842: time

“System?” Hearing the voice in his mind, Mo De was a bit stunned.

He wasn't unfamiliar with this thing.

Before being chosen to come to this Tales of the Weird world, he had been staying up late, and the reason was that he was binge-reading a System novel!

Did this System follow him from the book to the Tales of the Weird world?

Thinking this, Mo De didn't dare to hesitate.

He himself was just an ordinary person, and he didn't feel that he was any more special than others.

In this world of rule-based weird tales, the chance of survival was extremely slim!

Now that a System had inexplicably chosen him, he naturally had to seize this opportunity and not miss it!

“Bind!”

With some seriousness, Mo De responded without hesitation.

“Ding~ Host triggers binding conditions.”

“1%”

“100%”

“Congratulations, Host. Successfully bound the Ye Tian Lie Detection System. Host receives a novice gift package.”

When the System's voice stopped, Mo De looked up and saw a special gift package presented before his eyes!

Without hesitation, while praying in his heart, Mo De directly opened the novice gift package the System had given him.

“Congratulations, Host, you have received one lie detection opportunity and one prophecy card.”

The reward from the novice gift package was very simple.

After being bound, Mo De also learned a lot of key information about the relevant System functions.

Among them, the System's most important ability was lie detection!

And for lie detection opportunities, Mo De learned that each time he survived twelve hours in this World, he would accumulate one lie detection opportunity!

As for the prophecy card, the description was only vaguely saying that it could predict things in the next few hours. The difficulty of obtaining this item was not small.

In Mo De's eyes, it was something like a trump card.

“Bang bang!”

The knocking sound outside became much louder, appearing very abrupt in the dead of night.

“Dear? Why aren't you talking? Did something really happen? Quickly open the door!”

The woman's voice outside clearly raised its pitch abnormally, like an old song with a strange twist suddenly becoming sharp, presenting a broken, twisted sound!

Seeing this situation, Mo De took a deep breath, then looked at the System panel.

He now had one lie detection opportunity!

This was the method he could use to deal with the current situation!

Lie detection, this thing naturally had to detect some important information.

What the woman outside said, detecting that didn't have much meaning.

Relatively speaking, the place where lie detection was most needed was the weird tale rules constructed by the dark characters that appeared before him earlier!

“System, help me detect the truthfulness of the weird tale rule [3. If someone knocks on the door at night, please ignore them.]!”

Currently, this point was very important to Mo De!

Although he had only been in this World for such a short time, because so many people had entered the Tales of the Weird world before, Mo De was already mentally prepared and warmed up, so his state was quite good.

But even so, he could only maintain his calmness.

If it weren't for the sudden appearance of the System, giving him a feeling of having support, the situation would probably be even worse.

“Ding~ Rule weird tale 3 detected as a lie. System has supplemented for the Host.”

[3. Between 12:00 AM and 6:00 AM, the door must be tightly locked! If someone knocks, you must not open the door, do not pay attention, and do not leave your room!]

After the System's prompt voice in his mind ended, the one lie detection opportunity Mo De had was also used up.

“Between twelve o'clock at night and six o'clock in the morning?” Seeing this prompt, Mo De immediately looked at the clock on the wall.

Around 11:50 PM!

In other words, the time when he couldn't open the door was only ten minutes later?

In that case, he still had ten minutes to comfort this only relative outside.

Taking a deep breath, Mo De kept drafting in his mind, calming his emotions as he walked towards the door.

His palm touched the cold doorknob, like touching a cold knife handle.

In Mo De's opinion, if he wanted to live longer, he had to learn to adapt.

And right now, according to the System's prompt, if opening the door was not dangerous, then this was an opportunity to adapt.

As long as he found peace of mind, his thoughts would also become much calmer.

“Click~”

The lock on the door made a slight sound, and Mo De finally slowly opened the door.

There was no terrifying scene outside the door, just a woman standing there wearing thin white clothes, with blonde hair and blue eyes, and a curvy figure.

Her caring expression was like a cup of warm water, making people feel at ease.

This scene made Mo De feel a bit surprised, and at the same time, he felt it was within reason.

That's right, since he didn't violate the rules, there would be no danger.

“Dear, why are you sweating so much?” The woman outside spoke with concern.

“It's nothing, just exercised for a while,” Mo De recalled some information in his mind and answered vaguely.

“Dear, don't tire yourself out too much. I know Bosen's death has been bothering you lately, after all, this case is truly terrifying, but you must also take care of your health. If something happens to you, I will be very sad.”

The woman placed her hands on her chest.

More than half of her fair face was in the shadows, with only the desk lamp in his room illuminating a bit of her face.

It should have been a look of concern, but with the backdrop of the shadows, it was abnormally distorted, sending chills down one's spine.

Bosen.

Mo De understood from the information that this was the victim of the dismemberment case.

From the woman's words, it seemed that this Town was indeed in a relatively serious atmosphere because of that dismemberment case.

Following the woman's words, Mo De, combining the first weird tale rule, said calmly, “Sigh, how can I not care about such a thing, but I will take care of my body.”

“As for you, it's so late, you should also go to bed early.”

Mo De wasn't actually sure about the intimacy of the relationship between his current identity and the woman.

But he remembered the rule about not alienating relatives very clearly.

“Sigh, I'm used to it.” The woman sighed, then looked at Mo De again: “Dear, why don't we let our daughter sleep here tonight?”

“You haven't spent time with the Child for many days recently.”

The woman's words entered Mo De's ears, making him suddenly stiffen!

Hong Lei's daughter?

Didn't the information say that he only had one family member?!

“I'll go get the Child and bring you a quilt by the way.” Seeing that Mo De didn't reply, the woman directly assumed his permission.

Her tone became much more lively as she retreated into the shadows.

Looking at the leaving woman, Mo De's throat moved dryly, trying his best to calm himself down.

Since there was already a Child, then this woman was not a girlfriend, but a wife.

If the weird tale rule that he only had one family member was true, then that meant either his wife or his daughter was not human!

He turned his head to look at the clock in the room.

In the light of the desk lamp, the time was highlighted, 11:51.

There were still nine minutes, and his wife would definitely be able to bring the Child over within this time.

However, Mo De was unsure whether he should agree to her suggestion of bringing the Child to his room.

While contemplating this, Mo De gradually felt that he seemed to have overlooked something.

A cold wind blew on his face, and after the earlier nervous sweat evaporated, it left a chilling sensation, clearing the A Man's mind.

He looked at the completely dark hallway in front of him and the direction where his wife had left without a sound, then Mo De suddenly turned his head and looked at the clock in the room again!

The time hadn't changed, it was still 11:51.

No, something was wrong, this time was not normal!

Although the conversation between him and his wife wasn't long, Mo De remembered that from the moment he left the desk until he opened the door, he had sweated a lot due to nervousness!

During the conversation, he hadn't wiped away any sweat at all.

Now, when he touched his face, the sweat had completely dried!

The speed at which sweat naturally dries varies depending on the temperature, but based on the amount of sweat he had earlier, it would take at least five minutes to air dry naturally!

He had already opened the door for at least five minutes!

But the clock behind him only showed that one minute had passed!

The most crucial thing was.

Mo De didn't know if the time on the clock was real the moment he came out!

If the actual time was 11:55 when he opened the door, then now...

“Dad!” A girl's joyful shout suddenly came from the shadows in the distance.

“Dear, come and help me move this quilt.” Behind the girl, the woman's voice also followed.

“Bang!” Without any hesitation.

Filled with trepidation, Mo De slammed the door shut!

But at the moment it closed, the doorknob outside seemed to be directly grabbed by something, and it slowly began to open downwards!

That force, which definitely didn't belong to a normal person, made Mo De's face flush red and his arms tremble violently!

“Click!”

He narrowly locked the door, and only then did the force gradually opening the door outside suddenly disappear!
