Chapter 10: The Holy Land of Suicide

My plan was to go to Japan with a tour group because I didn't speak Japanese and didn't know Japanese, so it was not convenient to inquire about the news. Unexpectedly, I found several travel agencies in Fuzhou, and they all said that the Spring Festival holiday was full of tourists, and those who did not make an appointment in advance would not be accepted, and they also had to apply for passports and the like, so they could not leave immediately.

Is this trying to force me to use water to escape to Japan? Japan is not far from the mainland, and it is such a large island, I don't believe that I can't find it. When I went abroad, I estimated that the mobile phone could not be used, and I had to call my grandmother and Lao Lin before leaving, and there was no signal in the mountains before, so I was always turned off, and then I took it out and pressed the power button.

I haven't dialed out a group of numbers yet, but my mobile phone vibrate, and I saw that it was Lu Qingwen's phone. I hesitated to answer it until it stopped vibrating, but in the blink of an eye it started to vibrate again.

I had no choice but to answer the button: "Is there something wrong?" ”

"Oh my God, you finally picked it up, I'm in a hurry!" Lu Qingwen's voice was full of anxiety, and she took a long breath, "I've called your phone at least thirty times, all of which are turned off, what happened to you?" ”

"I don't have a signal in the mountains, it's off."

"My grandfather won't let me leave the house, he won't let me go to you, I kept asking him before he said that you were attacked, your emotions were out of control, I called you and turned off your phone, I was really anxious."

I said lightly: "I'm not emotionally out of control, and I'm fine, thank you for your concern." ”

"You...... No matter what arguments you have with my grandfather, at least we're still friends, right? Don't tell me if something happens to you! Do you want to go to Japan to find enemies? I can sneak away and I have friends in Japan......"

I interrupted her: "No, it's because we're friends that I can't put you in danger anymore, don't come out, I won't take you with me." ”

After saying that, I hung up, and Lu Qingwen called again, but I didn't answer. After she dialed three times, she sent a text message: If you don't take me, you don't need to answer my phone, remember to call me when you get there, keep in touch, maybe I have something to help. ”

I was a little moved, I understood her heart, but I couldn't accept her heart. In the end I didn't call anyone and turned off again. Since I can't live a normal life, don't get too close to normal people and let them completely know that my news is for their good.

In the evening, I used a compass to measure the angle of Japan on a map of China, and drove the earth in a straight line. After a while, I arrived at the beach, and I moved forward by water instead, because in places where there is more water and less soil, it is more spiritual energy to use soil to escape.

I flew with all my might, and within half an hour, a large area of land appeared on the vast sea, and it should be Japan. I landed in the dark on the edge of a brightly lit big city, and as I walked forward, I saw many signboards and billboards, mostly written in Japanese. Further into the city, you can occasionally see Chinese signs in the bizarre neon lights, and the word "Nagasaki" is written in many places.

There are two places I'm going to, one is Shimane Prefecture and the other is Mt. Fuji. According to Kinaritama, Hikaru Ashiya's home and a company are in Shimane Prefecture, but in the end, she followed Hikaru Ashiya, but she was lost in a vast forest on the north side of Mt. Fuji. At that time, Hikaru Ashiya didn't know that the Jade was being followed, so it was very likely that there was a secret stronghold of the Ashiya family in that forest sea.

Xiaoxue used a little trick to get a large amount of yen without much effort, anyway, it was taken from Japan, and I didn't want to take it home, so I didn't have to feel uneasy. I found a small Chinese restaurant, a middle-aged couple frequented, and there were just no customers. I ordered a few dishes first, then gave the hostess a stack of banknotes and asked him to buy me a Chinese version of the map with the two places I was going to.

"Sir, are you going to Aokigahara Jukai?" The proprietress moved her pen to a green spot on the north side of Mt. Fuji and stopped, asked cautiously with an uneasy expression on her face.

"yes, what's the problem?"

"Oh, no, no...... the proprietress looked even more strange, but she tried to pretend to be calm and put the money I gave her back on the table, "This money...... Mr. should take it back, there is nothing that cannot be overcome, and you must face life with optimism. ”

I was stunned, what kind of song is this, is she a hidden master who sees that I don't have a long time to live?

The proprietress hesitated for a moment and then said, "Sir, you are an international student, have you been here for a few years?" ”

I hummed, noncommittal, I am now twenty-five years old, I was originally a teacher and a bit of a literati, and my hair was dyed and trimmed again during the Chinese New Year, not old, and I really looked a bit like an international student.

The boss also came over and sat down next to me and patted me on the shoulder: "Little brother, I have a treat today, and I don't charge money." Whether you are out of love or unemployed, you must face it strongly, and it will pass. It's not easy to think about how your parents raised you, it's not easy for you to study, you're still young, and the days ahead are still long. Just now, you threw out so much money at once, and you looked melancholy, I could see that something was wrong......"

I couldn't help but laugh: "What are you talking about, I didn't want to find a short view!" ”

"Yes, yes, you just want to relax, you can go somewhere else."

I finally understood, it seems that there is something wrong with the place I am going to make them misunderstood. I repeatedly explained that I didn't want to commit suicide, where did the boss and his wife believe it? Adamantly decided I didn't want to live anymore. Anyway, the map is there, I already know the location, they love it or not, I turned around and left, and the stack of money was still left to the kind and opinionated couple.

Originally, the place I was going to was called Aokigahara Jukai, on the north side of Mt. Fuji, and there were several lakes next to it, so it should be easy to find. When I got to a place where there was no one, I was more accurate and flew forward. I wondered what was so strange about that large woods, and why I said I was going there, and the restaurateur and his wife were so nervous that I was going to kill myself.

After about 20 minutes of speeding all the way, a majestic peak in the shape of a cone appeared on the right side of the front, and it was winter, and almost the entire peak was covered with snow, and there was no doubt that it was Mt. Fuji. Looking down from the sky, there is a large flat area in front of me, white and boundless, I lowered the height to take a closer look, there is a little green in the white, it turned out to be a large area of snow-covered woods, very dense, far away to look very smooth, worthy of the word "sea of trees".

I was a little surprised, I didn't expect that there would be such a large area of primeval forest in such a small place as Japan, and it is not easy to see such a large area of primeval forest in China now. In such a large area, it is like sand falling into the Pacific Ocean when one person enters, no wonder the blood jade can't find Ashiya Hikari.

I flew around this forest sea, and it was estimated that the area was three or four thousand kilometers, and there were no people at all. Although Xiaoxue can sense a large area, it will take several days to go through the sea of trees, and if Ashiya Hikaru is hiding in a cave or underground, we may not be able to spot him even if we pass nearby.

I noticed a road running through the southern end of the sea of trees, and there was a place on the side of the road that was glowing a little dim. If there is a light, there are people who live, and Ashiya Hikaru has been hiding here for a long time, maybe he can't hold it back and will run out to find a hot coffee to drink, so it's better to try his luck.

I landed where there were lights, and there were a few wooden houses lined up along the road, with signs hanging outside, judging by the ghostly Japanese characters, which should be inns and shops, but now they were closed, except for one inn with a light on at the door. In this boundless darkness and cold, this dim light not only does not give people a sense of security, but has the feeling of an eerie haunted shop.

I walked through the thick snow, and the footprints of someone walking in front of the inn also sensed that there was an elderly man in bed. I knocked heavily on the door, and an old voice came from inside, cursing in Japanese and not wanting to get up. I continued to bang on the door, and the noise was so loud that it was thrilling in the quiet of the night, and the snow on the roof was shaking down.

The old man could not lie down anymore, and came out to open the door, he was fifty or sixty years old, quite tall, with a gray beard, waving his fist at me and screaming angrily.

I shrugged my shoulders: "Can you speak Chinese?" ”

The old man was stunned for a moment, and shouted in standard Chinese: "If you don't want to live, you will hang yourself and quarrel with me for something?" ”

"I didn't want to hang myself, did I?" I'm really puzzled, why do the people I meet today think I'm going to commit suicide, are the Japanese sick in the brain?

The old man roared: "You don't bring a backpack, you come here alone this season, what are you doing if you don't want to commit suicide?" Do you want to die and play pranks to annoy me, an old man? ”

"I'm very sorry, my car broke down, it's so far from here, I walked here to ask for help, can you give me some hot water? I can give you money. ”

The old man's attitude immediately changed, and he even said sorry, invited me in, and explained as he went. Because there are no tourists in this season, almost all the people who come here alone without saluting or carrying only a small backpack are self-killing, so he misunderstood.

It seemed that there was really something wrong with this place, and I asked, "Are there many people who have come here to commit suicide?" ”

The old man poured me hot water and said, "Yes, this is the best place to commit suicide, go a little further inside, no one will be able to find the body when you die." Every year before heavy snowfall, the police come to search the mountain, and hundreds of bodies are found, and many others are not found. ”

With "professional sensitivity", I immediately thought that there was something wrong with this place, what attracted so many people to come here to commit suicide? In such a fierce and evil place, is there no master to rectify it? Perhaps this was originally deliberately created by a certain evil sect master, and a large number of corpses and resentful spirits are the most basic and important materials for evil cultivation. ”

The old man's name is Naoki Nakayama, and he is a very bold and talkative person, and he used to persuade people who killed themselves, but today the main reason is that I knocked on the door too rudely. He said that there is magnetite in the ground of this sea of trees, and the compass will fail here, and the tree species are relatively single, and they all look similar, so it is easy for people who walk into the woods to get lost and die in it. For decades, it has been called a "suicide mecca" and "forest of death", and almost everyone in Japan knows about it, as it attracts hundreds of people to commit suicide every year.
