After confirming that Yu Xia already knew the true hiding place of the city lord, Thirty-Five took me to a warehouse. The warehouse is divided into levels 1 to 18 and is used to store "food". The further down you go, the higher the level of "food" you have in stock.

From the first to the seventeenth floor, the exits connected by the suspension ladder are all pitch-black tunnels extending in four directions.

And the eighteenth floor is the hiding place of the city lord. This is a mechanism dungeon, and its mechanism technique is similar to the previous Yin Yang Insect Poison Stone Slab and Fireworks Crypt, in order to distinguish it from the only existing Mi family mechanism in my concept, it is called the insect mechanism by me.

The insect mechanism that appeared at first, Thirty-Five knew it very well. But then, some kind of defense mechanism appeared, which had not been activated for many years. In the world of the mechanism, there are mirrors on all sides, which can confuse people. When the lens is shattered, it will automatically reassemble, connecting the filaments between the fragments, and they are as sharp as a knife.

And in the fragmented mirror, there are actually two trap puppets that are exactly the same as Jingye and Yu Xia!

But what surprised me the most was that I actually ......

Turn back the clock.

"What are you talking about, I don't understand!" Thirty-five, who was acted on by some mysterious force, has completely forgotten our previous dialogue.

But I remember it clearly.

Why is this happening? Because you indirectly ate the flesh of that snake?

I was curious, and I wanted to test the mysterious power again. However, there is a feeling that I don't know where to start. I don't know how I'm using that power, how I'm going to do it, how I'm going to do it. Or I don't know if the "time turnback" of the 35th year has anything to do with me.

I was in doubt, and even affected the situation of the battle at the moment. But fortunately, as I said before, the power contained in Thirty-Five's body is quite abundant, and if he intensifies his efforts to release the reality clone, the mechanism will return to attack and confront with the same intensity, and in the case that each cannot destroy the other, it will become a war of attrition.

In the end, Thirty-Five exhausted the last piece of broken mirror, and the scene in front of him completely collapsed. Everything is back to the way it was.

The round door is still in front of us, and it has been opened.

"From the very beginning, you were in a trance, because of those two dummies?" Thirty-five is concerned about my situation at the moment.

And I did just come back to my senses, staring at him, trying to remember how I felt at the moment of "going back in time", but still to nothing.

In the end, it is also worth reluctantly responding: "It may be that there is something wrong with the recent experience, and I have some kind of delusion." ”

"Then you'd better adjust as soon as possible."

After saying that, he didn't pay attention to me, but he didn't enter the round door immediately, but walked to the wreckage of "Silent Night" and "Yu Xia", with some doubts in his eyes, "Why is this happening?" ”

Although I don't know if Thirty-Five is proficient in the mechanics, I have been trapped in the mechanics for hundreds of years and use my own energy to supply the mechanisms to operate, so I should have some understanding of the composition of the mechanisms. Although there are only some mechanical scraps in front of them, the complexity can still be seen.

So at this moment, Thirty-Five probably has the same doubts as me.

Why are there two puppets that are so realistic, corresponding to summer and silent night?

It stands to reason that Yu Xia and Jingye should enter here in less than an hour, or even less.

So, when was such an elaborate trap puppet prepared?

Years ago? Yu Xia's is okay to say, after all, she used to have a special identity. But the puppets of the silent night don't seem to be there. Even if she appeared in the city lord's perspective, it should have happened recently.

And if you think about it carefully, in fact, even Yu Xia's puppet shouldn't appear.

Because these two puppets are not only similar to Jing Ye and Yu Xia's foreign trade, but even Jing Ye's alienation and Yu Xia's social heating can be imitated! And it's quite realistic.

The city lord, or some of his subordinates who are proficient in mechanical arts, also know about Yu Xia's snake humanization?

I crouched down and picked up some small parts from the scrap of the machine.

"You know how to do tricks?" Thirty-five has sharp intuition.

"Well, by chance, I learned a little."

"So these two puppets should be difficult to complete, right?"

I nodded, "That's true, but ...... Not necessarily. ”

"Oh?"

"Don't 'oh', just say not necessarily, and don't say why. The trick I'm proficient in is just the Mi family's mechanism. In this world, the mechanism I see is completely different. If the Mijia organ can't do it, it may not be possible to do it here. Actually, to be honest, I'm quite curious about this. ”

"But now is not the time."

I got up and gathered the parts on my body, "Well, we need to find the lord first." Now that the replicants of Yu Xia and Silent Night have appeared here, the city lord should know more or less about their appearance. If the city lord hadn't been killed now, they might have been in trouble by staying in the night. ”

So, I walked through that door with Thirty-Five.

Inside the door is a suspended staircase, which should be made of the same stone slab we stepped on when we entered the warehouse dungeon. But as for the reason for its levitation, I don't know yet.

Those stone slabs are all over the space, and the space that wraps these stone slabs is pitch black, like an endless universe.

"Awesome. It looks quite complicated here, and the usual labyrinth is a flat structure. No matter how difficult it is, it is a two-dimensional world to find a way. But here, up and down, left and right, as far as the eye can see, are all part of the maze, and I don't know how many cups of difficulty have been added. I looked around and asked Thirty-Five, "So, is this something you've walked through in the past, or is it new?" ”

"I've been here before, and I know how to get through this maze of mechanisms, but ......," Thirty-Five hesitated, "but I don't know if anything will suddenly change this time, just like before." ”

As a king worm, although I have killed it once, it is currently threatened by purebred snake people. But this can only be said that it is thirty-five's bad luck. In fact, he was not a timid man. Even if there might be some differences in the organs, he shouldn't be so nervous.

Unless......

"Is there a big penalty for making a mistake?"

"Hmm......" He nodded silently, then took a step forward, half-probed into the dark space of nothingness, and looked down again, "This is low, but it is an abyss from which it will never return." "Reading Temple

"How can it be recovered?"

"The cycle of life and death, have you heard of it?"

I don't understand what he means by mentioning these four words at this moment. He only gave him a puzzled look.

He went on to say to me a whole new concept, "Or rather, things must be reversed." When something is developed to the extreme, it completely departs from its original form and goes to the opposite extreme. There are monsters down there, they were the original food, they were eaten, they were about to die, but they didn't die. They had a very strange appearance, not like the original worms, which looked weak, scrawny, or simply half-skeletons, but that was just the appearance. In fact, their ability, hundreds of times higher, also includes appetite. If you fall, I can't easily deal with one of them, I don't know how you are. ”

I probably understand the meaning of thirty-five.

To put it simply, the following is another form of alienation produced by parasites that have been eaten for a long time, and the ability is quite outstanding.

"It can't be easily dealt with, but it can still be dealt with. But you said 'one', that is, there is more than one down there? ”

Thirty-five smiled weirdly, "Then guess how many?" ”

I shook my head.

"Perhaps, than the people of this city...... Or, outside the inner city, there are more people in this world combined. ”

That's a scary number.

If so, even if I spread my wings, I won't be able to kill them all. I'm just a piece of food. Thinking of this, I looked around, "But falling from here doesn't seem to be an easy thing for you and me. ”

"Do you really think so?"

"Or else?"

He stepped out of the way and said to me, "Fourteen's tentacle can reach the farthest distance, probably the fourth stone in front, diagonally to the left, you touch it." ”

So, I did.

However, just as I touched the stone, the stone, which was originally very real, suddenly turned into a shadow of nothingness and disappeared.

"Fake?" I realized that the maze in front of me was twice as difficult as I had imagined.

"No, you touch it again."

"Again?" I was curious about the answer, so I did it right away.

But I still can't touch it. But thirty-five made me try again and again.

Finally, at a certain time! My tentacles collided with the stones! The stone that had turned into nothingness before had become extremely real at this moment! It's so strong that I pull it down and don't move! Not even some crumbling stone dust appeared.

I shot it a few more times in a row, and there was no pattern to it.

Maybe the first seven or eight times were fake, and suddenly the real one.

Or, if it's true in a row, suddenly it's false.

"Now you understand, if the law of this thing is not the law I know, the route is also outlined. Well, it's too easy for us to fall. If the lord wants to kill me here, we shouldn't be lucky. ”

He's right.

But we are like this, how do they pass through the silent night?

"Not necessarily, the previous stone pillar labyrinth has not changed much. It was only after that that something new appeared. So, let's try it first. "There are some mechanisms that can indeed be considered to be controlled, but most of them, once formed, will abide by the rules of their organs, and will only attack if they are violated. At least that's the case with the Mi family.

"How do you try?" He asked.

My hand reached for the round door frame, turned into a worm's claw, and pinched a rock hard! The rock was in my hand, shattered into stones.

"Don't you know how to get around? Tell me the route. ”

Looking at the stone in my hand, Thirty-Five probably understood what I meant, so he began to point me out.

I shot the stone at the suspended stone he was pointing to.

One, two, three......

Until I finish shooting the stone.

Up to the farthest distance, it was impossible to observe, and no accidents occurred.

This organ is a rule organ, and the possibility that it cannot be manipulated by humans in the future is added by three points. I was also anxious, worried about the situation of the night at this moment, so I jumped on the first stone that I had pointed to thirty-five before, according to my memory.

He hesitated for a moment, but finally followed, but reminded me, "Don't do that later." Some stones, the first time they move, are real, but not necessarily later. Follow my instructions. ”

With that, he pointed to the second stone, which was indeed different from the previous test.

But before we could move towards the stone, there was a sudden noise behind us! When I looked back, it was too late! The round door behind him closed suddenly! Not to give us a chance to jump back at all.

It was dark all around!

There are no borders!

Just like the sea of mirrors before!

What's even more terrifying is that the stones under our feet suddenly become nothing!
