Why are you messing with him? All the animals in Tokyo are his minions.

It's like the boost a sprinter does before starting a race.

A crocodile's head emerged from the water.

The four reptilian eyes suddenly turned into a strange black color, like human eyes.

It became spiritual, but no longer approached Shuyue.

The cold wind slapped everyone's cheeks.

The hem of the dress fluttered in the wind.

Shu Yue suddenly raised his hand and pointed to the two o'clock direction in front of him. He said indifferently: "Take this crocodile and seek revenge on the enemy who killed its owner!"

Along with Shuyue's voice, a gust of wind blew from the side, enough to sweep people into the air.

Araki Sayuri and Kanda Yui both moaned softly and closed their eyes.

In the blink of an eye, the two giant animals disappeared from sight.

This is because the python jumped.

The snake's tail wrapped around the crocodile cowering in the lake and jumped into the air, leaping nearly twelve meters away.

The two giant animals paused in mid-air for a moment, then drew the trajectory of a free fall. They rushed at high speed towards the sea of trees at two o'clock in front of Shuyue.

From a distance, everyone could hear the loud "bang bang bang" sounds gradually fading away.

The giant python saw the landing point clearly, landed, jumped, landed, and jumped again. In a short period of time, it moved to a farther place at a speed that could not be seen by the naked eye.

Kanda Yui and Araki Sayuri had unknowingly become close to each other.

Feeling each other's shivering bodies, Araki Sayuri silently held Kanda Yui's arm. She looked at Shuyue and said in a voice as calm as possible: "Shuyue...are you helping that crocodile to get revenge?"

Shuyue slowly came back to his senses, and a gentle smile gradually appeared on his expressionless face. "Not entirely. It disturbed you, so I sent it away. Don't you want to swim? Change your clothes."

To be precise, Shuyue forcibly controlled the crocodile, and it wanted to die together with the being that killed its master.

Araki Sayuri took a sharp breath. She gasped and whispered, "...Shuyue, Yui and I are so scared. It's not suitable for swimming now. Can you... please be kind to us?"

Shuyue narrowed her eyes slightly, "Of course...you can..."

Chapter 255 Shuyue, You Are So Salty

Everything in Aokigahara Forest is bathed in the soft autumn sunset.

The autumn wind blows the fallen leaves into the clear lake, telling the tragic story of Aokigahara Forest.

The grass leaves, enduring the humid autumn air, can only lift their bodies with the help of the animals' footsteps to shake off the dew on their bodies. The next season will be a world where all things are asleep.

Two more hours.

The sun will set in the west of the forest.

For ordinary travelers.

The sea of trees where darkness descends will be hell.

The sound of Shuyue and the other two whispering could be heard from the tent next to the lake.

"Sayuri...is it true that the material of this dress was not custom-made by you?" Shuyue said in a low voice.

"Ah~" followed by Araki Sayuri's delicate voice, "The manufacturer originally produced these clothes. Our company only provided the styles and designs for the clothes. The clothes are made of a slippery material, so they feel very good, don't they?"

Shuyue's voice of agreement came, "Indeed, the texture is very good."

"It's the material for the swimsuit." Araki Sayuri lowered her voice.

Shuyue chuckled and said, "I see, you seem to like this kind of clothes very much... Look at my fingers..."

"Ah~ That's disgusting, Shuyue..."

As if she saw something, Sayuri Araki screamed.

Shuyue didn't seem to have any sympathy for her, but said angrily: "You have always been a bad child, Sayuri. While I was comforting Yui, you called Hattori Yuri to make trouble. That's why you sent that reporter away reasonably, right?"

"...Ah~ah, I'm sorry, I'm doing this for our own good." Sayuri Araki's voice was filled with fatigue and excitement.

At this time, Kanda Yui, who had been silent for a long time, finally made a complaining sound, "Huh? Sayuri, when you put starfish on me, you actually did something bad. You really are a bad kid."

Unexpectedly, Araki Sayuri simply ignored Kanda Yui's complaints and whispered, "Shuyue, you taste so salty."

Kanda Yui scolded with a smile: "Hey, Sayuri, stop deliberately changing the subject!"

……

The quiet Aokigahara Sea of Trees.

Footsteps are plural.

This is a group of strong men.

Even through a thick layer of autumn clothes, their muscular figure is still visible.

They all looked to be in their prime.

The leader was very tall and looked to be under thirty years old.

They had been walking in the Aokigahara Forest for nine hours straight.

They looked a little tired, but judging from their expressions, it was obviously not an outing.

Their expressions were stiff and preoccupied.

His stiff face looked as if he would burst into tears at any moment out of excitement.

They are like a group of young, vigorous and aggressive people who are trying hard to suppress the fear in their hearts.

A few people were breathing heavily like asthma patients, perhaps because the equipment they were carrying was too heavy.

"We should be almost there... 'Minamigami Village'... Let's go and see for ourselves if it exists."

This group of people are actually a group of two-dimensional friends who organized themselves spontaneously.

Because the Internet was not yet well developed, these people usually kept in touch with each other through letters, and would always agree on a time to get together every year to talk about life and their hobbies.

In short, they are brought together by the same hobby.

And now, the reason why they ventured into the Aokigahara Forest was because of the game "Zero: Red Butterfly".

The game makers set the background deep in the Aokigahara Forest.

Although the game packaging clearly states "This story is purely fictional."

But because the picture is too exquisite, many people believe that this is a real place.

Some people have a self-consistent logic and believe that it is because the Aokigahara Forest suppresses the "Hollow" mentioned in the game, the gate that connects to the underworld.

That's why Aokigahara Sea of Trees is so terrifying.

They even analyzed that the hot spring baths of the Sifangtang family might also have a magic array to suppress "Xu".

In short, this group of people are obsessed with virtual stories and cannot extricate themselves.

They got to know "Zero Red Butterfly" through the wonderful advertisement on TV.

At first, I bought "Zero: Crimson Butterfly" with a faint expectation that "it would be nice to try a new game."

After mustering up the courage to complete the game countless times and unlock all the endings.

They still feel unsatisfied.

The theory that as long as they believed, they could be saved made them discuss the topic of "Zero·Red Butterfly" for a long time.

but……

I really can’t let it go!

There is no cell phone signal, but I can check the time.

Everyone knows very well what fate awaits them when darkness falls.

They are not here to die.

I brought a lot of ropes and left marks along the way to ensure that I would not get lost in the forest.

There was still plenty of rope left, and they could go deeper into the forest.

However, after walking for too long, they were severely exhausted.

Being in the Aokigahara Forest, the mental fatigue is more severe than the physical fatigue.

The destination seemed to be right in front of me, but I could see nothing.

The feeling of being unable to reach one's destination no matter how hard one tries reduces the limits of what the human body can endure.

suddenly……

The view ahead suddenly became clear.

The forest, which was originally similar everywhere, suddenly had a bright opening.

A look of joy appeared on the leader's sweaty face.

However, this joy only lasted for a moment before turning into a look of horror.

The reason why the forest ahead suddenly opens up is not because we have reached the edge of the Aokigahara Forest.

Rather, it was because the trees fell to the ground in all directions, allowing the forest that once blocked out the sun to be seen again.

With a face covered in cold sweat, he looked up into the void.

Under the shining blue sky, a giant python and a giant reptilian monster of unknown creature were fighting fiercely with a human covered in blood.

Being beaten by two monsters, the man was not at all at a disadvantage.

This group of 2D crazy people were scared silly.

Some of them fearlessly took out their filming equipment and filmed the horrific battle situation ahead.

The rest of the companions came to their senses after a few seconds and immediately dragged the photographer away from the battlefield.

The camera captured the human being submerged in the python's long tail.

There was no loud noise from the python's attack, as if the noise was blocked by the fallen trees.

No sound of muscles and bones being devoured was heard.

Instead, he heard a roar that didn't sound like a human.

The group of people couldn't help but look back.

But the blood-soaked human was standing there, while the unknown five-legged deformed monster was lying at his feet.

The remaining giant python glanced at its companion's convulsing body, then suddenly jumped into the air and fled in a direction away from the human.

Chapter 256 New "Bedtime Poison"

When night falls.

Shuyue took Araki Sayuri and Kanda Yui into the water.

The lake is very clear.

At night, the pond is filled with stars, which looks very beautiful.

The scene is very different from that during the day.

The night sky here is not polluted by the neon lights of the city, and the starry sky is very clear.

"Shuyue~ The water is so cold, come and give me a hug~"

Sayuri Araki's smirking voice rang in my ears.

Shuyue chuckled and didn't express any opinion, but still opened her arms and held them in her arms, as if they were taking a hot spring bath together and looking at the stars.

Between the forest and the night sky, a strange object appeared ten kilometers away.

That is Mount Fuji under the night sky.

The mountain top with missing corners stretches towards the sky, and it is impossible to grasp the sense of distance just by looking at its outline.

The starry sky reflected in the lake makes people feel very close to the sky.

Even though she knew she was doing something stupid, Sayuri Araki couldn't help but stretch out her hands to scoop up a handful of lake water, trying to catch the stars, and then she laughed softly.
