Inverted……

Qin Wenyu stared at the lightning bolt that appeared in the sky.

The appearance of this flash completely violated the laws of nature.

The speed of light is far greater than the speed of sound, which is common knowledge even children know today.

However……

In the sky of this forest, thunder appeared first, followed by lightning.

Why is this happening?

The only people who noticed this were Qin Wenyu and Tiangu.

Although the other three felt something strange, they couldn't remember it for a while.

Like this kind of thing, the brain only retains instant memory, if no abnormality is found at that time, it is basically impossible to recall it later.

However, even if they found something wrong, the two of them had no clue as to what this phenomenon represented.

On the other side, Takahashi Uzuki also stopped.

The wind was blowing in the forest, and it seemed that it was about to rain.

This kind of environment, even if there are no ghosts, is already scary enough.

But Takahashi Uzuki's expression is still calm, she has experienced a lot of curses, although fear is unaccustomed, but she will not let her make stupid actions again.

The ghost didn't come her way, what should do now?

————

After the lightning, Thunder God's face became even paler.

Although his mask is Thunder God, he doesn't like thunderstorms, especially in this kind of forest.

The temperature at night was already low, and the rain would only make their situation more difficult.

And...the leg.

The thunderbolt just now shattered the courage he had finally mustered up.

Now looking at the left foot caught in the trap, he let go of the hacksaw feebly.

How to do……

He didn't want to die or become disabled.

However, as time goes by little by little, if he does not get rid of his current predicament as soon as possible, he will really die in this place.

damn...

Why on earth does this have a trap?

Thunder God gritted his teeth in hatred.

At this moment, he suddenly froze.

His eyes changed from despair and resentment to doubt and fear.

Do not……

wrong……

This animal trap looks familiar...

Thunder God stared blankly at the trap that clamped his left ankle, and a memory that he had almost forgotten came back to his mind.

"Do not……"

"impossible……"

Thunder God shook his head, darkness deeper than night welling up in his heart.

A pair of terrifying eyes seemed to be staring at him somewhere.

why……

Why is this happening?

With trembling hands, Thunder God reached for the trap that held his left ankle.

It's sandwiched so deep...

Not only was his flesh and blood smashed, it was even stuck in his bones.

And in this bloody wound, Thunder God vaguely saw a face...

An old and familiar face.

He thought he had completely forgotten this face, but at this moment...

The Thunder God discovered to his despair that he hadn't forgotten.

The old face that had appeared from the wound on his ankle gradually grew larger, and the resentment and despair in the eyes made Thunder God's hair tingle.

This person is... Grandpa Kurokawa.

He's not Thunder God's real grandfather, but...

The unforgivable sin committed by the Thunder God in his childhood.

He lived in the countryside of Nagano Prefecture until he was ten years old.

There are several children in the village who are similar to him, because he is the tallest and strongest, and he has become the king of children of course.

At that time, he was not as helpful as he is now, and children's playfulness was the greatest time.

In the countryside, the small group of their children made many people devastated, but because they were all trivial matters, they couldn't do anything to them.

Until one time, they secretly plucked Kurokawa's radish and went to the river to cook and eat it.

Kurokawa wouldn't be so angry if they just ate a few radishes, but they pulled out all the radishes and took only a few, and threw the rest in the ground.

Until now, he didn't know Kurokawa's full name, he only remembered the old man who had no family standing in the ground, staring blankly at the fresh radishes for a long time.

When he returned that night, he was beaten.

He wasn't the only one being beaten, and Kurokawa seemed to have called everyone's home and complained to their parents.

The next day, this group of dissatisfied children gathered together, ready to teach Kurokawa a lesson.

One of the children said that the grandfather in the family used to be a hunter and had a very powerful animal trap to use.

Immediately, his eyes lit up, that thing was just fine to use.

"I know Kurokawa goes to a place every evening, leave it to me! He'll be fooled!" he said in his childhood.

The great task of revenge on Kurokawa fell upon him as he wished.

In the afternoon, he ran to a small soil slope outside the woods in the back mountain, and finally used a wrench to break apart the trap and install it, hiding it in the weeds in front of the soil slope.

Then, he secretly hid in the woods, waiting for Kurokawa to arrive.

When it was getting dark, Kurokawa really appeared.

He took the offering and walked staggeringly under the afterglow of the setting sun.

Looking at the lonely Thunder God, he suddenly felt like he had done something wrong.

Just then, a painful cry gave him goosebumps all over.

He followed the voice and saw that Hei Chuan had fallen to the ground, the trap was stepped on, and the sharp steel teeth bit the old man's calf, bleeding profusely, and bones were visible.

He was stunned.

He just wanted to teach Kurokawa a lesson, but he didn't expect... the power of this trap is so great.

If my family finds out, they will definitely kill me...

Anxiety, panic, fear, all kinds of complex emotions intertwined, prompting him to make a move that he regrets to this day.

He escaped.

Kurokawa's pained groans were behind him, but instead of saving him or helping him, he ran away...

After returning home, he was always uneasy, and at his strong request, he left the country and went to live with his grandmother in the city.

When went back again, it was already a month later.

When he saw Kurokawa's house, he couldn't help but be stunned: "Why are so many weeds growing in Kurokawa's house?"

"Don't you know? Kurokawa is dead, and no one lives in that place now." The little friend replied.

A wave of fear came over him.

"How did Kurokawa die?" he asked in a hurried tone.

"I don't know. I heard from the adults. It seems that he went to the back mountain to dig wild vegetables and accidentally broke his leg. Because no one found him, he starved to death like that."

The voice of the little friend hovered in his mind like a spell.

Dig wild vegetables?

Broken leg?

Do not……

He knows it's not...

Kurokawa went to the back mountain to offer sacrifices to his dead relatives, and then stepped on the animal trap he arranged. The place was very remote, and there were no fields around. Except for Kurokawa, no one would go there on weekdays...

Could it be that……

Did Kurokawa stay there until he starved to death after being caught in the beast's legs?

The more he thought about it, the more fearful he became, the more he thought... the more his body trembled.

I...killed...

I killed someone!

The fear and secrets gushing out from the depths of his heart made Thunder God tremble all over.

He stared blankly at Kurokawa's face that had grown from the wound on his ankle, and could no longer tell whether it was reality...or illusory.

This animal trap... is clearly the one he used to get revenge on Kurokawa back then...

But now it's on his feet.

"Boom—"

Another burst of thunder.

Then, a bolt of lightning that was several times brighter than before suddenly appeared in the sky above Thunder God's head.

The surroundings suddenly turned white.

All dark places are illuminated.

Thunder God's face was pale, and he stared blankly ahead.

The cold breath was only about half a meter away from him.

And what appeared in front of him was...

Has been twisted into a python-like... fire man.

A terrifying giant mouth full of fangs opened in front of him, and a familiar old man's head was embedded in the throat of this mouth, with the most resentful and vicious eyes...

At the moment when the disgusting stench came.

Thunder God suddenly shuddered.

Before his consciousness completely disappeared, he finally understood what was wrong.

But... he has no chance to convey the news.

Horrible chewing sounds resounded in the thundering forest.

The sky was as black as a bottomless dark lake, reflecting the entire forest.

A bloodstained trap fell to the ground, in a closed state.

Now...it can't clamp anything anymore.
