The Tosu hero suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.
Oops!
Although brown bears rarely attack humans in the spring and summer when food is abundant, I had intruded before and scared away the brown bear's prey. The brown bear might be so angry that it might think of me as a substitute for the deer.
Can’t run. Can’t run.
Cold sweat oozed from Tosu Hero's forehead, but he was also very clear that turning around and running away would only stimulate the brown bear's hunting desire.
And even if you are the world champion in sprinting, you can't outrun a brown bear.
Humans, who walk upright and have no hair on their bodies, are monsters beyond the imagination of brown bears.
If the stalemate continues like this, the brown bear might retreat on its own.
"Whoosh whoosh."
The brown bear's wet black nose twitched a few times, and it slowly approached Tosu Hideo.
"It was the smell of blood on my body that irritated the brown bear!"
Tosu Hideo understood everything in an instant, his face turned pale and he could not help but step back.
"Hoohoho-"
The brown bear also let out a low roar, and moved closer and closer, almost ready to pounce.
"No, don't come over!"
The Tosu hero was so frightened that he was at a loss. He slipped and fell into the stream, waving his hands and feet around.
The black stitches on his left wrist suddenly broke, and his left fist shot out, hitting the brown bear's fragile nose.
"Ow!"
The brown bear screamed.
I saw more than a dozen two or three meter long black tentacles emerging from the left wrist of the Tosu Hero, waving in the air.
The brown bear had never seen such a monster before. It was so scared that it turned around and ran away.
“Huhuhuhu, what kind of monster have I turned into? Even the brown bear was scared away by me.”
The Tosu hero who survived the disaster withdrew his left hand through the connected black tentacles with a complicated expression.
His body has now become this strange structure. Can he really return to his previous warm and happy daily life?
Will Linghua and the child’s mother think I’m a monster?
But if it hadn't turned out like this, I would have died twice.
If I die here, who can protect this family from the wind and rain?
We must get out of Aokigahara as soon as possible!
The Tosu hero didn't care that his strength had not yet recovered. He walked from the stream to the shore, and with difficulty, he moved his heavy feet and walked downstream along the stream.
"So cold, so cold."
Although I'm not sure of the exact time, it should still be morning and there's a chill in the air.
Tosu Hideo was only wearing a thin shirt, and he got wet from sitting in the stream just now. The evaporating water vapor took away his body temperature, making him shiver.
Tosu Hideo couldn't help but think of the coat on the corpse hanging on the tree.
"No, this is too blasphemous to the dead. We are not at the end of our rope yet. It is not winter yet. Besides, the temperature will rise at noon. Just be patient and we will be able to get out soon."
Tosu Hideo felt somewhat guilty for the evil thoughts that had arisen in his mind earlier.
"what is this?"
Tosu Hero walked along the stream for another half an hour, and suddenly saw the flash of metal not far from the river bank.
He hesitated for a moment, but still walked over.
I saw a shallow pit on the higher earth slope of the river bank, under a few rugged trees, in which lay a body that had weathered into dry bones.
A faded men's suit, a discarded shovel and a bottle of sleeping pills.
It seemed like an ordinary suicide in Aokigahara.
But right above the pit, like a tombstone, there was a large box of dusty, unopened Kamen Rider suits.
It’s also a super rare 10th anniversary collector’s edition!
Chapter 187 Chapter 189 Sympathy
"Masked Rider's suit?"
Although Hero Tosu is not a fan of special effects, he has heard of the national IP Kamen Rider.
Coming to Aokigahara Forest to commit suicide is not uncommon, but committing suicide while wearing Kamen Rider's 10-year collector's edition suit is too unbelievable.
"Amitabha."
The hero of Tosu clasped his hands together and observed a moment of silence for the stranger who died.
Then he picked up the shovel on the ground.
The metal reflection you saw before came from here, and this may be used for self-defense.
"There's something under the shovel. It's a death note and... a letter to my daughter."
Tosu Hideo found two letters wrapped in a transparent waterproof plastic bag under the shovel.
One of them said "death note" and the other said "to my dear daughter".
Tosu Hideo hesitated slightly, but still opened the death letter.
Nothing that could prove the identity of the remains was found at the scene, and the deceased left a death note that was intended for the finder or the survivors to read.
"Poor thing, so pitiful! Moribe-kun, how could fate be so unfair to you."
After reading the contents of the death letter, Hideo Tosu's eyes soon became red and tears could not stop flowing.
Moribe-kun, who chose to commit suicide at Aokigahara, was an ordinary middle-aged office worker like Tosu Hideo. He was also married and the father of a lovely daughter.
Just like Hideo Tosu's hobby is reading and writing mystery novels, Moribe-kun has always been passionate about Kamen Rider in addition to his busy work.
However, unlike Tosu Hideo who had a virtuous wife, Moribe-kun met the wrong person. His wife had an affair with his boss behind his back, and Moribe-kun accidentally discovered the incident.
Afterwards, Moribe-kun conducted a secret investigation and discovered his wife's shameful past. She had been a prostitute, worked in the adultery, made movies, and even maintained physical relationships with several men other than her boss.
The distressed Moribe-kun thought a lot and wanted to pick up a knife to kill the adulterers, but when he thought of his daughter, he endured it and tried to deceive himself and pretend that nothing had happened.
But in the end, Moribe-kun couldn't even continue to be a Ninja Turtle. A paternity test report completely knocked him down. It turned out that the precious daughter he had raised for more than ten years was not his child!
Moribe-kun, who had lost all hope, finally chose to come to Aokigahara to commit suicide.
Before he died, Moribe-kun remembered that he had given up buying Kamen Rider peripherals because of the huge pressure from real estate mortgage and work.
He took out the money he had saved from lunch, cigarettes and alcohol, which he had originally intended to use to buy his wife a birthday present, and bought the last luxurious and expensive Kamen Rider suit of his life.
As a final indulgence and luxury, as one's own burial object.
Hideo Tosu looked at the date of the death letter, which was 2019.
"It was the 31st year of the Heisei era, the first year of the Reiwa era. Moribe-kun has been lying in this place for four years without anyone knowing. It's so pitiful."
A destitute and desperate middle-aged man who was betrayed by his wife came to Aokigahara alone, silently dug a grave for himself, took sleeping pills, lay in the shallow pit with his eyes closed, waiting to die.
When he thought of this sad scene, Tosu Hideo felt extremely sad.
"Oh, oh, oh, how pitiful! How pitiful!"
Tears welled up in Tosu Hideo's eyes, as if he saw his own reflection in this stranger man.
They are all ordinary and kind men who do their best to protect their families.
Although I am overwhelmed by the pressure from the company on weekdays, as long as I think of the smiling faces of my wife and daughter, I can suppress all the fatigue in my body and muster up the energy to go to work the next day.
But in the end, the treasure they valued most also began to fall apart.
It’s just that Moribe-kun’s family is from the inside to the outside, while he is from the outside to the inside.
Tosu Hideo couldn't even imagine how heartbroken Zeroka and the child's mother would be if he died in Aokigahara Forest.
He wiped his tears and read the farewell letter again.
Moribe-kun hopes that whoever finds his remains will give his daughter another letter on the day she reaches adulthood.
The letter also included an address: Moribe-kun was from Tennoji, Osaka.
The eyes of the Hero of Tosu became red again.
When he mentioned his wife in the letter, it was full of deep hatred, but for the sake of his daughter, Moribe finally gave up on taking revenge on that vicious woman.
Although he knew that she was not his biological daughter, every word in the letter revealed his deep love for his daughter.
"Mr. Moribe, I have received your last wish. I will definitely hand this letter to your daughter intact."
Tosu Hideo solemnly wrapped the two letters in transparent plastic and placed them on the ground.
If Moribe-kun were still alive, they would definitely have a lot in common, because they both have the same name, which is father.
The hero of Tosu picked up a shovel, shoveled up the soil with great effort, and buried the remains hastily.
This is all we can do now. Wait until he walks out of the Aokigahara Forest, then call the police to collect Moribe-kun's body.
The Hero of Tosu rested for a while and was about to start again, but his eyes stayed on the Kamen Rider suit next to the tomb.
This 10th anniversary Kamen Rider suit comes with complete equipment from head to toe, including a masked helmet, boots, and cape.
He walked barefoot in the Aokigahara forest, his feet were already worn out, and his clothes were very thin. After being soaked by the stream water, his body temperature evaporated when the cold wind blew.
He didn't know how far he had to go, or whether he could get out of the Aokigahara Sea of Trees today. If this continued, Tosu Hideo didn't know how long he could hold on.
"Morube-kun, please lend me your strength! I am also a father who needs to protect my family."
Hero Tosu knelt on the ground, kowtowed to the tomb, and then opened the packaging shell of Kamen Rider without hesitation.
This Kamen Rider suit is for adult men, and it surprisingly fits Hero Tosu perfectly.
After putting on the black Kamen Rider suit, Hideo Tosu's body was completely covered, and the conspicuous stitches on his left wrist were also hidden under the gloves.
Tosu Hideo picked up the Kamen Rider's helmet with some hesitation.
After hesitating for a moment, he finally put it on his head.
This helmet also has many uses in the wild, and it might come in handy.
Before, when I was running through the bushes, my cheeks would be scratched by branches from time to time. Now with this Kamen Rider helmet, I can feel more at ease.
"Mr. Moribe, may your spirit in heaven protect me and help me successfully protect my family."
Tosu Hideo hid the two letters close to his body, kowtowed again, regrouped, and walked out along the stream.
Chapter 188 Chapter 190 Mount Fuji hides more than just corpses
Mount Fuji is an active volcano that is still dormant. It has erupted eighteen times in recorded history.
Among them, the great eruption in the sixth year of Zhenguan filled the sea on the northern foot of Mount Fuji with lava, giving birth to the Aokigahara Sea of Trees.
The Aokigahara Sea Sponge stretches for dozens of kilometers and covers an area of more than 3000 hectares. How insignificant it is to walk alone in it. The Tosu Hero, wearing a Kamen Rider suit, walked downstream along the stream, not knowing how long he had been walking.
It could be one hour, it could be three hours.
Modern people become very insensitive to time after losing their mobile phones.
Tosu Hero is just an office worker who lacks exercise, with a thin body and poor physical strength. In addition, he was tortured by Kugo for a whole night and lost a lot of blood. The fact that he could trek in the wild for such a long time was because he was concerned about the safety of his family, and he inadvertently squeezed out all his physical strength and potential.
But after walking here, I was exhausted and even more hungry.
He had not eaten a single grain of rice since he was kidnapped by Yakuza of the Asatori Group last afternoon. Tosu Hideo began to suspect that if he didn't eat something, he might pass out.
"Is there anything I can eat?"
Tosu Hero sat on a rock and looked around. He saw that both sides of the river were lined with rugged and dense trees, and the ground was covered with green moss, lichens and other moss plants. There was nothing edible at all.
Just then, Tosu Hideo saw a few orange spots hanging in the bushes on the other side of the stream.
They are wild berries.
Tosu Hideo was delighted and tried to stand up, but his feet felt as heavy as if they were filled with lead.
