Chapter 326. Sea of Trees... (8,000 words goal achieved)
After three minutes, Tricolorin Kitano took out the photo album and diary and placed them in front of Kamiya Mirai and Kitagawa Temple.
"See for yourselves." Mishinoin Kitano walked to the sink and washed his hands, then sat down again.
Kitagawa Temple and Kamiya Mirai look at the diary in front of them.
The diary is very well kept, and the cover is bound in rudimentary brown cardboard, which looks quite old.
Kitagawa Temple took the diary over, and under the curious gaze of Kamiya Mirai next to him, he swept it away at a glance-
This diary is estimated to have been bought by Ihiki Miko after she came to Ibaraki Prefecture, and it records her memories with the father of the Tenko of Sanshikiin, and there is little mention of the past in Iki Island.
She writes a lot, and she writes a whole page as soon as she writes, especially later when her body is getting weaker and weaker, and she writes more and more things to pass the time.
Even Kamiya Mirai was dazzled by the dense words on it, but Kitagawa Temple didn't care at all, just turned it back page by page with a calm expression.
Under this kind of high-intensity reading, this diary was seen by Kitagawa Temple for ten minutes.
The last page of the diary does not elaborate much, leaving only one paragraph.
I never regretted marrying my husband and I never asked for forgiveness. I only deserve to be the way I am. So it's time like this, I think I should be able to die calmly, right? β
'Please forgive the Son of Heaven, she is just a child. That's my only wish. She's my concern in the world, please... Forgive her.
'The name of Ihan represents endless suffering, and I want to escape from it...'
'Thank you very much Bei Nai for helping us for a long time, really thank you very much. β
'Take care of the Son of Heaven, Yo. β
'I'm... I... It's coming back. β
This paragraph is left cleanly on the paper, and it looks very conspicuous.
Sansein Yu, this is the name of the father of the Son of Heaven in Sansein.
But now there is a strange suspicion.
The words 'I never regret marrying my husband' are written on it, so is it possible that marrying an outsider on Ihan Island is such an unforgivable thing?
I deserve to be the way I am... The tone here exudes a feeling that has been expected for a long time, could it be a curse or something?
If it is a curse, it will naturally be difficult to solve, after all, to solve the curse, it is necessary to solve the source of the curse. It's like the curse of the god stationed in the village that Hitomi Asamiya is entangled in, and it can only be suppressed under good thoughts, but it can't be completely eliminated.
But the most concerning thing is really the last sentence.
'I'm coming back, I'm coming back. What does this mean? Kitagawa Temple also saw in the materials of Hayakawa Makoto's investigation that Iki Miko should be buried in Ibaraki Prefecture.
Kitagawa Temple looked up silently.
Kitanomasa of the Tricolor Temple looked at the words on the diary with a complicated expression.
I think she has also read this diary, so she thought of going to Ihan Island to find the parents of the Son of Heaven in the Tricolor Temple.
However, due to time, money, and the Son of Tricolor Courtyard himself, she did not go to Cheng Yihan Island.
It's no wonder that the Son of Heaven of the Tricolor Courtyard has a slightly unnatural expression when he mentions his aunt, and his speech is also stumbling.
Now it seems that the three-color courtyard Beino really adopted her as his own daughter.
As if sensing the gaze of Kitagawa Temple, Kitano of the Tricolor Temple took a breath:
"The first wrong thing I ever did was probably to speak ill of my brother and her. It's just that my brother and her, when they heard what I said, just kept a very warm smile, and the smile I remember the most is that kind of smile. β
The Tricolor Courtyard Bei Nai raised his head: "The second wrong thing is to let the Son of Heaven live alone, and that kind of thing happened..."
There was unspeakable sorrow in her eyes.
She blamed herself for the death of the Son of Tricolor.
Because for a period of time, she easily thought of her deceased brother and sister-in-law just by looking at the Son of Heaven in the Tricolor Temple, which exacerbated the pain in her heart, so during that time, she also handed over the Son of Heaven to others to take care of.
After that, he directly let the adult Tricolor Temple Tianzi live alone, and then there was an accident.
It's been a year since the death of the Son of Heaven in the Tricolor Temple, and she doesn't know how she survived this year.
Remorse and grief condensed in her heart, weighing her out of breath.
The only thing I can say is I'm sorry.
But the Son of Heaven of the Tricolor Courtyard is dead, and it feels like nothing to say anything.
She clasped her hands together and couldn't say a word.
Kitagawa Temple did not comfort the Tricolor Temple Kitano.
After all, in fact, the Son of Heaven of the Tricolor Courtyard survived in another form, and now he still looks very energetic.
It is estimated that the emperor of the three-color courtyard also expected his aunt to show such an expression, so he showed an expression of refusal.
If you have time, it would be a good choice to bring the Son of Heaven of the Tricolor Temple over and let her meet her aunt.
Kitagawa Temple lowered his head again and stretched his palm to the photo album on the table.
A considerable part of the album is a photo of the Tenko of Sanshiin Temple when he was a child, and only a small part is a photo of the island of Ihan.
The island is electrified, and at night the lighthouse is flickering, the jungle is deep, and the Japanese style buildings are numerous, which has a mysterious atmosphere.
The folk dance in the village.
Bonfires at night.
Strange kaji-pattern.
These photos don't strictly mean anything, but Kitagawa Temple still keeps them all in mind.
On the other side, Miku Kamiya was holding a notebook, jotting down some points that she cared about.
After looking at the album, Kitagawa Temple handed it back to Kitano of Sanshikiin Temple and began to ask, "May I ask Ms. Sanshikiin if you still remember the human form that Ms. Ihan left behind?" β
"You're talking about the one that the Son of Heaven has always carried, right?" Tricolor Yuan Kitano asked, then took out the cigarette case from his trouser pocket and asked, "Before I tell you, I want to smoke one, no problem, right?" β
"Please." Kitagawa Temple stretched out his hand to signal.
Uh-
She took a puff of a lady's cigarette: "What do you want to ask?" Humanoid generational things? β
"To be exact, it's a wooden box in the shape of a human." Kitagawa Temple looked at the three-color temple Kitano: "The engraving on it makes us a little concerned, so I want to ask if it is a product of the local customs of Ms. Yihan's hometown." β
"I clearly remember that she sewed it by hand, and it was stuffed with the hair of the Son of Heaven and the umbilical cord. said that this can make the puppet bear the suffering that she does not have to bear instead of the Son of Heaven. As for the wooden box... I think she brought it from Ihan. β
It seems that the wooden box is indeed something that Ihi Miko brought from Ihi Island.
Kitagawa Temple glanced at the future of the Divine Valley.
When Kitano said this, Kamiya Mirai's face was also a little more worried.
Now it has been basically determined that the mother of the Son of Heaven of the Tricolor Temple is indeed a resident of Ihan Island.
In other words, Kitagawa Temple's inference has been largely correct so far.
There may be something hidden on the island.
Kamiya Mirai still maintains basic calmness on the surface, but in his heart, he has actually made a fuss.
It was the first time she felt so powerless that Kitagawa Temple didn't listen to what Kitano said to Mishikiin Kitano later, and left in a daze.
Looking at her confused expression, Kitagawa Temple directly patted Kamiya Mirai's cheeks.
"Uhhhh
Seeing that she finally came back to her senses, Beichuan Temple spoke: "It's not sure whether your parents are in danger or not, maybe everything is our own thinking too much, your parents are conducting research on local customs and folklore in a safe area." β
"That's right." Kamiya Mirai nodded reluctantly.
You can't be so pessimistic about everything, maybe nothing happened to your parents?
Kitagawa Temple nodded to her.
"Let's go back to Tokyo for the time being, go to your parents' room to find out the information about Ihan Island, and find out the location and satellite phone. If something happens..."
His voice was low, and his black eyes looked south:
"I'll just go to Okinawa."
Beichuan Temple's words made Kamiya Mirai can't help but raise his head.
The other party still has that calm and cold appearance, exactly the same as when she first met the other party.
But it's a little different.
At first, Kitagawa Temple would not have said such a thing.
Kamiya Miku pinched her fingers, her knuckles were a little white, and after a long time, she walked up in two steps, hugged the back of Kitagawa Temple, and buried her face in it.
A faint nasal voice followed.
"Hmm. Temple-kun. β
......
Kitagawa Temple and Kamiya Mirai took a ride back to Tokyo overnight.
After all, Kamiya Mirai doesn't have the same playful mood as he did at the beginning.
She was anxious to know what was going on with her parents on the island of Ihi.
Seeing her nervous look, Kitagawa Temple also withdrew his gaze and turned to look at Nishikujo who was lying by his collar.
Nishikujo Pity obviously noticed Kamiya Miku's nervousness, buttoned up and looked at Kamiya Miku with big eyes, wanting to comfort the other party but didn't know how to comfort him, so he could only stand up anxiously and tug at Kitagawa Temple's collar.
Fortunately, this bus is a night bus, and most of the people have closed their eyes to rest, otherwise seeing her walking around like this is probably an urban legend of a night bus.
Beichuan Temple stretched out his finger and poked Nishikujo's poor little head, and then thought of his Beichuan mother, who had been doing clothing design abroad all the year round and would only come back once or twice during the Chinese New Year.
I don't know how she's doing now.
After this incident, let's find a time to call her and ask about the situation.
I also hope that Kamiya's future parents are safe and sound.
At least Kitagawa Temple still has a good impression of Kamiya's future parents.
The taciturn Osamu Kamiya, the lively and active Chihiro Kamiya, who lives like a high school student...
If he loses these two people, Kamiya will probably not be happy in the future.
Kitagawa Temple closed his eyes as he thought about it.
The ticket to Okinawa tomorrow has been purchased, and if something happens to Kamiya's future parents, they will fly to Okinawa immediately.
Obviously, I was scheduled to travel during the summer vacation, but now it seems that the May Day Golden Week will be experienced in advance.
The bus continued on, quiet in the interior, except for the occasional cough and the sound of a small conversation.
The night was quiet -
After an hour, Kitagawa Temple followed Kamiya Mirai to her home.
As soon as he entered his home, Kamiya Mirai rushed up the stairs with small steps and ran directly to his parents' study.
A little girl like her, who has a little cleanliness fetish, now rushed into the house without even changing her slippers.
Kitagawa Temple followed each other, and suddenly came to the study of Osamu Kamiya and Chihiro Kamiya.
As soon as I entered the study, I felt an unusual atmosphere.
"Is this...?" Kitagawa Temple's eyes flashed with a pitch-black dead air.
Under the vision of death, Beichuan Temple clearly saw several complicated patterns engraved on the bookshelves and on the corners of the walls.
These lines seem to be able to gather good thoughts, and in the long run, they should make people's brains smart and their physique enhanced.
It's no wonder that Kamiya Miku looks so iconic and has a smart mind, which has already been grasped since he was a baby.
Kitagawa Temple's expression was slightly invigorated.
Osamu Kamiya and Chihiro Kamiya really have special abilities.
The last time he came to the door with a voodoo doll, he noticed it.
After all, those two people can see the strangeness of voodoo dolls.
But the more this is the case, the more the mood of Kitagawa Temple fluctuates.
Perhaps in the eyes of ordinary people, having extraordinary abilities can increase one's ability to protect oneself outside.
But think about it the other way aroundβhow can a place that requires the investigation of these supernatural abilities be a normal place?
Kitagawa Temple retracted his gaze and walked to the side of Kamiya Mirai.
The other party is busy looking for relevant information.
Although Kitagawa Temple also wanted to help, considering that he didn't know about the configuration of this study, and he didn't know that Osamu Kamiya put the information there, in order not to cause trouble to Kamiya in the future, he didn't have a hand.
After about two minutes, Kamiya Mirai wiped the beads of sweat oozing from his snow-white forehead, and handed a document that he had finally flipped through to Kitagawa Temple:
"This is information about Ihan Island, Si-kun, you can take a look first, I'm going to call my parents' university research team, they should have a satellite phone number."
"It's fine." Seeing her anxious look, Beichuan Temple didn't say anything, just took these materials about Ihan Island, leaned against the bookshelf, and looked carefully.
The data is divided into the first half and the second half.
Kitagawa Temple has the upper part that has been thoroughly studied by Osamu Kamiya and Chihiro Kamiya, and the second half is estimated to have been taken to Ihan Island by them.
This is not to say that the inheritance of Ihi Island has only just begun in the Taisho period, but on the contrary, it is because of its isolation from the rest of the world that only from the Taisho period has anyone actually recorded it. β
This is kind of an introduction.
Osamu Kamiya and Chihiro Kamiya have inserted a color image underneath of a small island with a rocky forest that seems to pull the soul of a person into it.
