An Yizhi could feel that there was no light source around him, only pitch black.

After all, even with the blindfold on, you can still feel a little light through your eyelids, and there is no light source in the confinement chamber.

With a twist of the tongue, a wooden thorn the size of a toothpick was pulled out from under the tongue.

Hold it in your mouth. An Yizhi wrapped his hands around his hips and turned them in front of him.

Feeling the position of the handcuff keyhole, An Yizhi slowly rubbed the cold handcuffs and inserted the wooden thorn into the keyhole.

"Magic Tricks"

With a slight click, the handcuffs were easily lifted, and he took off his blindfold and moved his muscles, but because he accidentally touched the bruise, he grinned again, and the pain simulation of the system returned.

"As expected, it was dark"

The surrounding can be said to be the darkness that can not be seen, An Yizhi turned his stiff neck, took out the demon sucking crystal from the mezzanine of the single coat, and cast a spell through it to avoid the effect of the lock:

"Dancing Light Technique!"

Originally, the Dancing Light Technique was a skill on the fragment of the Plastic Energy Chapter, but the Plastic Energy Chapter Fragment has a special ability that can be directly learned after multiple uses, and the commonly used skill of Dancing Light Technique An Yizhi can already be used without the Plastic Energy Chapter.

Thanks to this, there would be no way to illuminate Ann Yizhi. The Illumination is from the Eternal Book of Light, and the Demon Eye that sees through the darkness is the alchemy manuscript of Misdrone, both of which require an item to hold.

Four basketball-sized white light sources suddenly appeared, and An Yizhi asked them to stick to the four corners of the room, not to mention that they could illuminate the confinement room perfectly, at least the vision was not a problem.

It seems that no one has come in to clean it for a long time, and a thick layer of dust has accumulated on the ground. The location of the vent was not found, and the location of the exit was not even visible.

It is a pure stone structure of about 10 square meters, and the floor, walls, and ceilings all look like they have been pulled out of a single piece of rock, and there is not even a single gap.

The most striking thing was the large pile of clocks hanging on the wall, and the sound that Ann had heard in the darkness just now was coming from them.

These clocks come in a variety of shapes, from common circles to strange polygons, to similar electronic watches and to very old vertical clocks.

"A life-devouring beast? It's a lie."

He muttered, and walked to the most conspicuous vertical clock:

"But I'm afraid the effect is real, otherwise so many prisoners wouldn't talk about the discoloration, and the effect of similar life loss is because of these clocks?"

He knocked on the dial casing of the glass of the large clock, on which the minute and second hands were not visible, there was only one hour hand, which was now at 6 o'clock and the next quarter turned to 7 o'clock.

"When the guy who escorted me told the person who was guarding the confinement room that he would be held for 60 minutes, the man seemed surprised, and it seemed that the longer I stayed in the confinement cell, the worse it would be for me...... Wait, what's that? ”

Ann pointed at the dial, as if he had spotted something, and he reached out and beckoned a ball of light from the corner of the wall, allowing it to illuminate the dial clearly.

"It's not that there are no minute and second hands, but it's so fast that I can't see it?"

Under the refraction of strong light, you can see a little bit of the light refracted by the metal minute hand and the second hand, and the two watch hands are like propellers, turning very fast.

"What does it mean that the minute and second hands are turning so fast?"

Thinking about what Nitya said, the prisoners who had been to the confinement chamber came back as if they were dozens of years older, and it was not difficult to conclude that the meaning of these hands was likely to be that the life of the person in the confinement was passing rapidly.

After thinking for a while, Ann raised his eyes and looked at the dial again, and its hands changed from 7 to 8.

"So, the hour hand represents one minute of normal time, that is, five turns of the dial in 12 periods is one hour?"

It feels like it's supposed to be a timekeeping tool to let the player know how long the outside door will open, and if they want to explore something, they have to get ahead of the guards before they open the door.

60 minutes to say more or less, An Yizhi didn't have time to think slowly, instead of standing and thinking hard, it was better to take a look.

He tried to reach out and open the dial of the vertical clock, after all, there is a small handle on the side, it seems that the vertical clock has the intention of opening the dial from the beginning of the design, after all, this kind of clock needs to be manually dialed by a person to adjust the time.

"Huh? Card owner? No, isn't it allowed to be opened? ”

The glass cover on the outside of the dial didn't move, and An Yizhi hesitated for a moment, then took a step back and clenched his fist.

Again, there is nothing to gain except for a sore hand.

"Well, brute force doesn't work"

He flicked his sore fingers and shifted his gaze to the pendulum beneath the clock.

This ancient mechanical clock needs to be powered by the pendulum below, and the hands are driven by a gear mechanism, and the pendulum is usually made of glass and other translucent materials, so that the operation of the mechanical clock can be clearly seen.

An Yizhi found a wooden mechanism on the side of the vertical bell, and pressed it hard, and there was a soft sound from the glass window at the pendulum.

"The dial can't be opened, but it can be opened here...... In other words, with the speed of the minute and second hands, shouldn't the pendulum swing like a pump? It's actually a normal speed."

He reached out and grabbed the metal rod of the pendulum, and if the mechanical clock stopped the pendulum, the whole clock would stop running.

However, the power of the moving pendulum is surprisingly large, and as soon as An Yizhi grabbed the metal rod, he felt like he had caught a mad elephant, and he couldn't catch it at all!

What does this mean? Can't resist the torrent of time? ”

He was still in the mood to complain, and carefully observed the space that housed the pendulum, but found no clues, so he had to stand up and ignore it for the time being.

It must be a hint to be able to open here, but he doesn't understand what the use is, he needs more clues.

At this time, the hour hand of the vertical clock pointed to 10, and at the same time, the clock and other clocks made a sound similar to the hour signal, especially the large clock in front of him, which was deafening, and struck it 10 times before stopping.

"It didn't ring before, but it rang at 10 o'clock, is this a clue?"

He was a little confused, habitually touching his chin, feeling a little prickly.

"Beard? I didn't shave in the morning? ”

In the morning, he hurriedly went online, maybe he forgot it, and An Yizhi didn't care, and turned his head to look at the other clocks.

The clocks on the wall were large and small, the largest was the size of a manhole cover, and the smallest was about the same as an ashtray, and he tried to take the clock off the wall, thinking that it was unlikely to succeed, but he did not expect to take off a round watch with little effort.

The wall clock was a lot like a battery-powered electronic watch, and since Ann couldn't find any winding points, the entire dial and the outer shell of the watch were almost integrated, and he tried to smash him on the ground.

Don't worry about noise, such a completely confined space with a thick stone door, as long as you don't make a big explosion, this sound can't be heard from the outside.

However, this wall clock is also the same as the vertical bell, no matter how An Yizhi smashes it, it still stands still, and even scratches have not been left.

"Well, you don't have a clue"

In order to be on the safe side, in case the guards opened the door and found that the clock was in the wrong position, An Yizhi had to hang him back again.

It is worth mentioning that these clocks are attached to the wall by some kind of force, and there are no nails or other places where the watch can be hung in place, as long as they are placed against the wall, they are firmly attached to the wall like magnets.

Looking at the clocks ticking and ticking all over the room, Ann scratched his head.

I didn't find the clue, but I was stumped by the puzzle.

"Am I wrong? The confinement room has nothing to do with the lock? ”

He muttered a little skeptically, and then this conclusion was overturned by himself.

"No, it must have a relationship, the function of the confinement chamber is too strange"

The confinement room, which is what we often call the little dark room. This thing is used in prisons and the military to punish disobedient soldiers and prisoners.

Doesn't anyone think it's just being locked up in a room alone? What's the big deal.

In total darkness and silence, all human fears will be magnified.

Human beings observe the world through the five senses, except for the sense of touch and smell in the small dark room, the people who are locked in do not feel any other information, at first people will entertain themselves by talking to themselves or singing, but after a few hours it begins to work, the brain begins to recall unconsciously, especially some terrifying and painful memories, for a longer time, people will show anxiety, violence, and even hallucinations.

This is undoubtedly a very cruel psychological punishment, and anyone who does not obey only needs to be locked up in a small dark room for two days, and when he comes out, he will have an irrepressible fear of it.

This kind of punishment that does not hurt the human body but only attacks the heart was very popular for a while, but because of the great psychological damage, it was easy to drive a normal person crazy, and it was later abolished.

It's not surprising that there are confinement cells in prisons, and this thing is very effective against the most vicious prisoners, and it is a good way to manage the prisoners and establish their authority.

However, the confinement room in the Alpha Prison actually has a special effect of 'devouring life', which looks like a dick at first glance, but it is not necessary at all.

Whether it is the wizarding world or the real world, the structure of mortals is almost the same, the real world will go crazy if it is locked in a small dark room for a long time, and it is the same in the magical world, if it is just to manage the disobedient thorns, there is no need for the prison to give the confinement room the special effect of 'devouring life', it requires a lot of magic to maintain at the same time, it is easy to lead to the death of the prisoner.

If the 'confinement room' is equal to the 'death penalty room', and the purpose is to kill the prisoner, then it is even more exhaustive, and the magic power to maintain such a special effect is very high with the ass, and it is so troublesome to kill people, and the input and output are not proportional.

From two aspects, the existence of the confinement room with the special effect of 'devouring life' is very abnormal, which gives An Yizhi a strange feeling.

It feels like the confinement chamber was not deliberately set up by the Offa prison side, but had to be set up!

Maybe it's a side effect of the prison lock, or maybe it's a flaw in the design of the lock, so the prison simply converted it into a confinement room for the sake of waste utilization.

This is the most plausible reason, and it is also the reason why An Yizhi would rather be beaten up than run in.

Regardless of whether it was a flaw or a side effect of the lock, at least this place was the closest to the prison lock, and it would also show the easiest place to find, and he felt that he could find the possibility of closing the prison lock here.

However, judging from the current situation, he still needs to continue to explore carefully.
