'There are only women in the village.' Lucian thought with a hand on his chin. He was able to consciously see some part of the village while pretending to be brainwashed in Jade's house; he started pretending after hearing Jade's suggestions that he should be killed.
Lucian didn't have much information about where he was, and the only way he could get more information was by making Wisteria take him out of the house again. He was sure that Wisteria and the others in the village weren't human, even though they had human form. There was a lot Lucian needed to find out: why the beast in the village chose to trap humans in their home instead of killing them, and why they had a human civilization. It was an old form of life for Lucian, as though he had been taken back in time, but the clothes his system had to offer him weren't modern; they were all low-quality fabrics that his parents would choose as rags.
