Three O'clock in the Afternoon

Introduction to the three o'clock clock When Jian Yi moved into the house with an attic in the old city, he only thought that the old-fashioned wall clock in the corner was an ordinary old thing, until three o'clock on the first afternoon - the pendulum stopped suddenly, the hands made tiny sparks on the dial, and he vaguely saw the scene of a strange alley flashing on the clock face. The repairs failed, and strange things happened one after another: the pendulum was caught on surveillance camera rotating on its own, there were old keys that did not belong to him in the drawer, and there was even a vague figure in his dreams knocking the gears inside the clock. When he found out that the former resident, a clockmaker who disappeared ten years ago, left a clue that "there is a gap in time hidden at three o'clock", the clock face suddenly reflected his devoured future. After the strong light, Jian Yi fell into the "time corridor" inside the clock, which was filled with fragments from different time and space: the clock shop in 1990, the murder scene in the Republic of China, the abandoned clock tower in the future... Each fragment contained the truth about the disappearance of the clockmaker, and also lurked the "time guardian" who was chasing him. In order to break the upcoming time loop, Jian Yi must find the key gear that connects all time and space before each three o'clock, but he did not find it...
