Chapter 210 Village Chronicles
As Leon searched for clues in the room, he always felt that something was wrong, but he didn't know what it was.
There was a crooked photo on the wall next to the table where his and Elliot's equipment lay.
He felt it was a bit strange and just reached out to touch it, and the photo fell down: there was a lever hidden behind the wall!
After pulling the lever, the mechanism on the ceiling in the corner started to work, and a ladder quickly descended.
"Oh~ Looks like I found a secret passage!"
Elliot rummaged through the desk drawer and found a key with a bug-shaped "Ж" symbol on it.
Although I don't know which door this key opens, it's always a good idea to have it with me.
The two turned their heads at the same time, wanting to share the clues they had found; but they saw Yang Ren and Claire standing together, looking at an oil painting on the wall.
As soon as he saw the one in the portrait, Leon immediately remembered that this seemed to be the purple-robed man he had seen in his "dream"? !
It cannot be said to be exactly the same, but it is very similar.
“Who is this…?”
"——Osmud Shadile, the Grand Commander of the Church of Light."
"——Commander! We respect your teeth!"
While crying, Yang Ren took out an egg from the cloth bag behind his waist, threw it and hit the head of the person in the portrait, and the yolk and egg white were all over its face.
When Yang Ren arrived at the "secret passage" found by Lyon, he looked up.
This secret passage is located next to the bed in the bedroom, in front of the wardrobe. It should be more than three meters high, and there may be an attic or other area above it.
"Come on, Xiao Ke~"
After greeting Claire, Yang Ren stood in front of the wardrobe, folded his hands with his palms facing up, and bent slightly.
"Here I go~!" She stepped on Yang Ren's hand and jumped lightly, grabbed the middle and bottom edges of the ladder, climbed up easily with the help of her core strength, then turned back and put the ladder down.
Such tacit understanding made Leon and Elliot couldn't help but praise: "Wow, good cooperation!"
The three of them went up to the attic one by one and turned on the flashlights.
There were also many "Ж"-shaped pendants, the symbol of the Church of Light, hanging on the walls; before he had taken a few steps, Yang Ren saw a yellow herb.
Similar to the previous green, red and purple herbs, this yellow herb should also have some unknown miraculous effect, but it may be a specialty of the Wolf Valley Mountains?
Note this location and send it to Yak. The quick reaction force will bring back the herb later.
"Yang... come and look at this."
Following Claire's voice, I saw that she had found the same parchment book as the one downstairs, and an old black-and-white photo.

The men cheered as the oil-burning boat sped across the water.
This oil is amazing, with it we will definitely be able to catch fish more easily than ever before!
Although the steel plant was just completed last year, it has been completely integrated into the village. Our sickles have never been so shiny!
We traded for two fish that will eat almost anything and reproduce at an alarming rate; the fish farm we opened in the swamp is also going well.
During the day, I taught the children literacy and arithmetic; at night, I would have meals with each household in our self-built house, listening to their complaints and gossip about the village.
Since I opened the village to the outside world, we have prospered, the villagers have become happier, and they even started to smile.
A group of strangers in black robes came to the village. They came from the castle and held an ominous flag with a spider-like micro-mark on it.
After a sermon about redemption and forgiveness, they injected us with something they said would cure our madness. Could they be trusted?

The old photo showed an old man with a big goatee, and judging by his clothes, he looked like a godfather.
Turning it over, there are a few lines of small words written in Spanish on the back of the photo:
[Photo of my father]
[Please protect this village for me. May your photos always be accompanied by smiling faces.]
"What is this oil...diesel, or petroleum?"
"——Oil? Where!"
Elliot, who was triggered by the key words, came over immediately, but he soon realized his gaffe.
"Sorry, I was stressed."
After walking a few steps forward, the three found another old photo on the cupboard.
The photo seems to show some villagers using mine carts to pull out carts of ore from the mine. The note on the back also confirms this:
[The long-awaited steel plant, 1992.]
Elliot only took a glance and recognized that this was the factory where he and Leon had met the merchant after waking up after being knocked unconscious by the old man.
"Wait...where's Leon?"
After Claire said this, Yang Ren and Elliot turned around and found that Leon was gone.
But soon, the three found him in the small room next door.
He also found a parchment book here, and checked it alone with a flashlight:

"Village Chronicles Volume 1"
Today, the old man entrusted the village to me. He said I could learn while working, and I planned to start by recording the situation in the village.
Although there are still many words I can't write, he has always encouraged me and I will definitely not let him down.
There lived a little boy in a small house by the lake. When he was born, his mother was called to heaven. So he lived with his grandfather.
Although his grandfather is not talkative, the child is very smart and energetic. He told me the story of the knight on the donkey again today.
The little boy's grandfather was sick and his condition was getting worse day by day. The little boy was very worried about him, and some villagers privately said that he was "crazy".
When I was about to leave his house, the child's grandfather pulled me over and said, "If anything happens to me, I'm counting on you."
I could only nod.
It was a terrible night. Everyone gathered around the hut and watched it burn to ashes.
The boy watched in silence, not moving even when dawn broke.
The next day, the little boy disappeared.

On the table next to them was a huge old-fashioned camera and a photo: it was exactly the same photo of "grandson and grandfather" that Leon and Elliot had seen in the lakeside cabin before.
[The Navarro family, 1981.]
After piecing together the contents of the three volumes of "Village Chronicles", the four of them had a general idea of what had happened in the village:
The village was very poor in the early years. It was not until the village was opened to the outside world and a steel plant and fish farm were built that the village's economy began to improve.
It was only later that the "Church of Light" appeared. They came from the "castle" near the village and brought the Plaka parasites that brought misfortune under the pretext of "curing some unknown madness", which turned the village into what it is today.
So, the person who recorded these things should be someone like the village chief.

Just at this moment, Leon and Elliot's earphones rang: it was a message from Hannigan.
(Chapter 19,71, was modified, involving changes to the plot setting: Leon no longer knows that the protagonist is Virus Superman)
