Since then, Inoue has been even more frightened, and every day is so tormented that he has no heart to do anything else.

In addition, since suffering from this strange disease, Inoue has not been able to eat with others, because he needs to eat and pull at the same time, so every time he eats, he has to find a secluded and unoccupied place, and Tanaka holds a sapper shovel and buries the feces and urine pulled out from the well on the side.

Moreover, this kind of feces and urine pulled out by Inoue has a special fishy smell, and if it is not buried in time, Inoue will simply not be able to eat. Every day, Inoue suffers like this.

But what just made Inoue even more uneasy was the letter.

Since he was no match for the letter writer at all, what Inoue wanted to do most was to beg the letter writer for mercy, but he racked his brains and couldn't figure out how to find the letter writer, so he had to give up.

In the end, Inoue only wanted to leave China as soon as possible, and he felt that when he returned to China, this strange illness might disappear, and even if it didn't get better, then he could go to the United States and find those top medical experts to cure this strange disease.

For Inoue, this strange disease of "pulling as soon as you eat", he has never heard of it, nor has he read about it in any medical book, this disease is so strange that Inoue even thinks that it should be a curse technique, which is difficult to explain with modern science.

As for the letter saying that there was a Taoist priest who could use meteorites to kill people, Inoue still couldn't fully believe it anyway, because with the existing scientific knowledge, this situation could not have happened at all.

He really hoped that the threats in the letter were all scared by the letter writer, and only when he thought about it in this way would the anxiety in his heart be eased a little.

Later, Inoue fully understood that this was just his wishful thinking, and all the qiē written in the letter were later fulfilled on him one by one - on the way to retreat, he was hit by a ricochet that reflected back, hitting the most critical part of the man in the lower body, and then died in extreme pain. None of his assistants were injured.

When he was dying, Inoue said to Tanaka with emotion that he had always felt that he was superior in wisdom, but this trip to China, he not only gave his life, but also deeply experienced that compared with the mysterious letter writer, he was simply an idiot, Inoue never thought that there would be such an unfathomable person in modern China.

He also repeatedly instructed Tanaka to find out who the person who wrote the letter was, and if possible, it would be best to avenge him, he felt that his death was too miserable and too confusing, and finally, he entrusted the manuscript to Tanaka, and said that this was the greatest effort of his life, and that there were many shocking secrets hidden in this book, which were of immeasurable value, and that Tanaka must protect them.

But in the panicked retreat, most of the manuscript of this book was lost, and as for how it was lost, even Tanaka could not say, because the manuscript was very thick, and he divided the manuscript into two parts, and one part of it was lost in a daze.

At that time, American planes that had come to the aid of the Chinese battlefield began to bomb the Japanese army fiercely, and what Tanaka thought about most at that time was not the manuscript at all, but how to return to Japan alive.

It wasn't until he returned to Japan that Tanaka felt sorry for Inoue, who trusted and loved him so much, but he lost Inoue's most precious manuscript.

When Tanaka handed over the remaining manuscripts, what he did not expect was that this manuscript caused a huge shock in Japan's highest academic circles, and not only that, but even the US military knew the news and asked to study these manuscripts with Japan.

The Japanese military officer in charge of intelligence, as well as two U.S. military intelligence officers, repeatedly questioned Tanaka for a month, asking questions about the book and Inoue's experience in China, especially the details of the manuscript ceremony.

They asked Tanaka countless questions and recorded all the conversations. It was only then that Tanaka realized how much the meaning of Inoue's book was.

Tanaka later learned that for decades, both Japan and the United States had secretly sent many people to search for the whereabouts of Tanaka's book through various channels, but in the end they found nothing and returned empty-handed.

In the last decade or so, this search has slowly come to an end, as experts believe that the manuscript was most likely damaged in the war.

But a recent incident has made the search for books "revived", and Tanaka and several of them came here this time to find Inoue's posthumous manuscript.

So what happened to make this "book hunt" happen? Speaking of which, this incident is really a mistake, and it is still very weird.

It was last summer that several Japanese scholars came to this mountain to investigate.

These Japanese scholars are all engaged in biomedicine, and have been studying the remnants of Inoue for a long time, in the process of research, the discovery of Inoue's book, they were shocked, not only that, Tanaka's oral recording, they also listened to countless times, which aroused their curiosity about the mountain, so last summer, they decided to come here, do a field trip. Let's see if there are any windfalls.

One of these Japanese biomedical scientists, Saburo Ono, was the initiator of the event and a top scholar in the field.

Not only that, but this Ono Saburo, who is also the founder of a Japanese biomedical company, is a very successful entrepreneur with deep financial resources. The cost of this expedition was entirely borne by him.

On the second day of coming, a few of them went up the mountain, and sure enough, on this mountain, they found a lot of strange plants, and many of them had very high medicinal value, which made them extremely excited.

And, as long as they don't go up the mountain, they will definitely go to the "herb trading street" - the street where we followed the three Japanese women tonight.

But it was on that street that they encountered a "strange thing", and this "strange thing" was probably related to Inoue's manuscript.

Here's the thing.

It was drizzling that day, and Ono Saburo knew that the mountain roads were slippery on such rainy days, and it would be more dangerous to go to the mountains to collect medicine. So, a few of them went to the "herbal medicine trading street".

Because it was the peak season for the herbal medicine trade, there were a lot of people on that street, bustling and rubbing shoulders.

Several people watched from house to house, they carefully observed the types of herbs, the processing process, and the herb specimens, etc., when they saw it, they kept taking pictures and recordings, and before they knew it, they had been from the morning to the evening, and they didn't even care about eating lunch.

Saburo Ono looked at his watch, it was already past six o'clock in the afternoon, and then he felt a little sore in his legs and a little hungry. So, they wanted to go shopping for a while and then go back to the hotel to rest.

And at this moment, Ono came across a very special drugstore.

This pharmacy is opened by an old man, this old man is tall, but his waist is straight, his beard is white, and his spirit is strong, and it makes people feel extraordinary at a glance.

The old man's pharmacy was almost the smallest on the street, and it looked the most humbled, and to be honest, it was nothing else that attracted Ono Saburo in, but two luxury cars at the door.

Cars are Ono's only hobby, so he knows all kinds of famous cars and luxury cars in style, price, performance, etc., and these two luxury cars are the most expensive cars Ono has seen since he came to China - even in Beijing and Shanghai, Ono has never seen this level of luxury cars, and how can this world-class luxury car appear in a small county town and an inconspicuous pharmacy? This is indeed a bit unusual.

Out of curiosity, Ono and the three of them decided to go into the pharmacy and have a look.

When Ono and the others came in, the old man didn't get up to say hello, but still sat there quietly, giving a pulse to a lady in her forties, and there were a few people standing next to the second lady, all dressed very well, two of them were very much like bodyguards, it can be seen that the two super luxury cars are these people.

It turned out that this old man not only opened a pharmacy, but also treated others.

However, what made Ono and the others feel strange was why these so rich people went to this dilapidated pharmacy and let this old man see a doctor? Could it be that this old man is a famous doctor with particularly good medical skills? If this is the case, then the queue of people who see a doctor outside should have been full, but there is no one outside waiting for him to see a doctor, what is going on?

Ono also found that the varieties of medicinal materials in this pharmacy were unusually small, only a few simple ones, and except for a few of them, no medicine dealer came here to check and buy medicinal materials.

When the old man found out that several of them were speaking Japanese, he couldn't help frowning, with disgust and disdain on his face, and muttered a sentence in his mouth, this detail did not escape Ono's eyes.

Ono guessed that for some reason, the old man seemed to dislike them Japanese.

However, the old man did not drive them out, but only when they did not save zài, continue to treat the noble lady, and the Japanese who came in at the same time as Ono felt that there was nothing to see in this pharmacy, so they all went out, only Ono did not hurry to leave, he faintly felt that this old man seemed to be very unusual, Ono pretended to look at the herbs, while secretly observing the old man's every move.

But at this moment, a scene happened that shocked Ono.

I saw the old man take a box from the side, and then carefully took out a strange thing from the box.

This mass is the size of an adult's palm, but it looks very strange - this unknown mass is full of wrinkles like a human brain, but the whole shape is very similar to that of a fetus, and it is still squirming slightly.

The moment Ono saw this kind of thing, he was so shocked that he almost screamed. Because he knew what it was, but what Ono couldn't imagine was how this most magical and incredible thing in his mind could appear in the hands of the old man, who was this old man?
