Chapter 183: Turning Decay into Legend (13)

"For the sake of justice, but instead it caught fire..."River was very touched by this incident.

"Yes. At that time, Lord Carmon had not yet become a destroyer, and had not yet fought against the Ripland group. The death of the chief made all the officers in the police department realize that they were against the Ripland group. The one-time sacrifice of several police officers, as well as the chief, severely damaged the morale of all police officers, who all lost confidence and did not dare to deal with the Ripland group until the emergence of the Rotter. (Talivi)

"So, the danger of losing mentioned in the puzzle is actually the police's desire to maintain justice, right?" (Snia)

"Yes. Without the heart to maintain justice, sin will take to the streets and people's lives will become dangerous. As he spoke, Tarevi picked up the pillow on the hospital bed and found a note inside the pillowcase with a clock drawn on it, as well as a hint.

"'Hint: You can choose to destroy this piece of evidence, because no one knows that the tip is here but you, and if you destroy it, the people behind you won't be able to catch up with you, and it's up to you whether to do it or not'...... Are we going to destroy the evidence?" asked Ammilo.

They were the first to discover this clue, and if they destroyed the evidence and forged a false message, they could make everyone behind them go astray, so that only they could solve all the puzzles set by Carmon completely.

"All competition is fair, it's the same for everyone. Moreover, the answer to the puzzle this time, about the heart of justice, if we destroy the evidence so that we cannot be surpassed by others, then we will be swallowed up by our own selfish thoughts, so that even if we find Lord Carmon, then, are we still the same as ourselves?"

After slipping the clue note back to its original location, the group left the hospital and returned to Sinya's home.

"What the hell does this clock picture mean?" (River)

"It's easy to understand, but it's the first time that a non-literal puzzle has appeared, and I'm afraid there's more information hidden in the picture than in the text. (Snia)

"Well, could it be that you mean a watch shop? Aren't there a lot of clocks in the watch shop?"

"It's possible, but after so much, I don't think it's that simple, it's definitely a piece of false information. (Ammiro)

"However, clocks are actually very common in every household now, right? (River)

"Could it be that there is a clock with an icon?" (Carifey)

"Iconic clocks? You mean Big Ben in the clock tower? That kind of thing doesn't exist in Rosafern, and even if it wasn't built before, it still exists in some first- and second-tier cities. (Snia)

"Times have changed a lot, and some people still use the radio all the time because they report on time. (Ammiro)

"Punctual clock...... Could it be that the pattern of this clock refers to the clock on the bomb, which is the countdown?" Tarevi analyzed something, but what he said made the others creepy.

"Fried... Bombs?Could it be, this test, the next trial, there are bombs, right?" Carifi was very scared, and it wasn't just him, even Ammilo and River were the same, but Snia and Tarevi were very calm.

"Who do you think Lord Carmon is, is he holding this event for us citizens, just to blow us up?" Snya was a little annoyed, the test had been carried out so far, and Carifey still thought that his life was in danger in the test, and he couldn't help but say two words about Carifey.

Tarevi then continued his analysis: "This is most likely a bombing, and I noticed that the clock on the picture refers to 11:59. Although I don't know how the bomb works, most of the bombs that are known to explode when all the corrections reach 12 o'clock, and this 11:59 may refer to the minute before the bomb explodes, or more specifically, the limit time, to stop the bomb, or the bomb is about to detonate. ”

"There are several cases here, all of which involve bombs. By the time Tarevi was analyzing, Ammilo had already flipped through the newspapers and found several cases related to the bomb explosions, "involving locations such as Huanlai Resort, Rare Pedestrian Street, Fuding Farmers' Trade Center, as well as banks and hospitals in the city." ”

"I'm afraid, it's Huanlai Resort. Snia said, this is very surprising, the general analyst should be Tarivi, and Tarevi nodded in agreement.

"Why? Why are you so sure?" (River)

"It's impossible for Riel Walk, and it's unlikely that the bank is either, because when we solved the second puzzle, we had already investigated the banks separately, and it is impossible to say that it was because of the precedence that a certain bank did not be honest with us and said that there was a second puzzle. Secondly, it is not possible in the hospital, because we have just returned from the hospital, and from the analysis just now, since there is already a puzzle in one hospital, then there will not be the same puzzle in other hospitals, after all, if other people find the wrong place, it may cause the phenomenon of 'skipping the question'. (Talivi)

"In the Huanlai Resort, there was actually no explosion, but it was because at that time, there was a suspicion that a bomb was planted, but in fact, the location of the bomb was in the Fuding Farmers' Trade Center, and it was taken out of the city by Lord Carmon within the limit time. Although this is an obvious attempt to point to the Fuding Farmers' Trade Center, if it weren't for the fact that the police wasted so much time in the Huanlai resort area, it would not have caused this 'extreme' time bombing. (Snia)

"And, I don't know if you remember, Lord Carmon and they launched an attack not long ago, and Huanlai Resort is one of them. This is a clear way to draw attention to the Huanlai Resort. Today, the resort is closed, but it is not under the control of the Royal Corps. So it's a place that can be used as a place of trial. (Talivi)

"Then what are we waiting for, let's go?" said Carifey anxiously, because now they should have surpassed the Barons' progress, and if they didn't hurry up now, they might be overtaken soon. Sinya and Talivi also agreed to go to the Huanlai Resort, because there was only one place else that could be the Fuding Farmers' Trade Center, and it would not be a big deal to go to one place or the other.

"You're lucky that you don't need a ticket to enter the Hurai Resort now, but please don't destroy any of the facilities or take any souvenirs inside. "Although the Huanlai Resort is closed, there are still people standing guard at the ticket office and behind the door, after all, there are still people who need to watch over it to prevent criminals from sneaking in.

Although Sinya and the others entered the Huanlai resort area smoothly, there was also a question, that is, why did they come in so easily? In the previous trial, either someone entertained them and said that there was something to be done, or the person in charge took them directly, but this time they just let them go, but did not say anything.

You know, Huanlai Resort is not small, it is one of the largest areas in the city, even if the five of them come separately to find it, it will take 1-2 hours to find, and I don't know what the puzzle will be like, whether it is in a box, or just a graffiti, after all, there have been simple paintings as puzzles, maybe the next puzzle is still a painting.

"Wait... Which clock do you see!""11:45?But it's already afternoon, what...""Oh no, there's a countdown, let's spread out and look for anything!!"

When Sinia and the others entered the resort, they found a very obvious clock, placed on an iron pillar not far from the entrance. And the time shown on it was completely different from the current time, and Tarevi knew that it was actually a countdown, which was the same as a puzzle, so they had to hurry up and find the clue.

There were other people in the resort, but they weren't challengers, they were staff, they were all clown-masked, and no matter what Snia asked, the clown-masked staff didn't answer, as if they hadn't heard.

As the minutes ticked by, Snia and the others still hadn't found any possible clues. Suddenly, the radio in the stadium sounded the alarm of 'Jingle Bell', and just when Snia and them didn't know why, the staff wearing clown masks suddenly took out iron rods and began to chase Snia and them, Snia and they had no choice but to escape.

"Wow wow... What's going on?" "Wait... Wait, can you explain first, why are you chasing me?" "Mom, run..."Everyone was chased, but they were only chased by the staff who saw Snia nearby, and the others who didn't see it remained in place, but when Snia and they approached, those staff would immediately join the chase, and the staff who were chasing before would not return, but continued to pursue, and everyone fell into a panic in an instant, and the atmosphere in the resort immediately became terrifying.

"Why, all of a sudden, it's so terrifying!" "Wait? horrible... The fear of being 'hunted' by a clown... Fear... You hold them back, I'm going to the haunted house!" "When is it, you still want to play a haunted house adventure?" "Trust me, the answer is inside!!" "Be quick, I won't last long!"

Kalifi and Tarevi bump into each other, and Kalifi's inadvertent mention of the word 'horror' seems to make Tarevi think of where the puzzle is hidden.

It's scary, haunted house!
