Chapter 242: Diary Contents
I tried to soften my tone of speech, for fear of scaring this little girl who was emotionally unstable and vigilant at the same time.
After all, children are not easy to deceive, and although he already thinks that he has put his attitude very low, Aphroga still shrinks his head in Jethro's arms.
Obviously, there are a lot of doubts about his words.
But I don't worry about this problem for the time being, after all, no matter how you say it, Aphroga is just a child, as long as it's a child, then he has a way to get closer.
It's just a matter of time.
"You come in first and take a rest, and don't go out and run around if it's okay."
Jethro hugged Aphroga and gave him a meaningful look.
Xie Chen knew what Jeltro meant, and nodded in agreement.
"If you want to leave, you have to wait, you can't leave our island by ship for the time being, I'll think about it depending on the situation."
Jethro said to himself as he let down Aphroga in his arms.
It was supposed to be because Jethro had returned, and Aphroga seemed very happy, and he jumped up and down the stairs.
"Remember to wash your hands first, and then go downstairs to eat later, and my uncle will go cook first."
Jethro looked up and said a few words to Aphroda on the stairs.
"Okay Jethro."
Xie Chen looked at this warm picture for the time being, and he was also a little helpless in his heart.
After all, I had read the notebook left by Jethro first, plus the things prepared by the village chief and the villagers just now, as well as the incense candles that Jethro had brought back.
All of this indicates that the sacrifice on this island should be in these days.
It's not good for me to be the first to speak now, after all, under Jethro's identity, as a foreigner who came to the island temporarily, I shouldn't know about it.
If you say it rashly, you will be the one who suffers, and you need to explain the reason to him horizontally.
The more this kind of thing is made up, the easier it is to reveal flaws, but don't go into too much detail, the more you can rely on trivial and complicated situations to obfuscate the past.
Referring to the current situation, Jethro, who is the priest in the village, is definitely more anxious than anyone else, relying on the matter of Aphroga, it is enough to affect the judgment of this middle-aged man.
This is also the best way to sneak in this game by yourself.
It may have been that Aphroga had gone up to the second floor first, and Jethro was relieved, and was finally willing to tell him about the current situation in the village.
"There are going to be sacrifices in the village these days, I can't have a chance to give you any help for the time being, many places on this island are dangerous, and the safest is this house."
"I advise you to go out and walk around less, this will only kill you."
Xie Chen nodded, and he acquiesced to Jethro's words.
When he looked at the middle-aged man in front of him and turned back to prepare dinner, he originally wanted to walk around, but he saw that the notebook that Aphroga had written earlier was now on the table next to him.
Xie Chen squinted his eyes, looking at this notebook with some incomprehension, he obviously saw that Aphroga brought this notebook to the second floor, why did it still appear on the table?
Xie Chen looked at the surroundings of this house, the old traces were very obvious, and the two layers of cobwebs hanging on it were not even seen by himself just now.
"When did this thing appear?"
Xie Chen stretched out his hand to tear the cobwebs off, but the moment he raised his hand, he noticed an unusual feeling.
Xie Chen skimmed around with the corner of his eye, and the layout of the table was much more to the left than just now.
The middle aisle was covered with dust, and there were footprints below me that I had just walked.
Under these heavy dusts, there are some less obvious drag marks, and if you don't look back, you may not be able to see them.
"It's ......"
"Weird fails?"
Xie Chen felt that something was wrong, it was impossible for the weirdness to be maintained in this place and become invalid, it was definitely due to some factors that caused it to temporarily return to reality.
Xie Chen looked at the old notebook in front of him, and did not rush forward to read it, but hurriedly ran into the kitchen of this house.
Jethro, who originally said he was going to go into the kitchen to cook dinner, was there still a figure?
The whole kitchen is very messy, and knives and cutting boards are on the ground, and the scene is messy.
Xie Chenguang looked at the scene in front of him, and he could probably guess what had happened before he came here.
There was a little blood stain on the door frame of the kitchen, which was not obvious, and it should have been left by someone accidentally hitting the door frame while dragging it.
Xie Chen looked at the window that was lowered next to him, and stepped forward to reopen the blocked window with his hands.
It was a lot of effort to do this, the front and side window cracks were blocked by dust, and the side was a little deformed, if it wasn't for my own strength, I might not have been able to open this window.
A little moonlight came in from the outside, which looked extraordinarily bright, but it was not sprinkled on his face, but on his chest.
Don't know why?
When I was shining on my body by the moonlight, I also noticed a little discomfort, but it didn't seem to be an instinctive reaction of the body, and this feeling was very hazy.
Xie Chen's nose smelled the strong burning smell wafting from outside, and even a little fishy smell in the air, and felt that something was wrong.
Before he could react, the crooked window frame in front of him, the normal other half, also began to look distorted.
Xie Chen stretched out his hand to straighten it, but when he touched it with his hand, he found that the thing itself was right.
I quickly rubbed my eyes in surprise, for fear that there was an illusion, but the earthen wall next to it also began to tremble, like a jelly that could be played, which looked very strange.
The palpitations appeared on him inexplicably, as if something was drilling into the center of his eyebrows, Xie Chen immediately sensed that something was wrong, and quickly closed the entire window.
The loud sound immediately pulled him back to reality, and the whole person's consciousness became much more awake, and the abnormal changes in front of him returned to normal.
This is the only way to calm down the heart of his choice, and then he breathes a sigh of relief.
Originally, I couldn't believe it, but now it's really as I thought, and the time changes outside are out of my control.
Xie Chen slowly turned around, slowed down a little, and sat down at the table in the main hall of the room, although there was a lot of dust on it, he still didn't care.
In front of him was the diary written by Aphroda, and the old cover on the front was completely different from the one that Aphroda was holding in the strange picture just now.
Xie Chen took a deep breath, solemnly put his hand on the dusty cover, and turned the first page of the yellowed paper with a complicated mood.
This page is torn in half, and there is no word written on it, it should be a reserved one, but it can be seen that for some reason, this half of the paper has been lost.
Xie Chen didn't rush to turn the page, but stopped and thought for a moment, but he still didn't know why he lost this half of the page.
"It's night outside now......"
Xie Chen shook his head helplessly, and then turned the second page, and the official content appeared in front of his eyes.
xx year x day
Hello, my name is Aphroga, this notebook was given to me by Uncle Jetro, Uncle Jetro was very good to me, he taught me to read and write, in fact, this notebook is Uncle Jetro, given to me after I learned a lot of words, he told me to write a diary every day, Aphroga likes Uncle Jetro, Aphroga, will write a diary seriously, be a good child.
xx year x day sunny
Today Aphroga, I want to take a walk around the village, the village is not big, and you will soon be able to see the seaside, I remember Uncle Jethro said, with the organ of "wings", after flying on the sea for a long time, you can see a big island, I asked Uncle Jetro, what is the "wing", Uncle Jethro pointed to his arm, he said that he is a bird, only birds have "wings", there will be many villages on it, maybe there are many children in it, if I were a bird, so I can fly to the big island, playing with the other children on the big island, because the villagers don't seem to pay much attention to me, they are far away from me, and Aphroga wants to play with them.
It was cloudy on xx years and x
I remember Uncle Jethro told me that I was a human being, and humans seemed to be a species, and it was not common in the village, I saw furry, two-legged, four-legged, and winged ones like Uncle Jethro, and Uncle Jethro also told me that I should have a mother, and that mom seemed to be a very foreign concept, and I didn't know who my mother was, maybe because of this, other children didn't play with me.
There were many days in between, and they couldn't see clearly or were torn up.
It was cloudy on the xth day of the xx year
Will I have a mother, what do the villagers mean when they say I'm an orphan, I have Uncle Jetro, I'm not lonely, but if I can, I also want a mother, and the villagers beat me again, and Uncle Jetro drove them away.
Light rain on xx year x day
Uncle Jethro is going to help the village chief with something, he tells Aphroga to be a good boy at home, and Aphroga will do it, but the installation in the center of the village is so strange that the other children in the village have not come out to play today.
It was cloudy on the xth day of the xx year
I had such a strange dream, one voice kept crying, and the other voice was laughing, strange.
It was cloudy on the xth day of the xx year
Uncle Jethro still hasn't come back, they're avoiding me, the villagers are avoiding me, there's no kid like me.
It was cloudy on the xth day of the xx year
I went out secretly today, but an adult villager beat me, it hurts, but Uncle Jethro is not there, he is preparing something with the village chief around the installation in the center of the village, and when Uncle Jethro returns, Aphroga will tell him, so write it in his diary first.
xx year x day?
Uncle Jethro came back and said that today we could not stay at home because tomorrow there was a very important ceremony that Aphroga had to attend.
xx year x-day dream
The voice, she said she was my mother, he told me to listen to Uncle Jethro, he was kind, and Aphroga felt very uncomfortable.
It was hot on xx year x
Aphroga you must be obedient Uncle Jetro said to me that there is also the village chief next to him with the strange device as the center, and there are no children around the villagers, I guess they are all at home, and then the village chief tied me to the device in the middle, Aphroga was very uncomfortable, but be obedient, and then
It's hot
It's hot
Beep and crackle, I couldn't see a lot of red and heat, and through the red, I could see what Uncle Jethro and the village chief were saying, and the villagers around them lowered their heads as if praying to Uncle Jethro! Save Aphroda! Save Aphrodia!! Aphroda... I'm going to die......
xx year x day ???
Uncle Jethro died, the village chief died, they all died, Aphroga survived, Mom saved Aphroga, and Mom would be with Aphroga forever and ever.
The diary ends abruptly here, the front is a little girl's unhappy daily life, but the content behind is very weird and chilling.
Xie Chen closed the diary again with a gloomy face, and most of the contents in it were the same as he had guessed, which was the daily life of Aphroca.
But some of the more detailed parts also provide some information for themselves.
For example, how to get out of the island.
Xie Chen reopened his diary and fixed his eyes on the words "wings" and "birds" and "flights", which were obviously able to actually leave the island.
Children generally do not lie in their journals unless they are deceived.
However, judging from the content here, I didn't expect Aphroga to have no impression of her biological mother at all.
"Could it be that when your parents died, you were just a baby?"
Xie Chen's face was a little solemn, and he stroked the signature with the word "Aphroga" on the side with his fingers, and said to himself.
Xie Chen looked at the surrounding houses, thinking about Jetro's identity, and actually felt a little funny.
Originally, I thought that the pronoun might just be a feature of the rules in this dungeon, but now, it is actually dividing the camp.
Children and birds are two of the safer species on this island.
Then there are the villagers at the bottom, and even outsiders can beat them at will.
And as the highest category in this quest, it is the "Him" that descended on Aphroda.
"It turns out that our priest is actually a birdman."
On this island, only birds should be able to leave the island at will, and if they want to be safe, they must understand the laws of this copy from the beginning, as well as all the events that occur.
In this way, we can avoid being attacked by "Him."
And if you want to leave this island, you have to find a way to make yourself a person like Jethro and grow "wings".
But how to make yourself grow "wings", but I don't have a clue.
Xie Chen gently pushed the diary back to its original position, sighing and holding his head, now I just don't know if Jethro has a way?
But I don't know if I can wait until the weird keeps the scene running and see Jethro again.
Xie Chen rubbed his eyebrows, helplessly laughing at himself.
"Let's find a way to survive tonight."
