"Bang bang bang…"
After Takemiya Yu finished studying the enhanced Black Ghost (iPhone), he heard the dull and hurried footsteps.
This made him a little puzzled. It was only noon, so there shouldn't be any customers at this time. Those children who often came to borrow books and play in the secondhand bookstore should also come after dinner in the afternoon.
Even though he was confused, he still packed up and headed to the first floor.
"Uncle Tian Ye!"
When Zhu Gongyu saw the people from the first level, he was stunned.
It was Uncle Tian Ye, the neighbor of the Little Blue Art Museum. He wasn't taking care of the guests in the art museum at this time.
"Huff huff…it's good that you're here, I thought you had something to do and went home.”
Uncle Tian Ye's words were a little hurried. It was obvious that something urgent had happened.
Takemiya Yu quickly poured a glass of water for Uncle Tano. Uncle Tano did not stand on ceremony and gulped it down. Only then did his breathing calm down.
"Uncle Tian Ye, what happened?”
Zhu Gongyu asked in confusion.
"Phew…"
Uncle Tano exhaled and said to Takenomiya Yu,""Stay at home or Zhongyu Secondhand Bookstore today. Don't run around.”
After hearing Uncle Tano's words, Takemiya Yu knew that something big had happened in the usually peaceful Miyama Town.
"Uncle Tano, what exactly happened?" Takenomiya asked again. Could it be that poachers have entered the mountain?"
There were many precious wild animals living in the mountains around Miyama Town, which naturally attracted some illegal poachers. Every week, the residents of Miyama Town spontaneously organized patrols to sweep the mountains. Every few months, they would sweep through the mountains and find many traps for hunting wild animals.
This morning, Uncle Tian Ye had told him not to enter the mountain for the time being. Many of the free-range poultry had died tragically. Takenomiya Yu's first reaction was that poachers had come in again.
"Not a poacher."
Uncle Tian Ye shook his head. If it was a poacher, it was not worth him making such a fuss and informing every house.
"I'm afraid our Miyama Town has entered this time…"
Tano hesitated for a moment, and a hint of fear appeared on his face as he whispered to Takenomiya Yu.
"Unclean things…"
"Unclean thing!"
Zhu Gongyu frowned slightly.
"Yes, do you still remember the tourists you saw this morning?”
"Did something happen to them?"
Zhugong Yu guessed.
Uncle Tian Ye nodded and said," Those tourists didn't listen to my advice and entered the mountain after they finished touring my [Little Blue Art Museum]. For safety reasons, I and a few residents led them in as guides. However, something extremely strange happened after that..."
At this point, the fear on Uncle Tian Ye's face became even stronger.
Takemiya Yu understood that the tourists must have encountered something unexpected.
" Rats, more than ten rats, some as big as humans. They were extremely strong and ferocious, just like the old rats recorded in 'The Night Tales of the Peachwood People: The Picture Book of One Hundred Monogatories'. Those tourists were directly bitten by their necks and taken away, while the few of us escaped death..."
Uncle Tian Ye's face revealed traces of sorrow.
"Your Uncle Chunlang also died in the mouths of those beasts in order to save us.”
When Takemiya Yu heard that Uncle Haruro had died, he felt the same sadness as Uncle Tano. Uncle Haruro was one of the few people in Miyama Town who liked old books, so he naturally knew him very well. He did not expect that he would die in this accident.
However, Takemiya Yu immediately suppressed the sadness in his heart and thought of the abnormally sized rats that Uncle Tano had mentioned.
"A rat as big as a man, old rat!”
Takenomiya Yu couldn't believe it, but Uncle Tano wouldn't use this to make fun of him.
" Could it be that there are really monsters in this world that haven't…"
" Takemiya, we've already called the police. However, the police will arrive tomorrow…"
After saying that, Uncle Tian Ye took out a few yellow talismans and said,"" Uncle, I got this from Inari Shrine in Tokyo last year. Don't forget to paste it on the door of Nakaba Secondhand Bookstore. I hope it's useful."
Although Takemiya Yumi wanted to say that the Inari God, also known as the Uga's Soul God, was a god in charge of harvests, not a god who drove away evil spirits, even if there were really demons coming, he did not believe that he could really rely on a few talismans from the shrine to subdue the demons.
However, he didn't reject it directly. After all, it was Uncle Tian Ye's kind intentions.
After Uncle Tian Ye gave a few more instructions, he did not delay any longer and quickly left. It seemed that he was already in a hurry to inform the others.
After Uncle Tian Ye left…
He looked at the yellow talisman in his hand and at the blazing sun outside.
"Monster…Old Rat…"
He did not know if it was true or not. It was also possible that there were mutated rats in the mountains for special reasons.
No matter what was going on, Miyama Town's safety was indeed threatened. Perhaps he could eliminate the hidden danger ahead of time.
He still didn't believe that the peaceful Miyama Town would be broken by anything else.
