Chapter 41: Why Did The Rock Wall Move?

Chapter 41: Why Did The Rock Wall Move?

In the next three days, Aoba seemed to have really devoted himself to the study of stone carvings.

Every day, He would go to Old Master Yamashita's place to practice. If there were a chance, he would follow other craftsmen to climb the Hokage Rock and personally watch how they perform the inspection and finishing work. When he returned home at night, he would personally carve two stones to practice. After all, the dog system had a requirement for completion. He thought that if he passed the standard, he would have to carve a person's appearance at the very least.

As for the addition of a child in the artisan team, naturally, people came to ask.

At that time, he was really nervous for a moment. Fortunately, Yamashita was very powerful. He simply explained a few words and casually sent the person away. This also meant that his appearance was no longer abrupt. As long as he did not do any strange actions, ordinary people would ignore him even if they saw him.

Then he learned from Yamashita that the end work would be completely over the day after tomorrow. Then, there would be a simple unveiling ceremony. He also learned that there would be many people coming to watch.

The sky, the terrain, the people, and all at once!

Therefore, Aoba decided not to drag it on any longer. He wanted to use the last two days to complete his suicide mission!

....

It was late at night.

Aoba carried the tools and stones to the bottom of the Hokage rock. Then, he skillfully borrowed the equipment left by the craftsmen and stepped on the hanging board to a blank rock wall next to Yondaime's eyes.

After three days of observation, he had already determined the best carving position.

As long as he was not unlucky enough to drink cold water and fill the gaps between his teeth, he should not be discovered in advance so that he could hold on until the day of the unveiling ceremony.

Therefore, he no longer hesitated. He put down the things on his back, took out the chisel and other tools, and began to knock on them carefully.

Although sounds were coming from the night sky from time to time, it was far enough from the place where the villagers lived. And also, he was cautious. He would stop when he carved for a while. Once there was any movement, he would stop immediately and be ready to carry out Plan B at any time.

Just like this, there were occasional subtle sounds that people would not care if they heard them.

Moreover, tonight was the celebration party for the craftsmen. Most of them were sleeping very soundly at this time. Moreover, there was still a certain distance from here. As long as he sensed that someone was coming this way, Aoba would immediately react.

....

An hour passed...

Looking at the gradually chiseled wall in front of him, Aoba gradually relaxed. His hands also began to move faster, but he never relaxed his vigilance.

It was really exciting to do bad things so sneakily!

When the time came, even ghosts would know what he had done, so there was no need to cover it up at all.

.......

After barely sleeping, Aoba didn't even have time to eat when he woke up and directly rushed to the Hokage Rock.

Now that the entire plan had progressed to a ninety percent degree, what was left was to not be discovered in the next two days, and there would be enough people on the day of the opening.

Although it was just a simple project, there should still be a lot of people coming to witness this scene that day. There should be a hundred people.

So what he had to do now was to keep an eye on these craftsmen and not let them discover this 'flaw' on the Hokage Rock.

.....

"It's Aoba. I already said that finishing work is very boring. I don't know why you have to suffer with us."

As soon as Aoba appeared, a craftsman already familiar with his existence greeted him with a smile.

"That is to say, if you have the time to find three to five friends to go out for a drink, it is simply heaven ---"

"Haha, you damn drunkard, don't spoil the child."

...

Aoba greeted everyone in a familiar manner while following behind them to check around as he did a few days ago.

This kind of work only needed to be carried out once a day, which meant that as long as there were no problems with the routine check today and tomorrow, it would be considered a smooth pass.

In fact, the finishing work had been carried out until now, and the small problems that could be found and solved had already been discovered and solved.

For the next two days, he probably had the mentality of checking the missing parts and checking to see if the sculptures that had been carved had been affected by the weather and cracked and fell off.

Generally speaking, the work completed by Yamashita would not have had such an accident, so everyone was very relaxed.

However, at this moment, an accident happened.

As a breeze blew by, one of the craftsmen immediately made a sound of surprise and rubbed his eyes suspiciously.

"Why did the smooth rock wall move just now?"
