In such a low echo, the huge lake gradually turned into brilliance, shattered and collapsed, and disappeared into the sunset in the blink of an eye.
But when I came back to my senses and looked at the setting sun on the horizon, I found that the huge source of light and heat had not set at all.
It was as if everything just now was just a mirage, giving everyone an extremely strong sense of separation.
Taozi screamed suddenly, then rolled her eyes and fainted.
Hoshino Fujiko retracted and grabbed Aoi Keisuke's hand as if he was electrocuted, and then took two deep breaths before asking breathlessly: "What happened just now?"
Qing Guijie sealed the bracelet in the box again, and the blood smeared on it had been evaporated and disappeared.
He replied: "The breath on the bracelet resonated with Daze Mountain, causing the memories of the past and the lingering curse to overlap, which led to this spectacular vision."
Wanting to cause such a scene also has something to do with the time when day and night are about to change.
Of course, the biggest reason is that the aura bound by the seal was suddenly released by Qing Keisuke, causing a quantitative change to a qualitative change.
"Is this what you want to show Otomo Sawaki?"
"Although it's a little different, the effect is the same, right?" Qing Keisuke said with a smile.
He was the only one present who remained calm about this big scene, with an annoyingly relaxed look on his face.
In the other corner of the observation deck, Otomo Zeshu tremblingly helped Kitazawa Oda stand up.
"Kitazawa Police Department, was that an illusion just now?"
"I have no idea……"
Kitazawa Oda's hat fell to the ground and he forgot to pick it up.
"Yuanzi clearly said that those people have solved the trouble...why does this kind of thing still happen?"
Qing Keisuke brought Hoshino over and said to the two of them: "It seems that we can finally talk openly and honestly."
"Wha...what?"
"Are you saying that the scene just now was just a mirage?" Hoshino's cold ridicule shocked the bodies of the two middle-aged men, which shows how harsh her tone was.
"..."
Kitazawa Oda squatted down dejectedly, picked up his hat and dusted it off.
"It would be great if it was fake." He murmured to himself.
Sawaki Otomo's expression was shaken as never before. He grabbed Kitazawa Oda's shoulders and yelled in a questioning tone: "What on earth is going on! What did Miss Sonoko tell you?"
"She said that a group of people came to Daze Mountain before and had already solved 'there'... It won't take long for the problems that bother us to disappear."
Perhaps affected by the vision just now, Kitazawa Oda's spirit was a little broken, so he immediately answered Sawaki's question.
"It really won't bother you for too long."
Qing Keisuke told them thoughtfully: "When all of you related people are dead, this curse will surely come to an end."
The person Kitazawa Oda said was most likely the official who took away the treasures inside Osawa Mountain. The string of beads owned by Hoshino was one of the harvests.
But instead of solving this strong curse together, they decided to let it continue to exist.
This may be because the cost of settlement is too high, so they simply take the benefits and leave.
However, it may also be because these natives of Daze Mountain are considered guilty and should continue to suffer this kind of torture.
"Qinggui...Mr."
Zeshu Otomo raised his head in shock: "What do you mean?"
"Of course I can tell you the answer, but I'm not generous enough to ask you questions."
Qing Keisuke spread his hands: "Now answer my question first, what happened in this mountain."
"this……"
Zeshu Otomo glanced at Kitazawa Oda who was squatting.
Kitazawa Oda trimmed his hair, put his uniform hat back on his head, and wiped his face vigorously a few times.
"...before that, please at least tell us, who are you?"
There was an inexplicable emotion in his eyes, as if he wanted to ask for help for the last time before despair.
Aoi Keisuke smiled arrogantly upon hearing this, and said softly: "He is the one who can definitely solve this problem."
"this……"
When Zeshu Otomo heard his answer, he felt very ridiculous. Just as he was about to say something, Kitazawa stopped him.
"This is enough. To get such a guarantee... it can even be said to be too generous."
His eyes lit up, and his tone became passionate: "Zeshu, you must seize this opportunity!"
"I...I understand." The talkative Zeshu Otomo hesitated when he heard the words.
"You know your situation better." Keisuke Qing glanced at the police officer approvingly.
"Please let me calm down."
"Please."
Kitazawa Oda lit another cigarette and pumped every puff into his lungs with all his strength. He smoked five or six cigarettes in succession until his tongue was burning before he stopped.
Because Hoshino hated the smell of smoke, the two of them walked to the edge of the observation deck again.
"What exactly is a curse?"
"It can be easily thought of as a kind of magic. The power itself is stimulated in the form of a 'curse', and is affected and controlled by the curse, thus showing unique characteristics.
If you want to understand it more deeply, you can think of curses as an extension of ‘ideas’. Negative emotions such as ignorance, resentment, hatred, anger, pain, jealousy, sadness, etc. are all the source of curses.
All in all, a thought can become a curse."
Hoshino Fujiko nodded as if he understood, and then continued to ask: "What is the curse of Mount Osawa?"
Qing Keisuke said carefully: "Looking at it now, it's not sure yet. But the curse here has been completely tied to the aborigines of Osawa Mountain. It can even be said that they themselves are maintaining the curse, so it is very interesting.
.”
interesting……?
Hoshino was a little speechless, but he was surprised that Aoi Keisuke was indifferent to the spectacle just now.
But... according to the relationship described by Qing Keisuke, this can indeed be called interesting.
And if you think about the suffering suffered by the native people of Daze Mountain, it seems...well...
Hoshino Fujiko pursed her lips, but she did not come here for the curse, but for the dreams conveyed to her in the beads and the whispers in her ears.
So she temporarily put aside her thoughts on the wonders and asked about the lake.
She had seen that lake many times in her dreams, and had even been close to it and touched the cool water, so she was very familiar with it.
But what appeared with the lake at that time was not the strange corpse in the middle of the lake.
Why is this?
Regarding her question, Qing Keisuke just shook his head and said that he had no clue.
"When they tell the truth, the truth should be revealed."
"……Um."
Hoshino rolled up his hair, stopped talking, suppressed the turbulent waves in his heart, and calmly waited for today's harvest.
