Chapter 122 The House of Underworld (3)
After returning to the office, Qian Xiaoyi naturally found the same letter at his door. Except that the name was his, it was similar to the one from Heita Inuyama. .
"Although it says it's an invitation, it doesn't say the location." Inuyama Heita said: "Isn't this too perfunctory? Are you teasing us? Or are you trying to intimidate us?"
"It doesn't look like it." Qian Xiaoyi put the envelope under his nose and smelled it. It had a very ordinary letter paper scent with some ink scent, and then said: "Huangquanwu... sounds like a shop."
"But I can't find this online." Heita Inuyama looked down at his phone and kept scrolling down, but he couldn't find any information about the relevant store.
"How can it be so simple~" Qian Xiaoyi said: "Hey, where's Takeru? Come out and smell this paper."
"Do you think I'm a hound!" Takeru got out of Inuyama Heita's pocket He came out, got close to the letter, twitched his nose and sniffed it, and then said: "It smells a bit strange, it's the smell of alcohol...ah, it's so hot!"
He just touched it with his hand. He opened the paper, as if it had come into contact with a soldering iron, and retracted his hand with a scream.
"This thing...it bites!" Ajian said in fear.
"Interesting~ It's rare to see this thing." Qian Xiaoyi raised his eyebrows: "The smell of wine... Is it an izakaya? I have some ideas. By coincidence, I calculated the time and today is the right time. Sakutsuki, it’s the opening time of the Shinsato store, so we just received this letter today, so Heitaro, are you okay with it? You may be busy very late today.”
Inuyama Heita said: "It's already summer vacation, Brother Yi, there's no need to go to class anymore."
Qian Xiaoyi said, "I've forgotten that you students still have winter and summer vacation~ That's just right, since you also accept it When we get the letter, let’s act together at night.”
Naturally, Inuyama Heita had no objections. He was also curious about the other party’s background, so he stayed in the office.
While waiting, Qian Xiaoyi also called and asked about Mike. At this time, the "Blues" bar was open, and Mike should be working part-time as a bartender. If you want to get some weird information, you can definitely go to the bartender in the tavern. Some drunk customers think that Mike cannot understand Japanese because he is a foreign gangster and taciturn, so they often regard him as someone to talk to. In addition, Mike is also superstitious, so he knows a lot. Bizarre things.
"Huangquan House?" Mike was a little surprised: "Mr. Qian, do you mean Huangquan Izakaya?"
Qian Xiaoyi didn't expect that the other party really knew, so he asked: "You know?"
Mike replied: "I heard it from the drinkers when they were chatting. Which bar do they sometimes talk about?" Maybe the wine in an izakaya is better. Once we talked about the wine in Huangquan izakaya. Legend..."
This is an urban legend circulated among drinkers. It is said that there is such an alcoholic who often goes to an izakaya to drink with his friends after work. After one round of drinking, it is not enough. I always change stores and continue to do the second and third rounds. In fact, this situation is quite common in Japan, so there is no useful information at the beginning of the story.
After laying out the background of the story, Mike slowly got to the point.
One day, the drunkard got separated from his companions in a daze because he was drunk. He didn’t know where he went. When he lost his way, he vomited while holding on to the wall. At that time, I suddenly saw an izakaya not far away. The name of the restaurant was "Yangquan". The drunkard thought that there was actually a restaurant here that I had never drank before? The name is still so strange? interesting. So he walked in swaggeringly. There was only a little girl in a kimono inside the izakaya. The drunkard didn't pay attention, but he was drunk and asked someone to open a drink for him.
The little girl poured him a glass of wine. After drinking the glass of wine, the drunkard felt that the taste of the wine was too unique. He had never drunk such a delicious wine, so he asked what the wine was called. .
The little girl replied: "This glass of wine is called 'Dream Like Fantasy', which is brewed from the water of Huangquan."
The drunkard thought this wine was very good, so he stayed In the izakaya, continue drinking.
When people found him again the next day, his body was already cold and covered with vomit. The cause of death was suffocation. It was said that he was suffocated by the alcohol in his stomach after being drunk. I choked to death on the liquid.
So there is a legend among drinkers that if you see an izakaya called Huangquan after getting drunk, you must not go in or drink the contents. Once you drink, you will be taken in. Underworld, unable to return to the human world.
"Is this an urban legend again...Thanks, Mike." Qian Xiaoyi hung up the phone.
Heita Inuyama asked a little nervously: "Is there really such a place? Send people to the izakaya of Huangquan." A dangerous place in urban legends wrote to him, and it has something to do with Huangquan. It makes people unhappy.
"If you are talking about those dangerous ghost areas, my answer is yes." Qian Xiaoyi replied: "But this 'Yellow Spring Izakaya', I don't think it is that kind of dangerous place. "
"Why?" Inuyama Heita asked.
"Because people have sent us invitation letters." Qian Xiaoyi shook the letter in his hand and said: "These letters can be seen and touched. They are things that really exist in reality. This means that this place Of course, it is not ruled out that it is maintained by real people. Someone wants to lead us to a dangerous place and kill people with a borrowed knife, but it will be too troublesome to leave traces through these letters, so I still prefer this to be an invitation and a test."
" That's it~" Inuyama Ping was too relaxed. tone, and then asked: "Then how are we going to find this store?"
"We still rely on these letters." Qian Xiaoyi said: "It's not time yet, so I can't tell anything. People's letters Didn’t I say it above~ The store won’t open until midnight at night, so Just wait, let’s go out and try again when the time is almost up, otherwise it would be embarrassing if we go early and they haven’t opened the door yet.” Xiaoyi and Inuyama Heita rode Nuhumaru out of the house.
“Take this and help me look at the road.” Qian Xiaoyi asked Heita Inuyama, who was sitting behind, to help look at the compass pointer, while he drove his motorcycle in the direction of the compass.
On the compass, the letter paper they received was bound by ink lines, and the pointer swayed slowly as they moved.
Heita Inuyama reported the direction, and gradually realized something in his heart. He thought: "Is this so? The so-called Huangquan Izakaya is actually a building in the ghost land? How can someone actually do this? It’s incredible to open a store in a ghostland.”
