Under the expectant gaze of everyone, the curator continuously identified hundreds of items. As a result, 90% of them were fakes.
"Emotions, this antique shop is a black shop!" Zhang Feng said depressedly: "So many fakes!"
"This is normal. How can there be so many antiques in the world? Most of them are fake."
Zhang Ze counted the real antiques identified by the curator and said to everyone: "The total age of these antiques is about three thousand years, and the time value is more than three thousand."
"But... there are more than a hundred antiques here. Even if all of us have used up our opportunities, it won't be enough for ten thousand." He shook his head helplessly: "This method still doesn't work."
The curator said: "There are many antiques here. I can continue to appraise them and pick out all the valuable ones."
"Well, this is the only way now." Zhang Ze nodded and said, "Then you can continue to stay here, I will send someone to protect you."
Then, he summoned the Elf King and asked him to protect the curator.
Everyone walked out of the antique store. At this time, they heard the sound of bells in the sky. This time they struck ten times, which was ten o'clock.
It was completely dark. There was no one in the town, and naturally there were no lights. It was pitch black all around.
"Let's find a place to rest first. It's too dark to continue looking for clues."
Everyone followed the giant god's advice and looked for a room where they could rest.
The Melancholy of the Sky and the Moonlight Rabbit remembered that they had seen a hotel before, so they took everyone there. There were enough empty rooms for everyone to stay.
When everyone walked into the hotel, Zhang Ze suddenly frowned. He felt that someone was following them behind.
Liu Yueying next to her also felt it. She squeezed Zhang Ze's hand gently and whispered: "There seems to be someone."
"Well, don't make any noise, I'll catch him!"
Zhang Ze deliberately fell behind, then dodged and hid behind the hotel door.
After a while, a man sneaked into the hotel.
This was a middle-aged man. He was very vigilant. He stood at the door and did not come in directly. Instead, he observed the surrounding situation. When he felt that there was no risk, he tiptoed in.
Zhang Ze rushed out in an instant, and the [Blood Dragon] put it on the man's neck and asked in a cold voice: "Who are you? Why are you following us?"
The man was so frightened that he shouted: "Don't kill me, I'm not a bad person!"
"Who are you?" Zhang Ze shouted: "Tell me the truth, otherwise don't blame me for being rude!"
At this time, Ju Shen, Liu Yueying and others also arrived at the scene. Everyone stared at the middle-aged man strangely, and then heard him say: "I, my name is Li Bo, and I am a resident of Time Town. Who are you? I have never I haven’t seen you before, how did you get in?”
Zhang Ze and Liu Yueying looked at each other. He removed the knife and said to Li Bo: "We are travelers passing by here. You said you are a resident here, but we haven't seen a single person here. This is what happened?"
Li Bo looked at the weapons in the hands of Zhang Ze and others with fear, and said: "All the residents here have disappeared, and I am the only one left."
"How did you disappear? Tell me clearly!"
Faced with Zhang Ze's questioning, Li Bo sighed and said: "Originally, our Time Town was an ordinary western town. Although it was not prosperous, the life here was very peaceful and the people were very happy. Until one day, we suddenly discovered that Time Something went wrong."
Having said this, Li Bo looked at everyone and asked, "You should have heard the bell too, right?"
Seeing everyone nodding, he continued: "The bell here will ring every hour, but when the bell rings for the twelfth time, everything in the town will go back to twelve hours ago. .”
"No matter what you have done or experienced during these twelve hours, when the bell rings for the thirteenth time, everything will return to the way it was before."
Zhang Ze and others were very surprised after hearing this. This phenomenon was so weird, it was equivalent to the entire town being trapped for twelve hours, unable to escape or change, and could only continue in an infinite loop.
"We tried many methods, such as leaving the town or removing the big clock that told the time, but these were of no use."
"When the twelve hours are up, we will return to the town again, and the big clock that has been dismantled will still continue to tell time."
Li Bo held his head and said with a painful expression: "Can you understand this feeling? We live twelve hours a day, repeating endlessly..."
Shan Dao Bu Bu frowned and asked, "Since you can cycle infinitely, how did the residents here disappear?"
"There is a monster! It made everyone here disappear!"
Li Bo raised his head, with a look of horror on his face, and said: "This monster appeared after the time in the town changed. It will appear when the twelfth bell rings, and the tenth bell rings." Three times, it goes away.”
"During this hour, monsters capture humans everywhere, and the captured people will disappear, leaving only the clothes they are wearing."
"The police in our town couldn't kill it with their guns. We didn't know what to do with it, so we had to hide when it was out and try not to let it find it."
"However, that monster is getting smarter and smarter. It seems to be able to sense our existence, then find our hiding place and catch us..."
When Li Bo said this, his face turned pale and his whole body was trembling: "My wife, children, relatives and friends were all taken away by it... It will be my turn next!"
Zhang Ze pondered for a moment, walked over and said to Li Bo: "Don't worry, with us here, nothing will happen to you."
"If you want to be with me, you can live in the security room on the first floor. We will live upstairs. If anything happens, just shout and we will come down to rescue you as soon as possible."
The reason why Zhang Ze didn't let Li Bo live with them was because he was still not sure whether Li Bo's words were true or false.
So for the sake of safety, he let Li Bo live on the first floor, while he and his companions lived on the second and third floors, keeping a certain distance. Even if Li Bo wanted to have any evil intentions, they would have time to deal with it.
"Thank you! Thank you!" Li Bo said with gratitude. He was indeed scared. Coupled with the long years of loneliness, he longed to be close to the same kind of people.
With people like Zhang Ze in front of him, he felt a little comforted in his heart, and he was no longer so afraid of the monster.
Everyone came to the second floor and found a room to sit together and discuss the matter at hand.
"So, we can know several pieces of information from what Li Bo just said."
Yiye Zhiqiu began to analyze the current situation for everyone.
"First of all, Time Town will reincarnate within twelve hours. Does this mean that the numbers above Shimen will also be restored after twelve hours? So we must collect ten thousand points within twelve hours. Time is worth it, otherwise all your efforts will be wasted.”
"Secondly, there is a monster here. This monster likes to hunt humans, but we don't know what its purpose is for hunting humans. We also don't know the strength of this monster, so my suggestion is, don't provoke it. As long as you collect enough time points, you can pass the level, there is no need to fight this monster."
Everyone agreed with Yiye Zhiqiu's words. Since there is a safer way to clear the level, there is no need to take risks. Who knows what the strength of that monster is? If danger occurs, it will be too late to regret.
"But, can we collect enough time values within twelve hours?" Tian Tian's melancholy expressed doubts about this.
They found a lot of things in this town, but unfortunately the time value was not high. Even the antiques in the antique shop were only worth a few thousand time at most, and there were so many of them that all of them used their extraction opportunities. Not necessarily enough.
The giant god also frowned and nodded: "Indeed, this is a very difficult problem."
Little Princess Money's eyes suddenly lit up, and she said excitedly: "I thought of a good idea!"
Everyone looked at her, and the irritable Dragon King asked curiously: "What solution have you come up with?"
"Hehe! Don't forget, we have a system backpack!" Little Princess Money said proudly: "As long as the curator finds an antique with the highest time value, then we put it into the system backpack and wait for twelve Hours later, Time Town is reset and everything returns to normal, so will that thing reappear?"
As soon as she finished speaking, everyone reacted.
"Are you stuck with a bug?" Xiaoniao Yiren said with a smile: "Use the time reset to restore everything to its original state, collect items like crazy, and then extract all their time values in one go... Haha, this It’s a really good idea!”
"How's it going? I'm pretty awesome, reward me!" The little princess's nose almost turned up as she hugged the Dragon King's arm and said coquettishly.
The irritable Dragon King expressed doubts: "I don't know if your method will work yet. Let's try it first and then decide. If it succeeds, I will reward you."
"I want to remind everyone that all current speculations are based on Li Bo not lying." Ge Geguo knocked on the table and said: "We don't know yet whether what Li Bo said is true or false. But... we’ll find out soon.”
Everyone looked out the window because they all heard the bell ringing outside the window.
"The eleventh bell rings, and there is still one hour left. Time Town will be reset." Zhang Ze picked up a water glass from the table next to him, and then smashed the water glass in front of everyone.
"If Li Bo hadn't lied, when the bell rang for the twelfth time, the water glass would have returned to its original state."
"If he lied, then the water glass will continue to remain broken and let us all wait and see."
One hour is a short time, but it feels very long to everyone because everyone is waiting for the final result.
Finally, the twelfth bell rang, and everyone's eyes fell on the broken water glass on the ground.
"It's gone!" Zhang Feng shouted with his eyes widened: "The water cup is gone!"
Zhang Ze immediately looked at the table and saw that the water glass had been placed in its original position intact.
The results have proved that Li Bo did not lie, this town will indeed reset after twelve hours!
"Oh my god...it feels like I'm dreaming!" Moonlight Bunny exclaimed, covering his chest.
Others also looked surprised. This unnatural phenomenon is really incomprehensible.
Little Princess Money smiled happily and said, "You can try my method. I think it will definitely work!"
She shouted to go now, but was stopped by the giant: "Don't forget what Li Bo said, that monster will appear between twelve o'clock and one o'clock. It has just entered twelve o'clock, so we'd better not go out yet, wait." It’s safer to go out after the time has passed.”
Zhang Ze stood up, opened the door, and said, "I'll go to the security room on the first floor and talk to Li Bo again. Maybe I can get more information from him."
"I'll go with you, too." Liu Yueying stood up, took Zhang Ze's hand and walked out of the room together.
The two came to the first floor and suddenly heard a scream from the security room. It was Li Bo!
Zhang Ze secretly said something bad. He quickly rushed to the security room and kicked the door open. He found that the window was open and there was no one in the room.
Liu Yueying found some clothes on the ground. She pulled Zhang Ze's arm. Zhang Ze looked at them and nodded: "Yes, they are the clothes Li Bo is wearing."
"Has Li Bo been captured by that monster?" Liu Yueying clenched the handle of the knife at her waist and asked in a deep voice.
"That's probably it." Zhang Ze nodded slightly.
The two of them walked to the window and looked outside. They saw a strange black fog wandering on the street in the distance.
Zhang Ze noticed that the name of the black mist was "Mystery".
"That's a monster, right? I'm going to deal with it!" Liu Yueying was about to jump out of the window, but was pulled back by Zhang Ze.
He shook his head and said: "We don't know the situation of this monster. It's too dangerous for you to go out. I'll ask my followers to test it out."
Then Zhang Ze had a thought, and the orc swordsman appeared next to him, bowed and said: "Master!"
"Go and destroy that monster!" Zhang Ze pointed out the window. The orc swordsman had already acted at the same time. His body flashed and the person came to the window.
The orc swordsman ran wildly on his feet, and when he was still more than a hundred meters away from the mystery, he had already drawn the two swords from his waist.
Suddenly, the half-moon-shaped blade volleyed towards the opponent!
Mystery seemed to have discovered the orc swordsman, and it suddenly let out a weird laugh, seemingly very happy.
At this time, the orc swordsman's blade had already struck it, but to Zhang Ze and Liu Yueying's surprise, the blade actually passed through it.
"This thing has no body?" Zhang Ze suddenly narrowed his eyes and thought to himself: "How to defeat a monster without a body?"
Seeing that his blade attack had no effect, the orc swordsman decided to fight the mystery in close combat. However, when he just rushed in front of the mystery, a strange object was suddenly spit out from the black mist by the mystery.
