Chapter 854: Touring is Hard Work

After lingering for a while, the group descended the Mountain towards the Village.

White Fog shrouded the Mountain Top, and the dense Forest blocked out the sky.

At the edge of the dimly lit Jungle, a long, narrow Suspension Bridge woven from Plant Vines stretched into the distance.

In front of the Suspension Bridge stood a Wooden Plaque, already weathered and dilapidated, on which the Words ‘Fifteen Night Village’ were faintly visible in Black Ink.

The slender and upright Young Man in Black Clothes stepped onto the Suspension Bridge. Beneath his black hair, his calm Eyes silently gazed at the Village faintly visible in the distance. He walked as if on flat Ground, his hands hanging naturally at his sides, step by step, neither hurried nor slow.

Beside the Suspension Bridge, the A Group of People stood frozen in place.

Chi Feichei walked out a few steps, and realizing no one was following, he turned his Head to Look Rear and calmly asked, "What's Wrong?"

What's Wrong?

Fukuura Reiji, Tiantang Qinghua, Iiai Takuto, and Shirafuji Yasumi all turned pale.

This Suspension Bridge was woven from Vine, with Wooden Plank connecting the middle. Its primitiveness made people feel as if they were in the Tropical Rainforest of America. Moreover, the Wooden Plank was so narrow that it could barely fit an Adult's Foot, and there was a thirty-centimeter gap between each Wooden Plank. Looking down from above, one could clearly see the bottomless Cliff below.

Was this Suspension Bridge meant for Humans to walk on?

If one fell, their Corpse would truly never be found.

Conan chuckled dryly, and Kisaki Eri also broke out in a sweat.

They were still wondering how to cross, but Chi Feichei had already naturally walked onto it. They hadn't even had time to call out to Chi Feichei…

Genta, Mitsuhiko, and Ayumi, the three Children, shrank behind Doctor Agasa, craning their necks to Look at Chi Feichei.

Brother Chi looking back from the Suspension Bridge was so eerie.

Haibara Ai sized it up, also getting the Feeling of watching a Horror Movie, and Speak Out, "They don't dare to cross."

"Looking from above, this is the only Road to enter the Village," Chi Feichei Reach Out and tugged at the Vine beside him. "No Need to worry, it's Kudzu Vine."

"Kudzu, Kudzu Vine?" Shirafuji Yasumi was still Stunned.

"Hemp Rope that is poorly woven is not as strong as Kudzu Vine," Conan Say.

"Many Bridges in ancient Japan were woven from Plants. Hissashi walked on it, and these Vines didn't break, so the strength should be enough for people to walk on," Kisaki Eri Say, but she still felt something was off, as if Chi Feichei was being thrown out as a Test Subject. "Cough, but the gap between the Wooden Plank is too wide for Children, making it a bit difficult to cross."

Chi Feichei Turn Around and walked back to the edge of the Suspension Bridge, "Or should you go back?"

"N-No way!" Mitsuhiko hurriedly Say, "If we go, we Go Together."

Fukuura Reiji gritted his Teeth, "We've already come this far, it would be a Pity not to Check out that Village!"

"But…" Iiai Takuto's legs were a little weak.

"Anyway, I'm not going back like this!" Fukuura Reiji insisted.

"Then I'll be responsible for carrying the Children over," Chi Feichei bent down and picked up Haibara Ai. "Those who are not afraid of heights can try to cross by Oneself. When crossing, don't Look Downwards. The gap between the Wooden Boards is the same. As Long As you master the Pace of walking and Look Front, it's very easy to cross."

Iiai Takuto sweated and Say, "Isn't that walking with your Eyes closed?"

"You can walk with your Eyes closed if you want to," Chi Feichei walked towards the Suspension Bridge while holding Haibara Ai. "Ai, don't be afraid, let's hurry."

"Huh?" A bad Premonition suddenly rose in Haibara Ai's Heart, but it was too late for her to Say anything.

Chi Feichei directly started running, landing on two Wooden Plank with each step, quickly running towards the opposite side.

The Suspension Bridge swayed in the air, and Haibara Ai took a moment to Look Downwards, her legs going weak.

Ten seconds!

Chi Feichei put Haibara Ai down and ran back again.

Genta was still in shock when Chi Feichei bent down and picked him up in one swift motion, "Ah! Wait!"

Chi Feichei had already Run Away onto the Suspension Bridge, reaching the other side in ten seconds, putting Genta down, and running back.

Next, Ayumi.

Next, Mitsuhiko.

Next, Conan.

Chi Feichei put Conan down and ran back to the other side of the Suspension Bridge.

Conan and the other four looked at each other.

No one felt scared, because they hadn't even had Time to be scared before they had already crossed.

"Mastering the Pace is very simple," Chi Feichei tried to Communicate with the A Group of People of Adults, but it Seemingly didn't work very well, so he simply Reach Out his Hand and Say, "Teacher's Wife, hold onto me. Tiantang, you hold onto my Teacher's Wife, then Shirafuji. I'll take you across first."

Kisaki Eri Reach Out and grabbed Chi Feichei, her Face pale as she instructed, "Don't Run Away."

"Got it," Chi Feichei waited for the group of Females to form a line, then Say to Fukuura Reiji, Doctor Agasa, and Iiai Takuto, "You follow behind and walk by yourselves. It's okay to be slow, but don't Look at your Feet. If you really can't cross, Stop and wait for me to come and get you."

"Okay, Thank You!" Iiai Takuto sweated and Say.

Chi Feichei spent nearly five minutes, walking slowly, bringing the group of Females across, and then went back to bring Doctor Agasa over.

It was really not Easy, he was like leading a Tour Group.

Fukuura Reiji didn't want to admit defeat, gritted his Teeth and crossed by Oneself, and also pulled Iiai Takuto across, which saved Chi Feichei a lot of effort.

"Ah!" Ayumi suddenly Looked at the Jungle and let out a scream.

"Ayumi?" Conan immediately Looked over, but didn't See anything. "What's Wrong?"

"N-Nothing," Ayumi Staring at the Jungle, frowned and Say, "I Just Now Seemingly Saw a Monster wearing a Bird-Head Mask and draped in Feathers, but it disappeared in a Moment."

Shirafuji Yasumi was made a little nervous by Ayumi's Words, and chuckled dryly, "You're just too nervous, Little Sister."

"Anyway, I'll contact Mr. Wakura…" Kisaki Eri took out her Mobile Phone and Looked around. "Huh? There's no Signal here at all."

The A Group of People could only walk towards the Village first. After passing through the Forest and Rice Paddy, just as they reached the Village Entrance, they were stopped by a twenty-seven or eight-year-old Man in a Police Uniform.

"I am Tushi Yicheng, the resident Police Officer here," the Man took out his Police Badge and showed it to the others. "I heard from the Villagers that A Group of Suspicious Person crossed the Suspension Bridge in the Mountainside and came over. It should be you, right? May I ask where you are from and what brings you here?"

"We are from Tokyo!" Genta eagerly answered.

"I am Mr. Wakura's Lawyer," Kisaki Eri Say politely. "He Seemingly hasn't been feeling well Recently, and I'm in a hurry to Confirm some Problem with him, so I came to find him."

"So you are President Wakura's Lawyer," Tushi Yicheng breathed a sigh of relief, and his originally cold Tone also softened a little, Looking at Chi Feichei and the others, "Then they are…"

"This is my Husband's Disciple," Kisaki Eri Looked at Chi Feichei. "I met them Camping on the Road and asked them Whether or Not they wanted to Keep Company me to come over together. They Seemingly are very Interested in this Village."

"I See," Tushi Yicheng Looked at Chi Feichei's emotionless Face, feeling a little strange, but didn't Look again, Turn Around to lead the way, "Then I'll take you to President Wakura's Villa."

Along the way, Genta, Ayumi, and Mitsuhiko, the three Children, began to ask questions Chattering, and Tushi Yicheng also answered them enthusiastically.

"Police Officer Uncle, are there usually no Outsider coming to this Village?"

"Yes, in recent years, apart from President Wakura's Family, you should still be the First Time group."

"I heard that this Village is related to Mesoamerica Civilization, is it true?"

"This… I'm not sure, but here we worship the Great Bird God."

"Great Bird God?"

"Legend has it that a long time ago, a giant Mockingbird appeared here, attacking Villagers and using Villagers as Sacrifice," Tushi Yicheng Say, Stop, and Looked at a Big Tree Roadside. "This is the Sacrifice Tree for sacrificing to the Great Bird God."

The Big Tree looked like it had been around for many years, over thirty meters tall, growing thick and tall with lush Branches and Leaves. Shimenawa was wrapped around the Tree Trunk, and a sharpened Branch protruded from the middle of the Tree fork.

"As for the Round Log over there, it's called the God-Dwelling Tree." Tushi Yicheng pointed to a section of Round Log not far away. "It is Said that it is the Place where the Great Bird God rests."

That section of Round Log was very thick, and it was not certain that an Adult could hug it. It was placed horizontally, and there were two Base below both ends, like a Bench, and there was a Large Round Stone in front of the Round Log, which looked very strange.

"Because the Mockingbird has a habit of Impalement Small Insect or Frog it catches on Branches, these poor Prey are called the Mockingbird's Sacrifice," Tushi Yicheng Say. "So in the past, the Sacrifice selected by the Village would tightly hug this God-Dwelling Tree and pray to the Great Bird God for a good harvest and no major Disaster in the Village. If the Great Bird God was willing to accept the Prayer, then on the Morning of the next Day, the Sacrifice would be Impalement high on the Branch of the Sacrifice Tree."

Conan looked up, Impalement on that sharpened Branch…

Tiantang Qinghua mentally pictured the Scene of a Corpse hanging above, feeling a little uneasy, "We Seemingly also Saw other God-Dwelling Tree and Sacrifice Tree along the way."

"Yes, there are many Sacrifice Tree like this in the Village," Tushi Yicheng Say.

Fukuura Reiji took photos with his Camera with a clicking sound, "You don't still have live Human Sacrifice here, do you?"

"Haha, how is that Possibility?" Tushi Yicheng laughed and Say, "The Present Statement is that as Long As you hug the God-Dwelling Tree and make a wish, your wish will come true!"

"Really?"

"Then I want to hug it!"

"Is it okay to wish for a hundred Bowls of Eel Rice?"

The three Children ran towards the God-Dwelling Tree.

"Ah…" Kisaki Eri Turn Head and Ask Tushi Yicheng, "Is it okay to rashly touch those Things?"

"It's okay, it's okay," Tushi Yicheng watched the three Children playing beside the God-Dwelling Tree with a smile. "Anyway, in recent years, many Children and Young People in the Village have hugged the God-Dwelling Tree to make wishes, and it is Said to be very effective!"

"Is that so?"

Probably because of the Romantic Bacteria inherent in Females, Tiantang Qinghua, Kisaki Eri, and Shirafuji Yasumi all became Interested.

The A Group of People simply went to the Vicinity of the God-Dwelling Tree, Intention to experience praying to the God Tree first.

Haibara Ai also hugged the God-Dwelling Tree with a serious Face, closed her Eyes for a Moment, and then Get Up to Look at Chi Feichei standing Aside, "Brother Hichiji, aren't you going to make a wish?"

"I don't believe in those Things," Chi Feichei Looked at the Mountains Surrounding Area, calculated the Location, and Look Towards the Southwest Direction. "Mr. Tushi, is there a Shrine about 300 meters past this Direction?"

"Ah? Y-Yes," Tushi Yicheng's Face changed, and he Looked at Chi Feichei again and again, Confirming that he had never Seen Chi Feichei in the Village before. "I haven't measured the distance, it's Probably more than 300 meters, but how did you know?"

Conan also stopped messing around with the God-Dwelling Tree and Looked at Chi Feichei curiously.

Chi Feichei was Still Looking Towards the Southwest Direction. "If these three Mountains Surrounding Area correspond to the Sun Pyramid, Moon Pyramid, and Feathered Serpent Temple of Teotihuacan City, then that Place corresponds to the Quetzalpapálotl Palace of Teotihuacan City, also known as the Bird-Butterfly Palace or Butterfly Palace, which is the Residence of the priests. Here, it should be the Shrine where the priests or Witch are located. Judging from the size of the Buildings here, it should be about 300 meters."

Haibara Ai: "…"

He figured out the Location of the Shrine on his First Time visit, Brother Hissashi is awesome.

Conan was also speechless for a Moment, but quickly Realized a Problem, "Say So, this Village is really related to Mesoamerica Civilization?"

Haibara Ai Looked at Tushi Yicheng.

"This…" Tushi Yicheng Scratch Head and Say with a smile, "The three Mountains Surrounding Area the Village are indeed called Sun Mountain, Moon Mountain, and God-Dwelling Mountain, but I'm not very clear about the rest."
