"I heard the bell ringing...... "At this moment, I suddenly heard someone calling to me.

The witcher turned around suspiciously, and found that it was the masked woman.

The girl in the blindfolded mask stood in the middle of the hall. Through the subtle gaps in the mask, the blood-red color of the pupils can be faintly seen.

She was dressed in the white gauze dress, and stood quietly looking at the witcher.

The hall is also flooded with light due to the return of the weather.

"Ah, it's you. The witcher walked up to her in a good mood and couldn't help but feel a little grateful, "Thank you for giving me a hint." ”

"Nope. The girl shook her head, and the expression under the mask on her face seemed rather subtle: "Sir, you...... It seems that something has been misunderstood. Although this is fine, it has already been said, don't ring the bell at twelve o'clock at midnight. ”

"Uh......" Canette's expression stiffened a little when she heard her say this, and she couldn't understand the point of the girl's speech at all: "But, it's obvious that it's back to normal now." ”

"So, that's fine. The girl's tone sounded regretful: "The darkness just now comes from the shadows summoned by the midnight bell and buried under the ruins of the entire memory. Other words...... Just now, the depths of the ruins of memory were not so dangerous. ”

"Uh...... Knight was stunned for a moment, "Wait, that means that state is actually convenient for going down? No—why did you come here? and do you know what's going on with that Black Mirror?"

"What do I ...... The first time the bell rang, it was not known who rang it. At that time, I went back to the office to check, but I couldn't find anyone. The girl whispered as she walked up the steps and stood beside Cannet, the hem of her skirt fluttering slightly in the wind: "The magic mirror in the machine room...... I wasn't there some time ago. This landmark itself will change a lot over time...... I left the key at that time, and it looks like you picked it up. ”

In fact...... Lusha must have picked it up.

For some reason, looking at the blindfolded mask, the witcher suddenly felt a little flustered: it always felt a little familiar...... What's going on?

"How do you have the key?" Feeling more and more strange, Canette couldn't help but ask.

"I ...... There is nowhere to go. That's why I live in the bell tower and manage the organ room. If no one energizes the gears, it won't be able to spin forever. The bell tower itself relies on the operation of the bell to suppress the shadows. If you stop...... It's going to be bad. The girl said this, as if her expression was a little worried: "Suddenly, one day, when I went out, I found a black mirror there...... It's annoying. It took a lot of effort to make it ignore me. ”

Just now, the three of them were in too much of a hurry to inspect the room: under the counter of the clock in the organ room, it could be removed by a hidden lever.

That's where the girl lives.

The appearance of Black Mirror is very strange. Because if what the girl said is true, this is what someone else put - no, unlikely. This is supposed to be a defense facility that appeared as a result of the changes in the clock tower. After all, everything in the ruins of memory is constantly changing, and there will be small changes in landmarks.

Did you become the manager of the clock tower because you were homeless...... Canette began to think about it seriously: then it was no wonder that he knew about the mechanism by which the clock tower released the shadows.

"Why do you have to stop your watch at midnight and ring the bell?" the witcher couldn't help but question again.

"I don't know. I'm just a borrower. Over here...... It won't be long before it will be completely swallowed up by the shadow of the ruins of memory. The girl replied quietly, pacing slowly forward a few steps, and looking up at the huge bell by the railing: "Every landmark has a way of releasing shadows. In order to go deep into the landmarks during that time without worrying about too many shadows...... I just stumbled upon a way to belong to this bell tower. ”

"Most people don't care about this kind of thing...... Casting shadows on one's own plane usually doesn't do any good. There's no need to go down into the depths of the landmark......" The silver-haired girl muttered quietly, her tone becoming a little suspicious. At this point, she took a few steps forward again, seemingly genuinely distraught. And just as she was about to ask something, Canette suddenly lost the figure of the masked woman from her field of vision.

"Huh?" The witcher panicked for a moment, but luckily the girl walked back like that, and the figure slowly reappeared.

"The intersection of time and space between the two of us doesn't seem stable this time. The witcher understood what was happening and smiled bitterly.

So, after the girl walked a little farther away, she went out of the intersection. So I can't see anyone.

"Hmm. The girl nodded, and stood closer to the witcher, as if afraid of the intersection of time and space fluctuating again: "That...... Sir, how the hell did you get here? ”

"Call me Canette. Seeing that there was no Lusa's summoning charm on the ground, the witcher was also very worried about this, so he decided to talk to this girl who seemed to be very friendly: although he inexplicably felt that the half of his face was a little scary. It's as if I have horrible memories related to this.

In addition, the whole thing made him feel a little chill in his heart: he had just planned to see what commission the gray-haired man was going to give, but now it was good......

"That'...... Call me Elina. The girl's mask, which didn't cover her mouth, made her smile: "Mr. Cannett, I'm here with a friend." What happened to the teleportation?"

"Someone pulled me, and when the teleportation was complete, I found myself not in the Tower of Remembrance, but in the ruins. At the mention of this, Canette was bitter: "Because the Tower of Remembrance is too far away, I asked you for directions and went to the church." ”

"That's right. When Ellina heard this, she didn't seem to react: "Did you notice that someone rang the midnight bell after that......"

...... Although this midnight is just judged by the chiming clock.

"I don't understand it at all. The witcher was puzzled and couldn't help but complain, "Who would do such a thing?"

“...... Before, there must have been other people who were also shrouded in shadows in their time and space. That's the bell ringer—and you've been pulled into his plane, and I'm afraid it's still overlapping. Elina's tone was extremely flat, but she seemed to be thinking about a lot of things: "However, an important space like the Trap Room is common to all planes. ”

No wonder it was so bright in the room...... Doesn't seem to be corrupted by the Shadows.
