Volume 2 Mahjong Chapter 49 The Skull Clock and the Red Lantern

Secretly decided, I made my way through the many mahogany bookshelves to the wall at the end of the horror bookstore.

At the end of the horror bookstore, there are two damp red wooden doors.

Looking at these two red wooden doors, I suddenly remembered the wooden doors in the world of resentful spirits.

"In the basement of the villa in the world of resentful spirits, I have encountered many wooden doors, and blood is constantly oozing out between the cracks of those wooden doors, and then I followed Zhou Qitian, and after pushing open one of the wooden doors, I encountered a stone room filled with a lake of blood." I thought about it carefully, and my face was gloomy: "Behind the two red wooden doors in front of me, could there also be a terrifying stone room hidden?" ”

Thinking of this, I twisted my face and resisted opening the two red wooden doors.

"Your strength is weak, so don't act rashly, let's look at other places first." Instead of opening the two red wooden doors, I looked above them.

Above these two red wooden doors, to be precise, on the middle wall above these two wooden doors, there is a black clock nailed to it.

This black clock has a skull-shaped surface, and three blood-red hands stand in its uneven frame.

Ever since I saw these three blood-red hands, I have been drawn to them, and I have not been able to take my eyes off them for a long time.

"This clock is very familiar, I seem to have seen it somewhere, and where have I seen it?" I wrinkled my face tightly and kept recalling the memories in my head.

After a period of hard thinking and meditation, I finally found some clues in my mind: "I once saw this clock in a dream, but it was not a clock at that time, but a black watch that was dozens of times smaller!" ”

"That dream came about after my parents disappeared, and my parents kept reminding me of the time, and then the black watch appeared." I muttered to myself, and sighed bitterly: "At that time, in my dream, I really wanted to see the time marked by the hands, but the three blood-red hands were very sharp, and I only looked at them a few times, and my eyes burst and shed bloody tears, and I couldn't see the time marked in the box at all." ”

I subconsciously pondered the time marked by the hands in front of me, and this time, my eyes did not explode, and I did not shed tears, and I could easily see the location of the three hands.

I saw that one of the blood-red pointers pointed to the number 11, while the other blood-red pointer stopped at the number 12.

As for the blood-red hand at the end, it was clearly a second hand, because this hand was moving in a circular motion, making a "tick-tock" sound.

The night was thick, the bookstore was silent, and the "tick-tock" sound caused by the movement of the second hand suddenly sounded, which was very exciting.

Because the sound of blood dripping next to the wooden platform was also a "tick-tock" sound, the two similar sounds gradually merged, and finally evolved into a terrifying ensemble.

"Judging by the numbers marked on the hands, the time on the clock is eleven o'clock." I hurriedly took out my phone, lit up the screen, and found that the time on the screen happened to be 11 o'clock in the evening.

"The time on the clock is the current standard time, and there is nothing abnormal about it." I sighed, put my phone away, and looked back at the skull clock on the wall.

This clock is so weird, like a dead man's skull, nailed to the wall alive.

When I stared at it, I always felt that it was staring at me, and after staring at it for a long time, I could even hear the silent cry of the skull.

It's a very eerie feeling.

"Since the clock marked the time correctly and there is nothing abnormal, then why did I dream of that black watch?" I've always believed that there is an inexplicable connection between the watch in my dream and the clock on the wall.

"The time marked on the black watch should be very important, alas, but unfortunately I can't see it in my dream, after all, the hands in the watch are so sharp that the momentum on it alone makes my eyes burst." I touched my chin and crossed my arms: "The skull clock on the wall is much gentler, and no matter how I look at it, my eyes don't hurt." ”

Unable to figure out useful information, I had to withdraw my gaze and move away from the two red wooden doors: "Since I can't find useful information now, let's think about it later." ”

Wandering through the mahogany shelves again, I couldn't help but feel a little lonely: "I've seen the basic structure of the horror bookstore, it's time to ......"

Before I could finish speaking, I jerked my head up and looked at the ceiling of the horror bookstore.

If you don't look at it, you will be stunned, and there are countless red lanterns hanging on the vast ceiling.

The red lanterns were close together, and there was not a single gap in the ceiling, so I couldn't see the ceiling for real.

And the strange thing is that there is no wind in the bookstore, but these lanterns move without wind, swaying from side to side, as if there are countless ghosts and ghosts in the store, blowing these red lanterns.

Through the blood-red light, I scrutinized the red lanterns.

I don't know if it's a hallucination, but I vaguely saw a black shadow hidden in these red lanterns.

These black shadows flickered and flickered, as if they were constantly colliding with the red lantern skin, trying to break free from the lantern.

Perhaps it is because of the collision of these black shadows that the red lantern will move without wind!

Witnessing this scene, I suddenly remembered the white giant eggs in the stone room, and the faces of the people in those white giant eggs were also constantly colliding with the eggshells, trying to get out.

"Could it be that these dark shadows are also human faces? They want to break the lantern and get out? "Originally, fear was just a small seed, but when I thought of it, this little seed suddenly sprouted and soon spread throughout my body.

"It shouldn't be a human face, how can the horror bookstore, as a bookstore that is open to the public, create such a big security risk? Aren't you afraid of killing guests with your face? It is estimated that these strange black shadows are all illusions caused by light, such as the alternating shadows of trees in the sun. "Although I think these dark shadows are illusions, I still feel a little uneasy when I look at them a few more times.

"In the vast horror bookstore, except for the miniature bar and the miniature bubble tea shop, the rest of the place is full of weirdness, and I really don't want to manage this bookstore if I don't have a choice." I shook my head and sighed helplessly: "It's not too early, the store will open at eight o'clock tomorrow morning, go back to the rental room and sleep well, I'm too tired today." ”

After a few sighs, I walked to the door.

But I hadn't taken a few steps before I turned around and returned to the two red wooden doors.

Looking at these two red wooden doors, I fell into deep thought: "The doors will open at eight o'clock tomorrow morning, and there may be customers who are not afraid of death to patronize this novel horror bookstore, if there are safety hazards in these two wooden doors, it will not be good, and it may threaten the lives of guests." ”

"If the lives of the guests are threatened, it will bring me a lot of trouble, but in order to ensure the safety of the guests, I would better go in and have a look, and try to eliminate all safety hazards before opening the store."

"And I also have a few hole cards on my body, once I encounter danger in the wooden door, I can not only summon the foreign body Li Yingyang, but also control the pair of ghost nurses to protect me through Li Yingyang."

Although the pair of ghost nurses are just scumbags, I guess it's enough to protect them.

With my mind in mind, I came up with a code of conduct in case I needed it.

With my left hand clutching the mysterious code, I finally mustered up the courage to push open the red wooden door on my left side first.

Creak...... Creak...... Creak......

The red wooden door on the left, damp and worn, made a dull sound as I slowly pushed it open.

As the red wooden door was pushed open, I held the code harder and harder, and if the danger came instantly, I would immediately summon Li Yingyang.

Unfortunately, the danger did not come as expected, and it was obvious that I was overthinking.

Behind this wooden door was a cramped room, which was dark because there were no electric lights.

I leaned against the door and touched the wall of the room with my wrist.

Sail! Boom!

A blood-red light filled the cramped room.

With the light, I was able to see the interior of the room.

It's not so much a cramped room as it is a miniature staff lounge.

Because there is a small upholstered bed in the room, there are some small furniture next to the bed, including small bookshelves, small desks, etc.

Not far from the upholstered cot, there is also an LCD TV.

This LCD TV hangs on the wall, which looks very beautiful and generous.

"The horror bookstore is actually equipped with a staff lounge, which is really convenient, if you are tired of watching the store in the future, you can also come in and lie down, but this staff lounge is too narrow and not suitable for long-term living."

I was relieved to see that there was no danger in the staff lounge: "My nerves are too sensitive, and it stands to reason that the horror bookstore is my home base, and it won't pose danger to me." ”

I put the code back in my bag, then turned off the lights and closed the door, standing outside the two red wooden doors again.

"Inside the wooden door on the left is the staff lounge, but what about the wooden door on the right?" Realizing that there was no danger, I immediately pushed open the red wooden door on the right.

The red wooden door on the right side opened, and a small toilet came into view.

On the side of the toilet by the door, there is a cabinet washbasin, and on the side without the door, there is a white toilet.

On the wall between the white toilet and the sink hangs a storage electric water heater.

This small toilet is also a bathroom with a hot shower.

"Yes, there is a place to sleep and rest, and a place to take a hot shower." I couldn't help but admire.

After admiring it, I closed the red wooden door on the right side, and said with a soothing face: "There are no safety hazards in these two wooden doors, it's time to go back to the rental room and rest." ”

With that, I walked past the many mahogany bookshelves, past the wooden podium in the center of the bookstore, and stood again in front of the glass door of the horror bookstore.

The glass door of the horror bookstore opens on the left side of the bookstore, and if you push open this glass door outside the store, you can see a miniature bar and a miniature bubble tea shop side by side.

After a busy day, I couldn't rest mentally and physically, and endless tiredness welled up in my heart, causing me to yawn several times.

I yawned as I gripped the doorknob and was about to push it out.

But at this moment, I suddenly saw a vague ghost outside the store.
