Chapter 177: The Bell
With the mentality of giving it a try, anyway, I don't have any way now, but to be a dead horse and a live horse doctor.
Jack was watching me when I took it out of my pocket, and before I could take it out, it floated up on its own.
It was wrapped in a handkerchief, and it all ended up in Jack's hands.
He sneered, his expression terrifying.
The face that was okay with a smile suddenly cracked, like the bark of a dry old tree, or the land in a dry time.
There was a pang of discomfort in the hearts of those who watched.
And inside his split face, a layer of flesh could be seen.
It's not the same as humans.
That kind of horrific scene that can only exist in movies is presented to me right now, and I have to face such a devil!
"Let me see, what good things have you hidden, are you using them against me? Or ......"
After opening the handkerchief, see what is inside.
Jack was shocked.
He took two sharp steps back, screamed twice, and then took on a ghostly shape.
A few wisps of grievances appeared behind the legs, both gas and substance.
My scalp tingled when I saw it, and I didn't realize what it was all about.
Jack left without warning, not even what he had just snatched from me, and ran faster than anyone else.
The thing fell to the ground with a loud snapping sound, and I still couldn't hold back my curiosity, anyway, Han Xueying's master didn't say that I couldn't watch it after scaring the enemy away.
I ran to where Jack had been, and I looked around for a long time.
When you are sure that there is really no danger, you dare to come out.
The handkerchief on it has been overturned.
As for what's inside......
I was a little surprised, this thing is not mine, from the person who was given the gift to Jack to Jack to Jack suddenly escaped, it can be seen that he has a very great ability.
After seeing what was inside, I was even more surprised.
The thing inside was nothing else, it was a pocket watch.
This pocket watch looks a little old, and it looks like it has a layer of gold on the outside.
It's just gold-plated, and it doesn't look valuable.
Except for being delicate and quaint, there is no difference between it and ordinary pocket watches.
I wondered why there was such a big reaction after Jack saw his pocket watch.
On the other hand, I have to sigh that Han Xueying's master is simply a god!
He actually knew that I was in such a big trouble this time, and he sent me such a useful thing, if it weren't for these things, I'm afraid I would really die!
On the one hand, I am grateful in my heart, Han Xueying's master, and at the same time, I feel sorry for him, Han Xueying, is his only apprentice, but I didn't protect her.
Now that Han Xueying is missing, my heart is also very uncomfortable, if her master knows, maybe she will blame me.
I've put up with it!
After picking up the pocket watch on the ground, I carefully wrapped it and put it in my pocket.
I still remember what Pan Yang told me before.
Pan Yang said that Jack might be afraid of the bells, or the church bells, and just a pocket watch with walking words, could it be that this has any connection with the church bells?
I had a bold guess that maybe Jack wasn't afraid of church bells, he was afraid of something like a clock.
It could have something to do with his death!
When I was cultivating in the mountains, Han Xueying's master once told me that if a person was stabbed to death by a sword during his lifetime, then it is very likely that he will have a strong resistance to the sword in this life, including when he becomes a ghost.
Unless he was a Juggernaut in his youth and tried to die against others, if not, it would be easy to develop a strong fear of the object that could kill him.
Nowhere is this more evident than in Jack's case.
I don't want to dwell on these things anymore, I have to accomplish the next goals.
Since Jack said that on his own strength, no hostages can be found at all, which shows that the rules given to us by the system can easily mislead us.
He said that we should each of us protect our own hostages, but did not give us the areas and specific arrangements for the hostages.
Secondly, it is Jack's setting, you can't go to the hostages yourself.
He doesn't know where the hostages are, but he can use us streamers to help him find them.
I'd like to know why Jack had to kill all the hostages in these churches.
Although it is clear that it is the setting of the system, I still feel that this matter is not as simple as I imagined.
I decided to take the watch and investigate.
As for the place where the hostages were held, I didn't go again, but walked around the second floor for a day.
Nothing was found.
Pan Yang on the other side saw me so leisurely and reminded me a little angrily.
"You kid, the three of us are fighting in this space, and we're tired and half dead, you can make Jack leave on his own initiative with your fingers!"
I shook my head, "It's hard to say if he actually left, maybe he did it on purpose to show me, didn't you say before that there were rumors about Jack's weakness and part of it?" ”
I didn't pay much attention to hearsay before, but now I regret it a little.
This may not be hearsay at all, but it is real.
Pan Yang continued to say what I wanted to hear.
"By the way, there is also a theory that the reason why Jack is afraid of the bell is that he was tied to it before and tortured to death!"
Hearing him say that, I was even more curious.
Pan Yang continued to talk to me.
"It's just a record, and I don't know what big mistakes he made, but one thing is for sure, Jack is a powerful ghost, you have to be careful."
I spread my hands and pretended to be strong.
"It's okay, I'm used to it, you should worry about your group when you have that time."
"We?"
Pan Yang was a little surprised, and pointed to the two people not far away.
The two of them thought that Pan Yang had something to say, but they actually walked in front of Pan Yang at the same time, which was quite tacit.
It's Tong Shaobin and Guo Qian.
"Knock knock, ding!"
Just as I was about to leave, I actually heard the bell.
I stopped, and when I wanted to inquire again, Pan Yang spoke to me on the other end.
"Li Xiaotian, did you hear the bell?"
When I heard him say this, I felt a strange feeling in my heart.
"Do you mean, do you hear the bell on my side, or the bell on your side?"
Pan Yang said after thinking seriously for a while.
"I don't know."
