"What?! You're going to that house?"
Kuroba Kaito pretended to be surprised and waved his hands repeatedly: "No, that's not possible, both of us will be eaten!"
"Old man, you are too superstitious."
The thin man said with relief: "Have you ever heard of Kichiemon Sansui? He is the master of the Tokugawa Tokugawa."
"San...Sansui Kichiemon..." Kuroba Kaito muttered to himself, pretending to be confused.
"Yes, if I guess correctly, the cannibal hut you mentioned was probably built by him during his lifetime!"
As if to enhance his persuasion, the thin man took out his notebook, opened it, took out a page of newspaper sandwiched inside, shined a flashlight on it, and continued:
"Old man, this is the news report from the past few days. Based on the vague map above, I searched around for more than 20 similar mountains and forests, and finally... finally I found it here!"
Twenty or so places?
A certain thief's psychology suddenly became much more balanced.
At the same time, his eyes also fell on the open notebook. The page that could be seen happened to record the search for Sansui Kichiemon's treasure.
It turned out to be a treasure hunter... Kuroba Kaito clearly understood.
"How is it?" the thin man said eagerly: "Old man, this is not a house that eats people at all. As long as you can take me there, I promise to pay you some money as a reward!"
If it were a brother, he would have agreed immediately upon hearing that he was being paid, right?
No! He will definitely stare at those dead fish eyes and ask in an indifferent tone, "How much is the reward?"...
Kuroba Kaito calmly complained about someone, continued to pretend to be hesitant, and nodded after more than ten seconds:
"Okay, but I can't see the road very clearly at night..."
After all, he wasn't entirely sure whether the mechanism house containing the 'Nio's Stone' that his father recorded was here.
"It doesn't matter! Let's just walk slowly!" the thin man said enthusiastically.
Kuroba Kaito said "Yeah" and continued to move forward. He also got some basic information through conversation.
For example, this thin man's name is Tamai Terunao, and he has been a treasure hunter for at least ten years.
In addition, he also has an accomplice who is also looking for Sansui Kichiemon's treasure. The two acted separately yesterday afternoon and made an appointment to exchange information as soon as possible if anything is discovered.
However, Kuroba Kaito found that Tamai Terunao's expression was obviously not quite right when he mentioned that partner, and he even became wary, resulting in the following questions not being answered.
The atmosphere suddenly became somewhat silent.
At this moment, a slight rushing sound suddenly came from slightly to the left in the forest.
The two took a few steps forward.
Then, a pool of water reflecting the bright moonlight came into their eyes.
The clear water flowed along the route that seemed to have been dug by someone, and the scattered light kept beating as if it was alive. While dispelling the darkness, it also illuminated the old building surrounding the center.
It can be seen that the wooden walls of the building have long been covered with moss, and countless small cracks are silently telling people how many times it has experienced the ravages of rain, snow, wind and frost.
Tamai Terushang didn't care about anything else, so he directly abandoned Kuroba Kaito and took the lead in buying the dilapidated row of fences.
Feel the chilly atmosphere that fills the surrounding air.
Tamai Terushang couldn't help but shudder. He stopped and his eyes couldn't help but fall on the rows of buildings centered on this old building, extending outward at a slightly inclined angle from the left and right sides of the main entrance. On the stone lantern.
Looking closer, you can clearly see the layers of mold attached to it, forming a dark green geometric pattern.
At the same time, Kuroba Kaito also walked to a stone lantern.
The light of the flashlight swept across, illuminating the layer of mold and dust, as well as a text engraved on it:
【The residence of the benevolent king is close to the sun wheel, and the elders gathered at the place where the Yin Dynasty rescued him. There is the stone of the benevolent king. Those who are not afraid of the wrath of the benevolent king can hold the stone in their hands and understand the eternal principles in their hearts. ...Kichiemon Sansui. 】
It seems that this is...
"Awesome! Found it, I finally...well..."
Tamai Terusao came over, but before the cheers mixed with surprise could be fully revealed, the next moment a smell of burnt skin wafted out, and he passed out tremblingly.
"..."
Kuroba Kaito returned to his usual tone and said helplessly: "Brother, you are too decisive."
"Is there a gem in this old house?"
Ye Gengyi ignored the question and instead gathered two drones and flew them over the entire building.
"Brother, don't underestimate this place."
Kuroba Kaito reminisced, "I remember my dad mentioned in his notes that Sansui Kichiemon is a mysterious master with a withdrawn personality. Entering this place might lead to death."
"Is it so dangerous? Just blow it up or burn it down. It's quite open here, and there happens to be a water source nearby, so it won't cause a fire."
The first half of Ye Gengyi's words made a certain monster thief feel very happy, but the next sentence almost spurted out a mouthful of old blood: "Wouldn't that mean nothing at all? And brother, shouldn't you start from the beginning? That’s what you planned, so you chose to come here in the middle of the night to survey the terrain, right?”
Ye Gengyi's eyes widened: "You are a gem thief, why do you have so many things going on?"
"Please!" Kuroba Kaito roared, "It's a Kaito! It's a Kaito!"
"Oh... do you need me to help you find an audience?"
Ye Gengyi's expression was calm and he said word by word: "Ji, De, Da, Ren..."
"Brother," Kuroba Kaito squinted, "Don't call me that, it's disgusting."
"Well, I already regret it. I almost vomited out the barbecue for dinner." Ye Geng nodded in agreement.
"...Brother," Kuroba Kaito said helplessly, "You and I eat vegetarian food together."
"Really? That was probably for Mr. Terai and Mingmei." Ye Gengyi said.
Kuroba Kaito: "..."
Is the topic getting more and more sideways as we talk...
"Okay," Ye Geng raised his hand, took back the two drones, and brought the topic back without any foreshadowing: "Preliminary judgment, there is no mechanism, are you sure you want to go in?"
"Of course," Kuroba Kaito was gearing up for a while, then suddenly realized something and said, "Brother, aren't you going in?"
"I don't have the physique like you do to like to slip into other people's traps and then enjoy the process of being abused, so..."
Ye Geng stretched out his hand and handed over a group of fist-sized nanorobots, "If you encounter trouble that you can't handle, call for help."
"Hey, I won't use this."
Kuroba Kaito took it and put it in his pocket.
