"Who are you?"

The door was gently opened through a crack, revealing half of a scruffy face.

"Fu Jixian, from Tokyo.

Came for 'that thing'. ”

Fu Jixian took a step back so that the other party could see that he was not a suspicious person, and at the same time he briefly introduced himself...... Although the statement that he came from Tokyo is wrong, it can quickly point out his identity and intentions.

So then he clearly felt that the sight behind the door changed from vigilant to scrutinized, and it may have been more than ten seconds before the other party opened the door.

"Please come in." The man said to Fu Jixianli.

His hair is gray and messy, his face is protruding, his eye sockets are sunken, his eyes are red and swollen, and he is full of bloodshots...... However, this may just be due to mental stress and excessive anxiety.

Fu Jixian walked into the door, and then the other party slammed the door shut.

Fu Jixian Li came to the living room and sat down, and the man walked into the kitchen, and then took a glass of water and placed it in front of him.

Is this hospitality?

Fu Jixian looked at the black garbage bags piled up in the corners of the walls in this space, coupled with the sour smell that permeated the air...... Fu Jixian decided not to touch the cup.

When he sat down, he was facing a TV and a TV stand, with a photo on one side of the TV stand. There are two people in the photo, one of them is a middle-aged man in front of him, and the other is a girl who looks like a high school student.

It's supposed to be a daughter, right?

Just as Fu Jixian was about to take a closer look, the other party pulled a chair and sat opposite him, his figure just blocking his vision.

"What do you call it?"

Fu Jixian retracted his gaze and asked.

"Takeuchi, I didn't expect you to actually send someone here.

I just explained what happened to me on a very suspicious website, but I didn't expect to be contacted by a person named Soya later......

And you're not that Mr. Soya. ”

"If you want to describe it as an RPG, Mr. Soya is the 'elder' who stays in the village and issues tasks, and I am the 'brave' who is in charge of the work......"

Accepting commissions from all walks of life, and then helping the masses deal with some problems, Soya Gento seems to be engaged in a job similar to that of a detective, except that his scope of work is significantly more professional, more dangerous, and more beyond the understanding of ordinary people.

To tell you the truth, I'm not very skilled in business, but as the saying goes, 'a master has an apprentice's heart', and an apprentice has an apprentice's heart, so a master equals an apprentice, and an apprentice equals a master. ”

The term "......" doesn't sound reliable.

"So can you tell me what happened to you, although I'm here, I don't really know anything about the specific incident."

Takeuchi was reminiscing about something, and after a moment he said with an extremely complicated expression, "That's ...... A weirdness beyond comprehension. ”

Although his voice was a little tense, it generally felt calm, not quite like someone who had experienced something particularly terrifying...... He was more like he was tormenting than frightened.

"Ghosts? Ghosts? ”

"No, it's ......

It has to do with my job, this is Mt. Fuji, and what I have to do every day is patrol the forest. ”

"Protecting forests, preventing fires, etc.?"

Fu Jixian understood, this is a forest ranger.

"Well, occasionally I help clean up the bodies of people who have been killed or committed suicide."

“……”

When it comes to the sea of trees on Mt. Fuji, this kind of thing is indeed quite famous. And thanks to Japan's 500-year-leading household registration system, many of the people who died here will never be able to figure out their identities. That being said, this place is indeed a haunted place......

Or haunted, or "troublemaker".

"A month ago, I was patrolling the forest a little off my usual route and took a path that cut deeper into the forest, and then, there, I saw a ......

Monster. ”

"Monsters? Can you describe it in more specific terms, the physical form of the monster? Competencies? ”

"I don't know, I had to turn around and run away at once, if I had to describe it...... In reality, all I saw was a black fog that seemed to swallow everything. ”

"Then it may not look like black fog, but it is black fog, and activities such as gathering insect swarms and underground river eruptions will cause similar visual effects.

As far as I know, the interior of the primeval forest is not very well lit. ”

If it was just this explanation, then Fu Jixian felt that the other party was most likely dazzled, and then overconsciously scared himself.

"No, I'm sure it's a living thing......"

"Whatever it is, if it's just inside the forest, then don't care about it at all...... Because it is harmless, it does not need to be handled. ”

"If only that were all there was to it, that's what I thought at first. But ever since that incident, a voice has been echoing in my head all this time.

What's more, my daughter disappeared shortly after. ”

"Missing? Do you think your daughter's disappearance has something to do with what you experienced? It doesn't feel logically related. ”

"No, there must be a connection...... That's what my gut tells me. I called the police and the police didn't find any clues about my daughter at all, like she never existed......"

Fu Ji Xianli glanced at the other party deeply, and then said very seriously, "I understand, I can't do anything about your daughter's whereabouts, but about the weirdness in the forest you said, I can help check it out......

Hopefully these two things are one thing. ”

Since he had come here, Fu Jixian decided to go to the scene to take a look.

There was a clear sense of dissonance between the emotions shown by Mr. Takeuchi and the explanations he made, and if you only listened to his words, then it would not be more reasonable to find someone like Fu Jixianli to solve his problems, and it would be more reasonable to find a psychiatrist.

But it's not that simple.

"Unknown something" is the most terrifying, but Mr. Takeuchi seems to know something about the "unknown" he has experienced.

"Thank you very much, just ...... Do you have what it takes to deal with that kind of thing? Its danger is unpredictable, and you and I will be in danger. ”

Takeuchi was a little skeptical of Fu Ji Xianli's ability, which was not surprising, after all, he seemed to be just a young man who had come to travel, and he didn't even have professional props on him.

"Don't worry, I'm a professional no matter what...... This way, I can prove my ability, but I need a little prop. ”

As he spoke, Fu Jixianli stood up, and then searched for it in this living room.

Soon, he found something suitable for a "demonstration" - it was a metal bat in a corner of the room.

Fu Jixian waved the bat casually, and then said, "Don't mind if I borrow it." ”

"Feel free."

Fu Jixian Rihei raised his bat, and Takeuchi stared closely at his movements.

At first, Takeuchi was a little baffled, but soon he noticed the anomaly and became shocked.

With a harsh metal grinding sound, the bat began to twist and stretch rapidly, turning red as if it had been stuffed into a furnace, and after only a few seconds, it turned into a twist flower—or rather, it was more like a "spiral sword".

Fu Jixianli let go of his hand, and the high-temperature metal directly pierced the solid wood floor under his feet, and then ignited the surroundings.

"This ...... How can it be...... How? ”

Striking iron with bare hands? It's really beyond imagination.

"Well, it takes a little bit of finesse.

But it's not important, it's ...... I should be worth believing it, right? ”

Fu Jixian said with a smile, but he didn't give a corresponding explanation.

His ability, in relatively technical terms, should be "telekinesis" or "telekinesis", to exert force on objects without any physical contact - and the scale and magnitude of this "force" seem to be exaggerated.

After all, the so-called special power is something that cannot be seen or touched, and it is difficult to describe the lack of cognitive concepts, so how to control it, how to present it, and more importantly, how not to cause unwarranted damage and so on, is not an easy task.

And Fu Jixian's method is......

Imagine.

Imagine concentrating that power around you and giving it a specific form.

What is difficult to explain conceptually is presented in concrete form through imagination, through which Fu Jixian has obtained the extension of his limbs and abilities......
