I'm a Hokage in Tokyo

[If you commit suicide here, the bear will bite your body to pieces]

"This is really Aokigahara, but where am I? With this sign, I'm back to the original point!?"

Hero Tosu covered his right ear with one hand, bumped around in the primeval forest of Aokigahara for a while like a headless fly, and then returned to the original place.

All the things on him that could prove his identity were searched and taken away by the experienced Brother Ku. Naturally, he would not leave the mobile phone to Hero Tosu, and he could not call for help, so he had to struggle to survive by himself.

The Aokigahara sea of ​​trees at the foot of Mt. Fuji has basically the same tree species. Looking around, they are all unchanging virgin forests, covering the sky and blocking out the sun.

Even for professional explorers, it is difficult to discern the direction based on tree shadows, sun, and stars in this situation.

Not to mention Hero Tosu, an office worker who grew up in the city.

As expected, Hero Tosu got lost.

Although Hero Tosu is very anxious, the skills and knowledge of survival in the wild will not emerge out of thin air in his mind.

Hero Tosu looked at the sign in front of him speechlessly.

He couldn't help raising his head to look up, then quickly lowered his head.

"Amitabha!"

【If you commit suicide here, the bear will bite your body to pieces】

Above the notice board, there was a corpse that had weathered into bones, and the jacket on the corpse was still intact, shaking slightly in the air.

Aokigahara deserves to be called the Forest of Suicides. After Tosu Hero woke up, he wandered around for an hour and found two corpses.

Ever since the heroine in Seicho Matsumoto's novel "The Tower of Waves" in the 1960s walked into Aokigahara alone with a smile on her face, the suicide forest began to "rise to fame". Absolutely.

Every autumn, the police organize a large-scale search in the sea of ​​trees in Aokigahara, and every time they search, they can find seventy or eighty dead bodies.

"Are there really bears?"

Hero Tosu couldn't help showing a bit of nervousness and fear on his face, and his headache got worse.

This is not just a metaphor.

His head was smashed by Brother Ku with a shovel, and if he went to the hospital, he would have to sew dozens of stitches, but Hero Tosu sewed it up with black tentacles in a mess to stop the bleeding, but still A splitting headache.

As for the severed right ear and other wounds on the body, he forcibly sewed them up.

"It's cold. My mouth is dry."

After getting used to it, or numb it, the pain of the bruised and bruised body has become much duller, but other negative symptoms have begun to strike.

Aokigahara primeval forest is shaded by towering trees, only dappled spots of light are scattered, and it is deep and dark even in the daytime.

Only a thin shirt was left on Tosu Hero's body, he couldn't help but hugged his arms tightly and shivered.

"Wow--"

It seemed to be the sound of the gurgling stream.

Hero Tosu's expression moved, he couldn't help licking his dry lips, and followed the sound.

After walking for tens of meters, Hero Tosu pushed aside a clump of bushes, and suddenly saw a stream appearing in front of him.

Hero Tosu was overjoyed!

Not only can it replenish water, but according to Tosu Hero's shallow knowledge of survival in the wild, if you get lost in the forest, you can walk out of the forest along the river.

"It's saved!"

Hero Tosu rushed over and ran to the middle of the stream, and on the other side of the stream was a small deer with prickly ears drinking water.

After being frightened, the little deer spread its four hooves, jumped up, and disappeared into the forest.

Hero Tosu didn't take it seriously, picked up a handful of cold stream water, and took a big gulp.

"Roar!"

The bushes on the opposite side suddenly shook violently, and a huge grizzly brown bear poked its head out from its hiding place.

The brown bear turned its head to the direction where the deer disappeared, and then looked at the hero Tosu, growling in a low voice.

Hero Tosu suddenly broke into a cold sweat.

Oops!

Although it is said that at the turn of spring and summer when food is plentiful, brown bears seldom attack humans on their own initiative, but before they entered in disorder and scared away the brown bear's prey, this kind of brown bear might consider itself a substitute for the deer when it became angry from embarrassment.

Can't run, can't run.

Dense cold sweat dripped from Tosu Hero's forehead, but he also knew very well that turning around and running away would only arouse the brown bear's desire to hunt.

And even if it is a sprint world champion, it is impossible to outrun the brown bear.

A hairless human who walks upright is also a monster beyond imagination for brown bears.

As long as this stalemate continues, the brown bear might retreat by itself.

"Wheeze."

The brown bear's moist black nose twitched a few times before slowly approaching the Tosu hero.

"It was the smell of blood on my body that stimulated the brown bear!"

Hero Tosu understood in an instant, his face turned pale, and he couldn't help but backed away again and again.

"Ho Ho Ho Ho—"

And the brown bear also let out a deep roar, getting closer and closer step by step, and it was about to pounce.

"No, don't come here!"

Hero Tosu was so frightened that he didn't know what to do, his foot slipped, and he fell down in the stream, waving his hands and feet indiscriminately.

The black sutures on the left wrist suddenly burst open, and the left hand clenched a fist and shot out, hitting the brown bear's fragile nose.

"Aw!"

The brown bear screamed.

A dozen black tentacles two to three meters long protruded from Tosu Hero's left wrist, baring their teeth and claws in the air.

The brown bear had never seen this kind of monster before, and was frightened out of his wits, turned around and ran away.

"Fufufu, what kind of monster did I become? Even the brown bear was scared away by me."

The hero Tosu, who survived the catastrophe, retracted his left hand through the connected black tentacles with a complicated expression.

Now that his body has become such a weird structure, can he really return to the warm and happy daily life before?

Will Linghua and the child's mother regard me as a monster?

However, if it hadn't become like this, I'm afraid I would have died twice.

If I die here, who can protect this family from wind and rain?

We must get out of Aokigahara as soon as possible!

Hero Tosu didn't care that his physical strength had not yet recovered, he walked from the stream to the shore, moved his heavy feet with difficulty, and walked down the stream.

"It's cold, it's cold."

Although I am not sure about the exact time, it should be only morning, and the air is quite chilly.

Hero Tosu was only wearing a thin shirt, and just now he was wet from sitting in the stream, and the water vapor evaporated and took away his body temperature, making him shiver.

Hero Tosu couldn't help but think of the jacket on the skeleton hanging from the tree before.

"No, this is too blasphemy to the dead. It's not the end of the mountain, and it's not winter. Besides, the temperature will rise at noon. Bear with it, and you can go out soon."

Hero Tosu felt a little guilty for the evil thoughts that came up before.

"What's this?"

Hero Tosu walked along the stream for another half an hour, and suddenly saw a metal reflection not far from the river bank.

He hesitated for a moment, but still walked over.

On the higher soil slope of the river bank, under a few big jagged trees, there was a shallow pothole, in which lay a wreckage that had weathered into dry bones.

A faded men's suit, a shovel and a bottle of sleeping pills thrown aside.

It seems to be an ordinary suicide in Aokigahara.

But directly above the pothole, like a tombstone, there is a large box of Kamen Rider suits that are covered in dust and have not been opened.

It's also an ultra-rare 10th Anniversary Collector's Edition!
