"Hey, hello, is it Brother Longchuan?"

"Eh, I'm Hashimoto Ryukawa, you're Xiaoya, what's the matter?"

"That's right, it's almost one o'clock in the morning, but my brother hasn't come home yet, and I haven't received a reply from him when I call and text, I'm a little worried, and I want to ask if the company suddenly sent him out on business?"

"Well, yes, a new project was distributed above, and the leader decided to put him in charge of one of the tasks, which is to negotiate and negotiate with Gibetsu Shrine. ”

"Kibetsu Shrine is not far from the city, and if you drive it, you can get back to the city in an hour, so you don't have to get home at 1 a.m., and the most important thing is that he never responds to messages, which worries me. ”

"Hmm...... Is it possible that the phone is out of battery? In this case, I will help you ask the colleague with whom he has a work handover, and if there is any news, I will call you again. ”

"Hmm. Fukuda Xiaoya bit her lip and hung up the phone.

Although she was anxious at the moment, she could only wait patiently.

After all, Brother Longchuan, as his brother's friend and colleague of the company, will definitely do his best to inquire about the news, and he will definitely have more news than himself.

Like an ant on a hot pot staying in place for a few minutes, Fukuda Xiaoya finally waited for Hashimoto Tatsukawa's message again, but the news on the other end of the phone was not so good.

The colleague in charge of handing over to Kosuke said that at around three o'clock this afternoon, Kosuke gave the progress of entering Gibetsu Shrine, and there was no movement after that. ”

Fukuda Xiaoya's heart was gradually enveloped by uneasiness: "Didn't the senior in charge of the handover ask again after that?"

"For this kind of negotiation and negotiation of business trips, most companies will give relatively free time allocation, as long as the progress does not fall behind, they will basically not ask about the details. Hashimoto Tatsukawa spoke out to comfort, "Don't worry too much, the reason why you don't reply to the message may be because the phone is out of battery?"

Fukuda Xiaoya pursed her lips.

Is it really because the phone is out of battery?

Probably not big.

Since the death of their parents, the siblings have grown up rapidly.

As each other's dependence, whether it is Kangsuke or Xiaoya, they will be very sensible and will not do things that worry each other.

Even if the mobile phone is really out of battery, Kosuke Fukuda will definitely ask someone else to borrow the mobile phone and report his safety to his family - this is a very common thing for ordinary people, and even more so for the Fukuda family.

Fukuda Xiaoya thought about calling the police directly, but she also knew that if she disappeared for a long time, she would not be able to officially file a case after all.

She finally told Hashimoto Tatsukawa what she was thinking: "I still want to find it myself." ”

Hashimoto Tatsukawa understands the family situation of the Fukuda family, and has a certain pity for the brother and sister who depend on each other, especially Fukuda Xiaoya, who has just entered high school.

He listened to the other party's reply, and couldn't help sighing: "Okay, since you're so worried, then I'll drive you to Gibetsu Shrine, anyway, it's not far, and it won't take much time to go back and forth." ”

A few minutes later, Fukuda Komasa walked out of the house, boarded Hashimoto Tatsukawa's car, and the two headed for Gibetsu Shrine together.

It was chilly in the early hours of the morning in the suburbs.

It was past midnight, and the street lamps on the road were all black, but the moon in the sky was unusually bright

The trees on both sides are illuminated by the headlights, casting shadows that pull and stretch, like monsters with claws stretched out.

Fukuda Xiaoya felt a little infiltrated.

Because I was in a hurry to find someone, the speed was very fast.

What was supposed to take about an hour to travel ended up taking only half an hour.

Hashimoto Tatsukawa parked the car under the steps of the shrine.

Fukuda Xiaoya opened the car door and turned her head to look at the building complex next to her: "This is Gibetsu Shrine?"

"It should be," Hashimoto Tatsukawa followed and got out of the car, looking at the shrine gate that had opened a crack, with a look of surprise, "Hey, why is this door open?"

He poked his head forward, trying to see through the crack in the door, but it was pitch black as far as he could see, and he couldn't help muttering, "Why is it a little eerie?" ”

"Brother Longchuan, you scared me. Fukuda Xiaoya showed a reluctant smile, her brother was suspected of losing contact, and she really didn't have the leisure to deal with other stimuli at this time.

Hashimoto Ryukawa sneered and pointed to the Gibetsu Shrine to change the subject: "Kosuke's customer is the operator of the shrine, according to the latest communication, he seems to be inside the shrine, let's go in and ask." ”

With that, the two walked into the door one after another.

As soon as Hashimoto Tatsukawa and Fukuda Koya entered the shrine, they immediately felt a strange feeling that was difficult to describe clearly.

There was an unrecognizable atmosphere in the air, and everything in front of me seemed to have a pair of eyes...... The dull depression and the discomfort of being watched, the two are mixed together, and it makes people frown.

They shouted "Is there anyone", but the sound eventually lost to the darkness.

Hashimoto Tatsukawa felt that something was wrong, but if he wanted to give a specific reason, it could only be attributed to his ethereal intuition.

"Xiaoya, or we ......"

As soon as his words came out, Fukuda Xiaoya suddenly said in surprise: "Look, is that my brother!"

Kosuke?

Hashimoto Ryukawa followed the prestige, and he really saw Kosuke Fukuda's figure, but it was just ......

"Don't go over!" he grabbed Fukuda Xiaoya, who wanted to run over, and at the same time quickly covered her mouth with his other hand, and finally whispered in his ear in a low voice, "Look closely!

Fukuda Xiaoya was a little confused at first, but according to what the other party said, she carefully observed the figure not far away, and her eyes suddenly widened, revealing a frightened look.

The figure was indeed exactly the same as Kosuke Fukuda, but the difference was that all the parts of his body that were not covered by clothing had climbed up to a piece of black stuff.

Under the illumination of the unusually bright moonlight, it was not difficult for Fukuda Xiaoya to tell that this piece of black thing was actually a corpse spot that only appeared on the body of a dead person.

How so?

What a joke is this!

The impact of this scene was so great that Fukuda Xiaoya completely lost her ability to speak, and almost fell into a stupor, even though the figure had begun to turn its head towards their position, and did not come back to its senses.

Fortunately, Hashimoto Tatsukawa still maintained a trace of calm.

He forcibly didn't look at the black and white face, pulled Fukuda Xiaoya and turned around and ran.

But what is desperate is that the road with a clear route has become intricate, and one after another familiar forks in the road suddenly appear in front of you, making it completely difficult to make a choice.

What's even more terrifying is that the original silvery moonlight in the sky has begun to turn a faint crimson, and there is a tendency to continue to deepen.

What the heck!

Not only did Hashimoto Ryukawa begin to feel panicked, but even Fukuda Xiaoya, who was in a sluggish state, was completely awakened, and the two felt the crimson moonlight shrouded in the surface of their bodies, and their brains slowly became sluggish, and their consciousness was faintly distorted.

At this moment, a female voice sounded behind the two of them.

"Sure enough, he is used to playing tricks, even if the sovereign authority is the Stygian Moon, and while arranging the breeding of nocturnal corpses, he also does not forget to arrange an illusion scene for covering. ”

"Yes, after all, it's a small technique. ”

As soon as the words fell, a wisp of silver light was scattered into this world.

In an instant, the crimson color disappeared like snow in spring.
