But things did not go as planned. Just as Xiao Tian was beginning to suspect, someone quickly spoke up to answer.
"We aren't too clear about that person's situation either, but before he vomited blood and fainted, he wasn't attacked in any way."
After thinking for a moment, the person who had spoken seemed to find the answer inaccurate and added, "At least none of us saw him being attacked!"
Once the first person spoke up, others began to chime in one after another.
"He was standing right next to that giant clock at the time, looking utterly incredulous. Oh, and he did reach out to touch the patterns on the face of the clock."
"Then, although he had his back to us, he seemed very disheartened, as if he had seen the giant clock before."
"After that, he suddenly vomited blood and collapsed to the ground."
...
After listening to the pieced-together accounts from everyone, Xiao Tian felt he had a vague idea of what happened.
