Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Strange Tower
Gao Qian stepped on the snow barely reaching his calf, and walked towards the strangely shaped small high-rise building, and the cold wind swept the snow flakes into his collar, and immediately turned into snow and flowed down his backbone. The shirt on his back was as cold as hard armor, and the blazer was nothing more than an autumn coat.
He hugged the computer bag tightly to his chest, which was better than nothing to block the cold wind, and the black light from the bone carving in the computer bag had been ignored by him, compared with the majestic black light he was about to walk into, the negative energy on the bone carving was simply a drop of water compared to the sea.
The bright and dark black light was right in front of you, covering the parking apron and flower beds in front of the building. The world inside the black light is no longer clear, and even if the five senses of the high dive are fully opened, the details of the depths of the black light cannot be detected.
Gao Qian stared at the majestic black light in front of him, and a wave of disgust welled up in his heart, he knew that this was an instinctive reaction to negative energy as a human being. The black light in front of him was obviously much larger than when he saw Gui Xiaoqian the day before. If Gui Xiaoqian's black light the day before only made him feel like a haze that was not very clean, then today's black light was a puddle of fishy and smelly sewage, and he had to force himself to jump into it.
"You brought it on yourself. Gao Qian muttered to himself, he took a deep breath and moved his frozen neck, "Since you were a child, you have been looking for things for yourself, what is the thing, it has nothing to do with you, you like to take it on yourself, now it's okay, you finally have a big deal." ”
The high dive muttered to himself as he began to run, and his feet slipped and he fell headlong into the black light.
The high dive climbed up from the concrete floor.
He stiffened his neck, and for a moment, he wondered if he had fallen somewhere else.
There was no heavy snow around, the air was slightly warm, a blood moon hung in the night overhead, and a few gray clouds looked like patches of mildew in a manhole. A building wrapped in green flames stood silently in front of him.
The high dive slowly turned his body and looked back.
The concrete pavement stretched out behind him, an ominous dark red under the blood moon, like a blood-stained road that stretched into the distance. Buildings wrapped in green flames spread out on both sides of the road, like huge green bonfires. Farther away, even the eyes of the high potential could not see clearly, as if something viscous was blocking his vision.
Although the scene in front of him is weird, it can still be recognized that this is still the safe community where Gui Xiaoqian lives. Gao Dive saw the row of low holly bushes, which looked like they were scorched and black, and the unseemly palm trees, their lanceolate leaves had fallen to the dead stems, and an unknown withered yellow plant was wrapped around the trunk and branches, and the whiskers were hanging down, making it look like a large, dry jellyfish.
Really, hell......
This is the world in the black light?
The high dive turned back sluggishly, staring carefully at the building in front of him.
The small high-rise building where Gui Xiaoqian lives is originally very peculiar in shape, like a layered game of drawing wooden blocks, and each floor is irregularly staggered from other floors, either protruding or recessed. Xiao Qian once said that this building is an entry in a design competition, and from the perspective of high-potential taste, it is strange that this kind of design will win an award.
However, at this moment, in this strange world of black light, the strange shape doesn't look so abrupt, and it even fits the surrounding style very well, because at this moment, wrapped in green flames, it looks more like a tall tower. What's even more bizarre is that the green flames on it seem to be attracted by something, and the flames are all in the same direction.
Gao Qian raised his head and followed the direction of the flames. He wasn't surprised at all, all the green flames pointed to the top of the tower, where the green flames were thickest, and where Gui Xiaoqian's apartment was located.
"And said that he is not a witch," Gao Qian took off his suit jacket, threw it on the ground, untied his tie again, pulled the sleeve of his shirt to half an arm, and then hung the baby computer bag around his neck, muttering to himself, "Living on top of the tower, and having the ability to make your residence like a ghost domain, what is not a witch?"
But does a witch have such a great ability? Gao Qian didn't know, he only knew that Gui Xiaoqian was definitely not an ordinary human being.
He strode towards the door of the building, which was wrapped in green flames.
Previously, Sherlock gave him a master key just in case, which is said to be able to open most public door locks, which is really a necessary weapon for stealing chickens and dogs.
It's just that Gao Qian didn't have a chance to use the key, and when he approached the access control, the door opened automatically, as if someone had pressed the switch to open the door inside.
Gao Qian took a deep breath and walked inside.
"I knew it wasn't that simple. Gao Qian stood in place, looking at the layers of ruins in front of him.
If the only difference between the exterior of this building and the outside world is the addition of a layer of green flame effects, then the inside is a complete change of core.
There is no elevator in front of the high diver, no corridor that should have appeared, and no lobby for welcoming guests. In front of him were mottled walls, like a deserted village that had been deserted for hundreds of years, so crumbling that it seemed that it could be toppled with a gentle push.
The low walls cover the entire space in layers, and it looks as if the entire building has been deliberately stripped of the floor slabs, leaving only the walls. Let's not think about why the building with the floor slab removed hasn't collapsed yet, anyway, Newton's laws probably don't apply to this weird black light world.
It's just that Gao Qian looked up for a long time, but he couldn't find where the stairs were.
He couldn't help but curse, did this mean that he was going to climb up the top floor of the twelfth floor along the collapsing wall with his bare hands?
