The current environment where Jenkins and the professor are located is like the living room of a high-end apartment. Different from those dilapidated, decaying, and dirty places in the past, this time the environment is quite "civilized", and it is almost impossible to tell that this is a strange place.
Because the curtains were tightly drawn, the two of them didn't know what was going on outside. The lighting in the room depends on the gas lamp on the wall, but the shape of this gas lamp is different from any contemporary gas lamp, and it is also different from the lamp that seems to be made of fine gears seen in "Future". It's just that the level of mechanical craftsmanship is even more superb.
The living room was extremely quiet, except for the clicking of the clock on the fireplace, there was no sound at all.
"Hello, both of you, welcome here."
As if the sound of fingernails scratching the glass sounded behind them, Jenkins and the professor immediately turned their heads to look at the clock behind them. It showed the time at twelve o'clock, that is, the hour hand, minute hand and second hand coincided.
The dial is in the shape of a human face, with a bumpy nose, eyes and mouth, but no ears. The one who spoke just now is naturally this clock.
"The end will come in 60 seconds, and you need to live in the basement for 24 hours. If you are still alive after 24 hours, you can leave here safely. During these 24 hours, you will face countless troubles and challenges, so 60 seconds before the end, please find enough things in the house to help you survive, good luck~”
It giggled suddenly, and the sound made Jenkins and the professor dizzy. When the professor recovered, he happened to see Jenkins rushing upstairs with the cat in his arms. He was taken aback, and then turned to check the living room.
The second of the clock started to turn, and the sound of "click click ~" can be heard anywhere in the house. Jenkins rushed up to the second floor and saw a room layout similar to his own. He knew that 60 seconds could not take much, not even enough for him to go back and forth twice, so he needed to get as much as possible at once. s things.
"But what is useful?"
Jenkins briefly glanced at the door styles on both sides of the corridor, and then said to his cat:
"Chocolate, you go to the basement first! I just saw that the entrance to the basement is behind the stairs!"
He put his cat on the ground, and ran to the bedroom at the end of the corridor without looking back. The cat tilted its head and watched Jenkins disappear through the door of the room, then turned around and walked to the other side of the corridor.
"Oh God~"
As soon as he rushed into the room, Jenkins was taken aback by the mummy lying in bed. The head of the mummy was tilted towards the door, and it happened to meet Jenkins who pushed the door open.
Jenkins was so frightened that his heart was pounding, but he walked into the room with his legs without stopping, and then his eyes of reality saw the black aura all over the room.
In fact, Jenkins has long noticed that there are black auras in all corners of the world, but the brightness is extremely low, so it is difficult for him to see at low levels. And the black aura at this moment comes from most of the items in the room, that is to say, most of the items here are weird objects.
"**"
Very rarely, Jenkins uttered a very dirty word. It was in the memory of the original owner, who had heard it from sailors who visited Williamette's store as a child. Little Jenkins later learned the word to Robert and Mary after dinner. Since then, Robert has never taken Jenkins and his brothers to the store to play.
"It was a trap from the beginning, this strange place is too strange!"
Generally speaking, the beginning of a treacherous realm is a period of absolute safety, especially a treacherous realm with a complex background and complex rules like this. And although there are indescribable and terrifying items and creatures in the strange land, Jenkins has never seen so many at one time.
"There must be something wrong!"
He, the professor and Chocolate have been to the strange world more than once, and they are definitely not the link that went wrong. So, presumably the problem was the two dead men in the living room, and somehow Jenkins thought of the bottle in his robe pocket.
"The emergence of this strange situation, won't it be related to that umbilical cord?"
Reality didn't have time for him to think more, seeing that the room was full of weird things, his heart was overwhelmed, and he still rushed into the room.
Immediately, dense crowds of hands protruded from every corner of the house; two distorted human faces appeared in the light of the gas lamp; the naked corpse began to tremble; The two dead plants turned into snake-like vines and crawled to the floor; the distorted human figures in the children's chalk drawings on the wall shed blood and tears; dirty tentacles protruded from the teacup on the desk; the upside-down book On the cover of the book, the title of "Necronomicon" turned black little by little; in the shadows under the bed, ugly lumps of flesh squeezed outward; in the mattress under the naked corpse, overlapping human skin gradually Scattered and floated up...
Jenkins couldn't care so much, stepped out of his body and turned into the form of a fire element, seeing that there were no monsters in this room, only the pen on the desk, under the influence of the whispers in his ear and the black shadow spreading over his body, With difficulty, he grabbed the pen in his hand, and then jumped out of the room with a big jump.
The monsters seem to have a recovery process, unlike the real world that can work immediately. Therefore, under the influence of the double-digit monster, Jenkins still managed to escape from the room. The moment he jumped out of the room, the door closed behind him with a bang, and the embarrassed man was lying in the corridor panting for breath.
"Meow~"
Chocolate came out of the room on the other side of the corridor, and the beautiful cat tilted its head to look at the man. There is a white feather in the cat's mouth, which is exactly the same as the C-01-5-8222 [Angel's Resurrection Feather] owned by Jenkins.
"In 19 seconds, I can enter two more rooms!"
Jenkins got up hard, put his pocket watch and the pen back into his pocket, and then knocked open the opposite door.
It turned out to be a study room, the curtains were also tightly closed, only the candlestick on the imposing table was still providing light. The moment the door was pushed open, the books with black aura trembled at the same time.
Jenkins widened his eyes to look for something that wasn't a monster, and then, as before, after catching the figurine of a woman with a broken arm on the table and the black chess piece at the corner of the table, he fell out of the room again in embarrassment.
The moment the door closed automatically, he saw a terrifying figure made of countless pages, stretching out his hand towards the door.
