Chapter 1336 Where is the clue? (The unhappy meow without the game)
Duanmu Huai was ready to try and was eager to try, planning to fight with the other party to prove his strength.
but………
"Dang——"
Listening to the crisp ringing of the bell and looking at the black and white portraits in front of you, Duanmu Huai looked desperate.
The reason is very simple, there are no doubts.
According to the information Duanmuhuai learned, it was normal for Xiujiu Grandpa to die. An earthquake occurred here some time ago, and everyone came out to take refuge. Xiujiu Grandpa was inconvenient to his legs and feet. When he walked out, he accidentally fell and accidentally slapped his head on the stone next to him.
I was originally an old man, and I came here again. If I could live, there would be a problem.
And many people were watching from the side at that time, which proved that Grandpa Xiujiu did fall down by himself, so this... must be a result.
It’s impossible to say that the earthquake is suspicious! Isn’t it common for earthquakes, volcanic eruptions in this ghost place in Japan?
So they really just came back to attend the funeral and then cleaned up the aftermath for this relative, as they wrote in their diary?
But Duanmu Huai did not give up. After all, he has experienced many battles and has seen many things, and the same is true at the beginning of many games. I came back to attend the funeral for my relatives, and then accidentally found some hidden seals or secrets in his house... This kind of unfolding is not without it!
You will know after attending the funeral!
Of course, as Duanmu Huai''s identity, there is no need to search the house. After all, he is set as a relative of this grandfather, who comes back to deal with his funeral. So after the funeral, Duanmu Huai could use the excuse of dealing with the relics to carefully read Xiujiu''s grandfather''s house from the inside out!
However………
"I''ve seen a ghost, there''s nothing?"
Standing in the empty living room, Duanmuhuai was numb. Grandpa Xiujiu lives in an ordinary farmhouse, with a one-story building and a small courtyard, and some chickens are raised behind it. It''s not the kind of single-door mansion, nor is there any hidden basement. The warehouse was filled with farm tools. As for Duanmuhuai in the warehouse, he naturally flipped through it. He found no strange ancient books or any special relics. He even used his thousand-eyed power to search the entire house, but the result was that nothing was found.
There is really nothing.
This is unscientific and unreasonable.
Duanmu Huai scratched his head, looking puzzled. He thought he had left nothing behind. After all, everything here was passed by Duanmu Huai. To be safe, he even asked Sha Jiuye to help deal with it to see if she would be the plot trigger.
As a result, nothing happened.
"elder brother?"
At this moment, Shajiuye''s voice sounded, Duanmu Huai turned his head and saw a girl in a black sailor suit standing quietly in the corridor, staring at her with an unhappy expression as always.
"The last car carrying supplies just now has left."
"Oh, it''s already this time."
Hearing Sha Jiuye’s words, Duanmu Huai realized that it was already dusk and the sky outside was dyed blood red. The entire courtyard was empty at this moment, with nothing left. Shajiuye walked into the living room, looked at the room around which had nothing left, and sighed slightly.
"That''s how it''s over. To be honest, I never thought I would come back this way..."
"A man dies like a lamp that goes out. All we can do is to let the dead rest in peace and sleep forever."
Duanmu Huai said lightly, then turned around.
"Okay, let''s go too."
"Okay, brother..."
Shajiuye nodded, and at the same time he hugged his arms and looked around.
"What''s wrong?"
"I don''t know why, but I always feel uncomfortable, as if something is peeking at us in the dark..."
"Uh...it''s probably your illusion."
Duanmu Huai coughed and silently withdrew the thousand eyes that were opened in the shadow.
Now it seems that this place poses the greatest threat to Shajiuye.
The two of them had no place to live here. They should have been said to be able to live in Grandpa Xiujiu''s house, but Duanmuhuai obviously felt that living in the residence of a newly-dead person was too unlucky. Sha Jiuye seemed to be feeling uneasy because he sensed the thousand-eyed eyes that Duanmu Huai was unfolding at that time and was unwilling to stay there for a long time.
Fortunately, there is a hotel in this small town, so Duanmuhuai and Shajiuye chose to rest there. Perhaps because he was too tired from traveling, the funeral and subsequent cleaning, Shajiuye went back to his room to take a shower and rest after dinner.
Duanmuhuai also changed his clothes after taking a shower, but he did not go to rest, but went to the bar in the town.
After all, I didn’t find any clues at the old man’s house, so I can only go to the bar to look for them.
Duanmuhuai''s arrival caused a small commotion in the bar, but everyone did not pay special attention. According to the system''s description and records, Duanmuhuai and Shajiuye grew up here when they were young, and everyone knew them. Especially Duanmu Huai - it is really hard to forget (system language).
Duanmu Huai just regarded this as a compliment.
After asking for a glass of wine, Duanmuhuai sat aside and started listening to the people here chatting. As expected, as Duanmu Huai thought, these people were talking about the death of Grandpa Xiujiu, and then according to the usual human thinking, they naturally talked about the death of Grandpa Xiujiu to the earthquake.
"After that being said, the earthquake has become more and more violent during this period."
"Is that true?" "Yes, didn''t Tamura on the construction site die because of an earthquake? Alas, his son is only nine years old, so it''s really unlucky."
"Is Mr. Tamura also because of the earthquake?"
Hearing this, Duanmu Huai asked curiously, and someone nodded soon.
"That''s right, I remember that he was repairing the machine that day, and then suddenly there was an earthquake. Alas, he fell down before he could run... It was so miserable..."
"Speaking of this period, the earthquakes seem to be very dense, and the animals in the mountains and forests have become much more violent."
Another man spoke.
"I went up the mountain to hunt before, and even saw bear-like claw marks on the outside..."
"Have you reported it?"
"Of course I reported it, but to be honest, there is no good idea. I just want everyone to pay attention and don''t go up the mountain in the near future..."
"Speaking of this earthquake, there is no news to be reported."
"Did those people from the Earthquake Bureau all have a good meal? When they need them, they don''t care about anything!"
People who drink too much naturally start to complain, and Duanmuhuai is not incomprehensible. After all, you can''t find any source to solve the problem with earthquakes. Apart from drinking some alcohol to vent your dissatisfaction, there is nothing to do.
Duanmu Huai only got three points of information from these people.
First, earthquakes have been frequent recently. According to their statement, the elderly who live here all year round have said that they have never seen such frequent earthquakes before.
Second, it seems that because of the earthquake, the wild beasts in the mountains have also begun to become violent. Several people have reported being attacked by wild beasts, and some even witnessed monsters. Of course, everyone agreed that it might be that they regard the bear as a monster.
Third, well... this can only be considered an accompanying intelligence. Because the people from the Earthquake Bureau are not in charge, a teacher named Yamahara in this town, who is in charge of teaching geography, went to the mountains to detect and investigate the earthquake source. This testimony came from a worker in the convenience store. According to what he said, the teacher went to the convenience store to buy a box of mineral water and a sleeping bag before leaving. Obviously, he planned to stay in the mountains for a long time.
Of course, Duanmu Huai''s attention was the second information, the wild beasts in the mountains. Although many people think that it just treats the bear as a monster, Duanmu Huai still plans to go and take a look. After all, now it seems that there is no useful clue from this old man, so we can only see if there is any problem with the place itself...
So the next morning, after breakfast, Duanmuhuai and Shajiuye left the hotel and moved towards the mountain.
The reason why I brought Shajiuye with me is very simple. During breakfast, Duanmuhuai said that he was going to take a walk on the nearby mountains, so Shajiuye said that he would go together too...
What else can I do? I had to take it with me.
But...
“Haaaaaaaaaa…”
As a standard frail girl, Shajiuye is obviously not a good thing to climb a mountain. She just started to get tired and breathe heavily when she walked halfway up the mountain.
"So I said, wouldn''t it be better if you just take the cable car."
Looking at Sha Jiuye who was following behind him and his legs were trembling, Duanmu Huai rolled his eyes helplessly, while the latter was breathing, while staring at Duanmu Huai dissatisfiedly.
"Then why don''t you sit down, brother?"
"You think if I sit on it, will that thing collapse?"
Duanmuhuai spread his hands and stared at Sha Jiuye. The latter was silent for a moment and sighed again.
"We''ve all walked here, I need a break...Woo..."
At this moment, Shajiuye suddenly frowned and covered his nose.
"What''s the smell? It smells so smelly..."
"smell?"
Duanmu Huai was stunned for a moment, and then he sniffed it carefully. Sure enough, a stinky smell came towards him, and this smell was not unfamiliar to Duanmu Huai. This is...
The stench of the rotten corpse!
“Swishy, ??swishy..."
At the same time, the bushes not far away began to sway, as if something was approaching this side.
"Shajiuye, hide behind me."
Duanmu Huai said as he walked to Shajiuye and clenched his fists. Shajiuye seemed to instinctively feel some danger and retreated uneasy.
Duanmuhuai stared at the bushes, and saw a rustling sound getting closer and closer. Then - as the bushes suddenly parted, a tall black shadow roared out of it and pounced towards Duanmuhuai!
