[Even if that door can temporarily protect you in the basement, hehe~ But the darkness will still allow some bad things to pass through the barrier. To survive here, you must have enough light sources to resist the maliciousness in the shadows, cluck ~ otherwise what awaits you will be the end of death.]
While the lights were flickering, the alarm clock that fell on the door let out a malicious laugh and said.
When Jenkins fell through the door just now, the alarm clock that was in his hand was thrown out directly. Jenkins suspects that grabbing the alarm clock directly is one of the reasons why he is so miserable at this moment. The alarm clock itself is the ruler of this strange situation. Under normal circumstances, it is best not to get too close to this kind of thing.
"If I could move, I would definitely try to fix that lamp, even though I know that lamp is weird~"
He thought to himself, and knew that it was impossible to restore the overhead light by relying on the unconscious professor and his own cat. The body was injured but the abilities and gifts could still be used. When the miner's lamp above his head began to flicker again, the gift candle burning with inextinguishable fire, and the gear miner's lamp containing mechanical light all appeared around Jenkins.
Since getting the monocle, Jenkins has rarely used them as a lighting tool. But at least in the current situation, the light they provide is much stronger than the miner's lamp overhead, even if the overhead light is off, it doesn't matter.
The voice of chocolate came again, but this time it was not the coquettish cry, but a threatening voice.
Suddenly, an explosion sounded from the top of the head, and then the flickering miner's lamp exploded directly. Fortunately, Jenkins is on the left side of the miner's lamp, otherwise it is very likely to be disfigured by the shattered slag of the glass cover.
The real danger lies not in the wreckage of the shattered miner's lamp, but in the warm yellow flame floating in place after the miner's lamp exploded. Its size was so small that Jenkins didn't even notice it at first, but soon he felt the temperature in the basement rising, and his eyes turned around, and sure enough, he saw the flame seedlings with black aura continuously affecting the space .
"Damn~"
He tried hard to get up and get rid of that thing, but his current physical condition could only move his fingers.
He called the professor's name a few times, and after confirming that he didn't get a response, he looked at the tail of the cat wagging in his field of vision. But chocolate can't do anything, it just keeps cats.
"I can't manage that much anymore."
The flame of the candle rose out of thin air, rushing towards the top of the basement like a bamboo. The inextinguishable flame immediately enveloped the warm yellow flame, and the two items belonging to the same category were immediately entangled with each other according to the principle of devouring.
But Jenkins' Inextinguishable Flame is a Class C [Gift] that has been fused with a purification candle through the power of God, and it has a master to control it. After wrestling with the strange flame seedling for a while, he swallowed it.
Jenkins would never want to do this if there is no other way. After all, if the gift is fused with a strange thing, there will be a certain probability that the gift will be polluted, such as the [Heart of the Ocean] of Pirate King Fermisio.
Fortunately this time, Jenkins did not observe the black light as the unquenchable fire slowly receded into the wick. The problem of the light source in the basement can be regarded as a temporary solution. And with the emergence of his idea, the alarm clock that had no sense of existence just now started talking again:
[You used your recklessness and force to solve the light source, one of the key problems of survival. The old fire receded, and the new flame will bless the survivors under the doomsday. This move bought you a little bit of survival time, and you can leave here an hour earlier.]
Then there was the sound of gears turning from the direction of the alarm clock, and Jenkins thought it was the hand on the clock indicating 12 o'clock fast forward.
"The first incident upon entering here is the light source, if I ignore it at all, then when the light goes out, the malevolence in the shadows will invade the basement; if I ignore it, but choose to find other light sources myself instead of repairing That lamp, then a nasty flame; if I choose to ignore it and fix that lamp, I should have another problem, but doing so will most likely end up with a B or C Lamps, unfortunately I couldn’t move them at all just now... I almost understand the choice... Just now it said to leave early... "
Compared with the well-decorated ground, the basement located under the house was simply dug out, the ground and walls were simply leveled, and no further treatment was done.
It's cold and humid here, and although there are no suspicious animals, it's definitely not suitable for long-term living. Jenkins didn't know whether this strange situation was a simulated end-of-the-world scenario, or a restoration of what actually happened in the past, but he knew that he would definitely not be able to survive 24 hours. Even if the professor woke up, the two of them would never have faced multiple emergencies in such a bad environment.
So the "early departure" that the alarm clock said became crucial, but it also meant that Jenkins had to face more trouble before he could leave before more trouble appeared.
"Sounds like an endless loop."
It was the first sentence he uttered after he was able to speak.
In ten minutes, Jenkins was able to sit up with his hands on the ground. He barely reached out and stroked the well-behaved cat. The cat immediately shook its head and rubbed against his palm.
He didn't rush to pick up the alarm clock, but the face on the alarm clock was staring at him with malice, like chocolate staring at dinner.
The clock is now turning counterclockwise, and the distance from the three pointers to 12 indicates that there are still 22 hours and 40 minutes left, which means that if various emergencies are not dealt with, Jenkins and the professor will still be in the basement. Stays for 22+ hours.
After almost recovering, he went to check on the professor's condition. There was no external injury on his body, but his brows were tightly furrowed, as if he was having a nightmare. The professor held a poker in his hand. Jenkins was sure that this thing didn't exist before entering the strange world, so it should be something the professor found at the cost of coma.
The objects brought into the basement by two people and one cat are a statue of a woman with a broken arm, a black chess piece, an empty water glass, a pen, a feather, a bracelet, a ring, and a poker.
Among them, the cat brought three items, more than the unconscious professor. Although Jenkins is curious about how chocolate does it, it should be because of its luck.
This is the power of that "meow" just now.
Chocolate showed a smug expression, but quickly covered it up, for fear of being discovered by a sensitive man.
