Tokyo: Rabbit Police and Her Evil Partner

Chapter 275 You Jump
Emperor Momozono died in 1762, 263 years ago.

During these two hundred years, Wulin Temple has been renovated several times and its feng shui has changed, forming a harsh semi-closed environment, like a petri dish, allowing rare mutant bacteria to survive for generations.

The beams of Wulinan may be the torso of an ancestor of the Fukuyama family, and the fir branches may be the skin of a traveler. When the tentacles touch the human skin, they will leave a burn mark that looks like a ghost's claw. As time goes by, the fungus reproduces rapidly in the human body, and the color of the "mark" on the skin will become darker and darker.

They are the source of the mountain's curse.

The Fukuyama family and fungi have a symbiotic relationship. Fukuyama Doken is the only descendant of the Fukuyama family. After his death, this branch of the Fukuyama family became extinct.

Many fungi produce defensive substances when they sense threats. For example, Penicillium can produce penicillin in the competition for survival, inhibiting the growth of surrounding bacteria to protect its own living space. The toxins produced when stimulated by external stimuli can not only resist the invasion of other organisms, but also adapt to adverse environments to a certain extent.

In addition, some fungi will also change their growth form, enter a dormant state, and accelerate reproduction.

Take the change of growth form as an example. When some filamentous fungi are undernourished, the growth rate of mycelium slows down and becomes denser, forming special structures such as sclerotia. Sclerotia have strong resistance to stress and can survive for a long time in harsh environments.

When exposed to external stress, some unicellular fungi (such as yeast) may change their cell morphology, such as becoming larger or thicker, to enhance their tolerance to the environment.

If this was put in the "Approaching Science", it would definitely be a 300-episode documentary, starting with the strange legends of the villagers in the mountains, then delving into why tourists in Arashiyama frequently disappear, with a back-and-forth sequence in between, filming the daily life of the Fumihito couple, taking the time to put a camera in Ono Ken's face and asking what was going on, and finally having two policemen seriously explain the truth...

But in the eyes of Fushimi Shika and Minamoto Tamako, they had accidentally entered a supernatural film set.

The wooden floor in the corridor was twisted and deformed, and it was wriggling piece by piece like a brown striped worm. The tentacles hanging from the ceiling were becoming denser and denser, dangling in the air. The thick fog on the first floor was rising, spreading to the second floor, and in a blink of an eye it submerged the ankles of the two people.

Fushimi Shika swung his sword horizontally, and the tentacles fell down, and dark green juice flowed all over the ground. The floor was wrapped around him, and there were dense footsteps coming from the corridor. He felt that this place was not suitable for staying for long, so he prepared to slip away first.

Gen Yuzi carried Ono Ken on her back and wanted to carry Madam Kiko on her back, but she knew in her heart that she couldn't do it, so she had to look to Fushimi Shika for help. The latter cursed inwardly for his bad luck, bent down and carried Madam Kiko like a princess, and said in a cold voice: "We agreed in advance that when it comes to the last resort, we can only leave them behind to save our lives."

Yuan Yuzi said "hmm", she knew how to choose.

The two of them each held a wounded person and rushed into the corridor, stepping on the twisting floor and passing through the dense tentacles. Gen Yuzi didn't know where Fushimi Shika was planning to escape, but she just had to follow him.

The tentacles in front of him were entangled like mycelium. Fushimi Kaka was holding someone in his arms, so it was inconvenient for him to swing his knife. He could only rush forward and open a small path. Fortunately, the tentacles were not very tough and broke with a single pull. Yuan Yuzi followed behind him, running breathlessly.

In a moment, Fushimi Shika rushed into Akishino Mako's bedroom, pushed his way into the door sideways, and found that the sliding door was open. It was raining outside the balcony, and he jumped down from the balcony without saying a word.

With a splash, Fushimi Shika fell into the water harp holding Mrs. Kiko. The bottom of the pool was still humming. He quickly floated up and dragged Mrs. Kiko to the shore. He reached out to feel her pulse, which was a little weaker.

Evil situation.

Yuan Yuzi was afraid of heights. She stood on the balcony, carrying Ono Xuan on her back, and was hesitant to jump down. Seeing this, Fushimi Shika opened her arms, looked up and said loudly: "Don't be afraid! I will catch you!" Yuan Yuzi knew that this was not the time to be pretentious. She took a deep breath, prepared herself mentally, and jumped down from the building with gritted teeth.

The two of them fell vertically in the air and were about to fall into the Water Sound Cave. Under Gen Tamaki's astonished gaze, Fushimi Shika suddenly withdrew her hands, and they fell into the water with a splash, becoming drowned dogs.

Before she could float up, Fushimi Shika lay on the shore and scooped them both up.

"Cough... cough cough... didn't you say you would catch me?" Yuan Yuzi lay on the pebbles on the shore and coughed.

"If I hadn't said this, you would probably have hesitated for a while and would have praised me for my cleverness." Fushimi Shika was not ashamed at all.

He is not a god of arm strength, and his current strength attribute is only B! It is no problem to catch one Yuan Yuzi, but it is a bit difficult to catch two people. It is safer to dive.

Yuan Yuzi didn't feel like blaming him. She had finally escaped death, and all the anger in her chest had been released. She was filled with gratitude for having survived the disaster. She wanted to open her arms to the heavy rain, shout loudly to the thunder, and strike a classic pose from Shawshank.

However, as soon as she raised her head, her blood ran cold.

The pavilion floor was split in two in the middle, and piles of tree men crawled out from the ground. The scene was like densely packed ants crawling out of an ant nest. Even Fushimi Kakashi felt his scalp tingling when he saw it.

He might be able to rush out with Yuan Yuzi, but it is not certain for others.

Thinking of this, Fushimi Shika decided to make a decisive move. His own life was the most important. He was about to drag Gen Tamako away, but she suddenly turned her head and shouted to the reception room behind the porch: "Section Chief Fujiwara! Section Chief Fujiwara, come and help!"

Fujiwara Yoshi had heard the noise outside a long time ago, some gurgling noises, some running around, and then a few gunshots. Even if his cerebellum was not fully developed, he should have realized that something was wrong.

When Yuan Yuzi rushed upstairs, he just pulled off the rag and looked out. It was pitch black and he saw nothing. He didn't eat dinner and was starving. He returned to the reception room to eat some honeydew melon, which Ono Ken had served earlier... Only when you are full can you have the energy to practice!
Fujiwara no Yoshi had just taken a few bites when Murinan rioted. The various strange sights before him frightened him so much that he lost his mind and really thought that evil spirits had come to claim his life.

When he heard Yuan Yuzi's cry, he didn't care about anything else and hurriedly opened the sliding door, intending to huddle together to survive, or at least find a scapegoat.

Fujiwara Yoshi looked into the yard and saw that the garden was like a parade of hundreds of ghosts with screams ringing in his ears. Princess Kiko and Ono Ken were lying on the ground with their lives or deaths unknown. He slammed the sliding door shut again and his mind went blank.

Seeing this, Fushimi Shika shouted, "If you don't run away, you'll die! Don't blame me for not warning you, the evil spirits in the house are even scarier!"

Fujiwara Yoshi thought to himself that it was bullshit, he was not blind, it must be safer to hide in the house than outside... Before he could recover, the door suddenly burst open, and tentacles rushed in along the wooden debris.

“——Help, help!!”
