I'm not sure if the reason why many people ran to Aokigahara Jukai to commit suicide was natural or man-made, but I'm sure that this situation has been exploited by people, and it is highly likely that it was taken advantage of by people from the Ashiya family. Xueliyu said that Ashiya Qianzhang had lived in seclusion in the mountains for many years, could it be here?

I chatted with Naoki Nakayama for a while, he has lived here for more than ten years, and has seen too many people who have come here to kill themselves, but he has not seen anything else special, and no one has been here recently. According to him, there is an abandoned old house deep in the woods, which was originally a holiday villa built by a wealthy merchant, but then it was abandoned because too many people came here to kill themselves, and no one dared to live in it and could not sell it. He didn't think it was anything to see, so he hadn't been there and didn't know the exact location.

The old man said that he couldn't provide me with the service of repairing the car, but he could leave me here for the night, where did I really have a broken car? So after thanking him for his kindness, he left in his doubtful eyes.

I remembered what was going on around the outside of the shop so that I could teleport later, and then I walked in the direction of the abandoned old house that the old man had said, which is also the direction that most people who commit suicide take.

There was a thick snow on the ground, but I could still tell it was a small road, and I didn't go far before I saw a warning sign in Japanese, and I could barely guess from the scales and half-claws of the kanji and the side that it meant "cherish life, prohibit suicide". In some places where the snow was not covered, scattered fabrics, mineral water bottles, and a sunhat hung on one of the branches, presumably left by a dead man.

There is no path further on, the trees are huge, the shade is thick, the ancient vines are hanging, and it is very eerie and scary. Even though I'm not afraid of ghosts at all, the atmosphere still affects me and makes me nervous and uneasy. When I got here, I couldn't tell the direction, I took out the compass and looked at it, it was normal, this compass of the great ancestor could not be affected by geomagnetism.

I continued to walk north, and I didn't go far before I found a skull and a small number of small bones in the snow, which looked like it had been many years, but for some reason no one had taken it away, and there were no bones in the rest of my body.

"Look over there, someone is really hanging!" Xiaoxue suddenly screamed.

I saw from the light snow's field that there was a man leaning on a big tree not far in front of me, his head drooping, his feet only a foot off the ground, a rope hanging around his neck, and the other end of the rope tied to the higher part of the tree.

I walked over and took a closer look, the man was about thirty years old, dressed in overalls, not rotting because of the cold, but his skin had turned blue, and his face was tired and haggard and a little dehydrated, and he looked scary.

I had some chills on my back, not because I was scared by the appearance of a dead man, but because of the way he hanged himself. Because his feet are so close to the ground, when he is suffocated, don't you want to hold your feet on the ground, or prop your feet on a tree to break away from the noose? In my impressions, the Chinese hang themselves in a very high place, and if they are put in, they will regret it and have no way to get out. Maybe it's because the Japanese are particularly persevering and can not struggle until they die? But with such perseverance, what else can't be done, and suicide is required?

Xiaoxue said: "It is possible that he has lost his mind before committing suicide and will not feel pain. ”

It is very likely that people who are deceived by ghosts or affected by evil spirits and kill themselves often do not know what they are doing, or they are in the illusion that they are doing something very great and sacred, and they die without hesitation. So so many people who commit suicide come from different places, are they affected in other places, or are they only affected when they are here? This one is really weird.

As we continued on, we saw quite a few skeletons and corpses, as well as many relics of the dead. It's strange that so many people are dying here, and we don't encounter a single ghost, and the forest just seems to be heavier than the yin - which further confirms my suspicion that someone made full use of these "resources" and took the ghost away.

"Childe, there is one thing we may have been negligent, with the strength of Ashiya Hikatsu, the blood Yusheng is very reluctant to win him, last time it was Ashiya Hikaru who was seriously injured before he was chased by the blood jade very badly. Now that Hikaru Ashiya's injury may have healed, and there may be helpers, what do you think is the chance of winning with our strength? ”

I didn't ignore this, but I couldn't back down just because the enemy was strong, so I didn't think about it. As for the odds, it's really hard to say, although cultivation and spells are the main indicators, there are also timing, land types, environments, strategies, etc., which affect victory or defeat, at least one thing I have an advantage: Hikaru Ashiya didn't know that I flew here directly, and I could surprise him.

The woods were very dense, and there was snow in most places, so I didn't move fast even though I was motivated. After walking for more than an hour, a small river appeared in front of me, but it was not frozen, and the water was clear and steaming. When I looked upstream along the river, I thought I was dazzled.

More than 20 meters away, a woman was sitting on the root of a large tree by the river, soaking in the water barefoot, combing her long waterfall-like hair with a comb, and wearing a snow-white kimono so white that even the ice and snow had lost its luster. She tilted her head, her face sideways and chin to my side, and although she didn't see the whole face, the gentle and dignified beauty made me forget to breathe.

"Ah, what a beautiful woman!" Xiaoxue exclaimed, and then said, "It must not be a person!" ”

I also came back to my senses immediately, there will definitely be no living person who comes here in the middle of the night to comb her hair and wash her feet, and besides, she is dressed so thinly, if she is a human, she is already shivering from the cold, how can she be so calm? But there is no obvious yin and evil aura in her, only a cold and unearthly feeling, which is integrated with the ice and snow of heaven and earth, very harmonious, and not like a ghost.

The woman turned her head and smiled at me, the beauty of which was indescribable, and I almost couldn't help but step forward.

Xiaoxue flashed: "Hey, are you a human or a ghost, what are you doing here in the middle of the night?" ”

The beautiful woman's face immediately changed, her face was still so beautiful, but the gentleness was completely gone, replaced by anger, jealousy, resentment, pointed at me and said a few words of Japanese quickly, turned and left.

I didn't understand what she said, but somehow I understood what she meant, what she meant: You already have another woman, what are you coming to me for?

I'm really at a loss for money, I'm not here to find her, could it be that she's waiting for another person, treating me as that person?

"Hey, hey, where are you going? What the hell are you? Xiaoxue shouted, and the spirit body flew across the river and chased after the woman. The woman's sleeves fluttered, her steps were calm, and she didn't seem to be particularly fast, but in fact she flew faster than Xiaoxue, and I couldn't see it in the blink of an eye.

I hurried forward, jumped onto a rock in the middle of the creek, and with the help of my strength jumped to the opposite bank, and chased after it. chased a few hundred meters, not only did he not catch up with the woman, but even Xiaoxue didn't know where to run.

I tried to call Xiaoxue back telepathically, but I didn't react at all. I couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, even if Xiaoxue left me far away, I could sense her in the past, and I couldn't sense her as soon as I breathed, and I never couldn't sense her like today. In the blink of an eye, she couldn't go too far, what danger did she encounter? What is that beautiful woman?

I ran anxiously forward, observing and sensing my surroundings at the same time, and suddenly I saw a house under a large tree. Of course, no house could grow under the big tree, but to be precise, several huge trees like banyan trees, with countless large and small fibrous roots, surrounded a very large house, so that the house looked as if it was digging out of the earth with its roots on top of it.

What a spooky house!

I stopped to take a closer look, it was a two-story blue brick building, although it was dilapidated and intact, it looked a bit like an ancient church, the door and windows were almost completely sealed by a large number of tree roots and rattans, and it was pitch black inside, and I couldn't see clearly even if I had night eyes. There is very little snow in the vicinity, and the ground has a thick layer of fallen leaves, giving off a gloomy and rotten atmosphere, and the ground atmosphere in this vicinity is higher than in other places.

This house should not be the villa that the old man said, it should not have been built under the roots of the tree at the beginning, but in the following decades, the roots of the tree grew and surrounded the house. But the strange thing is that the roots of the trees do not drill into the wall, and all of them grow down against the wall, so the house can be so complete.

There's got to be weird about this house! I began to concentrate on the inside and walked around the house. There is a heavy yin in the house, condensed but not dispersed, the furnishings are quite neat, and there is not much garbage and fallen leaves on the ground from the window, which also seems very unreasonable.

When I walked to the back door on the other side, the back door was not sealed by tree roots, and there were flickering lights inside. I was amazed that ghosts wouldn't use open flames, but how could a living person live in such a place?

I was hesitating when the lights moved and the clogs fell to the ground, and a beautiful Japanese woman in ancient costume walked out with a lantern. It's a beauty again, but it's completely different from what I've seen before, this one is charming and charming, dressed in a thick outfit, with a lot of silver jewelry on her head, and wearing a tight-fitting kimono with a cherry blossom pattern on a red background, upright and down, with a slender waist in her hand, and a snake waist twisting when she walks.

I frowned, I am also a beauty, why is the difference so big? And this one has an obvious evil aura on her body, and she is by no means a good type, what I can't figure out is that if she is a ghost, how can she carry a lantern and wear clogs?

The woman walked to a stop three or four meters away from me, and lightly lifted her lips: "Childe must be lost, don't be afraid, I am a good person, I will treat you warmly, and I will leave when it is dawn." ”

Although her mouth was talking, my brain directly sensed the information, and there was a yin and evil qi invading to control my mind.

I refreshed my energy to block the evil spirit, my spiritual sense gathered in my eyes, and the eyes of heaven opened by itself, where is the beauty in front of me? It is clearly a piece of clothing and a human skin hanging on a complete skeleton.

The female ghost noticed that something was wrong, and with a cry of surprise, she dropped the lantern and turned to run. I picked up the yang thunder with my left hand and poked forward, the female ghost screamed and fell, and the black gas was permeated, and when the black gas dissipated, only a shriveled human skin wrapped in white bones remained, and the clothes, hair, and clogs were all real.
