"Besides, I don't even know them, so why do I need to frame them?"
Sol looked as if nothing had happened, and Xie Chen didn't bother to defend himself. Being too excited would make him appear to be really suspicious.
Seeing that he closed his mouth and said nothing, Thor came over with a curious look on his face.
"It's not that I really doubt you. After all, you know more about this beach than they do. This is also a doubtful point."
Xie Chen curled his lips.
"From what you said, I still doubt whether you are telling the truth or not."
This rebuttal made Thor shut up, and the two fell into a new silence.
Wood stood up, seemed to have said a few words to his father, and then walked out of the door.
Sol immediately stood up, pointed at Wood and spoke loudly.
"Don't leave the house at will at this time, otherwise if danger occurs, you will be responsible for all the consequences."
Except for Xie Chen and Saul, the relationship between everyone else in this house is very repressed, which also leads to a particularly strong sense of suffocation in the house.
Especially after Wu Yu and Biantai had a fight, this feeling became even more obvious.
After being warned by Saul, Wood turned around and exhaled helplessly.
"It's almost four o'clock now and it's almost five o'clock, and dinner hasn't been prepared yet."
"I don't know if the rest of you are hungry. Anyway, I'm so hungry that my chest touches my belly."
Thor shook his head.
"But you'd better not go out. I have some cakes and milk on the counter. You can take them for a while."
Saul knelt down and groped for a while, and took out a carton of milk and a dozen cake sandwiches from the round box below.
Sol gave some to everyone. Seeing that his tone was so gentle, Wood did not lose his temper and sat back on the stool at the door.
Xie Chen opened the milk bottle with a round cap and took a sip. Seeing Sol sit down again, she asked in a low voice the doubts in her heart.
"Aren't those monsters afraid of light?"
Sol nodded slightly, indicating that he was right.
"This doesn't make sense."
Xie Chen pinched his eyebrows with his fingers, looking a little confused.
"That fake you can be considered a monster, but why is he not afraid of the light? He can still stay in the sun for so long openly."
Thor whispered: "These all come with a price."
"Even if they try their best to restrain the discomfort caused by strong light and can act like normal humans in a short period of time, as long as they are exposed to light for ten seconds, their vital signs will slowly disappear in the next half day."
"Ultimately tending to death."
Xie Chen suddenly realized.
"No wonder you ignored that fake Saul."
It turns out that he himself will die slowly.
Sol was equally helpless.
"But there are still many things they can do in this half-day."
"Fortunately, not all of these monsters are afraid of death, otherwise this beach would have been unable to withstand the torture long ago."
Xie Chen opened all the sandwiches and took a bite.
"Since we can slowly transform into humans, I don't think it will take long before we are no longer afraid of the light."
Sol smiled bitterly: "What can we do?"
"You should give in, you still have to give in. You can't risk your life just for a few dollars."
Xie Chen ate the sandwich without expressing his opinion.
Sol glanced at the wall clock next to him and spoke softly.
"If the cleaning company's car doesn't arrive later, it probably won't arrive tonight."
"When the evening tide is almost here, you can go to the station and wait."
"As for whether you can leave safely, it still depends on your own luck."
Xie Chen nodded without replying. As expected, this guy didn't know the specific time when the bus would arrive.
This will be difficult to do.
In this house, it is still too far from the station, and it is impossible to observe the specific situation there. What I am most afraid of is that when the tide rises in the evening, those monsters will wait for them.
There is a possibility that when night comes, it is the most difficult moment.
Just when he was lost in his thoughts, a sudden knock on the door came from outside.
Boom, boom, boom.
Everyone in the house immediately looked towards the door.
Of course, Xie Chen was no exception. At the same time, he glanced at the window of the house. Compared with just now, the sky outside was indeed much darker.
But it was far from dusk.
The most confused person was Wood sitting at the door drinking milk.
Under the eyes of everyone, Wood cast a look for help to Saul, and he himself didn't know what to do.
Sol gently raised his right hand, indicating for him to open the door.
Wood quickly moved the stool under his feet, and then quickly opened the door in front of him.
The knocking sound that never stopped fell silent after Wood opened the door.
Everyone in the house held their breath, not knowing who was coming in.
As the door opened, the faces of the middle-aged couple came into view.
Xiechen squinted his eyes and looked around at the expressions of Sol and the middle-aged couple.
As an insider, I could still detect that everyone was trying their best to restrain their emotions. As for the middle-aged couple, they were visibly shocked.
Xie Chen, who roughly understood the situation, also smiled slightly.
At this point, the situation is basically very clear.
Sol didn't make any movement now. He was still sitting in front of the bar, looking at the two couples standing at the door like others.
Xie Chen stood up and came to the front of his family, pretending to sit down as if nothing had happened.
Then he turned to look at the middle-aged couple.
"What's wrong with you guys?"
"Why are you all looking at us with confused expressions?"
The middle-aged man spoke first, and the way he spoke seemed a little awkward, but he was just trying to excuse himself and his wife.
Wood drank the milk in his hand in one go, squeezed the can with one hand, and pointed to Sol at the bar.
"What are you two doing?"
"It's been so long since you came back. Did you go to the fishing village?"
When she heard that there was a step to go down, the middle-aged woman immediately nodded with a bright smile.
"Ah, yes, that's right. I just wanted to go to the fishing village to have a look, but I didn't find a suitable route on the way, so I thought of coming back first. After all, it's getting dark soon."
The old woman came out and pointed at Sol at the bar.
"Didn't you go out with the young man?"
"Even he has been back for a long time, you won't secretly want to go to the fishing village behind his back, right?"
Xie Chen took a deep breath. He was a little surprised that the old woman could speak so directly to the pain point.
As soon as Sol was mentioned, the two middle-aged couples immediately became restless, and the middle-aged man even turned around and looked outside.
He waved his arm and pointed outside. Although the expression on his face was a bit stiff, it could still be seen that he was very panicked.
"Just now, weren't you still walking behind us?"
"We went with him, and he nodded to the proposal just now!"
As the middle-aged man explained, he pointed his finger at Sol at the bar, trying to shift the focus away.
This trick was indeed effective. Except for his father and Wood, everyone else looked in the direction pointed by the middle-aged man's finger, with doubts in their eyes.
Saul, who was sitting at the bar, shrugged.
Xie Chen looked at it with amusement, really wanting to see how Thor would deal with this situation.
But who knew that Sol smiled and waved directly.
"You two, don't hang around at the door. Come in and sit down quickly."
Seeing Sol say this, the middle-aged couple immediately started to smile, no longer showing the original sadness and anxiety.
But after saying this, the pressure immediately came to Xie Chen.
The middle-aged couple walked very slowly, but still entered the house.
After hearing Sol's first statement, the others had no objections and watched the middle-aged couple walk in slowly.
Xie Chen only felt that something was wrong, but even though he felt uncomfortable all over, he couldn't notice it.
"When are we going to leave?"
As soon as he sat on the chair, the middle-aged man immediately asked a question to the surrounding stage.
But the latter is angry now, so how can he have time to talk to him?
Seeing that Bian Tai didn't say a word, the middle-aged man could only look for another target.
Xie Chen watched every move of the couple, but when he looked at Saul at the same time, the guy looked really carefree.
Completely ignore these two people.
Xiechen himself didn't know what this guy was planning.
These two couples were most likely monsters in disguise. As a lifeguard, if Thor didn't take action, it would be unreasonable.
Xie Chen quickly tried to keep calm.
It's the Kaitan dungeon now, and there are indeed trustworthy NPCs here.
But when the authenticity cannot be completely confirmed, you should still trust yourself.
At this point, Xie Chen felt that his head was a little swollen.
Even if the middle-aged couple came in and nothing had happened yet, he had already gone through more than one or two thoughts in his head.
Not only is the middle-aged couple in front of them suspicious, but Sol in front of the bar cannot be trusted 100%.
Xie Chen glanced at the clock on the wall. The time was almost close to five o'clock, only less than four or five minutes off.
Xie Chen took a deep breath. It seemed that he could only rely on himself. Otherwise, when the late tide came, he would just stay here and make no progress.
It's a pity that the pocket watch can only be used a limited number of times, and the time each time is so short, it is impossible to complete all the things you want to do.
Xie Chen counted it on his fingers and found that the pocket watch had only been used twice out of a total of six times.
Use it once and you will lose one. The most dangerous time has not yet come, so naturally you have to stay on guard.
Xie Chen moved the stool under his buttocks and slowly moved closer to his family. They were basically stuck together.
Fortunately, the rewards from the last dungeon strengthened my physical fitness, so besides my pocket watch, I also had some assets that I could rely on.
Saul, who was sitting in front of the bar, glanced at the time. At this time, the sound of cars driving was heard outside.
Everyone in the house was a little confused.
The old woman walked towards the door with her hands behind her back.
"I'll go out first and see what's going on outside."
Her husband immediately stood up and followed. The two of them cuddled and were about to go out from the door, but they were stopped halfway by a middle-aged man.
"go out?"
"Forget it, old lady, the lifeguard hasn't said anything yet. It would be too dangerous to go out now. All of us young people are still staying in the house."
Grandma shook her head.
"It's nothing serious. At my age and I can't run or jump, who can take the life of an old woman like me?"
"Besides, I'm feeling bored staying here, so it's better to go out and get some fresh air."
"Besides, isn't there a car coming from outside? It wouldn't be a bad idea for me to go out and take a look for you now."
The middle-aged woman jumped out immediately.
"You, an old guy, can just listen to the young man's advice. If something happens later, we will be implicated and we will leave together."
When he heard someone talking about his wife like that, the old man couldn't help but look at the middle-aged woman.
"No big or small, so what happened when you and your wife went out just now?"
"Did we two old guys stop you?"
When Thor saw this, he also walked out at this time.
"There's no need to argue. The car outside has arrived with the goods I ordered. He should only be responsible for transporting the goods, not dragging you away from this beach."
Upon hearing Sol's explanation, Wu Yu, who was picking his teeth at the side, couldn't help but roll his eyes, as if he had heard something unlucky.
Sol did not pay attention to him, but continued to add: "You all stay well. When the bus is almost here, I will arrange for you to ride there together."
The two couples, an old man and a young man, were just frozen like this, and Sol was too lazy to pay attention to them. He squatted down and rummaged through something in the cabinet below.
Xie Chen wanted to go over and take a look at this moment, but she was still worried that Sol was being blatantly playing tricks.
But in the current tense situation, Xie Chen didn't dare to leave his family just like that.
But from what Sol said just now, it's possible that the truck transporting detergent has arrived.
certainly……
He does not rule out the possibility that the bus was concealed by him.
Xie Chen felt helpless in his heart. The more he knew, the more he felt on pins and needles.
If there is a passenger bus outside, if you wait any longer, you and your family will definitely miss the best opportunity to get on the bus.
Then we can only spend the night here.
Xie Chen had no choice but to slowly take out the pocket watch in his pocket, thinking that he would just spend it once. His life was too tight.
Just as he was struggling with his thoughts, Wood stood up, passed by the two old men, and suggested to Saul, who was looking for something with his head down.
"Is it really okay to have that truck waiting outside for so long now?"
"How about I help you move the goods? Having one more person will save you some time."
Seeing Wood's suggestion, Xie Chen stuffed his pocket watch back and watched Saul's reaction.
But Thor was still squatting under the bar, rummaging for something, and just said casually, "Okay."
Wood twisted his neck and gently opened the door. Just as he was about to walk out, the middle-aged man took the lead and closed the door again.
"Even if the goods are not moved, they will probably be left outside. Don't you need to be so anxious?"
The middle-aged man smiled at Wood and supplemented his behavior.
Wood didn't understand what this meant.
But the middle-aged man continued to explain himself: "I just thought that I would be tired and sweaty after moving now, and you would have to take a shower. What a waste of time."
"So let's rest for now. If that doesn't work, just ask the truck driver to come in and have a cup of tea."
Wood seemed even more confused when the middle-aged man said this.
"Are you here to compete with that truck driver for business?"
Looking at the middle-aged man's awkward smile, Wood held in his words for a long time before he could say these words.
Otherwise, I really don’t understand why he would stop himself from opening this door.
Xie Chen suppressed a smile, now it was basically confirmed that this middle-aged couple were monsters.
"Dad, Mom."
"They are about to move their goods. Let's move inside and give them a way out."
After hearing his suggestion, his parents nodded in approval, and Xie Chen quickly helped to move the stool and put it in front of the bar.
Mother hugged Xiaolan and sat down again. The current position was very far back, almost inside.
When placing the chair, Xie Chen deliberately placed it alone on one side, some distance away from Wu Yu inside.
After all, one of the two people was a criminal who committed murder. Although he could not produce evidence for the time being, he had to take some precautions.
"Anyway, I said, don't go out, just don't go out!"
After being teased repeatedly by Wood, the middle-aged man's temper suddenly exploded.
