Chapter 22: The Curse

Can't get close to the mother stone, Li Yu actually has nothing to do in this black tower, he thought that there was very little space here, but after knowing that Old Man Fei lived here every day, Li Yu dispelled this idea. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Li Yu, who had never seen any wall in the space at the bottom of the Black Tower, knew that there were many ways to obscure the sight of ordinary people in the martial arts world.

Following the direction pointed by the old man's finger earlier, Li Yu didn't go far before he saw his target—a dilapidated door.

As he reached the space, the hazy mist around him suddenly dispersed, revealing the scene around the door.

It turned out that it was a room.

This is also where Li Yu will live for many years in the future.

Li Yu gently pushed the door open, and with the screeching sound of squeaky screws pulling the wooden door frame, the scene in the room appeared in Li Yu's eyes, and it was unobstructed.

Without looking, just listening to the sound, Li Yu knew how long this room had not been inhabited, and he had already expected the extent of the dilapidation of this room, but even so, when this room really appeared in front of him, he was still taken aback by its dilapidation and decay.

The darkness exudes an air of decay that has not been ventilated for an unknown number of years, and the space of the black hole and the dead silence around it, which is almost silent, renders it mysterious and terrifying.

As if sensing someone's arrival, the remaining lamp in the room flickered on, and I don't know when the spiritual power stone placed in the wick had already run out of oil, and it only floated for just ten minutes before it went out, and the surroundings were dark again.

However, with the light of Fang Cai, Li Yu has already seen this small house of only a few square meters up and down, the room is not big, and the facilities inside are very simple, only a bed and a simple wardrobe.

It was covered in dust, and the walls on all sides and the broken door were not damaged in any way, though they smelled of decay.

To Li Yu's surprise, on the inner wall of this hut, he actually saw a window, Li Yu looked at it carefully for a long time and knew that this was a real window, and the opposite side of the window was the outside of the Black Tower, at this time it was already dark, and not many students appeared around the Black Tower.

It's just that the window is one-sided, and outsiders can't even find the window itself, let alone see Li Yu on the other side of the window.

Li Yu suddenly thought of something, and suddenly fell into a cold, and shivered unconsciously, as if he had discovered something terrible, this kind of abnormal look was very rare on Li Yu's face.

He thought of a historical fact he had heard from Tang Yue before, it was not the first case of himself being trapped in the Black Tower, in the past few thousand years, this situation had happened a total of sixteen times, and finally seven people successfully got out of here.

Tang Yue, who said this number with the intention of encouraging Li Yu to work hard to get out of here, definitely didn't expect that Li Yu was never thinking of how to get out of here at this time.

He couldn't help but think of it in a cold sweat...... Since only seven of the sixteen people succeeded, it means that a total of nine people really died of old age here.

I heard that they lived in the same place before and after, that is, the hut in front of him at this time, that is, there were nine people, who could only face that window all their lives, looking out at the four seasons of spring and summer, and even early morning and twilight, but they couldn't get out of here for half a step, and finally died claustrophobly.

From that window, Li Yu seemed to see great malice, the window seemed to give people hope, but it gave people despair.

If he didn't have any goals here in the first place, and the desire to go out was not very strong, then at this time...... He had a lifelong longing to get out of here, a longing that can only be found in the face of life and death.

Li Yu clenched his fists vigorously, his eyes were firm, and he made up his mind - he must get out of here!

Hearing footsteps in the distance, Li Yu turned around and saw Tang Yue, who had come here again.

Seeing her again, Li Yu was not so surprised, he took the quilt she was holding in his hand and put it directly on the place, as for why it was not placed on the bed in the house, Li Yu looked at the dark and originally bright solid wood that had now become a gray wooden bed, and frowned fiercely.

The reason is ...... It's too dirty!

Sent the bed quilt, Tang Yue looked at the time, said to Li Yu and walked out, the time was almost nine o'clock, and it was time for Tang Yue, who had a very stable schedule and rest time, to sleep.

Li Yu added a spirit stone under the lamp, glanced at the surroundings that gradually became clear because of the bright light, took a deep breath and didn't waste any more time, and buried himself in the hut to clean up.

When I had dinner before, I had already instructed Tang Yue about the tools that should be used for cleaning, and this time she brought it with her, the hut was not big, but it took Li Yu nearly two hours to complete the cleaning.

Looking at the room around him that seemed to be a new look, Li Yu nodded with satisfaction, and the little musty smell left in the room became no longer disgusting.

It was already late at night at this time, and no longer hesitated, Li Yu lay down directly on the newly made bed after washing.

It's just that Li Yu, who usually has a high quality of sleep, has rare insomnia today, and he can't sleep after tossing and turning, and he feels like a dream when he thinks that he actually slept in the black tower at this time.

There was no sound around, and the windows could only see images but not sound, which made the surroundings unusually quiet.

Breathing in the unfamiliar air here, Li Yu's head was clear for a while, and his thoughts were highly concentrated, recalling the records he had seen in the library in the past about improving the power of the divine soul, and constantly replaying them in his mind, hoping to clear a thought from it.

Coming to this world from a place that even he didn't know, the only good thing about him was that he never believed in any absolutes, nor did he believe in the impossible, even this completely new world could appear in front of him, what else was impossible?

The words that Old Man Fei was about to attack him were completely ineffective.

I don't know when, Li Yu's consciousness is no longer clear, but falls into a deep dream.

Dreaming was commonplace for Li Yu five years ago, and the same dream was like a movie disc playing repeatedly. But since Li Yu's head was accidentally injured one day, that dream has automatically left him.

It's just that what Li Yu didn't expect was that this dream would come back one day in the future, and it was on Li Yu's first day sleeping in the Black Tower.

The completely crimson dream returned on the day he was about to push open the door to the martial arts.

Fear and gore abound.

It's like a curse!
