The arrogance of the city

Chapter 1654 The Secret of Tongtian Tower
Knowing that there is a possibility that there will be no return, Li Futu still chose to enter the Tongtian Tower without hesitation.

"Good luck."

The lord of Sky City watched him go up to the second floor, no expression could be seen in his pale eyes.

Sweeping his eyes over the huge murals, Li Futu climbed up the steps, and when he stepped up to the second floor, his eyes flashed in vain.

Because it is different from the emptiness he imagined, in the second floor of Tongtian Tower, there are actually many people, both men and women, all of them are sitting curled up on the ground, motionless, with their eyes closed, and they can't even hear any breathing. , like lifeless, rigid sculptures.

Although there were many people, they were silent, so quiet that it was almost terrifying.

Such a scene is very weird, and it is a bit beyond Li Futu's expectations.

The sound of Li Futu's footsteps caused some of them to slowly open their eyes. The rolling of their eyeballs is enough to prove that they are not fake dead things. They just took a look at Li Futu, and these people quickly closed them again. binocular.

"There's a new one coming."

A hoarse voice sounded from not far away.

Li Futu looked over and found a disheveled man sitting there with his eyes closed, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing an incomprehensible sarcasm.

Li Futu glanced at the steps leading up to the third floor, hesitated for a while, and was not in a hurry to go up. He walked towards the man who spoke, squatted down, and looked at the 'meditators' who were no less than a hundred people.

"You...why are you all sitting here?"

"Conserve your strength, you will be like us soon."

Although the other party kept his eyes closed from beginning to end, he did not resist talking to Li Futu.

Although the strength of these people on the second floor is generally not high, Li Futu guessed that most of these people are those strong people who entered the Tongtian Tower to find the passage to the Great World but disappeared in the end.

So they've been staying in the tower all this time?
"Preserve your strength?"

Li Futu frowned, and then asked, "Why don't you go out?"

"Before you came in, didn't anyone tell you the rules here? Entering the Tongtian Tower means that there is no return, go out?"

The other party sneered.

"Tell me, how to get out?"

Li Futu looked back subconsciously, and was startled.

The steps he came up just now disappeared in vain!

It's not an illusion, but a complete disappearance, where it becomes a flat ground, seamlessly connected with the ground of the second floor, as if this is not the second floor, but the first floor!
"Did you see it? Once you enter this Tongtian Tower, don't even think about going back. You can either keep climbing, or find a place to sit quietly and wait for death."

The emotion of despair is like throwing a person into a dark, narrow deep well, lonely and helpless.

Although the man who had sat cross-legged for a long time and had hair hanging down to the ground was smiling, his smile didn't have any warmth. It was as cold and lifeless as the atmosphere here.

He didn't know how long he had been locked here, but he had obviously given up hope of escaping, and he wanted to pass on this feeling of despair to others.

Letting others feel the fear together may be his only pleasure in these days of waiting for death.

"Then why are you all sitting here? There is no way out, you can go up, doesn't it mean that there is a passage to the big world in Tongtian Tower? Find the passage, maybe there is still a chance..."

"aisle?"

The man laughed out loud, causing many 'meditators' around to frown and open their eyes, but the people here seem to be very lazy, not only don't like to talk, they don't even want to move, and soon they started to continue 'meditating' '.

"You must also be attracted by the so-called beautiful legends. What kind of passage is a big joke! This Tongtian Tower is a lifelong prison. Once you enter here, it means that you will be deprived of freedom forever. In the torment of the day, waiting for death to come."

"How can you be sure it's a joke?"

Li Futu's mood was a little low. Although he had prepared for the worst, it was unavoidable for him to accept all this.

"Have you already searched for this Tongtian Tower?"

"Search all over? How is it possible? Impossible, no one can do it."

"why?"

The man fell silent, then opened his eyes and turned to look at Li Futu.

"It seems that your strength is good. Up to now, I haven't felt the difference between this Tongtian Tower and the outside."

Li Futu frowned, subconsciously looked around,

It is undeniable that the space inside the Tongtian Tower is much wider than it looks from the outside. Apart from these 'meditators' who are almost like walking dead, he has not found any other strange places.

And what this man refers to is different, obviously it should not be the 'meditators' around him like him.

"Don't you feel..."

The man's faint voice floated.

"gravity."

"The gravity here is far greater than that outside."

Li Futu's eyes were fixed, and he suddenly realized in vain.

When he came up, he didn't notice it, but after the man reminded him, he subconsciously felt it. It was indeed as the man said, the gravity here is indeed not on the same level as the outside.

"Although the gravity inside the tower is indeed higher than outside, it doesn't have much effect, does it?"

He was puzzled.

"This level of gravity really doesn't have a serious impact. Those who dare to enter this tower can basically bear it, but what if the gravity is increased?"

The man sneered: "This is only the second floor, and the gravity is only [-] times that of the outside, but on the third floor, the gravity will be doubled, and then go up, successively increasing, do you still think it doesn't matter? "

Li Futu's eyes trembled, and he looked up at the staircase leading to the third floor.

Although the escape route back to the first floor disappeared, the Tongtian Tower did not block the upward climbing path.

"You all retreated from above?"

He finally understood a little bit now that these people would be sitting here.

The man didn't respond again.
Li Fu didn't continue to ask any more questions. He basically already knew what he wanted to know. These people probably couldn't bear the gravity that became more and more abnormal as they went up, so they couldn't climb to the top of the tower. It doesn't mean that the legend of Tongtian Tower is really just a lie.

Li Futu stood up and walked towards the stairs leading to the third floor.

"Don't waste your efforts in wishful thinking, believe me, you will come back in the end."

Behind him, a man's deep and extreme voice came.

Li Futu kept walking, passed by these 'meditators', stepped on the steps, and quickly disappeared on the second floor.
