Just when I was still amazed by this incredible speed, my body suddenly sank, my feet fell down empty, and the air resistance from the bottom up turned into a strong wave of air slapping on my jaw, making me chill all over my body at the same time, every inch of my skin was numb, and the strong sense of weightlessness made people subconsciously want to scream and wave their limbs wildly.

But before I could scream, my body went from falling rapidly to stationary again - in just two or three seconds, Sha and I had fallen from a height of 100 meters to the surface of the Yokonaka River, and when our feet were less than two meters away from the lake, the gravitational acceleration and gravitational pull from the earth disappeared instantly, and Sha and I once again ignored gravity and stayed in the air for two meters, with a clear lake with slight ripples under our feet.

"Fold! It's a fold! And the yarn is also there! ”

Before I could make out what was going on around me, a familiar soft voice came from the side. I turned my head and saw a flat-bottomed boat moored on the lake four or five meters away from us, and there were six people sitting or standing on the boat, all of whom could be considered my acquaintances—the two brothers Koi Yuki and Koi Ya, as well as Tsuyoshi Wada, Toru Inoue, Reiko Inoue, and Naoki Yamashita, the four children who were very close to me before Rieto Yokoyama died.

The sudden arrival of me and Saya seemed to be completely unexpected, with Reiko Inoue holding on to the boat gang and pointing at me and Sasa in surprise, and the other three children I knew well looked at me and Sasa with the same surprised expressions.

As for the two brothers, Koi and Ya Koi, their faces were gloomy, and when they both noticed that I was looking at them, they even shrank up and trembled in panic. Xiao Jing even closed his eyes and muttered with a pale face: "It's not us...... Not me...... It's nothing to do with me......"

"You ...... How did it end up here? ”

When I saw Tsuyoshi Wada and the four children, I couldn't help frowning and thinking about it, only to realize that there were no four children in the crowd of people who had taken refuge in the ice palace before, but I was feeling uneasy and irritated by the sudden disappearance of Jing at that time, and I didn't notice this situation at all.

Inoue Reiko raised her hand "hi" and muttered happily: "Liren!" It's a rational person! Fold, the reason is not dead! He was the one who made us come over and play with him! ”

Rational people?!

Suddenly hearing the name of the dead child, a chill spread from my back to my whole body, and some clues in my memory suddenly connected together-why only Rito's memory was not erased by the Education Committee, and why after Rito's death, the adults of the relevant families immediately took measures to make those children no longer close to me-I thought it was because the children gathered around me were being dealt with too much, and now I think about it...... Maybe it's not me who they think is dangerous, but the kid Liren.

I can be sure that the man fell into the water and died, not suicide. But after his death, the memory of him was not erased by the Board of Education, which is extremely unreasonable - unless, the man is not dead.

Wrong......

My eyes fell on Brother Koi, and another clue came to mind, which was the result of what the two brothers had behaved in this morning, and what Mamura had said to me after they had spoken to Mamura—that the Oi brothers were trying to resurrect humans with magic powers, and even achieve the goal of eternal life.

Such...... Everything is strung together.

His body was not found after he fell into the river, so his life and death could not be confirmed, perhaps for this reason, the Board of Education did not erase his relevant memories. And the rational ...... Unable to determine whether he was alive or dead, he was swept downstream by the river, perhaps rescued by the two brothers of Koi-based - from normal psychology, if Rito was still alive and woke up at that time, the two brothers would not have dared to hide him.

Judging from the clues that the two brothers were trying to study the resurrection of the dead, it is possible that Rito had died at that time and was actually resurrected by the two brothers.

However, I don't believe that the resurrection of the dead is such an easy thing, so maybe it can be inferred from another level, at that time, Liren was in a state of medical suspended animation, and various physiological characteristics were extremely weak, so the two brothers mistakenly thought that he was dead, so the two brothers who happened to be conducting corresponding research boldly hid the corpse for experimental purposes, and finally coincidentally woke up Liren in a state of suspended animation.

The more I thought about it, the more chilling my heart became, and I subconsciously turned my head to look at the yarn, only to find that she was pressing her soft hat and staring at the two brothers, Koi and Koi Ya, with a gaze as calm as stagnant water. When I looked at her, she also glanced at me expressionlessly: "Yokoyama Rito? Where did he go? ”

Her voice was the opposite of what it used to be, as if it had been rendered by frost, with a chill that could make people feel uneasy.

"Just now, a man attacked our boat with a spell on the lake, and then ...... He...... And he caught up with him. ”

It was Koi who answered, he stood up with a wry smile, and staggered his hand to the southeast, that is, the direction of the lower reaches of the river: "If you want to save people, then please do it as soon as possible, my brother and I can't help much...... Our bodies are completely immobile. ”

"Attack suppression?"

The lips of the yarn pursed into cold lines, and the eyes reflecting the starlight and moonlight were as cold as the babbling lake under your feet: "You two tried to attack him? ”

"Right...... I'm sorry...... We're just ...... Just ......"

Koi's face became more and more pale, he folded his arms uncontrollably, and his whole body twitched: "He killed Mr. Kawakami...... It was he who killed Mr. Kawakami...... No, it's our ...... that killed."

His voice was full of intense pain and self-hatred, and the sound of his breathing became heavier and heavier like a bellows.

Seeing Koi's uncomfortable appearance, I was about to speak out to comfort him, but before I could speak, the hurried voice of Sa's mantra came into my ears. Then a wave of water like an arrow surged on the surface of the lake, shot straight out of the air, and struck Xiao Jingxu's body trembling all over his body, knocking him to the ground in one fell swoop.

"If you don't want to be ashamed, calm down."

After knocking Koi to the ground with water, Yarn looked at Koiya, who seemed calmer, and said, "Tell me everything you know." ”

Koi Ya stepped forward to help his brother up, and when Saya asked him, he showed a wary look: "What ...... we?"

"Mi, tell them everything."

Xiao Jing interrupted his brother's words and shook his head with a wry smile: "I can't hide it, don't lie anymore." ”

Koi Ya fell silent, and after an interval of more than ten seconds, he gasped heavily, and began to narrate: "The matter is about more than two months, at that time, my grandfather had just died, and my brother and I were in a bad mood, so we went boating at the deep water bend where the Suqing River and the Huanchuan River meet. Around the end of the afternoon, a corpse was washed down from the upper reaches of the Soqing River, and when I saw it, I used my magic to scoop it up. ”

"We were scared and wanted to hand over the body to the town office. But...... We hid the bodies and embalmed them in a frozen way. After that, my brother and I began experimenting with various animals to see if we could resurrect the dead with mana. At the beginning, we thought that the reason why people die is because the body is damaged, so as long as the broken parts are repaired, can't the dead be brought back to life? ”

"We conduct experiments on various animals, transferring intact organs from the same animals to the bodies of dead animals, replacing damaged organs, and then activating the heart with mana, and then injecting the right blood to restore blood circulation in the organism...... But no matter how well it is done, creatures cannot be resurrected. Then we realized that in addition to restoring circulation in the body, there is also a need for repair in the brain. ”

"The structure of the human brain is very different from that of other animals, and when we realized this, we chose a creature with a similar structure to the human brain, killed them, and used them for research. They are ......"

Koi Ya suddenly stopped talking, his mouth squirming, as if there was something unspeakable.

"It's a rat."

Sati Koi Ya said the answer, he sighed, nodded in acquiescence. And the moment I heard this sentence, my left eyelid fluttered: "You stepped out of the rope to kill and hunt rats?" ”

"Yes."

Koi Ya nodded again, he put his palms together and rubbed gently: "In the vicinity of Oak Forest Township, there is a dragon lice mouse nest closest to the town...... We killed the worker rats they were out gathering food, but one escaped. ”

I see......

I slowly closed my eyes, presumably the worker rat that escaped was the one rescued by Mamura.

"After capturing a few live rats and the corpses of some rats, we started to study their brain structure and do various experiments on them."

"You succeeded?"

After realizing that this matter had a lot to do with me, my heart became a little anxious.

"No, it failed. Our attempts didn't work. ”

Koi Ya shook his head in denial, which made me wonder in my heart: "The corpse ...... That is, how was he resurrected? ”

"Resurrection? If you can resurrect people so easily, how can it be your turn to study these little ghosts who have not graduated from the whole class. ”

Sa's tone was cold, as if to refute the child's naïve fantasy: "He should have fallen into the water after the injury, and the excessive blood loss and hypothermia caused the brain to fall into a deep coma, and his vital signs almost disappeared." In such a situation, it is normal for imps like you who have not received a professional medical education to judge death as a thing. However, since you used freezing to preserve the corpse, even if he only faked his death at the beginning, I am afraid that you will make him really dead. ”

What she said was almost consistent with my guesses, even thousands of years ago, under the testing of various professional medical equipment, there were many medical accidents in which the death diagnosis was mistakenly issued, let alone these children who did not know anything about the death diagnosis procedure.

Faced with Sa's question, Koi shook his head with fear on his face, his mouth trembling and difficult to speak.

"Three days ago, when my brother and I were distraught by all kinds of failures, we remembered that there was another ...... Human corpses. We decided to take the body out for study. But......

Xiao Jingxu was drenched in the clear river water, and he didn't take off his wet clothes, just shivering in the cold wind with his arms crossed. When he saw Koiya fall silent, he opened his mouth with his teeth fighting: "We originally hid the body in a cave near the coast in Baisha Township, surrounded by either tidal flats or rocks. But when we found it three days ago, there was no snow around, but strange plants had grown, and there was a deep crater in the ground, which was submerged by the sea. ”

"We were startled and tried to drain the sea with our mana, but who knew there was interference. And after that...... He...... He crawled out of the cave like a snake, and everything he touched was twisted and deformed, and the stones would crack and the water would become colorful......"

Karma ......

As I listened to his description, I was reminded of the legend that had been circulating in the town for a long time: that a human child would accumulate sinful karma due to arrogance, and eventually turn into a karmic demon, turning everything he approached and touched into something distorted.

"You talk nonsense! Rational talents are not karmic demons! He touched me just now, and I didn't have anything to do. ”

Just when I was secretly guessing, Wada Gang, who was silent on the side, suddenly spoke, he pointed at the two brothers and shouted angrily: "Maybe you hurt the people!" I didn't dare to let the adults know, so I made up a lie! ”

……

The clues have been revealed, I don't know if anyone guessed in advance......
