Chapter 35: The Strange Islanders
"So what exactly do those three villages do?" Xu Tian asked.
"The village we experienced on the island is called Hejia Village, but in fact, there is not a single family in the village with the surname He." Xiao Ai said.
"It's new." Xu Tian said.
"The people in that village all have one characteristic, they don't like to express themselves, and everybody is very depressed. When we walked on the village road, none of the people we met raised their faces, and they all walked with their heads crossed. Xiao Ai said.
"Is the whole village like this?" Xu Tian asked.
"Of course, but in addition to the police on duty on the island, it is very normal for the police to be stationed on the island, and this is also our only safe haven." Xiao Ai said.
"It's really embarrassing for you that you can't see a normal villager there." Xu Tian said.
"When we first landed on the island, we found out that all the police on the island were sent from the mainland, but they were also very reluctant to be on duty on the island because they couldn't sleep well every night." Xiao Ai said.
"I can almost guess why they can't sleep well, there is a big problem with the villagers." Xu Tian said.
"Not only is there a big problem, those villagers are like active zombies at night, and the low mood during the day has all disappeared, so Hejia Village was later changed to Yin-Yang Village, because the people in the village are like Yin-Yang people, they are very depressed during the day, and they are very excited at night." Xiao Ai said.
"This is not a normal manifestation, is it related to the experiment of the elder Tai Sui?" Xu Tian asked.
"Needless to say, I know that it must be like this, but the villagers seem to know nothing, their minds are completely controlled, and everyone does not know how dangerous their situation is." Xiao Ai said.
"You mean, the villagers don't know they're abnormal?" Xu Tian asked.
"Of course, they don't know that they are abnormal people at all, so it can be seen that they have been controlled for a long time, and their symptoms are the same whether they are adults or children in Hejia Village." Xiao Ai said.
"Did you find anything incredible in this village?" Xu Tian asked.
"Of course, there is a bonfire every night in this village, like the nomadic way of celebrating, but their way of celebrating is a little strange, everyone else celebrates this kind of bonfire when they celebrate or go out to play, but the reason they hold a bonfire is that everyone is excited at night. They were very excited about the excitement they could achieve at night, and it made me feel like a vampire was in the mood at night. Xiao Ai said.
"This doesn't sound like a human way of life, isn't it true that the villagers of Hejia Village are all vampires?" Xu Tian said in surprise.
"It's not an exaggeration to call them vampires, because they do live in this state, but compared to the way of life in Hejia Village, the village in the northeast of the island is more uncomfortable." Xiao Ai said.
"What happened to that village?" Xu Tian asked.
"That village is called Bianjia Village, and most of them are fishermen who make a living from fishing, and Bianjia Village is also the village with the best fishing business on the island, but everyone in Bianjia Village has a habit of sleeping in the water when they sleep at night." Xiao Ai said.
"Sleeping in the water? What's going on? Xu Tian asked.
"They are like fish, they can't live without water, whether it is sea water or fresh water, in short, they must be in the bathtub when they sleep, and even some people soak their bodies in a large fish tank, or build a small swimming pool in their own home, in Bianjia Village, each family has its own small swimming pool, which is a basic configuration of the building." Xiao Ai said.
"The villagers in this village are like fish, and when you talk about this, I always feel that the Hejia Village in front of me is like a bat." Xu Tian said.
"The villagers of both villages are in this state, but they are not as good as the last one." Xiao Ai said.
"What did the villagers in this last village do?" Xu Tian asked.
"The last village is called the inland village, which is the most central village on the island, and the reason why this inland village is called the inland village is because this village is in the center of the island, there is no sea around the inland village, and the face of the village is also the smallest of the five villages. But the inland village is indeed the heart of the island, and it is also where the police station and the civil affairs department are located. Xiao Ai said.
"What's the weirdness here?" Xu Tian asked.
"Speaking of inland villages, when you first go in, you would never think that the villagers there are abnormal, because every villager looks very sunny. And they are warm, when walking on the village road, there are always people who come to ask where you are going, if you can't find the way, they will help you guide, every villager is like a living road sign, in short, it feels very comfortable. Xiao Ai said.
"How can I feel like everyone in this village is a smiling tiger." Xu Tian said.
"You're right, they're all smiling tigers, in fact, there is nothing special about this village, but the villagers inside are all very dark-bellied, and everyone looks like a good person with a smile on the surface, but they will suddenly give you a knife in the back, and even push you into the sea. The people in this inner furnace village are all like demons, they are just joking about the crimes they have committed, and to be precise, the inland village is more like a place that no one can manage. Xiao Ai said.
"If you say so, this inland village is indeed the most frightening place, but these three villages each have very different factors that are very contrary to this society, if what you said is true, then among the five villages on the island, it can be said that only Caogang Village is the most normal." Xu Tian said.
"That's because you haven't really seen the villagers of Caogang Village, you must know that all the villagers of Caogang Village you have seen since you went to the island are pretending to be policemen, do you know why the police dare not let you directly face the villagers of Caogang Village?" Xiao Ai said.
"It can't be because Caogang Village is the scariest place, right?" Xu Tian said in surprise.
"Caogang Village can be described as a gathering place for replicants, and it is not the most terrifying, but the people in Caogang Village are all people who have died." Xiao Ai said.
