No one stopped me, and I walked a lot faster.

It is estimated that the strange talk has taken effect, so some of the buildings in front of which there was no movement have also reappeared a lot of people.

Xie Chen walked straight forward, pretending to be careless, these villagers who saw him, although they looked a little strange, but they didn't come up directly to talk to him like the old guy before.

It seems that even a village has a leader, obviously not facing himself, in fact, in this village to avoid those who have heads and faces, it is not too difficult to explore by yourself.

Besides, I still have a pocket watch in my hand to control the passage of time, although I don't have to rely on it all the time in such a dangerous situation.

But at least there is an extra guarantee in hand.

Xie Chen walked straight to the front, and when he heard what the old guy said, he couldn't help but worry now.

Because after the prayer came back, the old fellow was going to come out for a walk before dinner.

In other words, the time for the island, which is now slowly darkening, has come to the evening.

If you haven't found a way to get out of the island, you'll have to find a way to protect yourself.

After talking to the villagers, it was not clear to him why he had to leave the island before dark.

There are many uncertain aspects of the source of danger, it may come from "Him" on the island, or it can come from the villagers.

I can't be sure for the time being, after all, there is no indication for my own guessing and reference.

The farther I walked forward, the villagers next to me who didn't understand their origins were also quickly avoiding them.

Many villagers have some places that are not very close to "people", although they look particularly awkward, but they also comfort themselves in their hearts to get used to this feeling of difference early.

Xie Chen turned his head and tried to walk towards the side road, the road he was walking on was the way he was going to the depths of the village, and if he went back, it was the road he came from.

Fortunately, this place will not lose its way, and many buildings are actually in similar locations, but they can still be judged clearly.

When just turning a corner, a sturdy middle-aged man walked in front of him with a handful of incense candles.

It can be seen that he is also in a hurry to rush back, and on his body, he did not see any erosion, which means that it is weird, and it has not left too many traces on his body.

Xie Chen felt a sense of familiarity, could this guy be the priest who left the note?

The other villagers were either holding farm tools or decorating some other things, and the only thing related to the sacrifice was the two "skeleton soldiers" who were carrying firewood and sacrificial boxes, and this sturdy middle-aged man was the third.

I followed him closely, and I couldn't help but slow down a little, for fear that this guy would realize that someone was following him.

After all, he is not from this village, and if he is too ostentatious, he will inevitably attract the attention of this guy.

If you are vigilant, you may have some trouble with your next exploration.

This is the least necessary.

Xie Chen walked slowly, but before he took a few steps, the guy in front of him immediately turned his head, as if he had found himself.

Xie Chen's anti-reconnaissance ability was also very "adaptable", and he immediately turned around with his trouser pocket in his trouser pocket and leaned against the wall of a house next to him.

It seems that I am enjoying the scenery of the aisle, but compared to other villagers, the gap is also widened immediately, and I know that I am out of place at a glance.

Obviously, he also realized this, and Xie Chen immediately pretended to be more relaxed, but he seemed too lax, and he looked very out of place anyway.

Stopping in front of him, the middle-aged man who stood in place and suspected to be a priest squinted his eyes and glanced at himself, only to feel that the person in front of him looked very suspicious.

"Hey, why do you look so raw?"

Hearing the guy behind him speak, Xie Chen, who showed his back, didn't continue to pretend, after all, everyone had already seen his weirdness.

In fact, I can't hang it up again.

"I came to this island from outside, and now I'm thinking about a way to get out of it."

"Can you help me, please?"

Xie Chen tried his best to pretend to be calmer, and simply confided in his heart like the middle-aged man in front of him.

As soon as the first half of the sentence was finished, the handful of incense candles in the man's hand fell to the ground in one go.

Looking at his stunned appearance, it was obvious that he was already surprised.

After a moment of surprise, then his face changed slightly, and from his body, Xie Chen saw a trace of displeasure.

Xie Chen squinted his eyes and took a step back, but the guy in front of him abandoned the incense candles on the ground and walked towards him quickly.

The villagers next to him didn't seem to see him, and the few people walking on the road still strode forward, saying that the person who was walking towards him was regarded as air.

"How...... What's wrong? ”

Xie Chen didn't feel malice, this guy's angry look could be felt clearly.

"Who told you to come to this island?"

"Don't you really want to live?"

Xie Chen looked at his angry appearance, it seemed that he was indeed guilty of the death of Aphroga's parents.

"I, too, came to this island by accident when I was driving a dinghy on the island, because I lost my way in the middle......"

Xie Chen's brain turned, and he temporarily told a small lie.

After listening to his own explanation, the middle-aged man in front of him clutched his collar's hand, and then let go slightly.

"That's ......"

"It's a pity that no one can do anything to destroy the entire island......"

The middle-aged man was a little discouraged, lowered his head and sighed, and said another sentence that made him a little puzzled.

"It would be nice if I could be a bird, and I guess I would be able to fly off the ground and escape the ...... of predetermined destruction."

Xie Chen's face was full of doubts: "What are you talking about?" ”

The middle-aged man shook his head, walked slowly, and went back to pick up the incense candles that had fallen on the ground.

"Just call me Jetro."

"I'm the priest of this village, so come with me for the time being."

Xie Chen looked at Jetro's back, his face was full of solemnity, and he really guessed the identity of this guy.

He knew why he invited him to come with him, as an outsider to an island where he would be ostracized by the villagers forever.

It is estimated that only by following Jethro's side can he barely get a little safety.

Xie Chen was a little helpless, isn't this Aphroga's situation?

Soon, following Jetro's steps, he came to a hut in an alley.

The cottage is a bit dim and is on the second floor.

As soon as I opened the door and entered the room, there was a sound of footsteps from upstairs.

"Uncle Jethro, are you back?"

Xie Chen heard a very crisp and pleasant little girl's voice.

It must have been Aphroga speaking.

Jethro immediately changed his smile and replied happily: "It's me, is there anyone at home today?" ”

A little girl who was about the height of her navel ran down from the second floor, wearing a relatively wide shirt, and was holding a notebook in her bare feet.

When he saw the little girl running down, Jethro motioned for himself to close the door of the house, and then greeted her with a smile.

"Our Aphroga is really obedient."

Aphroga jumped into Jethro's arms.

"Uncle Jethro, Aphroga has a good diary, don't believe it."

Aphroga handed the diary in his hand to Jethro with a smile on his face.

Hearing the word diary, Xie Chen also frowned, and immediately became interested, if it was a diary written before Aphroga was sacrificed, it must have been recorded in those things that happened during this time.

If you take Aphroda's perspective, there may be some other different gains.

Xie Chen slowly closed the door, and this action also attracted Aphroga's attention.

The little girl frowned slightly, looking at her with a little wariness in her eyes.

Jethro also followed, but at this time he had already closed the door, and he really didn't expect this wooden door to be so dilapidated, just such a slight movement of closing.

Aphroga hesitated for a moment, but still stretched out her little hand, pointed to Xie Chen, who was standing in the doorway, and asked Jethro who was holding her.

"Uncle Jethrow, who is this brother?"

Jethro frowned in embarrassment, obviously not having a good time telling himself as an outsider, but when it came to introducing himself, he didn't know his name.

Xie Chen looked at this embarrassing guy and felt a little funny in his heart.

But there are also difficulties in saying it......

Xie Chen held a sunny smile and waved his hands lightly.

"Me?"

"I'm not from this village, I'm from outside."

"Outside?!"

Aphroga looked surprised, her eyes shining brightly, as if she was very interested in her answer.

Surprised, he turned his head to look at Jethro next to him, as if asking about the truth of what he said.

Aphroga, who was held in his arms, looked at him like this, and Jethro nodded twice helplessly.

"He wasn't lying."

Aphroda opened her mouth wide and even turned her entire mouth into an "O" shape.

Xie Chen looked at the little girl's exaggerated reaction, and his brain also turned, and he said tentatively.

"I'm here to make friends with you, can we play together?"

Aphroga was stunned, as if she didn't expect to say that.

“……”

"Well, then you can't fight Aphroga."

Xie Chen saw that she was a little afraid of herself, in fact, it was no wonder that these villagers here all hated her as an outsider, and it was inevitable that they would classify themselves as one type of person.

"So your name is Aphroda, what a nice name."

"Don't worry, be good friends with you, where will I beat you?"
