Chapter 239: An Adult-like Villager
The previous judgment on whether the copy is dangerous or not, that is, when the night comes, is related to the safety of one's own life, which is the so-called laughter of children.
This is part of the rules that pertain to children.
The others are of course among them.
[If you hear a child's cry, please ignore it, it proves that you are safe......]
[If you hear a child's laughter, ignore it, turn off the light source, and hold your breath until the child's laughter disappears and becomes crying again......]
This part is about the rules about children before they go to the island, including the content of the note in their hands now.
[Children under 12 years old are safe ......]
Although there is only one sentence, and the rest of the content seems to be unimportant, I just think it is a very important thing.
If you want to escape from this island, or even find a way to be able to restrain "Him", you can only start with the matter of Aphroda, and you can only start with the identity of "child".
Xie Chen stood up and wiped the network of relationships he had written on the ground with his feet.
"If you want to find a way to deal with 'Him,' where do you start?"
Xie Chen's eyes squinted slightly, and his mind was full of this question.
Aphroga and his parents are dead, and the family was brought from the mainland to the island for sacrifice, and it is not known whether they are dead or alive.
Even the village chief who killed the family is still unclear whether he is alive or not, and the description of the notebook left by the priest alone is obviously not comprehensive.
If the two villagers didn't show up, he would still be able to conjecture that all the villagers died at "Him's" hands.
But now after personal experience, these villagers seem to be under the control of "Him".
Xie Chen held his chin in one hand and frowned in thought.
Before Aphroga's family came to this island, "he" didn't seem to have exploded so crazy, and if there was a way to solve it completely, it should still be attributed to Aphroga.
This is also one of the ways to solve the problem.
"Could it be that 'He' descended on this island through the dead Aphroga and began to slowly control and torture the villagers on this island?"
I still agree with this opinion.
If this were not the case, it is difficult to say why the "He", who had existed before, had to wait until after the death of the little girl, Aphroda, to start doing it.
And under the traces of "he" suspicion, the note records the tragic situation of the villagers when they finally died, and at the end it is followed by a description of the strange and strange altar.
As long as you can find the altar, you should be able to find a solution to the problem.
Xie Chen slapped his cheeks with his dirt-stained hands, mixed with the smell of earth, and his brain became clearer than a little in an instant.
If you want to find this altar, you have to go to the very center of the village.
It may be that the place of sacrifice is there, but this is not necessarily the case.
The other thing is to think about why the rules don't let you enter the cemetery.
Isn't the cemetery where Aphroga's biological parents are buried?
According to a little girl's original character, even if she is eroded by weirdness, she should be dependent on her biological parents.
Xie Chen frowned, and he thought of this as he searched for a route into the village.
Maybe Aphroga was persecuted by the villagers in the village, so he would be so wary of those who were close to his biological parents......
Of course, this is just my own speculation, and I don't need to enter the cemetery for the time being, so I don't plan to spend more time in this area.
Xie Chen breathed a sigh of relief, although he said it so easily, but all this still needs to be established in the case of the village sacrifice place and not in the cemetery, otherwise he is also a wishful clown.
"God willing."
Xie Chen frowned and sighed, but he was not so naïve to think that everything would go well in this copy.
As he quietly entered a narrow road below, he could be regarded as following the cat into the village.
It's just that compared to the first time, this time I seem much more stable, and I don't dare to make any extra moves, except for familiarizing myself with the walkways in the village, which is to investigate the routes that can lead to the center around me.
As the path deepened, he also came to the attic where he had almost lost his life, and the two villagers were completely gone.
Xie Chen was still standing in place, cautiously probing his vision in, but he didn't dare to be too blatant, if "he" just returned the same way, he would suffer an old sin.
Fortunately, all these worries were unnecessary, and this action did not attract the prying eyes of "Him".
I also accept it when I see it, and I leave the surrounding area as soon as possible, and I even wish to go far away to have a sense of security.
The attic just now is not the central point of this village, and it is more than a distance back, and it is gradually closer to the position.
"Strange, how does this place feel so familiar?"
Looking at the scene in front of him, Xie Chen couldn't help but wonder.
It stands to reason that if you go some distance further, you will almost be the center of the village.
But now, it was like before entering the village, and there was no difference even to the buildings next to it, and if it hadn't been for such a long walk before, I would have even wondered if I had taken the wrong road.
I was just about to turn into a left crossing next to me, but suddenly I found that two people came out carrying things from inside.
Xie Chen subconsciously hid, and drilled into the corner next to him, where there was a notch where a small cabinet was placed, and if he squeezed it, his body could squeeze in.
But just when he thought that he could avoid the sight of the two villagers in front of him, a person behind him suddenly patted him on the shoulder.
"Boy, what are you doing hiding in this place?"
"How come you've never seen this old face? You're not the new to this island, are you? ”
Xie Chen was startled by this old voice, and even the whole person was in fright, and he couldn't slow down.
"Ah, this, this, this, this ......"
Xie Chen turned his head awkwardly, looking at the old figure that appeared in front of him, and was a little overwhelmed for a while.
"Why are you still stammering when you speak, is it possible that your kid can't understand what the old man means?"
Xie Chen hurriedly shook his head, this old figure reminded him of a certain identity, but he was not sure.
Just as he was hesitating what to do, a woman carrying a bucket in front of him walked out from the side of the street.
"Yo village chief?"
"How can you have the leisure to go out for a walk today?"
Xie Chen looked at the woman carrying the bucket, and at first he thought that why did someone suddenly appear? But I was only surprised by this one place.
But when she followed herself, she realized that something was wrong, one of the woman's feet was covered with many bloody scratches, and there was even a small sign of fire.
A foul smell came from that foot, and I could imagine the maggots crawling inside.
When I think of this picture, I can't help but feel disgusted.
But the group of things around him was like not seeing a woman's feet, and the two figures who were originally carrying things next to him also walked past him.
The two of them spoke quietly, and their attention was focused on the old man and the woman in front of them, and they didn't pay much attention to what the two guys were saying.
When he stretched out his finger and pointed ahead, he was even a little stunned.
I just wanted to tell the old guy in front of me, didn't I see the strangeness on the woman's feet?
Left and right are afraid that they will say something wrong, and cause "He" to come back to the group of people in front of them, and it is themselves who will suffer.
If you want to be able to stand in the realm of absolute safety, you have to figure out how to get the key to unlocking this copy.
"What are you doing, young man?"
"Your inexplicable appearance, it's hard for the old man not to doubt what your true identity is."
The old man's eyes seemed to be unable to open, but the gray eyebrows on his head hung very low, almost in line with his nose.
It is estimated that it is behind the ear, or the hearing is slow due to old age, and after the woman behind him called out a few words, the old guy in front of him reacted.
"Yo, I'm quite diligent today, Second Miss Wang."
"We prayed before, and we wasted a lot of time on the way, and it was almost time to have dinner anyway, so the old man took this time to walk outside."
Xie Chen looked at the old guy in front of him and turned around, and originally wanted to complain in his heart, is this old guy behind his ears?
It's okay not to turn around, but as soon as I turned around, I was stunned, and my pupils shrank slightly.
The back of the old man in front of him actually had a big hole cracked, and he could even see the bones and internal organs of the old guy.
There was not a trace of crimson, all the internal organs were black, and there was even a burning smell with a slight fishy smell in between.
It's not that intense, but when you're so close, it's still disgusting like stuffing your head into a bucket of swill.
Xie Chen resisted the urge to vomit, and quickly moved sideways to the side, but accidentally bumped into the two guys who were carrying things next to him.
"Why can't you just crawl on the ground and see the road?"
One of the people who was bumped into by himself whispered in a very dissatisfied tone, if it wasn't for such a close distance, he might not be able to hear clearly.
Xie Chen covered his mouth and nose uncomfortably, raised his head and was about to apologize, but this guy had already reached out and grabbed him.
Xie Chen's eyes widened, and what caught his eyes was a palm with only a skeleton left, and the sharp fingers seemed to be about to take off his eyeballs.
Xie Chen struggled to turn his body, and only then did he get rid of this skeleton-like palm for the first time.
The thing he was carrying next to him was kicked by himself, and a whole box of wood slipped down.
There seems to be a small piece of unknown stuff in the middle.
Xie Chen gasped, sweating all over his body, staring at the people in front of him.
The timber that he had hit began to fall in pieces, and the black thing in the middle rolled up the slope in front of him.
Xie Chen took a deep breath.
The black thing in front of him had strange runes carved on it, and in the middle was a concave ring.
There was a lot of incense ash in the ring, and as the thing slided, all the incense ashes were sprinkled on the ground.
"Idiot! What the hell are you doing? ”
"This will anger the gods we revere, and if the punishment is lowered, will it be difficult to take your lives?"
The old man, who had a whole big hole in his back, was so angry that his eyebrows were raised, and he pointed at the two skinny guys who were carrying things and scolded loudly.
Xie Chen was shocked in his heart, and immediately thought of the custom of the villagers to worship "Him".
Aphroda was sacrificed to "Him" by such villagers......
Xie Chen used the power of the pocket watch, and the scene in front of him instantly froze.
No wonder the rules mention that the appearance of the villagers is not what they are conventionally known for, these guys can be said to be just human-looking monsters......
