“... What's going on with this issue number? Beichuan Temple glanced at the issue number according to the pace just now.

The issue that started with the Shin Village newspaper was numbered 58th, but this edition jumped straight out of the 59th issue and came to the 60th issue.

Kitagawa Temple stood up and rummaged.

61、62、64...

There are also some missing issues in the back.

There were 59 issues missing. ’

Beichuan Temple sighed slightly in his heart, but his expression was still restrained, and he turned around to look at the 60th issue.

Fortunately, these 60 journals also recorded some local customs and customs about the village of God, which made Beichuan Temple also slightly relieved.

I saw a small black headline on the far left of the page, which read:

'Shocked! The hidden customs of the gods in the village. ’

In the previous issue, we introduced the mysterious and terrifying customs of the Divine Village, and this time I will introduce some rumors that have spread in the Divine Village. ’

It seems that there is some kind of terrible traditional ritual that has been passed down in the historical Shinkomi Village, and the only thing that can be known is that no one who is not from the Asakanomiya family or the Shinkomi family is not able to know the specific rituals. However, these two families have extremely high prestige in the village, and the villagers of the Divine Residence are all subordinate to the two families, and it is impossible to get some news from the villagers. ’

'Isolated village, very xenophobic villagers. ’

What is hidden after that... What else... It seems that no one knows anything except for the two families. ’

The only thing that can be heard is that when all the soul-attracting flowers in the shrine bloom, the calamity can be stopped. ’

This concludes the account of God's residency.

Seeing this, Kitagawa Temple glanced at the next issue of the newspaper again, and after finding that there was no news about the village of God on it, he shook his head regretfully.

If there is no shortage of publications, you may be able to understand the secrets of the original village of God.

Kitagawa Temple calmed down, thinking and digesting the information he had just obtained.

Indeed, as he deduced, there was indeed some kind of ancient bloody ritual in the village of the gods.

'Xenophobic villagers', 'ancient rituals', 'the connection between the Anomiya family and the Shinju family'.

The mysteries are revealed.

But the most important thing is the last sentence of the newspaper.

'When all the soul-attracting flowers in the shrine bloom, woe will also come. ’

What does this mean?

Literally, the blooming of the 'Soul Attracting Flower' can suppress or prevent the coming of calamity.

"There are too few clues now." Kitagawa Temple shook his head and did not jump to conclusions.

He carefully looked at the small two hundred or so words, trying to deduce something from them, but in the end he found nothing, and he could only copy specific key words and words into his notebook.

And just as Beichuan Temple got up and was about to put the newspaper back, a hoarse and old voice sounded beside Beichuan Temple.

"Oops... It turned out to be the Island Road Folk News Newspaper... I really miss it, at that time, the only newspaper was an entertainment newspaper, and other newspapers couldn't bring freshness to the students at all. ”

Beichuan Temple looked back, but found an old man leaning over with a kind face.

Maybe it's because the person is old, the old man coughed, and said in a babbling voice:

"There are very few young people like you who pay attention to folklore... Ay... Nowadays, young people are particularly fond of some novel and exaggerated things, but they have completely forgotten some cherished history. Like that grandson of mine, he doesn't even know about the island road fireworks award, alas. ”

The old man sighed heavily.

"Does the old gentleman know anything? Something about these newspapers in my hands. Kitagawa Temple turned around and asked.

If this old man had the 59th edition of the folklore newspaper missing, it would have done Beichuan Temple a great favor.

"I don't have a habit of collecting newspapers..."

"That's right..."Kitagawa Temple was a little disappointed.

The clue was in front of him, but he couldn't grasp it.

The old gentleman saw the disappointed face of Beichuan Temple, and then continued: "The Folk News Newspaper has not closed down, I know the address of the current Folk News Newspaper, where there must still be newspaper spare parts that were printed out before. ”

"Oh?" Kitagawa Temple's eyes lit up.

It is also very normal for each newspaper to keep a complete newspaper in its headquarters, which can be used for comparison in future newspaper publications.

But what Kitagawa Temple didn't expect was that this newspaper, which started in the Meiji period, has not closed down until now.

The old gentleman gave a specific address, and Kitagawa Temple wrote it down, and after thanking him repeatedly, he left the city library.

It was now more than four o'clock in the afternoon, and it took more than two hours for Beichuan Temple to search for information.

"It took some time, but I also got valuable information."

The address of the Folk News newspaper -

Beichuan Temple took a look, opened Google Maps and looked at the specific transportation plan, took the bus and left.

......

The time to arrive at the Folk News newspaper office was just half past four.

At this time, the folk news newspaper was still working.

Beichuan Temple no longer hesitated, and walked to the front desk of the newspaper office to explain the intention.

"A survey of the university's folk customs... Right? "There was no accident for the young lady who worked at the front desk.

"Hmm." Kitagawa Temple nodded expressionlessly.

He was already good-looking, tall, and the cold and hard temperament on his face added a strong feeling of masculinity to him, and the hostess at the front desk swallowed her saliva and hurriedly helped Beichuan Temple to register her identity.

After all, the predecessor of their newspaper was to do folklore reporting, and students like Beichuan Temple, not to mention one a day, but one or two a week.

In addition, the clubs in Japan do not stop others from visiting. Because some people came to visit, it also shows that the performance of this club is gratifying.

After registering the identity of Beichuan Temple, the newspaper staff easily gave Beichuan Temple a pass to visit, and then told him the location of the old newspaper storage room.

Kitagawa Temple handed over the backpack to the front desk staff and went in with only a notepad and a carbon pen.

The old newspaper storage room is a boxy, but twenty-square-meter small room, coupled with the accumulation of paper materials in it, makes people a little unsparing.

The newspapers kept here are undoubtedly much more complete than those in the city library.

Not only can you find the 59 issues of the newspaper that are missing, but you can also find the newspaper numbers from 1 to 13 that are missing from the municipal library.

Looking at the 59 issues of the newspaper in his hand, Beichuan Temple was fortunate.

After a series of investigations, I was finally able to understand some of the secrets of the former god village in the village.

With this inexplicable complex emotion, Beichuan Temple raised his hand and opened this hard-won newspaper.
