Everyone was carrying big and small bags, after all, they couldn't leave this forest for the next three days.

These burdens were not easy for the two women.

Fortunately, there are Thunder God and Shishikou. These two people are not only strong, but also seem to like to help. After entering the forest for a while, they took the backpacks of Takahashi Uzuki and Kojima Mist.

Shizikou not only did not feel strenuous, but he was still enthusiastically talking about his experience of exploring in the Aokigahara Sea of ​​Trees in March.

From his tone and behavior, Qin Wenyu can feel that he is a positive and objective person, at least on the surface.

After walking in the forest for an hour, the speed of the seven people gradually slowed down.

At the beginning, there were still human traces around, but in the depths of the forest, the traces of human activities have been much less.

The strange thing is that there is still a bare and barren road underfoot, as if it had been trampled on for many years.

Qin Wenyu looked up.

The tree species that grow in the fast area of ​​the sea of ​​​​trees are very simple, which leads to the similar landscape in every place. In addition, in the spring, the whole forest is lush and dense, covering the sky and the sun.

According to local people, there are magnetite deposits under the sea of ​​trees in Aokigahara, which is why the compass and other navigation tools cannot be used normally.

And once the navigation tool fails, the canopy that covers the sky and the sun also makes it impossible to use the shadow of the tree, the sun or the stars to determine the direction, so getting lost is almost inevitable.

Just two hours into the forest, Takahashi Uzuki was already about to retreat.

Although she is the Eldest Young Lady, she is not a weak character.

However, she would never have been able to come to such a place in her entire life.

Takahashi Maoyue subconsciously approached Qin Wenyu. In the information she got, not only Yumuyi allowed him to trust Qin Wenyu, but Yayoi Amemiya also hinted to her that she should try to stay by Qin Wenyu's side when she was uneasy.

"Everyone, let's take a break with a drink."

Thunder God, who was walking in the front, stopped and said to everyone.

The proposal was approved by all.

Everyone has a roadmap, and although it's a little difficult to tell where to go, so far, no one has disputed it.

In other words, they have a high probability of not going wrong.

Qin Wenyu also stopped in place.

Although the sun is very strong today, under the dense foliage, the entire forest still looks dark, cold and damp.

Snake-like tree roots haunt the soil, and occasionally there is a strange chirping of birds and beasts. Even if there are no ghosts, this is not a place suitable for humans to stay.

Seeing Qin Wenyu sitting down, Takahashi Maoyue sat beside him.

Qin Wenyu glanced at her and said nothing.

He unscrewed the clean water he was carrying and took a sip.

He always felt that this journey was a little too smooth.

It's going a little out of the ordinary...

The atmosphere in the room was a little dull.

For some reason, Thunder God and Lion's Mouth, who had always been more active, also fell silent.

Perhaps, they were also tired from helping the two women with their luggage, and they didn't have as much energy to liven up the atmosphere.

After a ten-minute rest, the seven continued to go deep.

Repeating the same behavior numbs one's nerves.

Although the map is in hand, although everyone knows that there is no mistake, no one knows how long the road is.

And this sea of ​​books, the further you go in, the darker the light, and the temperature has already dropped to the point where people feel cold. In some dark corners, there will occasionally be an inexplicable feeling of being peeped, which makes people feel cold. Very uncomfortable.

The two girls took their luggage back. Although they were willing to help, they had to be conscious of it.

In addition to the sound of footsteps, the seven-person team suddenly became very quiet, and the quietness was a bit strange. There were only the sounds of the wind blowing through the leaves and the forest, and some indistinguishable insects and birds.

Originally, the seven people were led by Thunder God, and then the remaining six were cut off respectively. Just when Qin Wenyu was about to walk to the end of the team, suddenly, Thunder God who was walking in the front stopped again.

"Do you want to rest again?"

Tengu asked.

This was the first sentence he said since he entered the forest, and the male high school student with a somewhat vicious look seemed impatient.

After hearing his inquiry, Thunder God turned his head slowly, his face was pale, his lips were trembling, and he stammered: "There seems to be someone in front... in front..."

anyone?

Everyone groaned inwardly.

This road has long been far away from the "tourist road" of the Aokigahara Sea of ​​Trees. Except for those who must seek death, who would run into the undeveloped old forest for no reason?

Could that be a human...

Everyone looked forward, and as soon as Takahashi Maoyue, who was following Qin Wenyu, looked in that direction, his mind went blank, his legs softened, and he almost fell to the ground.

In the direction they are going, someone is really hiding among the trees!

Although I can't see what "he" looks like, but from the perspective of action, it is definitely human...

Or... something human.

Thunder God stepped back unconsciously, his forehead was sweating, his heart was beating wildly, and his whole body was extremely stiff.

Shishikou's eyes widened, and after checking the direction carefully, he determined that the direction ahead was where he was going, and he did not go wrong, so he shouted: "Who are you! Get out!"

The figure hidden in the crevice forest did not respond.

This made everyone breathe a sigh of relief.

They were really afraid that the lion's mouth shouted something horrible.

A gloomy wind blew through the forest, and the whole sea of ​​trees rustled.

Everyone was also a little bit awake by this gust of wind.

"Is this road the only way for us to go to Lake Yamanaka? Can we go around it?"

The slightly gloomy-looking Miss Anda asked.

"You look at your surroundings for yourself, that's the only way."

Tengu replied.

He was right, except for the Lesser Dao forest, which seemed to have been trampled on, the ground in other places was full of decaying leaves and shrubs and thorns, making it almost impossible to move.

Qin Wenyu suddenly felt that something was wrong.

He turned around immediately, his pupils shrinking.

"What about the fire man?"

Qin Wenyu's voice instantly attracted everyone's attention.

Everyone suddenly found out that the person who was walking at the end of the team just now... that hot man who was already a little perverted, has disappeared? !

The strange atmosphere of the silent forest is getting stronger and stronger, where did the fire man go?

Has he retreated and returned the same way?

Do not……

Disappearing without a sound like this is more like being given by a ghost...

At this time, Takahashi Uyuki suddenly pointed to the figure hidden in the shadows of the branches and leaves ahead, and said, "That person... seems to be the Fire Man?"

She was not sure, because she couldn't see the face of the strange figure in the darkness, but she could faintly see the shape of "his".

The group exchanged glances, and finally decided to go up and take a look.

They walked forward cautiously, came to the figure hidden in the bushes and bushes, and quickly pushed aside the branches and leaves that blocked their sight.

A bare pale arm appeared in front of everyone.

Looking forward along that arm... This person is actually covered in water stains!

It was as if he had just been fished out of the water.

And that face... is really a fire man.

He died suddenly and silently, and the corpse ran strangely in front of them...

The twisted face that seemed to be drowning to death made everyone's heart tighten.

In the end what happened?
