Chapter 283: The Mountain of Monsters Serial Arson Case

After investigating the scene of the fire, Shiki surveyed around the village again, and it turned out that he found some clues. In the woods that surrounded the village, he saw some burnt marks, and from those traces he felt the same breath as at the scene of the fire. Apparently the other party has passed by these places, but they don't know why they left these traces.

The traces of the burned have no regular distribution, so it is difficult to trace the location of the other party, which is a bit unfortunate.

Unable to find clues to the arsonist for the time being, Shiki returned to the village to help Orange start cleaning up the site, and with his strength, the ruins were cleaned up in less than a day.

After this incident, the four seasons won the favor of the wild cats, which was an unexpected gain.

A few more days passed like this.,On this day, Shiki was suddenly called to the shrine by Miyuki.,Said that there was an important matter.。

As soon as he came to the four seasons, he was stuffed with a piece of paper in his hand, and looking at its size and style, it was a newspaper with the words "Wenwen Shimbun" written on it.

"What is this?"

"Look at the content."

Shiki looked down according to Miyuki's words, and saw that there was a huge and impactful title on it-"Yokai Mountain Serial Arson", and the content was as follows-

At about 23 o'clock on the 0th of the month, a fire broke out near the kappa residence by the river in Yokai Mountain. The fire spread in a radius of tens of meters, but fortunately it was close to the river, and with the full efforts of several kappa, the fire was quickly extinguished. There were no casualties in the fire.

The cause of the fire is unknown, but two days after the investigation of the accident, at about 16 o'clock on the 0th of the month, a large fire broke out again in the mountain of youkai, because there was no one around at the time and the wind was too strong, so the fire stretched for hundreds of meters. Eventually, the fire was discovered by Sanae Toshigaya, a shrine maiden passing by, and then extinguished the fire in collaboration with the Tengu. Again, there were no casualties.

Just one day later, at about 07:00 on the 0th of the month, the fire broke out again near the location of the Yokai Mountain Tengu, and it was found that it was extinguished by the passing Tengu in time, but the Tengu had four feathers burned off his wings.

Three fires suddenly appeared in Yokai Mountain in a few days, and the cause of the fire was unknown, so it is very likely that someone deliberately set the fire.

The following is an interview conducted by our reporter with the residents of Yokai Mountain about the incident.

"It's really annoying, the fire suddenly burned, and I don't know what's going on at all!" (Kappa A)

"I seemed to see something bright nearby, just catch the prisoner quickly!" (Kappa B)

"When I found it, the fire was very big, and the smoke could be seen from afar. Fortunately, the wind didn't blow towards my shrine, otherwise it would have been dangerous. (Sanae)

"There was no one around! It just came out of nowhere! It's horrible! All four of my feathers have been burned! (Wounded Tengu)

It is impossible to determine the cause of the accident from the information available, and although there has been no evidence of the existence of the culprit, the continuous fires are impossible to consider an accident. Now the inhabitants of Yokai Mountain are feeling the danger because of this.

If anyone has a clue, please be sure to contact our reporter. Our reporters will always follow up and report. -- Shotimaru

This is the full text of the news, although the headline is exaggerated, but the content is quite serious.

After reading the content, the four seasons naturally understood the reason why Miyuki called him over.,The things of the Lost House Shiki and Miyuki have said.,Obviously, there can't be no relationship between the two.。

"It looks like it's probably the same person who did it."

Shiki said to Miyuki and them.

"Do you think it has something to do with the Demon Book?"

Marisa, also in the seat, asked.

"The sudden appearance of serial arsonists at such a time is not a coincidence."

Reimu nodded in agreement.

"Do Shikis think the same way?"

Miyuki asks for the advice of the four seasons.

"Yes. It's not unlikely, and it explains why the Demon Book has never been found near the human village. ”

They hadn't found any more demon books in the past few days, and if they had run into the mountain of monsters, they wouldn't have found them in the human village.

"Then let's go to the Monster Mountain to investigate!"

Marisa was still as resolute as ever, but everyone else agreed.

"Miyuki continues to rest, and we set off."

"Hmm."

Hearing Shiki's words, Miyuki replied in disappointment, and she couldn't move around casually because her injuries hadn't healed yet.

Shiki, Reimu, and Marisa walked out of the shrine, and just as they were about to take off, they saw a figure flying in the sky like a wind.

It was a girl with black crow-like wings, short black hair, red eyes, a white short-sleeved shirt, and a black miniskirt that was not afraid to walk away.

In the blink of an eye, the girl was already in front of them.

"It came at the right time!"

Before the girl could speak, Reimu took the first step and pointed at the other's nose and shouted.

"Huh?"

The girl is holding a camera in her hand, and she can't understand Reimu's attitude.

"You wrote this, right?"

Reimu holds up the news she had shown Shiki earlier.

"yes. So you already know. ”

The girl nodded.

Needless to say, she is the writer of the news, and the name "Wenwen News" naturally comes from her name.

Shotimaru is a tengu who lives in the mountain of youkai.

Tengu is one of the main inhabitants of Yokai Mountain, and they have a higher level of civilization than the humans here. There are many types of tengu, such as the Great Tengu, the Raven Tengu, the Nose Tall Tengu, the White Wolf Tengu, the Yamabushi Tengu, and so on. Except for the large size of the Tengu and the high nose of the Tengu with a pointed nose, the others are basically the same as humans.

Shemeimaru is the fastest of these tengu, and she usually holds a camera and collects various topics around Gensokyo to write news. That's "Wenwen News". By the way, this news is strictly prejudiced because it is a person. In addition, since it is issued irregularly, it does not actually play a role in intelligence gathering. So it's just something that belongs to the after-dinner conversation to pass the time.

"I was looking for you! Reimu: What do you think about the arson? ”

"Why did you come to me?"

"I always think you'll know something."

I don't know if this is a reporter's sixth sense.

"Okay, there are indeed some clues, anyway, you take us to the place of the incident first, and then tell you what happened."

"No problem!"

Without the slightest hesitation, Shotimaru immediately agreed.
