Chapter 294

The Soul-Summoning Doll is a very special strange product. Each doll has its own unique name, which is its only true name.

The Grantee can establish a connection with the Soul-Summoning Doll through this unique true name and manipulate the doll to help them complete some things. This doll of Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe's originally belonged to Fan Daike.

Its original name was "Little Poor Thing," and it was later renamed "Xia Rong" by Lan Shiwen.

"Hello, Xia Rong, Mom needs you to do me a favor now." Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe took the little rag doll off his shoulder, held it in his arms, and said to it: "Do you see this music box?"

Little Xia Rong sat in Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe's arms, its sapphire button eyes motionless.

"And over there, there is an iron door." Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe held Xia Rong high so it could see the tightly closed door of the interrogation room not far away and the investigation team guarding in front of the door.

After doing this, Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe let Xia Rong sit on his lap and, in front of it, flipped the music box over to show it the clockwork mechanism at the bottom of the box.

"This is a music box. Opening the lid directly plays music immediately. Turning the clockwork mechanism delays the music. Every turn is a 30-second delay."

Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe stuffed the music box into little Xia Rong's hand and continued:

"I will turn the clockwork two turns in a moment. You need to kill everyone here within 1 minute, then open the iron door and send the music box into the room behind the door."

The rag doll named Xia Rong sat obediently on Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe's lap, motionless.

"Do you understand?" Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe asked.

Xia Rong nodded.

"Good girl." Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe held the soft little Xia Rong, lowered his head, and kissed it on the forehead: "Mom loves you."

Putting down little Xia Rong, who was holding the music box, Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe turned the clockwork mechanism 2 turns, set it to start playing in 60 seconds, and turned into a tit, quickly flying away from the clock tower.

He couldn't stay here. What was stored in the music box was not ordinary music, but a requiem played by a ghost. Once the requiem started playing, even a deaf person could hear it.

The cute rag doll in the shape of a little girl, holding the music box her mother gave her, small and quiet, sat quietly on the carpet on the side of the bookshelf.

The second after Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe left the clock tower, it stood up.

"Xia Rong has started killing." Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe flapped his wings and flew out of the moon-viewing terrace, spreading his wings and diving toward the open ground downstairs.

Dejin Hansa and Housekeeper Miss Mei Lin kept in real-time contact via wireless earpieces. Once something happened to the investigation team, Pulu Meiliya would immediately get the news and then take back the move.

Both killing and catching ghosts were done by Xia Rong. Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe only needed to do one thing now.

"Stop her from taking back the move."

60 seconds is not long, and not short. Counting external factors, it would be a bit longer. Last time when taking back the move, from the investigation team walking into the interrogation room to starting to take back the move, there was an interval of about 20 seconds.

In other words, from the investigation team being wiped out to Pulu Meiliya deciding to take back the move, there would be a buffer period of about 20 seconds.

60 seconds + 20 seconds, a total of less than a minute and a half. What can be done? Can...

—Draw a circle on the ground as a prison.

"Sha... wh... what... sha sha... thing!..."

Inharmonious noise came from the earpiece, making Miss Mei Lin frown: "Dejin Hansa? Can you hear me? What happened?"

Pulu Meiliya subconsciously placed her finger on a chess piece engraved with the word "Pawn" and looked up to ask: "An accident?" "I don't know, there's no sound over there." Miss Mei Lin shook her head: "I have already instructed them not to enter the interrogation room, and the door has been closed. Logically speaking, there shouldn't be any more accidents..."

As long as one is not deceived by lies and does not take the initiative to take risks, it is difficult for a necromancer to kill actively. This was a reminder they received before setting off, and Miss Mei Lin had instructed all these reminders to the investigation team members.

"If our opponent is just an unconscious disqualified person, knowing these is indeed enough." Pulu Meiliya said softly: "But don't forget, there is also the existence of that 'intruder' hiding in the dark."

That uninvited guest who broke into Vanessa Castle has very likely mastered the rules of the "necromancer."

Rigidly operating rules and an Ascender who rides ghosts with their body are two completely different things.

Take back the move. No matter what happened, taking back the move is always the safest.

Pulu Meiliya pressed her finger on the chess piece. The warm touch of the ivory product brought her a heavy sense of peace of mind. Within the chess game, there is nothing that cannot be saved.

Suddenly, a flying shadow attracted Pulu Meiliya's attention. She turned her gaze somewhat puzzled, only to see Housekeeper Miss Mei Lin with a vigilant look on her face, staring at something.

"Miss Mei Lin, what are you looking at?" the young girl asked softly.

"A bird, Princess," Miss Mei Lin said. "A strange bird, I don't know where it flew out from. It circled around us, and its mouth seems to be holding something, dragging a long... rope?"

Pulu Meiliya's eyes widened immediately. For the first time, a look called panic appeared on her delicate, cold-white face like a doll, but it soon calmed down: "No, it won't... It won't be such a coincidence, how could it just happen to be that thing..."

No errors in the content, read it at a glance!

As if to verify a certain terrifying speculation she was unwilling to admit in her heart, Pulu Meiliya moved her fingertips without hesitation and pulled the "Pawn" that had already crossed the river on the chessboard back.

She took back the move.

The time this "Pawn" crossed the river was 5 minutes ago. Pulling the pawn back to its original position, the time in the chess game would go back 5 minutes ago, when the pawn hadn't crossed the river yet.

Yes, it is like this.

Pulu Meiliya looked up at Miss Mei Lin. She was still standing beside her, just like 5 minutes ago.

"Miss Mei Lin," Pulu Meiliya asked: "How are Dejin Hansa and the others now?"

"Uh..." Miss Mei Lin frowned, a look of confusion appearing on her face: "There is no sound in the earpiece, Dejin Hansa didn't answer me, wait, there is sound..."

Before the words fell, Miss Mei Lin's legs went soft, and she fell to the ground.

"Miss Mei Lin!" Pulu Meiliya lost her composure immediately and hurriedly reached her hand into her collar.

Fortunately, there was still a pulse on Miss Mei Lin's neck. She was not dead, just fell into a coma for some unknown reason, or rather, fell asleep.

What on earth did she hear? Pulu Meiliya suppressed her dangerous curiosity, reached her hand toward the chessboard, and took back another move.

Since the chessboard was laid out, Pulu Meiliya had maintained the rhythm of moving one piece every 5 minutes. Taking back another move on the basis of having already taken back one move meant turning time back 10 minutes ago.

Time went back 10 minutes ago, the sleeping Miss Mei Lin woke up again and stood beside her, intact.

"Miss Mei Lin, hurry and take off the ear..."

Before Pulu Meiliya could finish her words, only a thud was heard, and Miss Mei Lin collapsed to the ground again, falling into a deep sleep.
