Chapter 50: Huh? What's that?
'Mt. Rebun', this is the name of the highest peak of Rebun Island.
As a small island with a permanent population of less than 4,000, even the highest peak, Mt. Rebun, is only more than 400 meters above sea level, and following the path between the trees, Kiyosuke soon reached the top of the mountain.
"This Liwen Yue is still an extinct volcano." Kiyosuke paced slowly around the top of the mountain, and his spiritual power went deep into the bottom to explore the structure of the mountain.
After circling around the top of the mountain a few times, Kiyosuke's brow furrowed slightly, and he didn't even notice where the innkeeper said the body was.
The entire top of the mountain was clean as if there had been no accidents, not to mention the breath of blood footprints, and Seisuke had not even found any traces and breath of the corpse.
"Something is not quite right at the top of this mountain, it is too quiet, there are no animals or insects." Kiyosuke's brow furrowed deeply, sensing something was wrong.
Although the trees on the top of the mountain are not luxuriant, there are still a lot of bushes, as well as a small number of pine trees and other green plants, and at this moment it is almost dusk, there should be continuous insect chirping in the jungle, but at this time the top of the mountain is quiet to hear the needle.
If it weren't for the fact that his body could still sense the power of nature, Seisuke would even think that he had entered the Phantom Array Enchantment.
But even the power of nature seems to have changed here, and it is clearly the power of vitality, but Kiyosuke senses a faint intent to die from it.
"I'm afraid there are still many secrets in this village." Kiyosuke's eyes narrowed slightly, and he decided to withdraw from the top of the mountain first.
At this time, the sky has gradually darkened, and in less than an hour, the sun will completely go down, and the top of the mountain after dark may be even more weird, without any life, it is like a kind of alternative ghost.
When going up the mountain, Kiyosuke takes the sightseeing passage that is open for tourists to explore, and because it is a road facing the village, this road can also be seen in the village.
But on the way down the mountain, he was going to pass on the other side of the mountain, that is, the side with his back to the village.
Unlike the road facing the village, the back side of Mt. Rebun faces the sea, and there are many cliffs that are very steep.
If it were an ordinary person, it would not be possible to pass from this side at all, but this did not have any effect on Kiyosuke.
I saw Kiyosuke jump down from a cliff of tens of meters with a slight jump, and when he was about to land, his right leg fell on the canopy not far away with a slight kick on the cliff wall.
"There's still no trace of life here." Kiyosuke frowned slightly, and then he leaped slightly, like a dexterous ape, as quickly as he made his way through the jungle.
The entire cliff is in the shape of a ladder, divided into several sections of cliffs, and Kiyosuke felt the breath of life when he jumped off the second cliff.
"I'm afraid it's more than 100 meters above sea level from the top of the mountain." Kiyosuke's eyes narrowed slightly, looking at the top of the mountain.
The situation on this mountain was far more serious than he had imagined, and more than two-thirds of the mountainside had no trace of life except for vegetation and vegetation.
"Huh? Something on the mountainside? ”
Kiyosuke frowned, and the moment he looked up, he saw a shimmering light that seemed to flash in the jungle above the mountainside.
"Rustling~" The leaves trembled slightly, and Kiyosuke kicked his legs hard, flying straight towards the edge of the cliff on the previous floor.
At this time, the sky had become much darker, and the side that Seisuke chose to descend the mountain was to the west, so there was still the last pale yellow sunlight shining directly into the jungle.
In a few breaths, Kiyosuke quickly jumped to the place where he had seen the sparkling light just now, but what he didn't expect was that there was a natural hot spring here, and the sparkling light just now was the hot spring pool reflecting under the direct rays of the sunset.
"How can this spring be as gloomy as a ghost." Kiyosuke's brows furrowed into Sichuan characters, his eyes fixed on this strange spring.
The spring under his gaze is not abnormal, but Kiyosuke's 'god' can feel that there is a lot of strange aura left near the spring, but for some reason, it seems to be crushed under the surface of the water.
After hesitating for a moment, Kiyosuke did not rush into the water to investigate, not only because he might startle the snake, but also because the sunset had begun to turn red at this time, indicating that the sun was about to set in less than twenty minutes.
Taking a deep look at the clear spring water, Kiyosuke jumped lightly on his legs, and in a few breaths, he returned to the bottom of the cliff.
"Rustling~" The leaves trembled, and Kiyosuke followed the jungle all the way to the side of the road at the foot of the mountain, and after crossing the cliff just now, the jungle below the mountainside began to return to normal, and the birds, beasts and insects also returned to the woods.
"The innkeeper's words are half-true, and the bloodstained footprints are true, but he lied in the direction of the footprints."
"The corpse should be true, but the place where it was found may not be on the top of the mountain." Kiyosuke said secretly in his heart.
After exploring the top of the mountain, not to mention the traces of the female corpse, even the traces of human footsteps have almost disappeared, and it seems that no one has been on the summit for at least a month or so, and a lot of weeds have grown in the gaps of the stone steps.
"This island is much more complicated than it seems." Kiyosuke strolled under the street lamp and walked towards the village not far away.
Upon returning to the village, Kiyosuke noticed that the village seemed to be a little different from the daytime, not only because there were almost no pedestrians on the road, but also because the whole village seemed to have become much more depressed.
It feels like returning to the top of Mount Rebun.
It's just that there are still a few insects and lights in the village, and it is not so lifeless, but the oppressive atmosphere is dead over the village, like an invisible net.
Almost all the restaurants in the village stopped opening after the sun went down, and after looking for a long time, Kiyosuke finally found a restaurant that was still open and packed dinner.
Although he hadn't gone to investigate the crime scene today, this strange village had already aroused his curiosity, and now Kiyosuke's goal was not only to be in the murder hotel, but also to know why the mountain was so weird, as if half of the mountain had died.
Looking up at the few rooms that were lit up, Kiyosuke walked into the entrance of the hostel with his dinner, the front desk was empty, and the boss who talked to him during the day didn't know where he went.
Walking up the wooden stairs to the third floor, Kiyosuke returned to the room he had booked, his luggage was only a few clothes, all of which were placed in the space, so there was nothing else in the room.
Sitting on the couch, Kiyosuke took a piece of sushi out of his bag and ate it while searching the terminal for information about the island.
According to his investigation, that mountain peak should have been dead for many years, I'm afraid it wasn't just because of the influence of that female corpse, otherwise it would be impossible to kill half of the mountain in a month just based on the death qi he saw.
However, this check really made him find something.
