After getting out of the car, Gao Pan was not allowed to carry everything on his body, except for the clothes he wore on his body and shoes.

Father Gao was a little anxious. What is the situation? The sergeant set up a card, he could understand this, after all, this is not an ordinary place, and those magical means are not undefended. But after all, it's going to school, so how can you bring nothing? don't want to change clothes, don't you want school supplies, don't you want tuition?

"Sir, my child is going to school, this, don't bring anything to school......"

The sergeant raised his hand again to interrupt Father Gao's words, turned his head and said, "That's the order we received. In addition, Gao Pan is the holder and the permitted person of the pass, and we will be responsible for sending him to the school next, and you, please leave within five minutes. This is also the order we receive. ”

The voice grew cold again. It's like a machine. It is very different from the soldiers that Gao's father has met and come into contact with, giving him a feeling of heartache that he has never experienced. He didn't know that this was actually evil qi, and the warriors who experienced life and death would be contaminated with some of it, and he couldn't feel it, but others would feel it obvious and form a deterrent.

"Order?" this ......" Father Gao was a little dumbfounded, but he really didn't dare to go up and scare these two words, he knew that once the word "order" was involved, it meant that the bottom line of these soldiers had no bargaining meaning.

Without waiting for Gao Father to say anything more, the sergeant led Gao Pan towards the back of the sentry post.

"Get in the car. ”

By this time, the sixteen-year-old Gao Pan felt a little weak in his heart. Strange environment, strange people, and cold, this is not a good experience for a half-sized child.

Nothing to say all the way. Gao Pan didn't dare to ask, a little afraid. The sergeant was reluctant to speak. Just like that, I sat on the military off-road bumps all the way for an hour and a half to reach the destination. During this time, they went through three checkpoints. That attitude of being ready made Gao Pan even more curious about the new school he was about to step into.

"Get out of the car, you've arrived. See the steps ahead? You need to go up on your own, boy, come on!" This was the first time the serious sergeant had seen this Gao Pan speak, and there was no coldness in his words, and his eyes were full of encouragement. This gave Gao Pan's unusually worried heart some comfort.

"Thank you, uncle!" Gao Pan replied, and got out of the car.

"Watch out, boy!" added the sergeant behind him, after a few steps.

The clever Gao Pan was stunned for a moment, then felt strange, and finally doubted and suspicious. First of all, this sentence should be a reminder of what? Be careful? There will be danger ahead?

I just wanted to go back and ask, but I found that the off-road vehicle that sent me had already driven away. Looking around, there was no one but the dappled sunlight on the trees and the ground. In this quiet environment, there is a place in front of him that needs to be "careful", which makes the sixteen-year-old Gao Pan feel a little worried in an instant, and he is no longer just worried.

"Isn't it just going to school? what's the big deal?" cheered himself up, Gao Pan took a deep breath, and then raised his legs and walked towards the steps not far ahead.

Standing at the bottom of the stairs and looking up, you don't see anything that looks like a school building, at most you can see a tall stone monument towering at the end of the view.

What's that? Anyway, let's go up first.

Thinking to himself, his feet did not stop, and Gao Pan took the first step to step on those steps that looked black and seemed to be as smooth as jade. Almost instantly, a whirlwind began.

"Hiss!"

Before Gao Pan could figure out why he had suddenly found himself in a metal wreckage, he heard a hissing in his ears. The voice was not a snake, but Gao Pan was familiar.

"I'll go!"

It was the voice of the alien, the one that Gao Pan feared the most. It's a terrifying name that remains in his heart after watching that movie series a few years ago.

Yes, tall, sunny appearance, cheerful and down-to-earth Gao Pan, he rejects thriller movies in his heart, among which the fictional image of monsters is the most unacceptable to him, and the typical one is alien. And now, all around, the voices in my ears, and the hideous shadow that slowly came out of front of my eyes, everything was saying: Hey, Gao Pan, welcome to the alien world.

Are you scared to pee?

Gao Pan's first reaction was to run away. Regardless of the direction, just run, escape from this nightmare.

Yes, now Gao Pan's mind feels that he must be in a nightmare, and even if it is true, it is absolutely unreal.

But does it work? It doesn't work.

No matter how he ran, the shadow followed closely behind Gao Pan, and even he could smell the thick sour smell that seemed to be saliva, as well as the rancid smell.

Can't run!

Gao Pan couldn't run anymore. What to do?

Half an hour later. It's still that quiet place, it's still that staircase. It's just that Gao Pan has reached the fifty-six steps above. Not standing there, but lying on it, dizzy. The two middle-aged men were smiling and grabbing Gao Pan with one hand, and then just hovered in mid-air, as if there was some power supporting them.

"Lao Chen, this kid is good, he actually climbed to level fifty-six before fainting, but now he has the best results. I remember that the first place was only thirty-two steps, right? ”

"It's normal to have more. The oldest child was only 12 years old, and the youngest was only 9 years old, and he lacked a lot of mental health. This kid, well, Gao Pan, the only auditor, is sixteen years old, and it is not surprising that his grades are better. Let's go, take it up the hill. When this child arrives, all the people in this first phase are ready. ”

"Let's go. The child's soul was stimulated a lot, and he had to go back to cooking. I happened to tell the door owner that it was a pity for this child to be an auditor. ”

"Yes. Although he is sixteen years old, he is past the best age, but this talent is still good. I remember that during the primary election, this kid was the three best, right? Tsk, if the owner of the door didn't agree to change his identity, that would be better. ”

"What do you want to do?"

"What are you doing? Collect apprentices! Lao Chen, don't rob me. ”

"Hey, I said your brain is spinning fast! Let's go, let's sum up. ”

Between the words, the two middle-aged people climbed all the way up with a stunned Gao Pan, their steps were surprisingly fast, and if they looked closely, they didn't seem to touch the ground, and a thin layer of force dragged them out more than ten meters away every time they moved.

When they reached the top of the stairs, the two of them subconsciously glanced back, and interviewed nine hundred and ninety-nine steps below. Their eyes were burning as they looked at the steps. Because they also hope that one day they will be able to go from the first level to the last level with dignity.

Therefore, the current name on the stone tablet includes not only those students, but also these two, as well as all the monks in the Demon Gate.

And the name of that stele is called: Winning Monument.

The path up the mountain with the limit of 999 is the Demon Ladder.
