It's strange to say that in such a bright and high tower, they have been in for so long, but no one has seen an empty space, as if no one has ever been here.
On the stairs that winded directly to the top of the tower, the echo of human footsteps suddenly came.
The two people hid under the stairs in unison, hiding their figures.
Bada——
Bada——
Bada——
The footsteps were extremely regular, approaching slowly.
The two of them held their breath, hearing the sound, getting closer and closer.
Then the most surprising thing was that the footsteps actually stopped not far from them.
Bai Xue frowned, and impulsively wanted to rush out and take action directly, but the person next to her grabbed her arm tightly.
Sophie grabbed Bai Xue's arm and shook her head fiercely. There was a look of disapproval between her eyebrows. Bai Xue saw his serious attitude and did not throw away her hand.
Bai Xue raised her eyes slightly, looking at the position of the spiral staircase. She couldn't see who the owner of the footsteps was. She could only see a soft gray robe dragging on the stairs.
Fortunately, the footsteps that stopped there seemed to be just a false alarm, and he left them shortly after.
Listening to the footsteps gradually getting away, the space returned to calm for a while. After they were sure that no one would appear anymore, the two people walked out from the corner of the stairs.
"Have you forgotten what I just said? Don't alert the enemy. Avoid it if you can. We have other things to do."
Sophie looked around to make sure no one was there and then warned Bai Xue again.
After finishing speaking, she looked up at the high stairs, expressing worry.
"The noise from this staircase is too obvious. If there are other people up there, it would be too troublesome. Let's look for another way to go."
"With such a high tower, there is no other way!"
The two people were wandering around in the empty hall like headless flies.
The silent and cold marble of the hall reflected their figures searching for other ways.
Suddenly, Sophie felt a malicious gaze that made her back feel cold. She turned around and found that there was nothing behind her, only a white wall.
"strangeness!"
"Why does it feel like someone is staring at me?"
She looked around twice and found nothing wrong, so she had to turn her head away again.
When she turned her head in confusion, she was still groping lightly on the wall, wondering if she could find some hidden mechanism.
But soon, the malicious sight that made her very uncomfortable appeared again, this time it was still behind her, and Sophie turned around without hesitation.
She didn't know when there was a stone in her hand, and she threw it straight behind her.
"Bang——"
The stone hit the gray wall and made a moderate sound. The sound continued to echo in the empty room. It took me several seconds to think about it before the intermittent sound stopped.
Bai Xue heard the movement on the other side and turned around in confusion.
"Did you find any problem?"
"Do you ever feel like someone is watching us?"
Sophie reached out and rubbed her arms. She felt that dense goose bumps had appeared on her arms. The malicious prying eyes made her hair stand on end.
"Don't you feel anything? Someone is watching where you are!"
Bai Xue walked over quickly.
When Sophie saw Bai Xue approaching, her uneasiness calmed down a little.
She took a deep breath, trying to convince herself that what she had just experienced was all an illusion, and smiled uncomfortably.
"Don't you feel it? That may be my illusion. I felt like there was someone behind me twice just now, but it's so empty here. If there is really someone, I should be able to find it."
Sophie found an excuse for her fuss just now and waved her hand casually.
"We'd better keep looking."
Bai Xue walked to her side in silence.
"I'm with you."
Sophie's lips moved slightly, but in the end she did not refuse. The two of them walked together to examine the details around them, even the fine lines on the wall.
But after looking around for almost a full time, she still found nothing. To Sophie's surprise, the creepy sight that made her hair stand on end also disappeared, as if what happened before was indeed just her illusion.
Could it be that it was really my misunderstanding just now?
The seeds of doubt were planted in her heart.
Little did they know that as soon as this seed was planted, it grew into a towering tree due to unexpected changes.
When Bai Xue was a little further away, Sophie once again felt the burning gaze behind her.
This time she did not look back, but walked quickly to Bai Xue's side. Her gaze seemed to be a little unwilling and resentful, and it slowly disappeared.
"It seems like there are really other people here. What I felt just now was not an illusion!"
"But those eyes seem to be a little afraid of you. When I walk next to you, those eyes disappear."
After hearing what she said, Bai Xue thoughtfully set up a circle around her, and her eyes fell on the opposite wall.
"Where is the line of sight you just felt? Is it on the opposite side?"
Sophie thought for a moment, reviewed her position just now, compared the position of Bai Xue's fingers, and nodded.
"That's right."
Bai Xue held her with one hand and walked casually towards the wall.
"Since you think that line of sight really exists, then take a look and see what is behind this wall."
As she spoke, before Sophie had time to react, her hand quickly changed, and beautiful golden scales appeared on her hand, making her hand as bright as made of gold.
The palm filled with bright luster easily cut through the wall without even making a sound, just like cutting open tofu.
Sophie's eyes widened, and she looked around for fear of provoking others.
Bai Xue's palm easily dug another inch into the wall.
"snort!"
"Your feeling is not wrong, there is indeed something in it!"
Bai Xue suddenly let out a sneer, exerted all his strength with his arms, and a small piece of wall rotated in the direction of his exertion and was pulled down.
After the shell of the wall was peeled away, it was discovered that the white wall did not seem to be a common building structure.
The piece torn off by Bai Xue was a whole piece of white metal.
This kind of metal seems to have good ductility. A large hole was torn out in the wall, and the slightly convergent edges can be seen.
In addition, through the torn gap, a somewhat transparent glass wall is exposed.
The rich black liquid vibrated slightly inside the glass wall, making Sophie lose her mind for a moment.
