Main Text Chapter 101 The Upward Ladder

The soil of the fountain is very high, and you can't really see the situation in the pool without jumping up. Angel propped himself up with his hands and jumped directly into the air, observing the details of the pool from a high place.

There is not much water in the pool, only a shallow layer, with a faint mist. The "urine" of the peeing child fell into the pool, splashing a few white flowers, rippling like waves.

At first glance, Angel didn't find anything unusual. The water looked like ordinary water, and the bottom of the pool was white bricks and tiles, and you could see the bottom at a glance. It wasn't until Angel went around the pool to the other side that he suddenly found something wrong.

On the side facing away from the peeing child statue, there was something like a door handle at the extension of the statue base. Angel thought to himself, could it be that the thing is inside the statue base?

With this question, Angel flew to the vicinity of the statue base and gently pulled the door handle-like protrusion.

As the door handle was pulled, a cave slightly higher than the water surface, about 1.5 meters high, appeared in front of Angel... There was no light in the cave, and it was pitch black. Angel turned on the flashlight and scanned it, and found that it was actually a staircase.

Suddenly, Angel's eyes widened!

There was a staircase, but the direction of the staircase was not downward, but upward!

Imagine that there was a staircase on the base of a small statue, and the direction of the staircase was upward, which meant that there should be a road upward. But Angel flew around the statue several times, and it was all empty, without even a little obstruction. This is strange, this road is like a building out of thin air, spreading to an unknown space. Just like the legendary road to heaven, it appeared without support and went straight to the kingdom of God on the other side.

If it was the Angel who was taught by Jon and believed in science before, he would probably be confused at this time. But after being influenced by Sanders' library, Angel also had his own views on some mysterious events.

"Perhaps, this is also a kind of space technology, a passage similar to the gap between planes?" Angel thought.

Angel looked at this unknown passage and hesitated whether to go in.

After finally finding a passage, Angel naturally wanted to go in and find out. But he was alone now, who knew if this passage was the exit to the outside world. If he stepped in, he might miss the encounter with his mentor.

But if he didn't step in, Angel felt itchy again. He had gained a lot in the days in the nightmare world. If there was a place to place the guidance method, he could also use the holographic tablet to record a sample in advance. After all, Sanders once said that this guidance method was extremely special. You might not really remember it if you remembered it. You would forget the content of the guidance method when you leave the nightmare world. If you record it with the holographic tablet first, you don't have to worry too much even if you forget it when you return to the real world.

If he waited here for mentor Sanders to go in together, he would not dare to expose the existence of the holographic tablet, so he naturally couldn't record it. Of course, the premise of everything is that behind this door, there is the guidance method that Sanders has been thinking about for hundreds of years.

If behind this door is actually the exit of the sewer maze, then after Angel steps in, he will face the possibility of missing Sanders.

That is why Angel hesitated. To go in or not to go in, this is a difficult problem.

Finally, Angel gritted his teeth. In the cruel and realistic wizarding world, if you don't fight and don't have an indomitable momentum, you will never make it. The waves wash away the sand, either you die on the front beach or I drown in the back waves. Only those who are not afraid of the waves can find a way out.

Thinking of this, Angel's eyes no longer hesitated. With a hint of decisiveness, he bent his body and got into the wooden door at the base of the statue.

The wooden door was not high, and Angel thought the passage inside would also be narrow, but surprisingly, when he stepped on the stairs, he no longer felt the narrow feeling.

He couldn't even feel the distance to the top. There was endless darkness on both sides of the stairs. Even the flashlight couldn't illuminate the dark fog, just like a chaotic space. Only the stairs under his feet were proclaiming a sense of existence.

After walking for about ten minutes, he still didn't reach the end. Angel silently calculated the distance. If the height of the stairs was the same as the distance in the outside space, then he should have left the maze of the sewer.

After walking for another two minutes, there was a flash of light in front of him. Angel squinted and looked up, and saw an equally narrow wooden door. The door was open and the light shone from inside.

Angel walked quickly to the door, but did not step into the wooden door immediately, but looked to the other side in confusion.

He thought the wooden door was the exit, but it didn't seem to be. Because the stairs did not reach the end, with the light emitted from the door, it can be clearly seen that the stairs are still spiraling upwards, and the end is unknown. And this wooden door is just the middle station of this staircase.

Angel lowered his head and looked inside the door.

Inside the door was a small room, with a light tube similar to the sewer maze above, illuminating the entire room brightly. Angell looked around and saw that there were quite a lot of things inside, including a bed, a table, and a cabinet. It seemed that someone had lived in the room before.

Because of the angle of view, Angell could not see clearly, but he did not see any traces of monsters in the room. So, he decided to go in and take a look. Maybe the guidance method mentioned by the mentor was inside.

After Angell bowed and stepped into the wooden door, he looked outside the door deliberately. He was worried that the stairs outside the door would disappear after entering the room.

Obviously, his worry was unnecessary. There was no change inside or outside the door. The stairs still existed and the wooden door was not closed.

Angel was relieved and searched the small room.

The room was not big, and the table, chairs and bed took up a lot of space. The furniture was all hollow wood, so Angel could tell at a glance if there was anything fishy.

The only place in the room where things could be hidden was the bedside table, but the cabinet was locked. Angel was very glad that he had taken the dagger of the young man Sanders, otherwise it would be difficult for him to open the cabinet with his bare hands.

With the dagger in hand, Angel did not spend much effort to pry open the lock on the cabinet.

As soon as the cabinet door was opened, a rotten smell that had not seen the sun for a long time came out. Angel frowned and looked inside. There was a piece of clothing and a green book inside.

As soon as Angel touched the piece of clothing, it turned into ash and disappeared.

Although the green-covered book also had traces of the word "worm", it was not serious. Angel took it out carefully and put it gently on the table.

The cover of the book was written with a row of characters he did not recognize.

After opening the book, it was still the same font. Angell had never seen this font before, but after flipping through several pages, he guessed from some dates and annotations: this book was probably a diary or something like that.

Because the content on each page was different, and the header of each page had the same footnote, Angell guessed that this might be the date.

Since it was a diary that he couldn't understand, it shouldn't be the strange guidance method that the mentor talked about. Thinking of this, Angell recorded the not-too-thick book. Although he couldn't understand it at the moment, he might have a chance to decipher the text inside when he returned to the wizard world.

There might be something strange in the content, after all, it was something from the nightmare world.

After recording, Angell didn't put the book back to its original place, but left the wooden door directly.

Shortly after he stepped onto the stairs again, the green book on the table suddenly disappeared, and the lock on the bedside table that was pried open was restored to its original state. If someone opened the bedside table at this time, they would find that the inside had returned to the appearance that Angell had seen at the beginning. The clothes have not turned to ashes yet, and the books are still in their original places. Everything here seems to be frozen in time.
