Although Jiang Muli doubted the connection between the sixth layer and the Disc Immortal, he knew too few clues now, and he was not the kind of person with a particularly bright mind, so he didn't come up with a reason.

But Jiang Muli didn't act rashly, she felt that it was better to be cautious. In case there is really anything to say about these 11 steps, the two of them rush forward, in case something unexpected happens, it will be a failure.

Thinking so, Jiang Muli began to carefully investigate the 11 stairs that the two walked to see if they could find any clues. After all, it has been so long and there is no danger, so it can be proved that this section of stairs must be safe.

"Are you overly nervous? Actually, there is no need to be so cautious. Maybe...... Well...... Maybe there are only 11 steps on this staircase because there were not enough materials during the construction at that time? Or is it that the original floor was not designed to be so high, so there is one less staircase? In fact, it's just a staircase, so there's no need to be suspicious. ”

Wang Lin followed Jiang Muli when she was looking for clues, but in the end, she only saw Jiang Muli repeatedly comparing and checking in advance in the building she was walking through, and she didn't find anything unusual no matter how she looked.

"I also hope that I am overstrained, but now, in my opinion, my caution is not unreasonable." Jiang Muli squatted in front of the steps and looked at it for a while, and finally stood up and said to Wang Lin.

"Oh? Listening to your tone, did you find anything? Wang Lin saw Jiang Muli say this, so he asked.

"Well, I can basically conclude that there should be 12 stairs on this floor at the beginning. Later, however, this section of staircase was remodeled. It was changed to level 11. Jiang Muli said confidently.

"How do you know?" Wang Lin couldn't help but be a little curious when she saw Jiang Muli say this sentence so surely. After all, no matter how you look at it, you can't see that this staircase has traces of being transformed.

"You can't see it when you look down from above. Come on, you crouch down and look from the side. Jiang Muli said as he squatted down.

Wang Lin also squatted down according to Jiang Muli's appearance. At this time, the flashlight in Jiang Muli's hand happened to shine on the side of the stairs, and Wang Lin could just see the side of the stairs by the light of the flashlight.

"You see, on the side of this staircase, the color of a small section of the upper floor is not a little different from the color of most of the lower floor." Jiang Muli pointed to the location of the stairs.

Wang Lin looked in the direction of Jiang Muli's finger and found that sure enough, as Jiang Muli said, there was a very obvious trace on the side of each staircase, dividing the staircase into two parts.

"You see, the color of the lower part is still relatively light, and the color of the upper part is a little darker, so it seems that the lower part of the staircase must have taken a long time, and the upper part should look like it should have been freshly wiped up, and it has not been wiped a few times."

Wang Lin nodded. Speaking of this, Jiang Muli got up and walked down. Wang Lin also followed, until he reached the position of the fifth floor, Jiang Muli stopped again and squatted down.

"Look at it again, here, the first staircase of five to five and a half stories, the newly plastered part of it is less than the thickness of a finger. But as you get in height, you will find that the thickness increases step by step until you reach the very top. Jiang Muli also said as he walked upstairs like this, until he stopped at the platform on the fifth and a half floors, and pointed to the last flight of stairs with his finger.

"The old part of this staircase is completely visible, indicating that the entire level was wiped later. And the height of the entire staircase must be 20 centimeters. ”

"Oh, it looks like so. But what does this mean? Wang Lin asked puzzled, not hearing what Jiang Muli meant at all.

"Let me ask you, when you were going upstairs just now, did you feel that the stairs under your feet suddenly became higher?" Jiang Muli stood up and asked.

"No, I don't care at all." Wang Lin replied.

"Yes, if I hadn't looked at the side of the staircase, I wouldn't have felt like the difference in height of the staircase had grown. And the reason why we don't have this feeling is because the height of each step here is actually increasing step by step, but because the increase is very uniform and very small, so if you walk normally, the height of each staircase is still the same, and it is difficult to detect anything abnormal. That's what I came to when I measured each step. Jiang Muli said as he opened the "ruler" app on his phone.

“so？” Wang Lin still didn't understand.

"Let's put it this way, even if you were going to change the staircase from 12 to 11, if you were a bricklayer doing the job, would you really deliberately measure the height of each step and fill it with cement? And the design is not bad at all? I don't think a normal bricklayer would do that, unless he's the kind of bricklayer with mental illness, like obsessive-compulsive disorder? ”

"Well, you have a point. So it seems that someone did it on purpose? But what is the purpose of this man? Why do you have to turn a good 12-step staircase into an 11-step staircase? At this time, Wang Lin finally understood the meaning of Jiang Muli's words, and also raised his own questions.

"Well, that's what I didn't figure out." Jiang Muli shook his head and said with a sigh. This is also something she can't do, after all, she doesn't understand what ghosts and gods say, and she is a complete layman. It is not easy to reason to this point based on the existing scenario.

"What then? Shall we go up now? Or don't you go up? Wang Lin asked.

"I think we'd better wait, let's go back to the fifth floor first, and I'll ask someone to see if he knows what the 11 stairs say." Jiang Muli also had no idea at this time, and at this time remembered "Roland". Jiang Muli knew that he had completed the tasks of the crazy game more than once, and his experience should be more experienced than his own, maybe he would know what the 11 stairs represented.

"Wait!"

Just when Jiang Muli and the others decided to go downstairs and just turned around, a voice suddenly appeared. The voice came from behind the two of them, in the direction of the 6th floor.

The moment he heard the voice, Jiang Muli immediately turned around, touched the rune paper he picked up from the art classroom with his left hand, and shone his right hand at the upstairs location with a flashlight. And Wang Lin screamed, and was about to run downstairs in a blink of an eye.

"Don't panic Wang Lin, don't run yet!" Jiang Muli was also quick at this time, and when he saw that Wang Lin was about to run down, he quickly pulled out his left hand and grabbed it.

was dragged by Jiang Muli like this, and Wang Lin's momentum was also half unloaded. Although she still broke free of Jiang Muli's left hand, she stopped without taking two steps. At this time, she also regained some sense and did not continue to run downstairs. Instead, he leaned against the wall and hid behind Jiang Muli.

"Who?" Seeing that Wang Lin didn't continue to run down, Jiang Muli was also relieved. She knew that if it was a trap, the separation of the two would only be broken by each one, and then the situation would be even more dangerous. Only when the two get together, the hope of survival will be greater. Jiang Muli, who stabilized the situation, also asked upstairs again at this time.

It is likely that someone here will ask, why didn't Jiang Muli run? Obviously, there shouldn't be anyone else here, so the things upstairs should be ghosts.

In fact, when that voice first appeared, Jiang Muli also wanted to run. But her reaction was very fast, and she immediately thought about it in her head, and felt that something was wrong.

"If there is a sudden sound in this kind of place, there is a chance that it should be a ghost. But it tells us to wait? No, this shouldn't be a line that a normal ghost should have! Could it be that this ghost got the wrong script? Or is it going the wrong way? I'm having auditory hallucinations? No, it's definitely not that I'm hallucinating, otherwise Wang Lin's reaction wouldn't have been so big, which means that she heard it too. It stands to reason that the ghost should have come up and killed us directly, and he shouldn't have told us to wait. Normal people who will wait for you, we will definitely run if you call us. If you think about it this way, there are only two possibilities. First, it was a trap, where the ghost deliberately screamed so that we were frightened and ran down, and then ran into their trap and caught us both together. Second, the ghost only spoke after hearing us say we couldn't go upstairs, and the purpose of speaking at this time was obviously to draw our attention to it. In this case, it should have to stay up there and not get down, otherwise it would have gone downstairs to communicate with us. So on the whole, the only way to stay here is the safest choice, and if you run downstairs, you might have an accident. ”

Jiang Muli didn't tell Wang Lin what she thought in her heart, but Wang Lin still chose to believe in Jiang Muli, she believed that Jiang Muli would not harm her.

Sure enough, after the two stood vigilantly in place for a minute, nothing happened. Seeing this, Jiang Muli confirmed his judgment even more, and after thinking about it carefully, Jiang Muli felt more and more that the second situation he thought was correct.

"It's okay Wang Lin, don't be afraid. I feel that this ghost may not have malicious intentions, otherwise he would have done it a long time ago. Since it can't hurt us now, we might be able to get some useful news out of its mouth. Jiang Muli said as he slowly walked in the direction where the voice from upstairs came.

Wang Lin heard Jiang Muli say this, although he was still a little jealous in his heart, he still followed Jiang Muli and slowly walked up the stairs.
