Ding-a-ling-a-ling-a-ling-a-ling!——
A sudden and urgent ringing sound echoed!
Hu Ya quickly came to her senses.
She hastily let go of the Gardener's hand, her heart greatly embarrassed!
What was she thinking?! How could she be holding hands with an NPC?! NPCs are created for games! They are virtual! They are not real at all!
Meanwhile, the incessant chiming of the clock was discomposing her mind.
"Why is it suddenly making so much noise, it's deafening..." Hu Ya irritably looked around until she spotted an alarm clock.
The clock was of an ancient design and quite solid. It was enclosed by a wooden case with floral patterns and statues of angels.
Unable to locate any mechanism to stop the ringing alarm, she was irritated and upset and she lifted the alarm clock to slam it on the table!
"What a piece of junk! Stop ringing!"
Thud!
The wooden bottom fell off revealing a metal key that dropped to the ground.
Simultaneously, the ringing also ceased.
