This scene was witnessed by several people who were whispering in the distance, and they couldn't help but feel terrified.
The timid few were about to run away, but their legs and feet didn't work very well, as if they weighed a thousand pounds. They just squatted on the spot in shock, not daring to move even half a step.
"What should we do? That young man got into a fight with a monster. What should we do? What should we do?"
Another person scolded softly.
"Shut up, aren't you afraid of attracting other monsters? I will accompany you to the bathroom, but please don't kill me."
These words made the man immediately cover his mouth obediently, but he still couldn't stop his whole body from shaking, obviously frightened.
I don’t know what kind of strange phenomenon it is that makes these big men go out in groups to go to the toilet at night. When there is any disturbance, they all squeeze into the far end of the toilet very skillfully.
That's where the smell in the entire toilet is the most unbearable.
If anyone has been to roadside toilets in rural areas, they will know that they are usually composting areas. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are the most unbearable smelling places in the entire countryside. Because of this, even those weird ones are usually Under no circumstances would anyone want to get close to such a place.
A few people took advantage of this whole feature and dared to go out to the toilet in the middle of the night in a team of three.
It's not that they can't hold it in. The old men in the countryside are not so particular and can deal with any bottle they find in their house.
The reason why they had to go out despite being extremely scared was just because of the rules.
This village follows two different sets of rules during the day and night, using them in cycles without interfering with each other.
During the day, it was just like an ordinary village. Except that everyone looked worried, there was no difference.
But once the sun sets, everyone, pay attention, is everyone.
Anyone who is still within the village before sunset will obediently return to their homes. The reason why I say this is because people from outside often enter the village, and once this time comes, everyone in the village People will become extremely enthusiastic and invite these outsiders to stay overnight.
They usually tempt them with delicacies and game that no one in the city has ever seen. If they see a single young man, they will send the youngest and most beautiful girl in the village to serve tea and wine.
The enthusiastic mountain people and the affectionate and beautiful village girls, even if ordinary people can't stand it, they will often decide to stay overnight in a daze.
At this time, even if there are people who are more vigilant and want to refuse, but they have already arrived at the place, they are often forced to stay because they cannot save face.
Although they may also be cautious, such as requesting to live in a separate room, such requests are often quickly fulfilled.
They won't think too much.
They really thought too much, because at this time, the villagers really didn't want to do anything to these outsiders, but did it for their own good.
Because there is an iron rule here.
That is, once the sun sets, everyone in the village must abide by the rules after sunset.
These rules are often not fixed, but after more experience, the villagers have summarized some rules that appear from time to time.
1. After sunset, everyone will have tasks that they need to complete. These tasks are often not difficult. As long as you are familiar with some large rules and frameworks, you can easily complete them. For example, this is the case for the three people in this team going to the toilet.
The task they received tonight is:
After nightfall, go to the public toilet in the village to use the toilet. You don’t need to actually use it, but you must stay in the toilet for at least three minutes.
Of course, there are restrictions. Apart from the big rule that everyone in the village knows, there is only one.
Don't let anyone see you!
In fact, this is not so difficult.
Originally, the public toilets in rural areas were far away from the residential area, and there were no people around at night. In addition, it was pitch dark at night, so there was not much movement at all.
There is no problem in walking in the dark without holding a lamp.
The three people thought so too, thinking that with their familiarity with the roads in the village, they could walk back and forth smoothly even with their eyes closed.
With the support of this confidence, three people who happened to receive the same task set off.
In order to ensure that they would not encounter anyone else doing strange tasks, the three of them did not appear at the entrance of the village until after midnight.
That was the place they agreed to meet.
The journey went smoothly, I didn't encounter any villagers doing tasks, and I didn't encounter anything strange.
The three of them also breathed a sigh of relief, and their tension relaxed a little.
Then they saw the pavilion in the village that was originally built for tourism development, and the young man from outside the pavilion.
as well as……
"Did you, did you see it?"
No one responded, only a grinding sound expressing inner fear.
Everyone knows the rules of the village at night, and naturally they also know what it means if they see that thing.
Deep despair emerged in the hearts of the three of them unconsciously.
At this time, a familiar voice with a bit of excitement came, making the other two people stunned for a moment.
"Look!"
"How dare you!"
"I dare you! You are pretending to be a ghost. Do you think I can't see it?"
Li Yi slapped the Zhizha Village Chief far away, and the other party simply flew out of the pavilion and plunged into the soil.
This wasn't the end yet. Since she was in a strange world and this village was obviously not normal, she naturally wouldn't foolishly think that it was really just a paper doll.
He stepped over the pavilion fence with one step and stepped hard on the paper man with the other foot.
Oddly enough, when you step on it, you don’t feel as vulnerable as an ordinary paper man.
But it was a very solid feeling. If he insisted on being prosperous, Li Yi felt like he was stepping on a strong man's body.
It's full of muscles.
Not caring whether it was an illusion or whether it was paper or not, Li Yi started a new round of attacks.
It's not that he wants to kill everyone, but Xinzhong has always had an urgent sense of crisis.
This kind of crisis has never stopped since he walked into the pavilion and sat down.
If he hadn't wanted to find out some rules and clues, he would have taken action the moment he walked in.
It's not too late now.
At least through this paper village chief, he figured out one more thing.
That is, everyone will receive a task every night.
Tasks are presented in the form of slips of paper.
You will unknowingly, in a place that only you can see, and by a very chance, open the note and see the content on it.
That's what you have to do tonight.
This was informed by the paper village chief in the conversation just now.
Of course, this is what Li Yi heard, and he did not intend to believe all these clues.
In other words, he also has some opinions of his own.
Before he fell out with the paper-man village chief, he also asked a lot of questions. After some analysis, he came up with a lot of useful things.
for example:
Li Yi asked: "Who made the rules here? How long have these two sets of rules been going on?"
Paper Man: "This is beyond my knowledge. This is not something I, an insider, can understand. My duty is to inform you of the rules at night."
Li Yi: "Then let me change the question, who asked you to do this?"
Paperman: "Sorry, I can't say that."
"Why?"
Li Yi was a little confused. In fact, even if the other party said he didn't know, he couldn't say anything.
But what the other party said was that he couldn't say it. What did that mean?
Not being able to tell and not knowing are not the same thing.
If you don't know, you just don't know. Although the possibility of the other party lying is not ruled out, if you say you don't know, you are hiding the meaning that you don't want to tell you.
However, what the other party said cannot be said.
It means that he knows, but cannot tell you for some reason.
This is very interesting.
In this case, Li Yi did not decide to investigate further.
This is not what he is here for.
So he asked again the real purpose of his coming here.
"I have one more question."
"How to get out?"
