While I was thinking wildly, there was a clear sound of glass breaking suddenly from the steps going up around the bronze pillar.
Fourteen also heard it.
His dark eyes glanced at me, then looked up at the top of the stairs.
I followed Fourteen's gaze and looked up. The thick dust turned into a layer of mist, covering the scene on the stairs so tightly that I couldn't see it clearly at all.
The bronze pillar, which only three people can hug together, also blocks most of the sight.
It seemed like a figure flashed, or it was my illusion.
It's just that the figure doesn't look like Lu Xiaohong's, but like that of another person.
Slender, looking a little thin.
It's vaguely familiar.
"Fourteen, how about we go up and have a look!"
I touched Fourteen's head and said softly.
Although we don't know what dangers there will be upstairs, we have been in the hall on this floor for a while, and nothing has changed, and no more illusions have occurred.
But when I remembered the fake Lu Xiaohong I had seen before, he forcefully tried to pull me upstairs, and I felt a little scared.
But I'm afraid, we can't stay in this hall forever.#@$&
Although this place seems to be safe, the most important thing for us right now is to find a few other crystal stones and break them, so as to find a way out of the Jiujue Illusion Realm.
The only thing that worries me is that after finally finding Fourteen, if I rashly enter the upper level, I will most likely be separated from her again.
I am afraid that she will be in danger again.
"Fourteen, after we go up, it is very likely that we will be separated again just like when we came in before. When the time comes, you must remember the illusion you have experienced before. Don't be soft when you are not sure whether it is me."
I touched Fourteen's head and said to her: "The illusion in this place has a pattern. As long as you see through it and hit the illusion, the illusion will disappear."%&(&
After saying that, I thought about it and simply took off the half-remained shirt inside and made a large cloth bag to wrap around Fourteen's mouth and nose.
"No matter what you see, don't bite it with your mouth. The dust in this place is very weird. Try not to breathe it into your body." I told Fourteen softly.
Fourteen, who had returned to the body of Nephew Ying, could not speak to me. I don’t know why the hair on her back was bleeding from the roots, but thinking about what the sword spirit said, combined with my own situation of vomiting blood when inhaling dust,
, I think it’s probably related to the dust here.
It's probably just that Fourteen and I have different reactions to inhaling dust.
Fourteen obediently allowed me to cover her mouth and nose with half of her shirt, and rubbed my face with her big furry head.
I straightened the cloth covering my face again, held Baipi Dragon Scale tightly in my hands, then turned to look at Fourteenth, and said in a deep voice: "Let's go!"
Fourteen's dark eyes were looking at me unblinkingly, as if he was afraid that I would suddenly disappear.
After hearing what I said, he looked at me deeply, and then turned to look at the top of the bronze stairs behind the mist.
The golden coat all over his body stood up again, like golden needles standing on end.
"Wow——"
Fourteen let out a low roar in his throat, raised his thick tiger paw, and jumped up the stairs.
I followed closely behind Fourteen. Although I didn't think it would be useful, it was best if I didn't get separated from Fourteen again.
Fourteen thick tiger paws stepped on the stairs, making a muffled "dong-dong" sound, and a large amount of dust rushed towards us.
Like a smoke bomb.
Fortunately, Fourteen and I were well prepared. We just felt that our eyes were blurry and we couldn't open our eyes, but we didn't feel choked and there was no tightness in our chest.
I'm a little glad that I'm resourceful and found a way to deal with this dust.
An extremely conventional spiral staircase.
However, after walking around the bronze pillar in the middle and going up about twenty-seven steps, a long corridor appeared in front of us.
The corridor is very wide and seems to be built around the bronze pillar and spiral staircase in the middle.
There was no door or window in sight, except for the corridor railings covered with various runes and reliefs of ghost faces, and a wall full of mirrors facing us.
The dust all over the place has not dissipated. Maybe it was there to begin with, or maybe it was raised by the footsteps of Fourteen and I going upstairs. It was so foggy that we couldn’t see clearly.
Fourteen and I rushed up the corridor almost side by side. When we first saw ourselves in the foggy rear mirror, we were so shocked that we stopped in our tracks at the same time.
I thought I was seeing some weird phantom again.
It wasn't until we saw that it was just a mirror that Fourteen and I breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.
But soon, Fourteen and I looked at ourselves in the mirror and looked at each other again, and my heart lifted again.
The hair on Fourteen's dark round eyes was also wrinkled, and he stared at the image in the mirror in front of him doubtfully.
Although Fourteen and I looked in the mirror as miserable as we looked now, neither of us had the temporary "masks" covering our mouths and noses.
The moment our eyes met ours in the mirror, I clearly saw the corner of my mouth in the mirror twitching, revealing a strange smile.
If I thought I was dazzled when I saw that smile, but when I discovered that the "masks" on my face and Shi Shi's were still in good condition, I was already sure that I was not dazzled.
The "I" in the mirror really showed that weird smile when he looked at me.
And the moment Fourteen and I looked at each other, I noticed out of the corner of my eye that "us" in the mirror hadn't moved and had been staring at us.
Fourteen and I walked cautiously along the corridor, looking at "ourselves" reflected in the mirror from time to time. "I" and "Fourteen" in the mirror were also walking slowly, and the moment they looked back at us,
There will be a weird smile on the corners of the mouth.
The look in his eyes even had a hint of provocation.
All of this can't help but make people feel frightened. It's even more frightening than the illusions they could see and come into contact with before.
The only good thing is that after Fourteen and I came up, we did not separate because of the illusion. My hand was always gently resting on her big furry head, and her body was always close to my legs.
Neither Shi Shi nor I made a sound, we walked forward slowly, seemingly relaxed, but in fact we were nervous and always prepared to deal with possible emergencies.
Every time I see the "self" looking at me provocatively in the mirror, I even have a feeling that the next second, the "Hu Ling" inside will break through the mirror and come out.
When the time comes, if you fight "yourself", you don't know who will win.
But the "Hu Ling" in the mirror seemed to be testing my endurance, but there was no movement.
He just gave me a weird smile from time to time, or raised his eyebrows at me provocatively.
This feeling is even more torturous. I have the urge to smash this mirror wall, and I almost can't control myself.
