Chapter 359 Numbers
It is hard not to notice this wall-mounted clock with a very special design and appearance.

An Zhiyan looked at the dial.

The clock had stopped, and it had stopped a long time ago. The time on it showed eight-thirty.

But in fact, it was already past two o'clock in the afternoon when they entered the First Hospital.

"Is it a clue related to the scene?" An Zhiyan knew very well that this eye-like wall mark was most likely some kind of hint in the scene.

Any encryption and hiding of prompt information has different mechanisms in each scene.

If it is an obvious hint, then generally a hidden method that is difficult to find will be chosen; if the information itself is complicated to interpret, then it will be displayed in an obvious place.

This is the rule and experience that senior memory collectors have "explored" in many scenarios.

The eye clock on the wall is very obvious, so does that mean the information hidden on it is difficult to discern?
At this moment, suddenly a strange sound came from the eye clock on the wall, like the sound of metal being forcibly twisted by a huge force. The next second, the eye closed and the dial disappeared.

This sudden scene made An Zhiyan stunned.

Looking at the eye clock again, there seems to be a mechanism, like eyelids, closing from top to bottom, covering the dial.

In this case, the dial will definitely not be visible.

An Zhiyan tried to open her closed eyes, but failed.

This thing is more sturdy than you can imagine.

It must be some kind of special metal, which is impossible to tear apart by force.

"Will this thing open again?" An Zhiyan was unsure.

She was more inclined to make some rather bad guesses.

This kind of eye clock will 'close' once someone looks at it.

In other words, the above information can only be viewed once.

Whoever has seen it will close it and will never open again on this cycle day.

"If that's the case, the situation is a bit troublesome!"

Although she couldn't be sure of this possibility, An Zhiyan's intuition told her that it was almost certain.

"The scene is constantly changing, which means there is more than one eye clock. There may be one in each different area. Once the hypothesis is established, these key information must be fragmented. It is very difficult to gather the key information of the scene in fragments, especially since there is no guarantee that everyone who sees the eye clock can remember the information on it. In addition, how to transmit this information is also a problem!"

An Zhiyan immediately figured out the general 'rule of play' of this scene.

But it's useless for her to figure it out alone. All the people trapped here must understand this mechanism in order to pass the level.

At this moment, An Zhiyan's brain was working at high speed.

To be honest, she couldn't find a way to solve this problem.

If this time it's just her people, then there's no doubt that it's highly likely, or even inevitable, that they'll be trapped and die in this level scene.

Fortunately, Luo Xi was there this time.

In An Zhiyan's view, Luo Xi is the only variable.

An Zhiyan has self-knowledge, which, especially when under [absolute rationality], can also suppress a person's arrogance and conceit.

What's more, she is not an arrogant or conceited person.

So in terms of positioning, An Zhiyan sees herself as a "helper".

"I need to pass information to Luo Xi. Moreover, I assume that he has understood the mechanism of this scene. I think if it is him, it will not be difficult for him to get the things in this scene."

Almost in the blink of an eye, An Zhiyan had made the decision.

She thought of the secret codes they used to communicate in Fairy Tale Town and Tree Sea Park, so she immediately used a sharp weapon to carve some secret codes and numbers under the closed clock.

The code represents who carved it, and the number represents the time on the clock.

830!

In An Zhiyan's view, the key information on the eye clock is time and the corresponding numbers.

At present, she cannot determine the correspondence between time, numbers and the entire scene, but she believes that as long as she finds more eye clocks, she can explore and deduce something.

This is called one leaf telling the coming of autumn!
After carving the message, An Zhiyan did not hesitate but continued to move forward.

According to her previous calculations, the interval between each vibration is about 7 minutes. So, she still has some time to explore, and maybe there will be new discoveries.

In addition, she is also very careful.

After all, that strange hand from before is still fresh in people’s memory.

Until now An Zhiyan still can't figure out how the other party replaced her. After all, she and Zhou Ji were holding hands before. If her side turned into a ghost hand, then what about Zhou Ji and Qi Yan?
What will happen when they face the ghost hand?
After walking a few steps, An Zhiyan stopped.

The passage ahead was blocked.

Large chunks of collapsed buildings and broken concrete slabs completely blocked the passage, making it obviously impassable.

But some distance ahead, there are doors to two rooms that can be opened.

"Another choice. The door on the left and the door on the right are not right. Another choice is to stay where you are!" An Zhiyan immediately thought of a possibility.

The 7-minute interval is actually the time left for the Memory Collector to explore the current environment. At the same time, whether or not the eye clock can be discovered is also a key factor. In each different environment, there must be a choice of certain directional nature.

Just like the fork in the road you saw before, you can choose to go straight or turn left. It is certain that after making a choice, the location will be moved through the mechanism of scene vibration, and entering a new area will definitely be different.

All An Zhiyan could think of was to use the forced mechanisms of 'vibration' and 'position conversion' to push the progress of the entire scene. The memory collector needed to find the eye clocks in different areas and obtain the corresponding time numbers.

However, An Zhiyan has not yet deciphered the time numbers, she needs more samples.

So at this stage, no matter what choice she makes, it's actually the same.

"In short, I want to leave a code and number, so that if Luo Xi sees it, he can get some fragmented information. After all, the person who can finally decipher it is likely to be him."

Thinking of this, An Zhiyan did not hesitate. She chose the door on the right, opened it, and walked in.

Inside was a messy room, which should have been a medical room. Some medical equipment and cabinets could be seen, but due to the vibration, they were scattered all over the floor. The floor was full of various metal trays, disposable syringes, gauze, and alcohol.
The cabinet was broken, with many white coats scattered inside.

An Zhiyan thought about it and walked over to get a set. If she needed to transform again, this white coat would come in handy.

However, there is no other exit from this room.

An Zhiyan was not in a hurry either.

She had already roughly understood part of the mechanism of this scene. Every vibration would cause the scene to shift and change.

Moreover, the changes are different in different regions.

Sure enough, after waiting here for a while, the vibration came again.

The loud rumbling sound and the twisting sound of metal seemed to pierce the eardrums, giving people a splitting headache and making them feel upset.

When the vibration died down and everything returned to calm, An Zhiyan looked up.

The scene changed. She was no longer in the medical room, but in another corridor. However, this corridor was a little different. It didn't seem to be seriously damaged. There were even emergency lights on the wall.

On.

So the long and narrow passage can be seen clearly.

An Zhiyan immediately began to look for the eye clock here, and soon she found it. Just like before, the eye clock hanging very conspicuously on the wall turned off directly after a few seconds. An Zhiyan immediately carved the code and the corresponding number on the wall next to it, 615.

Then keep moving forward, find the fork in the road, and make a choice.

Before this, An Zhiyan compared the time numbers from the last time with the time numbers this time.

Besides, she had already determined one thing.

The hands on the dial of the eye clock do not have a second hand.

That is, there are only hour and minute hands.

However, after comparing the two sets of figures, An Zhiyan still finds it difficult to draw a definite conclusion.

She needed more clues.

Soon, the next shock came as expected.

An Zhiyan's face was pale. At this moment, she was in a place that looked like a morgue, and there was a big wound on her stomach.

Next to them were several strange corpses of people she had killed, crawling out of the morgue.

These corpses were extremely powerful. Even after they transformed into werewolves, An Zhiyan had to pay the price of being seriously injured before she could kill them.

On the wall, the metallic eye clock has closed.

However, An Zhiyan has already noted down the time above.

"Eleven o'clock, that is, 1100"

An Zhiyan knew that her current situation was not optimistic. The attack of the corpse carried some terrible toxin. If she had not used the [antidote] and [adrenaline] herself, she would have died.

She forced herself to carve a series of numbers on the wall.

830, 615, 744, 920, 955, 1100
These are the numbers converted from the time on the eye clock that An Zhiyan found.

The sudden attack occurred in the 1100 area. To be honest, she was a little careless at the time, but even if it happened again, the result would not change. The attack here was too strong. Even she, if it was someone else, would not be able to withstand it in the first round.

The reason why it was called the first round was because immediately afterwards, An Zhiyan discovered that a second wave of horrific corpses crawled out from those morgues.

This time the number of bodies was greater.

She had no chance of winning.

It can be said that death is inevitable.

"I haven't found any pattern to the numbers. So can we say that there is actually no pattern to these numbers? The only thing that is certain is that when you choose a fork in the road, the time on the dial you find after entering a different direction will not be too different from the time on the dial in the previous area. Basically, it can be determined that one direction is forward and the other is backward. This is more like a game of moving the hour hand."

The corpses around were already rushing over.

An Zhiyan knew that this cycle of days would have to end here.

Before she was overwhelmed by the numerous horrible corpses, she suddenly stared at the numbers she had carved on the wall and revealed a hint of enlightenment.

“I see, these numbers are actually…”

She tried to reach out and carve some more information on the wall.

But the next moment, she was overwhelmed by numerous horrible corpses.
