Chapter 141, Forest
Southern Shinjuku area.
Rich shade and deep green.
Looking up, you can see the world's chimney, Mount Fuji, which is white on the upper body and gray on the lower body.
And here at the foot of Mount Fuji is our destination this time.
Here, although it is called the outskirts of Shinjuku District, it is actually part of Yamanashi Prefecture and is no longer within the jurisdiction of Tokyo.
Japan is not a big country, but this mysterious forest under Mount Fuji is famous all over the world. Over the past few decades, tens of thousands of people have committed suicide here.
It is one of the "forbidden places in the world", Aokigahara Sea of Trees.
There is also a saying about suicide forest.
In modern times, every autumn, the police hold an annual body search operation in Aokigahara Forest. This operation has been held for more than 20 years, and about 20 bodies are found every year.
This is Aokigahara Sea of Trees.
Pah pah pah——
With his soles touching the soft ground, Utsunomiya Sou held up his cell phone and continued moving forward along the pre-planned route.
It is already seven o'clock in the evening and the sun has not yet completely set.
The trees in the whole forest were so dense and lush that they blocked out the sun. The twisted trees looked like giant, wrinkled arms of ghosts. The sun could not be seen at all, and there was no way to tell the direction by the shadows of the trees or the stars.
The cell phone signal is very poor, only one bar, and it is intermittent, basically paralyzed... It is said that this is because of the magnetite hidden underground. Therefore, every year when the police search for corpses, they tie a rope around their waists, one by one, and the last one will tie the rope to the car outside the forest and wait outside to prevent anyone from entering but not leaving.
The ground is wet.
There is some black and red soil, which is black igneous rock.
As Utsunomiya went deeper and deeper, the huge Mount Fuji completely blocked the last bit of sunlight.
The surrounding environment has become completely dark, and only the outlines of the trees can be barely seen.
The ground beneath your feet is uneven, and there are many huge, twisted and strange trees around. Their huge roots spread out on the surface, intricately intertwined, and you'll easily stumble when you walk.
Huge metal warning signs can be seen everywhere in the forest, with slogans written in fluorescent pens such as "Life is precious! Please think twice before acting!" and "Think about your family!"
Zhuo is not surprised.
As early as at the entrance to the sea of trees, he saw many signs such as "Cherish your life".
He wiped the sweat from his forehead and was a little out of breath.
"Although we have tried our best to get here before dark, it seems to be useless. We won't be able to arrive for a while... What the hell?"
It was dark in front of his eyes. Just as Utsunomiya Zhuo was wiping his sweat and thinking whether he should find a place to rest before continuing on his way, his toes kicked a tree root protruding from the ground again.
His feet were tripped by roots and his upper body leaned forward due to inertia. Utsunomiya Shuo only had time to utter a sentence of origin before his whole body lost balance in an instant.
thump--
Utsunomiya Shuo lay on the ground for a while, then turned over and looked up at the dense branches above.
"That's all... take a break first."
Aokigahara Forest, located at the foot of Mount Fuji, is located on a high mountain with an altitude of over 1,500 meters, so this section of the road is completely a mountain climb.
Moreover, as the altitude increases, the air pressure decreases, the air becomes gradually thinner, and breathing becomes very uncomfortable.
This kind of hard work is so tiring.
...
...
"understand……"
"understand……"
"do not worry."
The furniture in the forest cabin was simple, with only a desk lamp, a small wooden table, and a small wooden bed.
The wooden walls are decorated with quirky decorations.
The man was wearing Hawaiian shorts and a Hawaiian vest, with the vest open, revealing his angular abdominal muscles. He held the phone in one hand and nodded and bowed repeatedly while responding to the other party. Even through the phone, one could see his respect for the man.
Seiichiro Obama doesn't want to take care of children.
But this is the task assigned by that adult.
After receiving the exact reply from Kohama Seiichiro, the person on the other end of the phone smiled and nodded, indicating that he understood, and then hung up.
"Why don't you play with me?" Kiyono Yosuke, who was wearing a black windbreaker, scratched his head in confusion, "Are you afraid that I will hold you back? I have trained seriously."
"I don't know." After hanging up the phone, Kohama Seiichiro smiled frivolously again, lifted Kanda Tomokazu by the back of his collar, and then jumped lightly onto the tree trunk, his body as light as a bird.
He was holding Kanda Tomokazu in his hand.
It was already late at night and neither the moon nor the stars could be seen in the woods.
Seiichiro Obama's golden eyes illuminate the direction of his sight, like a searchlight.
"It seems that our little friend is no longer a crying child," Kohama Seiichiro grabbed Kanda Tomokazu's collar like a kitten, and said in a joking tone: "If you continue to pretend to sleep, I will kill you."
"So fierce."
Kanda Tomokazu, who was suspended in mid-air, opened his eyes.
"I didn't lie to you." Kohama Seiichiro still smiled.
"Isn't this too harsh? He's still a child," said Kiyono Yosuke.
"Just don't think about it." Kohama Seiichiro said easily.
"As expected of you!" Qingye Yosuke nodded in appreciation, and suddenly changed the subject and asked, "Did the master tell me anything?"
Ever since learning that Kohama Seiichiro received a gift from that adult, Kiyono Yosuke has never forgotten it.
"You can ask for it yourself."
"How could the adults give it to me?"
"Then there's nothing we can do... The guests are coming soon, you should leave."
After hearing what Kohama Seiichiro said, Kiyono Yosuke couldn't hide his disappointment and then walked into the darkness without saying a word.
It was quiet outside the cabin.
Seiichiro Obama was squatting on a tree trunk with Tomokazu Kanda in his arms.
There was no one in the house.
Tomokazu Kanda felt dizzy, which might be related to the way he was being held. The blood was flowing backwards and his brain was congested, so this happened... But the back of his neck hurt, as if he had a stiff neck from sleeping.
Quiet.
"Is your friend a psychic?" Kohama Seiichiro said suddenly, staring into the darkness. "If you lie, I might accidentally kill both of you."
"Like you did before, able to jump onto the tree at any time?" Kanda Tomokazu asked back.
"I don't know, it shouldn't be..." As if he heard some noise, Kanda Tomokazu turned his head to look in a certain direction, then blinked in disbelief.
Kohama Seiichiro naturally noticed it as well and was waving in that direction.
And Kanda Tomokazu, who was held in his hand, also waved his short hands, trying to remind the person coming over there: There is no one in the room, don't be fooled, he is here.
Such information.
Utsunomiya Shuo, whose pupils were dimly illuminated by the golden light, paused and waved politely in response.
