Fog is an important medium for scene changes, and the presence of fog is present with the appearance of Kiritaro and the arrival of Tsukasa Kurihara and Watanabe, as is Nishijima.

At this time, Sato, who was lying on the ground, woke up slowly. Waking up this time without something stimulating, he managed to see the whole scene clearly, and also saw Tsukasa Kurihara and Watanabe.

The rope on Sato's body had been untied, and he touched his neck, which was smooth and without any wounds, which made him feel like the previous experience had happened in a dream. However, the residual pain and fear in his body told him that things were not as simple as dreams.

His gaze swept back and forth between Tsukasa Kurihara and Watanabe, and he didn't see Kishijiro's ability to think gradually return.

"Where is this? Who are you? Sato asked.

Tsukasa Kurihara and Watanabe looked at each other to understand what the other party thought, and it would take a lot of effort to explain the situation to Sato, he was an ordinary person who was directly put into a strange environment, and he also experienced kidnapping and bloodletting, which is different from the situation of Watanabe and Nishijima.

So Tsukasa Kurihara only asked, "Have you ever encountered fog?" ”

"Mist?" Sato narrowed his eyes and thought for a moment, "Isn't it very foggy in the suburbs of Tokyo tonight?" Don't you see? ”

Really. Tsukasa Kurihara has an idea in his heart, and Sato's experience can probably see the fog as an important clue to leave the world.

There is also a fog in the rumors that Kishijiro said, and when he first arrived, he was in the fog, and then he disappeared when he became a shelter in front of him.

But Tsukasa Kurihara, who is a strange talker, does not have this layer of cover in front of him. The situation is a bit like Silent Hill, where the real world and the surface world correspond to each other, and the monsters become weird. But it is obviously fundamentally different from Silent Hill.

This world is not purely a reflection of people's inner world, it has its own history, and the weirdos have their own ideas.

Noting this down and combining it with Nishijima's understanding of the strange tale response from the book, Tsukasa Kurihara's intuition told him that the answer might be in the side room that Kishijiro took him to at the end.

There will be a book on the shelves that addresses the current situation.

"I have a clue." Tsukasa Kurihara said, "Watanabe Crime, you wait here for a while, or go and see the fog near the shrine." ”

"Hmm." Watanabe gave the reins to Tsukasa Kurihara.

Sato next to him was still confused: "By the way, can someone tell me what happened?" ”

Tsukasa Kurihara strode out of the main hall and walked forward, the side room was on the other side of the stone path, and as he walked out, Tsukasa Kurihara saw Nishijima and the bantam horse. The bantam saw Tsukasa Kurihara faster than Nishijima, his eyes lit up, and after hissing, he galloped over with four hooves and appeared in front of Tsukasa Kurihara in a blink of an eye.

"Puff puff." Bantam horses are happily bubbling hot bubbles, more excited than around Nishijima.

Tsukasa Kurihara was surprised by the sudden appearance of the horses and looked up to Nishijima. She stood in the middle of the stone path looking at Tsukasa Kurihara, with a green mountain and green water behind her, and the village lying obediently behind her.

The beauty of the scene seems to come out of the painting, and the West Island in the center is also very suitable for this picture. She has long hair and a shawl, and wears a red and white shrine maiden costume.

Pause for a second.

Miko costumes?

Tsukasa Kurihara then noticed a change in what he saw as Nishijima's modern dress. The witch costume is very suitable for her, and inexplicably shows her weak but tenacious temperament.

"Kurihara-san." Say hello to Nishijima.

The sound of the voice focused Tsukasa Kurihara's eyes, and at the same time, Nishijima's clothes returned to normal. Tsukasa Kurihara inexplicably avoided Nishijima's gaze, and subconsciously touched the bantam, only then calmed down and said to Nishijima in a deep voice: "Nishijima, come here." ”

"Huh?" Nishijima didn't know what it was, but he walked over anyway.

Tsukasa Kurihara looked at Nishijima carefully, and saw that Nishijima was furious and thought that he had done something wrong, but Tsukasa Kurihara didn't say anything. Nishijima could only break the deadlock by having nothing to say: "This horse was changed from a stone statue, just now." So it's weird too? ”

"The stone statue in the shrine is too aggrieved if you want to say that it is a strange story, although in essence there is not much difference between the two." Tsukasa Kurihara responded, "It is the guardian saint of the shrine, and other shrines also have it." ”

"Ah, come to think of it, are those dogs?"

"That's a lion, called a dog."

“····· I'm sorry. Nishijima folded his hands and bowed.

"It's okay, anyway, the patron saint of this shrine is a horse." Tsukasa Kurihara walked as he spoke, and the conversation room had already reached the door of the side room, and the bantam horse followed the two to the door, and his tail flicked very angrily.

After speaking, Tsukasa Kurihara stopped: "It's here." ”

"Huh?"

Tsukasa Kurihara pushed the door open, and Nishijima saw the books on the shelves.

"The books here." As soon as Tsukasa Kurihara said Nishijima, he understood that the books on the shelves were all books that described the world.

Tsukasa Kurihara walked over to the bookshelf and turned to Nishijima and said, "The place where you are standing is where that guy committed suicide, and there may be some ashes that I didn't clean up." ”

Nishijima was taken aback and hurriedly retreated to the side.

"Lie to you. That's where you're standing now. ”

“！”

Tsukasa Kurihara brought up the matter before the outbreak in Nishijima: "You see that there is a fog outside the shrine, and the same is true of Watanabe Crime. But I don't see it, I'm not the same world as you see it. ”

Nishijima didn't know why Tsukasa Kurihara suddenly brought it up, but she listened carefully, and Tsukasa Kurihara took out a book and handed it to her.

"The answer is in these books, fog." Tsukasa Kurihara explained, "There was fog when Watanabe and I came, Sato as well, and I think you should be too. ”

"If I'm not mistaken, the key point to leave this world is here, the fog connects the two worlds." "We now have a huge advantage. Strange talk can only see the world of strange talk, human beings can only see the world after the cover-up, and we happen to see both. ”

"Don't you think that if there is a way back to the real world, then the two should be connected as well?"

Tsukasa Kurihara's voice fell Nishijima and felt empowered: "So we just need to find that connection point!" ”

"That's right." Tsukasa Kurihara affirmed, "This needs to be all together." Now let's find out the books about fog. ”

"Hmm."

Nishijima has her own natural skills when it comes to reading, and she always finds the point quickly.

After the task was assigned, the two began to look through the books. There are the most books on the introduction of shrine items, shrine cleaning, and shrine maintenance, as well as books on the customs and customs of Mount Kinabalu and obscure religious culture.

What surprised Tsukasa Kurihara the most during the search for books was that many of the books were written in Chinese, such as ancient classical Chinese. But it's normal to think about it.

"Kurihara-san, it's kanji on this book. We don't understand it·····" Nishijima worried.

"I can." Kurihara didn't raise his head, "Find the book first, I can take you out." ”

Nishishima put his mind at ease, glanced at him and kept complaining in his heart: So you said before that you couldn't go back to scare me? Demon Lord of Bad Tastes!
