Wen Wen is very sure that the essence of this endless staircase is a powerful containment object that can perfectly construct an illusion, and may also be able to control the space in the church to a certain extent.

It took even Wen Wen so long to figure out the illusion it created, at least at the upper level.

If it has some other abilities, maybe the rating will be raised to the level of True Sequence. Such a contained object will be far more dangerous than a simple endless ladder.

If Wen Wen guessed correctly, the staircase was at least a hundred meters deep and was real, because when he went two floors deep, although the temperature had been changing slowly, it always changed within that range.

The combination of reality and illusion creates such a powerful illusion.

Wen Wen said coldly: "I'm very curious about what purpose you had in constructing this illusion of endless stairs. All the demon hunters who came to explore came out safely, so your purpose was not to harm the people who came to explore.

"

The old man transformed by the mud monster said: "I don't know what its purpose is, because the me you see now is actually just an illusion, a mechanism to prevent someone from seeing through the illusion and appearing."

Wen Wen asked curiously: "I have seen through this mechanism, what do you want to do to me?"

The old man shook his head and said: "You are very powerful. I can't do anything to you, but I can invite you out and prevent you from entering here again."

As soon as he finished speaking, Wen Wen felt a change in space, and the next second he appeared outside the stairs, facing the door of the church, which was a signal to him to leave the church quickly.

Wen Wen turned to look at the dilapidated wooden door, and rushed in again like a gust of wind, but this time he only ran a short distance before reaching the end, because what he saw this time was just an ordinary, nothing.

Mysterious basement.

"This church is not a storage object at the upper order, at least the true order level. As long as you enter its scope, you will adventure in its illusion, and you will be expelled if you encounter those you cannot control..."

Wen Wen's expression was gloomy and uncertain. Although this thing had no obvious malicious intent, based on its ability alone, it was impossible to just send a semi-retired old demon hunter to guard it.

After returning, Wen Wen will tell the association about the news here and ask the association to send professionals to deal with the church. Demon hunters can no longer be allowed to explore casually.

Wen Wen pushed open the door of the church, wanting to find the old demon hunter and get his two thousand demon hunting coins back. Although the endless stairs were an illusion, Wen Wen actually made it through the twentieth floor.

But what surprised Wen Wen was that the old demon hunter was not sitting at the door like before.

There is a chair at the door, but there is already a layer of dust on the chair...

Wen Wen frowned: "The old demon hunter I saw at the door before was also an illusion? This thing's ability is really strong..."

"Wait a minute, when did the hallucinations begin?"

"Am I hallucinating now too?"

Wen Wen suddenly broke into a cold sweat behind his back. He suddenly had a terrible guess. Could it be that he had been in an illusion ever since he entered this town?

He fully expanded his senses and carefully searched every land nearby, but he didn't feel the breath of a living person!

All the townspeople, Tao Qingqing, and the three boys disappeared.

It was as if he was the only one who existed in this town!

…

The old demon hunter sat on a chair, waiting for the people in the church to finish breaking through.

There was a small sign at the door of the church. The numbers on the sign indicated the number of floors the intruder had passed through. Seeing the person who had just entered pass the twenty-first floor, he couldn't help but open his mouth.

"The two thousand demon hunting coins I just got, I haven't even grasped them yet, and I have to give them back again..."

"He is obviously a strong man, but he still hides his aura and pretends to be weak. This person will definitely not be able to find a wife in the future."

In the midst of regret, he saw Wen Wen, who looked a little embarrassed compared to before, walked out of the church in frustration, and then left the church, without mentioning the two thousand demon hunting coins to him at all.

The old demon hunter muttered: "He left on his own, not because of me. Such a generous demon hunter will definitely find a good-looking wife in the future..."

In the hotel, Tao Qingqing is tinkering with Wen Wen's laptop.

When Wen Wen left, he told her the password and several channels through which he usually checked the news, hoping that she could find out the case.

In order to win Wen Wen's trust, Tao Qingqing investigated very seriously.

She first suspected that the murderer might be an octopus or a similar monster based on those suckers.

That type of monster needs water or a humid environment to survive. There was only one creek near Tianshi Town. She carefully checked along the creek and found no trace of the monster's existence.

Her investigation was in trouble, but she didn't just focus on Tian Laosan's case, but also collected information on all the murders near the town as a whole.

Tao Qingqing's brows gradually tightened as she explored the information.

"What, what did you find?"

Wen Wen's voice came from behind. Tao Qingqing turned around and looked over, and realized that Wen Wen had returned to the hotel at some point.

Tao Qingqing explained: "I found that the frequency of various death incidents in this town has been too high in recent days."

"Suicide, car accident, vendetta, accidental death...etc., more than 30 murders occurred one after another. Each case seems to have a reasonable explanation, but the frequency is more than ten times higher than in a normal small town."

"With such a high frequency, there is only one possibility, and that is that there are monsters killing people secretly in the town."

"But what puzzles me is that I can't find a trace of super power anyway. Even if there are indeed no monsters here, there shouldn't be even a trace of super power..."

Wen Wen said to Tao Qingqing in a sweet and greasy voice: "Qingqing, don't be discouraged. The meaning of the puzzle is to be solved by you. As long as you find the monster, I will accompany you to solve it."

Tao Qingqing looked at Wen Wen in confusion. Why did this guy suddenly become so gentle and disgusting? Normally, shouldn't he be like Zhou Bapi...

Although she really wanted Wen Wen to treat her like this in her heart, she was still a little uncomfortable when Wen Wen really behaved like this.

"Look what I'm doing. There are flowers on my face. Tell me if you find anything else!"

As soon as this thought flashed through her mind, Wen Wen's attitude immediately became bad and he scolded her.

That bad attitude dispelled her suspicions and made her feel more at ease.
