On killing the protagonist

When Ye Hanjiang said that they were running out of time, Gu Qinuo guessed: "The other you will make this choice, the first is to tell us what we need to look for, and the second should be to tell us, he passed This timing of the information is critical."

Ye Hanjiang nodded: "Yes, if I'm not wrong, the clock on the other line must have been destroyed by the murderer, and it was destroyed three days ago, so the other me risked being wiped out and Be sure to pass this message on to me."

Thinking that another self might have committed suicide, Ye Hanjiang's mood suddenly became depressed, and he said uneasy: "Arnuo, can we really do it?"

Gu Qinuo sighed and said to himself: "The little fool who is not afraid of the sky and the earth is actually afraid of things?" '

He held Ye Hanjiang's shoulder: "Remember, no matter what the result is, I will be with you."

Seeing the determination in his eyes, Ye Hanjiang nodded heavily, and at the same time made up his mind secretly in his heart.

In the silent night, two figures hug each other, and the dim sky seems to indicate something.

All night.

When the sky lit up on the fifth day, a ghostly figure suddenly appeared outside the innermost room in the west factory area. He looked around vigilantly to make sure no one was following him, and then opened the door of the room.

As soon as he entered the room, he found the target of his trip, a clock hanging on the wall.

The clock is a normal wall clock with a brown case and a white dial. The only difference is that its hands move backwards.

He didn't rush forward, but first picked up a rock and threw it on the ground. After making sure that there was no trap, he carefully approached the target.

It wasn't until the clock was in his hand that he breathed a sigh of relief, and then laughed happily: "Hahaha..."

After laughing, the first thing he did was to throw the clock to the ground.

Then he took out a hammer from his backpack and slammed it hard until the shell was completely destroyed and the parts were broken, and then he stopped.

He tilted his head and smiled brightly: "Now that the clock is ruined, let's see how you beat me!"

"It seems that we came at the wrong time and disturbed this friend's elegant mood."

A voice suddenly sounded at the door, but Ye Hanjiang walked in with two other people, Shi Shiran.

Instead of being worried, he grinned and showed a malicious smile: "The action is quite fast, but it's a pity that you are a step late."

As he said that, he deliberately raised his foot to crush the scattered parts on the ground, with a triumphant look.

Unexpectedly, the person opposite him laughed softly: "We are all smart people, so there is no need to use these childish psychological tricks, Jerry!"

Ye Qiu was taken aback by Ye Hanjiang's words. He looked at the man who was nearly 1.7 meters tall and exclaimed, "He's Jerry? How is that possible?"

Then he denied it: "No, Jerry is clearly a child..."

"There is only one answer." Ye Hanjiang said: "This Mr. Jerry is not a child in the first place."

"how is this possible?"

"Why is it impossible?" Ye Hanjiang looked sideways at Jerry and said, "I heard that there is a kind of person who practiced bone shrinking skills since childhood, and can shrink from an adult of 1.7 meters to the size of a child. The purpose is to complete the circus. escape game, right?"

"Circus?" Ye Qiu said in shock.

Gu Qinuo's face was ugly: "We should have thought of it a long time ago, because Gaia's appearance is a reminder."

Ye Hanjiang didn't care about the whispering between the two. He looked at Jerry and said, "I felt strange when I saw you for the first time, but I couldn't explain why it was so strange. Until later, I found it in the big pit where Yang Chao died. A shoe print.

He looked at Jerry firmly and said, "A canvas shoe with a size of forty."

"Among the nine of us, only Ke Xiao and the canvas shoes you wear. Ke Xiao is petite, and it is almost impossible to wear a size [-] shoe, but you, an eight or nine-year-old child, have a pair of shoes that are bigger than an adult. feet, I felt strange at the time, until later, when I remembered Fang Yanbo's words, I suddenly understood the reason."

As he spoke, Ye Hanjiang raised his finger and pointed at his neck: "Because of Adam's apple."

"what!"

As soon as he said it, Ye Qiu and Gu Qinuo remembered it.

When meeting Jerry for the first time, Fang Yanbo did say that he had a deep voice and a big frame, not like a child, but was interrupted by Ke Xiao, who was eager to protect his heart.

"You can guess it's me just by a shoe print? I don't believe it." Jerry stared at him and laughed.

"Of course." Ye Hanjiang held up something and said: "More importantly, I have a good helper."

Jerry looked up and saw that he was holding a red collar in his hand.

Rewind the time to a day ago.

"Huh? Why did this cat suddenly have a collar?" Ye Qiu held the cat in his arms and grabbed the red collar around its neck with one hand, wondering.

Ye Hanjiang's heart skipped a beat when he heard the words, and he asked, "Are you sure you didn't have it before?"

Ye Qiu nodded firmly and said, "Well, I wanted to know its name before, so I came here specifically to look."

Ye Hanjiang looked in the direction of his hand, and sure enough, he saw a collar hanging around the cat's neck.

He took the collar off the cat, and there were three English letters embroidered with tiny black embroidery thread——Tom

Ye Hanjiang suddenly said: "I understand."

"Understand what?" Ye Qiu let go of the cat.

"It turned out that this was the second message I left on the first day."

"What do you mean?" Gu Qinuo asked puzzled.

Ye Hanjiang looked at him with bright eyes: "Do you still remember the reason I said before that the notch had to be left blank?"

"Ok!"

"The first possibility is to tell me that I left a message that day but unfortunately it was not delivered to me. The second possibility is to tell me that there is a message that will definitely be delivered to me, but it was not delivered on the same day."

"But what does this Tom mean?" Ye Qiu scratched his head in confusion.

"The murderer is Jerry!" It was Gu Qinuo who answered him.

"Huh?" Seeing his determined expression, Ye Qiu frowned and said, "How do you know?"

Gu Qinuo pointed to the English short: "It told me."

Seeing that Ye Qiu was still in a daze, Ye Hanjiang helped to explain: "In the cartoon "Tom and Jerry", the breed of the cat is British short and its name is Tom. Coincidentally, there happened to be one of us in this group. It's called Jerry."

After hearing what Ye Hanjiang said about how he deduced that he was the murderer.

Jerry spread his hands, still looking arrogant: "Even if you know that I am a murderer, so what? The clock has been destroyed by me, and now you are just as useless as breaking the sky."

"Really?" Ye Hanjiang raised his eyebrows, reached out to take something from Gu Qinuo, lifted it up and said to him: "Then what do you think it is?"

Jerry glanced over, but saw that he was holding a clock in his hand, which looked exactly like the one he had smashed.

He exclaimed, "How did you have this?"

Ye Hanjiang raised the corner of his mouth: "Since I know you are the murderer, how could I not keep a hand?"

He showed the most relaxed expression since he entered the world and said: "In the situation where it is so difficult to deliver messages, it is absolutely impossible for me to deliver a reminder that is of no use. When I woke up on the third morning, my The leaf beside the pillow has already told me where the clock is."

As he spoke, he looked at the pear tree outside the wall and said, "After all, this kind of tree only grows here, doesn't it?"

Realizing that he had fallen into the scheme of the other party, Jerry was furious: "You did it on purpose!"

"Of course." Ye Hanjiang's eyes became extremely cold: "For a person like you, letting things go out of your control is more uncomfortable than killing you."

"Give me the clock!" Jerry yelled and rushed towards them, trying to grab it by force.

Gu Qinuo jumped up and kicked him away.

It hit the table and fell apart. Jerry flew upside down and landed on a table.

He lay on the ground clutching his stomach, looking at the three of Ye Hanjiang with resentment.

Under his panicked eyes, Ye Hanjiang put his index finger on the second hand and turned it back slightly. The clock stopped for a moment, and then started to move forward.

Unexpectedly, when the clock started to move forward, Jerry lying on the ground suddenly started to go crazy.

He patted the floor and shook his head like crazy and laughed loudly: "I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it, you are so smart that you can't even see through such a simple situation."

Facing the gazes from the three of them, he got up from the ground, as if he was celebrating a holiday: "At this time, I might as well let you die clearly, in fact——I found out that you have changed the clocks a long time ago. "

"From the first day I came here, I already knew that the clock was hanging here, and I deliberately left it here to lure you to come."

As he said that, he pointed to the floor below the clock and said, "The floor is covered with fluorescent powder. As long as you use sunglasses to check whether your shoes are stained with fluorescent powder, I can confirm whether you have been here before."

Jerry said triumphantly: "Also, the collar you found on that stupid cat was actually put on by me. The purpose is to guide you to find this place, so that you can feel that you have the chance to restore the clock without any doubts. .”

"Why did you do this?" Ye Qiu was puzzled: "Since you have already discovered the clock, you can just restore it directly. Why do you have to make such a big circle to plot against us?"

Jerry: "How boring is that?"

He spread his hands and made a gesture of enjoyment: "It's like a cat catching a mouse. It's fun to play with the mouse before it dies!"

As he spoke, he looked at Ye Hanjiang and showed a devilish smile: "Do you think you can restore the original state by turning the clock back to forward?"

"Let me tell you the truth! Except for you and me, the rest of the people are not on this timeline. As long as the clock is restored, they will all have to return to another timeline."

"Oh—by the way, there's one thing you don't know yet."

Having said that, he suddenly stopped, and said with a hypocritical look of regret: "The other timeline was already yesterday..."

Said and made an explosive gesture: "Collapsed, so they—"

He pointed at Gu Qinuo and Ye Qiu, and said, "I will be wiped out by the Lord God soon, hahaha——"

Ye Hanjiang, who was opposite him, did not change his expression at all. He looked at Jerry who had already entered the state of celebration, and asked softly, "Really?"

"Of course!" Jerry replied decisively. He looked at Gu Qinuo and Ye Qiu and pointed at them as they were about to speak, but suddenly his expression changed drastically.

"No, why are you still here? You should disappear?"

Ye Hanjiang looked at the panicked Jerry with a cold expression: "Why didn't you disappear?"

He showed an expression similar to Jerry's before, and said maliciously to the man: "Because this clock—"

He prolonged his tone on purpose, and slowly uttered the second half of the sentence under Jerry's eager expression: "It's fake!"
