I'm not sure whether the reason why many people commit suicide in the sea of ​​​​Aokigahara is natural or man-made, but I am sure that this situation has been taken advantage of, and it is very likely that it was taken advantage of by people from the Ashiya family. Blood

Yu said that Ashiya Senjo once lived in seclusion in the mountains for many years. Could it be here?

I chatted with Naoki Nakayama for a while. He has lived here for more than ten years and has seen too many people come here to commit suicide, but he has not seen anything special and no one has been here recently. According to him

There is an abandoned old house deep in the woods. It was originally a holiday villa built by a wealthy businessman. Later, because too many people came here to commit suicide, no one dared to live in it and could not sell it, so it was abandoned. He didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

It looks good, so he has never been there and doesn’t know the specific location.

The old man said that he could not provide me with car repair services, but he could keep me here overnight. Why did my car really break down? So after thanking him for his kindness, he left with his extremely confused eyes.

I memorized the appearance of the area outside the shop for future teleportation, and then walked in the direction of the abandoned old house that the old man said. This is also the direction that most people who commit suicide go.

There was thick snow on the ground, but I could still tell it was a path. I didn't go far when I saw a warning sign, which was written in Japanese. From the half-digit Chinese characters and radicals, I could barely guess that it said "Cherish life, cherish life."

"No Suicide" means. In some places not covered by snow, you can see scattered cloths, mineral water bottles, and a sunhat hanging on one of the branches, probably left by the dead.

There are no paths left as we go further. The trees are huge, the sky is covered with thick shade, and ancient vines are hanging down. It is very eerie and scary. Although I am not afraid of ordinary ghosts at all, this atmosphere still affects me and makes me feel nervous and uneasy. When I get here,

I couldn't tell the direction. I took out the compass and looked at it. It was still normal. Master Zeng's compass was not affected by the geomagnetism.

I continued to walk north, and Xiaoxue didn't go far when she found a skull and a few broken bones in the snow. It looked like it was many years old, but for some reason no one took them away, and there were no other parts of the body.

bone.

"Look over there, someone really hanged himself!" Xiaoxue suddenly shouted.

I saw from Xiaoxue's field of vision that there was a person leaning on a big tree not far to the right, with his head drooped and his feet only a few feet above the ground. There was a rope hanging around his neck, and the other end of the rope was tied to the tree.

Higher up.

I walked over and took a closer look. This man was about thirty years old. He was wearing work clothes. He had not rotted because of the cold weather, but his skin had turned blue. His face was tired, haggard and a little dehydrated. He looked scary.

I feel a little cold on my back. It’s not the appearance of the dead person that scares me, but the way he hangs himself. Because his feet are very close to the ground. When he is suffocated, doesn’t he want to touch the ground with his feet? Or

Use your feet on the tree to get out of the noose? In my print

In the picture, Chinese people usually hang themselves in a very high place. Even if they regret it, they can't escape. Maybe the Japanese are particularly perseverant and can die without struggling? But with such perseverance, what else can they do?

If you can't get things done, you still want to commit suicide?

Xiaoxue said: "It is possible that he had lost his mind before committing suicide and would not feel pain."

This possibility is very high. People who are confused by ghosts or influenced by evil spirits and seek death often do not know what they are doing, or they are under the illusion that they are doing something very great and sacred, and they die without hesitation. So many

People who commit suicide come from different places. Were they affected overseas, or were they affected only when they arrived here? This is really strange.

Continuing to move forward, we saw many skeletons and corpses, as well as many relics of the dead. The strange thing is that so many people died here, but we did not encounter a ghost. The forest just seemed to have a heavier ghost...

This further confirmed my suspicion that someone took full advantage of these "resources" and captured the ghost.

"Sir, there is one thing we may have overlooked. With Hikaru Ashiya's strength, it was very difficult for Xue Li Yu to defeat him. Last time, Hikaru Ashiya was seriously injured and was chased miserably by Xue Li Yu. Now Hikaru Ashiya's injury

Maybe it's already healed, and there may be helpers. What do you think we have a chance of winning with our strength?"

I didn't ignore this, but I couldn't back down just because the enemy was strong, so I didn't think about it. As for the odds of winning, it's really hard to say. Although cultivation and spells are the main indicators, timing also affects victory or defeat.

Terrain type, environment, strategy, etc., at least I have an advantage in one thing: Hikaru Ashiya didn’t know that I flew here directly, so I could give him a surprise.

The woods were very dense, and there was snow in most places, which made it difficult to walk. Although I ran with great energy, I was not moving very fast. After walking for more than an hour, a small river appeared in front of me. It was not frozen, and the water was clear and flowing.

Hot air. When I looked upstream along the river, I really thought I was seeing something.

More than twenty meters away, a woman was sitting on the roots of a big tree by the river, with her bare feet soaked in the water. She was combing her waterfall-like hair with a comb. She was wearing a snow-white kimono so white that even the ice and snow lost its luster.

She tilted her head, with the side of her face and chin facing me. Although she didn't see her entire face, her gentle and dignified beauty made me forget to breathe.

"Ah, what a beautiful woman!" Xiaoxue exclaimed, and then added, "She must not be a human!"

I immediately came to my senses. There was absolutely no way a living person would come here in the middle of the night to comb her hair and wash her feet. Besides, she was wearing such thin clothes. If she were a human, she would have been shivering from the cold. How could she be so calm? But there was nothing obvious about her body.

The evil spirit only has a cold and refined feeling, blending into the ice and snow of the heaven and earth, very harmonious, and not like a ghost.

The woman turned her head and smiled at me. Her soft beauty was indescribable, and I almost couldn't help but step forward.

Xiaoxue appeared in a flash: "Hey, are you a human or a ghost? What are you doing here in the middle of the night?"

The beauty's expression immediately changed. Her face was still so beautiful, but her gentleness was completely gone, replaced by anger, jealousy, and resentment. She pointed at me and spoke a few words in Japanese quickly, then turned and left.

I didn't understand what she said, but I somehow understood what she meant. What she meant was: You already have another woman, why did you come to me?

I'm really confused. I'm not here to find her. Could it be that she's waiting for someone else and thinks I'm that person?

"Hey, hey, where are you going? What on earth are you?" Xiaoxue shouted, her spirit body flew across the river and chased after the woman. The woman's sleeves were fluttering, her steps were calm, and she didn't seem to be particularly fast.

Fast, but actually it flew faster than Xiaoxue. I couldn’t see it in the blink of an eye.

I hurriedly ran forward, jumped onto a stone in the middle of the river, used my strength to jump to the other side, gathered my strength and chased after her for several hundred meters. Not only did I fail to catch up with the woman, but even Xiaoxue didn't know where she had gone.

I wanted to telepathically call Xiaoxue back, but there was no response at all. I couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. In the past, even if Xiaoxue left me far away, I could still sense her and arrive as soon as I called her. I had never felt like this before.

I can't sense her today either. She couldn't have gone too far in just the blink of an eye. What danger did she encounter? Who is that stunningly beautiful woman?

I ran forward anxiously, observing and sensing the surroundings at the same time, and suddenly saw a house under a big tree. Of course, a house cannot grow under the big tree. To be precise, there are several giant trees like banyan trees, with

Countless fibrous roots, large and small, surrounded a very large house, so that the house looked like it was digging out of the soil with tree roots on top.

What a weird house!

I stopped and took a closer look. It was a two-story blue brick building. Although it was in ruins, it looked a bit like an ancient church. The door and windows were almost completely blocked by a large number of tree roots and rattan, and it was pitch black inside.

Even though I have night eyes, I can't see clearly. There is very little snow nearby, and there are thick leaves on the ground, exuding a gloomy atmosphere. The atmosphere here is higher than in other places.

This house is probably not the villa that the old man said. It was not built under the roots of trees, but over the next few decades, the roots of the big trees grew and surrounded the house. But the strange thing is that the roots did not go into the wall.

The drills all grow downwards against the wall, so the house can be so complete.

There must be something weird about this house! I began to focus on the inside and walked around the house. There was a heavy yin energy in the house, which was not dispersed. The furnishings were quite neat. From the window, there was not much garbage on the ground.

And fallen leaves, this also seems very unreasonable.

When I walked to the back door on the other side, I saw that the back door was not blocked by tree roots, and there were flashing lights inside. I was very surprised. If it was a ghost who didn't know how to use open fire, how could a living person live in such a place?

?

While I was hesitating, the lights inside moved, and there was the sound of wooden clogs hitting the ground. A Japanese beauty in ancient costume came out holding a lantern. She was another beauty, but she was completely different from the one I had seen before. This one was charming, charming, and rich.

Dressed in a flashy outfit, with many silver ornaments on her hair, she wore a tight-fitting red kimono with a cherry blossom pattern on her body. She was straight up and down, with a slender waist, and walked with a twisted waist.

I frowned secretly. They are both beautiful women, so why is there such a big difference? Moreover, this person has an obvious evil spirit and is definitely not a kind person. What I can't figure out is that if she is a ghost, how can she carry a lantern and wear wooden clogs?

The woman stopped three or four meters away from me and lightly opened her red lips: "Young Master must have lost your way. Don't be afraid. I am a good person. I will entertain you warmly and wait until daybreak before leaving."

Although her mouth was speaking, my brain directly sensed the message, and evil energy invaded, trying to control my mind.

I gathered energy to block the evil spirit, and my spiritual consciousness gathered in my eyes. My eyes opened. What kind of beauty was there in front of me? It was clearly a piece of clothing and a piece of human skin hanging on a complete skeleton.

The female ghost realized that something was wrong, she dropped the lantern and ran away with an exclamation. I picked up Yang Lei with my left hand and poked forward. The female ghost screamed and fell to the ground. The black air filled the air. When the black air dissipated, only a flat face was left.
