Chapter 106. Go to the newspaper office——
"What's going on with this journal number?" Kitakawaji glanced at the journal number as he was just now.
The issue of the Shenzhu Village newspaper that started just now was the 58th issue, but this edition of the newspaper jumped directly to the 59th issue and came to the 60th issue.
Kitakawaji stood up and searched.
61,62,64
Some of them are missing later.
‘It just happened that 59 issues were missing.’
Kitakawaji sighed slightly, but his expression was still restrained and he turned around to read 60 issues.
Fortunately, these 60 issues also record some local customs and personalities about the gods' village, which made Kitakawaji feel a little relieved.
I saw a small black title on the far left of the page, which read:
‘Shocked! The customs hidden in the village of God.’
‘The previous issue introduced the mysterious and terrifying custom of the divine village. This time, I introduced some rumors circulating in the divine village.’
‘There seems to be some kind of terrifying traditional rituals circulating in the far-reaching historical village. The only thing we can know is that the people of the Miyamoto family or the God-State family cannot know the specific ritual situation. However, these two families have extremely high prestige in the village, and all the villagers of the God-State are obedient to the two families. It is impossible to learn some news from the villagers.’
‘The isolated village is very xenophobic.’
‘What else was hidden after that and what had happened before seems to be completely unknown to the two families now.’
‘The only thing I can find out is perhaps: When all the soul-guiding flowers in the gods' shrine bloom, they can prevent the arrival of Fujin.’
The record of the divine residence in the village ends here.
When Kitakawaji saw this, he glanced at the next newspaper and found that there was no news about the divine village on it, and shook his head regretfully.
If there is no shortage of publications, you might be able to understand the secrets of the God-station village.
Kitagawa Temple calmed down and thought about digesting the message he had just obtained.
As he inferred, there was indeed some kind of ancient and bloody ritual in the divine village.
‘Exclusive villagers’, ‘Ancient rituals’, ‘The connection between the Magong family and the God’.
The confusing mystery gradually emerged.
But the most important thing is indeed the last sentence in the newspaper.
‘All the soul-guiding flowers in the gods’ shrine bloom, can we prevent the arrival of Fujin from coming.’
What does this sentence mean?
Literally, the blooming of the "soul-inspiring flower" can suppress or prevent the arrival of the disaster.
"There are too few clues now." Kitagawa Temple shook his head and did not draw a conclusion.
He looked at the tiny more than 200 words carefully, trying to infer something from it, but in the end he got nothing. In this regard, he could only copy the specific keywords and words into his notepad.
Just as Kitakawaji stood up and planned to put the newspaper back, a hoarse and old voice sounded beside Kitakawaji.
"Oh, it turned out to be the Folk News of the Island Road City, I miss it so much. At that time, this was the only newspaper in the newspaper, which was still an entertainment newspaper. Other newspapers could not bring freshness to the students at all."
When Beichuan Temple looked back, she found an old man hunched over with a kind face.
Maybe it was because the old man was old, and the old man coughed and said in a nagging manner:
"There are few young people who pay attention to folk customs like you. Alas, young people recently like some novel and exaggerated things, but they completely forget some cherished history. Like my grandson, I don't even know about the island road fireworks, alas."
The old man sighed heavily as he spoke.
"Does the old man know anything? About the newspapers in my hands." Kitagawaji asked back.
If this old man had a 59th edition of the Folk News newspaper, it would have helped Kitakawaji Temple a lot.
“I don’t have the habit of collecting newspapers”
"That's right." Kitakawaji was a little disappointed.
The clue was right in front of him, but he couldn't catch it.
Seeing Kitagawa Temple looked disappointed, the old man continued, "The Folk News Agency has not gone bankrupt. I know the address of the Folk News Agency. There must be some newspapers printed in the past that were kept."
"Oh?" Kitakawaji's eyes lit up.
Each newspaper has a complete newspaper in its headquarters, which is used to compare newspapers in the future. This is also very normal.
But what Kitagawaji did not expect was that this newspaper that started in the Meiji period has not yet closed down.
The old man told him a specific address, Kitakawaji recorded it, and after thanking him again and again, he left the municipal library.
It is now around 4 o'clock in the afternoon, and it took more than two hours to search for information in Beichuan Temple.
"Although it took some time, I also bought precious information."
The address of Folk Newspaper
Beichuan Temple took a look, opened Google Map and took a look at the specific transportation plan, took the bus and left.
The time to arrive at Folk Newspaper was just stuck at 4:30.
At this time, Folk Newspaper was still working.
Kitakawaji no longer hesitated and went to the newspaper front desk to explain his purpose.
"The research on folk customs in colleges is right?" The young lady at the front desk was not surprised.
"Yes." Kitagawaji nodded expressionlessly.
He had a pretty face, a tall figure, and a cold and tough temperament on his face added a male tough feeling to him. The receptionist at the front desk swallowed and rushed to help Kitakawaji register his identity.
After all, their newspapers were used to report on folk customs. Students like Kitakawa Temple do not say one a day, but one or two a week.
Moreover, the Japanese clubs basically do not stop others from visiting. Because someone comes to visit, it also shows that the company's performance is gratifying.
After registering the identity of Beichuan Temple, the newspaper staff familiarly gave Beichuan Temple a pass to visit and told him where the old newspaper storage room was located.
Kitakawaji handed the backpack to the front desk staff and only brought in the notepad and carbon pen.
The old newspaper storage room was a small room of only 20 square meters. The paper materials accumulated in it made people feel a little unfree.
The newspapers preserved here are undoubtedly much more complete than those in the municipal library.
Not only can you find 59 newspapers missing from the publication here, but you can also keep newspapers with numbers 1 to 13 missing from the Municipal Library.
Looking at the 59th issue of the newspaper in my hand, Kitakawaji was lucky.
After a series of investigations, I finally learned some of the secrets of the former divine village.
With this inexplicable complex emotion, Kitagawaji raised his hand and opened the hard-won newspaper.
Chapter completed!
