Chapter 259 259. No time to explain, get in the car quickly

The green mountains that were originally visible to ordinary people have turned into brown. The crows surrounding the mountains are pitch black, blocking the sky. If you look closely, you will find that these crows are all made of scarlet flesh. They are strangely shaped, and their wings may be made of human arms, lizard tails, or fish fins.

The cracked ground was full of cracks, and there was a faint light of fire between these cracks, as if the flames in the abyss were about to burst out along these gaps.

The sea of ​​trees ahead was swaying in the scorching wind. Each of those "trees" was made of the bones of living creatures, and the "branches and leaves" on them were all bloody and irregularly shaped internal organs.

The stench, decay, and sulfur-smelling air penetrated the nasal cavity, making it difficult to breathe.

What is even more frightening is that these scenes have risen to the shallow level of the abyss. Even ordinary people can see the same scenes as long as they walk in. Their reason will disintegrate and collapse in an instant, in the unquenchable wind. Turn into a monster.

"Smells bad."

The little witch wrinkled her nose. She took out a handful of red and white sandalwood paper from her pocket, gently shaped it into the shape of an imperial guard, and handed it to Qiao Mu.

"Thanks."

Qiao Mu took the guard and suddenly felt that the air around him was much fresher.

"This thing can only last for about an hour. As the pollution deepens, the effect time may be shortened. Please hold it."

The little witch pinched a few more and asked Qiao Mu to put them away.

Although Qiao Mu didn't really need these, he still put them in his pocket, just in case they were useful at a critical moment!

"How far is it from the institute?"

Qiao Mu asked, looking ahead. All the way to the top of the mountain, he didn't find any man-made buildings.

"Through the sea of ​​trees, near the crater, do you see a big pit over there? It's in that pit."

The little witch pointed to a gap on the ridge.

"There was an eruption there before, leaving a gap. Wajima Culture built a downward-facing research institute inside. The part above the ground is so small that it is almost imperceptible."

"oh!"

Qiao Mu responded.

"That's too far."

he sighed.

This hiking route is estimated to take several hours, and it will be afternoon by then.

"There's no way, cars can't drive in, and it's easy to cause alienation. Originally, the contaminated area was only around the research institute, and then it spread to the sea of ​​trees, and now it's here."

The little witch explained.

"That's easy to say."

Qiao Mu thought there was a rule here that he could only worship on foot. He thought about it and golden threads fell from the sky, outlining the appearance of a black luxury car. Although it looked like the same thing, if you look closely, you will find that This car looks fake, like it's made of paper.

"What's this?"

The little miko looked at the car suspiciously.

"No time to explain, get in the car quickly."

Qiao Mu opened the paper car door and climbed into the driver's seat. Ebisu, who could not see the little miko, also got into the back seat and looked around curiously.

Although the little witch was confused, there was no other way of transportation at the moment, so she also got into the car.

"It's indeed paper."

When her hand touched the car door, she muttered.

The environment inside the car is even more primitive. The seats are made of paper, and the steering wheel and brakes are all made of paper. This makes people question the strength of the structure, as if it will collapse at any time.

"Did you pinch this?"

The little miko looked at the empty, glassless front window and asked.

"Yes, it's called Dian Dian."

"What?"

The little witch completely failed to understand the logical thinking behind this naming.

"Because the hearse bumped and bumped, the little miko opened her eyes and realized that the day to explore the Ukiyoyama Research Institute is today!"

Qiao Mu said casually, and stepped on the accelerator before the little witch continued to ask.

The paper hearse suddenly accelerated.

"ha?"

The little witch immediately grabbed the seat of the simple hearse.

The hearse sped across the cracked earth, surprisingly smoothly, because the road itself was a highway leading to the mountainside. The little witch saw something seeming to be stirring among the woods on both sides of the road, and she spied on the hearse.

"There's a sea of ​​trees in front of us. It just feels like that."

Qiao Mu asked.

The Sea of ​​Trees is a primitive forest in Mount Ukiyo, with endless lush trees. In addition to being a scenic spot, it is also a famous suicide resort.

Of course, Qiao Mu knew that this was an anomaly, [Sea of ​​Trees in Mount Ukiyo].

To put it simply, this place will be polluted by memes, affecting humans who can see the strangeness here, attracting them to seek death, and at the same time transferring their own pollution to those who commit suicide.

This sea of ​​trees should have been a rather troublesome anomaly in the past, and it took many years of anchoring to gradually become what it is today.

Unfortunately, following the accident at Ukiyoyama Research Institute, the place really turned into a forest of corpses.

"Be careful, some people have witnessed monsters in the sea of ​​trees before. Maybe those monsters have now transformed into something more terrifying."

The little witch reminded Qiao Mu not to take it lightly.

"How terrible can it be compared to Chernobyl?"

Qiao Mu said casually.

"."

The little witch fell silent.

Just as they were crossing the sea of ​​trees, the trees made of corpses suddenly trembled.

Crunchy——

The crisp sound of bones colliding became louder and louder. The little witch couldn't help but look out the window and saw a huge snake made of bones looking down at them.

This giant skeletal snake was about thirty stories high. Just when the little witch looked into its deep eyes, several similar heads rose up from the forest.

I counted eight in total.

"Is this the Yamata no Orochi?"

The little shrine maiden thought of the legend of Wajima. At that time, there was a disturbance in the sea, the Yamata-no-Orochi. Thanks to the gods' intervention and a fierce battle with it, the Yamata-no-Orochi was killed. Although to ordinary people, this is just ancient humans' reaction to natural phenomena such as thunder and lightning storms. It's a beautiful imagination, but the little witch knows that this must be a myth that the mutual devouring of anomalies was recorded by those who can visually see it.

As for whether the one in front of her was genuine, she didn't think it was real. It seemed more like it was based on changes in human cognition.

In the subconscious minds of the humans who died here, snakes are extremely terrifying existences, so the condensed intentions also look like snakes.

The big snake didn't hesitate at all. When it saw the hearse, it came over. As it moved, it made a roar that made the earth tremble. Trees made of skeletons fell down, and the cracked earth shattered.

"Coming, coming, coming!"

The little witch immediately shouted.

She didn't know how to deal with such a behemoth. In her missions in foreign lands, she only faced ghosts and ghosts similar to anomalies. It would be better to say that the depth of the world is no longer as deep as in ancient times. Such huge physical monsters appear now. All are extremely rare.

"Don't panic, I told you, if you really die, I can pinch you."

Qiao Mu held the steering wheel and didn't care about the approaching snake.

"Thank you very much."

The little witch rolled her eyes at Qiao Mu. She took out a handful of red and white sandalwood paper from her pocket, pinched it twice and threw it out of the car window.

Those sandalwood papers immediately turned into a flock of birds, flying all the way towards the big snake. They hit the big snake's body made of white bones, and burst out with a series of green flashes, but after those flashes, the big snake still moved forward. The efforts of the little witch It was like a mantis using its arms as a chariot, unable to affect the behemoth at all.

"By the way, I have something to confess."

Qiao Mu suddenly spoke. He looked ahead and did not turn his head to pay attention to the big snake.

"What?"

The little witch's heart skipped a beat, wondering if Qiao Mu was going to say some earth-shattering secret at this time.

"Actually, I don't have a driver's license."

Qiao Mu said sadly.

Immediately, between the driver's seat and the passenger's seat, a button made of pieces of paper appeared.

Qiao Mu punched the button.
