It was still ten o'clock, and Jiang Dong came to Lou Fan's residence on time, and the five of them sat around together, next to a pot of sweet fruit tea, Lou Fan's favorite.
Chen Shuyang made the last stroke in his notebook, raised his head and adjusted his glasses, and said, "In 2013, a supernatural event occurred in the Shimane County Hall. The 250 clock inside the county hall stopped at 1:00 am at the same time. 35 minutes. The next morning, the staff reset the clock to the correct time, but no one knows why the 250 clock stopped. This is the summary of the supernatural events in Shimane County."
Jiang Dong kept smiling and listened carefully to Chen Shuyang, occasionally showing a pensive expression.
Lou Fan spread his hands, "Well, this time it's completely a supernatural event. Does anyone know anything else?"
He didn't count on Qin Tan and Wen Lang, but looked at Jiang Dong expectantly. Jiang Dong looked at his sincere eyes, couldn't hold back, and smiled. He looks very handsome, and his smile is quite attractive.
"I don't know about this." Jiang Dong said, "I'm really sorry."
If you don’t know it, you don’t know it. Anyway, Lou Fan didn’t expect anyone to know the inside story. After all, he is not from country R. Chen Shuyang even knows this, which is already very rare.
"Okay." Lou Fan lay weakly on the table, "Qin Tan, I'll leave it to you."
Qin Tan looked at him helplessly, with a smile in his eyes, "Okay, then let's discuss what we need to prepare."
In modern society, in the county hall, field tools are not needed, the most important thing is food and drink, and lighting tools, etc... These are not within the scope of Lou Fan's consideration, he only needs to know what to bring in the end, and then proceed Just exchange it. To put it bluntly, it only takes money.
but…
"Doctor Jiang, what we have prepared is just a suggestion, you can see for yourself if there are any additions or subtractions." Lou Fan is afraid that Jiang Dong will mistakenly think that he must bring it, so he hereby explains.
Jiang Dong nodded, "I know, your plan is very comprehensive, I think it's very good." But he is also a poor ghost, and he didn't bring anything back from the last mission, so the things he can bring are pitifully small.
Wen Lang and Chen Shuyang developed a new function for the book, putting everything that can be put in it, and also brought many small tools. For example, food and drink, knives, daily necessities, etc. It has become a treasure chest of small items.
As for the big ones, I didn't bring much this time. Chen Shuyang was relaxed, with his precious books in his backpack. Now he no longer felt that his book was useless.
When Jiang Dong was about to leave, Qin Tan stopped him. "Doctor Jiang, do you need our help? If you don't have enough points, we can prepare something for you. Even if you are not in our team later, we can continue to use it, or you will return the points to us when the time comes." That's fine too."
Jiang Dong was very carefree after a meal, "Okay, then prepare one for me."
When Jiang Dong was silent, Qin Tan probably knew about his situation. They are all owned by a team, and the daily necessities are actually very cheap, but if there is nothing in hand to exchange, it is a huge sum of money.
December 6 at 23:00.
The five gathered at the station on time. Anticipating that there might be a fierce battle tonight, the five of them all went to bed early, and at this time, except for Lou Fan, they were all energetic and waiting for the train to arrive.
At eleven thirty in the evening, three men and three women walked to the platform and stood beside the five people. The leader is a woman with long hair who looks like a royal sister. She was very beautiful, and she belonged to the type with a high rate of turning heads. Wearing suspenders can make all the men have nosebleeds.
Lou Fan was dozing off against a pillar when he heard someone talking, opened his eyes and saw a beautiful woman standing in front of Qin Tan, and immediately woke up.
"Are you the captain?" The big beauty was a bit cold, but she looked at Qin Tan with friendly eyes, "My name is Tong Fei, and I'm the captain of the intermediate team. You are from Shimane County in the mission world, right?"
Qin Tan nodded, "Yes, Shimane County. I'm Qin Tan."
Tong Fei squinted her eyes and was about to speak again when Lou Fan yelled. "Qin Tan, come here."
Qin Tan immediately turned around. Lou Fan pretended to rummage through his bag and asked Qin Tan, "I don't seem to have my flashlight with me?"
Qin Tan took out the bag and took out the flashlight from the inner pocket, "I put it in the inner pocket for you."
Lou Fan smiled, "Oh, I thought I didn't bring it."
Behind Tong Fei, Jiang Rou and Wang Xiaoyun huddled together and screamed softly, "Damn it, that person feels good! He matches the captain well!"
Wang Xiaoyun took a look at the five people and nodded with satisfaction, "The five are all good-looking, with high looks. I bet there are two pairs."
"Why don't you say that three of them are love triangles?" Jiang Rou rolled her eyes, then stared at Lou Fan and Qin Tan drooling, "Look at how gentle the captain is, and even helping with the backpack! Come on, come on!" Princess hug."
Wang Xiaoyun was speechless, "Hey, calm down! Don't be so loud."
Tong Fei turned her head and glanced at the two of them indifferently, "You two should be more suitable for me, what does it look like to be heard by others."
Jiang Rou and Wang Xiaoyun immediately pulled their mouths with a smile.
Lou Fan got up and walked to Tong Fei with Qin Tan. Tong Fei's eyes swept over the two of them, revealing a smile of unknown meaning. "Can you tell me about your mission?"
Qin Tan said: "Get the correct time on 250 clocks. The time limit is seven days."
Tong Fei raised her eyebrows, "Our task is to find the murderer of Xiao Yeli according to the testimony of the six suspects and Xiao Yeli before 01:35. The location is the innermost conference room on the sixth floor of the county hall."
The two tasks are of different types, one is supernatural and the other is a puzzle. It seems that they can't help each other.
Lou Fan heard something wrong, "What about the time limit? It only said before 01:35?" This time limit is too strange,
Tong Fei looked helpless, "We don't know, we only gave this time limit, we can only look at it at that time." Glancing at Lou Fan's bow, Tong Fei praised, "Your spirit weapon is not bad."
Lou Fan laughed, and glanced at the weapon standing beside her, "My name is Lou Fan. Your weapon is also very cool."
Tong Fei's weapon is a big knife, which is nearly one meter long. Coupled with her temperament, it is extremely domineering.
I'm afraid no one will covet her beauty without long eyes.
The two looked at each other and smiled. Afterwards, the two teams stood separately, and when the train whistle sounded, everyone who seemed calm took a deep breath and stepped on the train.
Ten minutes later, the train arrived at its destination, the Shimane County Office.
Time: 01:00.
There were still newbies screaming, but this time no one tore up the leaflets, and they all left the station smoothly. When they saw the Japanese, they all realized that this was probably not a prank.
The junior team has five people, the intermediate team has six people, and the rookie team has five people. A group of sixteen people stood outside the gate of the county hall at midnight and early morning, looking at the gloomy county hall in front of them, they only felt chills all over their bodies.
"Where is this place? Woohoo..."
"I want to go home..."
The newlyweds huddled together, crying softly.
Chen Shuyang pulled up his collar, "It's really cold, what season is it here? Fortunately, Brother Lou wears it a lot."
Lou Fan also zipped up silently, and the air-conditioning still kept pouring in from his neck. This kind of coldness was not a problem of not wearing enough clothes, but a kind of chilling coldness.
The newcomers at the back were very noisy, Jiang Dong didn't look sideways, Wen Lang was a little irritable, and shouted to the back, "Keep your voice down, follow along and stop talking nonsense, just follow the instructions of the watch. Talk too much and die quickly."
The newcomers were frightened by the last sentence, they all fell silent and went to look at their watches.
Tong Fei and the six took out their weapons and got ready. Tong Fei said to the five people: "Let's go first, I wish you all the best."
Qin Tan nodded, and Lou Fan said, "You too, if we finish ahead of time, come and have a look."
Tong Fei showed a friendly smile, said nothing, and left with the five of them. Their goal was the conference room on the sixth floor, and there was still half an hour left, and they didn't know what they would meet.
Watching the six people leave, Qin Tan asked Wen Lang to explain to the newcomers and let them find a place to stay by themselves. As for food and water, they couldn't provide them this time, so they had to rely on the newcomers themselves.
Seeing that it was already 1:20, Qin Tan and the other five were ready to enter the county hall. Walking to the door, Jiang Dong suddenly stopped Qin Tan.
"Captain Qin, shouldn't we go in after one thirty-five?" Jiang Dong glanced at his watch and said, "Since the clock stopped at one thirty-five, it's not time yet, so it means it's still there Run, it’s useless to go in now.”
When he said this, Lou Fan suddenly felt that it made sense, and he hadn't thought about this question before. Since the time limit is seven days, and it is not so short of a few minutes, Lou Fan and Qin Tan looked at each other and nodded. "Doctor Jiang is right. Why didn't everyone think of this problem before?"
Jiang Dong said: "I also remembered Tong Fei's mission when I heard about it."
The newcomers hid in the reception room tremblingly. Their task only needed to stay in the county hall for seven days. Once they entered the county hall, the countdown had already started.
Fifteen minutes later, a group of five people stepped into the gate of the county hall. Tong Fei and the other six were no longer inside the door, and the inside looked no different from a normal city hall, the only difference being that it was colder inside.
There is not much difference between the county hall and the city hall in Huaguo, both are the same office space. As soon as you enter, there is a hall, and then there are offices on both sides.
Lou Fan suddenly had a headache, "Could it be that you need to look for one office after another? I have a bad feeling, maybe this is a game of hide and seek, and it will take a lot of time to find a 250 yuan clock."
Qin Tan glanced left and right, "Let's go and have a look first, where are we going?"
Lou Fan thought for a while, stretched out his hand and pointed to the left, "This way." Qin Tan raised his foot and walked to the left.
Jiang Dong walked beside Chen Shuyang, and asked in a low voice, "How about Captain Qin..."
Before he finished speaking, Chen Shuyang took it over, "Brother Qin doesn't like to make choices, so he usually lets Brother Lou choose. Brother Lou is lucky every time."
Jiang Dong nodded to show that he understood that luck is also a part of strength, which is especially true in this world.
The doors of the office were all closed, Lou Fan didn't know the words on them, and of course he didn't want to know. Qin Tan held a Tang knife in his hand and motioned to stand behind him, Lou Fan held a bow in his hand, Wen Lang's poker was pinched at his fingertips, Chen Shuyang stood behind Lou Fan holding a dagger, Jiang Dong stood at the back with a face Leisurely.
Qin Tan gently twisted the door open, then pushed it open with the tip of the Tang knife, the door creaked softly, and slowly opened.
