Chapter 506: Chapter 329. Beichuan Si Is Not An Impulsive Person (4000 words)

Shen Gu Mirai moved a bit closer to Beichuan Si.

Beichuan Si’s expression remained unchanged, as if the things Chang Ze Aoba had just mentioned couldn’t cause the slightest ripple of emotion in the young man.

In fact, that was exactly the case; Beichuan Si had made the worst mental preparations before coming.

After all, he had already anticipated many things from his review of the Ihui Shenzi’s diary.

As long as he imagined everything in the worst possible state, nothing that followed would be surprising.

Compared to the surveillance of the islanders, Beichuan Si was more interested in finding out where exactly the parents of Shen Gu Mirai had vanished.

Thinking of this, Beichuan Si drained the water in the glass beside him and then asked, "May I know where exactly Mirai’s parents disappeared?"

Chang Ze Aoba shook his head, sighing heavily, "I don’t mean to discourage you, Mr. Beichuan, but even if you knew the location, you still wouldn’t be able to enter."

Knew the location but still couldn’t enter?

"Could it be that the villagers will obstruct...?" Shen Gu Mirai asked with furrowed brows.

Chang Ze Aoba nodded, "They told us that Mr. Jiro and Ms. Chiharu had been caught up in a trial, and if they could pass the test, they would become the ’Celestial People’ of Ihui Island. During the trial period, no one is allowed to disturb those two."

As he spoke, he grabbed his own hair, his expression full of incomprehension, "Although I know ’Celestial People’ means those who have reached enlightenment, what does it mean to be caught up in a trial? After all, those people have completely blocked off the road to Mikami Forest."

Chang Ze Aoba gave a wry laugh, appearing extremely helpless.

Caught up in a trial?

What did this trial signify?

Beichuan Si’s eyes flickered, and he stood up decisively after pondering for a moment and asked, "Mr. Chang Ze, may I ask if Mirai’s parents disappeared in Mikami Forest?"

"...Yes," Chang Ze Aoba replied without fully understanding what Beichuan Si was trying to imply.

"Then may I ask how to get to Mikami Forest?"

Beichuan Si continued to inquire.

"..." Chang Ze Aoba.

He felt like his previous explanation hadn’t been absorbed by Beichuan Si at all.

Chang Ze Aoba couldn’t help but look up and observe Beichuan Si’s expression.

Beichuan Si met his gaze without retreating.

Perhaps sensing the determination in Beichuan Si’s eyes, Chang Ze Aoba finally let out a heavy sigh, had no choice but to agree, "Alright, I’ll take you to have a look, Mr. Beichuan."

"But I hope you won’t act rashly, and if we really can’t enter from the front, we can pull back for now and collaborate on a plan to enter Mikami Forest."

"I won’t be rash," Beichuan Si replied without any hesitation.

Chang Ze Aoba responded in a low voice.

He could see that Beichuan Si was not a rash person by nature, and the words he had just said were merely a reminder.

Chang Ze Aoba decided to take Beichuan Si to have a look, believing that Beichuan Si wouldn’t act alone, charging at the villagers guarding the entrance to start a brawl.

Moreover, judging by Beichuan Si’s demeanor, he didn’t seem to have the ability to stand up to those villagers who were accustomed to physical labor.

Thinking this, Chang Ze Aoba felt much more at ease.

And just as he let go of his concerns, Beichuan Si suddenly spoke again.

"I’d like to ask about how many residents live on Ihui Island?"

Hm?

What did this question imply?

Chang Ze Aoba opened his mouth, not understanding the purpose behind Beichuan Si’s question, but after thinking for a while, he answered, "Uh... from a surface count, there are probably more than a thousand people living here."

"Only a thousand people?" Beichuan Si squinted his eyes, muttering softly to himself.

"Uh... What did you just say, Mr. Beichuan?" Chang Ze Aoba asked, not quite understanding as he looked at Beichuan Si.

Beichuan Si had spoken so softly just now that Chang Ze Aoba hadn’t heard what Beichuan Si had muttered.

"It’s nothing," Beichuan Si said in a steady voice, "I’m just much reassured about what we’re about to do."

"Is that so?"

Chang Ze Aoba was baffled.

From the conversation they just had, he hadn’t sensed anything particularly reassuring.

But Beichuan Si insisted he was much reassured.

Chang Ze Aoba shook his head to discard these stray thoughts, turned his head to Shen Gu Mirai, and emphasized once more, "Either way, don’t be impulsive, understand? Mirai."

After all, Beichuan Si exuded a very reassuring presence, and now his main worry was that Shen Gu Mirai, being blood-related to Shen Gu Jiro and Shen Gu Chiharu, might do something irrational.

After all, those were Mirai’s blood relatives.

"...I know," Shen Gu Mirai replied.

"Good, let’s go have a look then." Once he received the assurance from Shen Gu Mirai, Chang Ze Aoba resignedly took out his flashlight, ready to lead the two towards Mikami Forest.

It was already seven o’clock in the evening, the sky was a dark blur, making it impossible to see far without assistance, hence the need for flashlights.

It would take about fifteen minutes to walk from here to Mikami Forest, passing through a small mountain forest path. When they completely left behind the world’s noise and clamor, a long path winding up appeared before Beichuan Si and Shen Gu Mirai.

Shimenawa ropes adorned with zigzag-shaped paper streamers were tied between the dark trees on either side, gently swaying in the mountain breeze.

Not far from this path, there were flickering lights.
