"It is said that a long, long time ago, there was a group of undead occupying Moon Shadow Island. They devoured the sunlight and the day, leaving the island with a pitch-black night.”
"Only on the night of the full moon will there be moonlight shining in and illuminating this small island, so this place is also called Moon Shadow Island.”
Wen Haochen said speechlessly," Uncle, I've heard this story before. Is it going to say that if a child is disobedient, the undead will take him away?"”
Could it be that the people living on this island liked to scare children with such fake legends?
It was no wonder that no one was willing to listen to his story now. This kind of story was really not convincing. Even children did not believe it, let alone adults!
"Do you think I'm talking about the kind of legend that scams children?" The old policeman frowned.”
"Isn't it?" Wen Haochen asked.
"Of course not. The latter part is the main point!”The old policeman glared at Wen Haochen who interrupted him and continued,""The undead will gather under the moonlight before the full moon, so that area is also known as the land of the undead by us old people. Living people can't live there.”
"However, as the number of people on the island gradually increased, the remaining land became less and less. The first person who had the idea of going there was Nogami Kaito more than a hundred years ago. It was said that his family was also quite prestigious and wealthy in the local area at that time. Because the family had a large population, they had to build a new house, and that new house was built on the land of the undead.”
"At that time, many people advised him not to build a house there. It was disrespectful to the undead, but he didn't listen at all. After a few years, something really happened. The entire family of the Nogami family was dead, and there was no one left alive in the house.”
If Wen Haochen did not have any expectations for this story at the beginning, then when he heard this, he began to take it seriously.
If what the old policeman said was true, then this island might really be famous!
" No one dared to continue living on the island after such a big incident," the old policeman continued." Therefore, the place has been vacant for many years." Previously, the house of the Nogami family had been destroyed by a sudden fire. After that, no one dared to live there anymore.”
"But there will always be many people in this world who are not afraid of death, such as Aso Keiji!”
"His family is also an old man on the island. Later, because Aso Keiji liked music, he went abroad. When he came back from abroad, his family's original land had already been occupied by others.”
"The one who occupied that piece of land was his former good friend, Tortoise Mountain Yong.”
"Isn't that the former village chief?" Wen Haochen asked in confusion.”
"It's him. I didn't expect you to know.”The old policeman glanced at Wen Haochen and continued,""Aso Keiji was originally very angry, but Kameyama Isamu and a few other boys who grew up with Aso Keiji pondered together and somehow chose to build a house in the Land of the Undead.”
"I tried to dissuade them back then, but they all said that my thinking was old-fashioned and outdated. I even said that those were all feudal superstitions and were not worth believing at all. In short, no one believed my words at all.”
When he said this, the old policeman's face was full of loneliness.
It was obvious that he wanted Aso Keiji to leave that place, but he did not manage to do so.
As for Aso Keiji, Wen Haochen had also heard of him. Not long ago, it was the bespectacled man who mentioned him. If he remembered correctly, he seemed to have killed his wife and children and burned himself to death, right?
Originally, Wen Haochen only thought that the person had suddenly lost his mind and wanted to commit suicide. Now, it seemed that there were many suspicious points in this matter!
The old policeman continued," It was just as I expected. The house of the Aso Keiji family had just been built. After they moved in, something happened. Aso Keiji killed his wife and daughter and set a fire. He was still playing the piano in the fire.”
"But this has nothing to do with the piano. It's all because the house was built on the Land of the Undead. So, you should understand now that the story I told you is not something to lie to children!”
After saying this, the old policeman let out a long breath. It was as if he was also in fear when he said these terrifying things.
Wen Haochen nodded. He felt that this Moon Shadow Island was quite something. No wonder Yamada recommended him to come here.
If he hadn't come here, he wouldn't have heard such a comprehensive legend.
Most people would probably only know the first half of the story like Asai Narumi. It was impossible for them to understand it so clearly.
Yamada, who was far away in Tokyo, couldn't help but sneeze and whisper,""Who's talking bad about me? But I don't remember offending anyone recently. He wondered how Teacher Hao Chen was doing and if he had collected the materials he needed. Although the legend of Moon Shadow Island was a little old-fashioned, if he used it as a foundation to adapt it, with his level, he would definitely be able to write a very good story!”
On Moon Shadow Island.
Wen Haochen and the old policeman walked together on the way to the Land of the Undead. In fact, the old policeman was resistant in his heart.
However, Wen Haochen said that if he didn't see it with his own eyes, he still couldn't believe these rumors.
The old policeman had no choice but to agree to bring him over to take a look.
There were no more houses in the Land of the Undead. After Aso Keiji died, most of the houses here were burned down. Although the firefighters arrived later and put out the fire, the houses became especially fragile.
In addition, because someone had died here, no one was willing to live here. Therefore, more than ten years ago, the houses here had collapsed.
From the looks of it, this place was more like a pile of ruins than a land of the undead!
