The nights on Moon Shadow Island were not as bright as in Tokyo. The street lights here only shone on some main roads, and the gaps between the street lights were also very large.
Walking on the road, he felt like he was surrounded by darkness.
Fortunately, there was someone by his side, so Wen Haochen did not appear timid. However, he was a little curious."Asai-san, don't you feel scared living in such an environment every day?”
"Afraid?" Kazumi Asai asked doubtfully.
"It's just that it's too dark at night or something, because the girls I know seem to be quite afraid of the dark.”Wen Haochen asked curiously.
Kazumi Asai laughed and said,""So that's what you're referring to. It's true that many girls are afraid of the dark, but I shouldn't be included because I'm a doctor!”
" Uh…" Wen Haochen was speechless.
Doctors and being afraid of the dark, what was the direct connection between these two things?
However, Wen Haochen only attributed this to the boldness of Asai Narumi and did not take it to heart.
The two of them came to a ramen restaurant. There was indeed no good food to speak of on such an island.
Kazumi Asai was obviously a regular here. He ordered two bowls of ramen skillfully before asking curiously,"I wonder what kind of genre Haochen Jun is writing. Is there anything I can help you with? Maybe I can help!"
"I want to write about the supernatural. Actually, I'm not good at this topic. It's just the editor's request. By the way, does Asai-san know anything about the legend of this island? It didn't matter if it was true or hearsay.”Wen Haochen asked.
"I see. I do know a legend about this island, which is the origin of its name. Do you know why this place is called Moon Shadow Island?”Kazumi Asai smiled slightly. For some reason, Wen Haochen felt that there was some malice in her smile.
Wen Haochen still shook his head subconsciously. If he hadn't heard about it from Yamada, he probably wouldn't have known about the Moon Shadow Island.
Of course, he had never heard of the legend of this place.
Kazumi Asai lowered his voice and said,""It is said that many years ago, this place was once shrouded in darkness. Even during the day, there was no light. Only when the moon appeared at night would there be a faint shadow of the moon. That was why this place was called the Moon Shadow Island.”
"And this place wasn't a place for living people in the past. Those who could live on Moon Shadow Island were all wandering undead. Whenever there was a full moon, the undead would appear under the moonlight and absorb its power.”
"In two days, it will be the full moon, right?”
Wen Haochen was speechless.
This kind of legend sounded like a legend. There was no truth to it.
If the undead really existed, why would some people disappear completely after a period of time after being murdered?
If there were undead in this world, wouldn't he not need to look for fresh souls everywhere? He could just wait for the undead to come to him?
Seeing Wen Haochen's helpless expression, Kazumi Asai smiled and said,""I know that this legend sounds very fake. In fact, I don't really believe it either.”
"Yes, this kind of legend is probably told to those children. For example, if you didn't listen, there would be undead coming to capture you.”Wen Haochen said with a bitter smile.
"Hehe." Kazumi Asai laughed coquettishly. It was as if she had been hit on the funny spot and could not stop at all.
"Then, have there been any real cases? The kind that sounds more terrifying?" Wen Haochen asked again.”
"How could such a terrifying thing happen on our island? Moreover, I've only been on this island for more than two years. If you want to know more, you can go and talk to the village chief. If they knew that you were a great writer, they might treat you very warmly!”Narumi Asai said mischievously.
"Alright, I'll go over and try it tomorrow.”Wen Haochen nodded. Anyway, he was here to collect stories. It was the same no matter who he asked.
And just as Asai Narumi said, she had not been on this island for long, so it was normal for her to not know some things.
After resting in the hotel for a night, Wen Haochen went to the Citizen Hall the next day to pay his respects to the village chief.
However, when he arrived, he did not see the village chief. Instead, there were many people shouting outside.
"What's going on?" Wen Haochen muttered to himself in confusion.
"And you are?" A voice sounded from the side, attracting Wen Haochen's attention.
"Hello, my name is Wen Haochen. I'm a novelist. I'm here to find material for my novel. May I know who you are?" Wen Haochen asked curiously.
Seeing that this person could easily enter and leave the Citizen Hall, he should be a staff member here. At the very least, he should have a very high status.
Wen Haochen did not have to go to the village chief. As long as he could find someone to inquire about some local rumors or stories, it was enough for him.
"My surname is Shimizu, and my name is Masato Shimizu. I am currently a candidate for the position of village chief.”
"So it's Mister Qingshui." Wen Haochen didn't expect that he would be in time for the village chief election here. However, this kind of rural thing shouldn't be written into his novel, right?
Could it be that he wanted to write it as a village supernatural?
Thinking about it, it was quite exciting?
"If I provide you with a theme, will it have a promotional effect on our Moon Shadow Island?" Masato Shimizu smiled and nodded.”
"I think so." Wen Haochen said hesitantly.
As a novelist, how could he know if it would have any promotional effect?
However, with the influence of the literary era, it should still be of some use!
"That's good. If you have anything you want to know, please feel free to ask me. As long as I know, I'll tell you.”Masato Shimizu immediately became very enthusiastic. It was obvious that he really hoped that this island could become more and more prosperous.
Wen Haochen did not stand on ceremony. The two of them sat on the sofa and began to discuss.
The most important thing was, of course, the bizarre things that had happened on this island, as well as some terrifying legends.
