Ming Ke: When the villain accidentally mixes into the protagonist group

Mingyue sat by the bed and looked at the glazed clock on the wall. The pendulum was swinging regularly. At this time, the hour hand pointed to the number 3 and the minute hand pointed to the number 12.

There was the sound of someone opening the door, and then a series of footsteps. Mingyue walked to the door and listened, as if someone had gone downstairs.

Alas, there is no Scottish ear to distinguish the sound of footsteps. In addition, there are too few things that can be brought in, which is really inconvenient, otherwise the sensory-expanding drugs would not be used.

Akai Shuichi sat up and whispered: "What's wrong?"

"Someone is coming downstairs," Mingyue put her index finger to her lips and stood by the door, listening carefully to what was going on outside. After a while, Mingyue walked to the bed and sat down. "Maybe someone was hungry or thirsty and went downstairs to get something to eat. That person has gone back to the room now."

Akai Shuichi did not see the tired look on Mingyue's face, but he still said softly: "Why don't you take a rest?"

"No." Mingyue glanced at Miyano Shiho who was sleeping soundly on the bed.

"Is it the medicine that's keeping you awake?"

Mingyue looked at Akai Shuichi and had to sigh, he was indeed the FBI's ace agent. He tilted his head and said with a smile: "Are you going to force me to sleep?"

"I will do what I promised. Or do you not believe my personal guarantee?" Akai Shuichi looked serious.

Mingyue sighed, smiled and asked, "Didn't you already guess the reason?"

Akai Shuichi's eyes turned sharp, "Is it Ireland? He gave you the medicine?"

"How could you doubt him? I used it myself."

Akai Shuichi looked at Miyano Shiho. She was sleeping soundly and was not awakened by the conversation between the two. "She doesn't seem to want you to do such a thing."

Mingyue shrugged helplessly, "Sometimes I have to do this. After all, I don't want to be in unknown dangers. Can I not tell her that I don't sleep?"

"I'm not sure I can hide it from her, but I hope you can confess something to me afterwards." Akai Shuichi frowned.

Mingyue suppressed her smile, "What do you want to know? You also know that I don't trust you very much, and I won't tell you everything."

Akai Shuichi stared at Mingyue's bright eyes, his thoughts were spinning a thousand times, and there were too many questions he wanted to ask. Moreover, the girl in front of him seemed to have suspected his identity, but the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, "I hope you can tell me , what happened to you? I am very concerned about the impact of those drugs on you."

"Are you worried about me?" Mingyue looked confused. She had endured such a good opportunity clearly, but then she thought about it. If she asked some other questions, it would probably arouse unnecessary vigilance.

Akai Xiu nodded, "Well, I am a little worried. If your sisters knew about it, they would also ask you. If you want to hide it from them, you need me to cover it up. Or when they find out, you will also He will tell you the answer, and he will also be lectured by them."

Mingyue grinded her teeth, being manipulated by this annoying FBI, and said with an unhappy face: "The deal is done, I will tell you alone after the mission is over."

"Well, I will abide by the agreement, but if you are discovered by her, then there is nothing I can do." Akai Shuichi raised the corner of his mouth in a nice arc and looked at the sleeping Miyano Shiho.

A small tic-tac-toe appeared above the bright moon.

In the guest room of the mansion, Ireland was awakened by the sound of the six o'clock bell, and Ikumi Gunda was also awakened.

At this time, the sky was bright and the birds were chirping non-stop. The three bell towers looked like three giants standing in the woods.

"Mr. DeGrasse, you're awake too." Gunda Ikumi walked to Ireland in her pajamas.

Ireland looked at Gunda Ikumi, "Did Miss Gunda also be awakened by the sound of the bell?"

"Well, I don't know what the situation is like in the clock tower. I heard from the owner that they will go from the past clock tower to the future clock tower at six o'clock in the evening."

"I'm really curious about what's like inside the clock tower. Although Mr. Gu Ezhi said that the decoration inside is similar to the current clock tower, but I haven't seen it with my own eyes, so it can't satisfy my curiosity." Ireland stared at the clock tower intently.

Gunda Ikumi tilted his head, "Is it just curiosity? I originally thought there was someone from Mr. De Grasse in the clock tower. After all, you often stare at the clock tower in a daze."

Ireland was a little nervous, but on the surface his face was still calm, and his heart was not beating, "Really? Actually, there are many things I haven't figured out. If I keep staring, I might be able to figure out something."

"Well, it's a little weird. For example, the owner of the museum suddenly invited a group of people to enter the bell tower. Moreover, the bell tower cannot communicate with the outside world. We don't know what is going on inside. It's like being separated from the world." Gunda Yumei looked at the clock tower in the morning light. The numbers on the dial of the clock tower were vaguely visible, but the hands could not be seen.

At this time, the housekeeper Yibo appeared behind the two of them, "I'm sorry, you two must have been woken up by the bell. Do you need breakfast now?"

"No, I think I have to thank the bell for allowing me to see the beautiful sunrise." Ikumi Gunda looked up at the glowing sky, "Hey, I'm going to wash up first. I'll see you all soon."

Ireland looked at Butler Yibo, "Can I walk around in the museum?"

"Of course, please do as you like." Butler Yibo bowed, "I'm sorry that I can't accompany you. I have to prepare breakfast. Master Chi will have breakfast in the restaurant on time at seven o'clock."

After Ireland separated from the Yibo steward, he went to the tombstone between the three bell towers. The front of the tombstone was engraved with "The Tomb of Ancient Eternity", "The Tomb of Gu'erundian" and "The Tomb of Ancient Era".

There were flowers and tributes placed in front of the tombstone, and it seemed that someone had paid homage recently. But who would seriously build a tombstone here? It seems that the rumors of ghosts are not groundless, but I don’t know how credible they are.

Ireland noticed a line of sight coming from the direction of the mansion. It seemed that there were many secrets in this mansion. He raised his eyebrows, pretended to come to pay homage, bowed, and slowly walked around the tombstone.

Walking behind the tombstone, Ireland saw a poem engraved on the tombstone:

As Urd and Verdanti carved letters into the wood,

Shikodi lifted the veil and unfolded the book he was holding tightly in his hand.

The silent goddesses are bound in the prison of fate,

When the day of execution came, Nolen sang a solemn song,

Let time end in that earth-shattering gorgeous movement.

A song that can only be sung once is a beautiful dying melody,

Lament and pray with the bones of the sinful beast,

Dedicate it to our tombstone to comfort the souls in heaven.

Ireland frowned. Could it be that Mrs. Time is European? Looking up at the three bell towers, isn't this the goddess of fate in Nordic mythology?

Urd is in charge of the past, Verdanti is in charge of the present, and Shikodi is in charge of the future. Together, they are also called the three Norn goddesses, but when is the "day of execution"? What does the “skeleton of a sinful beast” refer to?

What concerned Ireland the most were the four words "dying melody" and he looked up at the "past" bell tower.

Don't let anything happen to you in there!

He took out his cell phone from his pocket, read the mission email again and again, and walked around the bell tower to evaluate whether he could climb the bell tower and knock on the windows above.

Gunda Ikumi came over and also saw the poem behind the tombstone. She frowned and didn't seem to understand the content of the poem. "It's seven o'clock. Let's go to the restaurant first. Maybe we can get some information from the owner." Ask for some information we want.”

Ireland nodded, feeling that something was about to happen.

In the dining room, Butler Yibo prepared a sumptuous breakfast, and the guests and guests were enjoying themselves at the table.

"Master Zhi, I accidentally wandered in front of the tombstone this morning and saw a poem engraved on the back of the tombstone. Is there any meaning in it?" Ireland looked at Gu Ezhi, who was dressed in black.

Gu Ezhi put down the tableware and said, "Mr. Lundian asked me to carve this poem on the back of his tombstone before he died. I don't quite understand its meaning. I wonder if this detective lady can answer it for us?"

Gunda Ikumi gently wiped her mouth with a tissue, "I'm sorry, I didn't interpret it successfully. I want to know, have the three bell towers outside been repaired since they were built?"

"After Miss Forever passed away, Mr. Lundian found someone to repair it. In five years, he found about a dozen repair companies, and each maintenance team only did part of the work. Part of it was done by Mr. Lundian himself. Of course, my father and Housekeeper Yibo's husband also repaired it, but I don't know exactly where it was renovated and what it was repaired." Gu Ezhi seemed to be lost in memories.

Gunda Ikumi continued to ask: "I see there is a dial on the clock tower, but there are no hands. Is it broken?"

"Well, yes, about a year or two ago, some of the hands of the watch broke due to various reasons, so we took them off." Butler Ibo poured a cup of coffee for Gunda Yumi.

Gu Ezhi nodded and looked at Ireland and Gunda Yumi, "You two have come from afar, and I sincerely invite you to participate in the local summer festival."

"We all left the mansion, they were in the clock tower..." Ireland was a little uneasy.

Gu Ezhi was stunned for a moment, then said with a smile: "Tell them, that's where Mrs. Time and Miss Forever live. Is there any problem?"

"But we can't contact them." Ireland felt that there was something hidden in Gu Ezhi's smile.

Gu Ezhi sighed and looked at Butler Yibo, "They have been in for twenty hours, and they will be out in fifty-two hours."

Butler Yibo glanced at the clock on the wall. The hour hand pointed to the number 8 and the minute hand pointed to 12. With a smile on his face, he said, "Yes, at twelve noon the day after tomorrow, they will come out of the clock tower, and Miss Forever's ghost will also be there." Become a Buddha."

After Ireland heard the word "Become a Buddha", he remembered the last sentence of the poem behind the tombstone, "Dedicated to my tombstone to comfort the soul in heaven." He looked at the three towering bell towers with complicated emotions.

"Mr. DeGrasse, Mr. DeGrasse..." Gunda Ikumi called to Ireland.

Ireland came back to his senses, "Huh? What's wrong?"

"Everyone is waiting for you," Gunda Ikumi took a few steps forward, "Go to the Summer Festival. I know you care about the people in the clock tower, but for now we can only follow the script made by others."

Ireland followed Ikumi Gunada, "What do you mean by this?"

"Take it one step at a time. After all, Shikodi's veil has not yet been lifted. Premature intervention will be counterproductive. You probably didn't come here to explore ghosts." Gunda Ikumi looked at Ireland, " Those who love the supernatural don’t have muscles like you.”

Ireland sighed, "This is the first time I've seen a detective wearing a lab coat. I wonder what Miss Gunda is curious about here?"

"Although we don't know each other well, it doesn't hinder cooperation." Ikumi Gunada invited Ireland to cooperate, and Ireland readily agreed.

The group of people went to the location of the summer festival and did not return to the mansion until the clock rang at twelve o'clock.

"Past" In the clock tower, before the six o'clock bell rang, everyone had woken up one after another.

Miyano Shiho woke up in a daze, looked at the bright moon and the stars beside the bed, and looked at the glass clock on the wall, "You guys go to sleep, I'm ready."

"Sister Shiho, I'm so hungry that I can't sleep." Mingyue looked at Miyano Shiho who was still yawning.

Gollum~

Miyano Shiho's stomach growled softly, but because the environment was very quiet, both Mingyue and Akai Shuichi heard it.

Mingyue blinked and pursed her lips, but there was a smile in her eyes.

Miyano Shiho's face suddenly turned red, he covered his stomach with his hands, and glared at Mingyue fiercely.

"After all, there is a problem with food. It's normal to be hungry." Shuichi Akai put away the floor, opened the door and looked outside, and happened to see Mitsue Terai walking out of Room 7.

Mitsue Terai bowed to Akai Shuichi, "Good morning, Mr. Morohoshi, what would you like for breakfast? I'll prepare it now."

"I don't have anything in particular to eat, but my sisters are a little hungry."

Mingyue jumped out from behind Akai Hideichi, "Sister Terai, I'm so hungry."

"Mitsue! I'm so hungry! When are we going to eat?" The door to room No. 5 was opened, and Nonomiya Taichi came out.

Mingyue quickly walked to the door of room No. 5 and looked inside. The toilet door was open, and the small room could be seen at a glance. Mikoto Guangmingji was not inside. She looked up to the fifth floor, her eyes widened. The door on the fifth floor opened!

Terai Mitsue looked up and said, "Huh? Mrs. Time's door is open!"

Nonomiya Taiqi glanced tremblingly, ran into the room as if fleeing, and closed the door with a bang.

Mingyue and Akai Hide glanced at each other, then ran up the spiral staircase and went straight to the fifth floor.

"Mr. Morohoshi, let's go up too." Miyano Shiho followed closely behind Mingyue.

Akai Shuichi looked around and nodded, "Yes."

Mitsue Terai bit his lip and followed him up to the fifth floor. Noriko Shimizu, who had just walked out of Room 7, was stunned in place without knowing what happened.

The living room of the lady on the fifth floor is extremely clean, as if someone lives here and cleans it every day. The circular room has two doors. The room is fully equipped with tables, chairs, benches, and a piano.

Mingyue gently pressed a few keys with her fingers and found that the sound was accurate.

Akai Shuichi noticed a dark stain on the ground near a clock. He touched it with his hand and found that it was already dry, but the color looked like a blood stain. This stain looked very strange in this clean room.

Ming Yue did not find Mikoto Guangmingji in the room. She picked up a book from the desk. There was no dust on the book. When she opened it, it turned out to be a diary. The time of the diary was eighteen years ago.

"Mingyue, I found a diary, the date is twenty-one years ago." Miyano Shiho held a thick notebook in his hand.
