At this time, it was already the height of the twelve floors inside the tower.

The spiral staircase above the head has no tendency to stop there.

Still an almost endless upward sprawl, with no end in sight.

It's hard to imagine what kind of scenery the top of the tallest tower will be.

Ryai led Aono into a room on this level.

It seems to be some kind of pre-metamorphosis ritual.

Unexpectedly, there were other people in this room.

Note that it's "someone else", not another creature.

In the room, there were four humans dressed differently and with different appearances

There was even one black and one white, and the other two were yellow.

But they have one thing in common.

That is

The aura emanating from their bodies is very powerful

Of course, this "powerful" is relative to ordinary human beings, and even ordinary transcendentals, not as good as some of the sacrifices around them, and not as good as Qingye.

But they are definitely the best of the transcendentals, according to the classification of the Tokyo Rangers, at least they are B-level, and even A-level powerhouses.

The strength is not bad

However, at this time, all of them looked confused, their eyes were empty, and they seemed to have lost the consciousness of self-thinking.

All that was left was an empty body.

That's why he was driven by the sacrifice, without resistance or opposition, just obeying the instructions he heard.

On the surface, Aono is no different.

But just now, when consciousness was about to sink, the characteristic calmness still played its role tenaciously.

Pull Aono's spirit back to the edge of the cliff, so that it will not fall into the same situation as these transcendents.

It has to be said that the Facelings' methods are not only extremely weird, but also very clever.

In silence, people's thoughts of rebellion can be dismantled.

And this offensive, mixed with a gentle and considerate atmosphere.

It's like even if every sentence is true, but when put together, it becomes a huge lie.

That's exactly what the Facelings are.

Their congratulations and delight were all genuine.

They are genuinely celebrating humanity as one of them, and they rejoice in it.

However, it is this harmonious attitude that slowly dissolves the hostility of the people who enter this world, and then makes people immerse themselves in it step by step, without thinking about more things.

will become the current state.

On the surface, Aono behaved like the four transcendents, and it was his disguise that worked.

But his heart is as clear as a mirror, and he sees everything clearly.

As for the origin of these transcendents, it is actually quite understandable.

Since there are entrances to this ruin all over the world, it is quite normal for transcendents from other countries and regions to try to find out.

It's just obvious that these transcendents aren't very lucky enough to fall into such a situation.

Beside the four transcendents, there was a sacrificial man with two pairs of flesh-winged wings on his back.

The most striking feature is that the lower half of his body resembles the body of an octopus.

There are several thick, slippery tentacles.

But there are no suction cups on the tentacles, just smooth pieces of meat.

This kind of smoothness will give people a grotesque and disgust that is difficult to describe in words.

Aono's side bowed his head lightly to the tentacled Facelings as a sign of respect, and then left Aono to find that the concept of hierarchy in the Facelings race was extremely strong.

The command of the superior to the subordinate seems to be absolute.

It can also be seen from the previous performance of the faceless woman kneeling down at the sacrifice.

Whether or not they grow wings made of flesh and bones, and how many wings there are, seems to be their way of judging their rank.

Aono still remembers that in the ancient mural, the leader of the primitive tribe, who had obvious female characteristics, also grew two pairs of wings behind his back after crossing the "gate".

Perhaps this is to show that she has a lot of extraordinary potential.

It was only after the transformation into a sacrifice that this became apparent.

If Aono is not mistaken.

The octopus-like sacrificial man is examining the bodies of these four transcendents.

A few of the tiniest slippery tentacles swept across the surface of the transcendent's body.

Clothing that comes into contact with the tentacles is all eroded without hindrance.

The only man with a black skin color who is being examined is now being examined.

After sweeping through the lower half, the tentacles lingered back and forth on the man's chest.

The one showed a hint of disgust.

Then, the tentacles pierced hard

A tiny wound appears on the surface of the skin, followed by other tentacles that go deeper.

It's like a worm burrowing into the flesh.

"Snort"

Make a tooth-aching sound.

Then, a small piece of metal was removed from the man's body.

It's like a chip-like thing.

I just don't know if the chip was assembled by the man on his own initiative, or if he didn't know it himself.

It's just that soon, the metal material that was taken out was not just this chip.

A large thin piece of characteristic metal sits on the man's arms.

It could be to boost your defense, or as a hidden move.

In the lower abdomen, some finely crushed alloys are removed, and it is not known what they do.

In the process, a look of pain appeared on the black man's face.

It was as if I felt a great deal of pain.

But even so, the man still hasn't returned to normal from that empty and confused state.

It is not like people who are stuck in a dream, and the pain can wake them up from the dream.

Aono thought for a moment.

The transcendent beings of the country have already had such a deep degree of mechanical transformation?

These metals are obviously equipment that has been installed the day after tomorrow, and to some extent, they can indeed enhance the combat effectiveness of the transcendent.

But now, they have shown a clear dislike for the metal creature implanted inside the human body.

The best materials are wasted like this.

It muttered, muttering to itself.

By the way, it speaks the language of the Sacrificial Ray, but Aono is surprisingly able to understand the meaning of their words.

"Click"

There was a crunch sound from the metal blocks that had been taken from the man's body.

Seeing that they didn't seem to do anything, they condensed together, and they were constantly compressed, and finally turned into a small piece of metal.

That kind of ability seems to be similar to telekinesis

The previous one had left, which meant that there was only one enemy in this room.

But Aono wasn't sure if they had the ability to communicate directly with each other.

The previous Sacrifice didn't say a word to it.

And before the Faceling sent Aono to the tower, she didn't have any verbal communication with the sacrificial one.

Thereupon.

Aono chose forbearance for the time being.

That is, the tentacles don't sweep over him.

Fortunately, that didn't happen.

In fact, it only examined the black man, and the other three only "looked" at it and ignored it.

Probably because he is the only transcendent person who has undergone body transformation.

And when "looking" at Aono.

The Tentacle Facelings even let out an exclamation.

"Oh hoo"

The tone is full of emotion, and the excitement is no less than that of a child seeing his favorite toy, and no less than the feeling that a doctor will have a hearty feeling when he finds the most appropriate and smooth surgical procedure.

It's just the right experience, it's wonderful.

It stared straight at Aono's face.

Then downward, the unscrupulous observation of Aono's body is no less bold than the rich women in the dream shop who want to "eat" Aono all day long.

Beauty is so beautiful

After the transformation, you will become a being above me

It exclaimed in their own language.

The emotions expressed are all admiration and awe.

Distinguished guests, come with me.

After the tentacle was inspected, he spoke to Aono and the others.

There seems to be a special power in the words.

Four transcendents stood up and obediently followed behind it.

The man whose metal materials had been removed turned pale and visibly weakened, but the wounds on his body that had been pierced by tentacles had been repaired by special mucus.

There is still no incapacitation.

Seeing this, Aono also followed them honestly.

The expression on his face was no different from that of other transcendents.

Even the stiff movements are exactly the same.

The effect that camouflage can achieve is at the level of an actor

Aono's performance has no flaws.

Rakai still unexpectedly turned his face in the direction of Aono, as if he felt that something was strange, but he couldn't find out what the anomaly was.

In the end, I could only take Aono and the others and move towards a higher floor.

In the process of walking upwards.

You can hear the creeping of tentacles, the sound of human footsteps on the steps, and the sound of a shallow singing from nowhere.

It's a bit like a choir in a church, it's grand and vast.

Just listening to the music sung, the soul seems to drift to another country in the sky.

There, not limited by flesh and reality.

Everyone's soul can gallop freely.

There are no obstacles.

Where your mind is, let your imagination and control be.

But.

Where is there such a good place?

Aono questioned inwardly.

Lai was silent.

The transcendents were silent.

They walked silently up the stairs, as if they would never stop.

The eyes of the transcendents became more and more hollow, and the shallow singing voices seemed to have completed the washing of their souls with the last step, and they only needed to take the last step to complete the transformation.

But among the transcendents, in addition to Aono, there is a slightly different outlier.

This is one of those who have a yellow complexion and are extraordinary.

He was dressed in a Taoist robe, and his hair was full of silver threads, but his face was extremely young, without the slightest wrinkle, and his skin was as delicate as that of a newborn baby.

There is a great possibility that it is a Chinese.

After going through the "chant" wash, his eyes slightly revealed a struggle or two.

Even if the tide quickly recedes, there has been a struggle and there has been no struggle, those are two different concepts.

Except for him, the rest of the transcendents were all unconscious, and they thought they were completely destroyed.

Suddenly.

Brother

The fluttering words sounded directly in Aono's mind.

Aono didn't squint, his face didn't change in the slightest, but he also replied in his heart.

You are

Little brother, it's me who I am.

Haha, I know you're playing dead

The mental arithmetic of the poor road has really been completed, as the so-called heaven and earth are infinite, and the Tao is impermanent, but there is nothing beyond the mental arithmetic of the poverty path.

It's like an old man, but now I'm saved.

A continuous stream of voices came.

Listening to the tone, it was quite joyful.

But these words, inexplicably, have a kind of strangeness that cannot be said, the kind that has no match, in short, it is not the same as the way normal people speak.

Coincidentally, Qingye spends more time with abnormal people than with normal people.

I'm familiar with this symptom

In Aoyama Hospital, four or five cases of similar nature can be easily found.

Old-timer, which hospital did you graduate from?

The Second Affiliated Psychiatric Hospital of Maoshan Eh

Subconsciously replied in his mind, and the Taoist priest suddenly came back to his senses.

Little brother, you actually saw through the origin of the poor road, it is not your mental arithmetic skills, and you have to be above the poor road

This is really a real person

I see that you are gifted and intelligent, why don't you worship under my door, and eat and drink spicy food together in the future

Aono can get to the bottom of it thoroughly, okay, this can't be a peer

This familiar way of communication reminded Aono of the eventful years of the past.

Not to mention, now that I think about it, I still miss it a little.

I mainly miss Xiao Zhuang, Big Flower, and the girl who has been following his ass.

But now, it's not the time to think about apprenticeship, eating and drinking spicy food.

Old-timers, you have a way to escape

Aono asked in his heart.

That's nature, the poor Taoist is called the "vacuum Taoist person", seeing that it is really true, seeing the empty is empty, and he has long been confident

However, if you have the cooperation of the little brother, the success rate will definitely be increased to 20%.

Ignore the extended meaning of the nickname "Vacuum Daoist" for the time being.

Aono gets to the point.

Raise 20% or increase to 20%.

Ascend to, of course

The Vacuum Taoist was rightly arrogant, and he was not ashamed of it at all.

Isn't twenty percent enough, they don't know what it is, but just talking, they have made those few wrestlers of the Great Perfection of the day after tomorrow delirious, and now I am afraid that they have returned to the West.

If it weren't for the old way, I would have been one in a million minds, and I am afraid that I would end up like them

Little brother, it's better to act than to be excited.

If we drag on a little longer, it's going to turn us into monsters like them.

Aono felt that this Vacuum Daoist was not reliable at all, but now it seemed that he could only act according to his plan.

"Here we are."

At this time, Xilai stopped his "footsteps" and turned to Aono and the others.

Aono has been measuring the number of floors they are in, and here, it is already the 33rd layer.

In many cultures, 33 seems to have a special meaning.

Aono raised his head and looked in front of him.

A strange "door" is there
