Chapter 102. I totally get it!

Although the truth from nine years ago was still distant, Beichuan Si now had at least an investigative target.

Shenzhu Village, the Magong Family—these were all subjects that needed investigation.

But when Beichuan Si thought about how there was so little online coverage even about 'Shenzhu Village', let alone things like Shenzhu Shrine.

"But the local library in Shimadu City might have records, if it recorded the newspapers initially covering Shenzhu Village..."

From the diary of Magong Dongzi, it was not difficult to infer that during that time, she had merely been a junior in Shenzhu Village. Therefore, the history of Shenzhu Village might be traceable even back to the Showa period, conservatively estimated to the Taisho era, and possibly as far as the even more distant Meiji era.

If customs from such a distant era were passed down, then it was quite normal for them to be intermixed with 'barbaric' and 'bloody' practices.

Magong Dongzi mentioned it later in her diary.
