Like a phantom dancing in the fiery red light, it flashed across the giant's neck in an instant, and the huge head fell from the body in an instant.

The boiling lava finally calmed down at this moment. The towering giant that was burning with flames cooled completely, turned into cold rock, fell backwards, and fell into the boiling magma, splashing with blazing flames.

He Ao's footsteps had passed through the ruins in front of the building and arrived at the 'gateway' where half of the building had collapsed.

The ruins he passed just now seemed to be some kind of 'derivative building' in front of this building, and this was the core of the entire building complex.

He stared at the deep hall behind the door, his eyes scanning the space inside the hall.

This building has long since collapsed, and there are ruins everywhere in the building. The only area that can be seen that can be moved is a barely spacious hall.

However, from the exquisite decorations covered with dust on the remaining building fragments, we can vaguely see the magnificence of this building in its heyday.

These bubble spaces are 're-enactments' of the past that people who enter the space are most afraid of. In other words, in reality, such a ruin also exists, and has Ji An ever been there?

He Ao thought, withdrew his gaze and looked in front of him.

The position he is in now is where the remaining power gathers deepest.

He lowered his head and looked at his feet.

Thick dust accumulated on the floor of the entire hall. At the same time, the collapsed broken bricks around it seemed to have not been touched, and the dust on the broken bricks was still retained.

This proves that either Jie An did not enter this hall, or he 'disappeared' without his feet touching the ground after entering the hall.

He Ao squatted down slightly and stared at the ashes around him.

According to the memories of the giant, Ji An was pulled into this building by some kind of force. At that time, he was fighting a fierce battle with the giant and was not at a disadvantage.

This proves that Jie An did not consciously want to 'protect himself' by hiding in the building, but was most likely forcibly pulled into the 'building' by some force.

But He Ao saw no trace of anyone moving in this building.

Jie An was forcibly taken away from this space by some kind of force?

He Ao stood up thinking.

But why Jie An?

Among the four people, Li Cheng holds an angel-level weapon and is the strongest on the surface, and is not easily 'disappeared'. This may be the reason why Li Cheng was not 'selected'.

However, the clone of 'Hao Yi' is only a C-level weapon holding a B-level weapon, and is the weakest. In theory, it should be the easiest to be 'taken away', but it was not taken away.

Similarly, 'Geya''s actual combat effectiveness is weaker than Ji'an, but she was not taken away either.

So strength may be an influencing factor, but it is most likely not the only factor.

What other factors are there?

At this moment, He Ao thought of the 'relics of the past' that he saw through the echoes of the past.

That seems to be the ‘body’ of the transparent planet.

The bubble space where the 'Hao Yi' clone is located is a replica of the 'main world' and has nothing to do with the ruins.

Although Goya recreated the ruins, the ruins in her memory were too advanced and were not recreated.

In a mystical sense, the more you understand and interact with, the more involved you are. Ordinary people who are exposed to extraordinary events will be more likely to be exposed to extraordinary events later on.

This situation is even more obvious for high-level entities.

He Ao raised his head and looked at the building in front of him.

The ruins of this building seem to have some kind of 'secret', but the personality is not strong enough, and it is a replica of the ruins, so it has some kind of high-level 'involvement' with the ruins of the past, so it has become the behind-the-scenes existence that can be passed on.

'Channels' of power?

Among the four people, it was easiest for the person behind the scenes to transfer power to Jie An, so he ‘taken’ Jie An away?

However, there seemed to be some kind of haste in the process of Jie An being taken away. Even the lava giant originally used to deal with Jie An looked confused.

Does this mean that this is not the original layout behind the scenes, but some kind of temporary 'countermeasure' after the angel doll appeared?

He Ao looked at the deep darkness ahead. In the endless darkness, there seemed to be a hazy figure sitting in front of him, and a chess piece fell in front of him.

It seems that this time the enemies are more difficult than before.

However, if it is really the opponent's countermeasures, Ji'an should still be of use now, which means that there is a high probability that he is still alive.

Anyone who can reach B level in the main world and establish a force is not a fool.

As long as the other party gives Jie An a chance, Jie An should be able to save his life.

While thinking, He Ao raised his eyes and tried his best to use the spreading power of the Eye of Truth in his body, and looked around carefully.

As he looked carefully, some extremely fine, black 'lines' appeared in his field of vision.

These lines are similar to the extraordinary power that constructs this hall. They are blended in and cannot be discovered unless you look carefully.

But unlike the stability of the energy that forms the space, these black lines are extremely dim and have completely dissipated.

This should be the 'traces' left by the power behind the scenes passing through this space.

He Ao locked his eyes on these black lines and found other black lines little by little. Then he followed this black line and moved forward.

He quickly arrived at the center of the hall.

At this point, the black lines have disappeared.

He Ao glanced around and found no other traces. Then he raised his head thoughtfully and looked above his head.

The top of this building has long been sealed by a collapsed wall. Looking from the bottom up, there is only darkness and the remaining walls that tilted to seal the top.

A fine layer of dust has formed on these walls. It is not thick, but it almost covers the entire wall.

He Ao was thinking, and a lot of thoughts ran through his mind.

The lava giant that Ji An was originally afraid of has been killed. According to the previous rules, the "bottom monster" in this space will appear, leaving him little time to think.

After seeing the dust on the ground again, He Ao's eyes paused, and then he turned around, facing the door, half squatting down, simulating a sitting position with his head raised and dozing off.

This is Jian's favorite dozing position.

He opened his eyes and adjusted his posture slightly so that his head was closer to the position where Jian was doing this posture.

Looking along this posture, his eyes happened to fall on a sloping wall.

The wall was about ten meters high from the ground. It was still covered with fine dust, but above the dust, people used thin force to leave twisted traces. These traces were combined to form a central

Native characters.

'star'

This character was not finished, and the last stroke was only half written. Obviously, the person who wrote this character did not have much time.

The arcs of the strokes are too smooth and crooked, and they look like Chinese characters written by people from the Theia Empire who have not practiced calligraphy.

Obviously, this prompt is reserved for people from the main world who understand Chinese characters.

It seems that this is a 'hint' left by Ji'an, which may be related to the building in the ruins.

The people who know this building best are the people who have been to this building and have left a fear of this building.

‘Star’, what does it represent, starry sky? Stars? Starry night?

He Ao raised his eyes, walked slowly back to the door, and looked up at the sky. In the depths of the dark sky, dim starlight that was completely different from the normal starry sky was reflected.

Does such an area also exist in the place where Jie An was ‘taken away’?

While He Ao was staring at the starry sky, the magma in front of him suddenly boiled.

Bang-bang-bang-bang-

Countless lava monsters of about two to three meters climbed out of the flaming lake, and then rushed towards He Ao without hesitation.

He Ao glanced at these monsters and raised the Shadowless Sword in his hand.

The invisible sword light streaked across the sky, cutting apart these continuous lava monsters like mowing grass.

"call--"

As these lava monsters fell, thick limbs protruded from the magma.

The hot magma trembled violently, and the rocks suspended in the magma also trembled violently.

These boiling lava flowed to both sides like water, revealing the terrifying body under the lava.

It was a monster that looked like a louse, but was hundreds of meters long, covered in lava, and had hundreds of human legs.

The monster lowered its body and stared at He Ao. Its fiery red and slender eyes flickered for a moment, and suddenly spit out a burning red light.

This light hit the ruins of the building and instantly penetrated the entire building, leaving a molten hole.

Then the monster moved its head and swept the light towards He Ao below.

He Ao looked up at the monster, raised the shadowless sword in his hand, and advanced instead of retreating, rushing out like a stream of light.

His figure almost brushed against the glowing bottom of the lava, and his sword pierced the monster's head.

Then he raised the tip of his sword and instantly cut open the monster's right eye.

Only one of the two red rays of light remained.

The monster immediately stopped spewing out light, leaving one eye to look at He Ao. Hot lava flowed out from the gaps in its armor, covering his head and flowing towards the place where He Ao stood.
