Chapter 1721 In the Deadly Game 8
At night, Big Guy died amidst the sound of nursery rhymes. The two newcomers faced the crime scene for the first time and couldn't sleep. The next morning, looking at the table full of meat dishes, they even began to wonder if they were made of Big Guy's meat. Now, no one could eat.
After encountering the triplets last night, the young man who didn't even enter the bathroom looked a little stressed. I don't know how he deduced that the owner of the house was the door god, and he could pass the level by killing the door god, so he went straight to the owner of the house with a knife.
Jiang Xinxin sighed and resigned herself to going to the homeowner's place. She saw the young man attacking the homeowner with a knife. Although the homeowner dodged, he allowed the young man to hurt him.
What makes it even more bizarre is that the homeowner looks like an ordinary person. He will be injured if attacked, but his wounds will heal quickly without even bleeding.
The young man thought he had stabbed the homeowner in the heart. Seeing the homeowner fall to the ground, he thought he could get out after killing the door god. However, when he turned around, he saw the homeowner stood up again and pulled out the knife that stabbed his heart with his bare hands.
The young man fell to the ground in fright. Jiang Xinxin quickly went to help him, but it was of no use. She heard the sound of eggs breaking in the young man's pocket.
Sure enough, the landlord immediately drew his knife on the young man, and Jiang Xinxin's attempts to stop him were of no avail. The landlord even gave up one of his arms just to escape from Jiang Xinxin, and finally killed the young man with the broken egg in the corridor.
Jiang Xinxin felt somewhat helpless about this outcome, but she still had to say what needed to be said: "It seems that the triplets' names aren't taboo, but the shattered eggs are. The homeowner didn't fight back until his eggs shattered, and then he started chasing him."
Ling Jiushi took a deep breath and invited Ruan Lanzhu to go to the seventh floor to investigate. Ruan Lanzhu agreed and entrusted Tan Zaozao to Jiang Xinxin. "Then please ask Miss Jiang to help keep an eye on Tan Zaozao for a while."
Jiang Xinxin nodded in agreement. "I'll take Tan Zaozao to talk to the triplets. They're not young anymore, so they should know a lot."
So everyone acted separately, and just when Tan Zaozao was about to go out, he was stopped by the triplets. Tan Zaozao still remembered to ask the triplets some more questions. After calming down, he guessed the triplets' names correctly. Unexpectedly, the triplets directly took out a key to 702 and handed it to Tan Zaozao.
Jiang Xinxin was shocked. "Hurry up and go to Room 702 to rescue them! I'll leave them here to take care of some things. Split up and act quickly!"
Tan Zaozao understood that something must have happened to Ruan Lanzhu and the others, so she quickly grasped the key and rushed to the seventh floor.
Jiang Xinxin said to the triplets, "You've been here for a long time, so you must know a lot, right?"
"Can you tell me something?"
Xiao Shi in the middle said, "That man is not our father. He captured us."
"When he was ten years old, he was captured by bad guys. The bad guys made him and his mother pick up eggs. Whoever's egg broke would be killed. Later, his mother's egg broke, so the bad guys killed his mother."
Jiang Xinxin noticed that the landlord seemed to be more caring towards Xiao Shi, and it seemed that Xiao Shi was the first to speak every time. So if the time machine really worked, the landlord might be the ten-year-old boy who witnessed the tragedy of his mother's death in front of him.
He caught the triplets and had them practice catching eggs, probably to train them from a young age, hoping that they would be able to survive any unexpected event.
Xiao Shi pointed to another door to Jiang Xinxin. Jiang Xinxin opened the door and saw that it was a storage room. After a little tidying up, the door of the door god was revealed.
Jiang Xinxin had many guesses. Now they just needed to confirm that the 14th, 1st and 7th floors were at three different times. Then they would have a way to eliminate the owner's obsession and get the key to go out.
There is a calendar on the fourteenth floor, and the year shown on it is 1985. Jiang Xinxin doesn't know the situation on the seventh floor yet, but the magnetic field on the seventh floor is disordered. Combined with the statement of the Frankenstein on the fourth floor, the seventh floor is the node connecting the two different out-of-control areas.
The furnishings in the grandmother's room on the first floor are more modern, so the first floor was built much later than 1985.
After Tan Zaozao brought Ruan Lanzhu and Ling Jiushi back, Ling Jiushi recounted what happened in Room 702: "A masked robber had a young woman and a child who looked to be under ten years old hold eggs in their mouths. The young woman's egg broke, so the robber killed the young woman, the child's mother..."
Jiang Xinxin, upon hearing this, felt it was indeed the case and expressed her own guess: "Little Ten, one of the triplets, is most likely the owner of the house, the mother of the little boy in Room 702 who died after being caught in the egg-chewing incident."
"The whole story is probably like this: When the homeowner was ten years old, he and his mother, Xiao Shi, were involved in an accident. Xiao Shi died tragically. The homeowner has always wanted to change his mother Xiao Shi's tragic ending, so he went back to his mother Xiao Shi's childhood in the Frankenstein's time machine on the fourth floor. That's why he forced the triplets to practice picking up eggs."
"But it's possible that he originally wanted to go back to the day his mother, Xiao Shi, was murdered, to fight the kidnappers in the hope of saving his mother, but the time machine had an accident, sending him to a time even before the day his mother was murdered."
"It's very simple to confirm my guess. Just go to the seventh and first floors to confirm the time."
Ruan Lanzhu immediately said, "I remember the calendar in Room 702 showed the year 2010."
Everyone hurried to the first floor and opened the door of the old lady's house. The old lady took out a newspaper that reported that a young woman and her child were kidnapped. The time shown on the newspaper was indeed 2010, while the calendar on the old lady's house showed the time as 2040.
Jiang Xinxin's guess turned out to be correct!
Tan Zaozao was a little excited. "So, can we take a time machine to 2010 and rescue the homeowner's mother, Xiaoshi? That way, the homeowner won't lose his mother, and his wish will be fulfilled, so he will give us the key?"
Tan Zaozao was about to run to the fourth floor, but Ruan Lanzhu reminded her, "We still have to attend the triplets' birthday party. The landlord has told us that if we don't go, we might break a taboo."
The four of them returned to the fourteenth floor together. The house of the upstairs owner was indeed newly decorated, and only Xiao Shi wore a birthday hat. However, the three-layer jam cake looked really weird, and no one dared to eat it.
After the birthday party, Jiang Xinxin said directly to the landlord, "Even though you seem to be immortal here, I'm sure you'll become a helpless ordinary man on the seventh floor."
"But I'm different. My skills allow me to take on ten burly men at the same time. If I could go back to the day your mother was murdered, I would definitely be able to save her from the bandits."
"So do you want to come with us to the fourth floor to experience the time machine?"
