Fog Formula-Warning Book of Fog City Search Chief's Strange Talk

Let's ask what we don't know yet.

This is really an interesting question. It's interesting because it looks like nonsense, but the proprietress knows what Jian Shenxiu is talking about.

He did come for that. The young and beautiful landlady's lips moved, her pupils shrank, and even though she tried her best to conceal it, she couldn't control her trembling body. From the moment Shenxiu knocked on the door, the proprietress vaguely guessed his intention, but her heart was still trembling in anticipation of other possibilities.

But it was useless, the answer still came - the possibility she dreaded most.

"...Miss told me that I will cooperate with you in handling the case."

After struggling for a while, she finally could only choke out this sentence. The trembling voice seemed to be forced out of her throat, but anyone could hear the struggle and panic in her voice,

"If you... have any questions, just ask."

"Very good." Jian Shenxiu nodded and began to ask directly.

"We have now basically determined that the source of the strange talk is in the woods north of the resort."

This is the first sentence the search chief said. The moment the word "North" came to his ears, the proprietress' body trembled violently.

"At first we didn't realize that we were involved with this hotel, although the location of the hotel is in the northernmost part of the resort. However, during the investigation during the day today, we accidentally discovered that there is a stone path that can be directly reached from the woods to the hotel The back door of the road. And the other end of the path is connected to several of our suspected targets. The stone path was obviously specially built by someone. But the second half of the road was artificially destroyed near the suspected target. So if If you start looking from that end, you may not be able to find it, but if you start from the hotel, you can easily reach the target location."

Seeing that Shenxiu raised his hand and spread his five fingers to cover the teacup, he shook the teacup slightly while speaking.

"It's an old road. It was destroyed by human beings a long time ago. Weeds have grown on the road after it was destroyed. But the road does exist. If our approximate range is not wrong, this hotel is in A few years ago, there used to be a special road that led directly to the location where we speculate that the strange story is now."

"..."

The proprietress bowed her head in silence.

"Why is there such a road?" Jian Shenxiu stared at her sharply, "What does this hotel have to do with that place? Why was that road destroyed again? During this process, you, as the proprietress of this hotel, , what role did it play in it?"

"And that road is also broken." Jian Shenxiu narrowed his eyes, "If that road is not broken, where does it lead to?"

"... leading to the former site of the hotel."

This question seemed difficult, the proprietress finally said after thinking for a while, with a bitter expression on her face and a hoarse voice when she said it.

"The former location of the hotel?"

Seeing Shenxiu was taken aback. The reputation of this hotel is not small, even if it is bundled with a resort, it can be regarded as famous all over the world. In the golden age of Xuejianze, this hotel was full of tourists. It once received a considerable number of big figures, and left many souvenirs for this hotel that are still talked about. It is one of the iconic attractions of Xuejianze. .

However, Jian Shenxiu had never heard of the old site of this hotel. In his memory, this hotel has always existed in this place since its inception, including NAVI's archives, and there has never been a record of this hotel's relocation, so where can we talk about the "old site"?

"I've never heard of it."

"It's normal if you haven't heard of it. That old site has never been opened to the public, and you can't even find this place on the satellite map." Jianze existed when it first entered the international stage. It was responsible for receiving scientists from various countries who came to Xuejianze for research at that time. It was the first international hotel in Xuejianze. The current hotel was actually established later, with the influx of immigrants from all over the world Yukimizawa gradually became prosperous, so a new hotel was built not far from the original site. It was built near the seaside for tourism considerations. At that time, the hotel at the old site was also abandoned for unknown reasons. Just throw it in the woods."

"..."

This is definitely a great secret, the stories that the proprietress told even Shenxiu did not understand. Because of the turmoil of the government reorganization during the Eternal Night period, even within NAVI, there are quite a lot of incomplete information about Xue Jianze's early days. There is a lot of key information that is no longer available after Yongye, and even those who are above the authority of the spiritual practice have not understood many things in the early days.

But the proprietress actually knew this, because she was in charge of this new hotel after Yongye, so she learned these secrets.

"Do you have the location of the old site? You said that this place is not on the satellite map, so is there any other map or coordinates?"

Seeing that Shenxiu immediately became vigilant, his blood seemed to start to stir for a moment, he identified the location, and immediately realized that the so-called "old site" might be the place he had been looking for all along. The "root" of the ghost story in this place.

"...Yes." The proprietress hesitated for a moment when she heard the words, it seemed that this was quite an arrogance for her. However, she finally made up her mind, turned around and walked into a nearby cabinet, opened a hidden compartment, took out a box inside, walked back and handed it to Jian Shenxiu.

"Here's a map and photos of the old site."

Seeing Shenxiu, he immediately took the box and opened it. Inside the box was a yellowed map with a few photos in the middle.

Judging from the photos, it is a western-style building. Jian Shenxiu recognized at a glance that it was indeed Xue Jianze's early architectural style. Unlike today's Xue Jianze who likes retro Japanese-style buildings, Xue Jianze of that era preferred European-style villa gardens.

"This is the core area of ​​Guai Tan? Is it in this position?"

Seeing that Shenxiu carefully looked at the map with burning eyes, he quickly identified the location of the building. In fact, they were already very close to that place when they were exploring the jungle during the day. The wooden house with gardening utensils they found during the day was originally one of the supporting settings for that western-style building!

"I have no idea."

However, this time the proprietress unexpectedly gave a negative opinion. She shook her head hesitantly, expressing that she was not clear.

"What do you mean?" Jian Shenxiu looked up from the map and looked at her suspiciously.

"Actually, I don't know what the so-called strange stories in this area are. The so-called "weird stories" must be spread among the people to be called strange stories. But as you can see, no one here discusses these at all."

The proprietress said with a wry smile.

"I only know that from a certain day after Yongye, some strange things suddenly began to happen here. I didn't have the courage to explore, so I only had a vague feeling. But the people around me seemed to turn a blind eye to those abnormalities. What a strange thing happened, but they didn't seem to know anything. The more calm they became, the more panic I became. One day it started to get weird, so weird that it scared me."

"What's the situation?" Seeing Shenxiu's brows tightened, "What do you know? Explain it clearly!"

"...It's a long story. So, before telling the story, let me tell a story." The proprietress hesitated for a moment, then said suddenly.

"After telling this story, you probably understand what is going on with the weirdness of this place."
