Chapter 21: Four Boxes
Because the steps were very short, Ye Hong stepped up the three steps step by step for convenience, and about half an hour later, the three of them arrived at the flat ground. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
This is a dark room, the ceiling is very low, Ye Hong can reach it with his hand. The only source of light comes from a candle overhead. The candlestick was large, obscuring most of the light, and was held in mid-air by four chains that extended from all four directions. Directly below the candlestick is a dark red square table with four boxes on the table. These are four rectangular wooden boxes, with patterns at the opening and closing that Ye Hong cannot recognize. The boxes are neatly arranged in two rows.
On the wall behind the table are three hanging pendulum clocks, the three hands of which have stopped, and the metal frame is rusty.
"You see, these three bells stop at different times!" Song Ye's surprised voice sounded.
Indeed, the hands of the first clock stopped at 2:15:05, the second at 8:06, and the third...... The hand of the third clock has fallen off, and the hour and second hands are left to look at the length, the hour hand points to four a little past, and the second hand points to three, I don't know what time it is.
"These three times, could it be that they are hinting at something?" Lao Hei, who was standing on the side, spoke, "There are three of us here, and there are three bells here, does the time when the bell stop represent ......?" ”
"So, which of us corresponds to which clock?" Ye Hong had already thought of this, and Lao Hei's words deepened his trust in this idea, but he didn't know which time he would correspond to. If the time on these clocks is the time of their respective deaths, are they certain to die, or is there a way to crack it? Thinking about it, Ye Hong's gaze fell on the four boxes on the table. Will the cracking method be hidden in these four boxes?
"Shall we open these boxes and take a look?" Song Ye proposed.
"Did you notice that we got here so smoothly that there wasn't even a ghost on the road except for the laughter in the middle, what if the box was a sealed ghost?" Lao Hei vetoed the idea, "Let's be cautious." ”
"I don't think so, if you don't open the box, you're likely to die, and if you open it, you probably won't die." Ye Hong stepped forward and walked to the table, "If you are afraid, you can stay away." I'll open these boxes. ”
Seeing that the two of them didn't say anything more, Ye Hong acquiesced to their actions, and reached out to open the box closest to him, which contained a roll of black wide adhesive tape.
In the process of Ye Hong opening the first box, nothing happened.
The second box contains a hammer.
These boxes look exquisite, why are they filled with something inexplicable? It's like some everyday tool. Is it a hint? But what does all this have to do with saving lives? These are amulets?
The third box contained a nail.
"This nail is similar to the nail that sealed the door just before it was opened!" Song Ye recognized this kind of nail with sharp eyes.
"Shall we reseal that door?"
"How can a nail be enough. Besides, you've all gouged off the side of the nails. Ye Hong continued to open the fourth box, which contained a small glass bottle containing a pill-like thing. What is it? Did you eat an elixir that would stop the ghost from approaching? Or is it a medicine that heals a wound after an injury?
At the same time that Ye Hong completely opened the fourth box, Song Ye, who was standing closest to the staircase, let out a terrible scream, leaned back and rolled down the stairs. Please enter the text
