System: You found the quest "Upside Down Tower Level 2".

When Ruan Chi stood firm again, the first thing that refreshed in front of him was still the information of the system. He didn't forget Jì Shenlan's command, and found her as soon as possible and followed her.

Deep Blue moved forward for a distance but stopped, and a hint of discoloration flashed in her eyes.

"What's wrong, big sister?"

Ruan Chi found that Deep Blue's expression was a little strange, so he stopped to look at the surrounding environment, and found that this was a very huge ice palace, with a crystal floor, and a tall city wall that looked very solemn.

It's just that this ice palace does seem to reveal a trace of weirdness, and there is a long and winding ice staircase under its feet, which stretches upwards in a spiral in vain, and there is no end in sight.

"It seems that the temporal disorder in the tower is more severe than I expected, host, you should be careful next." Deep Blue said suddenly.

"Is there any danger? No, there was nothing wrong with the first layer just now? Ruan Chi was a little puzzled.

"That's because the space-time disorder phenomenon in the first layer is not strict, but this place ......" Deep Blue said with a somewhat solemn expression: "I feel that the space-time elements that are very unstable dìng are flowing. ”

Ruan Chi didn't understand this, shrugged his shoulders and said, "Don't worry so much, hurry up and take me to find the key, didn't you say that if you want to enter the third layer, you must find the key on the second floor?" ”

Speaking of this, Ruan Chi helped his forehead with great incomprehension, "Then again, why does only the third floor need a key?" ”

"It's not just the third floor that needs a key, every floor down has to find the key on the upper floor, and more. The so-called "key" is not a key in the concept. Rather, it is a key substance that opens the way to the next layer. It has no fixed form, it is likely to be an object, and it is likely to be an untouchable energy body. ”

Hearing Shen Lan's words, Ruan Chi suddenly had a feeling of being big, sure enough, this upside-down tower was not as easy as he imagined, and it became very difficult just to enter the next layer.

Walking up the spiraling ice staircase, Ruan Chi quickly discovered another problem. Even the walls on either side of the staircase feel asymmetrical.

The wall on the left is slightly lower than the wall on the right, and the wall on the right is slightly higher than the wall on the left.

Although there was no reference, Ruan Chi tried to stick his head out of the city wall and glance at it, only to suddenly feel a sense of dizziness that was almost out of balance.

Such a strange situation, Rao is very bold and he also felt surprised, at this time, the deep blue who was walking in front and was responsible for leading the way floated at the right time.

"That's the shattered void space left by the master's battle with the subgods, because the relationship between time and space is out of order, it will affect the host's brain's judgment of direction. So it's better not to look around. ”

"No wonder it's so scary." Ruan Chi patted his chest and stopped looking down at the moment. Instead, he held his head up and followed closely behind the dark blue.

Along the ice stairs, the two of them advanced a distance of about a few hundred meters, but the stairs in front of them went down in vain at this time, at first Ruan Chi didn't think there was anything wrong with this, just took two steps, he casually glanced back, and found a creepy scene.

"Hey...... Sister, you ...... Do you see that? We're behind. ”

Ruan Chi pointed behind him, only to see the backs of two people on the ice stairs they had just walked on, and these two backs were Shen Lan himself and ...... Himself.

As if looking at the opposite side of a mirror, the images of the two appeared behind them, and what was even more strange was that the two images seemed to have a will of their own, and were walking with their backs to them, and going farther and farther.

Just when Ruan Chi was frightened, Deep Blue finally explained: "That's the feedback image of us in the past space-time sequence, don't make a fuss. ”

"Huh? What do you mean? ”

"I think I've said that before, right? Time and space are like two interlaced axes, and in different time periods, different spaces will be generated, which is the so-called space-time sequence. Because of the relationship between the upside-down tower and the phenomenon of space-time disorder, the space-time sequence will become very chaotic, and it is not a special thing for us to see ourselves in other space-time sequences. ”

"You're saying that, but I think I should understand." Ruan Chi said with a black line on his face.

I remember the first time I opened the Hero Graveyard to enter the Hero Dungeon, Deep Blue seemed to have said the concept of space-time sequence, and the principle of the operation of the Hero Dungeon was also related to this.

But it's one thing to understand, but it's another thing to see oneself in another space-time sequence with one's own eyes, and everyone always has a feeling of hair when they look at the "other self" that is getting farther and farther away from themselves.

The spiraling ice staircase began to rotate downward, and the walls on both sides became uneven, and the occasional glimpse of cracks and moss on it indicated that it had gone through a long time.

"Huh? Changed again? ”

As he walked, Ruan Chi found that the stairs that had been rotating down had somehow begun to turn upwards again, but because similar phenomena had happened before, he didn't think so.

I don't know how long this staircase is, Shen Lan led the way in front without saying a word, and Ruan Chi followed closely behind without saying a word, and with the constantly changing scenery on both sides, he found that this place was like a bottomless labyrinth.

The "self" of the various space-time sequences floating up and down, left and right from time to time, it feels as if he has lost his way, in a dreamy labyrinth, if it weren't for the dark blue to lead the way, he alone would probably be lost in it, and he would not have to leave.

I don't know how long it took, but after going down like this, going up, going left, and right, dozens of times, the seemingly endless ice staircase finally changed, and they came to a huge platform.

This platform is actually a broken building, because the top of the building has been cut in half by an unknown force, so it looks like a platform suspended in the dark void.

Walking through the top of the building without ceilings, Ruan Chi once again saw himself in another space-time sequence, only to see that in the depths of the pitch-black void, a platform hanging upside down in the air appeared above his head, including himself and the dark blue figure inside.

Ruan Chi didn't dare to look at such a strange scene, hurriedly retracted his gaze, and then Chong Shenlan asked, "Where is the key you said?" How can you not see? ”

"Right here?" Deep Blue lifted a green onion finger and pointed to a corner of the platform.

Ruan Chi looked in the direction she was pointing, and it turned out that he saw a crystal ice sculpture with a whole body.

This ice sculpture is fully twenty meters tall, and it is difficult to see the head just by looking at the neck, but what makes Ruan Chi feel speechless the most is that the appearance of this figure is clearly the shell of the giant god that he encountered during the first layer of strength test.

There are no facial features except for the mouth, the only difference is that there are a pair of obvious protrusions on the chest of the ice sculpture figure in front of you, which should be considered a female sexual character, right?

From this point, Ruan Chi can barely identify it as a "woman".

"Could it be that the legendary ancient giant gods all look like this?"

In fact, Ruan Chi wanted to ask this question a long time ago, but now when he sees this ice sculpture figure, a positive answer faintly emerges in his heart.

Sure enough, even Deep Blue nodded at this time, "That's right, our master, most of the ancient giant gods are like this, and the shell of the giant god in the strength test is actually an entity embodied by the customer service 002 (light ball) through the guò system simulation method, although there is no soul, but the appearance is indeed a reference to them." ”

"Your master really looks ugly, no wonder he was treated as a demon by those sub-gods back then, and he was a villain at all."

Looking at the ice sculpture of the female giant god in front of him, Ruan Chi couldn't help but be a little disappointed, this was completely different from the image of the giant god he imagined.

In imagination, the so-called giant god should at least be as powerful as the giant spirit god who guards the gate of heaven in Eastern mythology, holding up the heavy Xuanhua plate axe, just like a phoenix wearing flowers, extremely dexterous, where is like the ice sculpture in front of him, it is simply rude.

Deep Blue obviously didn't have any concept of stinky beauty, and when he heard Ruan Chi's appearance in front of him, he didn't show any resistance or disgust.

Ruan Chi walked in front of the ice sculpture figure, stretched out his hand and put it on it, feeling a penetrating cold air coming from above, he pointed to the ice sculpture and asked, "You said that the key is inside, so do you need me to break it?" ”

Originally, I thought that Deep Blue would nod next, but I didn't expect her to say: "The entrance to the third layer is actually bound to the key, and the host wants to enter the third layer, so you must not destroy it." ”

Ruan Chi had an urge to die, and said with his forehead raised: "Dizzy, how can I get the key?" ”

Deep Blue said: "The key to this layer is not physical, the host only needs to defeat the guardian elves on the second level to get the key to the third layer. ”

Ruan Chi said: "In the end, you want to fight the boss? ”

As soon as they finished speaking, there was a slight vibration from the platform beneath their feet, which was almost imperceptible, but they soon noticed that at the same time as the vibration was emitted, a halo suddenly rose behind the ice sculpture figure that had not seemed to have changed at all.

The aura was as colorful as glass, and when it appeared, it hovered over the head of the ice statue of the female giant god and slowly rotated, as if some kind of mechanism had been activated.

"What's next?" Ruan Chi asked a little dazedly.

"Here they are."

"Coming? Is it a boss? ”

Deep Blue's words made Ruan Chi even more dazed, and he didn't notice that Deep Blue was talking about them, not it.

"Whoosh"

A strange sound similar to the sound of the wind came from the colorful aura above his head, and dozens of white shadows flew out, and they surrounded Ruan Chi and Deep Blue at an extremely fast speed.

"That's the contract spirit that the master used to guard the entrance to the third floor." Deep Blue said. (To be continued......)
