Chapter 218: The Broken Watch
.
The shadow overflowed from the palm of his hand, melting the blackened man under his eyes into a real shadow, and he had to return all the darkness lost in the shadow space.
Although Bill is familiar with this, the whole process is carefully carried out under the watchful eye of an unknown lifeform hidden in the darkness, and he can fight back at any time if Bill finds out that it is about to snatch it.
The sound of shadow insects gnawing through the stone chamber sounded densely, Bill's shadow power was compensated, and the cracks in the shadow space were completely healed, and he got up to check the cold light source hanging on the surrounding walls.
Since there is no way to take what Old Cliff created for the time being, he has to check the surrounding environment first and continue to look for a breakthrough.
An eerie shreddling sound echoed in the darkness, and as Bill approached the cold light source, he saw the black candle placed in the transparent glass cover, the white flame writhing its body, and the white light reflected on his face did not carry any temperature, and felt more chilly than the part that was not illuminated by the candlelight.
And the range of light it can illuminate is very limited, only half the illumination range of ordinary candlelight, Bill removed the glass cover and took a closer look at what the black candle is made of.
"It's true that the flame has no temperature at all, but it lowers the temperature of the surroundings. ”
After reconfirming, Bill took off his gloves and touched the black candle and felt a hint of strangeness, this black candle was like frozen wax oil ice cubes, and the wax oil flowing down was more like the feeling of ice water mixture.
"Amazing, where did these wizards get their props, why doesn't Williams have wizard props in his hands. ”
"Do you really want to go to the witch village around Brittus again, there must be more secrets hidden there that I don't know. ”
Bill plucked the black candle and threw it into the shadow space, since it wasn't a regular item, maybe he could exchange it for something in the shop in the witch village, after all, the primitive method of bartering had never disappeared.
Soon there was only one last cold light source left in the stone room, and in order to see more clearly, Bill picked up the lampshade and began to examine the wooden shelves that bound his hands and feet, and the steel nails that nailed him to the ground.
The immobilization of the steel spikes had the same effect as the witch doll left behind by the masked woman, an object that Bill was also curious about, and he picked up the nails scattered on the ground, feeling déjà vu, but he couldn't remember seeing such a tool made of stone.
Before it was clear, Bill pulled the nail back into the shadows, saw that there was nothing else worth discovering, and walked with the lantern to the closed door.
The door was locked on the outside, but it wasn't a small nuisance that didn't bother Bill.
He quickly used the key made by the shadow to leave the stone chamber, only to find that the wind outside the stone was swaying from side to side at an extremely irregular speed, and there were two equally dark passages on the left and right in front of him, dividing the road into two.
"Tsk, it's really troublesome, and it's not a fork in the road in life......"
"In which direction will Cheryl be waiting for me?"
Taking a deep breath, Bill's gaze continued to explore in both directions, but both sides brought him an ominous feeling, and even his sight and thoughts seemed to be sucked into the boundless darkness, bringing a sense of vertigo.
He shook his head sharply, retracting his deeper-looking gaze.
"None of them seem to be safe exits. ”
"Hey, no matter which direction it is, it's the most correct direction in my life, after all, such an important sister can't be abandoned. ”
"I still have something to ask her. ”
The sound of the heel striking the slate was crisp and regular, and only Bill was still facing the lamp in the dim corridor, allowing the candlelight to leak into the darkness in front of everyone......
I don't know how long it took, but it was at least the length of time that Bill was tired of, and he looked up at the mechanical watch, only to find that the hand stopped at midnight and could not be turned.
Before Bill could check why the mechanical watch had stopped turning, a faint sound suddenly came from a distance, and he immediately quickened his pace!
The unpredictable figure sped through the tunnel, and his vision stretched farther away, and he gradually saw a crazy figure violent, and as the distance continued to shorten, the figure became clearer.
Is that......
Bill recovered from a safe distance, walked slowly to the place where the sound came from, and pretended to meet by chance, not seeing what he had done in the dark.
"John, why are you here, what are you doing?"
"Bill, it's you!"
"Oh my God, are you trapped here, too!"
John's tone from the darkness quickly changed from doubt to delight, and if it weren't for the sight of the hammer he had secretly hidden, even Bill would have thought he was happy to see him.
Avoiding John's embrace, Bill sees that Boss Fett is also there, but he is lying on the ground, still trapped in a nightmare.
There was also a smell of blood all around, although it was not strong, and Bill was very sensitive to it, and John hid his target in the dark, but he couldn't escape Bill's eyes at all.
"Tell me how you got here, I don't want to listen to. ”
"Hey, Bill, we're old friends, you don't have to be so cold to me, and now we're still partners, I'll help you do things, and you'll help me too......"
"Aren't you supposed to stay in the living room to make a fire, why are you here with Boss Fett?"
Bill interrupted John, except that he was no longer as timid and afraid as before, and that his trembling and talkative problem had not been corrected, and that he was an easily annoying fellow.
"Oh yes Bill, I really should have explained to you how my boss and I got here, I don't really know about it......"
"I just lay quietly on the couch and waited for my partner to come back to the villa, and the rest of the work was just to add firewood to the fireplace, and then, for some reason, a crack suddenly appeared under me and my boss, and it all fell off. ”
John scratched his head innocently, his words full of sincerity, revealing Bill's familiar smirk.
But whether he's really stupid or not, Bill knows very well.
"What did you encounter?"
"This ......"
"It's pitch black all around, I can't see anything, so I've been staying where I am with my boss, Bill, where did you find this lamp, how do you feel cold......"
Glancing at the sloppy John, Bill decided not to expose his concealment first, but instead took another candle from the darkness and handed it to him.
"How long have you been here, have you brought a watch?"
"You mean pocket watches...... Oh, to see the time, I remember the boss had a watch on him. ”
John fumbled in the arms of Boss Fett, and quickly took out a delicate bronze openwork gold leaf pocket watch and handed it to Bill, not caring about the request to see the time.
It's just that Bill opened his pocket watch and frowned again.
"Boss Fett's pocket watch, when did it break?"
