The next day, Beichuan Si rose early from bed.
He first scanned the surrounding environnt and did not notice anything unusual; there was no scene of villagers surrounding the vacant house as he had imagined.
It seed that last night’s intrusion into Mikami Forest was just a minor matter not worth ntioning.
Was it Ihui Nai Luo?
Beichuan Si mumbled to himself, squinting his eyes.
Now it appeared that the status of the Great Heavenly Person of Ihui Nai Luo was much higher than he had anticipated.
But in any case, what Beichuan Si had to do today would not change—
to send the entire Shen Gu family away.
He had already reconnected with a yacht, which would arrive and anchor near the harbor before long. Once the Shen Gu family was sent away, Beichuan Si would have many more actions he could take.
After all, without having to worry about the Shen Gu family, as long as he remained on the island, he would certainly be able to thoroughly investigate everything that was hiding in the dark.
However, it was still best to be cautious.
After all, the long-standing customs of Yihui Island had been passed down for a long ti, and there could be so ans to restrain him.
Beichuan Si was not a man easily swayed by arrogance, always acting after considerable thought. In situations like this, where he still could not grasp the other party’s tactics, it was more prudent to be cautious—
He was, after all, a cautious person.
With that thought, Beichuan Si stopped his contemplations and turned back into the vacant house.
By this ti, the entire Shen Gu family had also gotten up.
Their timing for waking was just right, and they did not create any situation similar to that with Beichuan Huili.
After exchanging morning greetings, they hurriedly ate so canned food and then prepared to leave.
During this ti, Chang Ze Aoba, who had already awoken from his stupor, was flushed with a red face, trying to argue a couple of excuses hoping to convince Shen Gu Jiro and Shen Gu Chiharu to let him off.
Watching the other party kneel down to kowtow and promise to confess everything, Shen Gu Jiro responded with a calm expression:
"I don’t know what kind of benefits the Yihui Island residents promised you, nor do I want to know. Chang Ze, you can say the rest to the police and Mr. Ueda’s family."
Mr. Ueda was probably the investigator who had been trapped in Mikami Forest. Now thinking about it, Chang Ze Aoba might also be the reason for the other’s tragic death.
Shen Gu Jiro did not resort to any violent asures, simply giving a brief instruction and then turning to Beichuan Si: "Mr. Temple, I have so investigation materials about Ihui Island here. Since we’ve decided to leave, these materials are no longer significant for Chiharu and to keep. I’ll hand them over to you, hoping they can help with your actions to co."
Beichuan Si’s expression shifted.
He had been planning to ask Shen Gu Jiro for their investigation materials, but before he could bring it up, the other party very considerately handed everything over.
Beichuan Si took the white folder that Shen Gu Jiro pulled out of the large duffel bag and stuffed it into his backpack without a glance.
Once Shen Gu Jiro left, he would have plenty of ti to read through these materials; there was no hurry at the mont.
After finishing up, Shen Gu Chiharu also coughed twice, tugging Beichuan Si aside and whispered to him: "Although Chang Ze didn’t directly reveal what benefits the Yihui Island residents promised him, Jiro and I actually know—"
There was a mont of seriousness on her usually nonchalant face:
"I suspect the Ihui Island residents... or perhaps an important person from Ihui offered him benefits related to a curse that exists only in the legends surrounding the Divine Tree... that curse, if Jiro and I are not mistaken, is probably the most widely circulated legend among the villagers here about reincarnation... the spell of reincarnation."
Reincarnation?!
Even Beichuan Si felt a chill.
Soone among Yihui Island’s residents had mastered the spell of reincarnation?
"After all, it’s just a legend. Jiro and I haven’t confird it yet..."
At this point, Shen Gu Chiharu shrugged her shoulders and said with a playful smile: "If soone could really master the spell of reincarnation, wouldn’t that an immortality? Ah, there can’t be such a spell without direct consequences. We have records in the material; you’ll see it soon enough. As for everything else, there’s nothing much to say."
Shen Gu Chiharu clearly didn’t take the legend seriously.
After all, it was a spell capable of bringing about reincarnation.
If it were truly possible to manipulate it at will, that would be too far-fetched.
The chanisms within it would be much more difficult than just talking about it.
They had basically said all they wanted to say.
Except for one person—
Beichuan Si looked towards Shen Gu Mirai, who was on the other side, tilting her head and staring at Beichuan Si in a daze.
When Shen Gu Mirai saw Beichuan Si turn his head, a natural blush spread across her face, and she imdiately turned her head away, no longer looking at Beichuan Si.
It seed that Shen Gu Mirai intended to stay silent.
Beichuan Si withdrew his gaze.
It was almost ti to set sail.
The group decided to head to the harbor right now.
But—
Who would have thought that upon arriving at the harbor, they would encounter such a scene?
Beichuan Si stood still, his black eyes surveying the area.
People...
It was people...
The already small dock was occupied by villagers dressed in traditional Japanese sea folk attire.
As soon as they saw Beichuan Si and Shen Gu Mirai’s group, they all turned their heads, watching them with a very wary gaze.
Not far from the dock, a yacht was moored about several tens of ters away from the pier.
