When she opened her eyes again, Star Swirl was sitting in a car parked on the side of the road, thunder and torrential rain pouring out of her window.

The driver, a middle-aged man in his early forties, could not see his features clearly in the dim light, and he was staring intently at the waterfall-like rain-washed windshield, looking up at the classical-style building in front of him, the marble façade flashing with the words "Heavenly Tower".

"Passengers, you've arrived at your destination." His voice was low and a little hoarse, and he never looked back at her as he spoke.

Star Swirl pulls the car door and puts her feet on the ground for a split second when she suddenly realizes that her body has changed.

The glass door of the building reflected her appearance at this moment, it was twenty-year-old Li Xingxuan. An elegant light-colored dress, tied with a ribbon around the waist, and the slender waist is not full of grips.

And that delicate face is not powdered, and a pair of smiling eyes reveal a little innocence, just like when she was a child, like the purest obsidian.

She couldn't help but reach out and touch her face, although the touch was real, but at this moment she clearly knew that she was in a dream, and she could only sigh: "It's so good in a dream." ”

At first glance, it looks like a condensed version of the Empire State Building in New York, like a dagger splitting the intersection of two main roads, and it is a landmark building in K City.

On the first floor of the building is a large shopping mall, where several girls are walking out of the glass revolving door with shopping bags, all wearing short skirts and high heels.

Star Swirl glanced up at the sky, and the light illuminated the fine raindrops. Anyway, let's enter the building first, and then make plans.

Passing through the glass revolving door, the hall is filled with people and fills with a festive atmosphere, and the gloom of a thunderstorm outside seems to be two worlds.

The only impression she has of this place is the time when she went to the theater on the thirteenth floor with Mr. X to watch "The Pianist at Sea". So, she walked straight into the elevator and pressed the button to the thirteenth floor.

The sightseeing elevator rises rapidly, and you can enjoy the view from the downstairs of the building through the windows. Night was slowly falling, and she imagined the brightly lit world she would soon see.

Suddenly, she heard a screeching thud.

On the glass in front of him, there was a small pool of bright blood, and a few black feathers, which were blown away by the wind and rain in a blink of an eye. The waterfall-like rain quickly diluted and washed away the blood.

The sharp collision sound, like a needle piercing into her heart, made her tremble, and she couldn't help but imagine the scene just now: a bird like a sparrow, in the evening when thunder and lightning combined with torrential rain poured, suddenly and violently hit the outer glass of the rising building's sightseeing elevator!

The elevator floor indicator was gradually approaching the thirteenth floor, and a dark cloud hung over her, it was an uneasy feeling.

The elevator shook slightly, her heart jumped wildly, and she subconsciously grabbed the elevator handrail. In less than two seconds, the elevator shook a second time, and the other passengers inside finally screamed.

The elevator lights flickered rapidly, and the entire mall was lit and dimmed. At this moment, the elevator descended rapidly, and the inertia caused everyone inside to be in a state of weightlessness.

Although Star Swirl knew she was in a dream, she panicked at the weightlessness she felt. The elevator had fallen on an unknown number of floors, and it even seemed to her that it was more than thirteen floors high, but it was still falling.

Screams and wails fill her ears, and Star Swirl silently closes her eyes, is this the elevator to hell?

As the discomfort subsided, silence returned, and Star Swirl opened her eyes again.

There are a few tiny cracks in the white ceiling, which is...? She was shocked in her heart, and found that she had actually returned to Han Dongzhi's apartment, and the dream was over!

"Teacher Bai!" Star Swirl looked around, and Bai Xiaohan and Lu Jingfan were nowhere to be seen in the room, and even Han Dongzhi and Mr. X, who had fallen into a coma, had all disappeared.

Something seemed to be going on here as she entered the dream. Where did they all go? Could it be that he had already gotten a clue from the dream and went to the corresponding place in reality - the Heavenly Ladder Building!

Without much thought, Star Swirl sped out of the apartment and flagged down a taxi on the side of the road, "Go to the Sky Ladder Mansion!" ”

Outside the window was the night, the boundless night, the moon was not visible, even the figures of the stars were hidden, there were a few muffled thunders in the clouds, and it was about to rain.

Star Swirl pulls out her phone and dials Mr. X's number over and over again, but never gets through, and a sense of foreboding sprouts in her heart.

"Passengers, your destination has arrived, please take your belongings and get off the bus." The voice prompt on the taxi sounded, but the driver was silent.

Star Swirl quickly opened the car door, and it was already raining outside. The rain fell on her, and the coolness seemed to penetrate her skin and penetrate her bone marrow.

His gaze lingered on the glass revolving door for a moment, and the diminutive figure was still reflected on it. She entered the elevator with firm steps, but her heart was uneasy.

There was no scene in the dream, the elevator rose smoothly and stopped on the thirteenth floor. There seemed to be some terrifying film being shown in the theater, and the screams of the audience were faintly coming from inside.

There wasn't even a ticket inspector at the door. Star Swirl walked into the theater suspiciously.

On the screen, the crescent moon hangs like a hook in the yellow sand sky, the moonlight illuminates a lonely cactus, and there is an abandoned wooden church. There was not a single light in the closed doors and windows, and there was desolation all around, except for the sound of wolves howling.

A heroine with brilliant blond hair pushed open the door of the church, and the hall in the darkness was filled with the smell of blood, and the soles of her feet were disgustingly slippery. Out of nowhere, a glimmer of light illuminated a row of ancient green staircases.

The heroine walked up cautiously, and the stairs made a sound that they were about to break and fall at any moment. The light swept across the white walls, filled with shocking blood. It wasn't a pool of blood, but a red color that covered almost the entire wall, gradually flowing all over the staircase.

In the theater, five or six pairs of young men and women screamed in fear from time to time, except for one person, who sat quietly in the last row, with no companions around him, only popcorn and soda.

"Han Dongzhi!" Star Swirl couldn't help but call out his name, only to see the man bounce off his seat as if he were electrocuted, and sped towards the safe exit on the other side.

Why would he be here to watch a movie at a leisurely pace? And why run away from her like a desperate run? Countless questions swirled in Star Swirl's mind, and she ran after the figure in front of her.

Han Dongzhi's figure disappeared at the elevator door on the thirteenth floor, looking up at the rising sightseeing elevator, which seemed to be approaching the roof.
