Satoru's future vision is certainly more reliable than Sugiura Kumiko's unknown origin.
There is certainly a problem with drinking the water in that strange space, there is no doubt about it.
But why did Sugiura lie to Kanoya?
Satoru said before that in the "future" she saw, there was a "failure ending" in which Kanoya drank the water from that space and was assimilated.
So, maybe this situation happened because the stupid apprentice was tricked?
Because all the most important "notes" have been told to Xiaolu, the little old man's communication is still open, and the master and apprentice begin to exchange other information in each other's hands.
The young apprentice briefly told the master all the clues she had obtained after staying in Songze for almost a day.
Including the name of Songze Village, as well as the strange time background here that is suspected to be seventy or eighty years ago.
Xiao Wu did not directly see the place name of Songze Village in his future vision, but now he has obtained important complements through the information from his apprentice.
Kanoya also told all his experiences——
Hunters with guns; Songze people always have weird smiles, as if they never have troubles; villagers eat strange black raw meat; Songze village seems to have a strange belief in leeches...
In addition, there is information obtained from Kumiko Sugiura.
Considering that there seems to be a lie in Sugiura's words, Xiaolu has not verified this part of the clues and is not sure whether it is true or false. He is just making a report to the master.
Kamiya explained all the other situations Satoru told him, such as "the existence of old gods and demons" and "eternal life and bliss".
After some exchanges, both the master and the apprentice gained a deeper understanding of Songze Village.
Combining the information currently available, Kamiya analyzed Kanoya's current situation, especially regarding Sugiura Kumiko, who was not mentioned in the guide.
[That Sugiura, you should be extra careful if you have contact with her again in the future. It's not yet completely certain why she told you that drinking water is okay. It may be that the information she has is wrong. For example, drinking water is actually better than eating.
The assimilation of those black pieces of flesh is just slow. She doesn’t know this, so she does bad things with good intentions.]
[Maybe she knows the truth and just wants to trick you into being assimilated into a Matsuzawa person. In fact, I am more inclined to the second possibility. I can't come to you right now, so I must be careful and guard against others.]
Two or three seconds after Kamiya's words were written down by the little old man, the disciple's reply was also crookedly written on the paper:
[I will be careful. Master, why do you think Sugiura lied to me? Are she and Matsuzawa the same group? Or is she the demon you mentioned, Master?]
Kanoya couldn't understand this.
She thought back to the exchange with Sugiura just now.
When the other party said, "I have finished all the emergency food," his eyes wandered, and he was obviously lying.
It will give people the feeling that Sugiura is not good at lying, and it will make people subconsciously feel that "their verbal skills are higher than the other person's, and they can easily see through the other person."
Later, when Sugiura said, "It's okay to drink water," his expression and demeanor were normal.
If she is really lying...
In other words, the first "clumsy lie" was intentional and was entirely the other party's acting?
Sugiura can calmly tell lies as truth, or even tell lies disguised as "lies"?
What a terrifying acting ability!
The deer's back is a little hairy.
"If I hadn't contacted Master in time, wouldn't I have been deceived by that Sugiura?"
Xiaolu is not really stupid, but after all, she is just a female high school student who is in her first year of high school, and she doesn’t have that many ideas.
In addition, the little old man No. 3 just gave information, saying that the aura on Sugiura's body should belong to ordinary people.
So why on earth did she lie to Kanoya?
Kamiyagawa: [Do you have anything on you that she wants to get? By the way, you just said you brought water and food?]
Kanoya: [Because I always carry my school bag. Then I packed a bottle of water for physical education class, and the sandwich that Hannya Master gave me for lunch was also in the bag, and there were two small buns. But I didn't tell
Sugiura I have these things.]
There was another pause of several seconds.
Kanoya: [Master... uh, but my vagina is bulging. Moreover, Sugiura took the initiative to tell me about the food. Although I didn't respond to her, but if she is really good at conversation skills, she might have seen through me.
?]
What the young apprentice said makes sense.
If Sugiura was just an ordinary person, then she might have deceived Kanoya because she had some intention of what Kanoya had on him.
It is known that the people of Songze live in harmony with their neighbors. As long as they do not leave Songze Village voluntarily, they will be treated as one family.
Assuming that the fawn was assimilated in advance and became the same as the Songze people, then she would have no need for normal food.
As a fellow villager, if Sugiura asks her for food again, will she not be refused?
That's why Sugiura reminded Kanoya to control the distribution of food and not eat too much every day.
The purpose is to further coax the fawn to drink water, and then naturally take away the supplies from the fawn?
Even when the time comes, Sugiura "borrows" other things from Kanoya, will it be easily agreed to because of the kindness of fellow villagers?
It seems that the woman may have taken the deer with the bulging schoolbag as a fat sheep.
Kamiyagawa: [That woman is most likely a very good liar. She may not even be from Jinshan, and may have deceived other people long ago. The Jinshan earthquake happened six days ago, and the woman may have stayed in Matsuzawa for more than six days.
God, Jinshan’s situation may have been obtained from the previous victim. No matter what she tells you after that, don’t believe it. We should have another chance to contact you. If she says something to you again, we will contact you next time.
Tell me completely.]
[I understand, Master.]
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The master and the apprentice communicated for more than ten minutes, and the little old men on both sides finally couldn't maintain contact and broke off the contact.
However, the scouts have done a good job.
This exchange was very thorough, and Kamiya and Kanoya basically raced against time to explain everything they had to say to each other.
…
A real-world strategy room.
Kamiya stayed in the office belonging to Yuki Masakisuke, looking at the densely written papers on the table in trance.
Next to him, Onizuka Kirihota handed him a cup of freshly brewed black coffee and looked at the paper: "What should we do, Agawa?"
"Let's check this Songze Village first. I wonder if the information in the countermeasures room will be mentioned. As for the information given by Xiaolu, I will share it at the meeting later."
"Well, now I'm going to tell the people in the data room, they are still working overtime."
Onizuka turned around and left the office.
"Special worship of leeches, Songze people will turn into leech people in the middle of the night."
"Matsuze people always smile and seem to have no worries."
Kamiya circled some information on the paper with a pen, and he suddenly thought of something.
"That special old god in Matsuzawa...is it a leech?"
Hiroko, the son of Izanagi and Izanami's first union, was a freak of inbreeding among the gods of nature, and was thrown into a reed boat and abandoned on the river.
There are no more records in mythology after that.
However, Kamiya knew more about this abandoned god.
For example, knowing that leeches are related to emotional empowerment.
He has a prop in his hand that originally belonged to Leech——
[Seven Emotions·Magatama: People have seven emotions: joy, anger, sadness, sorrow, fear, and fear. This piece of Magatama can sense emotions and slowly condense them into a core. It was originally the belonging of the abandoned god Shuizi. But the gods ignored lust.
There is no need for leeches among the gods.]
"What does eternal life and bliss mean?"
It seems to be right.
Kamiyagawa's mind was quick and he continued to speculate——
The people in Matsuzawa were assimilated by the leeches, and the gods were resurrected in their bodies, and they gained long lifespan, that is, eternal life.
However, under the influence of the leech's power, the seven emotions of "anger, sadness, sadness and fear" are thrown away, leaving only "joy", which is bliss.
"Then what are those black pieces of meat that the Matsuzawa people eat?"
God’s flesh and blood?
…
Songze Village.
Kanoya ended the communication with his master.
She took the time to read through the dense notebook several times, especially the part about what she should pay attention to in her next actions.
Xiaolu carries a schoolbag with him, and it is normal to have pen and paper in the bag.
After carefully reading and writing down the notes, the little old man tore out the "Strategy" part of the notebook, stuffed each piece into his mouth, chewed it up and swallowed it.
The situation here is different from that of Kamiya.
Kamiyagawa can keep the paper information and share the information with his teammates in the countermeasures room, but Xiaolu and Little Old Man No. 3 are in a dangerous environment, so it is safer to only keep these things in their minds.
It's a matter of life, and it won't be so easy to forget once you write it down.
"Okay, the next step is to act according to Master's instructions."
Kanoya took a deep breath.
"Master said he would come to save me, so there must be no problem."
Compared with the previous Liu Shen Wuzhu, she has become much calmer and has more confidence after communicating with her master.
Kamiya does have some special personality charm.
The people around him and Kaitan, no matter when they encounter difficult problems or are in danger, as long as Kamiya appears, it is like they have a backbone.
Even just a "Kaitan connection" can greatly improve Kanoya's current crisis handling status.
Little deer, be in high spirits!
"Master said that Sugiura is a liar. You can't believe her words if they are true or false. But if you just want to trick me into drinking water, then the other information given to me is most likely true. Nine truths and one falsehood, this may improve me
The level of trust in her."
"When the leech man appears late at night, I may use Little Grandpa No. 3 to verify the information she told me about the leech man. Then I will consider whether to leave Songze Village late at night."
"Master asked me to find a helper. The petite female wolf Guitan should be the one in the forest. As long as I get the help of that female wolf, the probability of success in my next actions will be greatly improved."
"But...why did Master emphasize that it was a female wolf? Well, does the gender of the wolf have anything to do with me convincing it to help me?"
…
The day and night time in the real world and Matsuzawa Village are synchronized.
Kanoya originally only contacted Kamiya in the early morning. It was only about twenty minutes after the contact was disconnected that the little old man gave an early warning on the 3rd.
There seemed to be something approaching around the house.
The little old man played the shakuhachi softly, and the sound of the flute was sobbing and desolate. It was like the sound of the night wind blowing the wheat fields under the moonlight, and the sound of monsters scurrying on the ridges of the fields.
The sound is very soft and can't be heard once you leave the room.
After the shakuhachi sound, the little old man No. 3 disappeared completely, and Kanoya could not smell his presence at all.
The deer approached the window and slightly opened a corner of the curtain.
It's gray outside and the moonlight is bleak. But you can see a humanoid figure walking slowly towards the house where you are.
The thing's movements were unusually slow, and the exposed skin on its body was blue-grey with a strange watery sheen.
"So, is that the leech man?"
Luyeya hid in the window, carefully observing each other's every move.
The leech man's limbs are shortened and fit closely to the torso. He holds a shotgun in his hand, and the muscles all over his body are squirming powerfully when he walks around.
The only hole on his face where his nose was originally was, and he wandered to the side of Luye House's "home" and stayed there for a while. The two holes twitched twice, and with the wet skin on the water, he could sense the smell in the direction of Luye House's "home".
, after confirming that there was no problem, he wandered away again with the gun in his hand.
Such tiny movements were invisible to Kanoya who was hiding in the house.
But the little old man No. 3, who blew the shakuhachi and got close to the leech man, could see it clearly.
The little old man is a natural scout, and he can judge some of Kaitan's abilities through close observation.
This talent has been frequently used when exploring the map in Taishen Valley, especially in the early stages.
According to the observations of the scouts, the Matsuzawa people who turned into leech-men had indeed reduced their other sensory abilities, but their sense of smell was unusually improved.
However, this improvement is not outrageous.
Anyway, the little old man still can’t sense the state of [emptiness].
After following the Leech Man for a while and observing all the information to be verified, the scout returned to Luye House without showing up. Instead, he wrote down all the information with his fingers on the dusty ground.
"Hmm... um..." Kanoya looked at the information fed back by the little old man No. 3, "It seems that what Sugiura said about the leech people is true."
Late at night, leech men will wander around the village, and deer are very likely to see this monster through the window.
If this information is true, it can greatly enhance the credibility of Sugiura's words.
As a result, the lies and traps in her words were ignored.
It's a clever trick.
If Xiaolu, who is relatively simple-minded, has not read the guide, there is a high probability that he will deceive the other party.
"In the middle of the night, we no longer work as a team and tend to wander independently. Other sensory abilities are reduced, but we are very sensitive to smells." Kanoya shook his head proudly and wiped off all the writing on the ground, "Humph. What a coincidence.
, my teacher Yun Ju is a master in handling smells, and I also learned some skills from her."
