In the early hours of the morning of Tsuyo Day (Saturday), the sky is close to black and the temperature is low.

Haneda Airport in Tokyo.

7-Eleven convenience store.

The clerk who had stayed up all night was a little sleepy-eyed.

Kamiyagawa bought a cup of instant coffee here and waited for the flight check-in.

Outside, the waiting room occasionally honks and sizzles, and the shiny tiled floor reflects the hurried appearance of passengers dragging their suitcases.

While waiting, Kamiyagawa received a message from [Purple Above].

This big guy's recent routine is a bit underworld, and the timing of sending messages and replying to messages is completely irregular-

[Above the Purple]: "Hey, hey! Things are almost over on my side, but what about you? How's the big thing you said before? ”

[Honest Outlander]: "The process was a little tortuous, but the result was good. All in all, it was successfully completed. ”

[Above the Purple]: "Congratulations. ”

[Honest Outlander]: "What about you? Did you get things done? ”

[Above the Purple]: "None of them have been completed!" A complete failure! ”

[Above Purple]: "But it doesn't matter. Anyway, it's over, and I took a lot of hard money, so I should go on a trip. ”

[Honest Outlander]: "When traveling? Where have you been? ”

[Purple above]: "Tokyo! You're right, you live near Tokyo. ”

[Honest Outlander]: "Hmm. Next time you come to Tokyo, let me know in advance, maybe I can treat you to dinner. ”

[Honest stranger]: "Thank you for always being so enthusiastic about helping me answer my questions." ”

[Purple above]: "Hahaha~ Okay, next time." This time by all means. ”

[Purple Top]: "Speaking of which, I don't really like a metropolis like Tokyo, but it's better to be a place like Kanagawa. It's too hot in Tokyo. ”

[Honest Outlander]: "Hahaha. I don't really like Tokyo either. ”

[Honest foreigner]: "Let's not talk about it for now, I'm going to catch a plane, big guy." ”

[Above the Purple]: "Are you also traveling?" ”

[Honest Outlander]: "Sort of." ”

[Above the Purple]: "Then I wish you a smooth journey." ”

"Attention passengers going to Fukuoka International Airport: Your flight NH239 is now available for boarding. Please bring your belongings, show your boarding pass, and board the aircraft through Gate 2. Have a great trip. Thank you! ”

Amid the sound of the airport radio, Kamiyagawa finished his coffee and left the convenience store.

Check-in, security, boarding.

Everything works fine.

From Haneda Airport to Fukuoka Airport, it takes about 2 hours to fly.

After taking his seat, Kamiyagawa fastened his seat belt, closed his eyes, and fell asleep in a daze.

Catching a cheap flight in the early hours of the morning is physically and mentally tiring.

It's been a long time.

The plane turned on the taxiing lights and accelerated from the runway, supporting the passengers in the cabin to be expectant, excited, or sleepy, and blend into the gray sky.

……

Fukuoka City, Inuaki Pass.

After several rounds of transportation, it was already noon, and Kamiyagawa finally came to this area.

He came here by taxi.

The taxi stopped at an intersection on Inuming Highway.

In the early years, the entire Fukuoka area was closed off, and the only thing open to the outside was the outermost Inunaki Highway.

As for the roads leading to the interior of Inuaki Pass, they have all been blocked by barricades and cannot be opened to traffic.

The only way to walk inside the marked point on the second map is on foot.

When he got down from the rental and was about to pay, the uncle who opened the rental looked at Kamiya River twice: "Young man, you can't be going to Inumaki Village to explore, right?" ”

"No, I'm just here to have a look."

"See? What's so nice about this? It's not uncle, I'm scaring you, there are a lot of strange things in this area, and it's very evil. "The taxi uncle's Kansai accent is kind and persuasive.

"I know, thank you for reminding me, uncle." Kamiyagawa barely managed to squeeze out a smile.

The taxi uncle saw that he couldn't persuade the young man to die, so he stopped, and after collecting the money, he drove away quickly with one foot on the accelerator.

It seems that he is reluctant to stay near the Inuming Highway for long.

Seeing the taillights of the taxi drift away, Kamiyagawa turned around, the three-way road he was currently standing, the small road on the north side that led to the interior of Inunaki Pass.

It can be seen that the small road has been blocked with several stone barricades, and there is a "no entry" paint stripping warning sign standing on the side.

"It's noon, I hope there won't be any chaos near this hellish place."

Kamiyagawa stretched out his hand and took out the [Blood-stained Wood Knife] from the [Mirage Cloth Bag].

Then open the "Strange Tales of Strange Things" on your phone, and follow the instructions of the 3D panoramic map to move forward over the barricades and warning signs.

The trees on both sides of the road are lush and green, blocking out the summer sun.

The young man with a wood knife walked among them, and his empty left hand made a strange gesture, and a crackling blue arc of light instantly exploded around his body.

Before officially entering the strange land, pinch the five thunder fingers.

While dispelling the possible wandering spirit obsession around you, you can also seek good luck.

……

I walked on the abandoned road for about 40 minutes, and it was 1 p.m.

The current location of the Kamiya River has penetrated deep into the Inunaki Mountain.

The road surface is covered with a thick layer of dead branches and leaves, and no one cleans it.

It's soft and collapsed when you step on it, and it's a little unrealistic.

The vegetation here is more dense, the sun falls through the lush branches and leaves, and there is less temperature. There was silence all around, except for the occasional chirping of insects and birds.

"Shhh Kamiyagawa took out a thin coat from the [Mirage Cloth Bag] and put it on.

Inside the dog pass, the temperature seems to be much cooler than outside.

Of course, this may simply be due to the fact that the area is already deep in the forest.

Taking advantage of the time to stop, Kamiyagawa carefully calibrated the map route again.

"The straight-line distance from the marked point is about 1.3 kilometers. If you go faster, you can open a map and come out, and you will definitely be able to leave this hellish place before dark. ”

Kamiyagawa is back in action.

The location of the marker point is shown as the mouth of the dog tunnel.

In the entire dog singing area, there are two dog tunnels, the old and the new.

The new one, located on the outermost Inuming Highway, is still open to traffic.

And the map indicates that Kamiyagawa is looking for the old one, which has been abandoned for a long time in the depths of Inuming Mountain.

The Old Dog Tunnel itself is an extremely famous supernatural point, where many supernatural incidents and murders have occurred.

In folklore, there is another saying.

As long as you pass through the old Inuaki Tunnel, you can reach the area of Inuaki Pass, which exists in the legendary supernatural location - Inuakiya Village.
