Chapter 2101 2109 [Endurance Competition] Ask for monthly votes o(〃'▽'〃)o
After realizing this, Hashimoto Maya immediately stopped running.
——If he was the only one here, he could still use the excuse of "no clues found, no way to save people" to retreat strategically.
But now Curacao has seen him. If this woman were to make a shameless denunciation to Uzo...
"I'm just an enthusiastic detective assistant. When I encounter something like this, of course I have to run to save people without hesitation..." Hashimoto Maya took a deep breath and tried to hypnotize herself. "The hot air balloon looked so dangerous not long ago, but it turned out to be fine in the end. It's not a big problem! Even if Uzo wanted to kill me, he would definitely not use such an unskilled method."
Thinking of this, Hashimoto Maya gritted her teeth and followed into the cave that looked suspicious no matter how she looked at it.
…
In the evening, everyone failed to find Xun Zhengwan, so they went back to Xun's house to eat and rest.
As a result, when the servant put the small table away, a problem arose - two seats were empty. Not only was Tatsumi Seimaru not found, but Hashimoto Maya and the "Lawyer Shirai" were also missing.
When Shancuncao heard the unfortunate news, he was overwhelmed and ran to the police officer and said, "Go and look for them quickly! Oh, and ask other villagers. These two are strangers, maybe they just got lost."
However, every household was asked, but there were no clues.
When Dr. Fuyuki heard the news, he rushed over with a lantern in hand: "Two more people are missing?"
Jiang Xia nodded.
Mrs. Xun's face turned unusually pale. "Could it be that he was possessed by the 'Cursed Warrior'... This is all my fault. If I hadn't asked you to come and help, none of this would have happened."
When Yamamura Cao heard the word "cursed warrior", his face turned paler than hers.
Although Inspector Yamamura is a policeman, he has listened to various strange stories told by his grandmother since he was a child, so he is not a firm materialist at all.
"The threatening letter sent to the new head of the family was signed 'Cursed Samurai', and before Akana died in the secret room he was shouting 'Cursed Samurai' and wanted to kill him... You guys keep saying 'Cursed Samurai' and 'Cursed Samurai' every day, what the hell is this?"
Shancuncao lowered his voice and looked at the two people in front of him who obviously knew a lot: "Hurry up and tell me everything you know, otherwise it will be considered as obstructing the investigation - don't forget, there are two innocent passers-by who are missing because of this ghost thing!"
...Of course, whether to investigate or not will be put aside for now.
The main thing is that if the "cursed warrior" is really powerful, then he can write down the situation and ask for more manpower - sending more than a hundred people, with enough weapons, to cover this haunted village with firepower, which should be reasonable.
I don’t know whether it was the disappearance of two innocent passers-by that caught Dr. Fuyuki’s attention, or whether he vaguely sensed the crisis because of the thoughts of a crazy police inspector.
In the end, Dr. Fuyuki relented: "Well, actually everyone in the village knows about this, so it's okay to tell you."
He thought for a moment and organized his words: "That happened four hundred years ago during the Battle of Sekigahara. At that time, a defeated general fled to this village with dozens of his bodyguards. That general was called Hiiragi Kaneharu.
“The general sent an envoy to the village, hoping that the village would take him in. The village chief agreed and let them into the cave for a detailed discussion.
"However, when the generals left, the villagers rushed out and killed them, hoping to show their loyalty to Tokugawa Ieyasu with their lives.
"The general and his subordinates all died in the village. Before his death, the general cursed the village. He said that he would turn into a vengeful spirit and live here forever, cursing all the people who participated in the robbery and their descendants..."
…
While Dr. Fuyuki was telling this ordinary yet bloody story to a few strangers.
On the other side, in a cave near the shrine.
A man wearing brightly colored armor and covering his head with a "Cursed Warrior" helmet was sitting upright on a chair in the cave.
He looked down at the two captives he had knocked unconscious on the ground, waiting leisurely for them to wake up.
But one hour, two hours, three hours...
It has been almost ten hours since the two men were captured, and the two men on the ground are still motionless.
Cursed Warrior: “…” Dead?
He had to check the two men's pulses once more, and when he found they were still alive, he turned back to his original position, posing wearily and waiting for the two men to wake up.
The moment he turned his back, the two people on the ground opened their eyes at the same time, looked at each other, and closed them silently again.
Hashimoto Maya: "..." This woman is too patient. Isn't it uncomfortable to lie on the ground? Hurry up and "wake up" to find out what the cursed warrior wants to do! Otherwise, the ground in the cave is so cold that she will get cold legs if she continues to waste time.
Curacao obviously had the same idea, wanting the other party to wake up and advance the stage progress, so that he could become a less dangerous marginal person.
However, she also didn't expect that Hashimoto Maya would be so patient.
However, cadres are cadres, and their ability to take action is unmatched by ordinary people.
When the cursed warrior turned his back to this side, she suddenly raised her leg and kicked Hashimoto Maya.
With a thud, Hashimoto Maya was caught off guard and was kicked from lying on her side to lying on her front.
The noise made the cursed warrior turn his head and look over with great surprise.
Hashimoto Maya: “…”
It was obviously too late to lie back in the original position. After all, they had just stared at each other for more than ten hours, and the cursed warrior must have counted every hair on their head.
What's worse is that he was suddenly kicked just now and instinctively opened his eyes to defend himself. The moment his eyes opened, he came face to face with the cursed warrior.
If I pretend to sleepwalk now, I'm afraid no one will believe me.
Sooner or later, the process would have to be pushed forward. Hashimoto Maya had no choice but to grit her teeth, pretend to have just woken up, and sat up from the ground in a daze.
The cursed warrior let out a long laugh, his voice was sinister and eerie, hiding a hint of surprise that they had finally woken up.
He moved his stiff body and said in a booming voice, "I have something for you to see."
Hashimoto Maya: “…” Just talk, and even use some ancient words. You don’t think that others will treat you as a ghost by doing this, do you?
But now that he said that, I'm a little curious.
Maya Hashimoto's eyes moved and fell on what the cursed warrior wanted them to see.
——The cursed warrior was sitting on the seat at the innermost part of the cave. Two candles were lit on his left and right. There was a small table between the candles, and on the table was a pink package.
Seeing Hashimoto Maya looking at the conspicuous pink bag, the cursed warrior laughed grimly twice and raised his hand to untie the laces.
