Bengtie: The first kiss in March was my gray hair

Chapter 108 The Clockmaker’s Legacy

Jiang Chen shook his dizzy head, shifting his gaze from the fonts in front of the bookshelf to the door not far from him.

The door did not seem to be locked, and a blue-white light curtain could be vaguely seen through the crack in the door.

Jiang Chen slowly moved towards the door, and as he got closer and closer to the door.

The childish voice sounded in my mind again, "Tick-tock~"

"Tick tock~"

"The door doesn't seem to be closed~"

As the sound rang out, rows of strange fonts gradually appeared on the walls and doors beside him.

"This……"

Jiang Chen stretched out his hand, penetrated the characters floating in the air, and pushed the door open.

As the door opened, the surrounding fonts began to slowly dissipate.

No one paid attention to this scene, which seemed a little weird to outsiders.

Jiang Chen walked straight out of the room, and as his feet left the door, the scene in front of him was completely reversed.

When he came to his senses again, he was in an even more bizarre corridor.

Whale-like creatures were floating everywhere in the corridor... They were just like the mysterious font, floating in the air and emitting a faint glow.

Jiang Chen followed the direction of the whales' heads and went straight ahead. Soon he saw the familiar figure not far away.

It was the firefly that fell into the dream before him. At this moment, the firefly lowered its head, as if looking at something.

As the distance between the two people shortened, he could see clearly.

It was a dead body, a body of something he had never seen before... a cat.

Next to the body, there was a dice as big as a football...

"Liu Ying, what are you doing?"

The girl was startled by the sudden voice, but she was relieved when she saw that the person was Jiang Chen.

"Pioneer, you are here too..."

Seeing that the girl was frightened by him, Jiang Chen scratched his head in embarrassment.

"Um... Liuying, do you know where this is? I was in the room just now and saw a lot of strange words floating in the air. And... what is this corpse at your feet?"

Hearing his series of questions, the girl explained in a serious manner: "I don't know where this place is! But from what I understand, this place is definitely no longer the beautiful dream constructed by my family."

"This place gives me a bad feeling. It's claustrophobic... secluded... uneasy... and what about the words floating in the air that you mentioned? There is no way there would be such a place in Pinocchio under family management."

"As for the body you mentioned, it was already here before I came. This is the most suspicious place. How could a body appear in Pinocchio, which is known as the land of dreams?"

"I believe you should have noticed the clocks and ticking sounds everywhere. I think this has something to do with the mysterious 'watchmaker'!"

"If we can find the secret hidden here, maybe we can get the watchmaker's inheritance!"

After listening to the girl's speculation, Jiang Chen nodded secretly. What the girl said was the same as what he was thinking.

From the moment he saw the clocks scattered everywhere, he knew that this place must be related to the mysterious Mr. Wumingke.

[The watchmaker's legacy? That's good, it saves me from searching everywhere. But... I have to waste a lot of time. Oops! I forgot to send a message to Sanyue before entering here... Uh~ I hope she won't be mad at me~]

[Just in case, let’s make a quick decision! ]

Thinking of this, Jiang Chen shouted to the silver-haired girl who was thinking: "Let's go, Liuying~ Anyway, whether it is to solve the secrets here or to return to reality, we have no way out."

At the girl's nod, Jiang Chen led her along the corridor.

After walking for nearly three minutes, the two came to a room with a huge clock hanging on it?

Looking from the door, the entire room was divided into two halves with the huge clock as the center.

Looking up at the top of the room, all you can see are blocks floating in the air, just like randomly built building blocks.

Beams of blue-white light shone into the room from the gaps between the blocks.

The two looked at each other and came to the side of the huge clock together.

As the distance got closer, I realized that there was actually a path in the center of the room.

But this road... is a little strange. It is like a melodious musical note, shaking in a specific pattern.

Seeing this scene, Liuying looked towards the gray-haired boy who was stroking his chin and looking in a daze at the other side of the room.

"Pioneer, what's wrong? Did you find something?"

Jiang Chen came back to his senses after hearing the girl's question.

"Oh, nothing. I just saw that the device on the other side looked familiar. If I'm not mistaken, that device should be the key to opening the road."

"But... how can I get through? Besides, why do I need this broken road if I'm already there? I don't know who designed it..."

"Forget it, Firefly. Let's look around first to see if there is any hidden path!"

After saying that, the two began to search around the room.

I searched the entire room and finally found a closed door behind the bookcase in the corner.

As the door appeared, a row of familiar fonts quietly appeared in front of the two people. At the same time, a childish voice rang in their ears.

"I see……"

"You want to play hide and seek with me, right?"

"Pioneer, you heard it too, right? This voice... seems to be guiding us... Moreover, every time this voice and font appear, it seems to be because we are walking along the right path. Now it appears again, which means..."

"It means we should go in right away~right!"

Jiang Chen looked at the girl who was analyzing seriously with some amusement.

"I didn't expect that you, Liuying, could analyze things so well. It seems like you have a talent for being a detective~"

The girl blushed for no apparent reason, and said a little embarrassedly, "Pioneer, please stop making fun of me. Let's just follow these characters and continue exploring."

"Okay~"

The two of them entered the room one after the other...

After entering the room, the first thing Jiang Chen saw was the bird statue facing them.

I stared at the statue for a while, but didn't notice anything unusual.

Then he slowly moved his eyes downwards and found a wine tower with a very peculiar shape under the statue.

The entire wine tower was shrouded in golden light, and only its interior could be vaguely seen to be in a spiral shape.

[The light emitted by this wine tower... looks familiar! ]

He glanced at the nearby corners and found a group of yellow dream bubbles in the corner not far from the wine tower.

【really……】

"Let's go, Liuying, I know how to get out."

"Ah! Pioneer, you already know the way out?!"

"Of course~"

He brought Firefly to the strange wine tower and reached out to touch the light it emitted.

Under the astonished gaze of the girl beside him, the light from the wine tower was absorbed by him at a speed visible to the naked eye.

After the light was completely absorbed, two golden spots appeared in front of him.

Then it began to circle around him.

Seeing this strange scene, the girl asked curiously: "Pioneer, what is this?"

"Hehe, you'll know soon."
