As soon as he wakes up, he observes his surroundings.
He is still on the boulder.
And, it was still about the same time last night.
This means that his clone has found the village again.
He Zhou's clone thought so and slowly started from the boulder.
After looking in the direction of the village, he immediately felt at ease.
There are lights at that location, indicating the existence of a village.
In this case, there is no need to think too much and get down quickly.
Of course, before leaving, the He Zhou clone first read the note in his arms.
There was only one line of text recorded on the note, and no black shadow was seen at night.
"I didn't see any black shadow. In other words, the village that appeared today was not a replica?"
He Zhou's clone nodded secretly.
If the village that appeared today was not copied, which village would it be?
Second or third?
Or even, the first one?
The Hezhou clone has no answer to this question. You can only find out by visiting the village.
He left a mark in the second village. As long as he goes in and checks, he will know whether it is the second village.
In this way, one answer can be eliminated quickly, and the only thing left is to confirm whether it is the first village or the third village.
There are some questions here that need to be looked at carefully.
The replica of He Zhou jumped off the boulder and made it all the way to the foot of the mountain.
Getting on the off-road vehicle, he stepped on the accelerator and drove towards the village.
The off-road vehicle soon arrived outside the village.
The villages look the same from the outside, the three villages all look exactly the same.
Only after entering and interacting with the people in the village can you know whether it is a second village or not.
The Hezhou clone quickly walked into the village.
The village was very quiet, everyone seemed to be sleeping.
Obviously, the sacrificial activities like the previous two days have ended.
Now everyone in the village gets up early and goes to bed early as usual, and no one is active in the middle of the night.
The Hezhou clone came all the way to the door of the village chief's residence.
After checking along the way, he was able to confirm that this was not a second village.
But whether it was the first village or the third village, he had no way of knowing.
Because he left no mark in either village.
The first village didn't leave any marks because they didn't know the situation at the time and had no idea of leaving any marks.
As for the third village, the one we entered last night, it was because something was very wrong.
He didn't know whether he was hallucinated by hallucinogens or whether his mind was affected by the mysterious sculpture. There was something wrong with everything he saw.
Since there was a problem, he naturally didn't think of leaving a mark.
There may be no point in leaving a mark after all.
The copy of He Zhou stood at the door of the village chief.
Immediately afterwards, he knocked on the door.
There was no response from inside, so He Zhou's clone opened the door directly and entered.
The room was quiet, there was no sound.
The Hezhou clone didn't know if the village chief was here.
In short, he has to go in and take a look first to find out.
The He Zhou clone walked all the way inside and came to the house.
He did not call the village chief's name, but went directly upstairs to the second floor.
It was also quiet on the second floor, with no sound at all.
He Zhou's clone checked several bedrooms but could not find the village chief.
The village chief's family was not found either.
Then he returned to the first floor and came to the place where he saw the village chief last night.
He wanted to see the painting that the village chief prayed to yesterday.
The painting is still there, hanging on the wall.
But after the Hezhou clone took a closer look, it felt something was wrong.
This painting is different from the one I saw yesterday.
The painting he saw yesterday was full of all kinds of strange color patches.
But the painting in front of him now was very clean.
The content painted on the screen is very normal, just an ordinary landscape painting.
Nothing weird at all.
He Zhou's clone thought that all this might be related to the hallucination he fell into yesterday.
It seems that something went wrong yesterday.
Thinking of this, he withdrew his gaze and came outside the house.
The most urgent task is to find the village chief quickly.
He Zhou's clone knew clearly that what he had to do now was to find the village chief quickly, and then ask the village chief about something.
This way you can have a better judgment in your mind.
At this time, the village was still quiet.
There are no villagers activities and not many lights can be seen.
After He Zhou's clone glanced around, he walked directly towards the center of the square.
He was going there to see the situation.
After all, when he left yesterday, everyone in the square behaved very strangely.
None of them look like normal people.
The Hezhou clone quickly arrived at the central square of the village.
To his disappointment, the place was empty, with no one around.
"What's going on?"
He Zhou's clone touched his chin.
This place has completely lost the lively scene it had yesterday.
Not only was the cage gone, but no one was there.
Of course, the various arrangements here last night were naturally missing.
But this is all normal.
What really surprised the Hezhou clone was that it seemed like no activities had ever been held here.
The ground was clean and there were no traces around.
You know, this was not the case here yesterday.
He Zhou's clone knew very well that when he came here yesterday, everything here was very dirty.
There are strange furnishings everywhere.
In addition to the cage, there were also various strange sacrificial props that he couldn't name.
But now, there is no trace of it.
It's as if nothing happened here.
The Hezhou clone felt that everything was very wrong.
Of course, he wasn't very interested in what this place was like.
What he is most concerned about now is the whereabouts of the village chief.
Where did the village chief go?
This is a serious problem.
The Hezhou clone wanted to find the whereabouts of the village chief and wanted to know where he was.
After all, many questions can only be answered by asking the village chief.
After He Zhou's clone searched for a while, he slowly turned his head and looked at several rooms with lights on.
He was going to visit the homes of these residents.
Perhaps some clues can be found in the homes of these residents.
He Zhou's clone walked straight towards one of the brightly lit houses.
Soon he came to the door.
Outside the house, it was as quiet as the rest of the village.
The only difference is the lighting in the room.
This is different from other places in the village.
He Zhou's clone stepped forward, opened the door, and walked straight inside.
There was no one on the first floor, so he went straight to the second floor.
It's still quiet on the second floor.
But the Hezhou clone felt the human aura.
There was obviously someone in the bedroom.
The He Zhou clone walked forward and soon arrived at a bedroom on the second floor.
Sure enough, as he thought, someone was sleeping here.
It's just that the sleeping person's posture is a bit strange.
He was lying on the bed, his whole face turned to one side, with no expression on his face.
And the most important thing is that his eyes are wide open.
This man actually slept with his eyes open.
He Zhou's clone frowned slightly.
He actually saw such a guy yesterday.
Just at the central square of the village chief.
In the square, everyone looked weird when he left.
Everyone looked at him, but there was no expression on their faces.
He Zhou's clone was confused.
Could it be that everything that happened yesterday was real and not just my hallucination?
Otherwise, how could you see people with the same expression?
He Zhou's clone touched his chin, then stepped forward to try to wake up the sleeping man.
However, the man didn't react at all.
Just wait there quietly to fall asleep.
The eyes were open and refused to be closed, just looking straight into the infinite distance.
It's like a zombie.
He Zhou's clone felt strange in his heart.
What the hell is going on with this guy?
Why does it become like this.
Was it one of those people from yesterday, or someone else?
Hezhou clone is a little confused.
Now he has no idea whether he is hallucinating or not.
Yesterday, I obviously fell into some kind of hallucination, and everything I saw might be an illusion.
But now, he saw a person exactly like yesterday.
This proves that his experiences yesterday may not be hallucinations.
It may be true.
But if it is true, if it is not an illusion, then what he did in the central square of the village, didn't it have some impact on the village?
You know, he directly opened the cage door at that time, causing the people in the village to see the mysterious sculpture in the cage.
The mysterious sculpture exerts a powerful influence on the mind.
The villagers' minds may have been affected after seeing the sculpture.
The appearance of those villagers at that time may have been caused by the influence.
The guy lying on the bed now is probably just like that.
In short, the Hezhou replicator is completely confused about the situation now.
Originally, he was sure that what he saw yesterday was all an illusion.
But now, he is no longer sure.
Not sure if what I saw yesterday was an illusion.
Maybe everything is true, and it was his arrival and his actions that caused changes in the village.
If this is the case, then it may be possible to explain that this village is the third village copied.
And the mysterious sculpture he saw yesterday was indeed the sculpture of the third village.
At that time, the sculpture was holding a triangle in its hand, which was different from the sculptures in the previous two villages.
He Zhou's clone thought so and left the house straight away.
Then he walked towards the center of the village.
He wanted to take another look at the square to see if there were any subtle changes that he hadn't noticed.
The Hezhou clone went straight to the center of the village.
There was still silence in the square.
But the difference from just now is that there is one more person here now.
There is one more figure.
The Hezhou clone took a closer look and saw that it was the village chief.
The village chief stood in front of the platform where the cages were placed yesterday, knelt on the ground and kept kneeling towards the platform.
He Zhou's clone felt strange and strode over.
After arriving at the place, he first took a closer look at the village chief's expression.
The village chief's expression was normal, different from the one he just saw.
However, the village chief was indeed not in the square yesterday and did not see the mysterious sculpture in the cage.
Naturally, my mind was not affected by the mysterious sculpture.
Therefore, nothing can be determined just by looking at the village chief's expression.
Now the Hezhou clone still doesn't know what happened to the village.
At this time, the village chief also noticed the He Zhou clone beside him.
He slowly stood up straight and looked at the He Zhou clone.
"It's ruined, everything is ruined."
The village chief said in an old voice.
It was as if something earth-shattering had happened in the village and he suddenly aged dozens of years.
"What was ruined?"
He Zhou clone asked.
After the village chief was silent for a long time, he said: "Our ancestors have disappeared."
He Zhou's clone looked towards the table.
The village chief was talking about the mysterious sculpture.
Where did the mysterious sculpture go?
When he left yesterday, the mysterious sculpture was stored in the cage and placed on this stand.
But now, it has completely disappeared.
He Zhou's clone thought about it carefully, and it might have something to do with the fact that he didn't close the cage door when he left yesterday.
However, at that time, he had no idea whether what he saw was an illusion, and why he would even think about closing the prison door.
Of course, no matter what, the mysterious sculpture is missing now.
If you want to find it again, it may take some time.
He Zhou's clone turned to look at the village chief.
"Exactly what is going on, please tell me everything clearly."
The village chief remained silent and did not speak.
But finally, he said: "Our ancestors were stolen yesterday."
"Stolen by whom?"
He Zhou's clone immediately asked.
The village chief shook his head and said, "I don't know, I didn't see that person's appearance."
"Who was here at that time?" He Zhou's clone continued to ask.
"Most of the people in our village are here."
The village chief said and looked around.
In his field of vision, there seemed to be many villagers standing in a war.
But the Hezhou clone knew in its heart that all this was not true.
There are no villagers here.
Except for him and the village chief, there was no one here.
Therefore, what the village chief is saying now may be just nonsense.
He Zhou's clone looked at the village chief and asked, "What about those villagers? Where are they now?"
"Many have died of illness," the village chief replied.
He Zhou's clone was stunned and asked: "When did it happen?"
"What happened these days has been going on for many days, and people are dying every day."
The village chief said slowly.
There was sadness in his tone.
He Zhou's clone was silent for a moment.
He quickly realized that there was something wrong here.
And there are big problems.
He had just been to this village yesterday, and the villagers had problems only yesterday.
Why did the village chief say people have been dying during this time?
Could it be that many days have actually passed?
He Zhou's clone thought, according to what the village chief said, many days have passed since he left, and people died every day.
If this is true, then when the village chief mentioned that the mysterious sculpture disappeared yesterday, it was actually not the yesterday he thought it was.
In fact, it was many days later.
What he considered yesterday was many days ago.
Thinking of this, He Zhou's clone slowly glanced around.
If this conclusion is true, then it makes sense that the square is clean.
Because in fact, not only one day has passed, but many days have passed.
