"Since it's a hunting shotgun, it's basically a real gun... Because shotguns can be obtained legally, unlike pistols, there is almost no market for high-imitation shotguns, and naturally no one will make such a thing. Qian Yu thought so, and after a moment of hesitation, he obediently did as the two uninvited guests requested.

As for the Gray Plains... At the first moment, the little girl had already stood up obediently and walked to the exit of the room under the watchful eye of Tanaka's shotgun.

"Even if you have an umbrella at hand, you won't be so passive... Chiba glanced at Kimura and Tanaka's fire control range, and then at the schoolbag not far away. "It's terrible...

"Let me in!" Tanaka threw Chiba and Ash Hara Ai into the back seat of the car, and then snatched the notebook, small note, and small round ball in Chiha's hand. "Hmph, I didn't expect it to take no effort to get here!"

"Give me the stuff and you go drive!" Kimura stretched out his hand.

"Oh... Tanaka replied, handed the things to Kimura, and got into the driver's seat himself.

The buggy roared and then started quickly.

"This book is really good," Kimura in the passenger seat turned his head to look at Chiba and Ashbara after flipping through a few pages. "Thank you so much for your great help, I will give you something good as a thank you gift when the time comes."

"Very good stuff!" Kimura was originally proud, but then turned into a sneer, and finally showed a hideous face.

"Tanaka, let's go to the mountain road west of the village first." Kimura looked at the pamphlet and ordered.

"Ahh Tanaka suddenly exclaimed—the SUV was driving along the edge of the Kubo Inn, and a man that everyone had seen suddenly came out of a small door in front of him.

Mr. Chef Ryozo!

"Squeak-" As Tanaka subconsciously pressed the brakes to death, the tires of the off-road vehicle made a tooth-aching sound, and the off-road vehicle quickly slowed down.

“！！！？？？” When Kimura heard Tanaka's exclamation, he turned his head and saw what was going on. Subsequently, he gave his order.

"Step on the gas pedal !!"

Tanaka was slightly startled, then immediately released the brakes and stepped on the accelerator.

"Oh my God..." Chiba and Ashbara sat in the back seat, watching in shock as the car knocked Mr. Ryozo out like a leaf.

"Are you crazy?" Chiba said in disbelief.

"Shut up!" Kimura turned his head and said in annoyance. "Or I'll break you two too!"

“。。。” Qian Yu frowned and chose not to speak again.

———————————— when Thousand Feathers and them were in crisis, Conan and them were also in extreme shock.

It all started with Conan and their departure.

I hadn't looked too closely at the scene around this neighborhood when I was in the car yesterday, but when everyone walked through this desolate village, they really felt how desolate this Black Abyss Village had become.

Not only is there no human being, but since last night, you haven't even seen a bird or a rodent! Even in the nuclear ruins of Chernobyl , there are animals ...

"Are you the only ones left in the whole village?" Mitsuhiko muttered.

"There should be some people still living here." Conan glanced at the surrounding houses and denied.

"There are indeed some people living in the village," Sayuki Kubo smiled wryly. "But it's probably not at home right now. Conan-kun, how did you see that there were still residents here? ”

Although there are several houses in this neighborhood that are inhabited by Sayuki Kubo, it is difficult to see this from the street where everyone is located, how did this little guy see this?

"Look at the window, the one with the name 'Sasaki,'" Conan motioned to look at a building not far away. "Look at the window on the second floor."

"Sasaki?" Everyone couldn't find the building that Conan said for a while, and finally found the building under the guidance of Sayuki Kubo. Just on the second floor of that building, a window was clearly visible. "What's wrong with that window?"

"Look at the windows of the other houses, how dirty they are," Conan said, gesturing to some of the next windows. "Look at that window again."

With the exception of the house, the windows of the other houses were quite dirty, apparently stained by the wind and rain. And the window of that house was obviously specially cleaned and very clean.

"When the hot springs dry up, most families leave here and go out in search of a way out," Sayuki sighed. "Most of the people who stayed here chose agriculture or went to the city to work in handicrafts, so the residents here are not in the village now."

After a few minutes of walking, the village and the asphalt were gone, leaving only rudimentary stone steps and dense forests on both sides.

"Shall we climb up?" Yuan Tai was stunned when he saw such a steep staircase.

"Above is the important building of this village!" Tadao introduced. "Kurobuchi Hachiman Shrine."

。。。

"Da, da." At the top of the stone steps, clear footsteps came, and Conan's tired figure appeared at the top of the stone steps. "Whew—" Conan let out a sigh.

He then sat down on the stone steps, gasping for breath while observing the appearance of the so-called Kurobuchi Hachiman Shrine.

At the end of the stone steps is connected to the platform, and on the platform sits an antique, Warring States-style building complex.

"Is this the Kurobuchi Hachiman Shrine??? Conan looked at it for a moment, then pouted. "This too..."

"It's too inferior!!!!!??????"

At the center of the platform and the complex, a small ancestral hall that is no match for the size of a normal shrine sits there.

"I'm sorry, but this is the main hall of the Kurobuchi Hachiman Shrine." Just behind him, Mr. Tadao, who was not red and breathless, appeared behind her, and said quietly. "Even if it's smaller than you think, it's the only temple that can honor the souls of the dead here."

"Revenant?" Conan's complexion changed slightly. "No wonder this is an important building in the village... Is this a shrine dedicated to the deceased miners!? ”

"Yes," Tadao said, his expression a little gloomy. "This is the shrine of the victims of the three-digit miners."

"Ah————" At this moment, everyone climbed onto the platform, and the panting Yuan Tai, who had only climbed up at the end, knelt directly on the bluestone platform. "I'm exhausted!!"

"Well, let's rest and visit here," Sayuki said with a smile as her breathing calmed down a bit. "But don't go near the edge of the platform!"

"Yes," Tadao said, his expression becoming serious. "If you're not careful, you'll fall into the abyss!"

"Is this here..." Conan glanced at the edge of the platform with a slight bewilderment, but found nothing.

"There's a mountain in the direction you're looking at, and it's a little shorter than here, so you can't see it from here," Tadao pointed in the direction Conan was looking. "That's the only reason for the establishment of Heiyuan Village - Jinshan."
