Chapter 31, The Man with the Baby

The gate of the Overturning Sky City opened, like the open mouth of a giant beast, Tang Yao and the others knew that it was a trap but they still had to go in.

Carefully walked through the hanging door and entered the outer city of the Heavenly City, under the towering walls was hidden a garden that had already been dilapidated, and when he entered the garden, fog had begun to rise all around, Tang Yao reminded in a low voice: "It's foggy, I don't know if it's an illusion, everyone be careful." ”

According to the map of the Flipping Sky City obtained before, you can reach the central part of the Outer City through the garden of the Outer City, this area used to be inhabited by servants, there are more rooms and the area is more scattered, it is impossible for Tang Yao and the three of them to search this area in a short time, not to mention how many traps are arranged in the Turning Heaven City Now no one knows.

"I speculate that Gong Yuling should be locked up in the inner city, which is the inner core area of the Heavenly Turning City, so there is no need for us to waste time in the outer city, and we should go through the garden and the outer city as soon as possible to reach the inner city to save people." After Shangguan Fumeng finished speaking, he glanced at Tang Yao, who was pondering as he walked, not knowing what he was thinking.

"What about your opinion?" Shangguan Fumeng pushed Tang Yao and asked.

"I think we may have a misunderstanding from the beginning, that is, to believe Ryota Hirai's words, thinking that he really locked up Gong Yuling here, if ...... I mean, if he hadn't locked Gong Yuling up here, would we have jumped into the air and fallen into the trap he had arranged? ”

These words made Shangguan Fumeng and Song Shun startled at the same time, it was not impossible that there was no such possibility, after they came in, there was no one, and they didn't even hear any movement, it was very likely that this was a trap without bait, and Tang Yao and the three of them still got in.

"Shall we withdraw first, and then think about it in the long run?" As soon as Shangguan Fumeng finished saying this, the surrounding fog floated over, and it became thicker and thicker, and soon the whole of the entire garden was no longer visible, and even the bodies of the three people began to hide in the fog, and only their heads could still be seen.

"Tang Yao, it doesn't seem right, our bodies seem to be shrouded in fog......" Shangguan Fumeng's words hadn't finished speaking, and his voice disappeared as if he had been eaten, and at the same time, Tang Yao saw that Song Shun and Shangguan Fumeng's bodies also disappeared into the fog, and he walked towards the position where the two of them were standing just now, and in just a second, the two of them were gone.

Tang Yao opened his mouth and shouted, "Where are you two, hey......"

It was then that he realized that he could not make his voice, which was a strange feeling, as if he could speak but his voice could not be transmitted or was muffled.

Tang Yao, who felt more and more that something was wrong, did not sit still, the obsidian released a strong fire light to disperse the surrounding fog, at this time, about a minute or so had passed since Song Shun and Shangguan Fumeng disappeared from Tang Yao's eyes, the flames quickly dispelled the surrounding fog, and the garden reappeared in Tang Yao's eyes, but at this moment, the garden was no longer the dilapidated appearance that he saw before, but became a splendid appearance like a hundred flowers blooming in spring, It was as if Tang Yao had returned to the state of a hundred years ago when the Heaven Turning City had not been abandoned in an instant.

At that time, the castle was the headquarters of the Hirai family, and the garden was naturally well cared for.

But it was clear that the Heaven Turning City had been abandoned, and what he saw when he walked in was indeed a dilapidated garden, why did this place change back to such a beautiful appearance in the blink of an eye, Tang Yao could be sure that the trap set up here by Ryota Hirai had been triggered.

The fog completely dissipated, the sun was shining in the sky, only a few wisps of clouds floated by, the surrounding flowers were fragrant, Tang Yao looked around vigilantly, there was no one, but the illusion still existed, at this time, there was a sudden sound in the direction of the door behind him, like urgent footsteps, Tang Yao turned around, and saw a man in a cloth robe running from the direction of the gate, with an anxious expression on his face, holding a cloth ball in his hand, which looked like an ancient, and the cloth ball in his hand seemed to be more like a baby's swaddling clothes.

He didn't seem to see Tang Yao, he rushed straight over, Tang Yao had already held the Sword of Victory and Evil, he could be sure that the person in front of him should be an illusion, but what he couldn't be sure was whether this illusion would attack him.

The man got closer and closer, stepped over the fallen leaves on the ground, raised a flying flower when he ran, and then passed in front of Tang Yao, Tang Yao glanced at it, and saw that the swaddling baby in his arms was indeed a baby, but this baby was very strange, his face was black, his lips were bloodless, he didn't cry or make trouble, more precisely, there was no life at all, it looked like a dead baby.

The man passed in front of Tang Yao with his swaddling clothes in his arms, and continued to walk forward, Tang Yao followed, and when the man was about to walk through the garden to the house where the servants in the outer city lived, suddenly two huge black war knives smashed down like a closed gate, making two loud noises and blocking the man's way forward.

The man suddenly stopped, took a step back, one hand was still holding the baby, the other hand was holding the saber at his waist, and the owners of the two giant war knives also appeared with the smoke, they were two ghosts as tall as giant demons, with two horns on their heads, red skin all over their bodies, sharp and turned fangs, burly and strong bodies, two black war knives like two huge door panels, the man did not dare to move and opened his mouth to shout at the two huge ghosts.

Tang Yao couldn't understand what he said, but seeing that his expression was nervous, his voice trembled, and he was obviously anxious, and it seemed that his anxiety came from the baby in the swaddling clothes in his hand.

The man did not negotiate with the two huge ghosts in front of him, but kept shouting at the middle of the two ghosts, and after shouting about five or six sentences, a cloud of black gas suddenly gushed out of the space between the two ghosts, and a pair of white and slender hands like dry bones slowly stretched out from the black gas, and the hands slowly spread out towards the man in the robe, as if to ask him to hand over something, the man looked at the hands and then looked at the child in his arms, as if hesitating.

Tang Yao saw this and seemed to see a little sign, twenty-five years ago it was said that someone brought back a baby from outside, this baby has never appeared again after entering the Heavenly City, in the same year the previous generation of the Hirai family suffered from a serious disease, and in the same year the Hirai family moved their own headquarters, Tang Yao began to suspect that the scene in front of him may be the scene where the child was brought back twenty-five years ago.

But Tang Yao thought about it again, this is not right, if he saw the scene twenty-five years ago, it was the nineties, but the man in front of him was dressed exactly like an ancient, as if this scene happened hundreds of years ago or even thousands of years ago.

Just when Tang Yao hesitated, the man slowly walked forward with the baby in his arms, and finally chose to put the child in his arms in his hands after struggling for a while, the other party quickly brought the baby into the black gas after getting the child, and after a while, the hands stretched out again, at this time there was no trace of the baby, replaced by a key, the man quickly took the key, and then turned around and walked out.

Tang Yao watched the man's illusion disappear, he was very interested in the scene itself, but more interested in the key that the man got and the strange hands.

The man walked farther and farther, and Tang Yao was about to follow to see how the illusion would change next, when a cold wind suddenly hit from behind, Tang Yao instinctively dodged to the side, and saw a black big knife fall on his head, and he just avoided the black big knife behind him.

Looking back again, it was actually a huge red ghost that appeared in the illusion that attacked him, obviously it was just an illusion, but he suddenly turned his head and attacked him, which was of course unexpected by Tang Yao.

"There is only one ghost in front of you, what about the other one......" Tang Yao's eyes changed, and sure enough, the second black big knife was slashed from the other side, this time Tang Yao didn't have time to dodge, so he could only rely on the body protection essence to carry it, the blade slashed heavily on the body protection essence, and the body protection essence was split after supporting it for a while, but it also bought Tang Yao time to dodge, he quickly retreated, dodging the second ghost attack on him.

"It's obviously an illusion from the past, why did you suddenly attack me, there is a strange ......" Tang Yao looked suspicious after standing firm.
