Chapter 50 The Trigger
When Fujikawa Kenichi died, Qin Wenyu and the others seemed to feel something, and looked in that direction inexplicably.
He was still on his way to the top of the mountain, and he was almost there, and he would reach the top of the mountain in ten minutes at most.
At this time, Tamakiichi and Takahashi Uzuki had also descended from the mountain and returned to the snow.
Uzuki Takahashi walked in front, and Kazuki Tamaki was still behind.
She looked back at him from time to time, and finally couldn't bear the question in her heart: "Yumuichi, why are we going down the mountain? Are we avoiding the ghost that is going up the mountain?"
Yuki stared at her, silent for a moment.
His meticulously combed hair was slightly disheveled by the mountain wind, but he didn't look embarrassed.
"Because I already know the rules of killing ghosts."
After Tamaki was silent, he said something astonishing.
Takahashi Uzuki opened his eyes wide and looked at him in disbelief: "Are you... serious?"
Tamaki closed his eyes and shook his head: "Miss Uzuki, I'm not a person who knows how to joke."
Takahashi Uzuki was dumbfounded. Indeed, Tamaki was quite famous in the banquet. Although he was not one of the four people in the inner circle, he already had the qualification to enter the inner circle.
One of the conditions for entering the nine positions in the innermost circle of the sacrificial banquet is to obtain six or more nine-eyed hook jade.
Yumuyi's Gouyu has already saved up to six pieces.
But he was very strange. He exchanged a nine-eyed hook jade for the past gift of the banquet to the psychic. It was a scroll, which recorded the story of the banquet.
It's fine if it's just a gift scroll from the past, but what's puzzling is that he then exchanged a nine-eyed hook jade for a ring of foresight?
That ring cannot predict the future, its only function is to know in advance who will attend the next sacrificial banquet.
It was these two things that cost him two Nine-Eyed Gouyu and made him fall out of the innermost nine seats.
However, also because of the existence of these two things, Tamaki became one of the most popular companions.
In the banquet, he was not the one who obtained the most Nine-Eyed Gouyu, but he was the one who used it most extravagantly.
The props from the psychic medium do not allow them to have superpowers to fight against ghosts, nor can they strengthen their own senses. At most, they can obtain some hidden and irrelevant off-site information. , No one knows why he exchanged these things to waste the precious Nine-Eyed Gouyu.
But while he's weird, he's not a difficult guy.
Moreover, his intelligence has long been recognized by everyone.
Although Takahashi Uzuki was amazed at what Tamaki said, but he didn't have any doubts about the sentence itself.
Because Tamaki is just like what he said himself, he is a person who doesn't take jokes.
"Because of what rules?" Takahashi Uzuki didn't notice that his question at the moment had crossed the line.
But Tamaki didn't seem to intend to hide it from her, or he took the initiative to tell this matter to tell Takahashi Uzuki this information.
"When we were in the camp before, we saw Hiroshi Okawa's body. Do you remember what was next to his body?"
Yuki asked.
Takahashi Uzuki thought about it for a while: "Wallet, key, and... amulet!"
Yes, those three things.
At that time, everyone started a discussion because of these three things.
"I remember you said that the amulet was a real amulet, and that little Chuanbo was killed by the ghost probably because he took off the amulet when he undressed."
Takahashi Uzuki explained the situation at that time very clearly.
"Well, however, I forgot one thing at the time."
Yumu looked at the camp not far ahead and said, "If removing the amulet is the rule of ghost killing, then what are we who don't have the amulet at all?"
"us?"
Takahashi Uzuki's eyes lit up, yes...
us!
The five people who came to the banquet did not have any amulet from the beginning. If this possession was a trigger, it would not be in line with common sense at all. Could it be that the ghosts could not attack them at all?
Thinking of this, Uzuki Takahashi's expression changed: "If you say that, it's very dangerous to climb the mountain now and prepare to return the amulet to Maki Suzuki, isn't it?"
"Yes."
Tamaki looked at her calmly.
His eyes made Takahashi Uzuki dodge a little, just like... her father, without any emotion, only eyes of interest.
"Then why did you climb the mountain with them just now?"
Takahashi Uzuki increasingly did not understand what this person was thinking.
Tamaki continued without any intention of concealing: "You saw that just now, that tall ghost."
"If everyone doesn't go up the mountain, it's going to linger at the bottom of the mountain."
Takahashi Uyuki's lips parted slightly: "You... are using everyone to lead ghosts up the mountain?"
"You will kill them!" Uzuki Takahashi stared at him and said angrily.
Yumu didn't change his expression, just looked at her calmly: "What does their life and death have to do with me?"
Takahashi Uzuki was disturbed by his cold-blooded remarks.
She was about to say something when she heard him say:
"As long as you live."
Takahashi Uzuki was startled, and Tamaki had already walked in front of her at some point.
Did he speak just now?
"As long as you live..."
Did he say this?
The blizzard was getting bigger and bigger, and the cold mountain wind poured into his ears, which made Takahashi Uyuki doubt the authenticity of the voice he heard.
Seeing Tamaki walking forward without looking back, Uzuki Takahashi chose to suppress the doubts in his heart.
I must have misheard...
Takahashi Uzuki quickly followed Tamaki. Although Tamaki didn't look back, he seemed to have been paying attention to her. After hearing her footsteps following her, he continued:
"The real trigger for ghosts to kill people is the key."
key?
Takahashi Uzuki frowned slightly, then slowly opened his eyes wide.
That story... what happened to those seven people at the top of the mountain last year, they accidentally found the missionary's treasure, and then found the seven keys on the top of Dong Feng Peak.
Could it be that... the real reason why Hiroshi Xiaochuan was killed was that he dropped the key? !
"What happened before, Kenichi Fujikawa saw the corpse and almost fell off the cliff, Shota Takai's cell phone inexplicably deviated from his footprints, and the 10-minute video clip was deleted. These are the hands and feet of ghosts, but they are not a complete killing. "
"It wants to lure other people to throw away the key. The person whose key leaves the body will immediately trigger a real dead end. I think that Takada Yuki who disappeared first, and who said that he was not physically strong at first, but now climbed to the top of the mountain My Miyazaki Sayuri has already been killed by ghosts and dropped her bag." Tamaki looked at the height of the snowy peak behind him.
"Sayuri Miyazaki is one of the incarnations of ghosts. People who are alone with her will be very dangerous."
After listening to Tamaki's speculation, Takahashi Uzuki suddenly asked: "What about us? If the trigger that triggers the dead end is a key, isn't it the same as an amulet for us? We didn't have a key from the beginning?"
When Yumu looked at her, a smile finally appeared on his face. This smile was different from his usual smile, it seemed a little blunt, but it was more real: "So, this is where the way of life lies."
"In the stories they told, there were two people who were still opening the treasure before the ice bridge broke, one was Asano Chinatsu and the other was Suzuki Maki. Their keys were left in Dong Feng, and the remaining keys happened to be Five." As soon as Tamaki stopped, the two had arrived at the camp, he squatted down, slowly opened the tent where Xiao Chuanhiro's body was placed, squinted and said: "This is our amulet, take this Five keys, spend three days."
Takahashi Uzuki finally sorted out the cause and effect, that is to say, people who don't have the key will become the targets of ghosts?
Her eyes fell on Yu Muyi's face, the man's appearance at the moment seemed to be his most comfortable state.
However, she found that the smile on Tamaki's face was slowly disappearing!
His narrowed eyes slowly opened.
Takahashi Uzuki hurriedly looked towards the location of Ogawa Hiroshi's body.
there is none left?
Aren't little Chuanbo's relics all in good condition before?
No...the wallet is still there, and the amulet is still there, but the bunch of keys is gone!
Someone else guessed it too!
Takahashi Uzuki looked at Tamaki in disbelief. Besides Tamaki, who else would have guessed it?
"I still underestimated you..."
As soon as Yumu stood up, he turned to look at the position on the top of the mountain, not knowing who he was talking to.
————
There are still about 30 meters to reach the peak.
Qin Wenyu squeezed his pocket, then suddenly turned around and glanced in the direction of the camp at the foot of the mountain.
No one will go for nothing, right?
Then I'm really... sorry.
