Chapter 307
Hayato was totally stunned by his words . “You"re going down?”

At this moment, Hayato no longer cared whether Ryoto was a murderer or not . He walked to the side of the arbor and looked down the cliff . The bottom of the cliff was nothing but pitch-black darkness . If it was during the day, he would have felt dizzy at such a high alt.i.tude . Fortunately, it was night time now and everywhere was in complete darkness .
“Yes . ” Ryoto Amagasaki nodded his head solemnly . “I"ve got a feeling that Daisuke must be somewhere in a cave located in the middle of the mountain . Most probably he is in danger and is trapped inside . Or, he could have died inside the cave . This might be the reason why the police and everyone in Kobayas.h.i.+ Village could not find him for the past two days . ”
Hayato was at a loss for words now . He suddenly remembered a caustic quote from Mark Twain: “Truth is stranger than fiction, but it is because fiction is obliged to stick to possibilities . Truth isn"t . ”
All the treasure map, cave, disappearance, murder… Was the scene right in front of him not reflecting the quote? He had lived a normal life for more than 20 years . But now, his best friend had made him witness such an unbelievable moment . However, the truth was right in front of him . This friend of his wanted to climb down the cliff, which was about a 100 meters deep, and yet he was not able to stop him .
“Is this really necessary?” Hayato spoke with mixed emotions after being quiet for a long time . “You mentioned that most probably Daisuke was in a cave located in the middle of the mountain . He could have been careless during his climb and fell to his death . Or, he managed to get into the cave but got himself trapped in danger . Perhaps what you said about the treasure map is true but the dangers inside the cave might have killed Daisuke . If you were to climb down and enter the cave, do you think you can avoid the dangers? We are just normal human beings . Besides, if what you said was true, then the police or the residents of Kobayas.h.i.+ Village might not be able to find this cave . ”
Who would have thought that Daisuke Kojima had climbed down the cliff from this arbor and went into a cave in the middle of the mountain? This made no sense at all! It would take forever to find him .
Ryoto Amagasaki sighed deeply . “Everyone faces challenges in life . I"ve been living an ordinary life for more than twenty years . This will be the first grand challenge of my entire life . ”
“Speak Englis.h.!.+”

Ryoto Amagasaki laughed reluctantly . “If the cave really exists in the middle of the mountain, that means there is a possibility for the treasure to exist . If I manage to discover the cave, I can sell this information to someone else and make a fortune out of it . But of course, I need to get my hands on the bug as I don"t want anything to go wrong . If the body of Daisuke Kojima were to be found, Kyoko would definitely break up with me . ”
Daisuke Kojima had been missing for two days . There was a high possibility that he was already dead . n.o.body managed to contact him at all . Hayato could not think of any other possibilities that might befall Daisuke .
“Go on then . ” Hayato felt that he had nothing else to say since they were already here . If he were to stop Ryoto Amagasaki, he would never listen to his advice for sure .
“Don"t worry . If this is really where the treasure is hidden, I will give you a portion of it . ”
What else could Hayato do? He could only give out a faint smile . But right now, he started to trust Ryoto . After all, Ryoto Amagasaki asked him out to make sure everything goes on the right track, meaning that Ryoto had trust in him . Or else, he could have just untied the rope when Ryoto was climbing the cliff and had him killed instantly . Ryoto must have thought of this possibility as well but he still trusted him and brought him along . So, he had no reason to let Ryoto down .
Perhaps when he gets older in the future, he can share about today"s experience to his children . Thinking of this, Hayato stopped worrying and decided to take it easy .
On the other hand, Ryoto Amagasaki was fully prepared . With his safety helmet on and taking a deep breath, he looked down at the bottom of the mountain . It was pitch-dark, like the abyss of h.e.l.l . He gripped the ropes tightly and his heart was pounding rapidly before he started to make his move . A gust of cold air went straight up to the top of his skull and made him stand rooted to the ground .
“Ryoto, you can do this!” Ryoto Amagasaki encouraged himself in his heart while suppressing his fear . Today would be the day for him to get rich .

Speaking of getting rich, Ryoto Amagasaki thought of Daisuke Kojima again . To be honest, he and Daisuke Kojima were of the same kind . Both of them loved money . However, Daisuke Kojima"s affinity for money had reached the point of being obsessive, in which he would resort to unethical means to get money . As for him, he would not be that fanatic .
If he were to really manage to find the cave, he would do exactly as he said previously by selling the information and giving a portion of his earnings to Hayato . He would not be exploring the cave alone because G.o.d knows what kind of dangers could be inside it . What"s the point of getting the money if you can"t live to use it?
After having all these messy thoughts, his pale face slowly recovered . Ryoto Amagasaki gritted his teeth and gripped the rope . He said to Hayato, “I"m going down now . ”
“Don"t worry, I will guard the area . ” Hayato nodded with a serious expression .
As soon as Ryoto Amagasaki overcame his mental struggles and calmed himself down, he immediately climbed down the cliff of the mountain .
When Kimura Kazuki witnessed this moment, he did not go out . He wanted to see if Ryoto Amagasaki was really able to find the rumored cave .
Kimura believed every single word that Ryoto Amagasaki said . Although he had yet to reach the Metamorphosis State, he started to be sensitive toward human emotions . And it was not a problem for Kimura Kazuki to detect whether a person is lying or not . He had been listening and observing Ryoto Amagasaki for quite some time . From his point of view, he believed that Ryoto Amagasaki was not telling a lie .
Kimura Kazuki had never thought that Daisuke Kojima"s disappearance was related to treasure hunting instead of being murdered by a wraith or a monster .

Kimura Kazuki felt rather speechless . This was indeed something bizarre .
Just as Kimura Kazuki decided to wait for Ryoto Amagasaki"s news patiently, he felt a sudden jolt in his heart . His expression instantly became stern .
Someone broke the Detonator Talisman .
The next moment, Kimura Kazuki immediately left without drawing any attention .
If Daisuke Kojima really went missing during the treasure hunt, then anything about Daisuke Kojima was the business of normal human beings instead of his . His main purpose of coming to Kobayas.h.i.+ Village was to search for any wraith or monster .
Being able to detect the direction based on the destroyed Detonator Talisman, Kimura Kazuki arrived at the scene within 10 minutes .
As he approached the scene, he started to hear noises .
“You mentioned that you came here to explore the area?” Makoto Honda"s voice was heard with a tone of sternness in it . “You girls came up to Kanayama in the middle of the night instead of sleeping?”
Just as Makoto Honda finished talking, he saw a young man appear at a distance of less than ten meters ahead of him .
When Harunaka and the others saw Kimura Kazuki, all of them let out a sigh of relief .
“Senpai!” Harunaka looked at Kimura Kazuki pitifully .
Both Katsuki and Yayoi were also relieved upon seeing the approaching Kimura Kazuki . They never thought that they would meet the Firefighter Rescue Team at this late hour .
Kimura Kazuki was having a slight headache upon seeing the other firefighters beside Makoto Honda . He knew that there would be firefighters carrying out their duty at the other areas of Kanayama as well .
“You are?” Makoto Honda was slightly stunned upon seeing Kimura Kazuki who came here on foot . There was deep doubt in his eyes . “Are you their companion?”
“Yes…” Kimura Kazuki nodded .
Looking at Kimura Kazuki solemnly, Makoto Honda pointed at Harunaka and the girls . “I"ve been keeping an eye on them and I didn"t see them contacting anybody . ”
Kimura Kazuki was surprised to hear that as he never expected Makoto Honda to be such an attentive person .
