the Nagoya branch is really a bloody investment.

After understanding the situation, Aono looked out the window.

The hustle and bustle of the town was gradually left behind them, farther and farther away, and finally drowned in the silence of a wilderness.

The vegetation became more and more dense and dense, stacked on top of each other, like a chaotic green labyrinth.

The verdant mountains and forests are right in front of you.
