Following the gray and white petals, Yu Siqi and the others walked on a fairly spacious avenue. In front of them was a thick wall, which was several meters high and fell to the ground with a 'warm touch' from the priest. Stepping over the piles of rubble, Storm couldn't help but ask, "Father, have you considered working part-time in the mines?" ”

"If it's a part-time job, I used to do it a lot." Fr. Ann smiled and said, "But it's not to 'open the mountain and rubble', but to play the piano for others." ”

"Isn't it too condescending to play the piano?" Tag joked.

"As a human being, why should you rob the job of 'dynamite'?" Father Ann said mildly.

While they were casually chatting, Yu Siqi noticed that they had come to a very large building, and on top of the towering minaret, countless black smoke was swirling.

"Looks like we've found the right place," Pavadi said with a serious expression.

"The location is right, the question is how do we get in now?" Fr. Ann paused and said, "You may have noticed that the building has been surrounded by some strange substance. If you don't know the details, you may put yourself in a disadvantageous position."

Before the priest said this, Yu Siqi's mind was basically attracted by the black smoke in the air. After hearing the priest's words, he noticed that he could not continue to approach the building. No matter how hard he tried to move forward, he would be pushed back by an invisible force, as if something unseen had stopped them.

"Enchantment?" Tag stretched out his arms like a blind man touching an elephant, trying to touch something, only to be able to swing it in the air.

"It's not an enchantment," the storm unleashed several whirlwinds, and when those whirlwinds touched the air in front of them, nothing happened, as if they had been absorbed, and disappeared without a trace.

"Reddy, what do you think it is?" The girl asked, looking down.

Reddy, who was poking the air with a dry branch he had picked up somewhere, held his breath as he watched as the branch in his hand was swallowed up by the invisible like a whirlwind from the storm.

Reddy, who thought of something, didn't pay attention to the girl, but buried her head in writing a few formulas on her wooden card, and then held it up and said, "I suspect it's some kind of energy barrier, but it's also possible that it's a biological position, give me some time, I can analyze it." ”

"Got in trouble?" The petals on the ground began to slowly rise into the air, gradually condensing into a human form, and when the human form landed, Camilla, who had changed her outfit, bowed gracefully to everyone and said, "Do you need my help?" ”

"You?" Tag asked, "What am I?" Camila asked, raising an eyebrow.

"It's nothing, I said how did you change your clothes." Tag said casually.

"Why, did someone rule that I wasn't allowed to change my clothes after taking a shower?" Camilla stretched out her arms and said, her loose robes making her look a bit like a witch from a fantasy work. It would have been more like this if she had been on crutches at this moment. Yu Siqi thought.

"I think I heard you say something like 'help,' right?" The girl asked, "Do you have any good suggestions?" ”

"Good ears, is it because Langdon has been blind for too long?" After noticing that the girl's face began to change, Camila hurriedly added: "I did say that I wanted to help you, after all, if you are delayed here, is it too much of a failure?" ”

"Do it, Camilla." Father Ann motioned for her to act.

"Of course, Father." Camila took a few steps up and stood where Reddy had been, holding out her hands toward the air. As her hand reached out to the invisible barrier, a faint ripple rippled in the air. Then, as if tearing open the pages of a book, Yu Siqi saw that some very inconspicuous transparent material in front of him had been rudely torn open.

When Camilla was done with all this, she was the first to walk in and said, "I didn't expect you to be blocked by just 'jellyfish', it's ironic." ”

"Jellyfish?" Father Ann looked at the translucent substance and said, "What a strange creature this is! ”

"Unraveled, I've finally discovered the identity of this thing." Reddy happily held up a wooden sign that read: "--Usually several stories tall, they are actually less than thirty centimeters in size, and if they are not nourished by water, they will become gigantic, and due to the inherently 'invisible' nature of the creature, its internal cells are often used to process invisible devices." ”

However, when Reddy realizes that everyone but the girl and himself have already entered the building, he looks at Camilla, who is standing there whistling, and then at the jelly-like substance on the ground, his expression a little annoyed.

Yu Siqi, who officially entered the interior of the building, did not have any special feeling, this was a relatively luxurious and large house with decoration. There were no terrible traps in it, and no imaginary enemies in it. Of course, the occasional 'whine' sound above his head still bothered him a little, but that's about it.

When Siqi was still admiring a very distinctive 'portrait' at the entrance, the reason why this painting caught his attention was because the person in the painting looked very similar to Langdon next to him. The others were already gathering in front of a statue that wasn't too tall, and were engaged in heated discussions.

"There are three ways up, do you want to know which way to go?" Camila asked.

"Are there three, why do I have only two?" Tag asked suspiciously.

"There is another one that I have built," said the maiden, "and there are indeed three paths." ”

"Okay, then let's talk about what the three roads are, after all, there are still some of us who don't know the way." Fr. Ann said, "Take me, for example. ”

"The first one is right in front of us, and the scientific name of this statue is 'Crazy Choice'. As long as enough 'gifts' are given to it, we will be able to use its power to go directly to wherever we want to go, limited to 'anywhere' within this building, of course. Camilla touched the strange statue that could see what was carved clearly and said, "The second way is naturally a very regular staircase climb, there are about 7,691 stairs, and you can naturally see Karabu after all the climbing, provided you don't fall down." ”

"Why did you fall?" Tag asked, "I remember that the staircase should have its own gravity protection, I designed it myself." ”

"Did you ever think that Karab might turn it off?" Camilla provoked Tag with good intentions, and the two of them began to fight each other in secret.

"The last one, and the new road I built." The girl pointed to the corridor to her right and said, "There is a large lifting platform ahead, and it is worth mentioning that that the lifting platform has a very special name, called - The Path of the Wise. ”

"Ah, that sounds like a good fit for us." Fr. Ann smiled and said, "Come on, I've decided to let us go that way." ”

"Wait, Priest, the first two roads are much better than the long detours over there, aren't they?" Camila objected.

"I don't want to agree with Camilla, but this time I seem to have to listen to her." Storm spoke his heart.

"It's a good thing that there are more choices than you think. However, since the other party has lost his mind, then our side must not give up thinking. Pavadi said calmly, "I would like to see the so-called 'path of the wise'." ”
