Why is my time traveling to the second dimension such a weird rule story?

There has been no discovery of Kaguya Shinomiya's location so far. Considering that the village is still very large even if it is bombed into ruins, and the smoke and flames affect the vision, it is not certain how long it will take for Miko and Hayasaka to find the missing teammate. As for Goto Ichiri, who doesn't even know where he is, although Miko and Hayasaka also plan to look for him, they haven't found him yet.

{Senior, I have reunited with Hayasaka. She found two other [Records of Suppressing Ghosts], all of which are buried in the house. One of the papers says [Records of the Strange Village Investigation Part 3: Night Watchman], and the other says [Records of the Initial Investigation of the Strange Village]. The latter is incomplete and seems to contain only about one-third of the content}

{According to Hayasaka, these records are buried under the bed in the bedroom. She also found a small altar in a very hidden place in one of the houses, on which is a bamboo stick with the words [Jiang] written on it. She suspected that the reason why these papers were torn up and buried under the bed might be due to some kind of worship and belief, or fear and disgust.

{We haven't found Shinomiya yet, but there are no moving monsters around, and there is no abnormality in my perception. Senior, do you need me to relay the information that Hayasaka saw now? }

In the mental link, Jianzi was reporting the situation very carefully.

And not long after, Gao Hai's reply came.

{Don't do it for now. The most important thing for you now is to ensure your own safety and find your teammates. Remember the two pages of records first, and tell me when the situation is safer. I have something to deal with here and can't be distracted.}

Gao Hai, who replied to Jianzi in a calm tone, had completely stood up at this time, and looked around like most of the players, seemingly ignorant, looking for the "suspect" who created this turmoil.

The crying was getting louder.

All the villagers who were still alive were in great grief, and they kept shouting and shouting.

Gao Hai, who had already begun to consider whether to take the opportunity to escape, had already seen the black masses of villagers gathering from the surrounding roads.

Their number was greater than Gao Hai had expected.

Chapter 13: Unusual villagers and another investigation record

The gradually stronger aura of strange creatures could be felt.

Completely different from the villagers who seemed to be just ordinary humans just now, these new villagers who gathered from all directions clearly carried the cold and dark aura that only strange creatures had. Even though they had not come over yet and were still far away from the players, the ominous feeling was already so strong that it made people feel cold all over.

The players had already quieted down.

Originally, after the violent shock wave, many players began to stir, thinking about whether to take this opportunity to escape from the square, or try to run to the front of those villagers to touch the corpses to see if there was anything useful. But now, after seeing these villagers who suddenly appeared and looked very difficult to mess with, everyone stopped, and few dared to try to make trouble.

However, the three people on Gao Hai's side did not make any moves from beginning to end. After all, they had carefully investigated from the beginning. It was unlikely that there would be any valuable clues on these villagers who were like living people. On the contrary, the more they interacted with these villagers, the more likely they would cause some unknown trouble. Therefore, after the shock wave ended, Gao Hai himself not only did not try to contact these dead and injured villagers, but instead took advantage of the chaos to quietly release two summoners.

One of them was Lao Guo. The reason for summoning him was very simple. Gao Hai wanted to use this rescue team member to try to enter a villager's house and carefully judge whether the players who had entered the house before were dead or teleported to somewhere else.

From the results of perception, those players should have been teleported. Well... and then followed Lao Guo to die. The specific way of death was not clearly perceived. The rescue team member seemed to be killed immediately after the teleportation. So Gao Hai could not feel anything clear from Lao Guo.

If I must say... well, this feeling seems a bit smelly? Tsk, there was no effective feedback from vision and hearing. This time, the rescuer died too quickly. Gao Hai could only barely confirm that the rescuer seemed to smell something very bad. Well, that smell is hard to describe. It is a bit similar to the smell of a corpse, but it seems to be mixed with something else. Gao Hai couldn't tell what it was. He could only confirm that it smelled disgusting.

As for the other rescuer released by Gao Hai, it was the [Teacher].

This non-human thing with a black suit, head, arms and other exposed parts showing a black illusory smoke shape, without any gender characteristics, has entered the [Nullification] state at this time and left the square to go to other areas.

As a new member of the rescue team, and the second Red Moon-level rescuer, Gao Hai naturally could not use this teacher in the same way as Lao Guo. And because of the special power of nothingness, the teacher is more inclined to the positioning of investigators and surveillance personnel. Therefore, Gao Hai just let the teacher move inside the village, constantly wandering around, trying to build the internal topographic map of the entire village, and find those houses that look problematic and record them.

At this moment, the rescue team member has moved to an area more than one thousand meters away from Gao Hai. The size of this village is larger and more complicated than Gao Hai expected. The internal structure is like a maze, which makes Gao Hai think of places such as [Sick Village] and [Undead Village]. I don’t know how the villagers who built this village came up with this terrain.

"..."

The shabby little square was already silent at this time.

The injured villagers stopped wailing at some point, but just continued to lie on the ground in silence, as if they could no longer feel the injuries on their bodies.

The approaching villagers were also silent, and Gao Hai could hardly hear their footsteps. It was as if these people did not walk over, but floated over.

Soon, Gao Hai's eyes were fixed on the man in the front of the villagers. It was a man who looked similar to Li Ziyong, but was slightly shorter. This man's eyes and momentum were obviously much more fierce than that of the clan leader Li Ziyong. Gao Hai felt like a murderer who had just escaped from prison, and the strong aura of strange things was emanating from this man, but... this feeling seemed more like the aura of some kind of obsession?

Thinking of this, Gao Hai looked at the man several times, and finally noticed the thin rope hanging around his neck.

This man was wearing some kind of pendant, but it was unknown what kind of pendant it was, because it was blocked by clothes and did not show. But the obsession this man carried was most likely that pendant.

Do you want to give it a try?

Gao Hai thought about calling back the [Teacher] and letting it take some of his blood, and then approaching the man through nothingness and sprinkling the blood on him.

No, let's play it safe for now. The previous explosion was eye-catching enough, and now is not the time to mess around.

After hesitating for a while, Gao Hai gave up the idea of ​​taking risks. If he was alone here at this moment, he might really take a risk, but now Zhenfei and Qianhua are also here, so Gao Hai is more inclined to a safe action strategy unless it is necessary, unless he encounters a special situation like Jianzi who is directly approached by a strange creature.

{Hai Jun, these villagers don't seem to be the same kind of people as before. Moreover, these new villagers seem to be all male, and no females are seen}

At the same time that Gao Hai was thinking, Zhenfei was also silently observing these villagers and quickly noticed a detail.

{It seems that everyone is here with bad intentions, Ah Hai, I suspect that these new villagers are very problematic}

Qianhua also said solemnly in the mental link.

{I know, these guys are just short of writing the word "problem" on their faces. But don't worry, if something really happens, I will use the bloody field and Alice's room to deal with it. Now, let's observe what they want to do.}

Gao Hai spoke casually in the mental link, but his face was focused, and he was carefully observing the villagers appearing in all directions.

In silence, a large number of villagers finally poured into the square. There was no communication, no friendly smiles, these expressionless villagers just stepped into the ceremony site, then carried away the corpses and wounded of the villagers on the ground, took away the scattered tattered things, and cleaned up various traces on the square.

The man who seemed to have some kind of obsession walked to the collapsed platform, found a higher place and stood on it, looking at the players around him with a cold face.

Gao Hai slowly frowned.

That kind of look made him feel familiar.

A familiar, disgusting, physically uncomfortable look.

Ah, it can't be wrong.

Gao Hai was sure that he had seen such eyes in many places.

Whether it was Lao Guo, the Nvmian Gang, those fanatics, or those trash in Takamagahara, they all showed the same eyes.

In the eyes of this man who looked very similar to the village chief Li Ziyong, these players, including Gao Hai, were not human beings, not his kind, but something that could be used at will and destroyed and torn apart at will.

This was a completely alienated look, a look that only those who no longer regarded themselves as human beings, but thought they were more advanced and great, would have. No matter what their actual strength was, at least in terms of attitude, their own life concepts and values, such people could no longer be regarded as normal humans.

Something was wrong, and it might be bad.

Gao Hai, who realized this, was almost immediately alert and immediately prepared for another big bomb.

But a little unexpectedly, the man looked at the players present with a cold face, and then he squeezed out a smile on his face.

"I'm very sorry, guests."

The man spoke politely and looked very normal.

"The Mountain God Welcoming Event was supposed to be a festive day, but now it's in such a mess. This is our fault. I apologize to everyone here."

As he spoke, the man lowered his head and bowed sincerely to apologize.

"My name is Li Duosun. I am the younger brother of the clan leader Li Ziyong. The clan leader is injured and cannot continue to host the event for the time being, so this welcoming event ends here. Everyone should go back to the villagers' homes where they are staying. We will hold another celebration in the evening."

After the man named Li Duosun said this, several expressionless villagers around walked up to the three people on Gao Hai's side and signaled Gao Hai and others to leave with their eyes.

New villagers also appeared beside the other players at this time. Basically, every player would be watched by at least two villagers. Some teams of players with more than four or five people would be surrounded by more than ten villagers, maintaining an absolute advantage in numbers.

Did they just drive people away without even explaining and then continuing to play music and dance?

The aura of the strange creatures began to spread among these villagers, but at this distance, Gao Hai could already clearly feel many things. For example, these new villagers were still human beings, and each of them still had a strong human aura. For example, the aura of the strange creatures on them did not seem to be connected to themselves, but more like some kind of items that were carried on their bodies and were playing a role.

Gao Hai and Zhen Fei Qian Hua beside him looked at each other, and then followed these expressionless villagers obediently and left the small square that was still filled with a little blood.

And through the perspective of the [Teacher] who was still in the small square at this time, Gao Hai could see that the statue of the mountain god of Xiao Heishan covered with cloth had been lifted up again and moved towards the road on one side of the square.

The village chief Li Ziyong was also dug out from under the broken wooden boards, with a big hole on his head, and he looked dead. The man named Li Duosun didn't say anything nonsense, just waved his hand and asked a few villagers to carry his eldest brother away, and carried him to an unknown place with other dead and injured villagers.

Should we try to get the [teacher] to follow them and see how these people deal with the bodies?

Or should we try to contact other player teams first, try to interact with the rescue team members, and understand each other's situation?

Gao Hai, who was walking silently on the dirt road of the village, thought for a while and decided to follow the whereabouts of these bodies first to see what these guys were going to do.

While thinking, Jianzi's voice came from the mental link.

After she successfully reunited with Hayasaka, she has not yet found Kaguya's location. As they gradually moved away from the center of the explosion, the ruins around them began to increase, the integrity of the buildings gradually increased, and the difficulty of the search and investigation also began to increase.

During this process, Jianzi paid attention to the surrounding situation and searched for Kaguya's traces, while passing on some information and intelligence obtained by Hayasaka's investigation.

[Record of the Strange Village Investigation 3: Night Watchman]

Like the page found by Jianzi, this page was also covered with dried black blood. If it were not for the power of the new blessing to restore the text, it is estimated that Hayasaka would not be able to recognize anything valuable from it.

[Record No. 1]

[The so-called night watchman is a night watchman who patrols and reports the time at night. It is a common profession in villages and towns]

[But this strange village claims that there is no night watchman in the village. This is really strange and there must be hidden dangers]

[The paper figures and statues inspected in the early stage can be confirmed to have extraordinary power, so this non-existent night watchman may also have some special features. I decided to make it my third investigation target and observe it for a period of time]

[I need to try to contact the other party, whether it is dangerous or safe, it is necessary to confirm who this night watchman is]

[Record the second]

[I heard the voice of the night watchman at night]

[But when I walked out of the house and came to the street, I couldn't find the night watchman]

[There was no one on the street. Except for me, there was nothing else that could move]

[But a strong chill was spreading on the street. The moon seemed to be brighter than before. There was no one around, but I had an inexplicable illusion that the surroundings were quite lively]

[I felt more and more strongly that something was peeping at me in a dark corner, but no matter how I tried, that thing just didn't appear]

[It was so cunning, just like a beast ready to go]

[Or should I say, that thing was like some kind of cunning and suspicious animal? ]

[Record No. 3]

[All attempts failed. I couldn't find the night watchman. It seemed to be just a voice, a piece of words that would appear in the night of the strange village, and it had no entity.]

[The villagers' rejection and disgust towards me and my men were gradually increasing. Swords and shields seemed to no longer scare them.]

[Every day, people threw stones at me. These villagers seemed to want to drive me away, but they were afraid to really do it. What were they afraid of?]

[Record No. 4]

[I met the night watchman today...]

Chapter 14: The Night Watchman's Record and the Sudden Crisis

The Night Watchman.

This person, who Gao Hai and Jian Zi had had a side contact with during the encounter when the dungeon invaded the real world long before they officially entered the dungeon, can be confirmed to have a special status in this dungeon.

The patriarch of Lijia Village claimed that the night watchman did not exist, saying that the night watchman was the result of villagers impersonating and playing a prank. Liujia Village currently has no reference rule sheet, so the situation is unclear and there is no way to make an accurate judgment. But Jian Zi himself met the night watchman in Liujia Village, and with his own extraordinary perception, he confirmed that he must not have direct contact with the other party, which can already explain a lot of problems.

Unexpectedly, Hayasaka found the information document related to the night watchman so quickly, which was really a pleasant surprise.

Gao Hai's expression did not change, but he listened attentively to Jian Zi's story through the mental connection.

[Record]

[I met the night watchman today]

[I can't leave too many records about him. What he carries... is very scary. Just the written record can cause great harm to the reader]

[But I can say for sure that this night watchman is the same as our ghost suppressor, who suppresses evil ghosts with his own power. This strange village has so many ghosts hidden in it, but it can still operate normally until now. It would be impossible without the sacrifice of this night watchman]

[But did he sacrifice himself voluntarily, or was he put on the stove by these ignorant villagers? I have no way to judge. The night watchman has become a completely inhuman thing now, and it is too dangerous to contact him. If I didn't know some ghost suppressors and knew the coping strategies, I think I would not have survived after meeting this night watchman]

[In short, the problems of this strange village are getting more and more now]

[It is obviously such an inconspicuous wilderness village, how can there be so many ghosts? And why can these living people survive peacefully until now? ]

[I have to stay here to investigate]

[The problems we have found now are not easy to solve. I thought it might just be a small-scale spread of the power of the strange things, but now it seems that the problems hidden in this strange village are more serious than I expected. The current manpower is seriously insufficient. We must notify others to come as soon as possible and increase manpower as much as possible]

[As for the night watchman, we can't contact him now. It's too dangerous. We must avoid him]

[Fortunately, the night watchman only appears at night and only appears on the roads inside the village. He will not enter any resident's house. Therefore, as long as he is not blocked on the street in the middle of the night, you can successfully avoid him]

[Don't communicate with him, don't get close to him, don't let him get close to you]

[He is still a night watchman now, but he is no longer just a night watchman]

[The ghost-suppressing person Jiang ■■]

As for the documents about the night watchman, the unknown Jiang did not make any positive description, which clearly stated that the information carrying the intelligence of that thing is seriously polluting. Gao Hai estimated that if Jianzi had really tried to contact the night watchman when she heard his voice, she would have returned to the Blood City and started lying dead waiting for the next round.

Whether to sacrifice voluntarily... Did the night watchman carry some kind of cursed power, or was there some kind of weird thing parasitizing him?
