How to survive in a world full of weird talk [Comprehensive fear]

This is a dark corridor.

The gloomy darkness leads people to the depths.

The slender girl walked quietly in this corridor like a passage from hell.

Sidelle quickly came to the end of the corridor, but it turned out to be a wall, the wall surface was rough, and only a heavy iron door was covered above her head.

She tried to push it, but she didn't push it. She only saw faint candlelight coming from the edge of the iron door.

Suddenly, a voice came.

Still very familiar, it was... the voice of the patriarch.

Up above is the patriarch's house?

Sidelle frowned and listened carefully.

Trivial words came into my ears.

"After dawn tomorrow, have someone go raise the fence of the chicken coop!"

Sidelle: "..."

Raise the fence?

Could it be because of... her?

Sidelle turned back, took the bag away, smiled at him, waved goodbye, and said briskly, "I'm leaving."

"Come back tomorrow and bring you the roast chicken."

Before Shi Qi could react, the girl quickly left, and her figure disappeared at the end of the dark corridor.

As always.

Come in a hurry, go in a hurry.

Seventeen: "...OK."

This word was not heard by Sidelle, she had already returned to the ground of the shrine.

So this short farewell echoed in the empty and dark underground prison.

Seventeen closed his eyes.

he remembered—

He wanted to ask several times how Sidelle's clue investigation was going.

In fact, he doesn't care about food at all.

But he was interrupted by this person whether it was intentional or unintentional.

And that "roasted chicken"...

In the village, only the patriarch's house has chicken coops. Did she want to get the chickens from the patriarch's house to roast?

The important thing to pay attention to now...does it have anything to do with the patriarch's chicken?

Seventeen fell into confusion.

No, think about Sidelle's performance before...

She should have her own plan... right?

Sidel left the shrine and slipped out through the hole in the wall behind.

In the middle of the night, she left very smoothly.Sidel tried it when she was in the prison, and although the covered iron door could be pried open, the prison iron locks that closed Shi Qi could not be easily opened, including the chains between Shi Qi's wrists and ankles.

Those cannot be easily pried open with tools such as wire.

Only by getting the key can... let Shi Qi leave Xu Shenju.

In other words, why is the shrine named "Xu Shenju"?

What kind of secrets are hidden in this village...

Since entering Ruins God Village, Sidel hasn't felt any resentment, including the weird villagers, they all look like normal people.

Is it because my eyes are temporarily disabled like in the red door, or... I really returned to the Xushen Village a hundred years ago?

A hundred years ago, Xushen Village was destroyed, and that "sacrifice" might be the key.

Was it because the sacrificial ceremony failed that the entire village of Xushen Village died?

If all this is history repeating itself, then there should have been a wanderer from other places in Xushen Village back then.

The villagers warmly entertained the foreigners, but the foreigners met a beautiful witch before the sacrifice.

According to the routine of the general story, the current plot development should be——

A wandering outlander falls in love with a beautiful witch.

Obviously, this "sacrifice" is not a good thing, rather than praying to a god, it is more like a sacrifice ceremony to an evil god...

Although the gods worshiped in Japan seem to have a little bit of evil sneakiness.

Sidelle pondered for a few seconds, then took out the scroll of letters from her bosom.

She opened the letter and found that there was another line of writing on the letter.

【I, I didn't hold back my joy and longing.

In the dead of night, I quietly left the patriarch's mansion, went to the holy place here, to avoid the guards, and meet the beautiful and noble maiden again.

She fulfills all my fantasies about love, and I can't wait to be with her and tell my love...

This is something that has never been done before.

But my beloved woman shook her head in embarrassment and declined my intention.

why?

Obviously, obviously she also blushes at me, we can leave together, go to her outside world, she said that no one has ever told her about it. 】

……Well.

It seems that the contents of this manuscript will gradually appear over time.

Maybe you don't need to wait for Sidel to explore, but wait until the day of the sacrificial ceremony, the records in the handbook will be able to answer the secrets of Xushen Village.

But she couldn't wait until then.

By then, I'm afraid it will be too late to leave from here——

……and many more.

Sidelle suddenly thought of another possibility.

Is what is recorded in the letter what happened in Xushen Village that year, or... what happened to her and Shiqi?

First meeting, late night tryst...

If the manuscript records the history of that year, isn't all this repeating the tragedy of Xushen Village?

It seems that there is an invisible force pushing the "Witch" and "Wanderer" to follow the trajectory of a hundred years ago again.

But no matter what, since she came here, she must not let the history of that year repeat itself.

What's more, no matter how much that "hand" pushes the story line of the witch and the wanderer, it is impossible for them to repeat the tragedy of a hundred years ago.

Because... Now this story line has been misplaced from the very beginning.

Miko and wanderer exchanged identities.

The behind-the-scenes pusher probably didn't notice——

The witch has turned into a man.

Sidelle recalled the clues in the village while thinking, but she noticed something, and when she looked up again, she saw a little girl standing on the firewood pile not far away.

Half of the little girl's face was hidden by the woodpile, half of her face was exposed, her eyes were dull, and her expression revealed a strange innocence.

"Big brother."

The little girl spoke sweetly, although she was smiling, but the coolness permeated her exposed white teeth, dark pupils, and pale and stiff little face.

"It's me." Sidelle stared at her, advancing instead of retreating.She put the letter back into her bosom, touched the handle of the lamp with her fingers, and approached quietly with the same smile on her face, for fear that the little girl would slip away the next moment: "Are you out to play with big brother?"

"..." The little girl raised her head.

She blinked, tilted her head, and said suddenly: "I'm here to find my friends."

"They're gone." The little girl...that is, Qing Zi, frowned in distress, as if she was very sad: "Big brother, can you help me find them?"

Sidelle thought for a while: "Then you have to promise big brother one thing—"

Qing Zi remained expressionless, but continued to blink: "What?"

The people here are weird.

She was a girl at first glance, but after changing her identity with Shiqi, everyone defaulted to her as a "male" and called her Mr.

Sidelle is used to it.

Her complexion remained unchanged, she smiled slightly in the night, leaned over to stare into the eyes of the little girl Qingzi, and whispered a series of words in her ear: "..."

After listening, Qing Zi hesitated, but nodded.

"I promise you."

"But you also need to find my friends."

As expected of a child, but a good fool.

Sidelle: "Who are your friends?"

Qingzi raised her head, her black and white eyes locked on Sidelle.

She thought for a moment, then slowly said: "After they disappeared, I never saw them again."

"People from Xushen Village often disappear, and then never come out again. But we made an appointment, we will always be friends. Why did they abandon me?"

Sidelle pondered for a while: "Maybe, they didn't abandon you. They don't know where they are..."

Qingzi: "..."

Her snow-white face seemed to twitch, and her emotionless eyes rolled, as if recalling.

Soon, she said: "Three days ago, I was at the patriarch's house and saw Qingmei."

"She's in the wall."

She raised her eyes, the whites of which occupied most of the eye sockets, her pure white and flawless face looked very innocent, but the words she said were strange and shocking.

"The missing people are all in Xushen Village. They have never left, they have always been..." Qingzi said quietly: "They have always been inside the wall."

"look at me."

They... have been in the walls?
