Kitagawa Temple and Kamiya Mirai successfully arrived in Okinawa.

But that's just the first step.

The next most important part is to go to the island of Ihan.

There is only one way to get to Ihan Island, and that is by water.

This is undoubtedly a big problem for Kamiya in the future.

After all, even Beichuan Temple didn't know about the situation of the port here, and they didn't know which ships were willing to take them on a ride.

In Kamiya's future estimates, it is estimated that it will take a day or two to travel to Ihan Island alone.

But what about a day or two later?

What will happen to Osamu Kamiya and Chihiro Kamiya?

Kamiya couldn't help but worry about the future.

And then—

"Get on board." Kitagawa Temple said calmly.

Kamiya Mirai was a little stunned.

She just kept following behind Kitagawa Temple, and after watching him talk to the crew of a luxury private yacht, they offered to let them get on board.

Until he sat in the VIP room, Kamiya Mirai was still dizzy, and he didn't know whether he was seasick or simply dizzy from this inexplicable unfolding.

After Kitagawa Temple finished talking with the other party, Kamiya Mirai looked at him and asked with a little trance on his face:

"Temple-kun... Do you know the owner of this yacht? ”

Kitagawa Temple nodded, took out the contents of the backpack, and replied while counting:

"Just acquaintance."

“... Is it. Mirai Kamiya sat down.

She watched as Kitagawa Temple replaced the strong light torch with a new battery, and turned it on and off twice before confidently stuffing it into her backpack.

"You're curious?" Without waiting for Kamiya Mirai to speak, Kitagawa Temple, who was already debugging another flashlight, opened his mouth and asked rhetorically.

“... Well. Mirai Kamiya nodded.

She was a little curious.

What originally took at least two days to solve was solved by Beichuan Temple, how could she not be curious?

Beichuan Temple replied calmly: "Master Daming Guangde." ”

Yes, the owner of this luxury yacht is related to the Akishino Foundation.

After learning that Kamiya's future parents might be trapped on Ihan Island, Kitagawa Temple did not hesitate to use his connections in all aspects.

Nakajima Foundation.

Yuko Yuhara's father and daughter.

Akishino Foundation.

Hayakawa family.

Even the Kitagawa Gojinkai...

This is the reason why Kitagawa Temple did not need monetary rewards before and has been accumulating connections.

At this critical time, none of these families and individuals excused themselves, and basically everyone found a way to do so, and said that they would be willing to let people send Beichuan Temple to Ihan Island even if the weather conditions at sea were bad.

The power of connections is evident at this time.

And in these connections, Kitagawa Temple chose the yacht provided by the little girl Akishino Yuna.

After all, her relationship with herself is more intimate, and it is natural for her to help, and there is no need to return the favor at all.

"Is it Miss Qiu Xiao?"

Kamiya Mirai obviously also has an impression of the natural Yuna Akishino who works with him.

"I'll have to thank her next time we meet." Kamiya Mirai muttered to himself, his eyes shining with brilliance.

No matter what the reason, what should be thanked is still to be thanked, and Yuna Akishino has helped so much, of course she can't turn a blind eye.

Her expression fell into the eyes of Beichuan Temple, and it only made Beichuan Temple turn its head sideways.

He didn't feel much about this, after all, Yuna Akishino owed him more.

Not to mention the establishment of the Beichuan Imperial God Society, just saying that the fact that the Beichuan Temple saved her in the dojo of the Thousand Mirrors Mutual Masonic Association in the first place has already made this girl owe a lot of favors.

Now it's just a part of her to pay it back, it's nothing at all.

Compared with that, Beichuan Temple cares more about what the yacht staff said to him when he went to sea just now-

"You're going to Ihan Island? I've heard that this place seems to be closed lately, sir, you have to think about it, we didn't dare to go near that island during the lockdown... In the past, there were yachts forcibly moored on Yihan Island, but the villagers forcibly detained people and did not allow them to leave. If you want me to see, the villagers on that island are not in their right minds. ”

The latter words were omitted by Kitagawa Temple, and for him, the most important thing was the words spoken by the crew at the front.

Ihan Island is closed.

Doesn't this mean that the day of Ihan is approaching?

It's really in response to the old saying, it's better to come early than to come at a good time.

Kitagawa Temple will try the sapper shovel he just bought.

The length is just right, and it can be folded to be tucked into a backpack.

In addition to the sapper shovel, there are also a lot of wild survival food, as well as flint and steel.

He was well prepared, and if necessary, he could even spend the night in the vast sea of trees.

Thinking of this, Kitagawa Temple looked at Kamiya Miku: "Future, how about the situation I asked you to contact?" ”

Hearing Beichuan Temple's question, Kamiya Mirai came back to his senses and said:

"My parents' colleague said they would pick us up near the port."

"Hmm."

Kitagawa Temple nodded.

Satellite phones can still be used after breaking away from the sea of trees. Kitagawa Temple plans to have Osamu Kamiya and Chihiro Kamiya's colleagues take him to the place of his disappearance.

After that, let him search carefully with dead air.

After all, it is impossible for a living person to disappear directly.

If it really disappeared completely and left no trace, then it must have been forcibly pulled into the spiritual realm.

Kitagawa Temple recalls that he was looking at the photos left behind by Osamu Kamiya and Chihiro Kamiya, and he remembers the photos of the Mishikiin Temple Kitano side of the house.

None of these photographs include the second half of the island.

In addition, there is no access to satellite phones, and the compass cannot be used, which have characteristics that overlap with the spiritual realm...

Here, Kitagawa Temple can also make a small assumption.

Either the villagers of Ihan Island closed off the second half of the island.

Either that, the secluded sea of trees in the second half of Ihan Island has been completely occupied by the spirit realm.

Whatever it is, the things to do at Kitagawa Temple are very simple.

Enter it and find the Kamiya couple.

Having said that, there is still a point that Kitagawa Temple cannot ignore.

The villagers of Ihan Island.

What kind of attitude would these villagers, who had a strong belief in the sacred tree, have towards outsiders like him? Even Kitagawa Temple suspects that the reason why the search and rescue team did not achieve results was because the villagers stopped them.

All of this can only be understood when you actually go to the island of Ihan.

After counting everything, Kitagawa Temple came to the deck.

Beichuan Temple held on to the handrail, and the sea breeze with the smell of fish and tide blew by, making him squint his eyes.

The yacht parted the turquoise waves and headed forward.

At the very front of the line of sight of Kitagawa Temple, in the middle of the intersection of the sea and the sky, there is an almost negligible black dot.

That's the destination of Kitagawa Temple this time-

Ihan Island.

......

In about two hours, Kitagawa Temple and Kamiya Mirai saw the whole picture of Ihan Island.

Same as on the photo.

The secluded sea of trees, the Japanese-style mansion built along the overlapping mountain.

There are a few small fishing boats moored in the harbor, perhaps because of the upcoming day of Ihi, so few villagers have gone out to sea to fish.

At the very edge of the dock, Kamiya Miku also found his goal this time with a sharp eye.

Chang Zeqing, who has worked with his parents for a period of time and has also been a guest at the door.

At this time, the other party was taking a few students with the appearance of students, anxiously looking at the sea, as if looking for the future figure of Kamiya.

But the other party obviously didn't expect Kamiya Mirai to come on such a luxury yacht, and it wasn't until the yacht was moored to him that he saw Kamiya Mirai holding the handrail.

The student next to him let out a burst of exclamations, as if he didn't expect that Osamu Kamiya and Chihiro Kamiya, who had been carrying out their research work with him, would have such financial resources.

"Uncle Nagasawa, I haven't seen you for a long time." As soon as Kamiya got off the boat, he said hello to Nagasawa Aoi.

"The future... You..."Nagasawa Qing also looked at Kamiya Mirai with some surprise, and then glanced at the luxury yacht behind her.

These students behind him don't know Kamiya's future family situation, but he knows it clearly, even if the family has small assets, he doesn't think that Kamiya Osamu and Kamiya Chihiro can buy a yacht.

"I'll explain these things later, and I'd like to ask about my parents now." Mirai Kamiya spoke hurriedly.

As soon as this topic was mentioned, Chang Zeqing was speechless.

He looked at Mirai Kamiya and shook his head lightly: "The rescue team has tried, but no body has been found, and it can basically be confirmed that it is missing." ”

And just as he was about to continue, a voice interjected into the conversation without hurrying: "No body found, right?" ”

Kitagawa Temple, who had already communicated with the crew to pick them up, stepped off the yacht step by step.

He came to Chang Zeqing and repeated again: "May I ask Mr. Chang Ze, did you not find the body?" ”

"Are you...?" Chang Zeqing looked at the young man in front of him, thought about it several times, and touched his head a little strangely after realizing that he didn't know such a person.

"His name is Beichuan Temple, and this time I was able to come directly thanks to Sijun." Kamiya Mirai introduced at the right time on the side.

If it were usual, she would probably have to worry about whether to add a 'boyfriend' before introducing Beichuan Temple, but now she doesn't have that mind at all.

"It turned out to be Kitagawa-kun." Chang Zeqing nodded, and then said, "About your parents in the future... It may not be a good thing to say here, so let's go to our rented camp first. But before that, I also had a reluctant request, hoping that Kitagawa-kun would agree. ”

Nagasawa Qing looked at Beichuan Temple.

His request was simple, to let the Kitagawa Temple let the yacht leave with the students.

Because of the upcoming Ihan Day, there have been few ships coming to Ihan Island recently, and the disappearance of Mr. and Mrs. Kamiya and an investigator has caused the students to be emotionally unstable and want to go back early, so there is a scene where the students and teachers come to the dock together.

They didn't want to meet Kamiya Future, but wanted to go back soon.

This request is reasonable, but in the current situation, there is a sense of indifference.

After all, his teacher over there has just disappeared, and he wants to leave here, so it's a little unreasonable.

The diaphragm in my heart should be the diaphragm, but Beichuan Temple still agreed.

After all, keeping this group of students is just a drag, and it has no effect on the search and rescue work.

It's better to let them get out of the way as soon as possible.

After sending off those students, Kitagawa Temple and Kamiya Mirai officially came to the camp that Nagasawa Aoi was talking about.

It is said to be a campsite, but it is actually a vacant house rented from local residents. It's not a bad environment, but it's not that good either.

He first beckoned Kitagawa Temple and Kamiya Mirai to take a seat, and then circled around the empty room twice before closing the sliding door and walking back.

His vigilant look made Kamiya Mirai show a somewhat strange expression.

After all, Chang Zeqing looked like she was guarding against something, which made her a little incomprehensible.

Perhaps sensing Kamiya's future expression, Nagasawa Qing rubbed his hands, intending to explain-

"I'm guarding against the villagers."

Kitagawa Temple, who had been silent, spoke: "From the moment I and the future got off the boat, I felt that someone was watching us in the dark, and just now, someone followed us for a long time, and they didn't leave until Mr. Nagasawa walked around the outside twice. ”

"Kitagawa-kun's observation is truly amazing." Nagasawa Qing was secretly shocked by the observation power of Kitagawa Temple.

He coughed dryly, and his face became extremely heavy:

"In fact, as Kitagawa-kun said, we were being watched by the villagers of Ihan Island."

About three days ago, after the disappearance of Mr. and Mrs. Kamiya and an investigator teacher, Nagasawa had already discovered that someone was secretly monitoring their movements.

And when he called the rescue team, he was directly intervened by the villagers.

They fabricated false information and told the rescue team to go in another direction.

This will of course be a flurry.

That's why those students are so uneasy that they want to run away.

After all, on such an isolated island, there is still such a strange group of villagers making things difficult... It's just a standard horror movie start.

Abnormal villagers, normal people... The isolated desert island, coupled with the strange and strange folk customs here, may have been involved in some kind of incident at some point...

The sense of déjà vu of this kind of horror movie not only makes students uneasy, but even Chang Zeqing doesn't dare to sleep too hard, for fear that he will be tied up by this group of villagers as a sacrifice for something.

"Actually, I don't want you to come over in the future this time, since you can leave here, then of course it's best to leave here." Chang Zeqing sighed: "These villagers are not normal, and it seems that they have reached an agreement with some big people around them, as long as we don't do anything particularly excessive, our help is useless at all." ”

When this sentence came out, it gave Kamiya mirai goosebumps.

Because just now—

She also saw a vague figure swaying outside the window.
