Chapter Fifty-Three: Good and Evil Will Be Rewarded in the End
The old woman said tremblingly, not daring to look at the village chief.
But she refused to let go of her hand holding the corner of her clothes. The village chief looked at her to calm down and said.
"Things have already happened. We can only find a solution to what happened last night."
The old woman then raised her head and said with a look of fear in her eyes: "Last night my eldest son suddenly came out of the house. I also heard the noise and ran over quickly."
"He was about to go out with his eyes closed as if he was sleepwalking. I dragged him, but none of us could hold him back."
The old woman's pupils couldn't help but shrink when she said this, and there was cold sweat on her forehead.
It seemed like he had thought of something terrible.
"I saw something was wrapped around his feet, and he broke away from us before we could see him clearly."
"I ran all the way to this house, and there was no movement after that."
"Village Chief, that thing is getting stronger and stronger. It attacked us even if we didn't open the door at night!"
After the old woman said this, the other villagers around her couldn't help but panic. The jumble of voices made the village chief feel dizzy.
"Shut up, everyone!"
After the village chief spoke, everything fell silent.
It seems that he is still very dignified in this village, and ordinary villagers still dare not disobey him.
The white-haired village chief looked at the old house in front of him with a gloomy expression.
"Is it because of the stranger last night that caused this riot?"
A village woman in her twenties spoke in a loud voice, her face full of meanness, and her sarcastic expression was annoying.
The man next to her quickly covered her mouth and apologized to the village chief.
"This is also possible. Dazhu, please stop covering your wife."
The village chief looked at the man and said.
"Yes, I think it was the foreigner who made that thing come out!"
"I think, village chief, you'd better let that man go."
"That's right."
The villagers all left the responsibility to the priest, as if these things really had nothing to do with them.
An old man in the crowd, who was about the same age as the village chief, suddenly spoke out.
"This may have nothing to do with that guy. I think it's just that you have done too many bad things!"
"If I hadn't done that thing, would I be like this now?"
As he spoke, he tapped the ground with his cane and stared at the villagers with a beard.
"You should stop talking so much and behave like a noble person."
The mean village woman said sarcastically.
She didn't save any face for the old man. Although what she said made people feel uncomfortable, no one objected.
"You...you will pay the price sooner or later."
The old man shut up and stopped talking. He was obviously very angry.
"What should the village chief do next..."
"It's daytime now. Let's go out with a few of you and me to take a look. It's not a problem to stay in there!"
After the village chief finished speaking, no one said anything. Obviously, no one wanted to go in and take risks.
"You three come in with me!"
"Do you want that thing to come to you at night?"
The three men who were named all showed bitterness on their faces, but in the end they still did not dare to resist the village chief's words.
I can only say that I am unlucky. Why did I have to stand in front just now? If I hide behind, I won't be selected.
The three of them walked out slowly.
"I also know that everyone is afraid, but if we don't solve it... do you still dare to sleep tonight?"
The villagers seemed to have remembered something terrible, and the three men no longer hesitated. They all had families.
If they don't solve the problem tonight, no one knows which team will be selected, and that's something they can't deal with.
Only by bringing the old woman's son out will they stop coming at night.
"Now in broad daylight, that thing is still a little wary."
"You all bring the guys, let's go in!"
After the village chief gave his instructions, he walked to the old house.
The three strong men all had their boys with them, but the three grown men did not dare to walk in front of the village chief.
I feel really ashamed to say it.
The door of this old house was locked. The village chief took out the key and opened the big lock. He opened the door and was the first to walk in.
Other villagers are gathered below, ready to help if anything happens. After all, this matter concerns everyone.
The old woman who was holding on to the village chief's trousers now stood up and stood at the front, with anxiety in her eyes.
She was still holding on to some luck, hoping that her son would still be alive, although the possibility was slim.
"There is indeed something strange about this village."
The priest listened to the sound in the earphones, and he heard what everyone there said.
"Is it an old house? This should be the old house that the village chief said was abandoned last night."
The priest felt that if he had opened the door and gone out last night, he might have been the one who died.
But even if you don't open the door in the future, nothing will necessarily happen. The restrictions on these things are slowly being reduced.
There is no time limit for the main mission, which means that he cannot leave this world before completing the mission. Sooner or later, that thing will have no restrictions!
This kind of task with no time limit is not easy to complete, and now the villagers are hostile to him.
He might not get much benefit from asking for information, but the old man just now could go and have a look.
He must know something. The priest feels that as long as he knows what happened in this village in the past, all the problems can be solved.
"What's this!"
The priest found an extra section of hair at his feet, half of which was stuck to the sole of his shoe.
Normally, you might not feel anything when you see this, but after seeing the hair all over the room before, I suddenly felt a little nauseous when I saw this.
The priest pulled his hair out and just as he was about to go downstairs, he felt something sound.
rustle.
The sound of something dragging on the ground came from the first room. The priest suddenly turned his head and took out Karin's scepter from the bracelet space.
Item name: Karin’s scepter
Function: After use, the floor within one meter will be spotless (no time limit)
Explanation: Karin is a person with severe mysophobia, and the scepter gained this ability accidentally.
This prop comes in handy now.
"My hair can be considered trash, but the surrounding area is spotless."
He just happened to find hair on the ground, so he tested it first. The section of hair on the ground that he had just used Karin's scepter disappeared instantly.
Some of the dust has also disappeared and the floor is really spotless.
There is a clear boundary with the land next to it, and the color is much brighter.
However, depending on how old the floor is, the original color cannot be restored no matter how hard it is cleaned.
"I don't know whether the one-meter distance refers to the ground or around the whole body."
“It would be great if it was one meter with no blind spots in 360 degrees!”
The previous diary had a 360-degree view, but it was a pity that the prop was only a one-time use.
