As I galloped through the woods, the trees thinning out, but in the morning mist a large canopy loomed into view. After a few moments, the ground changed from a dirt floor with leaves to a lawn, and the big tree became stand out. At this point, the sunlight was finally no longer obscured, the morning fog was dispelled, the dew was crystal clear, and the air was filled with moisture and the peculiar green smell of grass and plants. From here, you can directly see the newly rising sun, and the orange-red outline is not blazing, so there is no problem with the naked eye at this time. The sunshine makes the shadows of the canopy clearer, and there are pillars of light under the shade of the trees, looking up at the dense branches and leaves, as if the sun is being sifted.

This is where I once picked up quarks, and the view in the early morning is very different from the view in the evening, and I probably prefer the evening view relatively speaking. In the past apocalyptic fantasy, it is rumored that many corpses were buried under this land to nourish this big tree, and children often choose this place as the end point of their adventures in the park. However, although to reach this area, you have to leave the main road and walk through the woods, but you know that there are quite a few people here. The two women I met in the morning should be two of them.

I guess they found the corpse here, and the memories of the past apocalyptic illusions always give me some sense of immediacy, and the corpses they mention always make me feel as if I have returned to some past, and in this past, Quark has not yet pecked at the eyeballs. Is the body of the two women the main body of the eyeball pecked by the quark? Although, I know, this is not the apocalyptic fantasy of the past, I can't help but think so.

But I didn't find any body. I walked around the tree a few times, then expanded the exploration to twenty meters away, but I didn't even smell the slightest smell of corpses. Recall the words of those two women. They did warn that the corpses here were decomposing and smelling foul. If the scene of the corpse they are talking about is not what I thought it was, it is in this place, then. Where is it? Suppose someone had moved the body and cleaned up the stench, it would have left a mark, but in front of my eyes, the scenery was natural and harmonious, and there was nothing to doubt about it.

I'm a little troubled, and I didn't come here just to reminisce about the past. Quarks play a very important role in my life. Drawing out its corpse, of course, must also have some special significance. I don't expect the crow to appear here, and this repeater world is not the apocalyptic fantasy of the past, but if there is any overlap between the two, then the corpses that appear here will inevitably be in the apocalyptic process of this world. Play a role.

Nothing is independent and accidental, I have to assume. The corpse would also be a manifestation of the mystification and spread of the city.

If you could actually touch the corpse, you must have gained a lot, but now the corpse is gone. I don't think those two women are lying, and I don't think I'm in the wrong place, then. The strange disappearance of the corpse proves the anomaly of this incident.

Perhaps, I should go back and ask the two women for more details. When they know that the body is gone, they will definitely rack their brains to recall the situation. to prove that you are not lying. Before I could leave, though, there was already a group of people walking through the woods, three men in security uniforms, sandwiching slightly frightened women in between. Sure enough, it was the two women who had met before who called the park's security guards, and when they saw me, they immediately said a few words to the security guards.

"This classmate, did you see the body?" A security guard asked in a raised voice when he saw that I hadn't avoided it.

"Nope." I'll tell you the truth.

The lead security officer gave a few words to his colleagues, and the three of them dispersed, ready to investigate the situation thoroughly. Two women hurried up to me, and the stiff and tough woman seemed ready to count me down, and I didn't think she cared if we met in the water, so before they could say anything, I rushed to say, "Did you really see the body here?" ”

The two women were a little shocked when they heard this, and after a while, the other woman said suspiciously, "This place is different from when we first came." The corpse was lying there, and the stench of rancid could be smelled from afar. She pointed to the big tree. If there is really a decomposing corpse, then, even if the corpse can be removed, the smell left behind will never be so lightly removed, and now there is only a natural green and sweet taste left in this area, and it doesn't seem like someone has deliberately covered it up with other flavors.

Now, the two women began to worry about whether their phone call would bring unnecessary trouble to themselves because they were not present. At this time, the leader of this team of security personnel really came over and looked at the two with questioning faces: "Two of you, there are no bodies here." ”

"But, but we really saw it!" One of the women argued forcefully, and then, as if thinking of something, looked at the tree, and her face turned bad. When I looked at this leader again, I seemed to want to say something, but in the end I endured it. I think she is thinking of the legend of the burial here, and thinks that she has encountered something strange and strange, however, in the current era of science, using this kind of rumor to prevaricate will only make people feel that she is making trouble.

"Maybe we're wrong." The slightly more rigid and tough woman interjected and apologized to the security personnel, "But be assured, we're not being vexatious." At that time, we were very nervous and ran out in a panic, just thinking about telling everyone about it, so as not to have another victim. ”

"There should be a limit to mistakes, even the soil here is fresh." Nothing was in a good mood for the security personnel. I think that of course they don't want to see the corpse, which also means their own trouble, but being deceived by someone with a corpse, even if they are half-convinced, before the actual verification, the pressure in their hearts is not small, and this is the reason why they feel annoyed, not that they have been deceived by someone for a few steps.

"I'm sorry, I'm really sorry." The other woman desperately apologized, but there was an expression on her face that she never wanted to be here again.

"Are there really a lot of corpses buried here? That's what a lot of kids say now. I interjected.

"You-" One of the security guards looked like he was about to get angry, but suddenly he thought of something and couldn't say more. The expression became a little weird.

"Where are there corpses. It is a legal park, and the scenery in this area is also all natural, and the land was fenced off as a park before it was developed. The head of the security personnel said angrily: "The children are guessing, and you are also following the blind faith." ”

The other two security personnel looked at each other and said no more about it. said: "Forget it, the absence of corpses is a good thing." A lot of kids come here to play, and even if they don't come this time, they always have to take some time to patrol the area. ”

The leader nodded when he heard this, and revealed the matter. However, the way they looked around felt a little unnatural, as if they wanted to reconfirm something. However, it was time for us all to decide to leave. There are still no anomalous changes. The rest of the story got boring, and I retrieved cigarettes and phones from the two women, and parted ways with them in the eyes of the security guards. Even though nothing happened, I still didn't think that the two women were lying, and the actions of the security personnel at that time seemed to be associated with the rumors of burying the body. The attitude is not as positive as it used to be. It even makes people feel that they have not heard of it. Or, you have seen rumors of the situation, but you refuse to believe it for various reasons.

In the traditional occultism of the Central Duchy, it is quite normal for mysterious events to extend from rumors, or to distort mysterious events into rumors. Spread by way of rumors. The mysteries that evolve into reality after being observed by people are often described in occult examples. And when this kind of "mystery" associated with rumors appears, the advice for ordinary people is often - don't believe in its existence. The occult tends to be idealistic, so it is also believable. You can fight against those terrible things in an idealistic way. Even today, when science is in full swing, the traditional occultism of this country has not been broken, and even if it is not mystical itself, there are many people who accept these occults in an idealistic way. In particular, people who deal with environments such as "dead of night", "wilderness", "cemeteries" and "hospitals" can always hearsay, or, with their own experiences, to prove the existence of mysteries.

Before us invaders, even though the mystery was suppressed and truly non-existent, the occult as a part of humanity never disappeared. Isn't it normal for someone to really see the anomaly and suspect its existence now, as it has been in the past, rather than staying away from it as it used to be.

It is possible that the vanished corpse really existed, but some anomaly disappeared, or it was itself a hallucination of two women, but in any case it was enough to explain that there was something wrong with it. I think it will still appear, and as a whisperer determined to govern all the mysteries of this city, it will certainly be someone else to deal with this anomaly.

When I got home, Dr. Nguyen Le was very unhappy, but because he was in a hurry to get to work, he just hurriedly reprimanded me. After she left, Tomie and Sagawa came to the door at an old age, and since it was a weekend, Sakiya and Hakkei also got together, so I told them about it.

"Rumors of burials in that park? I've heard about it too. Hachijing seemed to know a lot, and said with a slightly amused expression: "The scenery of that place has long been unnatural, one-third of the turf and the tree were transplanted, and at that time during the night construction, someone saw the builder throw the long thing into the ground, and it turned out later that it was dirt, but it was deliberately said to be a corpse." Later, for various reasons, the rumors of burying corpses became more and more realistic. ”

"Huh? Is that so? It's not at all like what I know. Sakiya stared at Hakkei in some surprise, and Hakkei also looked over in amazement. Sakiya said: "I heard from my father, he had a relationship with the police station, probably at some point - when it was, I don't know - there was a murder case in this area, the victim was dismembered and buried in that area, because it was a little appalling, so, it was not reported, and the average person is not very clear." Later, according to this case, some people said that the dismembered part was more corpses, which became the rumor of burying corpses today. ”

"Is that so?" Hakkei was a little dumbfounded, obviously, she hadn't heard of the source of this rumor, but, assuming that what happened today was a mysterious incident. Sakiya's statement is undoubtedly more likely to be closer to the truth.

"Have there been crows in that area?" I asked without the topic of the origin of this rumor.

"Yes." Sakuya and Hakkei both nodded affirmatively and said, "It's because of the appearance of crows that this kind of rumor will spread, you think about it, where there are crows." It's always reminiscent of a corpse. ”

"See the crows? Achuan. Tomie asked, sipping his beer.

"Nope." I shook my head, "But even if the rumors of the past were false, they could now be mysterious clues." I think we should pay attention to it. ”

"We can go in at night and set up monitors in the trees." Hakkei said, "Whether it's a hallucination or something really happens, someone must be in that place." ”

Sakiya nodded solemnly, though. I think that Hachikage and Sakiya have always had some hesitation about whether what I mean by Qiē is my psychopathy or real mystery, but I can do something about the rumors as a whisperer. They were still very happy. Perhaps, even if it turns out in the end. It's really just a rumor, but it's a fun game. For the whisperers, this operation was also the first collective action with a definite goal after the toilet talk ended and new members Tomie and Sagawa joined.

Sakiya, Hakkei, and Sagawa decide to go out to investigate the scene and gather information on rumors of burying corpses. Sakiya and Hakkei don't know what they know. Let them all feel that this rumor can be dug deeper, maybe they can take this opportunity to determine the truth of the rumor. Verifying the truth of an urban legend is often exciting, and I can totally understand their excitement.

"So what? You think. Could it be related to Doomsday Shinrikyo? Tomie asked me out loud after everyone else had left. And in her words, my speculation about the incident in the park is indeed related to the Doomsday Shinrikyo religion, although there is no strictly explicit evidence to prove the relationship between them. In order for this speculation to be valid, I must first assume that the rumors of burying the corpse and the corpses seen by the two women are not directly related, but are just in a special state, so that special information is amplified in the mind, so that the corresponding hallucinations appear.

In the environment where the Doomsday Shinrikyo exists, the drug that induces hallucinations is undoubtedly the most powerful of the hallucinogenous "Paradise", which is unique to the Doomsday Shinrikyo religion. Not enough, such a far-fetched idea, can only be hypothesized in the absence of direct intelligence. I can't be sure that those two women actually took Paradise and where they got it. As a rule of thumb, the temperament of these two women, the status and possessions they represent, are the kind of people who are extremely easy to come into contact with the Doomsday Shinrikyo religion, and it has nothing to do with what they do, but only because of their habits and the things they come into contact with outside of work. Perhaps, in the city today, the Doomsday Shinrikyo has also infiltrated through guò bars.

Here's the question, why did the Doomsday Shinrikyo choose this city? This repeater world is not like the doomsday illusion of the past, the development of the Doomsday Shinrikyo has not yet grown to the point where you can choose the momentum of the territory at will. Even if the Doomsday Shinrikyo Church decides to take advantage of the mysterious diffusion and build a bridgehead in Asia with reference to the development of the outside world, there are more cities to choose from, why do I have to be in this city?

My suspicion is incomprehensible due to a lack of information. So, I didn't tell anyone else, but just told Tomie, because Tomie's position is more neutral than everyone else's, and she can accept all kinds of illogical speculations without any pressure, and she will not react to whether they are ridiculous or not.

"Maybe the corpse was used as fodder for Claudia." Tomie said casually.

"I didn't see Claudia there." I said, "Are you going to go to the bar tonight?" ”

"You'll have to find the bar where the two women frequent." Tomie smiled and said, "Did you exchange phone numbers with them?" ”

"Of course." I waved my phone.

Sagawa's electronic demon clone lurks in the government department, using the "mystery" to obtain the resources of the government department, including the city's personnel files. Before Zuo Chuan left, I had already informed her to deal with this matter, and then at noon, good news came. The two women, one is a teacher at another local high school, and the other is the foreman of a private club, and the addresses of the two have been ascertained, and it turns out that they are still **. I think the two have a very good personal relationship, and the nightlife is likely to be the private club where the foreman is located.

After that, there was no abnormality, and Sakuya and Hakkei's field trip to the "burial ground" in the park had also been completed, and they were going to take advantage of the next night's self-study to go there to set it up, and in order to ensure safety, Zuo Chuan also had to accompany him. Tomie and I decided to go out tonight to find out if the two women had any contact with the Doomsday Shinrikyo - in fact, even if they did, it didn't mean that they would be in the same league as the Doomsday Shinrikyo, and many ordinary people, when they first started taking "Paradise", actually didn't know about it, and they wouldn't be corrupted by the teachings of the Doomsday Shinrikyo Sect. In the past apocalyptic fantasy, Morino and Shirai have both taken "Paradise", especially Shirai, because of the overdose of "Paradise", and even had terrible consequences, but the two were used by the Doomsday Shinrikyo Religion, not because they were corrupted by the doctrine, but because they were forced by the Goat Guild to use the means of the next work. However, according to these experiences, it is only a matter of time before two women fall into the clutches of the Doomsday Shinrikyo religion.

Also in the middle of the night, when Dr. Nguyen Li, Sakiya, and Ba Jing had already fallen into a deep sleep, I put on my coat and jumped out of the window that had been repaired a few days ago. Because of my past experience, I have always been suspicious of the employees of the renovation company who came to the repair, and now this incident has appeared, and it is inevitable that it will be associated with them, but there is no evidence for these speculations. In fact, the aborigines of this repeater would never have linked these situations to cult activities. Maybe seeing the corpse in the rumored burial place is enough to make people think about it, but that's all, if it is really the Doomsday Shinrikyo operating locally, it will definitely not expose its identity at the beginning of its development because of this kind of thing. The reason why I have this association is only because of my status as a mysterious expert and my past experience.

Tomie was waiting in the old place, and before I got to the place, I saw her in the distance. As soon as I said hello, she threw down her cigarette, put it on my shoulder, and quickly arrived at the ** place of the female high school teacher and the female foreman of the club with the help of the speed sweeping superpower. Their occupations are quite good, and the place where they live is also at the middle and upper level in the city, the community security is strict, the green process in the area is very high, the public leisure area in front of the building is composed of pavilions, wooden benches and pebble paths, and there are cameras in many corners that are difficult to observe directly, as long as you enter from the main entrance of the community, it is almost impossible to avoid being photographed. Of course, if you climb over the wall from other corners, you will also face corresponding security measures. Because of these measures, this community is also well-known in the real estate industry, and it is a high-end residence, which is much better than my and Dr. Ruan Li's home, but it is far worse than Sakuya's house.

It's not that Dr. Nguyen Le doesn't have the money to buy a house of this grade, but there are too many situations in her private work that are not suitable for too strict security checks, and the various measures taken to ensure the safety of the householder will only make her life more troublesome in her opinion. Although there have been no questions about her private life since I entered this repeater, there is no shortage of these situations in the diary left by the aboriginal "Takakawa". Dr. Nguyen Li, of course, checked Gao Chuan's diary, but she did not erase the records, which may not be a matter of secrecy in her opinion.

Then again, in order for ordinary people to enter this high-end residential area, they need to go through some formalities at the door, or ask the residents to confirm their identity, but for me and Tomie, this kind of intrusion is not worth mentioning at all. (To be continued......)
