Chapter 432: The Wang Family Mansion Lost the Pendulum Clock
"The ____ does not work!"

Although Tong Qian was weak, she guessed what He Yiner was talking about. The remaining two items were nothing more than the two notebooks written by Wang Lu that they had just obtained.

She advised anxiously, "Those two notebooks are very important. There are so many things worth studying in them. Anything you use will be damaged, and you won't know anything by then."

"If we die here, all the secrets will be buried here and cannot be taken out. What's the point?" He Yin'er asked back.

Tong Qian said anxiously: "With the store manager's spiritual protection, even if our bodies are completely damaged, our consciousness will not die. What's more, this is the store manager's ghost domain."

"It's because this is the store manager's ghost domain. If we are really attacked, we might die." He Yiner interrupted Tong Qian.

That's right.

They are under the spiritual protection of the "store manager", and the essence of this spiritual protection is the spiritual extension of the white fog ghost domain, which can protect their consciousness from being eroded and harmed by other spiritual things to a certain extent.

But this also involves a permission issue.

That is, which one has higher authority, this instinctive spiritual protection or the cognition of the "store manager"?
When the "store manager" believes that they should die, will the supernatural power that belongs to the "store manager" still protect their consciousness?
The answer to this question doesn't seem to require much thought.

Tong Qian also thought of this and her face looked a little ugly, while He Yiner no longer hesitated and took out the notebook.

The swarm of snakes behind her was coming like a tide. If she didn't take action, she would definitely be drowned by the tide of snakes.

By then, there’s no chance of survival!

"Wait, wait! There's a way!" Tong Qian suddenly shouted.

He Yin'er looked in the direction of the big iron gate in surprise. When they went there before, there was a void of white behind the big iron gate, as if everything had been swallowed up and there was nothing at all.

But now, a staircase leading upwards appeared behind it.

"go!"

There was no need, so He Yin'er naturally would not choose to use up these two notebooks. When they rushed to the door, they heard a series of footsteps coming from the stairs.

"He Yin'er? Tong Qian? Why are there only two of you? Where are Brother Yuan and Fang Shiming? Also, what's the shape of you guys? Are you being chased by some wild beast?"

Sitting on the shoulders of a robot, Liu Qingqing looked down at the two of them.

Before the two could answer, she heard the hissing sound in her ears. When she looked up, she saw the tide of snakes only a few meters away from here.

Countless brightly colored snakes with delicate arms intertwined and twisted together, rushing towards this direction.

For a while.

Liu Qingqing felt goose bumps all over her body, her pupils suddenly shrank, and she was speechless for a moment.

"Go! And, let your robots cover the rear!"

He Yin'er carried Tong Qian on her back and rushed directly past Liu Qingqing's robot into the iron gate. Liu Qingqing just reacted and quickly patted the robot's head, "Let's go!"

The robot turned around and followed He Yiner into the iron gate.

At the same time, a space crack appeared, and one faceless robot after another walked out from inside, blocking the door tightly without any gap.

Then, the snake tide came!
Knowing the pattern, He Yiner, Tong Qian and Liu Qingqing escaped quickly, and the snake tide did not chase them out again, so they seemed safe.

Walking in the corridor on the third floor, He Yiner asked, "Where are the others? Why are you the only one here?"

Liu Qingqing was still sitting on the robot's shoulder. She patted her chest with lingering fear and said, "I don't know. He Yuelian, Guo Fan and I were originally together. Later, the door painted on the wall appeared, and He Yuelian and I went in together. But for some reason, I didn't see her again."

"It's because of time. The bell adjusted the time. You can see from the pocket watch that the current time and normal time are no longer the same. We have been sent to different times, so naturally we can't see each other." Tong Qian said.

Now that everything was basically safe, He Yiner put Tong Qian down and said breathlessly, "We need to wait until the time on the pocket watch matches the real time before we can return to reality."

Liu Qingqing frowned, "It's a bit troublesome, but you should tell me where Brother Yuan went, why wasn't he with you?"

"We found some diaries written by Wang Lu, the second generation of the Wang family, that is, Wang Chaling's father. When the store manager picked up these diaries, he suddenly disappeared. There should be some restriction on it that was triggered. After the store manager endured it, there was no effect when we picked it up again. But don't worry, the white fog around him is still there, he must be fine, and in his cognition, this is just a theme game, and there will be no real danger. Perhaps, it will be recognized as some kind of teleportation prop, teleporting him to an unknown space." He Yiner expressed her guess and took out the two notebooks at the same time.

Liu Qingqing was just about to take it and take a look when suddenly there was a noise coming from the direction of the hall, followed by a series of footsteps.

The three women looked at each other and became alert.

Soon, the series of footsteps came closer, and there were many animal calls, it sounded like...

"The sound of monkeys? This Wang family's old house is really lively, it's like a large zoo!" Liu Qingqing couldn't help gritting her teeth.

The swarm of snakes just now almost made her develop claustrophobia.

But what if it was a group of monkeys?

Ha ha!

Amid Liu Qingqing's sneer, a familiar gorilla came running forward, followed closely by a bunch of monkeys.

From time to time, monkeys would jump onto his back, but he would catch them with his big hands and throw them away, slamming them against the wall and turning them into monkey cakes.

After seeing Liu Qingqing and the others, he shouted in surprise: "Help me!"

"Is it Fang Shiming?" Seeing this, Liu Qingqing did not hesitate and immediately chose to take action.

An unknown space channel was opened, and one faceless robot after another walked out from it and pounced on the group of monkeys behind Fang Shiming.

gang war!
Liu Qingqing has never been afraid.

He Yin'er and Tong Qian looked at each other and did not stop Liu Qingqing's actions. However, when Fang Shiming rushed over, they surrounded him.

Fang Shiming fought with the monkeys for a long time.

Even if you carry the ghost coffin on your back, its effect is very limited if you can only swing it to hit people.

After all, there are too many monkeys!

This also caused Fang Shiming's gorilla body to be covered with scars and his physical strength was exhausted. Facing He Yiner and Tong Qian, as well as the two robots that Liu Qingqing specially sent to help, he could only smile bitterly in silence.

"Hand over the notebook."

Fang Shiming sighed, took out three notebooks from the clothes behind him, and handed them over together.

This kind of cooperation made the vigilant Tong Qian a little confused, but she had just seen that Fang Shiming had indeed only snatched away three notebooks.

"You didn't tear out something important inside?"

Fang Shiming shook his head, "You will know after checking it out."

His tone was low, as if he had lost all his energy, but the injuries on his body were only superficial, which they could still see.

Obviously, Fang Shiming must have encountered something else that made him so negative.

He Yin'er and Tong Qian looked at each other in confusion, but did not ask any more questions. Now was not the time to relax. So many monkeys needed to be dealt with properly.

The combat power of the robots summoned by Liu Qingqing can only be said to be average. If they want to become truly terrifying, they need to be given a face.

Fortunately, this aisle is not wide.

Only three robots were able to block the intersection, giving Liu Qingqing some time. When she fixed the face of the robot that was carrying her, everything was over.

Just because this face is Li Qingzhi's face!
Most of the so-called monkeys were just ghost slaves. There was only one real evil ghost. Facing Li Qingzhi, who was at the sixth level of strength in his prime, they had no ability to resist at all.

Even this robot Li Qingzhi doesn't have that old hatchet in his hand.

When the robot Li Qingzhi came back carrying the Monkey King with a red dot on his forehead, everything was over and this place was temporarily safe.

"Now I can take a good look at what Wang Lu wrote in his diary. I'm still very curious."

Liu Qingqing took the notebook and was absorbed in it at a glance. He Yiner and Tong Qian were also attracted by the diary that only had one entry in each notebook.

Fang Shiming gave the three girls a mocking look, then he sat carelessly against the wall, staring blankly ahead, and murmured in a low voice: "You... should be watching us, right?"

……

"Wang Chaling? How did you get in?"

In the corridor of the prison, He Yuelian, Xiao An and Xiao Xi were investigating here, trying to find other people, especially the trace of the "store manager".

But found nothing.

Instead, they encountered some wild beasts on the road that wanted to attack them, but they were all dealt with. Now Xiao An and Xiao Xi were each dragging a wild boar. The fangs were as long as an adult's forearm and weighed several hundred kilograms. It was estimated that it could fight with lions and tigers. Another person was dragging a crocodile, which was also not small in size.

Judging from their sizes, the wild boar and crocodile could devour the petite Xiao An and Xiao Xi alive in just two or three bites, but now they could only be dragged away obediently.

He Yuelian's eyes swept across Wang Chaling, then looked at Guo Fan, who was following Wang Chaling in dishevel and looked seriously frightened, and her eyes became strange.

"Don't get me wrong, I still like women. Guo Fan is afraid of being entangled by Lao Fan, so he hides with me." Wang Chaling hurriedly explained, feeling helpless at the same time.

Now Guo Fan is still in the state of a muscular man with revealing clothes, but he has a frightened expression like a little girl, which makes people feel uncomfortable and disgusted.

But Guo Fan kept sticking to him, saying that he was a guest of the Peace Hotel and the ghost messenger Lao Fan didn't dare to force his way in.

Although this is indeed the truth.

After Guo Fan followed Wang Chaling, the ghost catcher Lao Fan no longer "touched" him, but he was still very unwilling.

Could it be that beautiful female secretaries are no longer attractive?
He Yuelian didn't care about these things. It's not that she wasn't curious, but she was afraid of being embarrassed, so she asked directly: "Now the store manager has disappeared, and there are others. They also disappeared after entering this corridor. Shouldn't you tell us the reason? Don't think about being alone. You can't enter here voluntarily, right?" Wang Chaling's face changed slightly. He really didn't come here voluntarily. Pointing to the three tigers beside him, he said: "I didn't lie before. I don't know much about the situation of this old house. You can see that my father was lost and never found because he wanted to investigate the situation in the old house. If I knew the rules here, it wouldn't be like this."

This is a fact.

He Yuelian was very unwilling, but there was nothing she could do. Was she just going to wait like this?

……

"That's enough. There's no point in staying here any longer. There aren't as many ghosts imprisoned in the Wang family's old house as you might imagine, and there are relatively few special ones."

Lin Yuan returned to the second floor again and came to the mysterious pendulum clock.

Behind him, there was still the ghost of Wang Lu, but this time it seemed a little different from before, it was... whiter.

"It's a little whiter than before. There's nothing I can do about it. The white mist will always have some effect. But it doesn't matter. The degree of bleaching is very low. Wang Chaling shouldn't be able to recognize it."

"Speaking of which, the ghosts of the survival club members, this kid won't trick me, right?"

"I've never been at a disadvantage."

After taking a look at the mysterious pendulum clock, Lin Yuan's figure began to become blurred, an obvious sign that he was about to leave here and return to reality.

Not taking it anymore?

It was just a supernatural reboot, Lin Yuan didn't care that much. After all, he himself would reboot, and the scope and limit of the reboot were much larger and wider.

But, you must take it.

The moment Lin Yuan's figure disappeared, the mysterious pendulum clock also disappeared without a trace, as if it had never existed.

The moment the mysterious pendulum clock disappeared, the spiritual power of the old house was affected again.

The time and space cage constructed by the supernatural pendulum clock began to collapse at this moment, and the entire old house was greatly affected. The most obvious situation was that in the cage in the prison, one strange figure after another began to emerge, but then quickly changed and became one after another different kinds of beasts.

Everyone in the old house noticed this change.

It was just because Wang Chaling, Guo Fan, He Yuelian, Xiao An, Xiao Xi, as well as He Yiner, Fang Shiming, Liu Qingqing, and Tong Qian, who were originally in two different time and space, suddenly appeared in front of each other.

Eyes wide open!
This is the situation right now.

"Why are you here?" He Yuelian asked this question.

However, no one answered her. Everyone else took out their pocket watches to check. He Yuelian seemed to react at this moment and quickly took out her pocket watch and compared it with the time on her mobile phone.

"Impossible! How is it possible!"

Wang Chaling screamed out of control, his originally peaceful face becoming somewhat ferocious, "How could this happen? How could the supernatural power in the old house become ineffective? Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

As if unable to accept this shock, Wang Chaling rushed directly to the depths of the third floor, bringing the three terrifying tigers with him.

"It should be the store manager who took action. If anyone dared to plot against him, he would die without knowing how. Fortunately, he is merciful enough to only give him a light punishment!" Fang Shiming said with a mocking tone.

Everyone could hear that he was not only mocking Wang Chaling, but also mocking himself.

Back in Dajing City, he plotted against the "store manager" because of the "store manager's" blind date incident, but of course he failed, and he ended up with a ghost coffin on his back that made it impossible for him to live or die.

but now.

He clearly had the opportunity to take off the ghost coffin, which would have meant that His punishment on him was over, but he took the initiative to carry the entire ghost coffin.

So, what about Wang Chaling?

"The magic of time has failed. Brother Yuan disappeared next to the desk at the end of the corridor. He will most likely appear there again."

As soon as He Yiner finished speaking, He Yuelian and Liu Qingqing rushed out.

Liu Qingqing sat on the robot. The robot was very fast, much faster than a normal person, and He Yuelian was not slow either.

Pink peach petals were floating around her, making it look like a special effect.

And this special effect seems to have other effects, such as:

accelerate!
For a moment, the two people's speed was actually almost the same.

"They are really relentless in their pursuit of the boss. I don't know who will succeed in the end."

Guo Fan said this with emotion, but found that He Yin'er and others were staring at him with strange eyes. To be exact, they were staring at behind him. He suddenly felt a chill rising from behind him.

He didn't dare to look back, and could only force a smile, and said to himself: "Why are you looking at me like that? I, I am fine, right?"

Fang Shiming didn't say anything. He stood up and fled at the speed of light. In order to go even faster, he even gave up escaping the human way and instead used his hands and feet like a gorilla.

Don't say it.

It was really effective. He actually caught up with He Yuelian and Liu Qingqing, who had just accelerated and were ahead of everyone, at the end of everyone's sight.

Tong Qian pursed her lips and said, "You, wish yourself the best."

"I'll also go and see if Brother Yuan has returned. After all, this team building still needs a result." He Yiner got up and left.

"Hey! Don't leave!" Guo Fan was desperate.

"Remember, put on your clothes properly next time, maybe this won't happen again." Tong Qian reminded him and left with him.

But she still felt a little bit reluctant, so she looked back and saw Guo Fanguo standing there with his upper body naked with his clothes torn. He should have been a strong man, but now he looked like a little lamb, revealing the desperate expression of being captured by a big bad wolf but unable to resist.

Behind Guo Fan, there was only a ghost catcher named Lao Fan who was a size bigger than him.

Although he was standing behind Guo Fan, one could still see Lao Fan's burly figure and the fact that he was half a head taller than Guo Fan.

But in Lao Fan's eyes, Fang Shiming was still there.

But now.

But in its eyes, there was only Guo Fan.

"Compared to the ghost coffin, is the ghost controlled by Guo Fan a more important piece of the puzzle? Which ghost is it, and which spirit seat? The current ghost catcher is actually complete enough. The ghost coffin is the place where it was bred. What is the spirit seat? Could it be... consciousness!?!!!"

Tong Qian paused, and when she looked at the ghost catcher Lao Fan, she also revealed a trace of horror and fear, "If my guess is correct, then... Fortunately, the ghost catcher was taken away by the store manager in Huanggang Village. Otherwise, how terrible would a ghost with an almost unlimited growth limit, who can unconditionally suppress evil spirits according to the quota, and who also has self-awareness, be?"

Such an evil ghost shouldn't exist in the world!
Tong Qian was thinking so, but as she was thinking, her steps suddenly stopped. She looked at the thick white fog around her and felt a chill all over her body.

"Why does this description sound so much like... the store manager?"

……

Wang Chaling rushed first, but was not the first to enter the iron gate.

After losing the supernatural effect of the pendulum clock, everything in the old house returned to the real timeline, including this big iron gate.

Only the mysterious world behind the big iron gate remains.

The one who ran the fastest was Fang Shiming.

Although he was running a little behind, he surpassed Wang Chaling and was the first to enter the big iron gate. Even Liu Qingqing, who was sitting on the robot's shoulders, and He Yuelian, who had turned on the peach petal special effects, were about to surpass him.

Wang Chaling was extremely anxious, but there was nothing he could do.

After all, he is just an ordinary person.

Fang Shiming, Liu Qingqing and He Yuelian are all first-rate, or even top-notch ghost handlers. Even if they are restricted from using their supernatural powers, they can still express them in reasonable ways. They are undoubtedly much stronger than ordinary people.

Wang Cha Ling ran as fast as he could, but after only running a distance of just over a hundred meters, he was already out of breath and almost fainted due to the all-out sprint.

But despite this, there is no way to narrow the distance even a little bit.

Just when he was in despair, he suddenly felt his body lighten, and then he heard a tiger roar in his ears, as if an old tiger king who had been provoked roared in counterattack.

Wang Chaling lowered his head in confusion and saw a huge tiger head.

Although he couldn't see the whole picture, he recognized it at a glance, "Grandpa..."

Roar!
Roar!
Two tiger roars came from the left and right sides, and the tigers transformed from the evil spirits of his grandmother and his mother guarded him on both sides and rushed forward together.

A fire suddenly ignited in Wang Chaling's heart, "I'm coming!"

The method of entering the mysterious place has not changed, you still have to go down first and then back away with your eyes closed.

Wang Cha Ling was very aware of this. He controlled the tigers transformed by the three elders according to the rules and quickly stepped into the big iron gate and came to the space full of cages.

But as soon as I stepped in, a fishy wind blew.

Wang Cha Ling's face changed drastically, but fortunately he had made arrangements in advance and asked his grandpa, grandma and mother to protect him. Then he heard a bang.

The attacking objects flew backwards.

Wang Chaling finally had time to look forward, and then his expression suddenly changed, "Is this... a ghost town?"
