Chapter 51: Night
"Just be careful and don't go to the abandoned old house next to it."
"There are some unclean things there..."
The old man said with a sinister smile. The meaning of his words was not to tell the priest not to go, but to arouse the priest's curiosity to go there.
Human beings have a rebellious mentality. The more you say you don't want to go, the more you go.
The priest didn't plan to go immediately. He wanted to understand the situation first and find out the clues about the hair. He believed that the thing would come to him on its own.
There is no time limit for the main mission this time. If you wait a few days and there are no clues, it’s not too late to go anywhere.
Moreover, there is something strange about this village. At this time, all the villagers have closed their doors. According to the locals, this shouldn't be the case. No one has come out to take a look after outsiders came to the village.
When the old man who seemed to be the village chief saw the priest, he did not turn him away but directly let him in and kindly took him in.
"How to call it."
The priest looked at the old man and asked.
"I am the mayor of this village, so just call me village chief for now."
Sure enough, this place can only be found in the village chief's house.
Other villagers have one-story courtyards, and the village chief's home is obviously much more upscale than others.
"Is there anything else?"
The village chief looked at the priest gloomily, obviously feeling a little impatient.
"May I ask where I live?"
The priest noticed that something was wrong, so he might as well ask about some things tomorrow.
"You...come with me."
The village chief's voice became even hoarse. He bent his back and walked slowly towards the inner room, stopping outside a room.
"This is the room my son used to live in."
"You should have a good rest, and don't go to the second floor unless you have something to do."
After speaking, the village chief opened the door with the key and left, leaving the priest standing there alone.
After watching the village chief slowly walk up the stairs and disappear, he walked into the room.
"His son's room, but no one has lived here for a long time."
The priest found that the wooden table in the room had accumulated a layer of dust, and the items on the bed were also very old.
There is no light in this room, so the lighting is all provided by the flashlight brought by the priest.
The priest walked to the window and found that the window was tightly closed and secured with wooden boards.
There was no light source in the entire room except the flashlight in the priest's hand, and the only window in the room could not let in any light.
"The windows are sealed. The village chief's son should be gone."
The priest saw the deceased photo of the village chief's son on the table next to him. In the black and white photo frame was a child in his teens.
His face was expressionless, his expression was cold, and his eyes were looking out gloomily.
The picture frame faced the bed, and the priest placed the picture frame face down on the table.
It's really dangerous to sleep with this thing facing you at night.
After checking around, the priest found no other clues except this photo.
Apart from this photo, there is nothing else about the village chief's son, and there are no clothes even in the wardrobe.
The empty large wardrobe is placed here. The wardrobe is just to the left of the bed, only one meter away.
The priest closed the closet after carefully checking that there was nothing in it. Except for the photo in the whole room, this closet gave him a strange feeling.
It was getting late. He had to live here for at least a few days, and lack of sleep was a taboo.
Even though the surrounding environment was very strange, he still had to sleep when he should, so the priest just put on his clothes and lay on the bed.
He put all his belongings back into the bracelet space and placed a weapon beside his pillow.
Bring protective props with you and fall asleep in seconds as soon as you close your eyes.
This is what he has practiced, and he can quickly enter light sleep no matter what the environment is.
In the middle of the night, a rustling sound came from outside the door, as if some movement was dragging across the ground.
Inside the room, the priest woke up immediately after hearing the sound, but he did not make any movements and kept his eyes closed.
The sound stopped for a moment outside the priest's room, as if something was on the door and the door shook a little.
However, the sound only stayed for a few seconds, and gradually disappeared as if no one was there.
What was that just now? The priest didn't expect it to appear on the first night. Doesn't that mean you shouldn't go out at night?
If he had not entered the village chief's house at this time, the consequences might not have been very good.
"Dong dong dong."
There was a sound from the second floor, as if something was rolling on the floor. The priest felt that the danger was over and fell asleep again.
These sounds may last all night, and if he doesn't sleep because of them, he won't be able to find clues for a few days.
In this mission world, you can't go out at night, so things can only be done during the day. It would be terrible if you don't get enough sleep during the day.
There will be no danger for the first night.
The priest immediately fell into sleep, and no matter how loud the sound coming from upstairs became louder, he remained unmoved.
The sound slowly disappeared until the sun rose.
The priest in his sleep seemed to feel something, and his brows relaxed a little.
There is no expression on his face.
On the stairs, the village chief slowly walked down from the top. He saw some marks on the floor downstairs and looked towards the room where the priest was.
When he found that the door was closed, his eyes couldn't help but darken.
I slowly bent down and walked down the stairs to the kitchen, where there were many vegetables.
He picked up a handful of vegetables with his old, bark-like hands, and cut the vegetables with a clattering motion that was no longer consistent with his strength.
He seemed to be chopping meat instead of vegetables, and the priest who was sleeping in the room heard the sound.
When he opened his eyes, the room was still dark, no different from night. The priest got up, fumbled around, put on his shoes and got out of bed.
However, his eyesight could still see the outlines of some objects. Looking at the table, the photo frame that had been pressed against the table by the priest stood up again.
The priest walked over and placed the photo frame on the table again with an expressionless expression.
After looking around the house and seeing no other changes, I opened the door to the room. As expected, there were some drag marks on the floor outside, each one relatively new.
It should have been left last night, and there are still some traces that are older.
The priest knelt down and took a look. There seemed to be some smell of blood, but it was very light.
After walking out of the room, the priest obviously felt that the sound of chopping vegetables in the kitchen was much quieter, and he slowly walked towards the kitchen.
In the kitchen, the old man had already processed all the ingredients, and happened to see the priest appearing outside.
"Breakfast will just wait."
"Go sit and wait."
After hearing this, the priest did not insist on staying and walked out.
The village chief turned around and continued to cook, his eyes becoming more gloomy as if he was not in a good mood.
But the sound of cooking is much quieter.
The priest glanced at the stairs and looked up. There seemed to be some traces on the stairs. Just when the priest wanted to see what they were, the village chief suddenly walked out.
"What are you doing."
