"So the shadow Brother Fugui saw was the ghost that killed Mu Wanming. Is it...still here?" Huaiyi said as soon as he finished speaking, it seemed as if the temperature in the room dropped.
Hearing what Huaiyi said, Ouyang Huanbin became even more frightened, and urged with a trembling voice: "What are you still lingering on? Let's go quickly."
Jiang Cheng turned around and walked towards the wall clock, "No one will stop you if you want to leave, but I can tell you that it may not be safe to go back. This wall clock appeared suddenly, and the way out may be inside."
Miao Qing and Liu Hui also came up at this moment and looked at the wall clock carefully, but they were just observing, but no one touched it with their hands.
The wall clock didn't know whether it was broken or something. It had stopped, and the hour and minute hands remained motionless. "1:17..." Jiang Cheng stared at the wall clock and said softly.
"Which of you still remember when you heard Mu Wanming screaming?" Huaiyi suddenly asked.
"It happened so suddenly that I didn't pay attention to the time, but when I returned to my room from Mu Wanming's room, I glanced at my phone and it was almost 2 o'clock." Liu Hui recalled.
"So counting the time we stayed in Mu Wanming's room, the time when she had the nightmare was very close to the time when the clock stopped." Miao Qing made a simple calculation in his mind and came to a disturbing conclusion.
Bai Xiaojie swallowed nervously, looked around, as if confirming something, and then whispered: "Is this the time when those things appear? They will appear at 1:17 every morning? "
This was a new discovery. If it could be confirmed, it would be very important for their next mission. However, Jiang Cheng turned his head and asked her in one sentence, "Then how do you explain the matter in the library?"
Not long ago, a ghost in a black dress appeared there and hanged Jiang Zhao.
There were no new discoveries in the room. The sky outside the window gradually darkened. Mu Wanming's head was still on the ground, as if to remind everyone of what had happened here.
Everyone left the room and stood in the corridor outside. There were some agreed-upons in the mission, such as not wandering out at night unless there were special circumstances.
The alarm clock pattern on the dinner plate, the suspended wall clock in the room, the frozen 1:17... Jiang Cheng's heart was filled with a layer of haze, and he had an indescribable feeling.
This series of discoveries is more like bait than clues. Invisible to them, there is an invisible hand, leading them bit by bit into the abyss.
Perhaps...the owner of this hand is the one that the soul of the missing person dare not mention.
Everyone was a little tired and planned to go back to their rooms to rest, but the next scene made everyone dumbfounded. The door to the room could not be opened. "What's going on?" Bai Xiaojie turned the door handle hard. There was no problem with the handle, but the door couldn't be pushed open.
Miao Qing frowned and stepped forward, opening the door to Bai Xiaojie's room with just a slight push.
Opposite the door, there is a black table. On the table, there is an old clock. The clock face is facing everyone. It is supported by a tripod below. The clock case is stained with rust.
But what really attracts everyone's attention is the time above.
At 2:45, everyone can see clearly.
"It seems that none of us can go back to the previous rooms. We need to exchange rooms, and now there is an extra clock in each room." Jiang Cheng already had an idea through the layout of the two rooms.
"And the clock time in each room is different." Liu Hui added.
There was no longer much communication, and everyone chose a new room. Under Jiang Cheng's hint, he and Fatty Huaiyi did not move, but let others choose the room first.
Gu Ji
Miao Qing and others opened and closed the door very quickly, as if they were deliberately avoiding other people.
When everyone entered the room, only Jiang Cheng and the three of them were left in the corridor. Huaiyi seemed to understand something at this moment. He stared at the empty corridor with squinted eyes and lowered his voice: "They were worried about being seen seeing the time on the clock in the room."
The fat man looked around. It was already half dark outside, and there was an unsettling atmosphere in the empty corridor. "Doctor." The fat man hugged his arms tightly, "We will choose the room last... Is it really okay?" ?”
Without answering the fat man's question, Jiang Cheng glanced at the closed doors one by one. He had memorized the other people's rooms. Then he walked to an empty room, pushed it gently, and the door opened.
He did not enter the door, but stood outside the door and looked inside. Using the light from the corridor, he found the clock in front of the bed. "It's 2:59..." The fat man stretched his neck and squinted his eyes. See more clearly.
Later, under Jiang Cheng's arrangement, Fatty and Huaiyi each opened a door, but they only opened it and did not go in.
The clock in the door opened by the fat man stopped at 5 o'clock, and behind the door opened by Huai Yi, it was 1:55. Huai Yi couldn't help but gasped when he saw this scene, and his expression became nervous. stand up.
"Fat man." Jiang Cheng greeted, "Just go into your own room."
"oh oh."
Then, Jiang Cheng turned his head and looked at Huai Yi, who had a nervous face. After a while, he nodded to him and said softly: "It's okay. Let's change. Come to my room."
Hearing this, Huai Yi stared at Jiang Cheng's face, his expression dazed for a moment. After he realized what he was saying, he was obviously a little nervous, with a complicated expression on his face that contained rejection, "But here..."
Jiang Cheng shook his head, not giving him a chance to continue.
The fat man also saw some tricks. He turned to look at the calm doctor and said in surprise: "It's time! The earlier the time, the more likely people are to be entangled with those things."
Slowly, some of the things that had been previously unclear began to loosen up. The reason why Mu Wanming died first was because the clock in her room was the earliest among all the people.
At 1:17, the ghost came to her at 1:17, that extremely real nightmare.
Thinking about it now, the clock pattern has always been hidden on the dinner plate, but the first time we ate a foreign object, so we didn't check it carefully, but from that time on, the curse had been activated.
It was only after they discovered the clock pattern that the curse's pattern officially surfaced.
Thinking of this, Fatty couldn't help but feel a little scared. If he found the pattern on the dinner plate later, then they would be killed one by one by the ghost according to time without any clue.
It would have been a massacre.
What they can confirm so far is that the first death of Mu Wanming was at 1:17, the door that Miao Qing opened just now was at 2:45, the door in Jiangcheng was at 2:59, and Huaiyi was at 1 o'clock. 55 minutes, and the fat man who was scratching his head was 5 o'clock sharp. He didn't need Jiang Cheng to worry at all. It was almost dawn at that time.
In other words, Huaiyi is the one closest to death in the known time.
To be precise, it was the person who stayed in Huaiyi's room.
