npc after love game fancy bee
Chapter 37 4-Day Island Tour
Xia Youjie saw Nayue Sakai, who had just gotten closer to him, leave the attic with a dull expression on his face. Before leaving, he rejected his offer to help.
Looking at the back of the girl leaving tragically, Xia Youjie tugged at the hair on his forehead in confusion.Did he just say something horrible?It seems not?
Is the program malfunctioning?Xia Youjie applied to inquire about the game system, and the result was that everything was normal.
Really couldn't understand why the NPC's mood fluctuated so violently, Xia Youjie closed the ceiling, and was about to go to the reading room on the first floor to take a look.
Perhaps because he didn't check carefully when he entered the room just now, Xia Youjie suddenly discovered that there were actually some incomprehensible symbols engraved on the wooden board used as the wall on the first floor, and among them, a rather weird pattern appeared with high frequency.
It consists of three snail-like vortex connections, arranged in a triangular shape, surrounded by a circle.Xia Youjie noticed it because he was bigger than the other symbols, and it looked like some kind of decoration on the wall.
He looked around the hall and saw this pattern on the wooden board where the overhead chandelier was located, which was as big as some kind of magic circle.Xia Youjie took note of this figure carefully, and pushed open the door of the reading room.
There is a huge bookcase next to the wall at the entrance, which almost takes up the entire wall, and the rest is tables and chairs for reading.Xia Youjie was shocked by the number of books here for a while, and then saw Yongdao Kumi at the table by the window.She was reading a book with a very devoted expression, wearing black thin-rimmed glasses, and frowning slightly.
The sound he made when he entered the door did not affect Yongdao Jiumei at all. She didn't even lift her head, and buried all her energy in the book.
Xia Youjie raised his eyebrows.He didn't look at the teacher who was indulging in books, but looked back at the bookcase.
The divisions inside are not as precise as in the library. Magazines, bibliographies and newspapers are scattered together without any rules.And because there is no communication with the outside world, Xia Youjie hardly saw any news about other islands in the newspapers, all of them were trivial matters in the village and lost and found.
He put down the newspaper and opened a book casually.Unlike the newspaper, the book looked very old, with frayed edges on some tattered covers and yellowed pages.More importantly, the book is not any kind of common language or Japanese, but some symbols that he can't understand, but Xia Youjie somehow feels that it should be some kind of ancient text.
"Mrs. Yongdao," Xia Youjie walked to the side of the woman who was concentrating on reading, and said softly, "Do you know this kind of writing?"
The sudden shadow brought Yongshima Jiumei back to her senses from the book. She looked up at the tall boy and pushed her glasses: "What text?"
The puzzled expression made Xia Youjie realize that he seemed to have taken out something extraordinary. He sat down on the seat next to him calmly and opened the book in his hand: "That's it, it looks like a symbol. .”
"Isn't the book in your hand such a text?"
"No, this book of mine talks about the geographical location and climate of Senin Island." Yongdao Jiumei took the book from the young man and told what he had just read, "This is a temperate maritime climate. , the winter is long, the summer is short and cool, and there will be extreme daylight.”
"However, the weather here is calm and the absence of typhoons is the most fortunate thing in the barren fishery of Sai Nin."
Xia Youjie listened quietly to the woman's narration, but found that she suddenly lost her voice.He turned his head and found that Yongshima Kumi was staring at the book with a shocked expression.
"This is the Fanning text!"
The excited and fanatical tone made Xia Youjie feel a little weird. He stared at Yongdao Jiumei's bloodshot and flushed face with a puzzled expression: "What is the Fanning text?"
"Xiayou-kun, do you know why I came here?" Yongdao Jiumei didn't answer the boy's question right away, but started from another place with an intoxicated smile, "I study ancient characters, and there is a kind of characters that fascinates me. , I have been with it day and night, but I have never seen the real one.”
"After hearing that there are many symbols on Saining's stone, I decided to come here no matter what, because this is likely to be the closest moment I have to the Fanning script."
The dark-haired woman took off her glasses, tremblingly stroked the yellowed paper, almost crying.
Xia Youjie saw her like this, and at a certain moment, he felt that he had hallucinated her into the disciples of the Panxing Sect.He felt physically uncomfortable with the scene in front of him, and the smell of stinky rags from swallowing the spell reappeared in his mouth as if it had substance.
He stopped admiring Yongshima Kumi's performance, and tapped the table with his fingers: "So what exactly is Fanning script?"
"As mentioned in that book, Senin Island is actually a place with a very long culture. In the ancient mythology period, they used Fanning script, but now it is gradually lost, and it has become a mysterious symbol integrated into the blood of local residents. middle."
Nagashima Kumi wiped off the wet water from the corners of his eyes, put his glasses back on, and his face returned to calm: "I believe that the two-day June Festival must have something to do with their mysterious culture, maybe I can see more at that time Sanskrit and the reappearance of lost cultures!"
"Will Mrs. Yongdao recognize these words?"
This is what Xia Youjie is most concerned about at the moment. He firmly believes that there must be something related to the content of the game in this book, but he can't understand it at all.He stared at the brunette, anticipation flashing in his purple eyes.
However, the result was not as he wished.
Yongshima Jiumei closed the book with a very calm expression: "I'm sorry, Mr. Xia You, this is a text that no one can decipher. Maybe you should ask the locals instead of a newcomer like you."
After eating a nail, Xia Youjie faintly felt that he had some signs of a bad start. After responding to Yongshima Kumi, he put the book back to its original place and searched for the rest of the materials he could understand.
......
After spending an afternoon in the reading room, Xia Youjie felt that he didn't have any key information.There are about five or six hundred books on the bookshelf. It is impossible for him to read all of them. He can only select books at random. What information he can find is similar to opening a blind box.
Most of these newspapers, magazines and books show the beautiful scenery and simple folk customs of Senin Island. At most, a few of them mention that June Festival is a very important festival for them, held every ten years , It takes a lot of preparation every time.
The only material that can be called a clue has to do with Juneteenth.The June Festival is held on the second day after the polar day, and on that day the whole village will have a baptism.Baptisms are usually held in the morning, and the festivities officially begin after the sun goes down.
But in Xia Youjie's view, these materials are very general, and the information is as vague as Wutiaowu's mission report, without any more specific content, so overall, the gains are not great.
But now the sky outside was already dark. On the way, Village Chief Charles came in and lit the candles for them. The dim yellow candlelight made the room dark and unclear.
Xia Youjie rubbed his sore eyes.After living in modern times for a long time, it would be somewhat unaccustomed to suddenly return to this relatively primitive place, and he couldn't find any more information at the moment, so he planned to leave.
Just as he was about to say goodbye to Nagashima Kumi, the door opened.
"Jiume, classmate Xia You," Yongdao Shohei stood at the door and called their names with a smile on his face, "Come out for dinner, the village chief is ready."
When Xia Youjie went out, he saw that other people had gathered around the dining room, and the village chief was placing dishes on the dining table.He walked to Sakai Natsuki to find an empty seat, and said in a surprised tone, "Did the village head prepare these by himself?"
There are three meat dishes and four vegetarian dishes on the table. The meat dishes are almost all home-cooked food, while the vegetarian dishes are somewhat unfamiliar.
Charles untied the apron and greeted everyone to sit down: "Of course I prepared it myself, otherwise I should have given you more generous dishes."
"But everyone is busy with the celebration, so I don't have much time to receive everyone."
Xia Youjie looked at the silver-haired man with a natural expression, and casually mentioned his family: "What about your wife? Is she busy?"
"That's not true," Charles said casually while distributing bowls and chopsticks. "My wife reached bliss ten years ago, and my daughter is still in school, so I have always lived alone at home."
"You must know that I really didn't know how to cook at the beginning, and it took me a long time to learn to become what I am today."
Although talking about the loss of his wife, there was no pain on Charles's face, instead he seemed cheerful as if nothing had happened.Xia Youjie cast an apologetic look at him, but there were many doubts in his heart, but he knew that now was not the time to ask questions.
He sat down quietly at the dining table, with the village chief on the left and Natsuki Sakai on the right. Three adults were drinking and chatting while eating.
The blond girl still didn't want to pay attention to his appearance, buried her head in eating white rice, and glanced at him from time to time.Xia Youjie stopped eating, and when she looked over again, he leaned over and asked softly, "What's wrong?"
Sakai Natsuki shivered, and after struggling for a long time, she pulled the hair hanging in front of her with her fingers in embarrassment, and replied in a low voice, "Well, Xia You-kun..."
"Can I trouble you to pinch some of the meat over there?"
The girl's face was flushed with embarrassment, her lake green eyes were shining, and she looked at herself without blinking.Xia Youjie turned his head to look according to her gaze, and found that the plate arrangement was indeed a little unreasonable.
Sakai Natsuki sat on the far right of the long table, and in front of her was a plate of green vegetables whose name was unknown, and the other dishes were far away from her.Xia Youjie took the chopsticks from the girl's hand and helped her pick up the grilled lamb chops, and the corners of his mouth turned up: "What else do you want to eat?"
For a second, Xia Youjie felt that Sakai Natsuki had turned into a light bulb after hearing these words, shining dazzlingly in the dim candlelight.She ordered two dishes with eyes full of light, and Xia Youjie followed suit one by one and put them into the girl's bowl.
But he suddenly found that Sakai Natsuki's bowl didn't have any vegetarian dishes in it. He grabbed the girl's chopsticks and looked puzzled: "Don't you want some green vegetables? It's quite delicious."
"Don't..." Sakai Nazuki answered the question without thinking, with a panicked expression on his face, "The vegetables are so unpalatable."
Charles, who was chatting with Shohei Nagashima, heard these words. He looked back at the blond girl in the corner with a smile on his face: "What's the matter? Is it because the food doesn't suit your appetite?"
"These green vegetables are our specialty, and you can't find them in other places, but there are some people who are not used to them."
Sakai Natsuki didn't expect to be discovered, she hurriedly waved her hands, cautiously: "No, it's just that I don't like vegetarian dishes."
"Oh?" The village head looked a little curious, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Is it because of the smell?"
She recalled her experience of trying to eat green vegetables, and her complexion was ashen: "The taste and texture are unacceptable. In my opinion, these should not be something to eat."
Said, Sakai Natsuki lowered his head and apologized: "I'm sorry, it's just that my taste is a bit strange, and other dishes are delicious."
"Don't say that, everyone has different preferences."
"You can eat whatever you want, if you don't have enough, just tell me, and I will prepare it for you."
The village head's enthusiastic words were a bit overwhelming, Xia Youjie stared at the ever-growing smile on his face, and squinted his eyes.
He didn't know exactly what was wrong, but these conversations always felt a little strange.
There was nothing unusual about the dinner that night except for the slightly strange conversation between the village head and Natsuki Sakai and Natsuki Sakai showing everyone her unique eating skills.Xia Youjie spent the first night in a daze with the company of the sky full of stars, and ushered in a more boring second day.
In fact, Xia Youjie didn't want to fall asleep at first. This was the first night in the game, so he was naturally very wary of possible accidents that might happen.But looking at the beautiful galaxy outside the window and the cooler temperature at night, he fell asleep unconsciously.
Fortunately, nothing happened at night.He made a mark on the door lock, and the next day the little string was still hanging by the door in its entirety, without any trace of being moved.
During the day, the horror game has completely become a travel simulator, and even unlocks the map function to mark attractions.
Today is the annual polar day on Senin Island. The whole island is shrouded in the sun all day, and the sun never sets.And in such weather, the village chief took them to visit various parts of the island.
The village is built on the cliffs one after another. Along the mountain road, there are many different families. When they saw them, they greeted them warmly and kindly, and some people wanted to invite them to sit in the house.
At the top is a stone house with only one floor.
"This is our sanctuary."
Pointing to the closed steeple stone house, Charles restrained the smile that existed all the time on his face, with a solemn expression: "Generally we don't open this place, and only on Juneteenth will we open the door of the church to welcome gifts and blessings. "
Although there is only one floor, the height of the cliff makes it the highest artificial building in the entire island.The mottled stone walls of the house seem to have a very long history, and there are purple flowers that are exactly the same as the gate of the village chief's house, as well as ancient trees.
The scent of flowers is very strong, and even has some herbal smell, but Xia Youjie has gotten used to it along the way, so it doesn't feel strong.He looked up at the roof that almost touched the sky, and understood why the locals chose to use this place as a sanctuary.
The place closest to the sky certainly has many hidden meanings, but different cultures interpret it differently.Xia Youjie thought of those incomprehensible symbols yesterday, and carefully looked at the stone house.
Perhaps because of the age, the lines on the stone have been weathered and worn by the natural environment, but some light-colored traces can still be vaguely seen.Xia Youjie took two steps closer and recognized that it was a huge pattern occupying the entire outer wall.
The other two circles are nested inside the elliptical circle, and it is impossible to tell what kind of figure it is.He turned his head to look at the village chief, with a puzzled look on his face: "Charles, do these symbols have any meaning?"
"I also saw a lot in the book yesterday. Mrs. Yongdao said it was written in Fanning, but we don't know any of them."
Xia Youjie sold Yongdao Jiumei without hesitation, and at the same time received the angry gaze from the black-haired woman.
"There are still outsiders who know the Fanning script." Charles looked at Yongshima Kumi with emotion, and then turned his eyes back to the boy. "These symbols are related to our gods, but now no one can understand the specifics. What does it all mean?"
"However, the priest in the village still has research on Fanning script. If you are curious, you can take you to him."
This is the end of the visit to the sanctuary. The village head is going to lead everyone to see the various glacial lakes and magnificent fjords that are naturally formed in the island.When Xia Youjie was about to leave, she saw Sakai Natsuki still standing on the edge of the cliff. She stared blankly down, as if she hadn't heard the village chief's arrangement.
He walked up to the blond girl with a curious look on his face: "What are you looking at?"
Sakai Natsuki didn't look at her peers around her, but just looked straight into the distance without boundaries, and said softly, "The sea."
"Even if I stand on a high point, even if I can reach out and touch the sky, I still seem to be a small existence in front of the ocean. They surround me and surround me, and I am just a speck of dust."
The girl's long golden hair was blown away by the breeze, and she was bathed in the sun, raving about her love for the sea.Along the way, she showed no special likes and dislikes for other landscapes, and only at this moment when she was on the cliff overlooking the sea did she show her true emotions.
Xia Youjie followed her whisper and looked towards the sea.
The deep blue sea surrounds the island peacefully, and the undulating waves beat on the reef and set off white waves.The sun that never goes out during the day and night hangs in the sky, illuminating the color of the picture extraordinarily brightly, complementing the village that has nothing to do with horror.
The blue, which is more beautiful than any movie screen, spreads wantonly in the sea water, constantly expanding towards the distance, as if it wants to swallow the sky and wrap the whole world.
Xia Youjie understood why Sakai Naizuki used 'dust' to describe herself.
According to common sense, climbing high and looking into the distance will give people a wider horizon, and it will give people a surging feeling that everything in the world is under me.But when facing the endless ocean, the higher you stand, the more you can feel the magnificence of the sea, so that you have the illusion that you will be submerged in the waves.
Moreover, Xia Youjie found that when facing the clear blue but bottomless sea water, a little fear rose in his heart.Human beings only have less than 5% of the exploration of the ocean. Who knows if there are any unknown creatures under the seemingly calm water staring at him when he is gazing at the sea?
Once this kind of thought came up, Xia Youjie suddenly felt an uncomfortable feeling of being watched all over his body.He rubbed the goosebumps that came out in the summer, and grabbed Sakai Natsuki's arm.
"Let's go, the village chief and the others have been away for a while."
Subconsciously told Xia Youjie to run away, but when he dragged Sakai Natsuki and ran after the village chief without hesitation, he realized that his thoughts were a bit ridiculous.
It's not that he has never seen the sea, nor does he have deep-sea phobia, so how could he suddenly feel afraid of the sea?
Xia Youjie attributed this abnormality to being too nervous in the game.He let go of the blond girl's hand, and saw a red mark on the snow-white skin.
"sorry......"
Xia Youjie looked at the girl apologetically, and got a warm smile from the girl who didn't care.
"It's okay, the village head is beside the car, let's go."
The unchanging daylight confused the boundaries of time, Xia Youjie followed the village chief around the island in a lack of interest, and his mood became more and more depressed.
It's not that the scenery is bad.For him, who is always wandering between missions and spells, this place is like a place specially designed for him to relax.People live happily and happily, neighbors are harmonious and friendly, there are no curses and no fights, it is a scene of paradise.
The natural scenery is also world-class. If it is placed in reality, it will probably become a place where people rush to check in, but it will also lose the most original ecological landscape as Nagashima Kumi said.
But the basis of the above praise is to regard this place as a tourist attraction.Xia Youjie has never understood why he saw such a large positive image in horror games. Now the game feels like watching a long movie. The main plot has not yet appeared after half of the time, and the director is still in the water. The duration generally does not enter the main line.
He even wondered if it would be everyone celebrating together tomorrow and then going home happily to end the game the day after tomorrow.If this is the case, Xia Youjie feels like a waste of time.
Before the return journey, Xia Youjie followed the village head to see the priest, sat on a stool and listened to him speak a bunch of incomprehensible words, and in the end he didn't understand how to recognize Fanning's characters, and was deducted five points for nothing spiritual value.
This is the first time the system has made its presence felt today.Amidst the smog, accompanied by the strong and pungent smell of spices, Xia Youjie was dizzy listening to the priest in white murmuring incomprehensible strange language, shaking his hands from time to time The bell looks very much like a liar.
But it can only be said to be like, because another system message that was broadcast at the same time as his mental value decreased indicated that he probably still has something.
[Myth value increased by 5, current myth value: 25]
Xia Youjie still hasn't figured out what this mythical value is used for, but he thinks it's better to increase it than decrease it.
Soon it was time for dinner, and they ate next door to the village chief's house.
Forced to walk for a day, Xia Youjie couldn't help but eat a little more at night.The hostess has been warmly greeting them to dine, and with a very proud expression, she introduced that the local ingredients are good products that are not available outside.
Xia Youjie has a deep understanding of this.Except for Sakai Natsuki who does not eat vegetarian dishes, everyone is full of praise for the local cuisine of Senin Island. Even Chie Kazama, who is the most difficult to deal with, is rarely picky and disdainful. Under such a comparison On the contrary, the mediocre meat dishes looked a bit ordinary.
As for the male owner of this family, Xia Youjie felt a little weird.He found that the blond-haired man named Martin had a vicissitudes of face, an extremely thin figure, and an old-fashioned appearance that did not match his age, all of which showed that his physical health was very dangerous, and the constant coughing up blood seemed to indicate his infirmity. Life may be coming to an end.
Although Martin himself was in very good spirits, the kind and friendly local people did not show any care and consideration for this patient, as if they could not see his body afflicted by the disease, or did not take this thing to heart at all.
This made Xia Youjie very puzzled. While everyone was chatting in the restaurant, he interjected, "Maybe there is a doctor on the island? Mr. Martin should see a doctor."
"Oh boy," the village head looked at the black-haired boy kindly, with a smile on his face, "We don't need a doctor here."
"And poor Martin will be well tomorrow."
The five local villagers who gathered at Martin's house began to respond to the village chief's words. They surrounded Martin, who was reclining on the stool, and chanted strange songs with solemn expressions and loud voices.
The scene changed from a warm gathering to a ceremony that looked like a farewell and a welcome.Xia Youjie silently looked at everyone's obsessed expressions, and suddenly he didn't know what to say.
What do you mean tomorrow will be fine?
When Xia Youjie thought about the celebration that was going to be held tomorrow, he felt subtle unease in his heart.
The author says:
感谢在2021-11-2017:59:20~2021-11-2117:23:01期间为我投出霸王票或灌溉营养液的小天使哦~
Thanks to the little angels who irrigate the nutrient solution: 58 bottles of bitter chocolate; Jiaojiao did not marry Zhongye today, 3 bottles;
Thank you very much for your support, I will continue to work hard! ?
Looking at the back of the girl leaving tragically, Xia Youjie tugged at the hair on his forehead in confusion.Did he just say something horrible?It seems not?
Is the program malfunctioning?Xia Youjie applied to inquire about the game system, and the result was that everything was normal.
Really couldn't understand why the NPC's mood fluctuated so violently, Xia Youjie closed the ceiling, and was about to go to the reading room on the first floor to take a look.
Perhaps because he didn't check carefully when he entered the room just now, Xia Youjie suddenly discovered that there were actually some incomprehensible symbols engraved on the wooden board used as the wall on the first floor, and among them, a rather weird pattern appeared with high frequency.
It consists of three snail-like vortex connections, arranged in a triangular shape, surrounded by a circle.Xia Youjie noticed it because he was bigger than the other symbols, and it looked like some kind of decoration on the wall.
He looked around the hall and saw this pattern on the wooden board where the overhead chandelier was located, which was as big as some kind of magic circle.Xia Youjie took note of this figure carefully, and pushed open the door of the reading room.
There is a huge bookcase next to the wall at the entrance, which almost takes up the entire wall, and the rest is tables and chairs for reading.Xia Youjie was shocked by the number of books here for a while, and then saw Yongdao Kumi at the table by the window.She was reading a book with a very devoted expression, wearing black thin-rimmed glasses, and frowning slightly.
The sound he made when he entered the door did not affect Yongdao Jiumei at all. She didn't even lift her head, and buried all her energy in the book.
Xia Youjie raised his eyebrows.He didn't look at the teacher who was indulging in books, but looked back at the bookcase.

He put down the newspaper and opened a book casually.Unlike the newspaper, the book looked very old, with frayed edges on some tattered covers and yellowed pages.More importantly, the book is not any kind of common language or Japanese, but some symbols that he can't understand, but Xia Youjie somehow feels that it should be some kind of ancient text.

"No, this book of mine talks about the geographical location and climate of Senin Island." Yongdao Jiumei took the book from the young man and told what he had just read, "This is a temperate maritime climate. , the winter is long, the summer is short and cool, and there will be extreme daylight.”

Just as he was about to say goodbye to Nagashima Kumi, the door opened.
"Jiume, classmate Xia You," Yongdao Shohei stood at the door and called their names with a smile on his face, "Come out for dinner, the village chief is ready."

For a second, Xia Youjie felt that Sakai Natsuki had turned into a light bulb after hearing these words, shining dazzlingly in the dim candlelight.She ordered two dishes with eyes full of light, and Xia Youjie followed suit one by one and put them into the girl's bowl.
But he suddenly found that Sakai Natsuki's bowl didn't have any vegetarian dishes in it. He grabbed the girl's chopsticks and looked puzzled: "Don't you want some green vegetables? It's quite delicious."
"Don't..." Sakai Nazuki answered the question without thinking, with a panicked expression on his face, "The vegetables are so unpalatable."
Charles, who was chatting with Shohei Nagashima, heard these words. He looked back at the blond girl in the corner with a smile on his face: "What's the matter? Is it because the food doesn't suit your appetite?"
"These green vegetables are our specialty, and you can't find them in other places, but there are some people who are not used to them."
Sakai Natsuki didn't expect to be discovered, she hurriedly waved her hands, cautiously: "No, it's just that I don't like vegetarian dishes."
"Oh?" The village head looked a little curious, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Is it because of the smell?"
She recalled her experience of trying to eat green vegetables, and her complexion was ashen: "The taste and texture are unacceptable. In my opinion, these should not be something to eat."
Said, Sakai Natsuki lowered his head and apologized: "I'm sorry, it's just that my taste is a bit strange, and other dishes are delicious."
"Don't say that, everyone has different preferences."
"You can eat whatever you want, if you don't have enough, just tell me, and I will prepare it for you."
The village head's enthusiastic words were a bit overwhelming, Xia Youjie stared at the ever-growing smile on his face, and squinted his eyes.
He didn't know exactly what was wrong, but these conversations always felt a little strange.
There was nothing unusual about the dinner that night except for the slightly strange conversation between the village head and Natsuki Sakai and Natsuki Sakai showing everyone her unique eating skills.Xia Youjie spent the first night in a daze with the company of the sky full of stars, and ushered in a more boring second day.
In fact, Xia Youjie didn't want to fall asleep at first. This was the first night in the game, so he was naturally very wary of possible accidents that might happen.But looking at the beautiful galaxy outside the window and the cooler temperature at night, he fell asleep unconsciously.
Fortunately, nothing happened at night.He made a mark on the door lock, and the next day the little string was still hanging by the door in its entirety, without any trace of being moved.
During the day, the horror game has completely become a travel simulator, and even unlocks the map function to mark attractions.
Today is the annual polar day on Senin Island. The whole island is shrouded in the sun all day, and the sun never sets.And in such weather, the village chief took them to visit various parts of the island.
The village is built on the cliffs one after another. Along the mountain road, there are many different families. When they saw them, they greeted them warmly and kindly, and some people wanted to invite them to sit in the house.
At the top is a stone house with only one floor.
"This is our sanctuary."
Pointing to the closed steeple stone house, Charles restrained the smile that existed all the time on his face, with a solemn expression: "Generally we don't open this place, and only on Juneteenth will we open the door of the church to welcome gifts and blessings. "
Although there is only one floor, the height of the cliff makes it the highest artificial building in the entire island.The mottled stone walls of the house seem to have a very long history, and there are purple flowers that are exactly the same as the gate of the village chief's house, as well as ancient trees.
The scent of flowers is very strong, and even has some herbal smell, but Xia Youjie has gotten used to it along the way, so it doesn't feel strong.He looked up at the roof that almost touched the sky, and understood why the locals chose to use this place as a sanctuary.
The place closest to the sky certainly has many hidden meanings, but different cultures interpret it differently.Xia Youjie thought of those incomprehensible symbols yesterday, and carefully looked at the stone house.
Perhaps because of the age, the lines on the stone have been weathered and worn by the natural environment, but some light-colored traces can still be vaguely seen.Xia Youjie took two steps closer and recognized that it was a huge pattern occupying the entire outer wall.
The other two circles are nested inside the elliptical circle, and it is impossible to tell what kind of figure it is.He turned his head to look at the village chief, with a puzzled look on his face: "Charles, do these symbols have any meaning?"
"I also saw a lot in the book yesterday. Mrs. Yongdao said it was written in Fanning, but we don't know any of them."
Xia Youjie sold Yongdao Jiumei without hesitation, and at the same time received the angry gaze from the black-haired woman.
"There are still outsiders who know the Fanning script." Charles looked at Yongshima Kumi with emotion, and then turned his eyes back to the boy. "These symbols are related to our gods, but now no one can understand the specifics. What does it all mean?"
"However, the priest in the village still has research on Fanning script. If you are curious, you can take you to him."
This is the end of the visit to the sanctuary. The village head is going to lead everyone to see the various glacial lakes and magnificent fjords that are naturally formed in the island.When Xia Youjie was about to leave, she saw Sakai Natsuki still standing on the edge of the cliff. She stared blankly down, as if she hadn't heard the village chief's arrangement.
He walked up to the blond girl with a curious look on his face: "What are you looking at?"
Sakai Natsuki didn't look at her peers around her, but just looked straight into the distance without boundaries, and said softly, "The sea."
"Even if I stand on a high point, even if I can reach out and touch the sky, I still seem to be a small existence in front of the ocean. They surround me and surround me, and I am just a speck of dust."
The girl's long golden hair was blown away by the breeze, and she was bathed in the sun, raving about her love for the sea.Along the way, she showed no special likes and dislikes for other landscapes, and only at this moment when she was on the cliff overlooking the sea did she show her true emotions.
Xia Youjie followed her whisper and looked towards the sea.
The deep blue sea surrounds the island peacefully, and the undulating waves beat on the reef and set off white waves.The sun that never goes out during the day and night hangs in the sky, illuminating the color of the picture extraordinarily brightly, complementing the village that has nothing to do with horror.
The blue, which is more beautiful than any movie screen, spreads wantonly in the sea water, constantly expanding towards the distance, as if it wants to swallow the sky and wrap the whole world.
Xia Youjie understood why Sakai Naizuki used 'dust' to describe herself.
According to common sense, climbing high and looking into the distance will give people a wider horizon, and it will give people a surging feeling that everything in the world is under me.But when facing the endless ocean, the higher you stand, the more you can feel the magnificence of the sea, so that you have the illusion that you will be submerged in the waves.
Moreover, Xia Youjie found that when facing the clear blue but bottomless sea water, a little fear rose in his heart.Human beings only have less than 5% of the exploration of the ocean. Who knows if there are any unknown creatures under the seemingly calm water staring at him when he is gazing at the sea?
Once this kind of thought came up, Xia Youjie suddenly felt an uncomfortable feeling of being watched all over his body.He rubbed the goosebumps that came out in the summer, and grabbed Sakai Natsuki's arm.
"Let's go, the village chief and the others have been away for a while."
Subconsciously told Xia Youjie to run away, but when he dragged Sakai Natsuki and ran after the village chief without hesitation, he realized that his thoughts were a bit ridiculous.
It's not that he has never seen the sea, nor does he have deep-sea phobia, so how could he suddenly feel afraid of the sea?
Xia Youjie attributed this abnormality to being too nervous in the game.He let go of the blond girl's hand, and saw a red mark on the snow-white skin.
"sorry......"
Xia Youjie looked at the girl apologetically, and got a warm smile from the girl who didn't care.
"It's okay, the village head is beside the car, let's go."
The unchanging daylight confused the boundaries of time, Xia Youjie followed the village chief around the island in a lack of interest, and his mood became more and more depressed.
It's not that the scenery is bad.For him, who is always wandering between missions and spells, this place is like a place specially designed for him to relax.People live happily and happily, neighbors are harmonious and friendly, there are no curses and no fights, it is a scene of paradise.
The natural scenery is also world-class. If it is placed in reality, it will probably become a place where people rush to check in, but it will also lose the most original ecological landscape as Nagashima Kumi said.
But the basis of the above praise is to regard this place as a tourist attraction.Xia Youjie has never understood why he saw such a large positive image in horror games. Now the game feels like watching a long movie. The main plot has not yet appeared after half of the time, and the director is still in the water. The duration generally does not enter the main line.
He even wondered if it would be everyone celebrating together tomorrow and then going home happily to end the game the day after tomorrow.If this is the case, Xia Youjie feels like a waste of time.
Before the return journey, Xia Youjie followed the village head to see the priest, sat on a stool and listened to him speak a bunch of incomprehensible words, and in the end he didn't understand how to recognize Fanning's characters, and was deducted five points for nothing spiritual value.
This is the first time the system has made its presence felt today.Amidst the smog, accompanied by the strong and pungent smell of spices, Xia Youjie was dizzy listening to the priest in white murmuring incomprehensible strange language, shaking his hands from time to time The bell looks very much like a liar.
But it can only be said to be like, because another system message that was broadcast at the same time as his mental value decreased indicated that he probably still has something.
[Myth value increased by 5, current myth value: 25]
Xia Youjie still hasn't figured out what this mythical value is used for, but he thinks it's better to increase it than decrease it.
Soon it was time for dinner, and they ate next door to the village chief's house.
Forced to walk for a day, Xia Youjie couldn't help but eat a little more at night.The hostess has been warmly greeting them to dine, and with a very proud expression, she introduced that the local ingredients are good products that are not available outside.
Xia Youjie has a deep understanding of this.Except for Sakai Natsuki who does not eat vegetarian dishes, everyone is full of praise for the local cuisine of Senin Island. Even Chie Kazama, who is the most difficult to deal with, is rarely picky and disdainful. Under such a comparison On the contrary, the mediocre meat dishes looked a bit ordinary.
As for the male owner of this family, Xia Youjie felt a little weird.He found that the blond-haired man named Martin had a vicissitudes of face, an extremely thin figure, and an old-fashioned appearance that did not match his age, all of which showed that his physical health was very dangerous, and the constant coughing up blood seemed to indicate his infirmity. Life may be coming to an end.
Although Martin himself was in very good spirits, the kind and friendly local people did not show any care and consideration for this patient, as if they could not see his body afflicted by the disease, or did not take this thing to heart at all.
This made Xia Youjie very puzzled. While everyone was chatting in the restaurant, he interjected, "Maybe there is a doctor on the island? Mr. Martin should see a doctor."
"Oh boy," the village head looked at the black-haired boy kindly, with a smile on his face, "We don't need a doctor here."
"And poor Martin will be well tomorrow."
The five local villagers who gathered at Martin's house began to respond to the village chief's words. They surrounded Martin, who was reclining on the stool, and chanted strange songs with solemn expressions and loud voices.
The scene changed from a warm gathering to a ceremony that looked like a farewell and a welcome.Xia Youjie silently looked at everyone's obsessed expressions, and suddenly he didn't know what to say.
What do you mean tomorrow will be fine?
When Xia Youjie thought about the celebration that was going to be held tomorrow, he felt subtle unease in his heart.
