Ogata followed closely behind Amachi, and they ran forward one after another.
Not long after, Oubong saw vague shadows of buildings starting to appear in front of him.
"There really is a village..." Ogata muttered, "Machi, your eyesight is really good..."
"Of course. Good eyesight is also one of my proudest abilities... huh?"
A-Machi suddenly twitched her little nose, and then slowly frowned.
The person who also frowned was Ogata walking beside her.
The two of them smelled a... strange smell almost at the same time.
"...It's the smell of putrid corpses." A-Machi's face suddenly darkened, and he raised his hand to cover his mouth and nose, "And...it seems to be coming from the village in front..."
"Look carefully..." Ogata on the side also said in a deep voice at this time, "There is no smoke in this village... there is no smoke at all..."
"Ayi, here you go."
Atachi took out two black handkerchiefs and handed one to Ogata.
"You can smell the rotten smell so far away from the village... I can't imagine how stinky it is in this village. We'd better cover our mouths and noses with a piece of cloth."
"Thank you." Ogata took the handkerchief from Amachi.
The handkerchief Amachi handed over was very wide, and its size was more than enough to cover the mouth and nose.
The two people, who were well protected, slowly moved towards the village in front of them that was constantly exuding a putrid smell...
As the distance between him and the village continued to shrink, Ogata slowly drew out the sword from his waist to prepare for any eventuality.
Atachi also pulled out the wakizashi hanging from her lower back.
As the distance got closer, Ogata gradually saw the whole village clearly.
From the outside, this is just an ordinary village. It's not too big or too small.
However, this village only looks ordinary from the outside.
Deathly silence, no smell of fireworks, flying flies everywhere, and blood stains everywhere...these scenes are intertwined, giving the village a strange atmosphere.
Amachi, who was standing outside the village with Ogata, said softly:
"There seems to be no one in this village..."
"...Let's go in and take a look first." Ogata responded, "See if there are any villagers inside. If there are no villagers, just search the village to see if there is anything worth taking away. By the way, look for it.
Is there a well in this village? We are short of two things right now, medicine and drinking water."
"Okay." Amachi said, tightening the wakizashi in his hand.
…
…
The two of them were each other's horns, and slowly stepped into this deadly silent and smelly village.
The air in this village was filled with a putrid smell that was suffocating.
Because the rancid smell was so strong, neither Ogata nor Omachi could tell where the source of the odor was.
"The stench is really terrible..." A-Machi tightened the black handkerchief covering his mouth and nose, "It made me vomit... Is it just my misunderstanding... Why do I feel like I'm getting worse?"
It's getting stinky..."
"...No." Ogata, who had been silent since entering the village, said softly, "It's not your imagination. It is indeed getting worse and worse. And I also discovered the reason why it is getting worse and worse.
.”
After saying that, Ogata raised his chin in front of him and Omachi.
Amachi looked forward.
I saw a person lying on his back on the muddy ground in front of the two of them.
No... to be precise, there was a corpse lying on its back.
Even though they were far apart, Ogata and Atachi could clearly see that the corpse was highly decomposed.
Countless flies danced and caroused around the corpse, and a lot of blood was splashed around the corpse.
"...Let's go." Ogata tightened the handkerchief around his face, "Let's go take a look."
"Well..." A-Machi nodded, "Let's go..."
After walking slowly to the corpse, Ogata waved his knife in the direction of the corpse to drive away the flies that were hovering around the corpse.
While Ogata was driving away the flies, Amachi leaned down and began to observe the corpse.
"... He has been dead for about 6 or 7 days." Ating said solemnly, "Look at Ayi, this man still has a sword on his waist... Is he a samurai?"
"It should be." Ogata nodded in agreement, while licking his lips toward the corpse's open right palm. "His right palm has calluses that only those who practice swords have. Judging from the size and thickness of the calluses,
It seems that this man is still a very diligent swordsman."
Amachi continued to observe the corpse.
After a while, Amachi discovered a lot of strange things about this corpse.
"Ayi, let's take a look."
Atachi pointed toward the belly of the corpse.
Ogata looked in the direction pointed by Amachi's finger.
I saw a very conspicuous scar on the abdomen of this corpse.
And this scar looks very much like...a bite mark.
Ogata looked at the body carefully several times and found bite marks like this all over the body.
"This guy has bite marks all over his body..." Ogata muttered, "Did he be attacked by some ferocious beast?"
"No..." Ating's expression became more serious, "Ayi, don't you think these bite marks look familiar?"
"Looks familiar...?" Ogata once again fixed his gaze on the bite marks on the corpse and observed it carefully.
After taking a closer look, Ogata found that the bite mark looked quite familiar as Amachi said... ?!
Ogata's pupils shrank suddenly, and then a look of horror appeared on his face.
Indeed, just like what Atachi said, the bite mark looks quite familiar...
Because all humans can make such bite marks...
Ogata, who felt a bit of chill in his heart, said in a deep voice:
"This guy...was bitten to death by a human?"
"It could also be an ape." Ating said softly, "Apes' teeth are very similar to our human teeth..."
"Are there such ferocious apes in the whole world...?" Ogata couldn't help but muttered.
"On the contrary, I hope this man was bitten to death by a ferocious ape instead of being bitten to death... If he was bitten to death by a person, it would be really terrible..."
After speaking, Amachi straightened up.
"Ayi's observation of this corpse will end here."
"This corpse is too decomposed, and the information that can be retrieved from it is too limited."
"And I can't love this smell anymore..."
"Hmm..." Ogata nodded slightly, then turned his attention to a thatched hut next to him.
"A body is just lying in the middle of the road, and no one is picking it up... It seems that no one lives in this village. Let's search every house in this village one by one to see if we can
Find something useful."
"okay."
Although the corpse at their feet had a knife on its waist, Ogata had no intention of taking away his knife.
Because the knife on this man's waist has long been covered with corpse water... For such a disgusting knife, Ogata can be said to be respectful and insensitive...
Tell the truth after dreaming
The author once smelled the smell of rotten food when he was in junior high school.
The smell is still fresh in my memory. The food was not only rotten but also infested with worms...
If rotting food stinks so much, I can’t even imagine how stinky it must be for rotting corpses...
