c237 Extra volume:——On the possibility of crows scavenging
…
“Gah! Karma——!”
A few crows flew above the town street, and beneath them were pedestrians flowing in the river.
He lowered his head and looked at the members of the Demon Slayer Squad with his sharp red eyes.
“Gah!” He flapped his wings, controlled his speed, and flew directly above the few people in an unhurried manner.
street side.
Kimura, Kamado Sumire, Purgatory and Juro were walking side by side, following closely behind Shang Quanna.
At this time, Kimura was constantly explaining to Shang Izuna the results they had obtained during this period:
“…Well, according to the information I found before, the rumors of nearby ghosts started spreading from a hunter on the edge of town.”
Kimura held a small notebook. He looked through the contents and said according to his own logic:
“The reason is…the hunter took his children up the mountain to teach hunting, but in the end, only the children ran back at night.”
“The child was very frightened. We tried, but he couldn’t communicate normally.”
When Kimura said this, Kamado Sumire on the side lowered her head slightly, her face seemed to become a little regretful and helpless.
But this helplessness slowly turned into anger in Shang Quannai’s peripheral vision.
Kimura still continued:
“The child would only occasionally pop out a few words from his mouth, such as ‘black shadow’, ‘so fast’, ‘run’, ‘ghost’ and the like… But we have no clue at all.”
Kimura put away his little notebook, put his hand on his chin, and pretended to be thinking, and said in a depressed voice:
“Later, we also went to that mountain to investigate.”
“I also took the crow and circled back and forth around the mountain several times.”
“In the end, no trace of the ghost was found.”
At this time, Kamado Sumire on the side took over the topic very naturally. She raised her head, looked at Shang Quanna’s back and said:
“But a lot of animal tracks were found.”
“The site is very cluttered and difficult to distinguish, but you can still see bear-like paw prints.”
“So, now we speculate that the hunter may have just encountered a creature like a bear…and suffered misfortune…rather than a ghost.”
While listening to Kimura’s words, Shang Quanna adjusted his direction and walked towards the only barren mountain nearby.
He looked left and right at the gradually fewer pedestrians on both sides of the street and the compact houses in the town streets that were slowly disappearing. He looked ahead and asked:
“The hunter has been missing for a few days.”
“Today is already the third day.” Kimura answered quickly, and he said immediately:
“When we went to the mountain to investigate, it happened to be yesterday, the second day after he disappeared.”
“Today, I only went to pick up Heshourou from the prison… and didn’t do anything more useful.”
Shang Quannai nodded slightly and pondered the time.
If that hunter was dragged away by animals and used as food.
Considering that many mammals have the instinct to store food, there should still be residual body parts the day after the disappearance.
Thinking of this, Shang Quannai said directly to the people behind him:
“So, you have found the body of the hunter, right?”
“…Eh?”
Kamado Sumire was stunned for a moment. She obviously did not expect that Shang Quanna would ask this question, and she naturally did not think of this level.
After hesitating for a moment, she turned her head and looked at Purgatory, Jujuro and Kimura on the side.
Then, Kimura turned his head and said in a forced tone:
“Actually…not really.”
Hear this.
Shang Quannai hesitated slightly as he moved forward, and he suddenly became confused.
No body found…?
Kimura didn’t notice the confusion on Shang Quannai’s face with his back to them, but continued to say helplessly:
“We… did have the idea of looking for the body. After all, finding the body can completely verify our speculation…”
He smiled bitterly, lowered his head slightly, his expression looked helpless:
“It’s just that the area within that mountain is too large, and it’s too difficult to find a body in it… In the end, our plan was just an idea.”
After listening to Kimura’s words while walking, Shang Quanna frowned slightly.
Snap.
He suddenly stopped and stood still.
boom!
“Ah…!” Purgatory and Shou Lang looked straight ahead, and were caught off guard and bumped into Shang Quan Nai’s back.
Then, slowly staggered backward twice.
Shang Quannai slowly turned around. He looked at the three people behind him, his eyes hidden in black gradually turned scarlet, and he speculated a little in his heart.
And sighed slightly.
The three people in front of them were indeed lacking in experience, and their cooperation with their teammates was not very tacit.
Even the cooperation with the Eagle Crow is not very good.
Leave the job of finding corpses to the eagle crow!
Although the crow can talk, his essence is still a crow.
He looked at Kimura, and after a slight hesitation, he spoke softly:
“Kimura.”
Kimura was immediately shocked. He immediately raised his head and looked at Shang Quannai calmly:
“I’m here, Mr. Kamizumi.”
Then, Shang Quanna looked at Kimura, and his eyes slowly moved from Kimura to the other two people next to him.
Then, he said word by word:
“Although the raven can speak human words, it is actually a type of raven.”
He sighed secretly:
“They are scavengers.”
boom!
These words, like a thunderbolt, stopped Kimura in place.
Kimura opened his mouth slightly, his frown relaxed, and he felt a little confused in his mind.
Yes, crows, crows, ravens, they are all scavengers…
These birds are supposed to have an excellent sense of smell for carrion.
Moreover, for some reason, the crow’s perception ability is far superior to that of other birds!
Even in a dense forest – one can easily detect carrion from a distance.
This is what I have learned!
Thinking of this, Kimura’s pupils shrank.
So, if there are rotting corpses in that mountain!
——The crow can also be discovered!
“…I know, I know!”
His eyes were straight, his hands were moving up and down slightly, he kept repeating his words and nodded: “So that’s it…!”
Kimura looked up at Shang Quannai, and he suddenly felt like he was awakened from the haze.
“Mr. Ueizumi, that’s what it is!”
Shang Quannai didn’t react, he just felt it.
Some authorities are confused about these three children.
After Kimura started to growl and growl for a while, Sumire Kamado, Purgatory and Juro who were standing beside her began to become a little worried.
“…Hey, Kimura, are you okay?” Sumire Kamado reached out hesitantly, patted Kimura’s shoulder lightly, and asked, “It’s okay…”
“Why did you suddenly…”
“I see!”
Kimura suddenly raised his head and shouted loudly, which frightened Kamado Sumire who was standing aside. The rational appearance of the past was gone forever.
“Hey!” Sumire Kamado was frightened by Kimura who suddenly raised her head and yelled. She shrank back and withdrew her hand that patted Kimura’s shoulder as if she was electrocuted.
Kimura raised his head and looked at the crows hovering in the sky. His chest rose and fell slightly, and then he shouted:
“Hokukai Taro! Come down quickly!”
Hearing these words, one of the crows that were circling in the sky suddenly stopped in place, lowered its head and looked at Kimura below.
Then, he folded his wings and swooped down directly in the direction of Kimura:
“Gah——!”
Whoosh!
As the wind pressure pressed against the sides of the crow’s folded wings, the ground came closer and closer.
Until it’s almost close to the ground.
boom!
The bird suddenly opened its wings, and continued to fall for a while with the force of its downward thrust, and then stopped firmly.
After fluttering his wings a few times, he landed on Kimura’s shoulder:
“Hey, Kimura boy, what’s the matter?”
When Kimura saw his eagle crow, he quickly asked:
“Kitai Taro, when you went back to the mountain yesterday, did you smell the smell of rotten flesh?”
“As long as the smell of rotten flesh is present, other rotten smells are not included.”
After saying that, Kimura looked at his bird with expectant eyes.
On the side, Naosen Nana gently rubbed Kamado Sumire’s head, comforting her who was frightened and wanted to carry out humanitarian destruction to Kimura.
When the turtle named “Taro Beihai” heard this, his head twitched as he looked left and right, and then he thought about it and said:
“Well, Kimura boy, I’m sorry…I don’t smell any rot.”
Afterwards, Kitaka Taro continued Kimura’s topic:
“And if there is a smell of rot in that area, I will naturally tell you, karma.”
Hearing this, Kimura’s eyes became a little dim, and his low tone contained regret and apology:
“…That’s it. Thank you, Kitakai Taro.”
“Gah, there’s no need to thank you. This is your job. Karma.” Taro Beihai waved his wings happily.
Kimura didn’t respond this time, and his brows were frowning tightly.
–matter.
——It’s almost clear.
The three of them took Yiyao around the mountain several times, but Yiyao said nothing and found nothing…
Doesn’t that mean there is no rotten meat in the mountains?
As for ordinary carnivores, after eating, they will eat cleanly.
——It is also often unavoidable to leave residual minced meat at the bone seams and various places, eventually forming carrion.
It’s summer now, and it’s very hot in a dense forest. Meat left in the wild will quickly become smelly.
Yesterday was the second day after the hunter disappeared. If he was dragged away by animals and could not be eaten clean by insects, how could there be no rotting smell…
Therefore – the possibility that the hunter was dragged away by an animal is ruled out!
Just when Kimura frowned tightly and lowered his head, he was all alone in his head.
A cry ranging from light to heavy came from my ears:
“Kimura!!”
Kimura was startled. He came to his senses and turned to look at Purgatory and Jujuro who were shouting at him.
Purgatory and Jujuro looked at Kimura very energetically. He looked concerned about his companions:
“What happened just now? Are you feeling unwell? You look ugly!”
Kimura looked at the faces of Purgatory and Juro who were close at hand, as well as Kamado Sumire, who was following Purgatory and Juro and was looking towards them.
He took a deep breath and calmed down.
Then, he informed the two of them one by one of his thoughts.
…
“So…” Kamado Sumire listened to Kimura’s words. She thought for a while and then put forward her own idea:
“There are only two possibilities left for where that Orion is going now, right?”
Kimura nodded and affirmed:
“That’s right.”
“He’s either alive now.”
“Either…you really encountered a ghost.”
As he spoke, Kimura’s expression dimmed slightly. He lowered his head and his mood became heavy:
“But… the probability of surviving is probably very small.”
The next moment, Kamado Sumire raised a new question:
“So…if it was abducted by ghosts, why didn’t we find any traces of ghosts around that mountain?”
…
Kimura and Kamado Sumire were arguing fiercely.
Purgatory and Shou Lang stood aside, silent but looking back and forth quickly, like people from another world.
Purgatory and Jujuro maintained their energetic appearance. He was the main combat force in the team. For him, he only needed to listen to this kind of careful thinking.
Therefore, he looked around generously.
After a glance.
He simply looked at Shang Quannai beside him.
Shang Quannai nodded slightly as he looked at the discussion among several people.
——Although their ideas are still very immature, they are making progress.
As for whether it is a real ghost, I am not in a hurry to make a conclusion yet.
It’s daytime now, and it’s only just dawn.
It’s still early before ghosts can move.
Just as he was thinking expectantly, he suddenly caught a glimpse of Purgatory and Shourou looking directly at him.
stare–
Purgatory and Juro didn’t hold back at all.
His eyes were as bright as red flames.
Shang Quanna couldn’t help but glance at Heshou Lang a few more times, and felt a little strange about the child.
——This child.
——Would you be fooled by Jinjuro during the bonfire party?
At this time.
The other two people on the side also discussed the results.
“…Could it be that when we arrived, the ghost had already left the vicinity of the mountain?”
“…possible…”
“At the speed of a ghost…you can already run a long distance in one night…”
After some discussion.
Kimura ran over.
“Mr. Kamiizumi!” Kimura wiped the sweat from his forehead. In his other hand, he held a newly compiled notebook with a lot of things already written on it.
“It should be the behavior of an evil ghost, and I’m afraid that ghost has left the area long ago!”
“We…want to see that mountain again!”
Kimura was panting slightly. As soon as he discussed something, he would instinctively use the breathing rhythm for a short time. At this moment, he was out of breath:
“This time.”
His eyes became heavy:
“We are prepared to pursue him in the most likely direction.”
…
…
at the same time.
the other side.
In a dark cave.
“Pfft!”
The blurry huge thin figure was hunched over and squeezed into the narrow cave, seeming to be chewing something in its mouth.
If you look carefully, you’ll see it.
At the ends of this figure’s limbs, there are fleshy pads wrapped thickly and thickly like hair.
In the dim environment, the scarlet eyes of the figure were revealed.
