Gu Hankong checked the wristband first, and she found that although the newly added panel was still there, the labels and red lines that could have been seen were gone.

It was as if time had been frozen forever, or in other words, she had been off the death list the moment she reached this ladder.

She reached out and took down the letter, opened it, there were no other words inside, only a wavy symbol was drawn at the very center.

What does it mean?

Gu Hankong folded and put away the letter, and when he looked up again, the crow in front of him had disappeared.

The clock outside the wall struck again.

At five o'clock in the morning, with the sound of the bell, Gu Hankong felt that his ears seemed to have auditory hallucinations, and there was the sound of water slapping and rushing, and it was getting closer.Even the entire staircase began to vibrate.

— It doesn’t seem like an auditory hallucination.

Because when I looked up, there were drops of water falling from above.Gu Hankong only thought for a second, and then the huge flood rushed towards her with a force of destruction.

Gu Hankong quickly put Xiao Hei away to avoid being scattered.The next moment, his body rushed down the stairs following the water waves.

Gu Hankong was tossing and turning in the water, occasionally coming out of the water to catch his breath.The rushing water poured into her lungs, almost suffocating her. She couldn't hold onto anything to stabilize her body, so she could only drift with the water.

When she was almost overwhelmed by the burning suffocation, Gu Hankong felt that the water finally disappeared, and she was lying on the mud that was not yet dry on the river bed.

He coughed violently a few times, and when he raised his head, he couldn't believe what he saw.

The pitch-black space seemed to have entered the barrier again.But what is different is that there are several birdcages lined up above the barrier like stars.

The hollow design and the glimmer of light reflected from the skeleton of the birdcage allowed Gu Hankong to vaguely see what was inside.

There were human stumps and various human organs. What attracted Gu Hankong's attention most was a beating heart far away from the highest place.

She doubted very much that the contents of these cages were the lost parts of the children.

Gu Hankong stood up, her whole body was already dirty, but she didn't care about these now, and walked towards her desired goal.

The mud under the feet sticks to the soles, and every step I take feels like a pair of black hands are pulling on the shoes.

How was she going to fly up and take it down?As he got closer, Gu Hankong found that there was a huge black tree in front of him, and the birdcage above it was actually hanging on its black, almost invisible treetop.

The crow's letter is probably the symbol that guided her to come here. There are waves on it, so she was washed down by the water.

However, the whole space seems to be completely closed, and I don't know if other people will come over, and how long this place will exist.

"Little black."

Gu Hankong released Xiao Hei again.Since there is a tree, Xiao Hei should be able to climb up and get things down.

Xiao Hei nimbly jumped up the tree.Following Gu Hankong's will, he climbed up a thin branch, got the birdcage with the heart in it, and walked back quickly.

"Wait, take that ear back too." Gu Hankong ordered.Her luck was really good, so many people climbed the stairs desperately, she just picked up a letter and was automatically delivered to the target point.

Gu Hankong breathed a sigh of relief, before he could catch his breath, two vertical lines of light suddenly lit up beside her, illuminating her.

She vigilantly followed the light and turned her head back, and found that the black tree she thought was a dead tree had weird yellow pupils lit up at the trunk, and the searchlight-like eyes were staring at her tightly, with a crack under the eyes. The huge gap opened and closed like a mouth.

An old voice sounded: "We meet again."

It sounded familiar, but Gu Hankong couldn't remember who this person was for a moment.She looked at Xiao Hei who was suddenly entangled by unknown vines in mid-air, and asked a little anxiously, "Who are you?"

The tree demon didn't answer this question, but said calmly and forcefully: "You can't take two birdcages from me, you can only take one. A greedy person can only get nothing in the end."

Gu Hankong gritted his teeth, "Okay, just one, let him go first."

Almost at the same time as the voice fell, Xiao Hei regained his freedom, but Gu Hankong was really not sure what to do under the eyes of the tree demon, so he had to hang his heart back.

Looking at the trembling and beating heart on the tree as if silently seducing her, Gu Hankong felt extremely painful.But it's best to wait for Xie Xuan to recover before making the next step. Otherwise, even if he survives today, he still doesn't know if he can catch his breath tomorrow.

During this, Gu Hankong kept looking at the big tree vigilantly, he didn't do anything to stop him right now, Xiao Hei smoothly took down the birdcage and handed it to Gu Hankong.

Gu Hankong quickly put the things into the storage bracelet.

"Do you know how to get out?"

She asked once out of luck.The big tree didn't know when it had already closed its eyes, as if it was just an ordinary big tree.

Gu Hankong looked at the birdcages swaying with the breeze above his head, and for a moment he really wanted to take them all down and take them away.

She shook her head but still didn't do that.Walking along the river bed to the other end, I don't know how big this space is, if you really can't find the exit, Gu Hankong will try to use the boundary speed.

Of course, it was a last resort, all the mutilated limbs are here, and it will be a big trouble if you damage the things in the birdcage with the super speed of the boundary...

Just now Gu Hankong counted the birdcages on it, and he obviously felt that there were not enough of them. There was only one copy of everything. If the person who came first got it, then the person who arrived later would not be able to get it.

There will inevitably be competition.

Because of concerns in my heart, I had to make a more cautious decision.

After a while, Gu Hankong saw a crow suddenly appearing on the ground in front of him.

This time there was no letter in its mouth, the crow hovered above Gu Hankong's head, Gu Hankong stretched out his hand, it jumped down, and pecked at Gu Hankong's finger.

The surrounding scenery began to change and distort. Gu Hankong felt dizzy for a while, and couldn't help but stretch out his hand to rest his forehead. When the dizziness disappeared, she found that she had appeared on the stairs.

"Another hallucination?"

Gu Hankong found that there were no crows around him, and the steps on the ground were completely free of traces of moisture.But when she opened the bracelet and saw that the birdcage was still inside, and her ears were quietly floating in the air of the birdcage, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Good thing it wasn't a hallucination.

Next, she just needs to find Xie Xuan and give this thing to him.

I don't know what special meaning there is in keeping these mutilated limbs in cages.

Gu Hankong used the communicator to contact again.

This time I dialed. It seems that I couldn't hear Xie Xuan's words before. It was because the two were in different spaces. The orphanage was one, and the bell tower was another.

"It's me." It was Xie Xuan's voice, and his tone seemed to be fine. "The signal has not been connected before, did you also enter the clock tower?"

Gu Hankong could only make phone calls.But unable to communicate with Xie Xuan on the phone, she could only silently nod in agreement.

"I've been walking for a long time, and I haven't met anyone. I can't find the top of the bell tower even with my mental strength extension." Xie Xuan said lightly, "But don't worry, I'm safe here. Find the missing part of the body before it's over."

Gu Hankong frowned, Xie Xuan's tone was not quite right, she clearly remembered that the bell tower outside had just struck five o'clock, even if it was delayed by entering another space, it would not be too long, the mission would not be until 24 o'clock tonight In the end, why did Xie Xuan focus on time?

Immediately afterwards, Gu Hankong heard the sound of the bell ringing, not from her side, but from Xie Xuan's side.

One sound after another, the continuous vibration has been entwined with the echo.

Gu Hankong held his breath and listened to the voice in the communicator beep 22 times.

Xie Xuan's time is different from hers.He has reached a certain point in the future, while Gu Hankong is still in the past.

He has lost too much time.But Gu Hankong found that he couldn't communicate with him at all.

She was a little panicked, could it be that in the past time, Xie Xuan had missed the crow many times, but luckily she had already taken out her ears, otherwise Xie Xuan's time schedule would not have been able to get it even if it arrived.

Could it be that, in fact, the crow needs to kill a quester on the stairs to see it. The reason why Xie Xuan has never met the crow is because he has never met other questers?

In the end how to do?

Gu Hankong looked at the cage in the bracelet and Xie Xuan's voice in the earphone, and lost his mind for a moment.

She could only mark some places on the wall and the ground as she walked, hoping that Xie Xuan could see her reminder.

This is just an ideal situation. The two of them are separated by more than ten hours. The time period between them is not the blank time of other people, and all things may happen.

The mark was agreed upon by the two people earlier, as long as it still exists, Gu Hankong believes that he will be able to recognize it.

Just when Gu Hankong was at a loss what to do, suddenly there was a crawling sound behind him.She instantly remembered that dream, turned her head vigilantly, and released Xiao Hei as soon as there was a situation.

The one who climbed up was not the fat man who could fly, but Ming Xuan.

His body was still that small, and his legs became a drag. When going up the stairs, he first used his hands to support his body and walked up one step, and then moved his legs up one by one.His face was dirty, his blond hair was disheveled, and his body was written all over with weakness and helplessness.

"Mingxuan?" Gu Hankong couldn't help calling out.

Ming Xuan raised his head, his expression was a little flustered and cramped, but in the end it was frozen in surprise. He seemed to be talking to himself and said, "I knew you must be alive."

"Are you okay." Gu Hankong quickly helped him up, picked him up and put him against the wall.

"Fortunately, I was here when I woke up. I don't know who locked me in a black belt. It took me a lot of energy to escape."

It seems that she has been in a coma for too long, Mingxuan struggled out of the black bag by himself, this is not something glorious after all, Gu Hankong blushed, and changed the subject.

"Don't worry, you won't be hunted down by the god of death here, you should take a rest first."

Gu Hankong found that her hearing had become more sensitive, she could now accurately hear the rustling sound slowly approaching from the bottom of the stairs, it was the texture of plastic liquid.

He stood up and looked down the stairs.

It was the fat man, who once wanted to eat Gu Hankong, but now he lost his legs as in her dream, and could only struggle to crawl upwards.

In the same scene as in the dream, although Gu Hankong was a little uneasy, her eyes lit up, and the appearance of a tasker meant that things had turned for the better, and she affixed invisibility charms to both of them.

"Do you want to walk with two legs?" Gu Hankong smiled with the corners of his mouth raised.

Mingxuan's eyes flashed with complicated expressions, as if he guessed what she was going to do, he moved his lips and said, "Be careful."

Gu Hankong is ready, just waiting for this person to come up.After all, her heart disease was not too serious. If Ming Xuan could recover, he wouldn't be able to put so much effort in hoping for the protection of others.

Reach that space again—as long as you leave a signal there, you can be sure to be seen by Xie Xuan.
