It is also strange to say that in such a bright and tall tower, they have been in it for so long, but no one has seen the empty one, as if no one has ever been there.

The stairs, which meandered and led directly to the top of the tower, suddenly heard the echo of human footsteps.

The two of them hid under the stairs in unison, hiding their figures.

Batta—batta—batta—the sound of footsteps was extraordinarily regular, approaching slowly.

The two held their breath, hearing the voice, getting closer and closer.

Then the most surprising thing was that the footsteps actually stopped not far from them.

Bai Xue frowned, and wanted to rush out a little impulsively, but she was grabbed by the arms by the people around her.

Sophie grabbed Bai Xue's arm and shook her head fiercely, with a look of disapproval between her brows and eyes. Seeing his serious attitude, Bai Xue didn't shake off her hand.

Bai Xue raised her eyes slightly, looking at the position of the spiral staircase, she couldn't see who the owner of the footsteps was, but only a length of soft gray robe dragging on the stairs.

Fortunately, the stopped footsteps seemed to be a false alarm, and they left after a while.

Listening to the footsteps gradually moving away, the space returned to calm for a while, and after they made sure that no one would appear again, the two came out from the corner of the stairs.

"Have you forgotten what I just said? Don't startle the snake, just avoid it if you can. We have other things to do."

Sophie looked around to make sure that no one was there, and then told Bai Xue again.

After she finished speaking, she looked up at the tall stairs, expressing concern.

"The sound of this staircase is too obvious. If there are other people on it, it will be too troublesome. Let's find out if there is another way to go."

"With such a tall tower, there is no other way!"

The two were circling around like headless flies in the empty hall.

The silent and stern marble of the hall reflected their figures looking around for other ways.

Suddenly, Sophie felt a malicious gaze that made her back feel chills. She turned her head and found that there was nothing behind her, only a white wall.

"strangeness!"

"Why does it feel like someone is staring at me?"

She looked around twice, but didn't find anything wrong, so she turned her head again.

When she turned her head away in some doubts, she was still groping lightly on the wall, wondering if she could find some hidden mechanisms.

But soon, the malicious sight that made her very uncomfortable appeared again, this time it was still behind her, Sophie turned around without hesitation.

She didn't know when there was an extra stone in her hand, and she threw it straight behind her.

"Boom—"

The stone hit the gray wall and made a moderate sound. The sound echoed continuously in the empty room. After thinking about it for several seconds, the intermittent sound stopped.

Bai Xue was hearing the commotion here on the other side, and turned around suspiciously.

"Have you found any problems?"

"Do you ever feel as though someone is watching us?"

Sophie stretched out her hand and rubbed her arm. She felt dense goosebumps sprouting on her arms. The sight of being maliciously spied on made her a little creepy.

"Did you feel something? Someone is staring at you!"

Bai Xue walked over quickly.

Seeing Bai Xue approaching, Sophie's restlessness calmed down a little.

She took a deep breath, trying to convince herself that what she just said was an illusion, and smiled uncomfortably.

"Didn't you feel it? That may be my illusion. I felt like there was someone behind me twice just now, but this place is so empty. If there is really someone, I should be able to find it."

Sophie found an excuse for her fuss just now, and waved her hand casually.

"Let's keep looking."

Bai Xue walked to her side in silence.

"I'm with you."

Sophie's lips moved slightly, but she still didn't refuse in the end. The two walked together to check the details around them, even the fine lines on the wall.

But after looking around for almost a whole circle, she still didn't find anything. To Sophie's surprise, the sight that made her stand on end also disappeared, as if what happened before was indeed just her illusion.

Could it be that it was really my illusion just now?

A seed of doubt was planted in her heart.

Little did they know that just after the seed was planted, it grew into a towering tree due to sudden changes.

When Bai Xue was a little further away, Sophie once again felt the scorching gaze behind her.

This time, she didn't look back, but walked quickly to Bai Xue's side, her gaze seemed to be a little bit unwilling, but also seemed to be resentful, and it slowly disappeared.

"It seems that there are really other people here. The feeling I just had is not an illusion!"

"But those eyes seem to be a little afraid of you. When they come to you, those eyes disappear."

After listening to her words, Bai Xue made a circle around her thoughtfully, and her eyes fell on the opposite wall.

"Where is the line of sight you just felt? Opposite?"

Sophie thought for a moment, reviewed her position just now, compared the position of Bai Xue's finger, and nodded.

"That's right."

Bai Xue held her with one hand, and casually walked towards the wall.

"Since you think that line of sight really exists, then take a look and see what is behind this wall."

As she said that, before Sophie had time to react, her hand changed rapidly, and beautiful golden scales appeared on her hand, making her hand as bright as if it was made of gold.

The palm that was filled with bright luster easily cut through the wall without even making a sound, just like cutting water tofu with ease.

Sophie's eyes widened, fearing that she would provoke others, she looked around.

Bai Xue's palm easily pierced another inch into the wall.

"snort!"

"Your feeling is not wrong, there is indeed something in it!"

Bai Xue let out a sneer all of a sudden, with all his strength on his arm, a small piece of wall was pulled down as it rotated in the direction of his strength.

After the shell of the wall was removed, unless the white wall was discovered, it did not seem to be a common architectural structure.

The piece that was torn off by Bai Xue was a whole piece of white metal.

This kind of metal seems to have good ductility, and the part of the wall that has been torn apart with a large hole can still see slightly convergent edges.

In addition, through the torn gap, a somewhat transparent glass wall is exposed.

The thick black liquid vibrated slightly inside the glass wall, which made Sophie lose his mind for a moment.

"What exactly is in here?"
