I Am a Light Novel Master in Japan Chapter 567
During the day, some vehicles will still pass through this forest, but at night, the entire road will be deserted, completely forgotten in the long night.
The day belongs to the living, while the night belongs to ghosts and monsters...
In the afternoon, the heavy snow stopped, and on a snowy forest road, a white van drove at a speed of 60 kilometers per hour in this desolate area.
The wheels have been specially modified so that they can drive normally in the snow. Under the dim sky, this land is plunged into darkness, and the car's headlights are the only source of light.
Staggering, Li Yan opened his eyes and woke up from his nightmare.
What was even more frightening was that after he woke up, he felt a soreness on the back of his neck and found that he was being placed at the back of the car with his hands locked behind his back by handcuffs.
"...Where is this?"
Li Yan was stunned and looked confused.
However, soon, after recalling his previous experiences, his groggy consciousness clarified everything that had happened before, and began to secretly feel that something was not good.
He was attacked by a group of people.
There were a dozen people sitting in the car, all of them seemed to be well equipped and dressed like forest hunters. There was little sound in the dark carriage.
Simply looking at the physique and aura of this group of people, Li Yan could tell that each of them was not a simple person.
Among the people in the whole car, the only youngest person was Li Yan himself.
The road covered with heavy snow was somewhat uneven, and the interior of the car seemed bumpy.
"How is that man doing now?" A middle-aged man sitting in the middle turned around and stared behind him and asked.
"...Ah, it seems that he has woken up and is quite honest. He can't say a word now."
A masked man sitting in the back row, responsible for monitoring the seat on the other side, looked at the figure with his hands cuffed in reverse, showed a cold smile, and replied.
"That's good. Have you found the other party's information?" The person continued to ask.
"I found it. This is his ID. This guy is a foreigner and an international student at the University of Tokyo. It's really amazing." Another stranger who was responsible for investigating Li Yan's packages and luggage said.
"Students from the University of Tokyo... What are these guys doing here? Are they looking for someone? How come they have guns and weapons?"
"It's just a double-barreled shotgun for hunting. Many farmers here in Aomori secretly hide shotguns."
"Yeah?"
…
Li Yan always remained silent.
He knew their identities, so he wasn't worried that they would be criminals who committed murder and prostitution.
However, at this moment, his situation should be that of a suspicious person, and being imprisoned like this, he himself was temporarily helpless.
Human enemies are sometimes more difficult to deal with than ghosts. After all, a dozen of them all wear the same double-pass shotgun as him...
Speaking of which, Li Yan was arrested purely by accident.
At this time, the middle-aged man named Inoue said: "This guy was sneaking around and shooting at a ghost on the side of the road, and he actually used live ammunition. Saoi, you can't take it lightly, watch him carefully."
"Yes." The young man monitoring Li Yan responded.
This episode is a bit long.
In the early morning of Tokyo, with Thor's help, Li Yan came to the vicinity of the forest in Aomori Prefecture to look for Eiri's residence. As a result, an unexpected and uncertain factor occurred.
When Li Yan set out, he deliberately used electronic maps and paper maps to indicate the locations of the villages found near Rishan Mountain. However, no matter how he and Thor searched, they could not find the small town Yinglili mentioned on the phone. village.
The only reason that can be explained is that the small towns and villages may be hidden in the forest.
After Thor turned into a human form, the two stepped on the thick snow of the winter country and searched in this endless snow forest.
The leaves of the maple trees are lush and green, and the snow from the leaves falls. It is such an overwhelming forest that it is difficult to see the ground clearly from the sky, and the sky cannot be seen from the ground. The trees are as dark as night, and it is difficult to distinguish the direction. What is worse is that walking on the ground is not easy, with both feet stuck in the snowdrifts. Every step my feet took seemed particularly difficult.
In the end, Thor felt that there was no other way. She suggested that Li Yan stay in a place near the road and leave the search work directly to her.
The sky was getting darker and darker, and while Li Yan was waiting, something unexpected happened.
The dusk went out, and the forest road was gradually swallowed up by darkness. Then, in the intersection of afterglow and darkness, a looming figure appeared deep in the forest...
A cold breath hit his face, and Li Yan realized that this "thing" was not a human being.
He took out a double-barreled shotgun from the package and shot at the ghost.
Real bullets cannot hurt the incoming ghost, but at this moment, there is another gunshot, and a bullet with processed salt as the core of the warhead directly hits the target, beating the ghost to pieces in an instant... …
This was the first time Li Yan had seen a bullet with this kind of characteristics.
This group of people sneaked over and rescued him, but then there were more than a dozen guns pointed at his head. Who knows whether the bullets used against humans were made of metal or salt...
Li Yan could only raise his hands, and finally fell unconscious after being hit hard on the neck.
A secret look at someone's cell phone showed that he had been unconscious for about twenty minutes.
He didn't know if Thor could find him.
"Senior Inoue, we should reach the foot of that mountain in a while, right?"
a nervous-looking man asked cautiously.
"We should be there around 11:35," said the middle-aged hunter named Inoue.
"The sun goes up the mountain."
Inoue added the name of the place, which immediately made everyone's expressions change, including Li Yan's.
Sure enough, they also came here to find someone.
He looks like an experienced private hire, looking for a person who has been hidden by the god of the mountain...
It is now 3 o'clock in the afternoon, but the signs of dusk have quietly arrived. At sunset, the afterglow of the forest shines on this green and white forest, looking particularly solemn and a little strange.
Li Yan quietly raised his head and stared at the surroundings. At this moment, the surrounding forest was dense and quiet. It was as if there was something hidden in the darkness. He had been monitoring every move of this car...
He was on the way to Rishang Mountain.
