"Is the safety rope tight, Eri-chan? This is very important."
"My grandpa's family lives near the sea of trees."
"Let me tell you, it's not a big deal for two people to bring a bunch of outdoor professional equipment into Aokigahara. I have a friend who didn't bring any equipment at first, so he just..."
"It looks like it's very dark around here, the road is difficult to walk, and there are a lot of insects. Please be careful, Eri-chan."
"Let's walk faster. Don't wait too long. You want to see the body of the suicide."
"Oh! Yes, yes, I really want to see it too."
"..."
The barrage in the live broadcast room flashed by one by one.
Audiences on the YouTube channel from all over the world express their feelings with the help of words, with mixed joys and sorrows.
"Eh——? Corpse? If you really see it, it will definitely be very scary, right?"
While walking in the sea of trees, Mishan looked for topics from various bullet screens.
The safety rope tied around her waist had been dragged out for a long distance, and the terrain of the sea of trees was rugged. After trekking in the depths of the sea of trees for nearly an hour, she was out of breath and felt exhausted.
Pingtian, who was carrying a lot of tools on his back, was not much better off than her.
Tsuboda, who was following along to shoot the editing material, held up a portable camera with one hand and used the other hand to wipe the sweat on his forehead: "Eri, let's take a break."
"Okay." Yoneyama nodded, and then said to the mobile phone camera used for live broadcast, "Everyone, Huiji and I need to take a rest now."
Live broadcast room barrage——
"Eri-chan is great!"
"It's so boring. I walked for so long and didn't see anything. There were only trees around."
"..."
"Eri, drink some water."
Pingtian took out a bottle of mineral water from his hiking bag and handed it over, along with a large grain bar.
"Thank you." Mishan reached out to take it, then carefully sat on a mossy stone, and started to eat the whole grain bar directly with the mineral water, "Huiji, this whole grain bar tastes weird, and it's so sticky.
, is it damp?"
"Is it a brand problem? I won't buy this next time."
Although the taste was very strange, after eating for a short time, it at least added a certain amount of calories and water to the body, and Mishan felt a little more energetic.
She stood up from the damp stone, wiped the sticky food residue from the corner of her mouth, dragged the safety rope and took two steps forward, then looked at the live broadcast room:
"Eh? Wait a minute, everyone, I seem to smell a rotten smell. I noticed it when I just ate, but I'm not sure. If you take two steps in this direction, the smell seems to get stronger."
Mishan was not lying, nor was he deliberately trying to create a show.
There seems to be a faint rancid smell in the air.
She could vaguely smell it when she was eating the whole grain bar.
As soon as these words were spoken, the number of barrages in the live broadcast room increased visibly to the naked eye——
"The smell of putrid corpses."
"Did you really encounter the body of a person who committed suicide?"
"Finally something I want to see!"
"..."
Mishan: "Everyone, I'm actually a little scared when you say this - eh? Even if you give me a gift, I'll... Ah, um, thank you, thank you... Okay, okay, for your sake, I'll just go over and take a look.
.If I encounter something strange later, you must call the emergency number for me as soon as possible."
Mishan greeted Pingtian, and the two of them continued to hold on to the red safety rope around their waists and walked forward.
The camera in the live broadcast room was shaking.
After shaking for a while, it slowly stabilized.
The camera was focused on a huge tree trunk, and a broken body could be seen on the ground beside the trunk.
Not human, but a wild boar.
The wild boar died in a miserable state, as if it had been disemboweled by some wild beast, and there were obvious bite marks on the body.
Moreover, the body must have been dead for several days, and the body had begun to rot. The dark red flesh on the abdomen was turned out, and white maggots could be seen squirming on it, exuding a strong putrid smell.
Live broadcast room barrage——
"What? It turns out it's just a wild boar."
"Ugh, it's so disgusting. I'm eating! Move the camera away!"
"No, there's something wrong with the gnawing marks on this dead pig. Why don't they look like scars left by some wild beast, but instead look like human teeth marks?"
"Wow! It's even more disgusting. Stop talking!"
"Maybe it's a savage."
"..."
"Don't scare me about human tooth marks. Can this be seen?" Seeing the barrage, Mi Shan, who was hiding his face and photographing the wild boar carcass with his mobile phone, looked horrified.
Live broadcast room barrage——
"Really, my veterinarian at the zoo. I can confirm that carnivores or scavengers with sharp teeth will not leave such tooth marks on the corpse. Only humans with relatively flat teeth can."
"Wow! There are really all kinds of talents in the live broadcast room, and they speak well. I really like staying here."
"..."
"Stop taking pictures, Eri. The human bite marks and so on are definitely just made up by the viewers in the live broadcast room to scare you. But I heard that there are bears in Aokigahara, even other wild animals, in this area
It’s not that safe either, let’s get out of here quickly.”
Tsuboda on the side began to quietly comfort his colleagues and suggested leaving quickly.
At this time, Yoneyama Eri no longer wanted to see what the audience in the live broadcast room was discussing. She nodded, quickly grabbed her safety rope, and left quickly with Tsuboda.
I walked briskly for about ten minutes.
Because he was too focused on his feet, he didn't pay attention to the live broadcast room. When Mishan looked up again, he found that there were an unusually large number of barrages in the live broadcast room. The audience seemed to be discussing something——
"It really does! It really does! I heard it too!"
"There are strange sounds, Eri-chan."
"The sound of rattling is getting louder and louder. Didn't Eri and Huiji hear it?"
"..."
Yoneyama Eri looked at the barrage in the live broadcast room one by one, and the expression on her face became more and more frightened: "Sound? You all, don't scare me. There is no sound..."
Before he finished speaking, the little internet celebrity suddenly heard it.
Karakala -
Deep in the sea of trees, the trees are towering, blocking out the sky and the sun.
Even during the day, the light is dim, and the dim shadows of the dancing trees sway in the wind.
There was a sound like a thick hemp rope being slowly tightened, and it came from somewhere in the forest.
What's even more strange is that this sound, which should obviously be very small, sounds extremely clear at this moment.
"Maybe it's just that our safety rope was caught by something." Tsuboda's expression was also a little unnatural and frightened, but he still tried to calm himself and Yoneyama Eri's emotions. It was obvious that he also heard the "Kara" just now
"Kara" strange sound, "Eri, why don't we turn back here."
"Well, look back."
The two of them retreated, each holding the safety rope and turning around.
This time I have been shooting deep in Aokigahara for a long time.
Moreover, "the carcass of a wild boar that was suspected to have been eaten by humans" and the "inexplicable rattling sound like a tight rope in the deep forest", these two things are already considered to be somewhat supernatural, and they were both recorded by the camera.
It's enough for fans to discuss for a long time.
Just accept it when you see it.
Mishan and Pingtian turned around and suddenly stopped simultaneously.
When they turned around, they seemed to see something.
Live broadcast room barrage——
"Why aren't you moving? Eri-chan?"
"I understand, the time-stop series."
"Looking at them, they seem to have discovered something."
"Oh my god, it's so exciting!"
"..."
"Everyone..." Mishan raised her hand, tremblingly, and raised the viewing angle of the mobile phone fixed on the hat. By taking pictures of her own mobile phone, she could see that her pupils were obviously enlarged and her breathing was rapid, "There seems to be someone over there.
.”
The environmental shots of the live broadcast room were fixed on a hillside on the opposite side.
Through the shadows of the trees, you can vaguely see a man wearing a gray and white striped shirt, carrying an orange bag, hanging his head, walking not too far away in an extremely dejected manner. The man walked past a tree
shadow, and then strangely disappeared.
Live broadcast room barrage——
"Is he someone who committed suicide?"
"Eri-chan, hurry up and stop him!"
"I finally understand it. Is this the script? I'm going to take a blind guess. The next plot is for Eri and Huiyoshi to catch up with the man and use some sunny words to encourage the other person to regain hope in life. Guess wrong.
Transform into a cat girl and make everyone happy."
"Fast forward to I'm Just Passing by as a Justice Partner."
"That man is so weird, and he disappears very strangely. Is he really a human?"
"..."
"Everyone..." Mishan's voice was already crying, and every word he spoke was trembling, "That man is very strange, I just saw him... he was walking on his toes!"
Karakala -
Somewhere in the dark forest, the sound of the thick hemp rope being stretched began to be heard again.
"Walk!"
Tsuboda, who was traveling with him, naturally saw the weirdness of the strange man just now, but he seemed to be a little calmer, and directly threw down the portable camera in his hand and the mountaineering bag on his back, and he was already a little paralyzed by fright when he picked it up.
Eri Yoneyama ran wildly in the direction of the safety rope.
But because the mobile devices used for the live broadcast were fixed on Mishan’s hat, the live broadcast was not interrupted.
Live broadcast room barrage——
"Why did you run away? Why didn't you save me?"
"Aren't you too immoral? That's a human life."
"I quite liked you."
"I've already called for help."
"It should be a script, right?"
"Hahahahahahaha, it turns out it's not a justice script, but a horror script. Is the person who turned into a cat girl still there?"
"It must be a script. But don't tell me, Eri-chan's acting skills are really good. You should be rewarded for your good work!"
"..."
The camera in the live broadcast room was still shaking violently, and the dim tree shadows were hanging upside down and swaying wildly.
At the same time, I could hear Yoneyama Eri's breathing as she ran violently, and a vague "clacking" sound that seemed to be following closely behind her.
Live broadcast room barrage——
"The gasping sound coming from Eri-chan sounds a bit bad."
"Everyone, although it's a little inappropriate, I seem to be getting excited."
"Stop turning, I'm dizzy."
"..."
"ah!"
Yoneyama Eri's screams.
After that, the camera image shook violently, and then stabilized slightly.
It seems that Mishan fell while running.
The image on the screen is facing the roots of a big tree. On the ground are an orange backpack, a pair of shoes, and a piece of white paper with writing on it pressed by stones.
Immediately afterwards, the camera began to slowly move up as Yoneyama Eri raised her head.
A pair of dangling legs and a gray-and-white striped shirt appeared in the picture.
Further up, there is a rotten human face with muddy eyes, wide eyes, a wide mouth, and a deathly gray color!
It's the man walking on tiptoes that I saw in the woods just now!
His neck was tightly strangled by a hemp rope, and the rough rope was deeply embedded in his flesh.
Karakala -
The sound of the hemp rope stretching came from the neck of the hanged man.
The rope loosened for no reason, and the hanged corpse hit Eri Yoneyama who was lying on the ground!
Mishan screamed: "Ah!!!!!!!"
"Let's go! Eri!"
In this extremely horrifying moment, Tsuboda dragged Eri Yoneyama up again.
The screen in the live broadcast room began to shake violently again.
And now in the sea of trees.
Karakala -
The sound of the hemp rope stretching never stopped for a moment, and became louder and louder.
Looking upward from the hanged man's body, on the canopy of trees that blocked the sky, new and old ropes were entangled with each other, making it difficult to distinguish each other.
And under each section of rope, there was a body hanging.
These dead bodies were hung in rows and rows like dried bacon.
Like the whining mountain wind blowing over, the dim tree shadows, tangled ropes, and shriveled corpses all swayed.
Karakala.
…
"Hu-ha-hu-ha-"
Mishan didn't know how he escaped from the depths of the sea of trees.
Tears of fear filled her eyes, making her unable to see the road at all.
Along the way, she was just dragged by Pingtian and ran. She fell down and got up again, fell down and got up again. She didn't know how many times she ran, and she didn't know how long she ran.
Now that his clothes were torn and covered in blood, Mi Shan finally escaped back to where Zhui Chu tied the safety rope.
It can also be regarded as the end of the black fire rock road, where there is an official warning sign.
"Huiji, let's untie the safety rope and keep walking!"
Yoneyama Eri still couldn't stop crying. Her hand tightly grasped Tsuboda's hand, holding it very, very tightly. It seemed that only in this way could she feel that her companion was by her side and find a little illusory sense of security.
Tsuboda Teruyoshi did not reply, and the surroundings were strangely quiet.
"Teguchi?"
Mishan raised the back of his hand that was stained with dried mud and blood, wiped his eyes hard, and wiped away tears.
She saw Tsuboda Teruyoshi standing motionless beside her, raising his head and staring at the crown of the big tree where the safety rope was tied at the beginning. She didn't know what he was looking at intently.
Eri Yoneyama: "Teguchi? I'm scared, Teruyoshi."
This time, Tsuboda had some reaction. He looked at Mishan expressionlessly, his lips opening and closing, as if he was saying something, but no words came out of his mouth.
There was only a raw, extremely strange sound squeezing out from his throat.
Karakala -
It was a sound like a thick hemp rope being slowly tightened.
"no no!!!"
Yoneyama Eri was so frightened that she let go of her hand and backed away.
In panic, she caught a glimpse of the phone screen that had been hanging in front of her forehead.
The live broadcast has not been interrupted until now.
However, there was not even a single barrage in the live broadcast room.
And the moment Mishan's eyes focused on the mobile phone screen, a large number of barrages poured out, densely packed——
"look up!"
"look up!"
"look up!"
"look up!"
"..."
Because of the extreme fear, Yoneyama Eri's body trembled violently, but somehow she managed to raise her head.
So, she saw it.
There was a figure hanging on the big tree next to me where the safety rope was originally tied.
He was wearing a familiar jacket, a large mountaineering bag on his back, and even a portable camera clutched tightly in his hand.
Pingtian.
It was Pingtian who was hung high on the tree crown, right above his head.
The rope that hung him was a red safety rope. The safety rope was wrapped around the big tree many times in a messy manner, as if it had been tied into an indestructible knot.
This long rope was twisted and twisted around the tree. One end was connected to Pingtian's neck, and the other end was tied around his waist!
Karakala -
Tsuboda's body swayed slightly under the shadow of the tree, and the sound of the hemp rope stretching came from his neck.
Snapped.
Yoneyama Eri was lying on her back, frozen in place, and something soft fell from Tsuboda on the tree crown onto her face.
They were two squirming fat white maggots.
Tsuboda Teruyoshi seems to have been dead for a long time, and has begun to rot and grow maggots.
At this time, in the live broadcast room, dense barrage was still pouring out like a tide——
