Monument of Life and Death

  Chapter 213 Puppet

   "Just... what was that?" Er Yue hesitated to ask Xiang Fengtang.

   "Perhaps you awakened with strength," Maple Sugar said, "Or maybe..."

   "What is it?" February and March looked at the maple syrup.

  Maple syrup thought for a while, but still swallowed the remaining half of the sentence into his stomach.

   "It's nothing, it's not suitable to stay here for a long time, let's fast into the tower."

  Speaking, Maple Sugar twisted and stepped into the long dim steps ahead.

  The **** of the staircase is very gentle, and it is pressed tightly by the low roof. Crossing this staircase is the real bottom of the tower.

  The stairs are very long, and you can't see the end at a glance. You can only see the dim light flickering at the far end of the line of sight.

  The stairs and the walls of the passage are the same as the bricks of the black tower, dark and hard, as if something is imprisoned.

  The more you go in, the dimmer the light.

Not far in front of   , a faint yellow light spot appeared.

  The three approached.

   is a wall lamp.

  The wall lamp is inlaid on the wall, and the branch-shaped lamp holder that stretches arbitrarily has a copper-yellow luster. Upon closer inspection, it looks like a withered human hand is extending from the wall.

  In his hand, there is a white candle with tears.

  For some reason, seeing this wall lamp, the three of them couldn't help but get goose bumps. Looking back, they had already gone so far.

The entrance to    is no longer visible.

  The exit is also ambiguous.

   "Why is it so long here?" Frowning asked after looking back and forth in February.

  Maple syrup stared at the direction of the entrance, "How long have we been in?"

  Look at the watch in March, "It was four-fifteen when we came out of the woods, and now it is...four-two? How could it be possible?"

  February’s face changed instantly.

   "We...we have been walking for at least half an hour, 4:22, it's almost time for us to step into this staircase."

  Time.

stopped.

   "Maple sugar...this...have you seen it?..." San Yue looked at Maple Sugar and his brother in a panic.

  The maple syrup was still staring at the dim yellow in the entrance.

   "What did you find?" Er Yue looked at Maple Sugar's eyes.

"Although the **** here is very gentle, when you look at the exit, you can at least see the light coming from uphill. Think about it this way, the light from the entrance should come from below," said Maple Sugar, pointing towards the entrance." Now you see, where we come, is the light above or below?"

  ***

  The woods outside the tower square.

  A large group of people are hiding here this time.

   "Is there no one?" Xiaoyin grabbed the binoculars and looked around.

   "It's impossible to have no one," Jasmine said solemnly, "Give it to me... or you can show it to me."

   Xiaoyin handed the telescope over, and Jasmine craned her neck to look hard, but she didn't see why.

   "How is it possible? Even if the figure hides, the spiritual tide can't hide it."

  "Could it be an empty city?" The fool said cleverly.

   "No," Xiaolan didn't know when he took the telescope, and said while watching, "Look, there is still something on the ground of the square."

  "Something?"

  A few careless guys saw the slender feather arrows scattered all over the huge square.

   "Is this... an arrow?"

   "There must be someone hiding in the dark," Luo Jiutian also started earnestly, "Even if they use some methods of hiding powers, it is very difficult to not expose them at all."

   Xiaolan looked at Luo Jiutian.

"what do you mean……"

   "Now they may be able to hide perfectly, but once they start attacking, psionic energy will definitely appear."

   "Well, it makes sense..." Xiaolan nodded thoughtfully, "So we need a bait."

  Everyone looked at Xiaolan at the same time.

   "Look at what I do?"

   "I think you make sense," the fool nodded sincerely, "I didn't even think of this. It must be Xiaolan, really worthy of being the smartest kid in our team..."

   "Well, I was not convinced before, but now I am convinced." Jasmine also said.

   "I have told you how good Xiaolan is, but you don't believe it." Xiaoyin shook his head pretending to be disappointed.

  This group of people.

   "Xiao Lan," the Taoist chief also said with a smile, "I have always trusted you."

  In the matter of choosing who to die, the opinions of several people have reached a high degree of unity.

  Of course, except for the parties themselves.

  Xiaolan tightened her jacket and belt, and looked back, several people stood neatly in a row, and the atmosphere suddenly became solemn.

   "I have no problem with asking me to be a bait, but can you not make the atmosphere like a dead body farewell."

   Xiaoyin hugged the pink rabbit and walked over to pat Xiaolan's shoulder, "Don't worry, I will take care of the rabbit."

  Is it a mistake? Why does this rabbit nod his head?

   There was movement in his pocket, Xiaolan looked down, and Heipi was creeping out. Seeing Xiaolan saw it, he quickly stood still and pretended to die.

   "Don't think about it."

   Xiaolan grabbed the black leather and stuffed it back deep into his pocket.

  Take a deep breath, Xiaolan, like rushing to the execution ground, takes a heavy step toward the empty square.

  The memories of the Bell Tower Square came to mind.

  Meng Fuling.

  I'm looking for you, Meng Fuling.

  I'm here to kill you, Meng Fuling.

   "Xiaolan," when Xiaolan was about to walk out of the forest, the Taoist chief called her, "Don't worry."

  The square is ring-shaped. There is no extra thing on the square. It only spreads around the central tower. There are no traces of living things around. Xiaolan seems to step into an unknown territory.

  Looking far, walking farther.

   Xiaolan deliberately walked slowly.

  The enemy couldn't hold back anymore, and finally, obliquely behind, a flying arrow pierced the wind.

   When Xiaolan turned around to avoid the arrow, she saw a golden light flashing in mid-air, and something fell to the ground.

   hurried over.

   is the Taoist talisman paper.

  The golden light has not dissipated, the edge of the rune paper shimmers slightly, and there seems to be something underneath it.

   Xiaolan gently twisted a corner of the talisman paper.

"Ok?"

  A puppet.

  This puppet is very rough, the limbs are not even symmetrical, and only two black dots are carved on the small head as eyes.

  The only thing worth noting is the black rope tied around the puppet’s neck.

   Xiaolan stretched out her hand and tried to touch the black rope, but the black rope strangled her neck as if it had merged with a puppet just one second before it touched her.

   is just an ordinary puppet.

  The black rope becomes a faint black mark floating on the surface of the puppet’s neck.

  Is this puppet who attacked yourself?

  There was another cold current behind him.

   Xiaolan rolled away on the spot, and the sharp arrow hit her where she was just now.

  A blue light flashed.

  The blue light exploded in mid-air, and the fragments crackled and fell.

  Puppet pieces.

  When Xiaolan watched, the fragmented puppet had been burnt.

  There are more flying arrows.

  Golden light and blue light alternately appeared, and from time to time, there was a blade-like light bursting into the sky, directly splitting the puppet in half.

  You just need to avoid it seriously.

  The secret of the puppet, the secret of everything.

   is right in front of the black tower.
