readx;?“ W-what is this?" Ian's mind kept reverberating with the scene that had just come into view. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

"[Onizuka]. Manhe said, "You can think of it as the [Ghost Gate], which is the most direct intersection from the third basement to the fourth basement floor. Your friend has obviously chosen this path, and using a rope down is indeed the quickest way, if you ignore these ghosts. ”

"Is there any other way to go down?"

"Of course. Manhe nodded, "There are also some trails, there are three paths from the third to the fourth basement, and the other two are trails, and I took those two." This is the avenue on the surface, but you have already seen it. Wait, why are you asking me this, do you want to go down?"

"Gotta go down. Ian said, "I can't die without help." ”

"Do you know how big the fourth basement is, I remember saying it before. Manhe scoffed, "Let's not mention whether you can find him, and even if you do, it is impossible to say if he is still human." It's not me who strikes you, you'd better recognize the reality, you shouldn't waste your time on a person with the least hope, just one of his teammates?"

Manhe's words calmed Ian a little. He knew that what Manhe said was not wrong, it was just a little harsh. Regardless of who the person who went down for now, his hope of survival was indeed very slim, and Ian should not waste too much time on him. As Manhe said, there are still many people waiting for him to find.

"Okay. Ian nodded, "Let's go through the three layers first." ”

Manh breathed a sigh of relief: "It's good that you have a bit of a brain. ”

"How?"

"If you insist on going down, I can't stop you. It's just that then I'm going to be a person again. Manhe shrugged, "It's good to have someone with you, so you can talk." ”

Ian ignored Manhe, his mind was still on the hunter who had reached the fourth basement level. Who the hell is he? Judging from his combat strength, Ian is biased towards the few remaining high-level hunters, and it is also possible that Greg, although he does not know how much of the latter's combat power is still preserved. Also, how dangerous are the four underground floors, and why does Manhe say that the man is certain to die?

Ian thought to himself that sooner or later he would have to go down there and have a look. However, after searching the entire third floor, you can find more teammates, and then go to the fourth basement floor, you will be much more sure.

After a short break, the two returned to the passage on the third basement floor. The [ghost], whose whole body was beaten to pieces, was still lying in place, and after hearing the sound, they turned their heads one after another, staring at the two of them with a pair of eyes without pupils, which made people's hearts tremble. It wasn't until I walked down that corridor that the feeling slowly subsided.

At this point, Ian thought of something and asked Manhe, "Are those ghosts going to stay there forever?"

"Of course not. Manhe said, "They'll be thrown into the [Onizuka]. There are ghosts who are responsible for cleaning up the garbage. ”

What is that ghost?

"You'll find out sooner or later. "If you want to see it now, just wait over there, and it won't be long before those guys show up." Although the ecological environment here is completely different from the outside, there are many similarities, and there are garbage cleaners in the outside world, and there are also things in the outside world. ”

"Are they a threat to us?"

"Are maggots a threat to humans?" Manhe asked rhetorically, "that's something that eats dead bodies, and a living person can trample them to death with a single kick." But after the death of a living person, maggots can slowly eat the corpse of a person. The relationship between a ghost who cleans up garbage and an ordinary ghost is similar to the relationship between maggots and humans, understand?"

Ian nodded as if he didn't understand.

"Aren't there any living creatures in the ghost town?" Ian asked again, "except for the two of us." ”

"Except for the two of us, and your companions who may still be alive, there are none. "Ghost towns are completely cut off from the outside world, and unless they are brought in, it is impossible for living creatures from outside to enter them." Ghost towns don't allow living creatures to exist, so it will do everything it can to turn us into our own kind. ”

Manhe said as he led Ian into another hallway. They haven't been to this corridor yet, no, Ian hasn't been here yet. The brick walls on both sides of the corridor are much darker than the previous green bricks, a gray that is infinitely close to deep black. When you walk in, you can also see inconspicuous stripes carved on the head, which has not been seen before.

"Is there anything different here than before?" Ian asked.

"We're close to the main hall. ”

"The Great Hall?

"I remember saying that before it became a ghost town, it was the main city of the dwarves. "The main hall is the most important place in the city, and there is one on each floor, and each generation of elders is enshrined. ”

"Elder?"

Manhe nodded. Then they walked out of the hallway, and their eyes suddenly widened. Manhe held the oil lamp aloft, and the light of the fire reached farther away. Ian saw tall black shadows, but he didn't panic, because these shadows had no breath of life, in other words, they were all dead things.

Facts also proved Ian's judgment to be correct. These are statues, carved with dwarven warriors with hammers and black shields, which also confirms Manhe's claim that this place was indeed built by the dwarves. But what Ian didn't quite understand was that the dwarves were not tall, why the statue was made so tall, it looked weird, and the fat and round body was magnified several times, and it looked like a ball of black flesh.

"The dwarves believe in this power, wind, forest, fire, and mountain. We call these four forces the elders of the dwarves, the leaders who can lead the dwarves to glory. Manhe said, "The place where we are now is the [Forest Palace]. ”

Ian nodded, and when he looked up, the statues of dwarven warriors looked like ancient trees standing in the darkness. This reminded him of the night in the Yarman Forest, but what puzzled him was why the dwarves believed in the forest?

He gave his doubts to Manhe.

"Who says there are no woods in the desert?" asked Manhe, rhetorically, "an oasis in the desert, which is one of the most precious things. ”
