Chapter 191: Closing the Door
While recalling the information on the Persona, Gu Juan slowly stepped into the town, ready to find some residents to learn more about the situation.
Know yourself and know your opponent, and you will not be defeated in a hundred battles.
After all, the time recorded in the Persona was two and a half months ago, and what had happened to him until now, he had to figure it out in advance, otherwise he might miss.
Night soon fell, and the town was shrouded in darkness, with no lights or smoke, and only on the main street was the faint light that finally came through.
Moreover, the rows of shops on the main street of the town are closed, and only a few houses at the end of the road seem to be still open, and there is no trace of popularity.
Gu Juan frowned slightly, and for a while he couldn't figure out whether it was the strange incident that invaded the town, or whether the residents of the town were frightened and fled.
However, in a feudal society where the movement of people was not so easy, and there was no famine and flood, it was almost impossible for the whole town to be uprooted.
So, the people here are dead?
Are those few remaining lights really just a means for them to attract outsiders?
Gu Juan immediately stopped, and his expression, which was originally relaxed and comfortable, became a little solemn.
If the advance information is not accurate, it will kill people.
In Persona, it's named Late Night Strange Incident, and it doesn't happen in this town, it's just a few townspeople returning from a hike and they happen to come across it.
After a series of investigations, the Persona Division finally located the location of the incident near the pine forest in the northwest of the town, which was still far away from the town.
And after a period of observation, they do not rate this event very highly, belonging to the type that does not actively provoke it, let it be quiet and alone, and there will be no danger.
So, is it possible that this little persimmon selected by him has been mutated?
He took out a bronze mirror, straightened his hair at it, and stared at his face for a few breaths before asking, "Do you smell anything?"
The head of the pot lid appeared in the mirror, and the black hole eyes looked at Gu Juan and shook his head quickly.
"Is it really the relocation of the town?"
Gu Juan rubbed the stubble on his chin that had just emerged, and as soon as he lowered his head, he saw the black pot lid again, and couldn't help but sigh a little depressed, "In the future, unless I call you, you won't always show your face, you know?"
"When I look in the mirror and see your pot head, I have been a little delirious for a long time, thinking that I am a pot head, do you know?"
Putting the mirror back into his clothes, he was silent for a moment, then took out a stack of rolled yellow paper from his waist, went to the nearest courtyard, and reached out to push down the door.
The door was locked from the inside, and the bolt was thick and strong, and there was more than one, so that he had to split it three times to open it.
As soon as a very low cry sounded, it fell silent again, and it was supposed to be covered by someone's mouth.
Gu Ju's ears moved, and he strode across the entire courtyard and stood outside the door of the east house.
He reached out and pushed the door, and found that there were several more locks inside, so he switched to a beat, and the sound of a bang could be heard far away in the silence of the night.
"Open the door, or I'll break it again, it's a pity." ”
"Are you ......?" suddenly a trembling voice sounded in the room.
Gu Juan only let the other party say two words, and then directly interrupted, "Don't worry, I'm human." ”
Unexpectedly, there was a sudden mess in the house, men and women, old and young, all of them let out a loud cry of sorrow.
Are all of them ghosts?
And a coward who can be scared to death?
He had to pull out the bronze mirror again, stick it to the door, "Smell it again, what's inside?"
"Yes...... People, living people. ”
"Living?"
Gu Juan nodded thoughtfully, put away the bronze mirror, turned around and left, and climbed over the courtyard wall to the house next door.
Looking at the situation in the yard, it is not like no one has taken care of it for a long time, so this family should be the same as the previous one, they all locked themselves in the house and hid.
Now that it's just getting dark, their behavior must be unreasonable, so what needs to be figured out now is the cause of all this.
This time he was mentally prepared in advance, and when Gu Juan was close to the house, it was easy to hear the sound of suppressed breathing hidden somewhere, so he took a light step, walked over and knocked lightly on the door.
Dangdangdang......
Without any warning, the people inside cried directly.
The sobbing cries sounded horrible as if a psychopathic murderer was standing outside, about to rush in and brutalize them to death.
Click!
Gu Juan didn't plan to go to the next house, so he directly split the door of the house with an axe, and then stepped in.
In an instant, the crying in the room was no longer suppressed, and suddenly changed from sobbing to crying.
"What are you crying about, you can see clearly, I am a person, a person, a person!"
"Okay, okay, don't cry, tell me, what are you afraid of?"
His words were useless, and even after asking a few questions, he made the cry even louder.
Gu Juan was a little irritable, but looking at the woman who was huddled on the bed and hugging the two young children tightly, he really couldn't use violent means to shut them up.
So he shut up, sat down on a bench with a missing leg, took out dry food and ate it slowly with water.
Gradually, the crying quieted down, and two pairs of bright eyes peeked from the bed, and there seemed to be the sound of quietly swallowing saliva.
"Are you hungry or not, do you want to eat?"
Gu Juan raised the bread and jerky in his hand, and then he laughed, and while laughing, he took another big bite, "It's useless to eat if you want to, I won't give it to you." ”
The next moment, the woman who had been keeping her head down also raised her head and glanced at Gu Juan.
The two children in her arms looked to be less than three years old, and they pouted and cried again when they had just calmed down.
Instead of crying because of the infection of their mother's fear, this time they really regained their childlike nature, and when they saw that they could not eat something delicious, they tried to solve the problem by crying.
"It's beef jerky, it's delicious. ”
"Well, this is not an ordinary dough cake, there are eggs in it, tsk, it turns out to be egg scones. ”
Gu Juan began to smack his lips tastelessly, and muttered a sentence after taking a bite, and soon made the scene almost uncontrollable.
At last, the young woman spoke, her voice mingling with loud cries, and she looked so helpless.
"This lord, you, can you ......"
"Can't!"
Gu Juan waved his hand, directly interrupted the woman's voice, and took another bite of the food in his hand, "Hey, the beef jerky is going to be gone soon, and if you can't eat it again, you won't be able to eat it in the future." ”
The next moment, the two children cried even more, and if it weren't for the young woman's tight mouth, the cry would have knocked off the roof.
"Forget it, I'm soft-hearted, and I can't see children being wronged. ”
Gu Juan sighed, tore off a piece of dried meat and handed it over, the young woman hesitated for a long time, but still reached out and took it and put it to the child's mouth.
The next moment, the crying was gone, and only the sound of gobbling and snorting was heard in the room.
