Henry quickly regained his composure after a brief panic.
He looked up at the clock on the wall, and his initial ease was gone. "Can we talk about this later? I have an appointment at nine o'clock. As a gentleman, being late is very rude."
Baili Xin: "Baron Henry, is there anyone more important than the Queen's orders? Didn't you just express your fervent loyalty to the Marquis of Garner?"
"Trust us, it won't take you too long. Ten minutes is enough. Aren't you curious about what happened at Night at the Museum last night?"
Henry looked a little strange: "Night at the Museum? What on earth happened in the museum?"
Ghana was also attracted by Baili Xin's storytelling ability, and even felt an interest in listening carefully to what Baili Xin was going to say next.
He looked up at Baili Xin, his eyes full of anticipation.
Baili Xin took a deep breath, and his voice became mysterious: "Last night, the museum was haunted."
"The guards patrolling the museum were scared to death and all ran away. They were saying something incomprehensible, like... artifacts coming alive, armor killing people, clacking, clacking, etc."
Click, click
Henry's heart skipped a beat, and he couldn't help but speed up his speech: "Then what? What else happened? Didn't they say that the crown was returned? How was it returned?"
Click
Isn't this the sound of the clock monster that I put in the museum
Did it go berserk
If it is this, it can indeed temporarily revive the dead ghost through time magic, which is the phenomenon of "armor coming to life" that everyone sees with the naked eye.
He discovered this clock monster by accident in his ancestral cellar.
Although the Ibb family is now a declining noble family, during the reign of Queen Elizabeth I, the Ibb family was still a noble family deeply favored by Queen Elizabeth I.
The honor and favor enjoyed by the Ibrahimovic family at that time is beyond the reach of even the current Ghana family.
That was the most glorious period of the Ibrahimovic family, and it was also an era that the Ibrahimovic family talked about with great relish.
His lifelong dream is to lead the Ibrahimovic family back to its former glory.
Two years ago, when he was cleaning up the cellar passed down from his ancestors, he accidentally saw an ancient book locked in chains.
There was a strange magic circle and a clock totem drawn on it. He seemed to hear some call and his body uncontrollably unlocked the chains.
By the time he reacted, he had already signed a contract with the clock monster and became its new master.
Because of the contract and shackles, the clock monster had to obey him, and he finally understood the reason why his ancestors were so favored by Queen Elizabeth I.
The clock monster is a monster that can control time. It can stop time or reverse time.
It was with the help of this monster's ability that our ancestors were able to turn back time again and again and please the queen by doing what she wanted.
In the biographies passed down by ancestors, it is written more than once that Queen Elizabeth I praised her ancestors for being considerate and deep in her heart, and being gentlemen who truly understood her.
It turns out that it was not an exaggeration, but a benefit brought by the monsters controlled by our ancestors.
This clock monster was even more powerful during the era of the contract with its ancestors, but because it has been sealed for so many years, its strength has been greatly reduced.
It took him two years of working with the clock monster before he could just make it obey his orders.
Hearing what they said, could it be that the clock monster really has gone berserk
Did they really return the Sun Kiss to them
The more Henry thought about it, the more anxious he became, and his expression became more and more out of control.
He tried to stay calm, and his mind began to call out to the clock monster frantically.
However, the clock monster did not respond to him at all, as if it had evaporated from the earth.
He became more and more flustered. He no longer cared that the Marquis of Garner was still sitting in front of him. He slammed the table and stood up and said hurriedly, "Everyone, I'm sorry. Heaven and earth can attest to my loyalty to Her Majesty the Queen, but I really have a very important meeting right now. Marquis of Garner, give me a day. I will come to you in person to apologize tomorrow."
"The butler will see you off. I'm sorry I can't see you off in person."
He threw down these few words in a panic, pushed the door open and strode out. After he crossed the hall, his speed had changed from walking to running.
Henry turned and stopped in the gorgeous room, and finally stopped in front of an inconspicuous little door.
He took a deep breath, pushed open the small door, held up the torch hanging on the wall, and carefully walked down the stairs to the cellar.
He walked down a few steps on the narrow stairs, suddenly realized something, and turned around to look behind him.
The dim and gloomy stairs were empty and there was nothing on them.
Henry withdrew his gaze doubtfully and continued walking down.
I always feel like someone is staring at me from behind.
Was it an illusion because he was too scared
Henry shook off the inappropriate and groundless speculations in his mind and quickened his pace.
He walked to a shelf with ease, and tiptoed to carefully take down a dark red velvet box that was placed on the top.
The red velvet box was spotless, and it seemed to be somewhat out of place with the old furnishings around it. It seemed that it had been there only a short time ago.
With the help of the torchlight, Henry held his breath and carefully opened the box. A crown whose brilliance could not be concealed even in the darkness appeared in everyone's sight.
Seeing that the Sun Kiss was still there, Henry couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and whispered to himself: "I was scared to death, isn't the Sun Kiss still here?"
He stared at the Kiss of the Sun for a long time before he realized it and said in a daze, "Since the Kiss of the Sun is still there, why did the Marquis of Ghana and Her Majesty's Royal Guards say that the Kiss of the Sun has been returned?"
A hollow voice responded from behind him: "Because only in this way can we trick the real Sun Kiss out of your hand."
Henry turned his head subconsciously, but just when he turned his head halfway, he felt a sharp pain in the back of his neck and lost consciousness the next second.
The man's heavy body fell to the ground with the red velvet box.
Just as the red velvet box was about to fall to the ground, a hand appeared out of nowhere and caught the velvet box in time.
As for Henry, he was not treated so well. He fell heavily to the ground, raising a cloud of dust.
Three figures gradually emerged in the flying dust.
Baili Xin, Lin Xiao, and the little black-haired monster.
Baili Xin held the square red velvet box in his hand and placed it in front of Lin Xiao. "Lin Xiao, take a look and see if it's authentic?"
Lin Xiao picked up the Sun Kiss and took a look at it. "Yes, it's the real Sun Kiss."
"It seems that the real murderer who stole the Sun's Kiss has been found. The correct answer is Henry Ibrahimovic."
"What should we do with this person now?"
Baili Xin thought for a few seconds and looked at the black-haired monster: "Your threat is effective. Scare the clock monster again and turn back the time of Henry and the butler who saw us to before we came. Ghana has helped us so much, we can't keep cheating him like this."
The black-haired little monster patted his chest and said, "Okay, I'll try. Give me the clock monster."
The poor clock monster was once again served to the black-haired monster like an appetizer...
___________________________
Garner came to his senses and slammed on the brakes.
He looked around blankly and found that the road they were walking on now was somewhat familiar.
Isn't this the way to Henry Ibb's house
Henry Ibrahimovic
Strange, why did he feel like he had already met Henry Ibrahimovic
Could it be that he was frightened by the little black-haired monsters and had an illusion
But the scene of talking with Henry Ibrahimovic seemed so real, as if it happened not long ago.
He hurriedly picked up his pocket watch to divert his attention, only to realize that it was already nine o'clock.
Nine o'clock?!
"Oh no! Why is it so late at nine o'clock, Baili Xin!"
He suddenly turned around to look at the back seat, and was surprised to find that there was no one behind him, and there was no trace of Baili Xin and Lin Xiao.
Garner felt a slight pain in his head.
He rested his head on the steering wheel.
So many bizarre things had happened in the day and night from yesterday to today, so strange that he was now confused and couldn't tell what was real and what was imaginary.
Did he really go into the museum with Baili Xin to investigate
Was he really bold enough to break into the museum with them at night
Were the monsters he saw last night real
Also, did he ever look for Henry Ibrahimovic
Woo—
Help! I can’t remember anything and my head hurts even more.
"Bang bang bang", someone knocked on the car window. Ghana turned his head in confusion and saw a familiar black tuxedo through the window.
Garner, who was originally negative, immediately cheered up, rolled down the car window and greeted the people outside with a smile: "Mr. Deacon, why are you here?"
The man in a well-tailored tuxedo respectfully performed a simple etiquette towards Garner: "Marquis Garner, it is fate to meet you here. I am here to help Her Majesty the Queen with something, how about you?"
After saying this, the butler picked up his pocket watch and took a look at it, then looked around as if he was looking for something.
"I came here to..." Ghana was about to say that he had found the real murderer who stole the Sun's Kiss, but the next second his expression suddenly froze, and a horrible thought appeared in his mind.
He stared at the pocket watch in the butler's hand, the pores on his scalp burst one after another, and his hands holding the steering wheel turned pale. "In order to make a few more custom-made suits, I am a regular customer of the century-old Royal Suit Shop on this street. I have been in prison every day recently and don't even have a decent piece of clothing. It's not my style at all."
The deacon had no doubts: "That's right. The Marquis of Garner is a talented young man. It's a waste of his talent to work in a prison."
After saying that, he looked down at his pocket watch again, muttering, "Three minutes have passed, why hasn't he appeared yet? Trash is really trash."
Garner secretly swallowed his saliva, suppressed the cold sweat that was pouring out of his forehead, and said in his usual cynical tone: "What's the matter? Did our deacon get stood up? Who is so bold?"
The butler snapped on his pocket watch and said, "It should be just a prank. I'm going back now. Goodbye, Marquis of Ghana."
It was not until the deacon drove off the street that Garner let out a long sigh and leaned back in the driver's seat, feeling relieved.
When his back pressed against the seat, he realized belatedly that his back was wet, and his clothes were stuck tightly to his back because of the pressure of the seat.
As if he had walked through the gates of hell, he groaned in pain and covered his face in despair.
Oh my god, what did he know
He seemed to know something extraordinary.
Henry dressed up and made an appointment to meet someone at nine o'clock.
But at nine o'clock he saw the butler, who was always with Her Majesty the Queen, waiting for someone here.
Isn’t this too much of a coincidence
The person Henry wants to see is Her Majesty's butler
No, the Butler is only a shadow of Her Majesty.
The person Henry really wants to see is Her Majesty the Queen!
Oh my god.
Garner slammed his head.
My head is buzzing with pain.
Henry stole the sun's kiss.
The Queen perfunctorily investigated the whereabouts of the Sun's Kiss.
Henry and the Queen made a private appointment to meet…
What on earth is going on here
After a brief moment of confusion, he gradually distinguished between reality and illusion.
He must have seen Henry Ibrahimovic just now, but he didn't know why he suddenly appeared here again.
Although it sounds fantastic, but when you think that Baili Xin and Lin Xiao have a monster that can manipulate time in their hands, it seems that everything is not so difficult to accept.
But what is going on
Did the Queen secretly order Henry to steal the Kiss of the Sun
Or did Henry use the Kiss of the Sun as bait to meet with Her Majesty the Queen alone
What exactly is Her Majesty the Queen’s attitude
No matter which possibility it was, it was far beyond what he should know.
The more you know, the faster you die.
Since ancient times, serving the emperor is like serving a tiger. If he had not shut up in time, he would not have escaped so luckily.
Garner felt a sense of relief at having escaped death.
He glanced at the back seat again, and it was still empty.
Where on earth did Baili Xin and Lin Xiao go
…
At this time, in a small alley far away from the city center, two tall figures were hiding in the darkness.
Baili Xin opened the task list and tried to enter the answer into it.
Find the real murderer who stole the Sun Kiss:_______ (There are three chances in total, and your remaining number of answers is 3/3)
Prisin first entered the name "Henry Ibrahimovic" in place of "______".
Ding! Wrong answer, please re-enter.
Baili Xin didn't hesitate much and re-entered an answer.
Queen Elizabeth III
Ding! Congratulations to the player, the answer is correct.
Dear player, congratulations on successfully completing Mission 2. You are only one step away from completing all the missions. There are 14 hours left until the end of the dungeon. Please keep up the good work.
Lin Xiao stretched out his hand in front of Baili Xin: "Give me the Kiss of the Sun."
Baili Xin didn't know what Lin Xiao wanted to do, but he still took out the Kiss of the Sun from his backpack and handed it to Lin Xiao.
Lin Xiao casually took the Sun Kiss in his hand and swept it across, with a comfortable posture as if he was playing with an insignificant toy.
He looked around at the Sun Kiss and finally placed his finger on the huge gem on the top of the crown.
Under Baili Xin's scrutiny, Lin Xiao easily broke the Sun Kiss Crown and took out a golden object from behind the gem.
Lin Xiao stuffed the thing into Baili Xin's hand: "This is for you."
The thing is hard, feels like metal, and has sharp edges.
Baili Xin opened his hand and found a key made of gold.
He held the key and cast an inquiring look at Lin Xiao.
Lin Xiao then grasped both sides of the jeweled crown and squeezed it hard with both hands. The crown, which was regarded as a "national treasure" by this country, was easily crushed into pieces by Lin Xiao. The metallic sand mixed with the glittering transparent dust completely dissipated in the wind.
After shattering the last bit of powder in his palm into pieces and letting it float in the air, Lin Xiao spoke calmly: "I'll tell you a secret about this country that I know but you don't."
"Henry Ibrahimovic has the clock monster in chains, but it's not the only monster in the country."
The image of the huge black beast that he saw in the basement of the prison immediately emerged in Baili Xin's mind.
He looked at Lin Xiao, then at the key in his hand, with even more doubt in his eyes.
"Elizabeth I also had a monster. Thanks to the protection of this monster, she quickly defeated other competitors and became the empress. After her death, the monster was sealed away."
"It was not until decades later that Elizabeth III, who had almost the same childhood experience as Elizabeth I, accidentally found the seal hidden by Elizabeth III."
Baili Xin listened carefully, but Lin Xiao's next words frightened him.
"The same year that the monster was released, that man appeared beside the queen at the same time."
"The relationship between the two of them is very subtle. Rather than being inseparable comrades, they are more like enemies who are wary of each other."
"Queen Elizabeth seemed to be very afraid of the man's power, including the fact that no trace of his deeds was left in the books."
"He is a man who will not appear in books, but is more mysterious than the Queen."
"He is immortal, eats raw meat and drinks blood, and is like a monster who only knows how to kill. And that's what people call him behind his back - a monster."
"As time went by, the queen grew older, but the man remained the same as when he first appeared."
"The queen began to get even more scared. In order to prevent the monster from going berserk and killing her, the queen built a prison for the man and the monster."
"From then on, she imprisoned the man and the monster there."
Baili Xin's pupils widened and the hand holding the key trembled slightly.
Every bit of his time with the warden Dijia flashed through his mind like a revolving lantern. Many places he had never noticed before also reappeared.
—Why do you eat so much
—I have a big appetite.
—This monster eats a lot...
—Don't test my bottom line, I will kill you.
—Killing is my instinct. Apart from killing, I don’t know what else I am good at.
—Don't try to escape.
—Those who leave here will never come back.
—No one wants to return to this cage.
Fragments of conversation emerged in his mind. Baili Xin supported himself against the wall with one hand to steady himself, and the scene in his mind gradually froze at a certain moment.
The dark underground.
As the monster was chewing the executed prisoner with relish, Diga fiercely pulled him into his arms.
He lowered his head and sniffed his neck, and the impulse of desire was almost the same as the monster behind him.
Crazy Diga.
A black behemoth.
It gradually moved from both ends of the picture to the middle, and finally overlapped...
The black monster is Dijia, Dijia is the black monster.
The queen built a prison and imprisoned him and it, so Diga refused to let him go at that time.
That's why after he disappeared out of thin air for twelve hours, Diga went berserk and imprisoned him like a madman.
Because he couldn't leave the prison at all.
He firmly believed that people who left the prison would never come back, but after he left, he was unable to break free from the prison to find himself.
That's why he said "This is the last time we meet".
It turns out that in Dijia's heart, that was really their last meeting, and not just some kind of paranoid madness.
Baili Xin covered his mouth and felt a dryness in his throat.
Oh my God, what kind of mood was Dijia in when he let me go
He only realized it now.
In the face of the clamor of desire and instinct, he actually let go and let himself go.
How did he overcome his desire
Is it because of love for yourself
Baili Xin clenched the key tightly, and when he looked up again, he had a resolute expression: "Lin Xiao, I want to go back to prison."
He was going to find his man.
The man who was not good at speaking but had a heart full of life.
He promised his lover that he would come back to find him.
His lover is still waiting for his return.
Lin Xiao: "Let's go together. Without Ghana's help, it will be awkward for you to go in through the main gate. I know a secret passage. I'll lead you there."
