It's been exactly a full year since the last "Weird Talk".

However, the day before he said he was going to the bell tower, Mr. Black and White seemed to have a very important urgent matter that needed to be dealt with immediately.

Afterwards, it is also necessary to personally travel to the highest peak of the Holy City, the council district, to participate in the relevant meetings.

Therefore, he could only write a handwritten letter and let Han Dong hand it over to the [Clocker] alone.

With the opening of the bottom door of the bell tower.

After the teams registered in this month's batch entered one after another, Han Dong quietly approached the clockman standing at the door.

When looking at this clockman wearing a swirl mask and dressed in a strange costume, there was always a 'sense of loss' that made Han Dong feel confused and unrestrained.

The clockman stared at the crow seal on the letter, which belonged to Mr. Black and White, and waved his hand lightly to signal Han Dong to follow.

Click......

With the sound of various gears turning, Han Dong and the clockman shared a moving space, and continued to transfer in the bell tower.

It is rumored that there are 10,080 different rooms in the bell tower, which are constantly changing.

The specific structure and operation of the bell tower can only be controlled by the [Clockmaster] in the entire Holy City...... Even if it were to be invaded, it would not be possible to invade the core room of the bell tower.

With the absolute protection of the bell tower, the gate of destiny is safe.

Click......

Arrive at the very top floor of the Clock Tower.

The panoramic glass installed here overlooks the whole of the Holy City.

It is also the private office of the clockman.

Step into the white-ringed desk and remove your mask.

An incomparably delicate woman's face was revealed, which made Han Dong a little confused for a while, whether this clockman could be classified as a [human] person.

After all, this face is too delicate to find any flaws at all.

Through her pupils, she could see the delicate internal joints and rotating gears, and it seemed that it was this mechanical brain that allowed her to become one with the bell tower that was so responsible, and to understand the internal operation patterns.

Regarding the fact that the clock man revealed his true face, Han Dong was really unprepared at all, and he was a little stunned.

The clockman didn't care about Han Dong's eyes, and raised his hand a little mechanically, brushing his long golden and silky hair behind his ears.

Begin to carefully read the letters written to her by Mr. Black and White.

It seems that in addition to Han Dong's private affairs, the letter also recorded a separate message to the clocker.

As he finished reading the last word carefully, the clock man showed a rare smile and looked up at Han Dong at the same time.

"The matter of you going to the destiny space alone is still handled as a 'private matter'.

Don't mention it to anyone, your transcript will be put into a regular team afterwards, and don't say anything if asked. ”

"Hmm."

"Wait a minute...... Wait until the whole army is in, and then you go down.

Although the clock tower is controlled by me, the council also has means of surveillance. ”

"Okay."

Han Dong sat on a single chair, and the atmosphere was slightly awkward.

After all, I am completely unfamiliar with this clock, and I don't know how to talk to him.

After a while, the clockman took the initiative to ask, "Why do you want to enter alone?" Wasn't it great that you beat Weird Tales perfectly last time as a squad? ”

"I just want to train my personal skills."

"Well, it does, after all, Mr. White used to be like that......

If you can get up a day earlier, you can also take some of the pressure off Mr. White. He has given so much for the Holy City and humanity. ”

From these words and various details, it can be seen that the relationship between the clockman and Mr. Black and White seems to be very unusual.

At the same time, the two of them also hold important responsibilities in the Holy City that cannot be replaced, and it seems that due to some kind of constraint, there are few opportunities to meet.

"It's almost time, you go straight down the elevator on the side...... Don't delay for any time and step straight through the door of fate. ”

"Thank you, Clockman."

…………

After a year, when Han Dong stepped into the destiny space again, he was holding a card in his hand.

This fate is from the Strange Tales copy.

"Divination Card (Scepter): Gives the wielder permission to snoop on the 'tag'.

When an individual enters the [Image Shop] to select a Destiny Event, they will snoop on the 'Type Label' corresponding to the Destiny Event marker, such as 'Fantasy', 'Curse', 'Monster'.

After using Destiny Cards, the landscape of the Image Store has changed.

The same type of books, VCDs, or game cartridges and CDs are placed on the same shelf.

There are more types than Han Dong imagined.

Of course, it's just a matter of distinguishing between kinds.

Once Han Dong wanted to check the goods on the shelves in detail, they were all covered by a thick fog, and he couldn't check the detailed categories of the goods.

Han Dong paused slightly, "Hmm...... And this sub-category? ”

[Zombie].

Kyushu is the mother country of Handong.

Growing up there, he naturally has also watched zombie movies. It's just that the current state crackdown seems to prohibit the spread of this kind of culture.

Otherwise, Han Dong is really likely to choose this kind of movie, after all, the life of 'stiff' has a uniqueness, and he may be able to get a lot of benefits from it.

【Hell】

Han Dong stopped again, even if this kind of work was covered by the fog, he could still faintly glimpse a color and appearance that was easily covered by 404.

Otherwise, Han Dong could also consider continuing to strengthen Togu, a beaten professional, after all, it could be seen from the conversation with Head Ma Long that Togu's [Purgatory Monk] status was very special.

Investing in Togu is bound to lose money.

Han Dong continued to walk in the video store.

[Panic], [Deep Space], [Secret Room], [Schizophrenia], [Labyrinth]

The deeper you go to the video store, the more niche the classification becomes, and even Han Dong is curious about what kind of literary works some genres correspond to.

Unconsciously, the seemingly small video store was gradually lengthened with the deepening of Han Dong.

Finally, Han Dong arrived at the last showcase.

"Gram ...... What type is this? ”

There were few literary works on the display case, but as Han Dong approached such works, his head was buzzing.

"Why does the Faceless Head have a slight sensition?"

Comprehensive consideration, coupled with intuitive judgment, allowed Han Dong to make a decision within the specified selection time...... Choose a DVD from the least popular category.

In Han Dong's view, the amount of stories that movies can accommodate is smaller than that of books and games, and this one-player copy should not be too difficult as much as possible.

When I put the DVD on the counter, I heard a system sound.

"Do you want to select the current product, check out, and do spatial assimilation?"

"Yes."

With Han Dong's choice, the fog on the surface of the DVD is dispelled, and the content is glimpsed.

"The Mist" - The film is based on Stephen. King's 1980 novella of the same name.
