"What does it mean when the tide fluctuates?" Xiaolan asked.
"It's Lingxi's owner who just showed up."
It appears now.
Several people quickened their pace and climbed up to the first floor. The smell of cold hard metal and lubricating oil hit their faces. Xiaolan adjusted the focus of the flashlight and shined it. It turned out that the entire third floor was filled with the internal movement of the big clock, brass-colored.
The space is cramped and stuffy.
"This is such a big place, where is there anyone?" Chi Miao asked hiding behind Xiao Boyu.
"Disappeared," Luo Jiutian held up a flashlight and looked around, "She's gone."
Upon hearing the news, Chi Miao and Xiao Boyu were obviously relieved.
"Look, the big clock has indeed stopped." Xiao Lan looked at Ji Kuo who had stopped walking.
The parts that should be functioning normally are beating in vain in place, like...
"It's not stopped," Bai Yunqi looked at Xiaolan, "It seems to be stuck."
Xiao Lan nodded. The complicated clock mechanism did not lose power, but something prevented it from running. With this idea in mind, Xiao Lan looked into the movement closer to the big clock.
Several little heads poked their heads over to look inside at the same time.
There is something blocked between the two large gears at the deepest point, and it is being squeezed by the two gears on the left and right.
This is……
"ah!……"
Chi Miao's scream rang in Xiaolan's ears, causing Xiaolan's head to buzz. Xiaolan was stunned before she could understand what it was.
"What's wrong with Miaomiao? What did you see?"
"There are dead people! Old Xiao! There are dead people!"
Xiaolan patted her ears and calmed down.
Faded jeans, a wrinkled red plaid shirt, two slender arms resting feebly on the ground, black hair covering his face, the lifeless man swaying from side to side under the squeeze of the gears.
Someone died here.
"The ghost strikes again! She kills again!" Bai Yunqi collapsed and hugged his head.
Something isn't quite right.
Xiaolan frowned and looked up at Luo Jiutian, seeing that he and Lao Luo were also frowning in confusion like herself.
"Have you seen this girl?" Lao Luo asked.
"I can't see clearly," Chi Miao said tremblingly, "but...this outfit...should not be Hongchen and Xiaosong..."
Xiaolan remembered what Gao Mingjia said. In addition to the people who are already known, there are also some people who have entered here. Could it be that this girl is an unknown entrant?
"Is she really dead? Was she just fainted?"
"She's dead, she's dead," Chi Miao almost cried, "Didn't you see that there was blood all over her body and pants?"
Blood?
Xiaolan looked carefully, and sure enough, the girl's jeans and shirt were stained with blood, and even her exposed arms had faint blood stains.
Xiaolan immediately looked at Chi Miao with admiration. Although she was timid, she had great eyesight.
"You have been in the bell tower for so many days, but haven't you ever visited the third floor?" Xiaolan asked.
"We were here before, but there was no one, no body, and the big clock didn't stop," Xiao Boyu said hurriedly, and after a while he added, "No one has come these days."
That's weird, when did people die?
"Didn't he just say that there was a fluctuation in the tide? Didn't the ghost come just now? The ghost came and killed her!" Chi Miao pointed at Luo Jiutian and asked.
Xiaolan took a look and saw that Luo Jiutian and Lao Luo were already planning to get inside to see the body.
"Can you go in?"
"Isn't this what you are trying to do!"
Luo Jiutian had almost squeezed himself out of shape. Lao Luo ignored his son's wails and pushed his son into the gap with all his strength.
"Aren't your compasses and your Panlong Pond treasures? Can't you use them?"
"Our Panlongchi is a magic weapon! It's an artifact! What do you think it is, an excavator!"
Seeing the two of them struggling, Xiaolan waved her hand.
"You guys come out, I'll go in, I can get in."
Luo Jiutian went in with difficulty, but came out very quickly. The two of them stood on both sides of the gap and looked at Xiaolan respectfully.
"That's hard work, Miss Xiaolan."
Xiaolan lowered her abdomen and turned sideways to get into the gap. The gap was not too long, but it became narrower as she went in. If she wanted to enter the machine, she had to pass through this gap. Xiaolan felt the width of the gap and wanted to let Luo Jiutian
Come on, he will probably be stuck here alive by his biological father.
Through the gap and across the beam, Xiaolan jumped up and jumped to the side of the body.
The only flashlight was left at Chi Miao's place. I don't know whether it was out of fear or something, but the light it illuminated kept shaking.
The inside of the machine is a relatively closed space, with the back of the clock in front and the lobby on the third floor leading to only a gap in the back.
Xiaolan stretched out her hand to brush away the hair of the female corpse. The expression of the female corpse was peaceful and normal. It could be seen that she was a very beautiful girl before she was born. It even made people doubt whether she was really a corpse.
The shirt was red and black checked. If you didn't look carefully, you wouldn't be able to tell that it was stained with large amounts of blood. The clothes were not torn, but the blood stains showed that the wound should be near the chest.
Xiaolan tried to unbutton the female corpse. Worrying about the male audience outside, Xiaolan turned sideways to block the gap and worked alone.
Gently lifting the left side of the female corpse's shirt, the scene that appeared in front of her was so startling that Xiaolan even took a breath of air.
The left chest of the female corpse was dripping with blood, and even bones could be seen. An empty blood hole was there, but what should have been inside was gone.
Her heart was ripped out!
It was so cruel, Xiaolan narrowed her eyes, and the flames of anger rose again.
"ah!……"
"Holy shit!"
Chi Miao and Xiao Boyu started screaming again, but Xiaolan ignored them. She didn't look at them until Lao Luo shouted "Miss Xiaolan".
Several people crowded into the gap and gestured desperately.
What are you doing?
"Eyes! Her eyes!"
The light of the flashlight shook violently. Xiaolan felt a chill in her back and turned to look into the eyes of the female corpse.
The eyelashes flickered, and there was a smile in the eyes.
These eyes were obviously closed just now...
"Run! Run!"
Where am I going?
Chi Miao screamed again, and Xiaolan's brain had shut down at this moment. Following Chi Miao's heart-rending scream, the light source finally showed a parabola and fell gorgeously.
At the last second before the light disappeared, Xiaolan watched the female corpse's upper body straighten up and sit up, smiling slyly as she stretched out her left hand towards her.
"Boom! Gulu, gulu, gulu..."
Out of sight.
In the darkness, a warm hand touched Xiaolan's neck.
Xiaolan instinctively mobilized the power in her body, but strangely, she had no urge to attack.
No malice felt.
The cries outside the gap were already chaotic, and Xiao Lan had no intention of listening. The female corpse was grabbing his neck, and Xiao Lan was grabbing the female corpse's shirt. The two of them just sat like this, neither of them taking a step forward.
Suddenly, a golden light rushed straight from the gap.
"Fight demons and subjugate demons, Luozu reveals himself, kills ghosts with banners, go!"
The female corpse's hand holding her throat tightened slightly, and then quickly retracted it. Xiaolan felt that the hem of the shirt she was holding in her hand was also pulled away by a force.
The next second, the golden light came to him. The golden light seemed to turn into a whip, and it hit Xiaolan's face hard before he could react, and knocked Xiaolan over.
