My daughter has been possessed.

Chapter 33 The Morning Bell's Strange Change!

Li Jiuhe ran quickly across the wide square, attracting the two stone figures to a position closer to the main hall.

Then he returned and used the same trick again, leaping up, catching the key, and continuing to twist it laboriously.

However, this time he found that even after the key had turned a full circle, nothing changed.

It's like going around in circles and ending up back at the starting point – a pointless operation!

He didn't use up the time anchor point anymore, but let go and dropped it before the two stone men caught up, and continued running.

A loud roar suddenly came from behind him, startling Li Jiuhe, who turned around to look.

As the two stone figures ran, they came closer together. Their stone bodies began to assemble and merge, transforming into a new, taller, and more agile stone figure.

At the same time, the black iron chain was also connected to the huge weight, with one end of the chain firmly fastened to the weight.

A brand new stone figure quickly formed. This guy grabbed the chain with one hand and swung the huge weight around his head, making a whooshing sound. It spun around a few times and then came hurtling towards Li Jiuhe's head.

This time, both the power and accuracy of the attack have been greatly improved.

Li Jiuhe's forehead was covered in cold sweat. He quickly changed direction and narrowly avoided the heavy blow.

The weight, secured by a chain, crashed to the ground, creating a crater. Then, pulled by the chain, it changed direction and, instead of being retrieved, flew towards Li Jiuhe once more.

Li Jiuhe was also forced to unleash his potential, constantly leaping and tumbling across the square, pushing his body to its limits. The muscles under his clothes bulged and the veins stood out.

At this moment, he had no time to think about how to turn the bronze key; his priority was to get rid of the stone golem, whose strength had clearly increased.

The opponent's speed and attack power have increased significantly, which has put Li Jiuhe under even more pressure.

However, on the other hand, his strength began to grow again under such pressure.

After regaining his composure, Li Jiuhe began to ponder again whether the bronze key could open the lock of the Erqi Morning Bell. Why did it feel as if the key hadn't turned at all after turning it once?

Is there anything you've overlooked in this process?

But right now he doesn't have much time to try; he's just running and dodging, thinking quickly.

Time passed quickly, and I took the opportunity to turn the key twice more, only to find that it had returned to the starting point and did not react at all.

Before he knew it, it was already afternoon. Li Jiuhe ran while looking up at the sky, which was nearing dusk.

At that moment, he suddenly froze, blurting out, "Time?"

……

In an old rental house in the south of Wangchuan City.

Wearing a children's tracksuit, Li Yi sat on a wooden stool, looking thoughtful as she gazed at the three items placed on the wooden table in front of her.

The three items are a purple wristwatch, the Tongue of the Fear Eater, and the Morning Bell.

"Why is this happening?" Li Yi muttered to herself. "We've found all three items, so why can't it meet its requirements? Isn't it these three items that are needed?"

At this point, she subconsciously shook her head: "Impossible. The product should be correct, but I may have overlooked some details, which caused a problem in some part of the process."

Just then, a steaming bowl of noodles was gently placed in front of Li Yi, with a fried egg on top.

"Honey, eat it while it's hot. If you can't figure it out, don't think about it for now. Maybe you'll understand after eating this bowl of noodles!"

The person speaking was the same man on the motorcycle who had picked Li Yi up from the museum last time.

The man had an ordinary appearance, but a very good physique, which suggested he exercised regularly.

Li Yi rolled her eyes and gave him a cold look: "How many times have I told you? Can my body handle this much food right now? Are you trying to stuff me to death?"

The man's heart tightened, and he quickly shook his head: "No, I just noticed you hadn't eaten anything this morning, and I was worried you were hungry..."

"Even if I'm starving, I can't eat that much!" Li Yi pointed to the door of the room next door. "Go stay in that room. I'm annoyed just looking at you!"

The man wasn't annoyed at all; instead, he chuckled and said, "Don't worry, darling, I know you're confused, but there's nothing I can do to help. Think it over carefully. I'll go stay in that room; call me if you need anything."

After saying that, he scurried into the house and closed the door behind him.

Li Yi pushed the bowl of noodles off the table and turned her gaze back to the three items.

"Lin Fengya's most beloved watch, the tongue of a vengeful spirit that has accumulated a great deal of fear, the Morning Bell that can open time rifts...aren't these exactly what you need? So...what else do you want?"

As she muttered to herself, Li Yi suddenly paused, slightly startled. "Is it possible that these three items are incomplete, or unable to perform their intended function?"

The thought crossed her mind, and she picked up the purple watch and examined it from all angles. Then she grabbed the soft tongue and looked at it, without feeling disgusted at all.

He quickly put down the two items and turned his gaze to the spittoon-sized morning bell.

"Based on the usage pattern of this morning bell, it has already absorbed one person and should still be functioning properly. Furthermore, it shouldn't absorb anyone else who uses it in the short term. Could it be that something went wrong after it absorbed Li Jiuhe?"

Li Yi was puzzled.

Although she understood that the Morning Bell of the Second Seventh could open a time rift and that it required absorbing a person to keep it running, she did not know what the internal structure of the Morning Bell was.

This thing is, after all, a city-destroying level sequence object. Although its life form is different, its sequence ability should not be underestimated.

Because any life that was absorbed by it, whether ordinary or extremely powerful, disappeared without a trace and was never seen again.

Therefore, no one knows what the inside of the Morning Bell is like, but one thing is certain: the level of danger inside is extremely high, and even the Sequencers themselves cannot escape.

Just then, the morning bell, which was quietly placed on the table, suddenly shook slightly.

Li Yi saw it clearly, her eyes widened immediately, and she leaned closer.

The morning bell trembled again, this time very noticeably, startling Li Yi so much that she jumped up and quickly backed away, knocking over the stool behind her.

Then, a white light suddenly appeared on the morning bell of the second day of the seventh month. Inside the light, near the top of the bell, appeared a space that seemed to be completely different.

Hearing the noise, the motorcyclist opened the door and quickly got out, only to be stunned by what he saw.

He immediately sensed something was wrong, pulled out his belt and gave it a light shake, and the belt quickly transformed into a black soft sword.

Li Yi reacted quickly, grabbing the purple watch and the Tongue of the Dead that were next to the Morning Bell and stuffing them into the pink cloth bag she always carried.

She hesitated for a moment, then reached out to take the morning bell.

But at that moment, the morning bell that had been shining suddenly became translucent, and Li Yi's fingers passed right through it, unable to touch it!

Startled by the scene, Li Yi was taken aback.

The motorcyclist also wanted to help catch the morning bell.

Li Yi quickly said, "Don't move!"

The motorcyclist kept his outstretched hand and didn't move forward again.

Li Yi bit her lip, then steeled her resolve: "Something's wrong! Let's go, we have to get out of here!"

The motorcyclist looked at the 27-minute morning bell he had finally managed to get with surprise: "Don't you want this anymore?"

"What the hell do you want! Get out of here!"

Li Yi's unease grew stronger, and she turned and ran out of the rented room.

At this moment, the morning bell was not only translucent, but its light was also growing stronger, as if an unknown barrier was being opened.
