Chapter 196 It only takes one Takaji Sosuke to destroy the atmosphere
A red sun sank on the surface of Lake Sorrow. I don’t know if it was the sunset that dyed the lake red, or it was just as Hattori Heiji thought, someone cast magical magic on the bottom of the lake, so that the lake gradually turned red.
"The lake...why did the lake become this color? What's going on?!" Hattori Heiji exclaimed after rubbing his eyes vigorously to make sure he saw it correctly.
There was a hint of unknown emotion on Tono Eiji's face. He looked at the red lake and said slowly:
"A long time ago, there was a very loving couple in a village near here, but unfortunately...for some reasons, no matter how much they loved each other, they couldn't get together. After being tortured, the two agreed to rekindle their relationship in the next life, and then they surrendered.
The lake has killed itself.
From then on, when it was time for them to throw themselves into the lake, the lake would be dyed red with their affection. This is the legend about the Lake of Sad Love. Just like the name, this is a love that ends in sacrifice."
"It's really a sad story. We were so in love but couldn't last long. Oh, it's so pitiful." Sayuri Kakizaki sighed. As someone who only reads shojo comics, she really can't accept a story that ends in love.
Most people showed sad expressions, only Hattori Heiji and Fujiwara Yuu were different from them. The former, as an atheist, naturally did not believe in this legend without scientific basis, and the latter was not interested because he knew why the lake turned red.
Fujiwara Yu put one hand in his pocket and held the empty cigarette case, and said with an indifferent expression:
"As long as you know about water splashes and red tides, you won't say that the redness of the lake is related to affection. It is just a natural phenomenon and has nothing to do with this boring story."
"?"
What kind of special ability is it to successfully break the atmosphere of tragic love with one sentence? Hattori Heiji secretly gave Sosuke Takashi a thumbs up. It was indeed his brother Takashi, the slap in the face was a great success.
Eiji Tono didn't feel embarrassed at all. He put his hands behind his back with a smile and said in a brisk tone:
"Mr. Takaji is really well-informed, but I am quite interested in this knowledge. Why don't you come and tell me what red tide is?"
"Can."
Hattori Heiji didn't expect that Takaji Sosuke would be "seduce" by the hypocritical Tono Eiji. He pressed the baseball cap on his head in confusion and looked at Kazuha Michou beside him:
"Shall we go for a walk nearby? Don't you want to see the scenery?"
"Huh? Okay!"
Kakizaki Sayuri was a little helpless when she saw this, but thinking about her mission here, she quickly took out the Canon film camera from her photography bag and started taking pictures of the red lake water - she didn't care about the legend of Lake Tragedy and natural phenomena, like this
Rare situations can be recorded with photos.
She waved to Saito Masami who was absent-mindedly beside her and said with a smile:
"Yami, why don't you stand by the lake and I can take a photo for you?"
However, her proposal was not responded to for a long time. When she turned around, she noticed that her best friend was staring blankly in the direction where Mr. Takashi was leaving, like a beautiful looking stone.
Sayuri Kakizaki, who has a carefree personality and a straight-laced mind, really didn't understand why she didn't pursue this matter if she liked it. She put away her film camera, took Masami's arm, and said sincerely:
"Since you care so much, why don't you take the initiative? Don't wait until he no longer belongs to you and then regret it."
Miyano Akemi couldn't help being stunned when she heard this. She didn't feel shy when her little thoughts were exposed. Instead, she lowered her head and felt a little overwhelmed. She was not a timid person, otherwise she wouldn't have said "I will do it in the future"
Can I still come to you?"
There are many things she has to worry about. She is in the organization... If she really pursues what she wants at all costs, it will not only delay Fujiwara-kun's mission, but may even become a burden.
This is not what Miyano Akemi wants to see, at least now is not the time for romance, she is more sober than anyone else.
"Thank you for your concern, but I think it's good to maintain the status quo. Who knows if he has changed after not seeing him for a few years."
"Please, he just refused to help me carry my luggage, but when he saw you were in trouble, he took action without saying a word!" Kakizaki Sayuri pinched his throat to make his voice as masculine as possible, and
Deliberately imitating Sosuke Takaji's cold-sounding tone: "No, the road is not smooth."
"Okay, you just want to tease me, right?"
"I can't bear to tease my eldest baby. Let's not talk about him. Let's go over there and take a few photos and then go back. Didn't Mr. Kujo say that the dinner will start at 18 o'clock? Hurry up!"
"OK, all right."
——
There were still a few minutes until 18:00 sharp, and the last person to arrive at the central cabin of the campground was Yosuke Itsuki, a self-proclaimed freelance writer. He said that he got lost while wandering around to collect information, so he came back late.
When Kujo Shotaro, who was preparing ice buckets for everyone, heard this, he frowned and put down the ice bucket, and said in a serious tone:
"Mr. Itsuki, it's better not to go into the forest when it gets late. After all, it's not open yet and there are no security personnel. It will be difficult for all of us to find you if you get lost."
"Hahahaha, sorry, sorry, can I punish myself with a drink?"
Itsuki Yosuke directly picked up the wine in the pain, and knocked the top of the bottle on the table roughly. After the bottle mouth was broken, the purple liquid splashed out directly. If Kasai Sayuri hadn't dodged quickly enough, she would have been in this state.
The little white dress was scrapped.
Yosuke Itsuki, who had no eyesight or emotional intelligence to speak of, directly picked up the empty wine glass on the table, filled it with wine as if he was afraid he could only drink one glass, and then drank it all in one go, burping from the wine.
"Hiccup! Hahahahaha, this wine tastes really good. Mr. Kujo, your travel agency has really spent a lot of money on it."
Xiangshan Seiko, who was crowded on the same sofa as her husband, showed a disgusted expression. She was most annoyed by people who drank wine as an ordinary drink, and the way they drank was so rude and not elegant at all.
This chapter is not finished yet. Please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Kujo Shotaro helplessly poured wine for everyone. As for the bottle of wine that was mixed with glass dregs, no one dared to touch it. That was fine.
Yosuke Itsuki meant that he could enjoy the wine to himself.
Fujiwara Yu didn't like to dine with strangers, so he chose to sit in the corner and listen to their chat silently, and did not choose to taste most of the food on the table. The main reason was: he was worried about Yosuke Itsuki.
I drooled all over the food, so I only ate the vegetable pizza and croquettes that were placed in front of me.
Perhaps he was worried that he would spoil everyone's interest, so he stood up and planned to go outside to enjoy the night breeze and see if White had sent the relevant information. Unexpectedly, as soon as he stood up, a male announcer's voice suddenly came from the radio next to him.
"Temporary news is being broadcast now. In the early hours of this morning, a death row prisoner escaped from Shinano Prison in Nagano Prefecture. The death row prisoner's name is Tomaru Meito, 35 years old. He killed more than ten villagers in the village of Omiya City, Saitama Prefecture 10 years ago...
…”
The faces of everyone present changed after hearing the news. Eiji Tono quickly walked to the radio and turned it off, fearing that such news would make everyone feel nervous and fearful.
Toyama Kazuha thought that her location was within the scope of Shinano Town. She leaned closer to Hattori Heiji worriedly, feeling that this was the only way to feel safe. Hattori also frowned, he always felt that something was wrong.
What a coincidence, why did the death row inmates escape from prison near them?
Fujiwara Yu silently observed the changes in everyone's expressions. He opened the door and said bluntly:
"It's getting late, so I'll go back and rest first."
"Ah, it's indeed getting late, so let's call it a night."
"Hey? I haven't drunk enough yet! If any of you want to continue drinking, come to my room. If it's a pretty girl, I'd welcome it hahahahaha!
"
Fujiwara Yu who walked out of the hall was not in a hurry to return to the wooden house where he lived. Instead, he deliberately stayed for a while to make sure that Miyano Akemi and Kakizaki Sayuri passed through the bridge and walked into the wooden house opposite the hall. Then he turned around and walked towards the wooden house where he was.
.
It was impossible to say that he didn't care about the content on the radio, but he always felt that there was an invisible hand behind it all controlling their actions... Whether it was getting the qualification for free sightseeing, or gathering together to hear this
With the news about death row inmates escaping from prison, I always feel that things are not that simple.
Hopefully he was just overthinking it. He didn't want to have to perform police duties on his vacation.
