Chapter 2327 2339 [Subdue me...]
"Is Vermouth crazy?" Vodka stood in awe. "That ghost thing does look a bit deceptive. The little girls who don't know people well and those ignorant rich ladies might be killed by him. But Vermouth clearly knows his background. How dare she face death?"
"Well... although there are precedents such as the suspension bridge effect and Stockholm syndrome, I'm probably overthinking it."
Vodka thought about it but couldn't figure out Vermouth's motive, so he tried his best to think according to his own understanding: "Think about it carefully, she can't read my mind, so she can't know what I was thinking just now. Did she think that I was thinking about how to harm her just now, so she is hostile to me?...Yes, that should be it! After all, with Uzo around, it is normal for everyone to be wary of each other."
Thinking of this, Vodka smiled at Vermouth, trying to make her understand his good intentions and strongly hinting at the two of them being allies.
Vermouth: "..."
Why is this guy suddenly smiling so sinisterly...is this a threat?
…
The murderous aura of apple flavor suddenly became stronger.
Jiang Xia, who was feeling a little sleepy while sitting in the car, noticed this change, turned his head and glanced at Vermouth with admiration in his eyes.
Vodka, who was watching all this closely, suddenly looked suspicious: "..." You admired what that woman did, you wouldn't really...
With a creak, the bus stopped.
"!" Vodka was startled. He first looked out the window to observe the environment, and then looked forward. "What happened? A flat tire? A collapsed road? Did the driver suddenly fall ill?"
Suzuki Sonoko couldn't help but glance at him: "..." What had Mr. Yamada experienced before? Why was he so pessimistic?
"No, no." The tour guide's eyes twitched because of these outrageous speculations. He glanced at the map in his hand and explained helplessly, "Beyond is the nature reserve. The car can only drive here - I'm very sorry, everyone has to walk from now on."
…
Everyone had been getting a little impatient sitting in the car for a long time, and when they heard that they had to get off and walk, not only did they not object, but they quickly packed their luggage.
Only the strange man sitting in the corner, who seemed to be a "villa vandal", made a "tsk" sound, looking a little annoyed. But when he saw other people getting off the car one after another, he had no choice but to bear the pain from the fall, picked up his bag and followed.
Soon, everyone left the bus and followed the tour guide through the woods with fresh air towards the Sad Love Lake Resort.
"The area of the Lake Betrayal Resort is as large as that of Yokohama City," the tour guide said as we walked. "Only the accommodation area has been built so far, so that's where we'll be mainly experiencing this time."
Vodka mixed in with the crowd, looking around cautiously along the way, but he didn't find anything wrong - this was just a well-opened mountain forest travel path, not a dangerous dense forest. The road was very flat, and even the collapse and falling down like last night would not happen.
"It looks like this time the main venue is in that resort." Vodka had an idea in his mind, and felt that he had seen through Uzo's plan again. "Just like the bus didn't have any accidents on the way to pick us up, I am temporarily safe before we arrive there."
As soon as the thought came to my mind, after turning a fork in the road, the sound of rushing water suddenly became clear.
Vodka was startled, and looking up, he saw a very deep canyon in front of him. A river was rushing in the valley, and on top of the river stood an old wooden suspension bridge.
Vodka: “……?”
The man who seemed to be a villa vandal couldn't help but curse: "What a piece of crap, can people really cross this bridge?"
Vodka: “…” That’s right!
He nodded in agreement frantically in his heart, but did not dare to show disdain for Wu Zo's props. He had to lower his head and remain silent, pretending to look at the ants on the ground.
Although the others didn't say anything, they seemed to feel the same way.
The tour guide was a little embarrassed: "Before the official opening, the bridge will be renovated - I heard that there are actually several plans now, but the designers want to restore this ancient style as much as possible, so they are still adjusting."
The "new doctor" looked at the bridge, the river under the bridge, and then at Jiang Xia next to it, and finally couldn't help but say: "Why don't we take a detour?" Several ropes in the middle of the bridge were visibly broken, and without a pair of wings on his body, he really didn't dare to walk up casually.
Unfortunately, however, this proposal was rejected.
The tour guide said helplessly: "I heard from the organizer that when the resort is officially opened, four different paths will be built. But the resort is still under construction after all, and there is only this suspension bridge leading there."
At some point Toyama Kazuha and Hattori Heiji came up to Jiangxia and the others.
Hattori Heiji was fed up with the days of traveling with a big mask on his face and just wanted to go back to his room and rest as soon as possible.
Seeing a group of people hesitating, he said speechlessly: "It's just a bridge, why is there so much trouble? As long as it can be used, it's fine."
As he said that, he walked up first.
Vodka took a deep breath and looked at him silently with the eyes of a warrior.
However, unexpectedly, although the suspension bridge looked dilapidated, it was surprisingly stable when people actually walked on it - even an adult of normal weight like Hattori Heiji walked on the bridge with a dragging step, but the suspension bridge did not move at all.
The others heaved a sigh of relief when they saw this. One of the women, who was dressed like a wealthy lady, smiled and said, “I heard that some things made using ancient methods may look ordinary, but they are very durable. It seems that this bridge is one of them.”
Anyway, with the brave man trying it out, everyone finally stopped talking and stepped onto the suspension bridge under the guidance of the tour guide.
Vodka touched his chin, looking conflicted, and it was obvious that he still didn't trust the bridge.
But soon, he suddenly had an idea.
——Vodka did not escape anymore, but took the initiative to step forward and followed Jiang Xia not far behind.
“If I walk too slowly or too fast and lose touch with Uzo, there will be a huge risk of the bridge collapsing and falling into the river.” Vodka nodded in his mind, “But if I walk near him, it will be fine! At this distance, even if the suspension bridge collapses as soon as he steps onto the other side, I have the confidence to climb over the one or two meters with my bare hands!”
While he followed Jiang Xia's steps and followed the fake detective like a shadow, he couldn't help but secretly praise his own wit in his heart.
The next moment, there was a sudden clicking sound under my feet.
——The wooden board that had not been used for many years was quietly corroded and a hole appeared, and vodka stepped on it without noticing.
In an instant, a big hole appeared under his feet and his whole body sank suddenly.
Vodka: “?!”
