Xie Chen walked forward slowly, feeling something was wrong behind him, as if something was staring at him.
This feeling made me feel a little numb, but in fact, no matter how I looked back, I never found anyone behind me.
At first, I thought it was because something strange was spreading, which made me overly sensitive to changes in the surrounding environment. But later, I even heard footsteps other than my own, and I realized something was wrong.
It seemed that someone was really following me. Although the speed was not very fast, the sound was not normal at all. As soon as I increased my speed, the sound became much faster.
But many times I can only hear a few whispers. Maybe it's because I walk too fast and the wind blowing in my ears is a bit loud, so I can't hear it very clearly.
But when I really calmed down, the sound disappeared again. The grass around me was sparse, maybe it was because of the sound of the wind blowing by.
I really can't tell the difference between the sound I hear and the sound of the wind blowing through the grass when I'm quiet.
No matter how many times I looked back, the tombstones in the cemetery behind me were still as far away from me as ever.
As long as he takes two steps back, the tombstone that he couldn't see clearly at first will be much closer to him in an instant.
The discomfort that had disappeared from his body reappeared, and he had to quickly retract his steps.
But this can only make the discomfort disappear, but it cannot make you get further away from the cemetery. It seems to be warning yourself that as long as you move closer, the cemetery will be closer to you, and there is no way to shorten the distance in between.
This gave me a bit of a headache. If I couldn't solve this problem, the approaching cemetery would continue to shrink my exploration space on the island.
"That's not right. If I keep walking like this, aren't I looking for death?"
Xie Chen stood there and suddenly thought of this.
I have been moving forward, and the cemetery has been following behind me. As long as I dare to step back, even if it is only a small step, the distance to the cemetery will be shortened by a small step.
In comparison with each other, the cemetery is closer to me, and I haven't gotten any advantage at all.
Xie Chen scratched his head and simply leaned against the tree next to him, with no intention of continuing on his way.
The road in the middle felt a bit familiar, especially when I was walking on it just now. It was very similar to the road I took when I went to the island before.
However, if I think about it carefully, that path is a little different from here. At least some of the scenes are different, but if I stand for a long time and look at it, I feel that it is somewhat similar.
To put it bluntly, my memory is chaotic. Even the road I traveled before has become a bit blurry. I can remember the general scene clearly, but it becomes difficult to identify such small details.
Xie Chen was a little troubled by this matter, but there was no good way to solve it for the time being. He could only stare at the moon in the sky in a daze.
It seemed that after he stopped, the sparse sounds on the other side of the grass also disappeared. Instead, they reached his ears again as he started running.
"Did I hear wrongly?"
"Or are these just rumors of running away?"
After all, if you run fast enough, you can still hear the blowing sound from the grass on both sides, plus the sound of the whistling wind, it is a bit like that sparse sound.
It is precisely because of the similarity that it is so troublesome to identify them by yourself, and you can't even tell which one is which.
Xie Chen stared at the grass behind him in confusion, and even looked at the cemetery in the distance, which was a little closer to him.
There is still a sense of threat, but it is not as dangerous as before. As long as you don't get closer, you will basically not suffer any physical discomfort.
Now we can only wait until dawn and see what happens after dawn?
What I'm afraid of is this scene. I don't know if it's an illusion created by weirdness, or is it the current reality?
My heart is more inclined towards the latter. After all, all the villagers here are dead, even Avroga is no exception, and Jetro, the priest, is also missing.
But if it were reality, the only effect would be to confirm his judgment, and it would not help him leave the island quickly.
With Jetro's disappearance, I also lost my only hope of leaving this island.
But if this was not reality, he would have to go back to the time when Avroga was still alive.
If that time was the so-called reality, then he would have to find ways to save Avroga, and even have to fight against all the villagers.
"Isn't this all a fucking joke?"
Xie Chen even wanted to laugh a little. Although he had the ability of a pocket watch, he became the enemy of everyone on the island. If he wanted to do anything, he had completely lost his basic mobility.
And even if there is a pocket watch that can be used, it is too troublesome to do things, plus if you want to save Avroga.
Now there are two different things on this island, "He" and "She".
Even if he rescues Avroga, he still doesn't know which one of them disappeared, and which one is more dangerous, he doesn't have a clue yet.
Xie Chen squatted under the tree, picked up a dead branch on the ground and pulled it on the ground, carving out the relationship between the two numbers.
But in fact, there is no direct relationship between the two parties, and although there are common attributes between the two parties, they actually don't have much in common.
If "she" and "He" had a mother-daughter relationship, there should be no conflict, and they might even help each other.
Xie Chen frowned, squatted there and thought for a moment, then shook his head and crossed out the four words "mutual help" circled on the ground.
I almost forgot that there is another condition.
Avrogak didn't know her mother.
Although her mother may have watched her daughter grow up on this island after becoming "He" or "She", to be honest, Avroga didn't know her either.
At most, there is only the possibility that the mother knows or protects Avroga.
Even though they have become a strange part of this dungeon, the mother and daughter should not be able to help each other.
I have also seen Avroga's own vigilance.
Even if he becomes a part of the weird story, he should still inherit his original personality.
Xie Chen crossed out the arrows pointing at each other and changed them to one-way arrows.
Just as he was about to slide down, before he could lift the branch in his hand, a stone rolled past him, messing up the scratches on the ground.
Xie Chen was startled. He frowned and raised his head warily. Just as he was about to check where the stone appeared, another stone flew from in front of his eyes and hit him between the eyebrows.
Xie Chen screamed, and just as he was about to cover his head, he heard heavy footsteps, and he must have guessed that there were two or three people rushing towards him.
He was covering the wound on his forehead and was about to stand up, but was pressed heavily to the ground, making it difficult to even stand up.
Xiechen gritted his teeth, then opened his mouth and spoke loudly. The person who seemed to be sitting on his back grabbed a handful of sticky mud while sleeping on the ground and stuffed it into his mouth.
He whimpered and struggled, and more and more dirt was stuffed into his mouth. This guy seemed like he was never finished, leaving only his mouth and nose, and covered it tightly with his other hand.
There seemed to be two people beside him who were helping to hold down his head. Although he was not suffocated, without reacting, his feet were tied directly with canes, and he couldn't even use any strength.
"woo woo woo woo"
Xiechen ate a mouthful of dirt and could only make a whimpering sound. He even almost swallowed some sand into his stomach. Fortunately, he stopped the trembling movement in his throat and then put the small piece into his throat. The soil on the side was spit back.
Before he could open his eyes, the butt sitting on his head had already moved away. Then, two people quickly covered his head with two strips of cloth, and also tied his eyes. Living.
Now I couldn't see the road ahead at all. Even if I covered my eyes, I still tied two tight knots behind, as if I was afraid that I could untie them.
“…”
I could feel that after these people finished doing these things, they sat on my back numbly, not knowing what they were planning.
Although they were entangled, their ears still functioned well. These guys did not speak and could only hear some slight snoring.
Although the current situation is very bad, if you make a rough judgment, you can know that the boss of these guys is giving the orders.
"Isn't this over?"
Xie Chen only had this idea in his heart.
I really didn't expect that just by squatting on the ground and making a draft, I would be directly attacked by someone.
In fact, he should have thought that, damn, the tiny sounds that appeared behind him before were just these guys following him.
But there was nothing he could do. He couldn't go back and investigate the grass behind him. Every step he took was getting closer to the cemetery. He really didn't want to die so soon.
Even if it has the protection of changing the rules, this kind of thing is not afraid of ten thousand, but afraid of the unexpected.
What if the execution level is weird and the authority to modify it is actually higher than that of the pocket watch?
Then wouldn’t he become cannon fodder?
