Chapter 2436 Strange Attitude

"What do you call a weirdo?" the girl with the big braid asked strangely.

Xu Huo didn't really want to get an answer from them, but the whole matter lacked authenticity.

According to the local people and the information found in the dimension, the "hidden friends" have existed for a long time. Perhaps because of the mutated plants, people who entered the safe zone abandoned the undeveloped area and ignored it. No question, what about the ordinary people who have lived here for a long time?

They are afraid of "hidden friends", but they don't seem to be so afraid.

The story of "Hidden Friends" sounds like there are few details, and even the subsequent experiences of those who disappeared are not mentioned as much as possible, which minimizes the horror of this strange story, but in fact it is very interesting to ordinary people. It is an uncontrollable horror story. Just imagine that there is something hiding in the place where you live that may take you away at any time, and you don’t know what will happen to you after it is taken away. How could it not be scary?

But in fact, the people here are quite laissez-faire. They don't even gather together to defend the "hidden friends". According to these people, as long as someone blocks and interrupts, the "hidden friends" cannot It is only normal for people to live together after taking away "friends" smoothly and seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages.

As for the invisible existence of ghosts, people will extend countless imaginations under fear. If the "hidden friends" are gentle enough and do not take away the living people in the village every time, then as time goes by, people may Develop positive feedback, such as He imagines some kind of symbol, which is possible to pursue, offer sacrifices to or even worship. After all, this forest is much more stable than other undeveloped areas due to the presence of mutated plants, and only here can there be "hidden friends". It is difficult not to regard the two as cause and effect.

But if you are afraid, jealous, or even forced to stay here because you have nowhere to go, then the "hidden friend" will most likely be demonized, and the story of it taking away a living person will most likely be It has been extended to many versions. Under the Dimension, there was one about "Hidden Friends" when it first appeared. There are many imaginations about this. Not only that, the people living here, in order to protect their families and future generations to the greatest extent, will definitely pass this story from generation to generation, and explain the seriousness. How could things like these young girls happen? Situation—their fears and fears were actually mixed with a little yearning.

Would anyone who has actually experienced the "Hidden Friend" incident indulge this idea?

It has not become a kind of sustenance, nor has it been demonized. Even "hidden friends" are referred to as "weirdos" with less negative emotional connotations... This inevitably gives people a sense of local residents and "hidden friends" "The illusion of peaceful coexistence.

After dungeon players enter here, they need to play the role of a "hidden friend". So does this "hidden friend" exist or not?

"We're here." The group of people walked slowly to a house with a garland on the wall in the middle of the village. The girl with big braids said, "That's Grandpa He's home. If you want to stay, go find him."

Xu Huo said goodbye to them and headed over there with the painting girl.

This village is much larger than the previous one, and there are more young and middle-aged people. Unlike Granny Yi, who appeared quietly this time, after they appeared this time, many people in the village came out and followed them not far or near.

The door of the wreath house opened, and a man who looked to be in his fifties or sixties walked out, "Where are you from?"

Xu Huo repeated what he said before. Grandpa He nodded and said kindly: "I will take you there. Although those two houses have been empty for a long time, they have been cleaned and there are ready-made furniture. You can live in them directly."

As he nodded, the young and middle-aged people around him also dispersed and went home. However, unlike Grandma Yi's daily closed doors, most people here normally open their doors for activities during the day and are open to outsiders. They were even more curious, and a few children even chased them to see them.

The painted girl was like a child giving away all the candies and snacks in her bag, so she was followed by a string of children who presented flowers or beautiful stones to her.

They came to the other end of the village. There were two empty houses near the edge of the village. Grandpa He opened one of them and said, "This is it. There is nothing missing. If you want to eat, please tell me in advance and I will have someone prepare it together." "

Xu Huo thanked him and prepared to take the money. "It's useless for us to ask for so much money. If you have food from outside, you can give me some." Grandpa He said with a smile: "Many people in the village have never eaten food from outside. Let them try it."

Xu Huo gave him some canned meat jerky and dehydrated vegetables, as well as some sugar and seasonings to replenish his strength.

"This is too much." Grandpa He thanked him and asked the children who were surrounding the painting girl to tell the adults at home to make a big pot of rice tonight.

The children ran away quickly, and Xu Huo chatted with Grandpa He for a few more words. During this period, he mentioned Granny Yi, and the old man even asked her carefully about her current situation.

"Grandma Yi also lived here before?" Xu Huo asked.

"It's been many years since we moved away." Grandpa He waved his hand, "It's all old stuff, so I won't talk about it anymore. You guys take a rest first and wait for dinner."

The old man left. Xu Huo put down his backpack and checked the things in the house. Many things in the house were newly replaced, but there were still some man-made traces on them. It looked like they were not made by ordinary knives. Many players have stayed here.

The painting girl had already found a bowl to put the flowers given by the children. She lay on the table, looked left and right, nodded with satisfaction, and told Xu Huo that she would go next door to get some water to keep the flowers.

"I'll go with you." Xu Huo stood up and said.

There were several families living around the empty house, but their attitudes towards outsiders were not so friendly. They even visited two families, but the owner told them there was no water without opening the door.

"Otherwise we can fight it ourselves." Xu Huo said, "Didn't you see a small stream when you came here just now?"

At this time, a house a little further away opened the door, and a young and energetic man came out, carrying a bucket full of water. He said enthusiastically: "You can use these first. There is a big vat in the yard of that house. Once it’s clean, I’ll bring you some buckets of water back.”

Xu Huo thanked him politely and said that he could go get water by himself and just ask him to point in the direction.

"It's easy for outsiders to get lost. I'll take you there." The man said enthusiastically and generously, and asked his neighbor to borrow two buckets.
