The moment she stepped into this lush forest, Senxia felt an inexplicable chill invade her, making her shiver violently.

"Dansheng Valley, you won't be afraid, right?" Aiharagawa, a member of the Paranormal Society who stopped and waited in front of him, laughed, he was about 1.7 meters tall, wearing glasses, and his speech was a little unpleasant.

"Of course you're not afraid of being from the Psychic Society," Ryoko Inoue, who belongs to the same drama club as Mori Xia, retorted for her friend: "We're just here to travel and collect materials!" ”

As she spoke, she looked at the young man at the front of the team, wanting to see what kind of attitude the other party had.

The young man who walked in the forefront had long hair, covering half of his face quite in the middle of the second, his skin was pale, and his excellent appearance revealed a gloomy and handsome temperament.

"Yes, yes, yes." Ryoko Inoue looked at the people and didn't reply, but Aihara Kawa dealt with it casually.

"Huh~" Senxia wanted to look into the distance of the woods, but his eyes were blocked by dense greenery, compared to the "green" of other forests, the trees and flowers here have quite a strange bright green.

"Isn't it too risky for us to travel here now that the transcendent has manifested?" Mori Xia picked up the mobile phone, and they were just standing on the edge of the sea of trees in Aokigahara, and the mobile phone signal weakened.

"Afraid of what? It's not the sixties and seventies of the last century. Aihara Chuan pointed to the sign in front of him and said: "See, there are signs with scenic spot signs, and there are not a few people who come to this place every year."

Besides, this year is so hot, this is a good place to go, satisfy our curiosity and have fun at the same time. ”

Sen Xia was noncommittal, she looked left and right, and found that there were indeed some figures who had come to travel walking around in the forest.

Aokigahara, which is said to be a "forest of death" and a "forest of suicide", seems to have been transformed into a tourist destination long ago.

"Let's go," said Watanabeike, a gloomy handsome guy at the forefront, "Our goal is not to open up a completely new path rather than the famous 'Lake Shojin' and 'Ice Cave'. ”

Ryoko Inoue immediately said: "I heard that the ice cave also marked the arrival event, and there is nothing at Shojin Lake, only a trail that does not end, and it is also the first choice for couples to commit suicide." ”

"Judging by the instructions on the Total Suicide Handbook, that's right." Watanabe Ikemichi, then walked forward.

Mori Xia looked at Ryoko Inoue and Watanabeike, when she came, she saw that there was something wrong with these two people, and every time Ryoko Inoue spoke, she wanted to attract Watanabeike's attention.

'Heh~The youth of a young man~' Sen Xia muttered in her heart, and suddenly shook her head vigorously, she always felt that this sentence would bring her to the second generation.

In the setting of her middle two years, she is a real magician who is over 500 years old and still alive, and it is normal to speak in this tone.

"What's wrong, Dansheng Valley?" Aihara Chuan said with concern.

Senxia immediately showed his trademark smile, "I'm fine, thank you." ”

"You have to tell me something," Aihara Chuan glanced at Mori Xia's pretty face, his eyes skimmed unnaturally, and said, "If you're tired, I can help you carry your bag." ”

"No thanks." Senxia politely refused, and the character she set up in the first semester of the private Ginkgo Gakuen High School was very successful, at least in the hearts of most ordinary boys, Dansheng Gu Senxia can be classified as a 'goddess' level existence.

"Ren Senxia is a member of the former cheerleading team, and his physical strength is much better than Ling." Ryoko Inoue smiled, she couldn't get used to seeing the unself-aware Aihara River harass Mori Xia.

Aihara Chuan smiled stiffly and said to himself: "Helping women is a man's virtue. ”

No one paid attention, Aihara Chuan became more and more stiff, Sen Xia shook his head slightly, and while surpassing Aihara Chuan, he whispered: "Hurry up, otherwise we will fall behind." ”

"Yes!" Aihara Chuan tightened his backpack and hurried to catch up.

Watanabe-ike, who leads the way, walks on the path marked 'Lake Shojin', which is full of vines, many holes caused by the cooling of the lava, uneven roads, and the occasional sunlight that penetrates the leaves into the forest, all of which are mixed together to make the place look extraordinarily strange.

As everyone deepened, the heat brought by the summer had completely dissipated, and the cold in the forest continued to erode Sen Xia's body temperature, even if she was always moving, she felt a trace of coolness.

Suddenly, Watanabeike in front of him changed the road, it was a path hidden in the trees, it was obvious that not many people had walked it, pine needles, fallen leaves, weeds, and stumbling vines spread out, causing Ryoko Inoue, who was following him closely, to make his movements pause.

"Watanabe-kun?"

Watanabeike looked back and said, "If you go over there, there is another spot that has been developed in the same way, and there is a hidden path here. Don't worry, I'll make marks along the way, we won't get lost. ”

Ryoko Inoue swallowed a mouthful of saliva and stepped in.

Mori Xia and Aihara Chuan looked at each other, Aihara Chuan saw that delicate face, the fear in his heart retreated, he patted his chest with his hand, and stepped out, "Follow me!" ”

A confused expression flashed on Senxia's face, what did she want to express?

"It's too dangerous to go inside!" Mori Xia shouted to the front, "Wouldn't it be nice to go to Lake Shojin?" ”

Watanabeike stopped and replied, "Then you go with Inoue, and I'll go on an adventure with Aihara." ”

Ryoko Inoue immediately said: "We have all come to Aokigahara, we must pursue excitement!" Be sure to go on an adventure! Mori Xia, I'm going to go inside and have a look, there's Watanabe-kun, no problem! ”

Sen Xia was helpless, she took out her mobile phone, and sure enough, there was no signal at all.

She looked ahead again, and Watanabeike said to make a mark, but he didn't do anything.

Mori Xia pulled out his knife and made a mark on a nearby tree.

After walking for less than ten minutes, Senxia suddenly saw a warning sign that read: "Life is a precious gift from your parents!" ”

"A notice for those who commit suicide." Aihara Chuan looked at it and said, "There is data from the police, there are two hundred suicides here in Aokihara every year, but the actual number will only be more than that, you know." Every year, volunteers and rangers form teams to search for the remains in the forest, and I heard that more than 400 bodies were found last year. ”

Mori Xia nodded silently, she had done her homework before she came, it is said that someone had come here to commit suicide a long time ago, and the wave of suicides in modern times was in the 60s of the last century, and that was because of the effect of a play called "Tower of Waves".

The male and female protagonists of the unruly love in the play chose to commit suicide in Aokihara at the end, so that many unwilling Yingzhou people rushed to imitate them.

Since most of the suicides committed suicide in Aokigahara were hanged, it is rumored that the villagers who lived nearby during that time often heard the creepy sound of ropes rubbing against wooden bark in the middle of the night.

In the new century, the means of suicide have also become diversified, and suicide victims will trek through mountains and rivers to find a place they think is a 'feng shui treasure', and then commit suicide with poison or sleeping pills.

There are also various bizarre suicide methods, such as suicide by throwing themselves into the lake and freezing to death in the snow.

Mori Xia took a deep breath, and the cold in the forest poured into the breathing pipe, causing the girl to cough a few times and continue to walk forward.

It didn't go far before another wooden sign appeared in front of me, covered with moss and damp underneath, with the words "Please consult the police before deciding to commit suicide!" ”

"Did you decide to commit suicide or consult with the police?" Senxia pursed his lips and took out his mobile phone, but there was still no signal, where to consult the police?

"It's good to look at this brand, it doesn't have any practical effect." Aihara said with a smile, "People who commit suicide with a strong belief will not be shaken by a slogan or two. ”

Seeing that Mori Xia didn't say anything, Aihara Chuan couldn't wait to show his erudition, so he said, "Dansheng Valley, do you know how the police used to go into the forest to search for the body?" ”

Sure enough, Senxia looked at it.

Aihara Chuan was slightly happy in his heart, and when he was about to speak, the girl said directly: "In the past, when Aokihara was not developed into a scenic spot, there was no map of the forest, and the police officers were afraid of hearing the legend, so they would tie ropes around their waists, one after another, until they were tied to the police car outside the forest. ”

"Dansheng Valley, you know so much." Aihara Kawa smiled, he mainly wanted to talk to the other party more.

"Senxia, hurry up!" Ryoko Inoue, who was standing on a thick vine in front of her, waved her hand while glancing at Aihara River, "That's definitely more than you, Mori Natsu is a representative of the new students." ”

Watanabeike, who was walking at the forefront, did not speak and moved forward silently.

Half an hour later, Mori Natsu, who was walking behind Ryoko Inoue, squinted his eyes and looked ahead, pointed to a white shadow and said, "What is that?" ”

"What?"

"Look at that!"

Everyone followed Mori Xia's guidance, and sure enough, in a bright green gray and black, they saw a color that did not match Aokihara at all.

"Hanged himself." Watanabe Chi said indifferently: "Let's go, let's take a look." ”

"Don't go," Ryoko Inoue grabbed Watanabeike, and the expression on her little face was not very good-looking.

"It's all too common to see suicides in Aokihara." Watanabeike ignored it and continued to move forward: "Before World War II, the domestic economy was not good, and people in many nearby villages would throw the elderly and babies in, and there were too many people who died in Aokihara, and our school was still built on the cemetery, what are you afraid of." ”

"I" Ryoko Inoue muttered, looking at Mori Xia for help.

"Ryoko and I are waiting for you here." Mori Xia is the final word.

"Okay, Aihara, let's go." Watanabeike stepped over the vines.

"Uh" Aihara Kawa looked at Mori Natsu, then at Watanabe Ike, who was walking towards the body of the suicide, and finally swallowed his saliva and followed behind Watanabeike.

Two female classmates watched from behind, if he didn't go, wouldn't he be considered courageless and scared?

After a while, Mori Xia saw them standing in front of the hanged body and pointing, and Watanabeike bowed to the man, and immediately rushed towards them.

As soon as he arrived in front of Mori Xia, Watanabe Chi frowned and introduced: "It's strange, the suicide's whole body has been corroded, including the leg bones below There are also traces of corrosion, it stands to reason that he should have committed suicide for a while, but."

"But what?"

"But the style of his clothes is new to this summer, and I saw the new label in the mall a few days ago."

"Okay, okay," Ryoko Inoue rubbed her shoulder with her hand, interrupting Watanabeike's introduction, "Needless to say, we're not police, let's get out of this place quickly." Where are we camping tonight? Can't be here! I think it's nice next to Lake Shojin, what do you think, Mori Natsu? ”

"I can do anything." Sen Xia glanced at the suicide and added, "I hope there are no bodies of suicide people at the campsite, otherwise they will come to us in the middle of the night."

"Ahhh Say no more! Ryoko Inoue hurriedly covered Mori Xia's mouth.

Mori Xia smiled.

In order to experience spending the night in Aokigahara, the group chose to go to the forest in the afternoon. In a few moments, the sky will be dark, and when the dazzling sunlight of the outside world is a little darker in the west, the light in the dense forest is so dim that it needs a flashlight to illuminate it.

Watanabeike and Aihara set up two tents in a clearing, and Mori Natsu and Inoue Ryoko took out food to stew.

The low temperature brought by the humidity in the forest made Mori Xia and others put on coats, and after the fast food was boiled, they talked and laughed around the fire, as if they were really camping in nature.

The sunset outside is about to go out, and Aoki Hara has completely fallen into darkness, and Mori Natsu and Ryoko Inoue have a tent, turn on the night light they brought, and get into their sleeping bags.

They walked in the woods for an afternoon, and even with Mori Xia's physical fitness, they felt slightly strained, and in the warm sleeping bags, drowsiness gradually brewed.

"I swear I'll never come here again after this night." Ryoko Inoue said suddenly.

Mori Xia turned his head and teased: "I don't know who called me to chase the man, I really thought I needed to take materials from Aokihara at first." ”

"Ahem~" Ryoko Inoue's face was slightly red, and she defended: "What's the point of staying at home all the time during the summer vacation?" Today you say that the thorn is not exciting, right? ”

"It's a stimulus," Mori Xia's voice became cold: "We also encountered suicide"

"Good, good! Don't say it in that tone! Ryoko Inoue quickly changed the subject, "I think that Aihara is quite interesting to you." ”

Senxia rolled his eyes, "Let's sleep, we have to go a long way to pack our things tomorrow morning, I hope we can go to the side of the Jingjin Lake by the way." ”

"That's right," Ryoko Inoue smacked her mouth, "We Mori Xia can't look down on him, anyway, I remember that there is a deputy squad leader in your class, what's Tomigashi, isn't he also very handsome?" You Senxia? Senxia? ”

Listening to the sound of Mori Xia's gradually calming breathing, Ryoko Inoue had no choice but to fall asleep.

Midnight.

The moonlight could not penetrate the branches and leaves of the woods, and the forest was dim.

Half-asleep and dazed, Senxia faintly heard a voice.

"Child~Child~My Child~Come~Come~Come Back to My Arms~"

The voice was long and warm, like the call of grandparents.

Tired and tired, Senxia didn't want to get up, but she suddenly heard the sound of a rope rubbing again.

Mori Xia struggled to open her sleepy eyes and saw Ryoko Inoue scurrying out of her sleeping bag.

"Ryoko?" Sen Xia rubbed his eyes and turned on the night light, "Why are you going?" ”

Ryoko Inoue didn't respond at all, opened the tent, didn't even wear shoes, and walked straight into the woods.

Mori Xia woke up violently and shouted, "Ryoko! ”
