Chapter 195: Second entry into Epiphyllum Ridge Skill Scroll: Keeping to Your Own Good...
Xiao's House, top floor of the spire.
"Chief, Bai Qiqi was a good boy. How could he die in such an unclear way..." Bai Shu, who was already very old, cried so hard that he was out of breath. He looked both pitiful and funny.
The circular room in the tower was small, with a very hot fireplace and a fragrance that could not be shaken away. The doors and windows were closed, the curtains were tightly drawn, and the room was lit only by a dim oil lamp.
In the middle of the circular room, with its back to Baishu, there was a high-backed chair.
Bai Shu: "Qiqi, his body was not intact! How could a follower of the Half-Dead One fall to this state!"
There are more than 20 servants in the room. They are almost the same height and skin color. They are all wearing black robes, with their heads down and are silent. At first glance, they look like more than 20 identical characters.
Only Bai Shu's intermittent sobbing could be heard in the room: "What's more, Gao Mengtang used some kind of evil magic to push down the statue of the half-dead man." At this point, Bai Shu glanced cautiously at the high-backed chair, although he could only see a chair and not even the shadow of Xiao Tien.
"This is extremely disrespectful to the half-dead." A faint orange-red light flickered in Bai Shu's slightly widened eyes.
cough.
It was a very light cough, and one could not hear it unless one listened carefully. But Bai Shu was sensible enough to shut up.
Xiao Tien's voice was extremely strange, with a high pitch. At first glance, it sounded like a child, but the tone was extremely hoarse, like an old man in his twilight years: "He is even more...outrageous than I imagined."
He spoke very slowly, as if he would use up half of Xiao Tien's strength to say one word, and he coughed while he spoke. Bai Shu listened patiently.
"Yeah, how can we be disrespectful to a half-dead person?" Bai Shu fanned the flames.
There was silence in the room again.
"A clown who seeks attention with his appearance," Shortien said, "How can I allow a clown to gain more love than a saint."
Bai Shu's eyes lit up.
Plop. A skill scroll fell next to the high-back chair.
"Kill him." Xiao Tien said, "The teleportation array is unstable. It's normal to have some problems..."
The servant handed the skill scroll to Bai Shu, who took it respectfully, bowed 135 degrees, his nose almost touching his knees, and his old waist cracked with a crisp sound.
After leaving the small round room and going down more than 20 steps, Bai Ke was waiting anxiously.
"Father, how is it?" Bai Ke ran up and asked.
Bai Shu held up the skill scroll with one hand: "Meng Tang, you're dead. Although I really want him to be my adopted son, it's a pity that he won't call me father."
A common problem among believers of ancient gods is that when they see a promising young person, they want to take him in as their own godson.
"Son, I leave it to you. We will enter the teleportation array later and see how you perform." Bai Shu handed the skill scroll to Bai Ke. Bai Ke unfolded the scroll and smiled sinisterly.
"Father..." Bai Ke smiled with a look of great revenge as he rolled up the scroll. "That unknown thing wanted to secretly help Gao Mengtang. But it shouldn't have pushed down the statue of the half-dead."

Hundreds of people gathered in the basement, waiting for the teleportation array to start. Gao Mengtang and his companions spent a lot of time packing their luggage in a room full of fruits and vegetables. When they arrived at the basement, they were almost the last ones.
A dozen people in front formed a group and entered the magic circle one after another.
"I'm going to sleep all morning tomorrow." Bai Jie yawned. The clock struck four in the morning, and everyone looked tired.
A shadow enveloped Gao Mengtang. When he turned around, he saw Bai Ke standing behind them.
Gao Mengtang looked at him warily. These people were too close to him, and something bad must be wrong.
Wei Wei also sensed something was wrong and asked with a fake smile, "Why did Mr. Bai walk behind us? All your relatives have been teleported there."
"Busy collecting Bai Qiqi's body." Bai Ke said.
A reasonable reason.
But Gao Mengtang still felt a little strange: Bai Ke had been sticking to him intentionally or unintentionally, with only a shoulder's distance between them. Gao Mengtang would quietly move away a little, and Bai Ke would immediately come closer without leaving a trace.
"There's something wrong with Bai Ke," Gao Mengtang said, opening a mental link. "You guys better be careful with him."
The people in front were teleported away one group after another, and soon, only Gao Mengtang's last group was left.
Bai Ke was still clinging to Gao Mengtang, and Tu Cheng couldn't push him away.
"Stay away from our leader," Tu Cheng said unhappily as the magic circle lit up. "We are disgusted by your face. What are you doing coming close to us?"
The entire teleportation array was lit up, and the grating rose up, spinning at high speed along the edge of the array. People in the array felt their feet lighten, as if their bodies were floating.
"Don't push or shove in the transmission channel," Bai Ke slapped Tu Cheng's hand away. "Do you know that once you break through the light wall of the transmission channel, the strong pressure will suck you out, and then you will float in the void until you die."
"Who are you threatening?!" Bai Jie pushed Bai Ke's shoulder and said in Esperanto, "Stay away from our boss! Do you understand what I mean?"
The light wall was spinning faster and faster, the body was getting lighter and lighter, and the objects in the outside world turned into strips of color. Gao Mengtang, Bai Ke and others were completely wrapped in the transmission channel.
They were like carrots pulled out of the ground. Just seconds before the teleportation was successful, Bai Jie unfolded the skill scroll [Keep to Yourself]
"Goodbye, Gao Mengtang. You don't deserve more respect and love than a half-dead person."
Prop Description: A high-level philosophy of life is to be self-sufficient. A higher-level philosophy of life is to harm others and benefit yourself.
: After using this skill scroll, it will cause terrible damage to people around, but the user of the scroll will not suffer any harm.
"He Luo!" Wei Wei shouted, and the octopus's tentacles wrapped around Bai Ke's head, just as he was about to use force -
——Bang.
A devastating explosion.
Everything happened so suddenly. The strong airflow instantly sucked Gao Mengtang and others out, and Li Mo unfolded the scroll to wrap them up.
One of He Luo's claws gripped Bai Ke's head, and the other nine claws tightly wrapped around Wei Wei, preventing him from flying away.
Transmission completed.
The powerful pressure crushed He Luo into pieces all over the ground. Like pieces of jelly, they crawled slowly, making a gurgling sound and trying hard to come together.
Wei Wei fell to the ground, staring blankly at thousands of pieces of broken jelly. He suddenly came to his senses and looked around.
Of the last wave of 12 people who entered the magic circle, only he and Bai Ke were teleported here.
"What did you do?" Wei Wei asked in a trembling voice, "Bai Ke, what did you just do?"
Bai Ke suddenly squatted on the ground and burst into tears: "There was an accident during the transmission! During the transmission, Gao Mengtang wanted to kill me. I resisted with all my might. When we fought, the transmission channel was shattered."
Everyone gasped.
During the transmission process, the channel was broken, and the severity was equivalent to the top of the plane being lifted up when flying at an altitude of 10,000 meters.
"Nonsense!" Wei Wei grabbed his collar, "It was you who used the skill scroll to blow up the transmission channel!"
Immediately several people rushed over and held Wei Wei down.
Bai Ke cried bitterly, feeling extremely miserable: "Except for me and Wei Wei, the rest of the people were swept away! Ancient God, why did this happen!"
"It was you who blew up the transmission channel!" Wei Wei shouted with all his might, but soon his mouth was covered, and dozens of pairs of feet trampled He Luo's fragments into a pool of dark green mud.
He Suzhi looked around in panic: "My sister is in the last group..."
A line of tears slid down his pale cheek.
The Xu family, the Qiao family, the Li family, and six or seven other families cried bitterly. Their relatives were gone.
Bai Ke cried the most sadly: "I'm sorry... I'm sorry... I didn't expect Gao Mengtang to be so crazy that he dared to blow up the transmission channel..."
Wei Wei was dragged away by a dozen people and he only had time to utter a "mumble" in protest.
*
Li Mo wrapped Gao Mengtang, Bai Jie and Tu Cheng, and the scroll rushed forward rapidly, tearing the space apart, and a series of sparks burst out in the darkness.
It was unknown how long they fell, but Gao Mengtang and the others fell heavily to the ground, their backs aching severely, and they didn’t dare to breathe for a long time.
What happened just now? Gao Mengtang thought vaguely.
"Outside the transmission channel is the void. In human terms, it is space." Li Mo's voice was very weak. "I don't know where this is, so I found a space nearby and tore open the barrier."
Gao Mengtang held his head and sat up, looking around: "Where are the others?"
"Wei Wei and Bai Ke were successfully teleported," Li Mo's voice became softer and softer, like a trace of ink in a clear pond, which would dissipate in the blink of an eye. "I won't be able to save the rest of them in time. They will continue to drift in the void until they die."
"It took me a lot of energy to tear the space apart. I may need to sleep for 15 days." Li Mo closed his eyes and merged into the painting. "The rest is up to you."
Bai Jie jumped up, pointed at the sky and cursed: "Bai Ke, none of your ancestors were good people! Your whole family died suddenly and their ashes were blown away by the wind!"
He kept cursing according to the family tree for five minutes, not realizing that he was Bai Ke's cousin.
Tu Cheng stood up and patted the dust off his body: "Be optimistic, at least we are still alive. The other seven people will have to float in the void forever. What a terrible way to die." He shuddered.
The area around them was not desolate at all. There were tall buildings and bright lights everywhere. It was actually a city.
However, there seem to be only three people in this city: Gao Mengtang, Bai Jie and Tu Cheng.
There are no birds singing, no small insects flying after the light. It is like a city built of building blocks, beautiful but lifeless.
A bus passed by Gao Mengtang. There were no passengers or driver in the bus.
Gao Mengtang stroked a street lamp next to the bus stop. In the dark night, there was not a single moth under the street lamp, and it was abnormally empty.
"I've been to this place before." Gao Mengtang said, "This is a man-made miniature inner world [Fulin]. Wei Xiangchen brought me here in the Block 13 instance... You guys follow me."
They got on a bus and got off in front of a taller and darker group of buildings. The buildings on the hilltop looked like monsters lurking there with their eyes fixed on them.
In front of the tightly closed iron gate, there stood a black stone with a row of characters from the other world carved vertically on it.
"Epiphyllum Ridge Black Tower Laboratory..." Bai Jie read out the words, "This is Epiphyllum Ridge!"
The three of them praised Li Mo in their hearts. Li Mo actually brought them to Epiphyllum Ridge, instead of some unknown planet 100,000 light years away from the earth. If that were the case, they would definitely die in a foreign land.
What's even more exciting is that Fulin was built in Xizhou Jiecheng, and outside District 13, Xiao's house is also in Xizhou Jiecheng. As long as they find a way to leave here, they can go back and seek revenge!
In the dungeon [No. 13, Chaotic Block], Wei Xiangchen brought Gao Mengtang to Fulin, but that was Fulin 10 years later. The method of leaving and the appearance of the city were very different.
"Let's go to Epiphyllum Ridge first and take a look." Gao Mengtang said.
This time, he had accumulated some experience and called for help in advance: "Hydra."
In an hour, Hydra should be here...right?
The three of them were looking around furtively outside the gate of Tanhualing, thinking of a way to get in, when suddenly a cry of surprise came from behind them:
“Oh my God!” Wei Xiangchen was so frightened that his soul almost fainted. “Chief Gao? Why are you here?!”
