Xu Cheng couldn't bear the thought that the bike was stolen, but there were people coming and going nearby, and it was not as secluded as the river embankment. It would not be easy to find the stolen bike in a short time.

He took one look at the mission, and finally chose to go home with a grievance and finish the mission first.

After returning home, Xu Cheng closed all the doors and windows, went back to the bedroom, turned on the computer, and as usual came out with a leave request note.

"The bicycle I just bought was stolen. I'm really not in the mood to type. And I have to go back to my hometown to visit relatives today, so I haven't updated it."

It is a fact that the bicycle was stolen, the killer card is the killer, the deceased is the killer's lair, and the mission to give back to the deceased is to go back to his hometown to visit relatives, there is nothing wrong with it at all.

As soon as the leave application slips were sent out, there were a few more, this chapter said, and he clicked on them to take a look.

"Pooh!!"

"Your bicycle was stolen? I think your conscience was stolen. Why are you so busy all day long?"

"Go back to your hometown? Why not just go back to your mother's womb?"

"Repent!"

Seeing these messages, Xu Cheng's face darkened.

Something is really wrong with me, why doesn’t anyone believe me? Is there no room in this world for people who tell the truth?

The car was stolen, and no one believed the truth. With a depressed mood, Xu Cheng lay on the bed to accept the task, and disappeared into a white light.

…

Eastern part of Kochi Prefecture, Muroto City.

An ordinary old train moved slowly on the track, like a stumbling old man.

Xu Cheng, who loaded the killer card, came out of the train bathroom.

He did not expect that this mission would leave Tokyo and go to the southern part of Shikoku Island. The manager sent him here, which meant that the Japanese branch of the Death Giver was hiding in this dying city.

Muroto City is a tourist city. The entire city has been rated as a World Geopark and is the fifth World Geopark in Japan.

However, due to the combined effects of geographical factors, failed industrial transformation and declining birthrate and aging population, Muroto City has declined. The entire city's population is now only 14,000. Young people have gone to big cities to develop, while the older generation stayed in the countryside to wait to die.

.

The entire city slowly became silent and deserted, just like the coal city Yubari in Hokkaido, which was gradually dying.

The speed of the train is very slow, just like the pace of life in this declining city.

Most of the seats in the car were empty, and at a glance, only a few scattered customers could be seen.

They were either gray-haired old men or women, or backpackers hiking, and there were not even many tourists.

Xu Cheng returned to his seat and sat down. Opposite him was an old man with white beard and hair and wrinkles on his face. He was reading a newspaper, but his eyes would occasionally rise to look at Xu Cheng.

After all, he now uses the appearance of a killer card, wearing a thick and straight black windbreaker, shirt and tie, white gloves, high-top leather boots, a cold temperament and indifferent eyes.

Such people only appear in action movies, not in this declining city.

The old man obviously wanted to say something, but he hesitated.

Xu Cheng was annoyed by him and couldn't help but said: "Uncle, are you okay?"

The old man took off his reading glasses from the bridge of his nose, smiled, and said apologetically: "Sorry, you don't look like a tourist."

Xu Cheng nodded: "Yes, I am visiting relatives in Murohu."

Why do you dress like you are seeking revenge when visiting relatives?

Seeing that Xu Cheng was not the type to reject others, the old man continued: "You are from Tokyo, right?"

Xu Cheng was a little surprised: "How did you tell?"

The old man chuckled: "I have a grandson who is about the same age as you. He went to Tokyo and never came back. Only in Tokyo can there be energetic young people like you."

Xu Cheng had nothing to do, so he chatted with the old man: "Then what is your grandson doing?"

The old man's expression suddenly became lonely, and it took him a while before he spoke: "I don't know, we haven't contacted each other for almost ten years."

This is also a characteristic of Japan, known as the disconnected society - after young people move from the countryside to the big city, they seem to have severed ties with their relatives in the countryside. Most of them have no contact with them anymore, even their biological parents.

It was obvious that the old man was very sad, so Xu Cheng changed the topic.

It seemed that he hadn't chatted with anyone for a long time. The old man was very excited and couldn't stop talking about it.

Xu Cheng had nothing to do, so he chatted with him about rides and rides. They chatted all the way until the train arrived and Xu Cheng was about to get off, but the old man still seemed reluctant to leave.

"I'll give you a gift."

The old man carefully took out something wrapped in a black plastic bag from his arms and quietly stuffed it into Xu Cheng's hand, looking left and right for fear of being discovered.

He said seriously: "This is my treasure. I don't want to take it to the grave, so I'll give it to you."

Xu Cheng was also surprised and quickly carefully put the stuff into his windbreaker.

Woc, is this a side mission?

The treasure given by the mysterious old man must be a martial arts secret book.

After getting off the train, I looked back and saw that the old man was still standing by the train window, reluctantly waving to Xu Cheng: "Goodbye!"

Given the old man's age, it shouldn't be goodbye, but farewell.

This ordinary encounter left a deep impression on Xu Cheng's heart.

He was standing outside a small train station, facing the salty sea breeze. Not far away was the pier, and he could see the endless sea.

Xu Cheng was not in the mood to enjoy the scenery, so he found a deserted place nearby and carefully opened the black plastic bag given to him by the old man.

Inside was an old pornographic magazine, with the corners torn and torn. When I opened it, I found that it was stained with suspicious yellow stains.

Xu Cheng: "..."

It is indeed the old man's treasure, and it can be called the old man's joy.

But Xu Cheng's enthusiasm and expectations were like being poured down by a basin of cold water, which chilled him to the core.

I fucked your uncle, give me back my feelings and expectations.

He subconsciously wanted to throw away the old man's music, but remembering the old man's reluctance before parting, he finally put it away.

Maybe to Xu Cheng, it was unrecyclable garbage, but to the old man, it was indeed a treasure worth collecting.

At this moment, the manager's prompt tone also sounded.

[Task begins]

[You only have five chances to come back, please cherish it]

[Your identity is the unstarred killer of the Giver of the Dead, and you are invited to participate in the annual meeting held by the Giver of the Dead once a year. Please pass the test of the Heart Stone and obtain the breathing method. If the existence of the task manager is exposed, the mission will be deemed to have failed]

[Please go to the Abandoned Village of Hot Spring Mountain and contact the peripheral personnel of the Death Giver]

[Joint code: What contribution did the country make in World War II? 】

It’s time to start breast-feeding again, right?

I like.

There was a town outside the train station. Xu Cheng entered the town along the intersection and was going to ask about the location of the abandoned village in Wenquan Mountain.

The roads in the town are empty, and not a single person has been seen for a long time. Although many buildings are intact, they have obviously been uninhabited for a long time, giving off a desolate atmosphere.

After walking for a long time, Xu Cheng finally found a small supermarket. The cashier was an old man in his fifties and ignored Xu Cheng.

The old man's attitude improved after he saw Xu Cheng buying a map and some bread and drinks.

"You want to go to the hot spring village too?"

The old man grunted, then took out a simple map that he had already drawn and took Xu Cheng five hundred yen.

Xu Cheng asked curiously: "Are many people going to that hot spring village recently?"

"That's right."

The old man waved his hand impatiently: "There's really nothing to see there."

Xu Cheng turned around and left the supermarket, picked up the map and looked at it.

Hot Spring Mountain is a nearby high mountain with natural hot springs. It has been developed as a hot spring village tourist attraction by the local government.

But later, the lack of tourists led to bankruptcy, and the hot spring village was abandoned. No one has been there for a long time, except for some famous backpackers.

There have been a lot of backpackers recently, probably some killers who came to attend the annual meeting of the Dead.

Xu Cheng walked around the entire town before finding a place that sold bicycles. The money he brought from his body was enough to buy a bicycle and a big lock.
Chapter completed!
