The first thing that determines whether the copy is dangerous or not, that is, when night comes, is related to your own life and safety, is the so-called children's laughter.
This is also part of the rules related to children.
Others are of course included here.
[If you hear a child crying, 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 turns into crying again...]
This part is about the rules about children before I went to the island, including the content on the note in my hand now.
[Children under 12 years old are safe...]
Although there was only one sentence, and the rest seemed vaguely unimportant, I just felt that it was a very important thing.
If you want to escape from this island, or even find a way to restrain "him", you can only start with Avroga, 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 should you start?"
Xie Chen squinted his eyes slightly, all he could think about was this question.
Avroga and his parents are both dead. The priests who brought their family to the island from the mainland do not know whether they are dead or alive.
Even the village chief who killed this family is not sure whether he is alive or not. The description in the notebook left by the priest is obviously not comprehensive.
It would be okay if the two villagers didn't show up before, and I could still subjectively believe that all the villagers died in "His" hands.
But now through personal experience, these zombie-like villagers seem to be controlled by "He".
Xie Chen held his chin in one hand and frowned in thought.
Before Avroga's family came to this island, "He" didn't seem to be so crazy. If you want to have a complete solution, it should be attributed to Avroga.
Prescribing the right medicine is one of the ways to solve the problem.
"Could it be that 'He' came to this island through the dead Avroga and began to slowly control and torture the villagers on this island?"
Regarding this view of my own, my self-feeling is still very much in agreement.
If this were not the case, it is difficult to say why "He", who already existed before, had to wait until the death of the little girl Avroga to start taking action.
Moreover, under the suspected traces of "His" actions, the note recorded the tragic circumstances of the villagers' final death, and at the end there was a description of the weird and strange altar.
As long as he can find the altar, he should be able to find a solution to the problem.
Xie Chen slapped his cheeks hard with his hands covered with dirt. Mixed with the smell of dirt, his brain became more than a little clear in an instant.
If you want to find this altar, you must go to the center of the village.
It may be that the place of worship is there, but of course this is not necessarily the case.
In addition, I was thinking about why the rules did not allow me to enter the cemetery.
Aren’t Avroga’s biological parents buried in the cemetery?
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 thought of this while looking for a route into the village.
Maybe it's because Avroga has suffered so much persecution from the villagers in the village that he is so wary of those who are close to his biological parents...
Of course, this is just my own guess. I don't need to enter the cemetery yet, so I have no plans to spend more time in this area.
Xie Chen breathed a sigh of relief. Although he said it so easily, all this still needs to be based on the fact that the place of worship in the village is not set up in the cemetery. Otherwise, he would also be a wishful clown.
"The only thing we can do next is God's blessing."
Xie Chen frowned and sighed, not so naively thinking that everything would go smoothly in this copy.
As he quietly entered a narrow passage below, he followed the cat into the village.
But compared with the first time, this time I seemed much more steady, and I didn't dare to make any unnecessary moves. In addition to getting familiar with the walkways in the village, I was exploring the surrounding routes to the center.
As the path went deeper and deeper, he came to the attic where he almost lost his life just now. The two villagers were completely gone.
Xie Chen still stood where he was, cautiously looking inside, but he didn't dare to do it too blatantly. If "he" just went back the same way, he would suffer a lot.
Fortunately, these worries were all unnecessary, and this move did not attract "His" prying eyes.
I also quit when I saw the situation, and quickly left the surrounding area. I even wished I could go far away to feel safe.
The attic just now is not even the central point in this village, and it is more than a distance back. Only when it is gradually closer to the front can it be considered to be in the same position.
"Strange, why does this place feel so familiar?"
Looking at the scene in front of him, Xie Chen couldn't help but wonder.
Logically speaking, if you walk a little further, you will almost reach the center of the village.
But now it was like being in front of the entrance to the village. Even the buildings next to it were indistinguishable. If I hadn't walked such a long way before, I would have even wondered if I had taken the wrong road.
Just as he was about to turn into a left intersection next to him, he suddenly noticed two people walking out carrying things.
Xie Chen subconsciously hid and ducked into the corner next to it. There was a notch there for the small cabinet. If he squeezed in a little, he could squeeze in.
But just when he thought he could avoid the sight of the two villagers in front of him by hiding in, someone behind him suddenly tapped him on the shoulder.
"Boy, what are you doing hiding in this place?"
"How come I've never seen this old face like yours before? You shouldn't be new to this island from outside, right?"
Xie Chen was startled by the old voice. He was even in a state of shock and could not calm down.
"Ah, this, this, this..."
Xie Chen turned around awkwardly and looked at the old figure appearing in front of him, feeling a little at a loss for a moment.
"Why are you still stammering when you speak? Is it possible that you don't understand what I mean?"
Xie Chen quickly shook his head. This old figure reminded him of a certain identity, but he was not sure about it.
Just when he was hesitating about how to respond, a woman carrying a bucket walked out from the side of the street.
"Village chief?"
"Why do you have the leisure and elegance to go out for a walk today?"
Xie Chen looked at the woman carrying the bucket and wondered at first why someone suddenly appeared? But I was only surprised by this place.
Keqing then realized that something was wrong. One of the woman's feet was actually covered with many bloody scratches, and even a small part of it had signs of fire.
A stench spread from that foot to this side, and I seemed to be able to imagine the maggots crawling inside.
Thinking of this picture, I can't help but feel sick.
But the women's feet seemed to be missing from the group of things around them, and the two figures who were originally carrying things also walked past him.
The two of them spoke in relatively low voices. They focused on the old man and woman in front of them, and didn't pay much attention to what the two guys said.
When he stretched out his finger and pointed forward, he was even a little stunned.
I just wanted to tell the old guy in front of me, didn't you see something strange on the woman's feet?
You are afraid that if you say something wrong later, "He" will come to the group of people in front of you again, and you will be the one who suffers.
The pocket watch can only keep time, but it cannot completely save one's life. If you want to be able to stand in an absolutely safe area, you have to figure out how to get the key to unlock this copy.
"What are you doing young man?"
"With your incomprehensible appearance, it's hard for me not to doubt your true identity."
The old man's eyes seemed unable to open, but the gray eyebrows on his head were drooped so low that they were almost in line with his nose.
It was probably because he was hard of hearing or his hearing was slow due to age. After the woman behind him called out several times, the old guy in front of him finally reacted.
"Hey, you are quite diligent today, Miss Wang."
"We were praying before and wasted a lot of time on the way back. Anyway, it's almost dinner time, so I took this time to take a walk outside."
Xie Chen watched the old guy in front of him turn around, and originally wanted to complain about whether this old guy was deaf?
But it was okay not to turn around. As soon as he turned around, he was stunned and his pupils shrank slightly.
The old man's back in front of him actually had a big hole, and he could even see the old guy's bones and internal organs.
There was no trace of fishy red, all the internal organs were black, and there was even a burning smell, with a little fishy smell in the middle.
Although it's not that strong, being so close is still as disgusting as stuffing your head into a swill bucket.
Xie Chen resisted the urge to vomit and hurriedly moved sideways, but accidentally bumped into the two guys who were carrying things next to them.
"Why are you just crawling on the ground without looking at the road?"
One of the people he bumped into whispered in a very dissatisfied tone. If he wasn't at such a close distance, he might not be able to hear it clearly.
Xie Chen covered his mouth and nose in discomfort, raised his head and was about to apologize, but this guy had already reached out and grabbed him.
Xie Chen's eyes widened. What he saw was a palm with only a skeleton left. The sharp fingers seemed to be trying to remove his eyeball.
Xie Chen struggled to turn his body, and finally got rid of the skeleton-like palm at the first time.
The things he was carrying next to him were kicked by him, causing a whole box of wood to slide down.
There seems to be a small piece of something unknown in the middle.
Xie Chen panted heavily and stared at the people in front of him with sweat all over his body.
The wood that he hit began to fall into pieces, and the black thing placed in the middle rolled towards his eyes on the slope.
Xie Chen took a deep breath.
The black thing in front of him had strange runes engraved on it, with a sunken ring in the middle.
There are many incense ashes placed in the ring. As this thing slides, all the incense ashes are sprinkled on the ground.
"Idiot! What the hell are you doing?"
"This will anger our revered gods. If the punishment comes, will it cost your lives?"
The old man, who had a big hole in his back, raised his eyebrows in anger, pointed at the two scrawny guys carrying things and cursed loudly.
Xie Chen was shocked and immediately thought of the villagers' custom of worshiping "him".
Avroga must have been sacrificed to "Him" by such villagers...
Xie Chen used the power of his pocket watch, and the scene in front of him froze instantly.
No wonder the rules mention that the appearance of the villagers is not what we usually know. These guys can be said to be just monsters that look like humans...
