Chapter 1303 Bizarre Murder
"21:27..."
Ji Li looked at the time on the clock, turned his head and looked at the bulging quilt on the bed, and fell into deep thought.
If pushed forward, the door opener should have actively changed the time from 18:01 to 21:02.
The time on the clock does not necessarily conflict with the actual time. The task should be based on the actual time. The time on the clock should only correspond to a certain rule of No. 1414.
Then the person who opened the door deliberately adjusted the clock time to achieve a certain purpose, such as...
Can it sleep on this bed only after "blackjack"?
Ji Li frowned and his eyes were firmly fixed on the quilt. There was a doubt in his heart that was getting more and more magnified.
If he assumes that the person who opened the door is an old ghost living alone, then as the owner of the room, why does it need to adjust the time to fall asleep?
Of course, there are also old ghosts who live alone who have such a habit of being extremely self-disciplined, but obviously this possibility is lower.
Therefore, after Ji Li had always assumed that the person who opened the door was an old ghost living alone, he discovered an even bigger suspicion.
As the ghost walked around the bedroom, his eyes were locked on the other party's soles.
The feet were pale and rough, with bulging blood vessels, clearly showing the appearance of a dead person, but they were definitely not that old.
Then a problem arises.
If the ghost lying on the bed at this moment is not an old ghost living alone, why is it so familiar with No. 1414, and what is its identity?
No. 1414, involves three parties: an old ghost living alone, twin female ghosts, and a mysterious man who dropped his swimming trunks.
The relationship between these three parties is extremely complicated. They have no causal involvement at all, but they all have a relationship in this room.
Ji Li now had to use the elimination method, so he came up with a subversive guess - the person who opened the door was not an old ghost living alone, but a man in swimming trunks.
It entered number 1414 for other purposes, and tampering with clock time was a means to achieve this purpose.
When he thought of this, Ji Li's breathing became cautious, and his palms gently rested on the quilt.
There is a female ghost under the bed and a male ghost on the bed. He stands at the head of the bed and lifts the quilt to get his answer, but at the same time, he may lose his life because of this confusion.
But in the end, he still chose to believe in the abnormal laws of clock time and strengthened his judgment.
Ji Li's mentality had long been numbed by the supernatural and horror. His hands were steadier than those of the best surgeons, and the quilt slowly opened a corner while he was breathing heavily.
A human head full of pus and blood, with ulcerated skin, and a pair of dilated pupils appeared in Ji Li's field of vision, causing both of them to pause for a moment.
Until the breath of the person who opened the door suddenly stopped, he stared into those dead eyes, took a long breath with his mouth open, and then exhaled a long, heavy exhaust gas.
The head had no ears, and pus was leaking out of the ear holes. When it opened its mouth to gasp, there was no tongue. This seemed to be related to a legend from two years ago, but it was different.
But there was no attack. This was Ji Li's first correct judgment.
The dark and thick hair of this festering ghost also means that it is definitely not an old ghost living alone, which is the second correct judgment.
But Ji Li was not excited because things turned out to be more complicated than he expected.
The Festering Ghost is not the third party of No. 1414, but the fourth party. It’s just that the old ghost who lives alone has not shown up yet.
The chaos is still increasing.
The good news is that the Festering Ghost is indeed the owner of the swimming trunks that Ji Li discovered, because at a quick glance just now, he saw that this ghost was also naked, wearing only a pair of swimming trunks.
However, it is now wearing a pair of flesh-colored swimming trunks.
And when Ji Li stretched out his hand from the quilt, Festering Ghost was wrapped in the quilt again, and there was an extra key in his palm.
This key is a cross silver key. It is obviously not the key to unlocking the bathroom, but more like a house key.
Ji Li turned the key in his hand and saw a piece of tape stuck above it with the words "1413" written on it.
The time on the clock points directly to "21.30". Clock time has special significance for number 1414.
What is known so far is "18 o'clock". The Festering Ghost will open the door and enter the room, and adjust the time to "21 o'clock" so that he can sleep peacefully.
But as a non-owner, I don't know what time it will get up. But if you calculate it, it doesn't dare to stay too long, maybe it is "21.30".
In other words, Ji Li still has at least 3 minutes left, and he needs to make a decision during this safe time.
Or, stay in No. 1414 and search for the bathroom key;
Or, go to No. 1413 and investigate the identity of the Festering Ghost.
The former should be enough time and safer because there is a twin female ghost under the bed.
But the disadvantage is that Ji Li may miss further information on Festering Ghost No. 1413, and the next time there is a similar opportunity, he will have to wait until this time tomorrow.
The latter understands the connection between No. 1413 and No. 1414. The relationship between the three ghosts, the old ghost living alone, the rotting ghost, and the twin female ghosts, is of great significance.
But there are many shortcomings. First of all, there is not enough time. Everything inside No. 1413 is unfamiliar, and it is difficult for him to obtain complete information within the limited time limit.
Ji Li only had two seconds to think. Without much hesitation, Ji Li went directly to the clock, opened the case, and turned the minute hand 75 degrees counterclockwise.
Changed the clock time from "21.27" to "21.07".
Clock time rules can be used by ghosts and humans.
Ji Li held Min Min's hand and did not leave immediately. He turned back and stared at the bed. He felt relieved when he saw that there was nothing unusual about the ulcer ghost.
Now he has 23 minutes to investigate No. 1413 and truly understand the secrets between the two rooms and the three ghosts. It should be enough.
He leaned down with a black umbrella, and half of his face appeared under the bed. He saw a lingering female ghost looking at her with half of her face.
The single female ghost seemed to be sealed when faced with the Festering Ghost. No matter what Ji Li did, it didn't react.
He let Ji Li's hand take away the backpack from its side without any intention of stopping it.
But despite its harmless appearance now, before the Festering Ghost entered the door, it even killed the man in black instantly.
Every ghost must be paid attention to. After Ji Li kept this in mind, he walked out of the bedroom with his backpack and black umbrella.
Living room, bathroom, entrance hall, open the door and leave without stopping or hiding.
At least until 21.30, Ji Li is absolutely safe.
When I go out again, the cold wind and moonlight from the outside world come to my body, bringing a brand new breath.
At this moment, Yulao Street was completely silent, with not a single light left on, as if it had become a ghost building.
What kind of horrifying practice were the other nine clerks experiencing in this silent night...
Ji Li didn't know, he was just conducting his own exploration in an orderly manner in a difficult and chaotic situation.
Leaving the dim but safe No. 1414, he stood in front of the door of No. 1413 next door. There will be unknown things inside, and there may be even more unknown dangers.
If the festering ghost in No. 1413 is in No. 1414, will the old ghost living alone be in No. 1413?
This is a bold guess.
Because according to supernatural rumors, the festering ghost in 1413 had been spreading strange rumors about an old ghost living alone before his death.
Its death may have been killed by an old ghost living alone.
So after "blackjack", when the Festering Ghost sneaked into No. 1414 to sleep with an unknown purpose, did the old ghost living alone also sneaked into No. 1413 at the same time to kill?
Are this pair of old ghosts and this pair of neighbors performing "grotesque murders" and "morbid infiltration" every day...
