Qin Anyi smoked a cigarette and exhaled a circle of smoke.

He'd been all over the space, and he was the only one in this hellish place.

And for Qin Anyi, the old smoking gun, the biggest pain is that there are only four cigarettes left.

"Looks like I'm going to have to save a little smoke." Qin Anyi looked at the only four cigarettes left in the cigarette case and thought, "Forget it, four is too unlucky, let's only smoke three."

Qin An thought about it, lit another cigarette, and swallowed the clouds and spit out the fog.

"So far, I can't find a way out, and I can't find anyone here, so it seems that I have to go back." Qin An thought about it, so he started to go back.

Three minutes later, Qin Anyi's face was complicated and ugly.

In the backtracked world, he saw only one victim, the thug.

After the thug strayed here, he was not attacked by any strange and strange creatures, he was starved to death here.

Although he was already insane before starving to death.

And when the thugs starved to death, his body was decomposed by this alien dimension.

And this alien dimension has also expanded a bit.

It's as if you have been nourished and then grown up.

In other words, this so-called alien dimension may be a living thing, but it only knows how to expand itself.

And now Qin Anyi's headache is how to break through this alien dimension.

He is almost a ghost, but he is also a mortal in the flesh, and he also needs to eat and rest.

"What should I do?" Qin Anyi sat in the corridor and pondered.

However, without the slightest effective information at all, Qin Anyi couldn't find a way to break the situation.

"Since I got here because I counted thirteen, would it have any effect if I had walked down to thirteen?" Qin Anyi pondered.

It's also a gamble, where the odds of failure and success are five-five.

Either return to the original normal world, or go to another dimension.

In front of Qin Anyi were these two odds.

"If you hesitate, you will lose." Qin Anyi touched his chin and thought, "And decisive, it will be given in vain."

What a bald choice.

So Qin Anyi stood up and walked to the stairs.

He took a deep breath of cigarette, and the smoke circulated around his lungs, and then was spit out by Qin Anyi.

Qin Anyi casually popped out the cigarette butt and walked down the stairs.

He counted silently in his mind.

"One, two, three...... Eleven, twelve." Qin Anyi walked down the stairs.

Then he went out into the hallway and checked the playground.

There is still no one on the playground, which also means that Qin Anyi has not left this alien space.

So Qin Anyi returned to the stairs, and he began to try to go up the stairs.

However, this time the number of steps is still only twelve.

The extra thirteenth step was as if it didn't exist, and Qin Anyi was also trapped in this place.

"Forget it, I'll try to see if the phantom limb works." Qin Anyi slammed the stairs with a fist of his phantom limb.

Unlike the real world, this time the phantom limb actually pierced through this layer of steps, and the pierced part revealed a distorted gray-white space.

Then the gray-white space quickly healed again.

"It's okay to destroy it directly, but with this kind of recovery speed and amount of work, it is estimated that I will be exhausted here before I go out, unless I have the skill of blowing up this ghost place with one blow, otherwise pure violence and recklessness will not succeed." Qin Anyi rubbed his temples with his left hand.

"Perhaps, I should give it a try, and do something like this." Qin An thought about it and came to the stairs again.

He made his way up the stairs, and when he reached the last step, he counted a ten in his mind

Three.

The scene in front of him made Qin Anyi's face very ugly.

Qin Anyi did not leave this alien dimension, but came to a deeper place.

This is a triangle made of steps, and Qin Anyi is standing at a certain point on the three-dimensional geometric ladder of this triangle.

"It's ...... Penrose Stairs ......" Qin Anyi thought with an ugly face.

The Penrose Ladder is a well-known paradox of geometry, which refers to a ladder that is always up or down but loops indefinitely.

Whether it's to climb or to descend, if you walk on this Penrose ladder, it will be an unsolvable cycle.

Unless he jumps, Qin Anyi is not sure what will happen if he jumps.

Maybe it's getting out of here, or maybe it's falling into some more incomprehensible alien dimension.

Now Qin Anyi doesn't dare to gamble, and everyone is naturally happy if he wins the bet, but if he loses the bet, then he may fall into another unsolvable situation.

Qin Anyi tried to insert his phantom limb into a certain point on the Penrose Ladder.

Immerse yourself in the clutter of your mind, give everything to the wolfbeast's intuition, and let it tell you.

Where is that key location?

But Qin Anyi's intuition has always been in a haze.

He couldn't find out where the key point was, he could only feel that there was that key point in this world.

In the case of unsuccessful results, Qin Anyi gave up the search.

Of course, he can plug it in everywhere.

However, the Penrose Ladder is infinitely looping, what if that key point is at a certain point in the infinite loop?

Maybe it's the point where the cycle is infinitely close to the beginning, or maybe it's the point where it's infinitely close to the end?

At this moment, Qin Anyi was thinking in his heart, and he casually inserted his phantom limb into a certain point.

There was no miracle, it happened the same as it had been at the beginning, it was destroyed and then restored to its original state.

Qin Anyi fell into a helpless situation, he was not the kind of person who would do useless work.

He sat down on the stairs and lit the penultimate cigarette.

Once he had only the cigarette butt left, he threw it beyond the Penrose Steps.

Qin Anyi felt the feeling of being hit by something, and then the cigarette butt fell.

"Okay, I can't jump down now, I'll just come back." Qin Anyi tried again and threw the cigarette butt on it.

This time, the cigarette butt bounced up from underneath.

Qin Anyi frowned, and he threw the cigarette butt to the left again.

The cigarette butt bounced back from the right.

The right-hand side bounces back from the left-hand side.

Qin Anyi tried many directions, and the cigarette butts bounced back from the opposite direction.

"It's like teleporting back from the opposite portal." Qin Anyi muttered to himself and jumped down.

Sure enough, he fell from above to the top of the stairs.

"So, can I understand that this is an enclosed space?" Qin An thought about it.

He stretched out his phantom limb and rammed it into the space beyond Penrose's stairs.

The feeling of the phantom limb is still there, and it hasn't destroyed anything.

Or maybe you can't see even if you destroy something.

Qin Anyi stretched out his left hand again, and his left hand was still in sight.

"In that case, we don't think we're at the limit yet." Qin Anyi guessed, "Looking at it another way, should I try to go up the thirteenth ladder?" No matter how bad it is, the final result will be the same."

The worst outcome is either to go crazy or to die first.

Qin Anyi gave it a try and walked up the stairs.

"One, two, three...... Counting here, Qin Anyi suddenly remembered the days when he was with Lan Qingyi before.

At that time, Lan Qingzhi liked to listen to a song very much

Song.

That song is called "Scattering the Wild", and the singer is a girl named 欸-61, and Lan Qingzhi likes that version very much.

At that time, Lan Qingzhi often stared at Qin Anyi's eyes and said a word.

"I hope we can all be as brave as each other."

Qin Anyi never understood what Lan Qingzhi meant by this, and he didn't understand it until now.

He just suddenly remembered Lan Qingzhi at this time.

"I want to run wild in your eyes......" Qin Anyi snorted in his mouth.

"Everything starts with one, two, three, just like now, one, two, three, I like you."

In his mind, Qin Anyi's expression when the girl said this came to mind again.

And at this moment, he had counted to the thirteenth step, and nothing had changed.

But the corners of Qin Anyi's mouth already brought a shallow smile, and he wanted to take out the penultimate cigarette from the cigarette case.

But the hand with which he had taken the cigarette case put it back again.

Then, with a shallow smile on the corner of his mouth, he half-crouched down, and his phantom limb was inserted on the thirteenth step.

Qin Anyi never pulled out his phantom limb.

He has never figured out the nature of his phantom limb, let alone whether his phantom limb is related to the gift passed on to him by the previous generation of ghosts.

But he believed in one thing.

"Since I've used you before, you can use it for me now." Qin Anyi muttered to himself, "If you can, then you can destroy this place with me, you who have been silent for a long time should not be willing to be silent, right?"

As the words fell, black-red light burst out from the severed arm, wrapping the phantom limb in light.

The black-red arm erupted into a colorless and invisible wave.

Qin Anyi could feel that the strength of his phantom limbs was fading sharply.

Or rather, the power was released from the phantom limbs under the inducement of black and red light.

The black and red light is like a cathartic outlet, venting the power accumulated in the phantom limbs.

This power wiped out anything around him except Qin Anyi.

Everything turned into nothingness, and the Penrose Staircase where Qin Anyi was located disappeared.

But the moment before it completely disappeared, the ghost sign appeared, and it absorbed something that Qin Anyi couldn't see.

As a result, Qin Anyi fell from this space of the Penrose Staircase into the previous Xenodimensional space.

But that power is still being unleashed.

Everything that comes into sight has also turned into nothingness, and the ghost is also absorbing something.

Finally......

"Where did you go?" Xi Ruixuan asked Qin Anyi behind him.

"I guess it's in my heart." Qin An said meaningfully.

Xi Ruixuan looked at Qin Anyi with an incomprehensible expression, and then walked up again.

"You say one, two, three, turn around ......," Qin Anyi hummed in a low voice.
