Weird Regulator

"21:27..."

Ji Li looked at the time on the clock, turned his head and looked at the bulging quilt on the bed, and fell into deep thought.

If we push forward, the person who opened the door should have taken the initiative to adjust the time from 18:01 to 21:02.

The time on the clock and the actual time do not necessarily conflict. The task should be based on the actual time. The time on the clock should only correspond to a certain rule of No. 1414.

Then the person who opened the door deliberately adjusted the time on the clock to achieve a certain purpose, such as...

Only after "21 o'clock" can it lie on this bed to sleep?

Ji Li frowned, his eyes fixed on the quilt, and there was a doubt in his heart, which was getting bigger and bigger.

If he assumed that the person who opened the door was the old ghost living alone, then as the owner of the room, why did it have to adjust the time to fall asleep?

Of course, there is also a habit of the old ghost living alone who has such an extreme self-discipline, but this possibility is obviously lower.

Therefore, after Ji Li had always assumed that the person who opened the door was the old ghost living alone, he found a bigger doubt.

When the ghost walked in the bedroom, his eyes were fixed on the other's feet.

The feet were pale and rough, with bulging blood vessels, which clearly showed the posture of a dead person, but it was definitely not that old.

Then a question arose.

If the ghost lying on the bed at this moment was not the old ghost living alone, why was it so familiar with No. 1414, and what was its identity?

There were three people and ghosts involved in No. 1414: the old ghost living alone, the twin female ghosts, and the mysterious man who dropped his swimming trunks.

The relationship between these three parties was extremely complicated. They had no causal connection at all, but they all had a relationship in this room.

Ji Li now had to use the method of elimination, so he came up with a subversive guess-the person who opened the door was not the old ghost living alone, but the man in swimming trunks.

It entered No. 1414 for other purposes, and tampering with the clock time was a means to achieve this goal.

When he thought of this, Ji Li's breathing became cautious, and his palm gently rested on the quilt.

Female ghost under the bed, male ghost on the bed, he stood at the head of the bed, and he could get his answer by lifting the quilt, but at the same time he might also bury his life for this confusion.

But in the end, he still chose to believe in the abnormal laws of clock time and confirmed his judgment.

Ji Li's mentality had long been numb to the supernatural and horror. His hands were more stable than the top surgeons, and he slowly lifted a corner of the quilt with heavy breathing.

A head full of pus and blood, with ulcerated skin, staring with a pair of scattered pupils, appeared in Ji Li's field of vision, causing both sides to pause for a moment.

Until the breathing of the door opener stopped abruptly, staring at the dead eyes, cracking his mouth and taking a long breath, and then exhaling a long, heavy exhaust gas.

The head had no ears, pus was oozing out of the ear holes, and there was no tongue when it opened its mouth to breathe. This seemed to be related to a legend from two years ago, but it was different.

But there was no attack, which was Ji Li's first correct judgment.

The dark and thick hair of the festering ghost also meant that it was definitely not a solitary old ghost, which was the second correct judgment.

But Ji Li was not excited, because things were even more complicated than he expected.

The festering ghost was not the third party of No. 1414, but the fourth party, but the solitary old ghost had not yet appeared.

The chaos was still intensifying.

The good news was that the festering ghost was indeed the owner of the swimming trunks that Ji Li found, because in a quick glance just now, he saw that the ghost was also naked, wearing only a pair of swimming trunks.

However, it was now wearing a flesh-colored swimming trunks.

When Ji Li's hand stretched out from the quilt, the festering ghost was wrapped in the quilt again, and there was an extra key in his palm.

This key was a cross silver key, which was obviously not a bathroom lock, but more like a house key.

Ji Li turned the key in his hand and saw a piece of tape on it, which read: "1413".

The time on the clock pointed to "21:30".

The clock time has a special meaning for No. 1414.

At present, it is known that at "18:00", the festering ghost will open the door and enter the room, and adjust the time to "21:00" so that it can sleep peacefully.

But as a non-owner, it is unknown when it will get up, but if it is calculated, it dare not stay too long, maybe it will be "21:30".

In other words, Ji Li has at least 3 minutes, and he needs to make a choice during this safe time.

Either stay at No. 1414 and search for the key to the bathroom;

Or go to No. 1413 and investigate the identity of the festering ghost.

The former should have enough time and is safer, because there is a twin female ghost under the bed.

But the disadvantage is that Ji Li may miss further information about the festering ghost No. 1413, and the next similar opportunity can only wait until this time tomorrow.

The latter, understanding the connection between No. 1413 and No. 1414, the connection between the solitary old ghost, the festering ghost, and the twin female ghosts, these three ghosts, are of great significance.

But there are many disadvantages. First of all, there is not enough time. Everything in No. 1413 is unfamiliar. It is difficult for him to get complete information within the limited time.

With only two seconds to think, Ji Li had almost no hesitation. He went directly to the clock, opened the shell, and turned the minute hand 75 degrees counterclockwise.

Changed the clock time from "21.27" to "21.07".

The clock time rules can be used by ghosts and humans.

Ji Li did not leave the hand holding the minute immediately. He turned back and stared at the bed. Seeing that the festering ghost was not abnormal, he was relieved.

Now he has 23 minutes to investigate No. 1413 and truly understand the secrets between the two rooms and three ghosts. It should be enough.

He leaned down with a black umbrella, and half of his face appeared under the bed. He saw a lingering female ghost, who was also looking at him with half of her face.

The single female ghost seemed to be sealed when facing the festering ghost. No matter what Ji Li did, it did not react.

Let Ji Li's hand take the backpack from its side, without any intention of stopping it.

But don't look at its harmless appearance now. Before the festering ghost entered the door, it even killed the man in black in an instant.

Every ghost must be taken seriously. Ji Li kept this in mind, and walked out of the bedroom with his backpack and black umbrella.

Living room, bathroom, entrance, open the door and walk, without stopping or hiding.

At least before 21:30, Ji Li is absolutely safe.

Going out again, the cold wind and moonlight from the outside world descend on people, bringing a brand new breath.

At this moment, Yu Lao Street is dead silent, without a single light on, as if it has become a haunted building.

The other nine shop assistants, in this quiet night, what kind of horror practice are they experiencing...

Ji Li doesn't know, he is just carrying out his own exploration in an orderly manner in a difficult and chaotic situation.

Leaving the dim but safe No. 1414, he stood in front of the door of No. 1413 next door. It will be unknown inside, and there may be more unknown dangers.

If the festering ghost of No. 1413 is in No. 1414, then will the lonely old ghost be in No. 1413?

This is a bold guess.

Because according to supernatural rumors, the festering ghost in No. 1413 had been spreading strange stories about the lonely old ghost before his death.

Perhaps he was killed by the lonely old ghost.

So after "21 o'clock", when the festering ghost sneaked into No. 1414 to sleep with an unknown purpose, did the lonely old ghost sneak into No. 1413 at the same time to kill?

Are this pair of old ghosts, this pair of neighbors, performing the drama of "grotesque murder" and "morbid infiltration" every day...
