The sudden restoration of the grandfather clock caught Li Leping and Gu Li by surprise.
What made them even more stressed was that when the second hand of the grandfather clock started to rotate, terrifying figures appeared in the carriage one after another.
The faces and figures of these people are changing from blurry to clear, like mirage-like projections, turning into real people.
What made Gu Li even more frightened was that these people who suddenly appeared all looked like him, and not only were they similar in appearance and body shape, but there were even traces of being corroded by evil spirits on their bodies, as if they were really like him.
Like himself, he has the ability to use folding ghosts, ghost lights, and ghost shadow puppets.
incredible.
Time seemed to be really going backwards with the movement of the grandfather clock, and Gu Li from the past appeared in front of him.
However, looking at these Gu Li appearing in the carriage, both Li Leping and Gu Li knew very clearly that these people who seemed to be Gu Li were just supernatural creatures and did not have any consciousness of living people at all. They were absolutely not human beings.
Maybe he was on Gu Li's side like Li Leping is now.
To put it bluntly, these Gu Li are all on the side of ghosts, and are the products of the grandfather clock's operation.
"Every time the clock turns, a past you will appear, and these you will gradually become clear as time goes by."
Li Leping expressed this conjecture.
This is not groundless speculation, but is based on facts.
Although from this angle, Li Leping could only see the back of the grandfather clock and could not determine the specific condition of the clock, the sound of the clock rotating echoed inside the carriage.
He heard clearly that every second, the sound of the second hand turning would be heard, and the number of Gu Li in the carriage would increase by one.
Therefore, the rotation of the second hand must be closely related to the appearance of these figures.
"If that's the case, then why am I the only one here? What about you?" Gu Li, who was sweating profusely, remained calm and asked doubtfully.
Looking around, he was the only one who appeared here, and there was no other person at all.
Li Leping's eyes were calm: "I am originally a figure that invaded from the past, and I have not completely come to reality. Strictly speaking, I do not exist at this moment, so naturally I do not have any concept of the past."
Hearing this, Gu Li suddenly felt a little lucky: "So now we only have to deal with me."
"Yes, it's nothing more than dealing with dozens or even hundreds of you." Li Leping glanced at him.
Hearing the sarcasm, Gu Li could only smile awkwardly: "It's better than dealing with hundreds of you. Besides, I don't believe that this broken clock can really copy me completely, and it can also copy so many at once.
"
"Is there any difference? No matter it's a hundred me or a hundred you, even if they can only exert 10% of the supernatural power, the superimposed supernatural power cannot be blocked by the ghost controller at all, and will be instantly blocked.
Get rid of it."
This is the reason why Li Leping has not taken action to deal with these figures.
If you don't find a way to completely solve the phenomena in front of you, then there is no point in taking action now. No matter how fast you kill, you can't keep up with the speed of these figures.
What's the use of killing ten Gu Li? There are still dozens of Gu Li waiting for you.
As long as you slow down a little, a new Gu Li will appear soon.
Even if you really use the fastest speed to clean up all these figures in front of you, as long as the source is not cut off, they will still appear.
"When the bell rings, weird supernatural beings will appear. There is no doubt that the grandfather clock is the source of this incident. Therefore, just dealing with these figures cannot solve this incident. We also have to correct the time of the clock.
."
Li Leping turned his eyes, bypassed the many Gu Lis in front of him, and re-locked the grandfather clock placed in the carriage.
The bell rang, and changes occurred.
There is no doubt that this grandfather clock is the source of this incident.
Therefore, if you want to restore the current out-of-control situation, you must use this grandfather clock as a breakthrough.
"Correct the time back? Do you want it to stop spinning?" Gu Li analyzed the situation in front of him.
"More than that, since it is a correction, it is not as simple as stopping the rotation, but turning the time back to twelve o'clock. Twelve o'clock should be a very critical time."
Li Leping has speculated some rules about this grandfather clock: "When the time returns to twelve o'clock, the situation in the carriage may be able to return to that moment, including the disappeared door. Maybe that door will only exist in
During normal times, once there is a problem with the time in the carriage, the door will disappear, making it impossible for us to leave."
After hearing his analysis of the situation, Gu Li's eyes moved: "I see, then let's stop delaying and take action directly."
As he spoke, he stepped forward and was about to rush towards the grandfather clock that was surrounded by Gu Li's group.
"No, we can't go together."
However, Li Leping rejected Gu Li's request for action at this time and said instead: "The wreckage covered with the clock should be a special arrangement to limit the operation of the clock, so the clock will always be in a silent state.
, but now that the body covering the clock has been taken away by you, the layout has been broken, the clock has completely gotten rid of its constraints and started to run again."
"So if you want to restore it to twelve o'clock, you can only find a way to force the hour hand back. And just breaking it back is not enough. Someone must stay there to fix the time and keep the clock at that moment.
That’s all.”
Gu Li's face changed when he heard this: "What do you mean..."
However, before he finished speaking, Li Leping continued: "You stay here by the car door, and I will correct the time on the clock. As soon as you see the car door, leave immediately."
"I'm leaving, what will you do?" Gu Li said with a surprised look on his face.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! There is no doubt that those who stayed in the carriage at that time were tantamount to being trapped in an unsolvable supernatural land.
Li Leping didn't seem to care very much: "I'm just an invading figure. I can just give up the invasion when the time comes. But for you, I can only take you here. For the last day left, you can only find a way to survive by yourself."
."
"Okay, let's start the action."
After giving some instructions and leaving these last words, Li Leping immediately walked in the direction of the grandfather clock.
Weird figures are forming, and some figures have become so clear that they look almost like Gu Li. They are no longer that fuzzy and old-looking, and their skin colors have begun to become more realistic, but the expressions on their faces still look dull and numb, revealing that
A kind of ghostly atmosphere.
As these things became real, Gu Li showed faint signs of movement. His hands and feet would move from time to time, and he began to act abnormally. He seemed a little restless.
Suddenly.
Gu Li, who had become very clear during this period of change, suddenly looked at Li Leping who was approaching, a pair of gray and empty eyes seemed to be staring at him at this moment.
However, before these Gu Lis could take action, Li Leping's figure was already filled with a cold aura, and he continued to move forward expressionlessly, not taking these Gu Lis seriously at all.
Although the supernatural power he possesses is only 30% of his original body, the source of this 30% of the supernatural power is the terrifying supernatural being with a mortal curse. Even if it is weakened, the foundation is still there.
Just get close.
The bodies of Gu Li who were closest to Li Leping, those who appeared first, suddenly became illusory, as if their color had been wiped away, and became unreal again.
next moment.
Gu Li, who had only appeared for a short time, disappeared directly, as if he had never appeared.
"Sure enough, these figures are just some supernatural products. Although they have a certain degree of supernatural power, they are not real ghosts and can be destroyed directly."
Without stopping, Li Leping continued to walk forward.
Wherever he passed, whether it was Gu Li who had appeared for some time or who had just appeared, they all suddenly disappeared in an instant, as if the world had evaporated, disappearing without a trace.
"Hiss... This old man spoke so reluctantly. Those who didn't know it thought he was going to die with others with the determination of never coming back. But in the end, he was a unilateral massacre of me."
Gu Li, who had already reached the car door and still only saw a wall, turned around and immediately saw that one by one he was disappearing as Li Leping approached, as if he had been directly erased.
Although he knew that those so-called "selves" were just products created by the supernatural and were false replicas, seeing these figures bearing his own appearance being destroyed so easily by Li Leping, Gu Li still felt a little strange in his heart.
It's weird, it's like Li Leping is really killing himself one by one.
the other side.
Li Leping had already cleared away the figures in front of him.
Walking back to the grandfather clock, he looked at the clock hanging on top of the grandfather clock.
But I found that the time on this clock was a little strange.
The second hand of the clock does not move clockwise at all, but counterclockwise, just like a countdown, which is completely opposite to the direction of rotation of an ordinary alarm clock.
"Time goes backwards, so does it also attract some things from the past?"
Li Leping, who came up with some guesses, did not stop his movements.
He directly stretched out his hand and simply and roughly moved the hour hand on the clock clockwise, trying to return the time to twelve o'clock.
However, the moment he stretched out his hand and touched the second hand.
"boom!"
There was a huge breaking sound, followed by sawdust flying, and the side of the grandfather clock facing Li Leping suddenly burst open, as if something sealed inside had awakened at this time, or was lifted by Li Leping.
The act of trying to turn back the hour hand was irritating.
Suddenly, with broken wood chips flying all over the ground, a huge crack appeared in sight.
Immediately afterwards, a dead hand that was rotten, white, and covered with corpse spots stretched out from the cracked hole, and instantly grabbed Li Leping, whose palm rested on the hour hand.
Immediately.
A cold breath passed along his arms and into his mind.
"Um?"
The dead hand that suddenly stretched out from the grandfather clock immediately made Li Leping's face change slightly. He subconsciously looked towards the place where the hand was stretched out, only to find that it was pitch black inside the crack, like an abyss capable of swallowing everything, as if connected to
Another world.
This strange dead hand is sticking out from the darkness.
The moment he was grabbed by this hand, Li Leping discovered that his arm began to show signs of decay, with corpse spots growing out and a putrid smell emitting from it.
It was obvious that this was caused by some kind of supernatural attack.
You must know that the current Li Leping is just a figure that invaded through the media. Let alone death and decay, he is actually not even a living person now, and it is impossible to show such signs of decay.
"This clock is indeed not that simple. There is a ghost hidden inside. It is even possible that this ghost is the source of this clock."
Li Leping thought to himself, but the movement of his hand did not stop, even though he was caught by the hand extending from the grandfather clock, and judging from the existing signs, he most likely could not withstand this.
attack.
However, his body is not a normal body at this moment. He does not need to consider whether he can win this confrontation, he only needs to buy some time in this confrontation.
"Li Leping, what happened to you over there?"
On the other side of the car door, Gu Li, who heard the movement, immediately shouted with surprise and worry on his face.
The grandfather clock blocked his sight, preventing him from seeing the situation on Li Leping's side. However, he found that Li Leping's face changed slightly after the sound of movement, and his body began to change at the same time.
The illusory body suddenly began to become more hazy, as if it was about to disappear, and corpse spots suddenly appeared on the skin, as if it was about to rot.
"I'll take care of the little things. You can leave."
Ignoring the dead hand on his arm, and ignoring himself as he was disappearing, Li Leping used brute force to push the second hand back to its original position, then looked at Gu Li and reminded him.
He pushed the time back to twelve o'clock, and the car door he left had reappeared.
"Thank you for your kindness, I will withdraw first."
Gu Li obviously saw that Li Leping was trying to buy him time.
Gu Li knew that he would seize the opportunity at this time and not delay. He immediately opened the car door and left.
"it's over."
Watching Gu Li withdraw from the carriage, Li Leping took another look at the darkness with the dead hand stretched out, trying to see clearly what was hidden in the darkness.
It's a pity that the darkness condensed inside the grandfather clock seems extremely terrifying. Even the supernatural power of a sleepwalker can't see what is in the darkness.
There was no time to look at it for too long.
In just a few seconds, the signs of decay on his body had reached their peak. While covered in corpse spots, his body also completely dissipated at this moment.
at the same time.
In the real Okawa City.
"it's over."
Li Leping, who put on his black coat again, walked alone on the road, like a patron saint patrolling the city at night.
While patrolling, his eyes moved slightly, as if he was reminiscing, or synchronizing certain memories in a special way.
