I Created the Myth of the Old Ruler

Chapter 101

The text on it was very familiar to Lu Jian.

This is the raving that I heard when I extracted [Madman's Knowledge].

The ravings heard at that time were crazy and messy, but now it seems that they may be the speech of the missing painter.

There are also words such as the Witch Witch on the note, which roughly connects it, that is, the artist named Wan Ye saw the Witch Witch and was fascinated by her, so he couldn't help but look for her, and finally disappeared.

"So the Miko Miko really exists?"

Lu Jian is not a local, or ordinary locals don't know about Miko Miko, so he is a little curious.

"does not exist."

Hongye replied immediately.

"The shrine maidens who lose in the competition for Miko will stay at Wada Shrine and continue to work. They are also candidates themselves. If there is a problem with the Miko in office, these Miko are also eligible to inherit the position of Miko."

"You seem to know this very well."

Lu Jian glanced at the clothes, which seemed to be stained with blood, as if soaked from the inside to the outside, but the clothes were not obviously damaged.

".Because I am one of them."

Hongye hesitated for a moment before speaking.

"Are you a witch?"

Lu Jian looked up and down again. In his impression, witches are all kind of cold and dusty, wearing red and white witch costumes, holding bows and bows, and at most there is a dog next to them.

"You say 'sit down' and try?"

He couldn't help but speak.

"what?"

Hongye was taken aback for a moment, raised her eyebrows, and then said uncertainly.

"sit down."

Lu Jian remained motionless.

"Great, I'm not a dog."

He applauded happily.

".We suspect that the Wajima Shrine has been polluted, and the reports of the officials sent before may have been tampered with. Something terrible is happening on this island, so I came here."

Hongye, who had some doubts about her choice of Lu Yi, came to the picture frame covered by the black cloth, put her hand on the cloth, and seemed to be hesitating whether to open it.

"You mean, the pollution in Utashima has not been purified, but has directly eroded the witches. Isn't Utashima dangerous now?"

Lu Jian looked at the painting,

He continued talking.

"Why did you tell me this? What if I am also one of them and came here to catch you?"

"intuition."

Hongye lifted the black cloth.

A surprising painting appeared in front of Lu Jian.

Most of the colors in that painting are full of chaos, without the slightest sense of beauty. Instead, it reminds people of words such as corpses, wreckage, and flesh and blood. Mistaking it for real flesh and blood.

As for the part in the center of the picture, although the shape can be recognized, most people may prefer that they have never seen it.

It was the arrangement and combination of a living human being spread out, as if to completely subvert the concept of "human being" physically, placing different bodies in different positions, completely deconstructing every inch of human flesh and blood , Only the most anti-social and anti-human guy can draw such a picture.

Lu Jian raised his eyebrows. He knew very well that if ordinary people saw this painting, they might torture their nerves just by looking at it. For those with a little ability to bear it, it is probably a trivial matter to vomit and faint on the spot.

Momiji also averted her gaze a little and looked elsewhere.

"This is the last painting Wan Ye left in the house. I think his brain is not normal. After being polluted and corroded, he will have different degrees of insanity. Some can be calmed down by means of shrines, while others cannot. Redeem."

Seeing that Hongye covered the black cloth with red leaves, Lu Jian felt a little belatedly.

"So you want me to assist in the investigation?"

"You don't look like you came here specifically to participate in the poetry festival, but more like you have other plans, but it doesn't matter, at least now, our goals are the same."

Hongye nodded and said.

"That's true."

Lu Jian doesn't mind having one more friend, and he can help him at critical moments.

Moreover, Hongye knows more things. For Lu Jian, the more information, the higher the degree of exploration of the mission, and the more benefits.

"Then what do you need my help for? Do you have any demands? Do you have any more clues?"

Lu Jian asked.

"Although I came here with a hidden identity, please ask the informant to get these, and my own actions may have been known to the people of Utashima, but you are an outsider, and they have no reason to suspect a person from Hejima Taisha. Miko will cooperate with an outsider, and you can contact more people on the bright side."

Hongye answered simply.

"That is to say, let me contact the people of Utashima to collect clues?"

"That's right, according to the information I've collected, Wan Ye went to the restaurant, tea room, and elegant room where the guests of An Xinyuan dined before he disappeared. You can go to these places to investigate. Tonight at midnight, we can sneak into He Island shrine."

Hongye gave several locations where there might be clues.

Lu Jian and her agreed on the time and place to meet at night, and then left the room separately.

"Although it is good to have support from the beginning, there is always a subtle feeling that this Hongye may not be trustworthy."

Lu Jian murmured to himself, it was late, and he came to the restaurant.

There are not many people in the restaurant of Anxinyuan, and you can see that several tables are empty, and those poets and painters are also whispering, looking suspiciously at everyone who enters the restaurant.

Lu Jian found a table and sat down, and ordered some food casually.

Originally, he was supposed to have dinner with Masamune Tachibana and Yinping at night, but they might be going to the tavern on the island. For the sake of investigation, Lu Jian had to reluctantly eat at the official restaurant.

only.

"Ahem." "Ahem." "Ahem."

Coughing sounded one after another in the restaurant, making people feel that this is a room where the disease spread, so they couldn't help but cover their mouth and nose.

Lu Jian looked around and found that the people who were eating normally seemed to be coughing, but the two men at the next table were eating what seemed to be in the lunch box they brought, and they behaved quite normally.

They watched Lu Jian order the dishes, hesitated to speak, waited until Lu Jian's dishes were served, and saw him pick up the chopsticks before speaking.

"We advise you not to eat the food here."

"What's wrong?"

Lu Jian's chopsticks stopped halfway.

"Just, not very good, not very good."

The two dawdled for a long time without saying anything.

"You mean, the food here may be contaminated?"

Lu Jian asked the two directly in a low voice.

"Don't dare to say, dare not say."

They avoided answering.

"Do you know that someone who ate here before disappeared after that?"

Lu Jian asked again.

"You know him?"

One of them was amazed and quickly covered his mouth.

"It's okay, I won't tell other people that you told me, or, um, if you have any enemies, if it is discovered, I will say that he told me."

Lu Jian approached their table, and took two bites of their food with chopsticks.

tasty.

"."

The two looked at each other, feeling that there was something wrong with the man in front of him.

However, since they mentioned that matter, they are not going to hide it anymore.

".The missing person is called Wan Ye. In fact, many people know that he is missing, but they don't let us say that some people are also missing. There is a problem with this island."

said one of them.

"who are they?"

Lu Jian asked.

"Witch Witch."

The moment the word was uttered, the expression on the respondent's face became cloudy.

Thanks to "Eleucis" for the reward of 500 coins!
