Chapter 125 – Episode 16. 7CH Ghost Story Flood Damage and Buddha’s Attainment
Kiyohira’s GPS signal was quite far away. Looking at the GPS signal on my smartphone, Kiyohira seemed to be almost in the deepest part of the forest, about halfway through the forest. I don’t know why I went all the way there. You know I have an appointment today.
“It’s here.”
“Wow, do we have to go all the way there?”
When I showed him the smartphone, Kazuhiro spoke with a slightly annoyed expression. Still, he suddenly changed his expression and was taking pictures of scenes in the forest with excitement. The scene of a narrow forest path that was not maintained at all and the sunlight being blocked by trees towering high in the sky had an eerie and mysterious feeling. Above all, it felt refreshing to breathe the clean air of the forest after breathing in polluted air while living in the city.
“I have to authenticate this too~!”
I chuckled at Kazuhiro and followed the forest path while looking at the GPS signal. As you follow the forest path, you come to a split path.
“Brother, where should we go? Oh, should I ask on Channel 7’s bulletin board?”
“You can ask something on the bulletin board and look at the GPS.”
As I scolded Kazuhiro, I looked at the GPS signal and found that I was in the middle of a divided road, so it was unclear which way to take. Kazuhiro looked at the GPS signal on his smartphone next to me and started writing down the situation on Channel 7 with an annoyed smile. Among the people who comment on the bulletin board, there may be someone who knows the way, so it wouldn’t be a bad idea to post it.
115 KZHRSMITH: Photo
116 KZHRSMITH: I’m following the GPS, but the fork in the road is vague. Where should I go? Right? Left?
117 Anonymous: It’s not as scary as you think, huh? It’s just a dense forest. Anyway, the air is really nice.
118 Psychic Hunter: 117 seems to have no inspiration at all. It’s been a while since I’ve seen a photo ooze such malice… In my opinion, there is no safe way. The only way to survive is to go back.
119 Verdi Fan: My head has been hurting a lot since the parking lot photo earlier. Is this a problem?
120 Anonymous: It would be better to go to the right as there is more sunlight. The left side is too dark and scary.
121 Shot-chan: I’m on the right too! The left side feels bad.
122 Anonymous: I think the left side would be better for me?
123 Mr. Kenji: 122 This guy seems to be the worst!
124 Anonymous: Wouldn’t it be better to go a little bit on both roads and go to the one where the GPS is closer?
After reading the comments under Kazuhiro’s post, what anonymous number 124 said seemed reasonable and reasonable.
“Let’s do what number 124 says.”
“I’m sure it is. “Rather than choosing any path, it would be better to try both little by little and take the path that gets closer.”
First, I took the right path preferred by the rest. The path on the right seemed to be a path out of the forest, and it was getting further and further away from the GPS signal. We walked a little bit, then stopped and turned back.
“Let’s go back.”
As I took the darker left path, fortunately, I got closer and closer to the GPS signal where Kiyohira was located. At this rate, I thought I could probably get there in 30 minutes at a normal pace. We went deeper and deeper.
“Brother, is it getting darker?
“It’s not even 3 o’clock yet. “Maybe it’s because the trees have become more dense.”
“Is it?”
Certainly, the deeper we went, the darker the forest became. As we went a little further in, the atmosphere became more gloomy as crows flew through the sky, making caws. If I had no ability, it was a path I never wanted to take.
“Brother, over there!!”
Suddenly Kazuhiro opened his eyes wide and pointed to a place. What? When I looked at the direction Kazuhiro pointed, I saw a whitish white figure looking at us through the thick trees. She was a pale, naked female ghost. By the way, I think you have a nice body? At that moment, her hair stood up and gave me an eerie feeling.
I lifted up the abyss. The eerie feeling disappeared as the power of the unknown ghost was repelled by the power of the abyss. Along with that, the ghost’s appearance also disappeared. I slapped Kazuhiro, who was shaking, on the cheek to make him come to his senses.
Slap!!
“Huh? “It’s gone!”
“First of all, let’s not look at the surroundings, just look at the road and follow it.”
We hurriedly continued walking, only looking at the GPS signal and the road. Perhaps because I walked at a fairly fast pace, the estimated distance of 30 minutes became closer to the GPS signal after about 15 minutes.
When we went to where Kiyohira’s GPS was located, there was a huge tree. A rope was hanging from a large branch of the tree, and a man with gray hair was swinging under the rope.
“Genbaki!!”
Kazuhiro called Kiyohira’s nickname and ran towards the corpse hanging from the branch of a large tree. I was shocked and ran over to see the corpse, which seemed to have been dead for some time and was being eaten by bugs here and there, and it had a terrible smell.
Looking closely, I saw that only her hair was white like Kiyohira’s, and it wasn’t Kiyohira’s at all. When I looked closely, I saw that although it was very damaged, it was a gray-haired man past middle age.
Without even looking closely, Kazuhiro said Genbakii!! I was crying. You idiot. I slapped Kazuhiro again.
“Huh? What’s the matter?”
“Look closely. “It’s not Kiyohira.”
“Uh, what? “Isn’t it true?”
Kazuhiro had been unable to come to his senses since seeing the ghost earlier. But why is Kiyohira’s GPS signal here?
I looked around the body. There was a prayer beads hanging on a branch near the body. Kiyohira is a Buddhist, so it seemed like he hung the prayer beads to pray for the soul of this dead body. There was also a GPS watch that I had given as a gift hanging on a branch next to it. When I checked, there was a watch and a note together.
There is a suspicious shrine 4km north. I think it’s a cult. See you there.
It seemed like they had hung it up with a GPS watch to make people see this note. You idiot, you surprised me by putting a GPS next to the corpse. If I meet him like Kazuhiro said, I’ll have to beat him up. And if you didn’t leave a note and wore a watch, we would have found it ourselves, so why did you hang it next to the body? Are you really asking me to collect the body?
I showed the note to Kazuhiro, prayed for the body to rest in peace, and contacted the police to report that the body had been found in the forest. However, the police only said that they understood and hung up the phone. Without even asking where the body was.
We cursed at the police and set off for the place Kiyohira had mentioned called the Northern Shrine. Kazuhiro was cleverly posting about his experience of seeing a corpse while walking on a bumpy road on Channel 7. Then he said, “Brother, I have some information here,” And handed the phone over to me.
198 KZHRSMITH: I just saw a dead body. It appears that he committed suicide by hanging himself from a very large tree. I thought it was my friend and cried. But it wasn’t.
199 Anonymous message: Please verify.
200 KZHRSMITH: We don’t certify that. First, I have to go where my friend is.
201 Psychic Hunter: I feel strange. Has anything strange happened before?
202 KZHRSMITH: I saw something that looked like a ghost, but my friend who came with me slapped me and I came to my senses. If it weren’t for this guy, I might have gone crazy…
203 Psychic Hunter: Your friend seems to have strong yang energy. Rely on that friend.
204 Anonymous: Then where is your friend?
205 Anonymous: Are you a martial arts player? Aren’t you fighting a ghost? Wwwww
206 Verdi Fan: Hey hey! This is no laughing matter! If you find a body, shouldn’t you report it to the police?
207 Anonymous: It’s already been 5 years since the police let go of Aokigahara. There must be at least 1000 bodies? I saw an article come out every year saying that even if you report it, it is ignored.
208 KZHRSMITH: I contacted the police as 207 said, but they hung up right away without even asking about the location. First of all, we are going to the shrine in the north because our friend left a note.
209 Psychic Hunter: I haven’t heard of a shrine in a place like that?
210 Anonymous: It’s a shrine deep in Jukai… I only have a bad feeling.
211 Verdi Fan: It’s better not to go. It’s really dangerous.
212 Anonymous: There is probably a pseudo-shrine called Shirashira. It’s a famous cult on the Mystery Channel.
“Shirashira? Hmm… ! “It’s kind of a strange name.”
“First of all, it seems true that there is a cult according to Kiyohira’s note.”
The distance of 4 kilometers took about an hour if you walked slowly, but could be covered in 15 minutes if you ran quickly.
As we headed north as Kiyohira had taught us, we could see quite a few footprints as if people were going back and forth, and the road was becoming more and more organized. After about 3 kilometers, I saw a torii. There was something gloomy about a torii in the middle of the forest.
“There really seems to be a gentleman?”
“People are more scary than ghosts, so you have to be careful now.”
I said as I put on gloves made from the hair of the Daughter of the Abyss in my arms. People who were attracted to the cult would not have hesitated to commit murder, and if Kiyohira hung a prayer bead on the corpse, there may be a connection between the cult and the corpse.
At my words, Kazuhiro picked up a fallen tree branch and started looking around. Are you afraid of being attacked?
As we were about to cross the torii, we heard Kiyohira’s voice.
“For a moment!”
