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

Everyone stood in the hall of the "Future" clock tower, and all kinds of clocks were still in sight. The uniform ticking sound echoed in their ears. Mingyue had gradually become numb to this sound.

Mitsue Terai introduced to everyone that the "Future" bell tower has six floors. The fifth floor is Miss Forever's living room, and the sixth floor is the activity room. The activity room is connected to the circular corridor, has no walls, and is an open area.

Everyone walked to the sixth floor and were shocked by the scene in front of them. This activity room is like a small park, with slides, swings, various amusement facilities, and a small carousel surrounded by flowers.

Because of these facilities, the ceiling on the sixth floor is very high. There seem to be several skylights on the ceiling, but now the entire roof is dark and it is not very clear.

"Wow~ This place is so beautiful, it's like a garden, and there are flowers blooming in such a dark place?" Xiao Shimizu Noriko looked around with bright eyes.

Miyano Shiho looked around, his eyes filled with envy, "Mingyue, don't you think this is like a scene in a fairy tale? Every detail is designed with great care."

"Sister Shiho, do you like it?" Mingyue looked at Miyano Shiho, "How about we get one too?"

Miyano Shiho shook his head, "Although it is very realistic, the fake will always be fake. In such a dark environment, the plants cannot bloom, bear fruit, or even survive."

The corner of Mingyue's mouth twitched, "I'm talking about those amusement facilities, not these fake flowers."

Akai Shuichi followed the two girls, looked at the surrounding scene, and thought to himself: Oh, this father must have put a lot of thought into his daughter.

There are two doors on the fifth floor, but they are locked and cannot be entered. Mingyue guessed that it should be similar to Mrs. Time's living room.

The fourth floor has the same twelve rooms as the "past" bell tower. The rooms are marked with Roman numerals. The furnishings in the rooms are exactly the same as before. Everyone thought they were back in the "past" bell tower.

The third floor is still the kitchen, dining room and study room, but the difference is that it is the study room. "In the past" the bell tower was filled with books. "Now" the study room in the bell tower is filled with discs. There are a huge number of discs, but these discs are not in the original packaging, but wrapped in brown paper with handwritten text on them.

The first and second floors are still used as warehouses. There are many items stacked inside, including many giant dolls. It would be difficult to find someone hiding here.

After everyone looked around, they returned to the restaurant on the third floor and sat down. Even Nonomiya Taichi was there, which made many people feel weird.

Fukunishi Ryota glanced at Nonomiya Taichi and muttered with some dissatisfaction, "This crazy old man didn't even bother to go back to his room? It's really strange."

Xiao Shimizu Noriko looked at the similar scenes around her, frowning, and moved closer to Akai Shuichi, whispering: "They can't be dead, after all, that person's predictions will come true."

However, at this time, Nonomiya Taichi was just gnawing on the bread blankly, as if nothing could affect his eating.

Kobayakawa Shigeru sighed, "Noriko, don't scare yourself. They are just hiding from us. This bell tower is so big, it is easy for them to hide it, and there must be a secret passage in this bell tower. Miss Terai, do you know where the secret passage is?"

"I have never heard the owner say that there is a secret passage in the bell tower." Mitsue Terai's face showed no emotion at all. She seemed to have expected to be asked this question, and she seemed to have recited the answer in her mind several times.

Kobayakawa Shigeru looked at Jun Kawaharazaki who was drinking coffee, and said with a smile: "Director, let's show off your cards. Did you arrange this script? It's really hard to entertain old classmates in this way. Let them come out. , To be honest, I'm a little scared too." The smile on Kobayakawa Shigeru's face gradually faded.

Kawahara Sakijun put down the coffee in his hand and said with some embarrassment: "How could I do such a boring thing? To be honest, I don't know where they are."

Fukunishi Ryota stared at Kawahara Sakijun with his small eyes and sneered: "Don't lie, you are the one who found that cameraman. I saw him taking pictures with a miniature camera. Now that the person has disappeared, the miniature camera He's also gone. Did you arrange for him to be nearby to take pictures of our horrified expressions? As far as I know, the cameraman seems to be good at capturing these."

Shigero Kobayakawa looked at Jun Kawarasaki with a sincere face and said, "Just tell the truth, or show us the script. Maybe we will perform better."

Kawahara Saki Jun smacked his lips and frowned, "I told you there was no script. Utsumi was indeed called by me. I also asked him to check the photos last night, but I didn't let him disappear."

"Oh, so you made that woman from Komyoji Temple disappear?" Fukunishi Ryota caught the loophole in Kawahara Sakijun's words.

Kawahara Sakijun felt like his head was pounding, "Oh, no."

"Hey~ you just don't want to admit that I saw through your plan." Fukunishi Ryota raised his chin, "After all, in your eyes, we can only do odd jobs for you."

Mingyue glanced at the clock hanging on the wall. The hour hand pointed to the number 7 and the minute hand pointed to the number 12. The dinner in the "Future" clock tower also came to an end.

"Seriously, we should have a séance when we come here. Heyuan, you really should contact Guangming Temple and ask her to come out. The red candles and sound devices in the previous séance were actually You should prepare it." Kobayakawa Shigeru said calmly.

Jun Kawahara looked helpless, "I've said it many times, don't test me anymore. I really don't know where they are, and I want them to come out too."

Fukunishi Ryota picked his teeth with a toothpick, "Stop pretending, Heyuan, your acting skills are terrible. That woman from Guangmingji Temple is good at everything, she just keeps nagging. She and I are going to get married, but who knows, suddenly she says If we want to break up, the person she likes cannot be among you."

"I think Guangmingji should choose you to be her husband." Kawahara Saki Jun folded his arms and looked at Fukunishi Ryota, suppressing the anger in his heart, thinking that he really failed at judging people.

However, Kawahara Sakijun's words seemed to please Fukunishi Ryota. He raised his eyebrows and said, "Oh, so that's what you think."

Shigero Kobayakawa adjusted his glasses, "When I first joined the magazine, I was assigned to organize the previous files, and I remember seeing Mikoto's article. She seemed to have been molested while walking on the street, but the person who molested her She was killed by something falling from a high altitude. I can’t remember exactly what it was. After that, many strange things seemed to happen around her.”

Ryota Fukunishi looked at the ticking clock, "I know this. That person just took advantage of sex. What's the result? God's way is reincarnation, evil people will be punished, and they will be punished when they do evil."

Kobayakawa Shigeru continued: "By the way, Atsushi Utsumi is not the same cameraman who shot "Angel of the Abyss" eight years ago."

Kawahara Sakijun nodded, "Yes, that's him. That photo is very shocking. A beautiful woman in a nurse's uniform was pressed under the car, her beautiful face was revealed, and she stretched out a bloody hand while shouting While calling for help, there was fire in the car and blood on his face. The whole scene looked like an angel being dragged into hell."

Mitsue Terai looked gloomy and remained silent. He came to the kitchen alone to clean up the dishes.

Miyano Shiho took a sip of the juice in his hand, with a dark look in his eyes.

Mingyue asked: "What happened to that nurse in the end?"

Jun Kawahara looked over and said, "Little sister, is that the photo you are asking about?"

Mingyue nodded.

"Of course he died. I heard that his death was very tragic. He was burned alive. After that, Atsushi Utsumi rarely took such shocking photos. I called him here this time in the hope of taking good photos." Heyuan Qijun leaned back in his chair and fell into deep thought.

Mingyue asked in an innocent voice: "How could Miss Guangmingji allow him to take pictures? Bringing the camera in, won't it affect the séance?"

Everyone was silent.

"Is the seance a fake?" Xiao Qingshui Noriko stared at the people with wide eyes.

Kawahara Sakijun swallowed a mouthful of saliva and glanced to the side.

Kobayakawa Shigeru put a smile on his face, "Although I was really scared at that time, but later I thought about it, there should be an agency, plus there was a director of horror movies beside me." Kobayakawa Shigeru looked towards Heyuan Qijun, Heyuan Qijun sighed and said nothing, taking it as acquiescence.

Mitsue Terai came over with a puzzled look on his face, "Isn't the question I asked answered by Madam?"

Kawahara Sakijun rubbed his chin, "Let me have a showdown with everyone. One sound means 'yes' and two means 'no'. However, the originally designed answer was not like that. This also led to me asking half-way, not knowing what to do. How to proceed? If it weren't for Miss Terai's question, the seance would have been ruined."

"It turns out it's all fake." Mitsue Terai looked frustrated, "I thought I really saw Madam."

Kawahara Sakijun clasped his hands together and said, "I'm really sorry. In fact, this was also discussed with the owner of the hotel. After all, this can eliminate the misunderstandings of the people around the hotel."

Terai Mitsue sighed, feeling sluggish.

"If I had known that I could sneak something in, I would have hidden my cell phone. It's so boring here. Noriko, I have to come here because of work arrangements. I heard someone say that there are real ghosts here half a year ago , came here to collect information and got to know the owner. I was invited by the owner to come here a few days ago. He said he wanted to make those ghosts become Buddhas. I think he just wants to be famous. What about you?" Fukunishi Ryota glanced at everyone with his small eyes. .

"I was also invited to come. The reason for coming here is the same as Heyuan. The owner of the museum hopes that I can publish what happened in the museum in a magazine to eliminate people's misunderstandings about the mansion." Kobayakawa Shigeru glanced around, "Tingjiu After hearing the ticking sound, I don’t feel noisy anymore.”

Jun Kawahara looked at Shigeru Kobayakawa, "Does your magazine have a large audience? Actually, I thought the owner only invited me, but I didn't expect all four of us to be here."

"Before I came here, I thought I would meet many friends from the magazine, but I didn't expect that I would be the only one." Kobayakawa Shigeru took a deep breath, "Actually, I came here to make up for the sins I had committed."

Xiao Shimizu Noriko frowned, "You don't blame us for that matter at all!"

Nonomiya Taichi stared coldly at the people around him, no one knew what he was thinking. Those hazy eyes looked at Miyano Shiho. Miyano Shiho felt as if he was being stared at by a poisonous snake and couldn't help but shudder.

The slight movement attracted the attention of Akai Shuichi, and Fukunishi Ryota also looked over, "Are you really the woman from Guangming Temple who came here? If so, Guangming Temple may have been hidden by you. Tell me, we will do it later What to do?"

Akai Shuichi said coldly: "We don't know where Guangming Temple is."

"There are three of you, three rooms, it's easy to hide one person." Fukunishi Ryota stared at Akai Shuichi with his small eyes.

Mingyue took the topic with a smile, "Mr. Fauci, if you had any plans, would you tell a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl? If you tell us, there is a risk that we will tell them."

Fuxiliang's small eyes narrowed, making him look even smaller.

"If they are still at the bell tower in the past, they can come out at noon the day after tomorrow, right? Sister Terai." Mingyue looked at Mitsue Terai with a smile.

Terai Mitsue nodded, "Of course. And I was just worried about this problem, so I left some food in the bell tower."

"Sister Terai is so gentle~" Mingyue smiled so hard that her teeth disappeared.

Kawahara Sakijun glanced at the clock, "Time flies so fast. It's already half past seven. We haven't chosen the room on the fourth floor yet."

Everyone came to the fourth floor, just like the clock tower "in the past", with twelve rooms, just like the twelve numbers on the dial.

Terai Mitsue looked at everyone, "Everyone chooses a room to stay in at will. Every room is the same. The room is relatively small, so it is most comfortable for one person to live alone. However, if you are afraid of living together, it is okay, but it is a bit crowded." After that, he looked towards Noriko Koshimizu.

Kawahara Sakijun looked at Akai Shuichi, "Last time you were the last to choose, this time you choose first."

"Let them choose first. I don't know what they are going to do." Fukunishi Ryota showed displeasure, "After all, two people are already missing."

Xiao Shimizu Noriko whispered: "Should we check the room first, what if those two people have already moved in?"

Everyone also thought it would be best to check, so they opened all the doors and went into each room to check, but there was no trace of the two people.

"Okay, let's do this. Now the doors are all open. Whoever wants to live in that room should stand at the door of that room. If two people choose the same room, guess the game. The winner will move in, and the loser will move in. If you don't like it, choose another room." Jun Kawahara proposed a plan.

Everyone agreed to the plan, took action, and walked to the door of the room. It seemed that by some divine will, everyone tacitly chose a room with a different room number than the previous one, and no one chose the same room.

The rooms chosen by everyone in the "Future" Bell Tower are as follows:

Room 1: no one

Room 2: no one

Room 3: Maid Mitsue Terai

Room 4: Reporter Noriko Koshimizu

Room 5: Shuichi Akai

Room 6: Miyano Shiho

Room 7: Monáe Mingyue

Room 8: no one

Room 9: Novelist Ryota Fukunishi

Room 10: Director Jun Kawahara Saki

Room 11: Editor Shigero Kobayakawa

Room 12: Fortune Teller Nonomiya Taichi

The whereabouts of psychic medium Kokoji Mikoto and photographer Utsumi Atsushi are unknown.

Akai Shuichi and Ming Yue first entered Room 5 and Room 7 respectively. After packing some personal toiletries, they both got into Room 6 and locked the door tightly.

Mingyue stared at the glass clock in a daze.

Miyano Shiho looked over and asked softly: "Mingyue, are you feeling uncomfortable? You have been staring at this clock for a long time."

Mingyue shook her head and smiled, "No."

"Has the effect of the medicine worn off?" Miyano Shiho put his hand on Mingyue's wrist. After a moment, he said, "Fifty times a minute, it seems the medicine has worn off."

Mingyue looked cute, and Akai Shuichi looked over with suspicion in his eyes.

Suddenly Mingyue looked serious, put her right index finger on her lips, made a silent gesture, quickly walked to the door, raised her ears, and listened to the sounds outside.

Akai Shuichi picked up a paper cup and put it against the door, also listening to the sounds outside.

A piercing scream was followed by urgent footsteps, followed by a knock on the door.

Mingyue took a step back, and there was a knock on the door of Room 6. Shuichi Akai glanced at Mingyue and Miyano Shiho, and opened the door.

Mitsue Terai stood at the door, his face full of horror, "Mr. Utsumi is dead, in the hall."

Shuichi Akai's eyes were sharp and he said to Mitsue Terai: "Call everyone else out and gather in the lobby." He turned to look at Mingyue and Shiho and said in a questioning tone, "Shall we go down and take a look?"

"Let's go." Miyano Shiho stood up and walked out.

Mingyue came to the hall and looked at the clock on the wall. The hour hand pointed between 8 and 9, and the minute hand pointed at the number 4.

The body of Atsushi Utsumi was in the center of the hall, with his head facing the spiral staircase and his feet facing the middle of the two mechanical doors. There was a bloody clock beside him. The clock seemed to be broken. The hands were not running and the hour hand pointed to the number 8. , the minute hand points to the number 12.

Akai Shuichi watched Miyano Shiho step forward to conduct an autopsy. Although he did not want the two girls to come into contact with any corpses, it was not a wise choice to leave them in the room on the fourth floor.

Utsumi Atsushi's body was lying on his back, his right temple was hit hard, his face was frightened, his cornea was slightly turbid, and his body had restraint injuries.

Akai Shuichi stepped forward to check the mandibular joint of the corpse and found that rigor mortis was severe.

Miyano Shiho took the handkerchief handed over by Ming Yue, wrapped his fingers with it, and pressed the spots on the body. The spots on the body faded slightly, "It has reached the spreading stage. He should have been dead for twelve hours. There is no way to do a more accurate diagnosis." Check, so the error should be about two hours.”

At this time, a lot of messy footsteps came from the spiral staircase.

"What? Utsumi is dead?!" Kawahara Sakijun ran first, his face full of nervousness.

A group of people ran down from upstairs. Mingyue glanced around and saw that everyone was here, including Nonomiya Taiqi, but he followed slowly at the back.

Xiao Shimizu Noriko glanced at the tragic death of Utsumi Atsushi, threw herself into Mitsue Terai's arms and trembled, muttering in a low voice, "Fake, they are all fake, they are all lies, they are all lies..."

Mitsue Terai gently patted Kiko Shimizu on the back, trying to comfort her.

"We will all die, the God of Death has come, we will all die." After saying this, Nonomiya Taichi left tremblingly, and everyone saw him walking into Room 12.

Kawahara Sakijun walked to Utsumi Atsushi's body and looked at the bloody clock. "He must have been hit to death by this clock." He looked around and saw that there were all clocks on the wall. He frowned and said, "This clock Where did it come from?”

Fukunishi Ryota looked excited, "The prisoner must have waited until we all returned to the room before killing him. The clock is the best proof."

Kobayakawa Shigeru squatted down and touched Utsumi Atsushi's neck with his fingers, "No, his body is already cold. It was probably eight o'clock this morning, probably not eight o'clock last night. We saw him at eight o'clock."

Noriko Xiaoqingmizu shouted hysterically, "We were all together during that time, and no one came here! And the time of the clock can be adjusted, the eight o'clock is not necessarily accurate! Maybe the murderer misled us !”

Akai Shuichi held his chin and looked at the body on the ground, "He should have died twelve hours ago, which is consistent with the time on the clock."

"This clock should have disappeared from Room 3 of the clock tower." Kobayakawa Shigeru pushed up his glasses. The glasses reflected light, making it difficult to see his expression at this time.

Ryota Fukoshi frowned, "So he was killed in the clock tower in the past, but why did he suddenly appear here? We checked every floor when we came here, and no body was found!"

"Yeah, how did he get here?"
