I tried to speak in a gentler tone, for fear of scaring this little girl who was emotionally unstable and very vigilant.
After all, children are not easy to deceive. Although he already thought that his attitude was very low, Avroga still shrank his head in Jetro's arms.
Obviously he has a lot of doubts about his words.
However, I am not worried about this problem for the time being. After all, Avroga is just a child. As long as he is a child, he will have a way to close the relationship.
It's just a matter of time.
"You should come in and take a rest first. Don't go out and run around if you have nothing to do."
Jetro hugged Avroga and gave himself a meaningful look.
Xie Chen knew what Jetro's words meant, so he nodded and agreed.
"If you want to leave, you have to wait. We can't leave our island by boat for the time being. I'll think of a solution depending on the situation."
Jetro said to himself while putting down Avroga in his arms.
Probably because of Jetro's return, Avroga seemed very happy and skipped upstairs.
"Remember to wash your hands first, and then go downstairs to eat later. Uncle will cook first."
Jetro raised his head and gave a few instructions to Avroga on the stairs.
"Okay Jethro."
Looking at this temporarily warm scene, Xie Chen felt a little helpless.
After all, I had read the notebook left by Jetro first, and had just seen the things prepared by the village chief and villagers, as well as the incense candles that Jetro had brought back.
All these indicate that the island's sacrifices should be held in these days.
It's not easy for me to speak first now. After all, under Jetro's identity, as a foreigner who came to the island temporarily, I should not know about this matter.
If you say it rashly, you will be the one who suffers, and you have to explain the reason to him in a complicated way.
The more things like this are made up, the easier it will be to expose flaws. Don't go into too much detail. The easier it is to rely on trivialities and the complexity of the current situation to get past it.
Considering the current situation, Jetro, as a priest in the village, is definitely more anxious than anyone else. The matter of Avroga is enough to affect this middle-aged man's judgment.
This is also the best way to sneak into this game and give it away.
It may be that Avroga went up to the second floor first. Jetro also breathed a sigh of relief and was finally willing to talk about the current situation in the village in front of him.
"There will be a sacrifice held in the village these days. I don't have the opportunity to give you any help for the time being. Many places on this island are dangerous, and this house is the safest."
"I advise you not to go out and walk around much if you have nothing to do. This will only harm your life."
Xie Chen nodded, acquiescing to Jetro's words.
When he saw the middle-aged man in front of him turn around and go back to prepare dinner, he originally wanted to take a walk around, but he saw the note that Avroga had written before, now placed on the table next to him.
Xie Chen squinted his eyes and looked at the notebook with some confusion. He clearly saw Avroga taking this notebook to the second floor. Why did it still appear on the table?
Xie Chen looked around the house. The traces of old age were very obvious. The two layers of spider webs hanging on it were even something he hadn't seen just now.
"When did this thing appear?"
Xie Chen stretched out his hand to pull off the cobweb, but the moment he raised his hand, he noticed an unusual feeling.
Xie Chen glanced at the surroundings with the corner of his eyes. Compared with the layout just now, the layout of the table was far to the left.
The middle aisle was covered with dust, and there were footprints underneath it that I had just walked through.
Under the heavy dust, there are some less obvious drag marks. If you don't look back, you may not be able to see them.
"This is……"
"The weirdness has failed?"
Xie Chen felt that something was wrong. It was impossible for the weirdness to last until this point and then expire. It was definitely due to some factor that caused it to temporarily return to reality.
Xie Chen looked at the old notebook in front of him, and did not rush to look at it. Instead, he hurried into the kitchen of this house.
Jetro, who originally said he was going to go into the kitchen to make dinner, was nowhere to be found?
The entire kitchen was very messy, with knives and chopping boards falling on the floor, and the scene was in a mess.
Xie Chenguang looked at the scene in front of him and could probably guess what happened before here.
There was a little blood stain on the kitchen door frame, which was not obvious. It should have been left by someone accidentally hitting the door frame while dragging.
Xie Chen looked at the window that had been lowered next to him, then stepped forward and reopened the blocked window with his own hands.
It was very laborious to do this step. The gaps in the front and side windows were blocked by dust, and the sides were a little deformed. If I hadn't been strong enough, I might not have been able to open the window.
A little moonlight came in from outside, which looked particularly bright, but it didn't shine on his face, but on his chest.
do not know why?
When the moonlight shone on my body, I also noticed a little discomfort, but it didn't seem to be an instinctive reaction of my body. This feeling was very hazy.
Xie Chen's nose smelled the strong burning smell coming in from outside, and there was even a slight fishy smell in the air, so he felt something was wrong.
Before he could react, the window frame in front of him was crooked on one side, and the normal other half 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 straight.
I quickly rubbed my eyes in surprise, fearing that I might be mistaken, but the earthen wall next to me also began to shake, like elastic jelly, which looked particularly strange.
Heart palpitations appeared inexplicably on him, as if something was drilling between his eyebrows. Xiechen immediately sensed something was wrong and quickly closed the entire window.
The huge sound immediately brought him back to reality, his consciousness became much clearer, and the changes in front of him returned to normal.
Only in this way can the mind of one's choice be calmed down, and then he can breathe a sigh of relief.
I couldn't believe it at first, but now it's exactly what I thought. The time changes outside are no longer under my control.
Xie Chen slowly turned around, slowed down a little, and sat down at the table in the main hall of the house. Although there was a lot of dust on it, he still didn't care.
What was placed in front of him was the diary written by Avroga. The old cover on the front was completely different from the diary that Avroga was holding in the strange scene just now.
Xie Chen took a deep breath, solemnly placed his hand on the dusty cover, and opened the first page of the yellowed paper with complicated emotions.
This page was torn in half, and there was no writing on it. It should have been a reserved page, but it was obvious that for some reason, this half of the paper was lost.
Xie Chen did not rush to open the page, but stopped and thought for a moment, but still had no idea why he lost this half page.
"It's night outside now..."
Xie Chen shook his head helplessly, and then turned to the second page, and the official content appeared in front of him.
x day x year
Hello, my name is Avroga. This notebook was given to me by Uncle Jethro. Uncle Jethro is very good to me. He taught me how to read and write. In fact, this notebook is Uncle Jethro. I have learned many things. He gave it to me after many words. He told me to write a diary every day. Avroga likes Uncle Jetero. Avroga will write a diary seriously and be a good child.
It’s sunny on x day in xx year
Today, Avroga wanted to take a stroll in the village. The village is not big and you can see the seaside soon. I remember Uncle Jetero said that after using the organ of "wings" to fly on the sea for a long time, you will be able to fly. You can see such a big island. I asked Uncle Jetro what a "wing" is. Uncle Jetro pointed to his arm and he said it was a bird. Only birds have "wings". There are "wings" on them. There are many villages, and there may be many children in them. It would be great if I were a bird, so that I could fly to the big island and play with other children on the big island, because the villagers don't seem to pay much attention to me. , they stay away from me, Avroga wants to play with them.
Cloudy on x day, xx year
I remember Uncle Jettro told me that I am a human. Humans seem to be a species and are not common in the village. I have seen some furry ones, two-legged ones, four-legged ones, and some like Jett. Like Uncle Luo, I have wings. Uncle Jetro also told me that I should have a mother. Mother seems to be a very strange concept. I don’t know who my mother is. Maybe because of this, other children don’t play with me. Bar.
There were many days in between, and they couldn't be seen clearly or were torn apart.
It’s cloudy on x day of xx year
Will I have a mother? What do the villagers mean when they say I am an orphan? I have Uncle Jetro. I am not lonely, but if possible, I also want a mother. The villagers beat me again. Uncle Jetro They drove away.
Light rain on x day, xx year
Uncle Jetro is going to help the village chief with something. He told Avroga to be a good boy at home. Avroga will do it, but the device in the center of the village is so strange. The other children didn't come out to play either.
It’s cloudy on x day of xx year
I had a very strange dream. One voice kept crying, and another voice laughed. It was strange.
It’s cloudy on x day of xx year
Uncle Jetro still hasn't come back. They are avoiding me. The villagers are also avoiding me. There are no children like me.
It’s cloudy on x day of xx year
Today I secretly went out, but an adult villager hit me. It hurt. But Uncle Jetro was not here. He and the village chief were preparing something around the device in the center of the village. When Uncle Jetro came back, Avroga wanted to Tell him to write it in his diary first.
xx year x day?
Uncle Jetro came back. He said that we can't stay at home today because there is a very important ceremony tomorrow that Avroga must attend.
Dreamland on x day in xx year
That voice, she said she was my mother, told me that I must listen to Uncle Jetro, he was kind, Avroga felt very uncomfortable.
It’s very hot on x day of xx year
Avroga, you must be good, Uncle Jetro said to me. Next to him was the village chief, with the strange device as the center and a circle of villagers surrounding him. There were no children. I guess they were all at home. , and then the village chief tied me to the device in the middle. Avroga was very uncomfortable, but had to be obedient, and then
So hot
So hot
There was a lot of red and heat, and through the red, I could see what Uncle Jetro and the village chief were talking about. The surrounding villagers lowered their heads, as if praying to Jetro. uncle! Save Avroga! Save Avroga! ! Avroga...is going to die...
xx year x day? ? ?
Uncle Jetro died, the village chief died, they all died, Avroga survived, mother saved Avroga, and mother will be with Avroga forever.
The diary ends abruptly here. The front part shows the unhappy daily life of a little girl, but the following content is very strange and chilling.
Xie Chen closed the diary again with a gloomy expression. Most of the contents inside were what he had guessed, and were the daily life of Avroga.
But some of the more detailed parts also provided me with some information.
For example, how to leave the island.
Xie Chen reopened the diary and focused on the words about "wings", "birds" and "flight". It was obvious that these things could really leave the island.
Children generally do not lie in their diaries unless they are deceived.
However, judging from the content here, I did not expect that Avroga had no impression of his biological mother at all.
"Is it possible that you were just a baby when your parents died?"
Xie Chen's face was a little solemn, he touched the signature with the words "Avroga" on the side with his fingers, and said to himself.
Xie Chen looked at the surrounding houses, thinking about Jetro's identity, and found it a bit funny.
I originally thought that the nickname might just be a feature of the rules in this copy, but now, it is actually dividing the camps.
Children and birds should be two relatively safe species on this island.
Then there are the villagers at the bottom, and even outsiders can be beaten at will.
And as the highest category in this copy, it is "He" who descended on Avroga.
"It turns out that our Lord Priest is actually a birdman."
On this island, only birds should be able to leave the island at will. If you want to ensure safety, you have to understand the rules of this copy and all the events that occur.
Only in this way can we avoid being attacked by "him".
And if you want to leave this island, you have to find a way to become a person like Jetro, who grows "wings".
But how can I make myself grow "wings", but I don't have the slightest idea.
Xie Chen gently pushed the diary back to its original position, sighing and holding his head. Now he just doesn't know if Jetro can do anything about it?
But I don’t know if I can wait until Weird maintains the operation of the scene and see Jethro again.
Xie Chen rubbed his eyebrows and laughed at himself helplessly.
"Let's find a way to survive tonight first."
