Chapter 543 Are you hiding something unplanned from me?
Mao Feiyang's words made Lin Yi feel a little startled, but he didn't say anything more and stepped through the illusory portal shrouded in gray mist.
When he passed through the portal, a dreamlike sense of emptiness instantly surrounded him, and a strong sense of dizziness made his limbs tremble and his steps falter.
The moment he passed through, Mao Feiyang leaned against the wall in front of him and gasped for air, "Whooping, Whooping, Whooping...".
"Crossing the layers continuously in a short period of time is a bit overwhelming both cognitively and physically..."
His face is pale, and his body has a faint sense of illusory fluctuations, and from time to time a sculptural blue-gray texture appears.
As he panted, his body gradually recovered.
"Are you okay, Maozi?" Lin Yi asked with concern.
"Huh, hu... If he's not dead, it's not a big problem." Mao Feiyang waved his hand gently, looked around, and found the "door" of the clock tower - the illusory portal with a layer of invisible medium floating in it and possessing the "door attribute".
He didn't give himself much chance to breathe, and walked over directly.
Lin Yi has always had two big questions in his mind. One is about what happened between Mao Zi and the first reward, and the other is whether Mao Zi knows where the stairwell under the bell tower leads to.
Because he clearly remembered that the last time he followed Lao Mo here, he also entered a certain middle section of this stairwell. He had always been curious about the lower half of this stairwell...
But seeing Mao Feiyang move without hesitation, he took back the question he was about to ask.
The moment he passed through the medium-like portal, Lin Yi followed Mao Feiyang's perspective and saw the distorted kaleidoscope-like abstract space, and a sharp and nagging noise that made his teeth sore appeared in his ears.
When the distortion disappeared, Mao Feiyang naturally arrived at the first floor of the clock tower - the room the size of a living room.
Three walls, a clock wall, and the time reflected from the inside out on the wall - 16:00.
Lin Yi naturally knew how to read the time. It was obviously 20:00 now.
At this time, he should have just woken up from Li Huiyuan's lap. In half an hour, Lao Mo will arrive at the stadium and take him away.
After arriving at the bell tower, Mao Feiyang did not rush to the upper floor of the bell tower. Instead, he took his time and looked at the religious-style words carved on the inner wall. Then he didn't know what he thought of and sighed quietly.
"Maozi...?" Lin Yi whispered.
"Huh?" Mao Feiyang responded.
"Can you understand?"
"Can't understand." Mao Feiyang shook his head.
Lin Yi didn't believe it, he curled his lips.
I don’t understand you sighing like a hammer.
Mao Feiyang said: "It's just that I can feel something faintly... You will also feel it in the future."
Lin Yi couldn't help but said, "When I came here, I didn't feel too much..."
"You will, Old Lin... but not now." Mao Feiyang said slowly, he raised his head and looked at the upper floor of the bell tower.
The upper level is a hollow area supported by twenty-eight columns, like a sword piercing the sky, and in the hollow "sword grid" is the quantum clock "temple".
Under the normal layer, the "Temple" is much more normal. However, the cuneiform characters and mysterious patterns engraved on the bell body become more profound and terrifying because of the completeness of the bell body.
Mao Feiyang raised his feet and slowly walked towards the stone steps extending from the wall.
Just as he got closer, a slight wisp of wind escaped, and a cut was made directly on the fluttering cheek.
A drop of blood slowly flowed down his cheek...
Mao Feiyang stopped his forward steps and slowly took a step back. Then, he stuck out his tongue, gently caught the drop of blood, put it into his mouth, swallowed it gently, and then grinned in a somewhat evil arc.
He gently touched the wound on his cheek, and the wound healed naturally, as if it didn't exist.
After standing still, Mao Feiyang said loudly to the void above: "As agreed, I will withdraw the deposit. "04" has already verified his identity, so I don't think there is anything more to say, right?"
There was silence.
「Nightwatch-02」 seems not to be upstairs.
But of course it’s impossible for him not to be there.
Not only is "Night Watcher-02" there, at this point, Mu Daxian should also be there.
Perhaps the reason why Mao Feiyang is not promoted is because he does not want to cause a cognitive impact to Mu Daxian?
After all, who would have thought that two people who were as embarrassed as dogs a day ago would still be as embarrassed when they meet again, while the other seems to be a different person... The strong contrast may make Mu Daxian, who seems to get along well but is actually extremely arrogant in his heart, collapse.
Of course, the premise is that the current Mu Daxian's will is still clear.
After being silent for a while, Mao Feiyang smiled: "Then I'm leaving?"
The upper level was still silent, with only the "rustling" sound of the wind carrying water mist gently blowing the clock body, and the dull "dong-dong" sound made by the three or two drops of water that appeared from time to time, hitting the clock body.
After Mao Feiyang said this, he turned around and walked back to the exit without hesitation. His pace was very fast, as if he didn't hold back at all.
At this moment, the voice of "Night Watch-02" came from the upper level: "You really just left like that?"
Mao Feiyang's footsteps stopped. Then he turned his face slightly, with a bit of mockery in the corner of his mouth, and asked: "If you don't want to go, are you waiting for me to drink my northwest wind?"
"Haha..." The voice of "Nightwatch-02" slowly drifted down from the upper floor of the clock tower, "In that case, just take it."
The next moment, a black wooden box was thrown down. It jumped on the wooden board with a "click" and then rolled to Mao Feifei's feet.
"Another black wooden box?" Lin Yi was surprised and asked through telepathy: "What is in this? Could it be some extraordinary creation?"
Mao Feiyang glanced at the black wooden box, bent down to pick it up, and then opened it directly.
"Do you want to see it?" He said and opened the black wooden box without hesitation.
As the black wooden box was opened, a mysterious aura that could not be described in words filled the air. Lin Yi looked intently and saw a bronze key lying quietly in the black wooden box.
The surface of this key is covered with mottled patina, which is like ancient lines, twisting and turning, as if interweaving a mysterious pattern...
Under the light from inside the bell tower, the bronze key shines with a deep and strange light. The light is not bright, but it is difficult to look directly at it for a long time.
The shape of the key was strange and complex, with exquisite tooth patterns and a unique outline. The longer Lin Yi looked at it, the weirder the shape of the key became.
"The shape of this thing...is related to my own cognition?" Lin Yi was shocked. Every tooth pattern of the bronze key seemed to have been carefully carved, but when he looked carefully, he felt that every gear was blurry.
There is a layer of hazy light floating on this key...a layer of hazy "time".
It does not seem to belong to this world, but comes from some distant mysterious time and space.
Mao Feiyang just looked at the bronze key quietly after opening it. He didn't even touch the key, but just the smell of the key gave Lin Yi a heavy feeling.
The weight not only comes from the bronze itself, but also seems to carry countless secrets and mysterious powers.
Lin Yi's mind began to picture black castles, portals deep in deep caves, and even a dark corner of forgotten mysterious ruins...
"What kind of key is this?" Lin Yi couldn't help but ask.
"..." Lin Yi was speechless, "Aren't you messing with my mentality?"
Mao Feiyang shrugged: "I can't tell you too much, but you will know soon."
"I finally got through it until Mr. Tian confessed a lot to me, so why did you come to be the Riddler?" Lin Yi was a little angry.
"Well..." Mao Feiyang curled his lips, "This is the key to the "Bell Tower", but... not this clock tower."
Lin Yi's pupils shrank sharply: "You mean...'that clock tower'?!"
"Where is the 'Bell Tower'?" Lin Yi asked hurriedly, "No, your going there was not in the plan at all... Wait! Maozi, do you and Mr. Tian have any plans to hide from me?"
Mao Feiyangdog smiled mischievously: "When the time comes, you know better than us."
"You... oh! You damn..." Lin Yi smiled bitterly and cursed, "Then, can we finally tell what is in that bell tower?"
< br/> "Of course." Mao Feiyang narrowed his eyes and was about to speak when the voice of "Nightwatch-02" slowly sounded, "As agreed, now that the deposit is given to you, when will you take action?"
"I will act when the time comes." Mao Feiyang said calmly.
Night Watchman-02 said: "I'm not asking you when to go there, I'm asking you, when will you start doing what you promised me, and when will you be able to do it?"
Mao Feiyang smiled: "I've been taking action since I left here, but I have to tell you, don't be impatient. If I can't figure it out, the guy who comes to pay the final payment will definitely be able to figure it out."
Mao Feiyang thought for a while and asked Lin Yidao: "Old Lin, have you got the balance?"
"I am 5..." Lin Yigang wanted to say "I am on the evening of May 9th", and then suddenly realized that "now" is not May 9th, so he wanted to change his words to "I am tonight", but while he was changing his words, Mao Feiyang had already interrupted him.
"Okay, I know, please stop talking."
After Mao Feiyang interrupted him, he looked at the upper floor of the bell tower and said loudly: "At the earliest tonight, or at the latest tomorrow, the person who will make the final payment will be here... When he comes up, you will know it is him."
"At that time, I will let him come to me to pick it up in person." Night Watchman-02 said slowly.
"That's up to you." Mao Feiyang said, "Of course he can come up...Okay, if there's nothing else, I'll leave."
There was silence.
Nightwatch-02 seems to no longer respond to Mao Feiyang’s words.
But Mao Feiyang did not set off immediately. Instead, he said angrily: "By the way, I'm already here. Why don't you give me something to make it easier for me to move?"
Night Watchman-02 did not speak, but there was a sneer, which came down from the upper level: "You didn't do anything, you just took the deposit and started picking up my wool. Isn't it a bit unreasonable?"
"You don't want to hit me, do you?" Mao Feiyang asked.
ttle
" ...I have never met anyone as cheap as you. I really want to beat you, but I'm afraid I'll kill you accidentally." "Then you have to be careful." Mao Feiyang said seriously, "If you can't help but beat me, I will really kill you."
After saying this, something was thrown down from the upper floor of the bell tower.
"Du!" With a sudden sound, it pierced Mao Feifei's feet like a dart.
It was a piece of feather, to be precise, it was a sculptural piece of feather.
"You want to hit me with a bird feather?" Mao Feiyang said.
"Are you here to beg for food?" Night Watchman-02 couldn't help it.
"Uh...ah! I almost forgot!" Mao Feifei slapped his head and quickly corrected his attitude, "Sorry, I forgot that I was begging for food..."
"Hehehehe..."
He plucked the sculpture's feathers from the ground angrily.
“What is this thing used for?”
Night Watchman-02 said: "It's not offensive, but it can prevent you from getting killed when you are running around."
"Just remember to return to a safe place before it disappears completely."
"'Chicken Feather Arrow', right? It's interesting, interesting... Hehehe..." Mao Feiyang couldn't put it down and touched the sculpture's feathers, kicked it into his pocket, and said, "Can you..."
"Get out!" Night Watchman-02 said angrily.
"I was just wondering if you could give me a ride..." Mao Feiyang muttered, "I don't ask for much, just send it to the gallery for me..."
"I don't want to walk this way, how can you help me find the "Quartermaster"? "Night Watchman-02 asked.
Mao Feiyang said: "First of all, let's get rid of your surroundings..."
"I really want to throw you down the stairs." Night Watchman-02 said.
"Come on, I also want to save you some time..." He was so angry that he refused to let go as if a buff had been activated.
"Go out and turn left! Get out! Or...I'll throw you under the stairs!"
