Knock knock knock!
A knock came at the door.
At that moment, I was still lying on the table, half asleep, but Yiyi next to me immediately nudged me and woke me up.
I woke up immediately as well.
Who's there?
I asked loudly.
But there was no sound from the other side.
Yiyi went up to take a look, pushed open the door, and there was no one there.
Yiyi was also confused for a moment, then closed the door and started walking back.
Suddenly, the lights in the hall went out with a hiss.
Although it was almost dawn, the lighting on the first floor wasn't very good, so we kept the lights on the whole time.
Several lights went out at once, leaving only one oil lamp on the counter still lit.
That dim yellow light could only illuminate a small area.
Yiyi glanced at me, and we were both puzzled at that moment.
"Master, could it be someone coming?"
"I'll act anytime there's someone!"
This time, Lei Jijian also became vigilant.
"Press and hold it down for now, then come out when you need to!"
In my mind, I quickly instructed Lei Jijian.
If you act rashly at this point, you might be the first to fall into their trap.
"What happened? Everything was fine just now!"
Yi Yi spoke in a calm voice. At this moment, the dew-covered branch in her pocket was still faintly glowing.
However, unlike in the middle of the night, the light now has a slight penetrating quality.
It's as if it's driving away the surrounding air.
The Thunder Strike Sword cried out in my mind again: "Master, could this thing change along with that Boss Zhou's aura?"
The lights were on when he first started walking, but after he walked for a while, the lights gradually dimmed.
Upon hearing Lei Jijian's words, my expression changed.
That's certainly possible.
This Fatty Zhou had no problems at all when he came downstairs with us; he was perfectly safe the whole way.
Moreover, when he was there, there were never any problems with the lighting or anything else.
Just as I was pondering this, the sky outside the window suddenly brightened by a degree.
Although the lighting wasn't very good, I could still see clearly; it wasn't the dim light from the oil lamp, but rather like the sun at eight or nine o'clock in the morning.
It's hard to say whether it was sunlight or not. In any case, a beam of white light shone in from outside the window.
The light suddenly illuminated the hall we were in, making it bright and spacious. I quickly ran to the window with the girl and looked out. By then, the morning mist had already dissipated.
You can even see the sunlight shining down when you look up!
"Is this...is it daytime now?"
The girl looked puzzled, staring at the light, completely unsettled.
"When I was on duty there just now, it was completely dark outside. I felt that even if time passed quickly, it wouldn't be 5 o'clock yet!"
The girl was utterly shocked.
His face clearly showed disbelief.
After thinking about it for a while, I was quite puzzled. This kind of light does indeed come out during the day, but only a few hours have passed now, so it's definitely not around 8 or 9 o'clock when the sun is rising.
I touched my phone in my pocket, and the moment I took it out, the screen was completely black, with no signal at all.
Not only that, even the time was fixed at 00:00.
Holy crap, this is really defying the heavens.
I know that a lot of strange things have happened after this roundabout, but I've never seen anything as strange as this before. They even managed to hack my phone?
Yi Yi was the same, but I suddenly realized that I could judge the approximate time by the energy in the girl's body.
If her energy is relatively weak, then it should be during the day; however, her energy should be stronger at night.
I quickly let Yiyi experience it.
"Brother, it's still nighttime. My power hasn't diminished at all; on the contrary, it's remained at its peak during the night!"
Holy crap.
My whole body felt numb.
It means that it's still nighttime!
"What's going on..."
I kept muttering to myself.
"Brother, do you think it might be a hallucination? Or is there something else strange about this inn?"
Yiyi frowned, and his words made me even more uneasy.
The Thunder Sword said in my mind, "No matter what, we have to be careful, Master. Boss Zhou isn't here right now? Who knows what kind of trouble might arise."
"They can even manipulate time; if this is done by someone, that's incredibly impressive!"
Without hesitation, we turned around and rushed to the third floor.
If a problem arises at this time, the first thing to do will definitely be to target the child. In that case, their first point of attack will definitely be Xiao Yuan!
And if it really is morning, Xiao Yuan should be fed sea cucumber marrow.
As luck would have it, just as we reached the stairwell, Xiao Yuan's crying reached the first floor at a moderate pace.
This child really knows how to choose the right time to cry!
What about that sound from just now?
I was completely baffled.
Could it be that the guy who knocked on the door first was the one who orchestrated this?
We took the water and headed up the stairs, when suddenly there was a knocking sound at the door of the lobby on the first floor.
Damn it, here we go again!
Not only that, but a hoarse voice was also shouting.
"Is anyone here? Need a room!"
