Become a cat [Zhan Zhao]

That part of the road is very dark.

Alan followed the man in the cloak—the man who dragged her into the darkness, along the unknown rugged road, and went to an unknown direction in the pitch blackness.It seemed like she had no choice.There was silence all around, and the wind could not be heard a long time ago. They seemed to have left this world and arrived at a place like the underworld.

The silence was not pleasant.

Finally, Ah Lan couldn't help but speak, and she asked the person who didn't seem to have any malice towards her right now: "Where are we going?" Her voice seemed to echo in the darkness, and there were other voices called People are creepy.

"To meet the owner of the tower." The familiar yet unfamiliar voice replied calmly.More voices sounded in the darkness, like titters.

Perhaps the silence is not so unpleasant by comparison.

Ah Lan couldn't help but pursed her lips, and after a while, mustered up the courage to continue: "You said we are in the tower, I don't understand. We were originally in a tavern, why did we suddenly end up in the tower?"

The other party was silent for a long time, Alan thought he would not answer this question.However, he spoke after a long time and said: "A long time ago, the pagoda was just a pagoda. Later, the pagoda was a temple, or a Taoist temple." He seemed to turn his head, and seemed to be looking at Ah Lan with those black eyes in the dark, " Now, the tower is a town."

"I... don't know what you're talking about." Ah Lan tried hard to see the other party's face hidden in the darkness, but only caught the flash of those eyes.

The sniggering sounded again, as if something in the dark had been watching them and taking pleasure in it from time to time.

"The tower is growing, and it is located under the human world." The other party even opened his mouth to explain, "We are below at the moment. I pulled you below."

A Lan couldn't help shivering: "Under the world? You mean the underworld? You mean we are dead?" After all, only the dead can go under the underworld, right?

"I'm dead," said the man, "you're still alive."

Alan didn't really breathe a sigh of relief, but a layer of goosebumps appeared on his back.She folded her arms and rubbed them vigorously, and couldn't help muttering: "The owner of the tower, the person who wanted to see me, also passed away?"

"No." Unexpectedly, the man replied, "General... I mean the owner of the tower, she is still alive. Although she is not alive like you, I think she is barely alive."

Alan couldn't help laughing, then blushed and muttered, "Sorry, I didn't mean to make fun of that general."

"It's really ridiculous." The man sighed, "Half-dead may be more terrifying than a clean death."

Alan couldn't help thinking: Although you said you were dead, after all you can still talk, walk, and pull living people from the world to the world—although your hands are cold, you really look like a dead person —Then are you also half dead?After all, the dead should stay in the coffin honestly, shouldn't they.

The man stopped suddenly, and just when Ah Lan thought that he had just accidentally said the offensive thought and aroused the other party's disgust, the other party suddenly said in a low voice: "Come here."

"What?" Before Alan could finish speaking, that cold hand grabbed her again, pulling Alan very close to her.She staggered, tripped over her boots, and nearly fell headfirst.

There was silence all around, the whispers and titters that had been heard occasionally disappeared, and the only sound left was A Lan's slightly trembling breathing.

"In the end..." Ah Lan lowered his voice, and just as he spoke, he felt a strong wind blowing towards them from a very close place.The person next to Ah Lan pushed her away, and with a "choke", he didn't know what weapon he used to block the blow.Alan rolled on the ground, pulled out the stick stuck in his back, and listened intently to the strong wind when the two in front fought.It's too dark here, Alan doesn't know how they see things clearly, if someone sneaks up on her right now, Alan doesn't know if he can fight back.

It's just who is fighting on the other side?With a certain magical feeling, Alan knew that the man was not Zhan Zhao.The sound of the blade cutting through the air didn't sound like a sword, but... a knife.

There was a "clang", another loud bang, and the two who were fighting were briefly separated for a moment.

"Who are you? Why did you go to the tower?"

"What do you think?" the attacker replied.And Ah Lan almost couldn't hold back his mouth - this person, this person turned out to be Xing Zhongyu!How could it be him?If it's him... is He Lian here too?

Just as this thought crossed Alan's mind, a cold and soft hand quietly grabbed her, and that familiar voice whispered in her ear: "Alan, come with me."

It's He Lian, it's really He Lian.she is alive!

Alan gritted her teeth and followed He Lian to flee quickly in another direction. An indistinct voice came from behind: "Alan, come back! Come back!"

And for a moment, Ah Lan felt that the voice belonged to Zhan Zhao for some reason.

But soon, all the voices were left behind by them.After running in the dark for a while, Ah Lan's eyes even caught a glimmer of light.

And He Lian has been very silent, except for talking to her at the very beginning, she has kept silent.Ah Lan couldn't help lowering her voice and said, "Sister He Lian?"

"En." He Lian's pale skin was already faintly discernible in the gradually brightening environment. She turned her head, her eyes were big and dark, "Alan, are you okay?"

Alan nodded. Although their footsteps did not stop, they had already slowed down.He Lian panted slightly, and said, "You guys are too risky to come directly into the tower. Here, not to mention General Nightmare, even Qingjiu is enough for us to deal with."

"You know this is a pagoda?" A Lan was surprised, "Brother and I... I mean Master, he didn't even know this was a pagoda. Master said he came here seven or eight years ago. That's fine."

He Lian said hoarsely: "This damn place has been expanding its territory. At first it was just an underground tower in the forest. Later, strange things began to happen in the surrounding forests, and the hunters moved away or disappeared one after another. Later, It's Luo Zhen."

"How do you know?" Ah Lan still couldn't help asking, she still remembered what happened in the East China Sea, but she didn't forget the night attack in the north.At that time, He Lian was controlled by something... Is she okay now?

He Lian's eyelashes trembled slightly, and she said: "Since we separated from you in Hanshi's territory, Zhongyu and I have returned to the East China Sea." She raised her eyes and said in a low voice, "Master is missing."

"Missing?" Ah Lan was taken aback, suddenly thinking of Chen Yin.

He Lian nodded slightly: "She left the island without leaving any news. Because of this, Zhongyu and I began to investigate Hanshi, Chenyin, Mengmai and Master, and wanted to find Master."

"You, you know that Master Chen Yin has..." A Lan asked cautiously.

He Lian looked at A Lan with those pitch-black eyes, and said in a low voice: "I know. Master Chen was in trouble." She lowered her eyes as she spoke.

Something flashed through Ah Lan's mind, but he didn't catch it.She was silent for a moment, then asked He Lian: "Are you okay? I mean, when we parted last time, you looked very bad."

"Half dead." A sneering smile appeared on the corner of He Lian's mouth, but a shadow passed over his face.

Ah Lan couldn't help but trembled when she heard this word again in a short time, she held He Lian's hand tightly, but didn't know what to say.At this moment, the sound of extremely low footsteps sounded behind him, if it wasn't for the silence around him, it would be impossible to hear it.Alan gripped the stick tightly and turned her head, but He Lian said in a low voice, "Zhongyu."

"He Lian." Panting slightly, Xing Zhongyu stepped forward to hug He Lian and hugged her briefly.

A Lan's ears couldn't help but feel hot, and she turned her head slightly.

Xing Zhongyu looked at her and greeted her coldly: "Miss Alan."

"Master Xing." Ah Lan said in a nasty voice, and then remembered that Xing Zhongyu probably didn't like being called Mr. Xing at the moment.

Xing Zhongyu didn't express his dislike clearly, but he was not too happy. He glanced around and said, "This place should be very close to the real tower."

"The real tower?" Alan raised his eyebrows, "Aren't we already in the tower?"

He Lian explained: "That is the place where the tower is assimilated, and the tower has an origin. We need to go there."

"Where are you going?" Alan asked in surprise, "Shouldn't we leave?" Now she urgently wants to find Zhan Zhao.Will he be plotted against?Does he know where he is?

Xing Zhongyu said briefly: "Zhanzhao is also in the Pagoda."

"I'm going to find him." Alan clenched the long stick in his hand and looked at the two people opposite.

He Lian looked up at Xing Zhongyu, and then said to Ah Lan: "I think Mr. Zhan must be looking for you too. That person before, Qingjiu, is just going to take you to the real tower to meet General Nightmare."

"Qingjiu?" Ah Lan suddenly realized why the name sounded so familiar. She had seen the man under the cloak talking to Chen Yin in a dream. He happened to have the same name as Zhan Zhao's deceased brother...and he hadn't long As I said before, he is dead.

Alan said blankly, "Qingjiu is Zhan Zhao's elder brother?"

"Huh?" He Lian frowned slightly, "What did you say?"

Alan shook her head vigorously, and suddenly regretted telling the story, she shook her head and said, "It's nothing. I, I made a mistake."

However, Xing Zhongyu and He Lian looked at each other, obviously they didn't feel that A Lan was really mistaken.Finally Xing Zhongyu said: "If you want to find Zhan Zhao, the best way is to enter the tower with us. And this time we are in the dark and they are in the light. If you say no, you can still help Zhan Zhao a lot."

Allan's heart skipped a beat.
