Chapter 140 The portal has a hidden meaning
Twelve melodious and dull bell sounds woke everyone up.
They came to the hall first.
A bright and clean hall.
Brian stood in the center, his chin raised, his brows smug, and a man tied up was under his feet.
Come closer and take a look.
Seville.
They were a little stunned.
What surprised them even more was that Scarlett sat on the red velvet sofa, watching Brian step on Sylvia without saying anything.
This is very interesting.
Riley's gaze swept towards Sevilla, and his delicate features revealed a hint of wildness and unruliness.
In a flash, he thought of something and walked over quietly.
Dzeko also noticed that Sevilla looked strange, and remembering the conversation he had with Riley, his eyebrows moved and he looked at Riley.
Riley noticed his gaze, looked over casually, raised his eyebrows, and smiled politely.
"What's going on? Brian, why are you tying up Sylvia?"
Ashley thought the two were fighting, so he walked over and tried to separate them.
Brian snorted, dodged his hand, and said coldly: "This dead fish is bullying the female master. I'm teaching him a lesson, don't worry about it!"
"Bullying the female master?"
Chi Ye knew Sevilla's character and thought this was impossible, but when he turned around and saw Scarlett's expression, her little face was pale and her eyes were panic-stricken, as if she was frightened by something.
He hurriedly asked, "Did Sevilla bully you?"
The bright light and the increasing number of people made Scarlett's nervous heart feel at ease and gradually calmed down.
The pent-up anger in her heart gradually subsided. She calmed down and was about to speak when Brian spoke before her, "Of course! I would never lie to you! As soon as the bell stopped ringing, I went to find Scarlett, and when I opened the door, I saw..."
Brian kicked Sylvia and said viciously, "I saw this dead fish tied Scarlett to the bed, strangled her neck, and almost strangled her to death!"
Holst looked at Scarlett's neck.
There were indeed two bright red finger marks.
Mo Ting pushed Brian away, mentioned Sevilla, his face cold and chilling, and walked towards the door without saying a word.
Scarlett looked at his back, a trace of nervousness flashed through her heart, and she asked aloud: "What are you going to do?"
Mo Ting said without even turning his head, "Anyone who bullies the female master will be executed immediately. We can just throw him outside and see what happens."
"Don't be so harsh." Brian clicked his tongue.
I didn't expect Mo Ting to be so decisive.
He thought that punishing Sylvia by not allowing him to get close to Scarlett would be enough.
Direct execution...
Too harsh!
Riley caught the trance in Scarlett's eyes and said, "Wait a minute, he can still be useful."
Mo Ting stopped and looked back at him.
No words were spoken, but the cold eyes were full of warning.
It seems to be saying: You'd better not lie to me, otherwise you will bear the consequences.
Riley smiled and said, "Sevilla is familiar with Planet B095. He can help us reduce and avoid some unnecessary trouble. It would be a shame to kill him now. It wouldn't be too late to deal with him after we pass the next stage of the competition."
"Furthermore..."
Riley looked around and distracted Mo Ting with another more eye-catching topic, "We heard twelve bells ringing down, shouldn't we look for the portal first?"
As soon as the words were out, the remaining few people came to their senses.
Twelve bells chime.
It means it's twelve o'clock.
Martin said that the portal will not wait for time, and their first priority should be to find the portal.
But……
The sky outside the window was still dark, without any change.
They didn't stay in the room for long, so how could it be the next day so soon?
They went upstairs at seven o'clock in the evening.
No sound was heard in between.
Then the sound of twelve bells came.
Is it the bell sound or the castle that's weird?
Also, the mechanical pendulum clock on one side of the hall shows the time is 7:49 pm...
At this time.
Scarlett, who had been looking unhappy, raised her hand and pointed upwards, "Look up."
Everyone looked up when they heard this.
Above their heads was the huge crystal chandelier, which almost took up the entire ceiling of the hall.
The complex craftsmanship makes the crystal chandelier magnificent and incomparable. The bizarre colorful lights converge together, soft, cool and eye-catching.
Brian only felt that this crystal chandelier sparkled much more than ordinary ones, but he couldn't see anything else. He looked away and looked at Scarlett, "Do you like it? If you do, I want Queen Mother to send one to Huldah Palace. It must be made of diamonds, more luxurious and more beautiful than this one."
A chandelier made of diamonds?
Scarlett was silent for a moment, then her love for money broke out and she didn't refuse.
But that's not what she wanted to say.
She stood up, walked to the center of the hall, raised her head, and said again: "Stand where I am and watch."
Everyone walked towards her.
Look up again.
The picture I saw was indeed different!
Riley was the first to say, "It's the clock face."
Scarlett nodded. "Yes, the pattern of this chandelier forms a clock face when viewed from this angle. Not only this chandelier, but also the ceiling of my room. The pattern on it, when viewed from a different angle, is also a clock face."
Scarlett was carried to the bed by Teren and lay horizontally on the bed. The originally colorful oval pattern inexplicably turned into a circular pattern.
The protruding points around the pattern become clearer and clearer, and are symmetrical up and down and left and right, forming the twelve time indication points on the clock face.
The inner side of the pattern is made up of twelve golden stripes, while the outer side is made up of sixty red stripes.
They light up one by one in the dim room.
If you compare them to the hour hand, minute hand, and second hand, the time Scarlett saw at that time was 11:55:47.
So she kept delaying.
As soon as twelve o'clock comes.
The bell rang.
She deduced correctly.
But she didn't know where the portal appeared.
She reached the hall first and saw no sign of any door.
Scarlett said, "Could it be that time refers not only to the mechanical pendulum clock in the hall, but also to clocks in other places? The sound just now was not from this clock, but from another clock."
Holst thought for a moment, "Indeed. Every time the bell chimes, it echoes throughout the castle. There's no way to tell for sure that the sound is coming from the pendulum."
Riley walked over to the mechanical pendulum clock and picked up the electronic calendar. "Martin said there would be a portal, but he didn't say it would definitely appear in the lobby. Maybe the portal is related to these clock faces."
Riley held the calendar in front of everyone and pointed to the date on it, "Look."
October 29, 3225.
Dzeko said in a deep voice: "A day has passed."
He looked at the mechanical pendulum clock again, "It's eight o'clock in the evening."
"clang……"
"clang……"
"clang……"
Twenty bells rang as expected.
But then, the bell rang again.
"clang……"
"clang……"
"clang……"
Twelve!
Everyone's brows furrowed, and they all looked at the calendar.
October 30, 3225!
