Chapter 516: Chapter 334. Restarting Izumi Shrine (4000 words)

The next day, Beichuan Si rose early from bed.

He first scanned the surrounding environment and did not notice anything unusual; there was no scene of villagers surrounding the vacant house as he had imagined.

It seemed that last night’s intrusion into Mikami Forest was just a minor matter not worth mentioning.

Was it Ihui Nai Luo?

Beichuan Si mumbled to himself, squinting his eyes.

Now it appeared that the status of the Great Heavenly Person of Ihui Nai Luo was much higher than he had anticipated.

But in any case, what Beichuan Si had to do today would not change—

to send the entire Shen Gu family away.

He had already reconnected with a yacht, which would arrive and anchor near the harbor before long. Once the Shen Gu family was sent away, Beichuan Si would have many more actions he could take.

After all, without having to worry about the Shen Gu family, as long as he remained on the island, he would certainly be able to thoroughly investigate everything that was hiding in the dark.

However, it was still best to be cautious.

After all, the long-standing customs of Yihui Island had been passed down for a long time, and there could be some means to restrain him.

Beichuan Si was not a man easily swayed by arrogance, always acting after considerable thought. In situations like this, where he still could not grasp the other party’s tactics, it was more prudent to be cautious—

He was, after all, a cautious person.

With that thought, Beichuan Si stopped his contemplations and turned back into the vacant house.

By this time, the entire Shen Gu family had also gotten up.

Their timing for waking was just right, and they did not create any situation similar to that with Beichuan Huili.

After exchanging morning greetings, they hurriedly ate some canned food and then prepared to leave.

During this time, Chang Ze Aoba, who had already awoken from his stupor, was flushed with a red face, trying to argue a couple of excuses hoping to convince Shen Gu Jiro and Shen Gu Chiharu to let him off.

Watching the other party kneel down to kowtow and promise to confess everything, Shen Gu Jiro responded with a calm expression:

"I don’t know what kind of benefits the Yihui Island residents promised you, nor do I want to know. Chang Ze, you can say the rest to the police and Mr. Ueda’s family."

Mr. Ueda was probably the investigator who had been trapped in Mikami Forest. Now thinking about it, Chang Ze Aoba might also be the reason for the other’s tragic death.

Shen Gu Jiro did not resort to any violent measures, simply giving a brief instruction and then turning to Beichuan Si: "Mr. Temple, I have some investigation materials about Ihui Island here. Since we’ve decided to leave, these materials are no longer significant for Chiharu and me to keep. I’ll hand them over to you, hoping they can help with your actions to come."

Beichuan Si’s expression shifted.

He had been planning to ask Shen Gu Jiro for their investigation materials, but before he could bring it up, the other party very considerately handed everything over.

Beichuan Si took the white folder that Shen Gu Jiro pulled out of the large duffel bag and stuffed it into his backpack without a glance.

Once Shen Gu Jiro left, he would have plenty of time to read through these materials; there was no hurry at the moment.

After finishing up, Shen Gu Chiharu also coughed twice, tugging Beichuan Si aside and whispered to him: "Although Chang Ze didn’t directly reveal what benefits the Yihui Island residents promised him, Jiro and I actually know—"

There was a moment of seriousness on her usually nonchalant face:

"I suspect the Ihui Island residents... or perhaps an important person from Ihui offered him benefits related to a curse that exists only in the legends surrounding the Divine Tree... that curse, if Jiro and I are not mistaken, is probably the most widely circulated legend among the villagers here about reincarnation... the spell of reincarnation."

Reincarnation?!

Even Beichuan Si felt a chill.

Someone among Yihui Island’s residents had mastered the spell of reincarnation?

"After all, it’s just a legend. Jiro and I haven’t confirmed it yet..."

At this point, Shen Gu Chiharu shrugged her shoulders and said with a playful smile: "If someone could really master the spell of reincarnation, wouldn’t that mean immortality? Ah, there can’t be such a spell without direct consequences. We have records in the material; you’ll see it soon enough. As for everything else, there’s nothing much to say."

Shen Gu Chiharu clearly didn’t take the legend seriously.

After all, it was a spell capable of bringing about reincarnation.

If it were truly possible to manipulate it at will, that would be too far-fetched.

The mechanisms within it would be much more difficult than just talking about it.

They had basically said all they wanted to say.

Except for one person—

Beichuan Si looked towards Shen Gu Mirai, who was on the other side, tilting her head and staring at Beichuan Si in a daze.

When Shen Gu Mirai saw Beichuan Si turn his head, a natural blush spread across her face, and she immediately turned her head away, no longer looking at Beichuan Si.

It seemed that Shen Gu Mirai intended to stay silent.

Beichuan Si withdrew his gaze.

It was almost time to set sail.

The group decided to head to the harbor right now.

But—

Who would have thought that upon arriving at the harbor, they would encounter such a scene?

Beichuan Si stood still, his black eyes surveying the area.

People...

It was people...

The already small dock was occupied by villagers dressed in traditional Japanese sea folk attire.

As soon as they saw Beichuan Si and Shen Gu Mirai’s group, they all turned their heads, watching them with a very wary gaze.

Not far from the dock, a yacht was moored about several tens of meters away from the pier.
