Chapter 1695 The Giant Door
Not long after, the passage turned upward, and a turbid light appeared in front. Alice took the lead at the front, walking up the wide stairs, and a towering door appeared in front of her.
The turbid light came from the painted glass window on the door. It was not very bright, but it guided their arrival in the darkness.
Pushing open the creaking door. The door looks very heavy, but it is relatively easy to push open. After Alice walked through the door with her hand on her dagger, the sunlight from the high window on the right shone warmly on her body. This is a wide porch. The ground is full of residual bricks, gravel, and collapsed columns. There is some grass growing between the bricks. It turns out to be an abandoned building. Some of the glass in the high window was broken and covered with accumulated dust. The soft wind from outside blew in and lifted the thin gauze curtain under the window.
The gauze curtains are very broken. It may not be long before they are completely damaged and rotten, but it may never happen. Alice's boots walked on the patchwork of bricks as big as a palm. Opposite the porch was a high door with a round spire.
"What is this place?"
Such a place suddenly appeared at the end of the dark passage, and everyone had a question mark in their hearts. But the sunshine and gentle breeze that came through gave them hope of going out. Lucas anxiously jumped up to the high window and saw the vast desert scene outside. He turned around excitedly: "We can go out!"
Others jumped up one after another, and he was the first one. He jumped out of the window, but when he jumped into the air, he was pushed back by a strong wind and fell back to the porch.
“What’s wrong?”
“Lucas~!” Jennifer jumped out of the high window and helped him up.
Lucas said in pain: "Outside... there is a strong wind outside, we can't get out."
Qiu Ya didn't believe it, it looked very peaceful outside, so she stepped out with all her strength and jumped out of the window, but she met Lu Like Cass, he was bounced back by an invisible strange wind, slammed back into the porch, and fell to the ground.
Everyone’s expressions couldn’t help but change. Looking from the high window, they saw that the distance from the ground was not high, only about a few dozen meters. With their strength, there would be no danger at all if they jumped, but the wind outside But it blocked their thoughts.
"I'll try again." Shitou, who had never talked much before, was also eager to get out. He climbed on the edge of the tall building and moved out of the window, trying to slide down against the outer wall of the tall building, but there was no visible sign outside. It was like a feeling, and it immediately became violent. The stone clung to the edge of the window, unable to move, and the strong wind outside almost swept him away.
Alice reacted quickly and quickly grabbed his armor: "Quick, come and help!"
"Help me...save me, I...I can't move..." Shitou yelled with difficulty. He was like a colorful flag in a ten-level wind, and he didn't know where he would be blown at any time. He raised his head hard and suddenly saw that this building was majestic and endlessly high, as if it went straight into the clouds and heaven, standing in the vast wind and sand.
With the help of several people, the stone was finally dragged back by force. Shitou lay on the ground and took a breath, then told them what he saw outside. Everyone was stunned when they learned that they were in such a building.
“Could it be that we are in the rumored Tower of Babel?” Juya found it hard not to think so through the stone’s description. There have never been many legends about the Tower of Babel in the desert, but the term 'Tower of Babel' has always existed only in legends.
"The question is how did we get in here?"
Lucas said: "Is this really our illusion?" Alice suspected: "There will be Will the collective illusion of the same consciousness be created through spiritual influence? Or are you all an illusion? ”
"Hey, you can't make such a joke, we are all serious... No, I must be real, you..." A companion looked at everyone in surprise, and he began to question himself He loses the ability to judge what he sees and hears, and cannot determine whether the person he sees is his hallucination or reality.
“Wait, wait, wait.” Although Jennifer was also shocked and had white hair on her forehead, she tried to stabilize everyone: “We have been together since we entered the cave and have never been separated. So. It must be true for all of us."
"Is that true?" someone expressed his suspicion. Doubt: "It was true that we came in and out for five minutes at a time before, but this time it lasted more than five minutes. Maybe... what we saw in front of us was no longer real."
Lucas guessed more darkly. : "Maybe it was already distorted last time we came in."
Everyone was shocked when they heard this. He would tend to think that the situation in front of him was an illusion, based on Ruola's experience on Beiwangpo, where he also had abnormal vomiting. But when Ruola disappeared for no reason, they began to doubt the authenticity of what they saw. They must have had the same experience as Alice's master Bing Zhixie. It's hard not to think so. It is even believed that the hallucination is uncertain when it occurred. If it's the latter, the situation will be even more dire.
Alice said: "Let's not make random guesses first. Whether you are my imagination or everything in front of you is everyone's illusion, just treat us all as real and we have to continue now. Move forward."
"Why not go back?" Shitou said.
Alice said: "I don't think we can get out. To find out what is going on here, the only way is to move forward."
Jennifer nodded: "I agree with Ellie According to Si's judgment, don't forget how we carried Tosi Xiong and Shakhan out of the cave. Maybe the real us are also lying in the cave now, or have been carried out by others. If it really exists.”
Everyone continued to walk along the long porch, and when they reached the end of the porch and passed through the huge door, there was another extremely long porch, but the direction of the porch changed a bit.
They walked for who knows how long and came to a very, very huge, very grand door. They couldn't tell exactly how huge the door was. It could be several kilometers wide, or even dozens of kilometers wide. They walked along the porch to the center of the door. The doors on the left and right were closed, with only a small crack in the middle.
Actually, this long corridor has not gone very far. There is another door in the distance, just like the several long corridor doorways that we have passed before. But they felt that the giant door in front of them was the right way, because based on the turns they made each time they passed through the door, they should have circled half a circle around this huge building and now reached the main entrance of the building.
Entering through the main entrance, the interior is extremely empty. I don’t know how high my head is. I feel like an ant falling into an empty well.
