Chapter 1456 The active direction is seriously wrong
"What Ayumi said is not entirely wrong," Chi Feichi explained, "There was a period of time, after wars and disasters, when many people in Japan were too poor to eat, and adults would take their children to the mountains.
They were killed in order to reduce the number of people eating. There was a saying in Japan that seven-year-old children were the sons of gods. Killing seven-year-old children who belonged to the world of gods could achieve the purpose of sacrifice. Some children were taken to the forest.
When the child's memorial day comes, the mother who goes to pay homage to the dead child will always feel scared when walking on the road, so she will sing this nursery rhyme, on the one hand to embolden herself and on the other hand to appease the ghost of the child."
He is really not the kind of person who only reminds Conan and Haibara Ai of bad memories.
He will make everyone unable to recall the good memories together, or leave behind not so good memories together.
Haibara Ai:"……"
At the beginning, Police Officer Yamamura and Brother Fei Chi did mention that "the forest princess sacrificed children in the forest" and so on.
Although I knew that this was not what she was doing, she just... felt like she was not feeling well.
Did Officer Yamamura think she was just a child who was taken into the forest and murdered?
This idea is simply bizarre.
She had previously thought that the forest princess was some kind of special mountain spirit. Although Japan prefers to worship mountain spirits as gods, she did not expect that the forest princess was part of a circle of ghosts who were tragically killed.
And when she thought about Police Officer Yamamura bringing her incense every time, she felt even more wrong.
Forget about the superstition of police officer Yamamura. As a police officer, when encountering a situation like "a little girl was taken into the forest to be murdered", instead of trying to catch the murderer, he actually wanted to use her, thinking that she could solve the case if she was there?
It is another day when people in Qunma County are suspected to be living in dire straits.
The smile on Ayumi's face froze in recognition, "So, so the god this nursery rhyme talks about..."
"It refers to the soul of the child. The path of the gods refers to the road that the child walked before death and the road where the soul wanders." Chi Feichi paused, "The legend of the Forest Princess is similar to that legend, except that she was brought into
The one in the forest is the little girl.”
"Then, kill, kill?"
Yuantai turned to look at Haiyuan Ai, with a horrified look on his face.
"It's so scary..." Ayumi felt a chill on her back.
They are now in the forest of Gunma Prefecture.
Mitsuhiko also looked at Haihara Ai with a strange look, "Hui, Haihara is definitely not like that."
Hui Yuan Ai felt uncomfortable being stared at by the three children, and said indifferently, "If that's what you say, it was Brother Chi who brought me into the forest to sacrifice me."
Chi Feichi nodded, "It is also consistent with the legend that relatives brought him to sacrifice."
Conan: "..."
Haha, these brothers and sisters really get along.
Haiyuan Ai saw the three children hugging each other with pale faces, and said speechlessly, "But it's a pity that Fei Chi just took me for a walk in the forest that night."
"Really? I heard that some people are unable to realize that they are dead after death, and will forget the memories before and after their death." Conan became playful, turned his head and stared at Haibara Ai, his expression seemed gloomy, and he spoke in a low voice.
The voice said, "Are you sure it was you who followed Brother Chi out of the forest that day, and not your dead soul?"
"ah--!"
The three children hugged each other and screamed with their eyes closed.
Haihara Ai was dumbfounded by what Conan said. She glanced at Conan and replied in the same low tone, "Really? After we walked out of the forest that day, we met you hiding in the car. Are you sure you were not raped by me that night?
Do you want to take the path of the gods with you?"
"Ke, Conan..." Ayumi was almost frightened to tears. She looked at Conan weakly, with an uneasiness in her eyes that said, "There are ghosts all around, and you are all ghosts."
"No... we were just joking," Conan quickly scratched his head and laughed, "Those are just legends. We all have vital signs. How could we be dead? And there is no way Brother Chi would do such a thing."
"That's right," Ayumi breathed a sigh of relief, her face still a little pale, "but the legend behind this nursery rhyme is really scary."
"Yes," Mitsuhiko Khan said, "it's really cruel to have relatives kill children in the forest."
Genta saw the darkening forest outside and shrank his head in the car, "This is the forest in Gunma County. Are there many ghosts of children wandering here?"
"Maybe I'll even play games with you," Chi Feichi suddenly thought of another nursery rhyme, "It's like squatting in a circle back to back. When the person pretending to be a ghost completes the circle, you might find one more person or someone else.
One person is missing..."
"ah--!"
The three children hugged each other and screamed again.
Dr. A Li: "..."
Really, it’s rare that I’m so active today, but I’m more active in scaring the children...the direction of my activity is seriously wrong!
Conan took on the important task of comforting the three children and finally dispelled their fears. He turned to look out the car window and said, "By the way, Doctor, why haven't we arrived yet? The sun is almost setting."
"The roads in this area are really difficult to identify. There are many side roads or dead ends that are not on the map." Dr. A Li said helplessly.
Conan's half-moon eyes said, "I wish I had known you didn't want to take any shortcuts. The shortcuts seem to be much further away."
"The road ahead is too congested," Dr. Ali retorted. "Traffic jams and intense heat are the enemies of an air-cooled engine. Besides, I thought, if that doesn't work, I can use mobile phone navigation to guide me."
"I didn't expect that we couldn't receive signals in the mountains and forests in this area, right?" Conan said speechlessly.
In the back seat, Mitsuhiko came to his senses and asked, "Why didn't the doctor install a car satellite navigation?"
"Yeah," Ayumi agreed, huddled in the back seat, "If we have a satellite navigation, it can tell us how to go with just one beep."
Yuantai sighed, "I've been scared several times, and I'm getting hungrier and hungrier."
"I am still researching and developing satellite navigation," Dr. Ali said, cheering up and smiling, "It will be great when it is completed. It is a good thing with many amazing functions!"
"If it can be completed." Haiyuan Ai poured cold water on her.
"Machi Group is also working on car satellite navigation with Umbrella," Chi Feichi said. "The program has been built, and the hardware part is still being adjusted. In addition, overall debugging is needed, and it will probably be released later."
Hearing this, Hui Yuan Ai couldn't help but smile, "Doctor, it seems that your progress can't keep up. I heard that other groups researching this type of navigation have announced progress that is much faster than that of Doctor. Doctor is still waiting to pretend.
Ready-made."
Dr. Ali said unwillingly, "I can still research it some more. Maybe I can develop functions that others haven't thought of."
In this regard, Chi Feichi has confidence in Dr. Ali.
Dr. Ali is just one person, and sometimes the development progress is not as good as that of a large team supported by a group or consortium, but in terms of fantastic ideas and various strange functions, Dr. Ali's imagination is bigger.
"Let's talk about that later. Compared to this..." Haiyuan Ai looked out the car window, "It's completely dark."
"Doctor, you said before that you should go northwest, but where is the specific location of the campsite?" Chi Feichi asked.
"I remember the map is... go up the mountain and turn onto the trail. Then as long as you remember to walk northwest, you can reach a village called 'Kawaba' in the north," Dr. A Li recalled. "It takes about half an hour after passing the village.
You can get to the camping ground.”
"You've gone too far." Chi Feichi said expressionlessly.
"Why?!"
In the back seat, the three children stood up, knelt on the seats and looked out the rear window.
"But, but, we didn't pass through any villages."
"I didn't even see the shadow of the village!"
"Did you go in the wrong direction?"
"The direction is correct, it's to the northwest. Maybe the doctor took the wrong path at a certain intersection and chose the same path to the northwest, but took another road that could bypass the village," Chi Feichi assessed the current situation.
The approximate location of the car is, "After driving for more than an hour, we should reach the Tanigawadake area."
Conan: "..."
In other words, the doctor took the wrong path, took them around the destination perfectly, and continued running northwest for a long distance?
Haiyuan Ai felt helpless and suggested, "Let's let Brother Fei Chi drive. Brother Fei Chi has a stronger sense of direction. If we turn back now, we might be able to reach the campsite tonight."
"Ah, okay..." Dr. Ali stopped showing off and slowed down the car.
"Bang!"
The left front wheel made an abnormal noise and the car began to swerve.
Fortunately, the speed of the car had already slowed down a lot, so Dr. Ali quickly stopped the car and got out of the car to see the situation.
"This sound..." Mitsuhiko hesitated for a moment, "could it be a flat tire?"
Chi Feichi also opened the car door and got out of the car with Conan to see the situation, "Doctor, where is the spare tire?"
Dr. A Li smiled awkwardly and scratched his head, "Because the tires were repaired and replaced with new ones, I didn't expect a puncture. There were too many camping supplies, so I didn't bring them."
"No cars will pass by this kind of small road at all. If we can reach Tanigawadake area in more than an hour, then it will probably take more than half an hour to turn back and find the camping ground." Conan looked at the dark road in front and behind
, "It seems we can only deal with it here for one night tonight. Fortunately, we came to camp in the first place and we brought all the tools with us."
"But this forest looks eerie." Ayumi shrank back uneasily.
"Yeah," Mitsuhiko sat in the car and looked at the dark woods outside, "I always feel like there will be monsters appearing."
"For example, there is often something in the legend..." Yuantai said with a look of horror, "The man-eating mountain demon Granny!"
Mitsuhiko's face turned pale, "There are also the souls of the children who were sacrificed and roamed here..."
"It really looks like it," Haiyuan Ai looked out the car window. When the three children were frightened, he looked at the wooden house that poked out of the jungle not far away. "That house over there, it looks like
Doesn’t it look like the residence of the mountain witch Granny?”
"Eh? Is there a family nearby?" Dr. Ali turned around and saw the bright lights in the house and breathed a sigh of relief, "Great, then we can go over and ask that family to let us stay for one night."
Chi Feichi also looked at the house.
The mountain demon mother-in-law, the house in the barren mountains, borrowing it late at night...
Is it the plot of 'The Mountain Demon Granny's Blade'?
These recent events have left a deep impression on him.
I originally tried to recall the dream, but I didn't recall much of the dream. I did recall a lot of the original plot, but it may be that the recent events are more interesting.
"Go, let's borrow it? I think it's better not to take it." Ayumi said with a trembling voice.
Yuan Tai nodded in agreement, "What if you encounter something scary?"
