"At first, I just hoped it could help me get out. I saw there was a window on the top of the tower, but I couldn't reach it at that time, so I hoped it could help me get there. So it has a very tall height and a long
Long arms. Because it was very dark in the tower, all I could think about was black, so it was also dark, basically blending into the dark space inside the tower. You can’t tell it unless you look carefully.” Alon recalled.
"Did it send you out?"
"It sent me out. But as soon as I climbed out of the window with my front feet, someone came to look for me below. They were startled by Xiao Hei, and then they had a conflict with Xiao Hei." Aron said casually.
…
"I have an ominous premonition." Wen Hongxu said as he walked on the stairs and glanced at the goosebumps on his arms.
Ye Zuxi looked back and said, "Are you very sensitive?"
"It's just a bit of talent. It's not as good as your hearing, and it's not as good as the circuit talents of those geniuses." Wen Hongxu shrugged.
"Don't be so depressed! Isn't the work we are doing now much better than some so-called geniuses who will only enjoy the blessings later?" Yan Yang put his arm around Wen Hongxu's shoulders and said with a hearty smile.
Ye Zuxi didn't say anything more on this topic, but instead said: "Cheer up, I just discovered a problem."
"What's the problem?" Wen Hongxu and Yan Yang's expressions immediately became serious and they adjusted quickly.
"It's not that there is no sound in this tower, but there is always a dull vibration sound. Generally, this kind of sound always exists in normal buildings, so I classified it as normal at first. But after staying in the tower for a while
, I separated the vibration sound of normal buildings. And the remaining sound still exists." His voice was small, but heavy.
The two people behind him clenched their fists instantly and looked around.
"Don't look, it's below us, directly below us, under the stairs at our feet." Ye Zuxi immediately stopped their meaningless actions.
The two of them stopped moving after hearing this, but kept glancing down from the corner of their eyes.
"The voice is very calm and calm, and there is no intention to attack at the moment. Let's not scare the snake." After saying that, Ye Zuxi slowly stepped upward again.
Wen Hongxu and Yan Yang also slowly followed.
In the empty space inside the tower, for a while, only the footsteps of people and puppets echoed.
When they thought of something following them on the back of the stairs, their steps became a little heavy.
They came to the end of the stairs, and further up were dark wooden boards and a locked iron door blocking the road.
Ye Zuxi winked at Abu.
Abu stepped forward without hesitation, put his hands on the door lock, and applied force, but this time the door lock did not break so easily.
Knowing Abu's answer in the operation circuit, Ye Zuxi shook his head at the two people behind him and said: "Brute force won't work, at least you need a deified level of power to break it. The same goes for the iron gate itself."
Deified level, upon hearing this term, Wen Hongxu and Yan Yang's expressions changed slightly, and then they expressed regret.
This road is blocked.
"We can only consider going back and exploring slowly." Wen Hongxu sighed.
…
"If we conflict with your creation, the outcome will not be good," Xing Liuli said.
"Although Xiao Hei was born out of my fear, he was actually very gentle at my request. It was those rude people who were frightened and attacked first, which frightened him, so he fought back.
"Aron's tone was casual, and he was not interested in those human lives.
"And the purpose of Xiao Hei's birth is to send people out of the tower, so in the end it just drives people out of the tower and there will be no movement. It probably takes this as the meaning of its existence." He
added.
"After that incident, my father forbade me to have any contact with other children. Although I understood that he wanted to protect me, his attitude was still so blunt. Of course, I didn't want to experience this again, so I stopped contacting my peers from now on," said.
At this point, Aaron's eyes couldn't help but waver slightly.
Estella felt something, but didn't say anything.
"I've never been to that tower again. Xiao Hei was probably cleared away by his father long ago." Aaron said, stroking the fingers of his right hand with his left hand.
…
call--
The three people present suddenly felt a gust of cold wind blowing, and their hairs stood up.
Everyone immediately stepped aside, and Abu and the two supporting infantry units stood in front of their respective puppet masters and stood ready.
Just behind everyone, a slender dark figure stood quietly.
If it hadn't been for the breath that seemed to be released by the other party just now, no one would have noticed that it had come behind them unknowingly.
The body of this figure is extremely uncoordinated, with long and thin limbs, a slender torso that is carried on its back, and black hair-like things hanging down from its head, covering its slightly invisible pale face.
The three of them were very restrained and did not let their puppets attack immediately.
The monster in the mirror was attacking rashly in the first place only to increase the risk, so there is no need to do it again.
Fortunately, the tall and thin black figure glanced at them one by one, and then slowly took steps, pacing slowly past everyone's sight.
It reached for something in the "hair" on its head, and after a while, it grabbed a silver-white key.
Seeing the key, Ye Zuxi's eyes narrowed slightly.
The key was the same style as the key he used to open his bedroom.
The tall, thin shadow slowly came to the door with the key, inserted the key into the door lock, and turned it.
With a crisp "click" sound, the door opened.
The black shadow stepped aside, crawled into it from the shadow beside the stairs, and disappeared.
Ye Zuxi made eye contact with Wen Hongxu and Yan Yang, and then Abu came forward to the door and pushed the iron door open.
As Ye Zuxi expected, there was an attic filled with debris.
After Abu confirmed that there was no danger inside, the three of them stepped in one by one, while Yan Yang was careful to be wary of the monster that was probably still there behind him.
"What's going on?" Wen Hongxu asked Ye Zuxi after looking around the attic.
Ye Zuxi shook his head and said: "There is too little information to make inferences."
"That thing really opened the door for us so inexplicably?" Yan Yang muttered.
If he was the only one present, he would definitely not be able to help but take action when the monster came close. That thing looked so weird and terrifying, just like something crawling out of horror movies and horror games. Who would dare to believe that such a thing could actually
Come out and slowly open the door for them?
Ye Zuxi raised his head and looked at the high window.
"That's the target."
"Hey, that thing came in." Yan Yang suddenly said.
Wen Hongxu and Ye Zuxi immediately looked behind them.
The tall, thin black figure slowly crawled into the attic through the crack in the door. Its long and thin limbs slowly supported the body and stood up from the prostrate state.
If someone with less courage were present, they would probably be frightened to death by this horrific scene.
"Let's go!" Ye Zuxi shouted.
Wen Hongxu immediately jumped up, stepped on the wall and grabbed the edge of the window.
After flipping it up, Wen Hongxu was a little surprised to find that the glass in the window was broken. He didn't pay much attention to it, being careful not to scratch himself with the glass fragments before flipping out.
The window outside the window is not far from the main body of the building. With the cooperation of the doll, he can easily jump over this distance and reach the roof of the mansion.
After Wen Hongxu, Ye Zuxi asked Yan Yang to leave first, and then himself.
However, when Ye Zuxi had already reached half of the window, he looked back. The tall and thin black figure was still just in place. Ye Zuxi felt that the figure carrying the weight on its back seemed to have raised its head.
, look here.
A very gentle voice, calm and soothing.
Ye Zuxi thought to himself.
Could it be that it thinks we can't get out of here on our own, so it wants help?
Naturally, there was no way to know the answer. Ye Zuxi didn't think any more, he completely pulled out of the window and was taken to the roof of the mansion by Abu.
"That thing isn't chasing you, right?" Yan Yang said, looking at the dark window.
"No. It would be better to say that it may not have any intention of harming us." Ye Zuxi shook his head.
Wen Hongxu spoke at this time: "The window was broken before us. Did someone come before us and get out of the tower through this method? Is it the investigator you mentioned?"
He was holding a shard of glass in his hand.
Ye Zuxi thought for a while and said: "The door in the corridor in the middle of the tower is sealed, and the door at the bottom is also tied up with iron chains. Liu Xian does not have the ability to directly penetrate the physical barrier."
In other words, this broken window should be the existence scene of this chaotic horizon itself.
This unimportant issue did not keep everyone entangled for too long, but turned their attention to the surroundings. Being on the roof, the view suddenly became clear.
Immediately afterwards, everyone deeply felt the hugeness of this building complex.
The layer upon layer of buildings and a cultural atmosphere similar to the ancient European style but with many differences brought them the impact of facing an unknown civilization.
The buildings are interspersed in an orderly manner, forming an extremely complex architectural group.
Some of the buildings are tall and majestic, while others are filled with a touch of life. These two styles are blended together, but they appear to be orderly and non-intrusive.
This is not a simple building complex, but a "city", a city of a noble being.
