The suspended platform went all the way down, and the smell in the air gradually changed from fishy to sweet.

Thirty-five swallowed saliva, and so did I.

"Why, you say, in this world, we have a hard time controlling our appetite." I suddenly thought of this question and asked it casually.

Thirty-five shook his head, "I don't know, I've thought about it for a long time." But I can't give myself an answer. There may be an answer, but as the snake said, hidden within the walls. ”

"How many times have you been here?" I asked again.

"Many times, how?" He saw that I had a doubt.

"The entrance you just entered, and the floating platform, are all subtle mechanisms...... But it's not a Mi family organ. ”

"Yes, I've been in this world for decades, and I've seen a lot of mechanisms. Although I don't know about the Mi family's mechanism, I've been trapped by that damn thing for hundreds of years. I can also realize that there are indeed some differences. ”

"Haven't you ever wondered where these things came from?"

"How? This doesn't seem strange, I don't know how long this world has appeared, and among the insect venom parasites, there may be people who are proficient in the tricks, and it's a completely different faction from the Mi family's tricks. ”

"You're right...... However, you didn't notice that these tricks were just different from the Mi family. And on the whole, they are all the same style. Let's put it this way, this world is unique. Is the one who created these tricks the same one who created the world? ”

Thirty-five did not respond.

And at this time, the suspended stone slab suddenly shook.

Thirty-five's expression also suddenly became strange, as if in this position, there should not be such a shake.

"What's going on?" I frowned, feeling something was wrong in my heart.

Eventually, the suspended stone slab stopped, and we stopped at a position where we couldn't go up or down, and the four passages above were visible, as was the one below. But because of the thick spacer, we can't get into it up and down.

"I don't know. Maybe it's in disrepair and out of order. Thirty-five responded.

Then, he looked up and down the two gaps for a while, got up and said to me, "There are eighteen floors here, the sixteenth floor above, the seventeenth floor below, and the last floor is where the city lord is hiding. I just don't know why it's stuck here. ”

"There's only one way to get here?" I asked again.

"Hmm...... Straight up and straight down, nowhere else. ”

"So people who come in here every day are either to get meat or to throw corpses."

"Yes. And it's heavily guarded, fresh-faced, and hard to enter. Unless, like you, follow me. ”

"It's heavily guarded, although it's troublesome to sneak in. But if you go straight up, that is, once they enter early, they must have reached the eighteenth layer at this moment. ”

At the mention of this, Thirty-Five's expression was gloomy again, but he forcibly comforted himself: "But fortunately, there are also mechanisms on the eighteenth floor." It will take a certain amount of time to really find the castle lord. It's just that I'm not sure if the woman you're talking about even knows about that agency. ”

I shook my head, "I don't know about that." But isn't there another thing you should care about more? ”

"What's the matter?"

"Isn't there something like an alarm here? I mean, since the last layer has a trap to confuse the opponent, it's meant to protect the lord himself, or hide something. So in other words, even if there is a danger, the castle lord can predict it in advance, and he has a considerable amount of time to carry out some operations. And the top of the passage is tightly handled, and there is only one road, so even if something happens, as long as the signal can be sent from below, and the guards above can come down in time, or just control the suspended stone and not go down, then the people who enter here should have no chance to escape, right? ”

Thirty-five nodded, "It's true that it can send a signal, but it seems that the wind is calm up there." Didn't they come? ”

"No, I think it's more likely. It's just that woman, it seems that I don't know as much as I imagined......"

Speaking of which, my mind began to recall Yu Xia again.

I began to ask again, why she had just returned to this world, she was in a hurry to return to the city for the first time, and planned to assassinate the city lord for the first time. She does have a strong hatred, but after decades of being by the side of the purebred snake man, all she has received is endless depression?

"What the hell is she doing here?"

Click!

At this time, the mechanism was activated again.

We continued down, through seventeen floors, and finally into the eighteenth.

The stone slab under his feet fell to the ground, but the surroundings were empty, completely different from the scene of the first seventeen floors.

"Here, for now, only the city lord and I can enter. The rest of the people are not qualified and incapable. Once you enter here, the only end is to be reduced to a reserve grain in one of the eighteen layers. ”

"So where is the city lord? Or rather, by this position, he already knew about our arrival, right? I asked.

"Yes, he knew it back on the fifteenth floor."

"Fifteen floors ......" I pondered the number, and recalled the location where the spiral had just stopped.

By this time, Thirty-Five had already moved in a certain direction of the empty space.

I followed and asked, "It's full of traps?" ”

Thirty-five nodded. Love Literature Network

"Where's the city lord?"

"You'll see you later." With that, he suddenly stopped again. But the moment he stopped, the surroundings began to vibrate, and stone pillars with square edges and corners rose from the ground. Each pillar looks the same distance, occupancy, and size.

There are some carved lines on the stone pillars, but these lines are different from the mechanisms I opened a few times before, they are not trap locks, but they are not meaningless.

"These pillars are the first line of defense, but they are actually labyrinths, they look the same, but they are not the same. Walking in it, if you don't recognize the difference between the patterns between the stone pillars, you can turn it around for decades. ”

I nodded, and thirty-five began to lead the way for me.

It seems to be circling in place, but the lines on the surrounding stone pillars are visible to the naked eye to change into different patterns.

It took about half an hour, and the stone pillars in front of me became sparse. A wall appeared not far in front of me, and a round door in the center, which seemed to be surrounded by something like a mirror, circled around it, and from which we could see the faces of both of us.

I thought it was a strange design, so I asked, "Why a circle of mirrors?" ”

But when the question was raised, I noticed one thing, thirty-five at the moment, and his expression was a little strange.

"What's wrong with you?" I'll ask again.

"I've been here many times, but ...... before," he stepped forward slowly, cautiously, looking at the ring in a daze, "there was no such thing before, this ...... What is it? ”

He reached out to touch, but just as he was about to touch, he quickly withdrew his hand.

At the same time, centered on the mirror ring, the mirror-like thing spread rapidly in all directions! The two of us instinctively retreated, but the speed of retreat was not as fast as the spread of this mirror!

They quickly blocked our path.

The huge space that was originally full of stone pillars had completely disappeared at this moment, replaced by mirrors behind him.

When we step forward, we can only see countless of ourselves in the mirror.

"What the hell is this?" Thirty-five's expression was very wrong.

I asked, "You haven't seen this?" ”

He shook his head, "Never seen one...... No, or rather, it's that I don't know that much about myself. It's just that I know that part of it is in the hands of that person. ”

"City Lord?"

He nodded.

"So he started these levels."

"I don't know, the previous stone pillar is considered an automatic defense. But I've walked through this mechanism many times, but I've never seen it. ”

"That's right. If after the fifteenth floor, he can determine who is here, then this organ is aimed at you and me. ”

"Could it be that he has already been killed?" Thinking of this, a trace of cold sweat flowed from Thirty-Five's forehead.

"It's not that easy to get killed. If I'm not wrong about Natsu's guess. ”

"What speculation?"

"She's probably not just here to kill the city lord." In fact, this speculation was just generated a few minutes ago.

"Why do you say that?"

"I don't know, I just think that killing him here is too difficult and the success rate is very low. Far below my initial judgment. I don't think Yu Xia would do such a thing. Also, after this mechanism is activated, it will leave some marks, and before the stone pillar appeared, I saw a depression in the sand all around, and although I didn't know what would appear, I could think that there was something in it. But here...... It shouldn't have been used for a long time, at least not even a trace of it. It should be the first use in a while. So, at least Yu Xia didn't come here. ”

"You're saying we're on the wrong track?"

"It's more troublesome than that. If Yu Xia was not discovered, it means that when she was on the fifteenth floor, she made some changes. And now it's just you and me who are here. In other words, the other party has started a trap attack against you and me. Now, it seems, you are no longer the trusted person of the city lord. ”

"No...... The problem is you. ”

I spread my hands, "Maybe, but at least, we're together now." ”

"You're such a broom star."

"It's fine, and it's not necessarily a bad thing."

"I'm too lazy to play assertive with you here!" He turned and walked to the mirror wall in front of him, and outside, on the side of his head, a second face gradually appeared, which split and crawled out of his body, and then reached out to touch the glass under the control of Thirty-Five.

However, at the moment of touching, the originally flat mirror wall suddenly spread back endlessly, and the wall became a small mirror, life-size-size. The space is also rapidly enlarged, and those life-size mirrors are all over the space. In an instant, I and the thirty-five images appeared everywhere we could see.

"It looks like another labyrinth." Thirty-five to make a judgment.

I originally agreed, but just as I was about to say something, in the afterglow, I suddenly saw two pictures that were different from me and Thirty-five's face!

They are in the world between the mirrors!

That's, Silent Night and Yu Xia?!
