Extreme Demon

The Songxin Pagoda is embedded in an ancient gray-yellow wall and surrounded by narrow lanes.

In the evening, the red sunset light shone in, completely dyeing half of the alley red. Also dye the door frame gray red.

Lu Sheng took a deep breath and glanced to the side. He saw a group of black-skinned rats fighting for food scraps beside the garbage pile. They seemed to be some kind of fish bones that had been chewed clean.

Hiss.

Several mice were immediately frightened by Lu Sheng's gaze and fled in all directions.

Lu Sheng withdrew his gaze and glanced at the entrance of Songxin Tower in front of him. Except for the entrance of a door, there is no trace of this so-called Songxin Tower.

"Do you want to go in? If you don't want to go in, please give way." Just as Lu Sheng was observing the surroundings and preparing to seriously consider how to enter.

A cold, hoarse female voice came from behind.

Lu Sheng turned around and saw two men and women in different clothes standing behind him.

An old maid who looked like an ordinary helper from a wealthy family. She looked about forty years old.

The other man was in his teens at most. His blue shorts were embroidered with plum blossoms, and there were all kinds of plum blossoms. He looked neither male nor female, quite handsome, but he also had a sense of embarrassment and downfall.

The two of them stood behind Lu Sheng, one behind the other.

"Please do it." Lu Sheng gave way.

Anyone can enter Songxin Pagoda, regardless of age, status, or identity.

The old woman strode past Lu Sheng and walked into the gate of Songxin Pagoda without hesitation.

After that, the handsome man stood in front of the door and hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and stepped in.

Lu Sheng was not in a hurry to go in. He recalled the information about Songxin Pagoda that he had collected during this period.

There are countless types of tests and tests in this Songxin Tower, and the patterns are never repeated. I don’t know what the operating mechanism is.

But all Songxin Pagodas have one thing in common, that is, they can accurately screen out talents with good qualifications, good willpower, and values ​​similar to those in Libra City.

Lu Sheng stood in front of the door of Songxin Pagoda. He didn't go in. He just kept glaring at the others who entered.

The door here is only for entry and exit. The moment everyone enters, they can see subtle black ripples rippling inside the door.

"There is no energy response, and there is no mechanism sound. It seems that there is no statistical pattern in the Songxin Tower." Almost everyone Lu Sheng saw here had made all kinds of preparations before striding into the Songxin Tower. .

Some people carry large bags, some travel lightly, some carry a mess of small accessories, and some even bring wild beast companions.

After observing for more than two hours, Lu Sheng found nothing. After thinking for a moment, he stood up.

He walked to the door.

The gate of Songxin Pagoda is over three meters high and more than one meter wide. There are no patterns on the frame, only a small line of text carvings like inscriptions on the top.

Lu Sheng checked it and found that the text was not in Eru language, nor any other language he knew.

"Since I can't find a pattern, I can only try it myself."

Lu Sheng held on to the frame and took a sudden step forward.

Chi.

As if penetrating a layer of soap bubbles, a soft and moist film slid over his body.

Lu Sheng's eyes flashed, and then he passed through the door frame completely.

The bustle and bustle of the neighborhood suddenly fell silent and disappeared without a trace.

What appeared in front of him was an alley exactly like the one before entering.

The only difference is that the alley here is empty.

The walls on both sides remain mottled gray from the years, and some corners have even peeled off, revealing the deep gray interior of the wall.

Lu Sheng patted his gray robe. His current dress was no different from that of an ordinary scholar on the street.

He wears a gray robe that covers his knees, white trousers, and small brown leather boots. He has a dark blue baggage tied around his body and a small black gourd hanging around his waist.

Hanging small gourds is a characteristic of this Libra city, which means praying for peace and auspiciousness.

The only difference was that Lu Sheng's hair was cut short by himself, turning it into a rare short hair.

After standing in the alley and observing for a while, Lu Sheng vaguely realized that this alley seemed to have existed for a long time.

He walked to the entrance of the alley and touched the exposed dents and scratches on the wall.

The scratches seemed to have been made by some kind of sharp claws.

A trace of demonic energy penetrated from the scratches, and the corrosion rate was very slow.

"It has been corrupted for at least thousands of years," Lu Sheng concluded in his mind.

Walking out of the alley, there is an empty, quiet and messy street outside.

The shops on both sides of the street are empty. Looking from a distance, through the windows, you can still see thick dust accumulating on some product shelves. There were a lot of gravels scattered on the ground, as well as some unknown black powder.

"Here." Lu Sheng frowned. He had just come from the neighborhood of Libra City. This place was very similar to the neighborhood, but it also had a strange and ancient atmosphere.

The subtle structures in many places are also different.

A hazy mist floated on the street, and a slight cold breeze penetrated the entire neighborhood.

Lu Sheng slowly walked to a shop and looked inside.

This is a pastry-like shop with porcelain plates for pastries on the table and a metal board that looks like a menu.

"What are you testing? Your courage?" Lu Sheng frowned and walked slowly into the store.

"Who!" Suddenly a nervous female voice came from the dark curtain at the innermost part of the store.

Lu Sheng's eyes moved over. His soul hadn't sensed that there was anyone here before, but he didn't expect that there was a sudden sound.

There seems to be something interfering with perception in this place.

There was darkness inside the gray-black door curtain, and even with Lu Sheng's eyesight, he couldn't tell what was inside.

"Who's there!" The female voice sounded again.

"Can I help you?" Lu Sheng was silent for a moment, then spoke slowly.

The other party was speaking in Eraser with a bit of a strange sound, and he could understand it.

"Really? Can you really help me?" the woman asked hurriedly.

"If your request is not too difficult, I think it is okay." Lu Sheng said calmly.

The woman was silent for a moment, then began to speak out her request.

"Here. This city suddenly became like this one day. There was no warning. I was still in the mill buying the flour I needed. It's a pity." The woman spoke slowly with a little sob.

"My husband. When I came back, I suddenly found that my husband had some weird changes."

"It's weird, a change that scares me!"

"So, I would like to ask you to go deep into the center of the city and bring back my husband who is hiding there.

Please also tell him, Nana. Nana has been waiting for him here. I don’t care what he becomes.” After the female voice finished speaking, she slowly fell silent.

"I'll bring it to you." Lu Sheng narrowed his eyes and turned to leave.

After leaving the store, he glanced at the other stores. He was afraid that many stores on the street were hiding similar incidents.

After calming down, Lu Sheng vaguely felt that this place did not seem to be built by Libra City, but more likely that they used this place as a test site.

As for possible dangers, if you want to gain anything, you will naturally face corresponding risks and costs.

After leaving the pastry shop, Lu Sheng walked straight through the neighborhood and headed towards the center of the city. After crossing a few streets, he quickly entered a small garden square.

The square is surrounded by entry and exit streets leading to various neighborhoods, and in the middle stands a huge black behemoth with a metallic luster.

The monster was waving its eight arms, turning its bare head 360 degrees, and looking around.

The monster's upper body is a human, and its lower body is a huge sphere. Its movements are entirely dependent on the rolling of the ball, and it makes heavy rumbling sounds from time to time.

As soon as Lu Sheng stepped into the square, he was spotted by this huge creature that was more than ten meters tall.

This guy's two black eyes glanced over like lanterns, staring at Lu Sheng.

"If you want to pass here, you must answer me a question." The monster's voice was as low as thunder, and the rumble continued to echo over the square.

"What's the problem?" Lu Sheng's soul reached out and carefully touched the surrounding environment.

A lot of this gray mist was absorbed as soon as the soul came into contact with it. The stone tiles on the ground also have some inexplicable blocking effect.

"There are many people who answer questions here, but there are very few answers that satisfy me." The monster said solemnly, "If your answer makes me dissatisfied within fifty breaths, then I will eat you." , waiting for the next one.”

"I understand. Please tell me." Lu Sheng nodded.

He probably understood what kind of character this monster was. It should be one of the tasks specially set up here to block the testers.

The monster shook his head.

"My question is, can you count how many arms I have?"

He shook his long hands and made a slight vibration sound. The arms were waving in the air, and there was a constant roar.

Lu Sheng counted them carefully.

"Eight arms." He answered seriously.

"Are you sure? Look more carefully!" the monster continued to ask.

Lu Sheng hesitated and counted again.

".So four arms?" He felt that half of the monster's eight hands seemed to be hands, not much like arms.

"Are you really sure?" The monster waved his arms faster and faster, and his six arms were slowly becoming translucent and invisible.

"So... two?" Lu Sheng felt a little unsure again.

"Look again!?" Two more arms popped out of the monster and waved wildly.

Suddenly and suddenly.

The whistling sound of waving arms became more intense.

"Shijo?"

"Look again?" Two more arms popped out and split from the monster's body.

"Rokujo?"

"Look again?" Four new arms joined the monster's side and began to wave.

"Ten items?" Lu Sheng's face was expressionless.

"Hahahaha, sorry, guess" Boom! ! !

There was a loud explosion.

Lu Sheng moved forward like lightning and punched. In just a moment, one of his arms was inserted into the monster's head, and a large number of cracks spread rapidly from his palm to the monster's body.

"Yes, I guessed it right." Lu Sheng's expression remained unchanged as he slowly took out his hand.

"Don't ask such stupid questions next time." He jumped forward slightly and landed on the ground.

A large number of black metal fragments continued to fall behind him, hitting the square ground with a loud noise.
