Chapter 294 Drawing the ground as a prison
The spirit-calling doll is a very special and strange product. Each doll has a unique name of its own, which is its only real name.

The person who grants the power can establish a connection with the spirit-calling doll through this unique real name, and control the doll to help him accomplish something. Ningzhe’s doll originally belonged to Van Dyke.

Its original name was “Little Poor Thing”, which was later changed to “Xia Rong” by Lan Shiwen.

“Hello, Xia Rong, Mommy needs your help now.” Ning Zhe took the stuffed doll off her shoulder, held it in her arms, and said to it, “Do you see this music box?”

Little Xia Rong sat in Ning Zhe’s arms, her eyes made of sapphire buttons motionless.

“And over there, there is an iron door.” Ning Zhe lifted Xia Rong high so that it could see the closed door of the torture room not far away, as well as the investigation team guarding the door.

After doing all this, Ning Zhe let Xia Rong sit on his lap, turned the music box over in front of her, and showed her the clockwork mechanism at the bottom of the box.

“This is a music box. Opening the lid directly will play the music immediately, and twisting the spring will delay the music. Each turn will delay the music by 1 seconds.”

Ning Zhe stuffed the music box into Xiao Xiarong’s hands and continued:

“I will turn the spring twice in a minute. You need to kill all the people here within one 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 Ning Zhe’s lap, not moving.

“Do you understand?” Ning Zhe asked.

Xia Rong nodded.

“So good.” Ning Zhe hugged the soft little Xia Rong and kissed her on the forehead: “Mom loves you.”

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

He couldn’t stay here. The music box didn’t store ordinary music, but a requiem played by ghosts. Once the requiem started playing, even a deaf person could hear it.

A cute rag doll that looks like a little girl is holding the music box given to it by its mother. It is so small that it sits quietly on the carpet beside the bookcase.

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

“Xia Rong has started killing people.” Ning Zhe flapped his wings and flew out of the moon-viewing platform, then spread his wings and swooped downstairs.

Dejin Hansa and Housekeeper Mary maintained real-time contact with wireless headphones. Once something happened to the investigation team, Plumeria would immediately get the news and then regret her move.

Xia Rong was in charge of both killing and catching ghosts, so Ning Zhe only needed to do one thing now.

“Stop her from taking back her move.”

60 seconds is neither long nor short. It would take a little longer if off-field factors are taken into account. The last time he regretted his move, it took about 20 seconds from the time the investigation team entered the interrogation room to the time they started to regret their move.

In other words, there is a buffer period of about 20 seconds between the annihilation of the investigation team and Plumeria’s decision to regret her move.

60 seconds + 20 seconds, less than a minute and a half in total, what can you do? You can…

——The ground is a prison.

“Shua…what…shua…shua…thing!…”

A discordant noise came from the headphones, causing Meilin to frown: “Dejin Hansa? Can you hear me? What happened?”

Plumeria subconsciously placed her finger on a chess piece with the word “Zhun” carved on it, and looked up and asked, “Did anything happen?” “I don’t know, there’s no sound over there.” Meilin shook her head and said, “I’ve already told them not to enter the torture room, and the door has been closed. Logically, there shouldn’t be any more accidents…”

As long as they are not deceived by lies and do not take the initiative to put themselves in danger, it is difficult for the necromancer to take the initiative to kill people. This was the reminder they received before they set out, and Meilin told all of these reminders to the investigation team.

“If our opponent is just an unconscious Disqualified Person, then knowing this is enough.” Plumeria said softly, “But don’t forget the existence of the ‘Intruder’ hiding in the dark.”

The uninvited guest who broke into Vanessa’s castle may have mastered the rules of the ‘Necromancer’.

The rigidly operating rules and the ascended beings who control ghosts with their bodies are two completely different things.

Take back your move. No matter what happens, it is always safest to take back your move first.

Plumeria placed her fingers on the chess piece. The warm touch of the ivory product gave her a heavy sense of security. In the game of chess, nothing was irreversible.

Suddenly, a flying shadow caught Plumeria’s attention. She turned her eyes puzzledly and saw that Housekeeper Mary had a vigilant look on her face, staring at something.

“Mei Lin, what are you looking at?” the girl asked softly.

“A bird, Your Highness.” Meilin said, “A strange bird, a bird that flew out from nowhere, circling around us. It seemed to have something in its mouth, dragging a long… rope?”

Plumeria’s eyes widened immediately. For the first time, a look of panic appeared on her delicate, doll-like cold face. She quickly calmed down, “No, it can’t be… It can’t be such a coincidence. How could it be that thing…”

As if to confirm a certain horrible guess that she was unwilling to admit, Plumeria moved her fingertips without hesitation and pulled back the “pawn” that had already crossed the river on the chessboard.

She regretted her move.

This “pawn” crossed the river 5 minutes ago. If the pawn is pulled back to its original position, the time in the chess game will go back to 5 minutes ago, when the pawn had not yet crossed the river.

Yes, that’s it.

Plumeria looked up at Marylin, who was still standing beside her, just like she was five minutes ago.

“Marylin.” Plumeria asked, “How are Dejin Hansa and the others now?”

“Uh…” Meilin frowned, a puzzled look on her face: “There is no sound in the earphones, Dejin Hansa didn’t reply to me, wait, there is sound…”

Before she finished her words, Meilin’s legs went limp and she fell to the ground.

“Marylin!” Plumeria was suddenly confused and hurriedly put her hand into her collar.

Fortunately, there was still a pulse on Meilin’s neck. She was not dead, but she fell into a coma or fell asleep for some unknown reason.

What did she hear? Plumeria suppressed her dangerous curiosity, reached out to the chessboard, and regretted her move.

Ever since the chessboard was laid out, Plumeria has maintained a pace of making a move every 5 minutes. If she regrets a move, and then regrets another move, it will turn back time to 10 minutes ago.

Time went back to 10 minutes ago, and the comatose Marylin woke up again and stood beside her as normal.

“Mei Lin, take off your ears quickly…”

Before Plumeria could finish her words, there was a thud and Meilin fell to the ground again and fell into a deep sleep.
