Chapter 50 Chapter Twenty-Five

The suspicious man was hunched like an old man, pacing up and down in the grass with the faint light of a small flashlight, looking for something.Since his flashlight was directed forward, it made him a black silhouette, and occasionally a pale ghost.When he switched the flashlight to the other hand, the swaying light made the surrounding branches suddenly turn into creepy creatures with claws and claws, and even the flashlight light would directly shine on me. Whenever this time, I would Subconsciously shrunk behind the tree trunk. But no matter what, the light of the flashlight is very weak after all, and it is held in the opponent's hand, so it is really difficult to use the light to see the opponent's appearance clearly.I chose an absolutely safe position, like an old hunter approaching prey, skillfully shuttled between the shelters, and approached step by step in stealth.

In the middle of the night, looking for things in the forest is really against common sense, not to mention that the other party is an urban man who should not appear in this barren mountain and wilderness, it is really puzzling.I immediately thought of the mysterious man Kono chased and lost a few nights ago, and suspected that the person in front of me was that person. However, I just couldn't see his face clearly.I have come to a place only one room away from him, but because I am in the dark, I still can't see clearly.Fortunately, there was a strong wind that night, and the forest made all kinds of noises. Even if I made a little noise, I didn’t have to worry about being heard. It may be because of this that the other party didn’t notice me, and just focused on searching around.

After a long time, I patiently observed the man's actions by flicking the flashlight light from side to side.In the end, maybe he couldn't find it no matter how hard he looked, the man finally gave up. He straightened up and turned off the flashlight. There was a rustling sound under his feet, it seemed that he was about to leave.I thought I couldn't lose track, so I immediately caught up.Since it was pitch black all around, I could only identify his position by the sound of his footsteps on the grass, but as I said just now, the wind was too loud at the time, and I couldn't really catch the footsteps, and I was scared, and I didn't know where he was. Familiar with this kind of tracking tricks, I don't know what to do.Just when I was hesitating, I couldn't even hear the slight footsteps around me, and I was left alone in the darkness.

If I tracked him down to this point and let the other party run away, all my painstaking efforts would be in vain.He's not going to escape into the forest, is he?He shouldn't have noticed that I was watching secretly from the sidelines, and he must have gone in the direction of the street.As soon as I thought of this, I immediately ran to the village road in front of the lakeside pavilion. This is a village in the mountains. Except for the hotel, there is no light on in any house, and there are no people on the dark streets.From a distant place came the music of the village youths playing the Oibugi and Shakuhachi. Although clumsy and naive, the tone was very sad, and it was carried far away by the wind.

I stood on the road and stared at the forest for a while.Looking from here, the forest looks like a huge monster, ups and downs in the strong wind, and the appearance is even more amazing. I didn't expect that at this moment, an inexplicable homesickness would arise in my heart.No matter how long he waited, the mysterious figure just now showed no signs of leaving the forest. About ten minutes later, I finally gave up, but I felt unwilling, so I once again thought of visiting Kono, and if he was there, I would invite him to look for it in the forest.After making up my mind, I rushed into the hotel entrance panting, even taking off my shoes hastily.I ran down the corridor and slammed the paper door open as soon as I got to his room.
