Chapter 14: Darkness Attacks

"This?" However, to Jing Huang's surprise, she was sent to the cafeteria. What's going on? Walking into the Western-style dining room, she saw that almost everyone was gathered here, and sitting in the main seat was the family's head of the family, that is, her maternal grandfather, Kitayama Shinshin. Born at the end of the Taisho era, her grandfather was already over ninety years old, a venerable old man who had even lost a large portion of his teeth, his face was covered with wrinkles dense enough to pinch an ant to death, and his skin was as loose and rough as the bark of a tree. However, his pair of eyes, unlike his old and decrepit body, gleamed with vigor, seeing no trace of twilight. Upon seeing Jing Huang enter, he immediately said, "Jing Huang, you sit in the seat to my right." At this time, there was indeed only empty seats there. Beishan Jing Huang had no choice but to sit next to her maternal grandfather as she watched her mother, father, and brother and sister-in-law all sit down as well. And at this time, she noticed a pair of unfamiliar young man and woman, sitting beside her brother. Could that young man be the writer that her brother admired so much, called Black Ghost Fire? "Gentlemen." Grandfather said once she was seated, "Let's open the banquet." Jing Huang was instantly quite uneasy, Grandfather actually just allowed her to sleep until she naturally woke up and waited for her to come before opening the table for the evening meal? This was tantamount to letting everyone realize her status in the family? "Uh, father." At this time, uncle Kitayama Jinji said, "Over the Sea of Lost Trees ……" "With me here, the sky won't fall. What are you afraid of? No matter what's going on, we have to eat, don't we? Moreover, this dinner today is also to welcome a new member to become part of our family." Saying this, everyone swept their eyes towards Pu Shenyu who was beside Beishan Jinglong. "This, father ……," At this time, Kitayama Yuriko asked anxiously, "We still aren't quite sure of the exact state of affairs, but there isn't any way to get out of here at the moment?" "But it's temporary. Something similar happened back then, didn't it?" Jing Huang's eyes widened abruptly when she heard these words. Back then, something …… Obviously, what Grandfather was talking about was what happened to Aunt Yukie back then. "Next, the area within a thirty-meter radius of the Auntie's Pavilion is strictly forbidden for anyone, including me, to enter. I will give the order that from this moment on, whoever approaches that will be executed on the spot." As he uttered these words, the chamber was instantly plunged into an aura of solemnity. And Jing Huang knew that it was indeed not difficult to execute someone here. With Grandfather's power in the financial sector, he wasn't afraid at all. "On the contrary, anyone who enters the Gushu Bird Pavilion during this period of time, all of the servants, must commit hara-kiri, and I will arrange for them to be meshed with the wrong person specifically." This sentence, even more creepy. Chinese people all know that Japanese people often put harakiri on their lips, but not many know about the wrong person. As Japan's unique suicide culture, harakiri, at the same time, behind the arrangement of a meso-wrong man for beheading, as the end of harakiri. "At the same time, if anyone dares to leave the shrine and enter the Sea of Lost Trees without my orders, I will also send someone to execute them. The wedding, for now, will have to be postponed, Kageyuu." Grandfather Kitayama Shinshin picked up his chopsticks as he spoke. "Today, we have Kobe Wagyu beef, and a blowfish dish that I had specially made. Everyone, please enjoy." Jing Huang looked at the table full of delicacies, but she no longer had any semblance of appetite. Her body was shaking as if she was sifting through chaff, something like this, she had also experienced once when she was young. And that was also the reason why she left the shrine completely, filled with disgust and fear for this place. And now, once again? On the other side of the dining table, Dong Xie's face, too, was quite ugly. He took a long time before picking up his chopsticks. No matter what, the meal had to be eaten. The only thing that was certain was that it was unrealistic to leave this. To leave this now, one would either die at the hands of this Japanese, or die inside the sea of trees outside, as far as the risk index was concerned, the inside of the shrine might still be a little safer, after all, there was still the possibility of finding clues to a way of life. And by tomorrow afternoon, here, will become a real horror murderous place. Although it was said to be all Japanese food, it was nevertheless quite scrumptious, especially the large Australian lobster on the sashimi platter in the center, which was quite eye-catching. It was just that the current Dong Qi really didn't have much of an appetite. "Try this blowfish dish." On the side, Kitayama Jinglong gave Deep Rain a pufferfish sandwich and said, "Our chef here has a specialized pufferfish cuisine production qualification certificate, so it's absolutely safe." "Of course I trust it." Deep Rain's face at this time, was also quite ugly, "What exactly happened outside? I don't get it at all." "Well ……," it could be seen that Kitayama Jinglong was also quite embarrassed, "I don't know how to explain it to you either. I'll talk to you later after dinner." Dong Xie intended to clip another piece of Kobe Wagyu beef meat, when suddenly, his cell phone emitted a text message beep. "Huh?" He realized that on his phone was a text message from Himura Hanabi. The text message was written in English. "Mr. Dong, the two of you can just eat fish dishes, please keep in mind to never, ever eat any meat dishes other than that. This is what Lord Zenith asked me to inform you of." Dong Xie froze, and at this time, Dong Ning also received the same text message. The main meat on the table was the Kobe Wagyu Beef, and originally Dong Xie wanted to savor the authentic Kobe Wagyu Beef, but now …… the situation seemed off. So his outstretched chopsticks changed to a serving of tempura, which he put into Dong Ning's bowl on the side. "Eat this, Ning." Fish dishes can be eaten, but no other meat dishes can be eaten …… So, this Kobe Wagyu, isn't it beef? If it's not beef, then what kind of …… meat is it? At this time, Dong Xie associated quite a few horrible things. He also wrote similar plots in his own novels in the past, and also because those plots are too heavy flavored, now it has been blocked in the website, and it has not been released until now. And soon, Dong Xie realized something. All the people who ate Kobe Wagyu beef cuisine had one thing in common. They were all people with the bloodline of the Kitayama family. Other than that, people who were not related to this family, such as Kitayama Jinglong's father, and Kitayama Jinji's wife, did not touch that meat even once. Dong Ning also noticed this, and she exchanged glances with Dong Evil. And thinking of this, even her favorite salmon sashimi, she didn't touch it. Just at that moment, a person came in from outside the restaurant. It was a maid, who came with a standard Japanese ninety-degree bow and said, "Lord Zhen Xin. The people who were dispatched to the Sea of Lost Trees have only returned with five people. Moreover, they also brought back two people." At this moment, Kitayama Zenith, who was still cutting the steak on his plate with his knife despite having lost all his teeth, said, "Brought back people? Sightseers who came here by mistake?" "It doesn't seem to be. They ……" "Never mind, since we're here, let's settle them for now." At this moment, Dong Xie's face became ugly. Only …… five people had returned???? Although he wasn't quite sure how many servants had been dispatched, it was said to be half of this shrine's servants ah! This death rate was also too frightening! Even though the house was now full of people and was lit up, Dong Xie still felt a chill on his back. And what's even more frightening is that so many people have died, why …… Kitayama Zhenxin slowly put a small piece of beef …… that had been cut off if that was really beef into his mouth, and because it was cut very small, it didn t really need to be chewed and could be swallowed directly. And just after putting it into his mouth, Dong Xie saw a shrug at the position of Beishan Zhenxin's throat, obviously swallowing it immediately. Evidently, he was not eating this beef to enjoy the food at all. Why didn't he say it explicitly and ask Himura Hanabi to send a text message to himself? Obviously, this could not be said explicitly in public, he had someone who needed to hide this matter. Who was it? The siblings Jing Long and Jing Huang? Or the family's new granddaughter-in-law? "Um, that, I want to go to the restroom." Dong Xie could no longer eat anything at this point and stood up, "Can I …… leave for a while?" "Uh, I'll take you there." A servant who had been standing on the side walked up and said, "This way, please." At this time, the rain outside, was getting heavier and heavier. This shrine, had become impossible to escape from …… Stormy Mountain!
