Volume 3: The Eternal Kingdom Chapter 174: Clocks and Grimaces

Li Sheng and Meng Lei soon came to the end of the living room, and a very spacious door appeared in front of them, but this strange design made Li Sheng a little confused, generally according to the normal design, the back of the living room should be designed as a corridor or a guest room, and now there is a living room at the back of the living room, this strange operation is really unpredictable!

"It's... What are these things?" When Meng Lei pushed open the door in front of him, his calm face changed drastically because of the shock, and under the rendering of the gray light outside through the paper window, he saw many creepy figures appear in front of them, and they stood motionless and straight, as if they had been waiting for the review of Li Sheng and Meng Lei, the two "generals".

This room is particularly "clean", just like a rough room built by the palace, the whole huge space has not been decorated, there are no utensils, not even a chair, a table is not placed, there is only one thing left in the whole huge space: the neatly arranged paper figures "Xizi" are distributed throughout the room, they are all unified black and white pink heads, the head is tightly covered with colorful Peking Opera crowns, the whole body stands straight, and the right hand is holding a long drama knife.

Their figures and clothes are basically the same, but there are certain differences in their whitewashed heads, some of them play very vicious, looking like villains, while some of their whitewashed heads are very elegant, like scholars, and these forty or fifty plays with very peculiar decorations and figures stand around Li Sheng and Meng Lei, like giant black ants completely surrounding the two of them.

The curious Li Sheng immediately came to the front of one of the actors, only to see him stretch out his right hand and grope on the body of the silver Guan Dao, and accidentally grazed his thumb over the blade of the Guan Dao in front of him, and a tiny scarlet blood mouth immediately appeared on his thumb.

"Meng Lei! Things are a little wrong! Their knives don't seem to be props, I have a bad premonition, we have to get out of here quickly and go straight through!" Li Sheng subconsciously observed his injured thumb, he didn't know what a problem came to mind, his face changed suddenly, he shouted anxiously at Meng Lei, and immediately quickened his pace and rushed forward.

Why do these paper figures carry with them a real knife that can sharpen iron like clay? Don't tell Li Sheng, this is just to make the performance more realistic in Peking Opera, and there is only one explanation for this anomaly...... The drama cast by these paper figures was placed in this room, certainly not to please Li Sheng and Meng Lei and make them appreciate it, but to .....

At the moment when Li Sheng turned around, in the dim light, I saw that the black-and-white drama beside Li Sheng just now had his eyes spinning, and it still locked his gaze on Li Sheng's back who had begun to move, but this action was so small that not only Li Sheng, but even Meng Lei didn't notice it in the slightest!

When Li Sheng and Meng Lei walked quickly through layer after layer of drama molds, wanting to leave here quickly, although the whole room was not small, but Li Sheng and their movement speed was very fast, and soon they encountered a red door in front of them, Li Sheng finally breathed a sigh of relief when he looked at this door, no matter what kind of demons and monsters these dramas are, as long as they can get out of here as soon as possible, at that time, even if they become Godzilla monsters or super aliens, they have no way to take themselves.

But the reality is always so cruel, this door was locked on it by a huge yellow latch at this time, which instantly dragged Li Sheng and Meng Lei's hearts into the cold ice cellar, but things did not reach the worst time, because just when Li Sheng and Meng Lei were a little anxious, there was a sudden sound of ding dong ding dong in the whole room, this sound appeared very slowly, but the sound was particularly loud, and every mechanical knock sound seemed to hit their hearts.

"It's .... The clock just now!" Li Sheng said to Meng Lei in shock after listening carefully twice, this kind of dingdong sound is estimated to be heard by anyone who comes now, just like the kind of mechanical sound emitted by the school's huge clock when it reaches the hour, but at this time, it is as if there is a god of death striking the deadly clock.

At the moment when the sound of the clock came out, there was a terrifying creak in the entire room, like the sound of something moving its body, and dozens of such sounds were superimposed, making the whole room suddenly become noisy.

"Meng Lei, it looks like we've fallen into a trap!" Li Sheng's face had changed drastically, he was leaning against the wooden door behind him, staring at the front with a serious face, and cold sweat couldn't stop flowing from his neck to the bottom of his body!

This kind of creaking sound filled the entire room, which was particularly obvious, it was the sound of dozens of paper figures in front of Li Sheng starting to turn their bodies, only to see countless paper actors spin their entire bodies in the direction of Li Sheng, holding a silver-white Guan knife in their hands and slowly approaching in front of Li Sheng and Meng Lei.

"Fortunately, I brought the Buddha beads with me, I knew that things were not so simple!" At this time, Li Sheng and Meng Lei were completely forced into a corner by them, but Li Sheng was not carried away by the panic, I saw that he slowly grabbed the Buddha beads covered by his body in his hands, waiting for the arrival of these terrifying plays.

However, the Buddha beads are still undiminished, at the moment when the first drama knife slashed at Li Sheng's face, I saw Li Sheng put the Buddha beads forward, and the golden light that erupted directly turned the drama in front of him into ashes, and the golden light did not stop, and the two grimace dramas behind him turned into ashes.

However, these paper figures were completely emotionless, unaware of the fear of the slaughtering machine, Li Sheng's terrifying blow did not stop the footsteps of the other paper figures, just the moment the previous drama fell, the other grimace actors continued to fill the gap in their encirclement with mechanical steps.

From another point of view, Li Sheng would rather face a group of heinous bad people at this time than face this group of emotionless killing machines, at least the former knows that fear and a sense of pity will make them stop their actions, but these grimaces are different, they only have one goal in their eyes - to cut off the heads of the two people in front of them!

But the good news is that Li Sheng and Meng Lei's inventory is still very sufficient, in the face of the huge army of paper people, they have to pull out the Buddha beads on their bodies one string after another, Li Sheng whenever he takes off a string of Buddha beads, his face is full of pain, he would rather throw boxes of gold bars outside, than throw his Buddha jewels out, the former can only make his life rich, and the latter is a life talisman to get rid of.

Every time a Buddha bead is used here, it means that in the unknown danger behind, there is one less guarantee to save your life!

Just when Li Sheng was about to completely turn the last wave of paper figures into ashes, there was another dingdong, dingdong

The whole room rang again with the bell, but the whole space was dragged into calm again, but the traces of the battle in the room and the number of paper figures that had become very sparse all confirmed how tragic the battle just now was, Li Sheng looked down at the number of Buddha beads that had begun to thin on his body, and the whole person had an indescribable sense of distress, these are all the flesh of Li Sheng's heart!

"Li Sheng, look, the door behind you has opened!" Just as the bell rang again, Meng Lei suddenly found that the locked deadbolt behind him had opened by itself inexplicably, and they could finally leave this ghost place!

"Damn, it's really like this again!" At the moment when Meng Lei pushed the door open, Li Sheng's angry scolding couldn't help but erupt directly, because the scene presented in front of Li Sheng and Meng Lei at this moment was exactly the same familiar living room.

At the moment when Li Sheng's words ended, the familiar clock ticking sounded again, and this time the source of the sound was behind the ink screen, and when Li Sheng's body crossed the screen, a familiar desktop clock appeared in front of him again.

"We seem to have entered a strange cycle! Later, it may be..."Meng Lei couldn't help frowning when he saw the familiar scene, he explained the worst situation in calm words, and it could be seen from the large sweat stains on his forehead that his mood had also fallen to the extreme at the moment.

"No, Meng Lei, look! The time on the clock has changed!" Just as Meng Lei spoke, Li Sheng curiously leaned his face in front of the clock and stared, but suddenly turned around and said in surprise to Meng Lei.

After listening to Li Sheng's words, Meng Lei hurriedly leaned over to the clock, the hour hand at this time had indeed changed its position, and the needle had come to six o'clock in the morning, Meng Lei clearly remembered that the hour hand was facing three o'clock in the morning at the beginning, this change would definitely not be a coincidence, it seemed to indicate that something was happening, or.... What information is being shown about them!
