No one stopped him, and he walked much faster.
It is estimated that the ghost story has taken effect, so some of the buildings in front of them that were previously motionless are now filled with more people.
Xie Chen walked straight forward, pretending to be casual. Although the villagers who saw him looked a little strange, they did not come up to talk to him directly like the old guy before.
It seems that even a village has a leader. Obviously, if you don't face yourself directly, in fact, if you avoid those respectable people in this village, it will not be too strenuous to explore by yourself.
Besides, I still have a pocket watch in my hand that can control the passage of time. Even if there is no danger like this, I don't have to rely on the pocket watch all the time.
But at least I have an extra safeguard in my hand.
Xie Chen walked straight forward. He just heard what the old guy said, and now he couldn't help but feel worried.
Because after returning from prayer, the old guy was going to go out to relax before dinner.
In other words, it is already evening on the island that is slowly getting dark now.
If you haven't found a way to leave the island next, you have to quickly find a way to protect yourself.
After talking to these villagers, I didn't know why I had to leave the island before dark.
The source of the danger has many uncertain aspects. It may come from "him" on the island, or it may come from the villagers.
I am not sure yet, after all, there are no directions for my guess and reference.
As they walked further forward, the villagers nearby who didn't understand their origins were also quickly avoiding him.
Many villagers have some aspects that are not related to "people". Although it looks very awkward, I also comfort myself in my heart to get used to this feeling of difference as soon as possible.
Xie Chen turned his head away and walked as far as possible to the side road. The road he was walking forward was leading to the depths of the village. If he was walking backward, it would be the road he came from.
Fortunately, you won't get lost in this place. The locations of many buildings are actually similar, but you can still judge them clearly.
Just as they turned a corner, a sturdy middle-aged man walked in front holding a handful of incense candles.
It can be seen that he hurried back in a hurry. He did not see any erosion on his body, which meant that it was strange and did not leave 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 other things. The only ones related to sacrifices. Apart from the two "skeleton soldiers" carrying firewood and sacrifice boxes just now, this sturdy middle-aged man was the third one. .
She followed him closely, and even couldn't help but walk a little slower, for fear that this guy would realize that someone was following him.
After all, I am not from this village. If I am too ostentatious, I will inevitably attract this guy's attention.
If you are vigilant, you may cause some trouble for your subsequent exploration.
This is most unnecessary.
Xie Chen walked slowly, but just after taking a few steps, the guy in front of him immediately turned his head, as if he had discovered him.
Xie Chen's anti-reconnaissance ability was also very "responsive". He immediately turned around with his trouser pockets in his pockets and leaned against the wall of a nearby house.
It seemed that he was admiring the scenery in the corridor, but compared with other villagers, the gap between him and me immediately widened. It was obvious at a glance that he was out of place.
Obviously he was aware of this, and Xie Chen immediately pretended to be more relaxed, but he seemed too relaxed, and he looked very out of place anyway.
The middle-aged man who stopped in front and was suspected to be a priest stood there and glanced at himself with squinted eyes. He felt that the man in front of him looked very suspicious.
"Hey, why do you look so unfamiliar?"
Hearing the guy behind him speak, Xie Chen, who had his back exposed, stopped pretending. After all, everyone had already seen how weird he was.
No matter how much you install it, it won't stick.
"I came to this island from outside, and now I'm thinking of a way to leave this island."
"Can you please help me?"
Xie Chen tried his best to keep his tone calm, and simply expressed his feelings to the middle-aged man in front of him.
As soon as he finished the first half of the sentence, all the incense candles in the man's hand fell to the ground.
Judging from his stunned look, it was obvious that he was extremely surprised.
After a moment of surprise, his face changed slightly, and Xie Chen saw a hint of displeasure on his face.
Xie Chen narrowed 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 nearby didn't seem to see him. The few people walking on the road still strode forward, saying that the man walking towards them was nothing.
"What...what happened?"
Xie Chen didn't feel any malice, and he could clearly feel the guy's anger.
"Who asked you to come to this island?"
"Don't you really want to live?"
Xie Chen looked at his angry look, and it seemed that he was indeed feeling guilty from the bottom of his heart for the death of Avroga's parents.
"I, I also accidentally came to this island while driving a small boat on the island, because I lost my way..."
Xiechen's brain changed and he told a little lie temporarily.
After listening to his own explanation, the middle-aged man in front of him tightened his grip on his collar and then loosened it slightly.
"That's it..."
"It's a pity that no one can 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 confused.
"It would be great if I could become a bird. I guess I could fly off the ground and escape the destined demise..."
Xie Chen's face was full of confusion: "What are you talking about?"
The middle-aged man shook his head, walked slowly, went back and picked up the incense candle that fell on the ground.
"Just call me Jetro."
"I am the priest of this village. Please come with me for now."
Xie Chen looked at Jetro's back, his face full of solemnity, and he guessed the guy's identity correctly.
I also know why he invited me to go with him. As an outsider on an island, I will always be ostracized by the villagers on this island.
It is estimated that the only way to get a little bit of safety is by following Jetro.
Xie Chen was a little helpless. Isn't this the situation of Avroga?
Soon, following Jetro's footsteps, he came to a small house in an alley.
The cabin is a bit dark and is on the second floor.
Just as he opened the door and entered the room, there was a sound of footsteps upstairs.
"Uncle Jetro, are you back?"
Xie Chen heard a very clear and sweet little girl's voice.
It was probably Avroga who was speaking.
Jetro immediately changed his smile and replied happily: "It's me. Are you good at home today?"
A little girl, who was almost as tall as her belly button, jumped down from the second floor. She was wearing a relatively loose shirt and was holding a note in her bare feet.
After seeing the little girl running down, Jetro gestured for him to help close the door of the house, and then greeted her with a smile.
"Our Avroga is really obedient."
Avroga jumped into Jetro's arms.
"Uncle Jetro, Avroga keeps a diary obediently. If you don't believe me, read it."
Avroga handed the diary in his hand to Jetro, with a smile on his face.
Hearing the word "diary", Xie Chen frowned and became interested immediately. If it was a diary written before Avroga was sacrificed, what was recorded in it must be the things that happened recently.
If you put yourself in Avroga's perspective, you might have some other different gains.
Xie Chen slowly closed the door. This action also attracted Avroga's attention.
The little girl frowned slightly, looking at her with a little vigilance.
Jetro also looked over, but at this time he had already closed the door. He really didn't expect that this wooden door was so old, and it could creak with just the slightest movement of closing it.
Avroga hesitated for a moment, then stretched out her little hand, pointed at Xie Chen who was standing at the door, and asked Jetro who was holding him.
"Uncle Jetro, who is this brother?"
Jetro frowned in embarrassment. It was obviously difficult for him to reveal his identity as an outsider, but if he wanted to introduce himself, he didn't know his name.
Xie Chen looked at this embarrassed guy and felt a little funny in his heart.
However, there are difficulties in saying that...
Xie Chen put on a sunny smile and waved his hands gently.
"its me?"
"I'm not from this village, I'm from outside."
"Outside?!"
Avroga looked very surprised, his eyes seemed to be shining brightly, as if he was very interested in his answer.
While surprised, he turned to look at Jetro next to him, as if questioning the authenticity of what he said.
Seeing Avroga being held in his arms looking at him like this, Jetro nodded helplessly.
"He didn't lie."
Avroga opened her mouth wide, even turning her entire mouth into an "O" shape.
Seeing the little girl's exaggerated reaction, Xie Chen's mind turned and he said tentatively.
"I'm here to make friends with you. Can we play together?"
Avroga was stunned, as if he didn't expect that he would say that.
"..."
"Well, then you can't hit Avroga."
Xie Chen saw that she was a little afraid of him. In fact, it was no wonder that all the villagers here hated an outsider like her, and they would inevitably put themselves in the same category.
"So your name is Avroga. It's such a nice name."
"Don't worry, I'll be good friends with you. How can I beat you?"
