Yamanashi Prefecture.

In the vast forest belt around Mt. Fuji, there is a long, narrow and dark sea of ​​trees extending from the southwest foot of the mountain, which looks like a sharp crescent moon from the air.

In the center of the sea of ​​trees, which was so quiet that you couldn't even hear the chirping of birds and insects, the same black trees stood lonely, like a dark and deep ocean.

The thick white mist surrounds the forest, making it extremely difficult for people to see five meters in front of them.

In the fog, thick hemp ropes of different lengths, old and new, passed densely through the black tree trunks.

Above the head, among the black branches and leaves that covered the sky, corpses wrapped around trees and vines and covered their faces with black cloths dangled quietly like bats.

"One, two, three, four, five..."

At this moment, a man in black robe is walking gracefully along the black volcanic rock path in this dead forest.

"Six, seven, eight, nine, ten..."

It seemed to be a foreign woman by the soft counting tone and the slightly accented Japanese.

"Yeah, what a pity, maybe as long as there are just a few more people, my 'power of destiny' will be temporarily weakened..."

Wherever she passed along the way, a priest in a black robe, blindfolded by a black cloth, was lying scattered on the grass.

"Has the manpower of Yin Yang Liao been weakened to this point over the years?"

At present, these black-robed priests, who are known as the "highest combat power" of the Yin-Yang Liao, some temples were smashed into blood by stones, some were pierced by branches in the back of their necks, and some were blue and purple because of suffocation. A grim expression on his face, a tragic state of death.

"The "Shou Chen Ding" of the Yin-Yang Liao is known to be able to penetrate all the laws of the world, devour all grievances and spiritual power, and can move freely in the Aokigahara tree known as the 'hell on earth'. Break through the hard walls'. If it hadn't been for His Excellency Fate Sacrifice, how could it have been resolved so gracefully..."

Not far behind her, another bloated, hoarse male in black robe was squatting in front of one of the corpses of Shou Chending to investigate.

"Tsk tsk tsk, what a powerful and invisible 'destiny', no wonder even Tokimoto Ichiro, who supports half of Japan's spiritual world, has no resistance in front of Your Excellency."

He carried a huge wooden box on his back, with a huge green scroll hanging below it, looking like a traveler who traveled long distances in the mountains and forests in ancient times.

"Your Excellency 'Tianmen Explorer' is overrated, but he was blocked by the fog of death that even 'Fate' could not get involved in, and he wandered outside this sea of ​​trees for more than 20 years. Without your guidance, how could there be today? Opportunity to go deep into it?"

Aokigahara Sea of ​​Trees is a crescent-shaped forest belt located in the southwest of Mt. Fuji. It is a quiet tourist attraction due to its proximity to Mt. Fuji and the Fuji Five Lakes, and complete public facilities such as forest trails and camping sites.

But the reason why this place is famous in Japan is not because of the beautiful scenery and natural forest oxygen bar, but because it is the most famous "suicide holy place" and "death forest" in Japan.

Since more than 20 years ago, the sea of ​​trees in Aokigahara, which was originally a "forest bathing" attraction, began to have tourists disappearing in the forest. Residents living nearby claimed that they often heard the sound of ropes rubbing against each other in the middle of the night and saw strange figures wandering in the forest.

Perhaps it is the iron rich in the soil that constitutes a chaotic natural magnetic field. Whether electronic equipment, compass or communication equipment, cannot work normally in the Aokigahara Sea of ​​Trees.

And the single species of black trees are so dense that they cover the sky, making the whole forest seem to be immersed in the dark night all year round. There are no ups and downs, the black trees are the same, and the white fog persists in middle age. After walking for a long time, it is easy to get visual fatigue and lose the sense of direction.

Due to the special environment in this sea of ​​trees, due to various factors, the search and rescue force organized by the government not only failed to carry out the search and rescue as scheduled, but also lost many search and rescue personnel.

In the end, the local police could only search and rescue in the most "earth" way...that is to wrap the waist with ropes and enter the sea of ​​trees one by one. The ends of the ropes are tied to the cars outside the forest to avoid entry.

However, the police's slow search and rescue method not only makes it difficult to bring back the victims' bodies, but also police officers are still missing from time to time.

The most bizarre thing is that the missing persons who were found were all covered with leaves, and hung from the trees with hemp ropes twisted from tree vines, becoming icy corpses.

According to the criminal investigation at the scene, these people seem to have personally twisted the vines into hemp ropes, wrapped them around their necks, and hung themselves on the treetops after covering their faces with leaves...

Repeated investigations were fruitless~lightnovelpub.net~ The official was forced to close this scenic spot due to the pressure of public opinion. However, this did not prevent more people from losing their lives in this black sea of ​​trees...

Because, I don't know when, the saying "use Aokigahara as the place to end one's life" began to be passed on in some Japanese literary and artistic works, so that the number of people who came to the sea of ​​trees to commit suicide with suicide notes gradually increased...

Later, it even developed into "volunteers" who met in online groups. Thousands of mountains and rivers came to this place with a suicide note, covered their faces and hung themselves on the treetops, saying goodbye to a tragic life.

In the past two decades, the number of people missing or committing suicide in the Aokigahara Tree Sea has increased exponentially, making it a "world-class suicide mecca" second only to the Golden Gate Bridge in the United States.

In this regard, the only thing the official can do is to fill the sea of ​​trees with slogans that read "Think about your family", "Life is precious, please think twice", "The bear will bite your body beyond recognition". brand, and then organize an annual "corpse clean-up" operation by police and volunteers.

Only Japanese spirit slayers know that, unlike public opinion, the original Aokigahara Sea of ​​Trees can only be regarded as an "ordinary eerie forest" with occasional ghosts and ghosts.

Since more than 20 years ago, the black trees suddenly appeared, spitting out a strange white mist that exudes the breath of death, lingers all year round, and isolates the spiritual power and sense of direction. Spiritualists dare not set foot in it lightly.

"The eyeballs of "Shou Chending" were all gouged out... Is it because I didn't see something... Then, how is it possible to distinguish things in a place like Aokigahara's Sea of ​​Trees? "

The man in black robes protruded several tentacles with various biological characteristics such as octopus, snakes, centipedes, etc., and smartly ripped off the clothes of Shou Chending, pierced the inside of the opponent's corpse, and explored up and down.
