femme fatale [unlimited]
Chapter 177
The air fell into silence for a while, and only the rustling of the wind blowing through the treetops was left in my ears, which was so quiet that it made people feel bored.
Love thought for a while and asked another question, "What are people in your village busy with? We walked all the way and didn't meet anyone."
They have also experienced many copies of the village as the background.There are usually many people working in the field, and there should be pedestrians coming and going on the road, instead of being so depressed and deserted like it is now.
"Because there have been evil things for a long time, there are not many people in the village."
The man glanced at her and replied: "And during the day, everyone usually sleeps in the house, and few people go out."
Jiang Wan's eyes moved slightly, and she asked, "Why do you sleep during the day and what do you do at night?"
"Night? You can't sleep at night."
The man pulled the corner of his mouth, and laughed twice like self-deprecating, "If you fall asleep at night, you will die."
He didn't continue this topic, and changed the topic: "You should be tired from the long journey. If you come, you will be at ease. I will settle you down first, and then we will talk about other things. If there is any problem then, You can also ask."
Jiang Wan stared at him for two seconds, then said lightly, "Then I will trouble you."
Walking on the road, the man made a simple self-introduction.His name is Wang Song, he is forty years old, and he lives in a small red building with a pointed roof at the north end of the village.His family had all died, and he was left alone.Speaking of these times, Wang Song's expression is very calm, a kind of numbness that has long accepted reality.
Wang Song led a group of people to stop in front of a small building near his home, and said, "Here we are, come in."
When I was on the road just now, Ning Mianmian observed that this village is not very big, there are only hundreds of households in total, and every household is silent, as if they are really resting.
Wang Song pushed open the courtyard door, and the rusty door shaft rolled, making an ear-piercing "squeak".
He said: "You can stay here, the room is enough, but the conditions are a bit difficult for you young girls with delicate skin and tender flesh."
After a pause, he added in a low voice, "However, the conditions in the village are like this, and you can only get used to it yourself. You will live here for a long time in the future. Let's take care of each other and find solutions together when we encounter problems."
From Wang Song's tone, it seems that it is a certainty that they will be trapped here.
Rongrong couldn't help but said, "Then if I go out from the village entrance, what will happen?"
"You can try it, it doesn't work."
Wang Song sighed, "If you can get out, who wouldn't want to leave this ghostly place. Sigh, you are young, and your fate is bad, why did you come in..."
It seems like the mention of "get out" makes the NPC's reaction become very negative.So Ning Mianmian didn't continue to entangle on this point, she said: "Brother Wang, what will happen here at night? Can you give us a brief introduction, so we can be prepared."
"To put it simply, the haunting is very violent."
Wang Song glanced at her, and said slowly, "Too many people have died in this village, and the atmosphere is very dark. Many dead people linger and attract some other dirty things. It's better during the day, but at night , these evil things will come out. If you want to fight against them, you must raise your energy during the day."
Ning Mianmian frowned slightly, and she asked: "Brother Wang, if you don't rest during the day, aren't you afraid that you won't be able to protect yourself at night?"
Wang Songdao: "There are rules in the village. One or two people are assigned to patrol during the day, and the others sleep. The patrollers have a short rest time. At night, they will inevitably have insufficient physical strength, but other people will protect the safety of the patrollers. The village is so dangerous, it is necessary to take turns to patrol. Must do."
It seemed that there was no problem with these words, but when thinking of the things she had encountered along the way, Ning Mianmian felt something was wrong in her heart.She was looking down and thinking, when she heard Wang Song say: "There is food in the room. After you have eaten, go to sleep during the day. At night, I will introduce you to meet other people."
After speaking, Wang Song wanted to leave, but was stopped by Lin Cen.
She said lightly: "Do you often have strangers here?"
It wasn't that she was careless, it was mainly because Wang Song was very proficient in this set of procedures, and he didn't seem surprised by the appearance of outsiders. It didn't look like the first time.
"It happens from time to time, but I can't remember exactly." Wang Song looked at her, frowning, "It's hard to even survive now, so what's the point of distinguishing between locals and outsiders, anyway, sooner or later they will all die."
After Wang Song left, everyone began to check the situation of the residence separately.
Compared with the affluent Utopia before, this place is simply destitute and impoverished.
The ground was messy and dusty, and the steps of the house were covered with moss.If you get closer, you can see dry dark red marks left on the walls and the ground, like blood spattered during the fight. I don't know if it has something to do with the "haunted at night" that Wang Song said.
The scene on the first floor can be called empty, with few and simple furniture, and many scuffs on the surface.There is a wooden table in the center of the living room, with some vegetables and food on it, and a bucket of water under the table.
Fluffy leaned over and looked through the food, only to find that the types and quantities were pitifully small.There is only a cabbage, a few potatoes, a piece of meat, a few eggs, a pot of salt, and a small bag of rice.
She frowned and said, "That's too little, it's not enough to eat. And there's nothing to remove the fishy smell, how can you eat meat?"
Even Fluffy, after being in human society for so long, can no longer get used to raw meat.
"It's okay, this instance can be used to buy food with points."
Ning Mianmian clicked on the game store from the side, and swiped her finger on the screen, "Well... it's just that the price is a bit expensive, a piece of ordinary bread costs 100 points."
She scrolled down and found that the richest and most luxurious set was a hot pot set, priced at 2000 points.She touched Love with her arm, and said with a smile: "This time there are not so many kinds to choose from, so I can only wrong you to eat hot pot."
The people around him didn't respond for a long time, Ning Mianmian felt strange, turned her head, and saw Love holding a potato in her hand, looking thoughtful.
Ning Mianmian asked, "What's wrong with you?"
Love sent the potato to the tip of his nose and sniffed it lightly, "There is something wrong with the food."
"Is there a problem?" Rong Rong wondered, "I just tested it, and it's not poisonous."
After brushing so many dungeons, she has already formed a habit. Every time she comes into contact with the food in the dungeon, she has to take the props to test it first.
"It's not poisonous." Love put the potatoes on the table, and said calmly, "But it's strange, it's mixed with sleeping pills, so it should be soaked in water."
Ning Mianmian was taken aback, "Sleeping pills?"
"It's not wrong." Love nodded, and wiped her fingertips with a tissue. "To be on the safe side, it's better not to eat the food prepared in the village."
Lin Cen turned to look at her, "Is it really just a sleeping pill, without toxicity or side effects?"
Love explained: "If it is a large amount, it will have adverse effects on the human body, but at this dose, the effect can only be achieved by allowing us to sleep until dark."
Fluffy bent down and stared at the potatoes on the table for a while, "Why did you mix them with sleeping pills? Could it be that the people in the village are trying to harm us."
Ning Mianmian murmured: "It's possible, if we fall asleep, we won't be able to avoid the evil things that appear at night."
Just now Wang Song said, let them have a good sleep during the day and refresh their energy so that they can fight against the evil things that haunt the village at night.But the food prepared for them was mixed with sleeping pills, and it is unknown who did it.
"It's better to plan." Lin Cen glanced at the food on the table, and suggested, "Go around the village in a while, collect clues, and ask who the person who prepared the food is, maybe you will gain something."
"After coming back at noon, we opened the door to cook, deliberately let other people hear the movement. We pretended that we had eaten all the food. Since someone took pains to put sleeping pills in the food, he would definitely sneak over at noon or afternoon. We Whether you have been tricked or not, we will follow the vines and find out when the time comes."
The small building has two floors, the first floor is the living room and dining room, and the second floor is the bedroom.Ning Mianmian walked around the first floor, found nothing, turned around and went up the stairs.
There was no light on the stairs, and the surrounding environment suddenly darkened. The old wooden stairs made a slight creaking sound, several railings under the handrails were broken, and the paint was faintly visible.
The corridor on the second floor was dark, Ning Mianmian raised his hand, and tried to press the light switch on the wall.The light bulb hanging from the ceiling flickered twice, then slowly turned on.The pale light reflected on the wall, adding a bit of desolation.
There were two bedrooms on both sides of the corridor, and Ning Mianmian casually pushed aside the one closest to her and walked in.
The furnishings in the bedroom still continue the overall style of the house, which can be described as extremely simple.A double bed occupies one-third of the room, plus a set of tables and chairs, and a vertical wardrobe, making the bedroom, which is not considered spacious, look even more crowded.
A mirror was hung above the table, facing the wall, like some kind of ominous omen.Based on the principle that more things are worse than less things, Ning Mianmian reached out and took off the mirror, and put it upside down on the table.
At this time, there was a sound behind him.
"Squeak."
The sound is not loud, but sharp, like the sound of fingernails scratching on a wooden board.
Ning Mianmian paused, she turned around and looked around the room.The old furniture was silently immersed in the dim light, and the light and shadow overlapped, as if there was nothing abnormal.
"Crack, creak."
There were two more beeps.
This time the sound was louder and clearer.
Now that Ning Mianmian confirmed the source of the voice, she walked slowly to the wardrobe.
The dark brown door was closed tightly, and the copper ring on it had a strange luster, like some kind of silent confrontation.
Without hesitation, Ning Mianmian put on her protective shield, holding the crossbow in one hand and the copper ring in the other, and slammed the door open——
The cupboard is empty.
Ning Mianmian was taken aback for a moment, then turned her head to look at the cabinet door, and then her eyes changed slightly.
On the inner wall of the cabinet door, there were several deep messy scratches, one on top of the other, in which brown marks could be faintly seen, like dried blood.
Something like a thin flake was stuck in a corner of the inner wall, Ning Mianmian reached out to remove it, and carefully observed the dim skylight through the window.
It was a broken nail fragment.
Love thought for a while and asked another question, "What are people in your village busy with? We walked all the way and didn't meet anyone."
They have also experienced many copies of the village as the background.There are usually many people working in the field, and there should be pedestrians coming and going on the road, instead of being so depressed and deserted like it is now.
