"..."Ogasawara was silent for a moment, nodded very slowly, and said, "Indeed.In mid-July, Showa 54, Yuanke Village held the Yuanke Festival in accordance


    with the usual customs.Everything is executed according to the plan of the Hiratsuka family,However, when the Mu-hermit chooses the candidate for karma, a deviation


    occurs.My brother Ryosuke Fujimura, replaced me. "Li Ang nodded, "I know,We investigated the Fujimura’s house,It was discovered that Ryosuke Fujimura was originally named Matsuoka, which


    is your mother''s surname.He is your uncle''s son. ""...Yes."Ogasawara took a deep breath and said, "When we were young, we were similar in


    height and weight, and looked very similar.On that day, all villagers and foreign tourists need to wear noodles,I didn’t remember anything before, it was the first time I participated in the


    Fate Ceremony.Because I was naughty and playful, I exchanged kimonos with Ryosuke and wanted


    to see if others could find our difference.As a result, other people, including my mother, found no abnormalities and


    watched the shrine performance as usual.Out of a certain disappointment, I quietly left the shrine by myself in the


    middle of the performance, that is, before the effect of Guiquan Jiu took


    effect.It happened to stagger the time when the Hiratsuka family secretaries entered


    the shrine,My mother, and Ryosuke, whom she thought was me, were taken to the Guiquan


    Well for a karma ceremony.In the end, the ritual failed, and Huang Quanguo’s grievances could not be


    calmed down. Instead, it spewed wantonly and slaughtered everyone in Yuanke


    Village.Yuanke Village itself was also involved in the inexplicable area at the


    junction of Changshi and Huangquan.All this is my responsibility, and now, it is time to correct. "He lifted one of the twine ropes and slowly said: "I need, and I am destined


    to die here.Only when I sink into the abyss can the Karma Sacrifice get back on track. "He took a deep look at the two of them, and said complicatedly: "When you were


    eight years old, I went to investigate Yuanke Village, but I fell into it and


    missed your growth.I am a selfish, unqualified father.Take this key, you guys go quickly, before it''s too late. "Mr. Ogasawara took out a strange-shaped key from the black hair on his body.


    "This key can open the trap door in the backyard of the Fujimura family, and


    through the trap door, you can pass directly to the outside world.The other side of the trapdoor was sealed by the strange power lingering above


    Yuanke Village,After I finish the Karma Ritual, I should be able to seal the Yellow Spring


    again so that the other side of the trap door can be opened. "Following the words of General Ogasawara, the entire underground space began


    to tremble again, a large amount of yellow sand and dust fell, and the entire


    space seemed to collapse in the next second.Under such circumstances, Li Ang did not panic at all. As a result, he waved


    the key and said, "No hurry.What I want to know is, didn''t you escape from Yuanke Village in a state of


    amnesia? Do you remember these things yourself? ""Ok."Ogasawara said: "I really lost all my childhood memories, I only remember that


    I was covered with dirt on my body, walking in the forests of Okamori County.Later adopted by the Ogasawara family,Because of some kind of secret feelings and the memory fragments that often


    troubled me, I eventually became a folklorist when I became an adult and came


    into contact with news from Yuanke Village.I...like you, walked into the forests of Gangsen County and entered the


    remains of Yuanke Village.I came into contact with things I was familiar with before, slowly recovered


    my previous memories, collected a lot of clues, and tried to restore the truth


    of all events.However, he was also tightly bound by Yuan Ke Village, unable to escape, and


    became what it is now, sometimes sober and muddled, losing his reason.After I found out that you had entered Yuanke Village, I was afraid that I


    would hurt you, so I went down to Guiquan Well and prepared to take the last


    step to end all this. ""Is that so."Li Ang nodded and said calmly: "I want to know Shuhei Fujimura''s role in this


    incident.Most villagers and tourists attend the Fate Ceremony, so why didn’t he stay


    with your mother and son? ""...Because he is a noodle master."Ogasawara explained: "The Fujimura family has always been a family that makes


    Noh noodles in the village.We are responsible for using special wood, that is, trees irrigated with


    Guiquan well water, to carve the noodles.Such a mask itself will be contaminated with the abnormality of the water of


    the return spring,When it is worn on the face of a Noh performer, it can cooperate with the


    dance and singing of the performer to further amplify the hallucinogenic


    ability of Guiquanjiu and immerse everyone in it.That day, an actor''s Noh face was slightly damaged, so he went backstage for


    temporary maintenance. ""At this point, I believe you,"Li Ang nodded and said: "But I think this is not the whole truth.""Ok?"Ogasawara was taken aback when he heard it, "What did you say...""As you said just now, only two people with strong and inseparable emotional


    fetters can trigger the Karma Sacrifice correctly and complete the seal of the


    Yellow Spring."Li Ang said, "Why can you guarantee that after you sink into the abyss, you


    can complete the seal?""...Because she is still alive."Ogasawara was silent for a moment, and pointed to the metal box hanging on the


    edge of the cliff, "Due to the deviation of the ritual, my mother has always


    been in a state of neither life nor death, and no perception of the outside


    world.In the past few years, I wanted to put an end to all of this, but I couldn''t


    bear her and my father beside Guiquanjing.It has been delayed until now.If you use me as a sacrifice, then you can reactivate the Karma Sacrifice...""and many more."Wang Congshan raised her hand and said: "Karma sacrifice requires two people


    with strong and inseparable emotional bonds, right?This kind of cruel and evil ritual will kill two people every four years.For a remote and closed village, the manpower consumption is too great, and it


    is difficult to ensure that it can be enough every four years.It is for this reason that the Hiratsuka family has to hold a fate celebration


    with great fanfare, publicize it, invite tourists, and even invite your


    teacher, the same famous folklorist, to the mansion.Those foreign tourists are also candidates for the Karma Festival, right?Because of the peculiar mythology of Yuanshan, every year there are many


    people who have no interest in life and have aspirations to go up to Yuanshan,


    and have disappeared since then.Even if he disappears occasionally, it won''t cause much suspicion. "Seeing Ogasawara nodded and acknowledged, Wang Congshan continued: "Then the


    fate festival between Fujimura Masumi and Fujimura Ryosuke should not fail.According to your statement, it is not mandatory to have a blood relationship


    for a karma ceremony. Brothers and sisters, lovers, and even friends can all


    be effective.Fujimura Masumi and Fujimura Ryosuke are the mother and son~~


    and Fujimura Masumi also regards Ryosuke as you.How could it fail? ""..."Ogasawara''s words suddenly got stuck and stood silently."If I didn''t guess wrong, most of what you told us is correct, but you lied on


    the key issue.And this kind of lie is not to protect yourself, but to protect another


    person. "Wang Congshan said lightly: "The real reason for the failure of the Karma


    Festival lies in Masumi Fujimura, right?She clearly knew that the adopted Ryosuke was taken away, not you.Even after the effect of Guiquan Wine faded and the memory surged, I didn''t


    feel too strong pain and regret.Even guessing in a darker and narrower direction, it is not impossible that


    all of this comes from her planning. "
