Chapter 48: Separation

“…… 34、35、35! ”

Walking in the empty and uninhabited old steps, Ye Yang silently counted.

When he counted to thirty-six, he paused abruptly, stopped, and looked around with a pair of eyes.

When he saw the blood-colored mural on the dark side of the wall, his body shook violently, and his face was full of horror.

A small inconspicuous strip of cloth had been buried in the dust under the corner.

"Stop! Stop it! He shouted with sudden urgency.

Walking on the boundless steps, everyone was already dazed and close to numbness.

When they heard Ye Yang's shout, they instinctively continued to walk forward, and it took a long time to react and turn around stiffly.

"Senior Brother Ye Yang, what's wrong?" Seeing that he seemed to have discovered something, Lu Xiaoxi walked over and said with a serious face.

"Senior Sister Lu Xiaoxi, this step is a dead end! We've been going around in circles just now! Ye Yang said heavily,

"Dead end? How can it be? Lu Xiaoxi exclaimed, full of disbelief.

"Senior sister, look!" Ye Yang pointed to the wall and said.

Lu Xiaoxi walked over suspiciously, and the bright light charm in his hand emitted a bright light, illuminating the wall that was difficult to see on the dark side before.

The blood-colored skull mural reappeared.

"This is ......" Lu Xiaoxi unconsciously covered her mouth and exclaimed.

"I've noticed that every thirty-six steps, there is a mural of blood-colored skulls on this wall. But I'm not sure if we've been going around in circles all the time, or if the blood-colored mural is just a special mark, appearing every thirty-six steps. It wasn't until I threw down this strip of cloth as a marker, and after continuing thirty-six steps I found it again! Ye Yang said quietly, his face gloomy.

Hearing his explanation, Zhao Tian's face changed drastically, if what he said was true, it meant that they had once again entered a cycle similar to a dead end, and they couldn't get out.

How could such a thing be! This is definitely a lie.

His head spun sharply, and he suddenly thought of one of the biggest flaws in this lie.

Zhao Tian sneered, and suddenly stepped forward and scolded sternly: "What thirty-six steps! What nonsense are you talking about again! If we've been going around in circles, why haven't we ever discovered the way we came! ”

When everyone heard this, they looked at each other and nodded secretly.

When Lu Xiaoxi heard Zhao Tian's explanation, she couldn't tell which of the two was right and who was wrong for a while.

Oh, yes!

If this staircase is an endless loop, they have been going around in circles, and they should go back to the old school building, how can they still be on the stairs.

"I don't know about that!" Ye Yang frowned and said, obviously very distressed about this question. But he thought for a moment and said, "But I have proof that what I said is the truth!" ”

"What evidence!" Zhao Tian sneered.

Ye Yang turned around and walked to the corner, bent down to pick up something and handed it over, and said lightly: "This is my evidence!" ”

Zhao Tian glanced at it and said contemptuously: "But what can a shabby strip of cloth picked up from the ground prove?" ”

Hearing him ridicule three times and twice, the clay man was also angry, Ye Yang's eyes were cold, and he sneered back: "If you haven't figured out the situation, don't talk nonsense here." This strip of cloth was torn off my clothes and thrown on the ground as a marker. Now that I'm seeing it here again, what does that mean? ”

"Humph! It's just your side of the story, you can say whatever you want, and it doesn't prove anything? Zhao Tian laughed coldly, not taking Ye Yang's words seriously at all.

"If you don't believe me, try it and you'll know I'm right!" Ye Yang showed no weakness.

"How do you try?" This is Lu Xiaoxi interjecting on the side and asking.

"It's easy!" Ye Yang said lightly, "Leave some people standing here, and the rest continue to move forward." If the next two groups of people can meet again, won't it prove the truth of what I said? If I don't meet nature, it proves that what I said is wrong! ”

"What! Separate again! ”

"No, absolutely not. That's how the four classmates who disappeared before were lost! ”

……

As soon as he heard what he said, there was an uproar among the crowd.

Hearing their fearful words, Ye Yang was even more upset, obviously what he said was the truth, why didn't they believe it! If it weren't for Senior Sister Lu Xiaoxi, I wouldn't care if you lived or died!

He was suddenly annoyed and said, "Don't worry! I don't need you to go, I'll just go by myself! Just wait here! ”

With that, he angrily walked on.

"Wait! Ye Yang, wait for me. I'm with you! At this time, Lu Xiaoxi stepped forward and said softly.

"Lu Xiaoxi, you actually want to go on an adventure alone! You're the only fighting force among us right now, and what are we going to do if the demons come? Zhao Tian's face sank, extremely ugly.

"Don't worry! I've got my own way of coping. Lu Xiaoxi said lightly, took out a bunch of charms from his arms and handed them over, "This Zhengyang talisman can protect your safety, and this Mingguang talisman can help you illuminate." If you don't have the guts to take the risk, wait for us here! ”

After that, she turned to Ye Yang and said, "Senior brother, let's go!" ”

Ye Yang nodded at her movingly, and walked straight forward with her.

Looking at the figure of the two leaving, Zhao Tian smiled coldly, "Lu Xiaoxi, you have to shelter this kid, if what he said is wrong later, see how you end up!" ”

He didn't notice that the blood-colored skull mural on the wall had changed abruptly, and the blood was dripping brightly.

A grimace appeared, cracking a bloody mouth like a black hole, and letting out a sneer.

Hehehe!

……

"1, 2, 3......" walked on the steps, this time Ye Yang and Lu Xiaoxi walked very fast, and kept counting in their mouths.

"If it's true, as the junior said, there are thirty-six steps on this ladder, and we have been in an endless loop, then how can we get out?" Lu Xiaoxi frowned as she walked, her mood very heavy. Although I believed what my junior said, I instinctively didn't want this bad thing to happen.

“34、35、36!” As he counted to the thirty-sixth number, Ye Yang suddenly stopped, looked around, and found that there was no one.

"What about those people? Is it really my own fault? Ye Yang looked blankly at the blood-colored skull mural in the shadow of the wall on that side.

Seeing this, Lu Xiaoxi also breathed a sigh of relief.

"Senior Brother Ye Yang, it seems that this ladder is not as simple as we thought, let's go back and gather with other classmates quickly!" She whispered.

"Hmm!" Ye Yang nodded in frustration.

"Looks like I'm mistaken! But what's the deal with the strip of cloth I threw earlier? Why do you see it again? "He didn't understand.

With a stomach full of confusion, he followed Lu Xiaoxi back along the way he came.

There are only monotonous and repetitive steps on the endless staircase, and there is no other signing, and it is difficult to realize how far it is to go out.

Ye Yang and Lu Xiaoxi had no choice but to count the steps they had walked under their feet by counting them.

When they counted to thirty-six again, they stood on the top of the steps and looked at each other with panic and confusion in their eyes.

In front of them, the people who were standing here waiting for them had long disappeared, and there was not even a trace left.

"Where did they go?" Ye Yang asked in a lost voice.

Lu Xiaoxi's face was heavy, and a pair of bright eyes suddenly looked at the ground, and his eyes were shocked.

She pointed to the black ash on the ground, which seemed to be left behind by something burning, and said in a deep voice, "This is the ash left behind after my spell Zhengyang amulet was broken. They may have been attacked by demons and separated from us! ”

"So, is this staircase really a thirty-six-story staircase loop? We didn't meet them just now, is it because they have disappeared from here? Ye Yang said in a low voice.

Lu Xiaoxi nodded intently.

Ye Yang's eyes looked at the eye-catching blood-colored mural on the wall, and suddenly recalled a distant memory.

He suddenly exclaimed, "Senior sister, I know what all this is all about?" It turns out that we have been in the soul ladder all along! ”
