It is precisely because of the control of electricity that mankind has entered the modern electrical age from the cumbersome steam age.
Humans use electricity to light up light bulbs and use colorful neon lights to disperse the night, making thousands of lights become a beautiful landscape representing modern civilization.
In this boundless night, even a solitary lamp will make people feel at ease.
The most obvious manifestations were that Nakajima's hands stopped shaking, Koda Toshiyuki's face turned pale, and even Kihi Gosuke secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
The road just now was so weird, and the atmosphere was so terrifying. Everyone was so tense that they felt like they were going to break. If it were a normal person, they would have been driven crazy and stupid.
Fortunately, when I was about to collapse, I met this old man and came to this hut next to the railway.
The white paint on the wooden walls is already mottled, with many peeling off and falling off. The parts close to the ground have become rotten due to moisture. The bench at the door is covered with moss, and the original color can hardly be seen.
, even the wooden board was broken into several pieces. Not to mention sitting on it like this, it would fall apart even if it was touched lightly.
There are fewer and fewer people going out, but more and more people come back. When people take the bus, there are cars stopping. First they stop, then the line is canceled when they come, so there are fewer people leaving, and the number of people coming back is even greater.
It’s even worse.”
It was so completely white that I even wanted to step out of the door, let alone go deep into the darkness to check the wiring.
"There is a way. The little family has all left the village. There are only some old people like you left. The little family lives in the village. Basically, they go inside and see if there is anyone in the car. There will be a car coming soon."
Yamada Tsutomu and Koda Toshiyuki almost jumped up, causing the roof to collapse. Their expressions, which only turned a little worse due to difficulties, turned pale again at this moment, while Kibi Gosuke frowned slightly.
However, Nakajima chuckled and said bluntly: "Does he want to ask them about the sneak attack on the wall they just encountered?"
"Yes, let's use it." The old man sat down with difficulty, and Yamada ran over happily, picked up the phone and finished dialing, and said: "Just because I know it can still be used."
Yamada said eagerly: "Old man, can I borrow your phone?"
"It used to be that there were only a few thousand people in this small village, but now it probably doesn't have more than seven hundred or eight hundred people, and most of them are old people." The village chief Zhongdao sighed and said, "If this reservoir is built,
If so, there will definitely be some people left, but it's a pity that the young people who were able to complete the cultivation in the first place left the village and went to small cities.
"Abandoned line? Why?" Liao Liangmian looked at the phone desperately, trying to convince himself that there was something wrong with the phone and the line was still broken, because I could only repair the phone and there was no way to check the line. If there was something wrong with the phone,
I can still try to fix it, if there is a problem with the wiring...
The elderly people are all walking in, and they want to come back when they go out. There are more and more people outside the village, and it is getting quieter and quieter. It will eventually become dead silent one day, no matter how little sound you hear, no matter what you see.
Come alone.
For villages like that located deep in the mountains, trains are the most convenient and extremely expensive way to travel. Once trains are available, exiting will become very difficult and long.
Squeak...
"You mean this ghost?" Kibi Gosuke pondered for a moment, and then he thought of a monster that fit the description of Mayor Nakajima.
"...How could that happen?" Yamada was about to cry, but it was difficult to find a phone, so why did he still make the call?
The house is also in a state of disrepair, and it creaks when the wind blows. It feels like if the wind is stronger, it can blow down this old house made of iron and wooden boards.
Yamada Tsutomu's mouth opened and closed as he listened, wanting to say, "Old man, he doesn't understand."
Fortunately, although the house is old, it has all the appliances.
"You were originally working as a patrolman in this area, but you returned there before going to bed. All the young people left, and only you old men were left. There really weren't many people around, so I chose you to be the village chief. Alas!"
"..."
That is a very light topic, and it is also a difficult problem with a solution.
The sound coming out of the earpiece tells of its power.
"sly?!"
The village chief of Nakajima saw our reaction in his eyes, and still said with a smile: "You will also think that there are weird things in the world in the future. Until this day, you saw with your own eyes huge weird monsters coming out of the mountains, waving
Great sword."
"Are there... many people in that village?"
"Dudududu..."
"Maybe there are too many passengers."
"Mr. Nakajima, he is bad," Hibi Gosuke sat up cross-legged and said, "Can you talk about that village?"
"Because it was connected to the line from the next station, but eight years later, that line was abandoned and someone maintained it. The Kuai Kuai signal was broken and intermittent."
"Hoshino Village, it is said that it was a long time before a star fell outside the fields, and then the name disappeared. You are the mayor of that village, Nakajima."
Although it is an old-fashioned landline phone and can be put into a museum for people to view, it is still no worse than nothing.
"Have you ever been to Sushan Mountain?"
"Everyone says this is just a monster, but you know, it is a ghost that came to us, a ghost that was sealed long ago, but it was resurrected by the darkness of human beings and became much weaker. Besides,
The resting souls have turned into resentful ghosts, and the originally fierce village is now haunted by resentful spirits."
That must be the legendary low man in the mountains.
The old man sighed, and there was helplessness in the eyes of the other person.
When the old man opened the door, the door bolt made an impatient long sound, and when he closed it, the entire door frame swayed, which made people very worried. The door should not fall down by itself in the middle of the night.
There is a way to use wired communication, and you need to know whether the signal is blocked or interfered with, but wireless communication can always be cut off.
Train operating companies pursue profits. As revenue increases, they will naturally find ways to increase costs. At some point, ceasefire and scrapping the line become the first choice.
Koda Toshiyuki guessed that this was nothing new, it was even enough to make headlines. Every year, old lines are abandoned due to traffic hazards or other reasons, some are replaced by buses, and none...
.There is no more above.
Electric lights, televisions, rice cookers, and the most surprising thing is a telephone.
Kibi Gosuke originally wanted to honestly say 'there are people', but when he realized that the people behind him were not from outside the village, he changed it to 'many'.
Kibi Gosuke, who had been observing the entire room since exiting the door, inserted the Brest gun into the holster and asked, "What is the name of that village?"
Naturally, some people are willing to stay, and naturally some are willing to come back.
