Just as I was pulling the girl and running down the corridor with all my might, I felt like we could never run out of there.
I started to think about it slightly. Surely this place couldn't have been stretched out for no reason too?
When we first entered Xiao Yuan's room with Fatty, I noticed that the floor on the third floor had been inexplicably narrowed.
Such a change can only be achieved by altering the thickness of the walls; otherwise, how could a building that has been in place for so many years suddenly become wider or narrower?
However, we've been running for several minutes now and we still haven't reached the end. I really don't understand where this staircase is.
If not, then we've really encountered another maze!
At that moment, a cold sweat broke out on my back.
But then Mr. He's voice could still be heard from behind.
This time, his voice was even hoarser than before, as if he had suddenly gone from being in his forties to nearly sixty years old.
"If you want to go out, there is no fog outside, absolutely no white fog!"
If you want to go out, go to my land and help me turn the soil over!
As he said this, my mind was overflowing with questions. Just as I was about to ask him more, the white mist around us suddenly began to churn violently.
An even sweeter, fishier smell filled my nostrils, as if something was stirring inside the room.
Go to the backyard? The backyard is the land he mentioned that hasn't been cultivated yet!
Yes, I really want to go out if I could!
At this point, I felt that we were most likely no longer in the safe hotel that Fatty Zhou had left for us.
Ever since I met that unknown old man, things have started to go wrong.
Since we went up to the second floor, neither the waiter nor the so-called Boss He has ever heard Zhou Pangzi mention it.
Just then, I suddenly heard Yiyi calling in my ear.
"Brother, we've reached the stairs!"
I looked down and it was indeed a staircase!
After letting out a long sigh of relief, we quickly rushed down.
Even if I had to confront that old man head-on, I don't want to face this white fog on the second floor anymore!
At that moment, a thought echoed in my mind.
What about Xiao Yuan?
What should we do with that child?
Although that fat man has nothing to do with me, he left like that, and told us about me. We can't just leave his son here, can we?
Just as I was still hesitating, Lei Jijian seemed to understand my voice and continued speaking in my mind.
"Master, don't hesitate any longer! Look, there's no more stairs up here!"
I looked up following the sound of Lei Jijian, and saw that the area above the stairs was completely blocked off, as if it hadn't been completed yet.
Before me was a rusty iron fence secured with a large lock, and the staircase ahead was still under construction, with bricks not yet laid.
"Go to the backyard of our hotel! It's not finished being renovated yet!"
In the midst of the chaos, I heard the waiter's voice faintly behind me.
I really don't know what to do.
This was like a death knell! Without thinking, I grabbed the girl and rushed out as fast as I could.
At that moment, I couldn't care less about anyone else.
We rushed down the stairs in one go, and the stairs worked perfectly at that moment without any problems.
But as soon as I rushed out, I found that the scene on the first floor had also changed!
No, it's not just that it's changed, you could say it's not the first floor at all!
Yiyi and I stopped there, panting heavily, our hands on our knees. When I looked up and around, all I saw was a desolate piece of land, with a patch of barren, overgrown grass next to it.
As we breathe, we can feel a strong glare around us with each exhale.
I quickly rubbed my eyes, and a sharp pain struck me. For about ten seconds, I felt a white light all around me!
The light covered everything around me, making it impossible for me to see anything. All I could do was wave my hands wildly!
This was different from the white fog we had encountered before, where we could still barely see some things inside.
The light completely illuminated the area around my eyes, making it seem as if the whole world had turned bright white, leaving a void...
I rubbed my eyes again, and the scene before me suddenly seemed to blur!
It wasn't the bright white light shining around me like before, but rather a choppy, interrupted television signal.
When I opened my eyes again, the surroundings slowly brightened, and the previously sweet and foul mist had disappeared without a trace. We seemed to be in a gentle breeze.
At this moment, the place has returned to normal.
Gone. The fog or white light from before has been replaced by a pleasant ray of sunshine that warms the skin.
A faint scent of earth and aquatic plants wafted in the air.
"Brother, look..."
The girl's voice was somewhat helpless, and her eyes had recovered; she stared blankly at her surroundings.
I subconsciously looked up at the sky and was completely dumbfounded.
At this time, the sunlight penetrates the water more intensely, and the light also shines farther.
This is definitely not the environment we were in on the second floor a little before 7 or 8 o'clock!
It wasn't what we saw when we opened the door for that old man on the first floor, it was around seven or eight in the morning!
It wasn't even nighttime!
Judging by the intensity of the sunlight, it feels like it's past one in the afternoon!
At this moment, the girl was also stunned. She grabbed my arm and whispered.
"Brother, the fog...the fog is gone. Is it daytime now? Or is it still afternoon?"
"It's not a daytime issue."
I opened my mouth slightly, but my mind was still a complete mess.
Staring at the ground beneath my feet, a heavy feeling settled over me.
It's still just dirt here, plus some rotten grass in the distance.
However, unlike before, the middle section contained clumps of earth that had already been chewed up, now broken into small pieces and still carrying a damp scent.
It's as if the plowing just finished not long ago.
Several crooked poplar trees, seemingly several years old, were planted around the earthen mound.
Some withered vines were wrapped around the tree trunk, and upon closer inspection, they seemed similar to the vines on the handrail of the wall that I had encountered earlier.
However, unlike before, this vine clearly didn't have the eerie feeling of the handrail; instead, it exuded a vibrant atmosphere.
Could this place really be the land that those two people were talking about, the land that has already been cultivated?
I took deep breaths of air, and indeed, the white fog had disappeared.
impossible!
Can we really expect him to point us to something and take us wherever he wants?
