Zongman, can you be immortal with me for the rest of your life?

Kazuma seemed to vaguely hear Kerry whispering something, but he couldn't hear it clearly. He just heard a few key words, such as "infinitely stronger", "vegetable market" and "beheading", so he turned around and asked Kerry.

"what did you just say?"

"Nothing, that's Saitama up ahead, right?"

...an hour later.

Kerry and Kazuma stopped the car and stood at an intersection, worried.

The good news is that even though the two had no experience in tailing, the other party was still extremely ferocious and was definitely on guard all around, otherwise there would not be a need for so many people to come to the Yakuza. The two of them went all the way to Songfu without being discovered.

The bad news was that when they were about to enter Songfushi Mountain Road, they were intercepted by an uphill section. By the time they reached the top, they had completely lost their target. Moreover, because there was a fork in the road ahead, they were directly in a dilemma.

It was obvious that the other party's destination was not Songfu City, because the cars in front split up at the beginning. One car was heading towards the city, while the truck and another car were heading here.

There was another reason why Kerry was sure that this was not the urban area, because there were two small hills clearly visible in front of him with the naked eye.

We have already passed the route to the city center, and the other party seems to be heading to some more remote place.

"Turn around for me, and we'll go wherever it turns."

Kerry transformed into Tokyo Stealth Zero and simply picked up a stone that was obviously sharper on one side and had Kazuma spin it on the ground.

"I say, isn't this a bit too random? What's the difference between this and us coming directly to Songfu?"

Kazuma complained but still picked up the stone and started spinning it casually.

As the speed slowed down, the stone slowly stopped, facing directly towards one of the roads.

Kerry got on the bike without saying a word.

"Chase!"

"You're so unreliable!"

The two began to ride again, but this section of the mountain road was extremely difficult to travel on. The Japanese government would not spend money to build such a road. In fact, because the number of passengers would definitely be very small, the non-profit bus company did not even operate buses here.

Twenty minutes later, a village appeared in front of them.

Kazuma was stunned to see a black car parked in front of a convenience store at the entrance of the village.

There was a truck outside a few houses nearby, but unfortunately, just by looking at the model, you could tell it wasn't the one the two were chasing.

I checked the license plate number, damn! What a bridge car!

Kazuma looked down at his hands, and Bro began to wonder if he had any superpowers besides immortality.

In order to prevent the other party from seeing the bicycle and remembering that they had seen it in the rearview mirror before, Kazuma and Chris found a place to park, took off their hoods, and then walked into the village.

When I walked to the entrance of the village, I saw the place name "Xinxiangcun" written on a stone.

Chris looked around and saw that the village was located at the intersection of two hills. To the northwest, he could see the kind of farmland that often appeared in anime. Below were pits for growing rice. There was only a narrow strip of land for people to walk on, but the area was not small.

While Kerry and the others were looking around, a black car in the distance started moving after restocking cigarettes at a convenience store.

The boss even waved at them.

"Remember to take care of my brat more often. He's been studying abroad for a few years now, and he even dares to disobey Master Jingxin. I wish he could become a big shot like you guys."

He was the owner of a store, but he spoke to the Yakuza, who should have been relatively poor in this year.

...

ps: The main storyline of these chapters is a bit slow in order to give the feeling of embarking on a journey.

But it doesn’t matter, once we get there, things will unfold like a whirlwind.

ps2: Please give me some votes, thank you!

Chapter 16: A New Village with Simple Customs

Kerry and Kazuma followed the Yakuza's car into the new village.

At first glance, the village is neither big nor small, and it is estimated that there are about 500 residents.

It has all the characteristics of a normal Japanese village.

In Japan, there are as many temples as convenience stores, ordinary alleys, little kids playing cards on the roadside, and a group of elderly grandpas and grandmas.

Looking around, Sato Kazuma sighed regretfully.

"It's all a lie."

"What's the lie?" Kerry, who felt that the owner of the convenience store at the entrance of the village seemed to be staring at him, responded to Kazuma nonchalantly.

There are no newlywed wives from Russia, beautiful JKs who need tutoring, childhood friends who will wait for you at the empty station, tanned older sisters, cute little girls who like soda pop, or fox spirits who will appear if you pay 500 yen to a shrine.

There are only a large number of elderly people and left-behind children left behind by their young people who have gone out to work.”

Kerry glanced at Sato Kazuma.

"This place doesn't have the perverse custom of capturing all women to become Starfuries, or the tradition of regularly sacrificing outsiders to the mountain."

"What games do you usually play?" Kazuma asked half annoyed.

"A game where you play a farmer who stops time, fishes, catches bugs, fights, and flirts with girls in the village."

"Natsux Rhapsody? I like driving a big car too." Kazuma's eyes lit up.

"No, with your amazing brain circuit, it can't be Stardew Valley, right?"

"No, it's Lakeview Valley."

Just as the two were looking at the village scenery and trying to figure out where the car was going, a middle-aged man stopped them.

"Ahem, are you here to travel in the village?"

The middle-aged man's tone was gentle, but his words were somewhat questioning.

Kerry had already noticed this man, and he was running towards them from a distance.

Kazuma was confused by the sudden question.

Kerry responded calmly.

"Yeah, we heard there's something fun to do in Xinxiang, so we came all the way from Tokyo."

"Oh! So that's how it is."

Hearing that he was from Tokyo and that his accent did sound like Tokyo, the middle-aged man seemed a little disappointed.

But in the blink of an eye, he began to introduce Xinxiang very enthusiastically.

"Oh, you don't know, there are so many things to do here. I'm Tian Gong Yixiong, the head of the Xinxiang Agricultural Cooperative. You are college students in Tokyo, right? If you enjoy it, please help us spread the word!"

Our village not only has a hot spring hotel, but the mountains next to it are also rich in various mountain products. The wild onions in many restaurants are picked from the two mountains over there. They are called Kyoto wild onions, but they are not from cities like ours. There is no such thing as wild onions in Kyoto.

There are also many other industries.”

As he spoke, the man started making faces.

"As you know, many foreigners come to Japan for the sex industry, but Tokyo has strict regulations and it's impossible to provide real sex services to customers. So, many times, we need guides to bring them to places with this kind of industry, like here.

But now is the off-season, so there is no need to worry about running into foreigners. If you two are interested, you can go for a walk on that street over there.

Listening to the other party's suggestive words, Kerry also spoke with a smile.

"Really? Well, I really want to thank you Mr. Tian a lot. You are so busy with your official duties, but you still came to guide us. You are really kind."

"It's nothing. Our Xinxiang is not very big anyway. In addition to interacting with people around me, I also have to help my fellow villagers greet guests. After all, the population loss in rural areas of Japan is becoming more and more serious.

When you graduate, if you have to pay hometown tax, it's a good idea to fill in our Songfushi name. The return gifts from Songfushi are made in our village, and our return gifts are as good as those from Hokkaido. Oh, and it's the beginning of the school year now, aren't you two still able to travel?"

"Well, we are now in our third year. We have finished our thesis and really don't want to stay in school or go to Quezhuang with the seniors, so we just want to hang out." Kerry replied.

"Oh! So, have fun, both of you." After saying that, the man waved and left.

"This guy is full of introductions, but he keeps asking about our situation."

Sato Kazuma waited until Tian Gong walked away, then leaned over to Kerry's ear and spoke. Kazuma was still very smart.

Kerry also nodded.

"And do you feel it? It seems like different people have been looking at us since we came in. This place is a bit weird."

And it wasn't just a problem with vision. Kerry felt like something was wrong from the moment he entered the village, but he couldn't put his finger on it.

The two walked for a while and saw the black car that had been following them. Because there were not many parking spaces in the countryside, the car was parked on the side in front of the store.

Chris and the others walked in and found that it seemed to be a hotel. There was a sign "Yasuda-ya" hanging on the main door, and a small sign read "Local cuisine, egg rice..." and so on.

It seems to be a restaurant with a main hall open to the public as a restaurant, and the upstairs is a lodging house.

"Go in and have a look."

Kerry touched his stomach, which felt no hunger, and walked in with the somewhat tired Kazuma.

As you enter the door, you will see the reception desk and a small hall with a few dining tables.

It must be because it is the off-season for tourism, and there are not many people eating at this time.

The table was filled with the pink-haired family and the field worker I had met before, but otherwise the table was empty.

"Hey! Michiko is entertaining guests! These two are distinguished guests from Tokyo!"

When Tian Gong saw Kerry and the other man, he stood up and shouted enthusiastically.

"I'm coming."

Soon a middle-aged woman came out from the kitchen.

I saw that she was just an ordinary aunt, not the proprietress in the two-dimensional village who was obviously very old but wore a kimono and had a very impressive figure. I shook my head with regret.

"Damn, isn't this the second dimension world?" Kerry also complained regretfully.

"What nonsense are you talking about? Isn't this reality?" Kazuma looked at Kerry in confusion.

In reality, there aren’t so many people with pink hair! Kerry wanted to say this, but he held back.

"Would you like to have a meal or stay overnight?" The woman who should be the owner of this restaurant came over.

"Eat," Kerry replied.

I took a quick look at the menu of so-called local cuisine, and found that the prices were not local at all.

"Rice with a raw egg and a glass of ginger ale." Kazuma made the decision quickly.

"Here's the yakiniku and chazuke set meal." Kerry chose a set meal that looked pretty normal.

Watching the two of them sit down after being invited, the man at the other table looked at his daughter who instantly became nervous.

"Yili, it seems that you, Xiuhua, are the only ones in Tokyo that have had a holiday because a student witnessed a murder. Those two guys look about your age. Do you want to go and say hello?"

The pink-haired girl, whose pronunciation sounded very much like "yiren" (one person), or "yili" (one li), but was actually written as "du", shook her head repeatedly.

"No... no need."

ps: Goto Ichiri: From Lonely Rock

Introduction: Socially anxious, likes to be praised, honest, and easy to bully.

ps2: I really want to play pachinko every day and let Goto Ichiri play guitar to support me!

ps3: Speaking of which, friends in the old book group should know that originally Kazuma's role was for Xiangzi, but later because it was too miserable and he was afraid of being criticized, he rewrote it.

Chapter 17: Birth and Appearance

Kazuma's meal was served quickly, but Kerry's was served a little slower.

There were no chairs here, only cushions on which people would kneel to eat. However, Chris sat in a standard undead posture, with one knee raised and his hand resting on it.

Chris looked at Kazuma who slowly poured the raw egg on the rice, then sprinkled the sauce on it and stirred it, with an embarrassed look on his face.

Kazuma noticed Keri's gaze.

"Do you want to eat? How about we exchange some of the food later? I haven't eaten yet."

"No."

"I'm starting to eat." He said softly and lowered his head to eat.

Kerry rejected Kazuma's enthusiasm. After his meal came, he looked at the bowl which was only the size of his fist and shook his head.

Japanese people generally eat very small portions, and a normal Chinese person can basically eat two servings.
