Lu Xiaohong didn't care about his red, swollen and bleeding lips, but stretched out a hand and waved it in front of my eyes.
I was stunned for a moment, and my first reaction was to turn around and look around.
Where is the octagonal square? It is clearly still on the first floor of the bronze tower.
It's not the chaos that you saw when you first came in, it's just that the light is very dim.
With our eyesight, there is no problem in seeing the surrounding situation clearly, and it is not much different from that under normal light.
This is an octagonal bronze tower, so the space in the tower is also octagonal. Looking from the inside, there is a small window on each wall of the tower, but the window does not seem to lead to the outside. The small window
All are pitch black.
Don't know what it is used for.
The staircase is in the center of the bronze tower. A bronze pillar as thick as three people can hug each other and engraved with complex patterns goes straight to the top of the tower. The wide staircase spirals up along the bronze pillar.
The stairs and the main hall on the first floor of the bronze tower were covered with a thick layer of dust, and messy footprints were scattered on the ground.
I thought it was the choking dust falling from the roof of the stone house, but it seems it is not an illusion.
I looked down again and saw no blood on the ground. My clothes were also clean, with no trace of vomiting blood.
But that feeling was too real.
The pain in the chest, the foul smell, and the "ticking" sound of the blood drops falling on the ground were all as if they were real.
To this day, I can still smell the stench of blood and rotting corpses in my nose.
Everything that just happened was just my imagination?
"Ah Hong, why are you okay?"
I turned my head, looked at Lu Xiaohong's face and asked, "And, where is Fourteen? Why haven't I seen her?"
I just looked around and there was no sign of Shi Shi on the entire first floor.
"Fourteen just went upstairs first!"
Lu Xiaohong took my hand and said, "This place is too weird. Let's go to the second floor to see what's going on!"
My eyes fell on the bronze spiral staircase leading to the second floor, and I was stunned for a moment.
Looking back at Lu Xiaohong, "Ah Hong, are you hiding something from me?"
"No, what's wrong?"
Lu Xiaohong was stunned, smiled, and stretched out his hand to touch my forehead, "Are you scared? It's okay. Nannan, this tower has a total of eighteen floors. When we get to the eighteenth floor, we will be convinced."
The old beggar’s chance.”
Lu Xiaohong said that he took my hand and raised his feet to go up the steps.
Because he walked a little hastily, I was taken a step forward.
The thick floating dust on the bronze steps was left with most of Lu Xiaohong's footprints. The dust flew in all directions like a layer of mist, and I felt another choking in my throat.
There is a dull pain in the chest.
"Ah Hong, Shi Shi didn't go upstairs. What happened to her? Why did you lie to me?"
I pressed one foot firmly against the stairs and looked at Lu Xiaohong and asked.
"I didn't lie to you!"
Lu Xiaohong pulled me with a smile, "Why, you were so frightened by the monster in the fantasy that you haven't recovered yet?"
Fantasy? Monster?
I looked at Lu Xiaohong, and a chill flashed through my heart.
The person in front of me is definitely not Lu Xiaohong!
The dust on the stairs was very heavy, and apart from the footprints Lu Xiaohong had just stepped on, there were no footprints of Shi Shi.
Even in the entire hall of the Bronze Tower, there are no tiger paw prints of the Fourteenth.
More importantly, from the time Lu Xiaohong suddenly appeared in front of me until now, I have never told him what I saw.
Now he asked me if I was so frightened by the monster in the fantasy that I hadn't recovered yet.
I subconsciously put my hand into my pocket.
The strange thing is that the Baipi Dragon Scales that had clearly fallen to the ground found their way back into my pocket at some point.
I hold the Baipi Dragon Scale tightly in my hand.
"You are not Lu Xiaohong!"
I fiercely pulled my hand out of the palm of the "Lu Xiaohong" in front of me, stepped back a few steps, and pointed the tip of the dragon scale dagger at him, "Who are you?"
"Lu Xiaohong" was stunned, looked at me with some confusion, and asked: "I'm not Lu Xiaohong? Then who am I?"
He said and raised his hand to scratch his head.
A burst of acrid dust fell from his head as he moved, destroying everything like dry matter. Within a moment, only half of Lu Xiaohong's head was left.
The smaller half turned into mist-like dust and spread in all directions.
My eyes widened and I subconsciously took a few steps back.
"I'm not Lu Xiaohong, then who am I?"
The "person" rubbed half of his head vigorously, turned back and walked down the steps, and walked towards me.
Balls of dust fell from his head and face, but he was still talking to himself and said to me: "Nanny, tell me, who am I?"
His entire head had turned into dust and disappeared, leaving only his body walking towards me and stretching out a hand towards me.
Almost touching me.
"roll--"
I yelled in a panic, and stabbed the dragon scale dagger randomly.
But I didn't touch anything, only a cloud of dust covering my body.
I was choked and coughed violently again, a sharp pain in my chest, and a mouthful of blood spurted out again with a "pop" sound.
The surroundings turned into darkness again.
Suddenly there was a "whirring" sound in my ears.
I felt like I was suddenly in a wilderness, and the strong wind blew the broken hair on my forehead straight into my eyelids. It was so itchy that I couldn't help but raise my hand and wipe my face vigorously.
Suddenly I could see again.
There is a wilderness all around, with only jagged rocks and wild grass blown here and there by the strong wind.
There isn't a tree.
The thick clouds above the head were blown open by the strong wind, revealing half of the blood-red moon.
The entire wilderness was illuminated by the blood moon into a hazy blood-red color.
There was no sound except the wind.
At this point, I already have a rough idea of what kind of place I am.
From the moment I stepped into this bronze tower, everything I saw was not real, but an illusion.
The square full of living corpses is fake, the stone house is fake, the first floor hall of the bronze tower is fake, Lu Xiaohong is fake, and the wilderness in front of him is also fake.
I just don’t know what kind of illusions will come out to attack me.
Could it be that from the moment we stepped into this bronze tower, we entered a strange formation?
Only everything seen in the formation will be illusory.
This will blind the five senses and make people feel that everything they see and experience is real.
Since it is a formation, there will be formation eyes. I closed my eyes, deliberately ignored the "whirring" sound of the wind, and let my heart completely return to a calm meditative state.
After a while, I slowly opened my eyes.
It was still a wasteland, the wind was still howling, but beside me, I don’t know when, suddenly there was an extra person.
