Chapter 644 The Infinite Penrose Staircase
Da…da…da…
The crisp footsteps sounded continuously in the pitch-dark world, but no echoes could be sent back again. The deep and thick darkness seemed to completely engulf all the sounds and light.
There seems to be nothing in this completely imperceptible space. In the extremely dim illumination range, there is only a stone staircase at the feet of the five-person squid that can’t see where it comes from or where it goes.
Here is the [Clock Tower] Fourth Layer where the Adventure Squad came to after the Third Layer achieved all confluence.
Like many mystic things, the structure of this [clock tower] also uses the most magical number “seven”, with a total of 7th Layer from outside to inside. Moreover, the progressive space keeps getting bigger and bigger, and the strength of strength also as the tide rises, the boat floats.
After the first three explorations, the deepest place that latecomers can advance to is the Sixth Layer, but no one has ever stepped into the Seventh Layer, let alone what treasure is hidden there.
It’s just that the transcender’s various means can vaguely sense its existence.
According to the notes obtained by Gerros, the location of the [Ocean Treasure·Ancient Scroll] is located in a certain space on the Sixth Layer “the sea in the tower – the eye of the giant”.
“Alwin, are we just going all the way up? Why do I feel like we’ve gone so long?”
Anita, who was in charge of the formation at the end of the team, suddenly spoke with a voice It’s obviously close to the ear, but in this special environment, it seems to be far away, which makes people feel a serious sense of dislocation.
Especially Alwin and An Qi feel as if they have returned to the “Forgotten Desert” in [Netherworld], and the depressing atmosphere where even their own heartbeat can be heard clearly makes people a little irritable.
But Alwin didn’t know how to answer the elder sister’s question.
One is that in the dark, human instinct will drive itself up, not down. The second is. Taking a look at Milan walking by his side, he can only trust the judgment of this professional “prophet”.
Before that, whether it was [Illumination], [Low Frequency Pulse], or even the [spirit strength field] of the great wizard, or the [Space Perception] of the Eternal Sky Dragon, any detection method could not The boundary of the order spreads out.
And every time Alwin has the idea of flying to find the boundary of this space, a huge sense of fear will make him repress it, obediently and honestly leading the team to walk in this space. Two columns of carriage run parallel to the stone steps.
This should be the specific rules that have started to appear since entering the Fourth Layer of the core layer. At least under the suppression of the [Clock Tower], which is essentially equivalent to Demi-God, almost no one can resist.
Suddenly.
When Alwin used the “data-based vision” to accurately measure the travel distance of his entire group and walked for almost ten kilometers, a new change finally appeared ahead.
“That’s a corner!”
Olivia’s tone was faintly excited. In this depressed atmosphere, any new changes are enough to make people excited .
However, at the moment of seeing the corner, Milan, who was second in the marching formation, suddenly drew his gun, and the revolver [Black Steel] roared furiously like a wild beast.
Bang!
At the same time, a strange thing that looked a little like a big dog and a little like a mutant lizard suddenly jumped out of the 90° corner, and it happened to be blasted by the powerful bullet of formidable power. dog head.
After instinctively shooting the opponent, a trace of consternation appeared on Milan’s face.
“Isn’t it? Are these guys chasing here??”
But this is just the beginning.
At that corner, “Daros Dog Demons” kept jumping out of the void, and each one just appeared, regardless of others, and went straight to Milan.
wang wang wang .
It is like a tide going forward and backward, Alwin standing at the front of the queue is facing the curious head like the petals, the sharp canine teeth, the long dripping The saliva is felt most strongly on the tongue.
I doubt that all the dog demons in the entire [Clock Tower] have been madly killed here. What kind of hatred is this?
He didn’t hesitate, took a step forward and waved his hand suddenly.
Wow—!
Using the power of the “Tyrant Dragon”, a terrifying storm suddenly swept up, and the “Darros Dog Demon” that kept jumping out of the corner flew into the darkness under the stone steps.
I can’t hear the sound of landing for a long time.
“Quick, let’s rush over!”
It wasn’t until the Squad was led away from the corner and out of the sensing range of the “Daros Dog Demon” that the situation gradually subsided.
At this time, Alwin couldn’t help but set his eyes on Milan:
“How did you do it, did you rob someone else’s wife?”
Milan coughed twice with some guilty guilt:
“Probably, probably, almost.
When I was on the second layer, I was on the water, and there is no less than 120 degrees. Corner; barely lingering after meeting at the Third Layer. Although there is a warning in the spirituality, I didn’t expect them to cross several spaces and directly chase them here.”
He said At the same time, he took out a magic book from the magic pocket, with a huge mechanical dial on the surface.
I then slowly opened the catalogue of the book under the light of Illumination, explaining:
“I don’t know why I get this tricky thing after clearing the level. Thing!”
The other three wizards in the team came together at the same time, and after seeing what was written in the catalogue, they couldn’t help but exclaimed collectively: “This is the inheritance of the ‘Clock Tower School’. Magic Book???”
before.
From “The Wandering Mysterious Source: Clock Tower”, they have long known that the “Prophecy School” has a high probability of inheriting part of the knowledge of the “Clock Tower School” (Chapter 635).
In addition to the ability of the “Clock Tower School” to travel up and down the long river of history, the “All-Seeing Eye” was established to abandon most of the attacking witchcraft and only use it to spy on the source of mysterious present and future.
That meaning is the same as the “Life Tree School” presupposed a greatly simplified [Crown of Miracles] before the final mysterious source [Life Tree].
This should be the main reason why Milan volunteered to sign up after knowing the expedition destination.
Up to now, the “Prophecy School” is even more widely distributed than the “Alchemy School”, and almost every country on the continent has their silhouettes.
Compared with the “Gem School”, which also has great influence on the continent, the “Prophecy School” already has the fourth rank crown wizard, and at the critical moment, it has been able to pay the price to borrow the mysterious source “All-seeing”. The power of the Eye”.
In addition, this “Clock Tower School” inheritance magic book “Echoes of Time and Space” also solidifies a universal witchcraft [Space Springboard], so far Milan is no longer the weak chicken it once was. , but a very weak chicken that can run.
The survivability is greatly improved.
The most important point is that under the premise that all members of the “Clock Tower” school have died, this magic book may be a precious opportunity to inherit the greatest legacy of the wizard world! Enough to make people ascending to the skies with a single leap!
But the premise is to first understand why the “Clock Tower School” has clearly completed the “mysterious source” representation, why did it fail in the final fusion stage? Also devoured all sect members.
If you don’t understand this, rashly embarking on this path is probably the end of a lamb in a tiger’s den.
Especially under the control of the [Clock Tower], the front foot just sent out the precious inheritance magic book, which is one of the foundations of the school, and the back foot sent the “Daros dog” that can keep jumping in various spaces. “The devil” chases after him, which simply doesn’t make sense in principle.
Unless, the diametrically opposed actions are simply two wills!
After helping Milan temporarily analyze the current situation, Alwin patted his shoulder:
“The situation is not clear, put it away for now, two birds in the forest are worse than one in the forest. Hand, wait until we get out of here. But from now on, everyone should pay attention to the angle of less than 120° to prevent being attacked by the ‘Daros Dog Demon’.”
“Okay.”
At this time.
After walking through the first corner, there seems to be some kind of turning point in this space.
zhi zhi zhi .
There are louder and louder insects that start to ring in the darkness around the stairs. And as they kept going up, the sound started getting louder and louder.
As Alwin stared at the stairway beneath him that continued upwards into the darkness as if it had no beginning and no end, Alwin couldn’t help but think of a theory – “the Impossible Penrose Staircase”.
This theory says that four staircases are connected by four corners, but each staircase is directed upwards, so it can be extended indefinitely. But that kind of thing can only fall on two-dimensional paper, and it is impossible to exist in the conventional three-dimensional world.
But in the [Clock Tower], which focuses on space-time research, it may not be impossible to achieve.
It just gives Alwin the feeling that they are not going up or down in the conventional sense, but have been striding forward towards a deeper Dark Space.
Actually walking in another dimension outside the three-dimensional world.
Soon.
As if to confirm Alwin’s guess, when they walked through four 90° corners, they eliminated several waves of “Daros Dog Demons” that jumped out because they felt the breath of Milan. should have returned to their original starting point.
What appeared in front of them was still a long stone staircase that was constantly rising and had no end in sight.
zhi zhi zhi .
At this point, it seems that the two parallel lines finally meet. The frantic sound of insects broke through a layer of invisible and intangible diaphragm, and it has been flying from far to near from the darkness.
gē gē gē .
Led by tall beetles with human skull-like heads and bipedal arms, a swarm of grotesquely shaped insects surged from the darkness on either side of the stairs. Come out and follow a path invisible to humans up this rocky staircase without any branches.
It seems that there is actually a huge worm cellar under this continuous ladder.
In Alwin’s point of view, the angular bone carapace on the four-armed bugman has several points of vision of a human being wearing a powered outer skeleton. It was as if the [Integrated Circuits] that he had harvested earlier were contaminated with chitin, and he had traveled from the future to the present.
Actually at this time.
After synthesizing everyone’s experiences, they have realized that the [Clock Tower] is very likely to have encountered some unknown pollution, and the high probability is related to the insect.
Because as they continue to advance to the inner layer of the [clock tower], the First Layer, Second Layer, Third Layer and now the Fourth Layer, this strange pollution has become more and more obvious, and the grotesquely shaped looks are getting more and more The curious insects are emerging one after another.
The secret behind it is put aside for now.
The major event they are going to do now is – killing insects!
Standing on both ends of the line, Alwin and Anita, the peak battle strength of the two third rank, opened their mouths at the same time.
Boom—
