Chapter 7 Night Shift
"Let's go, get out of the car. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info," said Royassen.
Shi Yuan did not hesitate or object, and immediately made a movement to get up, but suddenly stopped and his eyes widened. He jerked out the pages of the book he had just found, and his hands trembled slightly.
"What's wrong?" Royassin asked.
"There is an omission!"
"What omission?" Luo Yasen had already gotten out of the car, but at this time, he leaned in and looked at the page with Shi Yuan.
On the back of the page, a red mark outlines a diagram of the clock face, surrounded by a line that circles the clock face twice, with an arrow pointing in a clockwise direction, with the two hands of the clock pointing straight up.
Luo Yasen looked at it carefully again, and did not see anything wrong.
"Look here." Shi Yuan pointed to the top of the clock.
"Huh?" Luo Yasen finally understood what Shi Yuan meant. Although this clock face looks the same as an ordinary clock face at first glance, the number at the top is not 12 of an ordinary clock, but 0, but it is written in a somewhat crooked way, and if you don't look carefully, you may be wrong.
"What does that mean?" Although Royasen could see the difference in numbers, he didn't perceive any effect on it.
"The number twelve is at the top of the normal clock face, but this one is zero, which should mean that this mission starts at midnight, not when we arrive in Gravel Town at a random time."
"But even that isn't a big deal, we've just received a text message and a map, and we don't have anything to lose if we start now."
"But if we had discovered this earlier, we wouldn't have come here so early."
"Even if you don't arrive in Gravel Town so early, at most you will stay in Dark Raven Ridge Village to prepare, you should ...... Nor is there anything ...... The difference ......" Luo Yasen said as he spoke, and he also felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what was wrong, and his tone gradually weakened.
"I can't say for sure right now, but there's definitely something wrong with that."
"For now, let's complete this mission first, and if we have the opportunity, we'll analyze it."
"Okay." Shi Yuan said, and then got out of the car.
Tu Xue'er didn't get out of the car with them, which was also Shi Yuan's arrangement. After locking the car door, Luo Yasen and Shi Yuan walked forward while checking the map.
"There's a very noticeable red dot on the map, just nearby, and it's supposed to be where one of the items is." Royasen said.
"Zoom in on the map and make it the biggest."
Luo Yasen did as he was told, but was surprised to find that the location of the red dot was Xinyao Pharmacy.
"Looks like we're going to have to go again." Royasen said.
"Hmm." Shi Yuan agreed, but he had already walked over to Xinyao Pharmacy.
They didn't notice that next to the locked car behind them, a black-and-white photograph-like figure suddenly appeared, which in the dark night, it didn't look so abrupt, but it was still full of weirdness.
It was only two seconds after the figure appeared, and then vanished, and when it reappeared, it was in the car.
Tu Xue'er had already fallen into a deep sleep, lying on her side in the seat behind her, her body rising and falling slightly with her breathing.
On the face of the humanoid, there are two ethereal eyes, like two small black holes, faintly seem to be turning, and the mouth is always wide open, bottomless.
The human form suddenly vanished.
The ups and downs of Tu Xue'er's body stopped.
Luo Yasen's car was originally parked near Xinyao Pharmacy, and this time he got out of the car and quickly determined the direction, and came to the door of the pharmacy in less than three minutes, only to find that the staff of the pharmacy rushed out, and at this time they had all changed their white coats, and walked away talking to each other in their respective casual clothes.
"They're changing shifts?" Royasen said.
Even in such a small town, it is not unusual for pharmacies to be open 24 hours a day, but the zero shift is not very convenient for the staff of two shifts. But the current situation does look very much like a shift change.
"Good." Shi Yuan said.
"How?"
"If there's a new staff member to take over, we might be able to get some information."
Shi Yuan's heart was always full of doubts about the bloodstains he saw on the floor of the pharmacy that day.
The shape of the blood stains was like "rubbing" or "smearing" on the ground, but the force of the smear was unusually light. If Tang Juan was killed by someone, then the blood stain should be that person who dipped a handkerchief or something like that in the flesh and smeared it on the ground with a very light but fast movement after killing her, but what is the point of doing so? The bloodstains did not form any specific patterns or words, and although they covered a large area, the color was lighter than that of ordinary blood, and it seemed to be mixed with a certain amount of water, and it was relatively scattered, and no large blood stains were formed.
But even then, there shouldn't be a situation where no one notices. The people in this pharmacy are indifferent to the disappearance of their colleagues, and they don't seem to care about the blood stains in the pharmacy, which is a bit unreasonable. However, the indifference of colleagues just did not help Shi Yuan to find the truth, and it was not something that Shi Yuan was particularly concerned about.
How did those traces of blood end up on the ground?
For this question, Shi Yuan is definitely not just curious, he wants to find out the cause of Tang Juan's death, he feels that Tang Juan's death is somehow related to everything he is currently experiencing, as long as he continues to investigate step by step, Shi Yuan believes that he will eventually find a way to leave the Dark Crow Ridge Village.
Get out of here......
Thinking of this, Shi Yuan's face also changed slightly, these changes did not escape Luo Yasen's eyes, he immediately thought of Shi Yuan's thoughts, and at the same time, he also thought of what Shi Yuan had just whispered in the car.
"When zero o'clock comes, will it ......?"
Shi Yuan didn't say anything at the time, but Luo Yasen knew that what he wanted to say was that when zero o'clock came, would he be transferred back to Dark Raven Ridge Village by some kind of force again, if not, would it mean that he could leave here freely and no longer need to find any pages.
But now, the zero hour has passed, and Shi Yuan seems to have forgotten this topic and devoted all his attention to the new task. However, Luo Yasen knows very well that Shi Yuan has definitely not forgotten. As for why he didn't mention it again, Luo Yasen couldn't answer.
Although the brains of the two people had been thinking, there was no pause under their feet, and they had already stepped into the door of the pharmacy at this time.
After the shift change, there were only two clerks left in the pharmacy, perhaps because of the night shift, but Shi Yuan felt that this was the number of clerks that this pharmacy should have.
Hearing the door knock, a female clerk raised her head, and her originally listless face suddenly glowed.
"Two handsome guys, what kind of medicine should you buy?"
