ghost market

A short time later we found, indeed, an engraving very similar to that mark on a door.The two are basically the same in terms of graphic size and pattern layout, the only difference is the pattern inside the sharp corner of the triangle.

When I saw the mark just now, I thought that the sharp corners with complicated patterns were equivalent to arrows indicating the direction, but if you look at it according to this inference, the carving in front of you is a bit unbelievable.

This carved triangle has one point pointing straight up and the other two points pointing left and right, opposite to the previous mark.Oddly enough, each of its sharp corners is carved with patterns, and there are no vacant places.What does this mean?Does it mean that this room can lead to the top and left and right?Or, my guess just now was incorrect?

I frowned, stretched out my hand and pushed hard on the door, intending to check the situation in the room before talking about anything else.However, no matter how hard I tried, the door of my room did not move at all, and it did not open as I thought.This time I was even more confused, thinking that I might have found the wrong place, which is why the mark is so strange, so I wanted to give up here and try another door.

We were just about to leave, but Xiaoqian suddenly stopped, and then said to me on a whim, planning to try that little box again to see if it would work.I nodded, but didn't hold out much hope in my heart.After all, we tried almost all the doors when we were on the lower floor, but we still couldn't get any results. The possibility of new discoveries here is actually not very great.However, the experience of the past few months has made all of us have an extra habit, that is, to remind ourselves under any circumstances, and try not to ignore any possibility as much as possible.Because real opportunities are often hidden in unexpected places.

It's a good habit, I always think so.Now.I am no doubt more convinced of this.The reason was that the small square on the door reacted under Xiaoqian's finger, and as she touched it, the runes in the square immediately lit up with a faint red light.

The unexpected situation made us startled, and then immediately became excited, and Xiaoqian couldn't wait to start trying.Press the rune combination over and over again.However, as the number of experiments continued to increase, our initial excitement was gradually replaced by disappointment.Although the runes in the box can react, it doesn't mean that Xiaoqian can get the "open code" needed for this door.We are well aware of this, but the excitement brought about by the sudden discovery just now covered it up. Unfortunately, it is difficult to continue to cover up now.

Finally, Xiaoqian shook her head and sighed, then stopped her fingers.From her tightly twisted willow eyebrows and her tight pretty face.It is not difficult to see that she has fallen into a situation where she is completely helpless.I didn't speak, just smiled wryly and stroked her shoulder to show comfort, then I lifted my feet and walked to the next door, intending to continue this extremely irritating exploration.

Xiaoqian didn't move, her eyes were fixed on those tiny runes, thinking about something.I just wanted to call her, but she suddenly moved, stretched out her finger again and quickly pressed a group of runes in the small box.What is even more surprising is that her move has caused unexpected changes.

The red light in the small box suddenly brightened.The few runes touched by Xiaoqian did not return to their original shape as before, but miraculously slid in the red halo.In the blink of an eye, they gathered from all parts of the box to the center of the box, neatly arranged in a row.Immediately afterwards, a red line suddenly emerged from the center of the line of runes, and then rapidly extended to the left and right sides, and instantly connected to the edge of the door frame, as if cutting off the door at the middle. There was a soft "wow".The entire door was divided into upper and lower parts based on the red line in the center, and then each of them slid in opposite directions, and it was fully opened in an instant, exposing a wide doorway.

Xiaoqian was startled by the sudden opening of the door, and subconsciously took a step back.At this time, I also retreated to her side, and when I saw this, I quickly grabbed her arm, and pulled her quickly to the side of the door.After waiting silently for a while, there was no change in the opened door, and something strange rushed out of the door.Seeing that there was no danger, I poked my head out cautiously and looked into the door.

As soon as my gaze passed the doorway, I couldn't help but be taken aback by what I saw in my eyes.The space inside the door is very small, unbelievably small.I secretly estimated that this roughly rectangular room is probably less than two square meters.Its left and right width is at most about one meter, and its depth is slightly longer, but it will not exceed two meters.The height of the room is also very short, about [-] meters, which looks very depressing.I think it is more appropriate to say that this is a room than a larger wall cabinet.

Naturally, such a small space can be seen at a glance.The inner wall of the room is light yellow, and the surface is very flat, it looks like some kind of rock.The color of the ceiling and ground is much lighter than that of the walls, basically close to white.These two places are emitting pale white light. Although the brightness of the white light is not very strong, it is enough to illuminate the entire space.I looked carefully for a long time, but I still couldn't find where the light source was. I couldn't help but feel a little surprised, but I didn't pay much attention to it.And apart from these two slightly strange places, there was nothing else that could attract attention in this empty room.

I squatted down, stretched out my hand and pressed the floor of the room, only to find that this luminescent substance was very hard, and it felt a little cold to the touch, but it felt almost like a stone.Thinking of stones, I suddenly thought of the kind of slabs that can be suspended and lifted.Following this idea, I observed the ground again, and I found that if the faint white light is ignored, the material of the ground looks very similar to that kind of slate.

Could it be that this piece of ground can also be suspended and raised like those stone slabs? !If so, wouldn't this small room look like an elevator? !

The thought popped out of my mind so suddenly that I was taken aback.But what is even more incomprehensible to me is that I decided to give this absurd and weird idea a try.I even wondered if I was driven out of paranoia by successive strange encounters.

I dragged Xiaoqian into the small room, however.Except for the white light on the ceiling and the ground flickering a few times, nothing happened around us.Seeing this, I couldn't help laughing bitterly at myself, and then I planned to leave the room.At this moment, the white light in the room flashed a few times again, and the door that was divided into two parts was closed without warning.Immediately afterwards.The whole room rises upwards at an extremely fast speed.So the signs are all expressing a message - my wild guess turned out to be correct.

The strange situation made me and Xiaoqian stare wide-eyed, speechless.After a few seconds, though, we regained our composure and calmly waited for the room to stop moving.Too many strange encounters undoubtedly forged our nerves to be extremely tough. Although an "elevator" from ancient civilizations is magical, it is nothing compared to those things we have seen before, and it is far from enough to make us overwhelmed. level of surprise.In fact, my concern now is not how it works, but where it ends up stopping.If it takes us to a higher floor.That is undoubtedly a good thing for us.

It didn't take long for the answer to appear before our eyes.

As the white light in the room flickered a few times again, the unceasing sense of rising finally stopped, and the door in front of him quickly separated and opened.A circular corridor appeared in our sight. Its style was no different from those we had seen before, but the area was much smaller.Most importantly, the top of this corridor is no longer a raised space, but a dark golden stone wall.

Could it be.We got to the top? !

I hurriedly dragged Xiaoqian out of the room, rushed to the corridor and looked down.

That's right!We are now at the top of the tower.The vast and empty cone-shaped space in the sight is undoubtedly the best proof.

I was overjoyed immediately, and hurriedly looked around, hoping to see a certain teammate in my heart.After a few seconds, my expectation became a reality.However, this reality turned my joy into sadness and anger in an instant.Because what I saw was a dead body.

The corpse was dressed in a red robe.Lie face down on the ground in the corridor on the right.Although I rushed to his side as soon as I saw him, but for this person who had been dead for a long time, no matter how fast I was, it was meaningless.He was a warrior of the tribe of Elias, whose name I do not know.But I know what he looks like.There were several stab wounds on his body, the wounds were deep, and it seemed that he was killed by the enemy after a fierce struggle.I don't know when he died, but his corpse made me realize a serious problem immediately, and a name popped into my mind - Arslan!

The sacrificed Elias soldier in front of me was not the one with Uncle Carter and the others. Since Uncle Carter’s team was on the lower floor of me and Xiaoqian at the time, I could see their faces clearly. Confirm this.Then, he must be the one who escaped from the maze with Arslan. Since he was murdered here, then Arslan...

Before I could turn this idea around in my mind, I heard a faint sound in my ears, as if someone was fighting.I hurriedly stood up and quickly scanned the surroundings, trying my best to find the source of the sound, and then I saw a hand-wide gap in the door of the opposite corridor, and the sound seemed to come from there.

I immediately gestured to Xiaoqian, turned around and ran towards the door.When I came to the door, I flew up and kicked towards the door leaf. At the same time, I took a step back by virtue of the recoil, and bent down to prepare for the next attack.

The door suddenly opened with the sound of howling wind, revealing everything that was hidden behind the door.The first thing that came into sight was a stout body, which looked very much like the Arslan I was looking for.This body was lying on the ground motionless, not knowing whether it was dead or alive, and beside him stood a figure completely covered in a black robe.The man in black held a gleaming sharp blade in one hand, and held a struggling person in the other.To my horror, the person who kept struggling was my godfather Xing Zhong.
