Chapter 52: The Old House
The village chief looked at him with a bad expression.
"nothing."
The priest knew that he was suspected by the old village chief, so he could only give up the action.
The old man looked at him for a few seconds.
"If you have nothing to do, just sit down and don't wander around."
The tone is not very good.
The priest was not angry and did not conflict with him. After all, he still had to live in his house and it would be bad if he was kicked out.
He could subdue the village chief, but he didn't know how many people there were in the village. He couldn't fight with hundreds of people, and he was outnumbered.
It wasn't until the priest sat down that the village chief slowly walked back to the kitchen, and heard the sound of clicking again.
The priest didn't really want to eat what the other party cooked, and he wasn't sure whether the other party was a human or not.
If his guess last night was correct, the room upstairs might belong to the old village chief.
There was such a big noise last night, but the other party got up today as if nothing had happened and was still in the mood to make breakfast.
There are only two of them in this house, and the old village chief should be the only one living upstairs.
The way the other person looked at him in the morning was also very wrong. His attitude was obviously much worse than yesterday.
It should be that the priest didn't go out last night, which prevented the other party from succeeding.
It seems that the village chief's health is not very good, but you can't judge people by appearances. From the sound of chopping vegetables he heard in the morning, he still has some strength.
The village chief walked out slowly with two bowls of porridge, placed one bowl in front of the priest, and returned to the kitchen.
The priest looked at the white porridge in the bowl with several pieces of red meat and some unknown black ingredients.
The village chief brought out some more side dishes, which should be eaten with the porridge.
The other person sat opposite the priest, put down the plate heavily and looked at the priest.
"Why don't you eat?"
"I've eaten."
The priest felt something strange when he looked at it. When the other party asked him to eat it, it was impossible to say that it was nothing.
The village chief glanced at him and started eating, as if he didn't care whether the priest ate or not.
Just when the village chief had finished eating half of his meal, a villager knocked on the door outside his house.
"Village chief, it's not good, come and have a look!"
The other party's voice was rough and the knock on the door was urgent.
The priest looked over and saw that the village chief put down his chopsticks and bent down to open the door.
"What's wrong."
The young man was about to say something when he glanced at the priest sitting there and suddenly stopped.
"Let's talk as we walk."
The village chief closed the door, not wanting the priest to hear their conversation.
The other party was so avoidant that it was hard for the priest to get involved, but that didn't mean he had no choice.
I saw the priest taking out an earphone from the air. The earphone was an ordinary single-ear Bluetooth.
Special props: eavesdropping headphones
Function: Can hear the conversation of anyone you want to hear, no matter thousands of miles apart
Description: This is an item dropped by a stalker.
This special prop has no use in the mission world or reality, so it has been kept by the priest.
It just came in handy this time.
I put on the earphones and thought about the village chief, and the other person's voice came out of the earphones.
"Someone went in that place again."
"Didn't I tell you not to go out at night?"
The village chief's angry voice came, hating the iron but not the steel.
"They said they saw something inside and couldn't pull it away."
The young man's voice trembled.
"You haven't come out yet!"
"Go and take a look, everyone is waiting for you there."
"Let's go."
The village chief sighed.
"Let's talk about it when we get there."
After that, there was only the sound of two people's footsteps.
The priest looked at the two bowls of porridge on the table and fell into deep thought.
Glancing at the stairs, now is a good opportunity to take action, but where they go should also be a key point.
He got up and walked upstairs. There should be a lot of people there, and he might not be able to gain favor if he went there rashly.
This is a rare opportunity, and we can wait until they all leave. The village is so big, and there are definitely not many places they can go.
After thinking about it, I walked up the stairs. In the headset, the village chief and the boy were still rushing to that place.
The stairs must be a few years old, and there is a slight swaying sound when you step on them.
"What's this."
The priest saw a few hairs in the cracks of the stairs. The length of this hair was that of a woman.
The hair was very long, as long as the priest's arm. The priest pulled out all the hair and put it in a transparent bag.
The main task this time is to find the owner of the hair. Now that the hair has appeared, it is very likely that this hair is what the bus said.
After putting the transparent bag away, the priest walked to the second floor. There were three rooms on the second floor, and the one next to it was above the room where the priest was.
The priest first opened the room with the nearest door. It was filled with clutter and there were no windows in the room.
The priest didn't go in. He saw... the floor was covered with long black hair.
I couldn't see clearly at first, but when I opened the door, I realized that the black stuff on the floor was hair.
It's creepy to look at, and this can easily explain where the long hair on the stairs comes from.
Because he didn't know if stepping on these hairs would trigger anything, the priest decided to look at other rooms before deciding whether to go in.
These hairs gave the priest a sense of danger. He closed the door and walked to the next room.
What the priest didn't see was that the head on the ground moved when the priest closed the door.
Some hair slowly moved towards the door, all of which happened without the priest noticing.
The second room was just an ordinary room, and there were no signs of anyone living there.
The last door was locked, a lock that no old-fashioned priest's master key could open.
You can use enough violence to break the door open, but the noise is too loud, and the village chief will notice it when he returns.
You may have to face an attack from the whole village later. This bedroom door is locked and there must be a secret inside.
The priest planned to find an opportunity to quietly go in and check when the village chief opened the door.
I can only give up for the time being. As expected, the main quests in the advanced quest world are not that easy to complete.
This task should not be as simple as just knowing the owner of the hair, it will definitely allow him to explore deeper.
And the villagers in this village are not allowed to go out at night. Someone seemed to have had an accident last night.
The priest heard that the village chief had seen other villagers. The priest stood at the second floor window and looked down but there was no one there.
I could vaguely see a crowd of people gathering next to the old house in the distance. Because the view was blocked by several houses, I could only see the tops of people's heads.
"Village chief, you are here, come and see what we should do!"
A wrinkled old woman cried, knelt down in front of the village chief, pulled his trouser legs and cried.
The other villagers did not stop the old woman, with a look of fear on their faces.
"Who is going in!"
The old man's voice was very angry and full of momentum, not at all like how he had grown old in front of the priest just now.
