Inside the Dotonbori Hotel in Okinawa, Japan.

Li Mengzhu was telling me what happened that night. In fact, Li Mengzhu's eloquence has been getting better and better lately, and it soon brought me into the scene of that night.

I said vigorously as I smoked a Japanese specialty, a hard box of Seven Star Illusion light-flavored mint cigarettes. "What did Sachiko see at the time?"

Li Mengzhu looked at me. With a wry smile, "Of course it's a kappa!" ”

Before coming to Japan, I had deliberately looked up relevant information on the Internet, so I asked Li Mengzhu at this time, "The height of the kappa should be about 60 cm to 1 meter tall, and the weight is only 45 kg. And there is mucus on the body. Could it be that what Sachiko saw at that time was this kind of "monster"? ”

"No!" Li Mengzhu shook his head. Let's move on.

……

At the time, Sachiko saw not what was described on the Internet.

What she saw was a hand. Suddenly it came out of the river, and then. The hand moved quickly, grabbed the thigh of a man on the shore like lightning, and began to pull hard into the river! Then, it didn't take long, no more than a second before and after, and the man was completely dragged into the river with a "poof" sound.

With the ripples of the water splashing in circles, it quickly calmed down, and the man "disappeared" without a trace in the blink of an eye, as if he was pulled to hell in an instant by that mysterious hand!

At that moment, all the people present were completely frightened and soon ran away without a trace. And what made Sachiko feel even more shocked at that time was the hand that suddenly stretched out from the water. And the man who was dragged down the river was actually Yoshida!

……

Hearing this, I finally couldn't help but interrupt Li Mengzhu's words again, and said with a frown, "How do you know that the man who was dragged down at that time must be Yoshida?"

"Because according to Sachiko's later description, during the whole process of the man being pulled into the water, although the time before and after was very short, only two or three seconds, Sachiko still found a shoe left by the man on the shore nearby, and when Sachiko saw it, she immediately recognized it......"

I said, "Yoshida's shoes?" ”

Li Mengzhu nodded, "Yes." It was a very simple pair of canvas shoes with a hand-drawn pattern by Sachiko herself. In addition, the shape of this shoe has also been improved by Sachiko, because Yoshida is a person who was born with a little deformity on his right foot, and if the shoes he just bought are not treated, Yoshida will feel very uncomfortable, so Sachiko will carefully help Yoshida change his shoes every time like a wife. ”

I thought about it, carefully recreating the situation in my mind, and after a while, I said, "So, after Sachiko found out that the shoes were actually Yoshida's, she plucked up her courage and walked over tremblingly?" ”

Li Mengzhu said, "Yes." Sachiko walked over and was about to pick up the shoes when she suddenly found ...... It was in that river that she saw the water rapidly stained red with blood, and at that moment, when Sachiko looked into the river with her teeth chattering, she saw a blurred human face quickly disappear into the depths of the river. Not long after, another hand came out of the river very strangely, Sachiko finally couldn't help it, let out an extremely piercing scream, turned around and ran, but before he ran a few steps, Sachiko heard a "pop", that strange hand, actually "flew" out of the river, followed Sachiko closely, and later when Sachiko escaped, that hand also patted Sachiko's shoulder in mid-air......"

Hearing this, I couldn't help but interrupt Li Mengzhu's words again. "Are you sure you have a hand that can fly out of the river on its own?"

Li Mengzhu said with a serious expression, "The situation at that time seemed to be like this. ”

I asked, "Where is Sachiko now?" ”

Li Mengzhu sighed and said, "Since something like that happened, she has been in a trance, and now she stays at home every day, staying at home, and occasionally when the family mentions Yoshida, Sachiko will tremble all over." Later, this incident spread in Okinawa, and when the super group heard about it, they wanted to investigate the whole thing. However, we have been guarding the Dotonbori River for many days, and even the surrounding river basin has been searched, but we still have not found any trace of the kappa. So I always had a feeling that I was being fooled. In the end, Li Mengzhu's tone was a little helpless, and finally made a summary, "It's still much more interesting to be with you." ”

I didn't have the heart to joke with her at the moment. Because through what Li Mengzhu just said, I have summarized the following points, which are the key points of the whole thing.

First, Sachiko and a bunch of foreign tourists before, in the sea of Manzamo, strictly speaking, only the Italian tourist saw an extremely strange hand with his own eyes. (I don't know why, at this time, I can't help but think of the white-walled night eye incident I once experienced, if the eye can be separated from the human body and exist alone, does it mean that one hand can also do it?) Then, according to Li Mengzhu's description, around the river in Dotonbori, there were also dozens of people who witnessed a hand suddenly popping out of the river with a "bang". Not only that, but this hand was able to magically "fly" out of the river, and also patted Sachiko on the shoulder.

Second, this hand was extremely powerful, and in less than three seconds, the man by the river (according to Li Mengzhu's description) violently dragged him by the thigh and dragged him into the water alive, and this man was actually Sachiko's boyfriend Yoshida.

Thirdly, after the incident, the supergroup intervened in the investigation, but they stayed by the river for a while, and did not find that the so-called hand, the so-called kappa, appeared again.

……

To sum up, I think there are many doubts about this matter, and the two biggest doubts are.

Is the hand in Manza Mokai the same as the hand that appeared in the Dotonbori River? If the "master" of this hand is a mysterious kappa, a very strange creature that we cannot understand for the time being, why did it appear in the sea? The kappa should only appear in the river, right? There will definitely be a very significant difference between freshwater and seawater, especially in terms of salt content, as far as I know, the salt content of seawater should be about 3.5%~5%, while freshwater should only be 0.1~0.5%.

If it weren't for the kappa, the independent existence of one hand would seem even more terrifying than the white-walled night eye! Because after all, the night eye of the white wall is the wall during the day and the eye at night, and subjectively it cannot "move" on its own, but this strange hand can emerge from the sea and fly on its own? This is definitely beyond the comprehension of normal people.

In addition, a more important suspicion is that what Sachiko saw at that time was only Yoshida's shoes, and she did not fully see how Yoshida was dragged alive from the shore by that strange hand. And in the mysterious river, the bizarre appearance of human faces, and the blood stains in the river, it seems that everything has become an unsolvable mystery.

The whole thing is really strange from beginning to end, but it shouldn't have anything to do with the kappa anyway, right?

Thinking of this, I did have a feeling of being "fooled" from the bottom of my heart.

Anyway, although it was a bit strange, I couldn't get any interest in it, because it had nothing to do with me, and I didn't have any interest in Japanese women, so I just planned to come to Okinawa for a "vacation" and relax.

At this time, Li Mengzhu obviously saw that my mood was not high, glared at me fiercely, and said, "Aren't you going to help me think of a way?" "Estimate the Baba.

I said, "I'm not a supergroup person, and even if I find out the truth of this matter, it won't do me any good, right?" ”

Li Mengzhu sighed and said, "Okay, you can have fun here for a few days, and I will continue to investigate this matter clearly." In addition, Sister Shen will also arrive tomorrow, and all the members of Group C will be here by then, see what she thinks, I think Sister Shen must have a way. ”

I didn't figure out who "Sister Shen" was for a while, Li Mengzhu reminded me, "It's Shen Xiaoxi who you met once last time in Thailand, she is the leader of our Group C!" Don't you remember? ”

My mind instantly thought of that strong woman who was competitive and had a cold appearance.

I couldn't help but feel no longer in the mood to smoke, "I don't really have a good impression of this Shen Xiaoxi, she always seems to target me." ”

Li Mengzhu smiled and said with a little jealousy, "That's actually because in her heart, she has already recognized you, and she has studied everything about you very carefully." She usually has a very good attitude towards other people, very gentle, and just shows you that the impression you left on her is very special. ”

I said, "Come on, this kind of woman, I'm still far away, I don't want to say more after seeing it." By the way, how many people are in your group C? ”

Li Mengzhu looked at me meaningfully and said, "Group C is the women's army in the super group, and the team leader is Shen Xiaoxi, and there are currently five people at present, all of whom are from Asia." Would you like to be introduced? ”

I shook my head, "I'm not interested, I'm going to visit Okinawa's famous spots tomorrow." Speaking of this, I suddenly remembered something and reminded Li Mengzhu, "By the way, if you continue to investigate this matter, remember to be careful, especially that strange hand, I always feel like it was manipulated by humans." ”

Li Mengzhu nodded, "I know." You still care about me. Ha! Then I'll go first, I have to get up early tomorrow to pick up Sister Shen's plane! ”

I wanted to hold her, but Li Mengzhu walked fast. That night, I also walked along the river of Dotonbori for a while, and when it was getting dark, walking here alone was indeed different from the feeling of the day, especially when I thought of that strange hand, which could hold your leg in the middle of the night and drag you into the river quickly, it still felt a little oozing.

At this moment, I suddenly had the feeling that I was being watched secretly.
