It didn't take long for Kitagawa Temple to find a path hidden in the weeds.

The road looked like it hadn't been tread for a long time, and it felt a little barren in the yellow and green weeds and thorns.

This should have been a path from the village to the outside world at that time.

As for whether there are other roads, it is not clear to Kitagawa Temple.

In the morning, a little heat floated, and the cold turned into water droplets when it was heated, making the path leading to the outside world in the former god village extremely muddy, and the hiking boots specially changed by Beichuan Temple were full of yellow mud when they stepped on it, and when they were pulled out again, they also wasted some strength.

Kitagawa Temple lifted his feet, recorded the route, and continued to grope forward with a wooden stick.

With such a slow pace, it took nearly three hours for Kitagawa Temple to reach the outskirts of the village.

Beichuan Temple stopped and looked around.

He was now standing on the road in the middle of the ridge, and for nine years the road had grown sporadically with grass everywhere.

The fields on both sides of the field have been barren because they have not been taken care of for too long, and the river of the Kamizugawa River is still flowing quietly, flowing downstream from the right hand side of Kitagawa Temple, and from his point of view, he can still see that the waterwheel that has fallen off a lot of leaves is still squeaking and rotting.

Kitagawa Temple pondered that if he estimated that as long as he touched it, the water windmill that had been almost rotten would fall down.

He threw down the sticks and walked along the road towards the village.

Two small canals were deliberately dug in the village, and the water of the Shenzhu River poured into the ridges of each house, so that it looks like a bit of Japanese pastoral style.

It's just that some of the waterways in the middle have not been cleaned for a long time and have been clogged with silt.

Kitagawa Temple walks all the way to the village.

Gradually, the field of vision narrowed, and all kinds of quaint Japanese-style wooden buildings came into view.

"Remember that the mudslide accident in the village of God should have been 09 years, right? Why not use more convenient building materials such as concrete and steel bars, but instead use wood as a structural material? ”

Most of the villages in the village are composed of vermilion and white walls, tile roofs, and wooden frames.

He would have understood that Kitagawa Temple was walking in a village during the Taisho period, but the village remained until 2009 when it was hit by a mudslide and eventually became a 'ghost village'.

"But why...?" Kitagawa Temple walked among the households.

The entrance is covered with grass, and when you walk inside, you can even see the furniture and beds in the room.

Nothing in the room had been touched, except for the dust that had fallen and the cobwebs that had been clogged, everything remained the same.

The government didn't let anyone come and clean up the village of Shen...

And most importantly, what about mudslides?

Beichuan Temple just climbed high and looked into the distance, and there was no trace of the mudslide alluvium, and the villagers of the whole village seemed to have evaporated out of thin air.

Mystery after mystery poured in, and all signs showed that the world seemed to have really forgotten the village.

Kitagawa Temple covered his nose and went out.

There was a strange smell in the room, it was supposed to be the smell of mold and decaying wood, and inhaling too much was not a good thing for the body.

And...

This should be an ordinary household, and it doesn't look like a god or a house at all.

The purpose of Kitagawa Temple is to explore the secrets of the past between the Anomiya family and the Kamiji family.

"Since they are two of the most prestigious in this village... That should be there. ”

Kitagawa Temple went out and looked up.

In the middle of the street is a three-story Japanese-style building rising from the ground.

The building is surrounded by one- and two-story Japanese-style houses, and stands quietly.

Below the three-story Japanese-style building, there is a half-broken wall, and from here, you can even see the dilapidated scene of the courtyard.

"Could it be that the Shenzhu family and the Ma Gong family share the same mansion?" Kitagawa Temple muttered to himself.

He was about to take a step, but suddenly his expression moved, and he turned to look around.

Person...

Countless gray-faced villagers stood on either side of him at some point.

Everyone had silent expressions on their faces, and only the whites of their eyes were left looking at the Shen Zhu family in front of them.

And Beichuan Temple is located right in the middle of this group of people.

The moment these 'people' came out, Beichuan Temple first felt that his body was stiff, and then in the dead air rotation, he could be regarded as breaking free.

"It's... Afterimage? Kitagawa Temple's eyes widened.

Remnants of hundreds of people!!

With such a huge scale and such a strong longing, even he was affected in an instant!

It's no wonder that Eisuke Hirasaka and Chitose Watanabe can't help but follow these afterimages.

Beichuan Temple immediately decided to take two steps back.

He slowly lifted his phone—

Click.

He decisively took the picture.

The remnants of the spirit are clearly visible in the photo, and the terrifying condensed thoughts can even be used for mobile phone images.

The 'villagers' did not show any expression at the act of taking pictures of Kitagawa Temple, and just walked forward silently.

Of course, the afterimage is just a phenomenon produced by the condensation of people's thoughts at that time.

Under the gaze of Beichuan Temple, each remnant disappeared like spring and white snow at the moment when it was about to step into the god's residence.

The next moment, the system's cold prompt sounded:

The Curse Bundle quest 'Flower of Soul Attraction' begins.

'System Prompt: You find that the information you have painstakingly investigated is only the tip of the iceberg of the unpleasant history of the Divine Village, the workers who have been treated as 'human pillars', the savage and bloody rituals hidden in the darkness, the unknown past, the village that remains the same, all of which make you shudder. ’

But you are now caught in the thick of it, and the curse has been in your bones before you know it as you continue to investigate, and you can only escape by revealing what you have hidden. ’

'Quest Completion Condition: Investigate the truth about the Divine Residency in the village. ’

'Quest Complete Reward: Soul Attraction Flower. ’

"Bundle tasks?" It was the first time that Beichuan Temple had heard such a term, and he subconsciously swept the text description on it.

There are so many tasks involved in just one god village.

One task is the 'curse' task on Hitomi Asamiya's body, and the other task is the current 'Flower of Soul Attraction'.

Kitagawa Temple put away his mobile phone, took off all the cold and hiking boots on his body, and changed into sneakers and clothes that are easy to move.

He slowly walked towards the towering three-story vermilion wall and wind building, and an indescribable chill gradually rose on his body.

Intuition tells Kitagawa Temple that even if this building does not belong to the Manomiya family or the Shinjuji family, it definitely hides some secrets of the past.

Let him explore it today.
