After that, Dusk and the others found a few nearby fishermen and inquired about the situation. Only then did they find out about Hazy Moon Island.
According to these fishermen, Hazy Moon Island was an island that had very little contact with the outside world since ancient times. The residents there were isolated and almost never interacted with the outside world. Only after the modern era did Hazy Moon Island gradually open to the outside world, becoming a place famous for its tourism. Every ten years, Hazy Moon Island would hold a ceremony called "Hazy Moon Kagura" for tourists to visit. Because of this, Hazy Moon Island was really lively for a period of time, and the fishermen and boatmen could be considered to have made a lot of money.
However, a dozen years ago, a terrible thing happened on Hazy Moon Island.
In fact, nobody knew what exactly happened. They only knew that at that time, a ship went to Hazy Moon Island and was shocked to find that the people on the island were either missing or dead. There was not a single living person on the entire island. Moreover, the appearance of those who died was very frightening. Every one of them was covering their face as if they were tearing something.
At that time, the police were greatly shocked and dispatched many people to investigate, but in the end, they didn't get any results. Therefore, to the outside world, it was said that a large scale infectious disease broke out on Hazy Moon Island, which ultimately led to this tragedy …. After that, for the fishermen here, Hazy Moon Island became a forbidden place. Even if they were fishing, they didn't dare to approach it.
After listening to the fishermen's narration, everyone's expression was a little strange. After all, when they heard "the entire island mysteriously died", they couldn't help but think of a certain mansion, a certain village, a certain big house ….
"Call them over and ask them why they went to Hazy Moon Island."
After obtaining information about Hazy Moon Island, Dusk signaled to Crimson to bring the three girls over. She was also very curious as to why these three girls would go to that kind of place. This was the 80s, there were no live webcasts, no popular live streamers, and no youtube video websites …. Could it be that they were fanatical fans of the supernatural?
After all, weren't there such things as folklore scholars in ancient times ….
For example, a folklore scholar who went to the Ice Chamber Mansion, a folklore scholar who went to the All-God Village, a folklore scholar who fell in love with a tattooed woman ….
They were all the same.
The result was the same.
Very soon, the three girls were brought over and introduced themselves. They were Asou Kaito, Tsukamori Yuen Ka, and Izumi Moonless Ryouge. The three girls were about the same age, and they looked slightly younger than Heizawa Reo. At this moment, they were also looking at Kieran nervously. It was obvious that they had heard something from Crimson Daisy.
"Are you willing to take us to Hazy Moon Island?"
The girl named Asou Hajima immediately asked after seeing Rosefinch. The other girl beside her tugged Asou Hajima's arm anxiously.
"Wait a minute, Hai, you are being impolite."
"So what? We have to go to Hazy Moon Island, don't we? If she's willing to bring us to Hazy Moon Island, then I'm willing to pay … … "
"Alright, it's not a matter of money. As you can see, I'm not short of money."
Yu knocked on the yacht beside him, interrupting the exchange between the two people.
"I want to ask, why did you go to Hazy Moon Island?"
"This …"
Hearing Rosefinch's question, Asou Hajima was at a loss for words. Yuen Mori trembled and lowered her head, not daring to speak. At this moment, the girl named Moonless Song stepped forward and said.
"We have a very important matter to attend to. We must go to Hazy Moon Island."
"Can you explain?"
"This … …."
Moonless Song and Yuen Mori looked at each other. The latter's face was pale and she shook her head desperately. Asou Hajima didn't seem to want to talk about it either. After a moment of hesitation, Moonless Song sighed.
"To tell you the truth, we are the residents of that island … … .in the past."
"In the past?"
"Yes, Yuen Mori, Yuen Hajima and I lived on Hazy Moon Island when we were young. Then, we moved away from the island."
"Then why did you come back?"
"… … because of our companions."
"Companions?"
"Well … … there were a total of five of us who moved away from the island. But not long ago, we learned that our other two good friends, Nanamura Jumou and Shomiya Kikue, had suddenly passed away … … When they died, they covered their faces with their hands. It was … … a very horrifying sight."
"But what does this have to do with your return to the island?"
Hei Ze Lian asked curiously. Moonless Water, on the other hand, hesitated for a moment.
"Actually, the five of us have lost our childhood memories. We only remember that we were born and grew up on Hazy Moon Island, but we have no memory of what happened on Hazy Moon Island at all. But we always had a feeling that we must return to Hazy Moon Island, especially after Kikue and Jumou passed away. This feeling grew stronger and stronger. I don't know why, but if we don't go back, I'm afraid we'll end up like them … … "
"I see."
Rosefinch nodded.
"If that's the case, I can send you to Hazy Moon Island. If you're willing to entrust this task to me, I can help you solve this problem."
"… … Huh? Solve … … the problem? "
"That's right."
As he spoke, Rosefinch took out a name card and handed it over.
"Actually, this is what I do."
The three girls took the name card curiously. When they saw the information on it, they were shocked.
"Troublesome Case Investigation Firm?"
"That's right. I specialize in solving troublesome cases like yours … … How about it?"
Rosefinch smiled as he looked at the three girls in front of him.
"Sign a contract with me, Soju."
The three girls agreed to Rosefinch's suggestion without hesitation. They were originally a little hesitant about going to Hazy Moon Island alone, but they didn't expect to meet an expert who could solve this problem here. Moreover, the expert was willing to travel with them. Therefore, the three of them naturally wouldn't refuse. They signed the contract, boarded the ship, and headed for Hazy Moon Island.
On the ship, everyone introduced themselves, and the three girls nodded in return. As they chatted, Hisashi gained a better understanding of the three girls' personalities. Asou Kaori's personality was more headstrong and headstrong, while Yuen Tsukimori, who stood beside her, appeared to be very weak and even introverted. In contrast, Moonless Song was calmer and more composed.
"Where do you plan to start when you arrive at Hazy Moon Island?"
After confirming that the three girls had entrusted him with this matter, Rosefinch quickly found Moonless Song and asked about the next situation and plan of action.
"Hmm … … Let me think … … Hazy Moon Inn."
"What's that place?"
"I can't remember, but we only remember that we lived there when we were young."
"I see …. Do you remember anything about Hazy Moon Island?"
"I'm sorry."
Moonless Song shook his head in response to Rosefinch's question.
"We really can't remember anything about the island. In fact, I can't even remember what my father looks like …."
"It's fine. I'm sure you'll find some clues when you return to the island."
Just as Misuzu was comforting Moonless and Flowing Song, the sky outside suddenly darkened. Immediately after, Crimson and Black Swamp Lian rushed in.
"Something's wrong, Sister Rosefinch. It's night outside!"
"Oh?"
Hearing Crimson's words, Rosefinch raised her eyebrows. She stood up, walked out of the cabin, and looked forward. As expected, the sky was already dark, as if it was late at night. When he turned his head to look behind him, there was nothing but darkness and seawater.
But Rosefinch clearly remembered that when they arrived here, the sky was still clear, and it was no later than noon. But looking at the sky now, it was more like midnight. They could even see the moon in the sky not far away through the clouds, as well as the rotating lighthouse in the distance.
"Sister Rosefinch, don't tell me …."
Crimson approached Rosefinch and asked in a low voice. She had experienced many similar incidents with Rosefinch, so she was already experienced. Apart from the big house of Hisashi Clan, which was located outside of the dreamland, both the Ice House and Kikami Village were pitch-black. It was still daytime, but the entire place was dark. According to Rosefinch, this was because the Yellow Springs miasma had erupted, isolating the entire area from the outside world.
Now it seemed that this place was similar. Although Rosefinch had not sensed the Yellow Springs miasma yet, she could keenly sense the presence of the evil spirits that covered the entire island …. Well, for Frostmourne, it was time to eat the Manchu Han Imperial Feast.
"That's probably it. Don't tell me you guys get ready too. Have everyone gather on the deck."
Rosefinch turned around and whispered to Crimson. The latter gripped her phone tightly and nodded. She walked towards Heizawa Rena and whispered something to her. Then, Heizawa Rena's expression changed slightly, and she hurriedly turned around and left.
Not long after, everyone, including Moonless Aqua and Flowing Song, gathered on the deck. At the same time, the yacht slowly approached Hazy Moon Island. Under the illumination of the lights, they could clearly see the abandoned pier and shore — — Under the moonlight, there was not a single person.
After more than a decade, the island that had originally been abandoned once again welcomed new guests.
