Although Qin Zhibo couldn't understand what was going on at that time, he only guessed that she had been attacked by some great being.

But later, Qin Zhibo saw from the mysterious classic "The Secret of Worms" written by Ludwig Purin that the "Wendigo", a popular snow monster legend in the United States and Canada, was actually Itaqua and his

heirs.

Itaqua will capture people who are lost in the blizzard, confuse their minds with the storm, and turn them into zombie-like creatures.

Combined with the fact that after discovering the "Snow Girl", I was attacked by a certain great being, I have reason to believe that it was Itakua.

And Yoko Asanuma, who was frozen by Itakua into a "snow girl", is naturally Itakuya's daughter.

Fortunately, the body was not disposed of.

If no one else had discovered it, the body would probably still be tied to the spruce tree.

"Let's pick a time and go there to have a look and get this material."

"Let's do it tomorrow..."

Qin Zhibo thought for a while and realized that this matter could not be delayed.

Let’s talk about going to the pet hospital to study after we get back.

…

At dawn the next day, Qin Zhibo drove to Sanri Town.

It is 300 kilometers away from Tokyo, which is quite a long distance for an island country.

A few hours later, near noon, he arrived at the hot spring village where he had stayed.

I saw people coming and going on the street, people wearing all kinds of skiing and cold-proof equipment. The number of people was several times more than the sparse flow of people when I came here.

"Why are there so many people?"

Qin Zhibo drove forward slowly. After seeing a public parking space, he finally squeezed his car in.

After getting off the bus, Qin Zhibo didn't waste any time. He had a quick bite at a local restaurant, then went to the ski resort to rent a set of cold-proof clothing and prepare to enter the mountain.

While renting clothes, he casually asked the aunt who rented clothes, why are there so many tourists now?

The aunt smiled and replied: "So you don't know yet? There are snow monsters in the snow mountains near our Sanri Town!"

"A snow monster?"

"Yeah, I won't lie to you! We found footprints of a snow monster here, and this matter was in the newspapers and TV news!"

As the aunt said this, she pointed to a newspaper clipping framed in a photo frame on the wall next to her.

The front page of the newspaper published a photo of a huge footprint in the snow with a man squatting next to it for comparison.

Seeing this photo, Qin Zhibo remembered that when he went down the mountain during the last incident, he did see some people discovering a huge footprint. Many local residents were so excited about this that they even forgot about the rescue mission into the mountain.

.

For the locals, the existence of snow monsters is secondary. What is important is that strange rumors appear here, which will attract tourists and boost the local economy.

"I understand, thank you, aunt."

Qin Zhibo put on his cold-proof clothes, said goodbye to his aunt, and walked toward the ski resort alone.

The aunt looked at Qin Zhibo's back and felt a little strange.

If a foreigner travels to such a remote place not just to see snow monsters, then why should he come here?

I remember that it wasn’t long before there was news about the “infestation of snow monsters” here, but many foreigners came all the way to investigate.

Suddenly, the aunt remembered that this guy only rented winter clothes and snow boots, but not skis.

"Boy! Your skis!"

Qin Zhibo in front stopped and turned around and said.

"No, it's your skis."

Aunt: "?"

…

Qin Zhibo doesn't need skis because he's not here to ski.

When he arrived at the ski resort, Qin Zhibo walked directly to the direction in his memory.

The ski resorts in Hot Spring Village are mainly concentrated on the slopes of a snow mountain, and another snow mountain echoing it is the place where the legendary "snow monster" haunts and the location of the "snow girl".

After an hour of walking, Qin Zhibo arrived at the foot of another snow mountain, passing by the place where the snow monster's footprints were last found.

That footprint has now been covered up by the wind and snow, and no mark can be seen.

At that time, public opinion generally believed that the footprints were left by a snow monster. One of the important reasons was that there were no other people's footprints or trees around the footprints. It was impossible to create this effect artificially.

The shortcoming of this logic is that there is only one footprint left there.

If it is a "snow monster" walking on two or four legs, it should leave a continuous series of footprints.

But in fact, Qin Zhibo's personal experience proves that the great being named "Itakua" can fly, and the footprints in the snow may just be his occasional foothold.

Fortunately, Itacua will only appear during snowstorms, and the probability of appearing under clear skies is infinitely close to 0.

The weather happens to be very sunny today.

Qin Zhibo mustered up his courage and climbed to the top of the snow mountain, which was not too high.

It was completely white here, and a long time had passed, so Qin Zhibo couldn't remember where Asanuma Yoko was tied to him.

So, he put on the magic extractor and recalled in his mind a woman's naked body, which was dark blue and hard from the cold.

After a while, a specific direction emerged in my mind.

Guided by this direction, Qin Zhibo found the original spruce tree behind a stone tile.
