Let's Face Your Fear Together Chapter 123 The red maple is like blood
At about eight o'clock in the evening, the rain in Maple Mountain in Songshan City gradually stopped. The red maple forest was still vivid under the twilight, as if burning in the darkness.
The brilliant lights of the city in the distance are intoxicating, just like diamonds sprinkled on the beach, shining with the brilliance of the stars and the moon. And the water of the Name River has surged due to the recent heavy rain, so the sound of gurgling water at the foot of the mountain can also be heard in the ears.
.
The boy and the girl overlook the city surrounded by red maples. Such a romantic world for the two is enviable.
"...Brother Chengye, it's so beautiful." The girl's dark eyes reflected the gorgeous city.
She was wearing a school uniform and a short skirt, her slender and youthful body was filled with youthful vitality, and her long, silky hair was fluttering in the evening breeze. This child was actually one of the rare good children who neither dyed nor permed her hair.
"But, Yuri-chan, wouldn't it be bad for us to come out without permission? According to Ohno-sensei, strange things always happen here at night. Now that we've seen it, we really have to go back early, right? What if the teacher finds out?
It's..." the boy on the other side said worriedly, saying unpleasant words without even realizing it.
The two of them were conversing in pure San language, which showed that it was a group activity organized by the San Academy in Songshan City. Both students were well-dressed and well-dressed, and they did not have their hair permed or dyed in pursuit of individuality.
It's not like putting some messy patterns on school uniforms.
On the contrary, whether it is a girl or a boy, the bookish atmosphere and the faint pride show that the two of them are not ordinary people.
But it is really surprising that two seemingly top students broke the rules and broke away from the group and came to the mountain top terrace together.
"Mou, Brother Chengye, you are always like this and can't understand the air." The girl put her hands behind her back and turned sideways and said to Chengye: "So, why do we have to blindly follow the words of our teachers and parents? Here it is.
But Songshan! Are there any large wild animals still there? There won't be any danger. It's hard for two people to be alone together, shouldn't we cherish this time?"
"But, Yuri-chan, what happened online recently..." Chengye still frowned and hesitated. He felt uneasy in this red maple forest more than once.
"The man must die! This is modern times, Brother Chengye, you have to believe in science. This is a world ruled by materialism. How can those terrible things happen? So, don't always watch those strange videos.
.Those people dare to fabricate anything in order to become famous." Yuri didn't take it seriously and said, leaning on the railing.
Living in this era, you can be afraid of the dark and suspicious of ghosts, but if you say that you believe there are ghosts in this world, you will definitely be laughed at by most people, even though many people themselves are also doubtful.
Although many people in this world have photographed real ghosts, those who believe are becoming more convinced, and those who don’t believe are still unbelieving. There is even a craze on the Internet, including shooting supernatural videos to prove, and questioning these video photos that are difficult to distinguish between true and false.
.It is unclear whether this trend is driven by others or spontaneous, but the good thing is that the social order is still stable. After all, most people follow the herd and are willing to believe in what they believe to be true.
"However, there are reports of people missing here recently..."
Yuri took out the amulet hanging from JK's collar and said: "Don't worry, I
And this! This is the peace charm my mother got from the temple devoutly."
"Brother Chengye, Hayage, finally wait until the rain stops and take a photo for me?"
Chengye couldn't help but relax a little when he saw Yuri-chan's cute expression.
"Maybe I really worry too much." Chengye took out his mobile phone.
The girl posed, but the moment she saw the phone screen, Chengye's face turned pale.
In the camera lens, a woman covered in rags was grabbing Yuri's shoulders. She seemed to feel that she was being spied on. The ghost raised her head, and her unrecognizable head seemed to be smiling.
"...Yuri-chan." Chengye's mind went blank and his phone dropped to the ground.
He felt cold all over, and his legs and feet were stiff. He actually didn't believe in supernatural legends, but what happened now? Is this a prank? Is it? But why... the peace charm... Yuri-chan's peace charm
Why doesn't it work?
"What's wrong, Brother Chengye?" Yuri felt something was wrong in the atmosphere. Just as she was about to say something, she suddenly tensed up and felt something strange on her shoulders, "Brother Chengye, what happened behind me..."
The girl felt as if there were gusts of cold wind blowing on her neck, and couldn't help but turn her head.
"いいえ!!!"
A female scream echoed in the mountains, and the mountain wind gusted in the red maple forest, which was masked by the rustling of leaves.
Zhang Luo, who was wearing hiking boots and was pulling Bai Su up, seemed to hear something. He raised his head and frowned, not knowing what he was thinking.
"Brother Luo, what's wrong?" Bai Su asked, wiping the sweat on his forehead.
Zhang Luo shook his head: "It's nothing, maybe it's the wind."
The mountains were very slippery after the rain. Although there were stone steps, they were covered with moss. He had to watch Bai Su carefully. The girl's slender arms and legs made him always afraid of accidentally falling.
It broke.
It's really troublesome.
Originally he didn't want to take the child with him, but he was caught when he went out and guessed the destination, which made Zhang Luo very upset. He didn't know how the girl guessed it. Could it be that she had learned a lot?
Prophecy?
The girl kept saying that she hoped to face it with him. The stubbornness in her eyes made him worry that it would be too dangerous for the girl to follow her alone. It would be better to take her with him so that she could be taken care of.
To be honest, when he was watching anime, he hated the kind of supporting characters who had no ability and liked to hold back the protagonist. But when he was in his position, he had to take care of Bai Su's mood. He knew that Bai Su was afraid, afraid
The worlds of the two people are getting farther and farther apart, and they have gradually lost contact with each other. Although the girl is not old, her feelings in some aspects are still very keen.
Zhang Luo was destined to be unable to live a normal life from the day he got Di Tingshu.
And this girl's emotions are like a moth rushing to a flame. It's not just that she can't refuse.
Who told him to keep flirting with others recently? It doesn't mean everything will be fine after flirting. He has to be responsible. Otherwise, if something happens, it will be difficult for him to deal with things when his mother comes back.
So Zhang Luo took her to the city to buy some hiking equipment, kneepads, mosquito repellent, hiking shoes, headlamps and medicine for injuries.
He himself had no intention of using it, because this guy didn't feel proud
How delicate I am. Even though my forehead was injured and almost disfigured, I didn’t care much about it.
However, he still regarded Bai Su as more delicate. Although the girl looked thin, climbing was not as tiring as Zhang Luo imagined. Moreover, the mountains nearby were not high.
The red maple forest covers a large area and several hills. There are forest rangers and recreational facilities specially designed for sightseeing. What Zhang Luo passed by on the train was just a river valley passing by the forest. Of course, the area they were in was not
It is accessible to ordinary tourists. It can be seen from the slippery moss and fallen leaves covering the ground that no one walks around this place.
It's very quiet. If you shine a light on it, you can still see the torii gate that has been in disrepair and has faded in color. There should be a shrine at the end.
This is not surprising. On the Sun Islands, a shrine can be built near any mountain, river, or even a well, similar to the Earth Temple and City God Temple in Biuan. That’s why Zhang Luo saw the so-called Heyuan Shrine.
I'll have a headache, who knows where this shrine is.
Having said that, who would have thought that there would be a group of ghosts here if it wasn't for the intention?
Although it has not caused a disaster-level incident like Liugu Academy, it is dangerous enough. This is the eastern suburbs of Songshan, not too far from the Dongcheng District of Zhang Luo's family. Sooner or later, a bunch of ghosts gathered here will cause trouble, and they must be cleaned up
This will prevent you from being turned into a disaster and having your home stolen.
Moreover, Zhang Luo, who has experienced many supernatural events, is also confident in hunting spirits below the level of ghosts in this barren mountain.
Probably not long after waking up, Bai Su was in good spirits. In the evening, he and Zhang Luo visited the valley full of red maple leaves and ate ramen together at the foot of the mountain. Their steps were brisk and they were in a happy mood.
It feels like I came here specially for a date and fun.
But Zhang Luo hasn't seen a single ghost so far, and his mood is much worse in comparison.
A little ghost jumped out faintly. Despite his short stature, his speed was not affected at all in this mountain forest. But ordinary passers-by would inevitably have a heart attack after seeing it.
"Mo Lei, haven't you found anything yet?"
The kid shook his head, his dark eyes were strange and dull. After dying once, this ghost became even more stupid.
Zhang Luo raised his head and looked around the red maple forest. It was getting very late and the woods were dense, but he didn't encounter a single ghost.
Where's the promised haunt? I feel like I've been tricked.
Bai Su looked at Mo Lei and didn't know what to say. She had seen this little ghost more than once, but she was still a little scared in her heart, so she didn't take the initiative to have any form of contact with the ghost.
She also knew what the two of them were here for. Just like in the anime when they were children, Xiaozhi and others captured Pokémon all over the mountains and plains. They just replaced those cute Pokémon with ghosts, but the usage was similar.
Well, it's also much more dangerous.
But she came anyway.
Just as she said when she blocked Zhang Luo's way: "...I don't know what help I can do to you, but I am still very unwilling to sit in a stable hut in the city and look at you, Brother Luo.
I go out every once in a while to fight unknown supernatural beings and battle wits and courage with those bad guys. I can’t bear to see your world getting further and further away from me.”
"I know my behavior is willful, but I just can't control it. I don't want that fate!"
