List of strange talismans

Chapter 68
The bright and beautiful small building was dark.

It's not the kind of darkness where you can't see your fingers. In fact, Gu Xiuya can feel the light floating in his vision, but the light is too dim to illuminate anything, and there seems to be nothing.

Gu Xiuya had no choice but to take out the flashlight to light it up. The moment he pressed the switch, he realized that he was not in front of the entrance hall he saw from the outside.

The corridor disappeared after he walked through the door, replaced by a spiral downward staircase.

Gu Xiuya hesitated for a moment, then stepped down the steps.

In fact, he has no other choice at this time, because the door behind him is turning from light to light, and the front is shrouded in darkness.

If you don't go down, you can't go anywhere.

The pavement paved with saltpeter was covered with dew, and the temperature dropped sharply compared to outside the door, and one could even feel chills on the soles of the feet when stepping on it.

Gu Xiuya counted the stairs and walked down while paying attention to the movement around him.

But soon he discovered that it was pointless to do so, because apart from the sound of his feet stepping on the ground, there was no movement around him.

There was no voice, no popularity, not even the wind.

The spiraling downward staircase seems to lead directly to the winding path to hell, so quiet that it makes one's scalp tingle.

The time became long in the silence, and he didn't know how long it had passed. When he counted to 337 steps, a wall suddenly appeared in front of him.

An ancient wall made of bluestone, as if it had just been fished out of the water.

There is nothing on the wall, the wall is smooth and tidy, and the top cannot be seen when looking up, almost blending with the darkness.

Gu Xiuya reached out and groped for it, but he didn't find any mechanism except that it was cold.

He couldn't help frowning slightly, turned around and wanted to go back, only to find that the stairs behind him were disappearing step by step.

In such a short period of time, the long stairs he walked on when he came here were only left with a short section from the top of his head to the bottom of his feet.

Gu Xiuya didn't know where the disappeared staircase went, but he thought it wouldn't be a good place.

And once the ladder under his feet disappeared, he might not have any good results when he was on it.

Gu Xiuya's face was a bit ugly, he would rather jump out of a monster right now and have a real fight with himself than to be swallowed up by the darkness without thinking.

There must be something key.

Such a long staircase is not just to lead me to a desperate situation, it can kill me at the door if I have this skill.

Gu Xiuya's thinking was running fast. He remembered that all illusions in the real world are the realization of information. So what information do the walls and stairs represent?
Wait, information?
Is it the wrong way for me to receive this information?

Thinking of this, Gu Xiuya caught a glimpse of darkness spreading behind him from the corner of his eye.

He didn't dare to delay any longer, and immediately activated the eye in the skull again.

The picture in front of me jumped for a moment, and the next moment, the wall began to melt like wax.

The darkness was exposed from behind the peeling wall, and the deep gloom spread out, turning into a dreamlike floating door.

Inside the door, there was a picture floating like waves, and Gu Xiuya saw the yard he passed by when he came here, as well as his own figure.

He didn't have time to hesitate, and seized the last chance to step in.

In an instant, the world was spinning.

Gu Xiuya felt that his perspective was moving down.

He looked down and found that his entire body was changing at an extremely fast speed.

Height is decreasing.

The strong muscles on the arms gradually disappeared, the strong thighs became slender, and the skin changed from wheaten to pale.

Gu Xiuya felt a burst of panting, his body seemed to have changed into another body, and he became tired and weak.

He raised his hand to hold onto something, only to realize that he was actually holding a cane in his hand for a split second.

The front suddenly lit up.

Gu Xiuya saw a floor-to-ceiling mirror, and in the mirror was a crooked figure leaning on a cane.

The figure was wearing a black linen hooded gown, the gray hair was messy and scattered on the shoulders, and a sickly pale young face could be vaguely seen.

Gu Xiuya frowned slightly, and found that the figure in the mirror frowned too.

this is me?

He felt a little stunned and couldn't help looking around.

Only after seeing this did he realize that he was actually in a gorgeous room. There was a luxurious and exquisite three-meter bed at the door, and the velvet bedding exuded a faint herbal incense.

The walls on the left and right are covered with gilt wallpaper, and next to it is a set of animal skin sofas with deer and crocodile heads hanging above it.

In front of him was a long solid wood reception table, and starlight fell from the zenith made of transparent glass, just illuminating the floor-to-ceiling mirror next to it.

"Jeffrey, it's time for you to take your medicine."

The voice came with the footsteps.

Gu Xiuya turned his head and saw a well-dressed middle-aged man walking up to him and putting the water glass in his hand on the table next to him.

"what happened?"

Seeing that Gu Xiuya was silent, the middle-aged man couldn't help frowning slightly: "The erosion of embers has started again?"

"No."

Gu Xiuya heard a voice coming out of his own mouth, the tone and pitch were completely different from his own voice.

... I became Jeffrey?

Isn't Jeffrey Matthews' captain of the guard? Why does his body look so weak?
Gu Xiuya was shocked. He tried to control his body, but found that he couldn't do it.

Although he entered Jeffrey's body inexplicably at this moment, he could only witness what was happening in front of his eyes from the perspective of a bystander, and was unable to perform any activities.

He watched his hand pick up the glass and gulp down the viscous brown liquid in it.

Then a warm feeling came from the body, and Gu Xiuya heard a sound from his mouth.

"Your Excellency Matthews, do you think we still have a chance to complete the task assigned by the Patriarch?"

The middle-aged man was silent for a moment when he heard the words.

"...Honestly, I don't know."

He pulled a chair and sat down: "I had expected it before I came - if the facts are easy to handle, it will never be our turn."

"So even if the mission fails in the end, I can accept it..."

"I can not accept."

Jeffrey said decisively: "From the clues we have so far, the anchor of the Faceless God has indeed come to Galanz. The descendant of the original believer is now under our noses."

"As long as you give me a little more time, I will be able to find him, and then completely destroy the Beacon of Faith of the Faceless God in the heavy rain..."

"But today is the last day."

Matthews interrupted Jeffrey: "Time is running out, you have to learn to give up."

Jeffrey sneered: "Late harvest is better than nothing. You can give up, but I will continue to investigate."

"...fanaticism is driving you out of your mind, Geoffrey."

Matthews also turned cold: "Interfering with the subject of belief by distorting the legend requires an extremely precise channel. Although you have the same nature as the sacred object, you are not a destined person. You must rely on the anchor point to be destroyed at the right time. Only the power of distortion can complete this step."

"That's why the patriarch stipulated the task time, because only within the time limit, your contribution is meaningful."

"After today, even if you find that person and kill him, it won't help."
