When Shibukawa Yao knocked on the door of his cousin's room with two stamp cards, the latter quickly opened the door for her.I saw that the young man looked well-dressed and there was nothing abnormal, and the cat teacher was also lying on the tatami mat with his tail curled up in a daze.

"You didn't encounter any strange things, did you?" Shibukawa Yao asked directly.

Natsume Takashi shook his head: "No."

He paused, and suddenly realized that there seemed to be some problem behind this, and quickly asked: "Could it be that cousin..."

"It's nothing serious, it's just that a little goldfish wanted to jump out of the fish tank and I released it." Shibukawa Yao casually brushed off the matter, and immediately repeated the rules of the celebration game that the village chief explained to him earlier.

"Touma, we seem to be in trouble now. If we want to go out, we can only follow the rules of the game of the locals."

"Sorry to interrupt, cousin, I feel uncomfortable when you call my name..."

"Okay, my poor and shy cousin, but I allow you to call me Mikoto-san."

"..."

The celebration of Shenjiang Village is a very old local custom celebration.

According to legend, during a period of war hundreds of years ago, there was a severe drought for many days, and seeing that the harvest was going to be bad, the local villagers could only pray hard for the coming and help of the gods.

At this time a passing god noticed their suffering, and he was willing to help, but someone had to get him the ingredients for the spell.So five brave villagers in the village took the initiative to stand up, and they walked together, and finally overcame all kinds of hardships and successfully obtained the materials for casting the spell. In the end, heavy rain fell on the dry and cracked land, and the local people got a new life.Since then, there have been good weather and good harvests here for many years.

In order to commemorate the life-saving grace of this good god and the righteous deeds of the five brave men, later generations deliberately changed the name of the village and set up a unique custom celebration.

Those who participate in the celebration must collect all five stamps, which also corresponds to the test that the five people have endured.

But there are more than five people who release the test. If the player thinks this test is too difficult, they can change to another simpler test.

——As long as you see a red cloth wrapped around the door of someone's house, or a red silk scarf tied on your arm, you can go forward and ask the other party for the test questions.

It stands to reason that the test questions of previous years' celebrations would not be too difficult, after all, it is a tourism project open to tourists from other villages.But today... For a night where a fish can become a monster, Shibukawa Yoshi thinks it is normal to have any neurological problems.

So she explained everything to the other party and Teacher Mao, and told them solemnly: "Cousin, remember, your task tonight is to protect yourself, and don't get separated from Teacher Mao. Set Poke this matter to me, and I will definitely get enough before the celebration ends."

Hearing this, the brown-haired boy couldn't help frowning deeply. Shibukawa Yoshi knew that he wanted to object, but he held his hand and looked directly into the young man's clear eyes.

"Cousin, I made a promise to my uncle and aunt before I went out that I would bring you home safe and sound—you don't want my sister and I to be a broken word, do you?"

"Of course I don't want that... But cousin, I can help you! Teacher Kitty and I can help!" Natsume said eagerly, "I can't let you, cousin, face those potentially dangerous things alone! "

【"Don't be afraid, we won't let you face death alone..."】

In a trance, it seemed that the voice of a strange man sounded low in her mind.

However, when Yao Shibukawa blinked her eyes, all the auditory hallucinations disappeared again, and she didn't even have time to distinguish the complex emotions behind these words.

Now the girl could only temporarily refocus on Natsume Takashi, she looked at the other person's clear but firm eyes, and finally nodded reluctantly.

"Actually, those things are nothing to me...but since you said so, cousin, so be it."

"It's around 8:15 p.m., and the end of the celebration is the moment the sun rises the next day. If I haven't collected five stamps in the two hours before that, I will ask my cousin to help you with the rest of the work." gone."

"Well! I understand!" Although Natsume Takashi was unwilling, he also knew that this was her biggest concession. He picked up the three-flowered cat who was watching the show with squinted eyes, and nodded to her, "Come on—— —Miss Meiqin!"

Shibukawa Yao couldn't hold back his serious expression for a moment: "...Poof."

"What, so you think this is funny too." The boy couldn't help but also laughed.

However, the girl just smiled and shook her head, got up and patted his shoulder, and ran to the door, "Protect yourself."

Back on the most lively and bustling main road in the village, everything seems to be no different from the usual celebrations in Japanese villages. There are activities and snacks that should be held and sold.However, Shibukawa Yao didn't care about this at all. She looked around for a while, and soon saw a wooden door that was hidden behind the crowd, and a red cloth was hanging squarely above the door.

Two villagers came out shaking their heads and sighing, holding a card that was exactly the same as the stamp card she got earlier.

Ah, found it.

The girl pulled up the large black hood, letting the shadow cover most of her face, and then walked behind the door.

Behind the door is a traditional Japanese-style courtyard, but it is very unsuitable to place a wooden table and two chairs at the position of entering the door, and a young woman with a clean appearance is sitting on one of the chairs When she came in, she casually put the flip phone she was playing on the table.

Shibukawa Yao, who was originally full of confidence, stared at this person and suddenly couldn't say a word - because the person who made the question was wearing a police uniform.

I... what is this?Throw yourself into a trap?

"Oh, is it a new challenger? Come on, please sit down."

"..." Shibukawa Yao, who didn't want to answer this question at all, turned his face slightly and wanted to leave, but heard the wooden door behind him automatically shut with a "bang", which obviously meant that he was not allowed to leave without playing the game.

She had no choice but to walk to the empty chair and ask, "What's your name?"

"Maeno Hehui, a local, originally planned to go back to his hometown to help maintain law and order during the celebration, but who would have thought that it would be my turn to be the questioner in the lottery this year." The female police officer explained with some embarrassment, "Are you scared by my overalls? Don't worry, I'm not working now. After all, I came back in a hurry this time, and I didn't bring much casual clothes."

"No, how could I be frightened." Yoshikawa secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and sat down without changing his expression, "I didn't do anything illegal."

Maeno stared at her inexplicably for a few seconds, and reached out to pick up the white note on the table that had been written in advance and was a little crumpled because it had been picked up by many people.

"This is the subject of the test."

Shibukawa Yao looked intently, and the title came into view.

[Scene assumption: You are a prisoner who is about to be escorted by a local policeman to the train station in Linzhen.However, an unexpected accident happened on the road...]

"boom!"

Yoshi Shibukawa, who was suddenly thrown into an unfamiliar seat, looked around in shock. The original Japanese-style courtyard disappeared, replaced by a depressing and spacious prison car.Seemingly unintentionally, she raised her hand and pressed her neck. Not only did she find that she was wearing a striped prison uniform and handcuffs, but Seimei, who was supposed to be lying on her shoulder, had also disappeared without a trace.

Suddenly Shibukawa Yao felt that the nerves in the neck seemed to be pressed by a warm little hand, and a slight cool feeling was transmitted to the brain center in an instant.

So that's the case... Was her consciousness drawn into this hallucination game...

Qingming, wait a while before doing anything, she wants to see what the questioner wants to do.

"Hey! Are you awake! Help me when you wake up!"

Maeno Hehui's voice came from the front of the car. She looked up and found the anxious face of the female police officer on the other side of the palm-sized fence.

But Shibukawa Yao raised his hands rascally: "I'm in handcuffs, how can I help you?"

Qianye spoke very fast, as if a real policeman treated a prisoner with a stern face: "I know what you are going to do, but I tell you clearly, I can't open it for you - because it is my duty to escort you. But if you If you don’t want to die in this car, hurry up and help me!”

After all, the small door of the partition wall in the carriage was opened by the other party.

Shibukawa Yo: ...

Damn, you don't handcuff criminals, but you can open the door?

Okay, okay.

And do you know the former field police officer, you have already done what all the policemen and professional heroes outside have not been able to do at present-that is, successfully arrested her.

She shrugged, lifted the heavy handcuffs and anklets, bent over and climbed sideways through the small door, and squeezed into the front passenger seat of the prison car.

At this time, the rain was slapping on the window glass crazily, and droplets of water gathered and flowed on the windshield, making the two people in the car hardly able to see the road in front of them clearly.

However, after barely seeing the surrounding crisis clearly, Shibukawa Yao couldn't help showing surprise.

——The rear-view mirror with the rain showed a gorgeous and mighty chariot and a warrior in black heavy armor on the road behind, chasing their car at a gallop!

The heavy rain poured down at night, and clouds of white smoke visible to the naked eye rose from the armored horse.Its eyes shot two golden lights forward like spotlights for illumination—as for the ancient chariot that looked very unscientific, it had already run at a speed of at least 100Km/h!It's already over the speed limit on this mountain road!

At this time, Qianye Hehui looked at her anxiously and nervously: "Aren't you the top three old drivers on Qiuming Mountain? If this car is handed over to you, is there any way to get rid of that ghost thing behind!"

Wow, the identity of this prisoner is quite unique, making her seem like a real old driver... It seems that this is the real subject of this test.

"There is a way." Shibukawa Yao said calmly, "Let's change positions and let the police officer see the real skills of the old driver Akinayama."
