In the early morning of Sunday (Saturday), the sky is dark blue, almost black, and the temperature is low.
Haneda Airport in Tokyo.
7-11 convenience store.
The clerk was a little sleepy after staying up all night.
Kamiyagawa bought a cup of instant coffee here and waited for the flight check-in.
There were occasional loudspeaker announcements in the waiting room outside, and the bright tile floor reflected the hurried appearance of passengers dragging their suitcases.
While waiting, Kamiyagawa received news from [Murasole].
This elder’s recent schedule has been a bit hellish, and the time for sending and replying messages is completely irregular——
[Purple Shangzhang]: "Hey! Everything on my side is almost over, what about you? How are you doing on the big things you mentioned before?"
[Honest Foreigner]: "The process was a bit tortuous, but the result is good. In short, it was completed smoothly."
[Purple Shangzhang]: "Congratulations then."
[Honest Foreigner]: "What about you? Have you completed your work successfully?"
[Purple Shangzhang]: "Not a single thing was completed! Complete failure!"
[Purple Shangzhang]: "But it doesn't matter anymore. It's over anyway, and I got a lot of hard work money, so we can just treat it as a trip."
[Honest foreigner]: "Are you traveling? Where have you been?"
[Murakami]: "Tokyo! As you said before, right, you live near Tokyo."
[Honest foreigner]: "Well. Next time you come to Tokyo, let me know in advance. Maybe I can treat you to dinner."
[The Honest Stranger]: "Thank you for your always being so enthusiastic about helping me answer my questions."
[Purple Shangzhang]: "Hahaha~ Okay, next time. Definitely next time."
[Murakami]: "Speaking of which, I don't really like big cities like Tokyo. I'd rather go to a place like Kanagawa. Tokyo is too hot."
[Honest foreigner]: "Hahaha. I don't like Tokyo very much either."
[Honest foreigner]: "Let's not chat for now, I have to catch a plane, boss."
[Purple Shangzhang]: "Are you going on a trip too?"
[Honest foreigner]: "That's right."
[Purple Shangzhang]: "Then I wish you a smooth journey."
"Passengers heading to Fukuoka International Airport, please note: Your flight NH239 is now boarding. Please take your belongings with you, show your boarding pass, and board the plane through Gate 2. I wish you a pleasant journey. Thank you!"
Amidst the announcement from the airport radio, Kamiyagawa finished his coffee and left the convenience store.
Ticket check, security check, boarding.
everything is normal.
It takes about 2 hours to fly from Haneda Airport to Fukuoka Airport.
After sitting down in his seat, Kamiyagawa fastened his seat belt and closed his eyes, drifting off to sleep.
Catching a cheap flight in the early morning is physically and mentally tiring.
A long time passed.
The plane turned on its taxi lights and sped up from the runway. The passengers in the cabin were filled with expectations, excitement, or sleepiness, and blended into the newly gray sky.
…
Fukuoka City, Inunaki Pass.
After several rounds of transportation, it was already noon, and Kamiya River finally arrived at this area.
He came here by taxi.
The taxi stopped at an intersection on Inuning Highway.
In the early years, Fukuoka closed the entire Inunaki area, and the only one open to the outside world was the Inunaki Highway.
As for the roads leading to the interior of Inunaki Pass, they are all blocked by roadblocks and cannot be opened to traffic.
If you want to go inside the marked points on the second map, you can only walk on foot.
When he got off the taxi and was about to pay, the uncle who drove the taxi looked at Kamiyakawa twice: "Young man, are you going to explore Inunaki Village?"
"Not really, I just came here to take a look."
"Look? What's so interesting here? I'm not trying to scare you, uncle. There are a lot of weird things in this area, and they are very evil." The taxi driver spoke with a Kansai accent and offered good advice.
"I know, thank you for reminding me, uncle." Kamiyakawa forced a smile.
Seeing that he could not persuade the young man who wanted to die, the taxi uncle stopped talking, collected the money, stepped on the accelerator and drove away quickly.
It seems that he is unwilling to stay near the Inuning Highway.
Watching the taxi's taillights fading away, Kamiyagawa looked back. The three-way road he was currently standing on, the small road on the north side, led to the interior of Inunaki Pass.
It can be seen that this small road has been blocked with several stone roadblocks, and a peeling paint warning sign "No Entry" is erected next to it.
"It's noon, I hope there won't be any trouble near this damn place."
Kamiyakawa stretched out his hand and took out the "Blooded Hatchet" from the "Mirage Cloth Bag".
Then I opened "Kaitan Monogatari" on my phone, followed the instructions on the 3D panoramic map, and moved forward past the roadblocks and warning signs.
The trees on both sides of the small road are lush and green, blocking the summer sun.
A young man holding a hatchet walked among them, making a strange gesture with his free left hand, and crackling blue arc lights instantly exploded around his body.
Before officially entering the place of ghost talk, pinch the Five Thunder Finger.
While dispelling the obsession of wandering souls that may exist around you, you can also seek good luck.
…
After walking on the abandoned road for about 40 minutes, it was 1 o'clock in the afternoon.
The current location of Kamiya River has penetrated deep into Inunaki Mountain.
There was a thick layer of dead branches and leaves on the road, and no one was cleaning it.
When you step on it, it feels soft and a bit unrealistic.
The vegetation here is more dense, and the sunlight falls through the lush branches and leaves, so it is not too warm. The surroundings are quiet, except for the occasional chirping of insects and birds.
"Hey - why do you feel so cold?" Kamiyagawa took out a thin jacket from the [Mirage Bag] and put it on.
Inside Inunaki Pass, the temperature seems to be much lower than outside.
Of course, this may just be because this area has gone deep into the mountains and forests.
Taking advantage of the pause, Kamiyagawa carefully calibrated the map route.
"The straight-line distance to the marked point is still about 1.3 kilometers. If you walk faster and open a map, you will definitely be able to leave this ghost place before dark."
Kamiyagawa started to take action again.
The location of the marked point is shown as the entrance of the Quanming Tunnel.
In the entire Inunming area, there are two Inuning tunnels, the old and the new.
The new one, located on the outermost Inuming Highway, is still open to traffic.
The map indicates that the Kamiya River is looking for the old one, deep in Inunaki Mountain, which has been abandoned for a long time.
The Old Quanming Tunnel itself is an extremely famous supernatural spot, where many supernatural events and murders have occurred.
Among the people, there is another saying.
As long as you pass through the old Inuming Tunnel, you can reach the Inuming Pass area, which is the legendary supernatural place - Inuming Valley Village.
