The girl stumbled and ran into the stairs leading away from the rooftop. When she entered the stairs, she looked back and glanced at the child lying on the rooftop, but it was just a glance. She turned and ran away, never looking back.
Rumble…
The thunder was rolling and the rain was pouring.
The heavy rain and cold wind battered the child, and his skin gradually lost its warmth. His eyes opened and closed, and the time between them became longer and longer. This is a prelude to the decline of body functions, about to fall into dormancy or even death.
But just when the child was about to freeze to death, a man wearing a raincoat appeared on the rooftop. The man was tall and burly, and he held a compass in his hand.
Crack!
A bolt of lightning struck, lighting up the night sky.
The man's face appeared under the light of lightning. It was an extremely familiar face, that of his father Xia Changhe.
"Found it, found it!" Dad murmured to himself. He picked up the child, his hands shaking with excitement...
That child is Xia Lei.
Xia Lei suddenly understood. But there was one thing he couldn't figure out, that was, his father obviously didn't look at the girl. The hallucination in front of me is like a memory, so where does it come from
And the answer to this question that he couldn't figure out seemed obvious: his own brain. Memory, since it is memory, must be stored in the brain. However, he was just a newly born child at that time, and it was impossible for his brain to retain any memory! What's more, after so many years, he didn't recall it at all. Why did it appear after coming here
Just as he was thinking, all the illusions disappeared.
His vision was dark and he couldn't see anything.
"Oops! Could it be that the energy field has been activated again?" Xia Lei felt nervous and looked back. Sure enough, he could no longer see what he could see in between. The energy field activated again, trapping him like a pot lid-shaped cage!
Looking back, there is no way out.
Xia Lei was about to continue climbing up, but he suddenly realized that not only could he not see the place behind him, he could not even see the stone slab in front of him!
The stone slab in front of him was only one meter away from him, but he couldn't see it. This was simply unimaginable to him!
The darkness seemed to suddenly escalate. This space was like a bottle of ink, and he was in this bottle of ink. Every inch of space here is dark, and it's so dark that you can't even see your fingers. This darkness even gave him a feeling of substance, like a real substance, not just darkness without light.
Immediately afterwards, the dark energy field made new movements. The number of prime ministers here increased little by little. As the gravity increased, Xia Lei clearly felt the pressure on his bones. His bones were rustling, as if they were about to break at any moment.
Gravity continues to increase, and warm water boils the frog.
"Poof!" A mouthful of blood spurted out of Xia Lei's mouth, and blood streamed from his nostrils and ears. At this time, he felt extremely painful, not only his bones, but also his internal organs. Like his bones, his internal organs seemed to be broken at any time!
"Is this my deadline?" Xia Lei's mind became increasingly drowsy. Such a thought came to his mind, and he felt bitter in his heart.
In this little time, if it weren't for the brand power energy in his body resisting external forces, he would have been crushed into a puddle of meat at this time!
Gravity is still increasing, pressuring everything in this space.
Xia Lei felt more and more painful, and his situation became more and more dangerous. On the line between life and death, faces emerged in his mind. Dad Xia Changhe’s face, Xia Xue’s face, Long Bing’s face, Shentu Tianyin’s face, Liang Siyao’s face, Fanfan’s face, Jiang Ruyi’s face, Tang Yuyan’s face, as well as Liang Jiayu, Xia Long, Xia Fan, Xia Jianghe, Xia Dawang, Xia Yang, Xia Yue...
Each of these faces represents a person he loves most, and each face is also a tie that he cannot let go of.
"Ah-" Xia Lei roared angrily, he was not willing to die inexplicably like this! He was unwilling to leave his wife and children like this!
But even the strongest roar and crazy rage are of no avail. The gravity of this space continues to increase.
For a time, he felt that his bones were really broken, his internal organs were about to burst, and his brain was on the verge of coma, and he might lose consciousness at any time...
The thin line between life and death.
Suddenly, a soft fluorescent light emitted from the satchel on his body. It is very weak, but even a little bit of light is very conspicuous in this absolutely dark space, like the ray of light that pierces the darkness before dawn.
When this little bit of light appeared, the gravity on Xia Lei's body receded like a tide. His bones no longer creaked, his internal organs no longer tangled, and all the pain in his body was gone.
Xia Lei's eyes moved to the satchel. He almost didn't need to open it to look at it, or even think about it. He knew what the light was emitting.
The light transmitted from the satchel is pure and flawless, with an emerald-like texture. This kind of light can only be found in crystal skulls.
The crystal skull seemed to save him at this most critical moment.
The light from the crystal skull continued to emanate from the satchel, and the soft and pure light slowly enveloped him. It felt like Xia Lei was the source of the light, not him.
After returning from the dead, Xia Lei suppressed the excitement in his heart, opened his satchel, and took out the crystal skull.
The light from the crystal skull spreads to farther areas, and the darkness ceases wherever it passes. The suffocating gravity also disappeared, receding like the tide.
The slate that was invisible just now appeared again, and not only the slate appeared, Xia Lei's sight could finally see farther away.
This suspended stone road was actually not as long as he imagined. It was only about a hundred stairs long and no more than a hundred meters long.
At the end of the suspended stone road, there is a stone mountain rising from the ground, and there is a building on the top of the stone mountain. It was hidden in the darkness and difficult to see clearly, but judging from its outline, it was very broad and seemed to be a majestic palace.
The stone mountain rising from the ground, the majestic palace built on the top of the stone mountain, and the suspended sky road leading to the palace, all of them look so unreal, it feels like they are in a movie within, rather than the real world.
But what standards should the real world have
There are never any standards.
Even if there are any standards, they are just standards specified by human beings based on their own culture and feelings. Even creatures on the same planet would not agree with such standards. Take insects as an example. In their eyes, humans are skyscraper giants! A tree is also a city!
Xia Lei didn't dwell too much on the authenticity of everything in front of him.
Is the building on the stone mountain the hometown of Cascia Ruiz? He has been on earth even longer than humans have been on this planet. If these are all written by him, it is not a strange thing.
Xia Lei continued to climb up while holding the crystal skull. The crystal skull gave him confidence and courage. Now that he has come here, he must make an end!
Step by step, Xia Lei approached the building step by step. The closer he got to the building, the light emanating from the crystal skull began to dispel the darkness near the building. When he stood at the end of the suspended stone road, the true appearance of the building came into his sight at a glance.
Very unique architectural style.
All the buildings are in the shape of cubes, some are big, some are small, some are high and some are low. The first impression is like a three-dimensional model drawn by a computer. All the buildings are stacked on the top of the stone mountain, forming an oval shape. They seem chaotic, but if you look closely, you will find the rules. They are like a vortex, a vortex with distinct layers.
Circle after circle of cubic buildings rotated toward the center.
All the buildings are black, so it's a black vortex.
Xia Lei's sight passed through the cube buildings and came to the center of the cube building complex. A huge cube building came into his sight. It is larger than all the buildings in the black vortex, and it is extremely majestic. But judging from its shape, it looks like the cup on the motherboard.
After this illusion was created, a new visual illusion was also created, that is, the building complex on the top of the stone mountain is like an oval main board.
Is this the architectural style of the world of Cascia Ruiz and Isitabu
Or, is it something else
The observation was turned off, and Xia Lei's eyes returned to his eyes again. Right in front of him, not far away, was an arched stone door. However, it is not made of complete stones, but is made of strips of stones piled up one after another. There is no cement or clay between the stones, nothing, but the stones are connected together very stably, forming a majestic stone gate dozens of meters high and dozens of meters wide!
Xia Lei looked away, no longer hesitating, and stepped hard on the stone slab. His whole body was like an arrow shot out, crossing the last space of about ten meters and landing on the top of the stone mountain. .
Stone Mountain is real.
Xia Lei's eyes were locked on the arched stone door, and without hesitation, he stepped towards the arched door.
The crystal skull quietly exuded brilliance in his hand, soft and pure. It is like a lantern in Xia Lei's hands, and Xia Lei is the guide to the underworld with a lantern in the underworld.
But what he attracted was not other people's souls, but his own.
