The strange villagers are similarly affected by the Lightless Night. In the dim evening, lights appear behind the windows of the houses, and the bonfire at the center of the village is being lit.
Rustle...
A stack of paper is slipped under the door, Lu Li walks over to pick it up and unfold it. Strange elongated writing is on it, just like the villagers' necks.
[Hello outsider... My name is Jones Tris. It's been a long time since anyone from outside has come here. I long for the outside. The village chief says outsiders are all very timid and tells us not to interact with you, but I'm very curious... I wonder if I could talk to you?]
A slender neck silhouette faintly appears behind the curtains.
Lu Li places the paper on the table, gets up, and unbolts the door, pulling it open.
A shy head pokes inside the door, pulling the girl's body into the house.
Gently closing the door, the girl's head hangs down, parallel to Lu Li: "Hello, outsider."
"Hello."
