"Fifteenth floor, naturally!"
"We're selling dumplings! Newly made dumplings! Pork, green onions, fragrant cabbage, and shrimp!"
Everything is so unreal, yet so real.
After Liu Nan passed through the light gate, he unexpectedly came to a market. There was a constant flow of pedestrians around, and no one noticed his sudden appearance.
Looking back, it is also a market. There are shops and stalls on both sides, selling all kinds of things, including food, entertainment, and even a brothel.
"G-give me a bowl of dumplings!" Liu Nan said tremblingly, fearing that they would suddenly turn into man-eating devils.
"Okay, sir, what kind of stuffing do you want?"
“Pork and green onions!”
"A bowl of pork and green onions!"
Sitting uneasily on the wooden bench, looking at the hot dumplings in front of her, Liu Nan had a lot of thoughts. These seemingly real people had a deep sense of intimacy for some reason. Maybe they were stuck in this "hell" After a long time, anyone will feel happy.
Liu Nan was still scared. Although he didn't know how much time had passed, it was always several years. After such a long time, he didn't know if Leng Luanan was safe now.
Perhaps she had already been killed?
Liu Nan didn't even dare to think about it. With tears in his eyes, he put a dumpling into his mouth. It was a little hot, but for Liu Nan who hadn't eaten anything for such a long time, this was not a problem.
The taste is very good, very delicious, seems to be real dumplings?
Will there be a market here? Are these people real or fake? Do they know they are in "hell"?
Isn't this simple? Find someone to ask?
“Boss, how much is it??”
"money??"
"Yeah, how much does this bowl of Chaos cost?"
"What money? What is money??"
After hearing Liu Nan's question, the hawker, who was moving smoothly, stiffened and paused. He seemed to have forgotten something. He tried hard to remember, but couldn't remember anything.
"If you don't want money, what do you want? Free food??"
"This, this shouldn't be free, but why can't I remember what I want! Forget it, go away and don't bother me!"
"There is indeed a problem!!!"
None of the people here seem to be real people. Although they look similar, it is impossible for people anywhere to not know what money is!
Liu Nan walked along the road of the market several times and found that the market was not big and connected from end to end. If you walked forward from any place in the market, you could go back. The entire market was a big circle, and there were no The road to somewhere else.
Liu Nan wanted to jump up to the room to see what kind of space this was, but suddenly found that he couldn't jump at all. He didn't even have a trace of strength in his body, and he couldn't feel any "qi"!
It seems like this is a place where power is completely shielded.
Liu Nan wanted to climb up the house, but a gentle force pushed him back to prevent him from looking? ? The Light Gate is hidden in this market? ?
A month passed. Liu Nan searched the entire market and searched all the shops, but could not find Guangmen. All the people doing business here provided services for free. They took things freely and did not know what money was. His reaction They were all just like those selling Chaos, and there was no one to stop Liu Nan from rummaging around. Each shop was small, with only two or three rooms, and they were all about things related to his buying and selling, nothing unusual.
What is nature? What does this have to do with nature? ?
Human nature? A natural person? ?
Liu Nan calmed down and thought about the name of this layer, but found nothing.
A month has passed. Liu Nan has been around the market countless times. He has memorized the transactions of each house. He has eaten chaos, eaten pork elbows, eaten beef, played with kites, practiced tricks, and even gone shopping. I visited a brothel but didn't do much.
Where is the light gate? ?
Liu Nan felt like he was going crazy. When everyone spoke to him in this place, within three sentences, he would end up saying: "Leave me alone, just leave!"
do not bother me! What's the secret to clearing the level? How come everyone knows?
Another month passed and still nothing was found.
Another month passed and still nothing was found.
Another month passed and still nothing was found.
Liu Nan was really going crazy. Facing a group of stupid people in this place, a strange feeling gradually arose in her heart. Could it be that I was like them, just passively doing things designed by others? I didn't know. , the things you think of are all put in your mind by others.
Liu Nan was frightened by his novel idea. Could he be one of them? Or is he a member of the outside world, passively doing things that have already been decided? ?
In such an atmosphere, Liu Nan began to think wildly, and sometimes even thought that all this was a scam, and that what he did was nothing more than entertainment for others. In essence, he was no different from the people in this market. The "market" it belongs to is just bigger.
"Is this the law of heaven and earth? Is this what 'he' wants to tell me? To make me give up?"
No, wait!
Just before Liu Nan completely fell into madness, he thought of a question: These people in the market are waiting for people like him to come, so who is the "market" in Kyushu waiting for? Or yourself? ?
Liu Nan kept thinking about every detail of his fall into "hell". It would be too exaggerated to say that all of this was just entertainment. "He" couldn't be just for fun. "He" must have something to accomplish by himself. If "he" needs help from others, then he cannot be one of these stupid people. If he is, then he can just do it directly. Why go around in circles like this? ?
Or is saving her just a setting? ?
So what if it violates this setting? No, she must be saved!
Saving her is a setting. Why not set it so that she is safe? Why save it yourself?
What's the point of setting her up to be in danger, and then setting herself up to save her? Just for fun?
What if there are two "hes"?
One setting is that she is in danger, and the other setting is that he will save her?
A game between two sides? ?
The purpose of the game? ?
Any other bets? ?
Use heaven and earth as a chessboard and all living beings as chess pieces? ?
What about yourself? car? horse? elephant? scholar? Or abandoned?
Who is the general?
Who is the chess player? ? "who is he?
This place is definitely not hell!
This is more like a training ground, a training ground for people to become stronger.
Who has such great power that can make people fall into the sea of fire without dying?
Is this a place where people can suffer all kinds of hardships without getting hurt? Traveling through space, creating things out of thin air, and creating this market, who else can do it?
god! ! ! ! ! !
Only God! ! ! !
“He” is God, what else can’t be done and do we need to help Him? ?
"He" has an opponent, one or more very powerful opponents, and someone must help him, otherwise it will be difficult to win.
If you can control life and death, what other opponent can you have? What is the opponent going to do?
Liu Nan completely blocked out all the noise around him, and he felt that he was about to find the answer.
"He" created all this to help him become stronger, how could he know that he would definitely help "him"? ?
Do we have a common goal? ? Save Leng Luanan? ? no no! It is not easy to destroy the Rakshasa Cult with "his" ability.
Wait, Rakshasa Cult? Want to kill her! I want to save her!
Rakshasa Cult! Rakshasa Cult!
Another guy who plays chess? people? No, it must not be a human being!
god? Why kill people?
Confrontation between gods? One good and one bad?
or……………………
Or is there more than one person who created all this, and there are many "him" and "their" enemies? Our enemy?
The common enemy of gods and humans, monsters? It's those monsters! ! !
"I understand, I understand, God created this place to make people stronger and work with them to deal with one or more unknown monsters!"
Liu Nan thought of the biggest possibility and said it excitedly, regardless of the feelings of the people around him. Anyway, they were just "people" in the setting.
Sure enough, the people around him didn't seem to hear him and kept doing whatever they were supposed to do.
However, an old man who was playing with stones on the ground suddenly looked at Liu Nan with wide eyes: "What did you say?"
Although the voice was not loud, it seemed very abrupt in this already very familiar market. With a shudder, Liu Nan looked in the direction of the old man.
"Are you asking me??"
"Nonsense, who else can I ask?"
Liu Nan did not answer in a hurry. Instead, he was on guard and stared at the old man. This was the first person in the strict sense that he met when he fell here, a seemingly normal real person!
"What? You still want to do something?" The old man laughed and threw away the stone in his hand, sitting cross-legged and looking at him.
It seems that he is really a person! ! !
"S-Senior, I mean this is a place created by God. In order to deal with the common enemy, could you be 'him'?"
"No, this is hell. If you want to get out, you have to go through eighteen sins of suffering!"
The old man looked at Liu Nan with a serious look, even with a hint of cruelty, a hint of anger that was about to explode.
Liu Nan raised his eyebrows but smiled. For some reason, the person in front of him gave him a very cordial feeling without any hostility. A sudden surge of confidence surged into his heart. At this moment, he had changed. He didn't know why he had changed. , and he doesn’t know what has changed, but he is very sure that he is no longer the same person a moment ago. He has taken many more steps than others, and he knows more inside information than others. He is not from an organization or a sect. , not for the world, but for the whole world.
"Then why are you talking to me? I've been here for so long and you haven't said a word. Why are you so surprised when you hear what I just said??"
"Haha, the little baby is so smart!" The old man smiled widely, revealing a few scattered teeth in his mouth, and not much hair left. It seemed a bit wretched and weird to ordinary people, but in Liu Nan's eyes, it was He was so kind that he even wet his eyes uncontrollably.
"How old are you?"
"This junior is thirty this year!"
"What did you learn in the first few floors??"
"Everything in the world seems to be made of "qi", and there is much smaller "qi" than the air that ordinary people breathe!"
"Well, that's right. Everything in the world is made of "Qi". If you want to become stronger and reach the peak, you must practice "Qi". This is true for both humans and gods. If you keep going, you may be able to become a warrior in the future. At least you can still resist them!"
"They? Who are they? They can actually be enemies of God!" Liu Nan couldn't help but ask when he saw that the old man seemed very depressed and his tone was heavy.
"You don't need to know about them now. Maybe you can't guess it with your intelligence. All you need to know now is to practice hard and become stronger. Otherwise, there will be no place for human beings in the entire world!"
"How could it be possible? Senior you are here and there are gods. Even if we are defeated, how could it be..."
The old man looked at Liu Nan with a solemn expression, as if hesitating, not knowing whether to say something or not.
"us……………………"
"Huhu, I am no longer here, and so are they. We are defeated! They don't know when they will come. By then, the human race will have to rely on themselves. Maybe, you can still escape!"
"What!!!!!"
Liu Nan's heart was filled with turmoil. The old man was gone, and so were they. What did it mean that they had lost? The old man was not talking about himself, but about them. No one was left. ? All gods? ?
"You, you, you mean all the gods??"
The two looked at each other, and the old man nodded helplessly.
Liu Nan was confused. How could humans compete with enemies that even gods couldn't fight against? The gods who created this place could make people immortal, but couldn't defeat them?
They are gone and they can kill the immortal god! ! !
fear! Real fear! Unimaginable fear! Unknown and irresistible enemies bring boundless fear!
"But...this..." Liu Nan didn't know what to say.
"We created this place just to make you stronger and give you a chance to survive. Well, time is running out. It's time for you to continue on your way!"
"This floor?"
