While Xie Chen was thinking, he slowly walked up the slope of the island.
After finally climbing up, the field of view has broadened a lot, and the situation of the small part below has become unobstructed.
However, he obviously underestimated the fog on the island, which would hinder his vision.
I originally thought that compared to the fog on the sea, the fog on this island was obviously lighter by more than one level, but now it seems that as long as you are far enough away, these fogs will still have a great impact on you.
Xie Chen sighed.
Fortunately, these fogs are not poisonous, otherwise I would have died on this island.
After reading the notes left by my great-grandfather, I even had a relatively basic understanding of the world of ghost stories, and it became easier to interpret these rules.
I just had some confidence in my heart, but it was completely destroyed by these fogs.
Indeed, if these villagers on the island are going to use poison gas and incense, why shouldn't they be trapped here?
Xie Chen turned around and walked towards the back, slowly looking down. There was a forest below, but it could be seen that all these trees had been planted not long ago.
Compared with those old trees that are growing vigorously, they are still very different.
Looking further ahead, there are some newly constructed dirt roads. It should be said that it is more suitable for people to walk on them with their feet. After all, there are still a lot of weeds on both sides.
Looking forward along this road, I seemed to see a little outline of the village. Unfortunately, although the fog below was lighter than the fog here, it still blocked my sight.
"If it's nighttime, will he be completely blind?"
The key is that I don’t know what time it is now. If it’s noon, then the game is completely over.
According to the normal sun rising at noon, even if it is a foggy day, the fog will dissipate a little.
But in this world of ghost stories, everything cannot be measured by common sense.
If there is no way to clear the fog, then I can only be a decoration here, especially at night.
With no way to make a fire, no way to turn on the lights, and no way to protect myself, just relying on the moonlight to explore the island is simply a fantasy.
However, I didn't forget that I still have the ability to use the pocket watch this time. As long as it is not like the funeral copy, even the ability of the pocket watch will be limited, then there will basically be no problem.
Xie Chen shook his head and woke up from his imagination, no longer thinking about these things.
The top priority is to quickly go to the village and have a look, and get a general understanding of the distribution of power on the island.
If there is really only this one village and its villagers, then we have to find a way to escape.
As long as you don't talk to these villagers, you have time to leave the island.
But in fact, the doubts also came, that is, why after talking to the villagers, he had to leave the island before nightfall?
If you are chatting during the day, ask yourself to leave before night comes, which proves that your life will not be in danger during the period of chatting with the culture.
When life is in danger, life should only be threatened when night has arrived.
Xie Chen squinted his eyes, his mind running wildly at this time, trying to understand what the relationship was.
But according to this calculation, we have to judge what will appear after night comes?
"Child or whisper?"
"Or the so-called dark shadow?"
What I am thinking is, is it possible that in this village, the younger villagers are more dangerous than the older villagers?
This is indeed a possibility, but it needs to be verified. If you just make subjective assumptions, the chance of encountering danger will increase exponentially. It is too risky.
Xie Chen tidied his clothes and rolled up his wet trouser legs a little. So far, no mosquitoes had been seen on the island.
And as I walked up, the original burning smell seemed to disappear, and the smell I smelled when I went to the island was different.
"Is it my imagination?"
People who are not used to going to sea will indeed experience some hallucinations when they return to land after driving on the sea for a period of time.
But even the world of ghost stories cannot be judged by common sense. After all, the last rule even mentions words about Mars.
"So what is the reason why things like fire are banned on this island?"
He murmured to himself that the reason why these things were banned was probably related to why he smelled the smell of coke immediately after he landed on the island.
Xie Chen walked slowly to the side, deliberately avoiding the dirt road ahead.
In comparison, the road with grass and trees on the side seemed a little more difficult to walk, and my walking speed on the side also slowed down a lot.
It's not that I don't want to hurry up, but if I meet villagers in the village on the main road, I can't avoid having a head-on encounter.
You have to slowly understand these things before making plans.
It's really not easy to walk through the grass on the side.
Many of the grass leaves stuck to my clothes, and even the dewdrops wrapped in the weeds, with a strong earthy smell, dripped on my face and hair.
This uncomfortable feeling almost drove me crazy.
Fortunately, hard work paid off. As he moved closer and closer, he was getting closer and closer to the village in front of him.
Originally, under the shallow mist, I could barely see the outline of the village, but as I got closer, the general appearance appeared in front of me.
But now there is no shadow of the villagers. The whole village is like a dead village, without even a single person.
Xie Chen stood there, brushing aside the tall weeds next to him and checking the situation in the village not far away.
After waiting for a long time, I still didn't see anyone running out, not even the mentioned child. The whole village was extremely quiet.
I was even a little worried whether the sound hidden in the grass would reach the village.
After all, it was so quiet that even the sound of a dropped branch would make some noise in front of the village.
But there are no villagers, so why do the rules mention the existence of villagers?
It is said in the rules that most rules are trustworthy.
Could it be that the rules for the villagers are the so-called small part of this rule?
Xie Chen swallowed.
If not, it only proves that the villagers here are not human at all, and cannot even exist in human form and manner.
I wanted to refute this situation and comfort myself by saying that maybe the rules related to villagers were fake to begin with, but there was another one interspersed in the middle.
[The villagers are not what you think they are. 】
This one is the most deadly.
If you think that the villagers themselves do not exist, and even all the villagers, they are all fake rules.
Then this relevant rule will refute your own ideas.
What if the villagers just appeared in front of me in another form?
If it's not what you conventionally recognize, isn't it possible for it to exist in a soul state?
Of course, this is just a self-refuting hypothesis. It does not mean that the villagers who have not been seen in the village are really wandering in the village as souls.
Xie Chen's head already felt like it was about to explode.
"Damn it, you need to grow a brain."
Xie Chen couldn't help but complain in his heart, and then he tiptoed and moved his limbs more lightly, more cautiously pushing aside the grass next to him, and going around to the side farther away from the road.
In this way, when you move forward, the sound propagation path will also be lengthened.
It will not be too easy to act to alert the snake.
As he gradually moved closer, the village became clearer and clearer in his field of vision.
However, there is still a faint layer of fog in the middle, which is as uncomfortable as adding a natural filter between human eyes.
Seeing that the distance was almost there, Xie Chen also used the time-stop function of his pocket watch in his mind.
Then he stood up from the grass.
"It's really uncomfortable for me. You can go into the village and check it out now."
Xie Chen shook his arms in pain, and even patted the dirt on his elbows and trouser legs. The slimy feeling on his body was unbearable for his slightly mysophobic self.
The time stopping effect will last for ten minutes. During this time, you can freely explore the quiet village in front of you.
Xie Chen did not enter the entrance of the village, but went in from the side. It was a small path. If he walked up, he could move into the yard of a house next to him.
