Reincarnation Paradise: Giant Treasure Chest

The hot springs easily returned to their former state.

Only then did Ivia carefully examine the thing in her hand. It was a bone, a canine bone.

Clean dog bones without any weird smell.

Aivia finally realized what she had misunderstood.

There is a problem with the name of the mission in the Samsara Paradise. Generally speaking, in this kind of world, the so-called dog god should be a monster in the traditional sense, who creates resentment by killing dogs and then drives them away.

When Ivia heard the method the dog-faced old man used to deal with dogs, she subconsciously thought that this process replaced the ritual created by the monster.

In fact, the dog god mentioned in the Samsara Paradise is the literal dog god. For dogs, the person who feeds them, plays with them, and gives them shelter is their god. There is no need to use resentment to drive the dog god.

There was also a Wu Tiao owner's wife in the Wu Tiao Hot Spring House. She was the deceased mother of the current Wu Tiao owner's wife.

"You originally lived in Zhudu and only came back after your grandmother passed away, right?"

Ivia is carrying out the final confirmation process.

"Medicine seller! Are you not stuttering anymore?" Miss Wu Tiao asked in confusion.

Ivia didn't answer, but looked at Miss Wu Tiao, waiting for an answer.

Miss Wu Tiao looked at the medicine seller's serious expression, put away the joy brought by the restoration of the spring, and nodded.

"You came back because of relationship problems, right?" Ivia continued to ask.

Miss Wu Tiao opened her eyes wide, looking as if asking how did you know, and nodded with an expression of disbelief.

"Since your grandfather, Kujo Mitsuki, your father also married into the family here. Wujo Yuya is your family's ancestral inn, right?"

Aivia's previous doubts about the mother and daughter's surnames were also resolved at this time.

Miss Wu Tiao continued to nod.

"You also want to inherit this family inn, right?"

Ivia asked another question.

Miss Wu Tiao also nodded.

"This country still has male superiority over female. If we want someone to give up their family name and marry into the family, we have to set very low standards, right?"

Aivia confirmed it tentatively one last time.

Miss Wu Tiao pursed her lips and nodded helplessly.

This way everything fits together.

Based on the current appearance of the Wu Tiao mother and daughter, we can roughly infer the general appearance of the deceased Wu Tiao proprietress.

Such a beautiful woman had to accept a bad man as her husband because she had to run the family hotel. He would steal her children's money.

The former proprietress of Wu Tiao must have been in great pain.

Now the proprietress of Wu Tiao is unconscious in bed, the hotel is in crisis, and her husband is nowhere to be found. It seems that her marriage is also unhappy.

"You like me, right?" Ivia asked with a smile, looking like a handsome medicine seller.

Miss Wu Tiao's face quickly turned red, and she neither nodded nor shook her head.

Aiweiya silently said in her heart:

"The reason for the Inugami monster is that the innkeeper, the Wujo, did not want to see her beautiful granddaughter trapped in the mountains, ruining the lives of three generations, so she is plotting to close the inn."

But after all, this was the inn she had worked for her entire life, and the deceased Wu Tiao proprietress did not want to cause too much damage. She only destroyed the bridge and left the handsome man that her granddaughter had a crush on.

"Things will be resolved soon, let's go back!" Ivia did not continue to tease the girl who looked cheerful but innocent at heart, and said calmly.

After saying that, Ivia walked ahead and started to go down the mountain. She planned to go back to the hotel and talk to the owner of the strange power.

When the two men arrived at the open space in front of the hotel one after the other, the two policemen talked to the proprietress who had just woken up.

The older policeman's face changed drastically when he saw the medicine seller. He hurried over and asked in a low voice:

"Medicine seller, you're here. Could the deceased be that kind of person?"

"I'm not sure yet." Ivia guessed that the policeman must have had some experience with the medicine seller, so she answered him truthfully.

Because only after Ivia fully understood the cause and effect of the whole incident did she realize that something was wrong from the strange atmosphere that permeated the hotel.

The idea of ​​negotiation failed with Ivia's sigh.

With obsession and no living person to rely on, the monster has become a phenomenon and has now been integrated into every corner of the hotel. It will lose its original intention and always act with the goal of closing the hotel.

The dead old man's obsession has lost all reason and consciousness. If left alone, Ivia estimates that even his blood relatives will suffer in the end.

The best solution is to destroy the hotel as well!

"Madam Wu Tiao! Do you have any idea of ​​closing the hotel and leaving here?" Ivia asked tentatively.

"Hey! Medicine seller, you're not stuttering anymore!" the proprietress asked in surprise.

They are truly mother and daughter!

"No, this is a hotel that has been passed down in my family for seven or eight generations. We've been running it since before the war. I can't let it be destroyed in my hands!"

Wu Tiao Boss said decisively, then approached Ai Wei Ya and whispered:

"If things have come to this, then please, Mr. Medicine Seller, for the sake of our ancestors, take my daughter and leave with you!"

"That doesn't have to be the case!"

It’s not that Ivyya has no solution.

"Mr. Police Officer, please, you and your colleagues, please place the body in the center of the hotel lobby. I will be holding the Hundred Tales Conference tonight."

Ivia suggested an alternative option.

This was inspired by the Gray Gentleman's operation in the previous world to lure the ancient god. Since it was impossible to clear the monsters without destroying the hotel, she could just let the monsters jump out to find her.

That night, although everyone was trembling with fear, under the persuasion of the police and the proprietress, everyone gathered in the hall on the first floor, but they gathered at the entrance and away from the corpse covered with white cloth in the center of the hall.

Surrounding the corpse were Wu Tiao's mother and daughter, two policemen named Jujian and Zaohui, and the host, the medicine seller.

Tonight I'm going to tell spooky stories with Avia around a corpse.

Everyone sat around the corpse, each holding a candle in their hands, and Ivia began to explain the simple rules.

That is, after telling a ghost story, he blows out the candle in his hand and continues with the next one, starting with the policeman on Ivia's left and ending with Ivia herself.

……

This was my experience when I was a criminal police officer in Xijing. The winter in Xijing is very cold, especially after it snows. Before the war, there were always a few unlucky guys who would fall to the ground unconscious after getting drunk on a snowy night.

Later, after the war failed, people from the Northern Capital were sent to take over Xijing. Many sentries were set up specifically for the winter. If someone fell on the ground on a winter night, they would provide immediate medical treatment. As a result, the number of corpses lying on the ground gradually decreased.

I was one of these sentries, and the one three blocks away was manned by an old police officer named Heigoro.

About three years ago in the winter, Heigoro came to me while he was on duty, to chat and have snacks with me. I asked him what was going on at the sentry post.

He told me that he had been on duty for almost ten years, and there were no izakayas or late-opening convenience stores nearby, so he had never seen anyone frozen to death.

I believed him. After all, on a cold winter night, having someone to chat with can help relieve loneliness. We chatted and boasted until dawn before he went back.

I only found out about the accident the next day. Just last night, a man froze to death at the gate of Heigoro's outpost.

When he was found, he was still banging on the door of the guardhouse with his hands. After identification, it was found that the deceased was drunk and fell down on the street due to cold. He woke up in time when he was close to death.

However, by this time his hands and feet were severely frostbitten and unable to be used, so he crawled the entire street in the snow, beating up the sentry post where Heigoro was standing guard, until he froze to death.

Heigoro was detained for neglecting his duties and causing a major accident.

And for several days after that, more than one sentry heard the sound of knocking on the door at night, accompanied by a low cry for help: It's so cold, save me!

The guard opened the door but found nothing.

After the incident was reported to the detention center, Heigoro committed suicide due to excessive pressure.

I thought the incident was over, but a week later, on a snowy night, I heard someone knocking on my door, accompanied by a cry for help: "It's so cold! It's so cold! Help me!"

This voice belonged to the long-dead Heigoro.

……

The policeman finished his story, blew out the candle and stared at the medicine seller.

"And then?" This was the question asked by Miss Wu Tiao, who was trembling with fear but still wanted to hear what happened next.

"Then I was too scared, so I applied to be transferred to the peaceful countryside, and then I met the medicine seller." The intermediary's voice revealed a strong resentment, which was almost consistent with the weirdness that filled the hall.

Ivy ignored the resentment and just looked at the strange concentration. It was not enough, so she looked at the next person, who was the policeman Zaohui.

……

Before becoming a policeman, I was a driver, but I often drove long distances to earn some hard-earned money.

Late one night, I was driving home and saw a woman waving from the side of the road.

Although there was a slight safety hazard, I decided to stop the car and ask what was going on. I opened the window but didn't see anyone.

Then the next night, I met the figure again, and then the third and fourth days. I even got out of the car to check, but didn't find anything. On the fifth day, I drove out of town during the day.

When we came back, we found out that a female body was found there. It was obvious that half of her bones were broken, but the police determined that she fell from a two-meter-high roadside and died accidentally.

……

Having said this, Zaohui blew out the candle and remained silent.

Ikuma frowned and asked Abe, "Are you talking about the incident at the Shudu Inari Shrine?"

Zaohui remained silent and ignored her colleagues' questions.

"Hey, hey, hey, this is not a ghost story. It's simply made up to satirize the government!" Miss Wu Tiao complained.

"It's true." Zao Hui was no longer silent and whispered, "The dead woman was my wife."

The talkative Miss Wu Tiao immediately stood up and bowed to apologize.

"It's okay. It's been many years and I've let it go." Zaohui waved her hand.
