Chapter 32: The Curtain of the Century
There are only two glittering green lights left on the clock, and it seems that he still has two more chances, and if he still doesn't enter the exact time of the clock in these two chances, the scene that happens after that may be the scene that the crow wants to see the most.
The time I put the hour and minute hands at three o'clock just now is not correct. The first thing that can be determined is that Long Fei had an accident in the afternoon, but after three years, it is impossible for anyone to remember the specific time so clearly.
Ling Yu tried again, trying to pose as if it were half past three, and suddenly, the green light on the clock disappeared again. It still doesn't look right. What to do now is only one last chance. And when he looked at the time of the watch on his arm, the two-hour countdown was now only five minutes away.
Calm down, now this is the most important thing right now, remember the poker face at all times.
However, Ling Yu is really entangled now, because one thing that cannot be determined is that the time when the hour and minute hands on the clock are to be placed is not the time when Long Fei had an accident, but now the useful clues in his hand are almost all used up except for the photos he found just now.
She closed her eyes, adjusted her breathing, and after remaining calm, she thought carefully about what had happened three years ago.
On that afternoon three years ago, because it was a rest day, Long Fei and Ling Yu were relatively free, and after the two of them had lunch, it was about two o'clock in the afternoon, Long Fei told Ling Yu that the engagement ring was ready to be retrieved by himself, and Ling Yu was waiting at home. After all, this is an engagement ring, and I must personally wear Ling Yu on my hand.
Before leaving, Long Fei told Ling Yu that if he hadn't come back before dinner, he would let Ling Yu go to Aunt Breakfast's stall to eat some first. And I did go to my aunt's breakfast stall to eat. Although the stall is mainly for breakfast, she will also set up a stall every day to sell some extra food, because Ling Yu often goes to that stall, she knows that the aunt of that stall closes the stall on time at four o'clock in the afternoon every day.
At that time, she remembered that after she had eaten something in the stall, she thought that Long Fei should almost come back, so she was strolling around the street while waiting for Long Fei to come back, and at that time, she happened to see her aunt closing the stall while strolling around.
People are sometimes like this, they may not remember a certain point in time, but for some frequent events, they will habitually remember the time point in their minds. Although I can't remember the time when Long Fei had an accident, I remember the time when the breakfast stall aunt closed the stall.
And not long after he watched his aunt close the stall, he received a call from the SWAT team for about ten minutes with his intuition, and he knew that Long Fei had an accident.
Thinking of this, Ling Yu opened her eyes, and once again, she relied on her intuition and her own memory to place the hour and minute hands of the clock on the clock according to the time point in her heart. Sometimes it's like this, when you get something done, you mostly have to rely on your own technical ability, but when you can't do it, you have to rely on your own luck and intuition.
Ling Yu looked at the time she had placed on the clock, ten past four. Although I can't be 100% sure that this answer is correct, this answer is the closest answer I can get after remembering and intuition.
Her eyes were fixed on the green light on the clock, but this time, the green light did not go out, and suddenly, the clock bounced outward, and Ling Yu's eyes were re-reflected with a shadow of fear.
Behind the clock, it turned out to be the time bomb that the crow had hidden in the first place! She looked at the numbers on the bomb, and there were less than two minutes left.
But now there is no place to escape, and if you return along the same road, you will return to the position where you are still the gate of Qingling Ancient City, and there is no way to get out. And there is no other door in this room at all.
Could it be that all this is just the crow's play, and this is what he wants to do to play with himself?
There was still a little more than a minute on the bomb, and it looked like it was really going to be destroyed in the hands of the crows this time. She smiled, thinking that she was going to see Long Fei soon, but she was also happy, after all, the two of them hadn't seen each other for three years.
But at this moment, another bookshelf suddenly made a noise, Ling Yu looked in the direction where the sound came from, the bookcase not far away began to move slowly, when it stopped moving, she saw that behind this bookshelf was a dark passage, she stepped forward and looked into the passage, the scene inside was dark and deep with no end in sight. And where this passage eventually leads, I don't know. Maybe it's hell, maybe it's heaven.
But in any case, this passage was its only option before the bomb exploded.
I can't care so much, I'm dying here anyway, sometimes, I have to believe in my luck, the outline of the passage is not big, and if I want to go forward in it, I have to squat down, squat and walk in it, or crawl forward.
She turned on the flashlight of her phone, looked at the power of her phone, and didn't know how long this channel was, and she didn't know if she could sustain herself out of here.
After entering the passage, she groped in the passage, fortunately, this passage seemed to have only one road, no branch, when she walked for a while, she heard a "bang" behind her, it should be that the time bomb has exploded, but the impact of the explosion did not hurt herself. This really feels strange to me. The power of the crow bomb has been seen by himself, whether it is in the square of Muyun City or the villa of Long Fei before his death, the power of the bomb is almost indestructible. However, he had only walked into the passage for less than a minute, and he had not walked forward in an upright state, so he could not go far at all, but the bomb did not hurt him in the slightest.
After thinking about it, he continued to walk forward, he couldn't remember how long he had walked, but although there was no fork in the road, there were many detours, and after walking for a long time, Ling Yu saw a faint light in front of him, and it seemed that he should not be far from the exit.
Gradually, getting closer and closer to the bright light, the flashlight of the mobile phone is getting weaker and weaker, it should be that the mobile phone is about to run out of battery, Ling Yu turned off the flashlight of the mobile phone, and walked quickly towards the channel of the bright light.
Because he has been squatting and walking in the passage, his legs and feet are really a little numb, and when he walks outside, he can't help but be a little dazzling, it turns out to be a street lamp, and the sky is not yet bright. She stood up, her mind a little dizzy, probably because she had been squatting in the passage for too long.
After waiting for herself to slow down for a while, she turned around and saw that she had come to the back of the Qingling Ancient City, and the huge Qingling Ancient City was still as solemn and grim as before in front of her at this time.
I didn't expect that under the crow's bomb, the appearance of this Qingling ancient city did not get a little damage, I don't know what the specific structure inside is, after the bomb exploded, there was only a slight shock inside, and the appearance was not damaged at all, this Qingling ancient city really made people feel mysterious.
At the same time, he can also see that the crow is indeed not simple, he accurately guessed that he could get out of the Qingling Ancient City within two hours, find the secret passage, and at the same time let the bomb explode, relying on the structure of the ancient city, he could not damage himself at all. Both played with himself and gave himself his life to the next game.
After Ling Yu came out, the crow called again, Ling Yu was used to such rules, she picked up the phone in her hand, and waited for the crow to announce the start of the next game.
"Raven!"
"Congratulations, Miss Ling, you walked out of the ancient city in two hours."
"Less nonsense, is Long Fei's death the work of 'Black Feather'?" Ling Yu asked.
"Didn't you see all the pictures?"
The crow spoke in a tone that seemed to be deliberately provoking Ling Yu.
"Name the next location."
Ling Yu knows the nature of a crow.
"In such a hurry?"
"Say it quickly." Ling Yu was a little anxious. Probably because of Long Fei.
The crow suddenly changed his provocative tone and became serious.
"Three days later, in the Century Cinema, you and I will have a final showdown!"
After the crow finished speaking, he hung up the phone. Ling Yu put away the phone, went not far away, and went to drive.
Behind the Hidden Forest, a figure wearing a crow's mask gradually revealed the outline of his body in the moonlight, and the shadow was elongated under the moon, like a black crow, visible and untouchable. He watched Ling Yu leave not far away, thinking that it was time for the game to enter the final stage. After watching Ling Yu get into the car, he immediately edited a text message to Ling Yu on his mobile phone, perhaps, this may be the last time he sent a text message to Ling Yu.
"Come alone in three days, don't try to call the police, otherwise Muyun City will be shrouded in a large mushroom cloud and become a real 'Muyun City'!"
When he finished texting, he disappeared into the moonlight again.
Ling Yu, who was driving, saw the text message sent by the crow, and it was strange to think that the crow was not long, but he couldn't finish talking to himself at one time when he was on the phone just now, was this a further provocation to himself?
However, although he couldn't figure out what the crow thought, he couldn't help but consider what he said, he had to think about the people in Muyun City, and after three days, it would be the final showdown between himself and the crow.
This duel between the bright and the dark will kick off at the Century Cinema!
