It didn't take long for Kitakawa Temple to find a road hidden among the weeds.

This road seems to have been a long time since no one has stepped on it. It shows a sense of desolation in the various weeds and thorns that are intertwined with yellow and green.

This should be a small path from the divine village to the outside world at that time.

As for whether there are other roads, Kitakawaji is not clear.

In the morning, some hot air floated up, and the cold air turned into water droplets when it encountered heat, making this path leading to the outside world that was once a divine village was extremely muddy. The hiking boots that Kitakawa Temple specially changed into were covered with yellow mud, and it was useless when it was pulled out.

Kitakawaji lifted his feet, recording the route, and continued to grop forward while holding a wooden stick.

At such a slow progress, it took Kitakawaji nearly three hours to arrive at the outer area of ​​Shenzhu Village.

Kitakawaji stopped and looked around.

He is now standing on the road in the middle of the ridge of the field. After nine years, the road has grown scattered grass everywhere.

The fields on both sides were deserted because they had not been taken care of for too long. The river in Shenzhuchuan was still flowing quietly, flowing downstream from the right hand of the Kitakawa Temple. From his perspective, you can still see that the waterwheel that had fallen and had many leaves fell off was still squeaking and rotating.

Kitakawaji thought that with a gentle touch, the water windmill that had been almost rotten would fall down.

He threw down the wooden stick and walked along the road towards the village.

Two small canals were deliberately dug in the village, and the water from Shenzhuchuan poured into the ridges of various fields. Looking at it this way, it was quite a bit Japanese pastoral style.

However, some waterways in the middle have not been cleaned for a long time and have been blocked by silt.

Beichuan Temple walks all the way to the village.

Gradually, the vision became narrower, and various ancient Hefeng wooden buildings also came into view.

"I remember it was already 2009 that the mudslide in Shenzhu Village had been in trouble? Why don't you choose more convenient building materials such as concrete steel bars, but instead use wood instead of retro materials?"

Most of the villages in the Divine Village are composed of red and white walls, tile roofs and wooden frames.

If he said that Kitakawaji was walking in the villages during the Taisho period, he could still understand it, but the divine village remained in 2009 before being attacked by mudslides and eventually turned into a "ghost village".

"But why?" Kitakawaji walked to a resident.

The entrance hall was covered with grass. Beichuan Temple walked inside and you could even see the furniture and beds placed in the room.

No one touched the things in the room, and everything was left as it was except for the falling dust and the full spider web.

The government did not come to clean up the villages of God.

The most important thing is, what about mudslides?

When Beichuan Temple just climbed up to see the distance, there was no trace of mudslide alluvial flow. The villagers in the entire village seemed to have evaporated out of thin air.

Mysteries came one by one, and all signs showed that people seemed to have really forgotten this village.

Kitakawaji covered his nose and went out.

There was a strange smell in the room, which should be the smell of mold and wood decay. Too much inhalation is not a good thing for the body.

and

This place should be an ordinary resident's house, it doesn't look like the gods or the Mamiyamoto family at all.

The purpose of Kitakawaji came here is to explore the secrets of the past between the Magong family and the God's stale family.

"Since they are the two most prestigious families in this village, they should be there."

When Beichuan Temple goes out, he looks up.

In the middle of the street is facing a three-story building with a flat ground.

The building is surrounded by one-story and two-story Hi-Tech houses and stands quietly.

The three-story Heshi Building building is down, and half of the wall has collapsed. From here, you can even see the dilapidated scene in the courtyard.

"Can the God's family and the Mamiya family share the same mansion?" Kitagawaji murmured to himself.

He was about to take a step, but suddenly his expression moved and turned to look around.

people

Countless gray-faced villagers stood on both sides of him at some point.

Everyone had a silent expression on their faces, only the white eyes were left looking at the divine house in front of them.

And Kitakawa Temple just happened to be among the crowd.

The moment these "people" came out, Kitakawaji felt his body stiffen, and then his death energy flowed, which was considered to be free from the constraints.

"Is this a afterimage?" Kitagawaji's eyes widened.

The afterimage of hundreds of people!!!

Such a huge scale and such a strong longing, even he was affected in an instant!

No wonder Hidesuke Hirasaka and Chitose Watanabe were involuntarily following these afterimages.

Kitakawa Temple made a quick decision and took two steps back.

He slowly lifted his phone

A click.

He took the photo decisively.

The afterimage of the spirit body in the photo is clearly visible, and the horror of longing condensed into a physical body can even make the mobile phone image.

The ‘villages’ did not show any expressions about the behavior of taking pictures in Beichuan Temple, but just walked forward silently.

This is of course. The afterimage is just a phenomenon caused by the condensation of people's longing at that time.

Under the eyes of Kitakawaji Temple, every afterimage disappeared like spring and white snow when it was about to step into the divine house.

The next moment, the system's cold prompt sounded:

The curse binding mission "Soul Flower" begins.

‘System prompt: You find that the information you have worked hard to investigate is just the tip of the unpleasant iceberg of the history of the God-stationed village. Workers treated as "people's pillars" hide in the darkness. A savage and bloody ritual, unknown past, and maintaining the same village. All of this makes you shudder.’

'But you are now deeply trapped in it. The curse has unknowingly penetrated your bones as you keep investigating. Only by uncovering everything hidden in the past can you escape.'

‘The conditions for completing missions: investigate the truth about the gods’ village.’

‘Task completion reward: Soul-Starting Flower.’

"Binding mission?" This was the first time Kitakawaji heard such a noun, and he subconsciously swept the text description above.

Just a divine village involves so many tasks.

One task is the "curse" task on Magong Hitomi, and another task is the current "Soul-Inspired Flower".

Kitakawaji put away his cell phone, took off all the cold and hiking boots on his body, and changed into sports shoes and clothes that were easy to move.

He slowly walked towards the towering three-story red wall and wind building, and gradually a touch of indescribable coldness rose on his body.

Intuition tells Kitakawaji that even if this building does not belong to the Magong family or the God's garrison family, it definitely hides some secrets of the past.
