Chapter 146: Staying together (19)
"Don't think about the elephant..." Inuyama Heita murmured, then stood up and walked towards the field.
At this moment, no one paid attention to him, as if he did not exist in front of people's eyes. Even the old people around him who were responsible for setting up the venue did not notice Inuyama Heita walking in front of them. Inuyama Heita walked farther and farther, leaving the crowd behind, until he came to a vast and endless field.
"Phew! I did it!" At this point, Inuyama Heita exhaled in one breath. He gasped and retreated from the state just now, looking at the surrounding area that did not exist in disbelief. The place in the real world said to itself: "The entrance to the ghost realm is actually among the crowd at the opening of the festival... Is this really a man-made magic circle? It's too scary."
He was a little shocked by the designer of the magic circle. The design is ingenious, and I am grateful for my success.
"Inuyama-san, are you okay? Where are you here?" Takeru seemed to feel the changes in the outside world, and turned into an entity and appeared next to Heita Inuyama.
Heita Inuyama said in surprise: "Mr. Takeru, you are the one. You haven't shown up for such a long time. I thought something happened to you."
Takeru waved his hand: "I was just scared. We are just hiding in Jade Perry, so this is a ghost land, right? It turns out there is such a place in the village. "To be precise, we are in the magic circle now," Inuyama Heita said. "Just follow Brother Yi's instructions and leave."
"Brother Yi is back? Is he not here? You can't feel it." Ajian looked around and asked: "And there is no direction at all here. Ah, how do you know where to go? Or did you get Brother Yi’s compass?”
Inuyama Heita said: "There is no compass, but you can see the map."
He took out a map with lines drawn on it from his pocket, with many small dots of different colors on it, and said: "Brother Oto, before He had already drawn this array when he was in the village. This is the orientation map of the array he speculated on. Just follow this. "
"The problem is... we don't. Do you know the southeast, northwest?" Aken said in surprise: "In this case, it is useless to have a map, right?"
"There is a way to determine it." Inuyama Heita said: "According to the map, we must first find one. The scarecrow in red clothes served as a beacon to determine his location...Ah, yes, it is indeed nearby!"
He just turned around slightly and discovered what Qian Xiaoyi said. The scarecrow wearing red clothes, Inuyama Heita pointed to the red dot on the picture and said: "Otoko's drawing is correct, we are currently at this approximate location."
Ajian clicked his tongue and marveled: "The environment of the Ghost Realm is completely different from the outside world, and it may change at any time. It is actually amazing to be able to draw such an accurate map without guidance..."
" Maybe I broke it with him It's related to the magic circle." Heita Inuyama looked at the map, blurred out the route with his finger, and said, "Let's go forward."
Following the instructions on the map, Heita Inuyama visually measured the approximate angle. Then headed in that direction.
Ajian floated aside and said: "This place... is really strange. My perception ability is almost broken here, and it is of no use at all. If there is no map, I will probably be trapped. Here..."
"Shh, be quiet!" Inuyama Heita suddenly stopped. In the fields around them, a scarecrow with a human head suddenly appeared. He maintained his stiff movements. He just passed by them quietly, seemingly not noticing them. "Hey! It's so scary!" Ajian said with a face full of panic: "I didn't feel anything at all, what on earth was it!"
Heita Inuyama continued to walk forward and said: "It is the power of self-defense in this magic circle. We are currently taking the safe route planned by Brother Oto, which is said to be in a moving gate. , plus I also gave old clothes to the village, which increased The connection has been strengthened, so as long as we walk in the right place, the magic circle will not regard us as enemies."
Next, they were like walking in the fields, stopping and walking, unexpectedly. They didn't encounter any danger, which they themselves couldn't believe. Soon, the surrounding scene changed.
"We are almost at the core area." Inuyama Heita looked down at the map and said: "As long as we can interfere with a certain point of this circle..."
"Inuyama, look ahead. , there is a situation.”
As soon as Inuyama Heita raised his head, the scene around him had changed from a field to a village. It felt exactly like in reality. Inuyama Heita passed by the grocery store, where a scarecrow was watching the TV on the counter intently, motionless.
"It's Ryuji from the grocery store." Heita Inuyama said. Unlike those scarecrows with human heads, the Ryuji scarecrow is an ordinary scarecrow with a painting on it.
"I see..." Ajian said: "The scarecrows transformed by the dead people here are the heads of real people, and the living people attracted here are ordinary scarecrows, which are exactly the same as those in reality. "In reverse."
They passed through the village. There were still scarecrows on the streets and in the buildings, adding a very strange atmosphere to the village.
Finally, Heita Inuyama arrived at his destination, which was a golden field. The dusk sunlight illuminated the field very dazzlingly, and in this field, there was only a scarecrow standing there alone. .
Inuyama Heita and Takeru walked over and looked up at the old face.
"It's so lonely... Why does everyone have to leave? Is the city really that good?"
The Scarecrow said to himself in a depressed tone, Inuyama Heita I vaguely felt that something sounded familiar, and after thinking about it carefully I recalled that this should be the person who was talking to the master setting up the formation in the scene I saw at the shrine last night.
Hearing the scarecrow's words, Jian nodded and said, "Although people in the city are difficult to get along with, they are indeed much more convenient than in the village."
He just hitchhiked out of habit. It was just words. Unexpectedly, the scarecrow also heard it. It raised its head and said angrily with a wrinkled face: "What's so good about that kind of place? There are car exhaust fumes everywhere, and the place where I live is very petty. The room is like a coffin. Everything there costs money, and nothing belongs to you! Everyone is so indifferent, young people speak incomprehensible words, and there are machines everywhere that you can’t understand... Why do everyone I want to go to that kind of ghost place!”
Ajian was shocked at first, but after hearing the scarecrow's words, he pointedly pointed out: "After saying so much, you are actually just an old man who can't keep up with the times, right?"
"You said What?”
