Okinawa Rokjuyama cliff island.

The roaring bonfire lit up the faces of everyone present, and it was delicious to eat delicious barbecue on such a night, but I don't know why. With Chiyo's faint voice, she spoke more and more. The more we feel that we are losing all taste in our mouths.

This is how Chiyo's story begins.

"Have you seen a Japanese mystery movie called Manhunt? It's an old film from decades ago. ”

For today's young people, they may not have heard of this film, but for people in the sixties and seventies and earlier, this popular film in Asia caused a complete sensation as soon as it was released.

The film tells the story of Duqiu, an upright prosecutor. After being falsely accused, while evading the pursuit of the police, he insisted on tracking down the truth of his false accusation. The film was released in Japan on February 11, 1976. The starring Ken Takakura became a smash hit because of this movie. Of course, I've heard some of this movie, but I don't know what Chiyo's purpose is when she suddenly talks about this movie.

At this time, Chiyo looked at everyone and continued. In the film "Manhunt", there is a scene (I believe that anyone who has watched this film at the time will not forget) has a tense scene on the top floor of a high-rise building, in which the yin and yang bad guys on the screen shout at the delirious good guys: "Look. What a beautiful sky! If you jump, it will melt into the sky. Jump, didn't Nugura jump? Matsuda also jumped. So please jump in too. All you have to do is jump and you won't have to worry about anything! ”

At this moment, everyone didn't know why Chiyo specifically mentioned this scene in this film, so they were quietly waiting for her to continue.

Chiyo said unhurriedly, "Why does everyone remember that shot?" Actually, there is a reason for this. Because the real source of the footage, in our country, is recorded in history. ”

Shen Xiaoxi frowned, and at the same time said with some curiosity, "What record?" ”

Chiyomichi, "In World War II, thousands of Japanese soldiers and civilians jumped en masse from the cliffs on the island of Okinawa! At that time, none of those people were injured, and two were not mentally ill, but they were ...... during the day They jumped off the cliff en masse, no one knew why, at that time in our country, there were a few reports of this, but later, they could no longer be found. ”

Shen Xiaoxi said, "I seem to have an impression of this matter, because I seemed to have heard of this incident when I was investigating a bizarre case before. But I thought it was made up. ”

Chiyo shook his head slowly, and said in an extremely affirmative tone, "This matter is absolutely true, because the person in charge of reporting this matter at that time was my ancestor. When I was about seven or eight years old, I was still in my father's room, and I found some manuscripts left by my ancestors at that time...... Those manuscripts really recorded the situation at that time, but later, I never saw those manuscripts again, and I don't know where they went. ”

Li Mengzhu couldn't help but interject, "Even if this matter is true, what does it have to do with the jumping scene in the movie "Pursuit"? "The table is bloody.

Chiyomichi, "Because the cliff jumping incident has left a deep impression on some people in our country, many writers and directors will be imperceptibly impressed by this incident, and may use it casually when dealing with a certain plot." ”

Shen Xiaoxi let out an "oh" and said, "You just said that these people jumped off the cliff collectively without any reason?" I don't know where they jumped off the cliff ......"

Next, Chiyo's words instantly made several of us feel uncomfortable.

Because what Chiyo said at the time was, "It's on this cliff!" As she spoke, she pointed to the cliff a few hundred meters away, and we followed her finger to look over, only to see that the cliff was empty, and a gust of wind blew, and we all felt a little cold. Especially when I think back to the sentence that Chiyo just said, "Thousands of Japanese soldiers and civilians committed suicide for no reason", I feel that this cliff feels a little weird, and at the same time, it also makes people feel a little curious, why did those thousands of people jump off the cliff collectively for no reason? What kind of horrors did they experience that they couldn't think about it?

Later, fearing that we would not believe us, Chiyo led us to another path on the edge of the cliff, where there was no one but a winding path. At that time, Chiyo led the way and told us about the history of Okinawa.

Okinawa is not only the only subtropical resort in Japan, but also has a warm climate and clean air all year round, and its important geographical location gives Okinawa great military and strategic value: Guam, the largest sea and air base in the western Pacific Ocean of the United States, in the east, the Kuril Islands and the Korean Peninsula in the north, the Bashi Strait in the south, and the Taiwan Strait and all coastal areas in the west. Therefore, in the eyes of the US military, Okinawa has undoubtedly become the "cornerstone of the Pacific Ocean" and the "strategic hub of Asia" for the US military.

As a matter of fact, the United States has long taken a fancy to Okinawa's strategic value. As early as World War II, the United States and Japan launched a brutal and bloody struggle for this small island. Between March and June 1945, the United States and Japan fought the "Last Battle in the Pacific" on Okinawa. In this battle, more than 230,000 people were killed on both sides.

But what the U.S. military could never have imagined at that time was......

On this island of Okinawa, where there are only projectiles, there have been extremely strange "suicides for no reason!" one after another. "There were not only Japanese but also Americans who died!

And at this moment, just as Chiyo was saying this, under her leadership, we walked along the path for a while, and we saw a very tall tombstone!

The tombstone stood alone on the mountain, seven or eight meters high and at least four or five meters wide, looking eerie. Although it has a grand appearance, there is not a single tree next to it, and the bottom of the tombstone is overgrown with weeds, which looks very different from the scenery of other parts of the island, and the Japanese content engraved on the tombstone is also extremely strange, according to Chiyo, this inscription does not know when it was built, who built it, and what purpose it was erected here.

But anyone who knows Japanese will feel extremely strange when they read it.

Because the inscription written on the tombstone is actually ......

"Don't open the box!"

What does that mean?

As soon as I heard this, I also felt very puzzled, I had never heard of a tombstone anywhere similar to the content on the tombstone in front of me.

After thinking about it for a while, I wanted to ask Chiyo if it was a cultural difference, but what the Japanese really wanted to express was, "Don't open the coffin", and when translated into other countries, the "coffin" becomes a "box"? Because not to open the coffin, it is easy to understand, out of respect for the deceased, and it can also link the tombstone with the inscription very well.

But if it's a box...... It is impossible to make any reasonable speculation about what the box has to do with the tombstone of the dead, unless it is ...... Boxes can kill people.

At this time, just when I was puzzled, Shen Xiaoxi, who was standing next to me, suddenly showed a very strange expression, although the expression stayed on her face for a very short time, but I also immediately felt that Shen Xiaoxi's understanding of this sentence seemed to be deeper! Could it be that she has any other weird experiences that have anything to do with it?

It didn't take long for several girls present, including Li Mengzhu, Hong Kong's Su Xiangxiang, and Singapore's Wu Qing, to all begin to discuss the meaning of the sentence on the tombstone.

Shen Xiaoxi suddenly glanced at me, his expression was very complicated, and he stopped talking, "Jiang ...... Xiaohe, can you borrow a step to speak. ”

I wondered how her attitude towards me had suddenly changed so quickly at this time. In particular, the look on her face was very contradictory and hesitant, and for a moment, I thought that her appearance was very likely to have something to do with the content on the tombstone. If she doesn't listen now, when she doesn't want to say it, she may not be able to hear it.

At the same time, I was also aroused by Shen Xiaoxi's unusual attitude.

So I nodded. Shen Xiaoxi pulled me aside and said seriously, "Jiang Xiaohe, can I trust you?" ”

I didn't know what she was trying to say, so I didn't speak for a while. At this time, Li Mengzhu found that Shen Xiaoxi and I were alone, whispering, she was slightly surprised, but soon smiled at me again, and turned her head again.

Shen Xiaoxi looked at me at this time, as if waiting for my answer.

I thought silently for a long time, and said lightly, "If you don't target me often, maybe I'll make you trust." ”

Shen Xiaoxi said very seriously, "I'm not targeting you, it's just that I'm ...... Don't trust men very much. ”

I don't know why, but I always want to laugh when I hear this. Is it because Shen Xiaoxi was once hurt by a certain man, so he has this attitude? If you think about it carefully, in fact, this is also a very common psychology of some women in this society.

Shen Xiaoxi glared at me and said, "Jiang Xiaohe, are you laughing at me?" ”

I quickly shook my head, and said very seriously, "No! But the muscles in his face were shaking slightly. Shen Xiaoxi raised her hand, as if she wanted to hit me, but she quickly put her hand back and glared at me fiercely.

I feel that Shen Xiaoxi at this moment is very interesting, although he is glaring at me, there is also a smile in his eyes, which is very different from the attitude of looking at me and smiling before, in fact, his eyes are full of contempt and sarcasm.

Why do women always like duplicity?

"Sister Shen, let's talk about it, I know you have something in your heart that makes you restless, is it related to the content on the tombstone?" At this time, I didn't plan to continue talking nonsense with her, and went straight to the point.

Shen Xiaoxi hesitated for a moment, nodded slowly, and his two eyebrows suddenly wrinkled together.
