Chapter 109: Mysterious Girl
According to the records, nothing was unusual in front of my room, and no one stopped in front of Room 17 from the time I checked in until I heard a knock on the door and slam it open.
Perhaps, that theft was really not man-made, could it be that the royal envoy drove the fox demon to do it?
If that's the case, it would explain why the locked window from the inside was opened and the contents of my backpack were quietly stolen.
It is said that fox demons cannot be seen with the naked eye, and they also have the ability to see and insert needles, no matter how small the gap is, they can squeeze into it.
Although it has not been confirmed that they exist, it is an indisputable fact that in Tohoku Japan, there are shrine maidens of Iizuna envoys.
But why did the envoy set his sights on me? What is their connection to the black box? And most importantly, how did they know that the black box was on me?
There are only two people in Japan who know this secret, one is me and the other is Yumi.
Could it be the secret told by the United States?
I shook my head vigorously, trying to shake off all the doubts in my head, but I couldn't. It seems that tomorrow I really need to visit Inari Shrine near Takayama City......
Inari is a shrine dedicated to foxes, and the belief in foxes in Japan dates back to the Heian period or earlier, and many people believe that fox fairies are gods in charge of agriculture and commerce, perhaps because of the more than 80,000 Inari shrines scattered throughout Japan.
Early in the morning, I approached the manager and asked about the nearby Inari Shrine.
The manager of the hotel immediately sent someone to check, and soon after he took a lot of information, and I looked through it slightly.
There are about 19 Inari Shrines in Takayama City, but they are all small in size, and most of them have only one urn. However, in the forest to the east, there is a large shrine ruins, and I immediately became interested in them.
Just imagine, if I am a shrine maiden from the Northeast, and I have some ulterior motives, although I can blatantly stay in a hotel, or even in the hotel where the target is located, there is still a possibility of being suspected if I do so.
If it is used as a meeting place, of course, I will choose a place that is very private and there are few people, so that the ruins are very useful!
I thought about it for a while, and after making sure that there was a good possibility, I went to the supermarket and bought a lot of stuff to stuff into my backpack and walked towards the ruins.
That place is the only clue I can find now, if I guess wrong, maybe I will get farther and farther away from the stolen black box, and I will never be able to find it again, and then I can only take Zhang Wenyi to run to a city that no one knows, and then the two of them hugged each other, curled up on the bed and waited for the curse to strike, to see who was cut off by the dream demon first.
The day passed, and the night slowly came.
Darkness covered the entire ruins, and the huge fox sculpture stood erect in the ruined hall, looking particularly eerie.
I hid in the shadows, rubbed my already numb legs, had been ambushed here for a whole day, and most of the snacks I brought were also wiped out by myself, but I didn't expect to wait for even a ghost shadow.
I took a deep breath and poured a large gulp of my drink into my mouth, then looked up and looked up at the sky through the collapsed roof.
Sure enough, this is a suburb, the sky is not polluted, and the beauty is a mess.
The bright moon hung high in the sky, and the moon halo was also obvious, reflecting a chaotic and chaotic color. There are very few stars, only a few tertiary stars radiating a faint light.
It's really beautiful! Especially in the eyes of me, who didn't know when I would die suddenly, many ordinary things suddenly made people feel nostalgic.
Ha, I didn't expect that a sane and world-weary person like me is actually afraid of death......
Just as his mind was immersed in the outer space where there was no noise, a sound of footsteps came from far and near. My heart was in my throat, my mind was clear, and my ears were alert to the slightest sound.
The man seemed to be very hesitant, he kept wandering at the entrance of the ruins of the shrine, and then shouted loudly unexpectedly: "Night silence, I know you are inside, come out quickly, someone wants to see you!" ”
It was a very sweet girl, and there was a hint of coldness in that gentleness, which I seemed to have heard somewhere.
Just when I subconsciously wanted to answer, a signal suddenly came out of my head, and I immediately swallowed the sound that rushed to my throat.
It's so dangerous, I almost scared the snake!
The girl waited for a while, and when she saw that no one was following her, she shouted again, "Ye is silent, you guy hurry up and come out for me." Otherwise, I'll throw your black box into the sea." ”
Is there any mistake, she even knows about the black box?! Could it be that this little girl is in front of the imperial envoy from the northeast, that is, she stole my black box?
I couldn't take it anymore and ran out of hiding place.
In the bright moonlight, I saw a girl with a very good figure standing not far away, she looked at my panicked and embarrassed appearance, and couldn't help but show a light smile.
When my eyes came into contact with her indescribably beautiful face, I was immediately stunned.
All I felt was stiffness all over my body and a blank space in my brain.
The girl herself was no stranger, with that smile, that coquettish expression, and slightly pursed plump lips...... Isn't that the girl I picked up when the fox got married?
"What, was it a surprise to see me?" The girl stared at me with bright eyes and took a few steps forward, as if trying to make me see her more clearly.
I finally cleared my chaotic thoughts and asked in a deep voice, "Did you steal my black box?" ”
"It's okay to say that." The girl nodded without hesitation.
"Hmph, I didn't expect you to be in front of the imperial envoy, no wonder the leg that should have been injured would heal so quickly, you borrowed the power of the fox demon! Speaking of which, is that fox marrying a girl also a ghost you did? "I felt like a fool being played around by a woman.
"You seem to have misunderstood something." The girl got closer and closer, and finally stopped at a point just the tip of my nose. She whispered, "Someone wants to see you." ”
I shook my head and said angrily, "If I don't go, I won't fall for you again!" ”
"Really?" She made a very regretful expression, "It seems that you are not interested in the secrets of the black box at all. Well, I'm not here. Good bye! ”
"You know the secret of the black box?!" I suddenly became excited, grabbed her arm, and asked eagerly, "If you really know, please tell me quickly!" ”
The girl looked at me and said softly, "I don't know, but the man who wants to see you knows it, because the black box was made from his companion's hand!" ”
