Shi Jin put Su Feng down and looked around.

The surrounding torches were still burning, and the red and yellow firelight pulled people's shadows in different directions. The dark figures also kept swaying with the beating candlelight. There was a sense of silence that flickered in and out of sight.

The bottom of the clock tower was filled with a stronger smell of blood. Shi Jin was already used to this smell, his expression did not change, and he quietly observed the surrounding environment with a pair of dark eyes.

Su Feng still couldn't bear it, so he covered his nose and asked, "There is nothing else here except torches. Do we want to explore here for a while longer?"

"It's not necessary." Shi Jin retracted his gaze and looked at Su Feng: "This is probably the real starting point."

She looked at the torch that burned after being struck by lightning in the middle. This object stood in the center and was hot. The wooden sticks were placed in a fence made of iron sheets, and the base layer below was firmly embedded in the floor.

The entire iron sheet shape of the torch is more like a huge torch.

Su Feng suddenly seemed to have thought of something and said: "It seems that the top and bottom of this tower have been reversed. Judging from the direction of the backward movement of the hour hand, if this is true, when the next three bells ring, it should be facing forward. Go up instead of falling down again, right?"

After hearing this, Shi Jin asked: "Is there a possibility? Maybe it's not that the clock tower has been repositioned, but that we have also been turned upside down?"

Su Feng: "..."

The starting torch is burning, and if you want to leave here, you must climb to the top of the tower.

Looking at yet another spiral staircase to take, Su Feng suddenly felt a deep sense of powerlessness.

He was still sighing, but Shi Jin had already stepped onto the stairs.

"Should we hurry up this time?" Su Feng came up and asked, "Are you going to carry me?"

Shi Jin looked around and said, "Let's go through the first two floors first. I have a bad feeling. After being activated by lightning, this tower seemed to have something different inexplicably."

"Something else?" Su Feng didn't quite understand the meaning of her words, but he still followed her obediently without asking any questions.

However, the first two floors were peaceful, just like when they first came in, nothing happened.

It was claustrophobic and quiet, with only the sound of their breathing echoing around.

Su Feng whispered: "It seems like nothing is wrong."

Shi Jin did not reply yet.

After walking another level, the two of them suddenly felt a heat rising from their bodies.

The iron floor beneath my feet began to feel a little warm, and the iron walls around me were also vaguely hot.

Su Feng put his hand on it, and immediately pulled it back because it was so hot, "Hiss—oh my god!"

He blew on his red palm and waved again.

Shi Jin also felt the sultry heat. She frowned slightly and moved her gaze downwards unconsciously. Then, Su Feng's startled voice came to her ears - "Holy shit!!"

Their dark eyes were suddenly covered in a burst of fiery red!

I saw hot and sticky magma continuously overflowing from the burning torch in the center of the bottom floor!

The magma gathered together like water, began to rise gradually, and has now engulfed the stairs on the first floor.

The heat spreads upward from the bottom of the iron sheet, turning the entire enclosed Tai Tower into a scalding steamer!

"Quick! We have to go up quickly!" Su Feng urged loudly.

Shi Jin didn't hesitate, grabbed him and started running upwards.

Because the girl's speed was too fast, Su Feng couldn't keep up. From the beginning of barely running two steps, he ended up being dragged away by Shi Jin!

"Wait, wait -!" Su Feng wanted her to stop, but Shi Jin didn't seem to hear his call for help.

"Dong Dong Dong!!"

The sound of the feet hitting the iron plate and the girl's footsteps running upwards echoed in the iron tower for a long time. When the sixth bell rang, the two finally returned to the big disk on the middle floor of the clock tower.

The temperature here has finally dropped a lot compared to just now.

The heat probably hasn't spread yet.

However, the right and wrong were reversed at this moment. The skeletal corpses that originally existed only on the other side of the stairs were now on the same side as them. Therefore, running along the way, the bones with different postures on the road always gave people an eerie and cold feeling.

Shi Jin slowly let go of Su Feng and looked back at him. However, this look shocked her slightly: "...What's wrong with you?"

I saw a half-naked boy with his legs hanging limply on the ground as if paralyzed. His hair was messy and he looked embarrassed. His calf was bruised and bruised, and his whole body seemed to have been severely tortured by something.

Hearing Shi Jin's voice, Su Feng finally weakly raised his bloodshot and accusing eyes, pointed his trembling hand at her, and said in a hoarse voice: "...You, you want to kill me. ?"

Shi Jin's eyelids twitched, looking at his "miserable situation", although she wanted to laugh inexplicably because she wanted to laugh, but she didn't dare to laugh out loud and damage her merits, so she could only hold it in for a long time, until her face hurt. Suffocating, I finally suppressed the raised corners of my mouth and tried to explain calmly: "I...cough! I just want to pull you to run away faster."

Su Feng: "Bad guy!!!"

Shi Jin immediately regained his serious expression, "Okay, now is not the time to pursue such a trivial matter! There are still two bells to ring, and it's starting to get hot here. We'd better hurry up."

After she finished speaking, she stretched out her hand again, but this time Su Feng refused to be held by her.

The boy was stubborn and tried to get up, as if he planned to leave on his own.

Shi Jin was impressed by his tenacity and looked at him slightly appreciatively, "Not bad, young man, you are quite——" You are so strong.

However, before the last three words were finished, Su Feng, who was struggling to get up, suddenly jumped with his legs and jumped directly onto Shi Jin's back. He clamped her waist with his feet and put his hands around her neck, as if He looked ready to hit the road and said, "Run now."

Shi Jin: "..."

——If it weren't for the fact that this person was still useful, she really wanted to throw him away right now.

Suddenly, a white skeleton stood up outside the middle iron door!
This turn of events shocked both of them!
When the tower was hanging upside down, Shi Jin didn't pay attention to the corpse at the door. Now, at a glance, the clothes of the other party that were not completely rotten looked like a scholar's.

Shi Jin subconsciously kicked it to the ground!
Su Feng said: "Hurry up! Let's run!"

"Don't rush me, do you really think I'm your horse?! Believe it or not, I threw you away?!"

Su Feng stopped talking for a moment.

*
After passing the middle floor, you are closer to the top of the tower. The higher you go up, the smaller the curvature of the spiral staircase becomes.

Su Feng hugged Shi Jin tighter because of fear.

Realizing that his arm was exerting force, Shi Jin raised his eyebrows slightly, and then said: "If you shrink a little more, I will throw you down."

Su Feng: "..."

He could only relax a little.

"Boom-!!"

The seventh bell sounded just as it was approaching the top of the tower!
The whole tower shook again, and Shi Jin immediately stopped and leaned against the iron wall to steady himself.

After the shaking, everything seemed to be calm again.

But the magma that had been rising below seemed to have increased its speed and began to approach them, making the surrounding temperature even hotter.

There is only one last bell left.

Fortunately, the two of them were only five or six floors away from the top of the tower. With her speed, they could reach it before the next bell rang.

However, just when Shi Jin was about to continue walking, some white bones nearby that were attached to the iron sheet in strange postures suddenly raised their white claws and grabbed her ankles!

Shi Jin was startled and subconsciously shook it off!
Unexpectedly, as soon as one was thrown away, the other skeletons up and down the spiral staircase stood up crookedly, as if the undead had awakened, and staggered towards the two people's position, as if they wanted to stop them.

Su Feng had never seen such a scene before, and his face turned pale with fright. He grabbed Shi Jin's collar and said, "Brother, run! Run quickly!!"

Shi Jin was speechless and scolded him in a low voice: "Quiet!"

Bones block the road, like an army of undead.

It seems like these guys won't let them escape easily.

Shi Jin's face remained calm, but Su Feng, who was holding her collar, became more and more anxious, and even his voice was filled with more urgency and fear: "If we don't run away, they will rush up! We will never be able to leave again!"

"Really? How do you know we can never leave?"

Su Feng didn't expect Shi Jin to ask this question suddenly. He immediately said with red eyes: "Isn't this obvious?! Otherwise, why would they stop us?!"

"..."

Shi Jin said: "Well, you're right, let's go."

Su Feng: "???"

When has it been? !How could this man speak so lightly? !

The skeleton blocking the road had little force value and was slow in movement. Even if it pounced on Shi Jin, it could not reach the corner of her clothes and was dodged.

I don’t know when the eighth bell will ring.

20 seconds later, the two of them had reached the last level of the stairs.

As long as you leave the small square hole at the beginning, you will probably have cleared the level.

But the small square hole that came in at the beginning should have been opened, but now it is tightly welded by a piece of iron sheet, and we must find a way to break it open.

Shi Jin put down Su Feng and knocked on the iron door. The boy urged: "Stop knocking and open it quickly. I know you can solve it with one fist!"

Shi Jin said, "It's the last minute, so it's better to be more vigilant. What if the door is suddenly opened and there is something else behind it?" She was probably right, Su Feng pursed his lips.

The undead are still approaching, but the distance is too far and their speed is too slow to pose a threat at all. Several skeletons that were already here have been eliminated by Shi Jin.

After knocking twice, there is probably no problem.

Shi Jin suddenly punched down, but it didn't hit the iron door, but hit Su Feng in the face!

The boy was knocked down unexpectedly and his body fell on the iron stairs with a heavy sound!

"You, what are you doing?!"

Su Feng looked at Shi Jin in disbelief.

But the girl in front of him suddenly became very strange.

She leaned against the wall leisurely, moved the joint of the hand that hit him just now, and said in a nonchalant tone: "There is a question I have always wanted to ask you."

"W-what?" Su Feng was startled, his cheeks swollen and his eyes red.

Shi Jin smiled and asked, "How did you understand the notes on the last page of the middle-level diary?"

*
Unlike the diary, the words on the last page of paper were just some unfamiliar characters.

Shi Jin looked at it carefully, but before he could see anything, Su Feng next to him was already reading it out smoothly.

Shi Jin said: "Lightning strikes the torch, the gods punish the sins, and the sea of ​​​​fire engulfs everything. These are the ancient words in the Time Tower. Generally, no one can understand them. They don't know that they must activate the starting mechanism in the tower. To actually leave.”

"So I walked up step by step. Even if I reached the top with strong willpower, after breaking the iron door, what I saw was still a sea of ​​fire."

"When I discovered that I only existed in an upside-down clock tower, all hope was destroyed. The hope that supported my life completely disappeared. I realized that no one could get out, and they all died here."

"However, as a language researcher, you are genius-like and can figure out the true meaning of this tower from a bunch of strange characters. You know that you must activate the torch at the bottom of the tower before you can leave, but at that time You are also close to death."

"I don't know when you possessed Su Feng, but I marvel at your disguise. At least I didn't notice it until you read the ancient words."

She said quietly, with a smile in her eyes, but the smile was extremely cold.

"Su Feng's" expression had already changed from slightly angry to gray and cold.

The way he looked at Shi Jin also completely changed.

The girl's determined look seemed like he couldn't hide it from her no matter how much he tried to act stupid.

"...It turns out that I am stupid." He stopped pretending and said in a frustrated tone: "Let me tell you the truth. I am indeed not your companion, but please believe that I have no ill intentions. I just want to go out with you." That’s all, even if I leaned over your companion, I didn’t hurt him, and the three of us can walk together.”

"Really?" Shi Jin raised his eyebrows: "Now, can you explain to me how you leaned over Su Feng? People in other towers are trapped in their own skeleton corpses as undead existences, but you don't Same, you can actually leave your body?"

The man pursed his lips and said: "This...I don't know very well. Maybe I am not a real sinner. I have never done any bad things when I was alive. I have been in the tower for a long time. This time, it is not easy." When someone came in, I saw your abilities, so I thought you could activate the torch."

"So that's it." Shi Jin chuckled and nodded, approaching him, his dark eyes staring at "Su Feng" in front of him, and suddenly said: "If my guess is right, the person wearing the clothes outside the iron door on the middle floor looks like They are the bones of a scholar, they should be yours.”

"Yes..." he admitted.

However, the next second, Shi Jin's eyes were sharp and sharp, and his words were a bit more stern and cold, and he asked word by word: "Then you who are leaning over Su Feng are no longer the undead among the bones. How did he suddenly stand up in front of us and rush towards us?"

The man was startled, but before he could speak, Shi Jin continued: "Why did the three of them leave together? You have already squeezed Su Feng out and occupied his body, and you still dare to say such things?!"

She knew that the game with the giant baby would not be so easy to pass.

"If what I think is right, you were able to leave your body not because of your status as a sinless person, but because a certain white-haired guy helped you and told you that you can lean over the body of those who come after you and talk to others. Let's leave together, right? The miracle you wanted has appeared."

"..."

Now that the words have come to this point, the man can no longer quibble.

His face finally became distorted and gloomy.

"No matter what! Your companion is also trapped below! He has been swallowed up by the magma now! It's too late to save him! Either we go together or die together!"

Shi Jin sneered and said, "You are so confident. Let's go or die together. Do you think I will come with you?"

The man's face was ugly and his expression was sinister: "Yes... yes, you can't. I've been trapped in this place for I don't know how long! I know I can't beat you, so that's okay. Since I'm talking about this, Even if I die this time, I have no regrets! At least I have someone to support you. You can choose to go alone, but your companions-"

He raised his lips and sneered crazily: "He will be buried here with me completely, and the game between the gods and you will also end, and you will lose."

After saying this, he stared at Shi Jin proudly and crazily.

Hear the key word in his words - God.

I'm afraid he's referring to the giant white-haired baby.

It was indeed a game arranged by that guy. Since he has the ability to travel through any dimension of time and space, it is not surprising that he would have come here a long time ago.

Seeing that he was about to lose his mind, Shi Jin didn't mind provoking him again.

Being trapped in this high tower from birth to death does sound sympathetic, but Shi Jin doesn't have extensive sympathy. Judging from the fact that he wants to trick himself and harm an innocent boy, maybe he has a basic consciousness. Not a guy who has ever committed a crime.

Shi Jin had some knowledge about the tower.

In the interpretation of tarot cards, the tower implies destruction and complete ending. Those who cannot thoroughly reflect on themselves will become captives of the devil and be imprisoned in the tower to suffer various blows and torture.

The torture that the tower brings to the sinner this time is called climbing.

Climbing to the top, just when I thought I would be able to get relief, I was suddenly hit in the head, hanging upside down, and everything started from scratch, over and over again, with no end to the day.

Shi Jin suddenly raised his hand.

A purple current seemed to condense into a long whip in her palm.

The man was stunned for a moment and looked down at the long whip. Then, his eyes were splitting - "How, how is it possible?! When did you do that?!"

I saw a skeleton with several pieces of scholar's rags wrapped around the bottom of the whip!

Shi Jin raised his eyebrows: "When you start from the middle and continue upward, how else do you think I agreed to carry you? I just don't want you to look down."

If a man once looked back, he would be surprised to find a white skeleton wrapped around the waist hanging in the hollow behind them!
"Now that everyone is here," Shi Jin said with a smile, "Let's continue with the last thing."

As soon as she finished speaking, a powerful electric current suddenly released from her palm!

The purple electric whip whipped towards the man, and his body was hit against the iron wall!

The electric current was converted, and the white electric light was transmitted instantly, all over the tower. The man's eyes widened, and his voice gradually weakened under the strong electric attack. The roars and screams disappeared completely in the end!
At the same time, the white bones around him pounced on the body, and then began to fall apart. When it was completely torn into pieces, the strong body with white smoke rising from the wall also fell to the ground.

The white electric current is the smallest, but it can resonate with biological electricity. It is suitable for use in battles that do not hurt the opponent's body. After all, this electric current goes straight to the soul. It was also the same when he forced the white-haired giant baby out of classmate Klavak's body. Use this kind.

Su Feng's body was limp, and electric currents still appeared from time to time. Shi Jin stepped forward and carried him on his back, then turned around and kicked open the square iron door.

There was still a sea of ​​fire outside, and the clock tower was still hanging upside down.

But there was no panic at all in Shi Jin's eyes.

[Tower] Forced end, complete destruction.

But all hope is based on destruction.

Just total destruction.

Only then can there be complete rebirth.

With firm eyes, she jumped into the water-like sea of ​​fire below without hesitation!

Su Feng only had a weak consciousness, and his half-closed eyes looked around blankly.

But when Shi Jin suddenly jumped into the sea of ​​​​fire below, he was suddenly frightened and woke up - "Holy shit!!!!"

*
"boom!"

Shi Jin kicked open the door of the mecha's cockpit and dragged Su Feng out of the cabin.

Su Feng seemed to be still immersed in Shi Jin's act, which was tantamount to suicide. His face was extremely pale with fear, his whole body was shaking, and his forehead was covered with sweat.

When he landed, he suddenly hugged Shi Jin's thigh tightly and burst into tears, but the girl kicked him away in disgust.

To outsiders in the arena, Su Feng might have become so frightened because he almost killed someone.

But only he himself knew what kind of adventure he and Shi Jin had experienced in that short second.

"I'm sorry for making you worry," Shi Jin said, his eyes falling on Su Feng who was crying next to him: "The matter has not been resolved yet."

She walked towards the boy, stretched out her hand and lifted him up from the ground.

At this moment, his clothes were still intact. The time when the two teleported out was still in the cockpit. Shi Jin did not directly remove the fabric from his limbs because of the heat, and Su Feng did not burst out of his shirt, so he could lift his collar.

"This guy actually dares to openly attack a flesh and blood body that has not activated the mecha yet! It is already a serious crime and the circumstances are egregious!" A classmate from Victoria shouted angrily: "This matter must be dealt with seriously!!"

"That's right! He was looking down on Victoria backstage just now. Why is he unwilling to lose the game? How dare he do such a thing after the game?!"

Shi Ye also had cold eyes. After confirming that Shi Jin was fine, he turned around and punched Su Feng in the face!

Shi Jin didn't stop him, knowing that the boy needed to vent, but after he punched her, she still pretended to be a little bit more interested and said: "Okay, Xiaoye, just one punch is enough. This guy is rough." The flesh is thick and strong, don’t hurt your hands.”

Shi Jin also wanted to press him to the ground and rub him, but Shi Jin took action in time and wrapped his fist.

The girl's palms were warm, just like a stone being caught by the water when thrown into a lake. The anger, boredom and slight fear in Shi Ye's heart completely disappeared.
