Chapter 965 Sending a Clock
"So the shadow that Brother Fugui saw was the ghost that killed Mu Wanming. It...it's still here?" As soon as Huai Yi finished speaking, the temperature in the room seemed to drop.
Hearing what Huai Yi said, Ouyang Huanbin became even more scared, and urged with a trembling voice: "What are you still hesitating about, let's go quickly."
Jiang Cheng turned around and walked towards the wall clock, "No one will stop you from leaving, 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, looking at the wall clock carefully, but just observing, no one touched it with their hands.
The wall clock was broken or something, and it had stopped, and the hour and minute hands remained motionless, "1:17..." Jiang Cheng stared at the wall clock and said softly.
"Who of you remembers what time it was when you heard Mu Wanming screaming?" Huai Yi suddenly asked.
"It happened suddenly at the time, and 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, taking into account the time we stayed in Mu Wanming's room, the time when she had a nightmare was very close to the time when the clock stopped." Miao Qing made a simple calculation in his mind, and the conclusion he came to was disturbing.
Bai Xiaojie swallowed nervously, looked around, as if to confirm something, and then whispered: "Is this time the time when those things appear? They will appear at 1:17 am every day?"
This is a new discovery. If it can be confirmed, it will be very important for their next task. However, Jiang Cheng turned his head and asked her with one sentence, "How do you explain the library?"
Not long ago, a ghost in a black skirt appeared there and hanged Jiang Zhao.
There was no new discovery in the room. The sky outside the window gradually darkened. Mu Wanming's head was still on the ground, as if reminding everyone of what had happened here.
Everyone left the room and stood in the corridor outside. There were some conventional consensus in the task, such as not wandering outside at night without special circumstances.
The alarm clock pattern on the plate, the stopped wall clock in the room, the frozen 1:17... Jiang Cheng's heart was faintly covered with a haze, and he had an indescribable feeling.
This series of discoveries is more like bait than clues. In a place they can't see, there is an invisible hand that leads them to the abyss little by little.
Perhaps... the owner of this hand is the one that the missing person's soul dare not mention.
Everyone was a little tired and planned to go back to their respective rooms to rest, but the next scene made everyone dumbfounded. The door of the room could not be opened. "What's the situation?" Bai Xiaojie turned the door handle hard. The handle was fine, but the door could not be pushed open.
Miao Qing frowned and walked forward. With just a slight push, he opened the door of Bai Xiaojie's room.
Opposite the door, there was a black table. On the table, there was an old clock. The clock face was facing everyone's position. It was supported by a tripod below, and the clock shell was rusty.
But what really attracted everyone's attention was the time on it.
2:45, everyone saw it clearly.
"It seems that none of us can go back to the previous room, we need to exchange rooms, and now there is an extra clock in each room." Jiang Cheng has already had an idea through the layout of the two rooms.
"And the time of the clock in each room is different." Liu Hui added.
There is no more communication, everyone chose a new room. At Jiang Cheng's suggestion, he and the fat man Huai Yi 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 others.
After everyone entered the room, only Jiang Cheng and the other two were left in the corridor. Huai Yi seemed to understand something at this moment. He squinted his eyes and stared at the empty corridor, lowering his voice: "They are worried that the time on the clock in the room will be seen."
The fat man looked around. It was already half dark outside, and the empty corridor was filled with an uneasy atmosphere. "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's eyes swept through the closed doors one by one. He had memorized the rooms of the others, and then walked to an empty room, gently pushed the door, and it opened.
He did not enter the door, but stood outside the door and looked inside. With the light in 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, so that he could see more clearly.
Then, under Jiang Cheng's arrangement, the fat man and Huai Yi 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 the clock behind the door opened by Huai Yi was 1:55. Seeing this, Huai Yi couldn't help but gasp and became nervous.
"Fatty." Jiang Cheng called, "Just go to your own room."
"Oh."
Then, Jiang Cheng turned his head and looked at Huai Yi, who was nervous. After a while, he nodded to him and said softly, "It's okay, let's switch, you come to my room."
Huai Yi stared at Jiang Cheng's face and looked dazed for a moment. After reacting, he was obviously a little nervous, and his face was complicated with rejection, "But here..."
Jiang Cheng shook his head and didn't give 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.
