Therefore, the sewage pipe in this high tower is a very rare place where no "last wishes" are installed.
In order to prevent dirt from clogging, this pipe is designed to be thick enough to accommodate a relatively thin "adult" to facilitate future maintenance.
After making up his mind, Zhang Ming came to a place similar to a bathroom. There were a lot of squatting-like things installed here, as well as flush toilets. The Azurite people actually have some simple technological systems that can be solved with technology. There is really no need to use precious "last wishes".
This series of settings naturally gave Zhang Ming an opportunity. He took a deep breath and his heartbeat accelerated violently: "Winning or losing depends on this..."
"As long as I succeed, I can go directly to the top!"
Take out the ice spear and slash it lightly.
There was a soft "click" sound, and a crack was opened in the squatting pit, exposing the dark sewage pipe. There was no light inside, as if it led to an endless dark space.
"Very good, the tower's defense mechanism was not triggered..."
Zhang Ming felt nervous that he had committed a crime. After all, he was a good and law-abiding citizen. Where had he ever done such a robbery thing?
The psychological pressure came up all of a sudden.
Then he used his hands to face the hole and made a few strokes.
"This pipeline is narrower than expected... After all these years, it doesn't stink at all." Lao Zhang comforted himself.
"There is no smell at all, even the flesh on the corpse has been corroded by bacteria, and the urine and feces have long been decomposed."
He slowly used his "lignification" ability, and the water in the cells was squeezed out bit by bit. After a while, there was a puddle of water on the ground.
Zhang Ming himself was like a zombie that had been drained of water. His body had lost a lot of weight, wood fibers appeared on the surface of his skin, and even his pants almost fell off.
"Tsk, tsk." Seeing his current appearance, Shimama made a strange sound.
Lao Zhang quickly tightened his belt to maintain his image as a superior person.
This ability was originally used for swimming, but now it is used to "slim down". It is really a miracle on earth!
"Now I can just crawl in."
"Shimama, can you carry this backpack? I can't get into this narrow passage with my backpack on. In this situation, my combat effectiveness is probably less than 30 to 50%." Zhang Ming's voice was hoarse. After becoming lignified, even the ability to move has been greatly reduced.
Shimama trembled. How can I carry a backpack for you in this state?
Zhang Ming took a rope and tied Shimama.
And... tie me up again?
The black stone trembled slightly.
He tied the other end of the rope to the backpack. The backpack weighed about thirty kilograms, not too heavy.
"Okay, can't you resist gravity? Use this rope to pull the backpack and slowly climb up with me."
Shimama looked at Lao Zhang and got into the dark squatting cave. She reluctantly pulled her backpack and got in as well.
Because there was a large circle of rope wrapped around his body, it was very difficult to roll on the wall.
It suddenly had an idea: Wait, since there is a rope, Mr. Zhang can also pull up the backpack himself! Why should I come?
I, Shimama-sama, am very tired to pull such a big backpack...!
…
…
Although Zhang Ming's body has become lignified and his mobility has decreased a lot, he can still crawl very fast due to his super high attributes.
While recalling the structure of the "Pillar of Heaven", he estimated his climbing height and advanced through the twists and turns of the pipe.
Since the bottom is connected to the sea, moist water vapor is constantly transferred in, and the air in the pipe is quite humid.
The walls were covered with things like fungi and moss, which were smooth and cold to the touch.
Occasionally, you can touch some soft-bodied bugs, which will burst into flesh at the slightest touch.
This sticky feeling made Goosebumps all over Lao Zhang's body, but he had to bite the bullet and continue upward.
In the dark and narrow space, only the source of the world on the chest bloomed with a faint fluorescence, bringing a sense of security.
"This dark, narrow, and smelly world is too scary. Shimama, I remember you experienced this kind of narrow path... How did you survive it in the first place?"
The Shimama on the wall was so angry that she was "buzzing" and trembling as she recalled the days when she was eaten in and pulled out by birds.
But Zhang Ming said something nice: "I have to apologize to you. Your courage shocked me and is worth learning from."
Emperor Shi took the sugar-coated bullet to prevent him from having an attack, so he pretended to be relaxed and contented: "That's it?"
Pressure came from all directions, and Zhang Ming was like a thief trapped in a devil's cave.
The Demon Cave is filled with various defense mechanisms. The slightest movement will trigger the power of the "Pillar of Heaven". No matter how strong Zhang Ming is, he cannot compete with the power of the tower.
There is even a suspected living "devil" on the top of the tower!
Mount-like pressure lingered in Zhang Ming's heart. He never expected that he would lose a lot of money by climbing a sewage pipe!
After climbing for about two hours, according to the drawings in his memory, Lao Zhang finally arrived at his planned destination - almost the top of the "Pillar of Heaven".
Holding his breath and swiping lightly with the ice spear, the wall was neatly cut open, and Zhang Ming happened to lift open the toilet installed here.
Then, Lao Zhang, who was as thin as a bamboo pole, climbed out of the pipe.
"Huh...this is it."
Lao Zhang carefully looked around. In addition to a few toilets, there were some cleaning tools in the bathroom, such as brooms and mops. However, after too long, these tools had aged and could no longer be used.
A transparent quartz window was opened on the thick stone wall, and the sunlight was quite warm.
Squatting down, you can still see the scarlet moon hanging on the top of the tower!
Looking quietly from this angle, the red moon not only did not become clearer, but instead became blurry, like a low-resolution picture with only a few hundred pixels.
Zhang Ming didn't dare to activate his extraordinary vision to look directly at it. He blinked and his heart suddenly beat heavily!
The moon...is moving again?
The bright red light is like ink dripping into water, constantly polluting the surrounding environment.
Even though Lao Zhang was a very brave man, he was still startled: "Fuck, you can't be so sensitive after just one look."
Bite the bullet, he took out the metal knife again and used the knife's reflection to look at it a few times.
That damn moon is indeed slowly moving.
Just like a silkworm chrysalis, the protrusions danced on the moon's surface from time to time.
The raised part is sometimes a distorted human face, struggling to get out of the silkworm chrysalis, their mouths are extremely wide open, as if they were suffering some kind of pain during their lifetime; sometimes it is an unknown monster, transformed into Various shapes; sometimes it is a tentacle-like thing that keeps extending outwards, and then seems to reach the limit and slowly shrinks back.
The more Zhang Ming looked at the strange and weird patterns, the more he felt a thrilling and subtle feeling.
"Maybe it's a natural reaction, otherwise I would have died a long time ago... I'm just scared."
Lao Zhang sneered, held his breath, and took a few steps back until he retreated to the corner of the bathroom before feeling a little relieved.
Not long after, Shimama also rolled up with her backpack. She was really tired from hanging this big backpack.
"Emperor Shi, thank you... Look at the moon that day, look at that raised part, it's scary." Zhang Ming commented with gusto, "Tell me, if I curse it here, will it react? "
"Curse it? You curse it!" Shimama was also eager to give it a try.
"Either Shi Dadi, you want to try it first?" Lao Zhang said with a smile.
"Emperor Zhang, try it!"
Zhang Ming was not polite. He pondered for a while and said quietly: "Moon, why aren't you a beautiful girl? Why are you so scary? If you were a beautiful girl, even if you ate me, you would become one. I don’t feel so painful!”
"You can have a succubus, vampire, angel, or beast mother! Don't be so ugly, I can accept the fact of being eaten!"
Emperor Shi was greatly shocked. He felt the perverted nature of Emperor Zhang for the first time. He twitched crazily on the ground, but he did not dare to read again.
In fact, it didn't dare to look directly at the weird moonlight, let alone spray randomly here.
Even though its life-saving ability is unparalleled, it can still provoke the devil...
Too spicy!
Zhang Ming relaxed a little, his psychological pressure eased, and he said with a calm face: "Ahem... I won't talk nonsense. I would like to trouble Emperor Shi to go and investigate outside the toilet."
"In the saint's memory, this layer is already the core control layer of the Pillar of Heaven, and the security outside is very tight."
"People like me who don't have identity authority will trigger some of the detection devices as soon as they go out. The technical content of these institutions is not limited!"
"But you, a dead stone, shouldn't have any big problems..."
Shimama said: "It's not a big problem."
It does have a special physique that makes it impervious to attack.
What a rock it is!
Normally, when a monster sees it, it will simply ignore it. Unless Shimama is yelling at the side, there is a chance of being eaten.
Oh, even if it is eaten, it will be pulled out again.
After Zhang Ming took the backpack, he took out a smartphone, turned on the camera, and stuck it on Shimama's body.
"Use this phone well and take the picture clearer."
"Move slowly, pretend you are a stone, and don't trigger the puppet's attack!"
"..."
Because he had to do business, Emperor Shi remained silent and reluctantly accepted it.
After all, it is really capable of doing something!
Zhang Ming opened a crack in the bathroom door and let Shi Mama jump and slip out.
Then, wait patiently.
It was boring to be idle anyway, so he simply studied the "King Kong" he had just been taught - since he hadn't completely forgotten it yet, he might as well review it.
In the completely silent bathroom, you could only hear your own breathing and heartbeat. Even though the sunshine outside was perfect during the day, Zhang Ming still felt an inexplicable coldness slowly brewing around him.
His heart beat faster and faster, and he broke into a cold sweat.
The red moon in the sky began to move again as time passed.
The squirming was irregular, with a few twitches from time to time.
On the surface of the moon, one, two, and three raised human faces were once again formed. These humans made frightened expressions and kept struggling.
The number of human faces increased, and in a blink of an eye, dozens of face bumps appeared on the moon!
"Some of the natural features of the demon hatchlings can't all be human faces, right?" Zhang Ming was so frightened that he took a deep breath and prepared to run away.
Dark red light filtered in from the window, and a layer of faint red light crawled on the floor.
"Why is the moonlight shining in?"
"Human faces...how come there are more than a hundred of them! Damn...they're all human faces, right?"
This was the first time for Zhang Ming to face such a strange existence. He was like a little ant, hiding in the darkness and secretly plotting against the Titan.
Once discovered, there is only one outcome: death.
The beating of his heart accelerated to 180 beats per minute. He had no thought of resistance at all, and his already wooden body began to sweat again.
You can only control your curiosity and don't pay attention to it. The moon in the sky will not exist at all.
“The more nervous you are, the easier it is to be noticed.”
This floor, according to the design of the blue crystal saint, has only three rooms. The first is the control room, which is responsible for monitoring the operating status and safety status of the entire tower. After all, in addition to hunting demon gods, the "Pillar of Heaven" also has some diplomatic and administrative functions. For foreigners, the shock of this world wonder is comparable to the Star Destroyer in science fiction!
The second room is the high-level archives room, which contains high-level archives and can also hold some high-level meetings.
As for the third room, it is the most important: it is responsible for integrating the last wishes of one billion people and forming a powerful force capable of hunting down the demon god.
The name of this room is "Nirvana", which means nirvana.
Either the entire civilization reaches nirvana in the process of hunting; or the demon god reaches nirvana and is completely hatched.
Zhang Ming is most curious about the room "Nirvana", which may contain the truth about the demise of the Azurite people.
Including, the world will of the blue crystal people, the big stone like a water cube, may also be in this room.
But as time passed and while waiting, an invisible sense of pressure arose in his heart.
A behemoth that could kill the world was standing on top of his head...
Zhang Ming soon realized that the moonlight had really sensed the existence of life forms and was seeping in bit by bit. In the blink of an eye, it had covered most of the toilet!
You are absolutely not allowed to go to the corridor outside. Without sufficient authority, once you go out, he will become the enemy of the entire tower!
But now, the moonlight is getting closer.
There is a wolf in front and a tiger behind!
Cold sweat broke out on Zhang Ming's face, he took out another mobile phone from his backpack, and typed a line of text in the memo: "Shimama, the beautiful moon girl is coming to see me, take a step back first! You went to the toilet. Be careful not to be exposed to the moonlight! I will come to pick you up when the moon is clear."
