Walking in the wind and sand is completely unable to feel the passage of time and the orientation of space, so it is impossible to judge the progress of the task, and there is only a sense of trance for the future.
"If we can't find that prophet Arasi, will we not be able to get out?" Witt finally couldn't help complaining to Ayatsuji who was walking in front of him after walking for an unknown amount of time.
"I don't know either." Ayatsuji honestly said his feelings, "For this game, I don't know where to go, so I leave everything to fate."
While speaking, Witt suddenly felt that the distant view at three o'clock seemed to have ups and downs, as if the scenery was hidden between the wind and sand, and his nerves that were about to be exhausted immediately cheered up again. He patted Ayatsuji's shoulder, pointed to the direction he noticed, and said to her: "Look, there is something over there, let's go and have a look."
It is naturally good to find different breakthroughs in the chaos, Ayatsuji turned to the other side without hesitation, and the two quickened their pace and started running.

When the scene in front of me gradually became clear, most of the surrounding wind and sand gradually dissipated, revealing a barren village built of sand and stone. The entire village is composed of sandstone yellow tiles and black gray tiles. The houses are dilapidated and empty, and there seems to be no trace of people.
Witt and Ayatsuji wandered around the village for a few steps, and finally walked into the first house at the entrance of the village with a tacit understanding.
The furnishings in the house are very primitive, with adobe kang stone tables and stools, and a package of earthen pottery bottles and jars, which have a strong aboriginal atmosphere, but the eye totems that can be seen everywhere in the house are spread all over the bottles, walls, beams, columns and roofs. corner, attracting the attention of both of them.
Witt picked up a clay pot engraved with an eye totem and commented: "This pattern is the symbol of this village, right? It really looks like a symbol of a cult organization..."
"I think it's either the symbol of this village or the symbol of a certain family. The house is fairly complete, and it seems that it was inhabited earlier." Ayatsuji replied thoughtfully.
"Is it because we are in an illusion, so we can't see people? Maybe there are people in the place where this scene really exists."
"It's illogical. If we can't see the people who should be there in the illusion, how can we see the prophet Arasi?"
Witt felt that what Ayatsuji said was reasonable, but since it was an illusion, naturally everything was possible, so he was noncommittal.

The two searched around the house without finding anything, so they went out and started searching for other houses, and looked at them one by one, but the furnishings in each house were similar, and no living organisms were found.
After searching around, the two came to the house in the middle of the village. Looking at the utensils on the stove, Witt felt a little hungry, so he sat down at the table in the corner and took out the hazelnut bread in his backpack. , gnawed up.
At this time, Ayatsuji didn't relax at all, stood by the window and looked out, murmured: "It turns out that there is also day and night here."
"What?" Witt looked at her suspiciously.
Ayatsuji emphasized his tone and repeated: "I just discovered that this world also has day and night, and now it's already dark."
Witt heard the sound and walked to the window, beside her, looked out, and saw that the sky covered by the hazy wind and sand really had a sense of dull blackness, which was indeed different from the distant scene earlier, except that the ground in the village There is a piece of yellow sand, which seems to be a little bright, allowing people to see the surrounding scene clearly at any time, so walking in the village will not feel the switch between day and night.
Once he felt the coming of night, a feeling of coldness penetrated his whole body, and the whole village seemed even more desolate.
"It seems that there are no clues here, should we change another place, or search again?" Witt turned to ask Ayatsuji's opinion.
"I think we should rest here until the day and continue the task." Ayatsuji's eyes were still looking out of the window, "This village has all the equipment in the house but there is no one in it. I always have some bad premonitions..."
"Since it feels dangerous, why do we stay here?" Witt couldn't help but get goosebumps when she said this.
"We stayed here because we knew there was danger." Ayatsuji paused and said softly, "Perhaps this premonition of danger has something to do with the prophet Arasi we are looking for."
