This is a tower is a huge stone tower made of blocks of earthy yellow blocks and boulders that don't know what the composition is, the whole tower looks like a bloated pillar that goes straight into the sky from a distance, Wu Ming walked to the outer wall of the tower and studied it carefully, and was surprised to find that there was no glue between the boulders of this tower, it was completely stacked by the stones and stones, and what surprised him even more was that even if the height reached at least two hundred meters (Wu Ming's visual inspection), The fact that the boulders at the base of the tower did not crack or deform due to the tremendous pressure from above is a terrible thing in any sense of the word—not only in terms of architectural style and materials, but also in terms of its existence, which challenges common sense and physical rules, and the shattered earth and the deep ravines that extend from the base of the tower to divide the surface of the earth also show that the tower was not originally here.

"Forget it...... Let's let her fall asleep first......" Wu Ming glanced at Zhao Xida, who didn't wake Elizabeth no matter how much he shook it, and asked suspiciously, "Isn't it a shallow area?" What do you mean? ”

Zhao Jida nodded, let go of Elizabeth very obediently, and let her stand aside and continue to sleep: "Normally, this kind of thing that obviously has the style of the deep area of the film world will not appear in the shallow ......"

"Something deep? Isn't the film world a replica of the real-world landscape? Wu Ming was stunned, feeling that he was now full of question marks and trying to figure out that there were so many questions that he couldn't start, he pointed to the towers in front of him: "What is this evil thing like a replica of the scenery of the real world?" ”

Wu Ming didn't feel that this tower was a landscape that might exist in the real world.

Zhao Xida patiently explained to Wu Ming: "Strictly speaking, whether the deep area belongs to the Shadow Realm or not, whether it is a transcendent creature or a secret society, or even an organization has not come to a conclusion for a long time, just because it can only be reached through a fixed passage in the Shadow Realm, it is defined as shallow and deep in order to facilitate the distinction. ”

"In order to make it easier to understand, you can first understand the shadow world as a planet similar to the earth...... "Zhao said that she projected a small sphere in her hand by means of simulation calculations, and then made a mark on the surface of the sphere: "This is the shallow layer of the shadow world adjacent to the real world, while maintaining the same scenery as the real world." ”

"It's already a neighboring world, and you still stick to the concept of 'planet'? Can't it seem more innovative to set a round sky? Seeing the ball in Zhao Xida's hand, Wu Ming muttered for no reason.

Zhao Jida obviously didn't get the slot in Wu Ming's words, or even if she got it, she wouldn't complain: "The most superficial layer is the shallow area of the film world that reproduces the real world, and there are also specific passages leading to deeper areas in the shallow area, and my database has recorded many records of exploration of the deep area of the film world, and the current exploration results are that in addition to the surface layer, there are at least one or two deep areas in the film world, and as you go deeper into the film world, the scenery will become distorted, crazy, and indescribable like a nightmare...... Dangerous. ”

Under Zhao Xida's demonstration, small holes began to appear on the surface of the small ball in the projection, which was a mark of the passage to the deep area, through those small holes, Wu Ming vaguely saw that under the surface of the small sphere, there seemed to be a smaller sphere hidden, and there seemed to be some potholes on the sphere that led to the lower area like the surface sphere.

- Well, it's worthy of Lao Zhao, a model that is so easy to understand that even sardines can understand.

Wu Ming nodded to show that he roughly understood, and then a new question emerged: "But what about the danger?" ”

"There is a strange creature in the deep area called the 'Nightmare Body', but unlike the tame and inert shadow monsters, these monsters are very violent and possess extraordinary powers." The projection sphere in Zhao's hand began to change, and then turned into an amorphous blurred black shadow: "They have a certain intelligence and communication ability, but they refuse to communicate with any living beings. If you want to explore the depths, you will inevitably be attacked by them, and if you encounter a large group of Nightmares, you will likely suffer battle damage. ”

"I see, it's basically not much different from the current situation." Wu Ming frowned and pondered: "Judging from the coordinate axis, the last signal is in the area of the third floor of the tower, and it doesn't need to go too deep compared to the entire tower, so let's avoid a large number of nightmare bodies and move forward carefully." Besides, this time our purpose is to save people, not to fight, so try to avoid fighting......"

"Understood, I'll keep an eye on my surroundings and detect hostile units that may be approaching."

After entering the boulder tower, Wu Ming found that the situation in the tower was much better than he expected, they were not caught by the dog with these three heads as soon as they entered the door, and then had a thrilling forced boss battle, nor was they unlucky enough to run into the nightmare body that Zhao Xida said as soon as they entered the door, and they were hit by more than ten or twenty nightmare bodies jumping on the face when they entered the door.

The interior of the first floor was somewhat badly damaged, and many of the walls used to separate the room and the corridor were punched through a large hole or the entire wall was directly bulldozed by some terrifying force, which saved Wu Ming and his party a lot of trouble - at least they didn't have to open the door to make sure it was a staircase leading to a higher floor, and the battle marks in the rotunda in the center were even more serious, and the floor tiles were almost all smashed by something. But here, as before, nothing remains but traces of the destruction caused by the battle.

Maybe it was because of the battle that had happened here before, so Wu Ming and they didn't encounter a headache nightmare, plus the walls of each room were destroyed and fell on the outside, so they could confirm the situation in the room, and it didn't take long for Wu Ming and them to find the staircase passage leading to the second floor in a small room in the northeast of the hall and ascend to the second floor.

Then Wu Ming and the others met a strange middle-aged European man.

The middle-aged man with a beard and a small braid and white hair was dressed as a standard nineteenth-century European gentleman, wearing a white shirt with a pointed collar and a gray waistcoat with a striped tie underneath. The too burly figure propped up his clothes, giving people the feeling that his clothes would be broken into strips of cloth if he exerted a little force, and there was a knee-length black coat on the outside, which made people a little worried about whether wearing it so tightly on a hot day would cover the prickly heat, and Wu Ming could vaguely see that there were many shiny knives engraved with strange runes hanging inside, and a very old flintlock pistol.

The middle-aged gentleman had an ugly scar on his face that was cut diagonally from the left eyebrow to the right side of his face, and his eyes the size of brass bells were full of a breathtaking fierce light, which completely destroyed the gentlemanly aura that his clothes brought him, and the smile on his face looked particularly hideous and distorted under the flickering candlelight on the wall.

"Are you also here to hunt?"
