Chapter 46 The Real Road to Heaven
Hui Yuan also walked out suspiciously.

But as soon as he took the first step outside, he felt a huge sense of strangeness.

Following his instinctive feeling, he looked upward, and then became sluggish for a moment.

As long as they are not blind, they will not think that they are on the same floor as before.Because there is a huge difference between the two.

——The sky is above the current theater.

Not only is the ceiling missing, to be precise, the theater building, which should have been at least five stories high, only has the first and second floors left.The walls on both sides go up and connect directly to the gray-blue sky.

Hui Yuan was stunned for a moment, and then realized another problem: If that's the case - then the stairs going up are also broken?

He retreated back into the stairwell, ran upwards, and then at the door of the landing platform on the next floor, he saw Zulu Aoi in the theater outside the door.

The staircase was not interrupted...or rather, it still looped into an endless path with no exit.

Zhe Lukui had obviously guessed what he had done a long time ago, and said with a non-surprised expression: "Don't use common sense to judge the ruling domain. You will gradually get used to it in the future."

"...Okay." Hui Yuanchu said helplessly.

He returned to the theater and began to explore this new layer with Oroku Aoi.

In fact, except for the missing zenith, everything else here looks pretty normal.only--

"Something...is gone."

Zhe Lukui hugged her shoulders, frowned and looked out of the hall.

Hui Yuan initially looked in the direction of her gaze and found that the sculptures and pool outside the door were missing.It's as if they didn't exist in the first place, replaced by flat floor tiles.

"It's not just these. Inside the theater, I remember that these locations originally had nameplates, decorative paintings, etc..." Orokuchi continued to glance around, thoughtfully, "Yes, there is even one less room here - although it is a theater A room that is not open.”

"So, what is going on?" Hui Yuanchu asked blankly.

Zorukui thought for a while and became calm again: "It's nothing. Originally, the lower level of this ruling domain was a disguise that copied the theater. And the upper level was the real Babel Tower... So when you climb up, the disguise is also there. Gradually being stripped away, this phenomenon makes sense.”

Hui Yuanchu nodded, understanding Zhe Lukui's meaning.

As they spoke, they walked up the stairs and arrived at the middle platform where they had just rested.

Hui Yuanchu noticed at a glance: the vending machine had disappeared.

However, because of Zhe Lukui's reminder earlier in the morning, he was already mentally prepared for this, but he was thinking about "it will be difficult to handle if he is a little thirsty now", while his eyes glanced at the vending machine The glass curtain wall next to the location...

Hui Yuanyuan's gaze suddenly came back, and then rushed to the front of the curtain wall in three steps and two steps in parallel, lying on the glass, staring outside.

The fog has dissipated, and there is clear blue sky outside the glass.

Then...a few tens of meters away, there is another theater building that is exactly the same.

Decoration, exterior walls, glass, and Huiyuan recognized all the familiar elements at a glance.And after he saw clearly the internal structure of the building opposite through the glass of the building opposite, his heart tightened even more.

The building opposite is not only the exterior wall, but even the interior structure is exactly the same as this one!Similarly, a large floor composed of two inner floors has a long main staircase that runs through the upper and lower inner floors. There is also a rest platform in the middle of the staircase, and even the sofas on the platform are exactly the same.

... No, Hui Yuanchu immediately realized that it was not exactly the same, but the complete opposite.

In a normal theater building, the foyer on the first floor is on the east side, and the theater lounge on the second floor is on the west side. The grand staircase runs through the two, and the glass curtain wall of the rest platform faces north.

But in the building opposite, there is a large staircase climbing from west to east, with a glass curtain wall facing south.

The building opposite is like the image on this side in the mirror.

However, Hui Yuanchu thought that he and Oroku Kui had determined that when creating each "layer" of this ruling domain, they only intercepted the first and second floors of the theater building as a blueprint.What about the opposite side?

Hui Yuanchu continued to raise his gaze and looked at the top of the theater mirror opposite, and then was stunned for a moment - the mirror opposite also only had the first and second floors, but the problem was that the top of the second floor was not cut directly, but another one. One layer... Countless first and second layers were built up repeatedly.Infinite superimposition, repeated elevation, and finally the huge building opposite is no longer a "theatre".It was a skyscraper whose roof could not be seen at all.

Moreover, the building is only visible through the glass curtain wall.

Hui Yuan's field of vision was limited. If he raised his head again, his line of sight would be blocked by the upper end of the glass curtain wall. Looking further up, he could only see the blue sky at this level.

But there is nothing in this sky, that skyscraper does not exist at all.

——"Don't use common sense to judge the ruling domain. You will gradually get used to it in the future."

Hui Yuanchu told himself this while avoiding the building opposite and looking in another direction.

Without the fog, he could now see far away - a vast land illuminated by the sun.

On the vast land, all you can see are hills and vegetation. There is no trace of any city, and you can even see a horizon.

Hui Yuanchu glanced at the distant land again, and suddenly felt that the relationship between the distance and the near in this scene was not right—why, this horizon...it seems to have an arc?
Although he couldn't see himself, he could look down the building opposite.

At this sight, he immediately took a breath of air - the lower part of the building extended downward almost endlessly.The lines on the left and right sides of the building also gradually shrink, and finally they are almost two sides of a triangle, and the vertices meet on the distant ground.

If you look out of the glass, you can only draw one conclusion - they are now at an altitude of who knows how many kilometers above the ground.

How many meters high is this building?Maybe from a distance, it looks like a thin line connecting heaven and earth?Hui Yuanchu couldn't help but think of this scene.

Moreover, if the building opposite is really a mirror image of the place where he is... Hui Yuanchu suddenly had a certain association.

Orilu Kui quietly stood beside him at some point, also staring at the strange reflection reflected in the glass.

"...Look over there." She said softly, pointing somewhere.

That's the building opposite, but it's not the same large floor as here, but a large floor lower, in the same position, with the glass next to the middle rest area...

Hui Yuanchu's vision froze.

He saw it—behind the piece of glass, on the sofa, lay the small book that Zhelu Kui left on the previous floor quietly.

……what happened?

Hui Yuan was a little confused in his mind.

Facing the building opposite, his first thought was that it was the mirror image of this side.But if it is a mirror image, it cannot explain why they only saw the mirror image of the building and did not see their own mirror image.

But if the opposite side is not a mirror image, what is going on with the book?

The only explanation seems to be... they came from the opposite side?

Zhe Lukui laughed: "That's it."

From the side of her face, there was no nervousness or shock. Instead, she looked curious and appreciative, as if she was looking at some kind of antique: "...Only such a ruling domain form is suitable for It must be named Babel Tower."

But the next moment, she seemed to have lost all interest. She turned around without a second glance and walked towards the top of the stairs: "Let's go."

Hui Yuanchu hurriedly asked, "Where are you going?"

"Tamari Yumiko has already said that this staircase is the ramp of the Tower of Babel." Orilu Aoi said slowly as she walked, "The problem is: the real ramp is a spiral upward path, or in other words, It is precisely because it is endless that it can go up. But the main staircase of the theater has a beginning and an end... so it will always stop at the second floor."

"It's missing a key."

"...But now we have determined it, haven't we? The west stairwell is the key. It connects the starting point and the end point of the main staircase of the theater, making up for the shortcomings of the main staircase, making it - —”

Zhe Lukui stopped at the top of the stairs, turned around, and pointed to the top, "The real road to heaven."
